HIGHLIGHTS
• A familiar drama was replayed in 2012, as stocks recovered late in the
year from worries over Europe and political wrangling in the U.S.
• The Mid-Cap Growth Fund added to its gain over the past six months
and finished roughly in the middle of its peer group for the year.
• A wide range of our holdings saw good gains for the year, led by
biotechnology positions.
• We expect the story may remain much the same in 2013, but we
are mindful that longer-term and important changes are taking
place offstage.

Manager’s Letter
Fellow Shareholders
Since this drama’s premiere in 2010, it has become a somewhat tiresome
annual spectacle:
• Act I: Good earnings lead to gains early in the year!
• Act II: European debt crisis worsens, causing summer downturn!
• Act III: Washington political battles further threaten recovery!
• Act IV: Fed rides to the rescue!
Having long grown weary of the drama, many Americans continued to shun stocks
in 2012 in favor of the boredom but seeming safety of the fixed income market.
However, the dwindling number of stock investors who persevered realized solid
gains from the year’s repeat performance. While our 13.91% gain for 2012 was far
better than one might have expected given the news flow through the year, our
fund’s relative performance was unexciting. We finished roughly in the middle of our
competitive pack, enjoying a decent gain over the past six months and solid results
for the year. Overall, mid-cap growth stocks slightly trailed the broader market, as
mid-caps outperformed, but growth trailed value.
The Mid-Cap Growth Fund returned 5.79% in the past six months
and 13.91% in the year ended December 31, 2012. (Returns for
Advisor and R Class shares were lower due to their different fee
structure.) The fund modestly underperformed its Russell index over
the two periods while more substantially lagging the S&P index, which
includes some strongly performing value stocks. The fund performed a

P erformance C omparison
When we last wrote, the market had managed a decent gain in the first
half of the year despite a global economy that appeared to be slowing,
a debt crisis in Europe that had grown worse, and a political situation
in the U.S. that was in shambles. Stocks built on their gains in the
second half of the year as these obstacles moderated. U.S. economic
growth picked up in the third quarter, and more visibly to most
Americans, the pace of job growth accelerated. By the end of the year,
it became clear that the housing sector had finally engineered a solid
turnaround, and consumer confidence gauges were climbing back
to multiyear highs. China, a key world growth engine following the
Great Recession, appeared to be settling into a pattern of slower but
sustainable growth. European economies continued to founder, but the
Continent’s debt crisis eased following a new rescue program from the
European Central Bank. Politicians in the U.S. managed to avoid going
over the fiscal cliff or shutting down the federal government, which,
we surmise, counts as progress in this highly polarized age.

“Never fear, the Fed is here!” one observer recently quipped. While
the Lone Ranger did not necessarily ride to investors’ rescue in 2012,
he certainly made them feel better. In September, the broad market
indexes reached multiyear highs and the S&P MidCap 400 established
a new record after the Federal Reserve announced a third round of
quantitative easing (more commonly called QE3). In what was widely
interpreted as a victory for the “doves”—or those Fed officials willing
to accept the risk of higher inflation in order to bring down the
unemployment rate—the central bank announced that it would begin
buying $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities each month.
In December, the Fed went further by announcing that it would begin
purchasing $45 billion in Treasury bonds each month starting in 2013
and surprised most observers by setting specific targets for the unemployment rate and inflation—6.5% and 2.5%, respectively—before it
would begin raising short-term interest rates. Thus, QE4 followed on
QE3, meaning that the Fed was introducing new stimulus measures
even faster than Apple could update its iPad. Stocks went on to finish
the year on a high note, boosted further by a last-minute budget deal
in Washington.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
A broad range of the fund’s holdings advanced over the year, with
eight of nine sectors contributing to gains. Biotechnology remains a key
focus of the fund and was our leading industry contributor. Our single
largest contributor was Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology
company with an FDA-approved treatment for wet age-related macular
degeneration, a widespread cause of blindness in the elderly. Investors’
enthusiasm for the drug increased after a competing product fell under
a cloud of controversy surrounding compounding pharmacies. Another
strong contributor was Alexion Pharmaceuticals, whose drug, Soliris,
developed to treat a life threatening blood disease, showed potential to
treat other serious illnesses. The company is also expected to bring to
market a treatment for a genetic deficiency affecting infants and young
children. Our portfolio is diversified across the biotech segment, ending
the year with 11 such holdings, as the success or failure of any one
drug can make or break a company. (Please refer to the fund’s portfolio
of investments for a complete list of our holdings and the amount each
represents in the portfolio.)
Several of our other health care holdings also performed well. One of
our top contributors was Catamaran, formerly SXC Health Solutions,
a pharmacy benefit manager that acquired a key competitor to create
the fourth-largest player in its industry. Over the past six months,

also performed well. Over the past six months, we
added to our position in J.B. Hunt Transport Services,
which is benefiting from its growing intermodal business. We initiated
positions in Equifax, a data provider for consumers and businesses

approach led us to trim some of our winners, such as longtime

Trimble Navigation reported impressive earnings gains as adoption
of its technology accelerated. This global provider of advanced
positioning and location-based solutions is evolving into a more
comprehensive platform with its ongoing shift to software and services.
In the second half of the year, we initiated positions in Motorola
Solutions, a purveyor of communications products and services for
first responders and mobile workers; LinkedIn, the world’s largest
professional social network; and ServiceNow, a leading IT management software provider. Conversely, we eliminated Ariba as it was
acquired by SAP and trimmed Global Payments due to increasing
competitive risks. A notable detractor in the technology sector was

its shares have been under pressure due to increased competition in
touch-based technologies, we believe the market has overcompensated
for the competitive risks in that segment.

growth opportunities, but two of our best contributors came from
the segment. Franco-Nevada, a gold-focused royalty and investment

shares of a small group of
fast-growing companies.
We sense that this momentum might have peaked in recent months,
but our relative returns suffered somewhat due both to our stock
selection and our underweight in the sector. Our biggest mistakes in
the segment were owning LivingSocial and Groupon. We purchased
shares of LivingSocial as a private placement and later bought Groupon
well after the sheen had worn off its initial public offering. While we
thought that the reduced price we paid for Groupon provided us an
adequate cushion for disappointment, the stock fared poorly as the
business model proved far less durable than we thought. We eliminated Groupon and greatly marked down our LivingSocial position.
Another of our private holdings, Michael Kors Holdings, went public
in late 2011 and was one of our largest contributors in 2012 as its
products appealed to fashion-conscious consumers. Discount retailer
5
Dollar General also performed well, appealing to empty-nesters and
low-income shoppers who increasingly want smaller package sizes and
less intimidating stores with convenient parking. We added Dollar
Tree to the portfolio as well.
We have little positive to report about the stock performance of the
energy sector this year. The massive increase in natural gas production
as a result of fracking and other unconventional drilling processes
has weighed heavily on both natural gas and coal prices, as have
unseasonably warm winters. Trican Well Service, which we eliminated from the portfolio, and SM Energy were among our largest
detractors, but the majority of our holdings in the sector detracted from
results. Ironically, the pain currently being felt by energy producers
is probably setting the stage for strong performance in the coming
years from other fund holdings, particularly in the industrials sector.
As we have previously described, reliable and cheap domestic energy
is already encouraging firms to relocate production back to the U.S.,
sparking what could evolve into an American industrial renaissance.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
We doubt that our annual market spectacle will get much of a revamp
in 2013. Certainly, the cast of characters has not changed much, with
the recent elections having preserved the status quo in Washington.
Given the ongoing battles over fiscal issues, the nation’s political class
appears unlikely to do much to stimulate growth in 2013, although
we suspect that the economy might be poised for a solid recovery if
policymakers somehow manage to pull the correct levers. Instead, the
ongoing political gridlock and strident partisanship in Washington
appear to leave us poised for a series of ongoing mini-crises in the
coming quarters.
The Federal Reserve’s role as Lone Ranger might be altered a bit,
however. Recent signs suggest that at least some in the Fed are
growing wary of its massive bond purchases, and it is unclear whether
more monetary stimulus will have much of an effect. It will be up to
historians to determine whether several years of zero interest rates and
6
massive quantitative easing have been necessary to boost growth and
push investors into riskier assets. At this point, however, we suspect
a moderate and controlled upward drift in interest
rates would be good for the economy and for the
…most of the stock market.

drama has been taking place offstage, as is so often the

look forward to updating you on their performance in six months.

T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund
R isks of S tock I nvesting
As with all stock and bond mutual funds, the fund’s share price can fall because of
weakness in the stock or bond markets, a particular industry, or specific holdings. The
financial markets can decline for many reasons, including adverse political or economic
developments, changes in investor psychology, or heavy institutional selling. The
prospects for an industry or company may deteriorate because of a variety of factors,
including disappointing earnings or changes in the competitive environment. In addition,
the investment manager’s assessment of companies held in a fund may prove incorrect,
resulting in losses or poor performance even in rising markets. The stocks of mid-cap
companies entail greater risk and are usually more volatile than the shares of larger
companies. In addition, growth stocks can be volatile for several reasons. Since they
usually reinvest a high proportion of earnings in their own businesses, they may lack
the dividends usually associated with value stocks that can cushion their decline in a
falling market. Also, since investors buy these stocks because of their expected superior
earnings growth, earnings disappointments often result in sharp price declines.

The expense ratio shown is as of the fund’s fiscal year ended 12/31/11. This number
may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a
different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers.
F und E xpense E xample
As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such
as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees,
distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund
and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The
example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent
six-month period and held for the entire period.
Please note that the fund has three share classes: The original share class (Investor Class)
charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee, Advisor Class shares are offered only
through unaffiliated brokers and other financial intermediaries and charge a 0.25% 12b-1
fee, and R Class shares are available to retirement plans serviced by intermediaries and
charge a 0.50% 12b-1 fee. Each share class is presented separately in the table.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (Actual) provides information about actual account values
and expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. You may use the information on this line,
together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided
by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading
“Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during
this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (Hypothetical) is based on hypothetical
account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed
5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare
the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical
example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the
other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the
actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual account service fee of $20, generally for accounts
with less than $10,000. The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund
accounts total $50,000 or more; accounts electing to receive electronic delivery of account
statements, transaction confirmations, prospectuses, and shareholder reports; or accounts
of an investor who is a T. Rowe Price Preferred Services, Personal Services, or Enhanced
Personal Services client (enrollment in these programs generally requires T. Rowe Price
assets of at least $100,000). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are
subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of
investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing
costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads.
Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not
help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund
charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund
December 31, 2012
N otes to F inancial S tatements
T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Inc. (the fund), is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The fund seeks to provide long-term capital
appreciation by investing in mid-cap stocks with potential for above-average
earnings growth. The fund has three classes of shares: the Mid-Cap Growth
Fund original share class, referred to in this report as the Investor Class, offered
since June 30, 1992; the Mid-Cap Growth Fund–Advisor Class (Advisor
Class), offered since March 31, 2000; and the Mid-Cap Growth Fund–R Class
(R Class), offered since September 30, 2002. Advisor Class shares are sold only
through unaffiliated brokers and other unaffiliated financial intermediaries,
and R Class shares are available to retirement plans serviced by intermediaries.
The Advisor Class and R Class each operate under separate Board-approved
Rule 12b-1 plans, pursuant to which each class compensates financial intermediaries for distribution, shareholder servicing, and/or certain administrative
services. Each class has exclusive voting rights on matters related solely to that
class; separate voting rights on matters that relate to all classes; and, in all other
respects, the same rights and obligations as the other classes.
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation The accompanying financial statements were prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAP), which require the use of estimates made by management.
Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however,
actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in
the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately
realized upon sale or maturity.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Income and
expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends received from mutual
fund investments are reflected as dividend income; capital gain distributions are
reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital gain distributions
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income tax-related interest and penalties,
if incurred, would be recorded as income tax expense. Investment transactions
are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported
34
T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund
on the identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared and paid by each class
annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid by
the fund annually.
Currency Translation Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the
prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such
currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by a major bank. Purchases and
sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and
losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.
Class Accounting The Advisor Class and R Class each pay distribution,
shareholder servicing, and/or certain administrative expenses in the form of
Rule 12b-1 fees, in an amount not exceeding 0.25% and 0.50%, respectively,
of the class’s average daily net assets. Shareholder servicing, prospectus, and
shareholder report expenses incurred by each class are charged directly to the
class to which they relate. Expenses common to all classes, investment income,
and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based
upon the relative daily net assets of each class.
Rebates and Credits Subject to best execution, the fund may direct certain
security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related
brokerage commission to the fund in cash. Commission rebates are reflected as
realized gain on securities in the accompanying financial statements and totaled
$541,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Additionally, the fund earns
credits on temporarily uninvested cash balances held at the custodian, which
reduce the fund’s custody charges. Custody expense in the accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits, which are reflected as
expenses paid indirectly.
In-Kind Redemptions In accordance with guidelines described in the fund’s
prospectus, the fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as
payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial
reporting purposes, the fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the
extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds
the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions
35
T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund
are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed
realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the year ended December 31,
2012, the fund realized $385,378,000 of net gain on $867,929,000 of
in-kind redemptions.
New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2011, the FASB issued
amended guidance to enhance disclosure for offsetting assets and liabilities.
The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2013. Adoption will have no effect on the fund’s net
assets or results of operations.
Note 2 - VALUATION
The fund’s financial instruments are reported at fair value as defined by GAAP.
The fund determines the values of its assets and liabilities and computes each
class’s net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business.
Valuation Methods Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities
exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued at the last
quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time
the valuations are made, except for OTC Bulletin Board securities, which
are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. A security that is
listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on
the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed
securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the latest
bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale price for
international securities.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing net asset
value per share on the day of valuation.
Other investments, including restricted securities and private placements,
and those financial instruments for which the above valuation procedures
are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value, are stated at fair
value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee,
established by the fund’s Board of Directors (the Board). Subject to oversight
by the Board, the Valuation Committee develops pricing-related policies
36
T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund
and procedures and approves all fair-value determinations. The Valuation
Committee regularly makes good faith judgments, using a wide variety of
sources and information, to establish and adjust valuations of certain securities as events occur and circumstances warrant. For instance, in determining
the fair value of private-equity instruments, the Valuation Committee considers
a variety of factors, including the company’s business prospects, its financial
performance, strategic events impacting the company, relevant valuations of
similar companies, new rounds of financing, and any negotiated transactions of
significant size between other investors in the company. Because any fair-value
determination involves a significant amount of judgment, there is a degree of
subjectivity inherent in such pricing decisions.
For valuation purposes, the last quoted prices of non-U.S. equity securities
may be adjusted under the circumstances described below. If the fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and the close
of the NYSE will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all
of its portfolio securities, the fund will adjust the previous closing prices to
reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of the
NYSE. In deciding whether it is necessary to adjust closing prices to reflect fair
value, the fund reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign
markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of
instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets
of foreign securities. A fund may also fair value securities in other situations,
such as when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The
fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing prices and information to evaluate and/or adjust those prices. The fund cannot predict how often
it will use closing prices and how often it will determine it necessary to adjust
those prices to reflect fair value. As a means of evaluating its security valuation
process, the fund routinely compares closing prices, the next day’s opening
prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices. Additionally, trading in the
underlying securities of the fund may take place in various foreign markets
on certain days when the fund is not open for business and does not calculate
a net asset value. As a result, net asset values may be significantly affected on
days when shareholders cannot make transactions.
37
T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund
Valuation Inputs Various inputs are used to determine the value of the fund’s
financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels
listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments
Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but
not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk)
Level 3 – unobservable inputs
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources
independent of the fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the fund’s own
assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are
not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial
instruments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively
traded in foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the
availability of closing prices because the fund evaluates and determines whether
those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require
adjustment, as described above. The following table summarizes the fund’s
financial instruments, based on the inputs used to determine their values
on December 31, 2012:

Note 3 - OTHER Investment Transactions
Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following
practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance.
The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund
are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information.
Restricted Securities The fund may invest in securities that are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Prompt sale of such securities at
an acceptable price may be difficult and may involve substantial delays and
additional costs.
Securities Lending The fund lends its securities to approved brokers to earn
additional income. It receives as collateral cash and U.S. government securities
valued at 102% to 105% of the value of the securities on loan. Collateral is
maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than the value of
loaned securities as determined at the close of fund business each day; any
additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered
to the fund the next business day. Cash collateral is invested by the fund’s
39
T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund
lending agent(s) in accordance with investment guidelines approved by
management. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could
experience a delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or
value if the borrower fails to return the securities or if collateral investments
decline in value. Securities lending revenue recognized by the fund consists of
earnings on invested collateral and borrowing fees, net of any rebates to the
borrower and compensation to the lending agent. In accordance with GAAP,
investments made with cash collateral are reflected in the accompanying
financial statements, but collateral received in the form of securities is not. At
December 31, 2012, there were no securities on loan.
Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term securities
aggregated $5,139,680,000 and $6,971,906,000, respectively, for the year
ended December 31, 2012.
Note 4 - Federal Income Taxes
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable
income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income
tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income
and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records
are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are
not adjusted for temporary differences.
The fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The fund’s
tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after
the filing of the tax return but which can be extended to six years in certain
circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax
positions that require a provision for income taxes.
Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to redemptions in kind and
a tax practice that treats a portion of the proceeds from each redemption of
capital shares as a distribution of taxable net investment income and/or realized
capital gain. Reclassifications between income and gain relate primarily to the
40
T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund
offset of the current net operating loss against realized gains. For the year ended
December 31, 2012, the following reclassifications were recorded to reflect tax
character (there was no impact on results of operations or net assets):

assets were as follows:
($000s)
Cost of investments

Paid-in capital
13,759,046
$
18,015,227
Net assets
(433,161)
(52,140)
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) is attributable to the deferral of losses from wash sales and
the realization of gains/losses on passive foreign investment companies for
tax purposes. The fund intends to retain realized gains to the extent of available
capital loss carryforwards. Net realized capital losses may be carried forward
indefinitely to offset future realized capital gains. All or a portion of the capital
41
T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund
loss carryforwards may be from losses realized between November 1 and the
fund’s fiscal year-end, which are deferred for tax purposes until the subsequent
year but recognized for financial reporting purposes in the year realized.
Note 5 - related Party Transactions
The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), a
wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (Price Group). The
investment management agreement between the fund and Price Associates
provides for an annual investment management fee, which is computed daily
and paid monthly. The fee consists of an individual fund fee and a group fee.
The individual fund fee is equal to 0.35% of the fund’s average daily net assets
up to $15 billion and 0.30% of the fund’s average daily net assets in excess of
$15 billion. The group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets
of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a
graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion
of assets to 0.28% for assets in excess of $300 billion. The fund’s group fee is
determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets.
At December 31, 2012, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.30%.
In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates
and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates (collectively, Price). Price
Associates computes the daily share prices and provides certain other administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides shareholder
and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer and dividend
disbursing agent. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc., provides sub­
accounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement accounts invested
in the Investor Class and R Class. For the year ended December 31, 2012,
expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $141,000 for
Price Associates; $2,622,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc.; and $6,892,000
for T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The total amount payable at
period-end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates
in the accompanying financial statements.
Additionally, the fund is one of several mutual funds in which certain college
savings plans managed by Price Associates may invest. As approved by the

underlying Price funds for the purpose of exercising management or control.
Pursuant to separate special servicing agreements, expenses associated with the
operation of the Spectrum and Retirement Funds are borne by each underlying
Price fund to the extent of estimated savings to it and in proportion to the
average daily value of its shares owned by the Spectrum and Retirement Funds,
respectively. Expenses allocated under these agreements are reflected as shareholder servicing expenses in the accompanying financial statements. For the
year ended December 31, 2012, the fund was allocated $125,000 of Spectrum
Funds’ expenses and $4,238,000 of Retirement Funds’ expenses. Of these
amounts, $2,457,000 related to services provided by Price. The amount payable
at period-end pursuant to this agreement is reflected as Due to Affiliates in
the accompanying financial statements. At December 31, 2012, approximately
1% of the outstanding shares of the Investor Class were held by the Spectrum
Funds and 14% were held by the Retirement Funds.

T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds), open-end management investment
companies managed by Price Associates and considered affiliates of the fund.
The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds are offered as cash management

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Inc.
(the “Fund”) at December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations, the
changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods
indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of
the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers, and confirmation of the underlying funds by correspondence with
the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
