Class A share purchases will be subject to any applicable sales load.  See the section within the prospectus entitled “Class A shares”.

In addition, systematic exchanges and dividend/capital gain distributions from other Funds’ or Columbia Funds’ Class B shares directed to Class B shares of a Fund will be discontinued.  Unless contrary instructions are received in advance, such dividend/capital gain distributions from Class B shares of the other Fund or Columbia Fund will be reinvested in Class B shares of the same Fund or Columbia Fund, respectively.

Accordingly, effective February 29, 2008, the prospectuses and statement of additional information for Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Funds are hereby supplemented by eliminating all references to the ability to purchase Class B shares of the Funds, except as otherwise noted in this supplement.
