The Investment Manager and its investment advisory affiliates,

Participating Affiliates to provide a variety of services such as investment research, investment monitoring, trading, and discretionary investment management (including portfolio management and proxy voting) to certain accounts managed by the
Investment Manager, including the Fund. These Participating Affiliates will provide services to the Fund and other accounts of the Investment Manager either pursuant to delegation agreements, personnel-sharing agreements or similar inter-company or
other arrangements or relationships and the Fund will pay no additional fees and expenses as a result of any such arrangements or relationships. These Participating Affiliates, like the Investment Manager, are direct or indirect subsidiaries of
Ameriprise Financial and are registered with the appropriate respective regulators in their home jurisdictions and, where required, the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in the United States.
Pursuant to some of these arrangements or relationships,
certain personnel of Columbia Management and other Participating Affiliates serve as “associated persons” or officers of the Investment Manager and, in this capacity, subject to the oversight and supervision of the Investment Manager and
consistent with the investment objectives, policies and limitations set forth in this prospectus and the Fund's SAI, and with the Investment Manager’s and the Fund's compliance policies and procedures, provide services to the Fund.
The rest of the section remains unchanged.
