Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Fund is not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Fund. Information regarding certain pending and settled legal proceedings may be found in the Fund's shareholder reports and in the SAI. Additionally, Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov. EX-99.77I NEW SECUR 4 c64308ex77i.txt EX-99.77I EXHIBIT 77I RIVERSOURCE DIVERSIFIED INCOME SERIES, INC. FOR COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND CLASS Z Class Z shares are offered only to certain eligible investors at net asset value without an initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge on redemption. These shares do not assess a distribution or service fee or convert to any other class of shares. Class Z shares are offered only to certain eligible investors as described below: There is no minimum initial investment in Class Z shares for the following categories of eligible investors: - Any person investing all or part of the proceeds of a distribution, rollover or transfer of assets into a Columbia Management Individual Retirement Account, from any deferred compensation plan which was a shareholder of any of the Funds of Columbia Acorn Trust (formerly named Liberty Acorn Trust) on September 29, 2000, in which the investor was a participant and through which the investor invested in one or more of the Funds of Columbia Acorn Trust immediately prior to the distribution, transfer or rollover. - Any health savings account sponsored by a third party platform and any omnibus group retirement plan for which a selling and/or servicing agent or other entity provides services and is not compensated by the Fund for those services, other than in the form of payments for shareholder servicing or sub-accounting performed in place of the Transfer Agent. - Any investor participating in a wrap program sponsored by a selling and/or servicing agent or other entity that is paid an asset-based fee by the investor and that is not compensated by the Fund for those services, other than payments for shareholder servicing or sub-accounting performed in place of the Transfer Agent. The minimum initial investment in Class Z shares for the following eligible investors is $1,000: - Any individual retirement plan (assuming the eligibility criteria below are met) or group retirement plan that is not held in an omnibus manner for which a selling and/or servicing agent or other entity provides services and is not compensated by the Fund for those services, other than in the form of payments for shareholder servicing or sub-accounting performed in place of the Transfer Agent. - Any person employed as of April 30, 2010 by the former investment manager, distributor or transfer agent of the Legacy Columbia funds is eligible to make new and subsequent purchases in the Class Z shares through an individual retirement account. The minimum initial investment in Class Z shares for the following categories of eligible investors is $2,000: - Any investor buying shares through a Columbia Management state tuition plan organized under Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. - Any shareholder (as well as any family member of a shareholder or person listed on an account registration for any account of the shareholder) of another fund distributed by the Distributor (i) who holds Class Z shares; (ii) who held Primary A shares prior to the share class redesignation of Primary A shares as Class Z shares that occurred on August 22, 2005; (iii) who holds Class A shares that were obtained by an exchange of Class Z shares; or (iv) who bought shares of certain mutual funds that were not subject to sales charges and that merged with a Legacy Columbia fund distributed by the Distributor. - Any trustee or director (or family member of a trustee or director) of a fund distributed by the Distributor. - Any investor participating in an account offered by a selling and/or servicing agent or other entity that provides services to such an account, is paid an asset-based fee by the investor and is not compensated by the Fund for those services, other than payments for shareholder servicing or sub-accounting performed in place of the Transfer Agent (each investor buying shares through a selling and/or servicing agent must independently satisfy the minimum investment requirement noted above). - Any institutional investor who is a corporation, partnership, trust, foundation, endowment, institution, government entity, or similar organization, which meets the respective qualifications for an accredited investor, as defined under the Securities Act of 1933. - Certain financial institutions and intermediaries, such as insurance companies, trust companies, banks, endowments, investment companies or foundations, buying shares for their own account, including Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates and/or subsidiaries. - Any person employed as of April 30, 2010 by the former investment manager, distributor or transfer agent of the Legacy Columbia funds is eligible to make new and subsequent purchases in the Class Z shares through a non-retirement account. - Certain other investors as set forth in more detail in the SAI. The minimum initial investment requirements may be waived for accounts that are managed by an investment professional, for accounts held in approved discretionary or non-discretionary wrap programs, for accounts that are a part of an employer-sponsored retirement plan, or for other account types if approved by the Distributor. The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum investment and related requirements at any time, with or without prior notice.
