The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting columbiamanagement.com or calling 800.345.6611.
 
The 5.75% sales charge applicable to Class A shares of the Fund is not reflected in the table above. If reflected, returns would be lower than those shown. The performance of other classes may vary from that shown because of differences in fees and expenses. The Fund’s returns reflect the effect of fee waivers/expense reimbursements, if any. Without such waivers/reimbursements, the Fund’s returns would be lower. See the Average Annual Total Returns table for performance of other share classes of the Fund.

Fund Expenses Example
(Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (ii) ongoing costs, which may include management fees; distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees; and other Fund fees and expenses. This 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. In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund’s shareholders indirectly bear the ongoing expenses of any funds in which the Fund invests (also referred to as “acquired funds”), including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds). The Fund’s indirect expense from investing in the acquired funds is based on the Fund’s pro rata portion of the ongoing expenses charged by acquired funds using the expense ratio of each of the acquired funds as of the acquired fund’s most recent shareholder report.
 
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six months ended January 31, 2011.
 
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, 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 in the first line under the heading titled “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return for the class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (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. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund Expenses Example (continued)
 
(a) The beginning values for Class Z are as of September 27, 2010 (when shares became available) for actual expense calculations.
(b) Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 185/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Actual expenses for Class Z are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 126/365 (to reflect the number of days in the period).
(c) Based on the actual return for the six months ended January 31, 2011: +17.66% for Class A, +17.20% for Class B, +17.17% for Class C, +17.83% for Class I,+17.63% for Class R, +17.74% for Class R4, +17.85% for Class R5 and +17.55% for Class W.
(d) Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager) and its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive certain fees and to absorb certain expenses until September 30, 2011, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Fund’s Board, such that net expenses (excluding fees and expenses of acquired funds), before giving effect to any performance incentive adjustment, will not exceed 1.07% for Class A, 1.82% for Class B, 1.82% for Class C, 0.64% for Class I, 0.94% for Class R4, 0.69% for Class R5 and 1.07% for Class W. Any amounts waived will not be reimbursed by the Fund. This change was effective October 1, 2010. Had this change been in place for the entire six month period ended January 31, 2011, the actual expenses paid would have been $6.29 for Class A, $10.40 for Class B, $10.40 for Class C, $3.92 for Class I, $5.57 for Class R4, $4.20 for Class R5 and $6.29 for Class W; the hypothetical expenses paid would have been $5.83 for Class A, $9.65 for Class B, $9.65 for Class C, $3.64 for Class I, $5.17 for Class R4, $3.89 for Class R5 and $5.83 for Class W.
(e) Based on the actual return for the period from September 27, 2010 (when shares became available) to January 31, 2011 of +12.81% for Class Z.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
 
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
 
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
    Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
 
    Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
 
    Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
 
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Fund Administrator, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
 
Foreign equity securities actively traded in markets where there is a significant delay in the local close relative to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are classified as Level 2. The values of these securities may include an adjustment to reflect the impact of significant market movements following the close of local trading, as described in Note 2 to the financial statements — Security Valuation.
 
 
See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

22  COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2011 SEMIANNUAL REPORT


Table of Contents

 
 
Fair Value Measurements (continued)
 
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Fund Administrator. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
 
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of January 31, 2011:

Financial Highlights
 
The following tables are intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. For periods ended 2007 and after, per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total returns assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Total returns do not reflect payment of sales charges, if any, and are not annualized for periods of less than one year.

Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
 
Note 1. Organization
 
Columbia Large Core Quantitative Fund (the Fund), a series of RiverSource Large Cap Series, Inc. (the Corporation), is a diversified fund. The Corporation is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. On February 15, 2011, shareholders approved a proposal to reorganize the Fund into a newly formed series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (formerly known as RiverSource Series Trust), a Massachusetts business trust. The reorganization was completed on March 7, 2011.
 
Fund Shares
The Corporation has 10 billion authorized shares of capital stock ($0.01 par value) that can be allocated among the separate series as designated by the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the Board). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class R, Class R4, Class R5, Class W, and Class Z shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
 
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
 
The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds. Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase.
 
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
 
Class I shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to the Columbia Family of Funds.
 
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are available to qualifying institutional investors. Effective September 7, 2010, Class R2 shares were renamed Class R shares.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
At August 27, 2010, all Class R3 shares were liquidated. On this date Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager) owned 100% of the shares.
 
Class R4 and Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges; however, these classes were closed to new investors effective December 31, 2010.
 
Class W shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs.
 
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to certain investors, as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class Z shares became effective September 27, 2010.
 
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
Security Valuation
All securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets.
 
Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market and are valued by an independent pricing service using an evaluated bid. When market quotes are not readily available, the pricing service, in determining fair values of debt securities, takes into consideration such factors as current quotations by broker/dealers, coupon, maturity, quality, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other yield and risk factors it deems relevant in determining valuations.

42  COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2011 SEMIANNUAL REPORT


Table of Contents

 
 
Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. However, many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the NYSE; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to the policy adopted by the Board, including utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the NYSE. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
 
Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
 
Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par upon reaching 60 days to maturity. Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates.
 
Futures and options on futures are valued daily based upon the last sale price at the close of the market on the principal exchange on which they are traded.
 
The policy adopted by the Board generally contemplates the use of fair valuation in the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, price quotations or valuations from other sources are not reflective of market value and thus deemed unreliable, or a significant event has occurred in relation to a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) that is not reflected in price quotations or valuations from other sources. A fair value price is a good faith estimate of the value of a security at a given point in time.
 
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day’s exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the

COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2011 SEMIANNUAL REPORT  43


Table of Contents

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
 
For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.
 
Derivative Instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments as detailed below to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
The Fund and any counterparty are required to maintain an agreement that requires the Fund and that counterparty to monitor (on a daily basis) the net fair value of all derivatives entered into pursuant to the contract between the Fund and such counterparty. If the net fair value of such derivatives between the Fund and that counterparty exceeds a certain threshold (as defined in the agreement), the Fund or the counterparty (as the case may be) is required to post cash and/or securities as collateral. Fair values of derivatives presented in the financial statements are not netted with the fair value of other derivatives or with any collateral amounts posted by the Fund or any counterparty.
 
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts traded on U.S. exchanges to maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks which may include interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may

realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
 
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund pledges cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
Effects of Derivative Transactions in the Financial Statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; the impact of derivative transactions on the Fund’s operations over the period including realized gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses. The derivative schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivatives outstanding at the end of the period, if any.

The fair value of such contracts at January 31, 2011 is set forth in the table above.
 
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Investment Manager has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. The Investment Manager is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
 
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
 
Income Recognition
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
 
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses which are charged directly to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

Table of Contents

 
 
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
 
Foreign Taxes
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
 
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, at rates ranging from approximately 10% to 15%. The Fund pays such foreign taxes on net realized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.
 
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed along with the income dividend. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
 
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
 
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
 
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement (IMSA), the Investment Manager determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.600% to 0.375% as the Fund’s net

The fee may be adjusted upward or downward by a performance incentive adjustment (PIA) determined monthly by measuring the percentage difference over a rolling 12-month period between the annualized performance of one Class A share of the Fund and the annualized performance of the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index. In certain circumstances, the Board may approve a change in the index. The maximum adjustment is 0.12% per year. If the performance difference is less than 0.50%, the adjustment will be zero. The adjustment increased the management fee by $1,250,285 for the six months ended January 31, 2011. The management fee for the six months ended January 31, 2011 was 0.63% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, including the adjustment under the terms of the performance incentive adjustment.
 
In September 2010, the Board approved an amended IMSA that, subject to shareholder approval, would increase the management fee rate payable to the Investment Manager at certain asset levels, and eliminate the PIA. The IMSA was also approved by the Fund’s shareholders at a meeting held on February 15, 2011. The IMSA is expected to be effective in the third quarter of 2011.
 
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.06% to 0.03% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The fee for the six months ended January 31, 2011 was 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to January 1, 2011, Ameriprise Financial, Inc. served as the Fund Administrator. Since January 1, 2011, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC has served as the Fund Administrator.
 
Other Fees
Other expenses are for, among other things, certain expenses of the Fund or the Board including: Fund boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. Payment of these Fund and Board expenses is facilitated by a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board. For the six months ended January 31, 2011, other expenses paid to this company were $7,374.
 
Compensation of Board Members
Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the board members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined under the 1940 Act may defer receipt of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for

market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
 
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer Agency Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent) is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund.
 
Prior to September 7, 2010, the Transfer Agent received annual account-based service fees for Class A, Class B and Class C shares which amount varied by class and annual asset-based service fees based on the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R, Class R4, Class R5 and Class W shares, which amount varied by class. In addition, the Transfer Agent charged an annual fee per inactive account and received reimbursement from the Fund for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
 
Under a new Transfer Agency Agreement effective September 7, 2010, the Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Fund for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Fund subject to an annual limitation (that varies by class) that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services, Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The Transfer Agent also pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund.
 
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

The Fund and certain other associated investment companies (together, the Guarantors), have severally, but not jointly, guaranteed the performance and observance of all the terms and conditions of a lease entered into by Seligman Data Corp. (SDC), including the payment of rent by SDC (the Guaranty). The lease and the Guaranty expire in January 2019.

SDC is owned by six associated investment companies, including the Fund. The Fund’s ownership interest in SDC at January 31, 2011 is included in other assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at cost of $22,506.
 
Plan Administration Fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R4 shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services. Prior to September 7, 2010, the Fund also paid an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares for such services.
 
Distribution Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor) for distribution and shareholder services.

the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
 
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $10,118,000 and $1,330,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of October 31, 2010, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
 
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $670,434 for Class A, $102,175 for Class B and $1,167 for Class C for the six months ended January 31, 2011.

* In addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the funds in which it invests (also referred to as “acquired funds”), including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds). Because the acquired funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of acquired funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary.

Note 5. Lending of Portfolio Securities
 
The Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (JPMorgan). The Agreement authorizes JPMorgan as lending agent to lend securities to authorized borrowers in order to generate additional income on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to the Agreement, the securities loaned are secured by cash or U.S. government securities equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Any additional collateral required to maintain those levels due to market fluctuations of the loaned securities is delivered the following business day. Cash collateral received is invested by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund into authorized investments pursuant to the Agreement. The investments made with the cash collateral are listed in the Portfolio of Investments. The values of such investments and any uninvested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral upon the return of the securities loaned. At January 31, 2011, securities valued at $833,763,645 were on loan, secured by cash collateral of $846,359,459 partially or fully invested in short-term securities or other cash equivalents.
 
Risks of delay in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the securities may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the securities loaned increases above the value of the collateral received. JPMorgan will indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security when due. Such indemnification does not extend to losses associated with declines in the value of cash collateral investments. The Investment Manager is not responsible for any losses incurred by the Fund in connection with the securities lending program. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
 
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund receives income for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of negotiated rebates paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses. Net income earned from securities lending for the six months ended January 31, 2011 is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund continues to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned.
 
Note 6. Affiliated Money Market Fund
 
The Fund may invest its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, a money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated Funds. The income earned by the Fund from such investments is

Table of Contents

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
included as “Dividends from affiliates” in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund.
 
Note 7. Shareholder Concentration
 
At January 31, 2011, the Investment Manager and/or affiliates owned 100% of Class I and Class Z shares.
 
Note 8. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Equity-Linked Notes
 
The Fund holds investments in two equity-linked notes (notes) for which Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (Lehman Brothers) is the counterparty. The notes (with an aggregate principal amount of $29.7 million) defaulted as of their respective maturity dates, September 14, 2008 and October 2, 2008. Lehman Brothers filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition on September 15, 2008, and as such, it is likely that the Fund will receive less than the maturity value of the notes, pending the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings. Based on the bankruptcy proceedings, the Fund recorded receivables aggregating $2.9 million based on the estimated amounts recoverable for the notes and recognized realized losses of $26.8 million. The estimates of the amounts recoverable for the notes are periodically adjusted by the Investment Manager based on the observable trading price of Lehman Brothers senior notes, which provide an indication of amounts recoverable through the bankruptcy proceedings. Any changes to the receivable balances resulting from such adjustments are recorded as a change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Operations. At January 31, 2011, the value of the receivable balances were $450,820, which represented 0.01% of the Fund’s net assets. The receivable balances for the notes are reported as other receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
Note 9. Line of Credit
 
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Administrative Agent), whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility became effective on October 14, 2010, replacing a prior credit facility. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $300 million. The borrowers shall have the right, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, to request an increase of up to $200 million in the aggregate amount of the credit facility from new or existing lenders, provided that the aggregate amount of the credit facility shall at no time exceed

54  COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2011 SEMIANNUAL REPORT


Table of Contents

 
 
$500 million. Participation in such increase by any existing lender shall be at such lender’s sole discretion. Interest is charged to each fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum.
 
Prior to October 14, 2010, the credit facility agreement, which was a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permitted collective borrowings up to $300 million. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum, in addition to an upfront fee equal to its pro rata share of 0.04% of the amount of the credit facility. The Fund had no borrowings for the six months ended January 31, 2011.
 
Note 10. Fund Mergers
 
At the close of business on September 11, 2009, Columbia Large Core Quantitative Fund acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of RiverSource Large Cap Equity Fund and Seligman Common Stock Fund. The mergers were completed after shareholders of the acquired fund approved the plans on June 2, 2009.
 
The aggregate net assets of Columbia Large Core Quantitative Fund immediately before the acquisitions were $1,879,250,294 and the combined net assets immediately after the acquisitions were $4,385,060,209.
 
The mergers were accomplished by tax-free exchanges of 729,934,986 shares of RiverSource Large Cap Equity Fund valued at $2,406,154,730 and 14,681,342 shares of Seligman Common Stock Fund valued at $99,655,185.

Class R4
    20,178  
Class R5

For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by Columbia Large Core Quantitative Fund were recorded at fair value; however, cost of investments for RiverSource Large Cap Equity Fund and Seligman Common Stock Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Columbia Large Core Quantitative Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
 
The components of net assets after adjustments for any permanent book-to-tax differences at the merger date for RiverSource Large Cap Equity Fund and Seligman Common Stock Fund were as follows:
 
                 
    RiverSource Large
    Seligman Common
 
    Cap Equity Fund     Stock Fund  
Capital stock
  $ 4,210,331,804     $ 191,584,231  
Undistributed (excess of distributions over) net investment income
  $ (735,495 )   $ 1,404  
Accumulated net realized loss
  $ (1,949,209,843 )   $ (88,859,870 )
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
  $ 145,768,264     $ (3,070,580 )
Total net assets
  $ 2,406,154,730     $ 99,655,185  
 
The financial statements reflect the operations of Columbia Large Core Quantitative Fund for the period prior to the mergers and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the mergers. Because the combined investment

56  COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2011 SEMIANNUAL REPORT


Table of Contents

 
 
portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the mergers were completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of RiverSource Large Cap Equity Fund and Seligman Common Stock Fund that have been included in the combined Fund’s Statement of Operations since the mergers were completed. Assuming the mergers had been completed on August 1, 2009, Columbia Large Core Quantitative Fund’s pro-forma net investment income, net loss on investments, and net increase in net assets from operations for the year ended July 31, 2010 would have been $26.1 million, $(108.1) million and $586.7 million, respectively.
 
Note 11. Federal Tax Information
 
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.
 
At January 31, 2011, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was approximately $4,060,703,000 and the approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
 
         
Unrealized appreciation
  $ 653,002,000  
Unrealized depreciation
  $ 113,250,000  
         
Unrealized appreciation/depreciation
  $ 539,752,000  
         
 
The following capital loss carryforward, determined as of July 31, 2010 may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:
 
         
Year of expiration   Amount  
2016
  $ 420,044,596  
2017
    1,377,208,066  
2018
    628,476,902  
         
Total
  $ 2,425,729,564  
         
 
Under current tax rules, certain currency and capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of July 31, 2010, post-October losses of $215,277,618 attributed to security transactions were deferred to January 31, 2011.
 
It is unlikely the Board will authorize a distribution of any net realized capital gains until the available capital loss carryfoward has been offset or expires. There

is no assurance that the Fund will be able to utilize all of its capital loss carryforward before it expires.
 
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Note 12. Subsequent Events
 
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
 
Note 13. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
 
In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company (now known as legacy RiverSource) mutual funds and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District Court). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Eighth Circuit) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court

58  COLUMBIA LARGE CORE QUANTITATIVE FUND — 2011 SEMIANNUAL REPORT


Table of Contents

 
 
vacated the Eighth Circuit’s decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On December 9, 2010, the District Court reinstated its July 9, 2007 summary judgment order in favor of the defendants. On January 10, 2011, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit.
 
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)), entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds’ Boards of Directors/Trustees.
 
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 Funds are 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 Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. 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.
 
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund

shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

In September 2010, in connection with various initiatives to integrate the legacy Columbia Funds and legacy RiverSource Funds, for which Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (Columbia Management) serves as investment manager, the Fund’s Board of Directors (the Board) approved, subject to approval by shareholders, a new investment management services agreement between the Fund and Columbia Management (the IMS Agreement), which will have the effect of increasing the effective management fee rate payable to Columbia Management at certain asset levels and eliminate the performance incentive adjustment. The IMS Agreement was approved by the Fund’s shareholders at a meeting held on February 15, 2011. A discussion regarding the basis for the approval by the Board of the IMS Agreement is set forth under “Proposal 4 — Approve Proposed IMS Agreement — Board Considerations,” in the definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by RiverSource Large Cap Series, Inc., on behalf of the Fund, on December 28, 2010, and is incorporated herein by reference.
