Item 8.01               Other Events.

 

On May 15, 2006, a NADS panel issued a decision in a securities industry arbitration proceeding captioned Wayland Adams et al vs. David McFadden and Securities American, Inc.  Securities America, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc.  The arbitrators ruled against Securities America, Inc., and awarded the plaintiffs approximately $19.6 million.

Securities America disagrees with the arbitration panel’s decision and intends to file a motion to vacate the award.

If the award is sustained, we believe its impact, net of applicable reserves, would not be material to Ameriprise Financial’s earnings.
