        <footnote id="F1">This Form 4/A restates Table II of the original Form 4 in its entirety.  The original Form 4 erroneously listed three employee stock option grants that were unrelated to the Issuer.  As a result, the date of the earliest transaction reported is October 3, 2005.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The reported employee stock option, granted under the Ameriprise Financial 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan, will become exercisable in four equal installments on October 3, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.</footnote>
