President's Message

Dear Shareholders,
Economic momentum slowed in the third quarter of 2011, raising the odds of recession and making the U.S. economy more susceptible to financial shocks. The unemployment rate remained stalled as growing uncertainty continued to weigh on prospective employers. Monthly indicators for the manufacturing and service sectors also showed signs of slowing. Equity and high-yield bond markets fell sharply as investor confidence was shaken by Europe's lingering debt crisis, a heated debate in Washington over fiscal deficits (which eventually led to a downgrade of U.S. government debt) and tepid economic growth. The U.S. stock market experienced its worst quarter in two years during the third quarter of 2011, with volatility and selling pressure reminiscent of the market selloff in 2008, as macro-economic concerns continued to mount.
During its September meeting, the Federal Reserve Board announced that it was prepared to purchase longer term securities and sell shorter term securities in an effort to keep long-term interest rates down. Their hope is that lower long-term borrowing rates will stimulate business investment and hiring. However, the question remains as to whether monetary policy alone will be enough to resuscitate growth in the current environment.
Despite this challenging and volatile economic backdrop, I believe Columbia Management remains strong and steadfast. Columbia Management is the eighth largest manager of long-term mutual fund assets with $325 billion under management as of September 30, 2011. The past year has been one of considerable change for the organization as we worked diligently to align products, services and resources in the integration of Columbia Management with RiverSource Investments. The incredible line-up of talent, resources and capabilities that has resulted is highlighted by the success of our products. As of September 30, 2011, Columbia Management offers 54 funds rated 4 and 5 stars by Morningstar. Additionally, The Wall Street Journal has named two Columbia funds "Category Kings" in its "Investing in Funds: A Quarterly Analysis" issue dated October 5, 2011 in recognition for their one-year performance as of September 30, 2011.

All ratings are Class Z shares as of 9/30/2011. Out of 118 Z-share Columbia funds rated by Morningstar, 8 funds received a 5-star Overall Rating and 46 funds received a 4-star Overall Rating. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a retail mutual fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. For share classes that do not have a 3-, 5-, or 10-year actual performance history, the fund's independent Morningstar Rating metric is then compared against the retail mutual fund universe breakpoints to determine its hypothetical rating.
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.)
The Morningstar RatingTM is for Class Z shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics and may have different ratings. © 2012 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75% for Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter for Class B shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.
Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the Investment Manager and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectuses for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
The returns shown for the Fund's Class Z shares include the returns of the Fund's Class A shares for periods prior to September 16, 2005, the date on which the Fund's Class Z shares were first offered. The returns shown have been adjusted to reflect the fact that Class Z shares are sold without a sales charge. The returns shown have not been adjusted to reflect any differences in expenses, such as distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees between Class Z and Class A shares of the fund.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following information 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.
Analyzing your fund's expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using the Fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount 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 results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund's actual return) and then applies the Fund's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See the "Compare with other funds" information with details on using the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund's most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from the underlying funds in which the Fund may invest (also referred to as "acquired funds"), including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investments vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds).
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed a portion of fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Class A | | | 4.52 | | |

Taxable-equivalent SEC yields are calculated assuming a federal tax rate of 35.0%. This tax rate does not reflect the phase out of exemptions or the reduction of the otherwise allowable deductions that occur when adjusted gross income exceeds certain levels. Your taxable-equivalent yield may be different depending on your tax bracket.
For the 12-month period that ended November 30, 2011, the fund's Class A shares returned 7.00% without sales charge. The fund outperformed the 6.53% return of its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index, and the 6.01% average return of its peer group, the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Classification. Favorable maturity allocation, issue selection and credit quality positioning helped drive the fund ahead of the index and peer group.
Strong year for municipal bonds, despite weak start
In late 2010, municipal bond issuers faced continued budgetary challenges and uncertainty regarding the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts and Build America Bonds taxable municipal bond program. New issuance surged leading up to year end, but investor demand slowed amid predictions of massive municipal defaults. Selling pressure mounted as many investors decided to take profits, pushing muni bond yields significantly higher early in 2011 and causing municipal bond prices to fall. Yields stabilized, then declined, in the second quarter, as low bond prices and a lack of defaults rekindled investor interest. In July 2011, concern mounted over the European debt crisis and the U.S. government's inability to address its budget deficit. Standard & Poor's downgraded its rating on U.S. Treasuries in August 2011, but investors still flocked to the sector, which offered a safe haven in a time of uncertainty. Municipal bond yields followed Treasury yields lower. Yields declined the most on longer-maturity securities, which benefited from the Federal Reserve Board's announcement that it planned to keep short-term interest rates near zero until 2013 and from the launch of "Operation Twist," a program involving the sale of short-term Treasuries and purchase of longer-term issues. Yields reached a 12-month low in October 2011. Supply remained tight, down more than 30% for the first 11 months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. For the 12-month reporting period, longer-maturity bonds outperformed shorter-maturity issues, and lower-quality (A and BBB rated3) bonds beat higher quality securities.
Gains from overweights in long maturity and lower quality bonds
The fund benefited from having more exposure than the benchmark to 15- to 30-year muni bonds. An overweight in bonds rated A and lower (including BBB securities and non-rated issues), which offered added income potential, further aided performance.
Certain sector allocations also contributed positively to performance: a significant overweight in hospital bonds, which produced some of the strongest returns in the benchmark, and overweights and strong issue selection in escrowed bonds (A bond becomes escrowed when an issuer comes to market with a new—usually lower-rate—bond and invests the proceeds in short-term government securities that are placed into an escrow account for the purpose of paying the original bonds at their maturity.), industrial development revenue and housing sectors. An overweight in electric revenue bond sector also boosted returns. The fund picked up added ground from its non-callable (or non-redeemable) bonds, which were more sensitive to declining interest rates than the non-callable bonds in the benchmark. Although issue

The security's credit quality does not eliminate risk.

Portfolio Manager's Report (continued) – Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund
selection within the state general obligation and transportation sectors was strong relative to the benchmark, the fund's underweight in these sectors detracted from returns. Allocations to higher-quality (AAA and AA) sectors modestly detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, but were partially offset by above-average returns from the fund's investments in these segments.
Expectations for the coming year
Given the extent of the sovereign debt problems in Europe and their impact on other countries, we think U.S. economic growth will remain slow. Muted growth typically means benign inflation—a plus for bondholders. However, uncertainties around the presidential race, potential tax hikes and unemployment continue to weigh on investors. We believe that municipal bonds have the potential to offer reasonable returns in 2012, but with yields currently at low levels, those returns are unlikely to match those of 2011. Because we believe that the Fed is unlikely to raise short term interest rates for quite some time, our expectation is for inflation to stay relatively low. We believe that short-term yields will remain low, while longer intermediate-term yields could fall further. With that in mind, we plan to keep an overweight in longer-intermediate maturity (15- and 25-year) bonds which have slightly more sensitivity to declining interest rates than the benchmark. To balance that strategy, we also will likely maintain an overweight in lower quality bonds (rated A and lower) because these bonds are generally less sensitive to interest-rate shifts, and the added income they offer typically acts as a cushion against rising rates. We plan to maintain an overweight in the hospital sector and look to diversify within the sector by state and issue selection. We will continue to invest prudently, stressing diversification, issue selection, independent credit analysis and maturity allocation consistent with our strategic outlook.
Portfolio characteristics and holdings are subject to change and may not be representative of current characteristics and holdings. The outlook for the fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.
Tax-exempt investing offers current tax-exempt income, but it also involves certain risks. The value of the fund will be affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of issues held in the fund. When interest rates go up, bond prices generally drop and vice versa.
Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.
Investments in high-yield bonds (sometimes referred to as "junk" bonds) offer the potential for high current income and attractive total return but involve certain risks. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may adversely affect a high-yield bond issuer's ability to make principal and interest payments.

Ratings shown in the quality breakdown are assigned to individual bonds by taking the lower of the ratings available from one of the following nationally recognized rating agencies: Standard & Poor's or Moody's Investor Services. If a security is rated by only one of the two agencies, that rating is used. If a security is not rated by either of the two agencies, it is designated as Non-Rated. Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. The credit quality of the fund's investments does not remove market risk.
The fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time. Information provided is calculated as a percentage of net assets.

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.
The Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements are an integral part of this statement.
37
Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund
November 30, 2011
Fair Value Measurements (continued) | |
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 Investment Manager, 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.
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 Investment Manager. 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 November 30, 2011:
| | Fair Value at November 30, 2011 | |

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund
November 30, 2011
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C 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 4.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 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.
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. 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 C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges, and are only available to certain investors, as described in the Fund's prospectus.
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
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
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 contracts are valued based upon the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value,

Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund, November 30, 2011
management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine value.
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 agreement 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 to produce incremental earnings, manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark and manage exposure to movements in interest rates. 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 derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.

Delayed Delivery Securities
The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a "when-issued" basis. This may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund identifies within its Portfolio of Investments cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Inverse Floater Program Transactions
The Fund may enter into transactions in which it transfers to trusts fixed rate municipal bonds in exchange for cash and residual interests in the trusts' assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate securities. The trusts fund the purchases of the municipal bonds by issuing short-term floating rate notes to third parties. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate securities) include the right of the Fund (i) to cause the holders of the short-term floating rate notes to tender their notes at par, and (ii) to transfer the municipal bonds from the trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trusts. Accordingly, the municipal bonds transferred to the trusts, remain in the Fund's investments in securities and the related short-term floating rate notes are reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption "Short-term floating rate notes outstanding" in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The liability approximates the fair value of the short-term notes. The notes issued by the trusts have interest rates that are multi-modal, which means that they can be reset to a new or different mode at the reset date (e.g., mode can be daily, weekly, monthly, or a fixed specific date) at the discretion of the holder of the inverse floating rate security. The floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The income received by the inverse floating rate security holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate note holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floating rate security holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond's value. The inverse floating rate security holder will be subject to greater interest rate risk than if they were to hold the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on both the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond and the short-term interest rate paid on the floating rate notes. The inverse floating rate security holder is also subject to the credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk associated with the underlying bond. The bonds held by the trusts serve as collateral for the short-term floating rate notes outstanding. Contractual maturities and interest rates of the municipal bonds held in trusts at November 30, 2011 are presented in the Portfolio of Investments. Interest and fee expense related to the short-term floating rate notes, which is accrued daily, is presented in the Statement of Operations and corresponds to an equal increase in interest income from the fixed rate municipal bonds held in trust. For the year ended November 30, 2011, the average value of short-term floating rate notes outstanding was $10,652,339 and the average interest rate and fees related to these short-term floating rate notes was 0.75%.
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
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Market premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis, if any.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of
51
Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund, November 30, 2011
the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged 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 for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax exempt or taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, 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.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. 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 Trust's organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting and Standards Board issued ASU No. 2011-04 modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board issued International Financial Reporting Standard 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures.
Specifically, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers, ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of ASU No. 2011-04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement (IMSA), Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. Effective March 1, 2011, the management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.41% to 0.25% as the Fund's net assets increase. Prior to March 1, 2011, the management fee was equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declined from 0.55% to 0.42% as the Fund's net assets increased. The effective management fee rate for the year
52
Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund, November 30, 2011
ended November 30, 2011, was 0.39% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager serves as the Fund Administrator. Effective March 1, 2011, 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 0.07% to 0.04% as the Fund's net assets increase. Prior to March 1, 2011, the Investment Manager did not receive a fee for its services under the Administration Services Agreement. The effective administration fee rate for the year ended November 30, 2011, was 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
Prior to May 16, 2011, the Fund had entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the Financial Reporting Services Agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) and the Investment Manager pursuant to which State Street provided financial reporting services to the Fund. The Fund also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the State Street Agreements) with State Street and the Investment Manager pursuant to which State Street provided accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund paid State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Fund for the month. The aggregate fee did not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Fund also reimbursed State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges. Effective May 16, 2011, these services are now provided under the Administrative Services Agreement discussed above.
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Trust's eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) which may be terminated at any time. Obligation of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer. The Fund's expenses for the Chief Compliance Officer will not exceed $15,000 per year.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. 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 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 pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of -pocket expenses.
For the year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund's annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | | | 0.10 | % | |
Class B | | | 0.11 | | |
Class C | | | 0.11 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.11 | | |
53
Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund, November 30, 2011
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), the former transfer agent, including the payment of rent by SDC (the Guaranty). The lease and the Guaranty expire in January 2019. At November 30, 2011, the Fund's total potential future obligation over the life of the Guaranty is $816,353. The liability remaining at November 30, 2011 for non-recurring charges associated with the lease amounted to $540,414 and is included within other accrued expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. SDC is owned by six associated investment companies, including the Fund.
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended November 30, 2011, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $8,004.
Distribution and Service Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) which set the distribution and service fees for the Fund. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors.
The Plans require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Fund. The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares only.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the distribution fee for Class C shares so that the combined distribution and service fee does not exceed 0.80% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. This arrangement may be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $1,010,865 for Class A, $5,332 for Class B and $6,965 for Class C shares for the year ended November 30, 2011.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
Effective March 1, 2011, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below as well as any reorganization costs allocated to the Fund), through March 31, 2012, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:
Class A | | | 0.76 | % | |
Class B | | | 1.51 | | |
Class C | | | 1.51 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.56 | | |
Under the agreement, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties. Reorganization
54
Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund, November 30, 2011
(see Note 13) costs were allocated to the Fund only to the extent they are expected to be offset by the anticipated reduction in expenses borne by the Fund's shareholders during the first year following the Reorganization.
Prior to March 1, 2011, the Investment Manager voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund's expenses (excluding certain expenses, such as distribution and services fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any) so that the Fund's ordinary net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund's custodian, did not exceed 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets on an annualized basis.
Note 4. 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 because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
For the year ended November 30, 2011, these differences are primarily due to differing treatments for futures and options contracts, market discount/premium, paydown reclassifications, post-October losses, capital loss carryforwards, non-deductible deferred trustees fees, current year income distributions payable, market discount reclassifications and non-deductible merger costs. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made among the components of the Fund's net assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications. In the Statement of Assets and Liabilities the following reclassifications were made:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | $ | 43,334 | | |
Accumulated net Realized Gain/Loss | | | 373,053 | | |
Paid-In Capital | | | (416,387 | ) | |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:
Year ended November 30, | | 2011 | | 2010 | |
Ordinary Income* | | $ | 180,887 | | | $ | 877,056 | | |
Tax-Exempt Income | | | 145,282,309 | | | | 98,646,693 | | |
* Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.
At November 30, 2011, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | | $ | 19,891,771 | | |
Unrealized Appreciation* | | | 249,411,366 | | |
* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation are primarily due to market discount reclassifications.
At November 30, 2011, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $4,258,460,965 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 322,981,403 | | |
Unrealized Depreciation | | $ | (73,570,037 | ) | |
Net Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 249,411,366 | | |
The following capital loss carryforward, determined at November 30, 2011, 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 | |
2015 | | $ | 13,239,272 | | |
2016 | | | 57,869,171 | | |
2017 | | | 1,455,576 | | |
2018 | | | 6,621,391 | | |
2019 | | | 14,381,427 | | |
Total | | $ | 93,566,837 | | |
55
Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund, November 30, 2011
Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund acquired $77,729,834 of capital loss carryforward in connection with the RiverSource Tax-Exempt High Income Fund merger (Note 10). The yearly utilization of the acquired capital loss carryforward may be limited by the Internal Revenue Code.
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 November 30, 2011, post-October capital losses of $333,837 attributed to security transactions were deferred to December 1, 2011.
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused.
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). Generally, the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio Information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $331,562,924 and $535,872,903 respectively, for the year ended November 30, 2011.
Note 6. Regulatory Settlements
During the year ended November 30, 2010, the Fund received payments of $19,753 resulting from certain regulatory settlements with third parties in which the Fund had participated. The payments have been included in "Proceeds from regulatory settlements" in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
Note 7. Lending of Portfolio Securities
Effective May 16, 2011, the Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan). The Agreement, which replaces the previous security lending arrangement with State Street, 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 requested to be 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.
For the year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund did not participate in securities lending activity.
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
56
Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund, November 30, 2011
paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses.
Prior to May 16, 2011, the Fund participated in a securities lending arrangement with State Street. Each security on loan was collateralized in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued income from the investment of collateral. The income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any fees remitted to State Street as the lending agent and borrower rebates, was paid to the Fund.
Note 8. Custody Credits
Prior to May 16, 2011, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if they had not entered into such an agreement. For the period December 1, 2010 through May 15, 2011, these credits reduced total expenses by $90.
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 May 16, 2011, 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 $500 million.
Interest is charged to each participating 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.
For the period March 28, 2011 through May 15, 2011, the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager participated in a $225 million committed, unsecured revolving credit facility provided by State Street. Prior to March 28, 2011, the collective borrowing amount of the credit facility was $280 million. Interest was charged to each fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the greater of the (i) federal funds rate plus 1.25% per annum or (ii) the overnight LIBOR rate plus 1.25% per annum. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.125% per annum.
Effective December 13, 2011, the Fund extended its revolving credit facility with the Administrative Agent. The credit facility agreement, as amended, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Effective December 13, 2011, interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (i) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. 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 0.08% per annum.
For the year ended November 30, 2011, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days when borrowing existed was $3,600,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.48%.
For the year ended November 30, 2011, the Investment Manager reimbursed the Fund $148 of interest expense.
Note 10. Fund Merger
At the close of business on June 3, 2011, the Fund acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of Seligman National Municipal Fund, a series of Seligman Municipal Fund Series, Inc., and RiverSource Tax-Exempt High Income Fund, a series of RiverSource Tax-Exempt Income Series, Inc. The reorganization was completed after shareholders approved the plan on February 15, 2011. The purpose of the transaction was to combine three funds managed by the Investment Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies.
The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisitions were $1,964,927,197 and the combined net assets immediately after the acquisitions were $4,525,485,728.
The merger was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 71,691,627 shares of Seligman National Municipal Fund valued at $549,162,443 (including $15,000,986 of unrealized
57
Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund, November 30, 2011
appreciation ), and 480,872,682 shares of RiverSource Tax-Exempt High Income Fund valued at $2,011,396,088 (including $65,088,726 of unrealized appreciation).
In exchange for shares of Seligman National Municipal Fund and RiverSource Tax-Exempt High Income Fund, the Fund issued the following number of shares:
| | Seligman National Municipal Fund | | RiverSource Tax-Exempt High Income Fund | |
Class A | | | 39,704,790 | | | | 150,418,717 | | |
Class B | | | N/A | | | | 1,348,328 | | |
Class C | | | 2,130,946 | | | | 1,321,135 | | |
For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, Seligman National Municipal Fund and RiverSource Tax-Exempt High Income Fund's cost of investments was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The financial statements reflect the operations of the Fund for the period prior to the merger and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the merger. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the merger was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Seligman National Municipal Fund and RiverSource Tax-Exempt High Income Fund that have been included in the combined Fund's Statement of Operations since the merger was completed.
Assuming the merger had been completed on December 1, 2010 the Fund 's pro-forma net investment income (loss), net gain (loss) on investments, net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and net increase in net assets from operations for the year ended November 30, 2011 would have been approximately $206.3 million, $(18.1) million, $89.5 million and $277.7 million, respectively.
Note 11. Significant Risks
Sector Focus Risk
The Fund may focus its investments in certain sectors, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that is less focused.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Because state-specific tax-exempt funds invest primarily in the municipal securities issued by the state and political sub-divisions of the state, the Fund will be particularly affected by political and economic conditions and developments in the state in which it invests. The Fund may, therefore, have a greater risk than that of a municipal bond fund which is more geographically diversified. The value of the municipal securities owned by the Fund also may be adversely affected by future changes in federal or state income tax laws.
High Yield Securities Risk
Investing in high-yield fixed income securities may involve greater credit risk and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. Government bonds and other higher quality fixed income securities. These securities are non-investment grade securities, often referred to as "junk" bonds. Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high-yield securities may be less liquid to the extent that there is no established secondary market.
Tax Development Risk
The Fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that the issuers do not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from such issuers' securities could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the securities were issued. As a shareholder of the Fund, you may be required to file an amended tax return as a result and pay any federal income tax on the interest earned from such securities in your in your Fund account.

Note 12. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted in Note 9 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 13. Shareholder Concentration
At November 30, 2011, one shareholder account owned 10.24% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity of this account may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 14. 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 mutual funds (branded as Columbia) 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 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 response to the plaintiffs' opening appellate brief filed on March 18, 2011, the defendants filed a response brief on May 4, 2011 with the Eighth Circuit. The plaintiffs filed a reply brief on May 26, 2011, and oral arguments took place on November 17, 2011.
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 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 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,
59
Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund, November 30, 2011
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund") (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at November 30, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The registrant’s Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide audit and non-audit services to the registrant and non-audit services to its investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with such investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant (“Adviser Affiliates”), if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.
The Audit Committee has adopted a Policy for Engagement of Independent Accountants for Audit and Non-Audit Services (“Policy”). The Policy sets forth the understanding of the Audit Committee regarding the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide (i) audit and permissible audit-related, tax and other services to the registrant (collectively “Fund Services”); (ii) non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates, if the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of a Fund (collectively “Fund-related Adviser Services”); and (iii) certain other audit and non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates. As set forth in this Fund Policy, a service will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditor; provided, however, that pre-approval of
non-audit services to the Fund, the Adviser or Control Affiliates may be waived if certain de minimis requirements set forth in the SEC’s rules are met.
Under the Policy, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to any pre-designated member or members who are Independent Trustees/Directors. The member(s) to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities with respect to the pre-approval of services performed by the independent accountants may not be delegated to management.
On an annual basis, at a regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, the Fund’s Treasurer or other Fund Officer shall submit to the Audit Committee a schedule of the types of Fund Services and Fund-related Adviser Services that are subject to specific pre-approval.
This schedule will provide a description of each type of service that is subject to specific pre-approval, along with total projected fees for each service. The pre-approval will generally cover a one-year period. The Audit Committee will review and approve the types of services and the projected fees for the next one-year period and may add to, or subtract from, the list of pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. This specific approval acknowledges that the Audit Committee is in agreement with the types of services that the independent accountants will be permitted to perform.
The Fund’s Treasurer or other Fund Officer shall report to the Audit Committee at each of its regular meetings regarding all Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services initiated since the last such report was rendered, including a general description of the services with forecasted fees for the annual period, proposed changes requiring specific pre-approval and a description of services provided by the independent auditor with actual fees during the current reporting period.

(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010 are approximately as follows:
2011 | | 2010 | |
$ | 509,100 | | $ | 1,061,200 | |
| | | | | |
(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
