Dear Shareholders,
Continued Economic Recovery
The U.S. economy continued to recover at a slow but steady pace during the first quarter of 2014, supported by solid manufacturing activity, reasonable job growth and continued gains for the housing market. Industrial production was robust, buoyed by strong demand for autos and related parts. After a disappointing January, job growth picked up, which helped boost consumer confidence. Housing data was somewhat mixed, as harsh weather and higher mortgage rates put a damper on sales, while lower inventories helped prices trend higher. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) announced further reductions to its monthly asset purchases and reassured the markets that it would not make any significant changes to monetary policy until it was satisfied that the labor market was on solid ground. Despite mostly good news on the economic front, the broad financial markets recorded only modest gains, as bitter winter weather at home and mounting tensions between Russia and Western allies prompted investor caution.
Investors braced for higher interest rates, but long-term yields declined and the fixed-income markets were surprisingly resilient in the face of stable-to-improving economic data. Risk-on trading continued during the quarter as the higher yielding sectors of the fixed-income markets generally fared well. Emerging-market bonds, long-term U.S. Treasuries and sovereign debt were among the strongest performers, as were Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. Municipal bonds delivered solid gains, especially high-yield municipals, which benefited from continued improvement in state finances.
Against this backdrop, the broad bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, edged out the broad stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, with gains of 1.84% vs. 1.81%, respectively. As indicated late last year, the Fed began tapering its monthly asset purchase program and announced further reductions. New Fed chair Janet Yellen reassured investors the Fed was committed to keeping short-term borrowing rates low into 2015.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month period that ended April 30, 2014, the Fund's Class A shares returned 22.95% excluding sales charges. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, which returned 19.61% for the same time period. Security selection that focused on reasonably priced small-cap companies with good earnings growth prospects, solid balance sheets and strong cash flows drove the Fund's performance advantage over its benchmark.
Stocks Climbed Amid Largely Favorable Market Environment
U.S. stocks set new records over the 12 months ended April 30, 2014, supported by evidence of economic recovery that included continued job gains, a pickup in manufacturing and an improving housing market. Stocks pushed past declines last spring when the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) appeared ready to taper its bond buying, last fall during the budget stalemate and government shutdown in Washington and over the winter as harsh weather hit the country. Stocks rebooted each time, first when the Fed's tapering plans were pushed out, later when Congress reached a bipartisan budget agreement and then in February when new Fed chair Janet Yellen indicated that monetary policy was still tied to the economy's progress. Although unrest in the Ukraine and the potential for first-quarter earnings shortfalls kept a lid on returns late in the period, stocks across all market capitalization ranges finished the year with strong gains. Within the Russell 2000 Value Index, the energy, health care, industrials and information technology sectors did especially well, each returning 25% or more.
Higher-Quality Stocks Moved Back Into Favor
The Fund's higher quality bias benefited performance, as the prospect of Fed tapering caused investors to shift away from lower quality issues. A value tilt also helped, as worries over rising interest rates led investors to sell high-priced growth stocks late in the period. Stock selection in the financial services sector (which averaged approximately 35% of assets during the period) was particularly strong. We favored segments that we believed were poised to benefit from improved economic growth and higher interest rates, including banks and insurance companies. Top individual contributors included Glacier Bancorp, a bank holding company with excess capital, whose stock rallied sharply as the company grew its franchise in the Rocky Mountain region, funded strategic acquisitions and generated a high dividend yield. Underweights in the weaker-performing real estate investment trust and business development corporation segments also contributed to the Fund's strong results.
Outperformance from Multiple Sectors
Security selection in materials, health care, industrials and telecommunications services drove most of the rest of the Fund's outperformance. Standouts included U.S. Silica Holdings, a materials company that supplies crush-resistant quartz (or "frac") sand used in oil and gas wells. The company benefited from increased demand for its product. In health care, shares of biopharmaceutical company Questcor Pharmaceuticals rallied, as an attractive valuation and growing sales of its anti-inflammatory drug Acthar drove the stock sharply higher. We took profits and sold U.S. Silica and Questcor before period-end. In industrials, the Fund benefited as its focus on solid businesses providing essential services led to an overweight in the strong-performing aerospace and defense segment. Elsewhere,

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
top contributors included Gentherm, a consumer discretionary company that develops and markets thermal technologies for heating and cooling systems. Its share price rose, thanks to more automakers adopting its climate control systems for car seats, a strategic acquisition, and expansion into new markets, including mattresses. Shares of diversified oil-and-gas company Stone Energy also climbed, buoyed by successful deep-water explorations, growing reserves and solid earnings growth.
Relative Disappointment in Information Technology
Stock picks in information technology generated a strong return, but trailed the sector's return in the benchmark. Detractors here included Conversant (formerly ValueClick), an advertising software company whose move to mobile has been bumpy, causing it to lose favor with retail customers. Other individual disappointments were scattered. They included independent exploration-and-production company Forest Oil, whose return was hampered by poor rock quality in a target drilling area; home goods retailer Pier 1 Imports, which saw the tough winter pressure sales; and mining and agricultural tire manufacturer Titan International, whose share price fell as declining commodity prices slowed demand. Conversant and Forest Oil were sold from the portfolio by the end of the reporting period.
Looking Ahead
Barring geopolitical shocks, we believe the U.S. economy seems likely to continue expanding at a slow and steady pace. Going forward, we expect stock selection to be a key component of performance, particularly because there is so little valuation differential between sectors at present. We intend to remain focused on higher quality small-cap stocks with stable or positive earnings growth and attractive or reasonable valuations that we think can perform well over a full economic cycle.

Investment Risks
Risks include general stock market fluctuations due to business and economic developments. Investments in small-cap companies may be subject to greater volatility and price fluctuations because they may be thinly traded and less liquid. Value stocks may also be subject to specific business risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor. See the Fund's prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Understanding Your Fund's Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, 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/or service 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 help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing Your Fund's Expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical 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 "Compare With Other Funds" below for details on how to use 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 be 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 investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds).

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 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 may 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.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2014
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I (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, Class I, Class R, Class R4, Class R5, Class Y and Class Z shares. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. 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 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 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 generally available only to certain retirement plans and other eligible investors.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain other eligible investors.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to certain eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums.
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 equity 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 ask prices on such exchanges or markets.
Foreign equity securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. 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 of Trustees (the Board), including
Annual Report 2014
29
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
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 or market, 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 open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
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, 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 fair value.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations
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 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.
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 generally 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.
The Fund may receive distributions from holdings in business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information on the character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on estimates made by the Fund's management if actual information has not yet been reported. Return of capital is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as a realized gain. Management's estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the BDCs, ETFs and REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
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 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, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value 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 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
Annual Report 2014
30
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
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, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable. The amount, if any, is disclosed as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed along with the income distribution. 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.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, 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. The investment management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.79% to 0.70% as the Fund's net assets increase. The effective investment management fee rate for the year ended
April 30, 2014 was 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager also serves as the Fund Administrator. 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 0.08% to 0.05% as the Fund's net assets increase. The effective administration fee rate for the year ended April 30, 2014 was 0.08% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
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. Obligations 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 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 also receives sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund's shares maintained in omnibus accounts (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 fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class R5
Annual Report 2014
31
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R5 shares. Class I and Class Y shares are not subject to transfer agent fees.
For the year ended April 30, 2014, the Fund's effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | | | 0.20 | % | |
Class B | | | 0.20 | | |
Class C | | | 0.20 | | |
Class R | | | 0.20 | | |
Class R4 | | | 0.20 | | |
Class R5 | | | 0.05 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.20 | | |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class'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 April 30, 2014, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $6,462.
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. The Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, 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.
Under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.75%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.
Sales Charges

This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties.
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.
At April 30, 2014, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sales losses, Trustees' deferred compensation, distribution reclassifications, foreign currency transactions, passive

foreign investment company (PFIC) holdings, re-characterization of distributions for investments and earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares. 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:
Excess of distributions over net investment income | | $ | 1,806,318 | | |
Accumulated net realized gain | | | (32,709,948 | ) | |
Paid-in capital | | | 30,903,630 | | |
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 April 30, | | 2014 | | 2013 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 61,111,159 | | | $ | 11,885,761 | | |
Long-term capital gains | | | 138,613,369 | | | | 55,638,622 | | |
Total | | $ | 199,724,528 | | | $ | 67,524,383 | | |
Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.
At April 30, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 10,173,249 | | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | | 103,338,967 | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 368,971,096 | | |
At April 30, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $983,842,303 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 383,480,709 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (14,509,613 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 368,971,096 | | |
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 $551,264,015 and $1,041,773,158, respectively, for the year ended April 30, 2014.
Note 6. Affiliated Money Market Fund
The Fund invests its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated 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 included as "Dividends — affiliated issuers" 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 April 30, 2014, two unaffiliated shareholders of record owned 35.5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the fund.
Note 8. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, 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 higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) 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. Effective December 10, 2013, the Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.075% per annum. Prior to December 10, 2013, the commitment fee was charged at the annual rate of 0.08% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
For the year ended April 30, 2014, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days when borrowing existed was $14,400,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.20%. Interest expense incurred by the Fund is recorded as line of credit interest expense in the Statement of Operations.

Note 9. Significant Risks
Financial Sector Risk
Sector risk occurs when a fund invests a significant portion of its assets in securities of companies conducting business in a related group of industries within an economic sector. Companies in the same economic sector may be similarly affected by economic, regulatory, political or market events or conditions, making a fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly. The Fund may be more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the financial sector than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors.
Note 10. 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 11. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
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, 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.

To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, 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 Small Cap Value Fund I (the "Fund", a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at April 30, 2014, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets 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 April 30, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Dear Shareholders,
Continued Economic Recovery
The U.S. economy continued to recover at a slow but steady pace during the first quarter of 2014, supported by solid manufacturing activity, reasonable job growth and continued gains for the housing market. Industrial production was robust, buoyed by strong demand for autos and related parts. After a disappointing January, job growth picked up, which helped boost consumer confidence. Housing data was somewhat mixed, as harsh weather and higher mortgage rates put a damper on sales, while lower inventories helped prices trend higher. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) announced further reductions to its monthly asset purchases and reassured the markets that it would not make any significant changes to monetary policy until it was satisfied that the labor market was on solid ground. Despite mostly good news on the economic front, the broad financial markets recorded only modest gains, as bitter winter weather at home and mounting tensions between Russia and Western allies prompted investor caution.
Investors braced for higher interest rates, but long-term yields declined and the fixed-income markets were surprisingly resilient in the face of stable-to-improving economic data. Risk-on trading continued during the quarter as the higher yielding sectors of the fixed-income markets generally fared well. Emerging-market bonds, long-term U.S. Treasuries and sovereign debt were among the strongest performers, as were Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. Municipal bonds delivered solid gains, especially high-yield municipals, which benefited from continued improvement in state finances.
Against this backdrop, the broad bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, edged out the broad stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, with gains of 1.84% vs. 1.81%, respectively. As indicated late last year, the Fed began tapering its monthly asset purchase program and announced further reductions. New Fed chair Janet Yellen reassured investors the Fed was committed to keeping short-term borrowing rates low into 2015.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month period that ended April 30, 2014, the Fund's Class A shares returned 1.60% excluding sales charges. During the same 12-month period, the Fund underperformed its Blended Benchmark, which returned 1.64%, and outperformed the Barclays U.S. Corporate Index, which returned 0.84%. The Fund benefited from security selection and exposure to corporate spreads (securities that offered yields higher than U.S. Treasuries), which partially offset the price impact of rising interest rates.
Stable Economic Growth
Early in the period, economic data indicated a pickup in growth and included a strong positive surprise in the April 2013 employment numbers. These developments prompted then Federal Reserve (Fed) chief Ben Bernanke to signal a potential end to its monthly bond-buying program, known as quantitative easing. Interest rates rose sharply in response, sending bond prices lower. The most credit-sensitive sectors of the fixed-income markets outperformed in the second half of the calendar year, supported by continuing evidence of steady economic growth and a revival in risk appetite among investors. Early in 2014, geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine and weakness in the U.S. economy resulting from severe winter weather drove investors to seek shelter in the U.S. Treasury market. Against this backdrop, higher quality, longer duration non-Treasury securities led performance. At the end of April 2014, the yield on the 10-year Treasury sat almost a full percentage point higher than at the beginning of the 12-month period and the yield premium offered on non-Treasury sectors was at its lowest since the 2008 financial crisis.
Contributors and Detractors
Having anticipated the probability of the above mentioned rate volatility, we entered the period with the Fund positioned with shorter duration than the benchmark. Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity. This position benefited relative returns during 2013 but detracted modestly from results as interest rates rallied in the first four months of 2014.
We maintained a preference for asset-rich companies with the ability to generate strong cash flow, which translated into overweights in the industrial and utility sectors. Security selection within pipelines, utilities, and media/telecom companies contributed most significantly to Fund results.
We reduced the Fund's exposure to below investment grade securities, as we chose to sacrifice a moderate amount of yield in exchange for increased net asset value stability in the wake of persistent high yield spread compression. High-yield exposure accounted for approximately 15% of net assets when the period began, but had been reduced to just below 10% by April of 2014. In addition, the Fund's overweight to six- to nine-year maturities contributed to results as credit spreads tightened and the yield curve steepened.
The Fund uses highly-liquid, widely-traded Treasury futures contracts to help manage portfolio duration and yield curve exposure. This strategy lowered the Fund's duration vs. that of the benchmark, which positively impacted relative performance as interest rates rose sharply over the period.
Looking Ahead
It is worth noting that interest rates have never been so low for so long, making it especially difficult to predict how the market will react when short-term rates

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
make their inevitable move higher. Complacency on the part of fixed-income investors may translate into additional volatility should rates continue to rise, although the timing of such an event remains to be seen. We believe that steadfastly maintaining a longer term perspective enables us to see the asymmetric risk/reward tradeoff from extending duration or reaching for yield. As such, we currently have no plans to make immediate changes to the Fund's conservative duration positioning, even if it results in short-term give-ups in relative performance. We believe working with our partners in credit research will help us to identify opportunities with which to build a diversified portfolio designed to perform well across a myriad of market outcomes.
Investment Risks
There are risks associated with an investment in this Fund, including credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk and prepayment and extension risk. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is more pronounced for longer-term securities. Noninvestment grade securities, commonly called "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, have more volatile prices and carry more risk to principal and income than investment grade securities. See the Fund's prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Understanding Your Fund's Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, 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/or service 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 help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing Your Fund's Expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical 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 "Compare With Other Funds" below for details on how to use 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 be 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 investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds).
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

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 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 may 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.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments at April 30, 2014:

The Fund's assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security's value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets.
There were no transfers of financial assets between levels during the period.
Derivative instruments are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
The Fund does not hold any significant investments with unobservable inputs which are categorized as Level 3.
The Fund's assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances.
Certain corporate bonds classified as Level 3 are valued using an income approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered estimates of future distributions from the liquidation of company assets or potential actions related to the respective company's bankruptcy filing. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the bankruptcy filings would result in a directionally similar change to estimates of future distributions.
Certain senior loans classified as Level 3 securities are valued using the market approach and utilize single market quotations from broker dealers which may have included, but not limited to, the distressed nature of the security and observable transactions for similar assets in the market. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Columbia Corporate Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2014
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Corporate Income 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, Class I, Class R4, Class R5, Class W, Class Y and Class Z shares. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. 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 I shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain other eligible investors.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
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 Y shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to certain eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums.
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.
All equity 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 ask prices on such exchanges or markets.
Asset and mortgage-backed securities are generally valued by pricing services, which utilize pricing models that incorporate the securities' cash flow and loan performance data. These models also take into account available market data, including
Annual Report 2014
39
Columbia Corporate Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
trades, market quotations, and benchmark yield curves for identical or similar securities. Factors used to identify similar securities may include, but are not limited to, issuer, collateral type, vintage, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, credit ratings, credit enhancement and expected life. Asset-backed securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Investments in open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
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, 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 fair 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 (making it difficult for the Fund to sell, including at favorable prices) 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 notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in
the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Fund's risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the counterparty credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker's customer account. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker's customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the exchange or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the
Annual Report 2014

Columbia Corporate Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $500,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to over-the-counter derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund's net assets decline by a stated percentage over a specified time period or the Fund fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivative contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts are exchange traded and 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 manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark and manage exposure to movements in interest rates. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it 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. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the
Portfolio of Investments. 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; and the impact of derivative transactions over the period in the Statement of Operations 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.
The following table is a summary of the fair value of derivative instruments at April 30, 2014:

*Based on ending quarterly outstanding amounts for the year ending April 30, 2014.
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 risk since the other party to the transaction may fail to deliver which could cause the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Investments in Loans
The Fund may invest in loan participations and assignments of all or a portion of a loan. When the Fund purchases a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participations (Selling Participant), but not the borrower, and assumes the credit risk of the borrower, Selling Participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower. In addition, the Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the loan that it has purchased from the Selling Participant. In contrast, when the Fund purchases an assignment of a loan, the Fund typically has direct rights against the borrower; provided, however, that the Fund's rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce their rights only through an administrative agent. Although certain loan participations or assignments are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing such collateral or have their interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligor. In the event that the administrator or collateral agent of a loan becomes insolvent, enters into receivership or bankruptcy, the Fund may incur costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest. The risk of loss is greater for unsecured or subordinated loans. In addition, loan participations and assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for loan participations and assignments and certain loan participations and assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid.
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 an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. The Fund classifies gains and losses realized on prepayments received on mortgage-backed securities as adjustments to interest income.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The value of additional securities received as an income payment is recorded as income and increases the cost basis of such securities.
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 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, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value 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 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.

Columbia Corporate Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
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, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable. The amount, if any, is disclosed as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, 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.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, 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. The investment management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.43% to 0.30% as the Fund's net assets increase. The effective investment management fee rate for the year ended April 30, 2014 was 0.43% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager also serves as the Fund Administrator. 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. The effective administration fee rate for the year ended April 30, 2014 was 0.07% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
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. Obligations 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 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 also receives sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund's shares maintained in omnibus accounts (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 fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R5 shares. Class I and Class Y shares are not subject to transfer agent fees.
Annual Report 2014
43
Columbia Corporate Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
For the year ended April 30, 2014, the Fund's effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | | | 0.19 | % | |
Class B | | | 0.19 | | |
Class C | | | 0.19 | | |
Class R4 | | | 0.20 | | |
Class R5 | | | 0.05 | | |
Class W | | | 0.19 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.19 | | |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class'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 April 30, 2014, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $2,217.
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. The Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, 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.
Under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class W shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.75%, 0.75% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B, Class C and Class W shares, respectively.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the distribution fee for Class C shares so that the distribution fee does not exceed 0.60% 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.
Although the Fund may pay a distribution fee up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares and a service fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares, the aggregate
fee shall not exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $136,295 for Class A, $916 for Class B and $4,582 for Class C shares for the year ended April 30, 2014.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
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) for the period disclosed below, 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:
| | Fee Rates Contractual through August 31, 2014 | |
Class A | | | 0.96 | % | |

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.
At April 30, 2014, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for principal and/or interest of fixed income securities, deferral/reversal of wash sales losses, Trustees' deferred compensation, distribution reclassifications, post-October capital losses, derivative investments and tax straddles. 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:
Excess of distributions over net investment income | | $ | (15,562 | ) | |
Accumulated net realized loss | | | 15,562 | | |
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 April 30, | | 2014 | | 2013 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 55,554,846 | | | $ | 69,520,539 | �� | |
Long-term capital gains | | | 34,421,736 | | | | 9,734,696 | | |
Total | | $ | 89,976,582 | | | $ | 79,255,235 | | |
Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.
At April 30, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 3,487,304 | | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | | 3,429 | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 27,941,366 | | |
At April 30, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,366,405,412 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 39,002,769 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (11,061,403 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation/depreciation | | $ | 27,941,366 | | |
Under current tax rules, regulated investment companies can elect to treat certain late-year ordinary losses incurred and post-October capital losses (capital losses realized after October 31) as arising on the first day of the following taxable
year. As of April 30, 2014, the Fund will elect to treat post-October capital losses of $5,672,670 as arising on May 1, 2014.
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 $1,407,560,889 and $1,430,664,043, respectively, for the year ended April 30, 2014, of which $234,898,369 and $197,959,776, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
Note 6. Affiliated Money Market Fund
The Fund invests its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated 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 included as "Dividends — affiliated issuers" 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 April 30, 2014, one unaffiliated shareholder of record owned 17.0% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Affiliated shareholders of record owned 65.2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, 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
Annual Report 2014

Columbia Corporate Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) 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. Effective December 10, 2013, the Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.075% per annum. Prior to December 10, 2013, the commitment fee was charged at the annual rate of 0.08% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended April 30, 2014.
Note 9. 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 10. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
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, 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 Corporate Income Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, 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 Corporate Income Fund (the "Fund", a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at April 30, 2014, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets 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 April 30, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, agent banks, and transfer agent, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where such confirmations had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report
April 30, 2014

Not FDIC insured • No bank guarantee • May lose value
Dear Shareholders,
Continued Economic Recovery
The U.S. economy continued to recover at a slow but steady pace during the first quarter of 2014, supported by solid manufacturing activity, reasonable job growth and continued gains for the housing market. Industrial production was robust, buoyed by strong demand for autos and related parts. After a disappointing January, job growth picked up, which helped boost consumer confidence. Housing data was somewhat mixed, as harsh weather and higher mortgage rates put a damper on sales, while lower inventories helped prices trend higher. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) announced further reductions to its monthly asset purchases and reassured the markets that it would not make any significant changes to monetary policy until it was satisfied that the labor market was on solid ground. Despite mostly good news on the economic front, the broad financial markets recorded only modest gains, as bitter winter weather at home and mounting tensions between Russia and Western allies prompted investor caution.
Investors braced for higher interest rates, but long-term yields declined and the fixed-income markets were surprisingly resilient in the face of stable-to-improving economic data. Risk-on trading continued during the quarter as the higher yielding sectors of the fixed-income markets generally fared well. Emerging-market bonds, long-term U.S. Treasuries and sovereign debt were among the strongest performers, as were Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. Municipal bonds delivered solid gains, especially high-yield municipals, which benefited from continued improvement in state finances.
Against this backdrop, the broad bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, edged out the broad stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, with gains of 1.84% vs. 1.81%, respectively. As indicated late last year, the Fed began tapering its monthly asset purchase program and announced further reductions. New Fed chair Janet Yellen reassured investors the Fed was committed to keeping short-term borrowing rates low into 2015.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month period that ended April 30, 2014, the Fund's Class A shares returned -1.42% excluding sales charges. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -0.26% for the same period. An overweight in 10-year bonds and the Fund's position in mortgage securities detracted from results during the period.
Stable Economic Growth
Even though a difficult winter weighed on the U.S. economy early in 2014, it was not enough to derail the steady, growth that marked the 12-month period. Solid new job growth drove the unemployment rate down to 6.3%. Robust manufacturing activity boosted the nation's capacity utilization rate to a recovery high of 79.2%. Personal income edged higher, borrowing increased and the savings rate declined. Consumer confidence generally rose during the 12-month period, reflecting consumer expectations that the economy was on solid ground. The housing market lost some momentum, the victim of bad winter weather, tighter borrowing standards, rising prices and higher mortgage rates. However, higher pending home sales near the end of the period was a positive data point.
Early in the period, then-Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke rattled the fixed-income markets when he indicated that the Fed was preparing to taper its monthly bond purchases, their longstanding program known as quantitative easing. The bond market declined sharply following Bernanke's announcement, and long-term interest rates rose. Once Fed tapering commenced in January 2014, longer-term interest rates declined over the last four months of the period. However, short-term rates remained at historically low levels. In this environment, returns from many fixed-income sectors were low to slightly negative.
Contributors and Detractors
The Fund's performance relative to the benchmark was aided by its positions in corporate bonds. An overweight in financials aided results as did an emphasis on preferred securities within the sector. The Fund also maintained a relatively short duration, which helped reduce risk as interest rates rose. Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity. However, an overweight in 10-year bonds detracted from results, because it was especially hard hit when rates rose in the spring of 2013. The Fund's position in mortgage securities also detracted from relative return. The Fund had emphasized securitized pools in which the underlying mortgages carried small balances, thus reducing overall prepayment risk. These securities had performed well for the Fund as interest rates declined, but the value of prepayment protection evaporated when rates reversed course in 2013 and these mortgage securities underperformed.
During the period, we added to positions in Small Business Administration (SBA) securities, which are guaranteed by the U.S. government, and RefCorp securities, which are not explicitly guaranteed but nonetheless receive government backing. Together these positions accounted for approximately 4% of the portfolio's net assets. The Fund also bolstered its credit quality during the course of the year, a reflection of the decline in the yield advantage enjoyed by the riskier sectors of the market.

Investment Risks
There are risks associated with an investment in this Fund, including credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk and prepayment and extension risk. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is more pronounced for longer-term securities. Noninvestment grade securities, commonly called "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, have more volatile prices and carry more risk to principal and income than investment grade securities. Investing in derivatives is a specialized activity that involves special risks, which may result in significant losses. See the Fund's prospectus for information on these and other risks associated with the Fund.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
Three types of derivatives were employed in the Fund's management during the period. We invested in highly-liquid, widely-traded Treasury futures and interest rate swap contracts to help manage portfolio duration. These enable us to efficiently implement our yield curve opinions and offset unintended yield curve impacts from other investments in the portfolio. We also invested in credit default swaps to manage exposure to overall credit risk and individual issuer risk. Credit and yield curve positioning, overall, contributed positively to Fund performance during the period. On a standalone basis, however, various derivative positions used to hedge these positions did detract from performance.
Looking Ahead
At this time, we expect the economy to continue to grow at a moderate pace. As a result, we currently plan to maintain modest overweight positions in corporate bonds, mortgages and other non-Treasury assets. We believe the valuations in these sectors are not as attractive as they had been in prior periods, but they still presently have the potential for incrementally positive returns. Because we currently anticipate that interest rates will rise in the period ahead, the Fund's duration position is shorter than the benchmark at this time. Should rates in fact rise, we believe that the two-to-five year segment of the maturity spectrum may be the most vulnerable, and we have positioned the portfolio accordingly.

Percentages indicated are based upon total fixed income securities (excluding Money Market Funds).
Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest), and are subject to change. The ratings shown are determined by using the middle rating of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch after dropping the highest and lowest available ratings. When a rating from only two agencies is available, the lower rating is used. When a rating from only one agency is available, that rating is used. When a bond is not rated by one of these agencies, it is designated as Not rated. Credit ratings are subjective opinions and not statements of fact.

Understanding Your Fund's Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, 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/or service 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 help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing Your Fund's Expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical 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 "Compare With Other Funds" below for details on how to use 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 be 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 investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds).
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

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 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 may 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.

Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

The Fund's assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security's value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets.
There were no transfers of financial assets between Levels 1 and 2 during the period.
Derivative instruments are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
The Fund does not hold any significant investments with unobservable inputs which are categorized as Level 3.
The Fund's assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances.
Certain asset backed securities classified as Level 3 are valued using the market approach and utilize single market quotations from broker dealers which may have included, but not limited to, the distressed nature of the security and observable transactions for similar assets in the market. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Certain residential mortgage backed securities classified as Level 3 securities are valued using the market approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered various factors which may have included, but were not limited to, estimated cash flows of the securities, discount rates observed in the market for similar assets as well as observed yields on securities management deemed comparable. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in observable yields on comparable securities would result in a directionally similar change to discount rates.
Financial assets were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as observable market inputs were utilized and management's determination that there was sufficient, reliable and observable market data to value these assets as of period end.
Transfers In | | Transfers Out | |
Level 2 ($) | | Level 3 ($) | | Level 2 ($) | | Level 3 ($) | |
| 2,385,226 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 2,385,226 | | |
Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 are determined based on the fair value at the beginning of the period for security positions held throughout the period.

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2014
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Bond 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, Class I, Class R, Class R4, Class R5, Class T, Class W, Class Y and Class Z shares. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. 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 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 generally available only to certain retirement plans and other eligible investors.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain other eligible investors.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% based on the investment amount. Class T shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 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 T shares are available only to investors who received (and who have continuously held) Class T shares in connection with the merger of certain Galaxy Funds into various Columbia Funds (formerly named Liberty Funds).
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 Y shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to certain eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums.
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
Annual Report 2014
39
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
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.
Asset and mortgage-backed securities are generally valued by pricing services, which utilize pricing models that incorporate the securities' cash flow and loan performance data. These models also take into account available market data, including trades, market quotations, and benchmark yield curves for identical or similar securities. Factors used to identify similar securities may include, but are not limited to, issuer, collateral type, vintage, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, credit ratings, credit enhancement and expected life. Asset-backed securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
All equity 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 ask prices on such exchanges or markets.
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.
Investments in open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
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.
Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.
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, 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 fair 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 (making it difficult for the Fund to sell, including at favorable prices) 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 notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Fund's risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the counterparty credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker's customer account. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all

the broker's customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the exchange or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $500,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to over-the-counter derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund's net assets decline by a stated percentage over a specified time period or the Fund fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which
would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivative contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts are exchange traded and 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 manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark and manage exposure to movements in interest rates. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it 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. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. 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.
Swap Contracts
Swap contracts are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or centrally cleared (centrally cleared swap contract). In a centrally cleared swap contract, immediately following execution of the swap contract, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the Fund faces the CCP

April 30, 2014
through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap contract, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Unlike a bilateral swap contract, for centrally cleared swap contacts, the Fund has minimal credit exposure to the counterparty as the CCP stands between the Fund and the counterparty. Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swap contracts, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Credit Default Swap Contracts
The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts to increase or decrease its credit exposure to an index, increase or decrease its credit exposure to a single issuer of debt securities and as a protection buyer to reduce overall credit exposure. Additionally, credit default swap contracts were used to hedge the Fund's exposure on a debt security that it owns or in lieu of selling such debt security. Credit default swap contracts are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for a guarantee from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a specified credit event(s) take place. Although specified events are contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium.
As the purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund purchases protection by paying a periodic interest rate on the notional amount to the counterparty. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract occurs, the Fund may have the option either to deliver the reference obligation to the seller in exchange for a cash payment of its par amount, or to receive a net cash settlement equal to the par amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation as of the date of the credit event. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash delivered and the notional amount received will be recorded as a realized gain (loss).
Any premium paid or received by the Fund upon entering into a credit default swap contract is recorded as an asset or liability, respectively, and amortized daily as a component of
realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Credit default swap contracts are valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain (loss) is recorded.
Credit default swap contracts can involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. The Fund will enter into credit default swap transactions only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
The Fund entered into interest rate swap transactions to gain exposure to or protect itself from market rate changes. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties that involve the exchange of one type of interest rate for another type of interest rate cash flow on specified dates in the future, based on a predetermined, specified notional amount. Certain interest rate swaps are considered forward-starting, whereby the accrual for the exchange of cash flows does not begin until a specified date in the future (the effective date). The net cash flow for a standard interest rate swap transaction is generally the difference between a floating market interest rate versus a fixed interest rate.
Interest rate swaps are valued daily and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is recorded. Certain interest rate swaps may accrue periodic interest on a daily basis as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation); the Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the payment or receipt of accrued interest. The Fund will realize a gain or a loss when the interest rate swap is terminated.
Risks of entering into interest rate swaps include a lack of correlation between the swaps and the portfolio of bonds the swaps are designed to hedge or replicate. A lack of correlation may cause the interest rate swaps to experience adverse changes in value relative to expectations. In addition, interest rate swaps are subject to the risk of default of a counterparty, and the risk of adverse movements in market interest rates relative to the interest rate swap positions taken. The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the contract's remaining life to the extent that such amount is positive, plus the cost of entering into a similar transaction with another counterparty.
The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty credit risk by entering into interest rate swap transactions only with

counterparties that meet prescribed levels of creditworthiness, as determined by the Investment Manager. 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 market value of all derivative transactions entered into pursuant to the contract between the Fund and such counterparty. If the net market value of such derivatives
transactions between the Fund and that counterparty exceeds a certain threshold (as defined in the agreement), the Fund or the counterparty is required to post cash and/or securities as collateral. Market values of derivatives transactions presented in the financial statements are not netted with the market values of other derivatives transactions or with any collateral amounts posted by the Fund or any counterparty.

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 risk since the other party to the transaction may fail to deliver which could cause the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Forward Sale Commitments
The Fund may enter into forward sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of forward sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. While a forward sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or an offsetting forward purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are used to satisfy the commitment.
Annual Report 2014
44
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
Unsettled forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under "Security Valuation" above. The forward sale commitment is "marked-to-market" daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the forward sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss. If the Fund delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the market price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions
The Fund may enter into mortgage "dollar rolls" in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar but not identical securities (same type, coupon and maturity) on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund loses the right to receive principal and interest paid on the securities sold. However, the Fund will benefit because it receives negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price for the future purchase plus the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the securities sold until the settlement date of the forward purchase. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as a realized gain or loss. Unless any realized gains exceed the income, capital appreciation, and gain or loss due to mortgage prepayments that would have been realized on the securities sold as part of the mortgage dollar roll, the use of this technique will diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared to what the performance would have been without the use of mortgage dollar rolls. All cash proceeds will be invested in instruments that are permissible investments for the Fund. The Fund identifies cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the forward purchase price.
For financial reporting and tax purposes, the Fund treats "to be announced" mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions, one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale. These transactions may increase the Fund's portfolio turnover rate. The Fund does not currently enter into mortgage dollar rolls that are accounted for as financing transactions.
Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase may decline below the repurchase price, or that the counterparty may default on its obligations.
Interest Only Securities
The Fund may invest in Interest Only Securities (IOs). IOs are stripped securities entitled to receive all of the security's interest, but none of its principal. The Fund may also invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities. If the underlying obligations experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in an IO. As a result of the prepayments the daily interest accrual factor is adjusted periodically (typically, each month) to reflect the paydown of principal. IOs are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates and therefore subject to greater fluctuations in price than typical interest bearing debt securities. IOs are also subject to credit risk because the Fund may not receive all or part of the interest payments if the issuer or credit enhanced defaults on its obligation.
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 an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. The Fund classifies gains and losses realized on prepayments received on mortgage-backed securities as adjustments to interest income.
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
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 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
Annual Report 2014
45
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
(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.
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 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, if any, 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.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, 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. The investment management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.43% to 0.30% as the Fund's net assets increase. The effective investment management fee rate for the year ended April 30, 2014 was 0.43% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager also serves as the Fund Administrator. 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. The effective administration fee rate for the year ended April 30, 2014 was 0.07% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
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. Obligations 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 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 also receives sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund's shares maintained in omnibus accounts (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 fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than
Annual Report 2014
46
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R5 shares. Class I and Class Y shares are not subject to transfer agent fees.
For the year ended April 30, 2014, the Fund's effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | | | 0.20 | % | |
Class B | | | 0.20 | | |
Class C | | | 0.20 | | |
Class R | | | 0.20 | | |
Class R4 | | | 0.20 | | |
Class R5 | | | 0.05 | | |
Class T | | | 0.20 | | |
Class W | | | 0.16 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.20 | | |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class'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 April 30, 2014, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $2,411.
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. The Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, 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.
Under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class W shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.75%, 0.75%, 0.50% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B, Class C, Class R and Class W shares, respectively.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the distribution fee for Class C shares so that the distribution fee does not exceed 0.60% 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.
Although the Fund may pay a distribution fee up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares and a service fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares, the aggregate fee shall not exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares.
Shareholder Services Fees
The Fund has adopted a shareholder services plan that permits it to pay for certain services provided to Class T shareholders by their selling and/or servicing agents. The Fund may pay shareholder servicing fees up to an aggregate annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares (comprised of up to 0.20% for shareholder liaison services and up to 0.20% for administrative support services). These fees are currently limited to an aggregate annual rate of not more than 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares. In addition, the shareholder servicing fee shall be waived by the selling and/or servicing agents to the extent necessary to prevent net investment income from falling below 0.00% on a daily basis. The effective shareholder services fee rate for the year ended April 30, 2014 was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $38,214 for Class A, $809 for Class B, $702 for Class C and $246 for Class T shares for the year ended April 30, 2014.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
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) for the periods disclosed below, 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:
| | September 1, 2013 through August 31, 2014 | | Prior to September 1, 2013 | |
Class A | | | 0.97 | % | | | 0.94 | % | |
Class B | | | 1.72 | | | | 1.69 | | |

Class R5 | | | 0.62 | | | | 0.58 | | |
Class T | | | 0.87 | | | | 0.84 | | |
Class W | | | 0.97 | | | | 0.94 | | |
Class Y | | | 0.57 | | | | 0.53 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.72 | | | | 0.69 | | |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, 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. Class C distribution fees waived by the Distributor, as discussed above, are in addition to the waiver/reimbursement commitment under the agreement.
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.
At April 30, 2014, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for principal and/or interest of fixed income securities, deferral/reversal of wash sales losses, Trustees' deferred compensation, distribution reclassifications, derivative investments and tax straddles. 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 | | $ | 1,211,744 | | |
Accumulated net realized gain | | | (1,211,746 | ) | |
Paid-in capital | | | 2 | | |
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 April 30, | | 2014 | | 2013 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 19,032,410 | | | $ | 48,223,096 | | |
Long-term capital gains | | | 30,181,917 | | | | 33,500,087 | | |
Total | | $ | 49,214,327 | | | $ | 81,723,183 | | |
Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.
At April 30, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed accumulated long-term gains | | $ | 3,398,524 | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 24,957,729 | | |
At April 30, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $859,436,262 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 30,643,027 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (5,685,298 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 24,957,729 | | |
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).

Note 6. Affiliated Money Market Fund
The Fund invests its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated 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 included as "Dividends — affiliated issuers" 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 April 30, 2014, one unaffiliated shareholder of record owned 77.6% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, 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 higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) 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. Effective December 10, 2013, the Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.075% per annum. Prior to December 10, 2013, the commitment fee was charged at the annual rate of 0.08% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended April 30, 2014.
Note 9. Significant Risks
Asset-Backed Securities Risk
The value of asset-backed securities may be affected by, among other factors, changes in interest rates, the market's assessment of the quality of underlying assets, the creditworthiness of the servicer for the underlying assets, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the underlying assets, or the creditworthiness or rating of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety
bonds, derivative instruments, or other credit enhancement. The value of asset-backed securities also will be affected by the exhaustion, termination or expiration of any credit enhancement. Most asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying debt may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Fund to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of asset-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk
The value of mortgage-backed securities may be affected by, among other things, changes in interest rates, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the mortgages, the creditworthiness of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds or other credit enhancements or the quality of underlying assets or the market's assessment thereof. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying mortgage may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Fund to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of mortgage-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.
Note 10. 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 11. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
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, 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 Bond Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, 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 Bond Fund (the "Fund", a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at April 30, 2014, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets 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 April 30, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and transfer agent, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where such confirmations had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Dear Shareholders,
Continued Economic Recovery
The U.S. economy continued to recover at a slow but steady pace during the first quarter of 2014, supported by solid manufacturing activity, reasonable job growth and continued gains for the housing market. Industrial production was robust, buoyed by strong demand for autos and related parts. After a disappointing January, job growth picked up, which helped boost consumer confidence. Housing data was somewhat mixed, as harsh weather and higher mortgage rates put a damper on sales, while lower inventories helped prices trend higher. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) announced further reductions to its monthly asset purchases and reassured the markets that it would not make any significant changes to monetary policy until it was satisfied that the labor market was on solid ground. Despite mostly good news on the economic front, the broad financial markets recorded only modest gains, as bitter winter weather at home and mounting tensions between Russia and Western allies prompted investor caution.
Investors braced for higher interest rates, but long-term yields declined and the fixed-income markets were surprisingly resilient in the face of stable-to-improving economic data. Risk-on trading continued during the quarter as the higher yielding sectors of the fixed-income markets generally fared well. Emerging-market bonds, long-term U.S. Treasuries and sovereign debt were among the strongest performers, as were Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. Municipal bonds delivered solid gains, especially high-yield municipals, which benefited from continued improvement in state finances.
Against this backdrop, the broad bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, edged out the broad stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, with gains of 1.84% vs. 1.81%, respectively. As indicated late last year, the Fed began tapering its monthly asset purchase program and announced further reductions. New Fed chair Janet Yellen reassured investors the Fed was committed to keeping short-term borrowing rates low into 2015.

Returns for Class A are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 3.25% (for the one-year and five-year periods) and 4.75% (for the ten-year period). (Prior to August 22, 2005, new purchases of Class A shares had a maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%.) Returns for Class B are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 3.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the fourth year and eliminated thereafter. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. The Fund's other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
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.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month period that ended April 30, 2014, the Fund's Class A shares returned -0.62% excluding sales charges. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -0.26% for the same period. An overweight in 10-year bonds and the Fund's position in mortgage securities detracted from results during the period.
Stable Economic Growth
Even though a difficult winter weighed on the U.S. economy early in 2014, it was not enough to derail the steady growth that marked the 12-month period. Solid new job growth drove the unemployment rate down to 6.3%. Robust manufacturing activity boosted the nation's capacity utilization rate to a recovery high of 79.2%. Personal income edged higher, borrowing increased and the savings rate declined. Consumer confidence generally rose during the 12-month period, reflecting consumer expectations that the economy was on solid ground. The housing market lost some momentum, the victim of bad winter weather, tighter borrowing standards, rising prices and higher mortgage rates. However, higher pending home sales near the end of the period was a positive data point.
Early in the period, then-Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke rattled the fixed-income markets when he indicated that the Fed was preparing to taper its monthly bond purchases, their longstanding program known as quantitative easing. The bond market declined sharply following Bernanke's announcement, and long-term interest rates rose. Once Fed tapering commenced in January 2014, longer-term interest rates declined over the last four months of the period. However, short-term rates remained at historically low levels. In this environment, returns from many fixed-income sectors were low to slightly negative.
Contributors and Detractors
In a challenging environment, positions in high-yield and non-agency mortgage bonds bolstered return, as did an overweight position in commercial mortgage-backed securities. Within corporate bonds, an emphasis on preferred securities within the financial sector also aided performance relative to the benchmark. In addition, the Fund maintained a relatively short duration, which helped reduce risk at a time when interest rates were rising. Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity. However, an overweight in 10-year bonds detracted from results, because it was especially hard hit when rates rose in the spring of 2013. The Fund's position in mortgage securities also detracted from relative return. The Fund had emphasized securitized pools in which the underlying mortgages carried small balances, thus reducing overall prepayment risk. These securities had performed well for the Fund as interest rates declined, but the value of prepayment protection evaporated when rates reversed course in 2013 and these mortgage securities underperformed.
During the period, we added to positions in Small Business Administration (SBA) securities, which are guaranteed by the U.S. government, and RefCorp securities, which are not explicitly guaranteed but nonetheless receive government backing. Together these positions accounted for approximately 4% of the portfolio's net assets. The Fund also bolstered its credit quality during the course of the year, a reflection of the decline in the yield advantage enjoyed by the riskier sectors of the market.

Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund
Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
Three types of derivatives were employed in the Fund's management during the period. We invested in highly-liquid, widely-traded Treasury futures and interest rate swap contracts to help manage portfolio duration. These enable us to efficiently implement our yield curve opinions and offset unintended yield curve impacts from other investments in the portfolio. We also invested in credit default swaps to manage exposure to overall credit risk and individual issuer risk. Credit and yield curve positioning, overall, contributed positively to Fund performance during the period. On a standalone basis, however, various derivative positions used to hedge these positions did detract from performance.
Looking Ahead
At this time, we expect the economy to continue to grow at a moderate pace. As a result, we currently plan to maintain modest overweight positions in corporate bonds, mortgages and other non-Treasury assets. We believe the valuations in these sectors are not as attractive as they had been in prior periods, but they still presently have the potential for incrementally positive returns. Because we currently anticipate that interest rates will rise in the period ahead, the Fund's duration position is shorter than the benchmark at this time. Should rates in fact rise, we believe that the two-to-five year segment of the maturity spectrum may be the most vulnerable, and we have positioned the portfolio accordingly.

Percentages indicated are based upon total fixed income securities (excluding Money Market Funds).
Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest), and are subject to change. The ratings shown are determined by using the middle rating of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch after dropping the highest and lowest available ratings. When a rating from only two agencies is available, the lower rating is used. When a rating from only one agency is available, that rating is used. When a bond is not rated by one of these agencies, it is designated as Not rated. Credit ratings are subjective opinions and not statements of fact.

Investment Risks
There are risks associated with an investment in this Fund, including credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk and prepayment and extension risk. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is more pronounced for longer-term securities. Noninvestment grade securities, commonly called "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, have more volatile prices and carry more risk to principal and income than investment grade securities. Investing in derivatives is a specialized activity that involves special risks, which may result in significant losses. See the Fund's prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Understanding Your Fund's Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, 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/or service 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 help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing Your Fund's Expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical 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 "Compare With Other Funds" below for details on how to use 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 be 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 investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds).
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

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 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 may 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.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

(a) Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) relating to securities held at April 30, 2014 was $99,723, which is comprised of Corporate Bonds & Notes of $(14,888), Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities — Non-Agency of $148,253, Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities — Non-Agency of $(32,725) and Senior Loans of $(917).
The Fund's assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances.
Certain corporate bonds classified as Level 3 are valued using a market approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered various factors which may have included, but were not limited to, trades of similar securities, estimated earnings of the respective company, market multiples derived from a set of comparable companies, and the position of the security within the respective company's capital structure. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change estimated earnings of the respective company might result in change to the comparable companies and market multiples.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Certain residential and commercial backed securities as well as senior loans classified as Level 3 securities are valued using the market approach and utilize single market quotations from broker dealers which may have included, but not limited to, the distressed nature of the security and observable transactions for similar assets in the market. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Other residential mortgage backed securities classified as Level 3 are valued using a market approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered various factors which may have included, but were not limited to, estimated cash flows of the securities and observed yields on securities management deemed comparable. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in observable yields on comparable securities would result in a directionally similar change to discount rates.
Financial assets were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as observable market inputs were utilized and management's determination that there was sufficient, reliable and observable market data to value these assets as of period end.
Financial Assets were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to utilizing a single market quotation from a broker dealer. As a result, as of period end, management determined to value the security(s) under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 are determined based on the fair value at the beginning of the period for security positions held throughout the period.

Note 1. Organization
Columbia Intermediate Bond 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, Class I, Class K, Class R, Class R4, Class R5, Class W, Class Y and Class Z shares. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. 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 3.25% 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 3.00% 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 I shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class K shares are not subject to sales charges, however this share class is closed to new investors.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other eligible investors.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain other eligible investors.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
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 Y shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to certain eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums.
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.
Asset and mortgage-backed securities are generally valued by pricing services, which utilize pricing models that incorporate the securities' cash flow and loan performance data. These models also take into account available market data, including trades, market quotations, and benchmark yield curves for identical or similar securities. Factors used to identify similar

April 30, 2014
securities may include, but are not limited to, issuer, collateral type, vintage, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, credit ratings, credit enhancement and expected life. Asset-backed securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
All equity 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 ask prices on such exchanges or markets.
Investments in 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.
Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.
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, 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 fair value.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations
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 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 (making it difficult for the Fund to sell, including at favorable prices) 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 notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Fund's risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the counterparty credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect

to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker's customer account. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker's customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the exchange or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $500,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to over-the-counter derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund's net assets decline by a stated percentage over a specified time period or the Fund fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivative contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts are exchange traded and 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 manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark and to manage exposure to movements in interest rates. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it 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. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. 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.
Swap Contracts
Swap contracts are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or
Annual Report 2014
55
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
centrally cleared (centrally cleared swap contract). In a centrally cleared swap contract, immediately following execution of the swap contract, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the Fund faces the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap contract, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Unlike a bilateral swap contract, for centrally cleared swap contacts, the Fund has minimal credit exposure to the counterparty as the CCP stands between the Fund and the counterparty. Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swap contracts, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Credit Default Swap Contracts
The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts to increase or decrease its credit exposure to an index, increase or decrease its credit exposure to a single issuer of debt securities, and increase or decrease its credit exposure to a specific debt security or a basket of debt securities. Additionally, credit default swap contracts were used to hedge the Fund's exposure on a debt security that it owns or in lieu of selling such debt security. Credit default swap contracts are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for a guarantee from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a specified credit event(s) take place. Although specified events are contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium.
As the purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund purchases protection by paying a periodic interest rate on the notional amount to the counterparty. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract occurs, the Fund may have the option either to deliver the reference obligation to the seller in exchange for a cash payment of its par amount, or to receive a net cash settlement equal to the par amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation as of the date of the credit event. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash delivered and the notional amount received will be recorded as a realized gain (loss).
Any premium paid or received by the Fund upon entering into a credit default swap contract is recorded as an asset or liability, respectively, and amortized daily as a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Credit default swap contracts are valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain (loss) is recorded.
Credit default swap contracts can involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. The Fund will enter into credit default swap transactions only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
The Fund entered into interest rate swap transactions to gain exposure to or protect itself from market rate changes. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties that involve the exchange of one type of interest rate for another type of interest rate cash flow on specified dates in the future, based on a predetermined, specified notional amount. Certain interest rate swaps are considered forward-starting, whereby the accrual for the exchange of cash flows does not begin until a specified date in the future (the effective date). The net cash flow for a standard interest rate swap transaction is generally the difference between a floating market interest rate versus a fixed interest rate.
Interest rate swaps are valued daily and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is recorded. Certain interest rate swaps may accrue periodic interest on a daily basis as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation); the Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the payment or receipt of accrued interest. The Fund will realize a gain or a loss when the interest rate swap is terminated.
Risks of entering into interest rate swaps include a lack of correlation between the swaps and the portfolio of bonds the swaps are designed to hedge or replicate. A lack of correlation may cause the interest rate swaps to experience adverse changes in value relative to expectations. In addition, interest rate swaps are subject to the risk of default of a counterparty, and the risk of adverse movements in market interest rates relative to the interest rate swap positions taken. The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the contract's remaining life to the extent that such amount is positive, plus the cost of entering into a similar transaction with another counterparty.

April 30, 2014
The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty credit risk by entering into interest rate swap transactions only with counterparties that meet prescribed levels of creditworthiness, as determined by the Investment Manager. 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 market value of all derivative transactions entered into pursuant to the contract between the Fund and
such counterparty. If the net market value of such derivatives transactions between the Fund and that counterparty exceeds a certain threshold (as defined in the agreement), the Fund or the counterparty is required to post cash and/or securities as collateral. Market values of derivatives transactions presented in the financial statements are not netted with the market values of other derivatives transactions or with any collateral amounts posted by the Fund or any counterparty.

Investments in Loans
The Fund may invest in loan participations and assignments of all or a portion of a loan. When the Fund purchases a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participations (Selling Participant), but not the borrower, and assumes the credit risk of the borrower, Selling Participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower. In addition, the Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the loan that it has purchased from the Selling Participant. In contrast, when the Fund purchases an assignment of a loan, the Fund typically has direct rights against the borrower; provided, however, that the Fund's rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce their rights only through an administrative agent. Although certain loan participations or assignments are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing such collateral or have their interest subordinated to other
Annual Report 2014

indebtedness of the obligor. In the event that the administrator or collateral agent of a loan becomes insolvent, enters into receivership or bankruptcy, the Fund may incur costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest. The risk of loss is greater for unsecured or subordinated loans. In addition, loan participations and assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for loan participations and assignments and certain loan participations and assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid.
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 risk since the other party to the transaction may fail to deliver which could cause the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions
The Fund may enter into mortgage "dollar rolls" in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar but not identical securities (same type, coupon and maturity) on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund loses the right to receive principal and interest paid on the securities sold. However, the Fund will benefit because it receives negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price for the future purchase plus the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the securities sold until the settlement date of the forward purchase. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as a realized gain or loss. Unless any realized gains exceed the income, capital appreciation, and gain or loss due to mortgage prepayments that would have been realized on the securities sold as part of the mortgage dollar roll, the use of this technique will diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared to what the performance would have been without the use of mortgage dollar rolls. All cash proceeds will be invested in instruments that are permissible investments for the Fund. The Fund identifies cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the forward purchase price.
For financial reporting and tax purposes, the Fund treats "to be announced" mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions, one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale. These transactions may increase the Fund's portfolio turnover rate. The Fund does not
currently enter into mortgage dollar rolls that are accounted for as financing transactions.
Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase may decline below the repurchase price, or that the counterparty may default on its obligations.
Interest Only Securities
The Fund may invest in Interest Only Securities (IOs). IOs are stripped securities entitled to receive all of the security's interest, but none of its principal. The Fund may also invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities. If the underlying obligations experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in an IO. As a result of the prepayments the daily interest accrual factor is adjusted periodically (typically, each month) to reflect the paydown of principal. IOs are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates and therefore subject to greater fluctuations in price than typical interest bearing debt securities. IOs are also subject to credit risk because the Fund may not receive all or part of the interest payments if the issuer or credit enhanced defaults on its obligation.
Principal Only Securities
The Fund may invest in Principal Only Securities (POs). POs are stripped securities entitled to receive most, if not all, of the principal from the underlying obligation, but not the interest. The Fund may also invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities. POs are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates and therefore are subject to fluctuations in price. POs are also subject to credit risk because the Fund may not receive all or part of its principal if the issuer or credit enhancer defaults on its obligation.
Stripped Securities
The Fund may invest in Interest Only (IO) and Principal Only (PO) stripped mortgage-backed securities. These securities are derivative multi-class mortgage securities structured so that one class receives most, if not all, of the principal from the underlying mortgage assets, while the other class receives most, if not all, of the interest and the remainder of the principal. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in an IO security, therefore the daily interest accrual factor is adjusted each month to reflect the paydown of principal. The market value of these securities can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. Credit risk reflects the risk that the Fund may not receive all or part of its principal because the issuer or credit enhancer has defaulted on its obligation.

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 an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. The Fund classifies gains and losses realized on prepayments received on mortgage-backed securities as adjustments to interest income.
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The value of additional securities received as an income payment is recorded as income and increases the cost basis of such securities.
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 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, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value 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 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, if any, 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.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, 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. The investment management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.43% to 0.30% as the Fund's net assets increase. The effective investment management fee rate for the year ended April 30, 2014 was 0.41% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager also serves as the Fund Administrator. 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. The effective administration fee rate for the year ended April 30, 2014 was 0.06% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
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. Obligations of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets.

Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund 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 also receives sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund's shares maintained in omnibus accounts (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 fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Class I and Class Y shares are not subject to transfer agent fees.
For the year ended April 30, 2014, the Fund's effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | | | 0.16 | % | |
Class B | | | 0.16 | | |
Class C | | | 0.16 | | |
Class K | | | 0.00 | * | |
Class R | | | 0.16 | | |
Class R4 | | | 0.16 | | |
Class R5 | | | 0.00 | * | |
Class W | | | 0.16 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.16 | | |
*Rounds to zero.
The Fund and certain other associated investment companies, 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). SDC was the legacy Seligman funds' former transfer agent.
The lease and the Guaranty expire in January 2019. At April 30, 2014, the Fund's total potential future obligation over the life of the Guaranty is $14,977. The liability remaining at April 30, 2014 for non-recurring charges associated with the lease amounted to $10,667 and is recorded as a part of the payable for other expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class'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 April 30, 2014, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $4,119.
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 K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
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. The Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, 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.
Under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class W shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.10%, 0.75%, 0.75%, 0.50% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class W shares, respectively.
Annual Report 2014

Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
Although the Fund may pay distribution and service fees up to a maximum annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares (comprised of up to 0.10% for distribution services and up to 0.25% for shareholder liaison services), the Fund currently limits such fees to an aggregate fee of not more than 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the distribution fee for Class C shares so that the distribution fee does not exceed 0.60% 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.
Although the Fund may pay a distribution fee up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares and a service fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares, the aggregate fee shall not exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $247,662 for Class A, $11,388 for Class B and $3,016 for Class C, shares for the year ended April 30, 2014.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
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) for the period disclosed below, 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:
| | Fee Rates Contractual through December 31, 2014 | |
Class A | | | 0.85 | % | |
Class B | | | 1.60 | | |
Class C | | | 1.60 | | |
Class I | | | 0.50 | | |
Class K | | | 0.80 | | |
Class R | | | 1.10 | | |
Class R4 | | | 0.60 | | |
Class R5 | | | 0.55 | | |
Class W | | | 0.85 | | |
Class Y | | | 0.50 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.60 | | |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, 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. Class C distribution fees waived by the Distributor, as discussed above, are in addition to the waiver/reimbursement commitment under the agreement.
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.
At April 30, 2014, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for capital loss carryforwards, principal and/or interest of fixed income securities, deferral/reversal of wash sales losses, Trustees' deferred compensation, distribution reclassifications, derivative investments and tax straddles. 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 | | $ | (15,995,129 | ) | |
Accumulated net realized loss | | | 15,968,905 | | |
Paid-in capital | | | 26,224 | | |
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 April 30, | | 2014 | | 2013 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 113,543,064 | | | $ | 118,759,067 | | |
Long-term capital gains | | | 28,751,017 | | | | 20,518,637 | | |
Total | | $ | 142,294,081 | | | $ | 139,277,704 | | |
Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.

Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
At April 30, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 8,305,778 | | |
Capital loss carryforwards | | | (23,304,264 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 45,661,759 | | |
At April 30, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $4,139,380,160 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 104,065,043 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (58,403,284 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 45,661,759 | | |
The following capital loss carryforwards, determined at April 30, 2014, 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 | |
Unlimited short-term | | $ | 23,304,264 | | |
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 $12,753,746,181 and $14,161,132,974, respectively, for the year ended April 30, 2014, of which $9,837,486,231 and $10,130,973,989, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
Note 6. Affiliated Money Market Fund
The Fund invests its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated 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 included as "Dividends — affiliated issuers" 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 April 30, 2014, one unaffiliated shareholder of record owned 18.9% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Affiliated shareholders of record owned 38.9% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, 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 higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) 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. Effective December 10, 2013, the Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.075% per annum. Prior to December 10, 2013, the commitment fee was charged at the annual rate of 0.08% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended April 30, 2014.
Note 9. Fund Merger
At the close of business on March 15, 2013, the Fund acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of Columbia Diversified Bond Fund, a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the acquired fund). The reorganization was completed after shareholders of the acquired fund approved a plan of reorganization on February 27, 2013. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Investment Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies.
The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $2,558,418,370 and the combined net assets immediately after the acquisition were $5,569,275,980.
The merger was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 607,096,686 shares of the acquired fund valued at
Annual Report 2014
63
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
$3,010,857,610 (including $80,476,192 of unrealized appreciation).
In exchange for the acquired fund's shares, the Fund issued the following number of shares:
| | Shares | |
Class A | | | 198,219,171 | | |
Class B | | | 4,174,593 | | |
Class C | | | 6,533,646 | | |
Class I | | | 24,395,358 | | |
Class K | | | 8,041,771 | | |
Class R | | | 22,650 | | |
Class R4 | | | 1,369 | | |
Class R5 | | | 18,399 | | |
Class W | | | 78,413,367 | | |
Class Z | | | 443,605 | | |
For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the acquired fund's cost of investments was carried forward.
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 the acquired 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 May 1, 2012 the Fund's pro-forma net investment income, net gain on investments, net change in unrealized depreciation and net increase in net assets from operations for the year ended April 30, 2013 would have been approximately $174.8 million, $167.8 million, $(5.4) million and $337.4 million, respectively.
Note 10. Significant Risks
Asset-Backed Securities Risk
The value of asset-backed securities may be affected by, among other factors, changes in interest rates, the market's assessment of the quality of underlying assets, the creditworthiness of the servicer for the underlying assets, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the underlying assets, or the creditworthiness or rating of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, derivative instruments, or other credit enhancement. The value of asset-backed securities also will be affected by the exhaustion, termination or expiration of any credit enhancement. Most
asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying debt may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Fund to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of asset-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk
The value of mortgage-backed securities may be affected by, among other things, changes in interest rates, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the mortgages, the creditworthiness of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds or other credit enhancements or the quality of underlying assets or the market's assessment thereof. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying mortgage may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Fund to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of mortgage-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.
Note 11. 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 12. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
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
Annual Report 2014
64
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
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, 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 Intermediate Bond Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, 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 Intermediate Bond Fund (the "Fund", a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at April 30, 2014, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets 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 April 30, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, agent banks, and transfer agent, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where such confirmations had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Dear Shareholders,
Continued Economic Recovery
The U.S. economy continued to recover at a slow but steady pace during the first quarter of 2014, supported by solid manufacturing activity, reasonable job growth and continued gains for the housing market. Industrial production was robust, buoyed by strong demand for autos and related parts. After a disappointing January, job growth picked up, which helped boost consumer confidence. Housing data was somewhat mixed, as harsh weather and higher mortgage rates put a damper on sales, while lower inventories helped prices trend higher. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) announced further reductions to its monthly asset purchases and reassured the markets that it would not make any significant changes to monetary policy until it was satisfied that the labor market was on solid ground. Despite mostly good news on the economic front, the broad financial markets recorded only modest gains, as bitter winter weather at home and mounting tensions between Russia and Western allies prompted investor caution.
Investors braced for higher interest rates, but long-term yields declined and the fixed-income markets were surprisingly resilient in the face of stable-to-improving economic data. Risk-on trading continued during the quarter as the higher yielding sectors of the fixed-income markets generally fared well. Emerging-market bonds, long-term U.S. Treasuries and sovereign debt were among the strongest performers, as were Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. Municipal bonds delivered solid gains, especially high-yield municipals, which benefited from continued improvement in state finances.
Against this backdrop, the broad bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, edged out the broad stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, with gains of 1.84% vs. 1.81%, respectively. As indicated late last year, the Fed began tapering its monthly asset purchase program and announced further reductions. New Fed chair Janet Yellen reassured investors the Fed was committed to keeping short-term borrowing rates low into 2015.

Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund
Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month period that ended April 30, 2014, the Fund's Class A shares returned -1.92% excluding sales charges. The Citigroup Bond U.S. Treasury Index returned -1.54% over the same period. The Fund generally tracked the benchmark in a period challenged by rising interest rates. Fees, which the Fund incurs but the benchmark does not, generally accounted for the slight difference in returns.
Stable Economic Growth
Even though a difficult winter weighed on the U.S. economy early in 2014, it was not enough to derail the steady growth that marked the 12-month period. Solid new job growth drove the unemployment rate down to 6.3%. Robust manufacturing activity boosted the nation's capacity utilization rate to a recovery high of 79.2%. Personal income edged higher, borrowing increased and the savings rate declined. Consumer confidence generally rose during the 12-month period, reflecting consumer expectations that the economy appeared to be on solid ground. The housing market lost some momentum, the victim of bad winter weather, tighter borrowing standards, rising prices and higher mortgage rates. However, higher pending home sales near the end of the period was a positive data point.
Against this backdrop, the U.S. Treasury market generated negative returns over the 12-month period, an unusual result for the highest quality sector of the fixed income markets. The Federal Reserve (Fed) drove the Treasury market along the entire spectrum of the yield curve (a chart of Treasury yields from short to long) during the period. At the short end of the curve, yields remained at the historically low levels set several years ago as part of the Fed's effort to stimulate the economy. At the long end of the curve, yields rose in response to then-chairman Ben Bernanke's announcement in the spring of 2013 that the Fed would begin to taper its longstanding program of monthly bond purchases, known as quantitative easing, and they remained in the red for the twelve-month period, despite a rally in early 2014.
In retrospect, Bernanke's move in the spring of 2013 may have been something of a trial balloon, testing the market's response to the inevitable reduction in the Fed's role as a buyer of Treasury securities. And, as so often happens in financial markets, when tapering actually commenced in January 2014 the market was considerably more restrained in its response. Investors recognized that new Fed chairman Janet Yellen would retain the caution of her predecessor, and the market rallied both prior to and after her assumption of the reins in February. For the period as a whole, the five- to 30-year segment of the yield curve flattened during the twelve months. Yields on five-year securities increased a full percentage point, from 0.68% to 1.68%, while 30-year yields rose from 2.88% to 3.46%.
Looking Ahead
At present, we believe the dynamics of the U.S. Treasury market remain solid, even though the Fed will be less of a buyer than it has been in recent years. The economy currently appears to be moving ahead, but at a slower pace than had been projected a year ago. Fed chair Yellen has voiced concern about the sluggishness of the housing and labor markets, and has also noted the absence of inflation in the financial system. Low inflation has been one of the reasons why domestic interest rates have remained low relative to the rest of the world. We would not be surprised to see rates move gradually higher in the next six to 12 months, assuming that economic growth stays at a relatively muted pace.

Percentages indicated are based upon total fixed income securities (excluding Money Market Funds).
Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest), and are subject to change. The ratings shown are determined by using the middle rating of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch after dropping the highest and lowest available ratings. When a rating from only two agencies is available, the lower rating is used. When a rating from only one agency is available, that rating is used. When a bond is not rated by one of these agencies, it is designated as Not rated. Credit ratings are subjective opinions and not statements of fact.
Investment Risks
There are risks associated with an investment in this Fund, including credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk and prepayment and extension risk. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is more pronounced for longer-term securities. See the Fund's prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Understanding Your Fund's Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, 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/or service 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 help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing Your Fund's Expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical 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 "Compare With Other Funds" below for details on how to use 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 be 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 investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds).
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

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 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 may 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.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers.

Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2014
Note 1. Organization
Columbia U.S. Treasury Index 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, Class I, Class R5, Class W and Class Z shares. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. 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 I shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
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 eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums.
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 open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
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, 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 fair value.

Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
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 an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
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 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, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value 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 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, if any, 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.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, 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. The investment management fee is an annual fee that is equal to 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager also serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Investment Manager, from the administration fee it receives from the Fund, pays all operating expenses of the Fund, with the exception of brokerage fees and commissions, interest, fees and expenses of Trustees who are not officers, directors or employees of the Investment Manager or its affiliates, distribution and/or shareholder servicing and plan administration fees and any extraordinary non-recurring expenses that may arise, including litigation.
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. Obligations 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 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 fees are payable by the Investment Manager. 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. The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class'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 April 30, 2014, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $1,500.
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. The Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, 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.
Under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class W shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.75%, 0.75% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B, Class C and Class W shares, respectively.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the distribution fee for Class C shares so that the distribution fee does not exceed 0.60% 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.
Although the Fund may pay a distribution fee up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares and a service fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares, the aggregate fee shall not exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares.
Sales Charges

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), for the period disclosed below, 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:
| | | | Fee Rates Contractual through August 31, 2014 | |

distribution fees waived by the Distributor, as discussed above, are in addition to the waiver/reimbursement commitment under the agreement.
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.
At April 30, 2014, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for capital loss carryforwards, principal and/or interest of fixed income securities, deferral/reversal of wash sales losses, Trustees' deferred compensation and distribution reclassifications. 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:
Excess of distributions over net investment income | | $ | 48,214 | | |
Accumulated net realized loss | | | (48,213 | ) | |
Paid-in capital | | | (1 | ) | |
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 April 30, | | 2014 | | 2013 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 5,158,008 | | | $ | 10,166,584 | | |
Long-term capital gains | | | 2,849,127 | | | | 7,206,789 | | |
Total | | $ | 8,007,135 | | | $ | 17,373,373 | | |
Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.
At April 30, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 396,636 | | |
Capital loss carryforwards | | | (723,342 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 5,412,839 | | |
At April 30, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $299,317,747 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 6,157,136 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (744,297 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 5,412,839 | | |
The following capital loss carryforwards, determined at April 30, 2014, 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 ($) | |
Unlimited short-term | | | 723,342 | | |
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 $240,801,487 and $274,748,336, respectively, for the year ended April 30, 2014, of which $240,801,487 and $274,748,336, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
Note 6. Affiliated Money Market Fund
The Fund invests its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated 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 included as "Dividends — affiliated issuers" 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 April 30, 2014, one unaffiliated shareholder of record owned 17.7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Affiliated shareholders of record owned 41.2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is
Annual Report 2014
24
Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014
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 higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) 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. Effective December 10, 2013, the Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.075% per annum. Prior to December 10, 2013, the commitment fee was charged at the annual rate of 0.08% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended April 30, 2014.
Note 9. 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 10. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
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, 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 U.S. Treasury Index Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, 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 U.S. Treasury Index Fund (the "Fund", a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at April 30, 2014, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets 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 April 30, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and transfer agent, 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 auditors to provide audit and non-audit services to the registrant and non-audit services to its investment adviser (excluding any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser (the “Adviser”) or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (a “Control Affiliate”) 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 Auditors for Audit and Non-Audit Services (the “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 (“Fund Services”); (ii) non-audit services to the registrant’s Adviser and any Control Affiliates, that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fund (“Fund-related Adviser Services”); and (iii) certain other audit and non-audit services to the registrant’s Adviser and its Control Affiliates. 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 board members. 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 auditor 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 specific types of services that the independent auditor will be permitted to perform and the projected fees for each service.
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 provided since the last such report was rendered, including a description of the services, by category, with forecasted fees for the annual reporting period, proposed changes requiring specific pre-approval and a description of services provided by the independent auditor, by category, with actual fees during the current reporting period.
