EXHIBIT 77E

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. 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 Fund is 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 Fund or the
ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their
contracts with the Fund. Information regarding certain pending and settled legal
proceedings may be found in the Fund's stockholder reports and in the SAI.
Additionally, 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.
