(NASDAQ:CEXIXNASDAQ:CEIBXNASDAQ:CEINX) The Complaint charges
FleetBoston Financial Corporation, Columbia Management Group, Inc.,
Columbia Management Advisors, Inc., Columbia Wanger Asset
Management, L.P., the Columbia Funds, and the Doe Defendants with
violations of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and with common
law fiduciaryduties. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that
during the Class Period the defendants engaged in illegal and
improper trading practices, which caused financial injury to the
Shareholders of the Columbia Mutual Funds. According to the
Complaint, theDefendants surreptitiously permitted certain favored
investors, to illegally engage in "market timing" of the Columbia
Mutual Funds whereby favored investors were permitted to conduct
short-term, "in and out" trading of mutual fund shares, despite
explicit restrictions on such activity in the Columbia Family of
Mutual Funds' prospectuses. If you purchased shares of mutual funds
managed by Columbia during the Class Period, you may, no later than
April 13, 2004, move to be appointed as a Lead Plaintiff in this
class action. A Lead Plaintiff is a representative, chosen by the
Court, that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the
litigation. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
directs Courts to assume that the class member(s) with the "largest
financial interest" in the outcome of the case will best serve the
class in this capacity. Courts have discretion in determining which
class member(s) have the "largest financial interest," and have
appointed Lead Plaintiffs with substantial losses in both absolute
terms and as a percentage of their net worth. If you have sustained
substantial losses in Columbia Family of Mutual Funds during the
Class Period, please contact Spector, Roseman & Kodroff, P.C.
at for a more thorough explanation of the Lead Plaintiff selection
process. If you have relatively small losses, your ability to
participate in any recovery will be protected by the Lead
Plaintiff(s), and you need take no affirmative steps at this time.
