 following investors are now eligible to purchase Class Z shares: (i) clients of
 broker-dealers  or  registered  investment  advisors  that both  recommend  the
 purchase of Fund  shares and charge such  clients an  asset-based  fee;  (ii) a
 retirement  plan (or the custodian for such plan) with aggregate plan assets of
 at least $5 million at the time of purchase and which purchases shares directly
 from Liberty Funds  Distributor,  Inc.,  the Funds'  distributor,  or through a
 third party broker-dealer;  (iii) any insurance company,  trust company or bank
 purchasing shares for its own account;  (iv) any endowment,  investment company
 or foundation; (v) clients of investment advisory affiliates of the distributor
 provided that the clients meet certain criteria  established by the distributor
 and its affiliates; (vi) any shareholder (or family member of such shareholder)
 who owned shares of any of the funds of Liberty  Acorn Trust on  September  29,
 2000  (when all of the then  outstanding  shares of  Liberty  Acorn  Trust were
 re-designated Class Z shares) and who has since then continued to own shares of
 any funds  distributed  by Liberty Funds  Distributor,  Inc.;  (vii) any person
 investing all or part of the proceeds of a distribution,  roll over or transfer
 of assets into a Liberty IRA, from any deferred  compensation  plan which was a
 shareholder  of any of the funds of Liberty  Acorn Trust on September 29, 2000,
 in which the investor was a participant and through which the investor invested
 in one or more of the funds of Liberty  Acorn  Trust  immediately  prior to the
 distribution, roll over or transfer; (viii) any trustee of Liberty Acorn Trust,
 any  employee of Liberty  Wanger  Asset  Management,  L.P.,  or a member of the
 family of such trustee or employee; and (ix) any person or entity listed in the
 account  registration  for  any  account  (such  as  joint  owners,   trustees,
 custodians,  and designated beneficiaries) that held shares of any of the funds
 of Liberty Acorn Trust on September 29, 2000 and that has since then  continued
 to hold shares of any fund distributed by Liberty Funds Distributor, Inc.
