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, transfer or roll over; (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.
