Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to invite you to a special meeting of shareholders of the Galaxy Funds noted above (each a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds"). The meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on November 16, 2005, at the offices of The Galaxy Fund, One Financial Center, Boston, Massachusetts (the "Meeting"). At the Meeting, you will be asked to approve a reorganization (each a "Reorganization," and collectively the "Reorganizations") of your Fund into a corresponding acquiring mutual fund (an "Acquiring Fund") in Columbia Funds Series Trust (formerly known as Nations Funds Trust).

The proposed Reorganizations are recommended by Columbia Management Group, LLC ("Columbia Management Group"), the parent company of both Banc of America Capital Management, LLC ("BACAP"), the investment adviser for the Acquiring Funds, and Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. ("Columbia"), the investment adviser to the Funds. Columbia Management Group believes that the proposed Reorganizations will accomplish two important goals. First, by reorganizing the Funds into Acquiring Funds with similar investment objectives and principal investment strategies, Columbia Management Group can create larger, more efficient investment portfolios. Second, by streamlining its product offerings, Columbia Management Group can more efficiently concentrate its investment management and distribution resources on a more focused group of portfolios. Importantly, the net pro forma total operating expense ratios (after contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) of all Acquiring Fund share classes after the Reorganizations are expected to be lower than they are currently for each corresponding Fund share class.

If shareholder approval is obtained and the other conditions to the Reorganizations are satisfied, it is anticipated that your Fund will be reorganized into its corresponding Acquiring Fund on or about November 18, 2005, when Fund shares will be exchanged for shares of a designated class of shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund of equal dollar value. It is expected that the exchange of shares in each Reorganization will be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE GALAXY FUND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION OF YOUR FUND.

The formal Notice of Special Meeting, Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus and Proxy Ballot are enclosed. The Reorganizations are discussed in more detail in the enclosed materials, which you should read carefully. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at the toll-free number set forth above. We look forward to your attendance at the Meeting or to receiving your Proxy Ballot so that your shares may be voted at the Meeting.

We appreciate your participation and prompt response in these matters and thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

CHRISTOPHER L. WILSON
President and Chief Executive Officer
The Galaxy Fund

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT TO US REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES THAT YOU OWN. PLEASE VOTE BY SUBMITTING YOUR PROXY BALLOT ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS SHOWN ON THE BALLOT.

ITEM 1-APPROVAL OF THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED REORGANIZATIONS

The following is an overview of certain information relating to the proposed Reorganizations. More complete information is contained throughout the Proxy/Prospectus and its Appendices.

Fee Table

The table below shows: (i) the current total operating expense ratios of each Fund; and (ii) the pro forma total operating expense ratios of its corresponding Acquiring Fund. The current total operating expense ratios of each Fund and the pro forma total operating expense ratios of its corresponding Acquiring Fund shown below are both before and after contractual waivers and/or reimbursements, if applicable, and are as of March 31, 2005. The table shows that (after contractual waivers and reimbursements) the net pro forma expense ratios of the Acquiring Funds after the Reorganizations are expected to be lower than they are currently for each corresponding Fund share class.

All expense ratios shown are annualized. Pro forma total operating expense ratios are based upon the fee arrangements that will be in place upon consummation of the Reorganizations and assume in each case that a Fund's shareholders approve their Fund's Reorganization. Detailed pro forma total operating expense information is shown in Appendix C.

Overview of the Reorganization Agreement

The document that governs the Reorganizations is the Reorganization Agreement, a form of which is included in this Proxy/Prospectus as Exhibit B. The Reorganization Agreement provides for: (i) the transfer of all of the assets of each Fund to, and the assumption of all of the liabilities and obligations of each Fund by, its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for a designated class of shares of the Acquiring Fund; (ii) the distribution of the Acquiring Fund shares to Fund shareholders in liquidation of their Fund; and (iii) if the reorganizations of all series of The Galaxy Fund are effected, The Galaxy Fund's deregistration under the 1940 Act and its termination as a business trust under Massachusetts law. In other words, as a result of the Reorganizations, Fund shareholders will become shareholders of the corresponding Acquiring Fund and will hold, immediately after the Reorganizations, Acquiring Fund shares of a similar class that have a total dollar value

4



equal to the total dollar value of the Fund shares that the shareholder held immediately before the Reorganizations.

The Reorganizations are expected to occur on or about November 18, 2005. It is expected that the exchange of Fund shares for corresponding Acquiring Fund shares in each Reorganization will be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Fund shareholders will not pay any sales charge or sales load on the exchange.

Columbia and/or BACAP, in the form of an expense reimbursement to the Funds, will bear all of the out-of-pocket expenses associated with the Reorganizations. Out-of-pocket expenses associated with the Reorganizations include but are not limited to: (i) the expenses associated with the preparation, printing and mailing of any shareholder communications, including this Proxy/Prospectus, and any filings with the SEC and/or other governmental authorities in connection with the Reorganizations; (ii) the fees and expenses of any proxy solicitation firm retained in connection with the Reorganizations; (iii) the legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Reorganizations; and (iv) the Trustees' fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of the Reorganizations.

The Closing of one Reorganization is not dependent on the Closing of any other Reorganization, except in the case of the Galaxy Government Money Market Fund's and Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund's proposed Reorganizations into Columbia Government Plus Reserves, where each Reorganization is contingent on the other. In other words, if either Reorganization is not approved, then neither Fund will reorganize into Columbia Government Plus Reserves under the Reorganization Agreement.

For additional information about the Reorganizations and the Reorganization Agreement, see "More Information about the Reorganizations – Description of the Reorganization Agreement."

Overview of Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies

Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund, Galaxy Government Money Market Fund and Columbia Government Plus Reserves (Acquiring Fund)

The investment objectives of the Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund and Columbia Government Plus Reserves are identical, as each seeks as high a level of current income with liquidity and stability of principal. The investment objective of the Galaxy Government Money Market Fund is similar to the Acquiring Fund in that it seeks current income as is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal.

The principal investment strategies of the Funds and Acquiring Fund are identical. Each of the Funds and the Acquiring Fund invests primarily (under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. Government obligations, including U.S. Treasury obligations and obligations of U.S. Government agencies, authorities, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises, and repurchase agreements backed by these obligations.

Galaxy Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund and Columbia Treasury Reserves (Acquiring Fund)

The investment objectives of the Fund and Acquiring Fund are identical. The Fund seeks to preserve the principal value of a shareholder's investment and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income and the Acquiring Fund seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income.

The principal investment strategies of the Fund and Acquiring Fund are substantially similar. The Fund invests primarily (under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in money market instruments issued by the U.S. Treasury and repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury obligations. Under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in U.S. Treasury obligations, and repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury obligations.

Galaxy Money Market Fund and Columbia Money Market Reserves (Acquiring Fund)

The investment objectives of the Fund and Acquiring Fund are similar. The Fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal, while the Acquiring Fund seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income.

The principal investment strategies of the Fund and Acquiring Fund are similar. The Fund invests primarily in high quality short-term debt obligations of U.S. and foreign issuers. The Acquiring Fund pursues its objective by generally investing in a diversified portfolio of high quality money market instruments with short-term maturities. In addition, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in money market instruments issued by U.S. and foreign banks, and in U.S. Government obligations. The Acquiring Fund, when the portfolio management team believes market conditions warrant, may invest more than 25% of its assets in U.S. dollar denominated bank obligations, including obligations of U.S. banks, foreign branches of U.S. banks and U.S. branches of foreign banks.

Galaxy New York Municipal Money Market Fund and Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Reserves (Acquiring Fund)

The investment objectives of the Fund and Acquiring Fund are similar. The Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and New York State and New York City personal income taxes, consistent with relative stability of principal and liquidity. The Acquiring Fund seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income exempt from New York state individual income tax and U.S. federal income taxes.

The principal investment strategies of the Fund and Acquiring Fund are similar. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in New York municipal securities, which are securities issued by or on behalf of the State of New York and other government issuers (and may include issuers located outside the State of New York) and that pay interest that is exempt from federal regular income tax and New York State and New York City personal income taxes. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest no more than 20% of its net assets in securities that are taxable for federal regular income tax or New York State and New York City personal income tax purposes, such as U.S. Government obligations, money market instruments and repurchase agreements. Under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in securities that pay interest that is free from U.S. federal income tax and New York state individual income tax. The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal securities that finance private projects, called private activity bonds.

Galaxy Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and Columbia Tax-Exempt Reserves (Acquiring Fund)

The investment objectives of the Fund and Acquiring Fund are similar. The Fund seeks as high a level of current interest income exempt from U.S. federal income tax as is consistent with stability of principal. The Acquiring Fund seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income exempt from U.S. federal income taxes.

The principal investment strategies of the Fund and Acquiring Fund are similar. The Fund invests primarily (under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities that pay interest that is exempt from U.S. federal income tax (including the federal alternative minimum tax). The Acquiring Fund normally invests all of its assets in municipal securities which pay interest that is free from U.S. federal income and alternative minimum taxes. In addition, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest no more than 20% of its net assets in taxable obligations, such as U.S. Government obligations, money market instruments and repurchase agreements.

Galaxy U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and Columbia Government Reserves (Acquiring Fund)

The investment objectives of the Fund and Acquiring Fund are similar. The Fund seeks current income with liquidity and stability of principal. The Acquiring Fund seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income.

6



The principal investment strategies of the Fund and Acquiring Fund are similar. The Fund invests primarily in obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury and by certain U.S. Government agencies, authorities, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises that provide income that is generally not subject to state income tax. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes in money market instruments issued by the U.S. Treasury, including bills, notes and bonds. Under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in U.S. Government obligations, which are a broad category of debt obligations that include U.S. Treasury obligations.

For additional information about the similarities and differences between the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the Funds and Acquiring Funds, see "More Information about the Reorganizations – Comparison of Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies."

For a more detailed description, see "More Information about the Reorganizations – Comparison of Purchase, Redemption, Distribution and Exchange Policies and Other Shareholder Transactions and Services."

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The Reorganizations are not expected to result in the recognition of gain or loss, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, by the Funds, the Acquiring Funds or their respective shareholders. However, the sale of securities by any Fund prior to the Reorganizations, whether in the ordinary course of business or in anticipation of the Reorganizations, could result in taxable distributions to such Fund's shareholders. See "More Information about the Reorganizations – Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" for additional information. Since its inception, each of the Funds and Acquiring Funds (other than Columbia Government Plus Reserves, which is a "shell" fund with no assets) believes it has qualified as a "regulated investment company" under the Code. Accordingly, each Fund and Acquiring Fund believes it has been, and expects to continue to be, relieved of any U.S. federal income tax liability on its taxable income and any gains distributed to shareholders. Columbia Government Plus Reserves intends to meet the requirements for qualification as a "regulated investment company" under the Code during its first year of operations and all applicable quarters of such year.

Principal Risk Factors

The following compares the principal investment risks of the Funds and the Acquiring Funds. In some instances, a risk described by a Fund is similar to the risk described by an Acquiring Fund, but identified by different name. For example, "investment strategy risk" applicable to certain Acquiring Funds is similar to "selection of investments" or "share price" applicable to certain Funds. In those instances, the risk, as identified by the Funds, appears in parentheses (i.e., investment strategy (selection of investments/share price) risk). A more detailed description of the risks follows the comparisons below.

Description of Principal Investment Risks

•  Foreign securities (foreign investments)-Foreign securities may be riskier than U.S. investments because of factors such as foreign government restrictions, incomplete financial information about the issuers of securities, and political or economic instability. Foreign securities may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. securities.

•  Holding cash-The Acquiring Fund may hold cash while it is waiting to make an investment, as a temporary defensive strategy, or if the portfolio management team believes that attractive tax-exempt investments are not available. Any uninvested cash the Acquiring Fund holds does not earn income.

•  Income/principal payment (credit) risk-This means generally the risk that the Fund's or Acquiring Fund's ability to pay distributions generally depends on the creditworthiness of the issuers of the securities the Fund or Acquiring Fund holds. The Fund or Acquiring Fund may not be able to pay distributions, or could lose money, if the issuer of a security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. With respect to municipal securities, the ability of a state or local government issuer to make payments can be affected by many factors, including economic conditions, the flow of tax revenues and changes in the level of federal, state or local aid.

•  Interest rate risk-The yield paid by the Fund or Acquiring Fund will vary with changes in short-term interest rates.

•  Investment strategy risk (selection of investments/share price)-The Fund or Acquiring Fund tries to maintain a share price of $1.00, but an investment in the Fund or Acquiring Fund is not guaranteed and may lose money. In addition, although the adviser to the Fund or Acquiring Fund evaluates the risks and rewards presented by all securities purchased by the Fund or Acquiring Fund in pursuing the Fund's or Acquiring Fund's investment objective, such evaluations may prove to be inaccurate.

•  Investment strategy risk (lack of diversification)-For the Galaxy New York Municipal Money Market Fund and Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, this means generally that each Fund is considered to be non-diversified because each Fund invests most of its assets in securities that pay interest that is free from personal income tax in one state. Being non-diversified means the Fund or Acquiring Fund can invest a larger percentage of its assets in a small number of issuers. As a result, a change in the value of any one investment held by the Fund or Acquiring Fund may affect the overall value of the Fund or Acquiring Fund more than it would affect a diversified fund which holds more investments.

10



•  Pass-through certificates risk-The Fund invests in pass-through certificates or securities issued by partnerships or trusts through which the Fund receives principal and interest payments made by underlying municipal bonds or notes. Interest payments from these securities are expected to be tax-exempt. However, these securities are subject to structural risks that could cause the Fund to receive taxable income or to lose money.

•  Repurchase agreements-Repurchase agreements, while backed by collateral, carry some risk that the other party may not fulfill its obligations under the agreement. This could cause the value of your investment to decline.

•  State specific (single state) risk-For the Galaxy New York Municipal Money Market Fund and Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, state-specific risk is the chance that the Fund or Acquiring Fund, because it invests primarily in securities issued by New York State, New York City and New York's other municipalities, is more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in New York than funds that invest in municipal bonds of many different states. The New York State economy is diverse, with a comparatively large share of the nation's financial activities, insurance, transportation, information, education and health services employment and a very small share of the nation's farming and mining activity. Travel and tourism also constitute an important part of the New York State and City economies. Adverse conditions affecting any one of these industries could have a negative impact on the New York State economy and New York municipal securities. Because of the concentration of financial market activity in New York City, monetary policy shifts and the resulting change in the direction of interest rates tend to affect the New York State economy more than the economies of other states. In addition, the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City, the national recession and corporate governance scandals have and may continue to have a significant impact on New York State's finance and insurance sectors.

•  Tax considerations-The distributions paid by Columbia Government Reserves and Columbia Treasury Reserves generally come from interest on U.S. Government and U.S. Treasury obligations, which may be free from state income tax, but will be subject to U.S. federal income tax and may be subject to other state and local taxes. The distributions paid by Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Reserves generally come from interest on New York municipal obligations, which, in turn, generally are free from U.S. federal income tax and New York State and New York City individual income tax, but may be subject to alternative minimum taxes and other state and local taxes. The distributions paid by Columbia Tax-Exempt Reserves generally come from interest on municipal obligations, which, in turn, generally are free from U.S. federal income and alternative minimum taxes, but may be subject to state, local and other taxes. Neither shares of Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Reserves nor shares of Columbia Tax-Exempt Reserves would be a suitable investment for tax-advantaged accounts or tax-exempt investors. The Acquiring Funds generally rely on opinions of the issuer's bond counsel that interest on a bond will be exempt from applicable taxes. Tax authorities are paying increased attention to whether such interest is exempt, and the Acquiring Funds cannot assure shareholders that a tax authority will not successfully challenge the exemption of a bond held by Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Reserves or Columbia Tax-Exempt Reserves. Such a successful challenge would cause interest on such bond to be taxable and could jeopardize Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Reserves' or Columbia Tax-Exempt Reserves' ability to pay any distributions exempt from U.S. federal income tax. For these Acquiring Funds, any portion of a distribution that comes from income from non-exempt sources such as income from other kinds of securities or from realized capital gains generally is subject to federal, state and local taxes. You should consult with your own tax adviser to determine the tax consequences to you of investing in an Acquiring Fund.

•  U.S. Government obligations-Obligations of U.S. Government agencies, authorities, instrumentalities and sponsored enterprises have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, no assurance can be given that the U.S. Government would provide financial support to any of these entities if it is not obligated to do so by law.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATIONS

Description of the Reorganization Agreement

As noted in the Summary of Proposed Reorganizations, the Reorganization Agreement is the governing document of the Reorganizations. Among other things, it provides for: (i) the transfer of all of the assets of each Fund to, and the assumption of all of the liabilities and obligations of each Fund by, its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for a designated class of shares of the Acquiring Fund; (ii) the distribution of the Acquiring Fund shares to Fund shareholders in liquidation of their Fund; and (iii) in the event that the reorganization of all series of The Galaxy Fund are effected, The Galaxy Fund's deregistration as an investment company under the 1940 Act and its termination as a business trust under Massachusetts law. Liabilities include, among other things, rights to indemnification and all limitations of liability existing in favor of The Galaxy Fund's current and former Trustees and officers in effect as of the date of the Reorganization Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement also sets forth representations and warranties of the parties, describes the mechanics of the transaction and includes a number of conditions to the completion of the Reorganizations, including that each party receive an opinion from Morrison & Foerster LLP to the effect that each Reorganization will qualify as a "reorganization" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Reorganization Agreement also provides that if the difference between the per share net asset values of a Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund equals or exceeds $0.001 on the Valuation Date (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement), as computed by using market values in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Acquiring Fund, either party shall have the right to postpone the Closing of the Reorganization until such time as the per share difference is less than $0.001. The Reorganization Agreement may be terminated at any time by mutual agreement of the Boards or, under certain circumstances, by either of the parties.

The Reorganization Agreement further provides that the Closing of one Reorganization is not dependent on the Closing of any other Reorganization, except in the case of the Galaxy Government Money Market Fund's and Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund's proposed Reorganizations into Columbia Government Plus Reserves, where each Reorganization is contingent on the other. In other words, if either Reorganization is not approved, then neither Fund will reorganize into Columbia Government Plus Reserves under the Reorganization Agreement.

If approved by the shareholders of the Funds, the Closing of the Reorganizations is expected to occur on or about November 18, 2005, or such other date as the parties may agree under the Reorganization Agreement. Below is a summary of key terms of the Reorganization Agreement.

•  The Reorganizations will occur on the next business day after the time when the assets of each Fund are valued for the purposes of the Reorganizations.

•  Each Fund will transfer all of its assets to, and all of each Fund's liabilities and obligations will be assumed by, a corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of equal U.S. dollar value of the Acquiring Fund.

•  The shares of each designated class of shares of the Acquiring Fund received by the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the corresponding designated class of the Fund pro rata in accordance with their percentage ownership of such designated class of shares of each Fund in complete liquidation of the Fund.

•  After the Reorganizations and the similar reorganizations of all other series of The Galaxy Fund, the Galaxy Fund's affairs will be wound up in an orderly fashion and it will be deregistered as an investment company under the 1940 Act and terminated as a business trust under Massachusetts law.

•  The Reorganizations require approval by the Funds' shareholders and satisfaction of a number of other conditions. The Reorganization Agreement may be terminated at any time by mutual agreement of the Boards or, under certain conditions, by either of the parties.

Reasons for the Reorganizations and Other Considerations

FleetBoston Financial Corporation ("FleetBoston") was recently acquired by Bank of America Corporation. Prior to this acquisition, Columbia was an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of FleetBoston. As a result of the acquisition, Columbia is now an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation. As a result of the acquisition, certain mutual funds previously offered separately in the Columbia Funds Complex are now offered together in the same distribution and sales channels. Because several funds have overlapping investment objectives and principal investment strategies, and many of the same individuals (who are dual employees of BACAP and Columbia, each a subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation) are responsible for the day-to-day management of overlapping funds, Columbia Management Group, the parent company of both Columbia and BACAP, is proposing to reduce overlap and streamline the Columbia Funds Complex by combining like funds and reducing the number of registered investment companies in the Columbia Funds Complex.

By reducing substantial overlap, Columbia Management Group believes certain inefficiencies in fund marketing, distribution and sales and also potential confusion among investors about investment choices will be eliminated. Columbia Management Group believes that the elimination of inefficiencies and potential confusion among investors will allow the Acquiring Funds to further grow in asset size, which will potentially benefit shareholders to the extent that the increase of fund assets results in financial and operational efficiencies and allows an Acquiring Fund to participate in greater investment opportunities.

Board Consideration

Columbia Management Group proposed the Reorganizations to The Galaxy Fund Board at in-person meetings held on April 22, 2005, June 2, 2005 and July 21, 2005. For the reasons discussed herein, at a meeting held on August 2, 2005, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that the interests of the shareholders of each of the Funds would not be diluted as a result of the proposed Reorganizations, and that the proposed Reorganizations are in the best interests of each of the Funds and their shareholders. The Board was assisted in its determinations by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Galaxy Fund Board has unanimously approved each Reorganization and recommends that shareholders approve the Reorganization of their Fund by approving the Reorganization Agreement.

The Galaxy Fund Board approved the Reorganizations upon consideration of a number of factors, including the following:

•  Columbia Management Group's continuing initiative to streamline and improve product offerings and reduce overlap in the Columbia Funds Complex by eliminating overlapping funds and clarifying investor choices;

•  Various potential shareholder benefits of the Reorganizations (e.g., reduced net expenses, the opportunity to attract more assets and achieve greater economies of scale, and greater diversification of assets thereby reducing exposure to risks);

•  The current asset levels of the Funds and the combined pro forma asset level of each corresponding Acquiring Fund;

•  The relative historical investment performance of each Fund and its Acquiring Fund, although no assurances can be given that the Acquiring Fund will achieve any particular level of performance after the Reorganizations;

•  The expense ratios and information regarding fees and expenses of each Fund share class and its corresponding Acquiring Fund share class before and after each Reorganization, and that, in each case, the net pro forma total operating expense ratios (after contractual fee waivers and expense reimbursements) of each Acquiring Fund share class were lower than those of the corresponding Fund share class;

•  The possibility that the increased asset size of each Acquiring Fund on a post-Reorganization basis could provide each Acquiring Fund with more trading leverage and opportunities to purchase larger securities positions and participate in greater investment opportunities;

•  The similarities and differences in investment objectives, strategies, and risks of each Fund as compared with those of its corresponding Acquiring Fund;

13



•  The similarities and differences in share classes of each Fund as compared with those of its corresponding Acquiring Fund share class;

•  The fact that the shareholders of the Funds will experience no material change in shareholder services as a result of the Reorganizations;

•  Various aspects of the Reorganizations and the Reorganization Agreement, including the legal structure of Columbia Funds Series Trust;

•  The tax consequences of each Reorganization to each Fund and its shareholders, including the expected tax-free nature of each transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, based upon the advice of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, counsel to The Galaxy Fund, generally for state income tax purposes;

•  The fact that the expected costs of the proposed Reorganizations, including the costs incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies, the costs of holding the Meeting, legal fees and accounting fees would, through expense reimbursements to the Funds, be borne by Columbia Management Group or its affiliates and not The Galaxy Fund or the Funds; and

•  The future and potential benefits to Columbia Management Group and its affiliates in that the costs to advise and administer the Acquiring Funds may be reduced if the Reorganizations are approved.

Of particular importance to The Galaxy Fund Board was the fund governance structure of Columbia Funds Series Trust. The Board carefully considered the qualifications and experience of each of the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust and considered that it was appropriate for those Trustees to assume oversight responsibilities for the interests of shareholders of The Galaxy Fund. The Board also considered the current level of fund governance in the Columbia Funds Complex and concluded that the current level was appropriate.

Columbia Management Group proposed the Reorganizations to the Columbia Funds Series Trust Board at a meeting held on July 12, 2005. The Board, all of whose members are Independent Trustees, also approved the Reorganizations, having determined that the interest of shareholders of each of the Acquiring Funds would not be diluted as a result of the proposed Reorganizations and that the proposed Reorganizations are in the best interests of each of the Acquiring Funds and their shareholders.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The obligation of the parties to consummate the Reorganizations is conditioned upon their receipt of an opinion of Morrison & Foerster LLP substantially to the effect that:

a)  The acquisition by an Acquiring Fund of the assets of its corresponding Fund in exchange for the Acquiring Fund's assumption of the liabilities and obligations of the Fund and issuance of Acquiring Fund shares to the Fund, followed by the distribution by the Fund of such Acquiring Fund shares to the shareholders of the Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund, will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund will each be "a party to a reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;

b)  No gain or loss will be recognized by a Fund (i) upon the transfer of its assets to its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for the Acquiring Fund shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the liabilities of the Fund or (ii) upon the distribution of the Acquiring Fund shares by the Fund to its shareholders in liquidation, as contemplated in paragraph (a) hereof;

c)  No gain or loss will be recognized by an Acquiring Fund upon receipt of the assets of its corresponding Fund in exchange for the assumption of liabilities and obligations and issuance of the Acquiring Fund shares;

22



d)  The tax basis of the assets of a Fund in the hands of its corresponding Acquiring Fund will be the same as the tax basis of such assets in the hands of the Fund immediately prior to the transfer, and the holding period of the assets of the Fund in the hands of the Acquiring Fund will include the period during which those assets were held by the Fund;

e)  The holding periods of the assets of a Fund in the hands of its corresponding Acquiring Fund will include the periods during which such assets were held by the Fund;

f)  No gain or loss will be recognized by Fund shareholders upon the exchange of all of their Fund shares for Acquiring Fund shares;

g)  The aggregate tax basis of Acquiring Fund shares to be received by each shareholder of the Fund will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Fund shares exchanged therefor;

h)  A Fund shareholder's holding period for Acquiring Fund shares to be received will include the period during which Fund shares exchanged therefor were held, provided that the shareholder held the Fund shares as a capital asset on the date of the exchange; and

i)  An Acquiring Fund will succeed to and take into account the items of its corresponding Fund described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in Sections 381, 382, 383 and 384 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

The tax opinion described above will be based upon facts, representations and assumptions to be set forth or referred to in the opinion and the continued accuracy and completeness of representations made by each party, including representations in a certificate to be delivered by the management of each party, which if incorrect in any material respect would jeopardize the conclusions reached in the opinion.

Except with respect to Columbia Government Plus Reserves, which is a "shell" fund with no assets, since its formation, each of the Funds and each of the Acquiring Funds believes that it has qualified as a separate "regulated investment company" under the Code. Accordingly, each of the Funds and each of the Acquiring Funds (except Columbia Government Plus Reserves) believes that it has been, and expects to continue to be, relieved of U.S. federal income tax liability to the extent that it makes distributions of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders. Columbia Government Plus Reserves intends to meet the requirements for qualification as a "regulated investment company" under the Code during its first year of operations and all applicable quarters of such year.

Capitalization

The following tables show, on an unaudited basis, the total net assets, number of shares outstanding and net asset value per share of each Fund, each Acquiring Fund, and on a pro forma combined basis. This information is generally referred to as the "capitalization." The term "pro forma capitalization" means the expected capitalization of each Acquiring Fund after it has combined with its corresponding Fund or Funds, i.e., as if the Reorganizations had already occurred. Given that the Reorganization involving the Galaxy Government Money Market Fund and Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund requires shareholders of both Funds to approve that Reorganization in order to consummate the Reorganization, the only possible combination scenario of this Reorganization is both Funds approving the Reorganization (e.g., Fund A + Fund B + Fund C). As such, the capitalization table for this Reorganization reflects only this combination. The accounting survivor in each Reorganization is the Acquiring Fund. In the case of the Reorganization involving the Galaxy Government Money Market Fund and Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund, the accounting survivor is the Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund.

23



These capitalization tables are based on figures as of June 30, 2005 and are for information purposes only. The ongoing investment performance and daily share purchase and redemption activity of the Funds and Acquiring Funds affects capitalization. Therefore, the capitalization at Closing may vary from the capitalization shown in the following tables.

VOTING MATTERS

General Information

This Proxy/Prospectus is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting by The Galaxy Fund Board. It is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail. Officers and service contractors of The Galaxy Fund also may solicit proxies by telephone or otherwise. In addition, Compushare Fund Services, Inc., 280 Oser Avenue, Hauppauge, NY 11788, has been engaged to assist in the solicitation of proxies, at an estimated cost of approximately $1,550 for the Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund, $4,384 for the Galaxy Government Money Market Fund, $6,455 for the Galaxy Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund, $10,923 for the Galaxy Money Market Fund, $3,755 for the Galaxy New York Municipal Money Market Fund, $4,834 for the Galaxy Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and $6,270 for the Galaxy U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. These amounts will not be borne by Fund shareholders. Shareholders may submit their proxy by following the instructions shown on the proxy ballot(s). Any shareholder submitting a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the Meeting by submitting a written notice of revocation addressed to one of the parties at the address shown on the cover page of this Proxy/Prospectus, or a subsequently executed proxy or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

28



Only shareholders of record at the close of business on August 25, 2005 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. The table below reflects the number of shares outstanding of each Fund on that date.

Fund   Outstanding Shares on the Record Date  
Galaxy Government Money Market Fund     235,079,811    
Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund     510,653,930    
Galaxy Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund     704,623,118    
Galaxy Money Market Fund     1,101,146,125    
Galaxy New York Municipal Money Market Fund     178,280,084    
Galaxy Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund     3,286,400,759    
Galaxy U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund     323,007,015    

 

Each whole and fractional share of a Fund is entitled to a whole or fractional vote.

If the accompanying proxy ballot is executed and returned in time for the Meeting, the shares covered thereby will be voted in accordance with the proxy on all matters that may properly come before the Meeting.

The Closing of one Reorganization is not dependent on the Closing of any other Reorganization, except in the case of the Galaxy Government Money Market Fund's and Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund's proposed Reorganizations into Columbia Government Plus Reserves, where each Reorganization is contingent on the other. In other words, if either Reorganization is not approved, then neither Fund will reorganize into Columbia Government Plus Reserves.

Shareholders who object to the Reorganization of their Fund by the corresponding Acquiring Fund will not be entitled under Massachusetts law or The Galaxy Fund's Declaration of Trust to demand payment for, or an appraisal of, their shares. Shareholders may redeem their Fund shares at any time prior to the consummation of the Reorganizations.

Quorum

Shareholders of record on August 25, 2005 are entitled to attend and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment of a Meeting. A quorum is constituted with respect to each Fund by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting, abstentions will be treated as shares that are present at the Meeting but which have not been voted. Accordingly, abstentions will have the effect of a "no" vote for purposes of obtaining the requisite approval of the Reorganization Agreement. Broker "non-votes" (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will be treated the same as abstentions.

In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting with respect to a particular Fund, or in the event that a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve the Reorganization Agreement are not received by a particular Fund, one or more adjournment(s) may be proposed to permit further solicitation of proxies in order to obtain a requisite vote. The Meeting may be adjourned for a reasonable period of time. Any such adjournment(s) will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of shares of the Fund(s) affected by the adjournment(s) that are represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy. If a quorum is present, the persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote FOR the particular proposal for which a quorum exists in favor of such adjournment(s), and will vote those proxies required to be voted AGAINST such proposal against any adjournment(s). The persons named as proxies will not vote any proxy that directs them to abstain from voting on a particular proposal.

Shareholder Approval

The Reorganization Agreement

Approval of the Reorganization Agreement will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of each Fund, voting separately with respect to the Reorganization of each such Fund. With respect to the

29



approval of the Reorganization Agreement, the term "majority of the outstanding shares" of a Fund means more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

A vote of the shareholders of the Acquiring Funds is not being solicited, since their approval or consent is not necessary for the Reorganizations.

Principal Shareholders

The table below shows the name, address and share ownership of each person known to the Trusts to have ownership with respect to 5% or more of a class of each Fund and Acquiring Fund as of August 25, 2005. Each shareholder is known to own as of record the shares indicated below. Any shareholder known to the Trusts to own such shares beneficially is designated by an asterisk.

For purposes of the 1940 Act, any person who owns directly or through one or more controlled companies more than 25% of the voting securities of a company is presumed to "control" such company. Accordingly, to the extent that a shareholder identified in the foregoing table is identified as the beneficial holder of more than 25% of a class, or is identified as the holder of record of more than 25% of a class and has voting and/or investment power, it may be presumed to control such class.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Legal Proceedings

On February 9, 2005, BACAP and BACAP Distributors, LLC entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General (the "NYAG Settlement") and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the SEC (the "SEC Order"). A copy of the NYAG Settlement is available as part of the Bank of America Corporation Form 8-K filing on February 10, 2005 and a copy of the SEC Order is available on the SEC's website. Under the terms of the NYAG Settlement and the SEC Order, BACAP and BACAP Distributors, LLC have agreed, among other things, to pay disgorgement and civil money penalties, to undertake various remedial measures to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws related to certain mutual fund trading practices, to retain an independent consultant to review their applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures and to reduce management fees for five years. BACAP and BACAP Distributors, LLC are currently in the process of implementing the various terms of the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order.

In connection with the events that resulted in the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order, various parties filed suits against Columbia Funds Series Trust (formerly known as Nations Funds Trust), its Board of Trustees, Bank of America Corporation and certain of its affiliates, including BACAP and BACAP Distributors, LLC (collectively "BAC"). On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against several other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the Untied States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the "MDL"). Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL. On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints. One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia Funds Series Trust, the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust, BAC and others as defendants. Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds Series Trust against BAC and others that asserts claims under the federal securities laws and state common law. Columbia Funds Series Trust is a nominal defendant in this action. The MDL is ongoing. Accordingly, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any series of Columbia Funds Series Trust, if any, cannot currently be made.

Separately, a putative class action (Reinke v. Bank of America N.A., et al.) was filed against Columbia Funds Series Trust and others on December 16, 2004 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri relating to the conversion of common trust funds and the investment of assets held in fiduciary accounts in the series of Columbia Funds Series Trust. Columbia Funds Series Trust has filed a motion to dismiss that is pending, and no discovery had been taken. At the present time, we cannot predict what liability, if any, Columbia Funds Series Trust will have in this matter.

Other Business

The Boards know of no other business to be brought before the Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention that proxies, which do not contain specific restrictions to the contrary, will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy.

2.  Transfer of Assets of Acquired Funds in Exchange for Assumption of Liabilities.

2.1  Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein,

(a)  Each Acquired Fund will transfer and deliver to its corresponding Acquiring Fund, and such Acquiring Fund will acquire, all the assets described in paragraph 2.2 of its corresponding Acquired Fund as set forth in Appendix A;

(b)  Each Acquiring Fund will assume all Obligations of its corresponding Acquired Fund; except that expenses of its Reorganization contemplated hereby to be allocated to each Acquired Fund pursuant to paragraph 10.2 shall not be assumed or paid by the Acquiring Fund; and

(c)  Each Acquiring Fund will issue and deliver to its corresponding Acquired Fund in exchange for such assets a number of Acquisition Shares equal in U.S. dollar value to the assets exchanged therefor. Such transactions shall take place at the Closing provided for in Section 4.

2.2  The assets of each Acquired Fund to be acquired by its corresponding Acquiring Fund shall consist of all cash, securities, dividends and interest receivable, receivables for shares sold and all other assets which are owned by the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date and any deferred expenses, other than unamortized organizational expenses, shown as an asset on the books of the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date. Each Acquiring Fund agrees that all rights to indemnification and all limitations of liability existing in favor of The Galaxy Fund's current and former Board Members and officers, acting in their capacities as such, under The Galaxy Fund's Charter Documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement shall survive each Acquired Fund's Reorganization as obligations of Columbia Funds Series Trust, on behalf of each Acquiring Fund, and shall continue in full force and effect, without any amendment thereto, and shall constitute rights which may be asserted against Columbia Funds Series Trust, on behalf of each Acquiring Fund, their successors or assigns.

2.3  On the Liquidation Date, each Acquired Fund will liquidate and distribute pro rata to its Acquired Fund Shareholders, determined as of the close of business on the Valuation Date, Acquisition Shares received by the Acquired Fund pursuant to paragraph 2.1. Such liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by the transfer of the Acquisition Shares then credited to the account of each Acquired Fund on the books of its corresponding Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund Shareholders and representing the respective pro rata number of Acquisition Shares due such Acquired Fund Shareholders.

2.4  With respect to Acquisition Shares distributable to an Acquired Fund Shareholder holding a certificate or certificates for shares of an Acquired Fund, if any, on the Valuation Date, Columbia Funds Series Trust will not distribute a certificate representing Acquisition Shares exchanged therefor, exchange such Acquisition Shares for shares of other investment companies, effect an account transfer of such Acquisition Shares, or pledge or redeem such Acquisition Shares until Columbia Funds Series Trust has been notified by The Galaxy Fund, on behalf of an Acquired Fund, or its agent that such Acquired Fund Shareholder has surrendered all of his or her outstanding certificates for Acquired Fund shares or, in the event of lost certificates, posted adequate bond.

B-2



2.5  Promptly following the liquidation of each Acquired Fund and the similar liquidation of all other series of The Galaxy Fund, The Galaxy Fund shall file an application pursuant to Section 8(f) of the 1940 Act, for an order declaring that it has ceased to be an investment company and, upon receipt of such order, shall make all filings and take all other steps as shall be necessary and proper to effect its complete dissolution or termination under state law. After the Closing Date, no Acquired Fund shall conduct any business except in connection with its liquidation, or The Galaxy Fund's deregistration and dissolution or termination.

3.  Valuation.

3.1  For the purpose of Section 2, the value of an Acquired Fund's assets to be acquired by its corresponding Acquiring Fund hereunder shall be the net asset value computed as of the close of regular trading on the Valuation Date using the Acquiring Funds' valuation procedures, and shall be certified by such Acquired Fund. The net asset value of the Acquisition Shares shall be based on the amortized cost procedures that have been adopted by the Board of Columbia Funds Series Trust. The net asset value of each Acquired Fund's assets to be acquired by each corresponding Acquiring Fund shall be based on the amortized cost procedures that have been adopted by the Board of The Galaxy Fund; provided that if the difference between the per share net asset values of an Acquired Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund equals or exceeds $0.001 on the Valuation Date, as computed by using market values in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Acquiring Fund, The Galaxy Fund or Columbia Funds Series Trust shall have the right to postpone the Valuation Date and the Closing Date until such time as the per share difference is less than $0.001.

4.  Closing and Closing Date.

4.1  The Closing Date shall be November 18, 2005, or such other date as the parties may agree. The Closing shall be held at 4:00 p.m. at Columbia's offices, One Financial Center, Boston, Massachusetts 02111, or at such other time and/or place as the parties may agree.

4.2  The portfolio securities of each Acquired Fund shall be made available by such Acquired Fund to the Custodian, for examination no later than five business days preceding the Valuation Date. On the Closing Date, such portfolio securities and all cash of each Acquired Fund shall be delivered by such Acquired Fund to the Custodian for the account of its corresponding Acquiring Fund, such portfolio securities to be duly endorsed in proper form for transfer in such manner and condition as to constitute good delivery thereof in accordance with the custom of brokers or, in the case of portfolio securities held in the U.S. Treasury Department's book-entry system or by the Depository Trust Company, Participants Trust Company or other third party depositories, by transfer to the account of the Custodian in accordance with Rule 17f-4, Rule 17f-5 or Rule 17f-7, as the case may be, under the 1940 Act and accompanied by all necessary federal and state stock transfer stamps or a check for the appropriate purchase price thereof. The cash delivered shall be in the form of currency or certified or official bank checks, payable to the order of "State Street Bank and Trust Company, custodian for [insert Acquiring Fund name]."

4.3  In the event that on the Valuation Date (a) the New York Stock Exchange shall be closed to trading or trading thereon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on said Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of an Acquired Fund or its corresponding Acquiring Fund is impracticable, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored; provided that if trading shall not be fully resumed and reporting restored within three business days of the Valuation Date, this Agreement may be terminated by either The Galaxy Fund, with regard to its Acquired Funds, or Columbia Funds Series Trust, with regard to its Acquiring Funds, upon the giving of written notice to the other party.

B-3



4.4  At the Closing, each Acquired Fund or its transfer agent shall deliver to its corresponding Acquiring Fund or its designated agent a list of the names and addresses of the Acquired Fund Shareholders and the number of outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Acquired Fund owned by each Acquired Fund Shareholder, all as of the close of business on the Valuation Date, certified by an officer of The Galaxy Fund, on behalf of the Acquired Fund. Columbia Funds Series Trust, on behalf of each Acquiring Fund, will provide to the corresponding Acquired Fund evidence satisfactory to the Acquired Fund that the Acquisition Shares to be issued pursuant to paragraph 2.1 have been credited to the Acquired Fund's account on the books of the Acquiring Fund. On the Liquidation Date, Columbia Funds Series Trust will provide to each Acquired Fund evidence satisfactory to the Acquired Fund that such Acquisition Shares have been credited pro rata to open accounts in the names of the Acquired Fund Shareholders.

4.5  At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills of sale, instruments of assumption of liabilities, checks, assignments, stock certificates, receipts or other documents as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request in connection with the transfer of assets, assumption of liabilities and liquidation contemplated by this Agreement.

5.  Representations and Warranties.

5.1  The Galaxy Fund, for itself and on behalf of each Acquired Fund, represents and warrants the following to Columbia Funds Series Trust, on behalf of itself and each Acquiring Fund, as of the date hereof (except where a representation or warranty is qualified as only effective at the Closing Date) and agrees to confirm the continuing accuracy and completeness in all material respects of the following on the Closing Date:

(a)  The Galaxy Fund is a business trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts;

(b)  The Galaxy Fund is a duly registered investment company classified as a management company of the open-end type and its registration with the SEC as an investment company under the 1940 Act is in full force and effect, and each Acquired Fund is a separate series thereof, duly designated in accordance with the applicable provisions of The Galaxy Fund's Charter Documents and the 1940 Act;

(c)  The Galaxy Fund is not in violation in any material respect of any provision of The Galaxy Fund's Charter Documents or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which The Galaxy Fund is a party or by which any Acquired Fund, is bound, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not result in any such violation;

(d)  The Galaxy Fund has no material contracts or other commitments (other than this Agreement and such other contracts as may be entered into in the ordinary course of its business) which if terminated may result in material liability to any Acquired Fund or under which (whether or not terminated) any material payments for periods subsequent to the Closing Date will be due from any Acquired Fund;

(e)  Except as has been disclosed in writing to Columbia Funds Series Trust, or otherwise known by the officers of Columbia Funds Series Trust, no litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is presently pending or threatened as to any Acquired Fund, any of the properties or assets of any Acquired Fund, or any person whom any Acquired Fund may be obligated to indemnify in connection with such litigation, proceeding or investigation, and neither The Galaxy Fund nor any Acquired Fund is a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body, which materially and adversely affects its business or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;

B-4



(f)  The most recent statement of assets and liabilities, the statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the schedule of investments of each Acquired Fund, audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, copies of which have been furnished to each corresponding Acquiring Fund, fairly reflect the financial condition and results of operations of the Acquired Fund as of such dates and for the periods then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and the Acquired Fund has no known liabilities of a material amount, contingent or otherwise, other than those shown on the statements of assets referred to above or those incurred in the ordinary course of its business since the end of its most recent fiscal year or fiscal six-month period, whichever is more recent;

(g)  Since the end of its most recent fiscal year or fiscal six-month period, whichever is more recent, there has not been any material adverse change in any Acquired Fund's financial condition, assets, liabilities or business (other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business), or any incurrence by any Acquired Fund of indebtedness, except as disclosed in writing to its corresponding Acquiring Fund. For the purposes of this subparagraph (g), distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains, changes in portfolio securities, changes in the market value of portfolio securities or net redemptions shall be deemed to be in the ordinary course of business;

(h)  As of the Closing Date, all federal and other tax returns and reports of each Acquired Fund required by law to have been filed by such date (giving effect to extensions) shall have been filed, and all federal and other taxes shown to be due on such returns and reports or on any assessment received shall have been paid, or provisions shall have been made for the payment thereof. All of each Acquired Fund's tax liabilities will have been adequately provided for on its books. To the best of each Acquired Fund's knowledge, it will not have had any tax deficiency or liability asserted against it or question with respect thereto raised, and it will not be under audit by the Internal Revenue Service or by any state or local tax authority for taxes in excess of those already paid;

(i)  Each Acquired Fund meets the requirements of subchapter M of the Code for treatment as a "regulated investment company" within the meaning of Section 851 of the Code, and will continue meeting such requirements at all times through the Closing Date. Each Acquired Fund has not at any time since its inception been liable for, nor is it now liable for, any material income or excise tax pursuant to Section 852 or 4982 of the Code. Each Acquired Fund has duly filed all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns which are required to have been filed, and all taxes of the Acquired Fund which are due and payable have been paid except for amounts that alone or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect. Each Acquired Fund is in compliance in all material respects with applicable regulations of the Internal Revenue Service pertaining to the reporting of dividends and other distributions on and redemptions of its capital stock and to withholding in respect of dividends and other distributions to shareholders, and is not liable for any material penalties which could be imposed thereunder;

(j)  All issued and outstanding shares of each Acquired Fund are, and at the Closing Date will be, duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable by The Galaxy Fund and will have been issued in compliance with all applicable registration or qualification requirements of federal and state securities laws. No options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase, or securities convertible into, any shares of beneficial interest of any Acquired Fund are outstanding and none will be outstanding on the Closing Date;

(k)  Each Acquired Fund's investment operations from inception to the date hereof have been in compliance in all material respects with the investment policies and investment restrictions set forth in the applicable Acquired Fund Prospectus as in effect from time to time, except as previously disclosed in writing to the Acquiring Fund;

B-5



(l)  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by the Board of The Galaxy Fund, and, upon approval thereof by the requisite majority of the shareholders of each Acquired Fund, this Agreement will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Acquired Fund enforceable in accordance with its terms except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and other equitable principles;

(m)  The Acquisition Shares to be issued to each Acquired Fund pursuant to Section 2 will not be acquired for the purpose of making any distribution thereof other than to the Acquired Fund Shareholders as provided in paragraph 2.3;

(n)  The information provided by each Acquired Fund for use in the Registration Statement and Prospectus/Proxy Statement referred to in paragraph 6.3 shall be accurate and complete in all material respects and shall comply with federal securities and other laws and regulations as applicable thereto;

(o)  No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental authority is required for the consummation by any Acquired Fund of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such as may be required under the 1933 Act, 1934 Act, 1940 Act and state securities or "Blue Sky" laws (which term as used herein shall include the laws of the District of Columbia and of Puerto Rico);

(p)  At the Closing Date, each Acquired Fund will have good and marketable title to its assets to be transferred to its corresponding Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 2.1 and will have full right, power and authority to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the Investments and any other assets and liabilities of such Acquired Fund to be transferred to its corresponding Acquiring Fund pursuant to this Agreement.

COMPARISON OF FEES AND EXPENSES

The tables below describe the fees and expenses associated with holding Fund and Acquiring Fund shares, as of March 31, 2005. In particular, the tables compare the fees and expenses for each class of each Fund and the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund, and show the estimated fees and expenses for each combined Acquiring Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to each Reorganization.

The operating expense levels shown in this Proxy/Prospectus assume net asset levels; pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated levels but may be greater or less than those shown.

• Fee waivers and/or reimbursements     (0.00 )%     (0.12 )%(3)   
• Total net expenses     0.31 %     0.20 %  

 

(1)  The Fund and Acquiring Fund pay an investment advisory fee of 0.20% and an administration fee of 0.07%.

(2)  The Fund's investment adviser is voluntarily waiving a portion of the management fees so that such fees are expected to be 0.16%. This fee waiver may be revised or discontinued at any time. Total annual fund operating expenses after this fee waiver are expected to be 0.20%.

(3)  The Acquiring Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Acquiring Fund's expenses so that the Acquiring Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution and service fees, tax and interest expense) do not exceed 0.20% annually, for one year after the Closing.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund and Acquiring Fund before voluntary fee waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund and Acquiring Fund, reinvest all distributions for the time periods indicated, and then either redeem or do not redeem, all of your shares at the end of the periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund and Acquiring Fund Total annual fund operating expenses remain the same.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

(3)  The Fund may pay shareholder service fees (which are included in Other expenses) at a maximum annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Select Shares (comprised of up to 0.25% for shareholder liaison services and up to 0.25% for shareholder administrative support services) but will limit such fees to an aggregate fee of not more than 0.15% during the current fiscal year. Affiliates of Columbia are waiving a portion of the shareholder service fees so that Other expenses are expected to be 0.14%.

COMPARISON OF ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

The bar charts on the following pages show an investor how the Funds and their corresponding Acquiring Funds have performed in the past, and can help shareholders understand the risks of an investment in the Funds and their corresponding Acquiring Funds. A Fund's or Acquiring Fund's past performance is no guarantee of how it will perform in the future. Each bar chart shows year-by-year total return (%) as of December 31 of each year.

The tables on the following pages show an investor the average annual total return for each class of shares of the Funds and Acquiring Funds for the periods ended December 31, 2004.

No performance is shown for Columbia Government Plus Reserves because it is a "shell" fund that currently has no assets. No performance is shown for the Retail A Class Shares and G-Trust Class Shares of the Acquiring Funds because they are "shell" classes that currently have no assets. Instead, performance for other classes not involved in the Reorganizations (e.g., Trust Class Shares, Adviser Class Shares and Capital Class Shares) has been shown because they have similar annual returns as a result of the fact that the shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.

APPENDIX F

COMPARISON OF ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS AND GOVERNING LAW

The table below summarizes the significant differences between the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of Columbia Funds Series Trust (the "Proposed Surviving Trust") and the Declaration of Trust and Code of Regulations of The Galaxy Fund (the "Acquired Trust"). For additional information, shareholders of any Fund should refer directly to such documents, copies of which may be obtained by contacting Columbia Funds Series Trust at its address or telephone number listed on the cover page of this Proxy/Prospectus.(1)

    Proposed Surviving Trust: Columbia Funds Series Trust   Acquired Trust: The Galaxy Fund  
Shareholder Liability:   If any shareholder or former shareholder shall be exposed to liability by reason of a claim or demand relating solely to his being or having been a shareholder, and not because of his acts or omissions, the shareholder or former shareholder (or his heirs, executors, administrators, or other legal representatives or in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or other general successor) shall be entitled to be held harmless from and indemnified out of the assets of the Trust against all loss and expense arising from such claim or demand.
Any person extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against any series may look only to the assets of that series to satisfy or enforce any debt, with respect to that series.
  Shareholders shall not be subject to any personal liability in connection with the assets of the Trust for the acts or obligations of the Trust. The Trustees shall have no power to bind any shareholder personally or to call upon any shareholder for the payment of any sum of money or assessment whatsoever other than such as the shareholder may at any time personally agree to pay by way of subscription to any shares or otherwise. Every obligation, contract, instrument, certificate, share, other security of any class of shares or undertaking, and every other act whatsoever executed in connection with the Trust or any class of shares shall be conclusively presumed to have been executed or done by the executors thereof only in their capacities as Trustees under the Declaration of Trust or in their capacity as officers, employees or agents of the Trust and not individually. Every note, bond, contract, order or other undertaking issued by or on behalf of the Trust or the Trustees relating to the Trust or any class of shares, and the stationery used by the Trust, shall include a recitation limiting the obligation represented thereby to the Trust and its assets (but the omission of such a recitation shall not operate to bind any shareholder).
The rights accruing to a shareholder under the foregoing paragraph shall not exclude any other right to which such shareholder may be lawfully entitled, nor shall anything herein contained restrict the right of the Trust to indemnify or reimburse a shareholder in any appropriate situation even though not specifically provided for herein, provided that a shareholder of any class of shares shall be indemnified only from assets belonging to such class.
In case any shareholder or former shareholder shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of his being or having been a shareholder and not because of his acts or omissions outside such capacity or for some other reason, the shareholder or former shareholder (or his heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives or, in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or other general successor) shall be entitled out of the assets belonging to the class(es) of shares owned by such shareholder to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability. The Trust shall, upon request by the shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the Trust and satisfy any judgment thereon from such assets.
 

 

(1)  All references to any class of shares in The Galaxy Fund's Declaration of Trust, as amended, shall include and refer to the shares of any series thereof.

F-1



    Proposed Surviving Trust: Columbia Funds Series Trust   Acquired Trust: The Galaxy Fund  
Shareholder Voting Rights:   Shareholders have only the voting powers expressly granted under the 1940 Act or under Delaware law applicable to business trusts and have the right to vote on other matters only as the Board of Trustees may consider desirable and so authorize. Currently the 1940 Act requires that shareholders have the right to vote, under certain circumstances, to: (a) elect Trustees; (b) approve investment advisory agreements and principal underwriting agreements; (c) approve a change in subclassification; (d) approve any change in fundamental investment policies; (e) approve a distribution plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act; and (f) terminate the Trust's independent public accountant. Shareholders have the right to call special meetings and vote to remove Trustees but only if and to the extent that the SEC staff takes the position by rule, interpretive or other public release, or by no-action letter, that Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act gives them such right.   Shareholders have power to vote (a) for the election of Trustees, (b) to the same extent as the shareholders of a Massachusetts business corporation when considering whether a court action, proceeding or claim should or should not be brought or maintained derivatively or as a class action on behalf of the Trust or the shareholders, (c) with respect to certain matters relating to merger, consolidation, sale of assets or incorporation, (d) with respect to such additional matters relating to the Trust as may be required by law, by the Declaration of Trust, the Code of Regulations of the Trust, by any requirement applicable to or agreement of the Trust, and as the Trustees may consider desirable. There shall be no cumulative voting.  
Shareholder Meetings:   A meeting of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Board or by the Chairman of the Board or by the President. Shareholders have the right to call special meetings and vote to remove Trustees, but only if and to the extent that the SEC staff takes the position by rule, interpretive or other public release, or by no-action letter, that Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act gives them such right.   Meetings of shareholders may be called by the Trustees as provided in the Code of Regulations and shall be called by the Trustees whenever required by law or upon the written request of shareholders owning at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.  
Shareholder Quorum:   Except when required by applicable law or by the Declaration of Trust, thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting shall constitute a quorum. When any one or more series or classes is to vote on a separate matter, 33 1/3% of the shares of each such series or class entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum.   At any meeting of shareholders, a quorum for the transaction of business shall consist of a majority of the shares of each class outstanding and entitled to vote appearing in person or by proxy, provided that at any meeting at which the only actions to be taken are actions required by the 1940 Act to be taken by vote of all outstanding shares of all classes entitled to vote thereon, irrespective of class, a quorum shall consist of a majority of the shares (without regard to class) entitled to vote thereon, and that at any meeting at which the only actions to be taken shall have been determined by the Board of Trustees to affect the rights and interests of one or more but not all classes of outstanding shares, a quorum shall consist of a majority of the outstanding shares of that class or classes so affected.  
Required Shareholder Vote:   When a quorum is present, a majority of the shares represented at a meeting shall decide any matters and a plurality shall elect a Trustee, except when a larger vote is required by the Declaration of Trust or applicable law.   Unless otherwise required by the Declaration of Trust, the 1940 Act or other applicable law or regulations, a majority of shares entitled to vote on any question shall determine such question, except that in the election of Trustees, a plurality of shares voting, irrespective of class, shall elect a Trustee.  
Shareholder Action by Written Consent:   Majority written consent of the shares entitled to vote on the matter (or any larger proportion as is expressly required by the Declaration of Trust) and holding a majority (or any larger proportion required) of the shares of any series or class entitled to vote separately on the matter is required for shareholder action taken without a meeting. The written consents must be filed with the records of the meetings of shareholders. Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote taken at a meeting of shareholders.   Any action which may be taken by shareholders may be taken without a meeting if not less than a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote on the matter consent to the action in writing and the written consents are filed with the records of the meetings of shareholders. Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote taken at a meeting of shareholders.  
Shareholder Adjournment   Any meeting of Shareholders may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes whether or not a quorum is present.   Reasonable adjournments of a meeting of shareholders until a quorum is obtained may be made by vote of the shares present in person or by proxy.

    Proposed Surviving Trust: Columbia Funds Series Trust   Acquired Trust: The Galaxy Fund  
Notice to Shareholders:   Notice of shareholder meetings is to be given either personally, or by telephone, first-class mail, express mail, overnight mail, telegram, electronic mail, telefacsimile, internet or other similar electronic medium, charges prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the address of that shareholder appearing on the books of the Trust or its transfer agent or given by the shareholder to the Trust for the purpose of notice not less than seven (7) nor more than one hundred and twenty (120) days before the date of the meeting. Unless otherwise required by the 1940 Act, notice need not state the purpose for which the meeting is called.   Written notice, stating the place, day and hour of each meeting of the shareholders and the general nature of the business to be transacted shall be given by, or at the direction of, the person calling the meeting to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting at least ten (10) days prior to the day named for the meeting, unless in a particular case a longer period of notice is required by law.  
Shareholder Proxies:   Shares may be voted in person or by proxy or in any manner authorized by the Trustees. If a proposal by anyone other than the officers or Trustees is submitted to a vote of the shareholders of any series or class, or if there is a proxy contest or proxy solicitation or proposal in opposition to any proposal by the officers or Trustees, shares may be voted only in person or by written proxy unless the Trustees specifically authorize other permissible methods of transmission.   Shares may be voted in person or by proxy.  
Trustee's Power to Amend Declaration of Trust:   The Declaration of Trust may be amended by the Trustees without shareholder approval unless expressly required by the 1940 Act or Delaware law, and all shareholders purchase shares with notice that the Declaration of Trust may be so amended unless expressly required by the 1940 Act or Delaware law.   The Declaration of Trust may be amended upon a resolution to that effect being adopted by the Board of Trustees and approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares, voting separately by class except to the extent that the 1940 Act may require voting without regarding to class.
The Trustees may amend the Declaration of Trust without a vote of shareholders to change the name of the Trust or to cure any error or ambiguity or if they deem it necessary to conform the Declaration of Trust to the requirements of applicable state or federal laws or regulations, including without limitation, the requirements of the regulated investment company provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, but the Trustees shall not be liable for failing so to do.
The Declaration of Trust may not be amended in any manner whatsoever that would impair the exemption from personal liability of the Trustees and shareholders of the Trust or that would permit an assessment upon any shareholder.
 
Termination of Trust or Series/Class:   Except to the extent the 1940 Act expressly grants shareholders the power to vote on such terminations, the Trust, or any series thereof, may be terminated at any time by the Board with written notice to shareholders. To the extent the 1940 Act expressly grants shareholders the power to vote on such terminations, the Trust, or any series thereof, may be terminated by a vote of a majority of the shares of the Trust voting in the aggregate, or a majority of the shares of such series, entitled to vote.   The Trust shall continue without limitation, provided that the Trust or any class of shares may be terminated at any time in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of Trust and applicable law.
The Trustees may, without the vote of the shares of any class then outstanding (unless otherwise required by applicable law), terminate a class by selling and conveying the assets belonging to a class of shares to another trust or corporation that is a management investment company (as defined in the 1940 Act and is organized under the laws of any state of the United States); by selling and converting the assets belonging to a class of shares into money and, after making provisions for the payment of all obligations, taxes and other liabilities of such class, either (i) redeem all outstanding shares of such class or (ii) combine the assets belonging to the class with the assets belonging to one or more other classes of shares of the Trust as described hereafter; or by combining the assets belonging to a class of shares with the assets belonging to any one or more other classes of shares if the Trustees reasonably determine that such combination will not have a material adverse effect on the shareholders of any class participating in such combination.

    Proposed Surviving Trust: Columbia Funds Series Trust   Acquired Trust: The Galaxy Fund  
Merger or Consolidation of Trust or Series:   Except to the extent the 1940 Act expressly grants shareholders the power to vote on the matters below, the Board may cause:
(i) the Trust to be merged into or consolidated with another trust or company;
(ii) a series of the Trust to be merged into or consolidated with another series of the Trust or other trust or company;
(iii) the shares of a class of a series to be converted into another class of the same series;
(iv) the shares of the Trust or any series to be converted into beneficial interests in another business trust (or its series); or
(v) the shares of the Trust or any series to be exchanged for shares in another trust or company pursuant to any state or federal statute to the extent permitted by law without shareholder approval with written notice to the shareholders. To the extent the 1940 Act expressly grants shareholders the right to vote on such transactions, a vote of the majority of the shares (or of the series) entitled to vote and voting in the aggregate is required to approve such transaction.
These provisions established by the Declaration of Trust eliminate any right to vote on a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or conversion that might otherwise be conferred by Sections 3815, 3821 or any other provision of the Delaware Business Trust Act.
  The Trust may merge into or consolidate with any other corporation, association, trust or other organization or may sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of its assets, including its good will, upon such terms and conditions and for such consideration when and as authorized by vote or written consent of the Trustees and approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote, voting separately by class except to the extent that the 1940 Act may require voting without regard to class, or by an instrument(s) in writing without a meeting consented to by the holders of not less than two-thirds of such shares, voting separately by class except to the extent that the 1940 Act may require voting without regard to class, and by the vote or written consent of the holders of two-thirds of the shares of each class of shares, provided that if such merger, consolidation, sale, lease or exchange is recommended by the Trustees, such may be approved by a vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of each class, voting separately by class.  
Removal of Trustees:   A Trustee may be removed with or without cause at any time by a written instrument signed by at least two-thirds of the other Trustees specifying the effective date of removal. Additionally, if required by Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act, any Trustee may be removed at any shareholder meeting by a vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares.   Any Trustee may be removed at any time or with or without cause by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal, specifying the date when such removal shall become effective. Any trustee who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees.  
Trustee Committees:   The Trust shall have a standing Audit Committee and a standing Nominating Committee and the Board may abolish any other committees except these at any time. Any committee formed by the Board has the authority of the Board, to the extent provided in the Board resolution, except with respect to:
(i) the approval of any action which, under applicable law, also requires shareholder approval or approval of the outstanding shares, or requires approval by a majority of the Board or certain Board members;
(ii) the filling of vacancies on the Board or any committees;
(iii) the fixing of compensation of the Trustees for serving on the Board or on any committee;
(iv) the amendment or repeal of the Declaration of Trust;
(v) the amendment or repeal of any Board resolution that by its express terms is not amendable or repealable; and
(vi) the appointment of any other Board committees or committee members.
  The Trustees may by resolution passed by a majority of the Trustees appoint from among their members an executive committee and other committees composed of two or more Trustees, and may delegate to such committees, in the intervals between meetings of the Trustees, any or all of the powers of the Trustees in the management of the business and affairs of the Trust, except the power to issue shares in the Trust or to recommend to shareholders any action requiring shareholders' approval.

    Proposed Surviving Trust: Columbia Funds Series Trust   Acquired Trust: The Galaxy Fund  
Trustee Liability:   Each Trustee may be liable only by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the Trustee's office.   Every act or thing done or omitted, and every power exercised or obligation incurred by the Trustees or any of them in the administration of the Trust or in connection with any affairs, property or concerns of the Trust, whether ostensibly in their own names in their Trust capacity, shall be done, omitted, exercised or incurred by them as Trustees and not as individuals. Every person contracting or dealing with the Trustees or having any debt, claim or judgment against them or any of them shall look only to the funds and property of the Trust for payment or satisfaction. No Trustee(s) of the Trust shall ever be personally liable for or on account of any contract, debt, tort, claim, damage, judgment or decree relating to the administration or preservation of the assets of the Trust or the conduct of any of the affairs of the Trust.
No Trustee shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to any person for any action or failure to act (including without limitation the failure to compel in any way any former or acting Trustee to redress any breach of trust) but nothing in the Declaration of Trust shall protect any Trustee from any liability to the Trust or its shareholders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of his duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of his obligations and duties as Trustee; and that all persons shall look solely to the assets of the Trust belonging to a class of shares for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection with the affairs of such class of the Trust.
 
Trustee Indemnification:   The Trust shall indemnify a Trustee who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Trust) against all amounts incurred in connection with such proceeding if it is determined that the Trustee acted in good faith and reasonably believed:
(i) in the case of conduct in his official capacity as a Trustee, that his conduct was in the Trust's best interests;
(ii) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the Trust's best interests; and
(iii) in the case of criminal proceedings, that he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of this Trust or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.
The Trust shall indemnify a Trustee who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action by or in the right of the Trust to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the Trustee is or was an agent of the Trust, against expenses incurred in defending or settling such action if the Trustee acted in good faith, in a manner the Trustee believed to be in the best interests of the Trust and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.
  The Trust shall indemnify each of its Trustees against all liabilities and expenses (including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, as fines and penalties, and as counsel fees) reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, in which he may be involved or with which he may be threatened, while as a Trustee or thereafter, by reason of his being or having been such a Trustee. The rights accruing to any person under these provisions shall not exclude any other right to which he may be lawfully entitled, provided that no person may satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement hereunder except out of the property of the Trust.

    Proposed Surviving Trust: Columbia Funds Series Trust   Acquired Trust: The Galaxy Fund  
Exceptions to Trustee Indemnification:   The Trust will not indemnify its Trustees against any liability to the Trust or to its shareholders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the Trustee's office. In addition, the Trust will make no indemnification with respect to the above situations for indemnification:
(i) with respect to any claim, issue or matter where the Trustee was judged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the person's official capacity as Trustee; or
(ii) with respect to any claim, issue or matter where the Trustee was judged to be liable in the performance of his Trustee's duty to the Trust, unless and only to the extent that the adjudicator determines upon application that the Trustee was not liable by reason of the conduct set forth above in subparagraph (i) and to be fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity; or
(iii) of amounts paid to settle or otherwise dispose of a threatened or pending action, with or without court approval, or of expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval, unless required approval by: (a) a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Trustees who are not parties to the proceeding and are disinterested persons of the Trust; or (b) a written opinion by legal counsel is obtained.
  The Trustee shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any matter as to which he shall have been adjudicated to have acted in bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his duties, provided that as to any matter disposed of by a compromise payment by such person, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, no indemnification either for said payment or for any other expenses shall be provided unless the Trust shall have received a written opinion from independent legal counsel approved by the Trustees to the effect that if either the matter of willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty, or the matter of bad faith had been adjudicated, it would in the opinion of such counsel have been adjudicated in favor of such person.  
Advance of Expenses:   The Trust may advance expenses incurred in defending any proceeding before its final disposition upon a written agreement by or on behalf of the Trustee to repay the amount of the advance if it is determined that the Trustee is not entitled to indemnification, together with at least one of the following:
(i) security for the undertaking;
(ii) insurance protecting the Trust against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances; or
(iii) a determination by a majority of a quorum of disinterested, non-party Trustees, or by an independent legal counsel, that there is reason to believe based on a review of readily available facts that the Trustee ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.
  The Trustees may make advance payments in connection with the Trustee's indemnification, provided that the Trustee shall have given a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust in the event it is subsequently determined that he or she is not entitled to such indemnification.  
Distributions:   No dividend or distribution including, without limitation, any distribution paid upon termination of the Trust or of any series or class with respect to, nor any redemption or repurchase of, the shares of any series or class shall be effected by the Trust other than from the assets held with respect to such series, nor shall any shareholder of any particular series otherwise have any right or claim against the assets held with respect to any other series except to the extent that such shareholder has such a right or claim hereunder as a shareholder of such other series. The Board has full discretion, to the extent not inconsistent with the 1940 Act, to determine which items shall be treated as income and which items as capital, and each such determination and allocation is conclusive and binding upon the shareholders.   Shares of each class shall be entitled to such dividends and distributions, in shares or in cash or both, as may be declared from time to time by the Trustees; acting in their sole discretion with respect to such class, provided that dividends and distributions on shares of a particular class shall be paid only out of the lawfully available assets belonging to such class.  
Conversion to a Master-Feeder Structure:   The Acquiring Funds have the ability to convert to a feeder fund in a master-feeder structure without shareholder approval.   No corresponding provision.

COLUMBIA MONEY MARKET RESERVES

AND

GALAXY MONEY MARKET FUND

 

PRO FORMA COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2005

(unaudited)

 

Note 1.  Organization

 

Columbia Money Market Reserves (the “Acquiring Fund”) is a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is a Delaware business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.  Galaxy Money Market Fund (“Target Fund”) is a series of The Galaxy Fund, which is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

 

Investment Goal

The Acquiring Fund seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income.  The Target Fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal.

 

Fund Shares

The Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund each may issue an unlimited number of shares. The Acquiring Fund offers ten classes of shares: Capital Class Shares, Trust Class Shares, Liquidity Class Shares, Adviser Class Shares, Investor Class Shares, Daily Class Shares, Service Class Shares, Investor B Shares, Investor C Shares and Institutional Class Shares. The Target Fund offers two series of shares: Trust Shares and Retail A Shares.  Each share class has its own expense structure.

 

At the date of merger, two new series of shares will be offered by the Acquiring Fund: Retail A Shares and G Trust Shares.  Retail A Shares and Trust Shares of the Target Fund will be exchanged for new Retail A Shares and new G Trust Shares of the Acquiring Fund at the time of merger.

 

Note 2.  Basis of Combination

 

The accompanying pro-forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed merger of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund as if such merger had occurred on April 1, 2004. The following notes refer to the accompanying pro-forma financial statements of such proposed merger.

 

Under the terms of the merger, the combination of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund will be accounted for by the method of accounting for tax-free mergers of investment companies.  The merger will be accomplished by a combination of the net assets of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund in exchange for new shares of the Acquiring Fund at net asset value.

 

The Pro Forma Investment Portfolios and Pro Forma Statements of Assets and Liabilities of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund have been combined to reflect balances as of March 31, 2005.  The Pro Forma Statements of Operations of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund have been combined to reflect twelve months ended March 31, 2005.  Banc of America Capital Management, LLC. (“BACAP”) expects that all of the securities held by the Target Fund as of March 31, 2005, would comply with the compliance guidelines and/or investment restrictions of the Acquiring Fund.

Following the merger the Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the Acquiring Fund and the results of operations for pre-combined periods will not be re-stated.

 

The accompanying pro-forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund included within their respective annual shareholder reports dated March 31, 2005 and May 31, 2004 for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund, respectively, as well as the semi-annual shareholder reports dated September 30, 2004 and November 30, 2004 for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund, respectively.

 

Note 3.  Significant Accounting Policies

 

Both the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund have substantially the same accounting policies, which are detailed in the annual shareholder reports referenced above in Note 2.

 

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 tax-exempt or taxable income, 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.

 

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities.  The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred.  Also, under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the Trust.  However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

 

Note 4.  Fees and Compensation paid to Affiliates

 

Investment advisory fees, sub-advisory fees, administration fees and related party transactions are detailed in the annual shareholder reports referenced above in Note 2.

 

Note 5.  Capital Shares

 

The pro-forma combining net asset value per share assumes the issuance of Acquiring Fund shares to Target Fund shareholders in connection with the proposed merger.  The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net asset value of the Target Fund divided by the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund as of March 31, 2005.  The pro-forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the combined entity consists of the following at March 31, 2005:

Note 6.  Legal Proceedings

 

On February 9, 2005, BACAP and BACAP Distributors entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General (the “NYAG Settlement”) and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (the “SEC Order”). A copy of the NYAG Settlement is available as part of the Bank of America Corporation Form 8-K filing on February 10, 2005 and a copy of the SEC Order is available on the SEC’s website.

 

Under the terms of the SEC Order, BACAP and its affiliate, Banc of America Securities, LLC (“BAS”) have agreed, among other things, (1) to pay $250 million in disgorgement and $125 million in civil money penalties; (2) to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; (3) to undertake various remedial measures to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws related to certain mutual fund trading practices; and (4) to retain an independent consultant to review their applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures.  The NYAG Settlement also requires, among other things, BACAP along with Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. and Columbia Funds Distributors, Inc. – the investment advisor to and distributor of the Columbia Funds, respectively, - to reduce Columbia Funds and other mutual funds management fees collectively by $32 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.  BACAP and BACAP Distributors are currently in the process of implementing the various terms of the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order.

 

Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the SEC Order, $375 million will be distributed in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by the independent distribution consultant. The distribution plan must be based on a methodology developed in consultation with the BACAP, BACAP Distributors and the independent trustees of the Columbia Funds and not unacceptable to the staff of the SEC.  Although the distribution plan has not yet been formulated, it is anticipated that a significant portion of the settlement fund will be paid to shareholders or mutual funds of other mutual fund complexes that may have been harmed by the trading of the third parties referenced in the Settlements through systems provided by BAS.  At this time, the distribution plan

is still under development.  As such, any gain to the Columbia Funds or their shareholders can not be determined.  More specific information on the distribution plan will be communicated on a later date.

 

As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, including lawsuits brought by shareholders of the affected Columbia Funds, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the Columbia funds.

 

Civil Litigation

 

In connection with the events that resulted in the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order, various parties filed suits against Nations Funds Trust (now known as Columbia Funds Series Trust), its Board of Trustees, Bank of America Corporation and certain of its affiliates, including BACAP and BACAP Distributors (collectively “BAC”).  On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against several other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the “MDL”).  Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL.  On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints.  One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia Funds Series Trust, the Trustees, BAC and others as defendants.  Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds Series Trust against BAC and others that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law. Columbia Funds Series Trust is a nominal defendant in this action.  The MDL is ongoing.  Accordingly, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any Fund, if any, cannot currently be made.

 

Separately, a putative class action (Reinke v. Bank of America N.A., et al.) was filed against Columbia Funds Series Trust and others on December 6, 2004 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri relating to the conversion of common trust funds and the investment of assets held in fiduciary accounts in the Funds.  Columbia Funds Series Trust has filed a motion to dismiss that is pending, and no discovery has been taken.  At the present time, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any Fund, if any, cannot currently be made.

COLUMBIA GOVERNMENT PLUS RESERVES,

GALAXY INSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND

AND

GALAXY GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND

 

PRO FORMA COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2005

(unaudited)

 

Note 1.  Organization

 

Columbia Government Plus Reserves (the “Acquiring Fund” or the “Fund”) is a new series of Columbia Funds Series Trust, which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company. Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund and Galaxy Government Money Market Fund (collectively “Target Funds”) are each a series of The Galaxy Fund, which is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

 

Investment Goal

Columbia Government Plus Reserves and Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund each seek current income with liquidity and stability of principal.  Galaxy Government Money Market Fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal.

 

Fund Shares

The Acquiring Fund and the Target Funds each may issue an unlimited number of shares. The Acquiring Fund offers five classes of shares: Retail A Shares, Trust Shares, Institutional Shares, Select Shares and Preferred Shares. Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Select Shares and Preferred Shares.  Galaxy Government Money Market Fund offers two series of shares: Retail A Shares and Trust Shares.  Each share class has its own expense structure.

 

Note 2.  Basis of Combination

 

The accompanying pro-forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed merger of the Target Funds with the Acquiring Fund as if such merger had occurred on May 1, 2004. The following notes refer to the accompanying pro-forma financial statements of such proposed merger.

 

Under the terms of the merger, the combination of the Acquiring Funds and the Target Funds will be accounted for by the method of accounting for tax-free mergers of investment companies.  The merger will be accomplished by a combination of the net assets of the Target Funds into the Acquiring Fund in exchange for new shares of the Acquiring Fund at net asset value.

 

The Pro Forma Investment Portfolios and Pro Forma Statements of Assets and Liabilities of the Target Funds and Acquiring Fund have been combined to reflect balances as of April 30, 2005.  The Pro Forma Statements of Operations of the Target Funds and Acquiring Fund have been combined to reflect twelve months ended April 30, 2005.  Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. expects that all of the securities held by the Target Funds as of April 30, 2005, would comply with the compliance guidelines and/or investment restrictions of the Acquiring Fund.

Following the merger the Acquiring Fund will assume the accounting history of Galaxy Institutional Money Market Fund.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the Acquiring Fund and the results of operations for pre-combined periods will not be re-stated.

 

The accompanying pro-forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Target Funds included within their respective annual and semi-annual shareholder reports.  The annual shareholder reports are dated October 31, 2004 and May 31, 2004 for Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund and the Galaxy Government Money Market Fund, respectively.  The semi-annual shareholder reports are dated April 30, 2005 and November 30, 2004 for the Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund and Galaxy Government Money Market Fund, respectively.

 

Note 3.  Significant Accounting Policies

 

Both the Acquiring fund and the Target Funds have substantially the same accounting policies, which are detailed in the annual shareholder reports referenced above in Note 2.

 

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 or tax-exempt, 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.

 

Note 4.  Fees and Compensation paid to Affiliates

 

Investment advisory fees, sub-advisory fees, administration fees and related party transactions are detailed in the annual shareholder reports referenced above in Note 2.

 

Note 5.  Capital Shares

 

The pro-forma combining net asset value per share assumes the issuance of Acquiring Fund shares to Target Funds’ shareholders in connection with the proposed merger.  The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net asset value of the Target Funds divided by the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund as of April 30, 2005.  The pro-forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the combined entity consists of the following at April 30, 2005:

Note 6.  Legal Proceedings

 

On February 9, 2005, BACAP and BACAP Distributors entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General (the “NYAG Settlement”) and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (the “SEC Order”). A copy of the NYAG Settlement is available as part of the Bank of America Corporation Form 8-K filing on February 10, 2005 and a copy of the SEC Order is available on the SEC’s website.

 

Under the terms of the SEC Order, BACAP and its affiliate, Banc of America Securities, LLC (“BAS”) have agreed, among other things, (1) to pay $250 million in disgorgement and $125 million in civil money penalties; (2) to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; (3) to undertake various remedial measures to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws related to certain mutual fund trading practices; and (4) to retain an independent consultant to review their applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures.  The NYAG Settlement also requires, among other things, BACAP along with Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. and Columbia Funds Distributors, Inc. – the investment advisor to and distributor of the Columbia Funds, respectively, - to reduce Columbia Funds and other mutual funds management fees collectively by $32 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.  BACAP and BACAP Distributors are currently in the process of implementing the various terms of the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order.

 

Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the SEC Order, $375 million will be distributed in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by the independent distribution consultant. The distribution plan must be based on a methodology developed in consultation with the BACAP, BACAP Distributors and the independent trustees of the Columbia Funds and not unacceptable to the staff of the SEC.  Although the distribution plan has not yet been formulated, it is anticipated that a significant portion of the settlement fund will be paid to shareholders or mutual funds of other mutual fund complexes that may have been harmed by the trading of the third parties referenced in the Settlements through systems provided by BAS.  At this time, the distribution plan

is still under development.  As such, any gain to the Columbia Funds or their shareholders can not be determined.  More specific information on the distribution plan will be communicated on a later date.

 

As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, including lawsuits brought by shareholders of the affected Columbia Funds, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the Columbia funds.

 

Civil Litigation

 

In connection with the events that resulted in the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order, various parties filed suits against Nations Funds Trust (now known as Columbia Funds Series Trust), its Board of Trustees, Bank of America Corporation and certain of its affiliates, including BACAP and BACAP Distributors (collectively “BAC”).  On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against several other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the “MDL”).  Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL.  On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints.  One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia Funds Series Trust, the Trustees, BAC and others as defendants.  Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds Series Trust against BAC and others that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law. Columbia Funds Series Trust is a nominal defendant in this action.  The MDL is ongoing.  Accordingly, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any Fund, if any, cannot currently be made.

 

Separately, a putative class action (Reinke v. Bank of America N.A., et al.) was filed against Columbia Funds Series Trust and others on December 6, 2004 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri relating to the conversion of common trust funds and the investment of assets held in fiduciary accounts in the Funds.  Columbia Funds Series Trust has filed a motion to dismiss that is pending, and no discovery has been taken.  At the present time, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any Fund, if any, cannot currently be made.

COLUMBIA GOVERNMENT RESERVES

AND

GALAXY U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND

 

PRO FORMA COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2005

(unaudited)

 

Note 1.  Organization

 

Columbia Government Reserves (the “Acquiring Fund”) is a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is a Delaware business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.  Galaxy U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (“Target Fund”) is a series of The Galaxy Fund, which is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-management investment company.

 

Investment Goal

 

The Acquiring Fund seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income.  The Target Fund seeks current income with liquidity and stability of principal.

 

Fund Shares

 

The Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund each may issue an unlimited number of shares. The Acquiring Fund offers nine classes of shares: Capital Class Shares, Trust Class Shares, Liquidity Class Shares, Adviser Class Shares, Investor Class Shares, Daily Class Shares, Investor A Shares, Investor B Shares and Institutional Class Shares.  The Target Fund offers two series of shares: Trust Shares and Retail A Shares.  Each share class has its own expense structure.

 

At the date of merger, two new series of shares will be offered by the Acquiring Fund: Retail A Shares and G Trust Shares.  Retail A Shares and Trust Shares of the Target Fund will be exchanged for new Retail A and new G Trust shares of the Acquiring Fund at the time of merger.

 

Note 2. Basis of Combination

 

The accompanying pro-forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed merger of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund as if such merger had occurred on April 1, 2004. The following notes refer to the accompanying pro-forma financial statements of such proposed merger.

 

Under the terms of the merger, the combination of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund will be accounted for by the method of accounting for tax-free mergers of investment companies.  The merger will be accomplished by a combination of the net assets of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund in exchange for new shares of the Acquiring Fund at net asset value.

 

The Pro Forma Investment Portfolios and Pro Forma Statements of Assets and Liabilities of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund have been combined to reflect balances as of March 31, 2005.  The Pro Forma Statements of Operations of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund have been combined to reflect twelve months ended March 31, 2005.  Banc of America Capital Management, LLC. (“BACAP”) expects that all of the securities held by the Target Fund as of March 31, 2005, would comply with the compliance guidelines and/or investment restrictions of the Acquiring Fund.

 

1



 

Following the merger the Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the Acquiring Fund and the results of operations for pre-combined periods will not be re-stated.

 

The accompanying pro-forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund included within their respective annual shareholder reports dated March 31, 2005 and May 31, 2004 for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund, respectively, as well as the semi-annual shareholder reports dated September 30, 2004 and November 30, 2004 for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund, respectively.

 

Note 3.  Significant Accounting Policies

 

Both the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund have substantially the same accounting policies, which are detailed in the annual shareholder reports referenced above in Note 2.

 

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 tax-exempt or taxable income, 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.

 

Indemnifications

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities.  The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred.  Also, under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the Trust.  However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

 

Note 4.  Fees and Compensation paid to Affiliates

 

Investment advisory fees, sub-advisory fees, administration fees and related party transactions are detailed in the annual shareholder reports referenced above in Note 2.

 

Note 5.  Capital Shares

 

The pro-forma combining net asset value per share assumes the issuance of Acquiring Fund shares to Target Fund shareholders in connection with the proposed merger.  The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net asset value of the Target Fund divided by the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund as of March 31, 2005.  The pro-forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the combined entity consists of the following at March 31, 2005:

Note 6. Legal Proceedings

 

On February 9, 2005, BACAP and BACAP Distributors entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General (the “NYAG Settlement”) and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (the “SEC Order”). A copy of the NYAG Settlement is available as part of the Bank of America Corporation Form 8-K filing on February 10, 2005 and a copy of the SEC Order is available on the SEC’s website.

 

Under the terms of the SEC Order, BACAP and its affiliate, Banc of America Securities, LLC (“BAS”) have agreed, among other things, (1) to pay $250 million in disgorgement and $125 million in civil money penalties; (2) to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; (3) to undertake various remedial measures to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws related to certain mutual fund trading practices; and (4) to retain an independent consultant to review their applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures.  The NYAG Settlement also requires, among other things, BACAP along with Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. and Columbia Funds Distributors, Inc. – the investment advisor to and distributor of the Columbia Funds, respectively, - to reduce Columbia Funds and other mutual funds management fees collectively by $32 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.  BACAP and BACAP Distributors are currently in the process of implementing the various terms of the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order.

 

Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the SEC Order, $375 million will be distributed in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by the independent distribution consultant. The distribution plan must be based on a methodology developed in consultation with the BACAP, BACAP Distributors and the independent trustees of the Columbia Funds and not unacceptable to the staff of the SEC.  Although the distribution plan has not yet been formulated, it is anticipated that a significant portion of the settlement fund will be paid to shareholders or mutual funds of other mutual fund complexes that may have been harmed by the trading of the third parties referenced in the Settlements through systems provided by BAS.  At this time, the distribution plan is still under development.  As such, any gain to the Columbia Funds or their shareholders can not be determined.  More specific information on the distribution plan will be communicated on a later date.

 

As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, including lawsuits brought by shareholders of the affected Columbia Funds, there may be increased redemptions or reduced

sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the Columbia funds.

 

Civil Litigation

 

In connection with the events that resulted in the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order, various parties filed suits against Nations Funds Trust (now known as Columbia Funds Series Trust), its Board of Trustees, Bank of America Corporation and certain of its affiliates, including BACAP and BACAP Distributors (collectively “BAC”).  On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against several other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the “MDL”).  Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL.  On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints.  One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia Funds Series Trust, the Trustees, BAC and others as defendants.  Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds Series Trust against BAC and others that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law. Columbia Funds Series Trust is a nominal defendant in this action.  The MDL is ongoing.  Accordingly, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any Fund, if any, cannot currently be made.

 

Separately, a putative class action (Reinke v. Bank of America N.A., et al.) was filed against Columbia Funds Series Trust and others on December 6, 2004 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri relating to the conversion of common trust funds and the investment of assets held in fiduciary accounts in the Funds.  Columbia Funds Series Trust has filed a motion to dismiss that is pending, and no discovery has been taken.  At the present time, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any Fund, if any, cannot currently be made.

COLUMBIA TREASURY RESERVES

AND

GALAXY INSTITUTIONAL TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND

 

PRO FORMA COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2005

(unaudited)

 

Note 1.  Organization

 

Columbia Treasury Reserves (the “Acquiring Fund”) is a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is a Delaware business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.  Galaxy Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund (“Target Fund”) is a series of The Galaxy Fund, which is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-management investment company.

 

Investment Goal

The Acquiring Fund seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income.  The Target Fund seeks to preserve principal value of a shareholder’s investment and to maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income

 

Fund Shares

The Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund each may issue an unlimited number of shares. The Acquiring Fund offers nine classes of shares: Capital Class Shares, Trust Class Shares, Liquidity Class Shares, Adviser Class Shares, Investor Class Shares, Daily Class Shares, Investor A Shares, Investor B Shares and Institutional Class Shares.  The Target Fund offers three series of shares: Institutional Shares, Select Shares and Preferred Shares.  Each share class has its own expense structure.

 

At the time of merger, Institutional Shares, Select Shares and Preferred Shares of the Target Fund are exchanged for Capital Class Shares, Trust Class Shares and Adviser Class Shares of the Acquiring Fund.

 

Note 2.  Basis of Combination

 

The accompanying pro-forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed merger of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund as if such merger had occurred on April 1, 2004. The following notes refer to the accompanying pro-forma financial statements of such proposed merger.

 

Under the terms of the merger, the combination of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund will be accounted for by the method of accounting for tax-free mergers of investment companies.  The merger will be accomplished by a combination of the net assets of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund in exchange for new shares of the Acquiring Fund at net asset value.

 

The Pro Forma Investment Portfolios and Pro Forma Statements of Assets and Liabilities of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund have been combined to reflect balances as of March 31, 2005.  The Pro Forma Statements of Operations of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund have been combined to reflect twelve months ended March 31, 2005.  Banc of America Capital Management, LLC. (“BACAP”) expects that all of the securities held by the Target Fund as of March 31, 2005, would comply with the compliance guidelines and/or investment restrictions of the Acquiring Fund.

 

1



 

Following the merger the Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the Acquiring Fund and the results of operations for pre-combined periods will not be re-stated.

 

The accompanying pro-forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund included within their respective annual shareholder reports dated March 31, 2005 and October 31, 2004 for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund, respectively, as well as the semi-annual shareholder reports dated September 30, 2004 and April 30, 2004 for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund, respectively.

 

Note 3.  Significant Accounting Policies

Both the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund have substantially the same accounting policies, which are detailed in the annual shareholder reports referenced in Note 2.

 

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 tax-exempt or taxable income, 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.

 

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities.  The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred.  Also, under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the Trust.  However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

 

Note 4.  Fees and Compensation paid to Affiliates

 

Investment advisory fees, sub-advisory fees, administration fees and related party transactions are detailed in the annual shareholder reports referenced above in Note 2.

 

Note 5.  Capital Shares

 

The pro-forma combining net asset value per share assumes the issuance of Acquiring Fund shares to Target Fund shareholders in connection with the proposed merger.  The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net asset value of the Target Fund divided by the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund as of March 31, 2005.  The pro-forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the combined entity consists of the following at March 31, 2005:

Note 6.  Legal Proceedings

 

On February 9, 2005, BACAP and BACAP Distributors entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General (the “NYAG Settlement”) and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (the “SEC Order”). A copy of the NYAG Settlement is available as part of the Bank of America Corporation Form 8-K filing on February 10, 2005 and a copy of the SEC Order is available on the SEC’s website.

 

Under the terms of the SEC Order, BACAP and its affiliate, Banc of America Securities, LLC (“BAS”) have agreed, among other things, (1) to pay $250 million in disgorgement and $125 million in civil money penalties; (2) to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; (3) to undertake various remedial measures to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws related to certain mutual fund trading practices; and (4) to retain an independent consultant to review their applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures.  The NYAG Settlement also requires, among other things, BACAP along with Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. and Columbia Funds Distributors, Inc. – the investment advisor to and distributor of the Columbia Funds, respectively, - to reduce Columbia Funds, Columbia Funds and other mutual funds management fees collectively by $32 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.  BACAP and BACAP Distributors are currently in the process of implementing the various terms of the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order.

 

Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the SEC Order, $375 million will be distributed in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by the independent distribution consultant. The distribution plan must be based on a methodology developed in consultation with the BACAP, BACAP Distributors and the independent trustees of the Columbia Funds and not unacceptable to the staff of the SEC.  Although the distribution plan has not yet been formulated, it is anticipated that a significant portion of the settlement fund will be paid to shareholders or mutual funds of other mutual fund complexes that may have been harmed by the trading of the third parties referenced in the Settlements through systems provided by BAS.  At this time, the distribution plan is still under development.  As such, any gain to the Columbia Funds or their shareholders can not be determined.  More specific information on the distribution plan will be communicated on a later date.

 

As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, including lawsuits brought by shareholders of the affected Columbia Funds, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the Columbia funds.

Civil Litigation

 

In connection with the events that resulted in the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order, various parties filed suits against Nations Funds Trust (now known as Columbia Funds Series Trust), its Board of Trustees, Bank of America Corporation and certain of its affiliates, including BACAP and BACAP Distributors (collectively “BAC”).  On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against several other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the “MDL”).  Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL.  On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints.  One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia Funds Series Trust, the Trustees, BAC and others as defendants.  Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds Series Trust against BAC and others that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law. Columbia Funds Series Trust is a nominal defendant in this action.  The MDL is ongoing.  Accordingly, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any Fund, if any, cannot currently be made.

 

Separately, a putative class action (Reinke v. Bank of America N.A., et al.) was filed against Columbia Funds Series Trust and others on December 6, 2004 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri relating to the conversion of common trust funds and the investment of assets held in fiduciary accounts in the Funds.  Columbia Funds Series Trust has filed a motion to dismiss that is pending, and no discovery has been taken.  At the present time, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any Fund, if any, cannot currently be made.

COLUMBIA TAX-EXEMPT RESERVES

AND

GALAXY TAX-EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND

 

PRO FORMA COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2005

(unaudited)

 

Note 1.  Organization

 

Columbia Tax-Exempt Reserves (the “Acquiring Fund”) is a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is a Delaware business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.  Galaxy Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (“Target Fund”) is a series of The Galaxy Fund, which is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

 

Investment Goal

The Acquiring Fund seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income.  The Target Fund seeks as high a level of current interest income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with stability of principal.

 

Fund Shares

The Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund each may issue an unlimited number of shares. The Acquiring Fund offers eight classes of shares: Capital Class Shares, Trust Class Shares, Liquidity Class Shares, Adviser Class Shares, Investor Class Shares, Daily Class Shares, Investor A Shares, and Institutional Class Shares. The Target Fund offers two series of shares: Trust Shares and Retail A Shares.  Each share class has its own expense structure.

 

At the date of merger, two new series of shares will be offered by the Acquiring Fund: Retail A Shares and G Trust Shares.  Retail A Shares and Trust Shares of the Target Fund will be exchanged for new Retail A Shares and new G Trust Shares of the Acquiring Fund at the time of merger

 

Note 2. Basis of Combination

 

The accompanying pro-forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed merger of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund as if such merger had occurred on April 1, 2004. The following notes refer to the accompanying pro-forma financial statements of such proposed merger.

 

Under the terms of the merger, the combination of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund will be accounted for by the method of accounting for tax-free mergers of investment companies.  The merger will be accomplished by a combination of the net assets of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund in exchange for new shares of the Acquiring Fund at net asset value.

 

The Pro Forma Investment Portfolios and Pro Forma Statements of Assets and Liabilities of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund have been combined to reflect balances as of March 31, 2005.  The Pro Forma Statements of Operations of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund have been combined to reflect twelve months ended March 31, 2005.  Banc of America Capital Management, LLC. (“BACAP”) expects that all of the securities held by the Target Fund as of March 31, 2005, would comply with the compliance guidelines and/or investment restrictions of the Acquiring Fund.

Following the merger the Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the Acquiring Fund and the results of operations for pre-combined periods will not be re-stated.

 

The accompanying pro-forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund included within their respective annual shareholder reports dated March 31, 2005 and May 31, 2004 for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund, respectively, as well as the semi-annual shareholder reports dated September 30, 2004 and November 30, 2004 for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund, respectively.

 

Note 3.  Significant Accounting Policies

 

Both the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund have substantially the same accounting policies, which are detailed in the annual shareholder reports referenced above in Note 2.

 

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 tax-exempt or taxable income, 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.

 

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities.  The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred.  Also, under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the Trust.  However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

 

Note 4.  Fees and Compensation paid to Affiliates

 

Investment advisory fees, sub-advisory fees, administration fees and related party transactions are detailed in the annual shareholder reports referenced above in Note 2.

 

Note 5.  Capital Shares

 

The pro-forma combining net asset value per share assumes the issuance of Acquiring Fund shares to Target Fund shareholders in connection with the proposed merger.  The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net asset value of the Target Fund divided by the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund as of March 31, 2005.  The pro-forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the combined entity consists of the following at March 31, 2005:

Note 6.  Legal Proceedings

 

On February 9, 2005, BACAP and BACAP Distributors entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General (the “NYAG Settlement”) and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (the “SEC Order”). A copy of the NYAG Settlement is available as part of the Bank of America Corporation Form 8-K filing on February 10, 2005 and a copy of the SEC Order is available on the SEC’s website.

 

Under the terms of the SEC Order, BACAP and its affiliate, Banc of America Securities, LLC (“BAS”) have agreed, among other things, (1) to pay $250 million in disgorgement and $125 million in civil money penalties; (2) to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; (3) to undertake various remedial measures to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws related to certain mutual fund trading practices; and (4) to retain an independent consultant to review their applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures.  The NYAG Settlement also requires, among other things, BACAP along with Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. and Columbia Funds Distributors, Inc. – the investment advisor to and distributor of the Columbia Funds, respectively, - to reduce Columbia Funds, Columbia Funds and other mutual funds management fees collectively by $32 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.  BACAP and BACAP Distributors are currently in the process of implementing the various terms of the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order.

 

Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the SEC Order, $375 million will be distributed in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by the independent distribution consultant. The distribution plan must be based on a methodology developed in consultation with the BACAP, BACAP Distributors and the independent trustees of the Columbia Funds and not unacceptable to the staff of the SEC.  Although the distribution plan has not yet been formulated, it is anticipated that a significant portion of the settlement fund will be paid to shareholders or mutual funds of other mutual fund complexes that may have been harmed by the trading of the third parties referenced in the Settlements through systems provided by BAS.  At this time, the distribution plan is still under development.  As such, any gain to the Columbia Funds or their shareholders can not be determined.  More specific information on the distribution plan will be communicated on a later date.

 

As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, including lawsuits brought by shareholders of the affected Columbia Funds, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the Columbia funds.

Civil Litigation

 

In connection with the events that resulted in the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order, various parties filed suits against Nations Funds Trust (now known as Columbia Funds Series Trust), its Board of Trustees, Bank of America Corporation and certain of its affiliates, including BACAP and BACAP Distributors (collectively “BAC”).  On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against several other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the “MDL”).  Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL.  On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints.  One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia Funds Series Trust, the Trustees, BAC and others as defendants.  Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds Series Trust against BAC and others that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law. Columbia Funds Series Trust is a nominal defendant in this action.  The MDL is ongoing.  Accordingly, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any Fund, if any, cannot currently be made.

 

Separately, a putative class action (Reinke v. Bank of America N.A., et al.) was filed against Columbia Funds Series Trust and others on December 6, 2004 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri relating to the conversion of common trust funds and the investment of assets held in fiduciary accounts in the Funds.  Columbia Funds Series Trust has filed a motion to dismiss that is pending, and no discovery has been taken.  At the present time, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any Fund, if any, cannot currently be made.

COLUMBIA NEW YORK TAX-EXEMPT RESERVES

AND

GALAXY NEW YORK MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND

 

PRO FORMA COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2005

(unaudited)

 

Note 1.  Organization

 

Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Reserves (the “Acquiring Fund”) is a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is a Delaware business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.  Galaxy New York Municipal Money Market Fund (“Target Fund”) is a series of The Galaxy Fund, which is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

 

Investment Goal

The Acquiring Fund seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income exempt from New York state individual income tax and federal income taxes.  The Target Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the New York state and New York City personal income taxes consistent with relative stability of principal and liquidity.

 

Fund Shares

The Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund each may issue an unlimited number of shares. The Acquiring Fund offers four classes of shares: Capital Class Shares, Trust Class Shares, Market Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares.  The Target Fund offers two series of shares: Trust Shares and Retail A Shares.  Each share class has its own expense structure.

 

At the date of merger, two new series of shares will be offered by the Acquiring Fund: Retail A Shares and G Trust Shares.  Retail A Shares and Trust Shares of the Target Fund will be exchanged for new Retail A Shares and new G Trust Shares of the Acquiring Fund at the time of merger.

 

Note 2.  Basis of Combination

 

The accompanying pro-forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed merger of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund as if such merger had occurred on April 1, 2004. The following notes refer to the accompanying pro-forma financial statements of such proposed merger.

 

Under the terms of the merger, the combination of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund will be accounted for by the method of accounting for tax-free mergers of investment companies.  The merger will be accomplished by a combination of the net assets of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund in exchange for new shares of the Acquiring Fund at net asset value.

 

The Pro Forma Investment Portfolios and Pro Forma Statements of Assets and Liabilities of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund have been combined to reflect balances as of March 31, 2005.  The Pro Forma Statements of Operations of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund have been combined to reflect twelve months ended March 31, 2005.  Banc of America Capital Management, LLC. (“BACAP”) expects that all of the securities held by the Target Fund as of March 31, 2005, would comply with the compliance guidelines and/or investment restrictions of the Acquiring Fund.

Following the merger the Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the Acquiring Fund and the results of operations for pre-combined periods will not be re-stated.

 

The accompanying pro-forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund included within their respective annual shareholder reports dated March 31, 2005 and November 30, 2004 for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund, respectively, as well as the semi-annual shareholder reports dated September 30, 2004 and May 31, 2004 for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund, respectively.

 

Note 3.  Significant Accounting Policies

 

Both the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund have substantially the same accounting policies, which are detailed in the annual shareholder reports referenced above in Note 2.

 

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 tax-exempt or taxable income, 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.

 

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities.  The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred.  Also, under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the Trust.  However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

 

Note 4.  Fees and Compensation paid to Affiliates

 

Investment advisory fees, sub-advisory fees, administration fees and related party transactions are detailed in the annual shareholder reports referenced above in Note 2.

 

Note 5.  Capital Shares

 

The pro-forma combining net asset value per share assumes the issuance of Acquiring Fund shares to Target Fund shareholders in connection with the proposed merger.  The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net asset value of the Target Fund divided by the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund as of March 31, 2005.  The pro-forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the combined entity consists of the following at March 31, 2005:

Note 6.  Legal Proceedings

 

On February 9, 2005, BACAP and BACAP Distributors entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General (the “NYAG Settlement”) and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (the “SEC Order”). A copy of the NYAG Settlement is available as part of the Bank of America Corporation Form 8-K filing on February 10, 2005 and a copy of the SEC Order is available on the SEC’s website.

 

Under the terms of the SEC Order, BACAP and its affiliate, Banc of America Securities, LLC (“BAS”) have agreed, among other things, (1) to pay $250 million in disgorgement and $125 million in civil money penalties; (2) to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; (3) to undertake various remedial measures to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws related to certain mutual fund trading practices; and (4) to retain an independent consultant to review their applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures.  The NYAG Settlement also requires, among other things, BACAP along with Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. and Columbia Funds Distributors, Inc. – the investment advisor to and distributor of the Columbia Funds, respectively, - to reduce Columbia Funds, Columbia Funds and other mutual funds management fees collectively by $32 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.  BACAP and BACAP Distributors are currently in the process of implementing the various terms of the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order.

 

Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the SEC Order, $375 million will be distributed in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by the independent distribution consultant. The distribution plan must be based on a methodology developed in consultation with the BACAP, BACAP Distributors and the independent trustees of the Columbia Funds and not unacceptable to the staff of the SEC.  Although the distribution plan has not yet been formulated, it is anticipated that a significant portion of the settlement fund will be paid to shareholders or mutual funds of other mutual fund complexes that may have been harmed by the trading of the third parties referenced in the Settlements through systems provided by BAS.  At this time, the distribution plan is still under development.  As such, any gain to the Columbia Funds or their shareholders can not be determined.  More specific information on the distribution plan will be communicated on a later date.

 

As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, including lawsuits brought by shareholders of the affected Columbia Funds, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the Columbia funds.

 

Civil Litigation

 

3



 

In connection with the events that resulted in the NYAG Settlement and SEC Order, various parties filed suits against Nations Funds Trust (now known as Columbia Funds Series Trust), its Board of Trustees, Bank of America Corporation and certain of its affiliates, including BACAP and BACAP Distributors (collectively “BAC”).  On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against several other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the “MDL”).  Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL.  On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints.  One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia Funds Series Trust, the Trustees, BAC and others as defendants.  Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds Series Trust against BAC and others that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law. Columbia Funds Series Trust is a nominal defendant in this action.  The MDL is ongoing.  Accordingly, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any Fund, if any, cannot currently be made.

 

Separately, a putative class action (Reinke v. Bank of America N.A., et al.) was filed against Columbia Funds Series Trust and others on December 6, 2004 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri relating to the conversion of common trust funds and the investment of assets held in fiduciary accounts in the Funds.  Columbia Funds Series Trust has filed a motion to dismiss that is pending, and no discovery has been taken.  At the present time, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any Fund, if any, cannot currently be made.
