On September 24, 2008, Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (“Ameriprise”) issued a press release to announce that it would commit up to $33 million to support clients who have invested in The Primary Fund, a money market mutual fund managed by Reserve Management Co.  The press release incorrectly described that Ameriprise expects this commitment to have an impact of approximately 1 cent per share on its third quarter earnings.  Ameriprise expects that the commitment of up to $33 million will have an impact of approximately 10 cents per share on its third quarter earnings.  A copy of the press release, revised to reflect the correct earnings per share impact, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is furnished herewith.
