AMENDMENT

TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED FEE WAIVER AND EXPENSE CAP AGREEMENT

This Amendment, made and entered into as of September 1, 2023, is made a part of the Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and Expense Cap Agreement dated as of June 15, 2021 (the Agreement) by and among each of Columbia Funds Series Trust, Columbia Funds Series Trust I, Columbia Funds Series Trust II, Columbia Funds Variable Insurance Trust and Columbia Funds Variable Series Trust II (each a Registrant), on behalf of its underlying series funds, as listed in Schedule A thereto (the term “Fund” is used to refer to either the Registrant or the series, as the context requires), Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (CMIA), Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (CMID), and Columbia Management Investment Services Corp., a Minnesota corporation (CMISC) (CMIA, CMID, and CMISC, collectively referred to as the Service Providers).

WHEREAS, the Service Providers have agreed to waive certain fees payable to them under separate agreements with the Funds under the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, CMIA has entered into management agreements with the Funds (Management Agreements) pursuant to which CMIA provides investment management services to the Funds in return for a fee (Management Fee) and the Funds may invest in other Funds to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) and the rules issued thereunder; and

WHEREAS, CMIA has agreed to waive a portion of its Management Fees when certain Funds hold, pursuant to Rule 12dl-4 under the 1940 Act, assets of another Fund or other registered investment company managed by an investment adviser that is directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, CMIA (each an Affiliated Underlying Fund);

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Section I of the Agreement shall be, and is hereby, amended and restated to read as follows:

1. Fee Waivers. The parties hereby agree that the Service Providers shall waive fees (each a Fee Waiver) payable to them under their separate agreements with the Funds to the extent reflected for each Fund, as agreed to by the applicable Service Provider(s) and the Board and reflected in the minutes of Board meetings. In addition, unless an acquiring Fund has a Management Fee schedule that expressly contemplates investment in Affiliated Underlying Funds (as identified on Schedule A), CMIA agrees to waive its Management Fee with respect to the acquiring Fund for each day in an amount equal to the product of (a) the net assets of the acquiring Fund invested in the Affiliated Underlying Fund and (b) the Management Fee rate payable by the Affiliated Underlying Fund to CMIA (or an affiliated investment adviser) less any waiver or reimbursement applicable to the share class held by the acquiring Fund (expressed as a percentage of daily net assets attributable to such class) divided by the number of days in the year. For these purposes, the acquiring Fund’s net assets will be the net assets from the prior business day and the effective Management Fee rate and waiver/reimbursement rate will be updated monthly using the Affiliated Underlying Fund’s fiscal year to date as of each month-end expense ratios (annualized).

2. Schedule A to the Agreement is replaced with Schedule A to this Amendment.

3. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter. Each provision herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the enforceability of any such other provision or agreement. In addition, each provision herein shall be treated as separate and independent with respect to each Fund and shall be treated as separate and independent from such provision or agreement with respect to each of the other Funds. No modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and executed by the parties affected thereby.
