Manager Discussion of Fund Performance

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 38.90% excluding sales charges. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI (Net), which returned 37.28% for the same time period.

Market overview

The year in review was a positive, albeit volatile period, for equities.

Markets fared particularly well over the first half of the period. Sentiment was bolstered by landmark results in COVID-19 vaccine trials in November 2020 and resulting hopes of a return to ‘normality’. Investors were also encouraged by the last-minute Brexit deal, Joe Biden’s election victory and the anticipation and delivery of further U.S. fiscal stimulus. These developments led investors to favor value stocks that were likely to benefit from the reopening of economies, rather than defensive growth names.

This so-called ‘reflation trade’ prevailed over the first few months of 2021 as the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines across developed markets paved the way for lockdown restrictions to ease and led to improvements in economic activity. Equities and bonds were also supported by strong quarterly earnings.

From June onwards, the rally ebbed owing to the emergence of the more contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus. This led to lockdowns being reimposed in some countries, notably in emerging markets (EMs), where vaccination rates continued to lag those in developed countries. Meanwhile, as developed economies returned to ‘normal’, investors fretted about rising inflation, particularly given growing evidence of supply-chain bottlenecks. There were concerns that rising prices could lead key central banks to rein in their accommodative measures. Notably, Federal Reserve officials indicated that U.S. interest rates could be raised as soon as next year, though, as late as June, investors were not anticipating any rate hikes until 2023.

Sentiment was also hurt by regulatory crackdowns in China, which undermined the growth outlook for the world’s second-largest economy. Meanwhile, a debt crisis at Chinese property developer Evergrande sparked fears of contagion to global property markets and beyond.

U.S. and Europe ex U.K. equities fared best during the reporting period. The former benefited from news of further fiscal stimulus, the economic recovery and gains in the sizeable technology sector. Europe ex UK equities were boosted by an acceleration in the pace of vaccinations in the bloc and the prospect of a rebound in world trade. U.K. equities underperformed modestly, and Japanese equities were further behind, due to concerns about rising COVID-19 cases, given the relatively slow pace of vaccinations earlier in the year. EM equities were weakest, amid worries over the rapid spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant and the regulatory crackdowns in China.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	Sector allocation was a positive contributor, with the Fund’s underweight in the consumer discretionary sector and overweight in the information technology sector adding the most value.
•	Security selection also contributed to performance during the period, with selections in the consumer discretionary sector proving most beneficial.
•	At the individual stock level, the main contributors to performance were Intuit, Inc., Alphabet, Inc., Microsoft Corp., Adobe, Inc. and Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd.

○	A position in software firm Intuit proved most beneficial over the period. The company announced strong results in August, while an investor day in September highlighted positive momentum across a range of its products and key markets.
○	The Fund’s holding in Alphabet also contributed as shares were buoyed by strong earnings updates, helped by increased revenues in cloud-computing, as well as a recovery in advertising spending by businesses.
○	Shares in Microsoft rallied over the period, after the software company’s results exceeded expectations, reflecting robust demand for its cloud-based services. Our investment thesis for the stock centers around the firm’s large distribution channels and installed customer base, which we believe serve as durable competitive advantages.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)

○

Shares of Adobe rallied on stellar results and raised guidance over the period, which highlighted positive momentum in the firm’s cloud-computing business. We believe that Adobe was well positioned to benefit from increasing demand for cloud computing and digital commerce. Adobe’s transition to a subscription-based, cloud delivery model in its core services has improved the onboarding process, providing a more comprehensive platform that we believe is attractive to enterprises shifting away from legacy solutions.

○

Shares of Japanese human-resources company Recruit Holdings gained over the period, after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly results and guidance. We believe that the demand for HR technology is increasing and Recruit is well-positioned to benefit from skills shortages in key industries including technology and engineering, as well as the trend towards increasing career mobility in Japan. The firm boasts the largest online job-search engine in the world, with a highly competitive offering, underpinned by its proprietary algorithms, scale and network.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	The health care sector was the largest area of detraction for the Fund during the period, driven primarily by security selection.
•	An underweight allocation to the strong-performing financials sector also weighed on results versus the benchmark.
•	At the individual stock level, the main detractors from performance included Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS), Boston Scientific Corp. and Baxter International, Inc.

○	Shares of global e-commerce and integrated payment services leader FIS fell over the period, along with its global payment peers, amid increased competition in the payment-processing sector, which clouded the outlook for the industry. We believe that FIS’s scale secures its market position and leaves it well placed to capitalize on trends such as cashless transactions, e-commerce and emerging-market wealth creation. In our view, the company also stands to benefit from the longer term recovery in travel and spending.
○	The Fund’s holding in Boston Scientific detracted, as concerns that elective surgeries could be de-railed by COVID-19 weighed on the stock’s performance. We sold the Fund’s holding over the period.
○	The Fund’s position in Baxter detracted from performance over the period. We sold the Fund’s holding earlier in the year, as we felt there were better opportunities elsewhere.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. International investing involves certain risks and volatility due to potential political, economic or currency instabilities and different financial and accounting standards. Risks are enhanced for emerging market issuers. Investing in derivatives is a specialized activity that involves special risks, which may result in significant losses. The value of the fund’s portfolio may be more volatile due to concentrated investments in similar industries, sectors or geographical regions. Investments in a limited number of companies subject the fund to greater risk of loss. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

The views expressed in this report reflect the current views of the respective parties who have contributed to this report. These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Columbia fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular Columbia fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)

As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are shareholder transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing fund costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your Fund’s expenses

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

May 1, 2021 — October 31, 2021
	Account value at the beginning of the period ($)		Account value at the end of the period ($)		Expenses paid during the period ($)		Fund’s annualized expense ratio (%)
	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual
Class A	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,128.30	1,018.80	6.53	6.19	1.23
Advisor Class	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,129.80	1,020.09	5.15	4.89	0.97
Class C	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,124.00	1,015.06	10.48	9.95	1.98
Institutional Class	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,129.80	1,020.04	5.20	4.94	0.98
Institutional 2 Class	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,129.50	1,020.19	5.04	4.78	0.95
Institutional 3 Class	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,129.80	1,020.44	4.78	4.53	0.90
Class R	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,126.40	1,017.55	7.85	7.44	1.48

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.

Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

Fair value measurements

The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

■	Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

■	Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

■	Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.

Foreign equity securities actively traded in markets where there is a significant delay in the local close relative to the New York Stock Exchange are classified as Level 2. The values of these securities may include an adjustment to reflect the impact of market movements following the close of local trading, as described in Note 2 to the financial statements – Security valuation.

Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Fair value measurements (continued)
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.

The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets. These assets include certain foreign securities for which a third party statistical pricing service may be employed for purposes of fair market valuation. The model utilized by such third party statistical pricing service takes into account a security’s correlation to available market data including, but not limited to, intraday index, ADR, and exchange-traded fund movements.

Financial Highlights

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Select Global Equity Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

Fund shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers each of the share classes listed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. Different share classes may have different minimum initial investment amounts and pay different net investment income distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of distributing such share classes vary. Distributions to shareholders in a liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class.

As described in the Fund’s prospectus, Class A and Class C shares are offered to the general public for investment. Effective April 1, 2021, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. Prior to April 1, 2021, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares after 10 years. Advisor Class, Institutional Class, Institutional 2 Class, Institutional 3 Class and Class R shares are available for purchase through authorized investment professionals to omnibus retirement plans or to institutional investors and to certain other investors as also described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security valuation

Equity securities listed on an exchange are valued at the closing price or last trade price on their primary exchange at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. Securities with a closing price not readily available or not listed on any exchange are valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. Listed preferred stocks convertible into common stocks are valued using an evaluated price from a pricing service.

Foreign equity securities are valued based on the closing price or last trade price on their primary exchange at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. If any foreign equity security closing prices are not readily available, the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are determined at the scheduled closing time of the New York Stock Exchange. Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board of Trustees. Under the policy, the Fund may utilize a third-party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third-party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange or market, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2021

Investments in open-end investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security, if available.

The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.

GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

Foreign currency transactions and translations

The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are generally translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.

For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.

Security transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

Income recognition

Corporate actions and dividend income are generally recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of an ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.

The Fund may receive distributions from holdings in equity securities, business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds (ETFs), limited partnerships (LPs), other regulated investment companies (RICs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information as to the tax character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on actual information reported. Return of capital is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as a realized gain. With respect to REITs, to the extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). The Investment Manager’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.

Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities on the payment date, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.

Expenses

General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.

Determination of class net asset value

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

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 investment company taxable income and net capital gain, 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 ordinary income, capital gain net income 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.

Foreign taxes

The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable. The amount, if any, is disclosed as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Distributions to shareholders

Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Guarantees and indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates

Management services fees

The Fund has entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets that declines from 0.87% to 0.62% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The effective management services fee rate for the year ended October 31, 2021 was 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2021

Subadvisory agreement

The Fund’s Board of Trustees has approved a Subadvisory Agreement between the Investment Manager and Threadneedle International Limited (Threadneedle), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial. As of October 31, 2021, Threadneedle is not providing services to the Fund pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement.

Participating Affiliates

The Investment Manager and its investment advisory affiliates (Participating Affiliates) around the world may coordinate in providing services to their clients. From time to time the Investment Manager (or any affiliated investment subadviser to the Fund, as the case may be) may engage its Participating Affiliates to provide a variety of services such as investment research, investment monitoring, trading and discretionary investment management (including portfolio management) to certain accounts managed by the Investment Manager, including the Fund. These Participating Affiliates provide services to the Investment Manager (or any affiliated investment subadviser to the Fund as the case may be) either pursuant to subadvisory agreements, personnel-sharing agreements or other inter-company arrangements and the Fund pays no additional fees and expenses as a result of any such arrangements.

These Participating Affiliates, like the Investment Manager, are direct or indirect subsidiaries of Ameriprise Financial and are registered, as appropriate, with respective regulators in their home jurisdictions and, where required, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in the United States.

Pursuant to some of these arrangements, certain employees of these Participating Affiliates may serve as "associated persons" of the Investment Manager and, in this capacity, subject to the oversight and supervision of the Investment Manager and consistent with the investment objectives, policies and limitations set forth in the Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (SAI), may provide such services to the Fund on behalf of the Investment Manager.

Compensation of board members

Members of the Board of Trustees who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Deferred Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. All amounts payable under the Deferred Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund. The expense for the Deferred Plan, which includes Trustees’ fees deferred during the current period as well as any gains or losses on the Trustees’ deferred compensation balances as a result of market fluctuations, is included in "Compensation of board members" on the Statement of Operations.

Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer

The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. As disclosed in the Statement of Operations, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other allocations to affiliated registered investment companies managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates, based on relative net assets.

Transfer agency fees

Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. (DST) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of DST for services as sub-transfer agent and DST is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).

Columbia Select Global Equity Fund | Annual Report 2021

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2021

The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the financial intermediary or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.

The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agency fees for Institutional 2 Class and Institutional 3 Class shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.07% and 0.02%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.

For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:

	Effective rate (%)
Class A	0.09
Advisor Class	0.09
Class C	0.09
Institutional Class	0.09
Institutional 2 Class	0.06
Institutional 3 Class	0.01
Class R	0.09

An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2021, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses of the Fund by $800.

Distribution and service fees

The Fund has entered into an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the Fund pays a fee at the maximum annual rates of up to 0.25%, 1.00% and 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively. For Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% can be reimbursed for distribution expenses and up to an additional 0.25% can be reimbursed for shareholder servicing expenses. For Class R shares, of the 0.50% fee, up to 0.25% can be reimbursed for shareholder servicing expenses.

The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $1,287,000 for Class C shares. This amount is based on the most recent information available as of September 30, 2021, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.

Sales charges (unaudited)

Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the year ended October 31, 2021, if any, are listed below:

	Front End (%)	CDSC (%)	Amount ($)
Class A	5.75	0.50 - 1.00^(a)	441,809
Class C	—	1.00^(b)	1,061

(a)	This charge is imposed on certain investments of between $1 million and $50 million redeemed within 18 months after purchase, as follows: 1.00% if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase, with certain limited exceptions.
(b)	This charge applies to redemptions within 12 months after purchase, with certain limited exceptions.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2021

The Fund’s other share classes are not subject to sales charges.

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates

The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the period(s) disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rate(s) as a percentage of the classes’ average daily net assets:

	Fee rate(s) contractual through February 28, 2023
Class A	1.28%
Advisor Class	1.03
Class C	2.03
Institutional Class	1.03
Institutional 2 Class	0.96
Institutional 3 Class	0.91
Class R	1.53

Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, costs associated with certain shareholder meetings, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

Note 4. Federal tax information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.

At October 31, 2021, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, trustees’ deferred compensation, foreign capital gains tax, net operating loss reclassification and foreign currency transactions. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Excess of distributions over net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized gain ($)	Paid in capital ($)
3,595,299	(3,595,299)	—

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

Columbia Select Global Equity Fund | Annual Report 2021

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2021

The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:

Year Ended October 31, 2021			Year Ended October 31, 2020
Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)	Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)
4,899,113	52,357,399	57,256,512	67,775	14,923,253	14,991,028

Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.

At October 31, 2021, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income ($)	Undistributed long-term capital gains ($)	Capital loss carryforwards ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
11,107,059	63,259,879	—	372,801,798

At October 31, 2021, the cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes along with the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Federal tax cost ($)	Gross unrealized appreciation ($)	Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
512,227,609	378,974,643	(6,172,845)	372,801,798

Tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) may also include timing differences that do not constitute adjustments to tax basis.

Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note 5. Portfolio information

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $355,079,090 and $358,224,269, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2021. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.

Note 6. Affiliated money market fund

The Fund invests in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. The Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.

Note 7. Interfund lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund participates in a program (the Interfund Program) allowing each participating Columbia Fund (each, a Participating Fund) to lend money directly to and, except for closed-end funds and money market funds, borrow money directly from other Participating Funds for temporary purposes. The amounts eligible for borrowing and lending under the Interfund Program are subject to certain restrictions.

28	Columbia Select Global Equity Fund \| Annual Report 2021

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2021

Interfund loans are subject to the risk that the borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due, and a delay in repayment to the lending fund could result in lost opportunities and/or additional lending costs. The exemptive order is subject to conditions intended to mitigate conflicts of interest arising from the Investment Manager’s relationship with each Participating Fund.

The Fund did not borrow or lend money under the Interfund Program during the year ended October 31, 2021.

Note 8. Line of credit

The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. Pursuant to an October 28, 2021 amendment and restatement, the credit facility, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager or an affiliated investment manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest is currently charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.11448% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus in each case, 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the unused amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. This agreement expires annually in October unless extended or renewed. Prior to the October 28, 2021 amendment and restatement, the Fund had access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which permitted collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus in each case, 1.25%.

The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended October 31, 2021.

Note 9. Fund reorganization

At the close of business on July 10, 2020, the Fund acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of Columbia Select Global Growth Fund (the Acquired Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust. The reorganization was completed after the Board of Trustees of the Acquired Fund approved a plan of reorganization at a meeting held in February 2020. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Investment Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies.

The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the reorganization were $533,775,284 and the combined net assets immediately after the reorganization were $611,184,721.

The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 3,788,264 shares of the Acquired Fund valued at $77,409,437 (including $37,166,030 of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)).

In exchange for the Acquired Fund’s shares, the Fund issued the following number of shares:

	Shares
Class A	2,223,020
Advisor Class	171,636
Class C	599,372
Institutional Class	1,473,031
Institutional 2 Class	35,780
Institutional 3 Class	240,528
Class R	41,701

For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the Acquired Fund’s cost of investments was carried forward.

Columbia Select Global Equity Fund | Annual Report 2021

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2021

The Fund’s financial statements reflect both the operations of the Fund for the period prior to the reorganization and the combined Fund for the period subsequent to the reorganization. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Fund that have been included in the combined Fund’s Statement of Operations since the reorganization was completed.

Assuming the reorganization had been completed on November 1, 2019, the Fund’s pro-forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2020 would have been approximately:

	($)
Net investment loss	(2,354,000)
Net realized gain	57,408,000
Net change in unrealized appreciation	53,983,000
Net increase in net assets from operations	109,037,000

Note 10. Significant risks

Foreign securities and emerging market countries risk

Investing in foreign securities may involve certain risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as increased currency volatility and risks associated with political, regulatory, economic, social, diplomatic and other conditions or events occurring in the country or region, which may result in significant market volatility. In addition, certain foreign securities may not be as liquid as U.S. securities. Investing in emerging markets may increase these risks and expose the Fund to elevated risks associated with increased inflation, deflation or currency devaluation. To the extent that the Fund concentrates its investment exposure to any one or a few specific countries, the Fund will be particularly susceptible to the risks associated with the conditions, events or other factors impacting those countries or regions and may, therefore, have a greater risk than that of a fund that is more geographically diversified.

Information technology sector risk

The Fund is more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the information technology sector than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors. Companies in the information technology sector are subject to certain risks, including the risk that new services, equipment or technologies will not be accepted by consumers and businesses or will become rapidly obsolete. Performance of such companies may be affected by factors including obtaining and protecting patents (or the failure to do so) and significant competitive pressures, including aggressive pricing of their products or services, new market entrants, competition for market share and short product cycles due to an accelerated rate of technological developments. Such competitive pressures may lead to limited earnings and/or falling profit margins. As a result, the value of their securities may fall or fail to rise. In addition, many information technology sector companies have limited operating histories and prices of these companies’ securities historically have been more volatile than other securities, especially over the short term. Some companies in the information technology sector are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action, which could negatively impact the value of their securities.

Market and environment risk

The Fund may incur losses due to declines in the value of one or more securities in which it invests. These declines may be due to factors affecting a particular issuer, or the result of, among other things, political, regulatory, market, economic or social developments affecting the relevant market(s) more generally. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the Fund, including causing difficulty in assigning prices to hard-to-value assets in thinly traded and closed markets, significant redemptions and operational challenges. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. As a result, local, regional or global events

such as terrorism, war, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions, depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a significant negative impact on global economic and market conditions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant global economic and societal disruption and market volatility due to disruptions in market access, resource availability, facilities operations, imposition of tariffs, export controls and supply chain disruption, among others. Such disruptions may be caused, or exacerbated by, quarantines and travel restrictions, workforce displacement and loss in human and other resources. The uncertainty surrounding the magnitude, duration, reach, costs and effects of the global pandemic, as well as actions that have been or could be taken by governmental authorities or other third parties, present unknowns that are yet to unfold. The impacts, as well as the uncertainty over impacts to come, of COVID-19 – and any other infectious illness outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future – could negatively affect global economies and markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illness outbreaks and epidemics in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems, governments and financial markets. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The disruptions caused by COVID-19 could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objectives. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund.

Shareholder concentration risk

At October 31, 2021, affiliated shareholders of record owned 67.7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Note 11. Subsequent events

Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.

Note 12. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings

Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Fund is not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Fund. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sale of Fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Fund. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Fund, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial or one or more of its affiliates that provides services to the Fund.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Select Global Equity Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust II, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of October 31, 2021, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and broker. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Management and Subadvisory

Agreements

Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager, and together with its domestic and global affiliates, Columbia Threadneedle Investments), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), serves as the investment manager to Columbia Select Global Equity Fund (the Fund). Under a management agreement (the Management Agreement), the Investment Manager provides investment advice and other services to the Fund and other funds distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the Funds). In addition, under a Subadvisory Agreement (the Subadvisory Agreement) between the Investment Manager and Threadneedle International Limited (the Subadviser), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, the Subadviser has provided portfolio management and related services for the Fund.

On an annual basis, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement (together, the Advisory Agreements). The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee in November and December 2020 and March, April and June 2021, including reports providing the results of analyses performed by an independent third-party data provider, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), and a comprehensive response to requests for information by independent legal counsels to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel) in a letter to the Investment Manager, to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the various committees, such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Oversight Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

The Board, at its June 15, 2021 Board meeting (the June Meeting), considered the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements for additional one-year terms. At the June Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various factors relevant to the Board’s consideration of advisory and subadvisory agreements and the Board’s legal responsibilities related to such consideration. The Independent Trustees considered all information that they, their legal counsel or the Investment Manager believed reasonably necessary to evaluate and to approve the continuation of each of the Advisory Agreements. Among other things, the information and factors considered included the following:

•	Information on the investment performance of the Fund relative to the performance of a group of mutual funds determined to be comparable to the Fund by Broadridge, as well as performance relative to benchmarks;

Table of Contents

Approval of Management and Subadvisory

Agreements (continued)

•	Information on the Fund’s management fees and total expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of comparable mutual funds, as determined by Broadridge;

•

The Investment Manager’s agreement to contractually limit or cap total operating expenses for the Fund so that total operating expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses, such as transaction costs and certain other investment related expenses, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and infrequent and/or unusual expenses) would not exceed a specified annual rate, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets;

•	Terms of the Advisory Agreements;

•	Subadvisory fees payable by the Investment Manager under the Subadvisory Agreement;

•	Descriptions of other agreements and arrangements with affiliates of the Investment Manager relating to the operations of the Fund, including agreements with respect to the provision of transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund;

•	Descriptions of various services performed by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser under the Advisory Agreements, including portfolio management and portfolio trading practices;

•	Information regarding any recently negotiated management fees of similarly-managed portfolios of other institutional clients of the Investment Manager;

•	Information regarding the resources of the Investment Manager and Subadviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel;

•	Information regarding the capabilities of the Investment Manager and the Subadviser with respect to compliance monitoring services;

•	The profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; and

•	Report provided by the Board’s independent fee consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC (JDL).

Following an analysis and discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements.

Nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser

The Board analyzed various reports and presentations it had received detailing the services performed by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, as well as their history, expertise, resources and relative capabilities, and the qualifications of their personnel.

The Board specifically considered the many developments during recent years concerning the services provided by the Investment Manager, including, in particular, detailed information regarding the process employed for selecting and overseeing affiliated and unaffiliated Subadvisers. With respect to the Investment Manager, the Board also noted the organization and depth of the equity and credit research departments. The Board further observed the enhancements to the investment risk management department’s processes, systems and oversight, over the past several years, as well as planned 2021 initiatives in this regard. The Board also took into account the broad scope of services provided by the Investment Manager to each subadvised Fund, including, among other services, investment, risk and compliance oversight. The Board also took into account the information it received concerning the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain key portfolio management personnel and that it has sufficient resources to provide competitive and adequate compensation to investment personnel. The Board also observed that the Investment Manager has been able to effectively manage, operate and distribute the Funds through the COVID-19 pandemic period with no disruptions in services provided.

Agreements (continued)

account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of the Investment Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.

In addition, the Board discussed the acceptability of the terms of the Management Agreement (including the relatively broad scope of services required to be performed by the Investment Manager in addition to monitoring the Subadviser), noting that no changes are proposed from the forms of agreements previously approved. The Board also noted the wide array of legal and compliance services provided to the Funds under the Fund Management Agreements.

With respect to the Subadviser, the Board observed that it had previously approved the Subadviser’s code of ethics and compliance program, that the Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund continues to monitor the code and the program, and that no material concerns relating to the Fund have been reported. The Board also considered the Subadviser’s organizational strength and resources, portfolio management team depth and capabilities and investment process. The Board also considered the Subadviser’s capability and wherewithal to carry out its responsibilities under the Subadvisory Agreement. In addition, the Board discussed the acceptability of the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement, including the scope of services required to be performed. The Board noted that the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement are generally consistent with the terms of other subadviser agreements for subadvisers who manage other funds managed by the Investment Manager. It was observed that no changes were recommended to the Subadvisory Agreement. The Board took into account the Investment Manager’s representation that the Subadviser was in a position to provide quality services to the Fund. In this regard, the Board further observed the various services provided by the subadvisory oversight team and their significant resources added in recent years.

After reviewing these and related factors (including investment performance as discussed below), the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreements supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement.

Investment performance

In this connection, the Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the performance of a benchmark index, (iii) the percentage ranking of the Fund among its comparison group, (iv) the Fund’s performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (v) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed that the Fund’s performance for certain periods ranked above median based on information provided by Broadridge.

Additionally, the Board reviewed the performance of the Subadviser. The Board considered, in particular, management’s rationale for recommending the continued retention of the Subadviser.

The Board also reviewed a description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.

The Board also considered the Investment Manager’s and Subadviser‘s performance and reputation generally, and the Investment Manager’s evaluation of the Subadviser’s contribution to the Fund’s broader investment mandate. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the performance of the Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement.

Comparative fees, costs of services provided and the profits realized by the Investment Manager, its affiliates and the Subadviser from their relationships with the Fund

The Board reviewed comparative fees and the costs of services provided under each of the Advisory Agreements. The Board members considered detailed comparative information set forth in an annual report on fees and expenses, including, among other things, data (based on analyses conducted by Broadridge and JDL) showing a comparison of the Fund’s expenses with median expenses paid by funds in its comparative peer universe, as well as data showing the Fund’s contribution to the Investment Manager’s profitability.

Columbia Select Global Equity Fund | Annual Report 2021

Table of Contents

Approval of Management and Subadvisory

Agreements (continued)

The Board considered the reports of JDL, which assisted in the Board’s analysis of the Funds’ performance and expenses and the reasonableness of the Funds’ fee rates. The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that a primary objective of the level of fees is to achieve a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with certain exceptions) are generally in line with the current "pricing philosophy" such that Fund total expense ratios, in general, approximate or are lower than the median expense ratios of funds in the same Lipper comparison universe. The Board took into account that the Fund’s total expense ratio (after considering proposed expense caps/waivers) approximated the peer universe’s median expense ratio.

Additionally, the Board reviewed the level of subadvisory fees paid to the Subadviser, noting that the fees are paid by the Investment Manager and do not impact the fees paid by the Fund. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees, subadvisory fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of each of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement.

The Board also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. The Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board considered that in 2020 the Board had concluded that 2019 profitability was reasonable and that the 2021 information shows that the profitability generated by the Investment Manager in 2020 increased slightly from 2019 levels. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement.

Economies of scale

The Board considered the potential existence of economies of scale in the provision by the Investment Manager of services to the Fund, to groups of related funds, and to the Investment Manager as a whole, and whether those economies of scale were shared with the Fund through breakpoints in investment management fees or other means, such as expense limitation arrangements and additional investments by the Investment Manager in investment, trading, compliance and other resources. The Board considered the economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s net asset level grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit from such growth. In this regard, the Board took into account that management fees decline as Fund assets exceed various breakpoints, all of which have not been surpassed. The Board observed that the Management Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement provided for breakpoints in the management fee rate schedule that allow opportunities for shareholders to realize lower fees as Fund assets grow and that there are additional opportunities through other means for sharing economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also noted that the breakpoints in the Subadvisory Agreement did not occur at the same levels as the breakpoints in the Management Agreement. In this regard, the Board noted the potential challenges of seeking to tailor the Management Agreement breakpoints to those of a subadvisory agreement in this context.

Conclusion

The Board reviewed all of the above considerations in reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement. In reaching its conclusions, no single factor was determinative.

On June 15, 2021, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that fees payable under each of the Advisory Agreements were fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services provided and approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 63.49% excluding sales charges. The Fund significantly outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI World Information Technology Index (Net), which returned 46.76% for the same time period.

Market overview

The year in review was a positive, albeit volatile period, for equities. Markets fared particularly well over the first half of the period. Sentiment was bolstered by landmark results in COVID-19 vaccine trials in November 2020 and resulting hopes of a return to ‘normality’. Investors were also encouraged by the last-minute Brexit deal, Joe Biden’s election victory and the anticipation and delivery of further U.S. fiscal stimulus. These developments led investors to favor value stocks that were likely to benefit from the reopening of economies, rather than defensive growth names.

From June onwards, the rally ebbed owing to the emergence of the more contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus. This led to lockdowns being reimposed in some countries, notably in emerging markets (EMs), where vaccination rates continued to lag those in developed countries. Meanwhile, as developed economies returned to ‘normal’, investors fretted about rising inflation, particularly given growing evidence of supply-chain bottlenecks. There were concerns that rising prices could lead key central banks to rein in their accommodative measures. Notably, Federal Reserve officials indicated that U.S. interest rates could be raised as soon as next year, though as late as June 2021, investors were not anticipating any rate hikes until 2023.

Within the benchmark MSCI World Information Technology Index, the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment, communications equipment and software industries outperformed while the IT services, electronic equipment instruments and components lagged for the reporting period.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	Stock selection primarily drove the Fund’s significant outperformance of the benchmark, most notably in the semiconductor, software and technology hardware storage and peripherals industries.
•	Allocations played a secondary role in the Fund’s strong performance, particularly an overweight relative to the benchmark in the strong-performing semiconductor and semiconductor equipment industry, as well as an underweight to the IT services industry, which lagged during the period.
•	Internet of Things (IoT) chip company Synaptics was among the top individual contributors to overall performance. Synaptics reported results that beat expectations and forecasted continued revenue growth. This growth was driven by strong demand, which has created a backlog of orders that represents most of next year’s revenues despite continued supply chain disruptions. The company’s diversified supply chain has helped them fare better than competitors in gaining access to more supply. Synaptics IoT offerings, which carry higher margins, represented half of the company’s total revenues. Over the past year, the company has diversified away from its concentrated reliance on Apple as a customer and moved into multiple IoT end markets including automotive, audio, video, docking and wireless applications.
•	Top holdings in semi-cap equipment companies Lam Research and Applied Materials contributed meaningfully to returns during the period, both of which continued to benefit from a global semiconductor shortage and the industry’s response of higher wafer fab equipment (WFE) spending which has increased from a record high of $60B in 2020.
•	Within software, cybersecurity holding Fortinet reported strong earnings that beat expectations. Fortinet’s product architecture has seen high demand as the growing remote workforce has driven efforts to increase cybersecurity of corporate networks.

Columbia Seligman Global Technology Fund | Annual Report 2021

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)

•

Within industrials, the portfolio’s holding in Bloom Energy Corp. continued to increase in value, as investors looking to benefit from a Biden administration that is more favorable to alternative energy bid up the entire solar, wind and hydrogen sectors. Bloom’s fuel cells can also produce hydrogen extremely efficiently, which we believe makes them a uniquely positioned company if hydrogen is successful as a next generation alternative energy source to combat climate change. July brought an announcement that Bloom’s solid oxide fuel cells will be installed in a combined heat and power project in South Korea, the first utility-scale use of the technology. Construction is expected to start in 2021.

•

An out-of-benchmark holding in Google parent Alphabet contributed to returns within the communication services sector’s interactive media industry. Alphabet continued to benefit from a recovery in advertising, rising margins, cloud profit improvement and greater capital returns. We believe the company’s Search and YouTube divisions are well-positioned to support an increasingly digital economy.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	The Fund’s smallest allocation, an out-of-benchmark weighting to the health care sector, delivered the weakest returns for the period.
•	Within the communication services sector, an out-of-benchmark position in video game publisher Activision Blizzard weighed on Fund results. While the company beat revenue and earnings expectations during the period, guidance was lower than consensus, which sent shares lower. Furthermore, the firm was embroiled in the news over workplace employment issues which weighed on sentiment.
•	Within IT services, a Fund position in GoDaddy, Inc., a global web domain registrar and web hosting company, was weak, as guidance for the year’s second half was not well received.
•	Microsoft continued to perform well due to high demand for their cloud-based offering Azure and strength in the company’s Office360 suite of products. Microsoft represents a large weighting in the benchmark and the portfolio’s relative underweight detracted from relative returns.
•	Not owning semiconductor companies NVIDIA and ASML on valuation concerns hurt relative performance as these stocks rallied on an uptick in their businesses from people spending more time at home.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. The products of technology companies may be subject to severe competition and rapid obsolescence, and their stocks may be subject to greater price fluctuations. Investments in small- and mid-cap companies involve risks and volatility greater than investments in larger, more established companies. Foreign investments subject the fund to risks, including political, economic, market, social and others within a particular country, as well as to currency instabilities and less stringent financial and accounting standards generally applicable to U.S. issuers. As a non-diversified fund, fewer investments could have a greater effect on performance. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Fair value measurements

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

■	Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

■	Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

■	Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Portfolio of Investments (continued)

Fair value measurements (continued)
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.

The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at October 31, 2021:

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Seligman Global Technology Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a non-diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

Basis of preparation

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security valuation

20	Columbia Seligman Global Technology Fund \| Annual Report 2021

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2021

Investments in open-end investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.

Foreign currency transactions and translations

Derivative instruments

The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, in seeking to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.

A derivative instrument may suffer a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, additional counterparty credit risk is failure of the clearinghouse or CCP. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the

Columbia Seligman Global Technology Fund | Annual Report 2021

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2021

aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients and such shortfall is remedied by the CCP or otherwise, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and foreign exchange forward contracts and contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms for most over-the-counter derivatives are subject to regulatory requirements to exchange variation margin with trading counterparties and may have contract specific margin terms as well. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund may also pay interest expense on cash collateral received from the broker. Any interest expense paid by the Fund is shown on the Statement of Operations. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In determining whether to exercise such termination rights, the Fund would consider, in addition to counterparty credit risk, whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Options contracts

Options are contracts which entitle the holder to purchase or sell securities or other identified assets at a specified price, or in the case of index option contracts, to receive or pay the difference between the index value and the strike price of the index option contract. Option contracts can be either exchange-traded or over-the-counter. The Fund purchased and has written option contracts to decrease the Fund’s exposure to equity market risk, to increase return on investments and to facilitate buying and selling of securities for investments. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Completion of transactions for option contracts traded in the over-the-counter market depends upon the performance of the other party. Collateral may be collected or posted by the Fund to secure over-the-counter option contract trades. Collateral held or posted by the Fund for such option contract trades must be returned to the broker or the Fund upon closure, exercise or expiration of the contract.

Options contracts purchased are recorded as investments. When the Fund writes an options contract, the premium received is recorded as an asset and an amount equivalent to the premium is recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current fair value of the option written. Changes in the fair value of the written option are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is exercised or has expired. The Fund

22	Columbia Seligman Global Technology Fund \| Annual Report 2021

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2021

realizes a gain or loss when the option contract is closed or expires. When option contracts are exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call or purchased put option contract, or the purchase cost for a written put or purchased call option contract, is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

For over-the-counter options purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Option contracts written by the Fund do not typically give rise to significant counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform. The risk in writing a call option contract is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases above the strike price and the option contract is exercised. The risk in writing a put option contract is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases below the strike price and the option contract is exercised. Exercise of a written option could result in the Fund purchasing or selling a security or foreign currency when it otherwise would not, or at a price different from the current market value. In purchasing and writing options, the Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market.

Distribution and service fees

The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $3,748,000 for Class C shares. This amount is based on the most recent information available as of September 30, 2021, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.

Sales charges (unaudited)

Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the year ended October 31, 2021, if any, are listed below:

	Front End (%)	CDSC (%)	Amount ($)
Class A	5.75	0.50 - 1.00^(a)	560,301
Class C	—	1.00^(b)	4,282

(a)	This charge is imposed on certain investments of between $1 million and $50 million redeemed within 18 months after purchase, as follows: 1.00% if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase, with certain limited exceptions.
(b)	This charge applies to redemptions within 12 months after purchase, with certain limited exceptions.

The Fund’s other share classes are not subject to sales charges.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At October 31, 2021, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, trustees’ deferred compensation, distribution reclassifications, net operating loss reclassification and foreign currency transactions. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Excess of distributions over net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized gain ($)	Paid in capital ($)
5,378,947	(5,378,947)	—

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the Fund, including causing difficulty in assigning prices to hard-to-value assets in thinly traded and closed markets, significant redemptions and operational challenges. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. As a result, local, regional or global events such as terrorism, war, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions, depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a significant negative impact on global economic and market conditions.

Non-diversification risk

A non-diversified fund is permitted to invest a greater percentage of its total assets in fewer issuers than a diversified fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by the Fund could affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect that of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Fund’s value will likely be more volatile than the value of a more diversified fund.

Shareholder concentration risk

At October 31, 2021, affiliated shareholders of record owned 28.8% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust II and Shareholders of Columbia Seligman Global Technology Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Seligman Global Technology Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust II, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of October 31, 2021, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Management Agreement

On an annual basis, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the Management Agreement. The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee in November and December 2020 and March, April and June 2021, including reports providing the results of analyses performed by an independent third-party data provider, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), and a comprehensive response to requests for information by independent legal counsels to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel) in a letter to the Investment Manager, to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the various committees, such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Oversight Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the Management Agreement.

The Board, at its June 15, 2021 Board meeting (the June Meeting), considered the renewal of the Management Agreement for an additional one-year term. At the June Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various factors relevant to the Board’s consideration of advisory agreements and the Board’s legal responsibilities related to such consideration. The Independent Trustees considered all information that they, their legal counsel or the Investment Manager believed reasonably necessary to evaluate and to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. Among other things, the information and factors considered included the following:

•	Information on the investment performance of the Fund relative to the performance of a group of mutual funds determined to be comparable to the Fund by Broadridge, as well as performance relative to benchmarks;

•	Information on the Fund’s management fees and total expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of comparable mutual funds, as determined by Broadridge;

•

•	Terms of the Management Agreement;

•	Descriptions of other agreements and arrangements with affiliates of the Investment Manager relating to the operations of the Fund, including agreements with respect to the provision of transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund;

•	Descriptions of various services performed by the Investment Manager under the Management Agreement, including portfolio management and portfolio trading practices;

•	Information regarding any recently negotiated management fees of similarly-managed portfolios of other institutional clients of the Investment Manager;

•	Information regarding the resources of the Investment Manager, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel;

•	Information regarding the capabilities of the Investment Manager with respect to compliance monitoring services;

•	The profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; and

•	Report provided by the Board’s independent fee consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC (JDL).

Following an analysis and discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Management Agreement.

Nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager

The Board analyzed various reports and presentations it had received detailing the services performed by the Investment Manager, as well as its history, expertise, resources and relative capabilities, and the qualifications of its personnel.

The Board specifically considered the many developments during recent years concerning the services provided by the Investment Manager. Among other things, the Board noted the organization and depth of the equity and credit research departments. The Board further observed the enhancements to the investment risk management department’s processes, systems and oversight, over the past several years, as well as planned 2021 initiatives in this regard. The Board also took into account the broad scope of services provided by the Investment Manager to the Fund, including, among other services, investment, risk and compliance oversight. The Board also took into account the information it received concerning the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain key portfolio management personnel and that it has sufficient resources to provide competitive and adequate compensation to investment personnel. The Board also observed that the Investment Manager has been able to effectively manage, operate and distribute the Funds through the COVID-19 pandemic period with no disruptions in services provided.

In connection with the Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board also considered the nature, quality and range of administrative services provided to the Fund by the Investment Manager, as well as the achievements in 2020 in the performance of administrative services, and noted the various enhancements anticipated for 2021. In evaluating the quality of services provided under the Management Agreement, the Board also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of the Investment Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.

In addition, the Board discussed the acceptability of the terms of the Management Agreement, noting that no changes are proposed from the form of agreement previously approved. The Board also noted the wide array of legal and compliance services provided to the Funds under the Fund Management Agreements.

After reviewing these and related factors (including investment performance as discussed below), the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

Investment performance

In this connection, the Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the performance of a benchmark index, (iii) the percentage ranking of the Fund among its comparison group, (iv) the Fund’s performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (v) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed that Fund performance was well within the range of that of peers.

The Board also reviewed a description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.

The Board also considered the Investment Manager’s performance and reputation generally. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the performance of the Fund and the Investment Manager, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

Comparative fees, costs of services provided and the profits realized by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund

The Board reviewed comparative fees and the costs of services provided under the Management Agreement. The Board members considered detailed comparative information set forth in an annual report on fees and expenses, including, among other things, data (based on analyses conducted by Broadridge and JDL) showing a comparison of the Fund’s expenses with median expenses paid by funds in its comparative peer universe, as well as data showing the Fund’s contribution to the Investment Manager’s profitability. The Board reviewed the fees charged to comparable institutional or other accounts/vehicles managed by the Investment Manager, including accounts subadvised by the Investment Manager, and discussed differences in how the products are managed and operated, thus explaining many of the differences in fees.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

The Board also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. With respect to the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board considered that in 2020 the Board had considered 2019 profitability and that the 2021 information showed that the profitability generated by the Investment Manager in 2020 increased slightly from 2019 levels. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

The Board considered the potential existence of economies of scale in the provision by the Investment Manager of services to the Fund, to groups of related funds, and to the Investment Manager as a whole, and whether those economies of scale were shared with the Fund through breakpoints in investment management fees or other means, such as expense limitation arrangements and additional investments by the Investment Manager in investment, trading, compliance and other resources. The Board considered the economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s net asset level grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit from such growth. In this regard, the Board took into account that management fees decline as Fund assets exceed various breakpoints, all of which have not been surpassed. The Board observed that the Management Agreement provided for breakpoints in the management fee rate schedule that allow opportunities for shareholders to realize lower fees as Fund assets grow and that there are additional opportunities through other means for sharing economies of scale with shareholders.

Conclusion

The Board reviewed all of the above considerations in reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. In reaching its conclusions, no single factor was determinative.

On June 15, 2021, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that fees payable under the Management Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services provided and approved the renewal of the Management Agreement.
