Part 6	Distribution Options: (Complete section A and/or B.)

About the sale of Tri-Continental Corporation shares:

If you have outstanding stock certificates, you must send your stock certificates to the Service Agent (this is one of the requirements for your sell order to be considered received in "good form"). We recommend using registered mail when returning outstanding certificates for 2% of the current market value of the shares. The recommended insurance amount is based on the premium for a lost certificate bond in the event the certificate is lost in transit.

Distributions for Tri-continental are generally priced one time per week, typically each Wednesday. A sell order received in "good form" on a Thursday will not be processed (and your shares not sold) until the following Wednesday, provided that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business on such day.

I authorize Tri-Continental Corporation or its Service Agent to liquidate the amount indicated from the account number(s) listed below.
