Dianne Neal Blixt Phantom Stock Award as Ameriprise Financial Director

This Form 4 filing reports that Dianne Neal Blixt, a director of Ameriprise Financial Inc., received 441.7518 phantom stock units on April 29, 2026, as part of her annual director compensation. The phantom stock units represent the right to receive one share of Ameriprise common stock each and were awarded at no cost. Following this transaction, Blixt holds a total of 13,122.6137 phantom stock units. The filing notes that upon ceasing to be a non-employee director, Blixt will receive common stock in settlement of her deferred share units on a one-for-one basis in a lump sum at the end of the quarter following her termination. This represents routine director compensation through phantom stock units rather than actual equity ownership, with the units converting to common stock upon departure from the board.
