                             SUMMARY OF PROPOSALS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Proposal                                         Shareholders Voting
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      To Elect a Board of Trustees                     All
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                       PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

At the Meeting,  ten (10) Trustees are to be elected. If elected, the Trustees
will serve  indefinite  terms until their  successors are properly elected and
qualified.  The persons named as  attorneys-in-fact in the enclosed proxy have
advised  the Fund  that,  unless a proxy  ballot  instructs  them to  withhold
authority  to vote for all listed  nominees  or any  individual  nominee,  all
validly  executed  proxies  will  be  voted  for  the  election  of all of the
nominees named below.

As a  Massachusetts  business  trust,  the Fund is not required,  and does not
intend,  to hold  annual  shareholder  meetings  for the  purpose of  electing
Trustees.  As a result, if elected,  the Trustees will hold office until their
successors are duly elected and shall have  qualified.  If a nominee should be
unable  to accept  election,  serve  his or her term or  resign,  the Board of
Trustees may,  subject to the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 (referred to in
this proxy  statement as the  "Investment  Company Act"),  in its  discretion,
select another person to fill the vacant position.

Although the Fund will not normally hold annual meetings of its  shareholders,
it may hold shareholder  meetings from time to time on important matters,  and
shareholders  have the right to call a meeting  to remove a Trustee or to take
other action  described in the Fund's  Declaration  of Trust.  Also, if at any
time, less than a majority of the Trustees  holding office has been elected by
the   shareholders,   the  Trustees  then  in  office  will  promptly  call  a
shareholders' meeting for the purpose of electing Trustees.

Each of the  nominees,  except for Mrs.  Hamilton  and Mr.  Malone,  currently
serves as a Trustee of the Fund.  Each of the  nominees  has  consented  to be
named as such in this proxy statement and to serve as Trustee if elected.  All
present  Trustees  of the Fund have  previously  been  elected  by the  Fund's
shareholders,  except  for Mr.  Cameron  who was  appointed  as a  Trustee  in
December 1999,  Mr.  Marshall who was appointed as a Trustee in December 2000,
and Mr. Murphy who was  appointed as a Trustee  effective  October 2001.  Mrs.
Hamilton and Mr. Malone will be Trustees if elected.  Each of the Trustees and
nominees  serve as  trustee  or  director  of other  funds in the  Oppenheimer
family of funds.  The  Oppenheimer  funds on which  each of the  Trustees  and
nominees  currently  serves are  referred to as "Board II Funds" in this proxy
statement.

Except for Mr. Murphy,  each of the Trustees is an independent  trustee of the
Fund  ("Independent  Trustee").  Each of the nominees  will be an  Independent
Trustee if  elected.  Mr.  Murphy is an  "interested  person" (as that term is
defined in the  Investment  Company Act) of the Fund because he is  affiliated
with  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc. (the "Manager") by virtue of his positions as an
officer  and  director  of the  Manager,  and as a  shareholder  of its parent
company.  Mr.  Murphy  was  appointed  as a  Trustee  of  the  Fund  with  the
understanding  that in the event he ceases to be the Chief  Executive  Officer
of the  Manager,  he will  resign as a trustee of the Fund and the other Board
II Funds for which he is a trustee or director.

The Fund's  Trustees  and length of service as well as their and the  nominees
principal  occupations  and business  affiliations  during the past five years
are listed below.  The information for the Trustees and nominees also includes
the dollar range of shares of the Fund as well as the  aggregate  dollar range
of shares  beneficially  owned in any of the Oppenheimer funds overseen by the
Trustees.

The  address of each  Trustee and nominee in the chart below is 6803 S. Tucson
Way, Centennial,  CO 80112-3924.  If elected,  each Trustee and nominee serves
for an indefinite  term, until his or her  resignation,  retirement,  death or
removal.

A. General Information Regarding the Board of Trustees.

The  Fund is  governed  by a Board  of  Trustees,  which  is  responsible  for
protecting  the  interests of  shareholders.  The Trustees  meet  periodically
throughout the year to oversee the Fund's  activities,  review its performance
and review the actions of the  Manager,  which is  responsible  for the Fund's
day-to-day  operations.  Ten  meetings  of the  Trustees  were held during the
fiscal year ended July 31, 2004.  Each of the  incumbent  Trustees was present
for at least 75% of the  aggregate  number of Board of Trustees  meetings  and
committees on which that Trustee served that were held during the period.

B. Committees of the Board of Trustees.

The Board of Trustees has  appointed  standing  Audit,  Review and  Governance
Committees.

The Audit Committee is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The members
of the Audit Committee are Edward L. Cameron (Chairman), George C. Bowen and
F. William Marshall, Jr. If elected, Robert J. Malone will serve as a member
of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee held 6 meetings during the fiscal
year ended July 31, 2004. The Audit Committee is in charge of the selection
of the Fund's independent auditors. Other main functions of the Audit
Committee include, but are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and
results of financial statement audits and the audit fees charged; (ii)
reviewing reports from the Fund's independent auditors regarding the Fund's
internal accounting procedures and controls; (iii) reviewing certain reports
from and meeting periodically with the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer; (iv)
reviewing reports from the Manager's Internal Audit Department; (v)
maintaining a separate line of communication between the Fund's independent
auditors and its Independent Trustees; and (vi) exercising all other
functions outlined in the Audit Committee Charter, including but not limited
to reviewing the independence of the Fund's independent auditors and the
pre-approval of the performance by the Fund's independent auditors of any
audit and non-audit service, including tax service, for the Fund and the
Manager and certain affiliates of the Manager that is not prohibited by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The members of the Review Committee are Jon S. Fossel (Chairman), Robert G.
Avis and Sam Freedman. If elected, Beverly Hamilton will serve as a member of
the Review Committee. The Review Committee, comprised solely of Independent
Trustees, held 6 meetings during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. Among
other functions, the Review Committee reviews reports and makes
recommendations to the Board concerning the fees paid to the Fund's transfer
agent and the Manager and the services provided to the Fund by the transfer
agent and the Manager. The Review Committee also reviews the Fund's
investment performance and policies and procedures adopted by the Fund to
comply with Investment Company Act and other applicable law.

The members of the Governance Committee are William Armstrong (Acting
Chairman) and F. William Marshall, Jr. If elected, Robert J. Malone will
serve as Chairman and Beverly Hamilton will serves as a member of the
Governance Committee.  The Governance Committee is comprised solely of
Independent Trustees. Each of the nominees will be Independent Trustees if
elected. The Governance Committee was established in August 2004 and did not
hold any meetings during the Fund's fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. The
Governance Committee is expected to consider general governance matters,
including a formal process for shareholders to send communications to the
Board and the qualifications of candidates for board positions including
consideration of any candidate recommended by shareholders.

The Governance Committee has not yet adopted a charter, but anticipates that
it will do so shortly. The Committee has temporarily adopted the process
previously adopted by the Audit Committee regarding shareholder submission of
nominees for board positions. Shareholders may submit names of individuals,
accompanied by complete and properly supported resumes, for the Governance
Committee's consideration by mailing such information to the Committee in
care of the Fund. The Committee may consider such persons at such time as it
meets to consider possible nominees. The Committee, however, reserves sole
discretion to determine the candidates for trustees and independent trustees
to recommend to the Board and/or shareholders and may identify candidates
other than those submitted by shareholders. The Committee may, but need not,
consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and its affiliates in
selecting nominees. The full Board elects new trustees except for those
instances when a shareholder vote is required.

Shareholders who desire to communicate with the Board should address
correspondence to the Board of Trustees of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate
Fund, or to an individual Trustee c/o the Secretary of the Fund at 6803 South
Tucson Way, Centennial, CO 80112 and may submit their correspondence
electronically at www.oppenheimerfunds.com under the caption "contact us." If
                  ------------------------
your correspondence is intended for a particular Trustee, please indicate the
name of the Trustee for whom it is intended. The sender should indicate in
the address whether it is intended for the entire board, the Independent
Trustees as a group, or to an individual Trustee. The Governance Committee
will consider if a different process should be recommended to the Board. The
Governance Committee also considers Board and Committee compensation.

Based on the Audit  Committee's  recommendation,  the Board of Trustees of the
Fund,  including a majority of the  Independent  Trustees,  at a meeting  held
August 23, 2004,  selected  Deloitte & Touche LLP  ("Deloitte") as auditors of
the Fund for the fiscal year  beginning  August 1, 2004.  Deloitte also serves
as auditors for certain  other funds for which the Manager acts as  investment
advisor  and  through  the  completion  of the  December  31,  2003  financial
statements  provided  certain  auditing  and  non-auditing  services  for  the
Manager, the Manager's parent company and its subsidiaries.

1. Audit Fees.

During  the  fiscal  years  ended July 31,  2003 and July 31,  2004,  Deloitte
performed  audit  services  for the Fund  including  the  audit of the  Fund's
financial  statements,  review of the Fund's  annual  report and  registration
statement  amendment,  consultation  on  financial  accounting  and  reporting
matters and meetings with the Board of Trustees.  The aggregate fees billed by
Deloitte  for those  services  for the fiscal  year  ended July 31,  2003 were
$19,500 and for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004 were $21,000.

2. Audit-Related Fees

There were no audit-related fees billed by Deloitte for services rendered to
the Fund for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2003 and July 31, 2004.

During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2003 and 2004, Deloitte billed the
Manager or the Manager's parent company and certain affiliated companies that
provide ongoing services to the Fund. Deloitte was paid a total of $34,734 in
2003 and $5,525 in 2004 for those services.

Such fees were paid for due diligence related to fund mergers, accounting
consultations and audits in connection with fund mergers, internal control
reviews and consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting
standards.

3. Tax Fees

There were no tax fees billed by Deloitte for services rendered to the Fund
for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2003 and July 31, 2004.

Deloitte provided certain tax accounting and other consulting services to the
Manager or the Manager's parent company and certain affiliated companies that
provide ongoing services to the Fund. Deloitte was paid a total of $10,448 in
2003 and $0 in 2004 for those services.

Such fees were paid for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice. Tax
compliance generally involves assistance with the preparation of certain tax
returns, claims for a refund and tax payment-planning services. Tax planning
and tax advice includes assistance with tax audits and appeals, tax advice
related to fund mergers and requests for rulings or technical advice from
taxing authorities.

4. All Other Fees.

There were no fees billed by Deloitte for services  rendered to the Fund other
than the  services  described  above under  "Audit  Fees" for the fiscal years
ended July 31, 2003 and July 31, 2004.

During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2003 and 2004,  Deloitte  billed $3,500
and $0,  respectively,  to the  Manager or the  Manager's  parent  company and
certain affiliated companies that provide ongoing services to the Fund.

Such fees were paid for  services  provided  to the Fund's  Board of  Trustees
with  respect  to  the  annual  renewal  of  the  Fund's  investment  advisory
agreement.

During its regularly scheduled periodic meetings, the Audit Committee will
pre-approve all audit, audit-related, tax and other services to be provided
by Deloitte. The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its
Chairman for any subsequent new engagements that arise between regularly
scheduled meeting dates provided that any such fees pre-approved are
presented to the Audit Committee and approved at its next regularly scheduled
meeting.

Pre-approval of non-audit services is waived provided that: 1) the aggregate
amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of
the total amount of fees paid by the Fund to it principal accountant during
the fiscal year in which services are provided 2) such services were not
recognized by the Fund at the time of engagement as non-audit services and 3)
such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee
and approved prior to the completion of the audit.

The Audit Committee approved 100% of the services under "Audit-Related  Fees,"
"Tax  Fees"  and  "All  Other   Fees"   since  the   effective   date  of  the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

As set forth  above,  the  aggregate  non-audit  fees billed by  Deloitte  for
services  rendered to the Manager as well as the Manager's  parent company and
certain  affiliated  companies that provide  ongoing  services to the Fund for
the  fiscal  years  ended  July 31,  2003 and 2004 were  $48,682  and  $5,525,
respectively.

The Audit  Committee of the Fund's Board of Trustees  has  considered  whether
the provision of non-audit  services that were rendered to the Manager as well
as the Manager's parent company and certain affiliated  companies that provide
ongoing  services to the Fund that were not  pre-approved  is compatible  with
maintaining  Deloitte's  independence.  The Audit Committee concluded that the
provision  of  those  non-audit   services  is  compatible  with   maintaining
Deloitte's independence.

Representatives  of Deloitte are not expected to be present at the Meeting but
will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

C. Additional Information Regarding Trustees.

The Fund's  Independent  Trustees are paid a retainer and each meeting and are
reimbursed for expenses  incurred in connection  with attending such meetings.
Each Board II Fund for which they serve as a director or trustee  pays a share
of those expenses.

The  officers  of the  Fund  and one  Trustee  of the Fund  (Mr.  Murphy)  are
affiliated  with the Manager  and receive no salary or fee from the Fund.  The
remaining  Trustees of the Fund and the  nominees  received  the  compensation
shown  below from the Fund with  respect to the Fund's  fiscal year ended July
31, 2004. The  compensation  from all 38 of the Board II Funds  (including the
Fund)  represents  compensation  received for serving as a director or trustee
and member of a committee (if  applicable) of the boards of those funds during
the calendar year 2004. Mr. Malone and Mrs.  Hamilton have not been elected as
trustees of the Fund.  Therefore,  they did not receive any compensation  from
the Fund during its last fiscal year.

1.    Aggregate   Compensation   from   Fund   includes   fees  and   deferred
   compensation, if any, for a Trustee.
2.    Mrs.  Hamilton  and Mr.  Malone do not  currently  serve as  Trustees of
   Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, therefore no Aggregate  Compensation
   from Fund was paid to them during the calendar year 2004.
3.    "Total  Compensation  From Fund and Fund Complex" paid to Mrs.  Hamilton
   and Mr.  Malone was paid by all the Board II Funds,  with the  exception of
   Oppenheimer  Senior  Floating  Rate Fund for which  they  currently  do not
   serve as Trustees (total of 37 Oppenheimer funds at December 31, 2004).
4.    Includes  $36,354  compensation  (of  which  100% was  deferred  under a
   deferred  compensation plan) paid to Mrs. Hamilton for serving as a trustee
   by two  open-end  investment  companies  (MassMutual  Select  Funds and MML
   Series  Investment  Fund) the investment  adviser for which is the indirect
   parent  company of the  Fund's  Manager.  The  Manager  also  serves as the
   Sub-Advisor to the MassMutual Premier  International  Equity Fund, a series
   of  MassMutual  Premier  Funds.  Mrs.  Hamilton  retired  as a  Trustee  of
   MassMutual Select Funds and MML Series Investment Fund in May 2004.
5.    Includes  $48,000  compensation  paid to Mr.  Marshall  for serving as a
   trustee by two  open-end  investment  companies  (MassMutual  Institutional
   Funds and MML Series  Investment Fund) the investment  adviser for which is
   the indirect parent company of the Fund's Manager.  The Manager also serves
   as the  Sub-Advisor to the MassMutual  International  Equity Fund, a series
   of MassMutual Institutional Funds.

*  For purposes of this section only, "Fund Complex"  includes the Oppenheimer
   funds,  MassMutual  Institutional  Funds and MML Series  Investment Fund in
   accordance  with the  instructions  for Form N-1A. The Manager and the Fund
   do not consider  MassMutual  Institutional  Funds and MML Series Investment
   Fund to be part of the OppenheimerFunds  "Fund Complex" as that term may be
   otherwise interpreted.

The  Board  of  Trustees  has  adopted  a  Deferred   Compensation   Plan  for
Independent  Trustees  that enables them to elect to defer receipt of all or a
portion of the annual fees they are entitled to receive  from the Fund.  Under
the plan, the compensation  deferred by a Trustee is periodically  adjusted as
though  an  equivalent  amount  had been  invested  in  shares  of one or more
Oppenheimer  funds  selected  by the  Trustee.  The amount paid to the Trustee
under the plan will be determined  based upon the  performance of the selected
funds.

Deferral  of  Trustee's  fees  under the plan will not  materially  affect the
Fund's  assets,  liabilities  and net  income  per  share.  The plan  will not
obligate  the  Fund  to  retain  the  services  of any  Trustee  or to pay any
particular level of compensation to any Trustee. Pursuant to an Order
issued by the SEC,  the Fund may invest in the funds  selected  by the Trustee
under  the plan  without  shareholder  approval  for the  limited  purpose  of
determining the value of the Trustee's deferred fee account.

                          INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND

Fund Information.  As of the close of business on March 17, 2005, the Fund had
255,117,100.163  shares  outstanding,  consisting of  93,138,888.718  Class A,
35,460,955.072  Class B and  126,517,266.373  Class C shares.  Each  share has
voting  rights as stated in this Proxy  Statement  and is entitled to one vote
for each share (and a fractional vote for a fractional share).

Beneficial  Owners.  Occasionally,  the  number  of shares of the Fund held in
"street name" accounts of various  securities dealers for the benefit of their
clients as well as the number of shares held by other  shareholders  of record
may exceed 5% of the total shares outstanding.  As of March 17, 2005, the only
persons who owned of record or were known by the Fund to  beneficially  own 5%
or more of any class of the Fund's outstanding shares were:

Merrill  Lynch  Pierce  Fenner & Smith,  4800 Deer Lake  Drive E.,  3rd Floor,
Jacksonville,  FL  32246-6484,  which  owned  14,017,531.811  Class  C  shares
(representing  approximately  11.07% of the Fund's  then  outstanding  Class C
shares), for the benefit of its customers.

The Manager,  the Distributor and the Transfer Agent. Subject to the authority
of the Board of  Trustees,  the  Manager  is  responsible  for the  day-to-day
management  of  the  Fund's  business  pursuant  to  its  investment  advisory
agreement   with   the   Fund.   OppenheimerFunds   Distributor,   Inc.   (the
"Distributor"),  a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of the  Manager,  is the general
distributor of the Fund's shares.  The Manager and the Distributor are located
at Two World Financial  Center,  225 Liberty Street,  11th Floor, New York, NY
10281-1008.  OppenheimerFunds  Services, a division of the Manager, located at
6803 South  Tucson  Way,  Centennial,  CO 80112,  serves as the  transfer  and
shareholder  servicing agent (the "Transfer Agent") for the Fund, for which it
was paid $594,432 by the Fund during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004.

The  Manager  (including   affiliates  and  subsidiaries)   currently  manages
investment  companies,  including the Oppenheimer  funds,  with assets of more
than $170 billion as of December 31, 2004,  including other  Oppenheimer  with
more  than 7 million  shareholder  accounts.  The  Manager  is a wholly  owned
subsidiary  of  Oppenheimer  Acquisition  Corp.  ("OAC"),  a  holding  company
controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual").  The
Manager,  the Distributor  and OAC are located at Two World Financial  Center,
225 Liberty  Street,  11th  Floor,  New York,  NY  10281-1008.  MassMutual  is
located at 1295 State Street,  Springfield,  Massachusetts 01111. OAC acquired
the Manager on October 22, 1990. As indicated  below,  the common stock of OAC
is owned  by (i)  certain  officers  and/or  directors  of the  Manager,  (ii)
MassMutual  and (iii) another  investor.  No institution or person holds 5% or
more of OAC's  outstanding  common stock  except  MassMutual.  MassMutual  has
engaged in the life insurance business since 1851.

The common stock of OAC is divided into three  classes.  At December 31, 2004,
MassMutual  held (i) all of the  21,600,000  shares  of Class A voting  stock,
(ii) 12,642,025  shares of Class B voting stock, and (iii)  21,178,801  shares
of Class C non voting stock in OAC. This collectively  represented  96.808% of
the  outstanding  common  stock and  97.889% of the voting  power of OAC as of
that date.  Certain  officers and/or directors of the Manager held (i) 366,486
shares  of the Class B voting  stock,  representing  0.64% of the  outstanding
common stock and 1.5% of the voting power,  (ii) 183,039 shares of Class C non
voting stock,  and (iii) options  acquired  without cash payment  which,  when
they  become  exercisable,  allow the  holders to  purchase  up to  10,641,501
shares of Class C non voting stock.  That group includes  persons who serve as
officers of the Fund and John V. Murphy, who serves as a Trustee of the Fund.

Holders of OAC Class B and Class C common  stock may put (sell)  their  shares
and vested  options to OAC or  MassMutual  at a formula price (based on, among
other things,  the revenue,  income,  working capital,  and excess cash of the
Manager).  MassMutual may exercise call (purchase)  options on all outstanding
shares of both such  classes of common  stock and  vested  options at the same
formula price.

The names and principal  occupations  of the executive  officers and directors
of the Manager are as follows:  John V.  Murphy,  Chairman,  President,  Chief
Executive  Officer and a director;  Andrew  Ruotolo,  Executive Vice President
and a director;  Kurt Wolfgruber,  Executive Vice President,  Chief Investment
Officer and a director;  Robert G. Zack,  Executive Vice President and General
Counsel;  Craig Dinsell and James Ruff,  Executive Vice  Presidents;  Brian W.
Wixted,  Senior Vice  President  and  Treasurer;  Mark  Vandehey,  Senior Vice
President  and Chief  Compliance  Officer,  and Bruce  Dunbar,  George  Evans,

Floor, New York, NY 10281-1008;  6803 South Tucson Way, Centennial,  CO 80112;
350 Linden Oaks, Rochester,  NY 14625-2807 or 10 St. James Avenue,  Boston, MA
02116.

Custodian.  The Deutsche Bank Trust Company of Americas,  60 Wall Street, 17th
Floor,  NYC60-1701,  New York, NY 10005-2848,  acts as custodian of the Fund's
securities and other assets.

Reports  to  Shareholders  and  Financial  Statements.  The  Annual  Report to
Shareholders of the Fund,  including financial  statements of the Fund for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 2004,  has  previously  been sent to  shareholders.
The  Semi-Annual  Report to  Shareholders  of the Fund as of January  31, 2005
also has previously been sent to shareholders.  Upon request, shareholders may
obtain  without charge a copy of the Annual Report and  Semi-Annual  Report by
writing the Fund at the address above,  or calling the Fund at  1.800.708.7780
or visiting  the  Manager's  website at  www.oppenheimerfunds.com.  The Fund's
transfer agent will provide a copy of the reports promptly upon request.

To avoid sending  duplicate copies of materials to households,  the Fund mails
only  one  copy of each  prospectus  and  annual  and  semi-annual  report  to
shareholders having the same last name and address on the Fund's records.  The
consolidation  of  these  mailings,  called  householding,  benefits  the Fund
through reduced mailing expenses.

If you  want  to  receive  multiple  copies  of  these  materials  or  request
householding   in  the   future,   you  may   call  the   Transfer   Agent  at
1.800.708.7780.  You may also notify the Transfer Agent in writing. Individual
copies of  prospectuses  and reports  will be sent to you within 30 days after
the Transfer Agent receives your request to stop householding.

               FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING AND THE MEETING

Solicitation  of  Proxies.  The cost of  preparing,  printing  and mailing the
proxy ballot,  notice of meeting, and this Proxy Statement and all other costs
incurred  with  the   solicitation   of  proxies,   including  any  additional
solicitation  by letter,  telephone or otherwise,  will be paid equally by the
Fund and the Manager.  In addition to solicitations  by mail,  officers of the
Fund  or  officers  and  employees  of  the  Transfer  Agent,   without  extra
compensation,   may  conduct   additional   solicitations   personally  or  by
telephone.

Proxies  also  may be  solicited  by a proxy  solicitation  firm  hired at the
Fund's expense to assist in the  solicitation  of proxies.  Currently,  if the
Fund determines to retain the services of a proxy  solicitation firm, the Fund
anticipates retaining Alamo Direct Mail Services,  Inc. Any proxy solicitation
firm  engaged  by the Fund,  among  other  things,  will be: (i)  required  to
maintain the confidentiality of all shareholder  information;  (ii) prohibited
from  selling or otherwise  disclosing  shareholder  information  to any third
party; and (iii) required to comply with applicable telemarketing laws.

If the Fund  does  engage  a proxy  solicitation  firm,  as the  Meeting  date
approaches,   certain   shareholders  may  receive   telephone  calls  from  a
representative  of the  solicitation  firm if  their  vote  has  not yet  been
received.  Authorization  to permit the  solicitation  firm to execute proxies
may be obtained by  telephonic  instructions  from  shareholders  of the Fund.
Proxies that are obtained  telephonically  will be recorded in accordance with
the  procedures  set forth  below.  These  procedures  have been  designed  to
reasonably  ensure  that the  identity  of the  shareholder  providing  voting
instructions is accurately  determined and that the voting instructions of the
shareholder are accurately recorded.

In all cases where a telephonic  proxy is  solicited,  the  solicitation  firm
representative is required to ask for each shareholder's  full name,  address,
title (if the  shareholder  is authorized to act on behalf of an entity,  such
as a corporation)  and to confirm that the  shareholder has received the Proxy
Statement and ballot in the mail.  If the  information  solicited  agrees with
the  information  provided to the  solicitation  firm, the  solicitation  firm
representative  has the  responsibility  to  explain  the  process,  read  the
proposals  listed  on  the  proxy  ballot,   and  ask  for  the  shareholder's
instructions  on  such  proposals.   The  solicitation  firm   representative,
although he or she is permitted to answer questions about the process,  is not
permitted to recommend to the shareholder how to vote. The  solicitation  firm
representative  may read any  recommendation set forth in the Proxy Statement.
The   solicitation   firm   representative   will  record  the   shareholder's
instructions.  Within 72 hours, the shareholder will be sent a confirmation of
his or  her  vote  asking  the  shareholder  to  call  the  solicitation  firm
immediately  if his or her  instructions  are not  correctly  reflected in the
confirmation.

It is  anticipated  the cost of  engaging a proxy  solicitation  firm will not
exceed  $72,000  plus  the  additional   out-of-pocket   costs,  that  may  be
substantial,  incurred in connection with contacting those  shareholders  that
have not  voted.  Brokers,  banks and other  fiduciaries  may be  required  to
forward  soliciting  material to their principals and to obtain  authorization
for the execution of proxies.  For those services,  they will be reimbursed by
the Fund for their expenses.

If the shareholder wishes to participate in the Meeting,  but does not wish to
give his or her proxy telephonically or via the internet,  the shareholder may
still submit the proxy ballot  originally sent with the Proxy Statement in the
postage  paid  envelope  provided  or attend in  person.  Should  shareholders
require  additional  information  regarding  the proxy ballot or a replacement
proxy  ballot,  they may contact us  toll-free  at  1.800.708.7780.  Any proxy
given by a shareholder,  whether in writing, by telephone or via the internet,
is revocable  as  described  below under the  paragraph  entitled  "Revoking a
Proxy."

Please take a few  moments to complete  your proxy  ballot  promptly.  You may
provide your completed proxy ballot,  via facsimile,  telephonically,  via the
internet  or by  mailing  the  proxy  ballot  in  the  postage  paid  envelope
provided.  You also may cast your vote by  attending  the Meeting in person if
you are a record owner.

Telephone  Voting.  The Fund has arranged to have votes recorded by telephone.
Please have the proxy ballot in hand and call the number on the enclosed  form
and follow the  instructions.  After a shareholder  provides his or her voting
instructions,  those  instructions  are read back to the  shareholder  and the
shareholder must confirm his or her voting instructions  before  disconnecting
the telephone  call. The voting  procedures  used in connection with telephone
voting are designed to reasonably  authenticate  the identity of shareholders,
to permit  shareholders  to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance
with their  instructions  and to confirm  that  their  instructions  have been
properly recorded.

Internet    Voting.    You   may   also    vote   over   the    internet    at
www.vote.proxy-direct.com.  You will be prompted  to enter the control  number
-------------------------
on the  enclosed  proxy.  Follow the  instructions  on the screen,  using your
proxy as a guide.

Voting By  Broker-Dealers.  Shares owned of record by a broker-dealer  for the
benefit  of its  customers  ("street  account  shares")  will be  voted by the
broker-dealer  based  on  instructions  received  from  its  customers.  If no
instructions are received,  the  broker-dealer may (if permitted by applicable
stock exchange rules) vote, as record holder of such shares,  for the election
of Trustees in the same proportion as that broker-dealer  votes street account
shares  for which it has  received  voting  instructions  in time to be voted.
Beneficial  owners  of  street  account  shares  cannot  vote in person at the
meeting. Only record owners may vote in person at the meeting.

A "broker  non-vote"  is deemed to exist when a proxy  received  from a broker
indicates  that the broker does not have  discretionary  authority to vote the
shares on that matter.  Abstentions  and broker  non-votes  will have the same
effect as a vote against the proposal.

Voting by the Trustee for OppenheimerFunds-Sponsored  Retirement Plans. Shares
held in  OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  retirement  accounts  for which votes are
not  received as of the last  business  day before the Meeting  Date,  will be
voted by the trustee for such  accounts in the same  proportion  as Shares for
which voting  instructions from the Fund's other shareholders have been timely
received.

Quorum.  The  presence  in person or by proxy of the holders of record of more
than 50% of the shares  outstanding and entitled to vote  constitutes a quorum
at  the  Meeting  for  purposes  of  electing  Trustees.   Shares  over  which
broker-dealers  have discretionary  voting power, shares that represent broker
non-votes and shares whose  proxies  reflect an abstention on any item are all
counted as shares  present and  entitled to vote for  purposes of  determining
whether the required quorum of shares exists.

Required Vote.  Persons  nominated as Trustees must receive a plurality of the
votes  cast,  which  means that the ten (10)  nominees  receiving  the highest
number of  affirmative  votes cast at the  Meeting  will be elected as long as
the votes FOR a nominee exceed the votes AGAINST that nominee.

How are votes counted?  The individuals  named as proxies on the proxy ballots
(or their  substitutes)  will vote according to your  directions if your proxy
ballot  is  received  and  properly  executed,   or  in  accordance  with  the
instructions  you provide if you vote by  telephone.  You may direct the proxy
holders to vote or not vote your shares on the  proposal to elect  Trustees by
checking the  appropriate box "FOR" or "WITHHOLD  AUTHORITY".  If you properly
execute and return a proxy  ballot but fail to indicate  how the votes  should
be cast,  the proxy  ballot will be voted in favor of the  election of each of
the nominees named in this Proxy Statement for Trustee.

Shares  of the Fund may be held by  certain  institutional  investors  for the
benefit  of their  clients.  If the  institutional  investor  does not  timely
receive voting  instructions from its clients with respect to such Shares, the
institutional  investor  may be  authorized  to vote such  Shares,  as well as
Shares the  institutional  investor  itself owns,  in the same  proportion  as
Shares for which voting instructions from clients are timely received.

Revoking  a Proxy.  You may  revoke  a  previously  granted  proxy at any time
before  it is  exercised  by (1)  delivering  a  written  notice  to the  Fund
expressly  revoking  your  proxy,  (2) signing  and  forwarding  to the Fund a
later-dated  proxy,  or (3) telephone or internet or (4) attending the Meeting
and casting your votes in person if you are a record  owner.  Granted  proxies
typically  will  be  voted  at the  final  meeting,  but  may be  voted  at an
adjourned  meeting if  appropriate.  Please be advised  that the  deadline for
revoking  your proxy by  telephone  or the  internet is 3:00 P.M.  (ET) on the
last business day before the Meeting.

Shareholder  Proposals.  The Fund is not  required and does not intend to hold
shareholder  meetings on a regular basis. Special meetings of shareholders may
be  called  from  time to time by  either  the Fund or the  shareholders  (for
certain  matters and under  special  conditions  described in the Statement of
Additional  Information).  Under  the  proxy  rules  of the  SEC,  shareholder
proposals  that meet  certain  conditions  may be included  in a fund's  proxy
statement for a particular  meeting.  Those rules  currently  require that for
future meetings,  the shareholder must be a record or beneficial owner of Fund
shares  either  (i)  with a value  of at  least  $2,000  or (ii) in an  amount
representing  at least 1% of the fund's  securities  to be voted,  at the time
the proposal is submitted  and for one year prior  thereto,  and must continue
to own such  shares  through  the date on which the  meeting is held.  Another
requirement  relates to the timely  receipt by the Fund of any such  proposal.
Under those  rules,  a proposal  must have been  submitted a  reasonable  time
before the Fund began to print and mail this  Proxy  Statement  in order to be
included in this Proxy  Statement.  A proposal  submitted for inclusion in the
Fund's proxy material for the next special  meeting after the meeting to which
this Proxy  Statement  relates must be received by the Fund a reasonable  time
before  the Fund  begins  to  print  and mail  the  proxy  materials  for that
meeting.  Notice of shareholder  proposals to be presented at the Meeting must
have been  received  within a  reasonable  time  before the Fund began to mail
this  Proxy  Statement.  The fact that the Fund  receives  a  proposal  from a
qualified  shareholder in a timely manner does not ensure its inclusion in the
proxy material because there are other  requirements under the proxy rules for
such inclusion.

                                OTHER MATTERS

The Trustees do not intend to bring any matters  before the Meeting other than
the  Proposal  and the  Trustees  and the  Manager  are not aware of any other
matters to be brought before the Meeting by others.  Because matters not known
at the time of the  solicitation  may come  before the  Meeting,  the proxy as
solicited  confers  discretionary  authority  with  respect to such matters as
properly come before the Meeting,  including any  adjournment or  adjournments
thereof,  and it is the intention of the persons named as attorneys-in-fact in
the proxy (or their  substitutes)  to vote the proxy in accordance  with their
judgment on such matters.

In the  event a quorum  is not  present  or  sufficient  votes in favor of the
Proposal  set forth in the Notice of Meeting of  Shareholders  is not received
by the date of the Meeting,  the persons named in the enclosed proxy (or their
substitutes)  may propose and approve one or more  adjournments of the Meeting
to permit further  solicitation of proxies. All such adjournments will require
the  affirmative  vote of a  majority  of the  shares  present in person or by
proxy at the session of the  Meeting to be  adjourned.  The  persons  named as
proxies  on the proxy  ballots  (or their  substitutes)  will vote the  Shares
present in person or by proxy (including  broker non-votes and abstentions) in
favor of such an  adjournment  if they determine  additional  solicitation  is
warranted  and in the  interests  of the  Fund's  shareholders.  A vote may be
taken on the proposal in this proxy  statement  prior to any such  adjournment
if a quorum is present,  sufficient  votes for its approval have been received
and it is otherwise appropriate.

                                    By Order of the Board of Trustees,

                                    /s/Robert G. Zack

Dear Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund Shareholder,

We have scheduled a shareholder meeting on May 26, 2005 for you to decide upon an important
proposal for the Fund. Your ballot card and a detailed statement are enclosed with this
letter.

Your Board of Trustees believes the matter being proposed for approval is in the best
interests of the Fund and its shareholders and recommends a vote "for" the election of
Trustees.  Regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important that your shares be
represented and voted.  So we urge you to consider this issue carefully and make your vote
count.

How do you vote?

To cast your vote, simply mark, sign and date the enclosed proxy ballot and return it in
the postage-paid envelope today. You also may vote by telephone or Internet by following
the instructions on the proxy ballot.  Using a touch-tone telephone or the Internet to cast
your vote saves you time and helps reduce the Fund's expenses.  If you vote by phone or
Internet, you do not need to mail the proxy ballot.

Remember, it can be expensive for the Fund--and ultimately for you as a shareholder--to
remail ballots if not enough responses are received to conduct the meeting.  If your vote
is not received before the scheduled meeting, you may receive a telephone call asking you
to vote.

What is the issue?

o     Election of Trustees.  You are being asked to consider and approve the election of
   ten Trustees.  You will find detailed information on the Trustees in the enclosed proxy
   statement

Please read the enclosed proxy statement for complete details on this proposal.  Of course,
if you have any questions, please contact your financial advisor, or call us at
1.800.708.7780.  As always, we appreciate your confidence in OppenheimerFunds and look
forward to serving you for many years to come.


                                          Sincerely,
                                          John V. Murphy signature
