About the Fund

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

     The investment objective, the principal investment policies and the main risks of the Fund are described in the Prospectus. This Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") contains supplemental information about those policies and risks as well as information about any non-principal investment policies and the attendant risks not described in the prospectus and the types of securities that the Fund's investment Manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., (the "Manager") can select for the Fund. Additional information is also provided about the strategies that the Fund can use to try to achieve its objective.

The Fund's Investment Policies. The composition of the Fund's portfolio and the techniques and strategies that the Fund's Manager can use in selecting portfolio securities will vary over time. The "Warranty Period" began August 5, 2003 and will end August 5, 2010 or the next following business day (the "Maturity Date"). The investment objective of the Fund during the Warranty Period is to seek capital preservation in order to attempt to make sure that the value of each shareholder's account on the Maturity Date will be no less than the value of that shareholder's account on the last day of the Offering Period, less sales charges, extraordinary expenses and other amounts not covered by the "Warranty Agreement" (the "Warranty Amount"). The Fund seeks high total return as a secondary objective. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objective. The Fund's investment objective during the "Post-Warranty Period," the period immediately following the Maturity Date, is high total return. This section supplements the disclosure in the Fund's Prospectus and provides additional information on the Fund's investment policies or restrictions to the extent permitted under the Financial Warranty Agreement, dated May 29, 2003 (the "Warranty Agreement"), among the Fund, the Manager and Merrill Lynch Bank USA. Restrictions or policies stated as a maximum percentage of the Fund's assets are only applied immediately after a portfolio investment to which the policy or restriction is applicable (other than the limitations on borrowing and illiquid securities). Accordingly, any later increase or decrease resulting from a change in values, net assets or other circumstances will not be considered in determining whether the investment complies with the Fund's restrictions and policies.
 
     Under normal market conditions, during the Warranty Period the Fund's assets are allocated between an equity component, consisting exclusively of Class Y shares of the Oppenheimer Main Street Fund (the "Underlying Fund"), and a fixed income component, normally consisting primarily of zero-coupon U.S. government securities. However, as explained more fully in the prospectus, under certain circumstances, the Fund's assets may be invested primarily or even exclusively in U.S. government securities.
 
     Merrill Lynch Bank USA ("MLBUSA"
or the "Warranty Provider") is licensed as an industrial bank pursuant to the laws of the State of Utah. MLBUSA is regulated by certain Federal and state agencies and is examined by those agencies. MLBUSA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (ML&Co). On December 5, 2008 the shareholders of ML&Co approved a transaction whereby ML&Co will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation. That acquisition is expected to close by the end of 2008, pending the receipt of regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. MLBUSA may hedge its risks under the Warranty Agreement with one or more counterparties, including with an affiliate of MLBUSA (which may include the calculation agent under the Warranty Agreement). MLBUSA is not required to hedge its risk under the Warranty Agreement and may choose not to do so. Whether MLBUSA attempts to hedge its risk under the Warranty Agreement or not, it is the sole entity responsible for making payments to the Fund, if any, under the Warranty Agreement.

The Asset Allocation Process. In pursuing the Fund's investment objective during the Warranty Period, the Manager allocates the Fund's assets between the equity and fixed income components of the portfolio. The Fund did not employ an asset allocation model during the Offering Period and will not do so during the Post-Warranty Period.
 

     The prevailing level of interest rates and the volatility of the equity markets will significantly influence the allocation of Fund assets between the equity component and the fixed income component. The Manager will monitor the allocation of the Fund's assets on a daily basis.

     The asset allocation process will also be affected by the Manager's ability to manage the Underlying Fund. If the market value of the Underlying Fund increases, a smaller portion of the Fund's assets would be allocated to the fixed income component. On the other hand, if the market value of the Underlying Fund decreases, a higher portion of the Fund's assets would have to be allocated to the fixed income component, and the ability of the Fund to participate in any subsequent upward movement in the equity market would be reduced.
 
     The Warranty Agreement contains a mathematical formula which provides the maximum amount of the Fund's assets that may be invested in the equity component
on any given day during the Warranty Period. That percentage allocation to the equity component can be as high as 100% and as low as zero. Accordingly, the Warranty Agreement could limit the way that the Manager manages the Fund during the Warranty Period in response to changing market conditions.
 
     In allocating the Fund's assets between
the equity and fixed income components, the Manager will base its decision on the formula set forth in the Warranty Agreement. The formula will help establish both the initial allocation of the Fund's assets and on a daily basis will reevaluate the Fund's then maximum permitted allocation in the equity component. The objective of the formula is to preserve the principal of the Fund, primarily through allocations to the fixed income component. The formula takes into account a number of factors, including, but not limited to:


 

     

The market value of the Fund's assets as compared to the Warranty Amount;


     

The prevailing level of interest rates;


     

Equity market volatility; and


     

The length of time remaining until the Maturity Date.


     The model may allocate between 0% to 100% of the Fund's assets to the equity component. However, initially a significant portion of the Fund's assets will be allocated to the fixed income component. It is also possible that 100% of the Fund's assets will be allocated to the debt component during the Warranty Period.
 
     The basic terms of the asset allocation model were determined prior to the Fund entering into the Warranty Agreement with MLBUSA. MLBUSA reviewed the asset allocation model in determining whether it was prepared to offer the Financial Warranty to the Fund and negotiated some modifications to manage its financial risk. MLBUSA has no right to require any modification to the structure of the asset allocation formula during the Warranty Period, but has discretion in certain limited circumstances to adjust certain variables in the formula. Because the model impacts MLBUSA's financial exposure, MLBUSA has a right to approve any changes that the Fund wishes to make to the model during the Warranty Period. MLBUSA has informational rights regarding the model's allocation and the Fund's portfolio during the Warranty Period, but these rights are intended to enable MLBUSA to monitor its financial exposure. Under the terms of the Warranty Agreement, the Fund is subject to certain investment parameters during the Warranty Period. The Fund has also agreed to be bound by various covenants. If the Fund's assets are not managed in accordance with the parameters set forth in the Warranty Agreement or if the Fund breaches these covenants, the Fund's assets could be allocated entirely to the fixed income portfolio for the remainder of the Warranty Period, or MLBUSA may terminate the Warranty Agreement.
 

The Financial Warranty. The prospectus contains a detailed description of the Warranty Agreement. The "Financial Warranty" that the Warranty Provider issued is a contractual obligation to make a payment to the Fund in the event there is a shortfall between the Warranty Amount and the then-current net asset value of the Fund on the Maturity Date ("Shortfall"). The Financial Warranty is not a guarantee and therefore the availability of the Financial Warranty on the Maturity Date will be conditioned upon the Manager and the Fund satisfying their respective obligations under the Warranty Agreement. Should the Fund and/or the Manager fail to satisfy their respective obligations under the Warranty Agreement, the Warranty Provider is permitted to terminate the Financial Warranty and thus terminate its obligation, if any, to make any payment to the Fund on the Maturity Date. Shareholders also bear the risk that the Warranty Provider will become insolvent or otherwise fail to or become unable to satisfy its payment obligation to the Fund, if any, under the Financial Warranty. If either event were to occur, shareholders' investment in the Fund would no longer be protected by the Financial Warranty, which means their shares may be worth less than their anticipated Warranty Amount. The Fund's Board of Trustees will periodically review the financial statements of the Warranty Provider. In the event that the financial condition of the Warranty Provider has deteriorated beyond certain thresholds, the Trustees will determine whether there is a substantial likelihood that the Warranty Provider will be unable to satisfy its obligations under the Warranty Agreement. Under such circumstances the Board may, but is not obligated to, replace the Warranty Provider.
 
     In the event the Manager acts with negligence, recklessness, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraud and the Fund's net asset value is below a set limit, the Manager will be required to make a payment under the Warranty Agreement in an amount equal to the amount of any reduction in the Fund's net asset value below a set limit that is directly or indirectly attributable to the Manager's conduct. Additionally, in the event the Manager is required to allocate the Fund's assets to the debt component
and fails to do so and such failure results in the Fund's net asset value falling below a set limit, the Manager will be required to pay to the Warranty Provider an amount equal to the Shortfall due to the Fund's assets not being so invested. In the event the Manager fails to make any such payment, deliver a notice of objection, or pay such amount into an escrow account to the Warranty Provider within five business days, then the Warranty Provider may terminate the Financial Warranty. The Warranty Provider may also terminate the Financial Warranty for other reasons, as discussed in the Prospectus and this SAI.
 

     The Warranty Agreement imposes certain conditions and requirements on the Fund and the Manager. Failure to satisfy those conditions and requirements, which are described in detail in the Prospectus, gives the Warranty Provider the ability to (i) reduce the amount of the Fund's assets invested in shares of the Underlying Fund, (ii) require 100% of the Fund's assets to be invested in U.S. government securities, or (iii) terminate the Warranty Agreement, depending on the condition or requirement. The Manager will monitor the conditions and requirements of the Warranty Agreement on a daily basis to ensure that the Fund and the Manager satisfy those conditions and requirements. In certain circumstances, the Warranty Agreement provides that in the case of certain deficiencies, the Fund may have a specified period of time to cure the deficiency. In the case of other deficiencies, the Warranty Provider has the right, in its sole discretion, to either direct the Manager to allocate all of the Fund's assets to the debt component, deliver to the Fund's Custodian pre-signed instructions from the Manager instructing the Custodian to immediately allocate all of the Fund's assets to the debt component or change one of the variables in the formula which would have the effect of increasing the portion of the Fund's assets allocated to the debt component or in certain circumstances terminate the Warranty Agreement. The Warranty Provider will rely on the Manager as well as on the Fund's Custodian bank for the information necessary to monitor the Fund's and/or the Manager's compliance with the terms of the Warranty Agreement. The attendant risks to the Fund and shareholders are if the Manager or the Custodian bank fails to provide the information required by the Warranty Agreement, in which case the Warranty Provider may require the Fund to invest exclusively in U.S. government securities.
 
     On the Maturity Date, if there is a Shortfall between the Warranty Amount and the Fund's then-current net asset value, the Warranty Provider will be required to make a payment to
the Fund in the amount of the Shortfall. The Shortfall amount will be determined per class of shares and then the specific Shortfall amount per class of shares will be allocated to the respective class. Once the dollar amount of Shortfall is allocated per class, that amount will then be divided evenly among the outstanding shares of the class to apply on a shareholder basis. The Fund will then provide those shareholders who redeem their Fund shares on the Maturity Date with their respective Warranty Amount.
 

     During the Warranty Period, the Fund may purchase securities or engage in investment techniques set forth in the following sections.
 

     n Investments in Equity Securities. The Fund's investments in equity securities will consist exclusively of Class Y shares of the Oppenheimer Main Street Fund - the Underlying Fund. The Underlying Fund does not limit its investments in equity securities to issuers having a market capitalization of a specified size or range, and therefore can invest in securities of small-, mid- and large-capitalization issuers. At times, the Underlying Fund can focus its equity investments in securities of one or more capitalization ranges, based upon the Manager's judgment of where the best market opportunities are to seek the Underlying Fund's objective. At times, the market may favor or disfavor securities of issuers of a particular capitalization range. Securities of small capitalization issuers may be subject to greater price volatility in general than securities of larger companies. Therefore, if the Underlying Fund is focusing on or has substantial investments in smaller capitalization companies at times of market volatility, the Underlying Fund's share prices may fluctuate more than that of funds focusing on larger capitalization issuers. Further information about the Underlying Fund is included under "Information About the Underlying Fund" in Appendix B to this SAI. The Underlying Fund's Prospectus and SAI describe in detail the Underlying Fund's investment policies, risks, management, investment restrictions, strategies and types of securities in which it may invest, and contains other information about the Underlying Fund. The Prospectus, SAI and annual and semi-annual reports of the Underlying Fund are available without charge upon request by calling 1.800.525.7048.

n Investments in Bonds and Other Debt Securities. The Fund will invest in U.S. government securities to seek its investment objective. In general, debt securities are subject to two types of risk: credit risk and interest rate risk.

 

          o Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The fixed income component of the Fund's portfolio consists of U.S. government securities. U.S. government securities, although unrated, are generally considered to be equivalent to securities in the highest rating categories. Investment-grade bonds are bonds rated at least "Baa" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or at least "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Rating Service, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or that have comparable ratings by another nationally-recognized rating organization.

          o Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of debt securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already-issued debt securities, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities having longer maturities tend to offer higher yields, but are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations having shorter maturities.

Fluctuations in the market value of debt securities after the Fund buys them will not affect the interest income payable on those securities (unless the security pays interest at a variable rate pegged to interest rate changes). However, those price fluctuations will be reflected in the valuations of the securities, and therefore the Fund's net asset values will be affected by those fluctuations.

     |X| U.S. Government Securities. U.S. government securities the Fund buys will include non-callable general obligations of the U.S. Treasury backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government or of any of the following U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or government sponsored enterprises: Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Home Loan Bank, Resolution Funding Corporation, Financing Corporation and Tennessee Valley Authority, provided such securities are rated no less than "AAA" by Standard & Poor's Rating Services or "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
 

          o U.S. Treasury Obligations. These include Treasury bills (which have maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (which have maturities of more than one year and up to ten years when issued), and Treasury bonds (which have maturities of more than ten years when issued). Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States as to timely payments of interest and repayments of principal. Other U.S. Treasury obligations the Fund can buy include U. S. Treasury securities that have been "stripped" by a Federal Reserve Bank, zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities described below.

          o Obligations Issued or Guaranteed by U.S. Government Agencies or Instrumentalities. These include direct obligations and mortgage-related securities that have different levels of credit support from the government. The Fund may invest in Government National Mortgage Association pass-through mortgage certificates (called "Ginnie Maes"), which are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
 

     |X| Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund can buy zero-coupon and delayed-interest securities. The Fund can buy U.S. Treasury notes or bonds that have been stripped of their interest coupons, U.S. Treasury bills issued without interest coupons, and certificates representing interests in stripped securities.

Zero-coupon securities do not make periodic interest payments and are sold at a deep discount from their face value. The buyer recognizes a rate of return determined by the gradual appreciation of the security, which is redeemed at face value on a specified maturity date. This discount depends on the time remaining until maturity, as well as prevailing interest rates, the liquidity of the security and the credit quality of the issuer. The discount typically decreases as the maturity date approaches. Some zero-coupon securities are convertible, in that they are zero-coupon securities until a predetermined date, at which time they convert to a security with a specified coupon rate.

Because zero-coupon securities pay no interest and typically compound semi-annually at the rate fixed at the time of their issuance, their value is generally more volatile than the value of other debt securities. Their value may fall more dramatically than the value of interest-bearing securities when interest rates rise. When prevailing interest rates fall, zero-coupon securities tend to rise more rapidly in value because they have a fixed rate of return.

The Fund's investment in zero-coupon securities may cause the Fund to recognize income and make distributions to shareholders before it receives any cash payments on the zero-coupon investment. To generate cash to satisfy those distribution requirements, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities that it otherwise might have continued to hold or to use cash flows from other sources such as the sale of Fund shares.

     |X| Money Market Instruments. The following is a brief description of the types of the U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities the Fund can invest in. Money market securities are high-quality, short-term debt instruments that may be issued by the U.S. government, corporations, banks or other entities. They may have fixed, variable or floating interest rates. During the Offering Period the Fund invested its assets in:

          o U.S. Government Securities. These include obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, described above. 

          o Bank Obligations. The Fund can buy time deposits, certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances. They must be:

o     obligations issued or guaranteed by a domestic bank (including a foreign branch of a domestic bank) having total assets of at least U.S. $1 billion, or

     

obligations of a foreign bank with total assets of at least U.S. $1 billion.


     "Banks" include commercial banks, savings banks and savings and loan associations, which may or may not be members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

          o Commercial Paper. The Fund can invest in commercial paper if it is rated within the top three rating categories of Standard & Poor's and Moody's or other rating organizations. 
 

     If the paper is not rated, it may be purchased if the Manager determines that it is comparable to rated commercial paper in the top three rating categories of national rating organizations.

The Fund can buy commercial paper, including U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign branches of U.S. banks, issued by other entities if the commercial paper is guaranteed as to principal and interest by a bank, government or corporation whose certificates of deposit or commercial paper may otherwise be purchased by the Fund.

     During the Warranty Period, the Fund may invest in bank deposits, commercial paper and U.S. government securities (excluding U.S. government zero coupon securities), having a remaining maturity of 90 days or less. The bank deposits will include demand and time deposits in, certificates of deposit of, and bankers' acceptances issued by, any U.S. depository institution or trust company. The bank deposits and commercial paper must have a credit rating of at least "P-1" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and at least "A-1" by Standard & Poor's Rating Services, and the issuer thereof must have at the time of such investment a long-term credit rating of at least "Aa3" by Moody's or at least "AA" by S&P.

|X| Borrowing. The Fund may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes only to the extent necessary to meet redemption requests after using all cash held by the Fund to meet such redemption requests, other than cash necessary to pay Fund fees and expenses. Currently, under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"), a mutual fund may borrow only from banks and the maximum amount it may borrow is up to one-third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed less its liabilities, other than borrowings), except that a fund may borrow up to 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes from any person. Under the Investment Company Act, there is a rebuttable presumption that a loan is temporary if it is repaid within 60 days and not extended or renewed. As a matter of fundamental policy, the Fund is authorized to borrow up to the limits set forth in the Investment Company Act. During periods of substantial borrowings, the value of the Fund's assets would be reduced due to the added expense of interest on borrowed monies. The Fund is authorized to borrow, and to pledge assets to secure such borrowings, up to the maximum extent permissible under the Investment Company Act. Any such borrowing will be made only pursuant to the requirements of the Investment Company Act and will be made only to the extent that the value of each Fund's assets less its liabilities, other than borrowings, is equal to at least 300% of all borrowings including the proposed borrowing. If the value of the Fund's assets, so computed, should fail to meet the 300% asset coverage requirement, the Fund is required, within three days to reduce its bank debt to the extent necessary to meet such requirement and may have to sell a portion of its investments at a time when independent investment judgment would not dictate such sale. Interest on money borrowed is an expense the Fund would not otherwise incur, so that it may have little or no net investment income during periods of substantial borrowings. Since substantially all of the Fund's assets fluctuate in value, but borrowing obligations are fixed when the Fund has outstanding borrowings, the net asset value per share of the Fund correspondingly will tend to increase and decrease more when the Fund's assets increase or decrease in value than would otherwise be the case.

     The Fund will pay interest on these loans, and that interest expense will raise the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns. If it does borrow, its expenses will be greater than comparable funds that do not borrow for leverage. Additionally, the Fund's net asset value per share might fluctuate more than that of funds that do not borrow. Currently, the Fund does not contemplate using this technique, but if it does so, it will not likely do so to a substantial degree.

     n Portfolio Turnover. "Portfolio turnover" describes the rate at which the Fund traded its portfolio securities during its previous fiscal year. For example, if a fund sold all of its securities during the year, its portfolio turnover rate would have been 100%. The Fund's portfolio turnover rate will fluctuate from year to year, and the Fund is likely to have a portfolio turnover rate of 100% or more. Increased portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and transaction costs for the Fund, which may reduce its overall performance. Additionally, the realization of capital gains from selling portfolio securities may result in distributions of taxable long-term capital gains to shareholders, since the Fund will normally distribute all of its capital gains realized each year, to avoid excise taxes under the Internal Revenue Code. As a result of the Fund's dynamic asset allocation model, the Fund may have a higher portfolio turnover rate than other mutual funds. The Financial Highlights table at the end of the Prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during prior fiscal years.

     |X| Investment in Other Investment Companies. As stated above, the Fund can invest in the Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Main Street Fund, subject to the limits set forth in the Investment Company Act or any exemption therefrom that apply to those types of investments and any percentage limit established, from time to time, by the asset allocation formula described in the Warranty Agreement. As a shareholder of an investment company, the Fund will be subject to its ratable share of that investment company's expenses, including its advisory and administration expenses.

n     Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the "Securities Lending Agreement") with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs"), subject to the restrictions stated in the Prospectus. The Fund will lend portfolio securities to attempt to increase its income. Goldman Sachs has agreed, in general, to guarantee the obligations of borrowers to return loaned securities and to be responsible for certain expenses relating to securities lending. Under the Securities Lending Agreement, the Fund's securities lending procedures and applicable regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), the Fund must receive collateral from the borrower consisting of cash, bank letters of credit or securities of the U.S. government (or its agencies or instrumentalities). On each business day, the amount of collateral that the Fund has received must at least equal the value of the loaned securities. If the Fund receives cash collateral from the borrower, the Fund may invest that cash in certain high quality, short-term investments specified in its securities lending procedures. The Fund will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including the risk that the Fund may lose money on the investment or may fail to earn sufficient income to meet its obligations to the borrower.

The terms of the Fund's portfolio loans must comply with all applicable regulations and with the Fund's Securities Lending Procedures adopted by the Board. The terms of the loans must permit the Fund to recall loaned securities on five business days' notice and the Fund will seek to recall loaned securities in time to vote on any matters that the Manager determines would have a material effect on the Fund's investment. The Securities Lending Agreement may be terminated by either Goldman Sachs or the Fund on 30 days' written notice.

Other Investment Restrictions

|X| What Are "Fundamental Policies?" Fundamental policies are those policies that the

Fund has adopted to govern its investments that can be changed only by the vote of a "majority" of the Fund's outstanding voting securities. Under the Investment Company Act, a "majority" vote is defined as the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

o     67% or more of the shares present or represented by proxy at a shareholder meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or

o     more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

     The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other policies described in the Prospectus or this SAI are "fundamental" only if they are identified as such. The Fund's Board of Trustees can change non-fundamental policies without shareholder approval. However, significant changes to investment policies will be described in supplements or updates to the Prospectus or this SAI, as appropriate. The Fund's most significant investment policies are described in the Prospectus.

     The Underlying Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other policies described in the Underlying Fund's Prospectus or its SAI and in Appendix B to this SAI are "fundamental" only if they are identified as such. The Underlying Fund's Board of Directors can change non-fundamental policies without shareholder approval. However, significant changes to investment policies will be described in supplements or updates to the Underlying Fund's Prospectus or SAI, as appropriate. The Underlying Fund's most significant investment policies are described in its Prospectus as well as in the Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund Prospectus.
 

     n Does the Fund Have Additional Fundamental Policies? The following investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund.

o     The Fund cannot concentrate investments. That means it cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any industry. However, there is no limitation on investments in affiliated funds and obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

     

The Fund cannot invest in commodities. However, the Fund can buy and sell any of the hedging instruments permitted by any of its other policies. It does not matter if the hedging instrument is considered to be a commodity or commodity contract.


o     The Fund cannot invest in real estate or in interests in real estate. However, the Fund can purchase securities of issuers holding real estate or interests in real estate (including securities of real estate investment trusts).

o     The Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies. A permitted exception is in case it is deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 when reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.

o     The Fund cannot issue "senior securities," but this does not prohibit certain investment activities for which assets of the Fund are designated as segregated, or margin, collateral or escrow arrangements are established, to cover the related obligations. Examples of those activities include borrowing money, reverse repurchase agreements, delayed-delivery and when-issued arrangements for portfolio securities transactions, and contracts to buy or sell derivatives, hedging instruments, options or futures.

     

The Fund cannot borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statutes, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.


     

The Fund cannot make loans except (a) through lending of securities, (b) through the purchase of debt instruments or similar evidences of indebtedness, (c) through an interfund lending program with other affiliated funds, and (d) through repurchase agreements


     

The Fund cannot buy securities issued or guaranteed by any one issuer if more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or it would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting securities. This limit applies to 75% of the Fund's total assets. The limit does not apply to securities issued by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other affiliated investment companies.


|X| Does the Underlying Fund Have Additional Fundamental Policies? The following investment restrictions are Fundamental policies of the Underlying Fund.

o The Underlying Fund cannot concentrate investments. That means it cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any industry. However, there is no limitation on investments in U.S. government securities.

  The Underlying Fund cannot invest in commodities. However, the Underlying Fund can buy and sell any of the hedging instruments permitted by any of its other policies. It does not matter if the hedging instrument is considered to be a commodity or commodity contract.

o The Underlying Fund cannot invest in real estate or in interests in real estate. However, the Underlying Fund can purchase securities of issuers holding real estate or interests in real estate (including securities of real estate investment trusts).

o The Underlying Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies. A permitted exception is in case it is deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 when reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.

o The Underlying Fund cannot issue "senior securities," but this does not prohibit certain investment activities for which assets of the Fund are designated as segregated, or margin, collateral or escrow arrangements are established, to cover the related obligations. Examples of those activities include borrowing money, reverse repurchase agreements, delayed-delivery and when-issued arrangements for portfolio securities transactions, and contracts to buy or sell derivatives, hedging instruments, options or futures.

The Underlying Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed). The Underlying Fund may borrow only from banks and/or affiliated investment companies. With respect to this fundamental policy, the Underlying Fund can borrow only if it maintains a 300% ratio of assets to borrowings at all times in the manner set forth in the Investment Company Act.

The Underlying Fund cannot make loans except (a) through lending of securities, (b) through the purchase of debt instruments or similar evidences of indebtedness, and (c) through repurchase agreements

The Underlying Fund cannot buy securities issued or guaranteed by any one issuer if more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or it would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting securities. This limit applies to 75% of the Underlying Fund's total assets. The limit does not apply to securities issued by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies.

     Unless the Prospectus or this SAI states that a percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at the time an investment (except in the case of borrowing and investments in illiquid securities) is made. The Fund and the Underlying Fund need not sell securities to meet the percentage limits if the value of the investment increases in proportion to the size of the Fund or Underlying Fund.

For purposes of the policy not to concentrate its investments as described above, the Fund and the Underlying Fund have adopted classifications of industries and groups of related industries. These classifications are not fundamental policies for the Fund and the Underlying Fund. The Fund and the Underlying Fund do not intend to concentrate its investments in a group of industries.

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings. The Fund has adopted policies and procedures concerning the dissemination of information about its portfolio holdings by employees, officers and/or directors of the Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent. These policies are designed to assure that non-public information about portfolio securities is distributed only for a legitimate business purpose, and is done in a manner that (a) conforms to applicable laws and regulations and (b) is designed to prevent that information from being used in a way that could negatively affect the Fund's investment program or enable third parties to use that information in a manner that is harmful to the Fund.
 

     

Public Disclosure. The Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the close of each of the Fund's fiscal quarters in its semi-annual report to shareholders, its annual report to shareholders, or its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q. Those documents are publicly available at the SEC. In addition, the top 20 month-end holdings may be posted on the OppenheimerFunds' website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com (select the Fund' s name under the "View Fund Information for:" menu) with a 15-day lag. The Fund may release a more restrictive list of holdings (e.g., the top five or top 10 portfolio holdings) or may release no holdings if that is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Other general information about the Fund's portfolio investments, such as portfolio composition by asset class, industry, country, currency, credit rating or maturity, may also be posted.


Until publicly disclosed, the Fund's portfolio holdings are proprietary, confidential business information. While recognizing the importance of providing Fund shareholders with information about their Fund's investments and providing portfolio information to a variety of third parties to assist with the management, distribution and administrative process, the need for transparency must be balanced against the risk that third parties who gain access to the Fund's portfolio holdings information could attempt to use that information to trade ahead of or against the Fund, which could negatively affect the prices the Fund is able to obtain in portfolio transactions or the availability of the securities that portfolio managers are trading on the Fund's behalf.

The Manager and its subsidiaries and affiliates, employees, officers, and directors, shall neither solicit nor accept any compensation or other consideration (including any agreement to maintain assets in the Fund or in other investment companies or accounts managed by the Manager or any affiliated person of the Manager) in connection with the disclosure of the Fund's non-public portfolio holdings. The receipt of investment advisory fees or other fees and compensation paid to the Manager and its subsidiaries pursuant to agreements approved by the Fund's Board shall not be deemed to be "compensation" or "consideration" for these purposes. It is a violation of the Code of Ethics for any covered person to release holdings in contravention of portfolio holdings disclosure policies and procedures adopted by the Fund.
 
A list of the top 20 portfolio securities holdings (based on invested assets), listed by security or by issuer, as of the end of each month may be disclosed to third parties (subject to the procedures below) no sooner than 15 days after month-end.
 
Except under special limited circumstances discussed below, month-end lists of the Fund's complete portfolio holdings may be disclosed no sooner than 30-days after the relevant month-end, subject to the procedures below. If the Fund's complete portfolio holdings have not been disclosed publicly, they may be disclosed pursuant to special requests for legitimate business reasons, provided that:
 

     

The third-party recipient must first submit a request for release of Fund portfolio holdings, explaining the business reason for the request;


     

Senior officers (a Senior Vice President or above) in the Manager's Portfolio and Legal departments must approve the completed request for release of Fund portfolio holdings; and

     

The third-party recipient must sign the Manager's portfolio holdings non-disclosure agreement before receiving the data, agreeing to keep information that is not publicly available regarding the Fund's holdings confidential and agreeing not to trade directly or indirectly based on the information.

The Fund's complete portfolio holdings positions may be released to the following categories of entities or individuals on an ongoing basis, provided that such entity or individual either (1) has signed an agreement to keep such information confidential and not trade on the basis of such information or (2) is subject to fiduciary obligations, as a member of the Fund's Board, or as an employee, officer and/or director of the Manager, Distributor, or Transfer Agent, or their respective legal counsel, not to disclose such information except in conformity with these policies and procedures and not to trade for his/her personal account on the basis of such information:


 

     

Employees of the Fund's Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent who need to have access to such information (as determined by senior officers of such entity),


     

The Fund's independent registered public accounting firm,


     

Members of the Fund's Board and the Board's legal counsel,

     

The Fund's custodian bank,

     

A proxy voting service designated by the Fund and its Board,

     

Rating/ranking organizations (such as Lipper and Morningstar),

     

Portfolio pricing services retained by the Manager to provide portfolio security prices, and


     

Dealers, to obtain bids (price quotations if securities are not priced by the Fund's regular pricing services).


Portfolio holdings information of the Fund may be provided, under limited circumstances, to brokers and/or dealers with whom the Fund trades and/or entities that provide investment coverage and/or analytical information regarding the Fund's portfolio, provided that there is a legitimate investment reason for providing the information to the broker, dealer or other entity. Month-end portfolio holdings information may, under this procedure, be provided to vendors providing research information and/or analytics to the Fund, with at least a 15-day delay after the month end, but in certain cases may be provided to a broker or analytical vendor with a 1-2 day lag to facilitate the provision of requested investment information to the Manager to facilitate a particular trade or the portfolio manager's investment process for the Fund. Any third party receiving such information must first sign the Manager's portfolio holdings non-disclosure agreement as a pre-condition to receiving this information.
 
Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on individual securities positions or multiple securities) may be provided to the entities listed below (1) by portfolio traders employed by the Manager in connection with portfolio trading, and (2) by the members of the Manager's Security Valuation Group and Accounting Departments in connection with portfolio pricing or other portfolio evaluation purposes:
 

     

Brokers and dealers in connection with portfolio transactions (purchases and sales)


     

Brokers and dealers to obtain bids or bid and asked prices (if securities held by the Fund are not priced by the Fund's regular pricing services)

     

Dealers to obtain price quotations where the Fund is not identified as the owner.

Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on the Fund's entire portfolio or individual securities therein) may be provided by senior officers of the Manager or attorneys on the legal staff of the Manager, Distributor, or Transfer Agent, in the following circumstances:
 

     

Response to legal process in litigation matters, such as responses to subpoenas or in class action matters where the Fund may be part of the plaintiff class (and seeks recovery for losses on a security) or a defendant,


     

Response to regulatory requests for information (the SEC, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), state securities regulators, and/or foreign securities authorities, including without limitation requests for information in inspections or for position reporting purposes),

     

To potential sub-advisers of portfolios (pursuant to confidentiality agreements),

     

To consultants for retirement plans for plan sponsors/discussions at due diligence meetings (pursuant to confidentiality agreements),

     

Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions (pursuant to confidentiality agreements).

Portfolio managers and analysts may, subject to the Manager's policies on communications with the press and other media, discuss portfolio information in interviews with members of the media, or in due diligence or similar meetings with clients or prospective purchasers of Fund shares or their financial intermediary representatives.

The Fund's shareholders may, under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of liquidity in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions), receive redemption proceeds of their Fund shares paid as pro rata shares of securities held in the Fund's portfolio. In such circumstances, disclosure of the Fund's portfolio holdings may be made to such shareholders.

Any permitted release of otherwise non-public portfolio holdings information must be in accordance with the then-current policy on approved methods for communicating confidential information.
 

The Chief Compliance Officer (the "CCO") of the Fund and the Manager, Distributor, and Transfer Agent shall oversee the compliance by the Manager, Sub-Adviser, Distributor, Transfer Agent, and their personnel with these policies and procedures. At least annually, the CCO shall report to the Fund's Board on such compliance oversight and on the categories of entities and individuals to which disclosure of portfolio holdings of the Fund has been made during the preceding year pursuant to these policies. The CCO shall report to the Fund's Board any material violation of these policies and procedures and shall make recommendations to the Board as to any amendments that the CCO believes are necessary and desirable to carry out or improve these policies and procedures.
 

The Manager and/or the Fund have entered into ongoing arrangements to make available information about the Fund's portfolio holdings. One or more of the Oppenheimer funds may currently disclose portfolio holdings information based on ongoing arrangements to the following parties:

How the Fund is Managed

Organization and History. The Fund, a series of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust, is an open-end, diversified management investment company with an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust in January 2003.

Classes of Shares. The Trustees are authorized, without shareholder approval, to create new series and classes of shares, to reclassify unissued shares into additional series or classes and to divide or combine the shares of a class into a greater or lesser number of shares without changing the proportionate beneficial interest of a shareholder in the Fund. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights, preemptive rights or subscription rights. Shares may be voted in person or by proxy at shareholder meetings.

The Fund currently has four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class N. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio. Only retirement plans may purchase Class N shares. Each class of shares:

     

has its own dividends and distributions,


     

pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,


     

will generally have a different net asset value,


     

will generally have separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one class are different from interests of another class, and


     

votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.


Shares are freely transferable, and each share of each class has one vote at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionally, on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Each share of the Fund represents an interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of each other share of the same class.

  n Meetings of Shareholders. As a Massachusetts business trust, the Fund is not required to hold, and does not plan to hold, regular annual meetings of shareholders, but may hold shareholder meetings from time to time on important matters or when required to do so by the Investment Company Act or other applicable law. Shareholders have the right, upon a vote or declaration in writing of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Fund, to remove a Trustee or to take other action described in the Fund's Declaration of Trust.

The Trustees will call a meeting of shareholders to vote on the removal of a Trustee upon the written request of the record holders of 10% of its outstanding shares. If the Trustees receive a request from at least 10 shareholders stating that they wish to communicate with other shareholders to request a meeting to remove a Trustee, the Trustees will then either make the Fund's shareholder list available to the applicants or mail their communication to all other shareholders at the applicants' expense. The shareholders making the request must have been shareholders for at least six months and must hold shares of the Fund valued at $25,000 or more or constituting at least 1% of the Fund's outstanding shares. The Trustees may also take other action as permitted by the Investment Company Act.

  n Shareholder and Trustee Liability. The Fund's Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder or Trustee liability for the Fund's obligations. It also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of expenses out of the Fund's property for any shareholder held personally liable for its obligations. The Declaration of Trust also states that upon request, the Fund shall assume the defense of any claim made against a shareholder for any act or obligation of the Fund and shall satisfy any judgment on that claim. Massachusetts law permits a shareholder of a business trust (such as the Fund) to be held personally liable as a "partner" under certain circumstances. However, the risk that a Fund shareholder will incur financial loss from being held liable as a "partner" of the Fund is limited to the relatively remote circumstances in which the Fund would be unable to meet its obligations.

The Fund's contractual arrangements state that any person doing business with the Fund (and each shareholder of the Fund) agrees under its Declaration of Trust to look solely to the assets of the Fund for satisfaction of any claim or demand that may arise out of any dealings with the Fund and that the Trustees shall have no personal liability to any such person, to the extent permitted by law.

Board of Trustees and Oversight Committees. The Fund is governed by a Board of Trustees, which is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders under Massachusetts law. The Trustees meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Fund's activities, review its performance, and review the actions of the Manager.
 
     The Audit Committee held 4 meetings during the Fund's fiscal year ended August 31, 2008. The Review Committee held 4 meetings during the Fund's fiscal year ended August 31, 2008. The Governance Committee held 4 meetings during the Fund's fiscal year ended August 31, 2008.

The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee, a Review Committee and a Governance Committee. Each committee is comprised solely of Trustees who are not "interested persons" under the Investment Company Act (the "Independent Trustees"). The members of the Audit Committee are George C. Bowen (Chairman), Edward L. Cameron, Robert J. Malone and F. William Marshall, Jr. The Audit Committee furnishes the Board with recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm (also referred to as the "independent Auditors"). Other main functions of the Audit Committee, outlined in the Audit Committee Charter, 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 reports from the Manager's Internal Audit Department; (iv)  reviewing certain reports from and meet periodically with the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer; (v) maintaining a separate line of communication between the Fund's independent Auditors and the Independent Trustees; (vi) reviewing the independence of the Fund's independent Auditors; and (vii) pre-approving the provision of any audit or non-audit services by the Fund's independent Auditors, including tax services, that are not prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to the Fund, the Manager and certain affiliates of the Manager.

The members of the Review Committee are Sam Freedman (Chairman), Jon S. Fossel, Richard F. Grabish and Beverly L. Hamilton. Among other duties, as set forth in the Review Committee's Charter, the Review Committee 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 adequacy of the Fund's Codes of Ethics, the Fund's investment performance as well as the policies and procedures adopted by the Fund to comply with the Investment Company Act and other applicable law.

The members of the Governance Committee are Robert J. Malone (Chairman), William Armstrong, Edward L. Cameron, Beverly L. Hamilton and F. William Marshall, Jr. The Governance Committee has adopted a charter setting forth its duties and responsibilities. Among other duties, the Governance Committee reviews and oversees the Fund's governance guidelines, the adequacy of the Fund's Code of Ethics and the nomination of Trustees, including Independent Trustees. The Governance Committee has adopted a process for 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 Governance Committee in care of the Fund. The Governance Committee may consider such persons at such time as it meets to consider possible nominees. The Governance Committee, however, reserves sole discretion to determine which candidates for Trustees and Independent Trustees it will recommend to the Board and/or shareholders and it may identify candidates other than those submitted by Shareholders. The Governance Committee may, but need not, consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and/or 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 or an individual Board member and may submit their correspondence electronically at www.oppenheimerfunds.com under the caption "contact us" or by mail to the Fund at the address below.

Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Except for Mr. Murphy, each of the Trustees is an Independent Trustee. All of the Trustees are also trustees or directors of the following Oppenheimer/Centennial funds (referred to as "Board II Funds") except for Mr. Grabish, who serves as Trustee for only the following funds: Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust, Centennial Government Trust, Centennial Money Market Trust, Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust, Centennial Tax Exempt Trust, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund, Panorama Series Fund, Inc., Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust, Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust II, Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust III, Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, Oppenheimer Portfolio Series Fixed Income Active Allocation Fund, Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC and Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC:

Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their immediate family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their employees are permitted to purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other Oppenheimer funds at net asset value without sales charge. The sales charge on Class A shares is waived for that group because of the reduced sales efforts realized by the Distributor. Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their eligible family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, its parent company and the subsidiaries of its parent company, and retirement plans established for the benefit of such individuals, are also permitted to purchase Class Y shares of the Oppenheimer funds that offer Class Y shares.

Messrs. Polevikov, Edwards, Legg, Murphy, Petersen, Vandehey, Wixted and Zack and Mss. Bullington, Bloomberg, Ives and Ruffle, who are officers of the Fund, hold the same offices with one or more of the other Board II Funds. As of November 28, 2008 the Trustees and officers of the Fund, as a group, owned of record or beneficially less than 1% of any class of shares of the Fund. The foregoing statement does not reflect ownership of shares held of record by an employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other than the shares beneficially owned under that plan by the officers of the Board II Funds. In addition, none of the Independent Trustees (nor any of their immediate family members) owns securities of either the Manager or the Distributor or of any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager or the Distributor of the Board II Funds.

Biographical Information. The Trustees and officers, their positions with the Fund, length of service in such position(s), and principal occupations and business affiliations during at least the past five years are listed in the charts below. The charts also include information about each Trustee's beneficial share ownership in the Fund and in all of the registered investment companies that the Trustee oversees in the Oppenheimer family of funds ("Supervised Funds"). The address of each Trustee in the chart below is 6803 S. Tucson Way, Centennial, Colorado 80112-3924.

The Manager also serves as the Sub-Advisor to the following: MassMutual Premier International Equity Fund, MassMutual Premier Main Street Fund, MassMutual Premier Strategic Income Fund, MassMutual Premier Capital Appreciation Fund, and MassMutual Premier Global Fund.

4.     

Includes $81,664 compensation paid to Mr. Marshall for serving as a Trustee for MassMutual Select Funds and MML Series Investment Fund.


n     

Compensation Deferral Plan For Trustees. The Board of Trustees has adopted a Compensation Deferral 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 amount of compensation deferred and the performance of the selected funds.


Deferral of Trustees' fees under the plan will not materially affect the Fund's assets, liabilities or 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 Trustees under the plan without shareholder approval for the limited purpose of determining the value of the Trustees' deferred compensation account.

n     

Code of Ethics. The Fund, the Manager and the Distributor have a Code of Ethics. It is designed to detect and prevent improper personal trading by certain employees, including portfolio managers, that would compete with or take advantage of the Fund's portfolio transactions. Covered persons include persons with knowledge of the investments and investment intentions of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Code of Ethics does permit personnel subject to the Code to invest in securities, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund, subject to a number of restrictions and controls. Compliance with the Code of Ethics is carefully monitored and enforced by the Manager.


The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the Fund's registration statement filed with the SEC and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You can obtain information about the hours of operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1.202.551.8090. The Code of Ethics can also be viewed as part of the Fund's registration statement on the SEC's EDGAR database at the SEC's Internet website at www.sec.gov. Copies may be obtained, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following E-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov., or by writing to the SEC's Public Reference Section, Washington, D.C. 20549-0102.

Portfolio Proxy Voting. The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures, which include Proxy Voting Guidelines, under which the Fund votes proxies relating to securities held by the Fund (" portfolio proxies"). OppenheimerFunds, Inc. generally undertakes to vote portfolio proxies with a view to enhancing the value of the company's stock held by the Funds. The Fund has retained an independent, third party proxy voting agent to vote portfolio proxies in accordance with the Fund 's Proxy Voting Guidelines and to maintain records of such portfolio proxy voting. The Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures include provisions to address conflicts of interest that may arise between the Fund and the Manager or the Manager's affiliates or business relationships. Such a conflict of interest may arise, for example, where the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager manages or administers the assets of a pension plan or other investment account of the portfolio company soliciting the proxy or seeks to serve in that capacity. The Manager and its affiliates generally seek to avoid such material conflicts of interest by maintaining separate investment decision making processes to prevent the sharing of business objectives with respect to proposed or actual actions regarding portfolio proxy voting decisions. Additionally, the Manager employs the following procedures, as long as OFI determines that the course of action is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders: (1) if the proposal that gives rise to the conflict is specifically addressed in the Proxy Voting Guidelines, the Manager will vote the portfolio proxy in accordance with the Proxy Voting Guidelines, provided that they do not provide discretion to the Manager on how to vote on the matter; (2) if such proposal is not specifically addressed in the Proxy Voting Guidelines or the Proxy Voting Guidelines provide discretion to the Manager on how to vote, the Manager will vote in accordance with the third-party proxy voting agent's general recommended guidelines on the proposal provided that the Manager has reasonably determined that there is no conflict of interest on the part of the proxy voting agent; and (3) if neither of the previous two procedures provides an appropriate voting recommendation, the Manager may retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Manager on how to vote the proposal or may abstain from voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines' provisions with respect to certain routine and non-routine proxy proposals are summarized below:

     

The Fund evaluates director nominees on a case-by-case basis, examining the following factors, among others: composition of the board and key board committees, experience and qualifications, attendance at board meetings, corporate governance provisions and takeover activity, long-term company performance and the nominee's investment in the company.


     

The Fund generally supports proposals requiring the position of chairman to be filled by an independent director unless there are compelling reasons to recommend against the proposal such as a counterbalancing governance structure.


     

The Fund generally supports proposals asking that a majority of directors be independent. The Fund generally supports proposals asking that a board audit, compensation, and/or nominating committee be composed exclusively of independent directors.


     

The Fund generally supports shareholder proposals to reduce a super-majority vote requirement, and opposes management proposals to add a super-majority vote requirement.


     

The Fund generally supports proposals to allow shareholders the ability to call special meetings.


     

The Fund generally supports proposals to allow or make easier shareholder action by written consent.


     

The Fund generally votes against proposals to create a new class of stock with superior voting rights.


     

The Fund generally votes against proposals to classify a board.


     

The Fund generally supports proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.


     

The Fund generally opposes re-pricing of stock options without shareholder approval.


     

The Fund generally supports proposals to require majority voting for the election of directors.


     

The Fund generally supports proposals seeking additional disclosure of executive and director pay information.


     

The Fund generally supports proposals seeking disclosure regarding the company's, board's or committee's use of compensation consultants.


     

The Fund generally supports "pay-for-performance" proposals that align a significant portion of total compensation of senior executives to company performance.


     

The Fund generally supports having shareholder votes on poison pills.


     

The Fund generally supports proposals calling for companies to adopt a policy of not providing tax gross-up payments.


     

In the case of social, political and environmental responsibility issues, the Fund will generally abstain where there could be a detrimental impact on share value or where the perceived value if the proposal was adopted is unclear or unsubstantiated.  The Fund generally supports proposals that would clearly have a discernible positive impact on short- or long-term share value, or that would have a presently indiscernible impact on short- or long-term share value but promotes general long-term interests of the company and its shareholders.


     The Fund is required to file Form N-PX, with its complete proxy voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of each year. The Fund's Form N-PX filing is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.525.7048 and (ii) on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

n     

The Investment Advisory Agreement. The Manager provides investment advisory and management services to the Fund under an investment advisory agreement between the Manager and the Fund. The Manager selects securities for the Fund's portfolio and handles its day-to-day business. The portfolio manager of the Fund are employed by the Manager and are the persons who are principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio.


The agreement requires the Manager, at its expense, to provide the Fund with adequate office space, facilities and equipment. It also requires the Manager to provide and supervise the activities of all administrative and clerical personnel required to provide effective administration for the Fund. Those responsibilities include the compilation and maintenance of records with respect to its operations, the preparation and filing of specified reports, and composition of proxy materials and registration statements for continuous public sale of shares of the Fund.
The Fund pays expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the advisory agreement. The advisory agreement lists examples of expenses paid by the Fund. The major categories relate to interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, fees to certain Trustees, legal and audit expenses,
custodian and transfer agent expenses, share issuance costs, certain printing and registration costs and non-recurring expenses, including litigation costs. The management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager are calculated at the rates described in the Prospectus, which are applied to the assets of the Fund as a whole. The fees are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the Fund's net assets represented by that class. The management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager during its last three fiscal years were:
 

Fiscal Year ended 8/31/08:

Management Fees Paid to OppenheimerFunds, Inc.

2006

$134,914

2007

$97,712

2008

$175,883

The investment advisory agreement states that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager is not liable for any loss the Fund sustains in connection with matters to which the agreement relates.

     The agreement permits the Manager to act as investment adviser for any other person, firm or corporation and to use the name "Oppenheimer" in connection with other investment companies for which it may act as investment adviser or general distributor. If the Manager shall no longer act as investment adviser to the Fund, the Manager may withdraw the right of the Fund to use the name "Oppenheimer" as part of its name.

Pending Litigation. During 2009, a number of complaints have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain other mutual funds ("Defendant Funds") advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor. The complaints naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers and trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Fund. The plaintiffs are seeking class action status on behalf of those who purchased shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The complaints against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws to the effect that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund's investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.

     A complaint brought in state court against the Manager, the Distributor and another subsidiary of the Manager (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the Oregon College Savings Plan Trust alleges a variety of claims, including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.
 

Other complaints have been filed in state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates, regarding the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm ("Madoff"). Those lawsuits, in 2008 and 2009, allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.

The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds' Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the individual independent Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

Portfolio Manager. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Sergei Polevikov (the "Portfolio Manager") who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments.

Other Accounts Managed by the Portfolio Manager. In addition to managing the Fund's investment portfolio, the Portfolio Manager also manages other investment portfolios and other accounts, on behalf of the Manager or its affiliates. The following table provides information regarding those portfolios and accounts as of August 31, 2008:

2.     Does not include personal accounts of portfolio managers and their families, which are subject to the Code of Ethics.

 

As indicated above, the Portfolio Manager also manages other funds, portfolios and accounts. Potentially, at times, those responsibilities could conflict with the interests of the Fund. That may occur whether the investment strategies of the other funds, portfolios, or accounts are the same as, or different from, the Fund's investment objectives and strategies. For example the Portfolio Manager may need to allocate investment opportunities between the Fund and another fund, portfolio, or account having similar objectives or strategies, or he may need to execute transactions for another fund, portfolio or account that could have a negative impact on the value of securities held by the Fund. Not all funds and accounts advised by the Manager have the same management fee. If the management fee structure of another fund, portfolio or account is more advantageous to the Manager than the fee structure of the Fund, the Manager could have an incentive to favor the other fund, portfolio or account. However, the Manager's compliance procedures and Code of Ethics recognize the Manager's fiduciary obligations to treat all of its clients, including the Fund, fairly and equitably, and are designed to preclude the Portfolio Managers from favoring one client over another. It is possible, of course, that those compliance procedures and the Code of Ethics may not always be adequate to do so. At various times, the Fund's Portfolio Manager may manage other funds or accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are similar to those of the Fund, or may manage funds or accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are different from those of the Fund.

Compensation of the Portfolio Manager. The Fund's Portfolio Manager is employed and compensated by the Manager, not the Fund. Under the Manager's compensation program for its portfolio managers and portfolio analysts, Fund performance is the most important element of compensation with half of annual cash compensation based on relative investment performance results of the funds or accounts they manage, rather than on the financial success of the Manager. This is intended to align the portfolio managers and analysts ' interests with the success of the funds and accounts and their shareholders. The Manager's compensation structure is designed to attract and retain highly qualified investment management professionals and to reward individual and team contributions toward creating shareholder value. As of August 31, 2008 the Portfolio Manager's compensation consisted of three elements: a base salary, an annual discretionary bonus and eligibility to participate in long-term awards of options and stock appreciation rights in regard to the common stock of the Manager's holding company parent. Senior portfolio managers may also be eligible to participate in the Manager's deferred compensation plan.

The base pay component of each portfolio manager is reviewed regularly to ensure that it reflects the performance of the individual, is commensurate with the requirements of the particular portfolio, reflects any specific competence or specialty of the individual manager, and is competitive with other comparable positions. The annual discretionary bonus is determined by senior management of the Manager and is based on a number of factors, including, a fund's pre-tax performance for periods of up to five years, measured against an appropriate Lipper benchmark selected by management. The majority (80%) is based on three and five year data, with longer periods weighted more heavily. Below median performance in all three periods results in an extremely low, and in some cases no, performance based bonus. Other factors considered include management quality (such as style consistency, risk management, sector coverage, team leadership and coaching) and organizational development. The Portfolio Manager's compensation is not based on the total value of the Fund's portfolio assets, although the Fund's investment performance may increase those assets. The compensation structure is also intended to be internally equitable and serve to reduce potential conflicts of interest between the Fund and other funds and accounts managed by the Portfolio Manager. The compensation structure of other portfolios managed by the Portfolio Manager is different from the compensation structure of the Fund, described above. A portion of the Portfolio Manager's compensation with regard to those portfolios may, under certain circumstances, include an amount based in part on the amount of the portfolios' management fee.

<  Ownership of Fund Shares. As of August 31, 2008, the Portfolio Manager did not own any shares of the Fund.

Brokerage Policies of the Fund

Brokerage Provisions of the Investment Advisory Agreement. One of the duties of the Manager under the investment advisory agreement is to arrange the portfolio transactions for the Fund. The advisory agreement contains provisions relating to the employment of broker-dealers to effect the Fund's portfolio transactions. The Manager is authorized by the advisory agreement to employ broker-dealers, including "affiliated brokers," as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act, that the Manager thinks, in its best judgment based on all relevant factors, will implement the policy of the Fund to obtain, at reasonable expense, the "best execution" of the Fund's portfolio transactions. "Best execution" means prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable price obtainable for the services provided. The Manager need not seek competitive commission bidding. However, it is expected to be aware of the current rates of eligible brokers and to minimize the commissions paid to the extent consistent with the interests and policies of the Fund as established by its Board of Trustees.
 

Under the investment advisory agreement, in choosing brokers to execute portfolio transactions for the Fund, the Manager may select brokers (other than affiliates) that provide both brokerage and research services to the Fund. The commissions paid to those brokers may be higher than another qualified broker would charge, if the Manager makes a good faith determination that the commission is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided.

Brokerage Practices Followed by the Manager. The Manager allocates brokerage for the Fund subject to the provisions of the investment advisory agreement and other applicable rules and procedures described below.

The Manager's portfolio traders allocate brokerage based upon recommendations from the Manager's portfolio managers, together with the portfolio traders' judgment as to the execution capability of the broker or dealer. In certain instances, portfolio managers may directly place trades and allocate brokerage. In either case, the Manager's executive officers supervise the allocation of brokerage.

Other accounts advised by the Manager have investment policies similar to those of the Fund. Those other accounts may purchase or sell the same securities as the Fund at the same time as the Fund, which could affect the supply and price of the securities. If two or more accounts advised by the Manager purchase the same security on the same day from the same dealer, the transactions under those combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated in accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account. When possible, the Manager tries to combine concurrent orders to purchase or sell the same security by more than one of the accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates. The transactions under those combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated in accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account.

 

Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act prohibits any fund from compensating a broker or dealer for promoting or selling the fund's shares by (1) directing to that broker or dealer any of the fund's portfolio transactions, or (2) directing any other remuneration to that broker or dealer, such as commissions, mark-ups, mark downs or other fees from the fund's portfolio transactions, that were effected by another broker or dealer (these latter arrangements are considered to be a type of "step-out" transaction). In other words, a fund and its investment adviser cannot use the fund's brokerage for the purpose of rewarding broker-dealers for selling the fund's shares.

However, the Rule permits funds to effect brokerage transactions through firms that also sell fund shares, provided that certain procedures are adopted to prevent a quid pro quo with respect to portfolio brokerage allocations. As permitted by the Rule, the Manager has adopted procedures (and the Fund's Board of Trustees has approved those procedures) that permit the Fund to direct portfolio securities transactions to brokers or dealers that also promote or sell shares of the Fund, subject to the "best execution" considerations discussed above. Those procedures are designed to prevent: (1) the Manager's personnel who effect the Fund's portfolio transactions from taking into account a broker's or dealer's promotion or sales of the Fund shares when allocating the Fund's portfolio transactions, and (2) the Fund, the Manager and the Distributor from entering into agreements or understandings under which the Manager directs or is expected to direct the Fund's brokerage directly, or through a "step-out" arrangement, to any broker or dealer in consideration of that broker's or dealer's promotion or sale of the Fund's shares or the shares of any of the other Oppenheimer funds.

The investment advisory agreement permits the Manager to allocate brokerage for research services. The research services provided by a particular broker may be useful both to the Fund and to one or more of the other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates. Investment research may be supplied to the Manager by the broker or by a third party at the instance of a broker through which trades are placed.

Investment research services include information and analysis on particular companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and portfolio strategy, market quotations for portfolio evaluations, analytical software and similar products and services. If a research service also assists the Manager in a non-research capacity (such as bookkeeping or other administrative functions), then only the percentage or component that provides assistance to the Manager in the investment decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.

Although the Manager currently does not do so, the Board of Trustees may permit the Manager to use stated commissions on secondary fixed-income agency trades to obtain research if the broker represents to the Manager that: (i) the trade is not from or for the broker's own inventory, (ii) the trade was executed by the broker on an agency basis at the stated commission, and (iii) the trade is not a riskless principal transaction. The Board of Trustees may also permit the Manager to use commissions on fixed-price offerings to obtain research, in the same manner as is permitted for agency transactions.

The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and supplement the research activities of the Manager. That research provides additional views and comparisons for consideration, and helps the Manager to obtain market information for the valuation of securities that are either held in the Fund's portfolio or are being considered for purchase. The Manager provides information to the Board about the commissions paid to brokers furnishing such services, together with the Manager's representation that the amount of such commissions was reasonably related to the value or benefit of such services.

During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Fund paid the total brokerage commissions indicated in the chart below. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008, the Fund did not execute any transactions through or pay any commissions to firms that provide research services.

Distribution and Service Plans

The Distributor. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Fund, the Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund's classes of shares. The Distributor bears the expenses normally attributable to sales, including advertising and the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses, other than those furnished to existing shareholders. The Distributor is not obligated to sell a specific number of shares.

The sales charges and concessions paid to, or retained by, the Distributor from the sale of shares and the contingent deferred sales charges retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares during the Fund's three most recent fiscal years are shown in the tables below.

Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares and Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act. Under those plans the Fund pays the Distributor for all or a portion of its costs incurred in connection with the distribution and/or servicing of the shares of the particular class. Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees1, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan.
 
     Under the Plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to affiliates. In their sole discretion, they may also from time to time make substantial payments from their own resources, which include the profits the Manager derives from the advisory fees it receives from the Fund, to compensate brokers, dealers, financial institutions and other intermediaries for providing distribution assistance and/or administrative services or that otherwise promote sales of the Fund's shares. These payments, some of which may be referred to as "revenue sharing," may relate to the Fund's inclusion on a financial intermediary's preferred list of funds offered to its clients.

     Unless a plan is terminated as described below, the plan continues in effect from year to year but only if the Fund's Board of Trustees and its Independent Trustees specifically vote annually to approve its continuance. Approval must be by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on continuing the plan. A plan may be terminated at any time by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by the vote of the holders of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the outstanding shares of that class.
 
     The Board of Trustees and the Independent Trustees must approve all material amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase materially the amount of payments to be made under a plan must be approved by shareholders of the class affected by the amendment. Because Class B shares of the Fund automatically convert into Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the Fund must obtain the approval of both Class A and Class B shareholders for a proposed material amendment to the Class A plan that would materially increase payments under the plan. That approval must be by a majority of the shares of each class, voting separately by class.
 
     While the plans are in effect, the Treasurer of the Fund shall provide separate written reports on the plans to the Board of Trustees
at least quarterly for its review. The reports shall detail the amount of all payments made under a plan and the purpose for which the payments were made. Those reports are subject to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees.

     Each plan states that while it is in effect, the selection and nomination of those Trustees of the Fund who are not "interested persons" of the Fund is committed to the discretion of the Independent Trustees. This does not prevent the involvement of others in the selection and nomination process as long as the final decision as to selection or nomination is approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees.

     Under the plans for a class, no payment will be made to any recipient in any period in which the aggregate net asset value of all Fund shares of that class held by the recipient for itself and its customers does not exceed a minimum amount, if any, that may be set from time to time by a majority of the Independent Trustees.

n     

Class A Service Plan Fees. Under the Class A service plan, the Distributor currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers, dealers and other financial institutions (referred to as "recipients") for personal services and account maintenance services they provide for their customers who hold Class A shares. The services include, among others, answering customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in establishing and maintaining accounts in the Fund, making the Fund's investment plans available and providing other services at the request of the Fund or the Distributor. The Class A service plan permits reimbursements to the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of average annual net assets of Class A shares. The Distributor makes payments to recipients periodically at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average annual Class A share net assets held in the accounts of the recipients or their customers.


     The Distributor does not receive or retain the service fee on Class A shares in accounts for which the Distributor has been listed as the broker-dealer of record. While the plan permits the Board to authorize payments to the Distributor to reimburse itself for services under the plan, the Board has not yet done so, except in the case of shares purchased prior to March 1, 2007 with respect to certain group retirement plans that were established prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement plans"). Prior to March 1, 2007, the Distributor paid the 0.25% service fee for grandfathered retirement plans in advance for the first year and retained the first year's service fee paid by the Fund with respect to those shares. After the shares were held for a year, the Distributor paid the ongoing service fees to recipients on a periodic basis. Such shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if they are redeemed within 18 months. If Class A shares purchased in a grandfathered retirement plan prior to March 1, 2007 are redeemed within the first year after their purchase, the recipient of the service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay the Distributor a pro rata portion of the advance payment of those fees. For Class A shares purchased in grandfathered retirement plans on or after March 1, 2007, the Distributor does not make any payment in advance and does not retain the service fee for the first year. Such shares are not subject to the contingent deferred sales charge.

     For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 payments under the Class A plan totaled $105,628 all of which was paid by the Distributor to recipients, and included $9,142 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's parent company. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years. The Distributor may not use payments received under the Class A plan to pay any of its interest expenses, carrying charges, or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead.
 

n     

Class B, Class C and Class N Distribution and Service Plan Fees. Under each plan, distribution and service fees are computed on the average of the net asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the close of each regular business day during the period. Each plan provides for the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the Distributor's distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid. The types of services that recipients provide are similar to the services provided under the Class A service plan, described above.


     Each plan permits the Distributor to retain both the asset-based sales charges and the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a periodic basis, without payment in advance. However, the Distributor currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the first year after Class B, Class C and Class N shares are purchased. After the first year Class B, Class C or Class N shares are outstanding, after their purchase, the Distributor makes service fee payments periodically on those shares. The advance payment is based on the net asset value of shares sold. Shares purchased by exchange do not qualify for the advance service fee payment. If Class B, Class C or Class N shares are redeemed during the first year after their purchase, the recipient of the service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay the Distributor a pro rata portion of the advance payment of the service fee made on those shares. Class B, Class C or Class N shares may not be purchased by a new investor directly from the Distributor without the investor designating another registered broker-dealer. If a current investor no longer has another broker-dealer of record for an existing account, the Distributor is automatically designated as the broker-dealer of record, but solely for the purpose of acting as the investor's agent to purchase the shares. In those cases, the Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge paid on Class B, Class C and Class N shares, but does not retain any service fees as to the assets represented by that account.
 
     The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and Class C expenses by 1.00% and the asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class N expenses by 0.50% of the net assets per year of the respective classes.
 

     The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class B and Class N shares. The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class C shares during the first year the shares are outstanding. It pays the asset-based sales charge as an ongoing concession to the recipient on Class C shares outstanding for a year or more. If a dealer has a special agreement with the Distributor, the Distributor will pay the Class B, Class C or Class N service fee and the asset-based sales charge to the dealer periodically in lieu of paying the sales concession and service fee in advance at the time of purchase.

     The asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares allow investors to buy shares without a front-end sales charge while allowing the Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares. The Fund pays the asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for its services rendered in distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares. The payments are made to the Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:


 

     

pays sales concessions to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of sale and pays service fees as described above,


     

may finance payment of sales concessions and/or the advance of the service fee payment to recipients under the plans, or may provide such financing from its own resources or from the resources of an affiliate,


     

employs personnel to support distribution of Class B, Class C and Class N shares,


     

bears the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses (other than those furnished to current shareholders) and state "blue sky" registration fees and certain other distribution expenses,


     

may not be able to adequately compensate dealers that sell Class B, Class C and Class N shares without receiving payment under the plans and therefore may not be able to offer such Classes for sale absent the plans,


     

receives payments under the plans consistent with the service fees and asset-based sales charges paid by other non-proprietary funds that charge 12b-1 fees,


     

may use the payments under the plan to include the Fund in various third-party distribution programs that may increase sales of Fund shares,


     

may experience increased difficulty selling the Fund's shares if payments under the plan are discontinued because most competitor funds have plans that pay dealers for rendering distribution services as much or more than the amounts currently being paid by the Fund, and


     

may not be able to continue providing, at the same or at a lesser cost, the same quality distribution sales efforts and services, or to obtain such services from brokers and dealers, if the plan payments were to be discontinued.


     The Distributor's actual expenses in selling Class B, Class C and Class N shares may be more than the payments it receives from the contingent deferred sales charges collected on redeemed shares and from the Fund under the plans. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund, the Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payments of the asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for distributing shares before the plan was terminated.

Payments to Fund Intermediaries

Financial intermediaries may receive various forms of compensation or reimbursement from the Fund in the form of 12b-1 plan payments as described in the preceding section of this SAI. They may also receive payments or concessions from the Distributor, derived from sales charges paid by the clients of the financial intermediary, also as described in this SAI. Additionally, the Manager and/or the Distributor (including their affiliates) may make payments to financial intermediaries in connection with their offering and selling shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds, providing marketing or promotional support, transaction processing and/or administrative services. Among the financial intermediaries that may receive these payments are brokers and dealers who sell and/or hold shares of the Fund, banks (including bank trust departments), registered investment advisers, insurance companies, retirement plan and qualified tuition program administrators, third party administrators, and other institutions that have selling, servicing or similar arrangements with the Manager or Distributor. The payments to intermediaries vary by the types of product sold, the features of the Fund share class and the role played by the intermediary.

Possible types of payments to financial intermediaries include, without limitation, those discussed below.

     

Payments made by the Fund, or by an investor buying or selling shares of the Fund may include:


     

depending on the share class that the investor selects, contingent deferred sales charges or initial front-end sales charges, all or a portion of which front-end sales charges are payable by the Distributor to financial intermediaries (see " About Your Account" in the Prospectus);


     

ongoing asset-based payments attributable to the share class selected, including fees payable under the Fund's distribution and/or service plans adopted under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act, which are paid from the Fund's assets and allocated to the class of shares to which the plan relates (see "About the Fund -- Distribution and Service Plans " above);


     

shareholder servicing payments for providing omnibus accounting, recordkeeping, networking, sub-transfer agency or other administrative or shareholder services, including retirement plan and 529 plan administrative services fees, which are paid from the assets of a Fund as reimbursement to the Manager or Distributor for expenses they incur on behalf of the Fund.


     

Payments made by the Manager or Distributor out of their respective resources and assets, which may include profits the Manager derives from investment advisory fees paid by the Fund. These payments are made at the discretion of the Manager and/or the Distributor. These payments, often referred to as "revenue sharing" payments, may be in addition to the payments by the Fund listed above.


     

These types of payments may reflect compensation for marketing support, support provided in offering the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds through certain trading platforms and programs, transaction processing or other services;


     

The Manager and Distributor each may also pay other compensation to the extent the payment is not prohibited by law or by any self-regulatory agency, such as FINRA. Payments are made based on the guidelines established by the Manager and Distributor, subject to applicable law.

These payments may provide an incentive to financial intermediaries to actively market or promote the sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, or to support the marketing or promotional efforts of the Distributor in offering shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds. In addition, some types of payments may provide a financial intermediary with an incentive to recommend the Fund or a particular share class. Financial intermediaries may earn profits on these payments, since the amount of the payment may exceed the cost of providing the service. Certain of these payments are subject to limitations under applicable law. Financial intermediaries may categorize and disclose these arrangements to their clients and to members of the public in a manner different from the disclosures in the Fund's Prospectus and this SAI. You should ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Fund, the Manager or the Distributor and any services it provides, as well as the fees and commissions it charges.

Although brokers or dealers that sell Fund shares may also act as a broker or dealer in connection with the execution of the purchase or sale of portfolio securities by the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, a financial intermediary's sales of shares of the Fund or such other Oppenheimer funds is not a consideration for the Manager when choosing brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the Fund or such other Oppenheimer funds.

Revenue sharing payments can pay for distribution-related or asset retention items including, without limitation,

     

transactional support, one-time charges for setting up access for the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds on particular trading systems, and paying the intermediary' s networking fees;


     

program support, such as expenses related to including the Oppenheimer funds in retirement plans, college savings plans, fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, fund "supermarkets," bank or trust company products or insurance companies' variable annuity or variable life insurance products;

     

placement on the dealer's list of offered funds and providing representatives of the Distributor with access to a financial intermediary's sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives.

Additionally, the Manager or Distributor may make payments for firm support, such as business planning assistance, advertising, and educating a financial intermediary's sales personnel about the Oppenheimer funds and shareholder financial planning needs.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the following financial intermediaries and/or their respective affiliates offered shares of the Oppenheimer funds and received revenue sharing or similar distribution-related payments from the Manager or the Distributor for marketing or program support:

Performance of the Fund

Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Fund uses a variety of terms to illustrate its investment performance. Those terms include "cumulative total return," "average annual total return," "average annual total return at net asset value" and "total return at net asset value." An explanation of how total returns are calculated is set forth below. The charts below show the Fund's performance as of the Fund's most recent fiscal year end. You can obtain current performance information by calling the Fund's Transfer Agent at 1.800.225.5677 or by visiting the OppenheimerFunds Internet website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

The Fund's illustrations of its performance data in advertisements must comply with rules of the SEC. Those rules describe the types of performance data that may be used and how it is to be calculated. In general, any advertisement by the Fund of its performance data must include the average annual total returns for the advertised class of shares of the Fund.

Use of standardized performance calculations enables an investor to compare the Fund's performance to the performance of other funds for the same periods. However, a number of factors should be considered before using the Fund's performance information as a basis for comparison with other investments:

     

Total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account in the Fund over various periods and do not show the performance of each shareholder's account. Your account's performance will vary from the model performance data if your dividends are received in cash, or you buy or sell shares during the period, or you bought your shares at a different time and price than the shares used in the model.


     

The Fund's performance returns may not reflect the effect of taxes on dividends and capital gains distributions.


     

An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.


     

The principal value of the Fund's shares, and total returns are not guaranteed and normally will fluctuate on a daily basis.


     

When an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost.


     

Total returns for any given past period represent historical performance information and are not, and should not be considered, a prediction of future returns.


     The performance of each class of shares is shown separately, because the performance of each class of shares will usually be different. That is because of the different kinds of expenses each class bears. The total returns of each class of shares of the Fund are affected by market conditions, the quality of the Fund's investments, the maturity of those investments, the types of investments the Fund holds, and its operating expenses that are allocated to the particular class.
 

|X|     Total Return Information. There are different types of "total returns" to measure the Fund's performance. Total return is the change in value of a hypothetical investment in the Fund over a given period, assuming that all dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested in additional shares and that the investment is redeemed at the end of the period. Because of differences in expenses for each class of shares, the total returns for each class are separately measured. The cumulative total return measures the change in value over the entire period (for example, ten years). An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for each year in a period that would produce the cumulative total return over the entire period. However, average annual total returns do not show actual year-by-year performance. The Fund uses standardized calculations for its total returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

     In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current maximum sales charge of 5.75% (as a percentage of the offering price) is deducted from the initial investment ("P" in the formula below) (unless the return is shown without sales charge, as described below). For Class B shares, payment of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge is applied, depending on the period for which the return is shown: 5.0% in the first year, 4.0% in the second year, 3.0% in the third and fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0% in the sixth year and none thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year period. For Class N shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year and life-of-class periods, as applicable. There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.

     

Average Annual Total Return. The "average annual total return" of each class is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a specified number of years. It is the rate of return based on the change in value of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held for a number of years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an Ending Redeemable Value ("ERV" in the formula) of that investment, according to the following formula:


ERV l/n

- 1

= Average Annual Total Return

P

     

Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions). The "average annual total return (after taxes on distributions)" of Class A shares is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a specified number of years, adjusted to show the effect of federal taxes (calculated using the highest individual marginal federal income tax rates in effect on any reinvestment date) on any distributions made by the Fund during the specified period. It is the rate of return based on the change in value of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held for a number of years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an ending value ("ATVD" in the formula) of that investment, after taking into account the effect of taxes on Fund distributions, but not on the redemption of Fund shares, according to the following formula:


ATVD l/n

- 1

= Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions)

P

     

Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions and Redemptions). The "average annual total return (after taxes on distributions and redemptions)" of Class A shares is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a specified number of years, adjusted to show the effect of federal taxes (calculated using the highest individual marginal federal income tax rates in effect on any reinvestment date) on any distributions made by the Fund during the specified period and the effect of capital gains taxes or capital loss tax benefits (each calculated using the highest federal individual capital gains tax rate in effect on the redemption date) resulting from the redemption of the shares at the end of the period. It is the rate of return based on the change in value of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held for a number of years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an ending value ("ATVDR" in the formula) of that investment, after taking into account the effect of taxes on Fund distributions and on the redemption of Fund shares, according to the following formula:


ATVDR l/n

- 1

= Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions and Redemptions)

P

     

Cumulative Total Return. The "cumulative total return" calculation measures the change in value of a hypothetical investment of $1,000 over an entire period of years. Its calculation uses some of the same factors as average annual total return, but it does not average the rate of return on an annual basis. Cumulative total return is determined as follows:


ERV - P

= Total Return

P

     

Total Returns at Net Asset Value. From time to time the Fund may also quote a cumulative or an average annual total return "at net asset value" (without deducting sales charges) for Class A, Class B, Class C or Class N shares. Each is based on the difference in net asset value per share at the beginning and the end of the period for a hypothetical investment in that class of shares (without considering front-end or contingent deferred sales charges) and takes into consideration the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.

Other Performance Comparisons. The Fund compares its performance annually to that of an appropriate broadly-based market index in its Annual Report to shareholders. You can obtain that information by contacting the Transfer Agent at the addresses or telephone numbers shown on the cover of this SAI. The Fund may also compare its performance to that of other investments, including other mutual funds, or use rankings of its performance by independent ranking entities. Examples of these performance comparisons are set forth below.
 
     
|X|     Lipper Rankings. From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking of the performance of its classes of shares by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper"). Lipper is a widely-recognized independent mutual fund monitoring service. Lipper monitors the performance of regulated investment companies, including the Fund, and ranks their performance for various periods in categories based on investment styles. The Lipper performance rankings are based on total returns that include the reinvestment of capital gain distributions and income dividends but do not take sales charges or taxes into consideration. Lipper also publishes "peer-group" indices of the performance of all mutual funds in a category that it monitors and averages of the performance of the funds in particular categories.

Morningstar Ratings. From time to time the Fund may publish the star rating of the performance of its classes of shares by Morningstar, Inc. ("Morningstar" ), an independent mutual fund monitoring service. Morningstar rates mutual funds in their specialized market sector. The Fund is rated among domestic hybrid funds.

     Morningstar proprietary star ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted total investment return. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges and loads), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.
 

|X|     Performance Rankings and Comparisons by Other Entities and Publications. From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements and sales literature performance information about the Fund cited in newspapers and other periodicals such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, or similar publications. That information may include performance quotations from other sources, including Lipper and Morningstar. The performance of the Fund's classes of shares may be compared in publications to the performance

of various market indices or other investments, and averages, performance rankings or other benchmarks prepared by recognized mutual fund statistical services.

Investors may also wish to compare the returns on the Fund's share classes to the return on fixed-income investments available from banks and thrift institutions. Those include certificates of deposit, ordinary interest-paying checking and savings accounts, and other forms of fixed or variable time deposits, and various other instruments such as Treasury bills. However, the Fund's returns and share price are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other agency and will fluctuate daily, while bank depository obligations may be insured by the FDIC and may provide fixed rates of return. Repayment of principal and payment of interest on Treasury securities is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

From time to time, the Fund may publish rankings or ratings of the Manager or Transfer Agent, and of the investor services provided by them to shareholders of the Oppenheimer funds, other than performance rankings of the Oppenheimer funds themselves. Those ratings or rankings of shareholder and investor services by third parties may include comparisons of their services to those provided by other mutual fund families selected by the rating or ranking services. They may be based upon the opinions of the rating or ranking service itself, using its research or judgment, or based upon surveys of investors, brokers, shareholders or others.

From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements and sales literature the total return performance of a hypothetical investment account that includes shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds. The combined account may be part of an illustration of an asset allocation model or similar presentation. The account performance may combine total return performance of the Fund and the total return performance of other Oppenheimer funds included in the account. Additionally, from time to time, the Fund's advertisements and sales literature may include, for illustrative or comparative purposes, statistical data or other information about general or specific market and economic conditions. That may include, for example,

     

information about the performance of certain securities or commodities markets or segments of those markets,


     

information about the performance of the economies of particular countries or regions,


     

the earnings of companies included in segments of particular industries, sectors, securities markets, countries or regions,


     

the availability of different types of securities or offerings of securities,


     

information relating to the gross national or gross domestic product of the United States or other countries or regions,


     

comparisons of various market sectors or indices to demonstrate performance, risk, or other characteristics of the Fund.


About your account

How to Buy Shares

Additional information is presented below about the methods that can be used to buy shares of the Fund. Appendix A contains more information about the special sales charge arrangements offered by the Fund, and the circumstances in which sales charges may be reduced or waived for certain classes of investors.
 
When you purchase shares of the Fund, your ownership interest in the shares of the Fund will be recorded as a book entry on the records of the Fund. The Fund will not issue or re-register physical share certificates.
 

AccountLink. When shares are purchased through AccountLink, each purchase must be at least $50 and shareholders must invest at least $500 before an Asset Builder Plan (described below) can be established on a new account. Accounts established prior to November 1, 2002 will remain at $25 for additional purchases. Shares will be purchased on the regular business day the Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") transfer to buy the shares. Dividends will begin to accrue on shares purchased with the proceeds of ACH transfers on the business day the Fund receives Federal Funds for the purchase through the ACH system before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., but may close earlier on certain days. If Federal Funds are received on a business day after the close of the NYSE, the shares will be purchased and dividends will begin to accrue on the next regular business day. The proceeds of ACH transfers are normally received by the Fund three days after the transfers are initiated. If the proceeds of the ACH transfer are not received on a timely basis, the Distributor reserves the right to cancel the purchase order. The Distributor and the Fund are not responsible for any delays in purchasing shares resulting from delays in ACH transmissions.

Reduced Sales Charges. As discussed in the Prospectus, a reduced sales charge rate may be obtained for Class A shares under Right of Accumulation and Letters of Intent because of the economies of sales efforts and reduction in expenses realized by the Distributor, dealers and brokers making such sales. No sales charge is imposed in certain other circumstances described in Appendix A to this SAI because the Distributor or dealer or broker incurs little or no selling expenses.

     There is an initial sales charge on the purchase of Class A shares of each of the Oppenheimer funds described above except the money market funds. Under certain circumstances described in this SAI, redemption proceeds of certain money market fund shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

Letter of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent (a "Letter"), you may be able to reduce the sales charge rate that applies to your purchases of Class A shares if you purchase Class A, Class B or Class C shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds or Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class H units purchased in advisor sold Section 529 plans, for which the Manager or the Distributor serves as the Program Manager or Program Distributor. A Letter is an investor's statement in writing to the Distributor of his or her intention to purchase a specified value of those shares or units during a 13-month period (the "Letter period"), which begins on the date of the investor's first share purchase following the establishment of the Letter. The sales charge on each purchase of Class A shares during the Letter period will be at the rate that would apply to a single lump-sum purchase of shares in the amount intended to be purchased. In submitting a Letter, the investor makes no commitment to purchase shares. However, if the investor does not fulfill the terms of the Letter within the Letter period, he or she agrees to pay the additional sales charges that would have been applicable to the purchases that were made. The investor agrees that shares equal in value to 2% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent for that purpose, as described in "Terms of Escrow" below. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter when placing purchase orders during the Letter period. The investor must also notify the Distributor or his or her financial intermediary of any qualifying 529 plan holdings.
 
     To determine whether an investor has fulfilled the terms of a Letter, the Transfer Agent will count purchases of "qualified"
Class A, Class B and Class C shares and Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class H units during the Letter period. Purchases of Class N or Class Y shares, purchases made by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, purchases of Class A shares with redemption proceeds under the Reinvestment Privilege, and purchases of Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which a sales charge has not been paid do not count as "qualified" shares for satisfying the terms of a Letter. An investor will also be considered to have fulfilled the Letter if the value of the investor's total holdings of qualified shares on the last day of the Letter period, calculated at the net asset value on that day, equals or exceeds the intended purchase amount.

If the terms of the Letter are not fulfilled within the Letter period, the concessions previously paid to the dealer of record for the account and the amount of sales charge retained by the Distributor will be adjusted on the first business day following the expiration of the Letter period to reflect the sales charge rates that are applicable to the actual total purchases.

If total eligible purchases during the Letter period exceed the intended purchase amount and also exceed the amount needed to qualify for the next sales charge rate reduction (stated in the Prospectus), the sales charges paid may be adjusted to that lower rate. That adjustment will only be made if and when the dealer returns to the Distributor the amount of the excess concessions allowed or paid to the dealer over the amount of concessions that are applicable to the actual amount of purchases. The reduced sales charge adjustment will be made by adding to the investors account the number of additional shares that would have been purchased if the lower sales charge rate had been used. Those additional shares will be determined using the net asset value per share in effect on the date of such adjustment.

By establishing a Letter, the investor agrees to be bound by the terms of the Prospectus, this SAI and the application used for a Letter, and if those terms are amended to be bound by the amended terms and that any amendments by the Fund will apply automatically to existing Letters. Group retirement plans qualified under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code may not establish a Letter, however defined benefit plans and Single K sole proprietor plans may do so.

n     

Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent.


     1.     Out of the initial purchase, or out of subsequent purchases if necessary, the Transfer Agent will hold in escrow Fund shares equal to 2% of the intended purchase amount specified in the Letter. For example, if the intended purchase amount is $50,000, the escrow amount would be shares valued at $1,000 (computed at the offering price for a $50,000 share purchase). Any dividends and capital gains distributions on the escrowed shares will be credited to the investor's account.

     2.     If the Letter applies to more than one fund account, the investor can designate the fund from which shares will be escrowed. If no fund is selected, the Transfer Agent will escrow shares in the fund account that has the highest dollar balance on the date of the first purchase under the Letter. If there are not sufficient shares to cover the escrow amount, the Transfer Agent will escrow shares in the fund account(s) with the next highest balance(s). If there are not sufficient shares in the accounts to which the Letter applies, the Transfer Agent may escrow shares in other accounts that are linked for Right of Accumulation purposes. Additionally, if there are not sufficient shares available for escrow at the time of the first purchase under the Letter, the Transfer Agent will escrow future purchases until the escrow amount is met.
 
     3.     If, during the Letter period, an investor exchanges shares of the Fund for shares of another fund (as described in the Prospectus section titled "How to Exchange Shares"), the Fund shares held in escrow will automatically be exchanged for shares of the other fund and the escrow obligations will also be transferred to that fund.
 
     4.     If the total purchases under the Letter are less than the intended purchases specified, on the first business day after the end of the Letter period the Distributor will redeem escrowed shares equal in value to the difference between the dollar amount of the sales charges actually paid and the amount of the sales charges that would have been paid if the total purchases had been made at a single time. Any shares remaining after such redemption will be released from escrow.
 
     5.     If the terms of the Letter are fulfilled, the escrowed shares will be promptly released to the investor at the end of the Letter period.
 
     6.     By signing the Letter, the investor irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Transfer Agent as attorney-in-fact to surrender for redemption any or all escrowed shares.
 

Asset Builder Plans. As explained in the Prospectus, you must initially establish your account with $500. Subsequently, you can establish an Asset Builder Plan to automatically purchase additional shares directly from a bank account for as little as $50. For those accounts established prior to November 1, 2002 and which have previously established Asset Builder Plans, additional purchases will remain at $25. Shares purchased by Asset Builder Plan payments from bank accounts are subject to the redemption restrictions for recent purchases described in the Prospectus. Asset Builder Plans are available only if your bank is an ACH member. Asset Builder Plans may not be used to buy shares for OppenheimerFunds employer-sponsored qualified retirement accounts.

     If you make payments from your bank account to purchase shares of the Fund, your bank account will be debited automatically. Normally the debit will be made two business days prior to the investment dates you selected on your application. Neither the Distributor, the Transfer Agent nor the Fund shall be responsible for any delays in purchasing shares that result from delays in ACH transmissions.

Before you establish Asset Builder payments, you should obtain a prospectus of the selected fund(s) from your financial advisor (or the Distributor) and request an application from the Distributor. Complete the application and return it. You may change the amount of your Asset Builder payment or you can terminate these automatic investments at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent requires a reasonable period (approximately 10 days) after receipt of your instructions to implement them. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering Asset Builder plans at any time without prior notice.

Retirement Plans. Certain types of retirement plans are entitled to purchase shares of the Fund without sales charges or at reduced sales charge rates, as described in Appendix A to this SAI. Certain special sales charge arrangements described in that Appendix apply to retirement plans whose records are maintained on a daily valuation basis by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") or an independent record keeper that has a contract or special arrangement with Merrill Lynch. If, on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement, the plan had less than $1 million in assets invested in applicable investments (other than assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase only Class C shares of the Oppenheimer funds. If, on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement, the plan had $1 million or more in assets but less than $5 million in assets invested in applicable investments (other than assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase only Class N shares of the Oppenheimer funds. If, on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement, the plan had $5 million or more in assets invested in applicable investments (other than assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase only Class A shares of the Oppenheimer funds.

OppenheimerFunds has entered into arrangements with certain record keepers whereby the Transfer Agent compensates the record keeper for its record keeping and account servicing functions that it performs on behalf of the participant accounts in a retirement plan. While such compensation may act to reduce the record keeping fees charged by the retirement plan's record keeper, that compensation arrangement may be terminated at any time, potentially affecting the record keeping fees charged by the retirement plan's record keeper.

Cancellation of Purchase Orders. Cancellation of purchase orders for the Fund's shares (for example, when a purchase check is returned to the Fund unpaid) causes a loss to be incurred when the net asset values of the Fund's shares on the cancellation date is less than on the purchase date. That loss is equal to the amount of the decline in the net asset value per share multiplied by the number of shares in the purchase order. The investor is responsible for that loss. If the investor fails to compensate the Fund for the loss, the Distributor will do so. The Fund may reimburse the Distributor for that amount by redeeming shares from any account registered in that investor's name, or the Fund or the Distributor may seek other redress.

Classes of Shares. Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund. However, each class has different shareholder privileges and features. The net income attributable to Class B, Class C or Class N shares and the dividends payable on Class B, Class C or Class N shares will be reduced by incremental expenses borne solely by that class. Those expenses include the asset-based sales charges to which Class B, Class C and Class N shares are subject.
 
     The availability of different classes of shares permits an investor to choose the method of purchasing shares that is more appropriate for the investor. That may depend on the amount of the purchase, the length of time the investor expects to hold shares, and other relevant circumstances. Class A shares normally are sold subject to an initial sales charge. While Class B, Class C and Class N shares have no initial sales charge, the purpose of the deferred sales charge and asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares is the same as that of the initial sales charge on Class A shares - to compensate the Distributor and brokers, dealers and financial institutions that sell shares of the Fund. A salesperson who is entitled to receive compensation from his or her firm for selling Fund shares may receive different levels of compensation for selling one class of shares rather than another.
 
     The Distributor will not accept a purchase order of more than $100,000 for Class B shares or a purchase order of $1 million or more to purchase Class C shares on behalf of a single investor (not including dealer "street name"
or omnibus accounts).
 
Class B, Class C or Class N shares may not be purchased by a new investor directly from the Distributor without the investor designating another registered broker-dealer.
 

Class A Shares Subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Under a special arrangement with the Distributor, for purchases of Class A shares at net asset value, whether or not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge as described in the Prospectus, no sales concessions will be paid to the broker-dealer of record on sales of Class A shares purchased with the redemption proceeds of shares of another mutual fund offered as an investment option in a retirement plan in which Oppenheimer funds are also offered as investment options, if the purchase occurs more than 30 days after the Oppenheimer funds are added as an investment option under that plan. Additionally, that concession will not be paid on Class A share purchases by a retirement plan that are made with the redemption proceeds of Class N shares of an Oppenheimer fund held by the plan for more than 18 months.

|X|     Class B Conversion. Under current interpretations of applicable federal income tax law by the Internal Revenue Service, the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares 72 months after purchase is not treated as a taxable event for the shareholder. If those laws or the IRS interpretation of those laws should change, the automatic conversion feature may be suspended. In that event, no further conversions of Class B shares would occur while that suspension remained in effect. Although Class B shares could then be exchanged for Class A shares on the basis of relative net asset value of the two classes, without the imposition of a sales charge or fee, such exchange could constitute a taxable event for the shareholder, and absent such exchange, Class B shares might continue to be subject to the asset-based sales charge for longer than six years.

 

|X|     Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the description of the types of retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares contained in the prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following:

 

     

to all rollover IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs),


     

to all rollover contributions made to Individual 401(k) plans, Profit-Sharing Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans,


     

to all direct rollovers from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle and Ascender retirement plans,


     

to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,


     

to all 90-24 type 403(b) transfers,


     

to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix A to this SAI) which have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor for that purpose,


     

to Retirement Plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the recordkeeper or the plan sponsor for which has entered into a special agreement with the Distributor,


     

to Retirement Plans of a plan sponsor where the aggregate assets of all such plans invested in the Oppenheimer funds is $500,000 or more,


     

to Retirement Plans with at least 100 eligible employees or $500,000 or more in plan assets,


     

to OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Ascender 401(k) plans that pay for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds, and


     

to certain customers of broker-dealers and financial advisors that are identified in a special agreement between the broker-dealer or financial advisor and the Distributor for that purpose.


1.     

The sales concession and the advance of the service fee, as described in the Prospectus, will not be paid to dealers of record on sales of Class N shares on:


     

purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds (other than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds),


     

purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan for more than one year (other than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds), and


     

on purchases of Class N shares by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan made with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds.


     No sales concessions will be paid to the broker-dealer of record, as described in the Prospectus, on sales of Class N shares purchased with the redemption proceeds of shares of another mutual fund offered as an investment option in a retirement plan in which Oppenheimer funds are also offered as investment options under a special arrangement with the Distributor, if the purchase occurs more than 30 days after the Oppenheimer funds are added as an investment option under that plan.

|X|     Allocation of Expenses. The Fund pays expenses related to its daily operations, such as custodian fees, Trustees' fees, transfer agency fees, legal fees and auditing costs. Those expenses are paid out of the Fund's assets and are not paid directly by shareholders. However, those expenses reduce the net asset values of shares, and therefore are indirectly borne by shareholders through their investment.

The methodology for calculating the net asset value, dividends and distributions of the Fund's share classes recognizes two types of expenses. General expenses that do not pertain specifically to any one class are allocated pro rata to the shares of all classes. The allocation is based on the percentage of the Fund's total assets that is represented by the assets of each class, and then equally to each outstanding share within a given class. Such general expenses include management fees, legal, bookkeeping and audit fees, printing and mailing costs of shareholder reports, Prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information and other materials for current shareholders, fees to unaffiliated Trustees, custodian expenses, share issuance costs, organization and start-up costs, interest, taxes and brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses, such as litigation costs.

Other expenses that are directly attributable to a particular class are allocated equally to each outstanding share within that class. Examples of such expenses include distribution and service plan (12b-1) fees, transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and expenses, and shareholder meeting expenses (to the extent that such expenses pertain only to a specific class).

Fund Account Fees. As stated in the Prospectus, a $12 annual "Minimum Balance Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a share balance valued under $500. The Minimum Balance Fee is automatically deducted from each such Fund account in September.

Listed below are certain cases in which the Fund has elected, in its discretion, not to assess the Fund Account Fees. These exceptions are subject to change:

 

     

A fund account whose shares were acquired after September 30th of the prior year;


     

A fund account that has a balance below $500 due to the automatic conversion of shares from Class B to Class A shares. However, once all Class B shares held in the account have been converted to Class A shares the new account balance may become subject to the Minimum Balance Fee;


     

Accounts of shareholders who elect to access their account documents electronically via eDoc Direct;


     

A fund account that has only certificated shares and, has a balance below $500 and is being escheated;


     

Accounts of shareholders that are held by broker-dealers under the NSCC Fund/SERV system in Networking level 1 and 3 accounts;


     

Accounts held under the Oppenheimer Legacy Program and/or holding certain Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds;


     

Omnibus accounts holding shares pursuant to the Pinnacle, Ascender, Custom Plus, Record(k)eeper Pro and Pension Alliance Retirement Plan programs; and


     

A fund account that falls below the $500 minimum solely due to market fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the fee is deducted.


     

Accounts held in the Portfolio Builder Program which is offered through certain broker/dealers to qualifying shareholders.

The Fund reserves the authority to modify Fund Account Fees in its discretion.

Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share. The net asset values per share of each class of shares of the Fund are determined as of the close of business of the NYSE on each day that the NYSE is open. The calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, but may close earlier on some other days (for example, in case of weather emergencies or on days falling before a U.S. holiday). All references to time in this SAI mean "Eastern time." The NYSE's most recent annual announcement (which is subject to change) states that it will close on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.
 
     Dealers other than NYSE members may conduct trading in certain securities on days on which the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays) or after 4:00 p.m. on a regular business day. Because the Fund's net asset values will not be calculated on those days, the Fund's net asset values per share may be significantly affected on such days when shareholders may not purchase or redeem shares. Additionally, trading on many foreign stock exchanges and over-the-counter markets normally is completed before the close of the NYSE.

 

Changes in the values of securities traded on foreign exchanges or markets as a result of events that occur after the prices of those securities are determined, but before the close of the NYSE, will not be reflected in the Fund's calculation of its net asset values that day unless the Manager determines that the event is likely to effect a material change in the value of the security. The Manager, or an internal valuation committee established by the Manager, as applicable, may establish a valuation, under procedures established by the Board and subject to the approval, ratification and confirmation by the Board at its next ensuing meeting.

Securities Valuation. The Fund's Board of Trustees has established procedures for the valuation of the Fund's securities. In general those procedures are as follows:

 

     

Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange are valued as follows:


(1)     

if last sale information is regularly reported, they are valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded, on that day, or


(2)     

if last sale information is not available on a valuation date, they are valued at the last reported sale price preceding the valuation date if it is within the spread of the closing "bid" and "asked" prices on the valuation date or, if not, at the closing "bid" price on the valuation date.


     

Equity securities traded on a foreign securities exchange generally are valued in one of the following ways:


(1)     

at the last sale price available to the pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, or


(2)     

at the last sale price obtained by the Manager from the report of the principal exchange on which the security is traded at its last trading session on or immediately before the valuation date, or


(3)     

at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices obtained from the principal exchange on which the security is traded or, on the basis of reasonable inquiry, from two market makers in the security.


     

Long-term debt securities having a remaining maturity in excess of 60 days are valued based on the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices determined by a portfolio pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry.


     

The following securities are valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices determined by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:


(1)     

debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when issued,


(2)     

debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and


(3)     

non-money market debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and which have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less.


     

The following securities are valued at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts:


(1)     

money market debt securities held by a non-money market fund that had a maturity of less than 397 days when issued that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, and


(2)     

debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less.


     

Securities (including restricted securities) not having readily-available market quotations are valued at fair value determined under the Board's procedures. If the Manager is unable to locate two market makers willing to give quotes, a security may be priced at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices provided by a single active market maker (which in certain cases may be the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available).


In the case of U.S. Government securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds and foreign government securities, when last sale information is not generally available, the Manager may use pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. The pricing service may use "matrix" comparisons to the prices for comparable instruments on the basis of quality, yield and maturity. Other special factors may be involved (such as the tax-exempt status of the interest paid by municipal securities). The Manager will monitor the accuracy of the pricing services. That monitoring may include comparing prices used for portfolio valuation to actual sales prices of selected securities.

The closing prices in the New York foreign exchange market on a particular business day that are provided to the Manager by a bank, dealer or pricing service that the Manager has determined to be reliable are used to value foreign currency, including forward contracts, and to convert to U.S. dollars securities that are denominated in foreign currency.

Puts, calls, and futures are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded, as determined by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees or by the Manager. If there were no sales that day, they shall be valued at the last sale price on the preceding trading day if it is within the spread of the closing "bid" and "asked" prices on the principal exchange on the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the principal exchange on the valuation date. If the put, call or future is not traded on an exchange, it shall be valued by the mean between "bid" and "asked" prices obtained by the Manager from two active market makers. In certain cases that may be at the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available.

When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset. An equivalent credit is included in the liability section. The credit is adjusted ("marked-to-market") to reflect the current market value of the option. In determining the Fund's gain on investments, if a call or put written by the Fund is exercised, the proceeds are increased by the premium received. If a call or put written by the Fund expires, the Fund has a gain in the amount of the premium. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, it will have a gain or loss, depending on whether the premium received was more or less than the cost of the closing transaction. If the Fund exercises a put it holds, the amount the Fund receives on its sale of the underlying investment is reduced by the amount of premium paid by the Fund.

How to Sell Shares

The information below supplements the terms and conditions for redeeming shares set forth in the Prospectus.

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Federal Funds Wire. The Federal Funds wire of redemption proceeds may be delayed if the Fund's custodian bank is not open for business on a day when the Fund would normally authorize the wire to be made, which is usually the Fund's next regular business day following the redemption. In those circumstances, the wire will not be transmitted until the next bank business day on which the Fund is open for business. No dividends will be paid on the proceeds of redeemed shares awaiting transfer by Federal Funds wire.

Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of:


 

     

Class A shares purchased subject to an initial sales charge or Class A shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or


     

Class B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred sales charge when redeemed.


     The reinvestment may be made without sales charge only in Class A shares of any of the other Oppenheimer funds into which shares of the Fund are exchangeable as described in "How to Exchange Shares" below. Reinvestment will be at the net asset value next computed after the Transfer Agent receives the reinvestment order. The shareholder must ask the Transfer Agent for that privilege at the time of reinvestment. This privilege does not apply to Class C and Class N shares. The Fund may amend, suspend or cease offering this reinvestment privilege at any time as to shares redeemed after the date of such amendment, suspension or cessation. This reinvestment privilege does not apply to reinvestment purchases made through automatic investment options.
 
     Any capital gain that was realized when the shares were redeemed is taxable, and reinvestment will not alter any capital gains tax payable on that gain. If there has been a capital loss on the redemption, some or all of the loss may not be tax deductible, depending on the timing and amount of the reinvestment. Under the Internal Revenue Code, if the redemption proceeds of Fund shares on which a sales charge was paid are reinvested in shares of the Fund or another of the Oppenheimer funds within 90 days of payment of the sales charge, the shareholder's basis in the shares of the Fund that were redeemed may not include the amount of the sales charge paid. That would reduce the loss or increase the gain recognized from the redemption. However, in that case the sales charge would be added to the basis of the shares acquired by the reinvestment of the redemption proceeds.

Payments "In Kind." The Prospectus states that payment for shares tendered for redemption is ordinarily made in cash. However, under certain circumstances, the Board of Trustees of the Fund may determine that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders of the Fund to make payment of a redemption order wholly or partly in cash. In that case, the Fund may pay the redemption proceeds in whole or in part by a distribution "in kind" of liquid securities from the portfolio of the Fund, in lieu of cash.
 
     The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company Act. Under that rule, the Fund is obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of the Fund during any 90-day period for any one shareholder. If shares are redeemed in kind, the redeeming shareholder might incur brokerage or other costs in selling the securities for cash. The Fund will value securities used to pay redemptions in kind using the same method the Fund uses to value its portfolio securities described above under "Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share."
That valuation will be made as of the time the redemption price is determined.
 

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board of Trustees has the right to cause the involuntary redemption of the shares held in any account if the aggregate net asset value of those shares is less than $500 or such lesser amount as the Board may fix. The Board will not cause the involuntary redemption of shares in an account if the aggregate net asset value of such shares has fallen below the stated minimum solely as a result of market fluctuations. If the Board exercises this right, it may also fix the requirements for any notice to be given to the shareholders in question (not less than 30 days). The Board may alternatively set requirements for the shareholder to increase the investment, or set other terms and conditions so that the shares would not be involuntarily redeemed.
 

Transfers of Shares. A transfer of shares to a different registration is not an event that triggers the payment of sales charges. Therefore, shares are not subject to the payment of a contingent deferred sales charge of any class at the time of transfer to the name of another person or entity. It does not matter whether the transfer occurs by absolute assignment, gift or bequest, as long as it does not involve, directly or indirectly, a public sale of the shares. When shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge are transferred, the transferred shares will remain subject to the contingent deferred sales charge. It will be calculated as if the transferee shareholder had acquired the transferred shares in the same manner and at the same time as the transferring shareholder.
 
     If less than all shares held in an account are transferred, and some but not all shares in the account would be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed at the time of transfer, the priorities described in the Prospectus under "How to Buy Shares"
for the imposition of the Class B, Class C and Class N contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in determining the order in which shares are transferred.

Distributions From Retirement Plans. Requests for distributions from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial plans, 401(k) plans or pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to "Trustee, OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its address listed in "How To Sell Shares" in the Prospectus or on the back cover of this SAI. The request must:


 

(1)     

state the reason for the distribution;


(2)     

state the owner's awareness of tax penalties if the distribution is premature; and


(3)     

conform to the requirements of the plan and the Fund's other redemption requirements.


     Participants (other than self-employed plan sponsors) in OppenheimerFunds-sponsored pension or profit-sharing plans with shares of the Fund held in the name of the plan or its fiduciary may not directly request redemption of their accounts. The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign the request.

Distributions from pension and profit sharing plans are subject to special requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and certain documents (available from the Transfer Agent) must be completed and submitted to the Transfer Agent before the distribution may be made. Distributions from retirement plans are subject to withholding requirements under the Internal Revenue Code, and IRS Form W-4P (available from the Transfer Agent) must be submitted to the Transfer Agent with the distribution request, or the distribution may be delayed. Unless the shareholder has provided the Transfer Agent with a certified tax identification number, the Internal Revenue Code requires that tax be withheld from any distribution even if the shareholder elects not to have tax withheld. The Fund, the Manager, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent assume no responsibility to determine whether a distribution satisfies the conditions of applicable tax laws and will not be responsible for any tax penalties assessed in connection with a distribution.

Special Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers. The Distributor is the Fund's agent to repurchase its shares from authorized dealers or brokers on behalf of their customers. Shareholders should contact their broker or dealer to arrange this type of redemption. The repurchase price per share will be the net asset value next computed after the Distributor receives an order placed by the dealer or broker. However, if the Distributor receives a repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the close of the NYSE on a regular business day, it will be processed at that day's net asset value if the order was received by the dealer or broker from its customers prior to the time the NYSE closes. Normally, the NYSE closes at 4:00 p.m., but may do so earlier on some days.
 
     Ordinarily, for accounts redeemed by a broker-dealer under this procedure, payment will be made within three business days after the shares have been redeemed upon the Distributor's receipt of the required redemption documents in proper form. The signature(s) of the registered owners on the redemption documents must be guaranteed as described in the Prospectus.
 

Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans. Investors can authorize the Transfer Agent to redeem shares (having a value of at least $50) automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Shares will be redeemed three business days prior to the date requested by the shareholder for receipt of the payment. Automatic withdrawals of up to $1,500 per month may be requested by telephone if payments are to be made by check payable to all shareholders of record. Payments must also be sent to the address of record for the account and the address must not have been changed within the prior 30 days. Required minimum distributions from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored retirement plans may not be arranged on this basis.

     Payments are normally made by check, but shareholders having AccountLink privileges (see "How To Buy Shares") may arrange to have Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments transferred to the bank account designated on the account application or by signature-guaranteed instructions sent to the Transfer Agent. Shares are normally redeemed pursuant to an Automatic Withdrawal Plan three business days before the payment transmittal date you select in the account application. If a contingent deferred sales charge applies to the redemption, the amount of the check or payment will be reduced accordingly.
 
     The Fund cannot guarantee receipt of a payment on the date requested. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering these plans at any time without prior notice. Because of the sales charge assessed on Class A share purchases, shareholders should not make regular additional Class A share purchases while participating in an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Class B, Class C and Class N shareholders should not establish automatic withdrawal plans, because of the potential imposition of the contingent deferred sales charge on such withdrawals (except where the Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales charge is waived as described in Appendix A to this SAI).

 

By requesting an Automatic Withdrawal or Exchange Plan, the shareholder agrees to the terms and conditions that apply to such plans, as stated below. These provisions may be amended from time to time by the Fund and/or the Distributor. When adopted, any amendments will automatically apply to existing Plans.

|X|     Automatic Exchange Plans. Shareholders can authorize the Transfer Agent to automatically exchange a pre-determined amount of shares of the Fund for shares (of the same class) of other Oppenheimer funds that offer the exchange privilege on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Exchange Plan. The minimum amount that may be exchanged to each other fund account is $50. Instructions should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds application or signature-guaranteed instructions. Exchanges made under these plans are subject to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in "How to Exchange Shares" in the Prospectus and below in this SAI.

Automatic Withdrawal Plans. Fund shares will be redeemed as necessary to meet withdrawal payments. Shares acquired without a sales charge will be redeemed first. Shares acquired with reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions will be redeemed next, followed by shares acquired with a sales charge, to the extent necessary to make withdrawal payments. Depending upon the amount withdrawn, the investor's principal may be depleted. Payments made under these plans should not be considered as a yield or income on your investment.

The Transfer Agent will administer the investor's Automatic Withdrawal Plan as agent for the shareholder(s) (the "Planholder") who executed the plan authorization and application submitted to the Transfer Agent. Neither the Fund nor the Transfer Agent shall incur any liability to the Planholder for any action taken or not taken by the Transfer Agent in good faith to administer the plan. Share certificates will not be issued for shares of the Fund purchased for and held under the plan, but the Transfer Agent will credit all such shares to the account of the Planholder on the records of the Fund. Any share certificates held by a Planholder may be surrendered unendorsed to the Transfer Agent with the plan application so that the shares represented by the certificate may be held under the plan.

For accounts subject to Automatic Withdrawal Plans, distributions of capital gains must be reinvested in shares of the Fund, which will be done at net asset value without a sales charge. Dividends on shares held in the account may be paid in cash or reinvested.

Shares will be redeemed to make withdrawal payments at the net asset value per share determined on the redemption date. Checks or AccountLink payments representing the proceeds of Plan withdrawals will normally be transmitted three business days prior to the date selected for receipt of the payment, according to the choice specified in writing by the Planholder. Receipt of payment on the date selected cannot be guaranteed.

The amount and the interval of disbursement payments and the address to which checks are to be mailed or AccountLink payments are to be sent may be changed at any time by the Planholder by writing to the Transfer Agent. The Planholder should allow at least two weeks' time after mailing such notification for the requested change to be put in effect. The Planholder may, at any time, instruct the Transfer Agent by written notice to redeem all, or any part of, the shares held under the plan. That notice must be in proper form in accordance with the requirements of the then-current Prospectus of the Fund. In that case, the Transfer Agent will redeem the number of shares requested at the net asset value per share in effect and will mail a check for the proceeds to the Planholder.

The Planholder may terminate a plan at any time. The Fund may also give directions to the Transfer Agent to terminate a plan. The Transfer Agent will also terminate a plan upon its receipt of evidence satisfactory to it that the Planholder has died or is legally incapacitated. Upon termination of a plan by the Transfer Agent or the Fund, shares that have not been redeemed will be held in uncertificated form in the name of the Planholder. The account will continue as a dividend-reinvestment, uncertificated account unless and until proper instructions are received from the Planholder, his or her executor or guardian, or another authorized person.

If the Transfer Agent ceases to act as transfer agent for the Fund, the Planholder will be deemed to have appointed any successor transfer agent to act as agent in administering the plan.

How to Exchange Shares

As stated in the Prospectus, shares of a particular class of Oppenheimer funds having more than one class of shares may be exchanged only for shares of the same class of other Oppenheimer funds. Shares of Oppenheimer funds that have a single class without a class designation are deemed "Class A" shares for this purpose. The prospectus of each of the Oppenheimer funds indicates which share class or classes that fund offers and provides information about limitations on the purchase of particular share classes, as applicable for the particular fund. You can also obtain a current list showing which funds offer which classes of shares by calling the Distributor at the telephone number indicated on the front cover of this SAI.

The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. Although the Fund may impose those changes at any time, it will provide you with notice of the changes whenever it is required to do so by applicable law. It may be required to provide 60 days' notice prior to materially amending or terminating the exchange privilege, except in extraordinary circumstances.

|X|     How Exchanges Affect Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. No contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on exchanges of shares of any class purchased subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, with the following exceptions:

     

When Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within 18 months measured from the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares. Except, however, with respect to Class A shares of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals acquired prior to October 22, 2007, in which case the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the acquired shares if they are redeemed within 24 months measured from the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class A shares.


     

When Class A shares of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals acquired prior to October 22, 2007 by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within 24 months of the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares.


     

If any Class A shares of another Oppenheimer fund that are exchanged for Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the other Oppenheimer fund at the time of exchange, the holding period for that Class A contingent deferred sales charge will carry over to the Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired in the exchange. The Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired in that exchange will be subject to the Class A Early Withdrawal Charge of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund if they are repurchased before the expiration of the holding period.


     

When Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves and Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within the Class A holding period of the fund from which the shares were exchanged, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the fund from which the shares were exchanged is imposed on the redeemed shares.


     

Except with respect to the Class B shares described in the next two paragraphs, the contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within six years of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.


     

With respect to Class B shares of Oppenheimer Limited Term California Municipal Fund, Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund, Oppenheimer Limited Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund and Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the acquired shares if they are redeemed within five years of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.


     

With respect to Class B shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves that were acquired through the exchange of Class B shares initially purchased in the Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund, the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the acquired shares if they are redeemed within five years of that initial purchase.


     

With respect to Class C shares, the Class C contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class C shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 12 months of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class C shares.


     

With respect to Class N shares, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge will be imposed if the retirement plan (not including IRAs and 403(b) plans) is terminated or Class N shares of all Oppenheimer funds are terminated as an investment option of the plan and Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months after the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund or with respect to an individual retirement plan or 403(b) plan, Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months of the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund.


     

When Class B, Class C or Class N shares are redeemed to effect an exchange, the priorities described in "How To Buy Shares" in the Prospectus for the imposition of the Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in determining the order in which the shares are exchanged. Before exchanging shares, shareholders should take into account how the exchange may affect any contingent deferred sales charge that might be imposed in the subsequent redemption of remaining shares.


     Shareholders owning shares of more than one class must specify which class of shares they wish to exchange.

     |X|     Telephone Exchange Requests. When exchanging shares by telephone, a shareholder must have an existing account in the fund to which the exchange is to be made. Otherwise, the investors must obtain a prospectus of that fund before the exchange request may be submitted. If all telephone lines are busy (which might occur, for example, during periods of substantial market fluctuations), shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by telephone and would have to submit written exchange requests.

Processing Exchange Requests. Shares to be exchanged are redeemed on the regular business day the Transfer Agent receives an exchange request in proper form (the "Redemption Date"). Normally, shares of the fund to be acquired are purchased on the Redemption Date, but such purchases may be delayed by either fund up to five business days if it determines that it would be disadvantaged by an immediate transfer of the redemption proceeds. The Fund reserves the right, in its discretion, to refuse any exchange request that may disadvantage it. For example, if the receipt of multiple exchange requests might require the disposition of portfolio securities at a time or at a price that might be disadvantageous to the Fund, the Fund may refuse the request.

     When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to another, any special account features that are available in the new fund (such as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Withdrawal Plan) will be switched to the new fund account unless you tell the Transfer Agent not to do so.

In connection with any exchange request, the number of shares exchanged may be less than the number requested if the exchange or the number requested would include shares subject to a restriction cited in the Prospectus or this SAI, or would include shares covered by a share certificate that is not tendered with the request. In those cases, only the shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.

The different Oppenheimer funds available for exchange have different investment objectives, policies and risks. A shareholder should assure that the fund selected is appropriate for his or her investment and should be aware of the tax consequences of an exchange. For federal income tax purposes, an exchange transaction is treated as a redemption of shares of one fund and a purchase of shares of another. "Reinvestment Privilege," above, discusses some of the tax consequences of reinvestment of redemption proceeds in such cases. The Fund, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent are unable to provide investment, tax or legal advice to a shareholder in connection with an exchange request or any other investment transaction.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends and Distributions. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and there can be no assurance as to the payment of any dividends or the realization of any capital gains. The dividends and distributions paid by a class of shares will vary from time to time depending on market conditions, the composition of the Fund's portfolio, and expenses borne by the Fund or borne separately by a class. Dividends are calculated in the same manner, at the same time, and on the same day for each class of shares. However, dividends on Class B, Class C and Class N shares are expected to be lower than dividends on Class A shares. That is because of the effect of the asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares. Those dividends will also differ in amount as a consequence of any difference in the net asset values of the different classes of shares.
 
     If a dividend check or a check representing an automatic withdrawal payment is returned to the Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as undeliverable, it will be reinvested in shares of the Fund. Returned checks for the proceeds of other redemptions will be invested in shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. Reinvestment will be made as promptly as possible after the return of such checks to the Transfer Agent. Unclaimed accounts may be subject to state escheatment laws, and the Fund and the Transfer Agent will not be liable to shareholders or their representatives for compliance with those laws in good faith.

Tax Status of the Fund's Dividends, Distributions and Redemptions of Shares. The federal tax treatment of the Fund's dividends and capital gains distributions is briefly highlighted in the Prospectus. The following is only a summary of certain additional tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders.

     The tax discussion in the Prospectus and this SAI is based on tax law in effect on the date of the Prospectus and this SAI. Those laws and regulations may be changed by legislative, judicial, or administrative action, sometimes with retroactive effect. State and local tax treatment of ordinary income dividends and capital gain dividends from regulated investment companies may differ from the treatment under the Internal Revenue Code described below. Potential purchasers of shares of the Fund are urged to consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax circumstances as well as the consequences of federal, state and local tax rules affecting an investment in the Fund.

Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company. The Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a regulated investment company, the Fund is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its net investment income (that is, taxable interest, dividends, and other taxable ordinary income, net of expenses) and capital gain net income (that is, the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that it distributes to shareholders. That qualification enables the Fund to "pass through" its income and realized capital gains to shareholders without having to pay tax on them. This avoids a "double tax" on that income and capital gains, since shareholders normally will be taxed on the dividends and capital gains they receive from the Fund (unless their Fund shares are held in a retirement account or the shareholder is otherwise exempt from tax).

     The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests relating to qualification that the Fund might not meet in a particular year. If it did not qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund would be treated for tax purposes as an ordinary corporation and would receive no tax deduction for payments made to shareholders.

To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (in brief, net investment income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss) for the taxable year. The Fund must also satisfy certain other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, some of which are described below. Distributions by the Fund made during the taxable year or, under specified circumstances, within 12 months after the close of the taxable year, will be considered distributions of income and gains for the taxable year and will therefore count toward satisfaction of the above-mentioned requirement.

     To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign currencies (to the extent such currency gains are directly related to the regulated investment company's principal business of investing in stock or securities) and certain other income including net income derived from an interest in a qualified publicly traded partnership.
 
     In addition to satisfying the requirements described above, the Fund must satisfy an asset diversification test in order to qualify as a regulated investment company. Under that test, at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets must consist of cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. Government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and securities of other issuers. As to each of those issuers, the Fund must not have invested more than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets in securities of each such issuer and the Fund must not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of each such issuer. No more than 25% of the value of its total assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies), or in two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses or in the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships.
For purposes of this test, obligations issued or guaranteed by certain agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government are treated as U.S. Government securities.
 

Excise Tax on Regulated Investment Companies. Under the Internal Revenue Code, by December 31 each year, the Fund must distribute 98% of its taxable investment income earned from January 1 through December 31 of that year and 98% of its capital gains realized in the period from November 1 of the prior year through October 31 of the current year. If it does not, the Fund must pay an excise tax on the amounts not distributed. It is presently anticipated that the Fund will meet those requirements. To meet this requirement, in certain circumstances the Fund might be required to liquidate portfolio investments to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise tax liability. However, the Board of Trustees and the Manager might determine in a particular year that it would be in the best interests of shareholders for the Fund not to make such distributions at the required levels and to pay the excise tax on the undistributed amounts. That would reduce the amount of income or capital gains available for distribution to shareholders.

Taxation of Fund Distributions. The Fund anticipates distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. Those distributions will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and treated as dividends for federal income tax purposes.

     Special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code govern the eligibility of the Fund's dividends for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders. Long-term capital gains distributions are not eligible for the deduction. The amount of dividends paid by the Fund that may qualify for the deduction is limited to the aggregate amount of qualifying dividends that the Fund derives from portfolio investments that the Fund has held for a minimum period, usually 46 days. A corporate shareholder will not be eligible for the deduction on dividends paid on Fund shares held for 45 days or less. To the extent the Fund's dividends are derived from gross income from option premiums, interest income or short-term gains from the sale of securities or dividends from foreign corporations, those dividends will not qualify for the deduction.

     The Fund may either retain or distribute to shareholders its net capital gain for each taxable year. The Fund currently intends to distribute any such amounts. If net long term capital gains are distributed and designated as a capital gain distribution, it will be taxable to shareholders as a long-term capital gain and will be properly identified in reports sent to shareholders in January of each year. Such treatment will apply no matter how long the shareholder has held his or her shares or whether that gain was recognized by the Fund before the shareholder acquired his or her shares.
 
     If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund will be subject to tax on it at the 35% corporate tax rate.
If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund will provide to shareholders of record on the last day of its taxable year information regarding their pro rata share of the gain and tax paid. As a result, each shareholder will be required to report his or her pro rata share of such gain on their tax return as long-term capital gain, will receive a refundable tax credit for his/her pro rata share of tax paid by the Fund on the gain, and will increase the tax basis for his/her shares by an amount equal to the deemed distribution less the tax credit.
 
     Investment income that may be received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject to foreign taxes withheld at the source. The United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries which entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such income. The Fund may be subject to U.S. Federal income tax, and an interest charge, on certain distributions or gains from the sale of shares of a foreign company considered to be a PFIC, even if those amounts are paid out as dividends to shareholders. To avoid imposition of the interest charge, the Fund may elect to "mark to market"
all PFIC shares that it holds at the end of each taxable year. In that case, any increase or decrease in the value of those shares would be recognized as ordinary income or as ordinary loss (but only to the extent of previously recognized "mark-to-market" gains).

     Distributions by the Fund that do not constitute ordinary income dividends or capital gain distributions will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the shareholder's tax basis in their shares. Any excess will be treated as gain from the sale of those shares, as discussed below. Shareholders will be advised annually as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year. If prior distributions made by the Fund must be re-characterized as a non-taxable return of capital at the end of the fiscal year as a result of the effect of the Fund's investment policies, they will be identified as such in notices sent to shareholders.

     Distributions by the Fund will be treated in the manner described above regardless of whether the distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund (or of another fund). Shareholders receiving a distribution in the form of additional shares will be treated as receiving a distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received, determined as of the reinvestment date.

     The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold 28% of ordinary income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any shareholder (1) who has failed to provide a correct taxpayer identification number or to properly certify that number when required, (2) who is subject to backup withholding for failure to report the receipt of interest or dividend income properly, or (3) who has failed to certify to the Fund that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding or is an "exempt recipient" (such as a corporation). Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of each year with a copy sent to the IRS.
 

Tax Effects of Redemptions of Shares. If a shareholder redeems all or a portion of his/her shares, the shareholder will recognize a gain or loss on the redeemed shares in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds of the redeemed shares and the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the shares. All or a portion of any loss recognized in that manner may be disallowed if the shareholder purchases other shares of the Fund within 30 days before or after the redemption.

In general, any gain or loss arising from the redemption of shares of the Fund will be considered capital gain or loss, if the shares were held as a capital asset. It will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were held for more than one year. However, any capital loss arising from the redemption of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain dividends received on those shares. Special holding period rules under the Internal Revenue Code apply in this case to determine the holding period of shares and there are limits on the deductibility of capital losses in any year.

Foreign Shareholders. Under U.S. tax law, taxation of a shareholder who is a foreign person (to include, but not limited to, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign trust, a foreign estate, a foreign corporation, or a foreign partnership) primarily depends on whether the foreign person's income from the Fund is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business. Typically, ordinary income dividends paid from a mutual fund are not considered "effectively connected" income.

Ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Fund (and are deemed not "effectively connected income") to foreign persons will be subject to a U.S. tax withheld by the Fund at a rate of 30%, provided the Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. The tax rate may be reduced if the foreign person's country of residence has a tax treaty with the U.S. allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in March of each year with a copy sent to the IRS.

If the ordinary income dividends from the Fund are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, then the foreign person may claim an exemption from the U.S. tax described above provided the Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. If the foreign person fails to provide a certification of his/her foreign status, the Fund will be required to withhold U.S. tax at a rate of 28% on ordinary income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any foreign person. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of each year with a copy sent to the IRS.

     The tax consequences to foreign persons entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable tax treaty may be different from those described herein. Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors or the U.S. Internal Revenue Service with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund, including the applicability of the U.S. withholding taxes described above.

Dividend Reinvestment in Another Fund. Shareholders of the Fund may elect to reinvest all dividends and/or capital gains distributions in shares of the same class of any of the other Oppenheimer funds into which you may exchange shares. Reinvestment will be made without sales charge at the net asset value per share in effect at the close of business on the payable date of the dividend or distribution. To elect this option, the shareholder must notify the Transfer Agent or his or her financial intermediary and must have an existing account in the fund selected for reinvestment. Otherwise the shareholder first must obtain a prospectus for that fund and an application from the Distributor to establish an account. Dividends and/or distributions from shares of certain other Oppenheimer funds may be invested in shares of this Fund on the same basis.

Additional Information About the Fund

The Distributor. The Fund's shares are sold through dealers, brokers and other financial institutions that have a sales agreement with OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager that acts as the Fund's Distributor. The Distributor also distributes shares of the other Oppenheimer funds and is sub-distributor for funds managed by a subsidiary of the Manager.
 

The Transfer Agent. OppenheimerFunds Services, the Fund's Transfer Agent, is a division of the Manager. It is responsible for maintaining the Fund's shareholder registry and shareholder accounting records, and for paying dividends and distributions to shareholders. It also handles shareholder servicing and administrative functions. It serves as the Transfer Agent for an annual per account fee. It also acts as shareholder servicing agent for the other Oppenheimer funds. Shareholders should direct inquiries about their accounts to the Transfer Agent at the address and toll-free numbers shown on the back cover.

The Warranty Provider. Merrill Lynch Bank USA, located at 15 West South Temple Square, Suite 300 Salt Lake City, Utah 84101, has entered into the Warranty Agreement with the Fund. Merrill Lynch Bank USA's principal business is to engage in banking activities. Merrill Lynch

Bank USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (ML&Co). On December 5, 2008 the shareholders of ML&Co approved a transaction whereby ML&Co will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation. That acquisition is expected to close by the end of 2008, pending the receipt of regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The most recent audited annual and unaudited quarterly financial statements of Merrill Lynch Bank USA will be filed with Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust's Form N-1A Registration Statement when such financial statements become available. When available, you may request a copy of Merrill Lynch Bank USA's financial statements, free of charge, by calling the Transfer Agent at the toll-free number listed on the back cover of this SAI.

The Custodian. JPMorgan Chase Bank is the custodian of the Fund's assets. The custodian's responsibilities include safeguarding and controlling the Fund's portfolio securities and handling the delivery of such securities to and from the Fund. It is the practice of the Fund to deal with the custodian in a manner uninfluenced by any banking relationship the custodian may have with the Manager and its affiliates. The Fund's cash balances with the custodian in excess of $100,000 are not protected by federal deposit insurance. Those uninsured balances at times may be substantial.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.
 
KPMG LLP serves as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund. KPMG LLP audits the Fund's financial statements and performs other related audit and tax services. KPMG LLP also acts as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Manager and certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates. Audit and non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP to the Fund must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Financial Statements. The audited financial statements for the Oppenheimer Main Street Fund (the "Underlying Fund") are included in this Statement of Additional Information. You may request a copy of that annual report at no charge by calling the toll-free number listed on the back cover of this Statement of Additional Information during normal business hours on any business day.

OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET FUND (UNDERLYING FUND)
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Main Street Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Main Street Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Oppenheimer Main Street Fund, Inc., including the statement of investments, as of August 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2008, 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 then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

     Shares are not offered during the Warranty Period (August 5, 2003 to August 5, 2010) to the Maturity Date (August 5, 2010) except in connection with reinvestment of dividends and distributions. During the Warranty Period, the Fund will allocate its assets between Oppenheimer Main Street Fund (the Underlying Fund), which seeks high total return, and certain U.S. government securities. The allocation of the Funds assets between the debt portfolio and the equity portfolio will vary over time based upon the Warranty Formula. The formula is intended to allow the Fund to have a net asset value on the Maturity Date at least equal to the Warranty Amount.
     The Underlying Fund has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Funds investments and therefore the value of the Funds shares.
     During the Warranty Period, the Fund will invest a portion of its assets, and in certain circumstances, the Fund may invest all of its assets, in U.S. government securities having maturities approximately equal to the period remaining in the Warranty Period.
     The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 88 months after the date of purchase.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Warranty Agreement. The Fund has entered into a Financial Warranty Agreement with Merrill Lynch Bank USA (the Warranty Provider) to ensure that on the Maturity Date each shareholders account will be no less than the value of that shareholders account on the second business day after the end of the Offering Period (the Warranty Amount). This value will include net income, if any, earned by the Fund during the offering period
F10 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND

 


 

and be reduced by adjustments permitted under the Warranty Agreement, sales charges, applicable share of extraordinary expenses and proportionately reduced for dividends and distributions paid in cash and redemptions of Fund shares. To avoid a reduced Warranty Amount, shareholders must reinvest all dividends and distributions received from the Fund to purchase additional shares of the Fund and must not redeem any shares of the Fund during the Warranty Period. If the value of the Funds assets on the Maturity Date is insufficient to result in the value of each shareholders account being at least equal to the shareholders Warranty Amount, the Warranty Provider will pay the Fund an amount equal to the excess of his or her Warranty Amount over his or her account value.
     The Financial Warranty is solely the obligation of the Warranty Provider. It is possible that the financial position of the Warranty Provider may deteriorate and it would be unable to satisfy its obligations under the Financial Warranty. The Funds assets and the obligations of the Warranty Provider under the Warranty Agreement are not guaranteed by Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (the Warranty Providers parent company), the United States Government, the Manager, or any other entity or person.
     The Warranty Agreement requires the Manager, on behalf of the Fund, to comply with certain agreed upon investment parameters in an attempt to limit the Funds risk. If the Manager fails to comply with the agreed-upon investment parameters or otherwise fails to comply with certain requirements set forth in the Warranty Agreement, the Warranty Provider may terminate its Financial Warranty in certain limited circumstances. The Warranty Provider may monitor the Funds compliance with the Warranty Agreement solely to protect the interests of the Warranty Provider and not the Funds shareholders. The fee paid to the Warranty Provider is an annual fee of 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. If the Fund is required to make a complete and irreversible allocation of its assets to the debt portfolio, the Warranty Fee will thereafter be reduced to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of shares based upon the net asset value of the Underlying Fund. For the Underlying Fund, the net asset value per share for a class of shares is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading by dividing the value of the Underlying Funds net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of that class outstanding on that day. To determine net asset values, the Underlying Funds assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.
     Long term debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days will be valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Money market-type debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity, or amortized cost, which approximates market value.

     Securities held by the Fund and/or an Underlying Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value. Securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund and/or Underlying Funds assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued. Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Fund and, when applicable, Underlying Funds Board of Trustees.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (IMMF) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Funds investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMFs Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Funds investment in IMMF.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Funds tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

2.   During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007, the Fund utilized $1,992,779 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for August 31, 2008. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Trustees Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of Other within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Funds assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. Custodian fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The Reduction to custodian expenses line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Funds organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection
F14 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND

 


 

with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations and investments in IMMF, for the year ended August 31, 2008, were as follows:
                 
    Purchases     Sales

U.S. government and government agency obligations
    92,698,626       53,172,111  
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays management fees to the Manager at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average annual net assets of the Fund reduced by the amount of advisory fees paid to the Manager by the Underlying Fund relating to the Funds assets invested in the Underlying Fund. However, the management fees shall not be reduced below zero. Management fees will apply during the Warranty Period and the Post-Warranty Period.
     If during the Warranty Period 100% of the Funds assets are completely and irreversibly invested in the debt portfolio, the management fee will be at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average annual net assets of the Fund, and if that occurs the Manager will further reduce its management fee to the extent necessary so that expenses after waivers and reductions to the Fund (other than extraordinary expenses such as litigation costs) do not exceed 1.30% for Class A shares, 2.05% for Class B shares, 2.05% for Class C shares and 1.55% for Class N shares. However, if this reduction in the management fee is not sufficient to reduce expenses after waivers and reductions to these limits, the Manager is not required to subsidize Fund expenses to assure that expenses do not exceed those limits. Furthermore, if expenses exceed these expense limits, the Warranty Amount will be reduced by any expenses that exceed those limits. In addition, during the Warranty Period the Manager has voluntarily agreed to reduce the management fee payable by the Fund by 0.00833% per month in any month following a month where the Funds average daily equity allocation was less than 10%. Those voluntary undertakings may be amended or eliminated at any time.
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the year ended August 31, 2008, the Fund paid $120,831 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributors Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the Distributor) acts as the Funds principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Funds classes of shares.
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the Plan) for Class A shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plan,
F16 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND

 


 

the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the Plans) for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. The Distributors aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at June 30, 2008 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $1,550,960, $942,011 and $89,987, respectively. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period indicated.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has voluntarily undertaken to reimburse the Fund for expenses equal to the Underlying Fund expenses, other than Underlying Fund management fees, paid by the Fund as a shareholder of the Underlying Fund. That expense reimbursement will fluctuate as the Funds allocation between the

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued
Underlying Fund and the debt portfolio changes. During the year ended August 31, 2008, the Manager reimbursed the Fund $39,734. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or eliminated at any time.
     OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Funds investment in IMMF. During the year ended August 31, 2008, the Manager waived $1,545 for IMMF management fees.
5. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
     As of August 31, 2008, the Fund had no securities on loan.
6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of August 31, 2008, the Manager does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will materially impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
F18 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND

 


 

     In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Funds financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Funds financial statements and related disclosures.
7. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund (the Fund), a series of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust, including the statement of investments, as of August 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2008, 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 then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET FUND (UNDERLYING FUND)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Main Street Fund (the Fund) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Main Street Funds, Inc., an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Funds investment objective is to seek a high total return. The Funds investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).
     The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the institutional investor may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Securities may be valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Directors. Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Funds assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ are valued based on the closing price reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Funds assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the closing bid and asked prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service, prior to the time when the Funds assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the official closing price on the principal exchange. Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities will be valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily

available are valued at their fair value. Securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Funds assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued. Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Directors. Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at the acquired investment companys net asset value per share. Money market-type debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Funds accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Directors.
     Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
     The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Funds Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (IMMF) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Funds investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMFs Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Funds investment in IMMF.

Investment in OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC. The Fund is permitted to invest cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending activities. Pursuant to the Funds Securities Lending Procedures, the Fund may invest cash collateral in, among other investments, an affiliated money market fund. OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC (LAF) is a limited liability company whose investment objective is to seek current income and stability of principal. The Manager is also the investment adviser of LAF. LAF is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, LAF does comply with the investment restrictions applicable to registered money market funds set forth in Rule 2a-7 adopted under the Investment Company Act. The Funds investment in LAF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of LAFs expenses, including its management fee of 0.08%.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Funds tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for August 31, 2008. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

    Year Ended     Year Ended  
    August 31, 2008     August 31, 2007

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of August 31, 2008 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Directors Compensation. The Board of Directors has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent directors that enables directors to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Director under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Director. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Director in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of Other within the asset section of the
64 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND

 


 

Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of directors fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Funds assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. Custodian fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The Reduction to custodian expenses line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Funds organizational documents provide current and former directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fee Schedule        
 
Up to $200 million
    0.65 %
Next $150 million

     Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 annually for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees.
Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributors Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the Distributor) acts as the Funds principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Funds classes of shares.
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the Plan) for Class A shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the Plans) for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Directors and its independent directors must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. The Distributors aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at June 30, 2008 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $14,964,612, $39,610,271 and $3,940,886, respectively.

5. Illiquid Securities
As of August 31, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
6. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. As of August 31, 2008, the Fund had on loan securities valued at $556,345,813. Collateral of $570,809,900 was received for the loans, all of which was subsequently invested in approved instruments.
7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of August 31, 2008, the Manager does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will materially impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Continued
     In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Funds financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Funds financial statements and related disclosures.
8. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

Appendix A

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

Shares of the Fund were sold during the Offering Period and cannot be purchased during the Warranty Period.
 

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A shares2 of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge that may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.3 That is because of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this document as the "Distributor"), or by dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares to certain classes of investors. Not all waivers apply to all funds.

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of the applicable Oppenheimer funds, the term "Retirement Plan" refers to the following types of plans:

1)     plans created or qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,

2)     non-qualified deferred compensation plans,

3)     employee benefit plans4
4)     Group Retirement Plans5
5)     403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
6)     Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

The interpretation of these provisions as to the applicability of a special arrangement or waiver in a particular case is in the sole discretion of the Distributor or the transfer agent (referred to in this document as the "Transfer Agent") of the particular Oppenheimer fund. These waivers and special arrangements may be amended or terminated at any time by a particular fund, the Distributor, and/or OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (referred to in this document as the "Manager").

Waivers that apply at the time shares are redeemed must be requested by the shareholder and/or dealer in the redemption request.

I.     

Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases


Purchases of Class A Shares of Oppenheimer Funds That Are Not Subject to Initial Sales Charge but May Be Subject to the Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (unless a waiver applies).
 

     There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases may be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within 18 months (24 months in the case of shares of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals purchased prior to October 22, 2007) of the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a waiver described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the redemption). Additionally, on shares purchased under these waivers that are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the Distributor will pay the applicable concession described in the Prospectus under "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."6 This waiver provision applies to:

q     

Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more.


q     

Purchases of Class A shares, prior to March 1, 2007, by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to purchase such shares at net asset value but subject to a contingent deferred sales charge prior to March 1, 2001. That included plans (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3) certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan purchases of $200,000 or more.


q     

Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Rollover IRA, if the purchases are made:


1)     through a broker, dealer, bank or registered investment adviser that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases, or

2)     by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified Retirement Plan if the administrator of that Plan has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.

q     

Purchases of Class A shares by Retirement Plans that have any of the following record-keeping arrangements:


1)     The record keeping is performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") on a daily valuation basis for the Retirement Plan. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more of its assets invested in (a) mutual funds, other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch Investment Management, L.P. ("MLIM"), that are made available under a Service Agreement between Merrill Lynch and the mutual fund's principal underwriter or distributor, and (b) funds advised or managed by MLIM (the funds described in (a) and (b) are referred to as "Applicable Investments").

2)     The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $5 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.

3)     The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan sponsor signs that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).

IV.     

Special Sales Charge Arrangements for Shareholders of Certain Oppenheimer Funds Who Were Shareholders of Former Quest for Value Funds


The initial and contingent deferred sales charge rates and waivers for Class A, Class B and Class C shares described in the Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information of the Oppenheimer funds are modified as described below for certain persons who were shareholders of the former Quest for Value Funds. To be eligible, those persons must have been shareholders on November 24, 1995, when OppenheimerFunds, Inc. became the investment adviser to those former Quest for Value Funds. Those funds include:

Oppenheimer Rising Dividends Fund, Inc.          Oppenheimer Small- & Mid- Cap Value Fund

Oppenheimer Quest Balanced Fund               Oppenheimer Quest International Value Fund, Inc.

Oppenheimer Quest Opportunity Value Fund

     These arrangements also apply to shareholders of the following funds when they merged (were reorganized) into various Oppenheimer funds on November 24, 1995:

Quest for Value U.S. Government Income Fund     Quest for Value New York Tax-Exempt Fund

Quest for Value Investment Quality Income Fund     Quest for Value National Tax-Exempt Fund

Quest for Value Global Income Fund     Quest for Value California Tax-Exempt Fund

     All of the funds listed above are referred to in this Appendix as the "Former Quest for Value Funds." The waivers of initial and contingent deferred sales charges described in this Appendix apply to shares of an Oppenheimer fund that are either:

q     

acquired by such shareholder pursuant to an exchange of shares of an Oppenheimer fund that was one of the Former Quest for Value Funds, or


q     

purchased by such shareholder by exchange of shares of another Oppenheimer fund that were acquired pursuant to the merger of any of the Former Quest for Value Funds into that other Oppenheimer fund on November 24, 1995.

Reduced Class A Initial Sales Charge Rates for Certain Former Quest for Value Funds Shareholders.


Purchases by Groups and Associations. The following table sets forth the initial sales charge rates for Class A shares purchased by members of "Associations" formed for any purpose other than the purchase of securities. The rates in the table apply if that Association purchased shares of any of the Former Quest for Value Funds or received a proposal to purchase such shares from OCC Distributors prior to November 24, 1995.

Number of Eligible Employees or Members

Initial Sales Charge as a % of Offering Price

Initial Sales Charge as a % of Net Amount Invested

     For purchases by Associations having 50 or more eligible employees or members, there is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares, but those shares are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge described in the applicable fund's Prospectus.
 

     Purchases made under this arrangement qualify for the lower of either the sales charge rate in the table based on the number of members of an Association, or the sales charge rate that applies under the Right of Accumulation described in the applicable fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. Individuals who qualify under this arrangement for reduced sales charge rates as members of Associations also may purchase shares for their individual or custodial accounts at these reduced sales charge rates, upon request to the Distributor.

n

The shares must have been acquired by the merger of a Former Quest for Value Fund into the fund or by exchange from an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Quest for Value Fund or into which such fund merged. Those shares must have been purchased prior to March 6, 1995 in connection with:


     

withdrawals under an automatic withdrawal plan holding only either Class B or Class C shares if the annual withdrawal does not exceed 10% of the initial value of the account value, adjusted annually, and


     

liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value of shares held in the account is less than the required minimum value of such accounts.


n     

Waivers for Redemptions of Shares Purchased on or After March 6, 1995 but Prior to November 24, 1995. In the following cases, the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for redemptions of Class A, Class B or Class C shares of an Oppenheimer fund.

are modified as described below for those Fund shareholders who were shareholders of the following funds (referred to as the "Former Connecticut Mutual Funds") on March 1, 1996, when OppenheimerFunds, Inc. became the investment adviser to the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds:

Connecticut Mutual Liquid Account     Connecticut Mutual Total Return Account

Connecticut Mutual Government Securities Account     CMIA LifeSpan Capital Appreciation Account

Connecticut Mutual Income Account     CMIA LifeSpan Balanced Account
Connecticut Mutual Growth Account     CMIA Diversified Income Account

A.     Prior Class A CDSC and Class A Sales Charge Waivers.

n     

Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Certain shareholders of a Fund and the other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds are entitled to continue to make additional purchases of Class A shares at net asset value without a Class A initial sales charge, but subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge that was in effect prior to March 18, 1996 (the "prior Class A CDSC"). Under the prior Class A CDSC, if any of those shares are redeemed within one year of purchase, they will be assessed a 1% contingent deferred sales charge on an amount equal to the current market value or the original purchase price of the shares sold, whichever is smaller (in such redemptions, any shares not subject to the prior Class A CDSC will be redeemed first).


Those shareholders who are eligible for the prior Class A CDSC are:

1)     persons whose purchases of Class A shares of a Fund and other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds were $500,000 prior to March 18, 1996, as a result of direct purchases or purchases pursuant to the Fund's policies on Combined Purchases or Rights of Accumulation, who still hold those shares in that Fund or other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and

2)     persons whose intended purchases under a Statement of Intention entered into prior to March 18, 1996, with the former general distributor of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds to purchase shares valued at $500,000 or more over a 13-month period entitled those persons to purchase shares at net asset value without being subject to the Class A initial sales charge

Any of the Class A shares of a Fund and the other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds that were purchased at net asset value prior to March 18, 1996, remain subject to the prior Class A CDSC, or if any additional shares are purchased by those shareholders at net asset value pursuant to this arrangement they will be subject to the prior Class A CDSC.

n     

Class A Sales Charge Waivers. Additional Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased without a sales charge, by a person who was in one (or more) of the categories below and acquired Class A shares prior to March 18, 1996, and still holds Class A shares:


1)     any purchaser, provided the total initial amount invested in the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds totaled $500,000 or more, including investments made pursuant to the Combined Purchases, Statement of Intention and Rights of Accumulation features available at the time of the initial purchase and such investment is still held in one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds or a Fund into which such Fund merged;

2)     any participant in a qualified plan, provided that the total initial amount invested by the plan in the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds totaled $500,000 or more;

3)     Directors of the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds and members of their immediate families;

4)     employee benefit plans sponsored by Connecticut Mutual Financial Services, L.L.C. ("CMFS"), the prior distributor of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and its affiliated companies;

5)     one or more members of a group of at least 1,000 persons (and persons who are retirees from such group) engaged in a common business, profession, civic or charitable endeavor or other activity, and the spouses and minor dependent children of such persons, pursuant to a marketing program between CMFS and such group; and

6)     an institution acting as a fiduciary on behalf of an individual or individuals, if such institution was directly compensated by the individual(s) for recommending the purchase of the shares of the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, provided the institution had an agreement with CMFS.

Purchases of Class A shares made pursuant to (1) and (2) above may be subject to the Class A CDSC of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds described above.

Additionally, Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased without a sales charge by any holder of a variable annuity contract issued in New York State by Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company through the Panorama Separate Account which is beyond the applicable surrender charge period and which was used to fund a qualified plan, if that holder exchanges the variable annuity contract proceeds to buy Class A shares of the Fund.

B.     Class A and Class B Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Waivers.

In addition to the waivers set forth in the Prospectus and in this Appendix, above, the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for redemptions of Class A and Class B shares of a Fund and exchanges of Class A or Class B shares of a Fund into Class A or Class B shares of a Former Connecticut Mutual Fund provided that the Class A or Class B shares of the Fund to be redeemed or exchanged were (i) acquired prior to March 18, 1996 or (ii) were acquired by exchange from an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Connecticut Mutual Fund. Additionally, the shares of such Former Connecticut Mutual Fund must have been purchased prior to March 18, 1996:

1)     by the estate of a deceased shareholder;

2)     upon the disability of a shareholder, as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code;

3)     for retirement distributions (or loans) to participants or beneficiaries from retirement plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 403(b)(7)of the Code, or from IRAs, deferred compensation plans created under Section 457 of the Code, or other employee benefit plans;

4)     

as tax-free returns of excess contributions to such retirement or employee benefit plans;


5)     in whole or in part, in connection with shares sold to any state, county, or city, or any instrumentality, department, authority, or agency thereof, that is prohibited by applicable investment laws from paying a sales charge or concession in connection with the purchase of shares of any registered investment management company;

Appendix B

Information About the Underlying Fund

Additional Information About the Underlying Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

The investment objective, the principal investment policies and the main risks of the Oppenheimer Main Street Fund (the "Underlying Fund") are described in the Underlying Fund's Prospectus as well as the Prospectus for Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund. This Appendix B contains supplemental information about those policies and risks and the types of securities that the Underlying Fund's investment Manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., can select for the Underlying Fund. Additional information is also provided about the strategies that the Underlying Fund can use to try to achieve its objective.

The Underlying Fund's Principal Investment Policies. The composition of the Underlying Fund's portfolio and the techniques and strategies that the Underlying Fund's Manager can use in selecting portfolio securities will vary over time. The Underlying Fund is not required to use any of the investment techniques and strategies described below at all times in seeking its goal. It can use some of the special investment techniques and strategies at some times or not at all.
 

     |X| Investments in Equity Securities. The Underlying Fund does not limit its investments in equity securities to issuers having a market capitalization of a specified size or range, and therefore may invest in securities of small-, mid- and large-capitalization issuers. At times, the Underlying Fund may focus its equity investments in securities of one or more capitalization ranges, based on the Manager's judgment of where the best market opportunities are and whether the market favors or disfavors securities of issuers of a particular capitalization range. Securities of smaller capitalization issuers generally may be subject to greater price volatility than securities of larger companies. If the Underlying Fund focuses on investments in smaller capitalization companies, the Underlying Fund's share prices may fluctuate more than that of funds focusing on larger capitalization issuers. The Underlying Fund currently focuses on securities of larger capitalization issuers.

|_| Rights and Warrants. The Underlying Fund may invest in rights and warrants. Warrants are options to purchase equity securities at a specific price during a specific period of time. The market for them may be very limited and it may be difficult for the Underlying Fund to dispose of promptly at an acceptable price. The price of a warrant does not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying security and generally may be more volatile than the price of the underlying security. Rights are similar to warrants, but are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders and normally have a short duration. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer. The Underlying Fund can invest up to 10% of its total assets in warrants or rights, although the Underlying Fund does not currently intend to invest more than 5% of its total assets in warrants or rights.

o     Convertible Securities. Convertible securities are debt securities or preferred stocks that are convertible into the issuer's common stock or other equity securities. While many convertible securities are considered to be mainly debt securities, certain convertible securities are regarded more as "equity equivalents" because of their conversion feature. The market value of a convertible security reflects both its "investment value," which is its expected income potential, and its "conversion value," which is its anticipated market value if it were converted. If its investment value exceeds its conversion value, the security will behave more like a debt security, and the security's price will likely increase when interest rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise. If its conversion value exceeds its investment value, the security will behave more like an equity security. In that case its price will tend to fluctuate with the price of the underlying common stock or other security.

Convertible debt securities, like other debt securities, are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. For convertible securities that are considered to be "equity equivalents," their credit quality generally has less impact on the security's value than in the case of non-convertible debt securities. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation's capital structure and therefore are subject to less risk than common stock in case of an issuer's bankruptcy or liquidation.
To determine whether convertible securities should be regarded as "equity equivalents,"
the Manager may consider a number of factors, including:

     

whether the convertible security can be exchanged for a fixed number of shares of common stock of the issuer or is subject to a "cap" or a conversion formula or other type of limit;


     

whether the convertible security can be exchanged at a time determined by the Underlying Fund rather than by the issuer;


     

whether the issuer of the convertible securities has restated its earnings per share on a fully diluted basis (that is, as if all of the issuer's convertible securities were converted into common stock); and


     

the extent to which the convertible security may provide the ability to participate in any appreciation in the price of the issuer's common stock.


|X| Investments in Debt Securities. Although the Underlying Fund can invest in bonds, debentures and other debt securities, the Underlying Fund currently emphasizes investments in equity securities and it is not anticipated that a significant amount of the Underlying Fund's assets will be invested in debt securities. If debt securities seem to offer better opportunities than equity securities or to seek higher current income or for liquidity purposes, however, the Manager can shift more of the Underlying Fund's investments into debt securities. In general debt securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk.

oCredit Risk. Credit risk refers to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments on the security as they become due.

oInterest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of a debt security resulting from the relationship between price and yield. An increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already-issued debt securities and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. Debt securities with longer maturities are usually subject to greater fluctuations in value from interest rate changes than obligations having shorter maturities. Except for investments in variable rate debt securities, fluctuations in general interest rates do not affect the interest income the Underlying Fund receives. Fluctuations in the market valuations of debt securities, however, may affect the Underlying Fund's net assets.

The Underlying Fund's investments in debt securities can include investment-grade and non-investment-grade securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"). Investment-grade bonds are bonds rated at least "Baa" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., ("Moody's") or at least "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc., or that have comparable ratings by another nationally-recognized rating organization. While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by S&P's or Fitch, Inc. are investment grade and are not regarded as junk bonds, those securities may also be subject to special risks and have some speculative characteristics.

The Manager may also use its own research to evaluate a security's credit-worthiness. If the securities that the Underlying Fund buys are unrated, they may be judged by the Manager to be of comparable quality to bonds rated as investment grade or below investment grade by a rating organization. Because lower-rated securities tend to offer higher yields than investment grade securities, the Underlying Fund may invest in lower grade securities to try to achieve greater income or to seek capital appreciation. The Underlying Fund can invest in securities rated as low as "C" or "D" or which may be in default at the time the Underlying Fund buys them. Although the Underlying Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in debt securities that are below investment grade, it does not currently intend to invest more that 10% of its total assets in lower grade debt securities. The Underlying Fund may not invest more than 10% of its total assets in lower-grade debt securities that are not convertible. Definitions of the debt security ratings categories of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch, Inc. are included in Appendix A to this SAI.

     |_| U.S. Government Securities. The Underlying Fund can buy securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities. Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and are subject to very little credit risk. Obligations of U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities (including mortgage-backed securities) may be guaranteed or supported by the "full faith and credit" of the United States or may be backed by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase the agencies' obligations. Others are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. "Full faith and credit" means that the taxing power of the U.S. government is pledged to the payment of interest and repayment of principal on a security. If a security is not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, he owner of the security must look principally to the agency issuing the obligation for repayment. While U.S. government securities have little credit risk, prior to their maturity they are subject to price fluctuations from changes in interest rates.

o     Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Lower rated securities generally have a greater risk that the issuer may default on its obligation to pay interest or to repay principal than in the case of investment grade securities. The issuer's lower credit rating may also increase the potential for its insolvency. There may be less of a market for lower-grade securities and therefore they may be harder to sell at an acceptable price. As a result of the limited liquidity of high-yield securities, their prices have at times experienced significant and rapid decline when a substantial number of holders decided to sell, which is more likely during a period of a general economic downturn. An economic downturn or an increase in interest rates could severely disrupt the market for high yield bonds, adversely affecting the values of outstanding bonds. In the case of foreign high yield bonds, these risks are in addition to the special risks of foreign investing discussed in the Prospectus and in this SAI.

|X| Investments in Foreign Securities. The Underlying Fund may invest in foreign equity and debt securities. "Foreign securities" include equity and debt securities of companies organized under the laws of countries other than the United States and debt securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or by supra-national entities such as the World Bank, and by their agencies or instrumentalities. Foreign securities may be traded on foreign securities exchanges or in foreign over-the-counter markets.

Investing in foreign securities offers potential benefits that are not available from investing only in the securities of U.S issuers. Those benefits include the opportunity to invest in foreign issuers that appear to offer growth potential, or to invest in foreign countries with economic policies or business cycles different from those of the U.S., or to take advantage of markets that may not move parallel to U.S. markets to try to reduce fluctuations in the Underlying Fund's portfolio value.

The percentage of the Underlying Fund's assets that are allocated to foreign securities may vary over time depending on a number of factors including the relative yields of foreign and U.S. securities, the economies of foreign countries, the condition of foreign financial markets, the interest rate climate in particular foreign countries, and the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar. The Underlying Fund must compute its net asset value and its income in U.S. dollars and a change in the dollar value of a foreign currency may result in a change in the Underlying Fund's net asset value or its investment income. The Manager may analyze fundamental economic criteria (for example, relative inflation levels and trends, growth rate forecasts, balance of payments status, and economic policies) as well as technical and political data.

Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American Depository Receipts or that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter markets are not considered "foreign securities" for the purpose of the Underlying Fund's investment allocations. That is because they are not subject to many of the special considerations and risks that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.

          |_| Risks of Foreign Investing. Investments in foreign securities may also present special additional risks not typically associated with investments in U.S. securities including:

     

the reduction of income by foreign taxes;


     

fluctuations in the value of foreign investments due to changes in currency rates or currency control regulations;


     

transaction charges for currency exchange;


     

a lack of public information about foreign issuers;


     

a lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards in foreign countries compared to those applicable to U.S. issuers;


     

lower trading volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;


     

greater volatility and less liquidity in foreign markets than in the U.S.;


     

less government regulation of foreign issuers, stock exchanges and brokers than in the U.S.;


     

greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;


     

higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;


     

increased risks of delays in settlement of portfolio transactions;


     

increased risks of loss of certificates for portfolio securities;


     

possibilities in some countries of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political, financial or social instability or adverse diplomatic developments; and


     

unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.


     In the past, U.S. government policies have discouraged certain investments abroad by U.S. investors, through taxation or other restrictions, and it is possible that such restrictions could be re-imposed.

|X| Passive Foreign Investment Companies. Some securities of corporations domiciled outside the U.S. which the Underlying Fund may purchase, may be considered passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs") under U.S. tax laws. PFICs are those foreign corporations which generate primarily passive income. They tend to be growth companies or "start-up" companies. For Federal tax purposes, a corporation is deemed a PFIC if 75% or more of the foreign corporation's gross income for the income year is passive income or if 50% or more of its assets are assets that produce or are held to produce passive income. Passive income is further defined as any income to be considered foreign personal holding company income within the subpart F provisions defined by Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 954.

     Investing in PFICs involves the risks associated with investing in foreign securities, as described above. There are also the risks that the Underlying Fund may not realize that a foreign corporation it invests in is a PFIC for Federal tax purposes. Federal tax laws impose severe tax penalties for failure to properly report investment income from PFICs. Following industry standards, the Underlying Fund makes every effort to ensure compliance with federal tax reporting of these investments. PFICs are considered foreign securities for the purposes of the Underlying Fund's minimum percentage requirements or limitations of investing in foreign securities.

     Subject to the limits under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"), the Underlying Fund may also invest in foreign mutual funds which are also deemed PFIC's (since nearly all of the income of a mutual fund is generally passive income). Investing in these types of PFIC's may allow exposure to various countries because some foreign countries limit, or prohibit, all direct foreign investment in the securities of companies domiciled therein.

     In addition to bearing their proportionate share of a fund's expenses (management fees and operating expenses), shareholders will also indirectly bear similar expenses of such entities. Additional risks of investing in other investment companies are described below under "Investment in Other Investment Companies."

     |X| Portfolio Turnover. The Underlying Fund's "portfolio turnover" rate is the rate at which the Underlying Fund traded portfolio securities during its most recent fiscal year. For example, if a fund sold all of its securities during a year, its portfolio turnover rate would be 100%. The Underlying Fund's portfolio turnover rate will fluctuate from year to year, and the Underlying Fund may have a portfolio turnover rate of 100% or more. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage and transaction costs for the Underlying Fund, which may reduce its overall performance. Additionally, the realization of capital gains from selling portfolio securities may result in distributions of taxable capital gains to shareholders, since the Underlying Fund will normally distribute all of its capital gains realized each year, to avoid excise taxes under the IRC. The Financial Highlights table at the end of the Prospectus shows the Underlying Fund's portfolio turnover rates during prior fiscal years.

Other Investment Techniques and Strategies. In seeking its objective, the Underlying Fund can from time to time use the types of investment strategies described below. It is not required to use all of these strategies at all times and may, at times, not use any of them.
 

|X| Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Underlying Fund can invest in securities of small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in operation for less than three years, including the operations of any predecessors. Because small, unseasoned companies may be less secure financially, they may rely on borrowing to a greater extent. In that case, they may be more susceptible to adverse changes in interest rates than larger more established companies. Small, unseasoned companies may also offer fewer products and rely on fewer key personnel. Market or economic developments may have a significant impact on these companies and on the value of their securities. These companies may have a limited trading market and the price of their securities may be volatile, which could make them difficult to sell in a short period of time at a reasonable price. These securities may be considered speculative and could increase the Underlying Fund's overall portfolio risks. The Underlying Fund currently does not intend to invest more than 5% of its net assets in securities of small, unseasoned companies.

|X| When-issued and Delayed-delivery Transactions. The Underlying Fund can purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis and can purchase or sell securities on a "delayed-delivery" basis. When-issued and delayed-delivery are purchased at a price that is fixed at the time of the transaction with payment and delivery of the security made at a later date. The Underlying Fund may purchase securities on that basis when it believes the price at the time of the transaction is lower than it anticipates the price will be at the time of delivery.

The securities are subject to change in value from market fluctuations during the period until settlement and the value of the security on the delivery date may be more or less than the Underlying Fund paid. The Underlying Fund may lose money if the value of the security declines below the purchase price. During the period between purchase and settlement, the Underlying Fund makes no payment to the issuer and no interest accrues to the Underlying Fund from the investment.

The Underlying Fund relies on the other party to complete the when-issued or delayed-delivery transaction. The Underlying Fund will bear the risk that a security purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may not be issued or may not be delivered as agreed. A failure to do so may cause the Underlying Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain the security at a price or yield the Manager considers to be advantageous.

When the Underlying Fund engages in when-issued and delayed-delivery transactions, it does so for the purpose of acquiring or selling securities consistent with its investment objective and policies or for delivery pursuant to options contracts it has entered into, and not for the purpose of investment leverage. Although the Underlying Fund will enter into delayed-delivery or when-issued purchase transactions to acquire securities, it can dispose of a commitment prior to settlement. If the Underlying Fund chooses to dispose of the right to acquire a when-issued security prior to its acquisition or to dispose of its right to receive delivery, it may incur a gain or loss.

     At the time the Underlying Fund makes the commitment to purchase or sell a security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, it records the transaction on its books and reflects the value of the security purchased in determining the Underlying Fund's net asset value. In a sale transaction, it records the proceeds to be received. When the Underlying Fund agrees to buy these types of securities, the Underlying Fund segregates liquid assets equal to the amount of the purchase commitment until the Underlying Fund pays for the investment.

When issued and delayed-delivery transactions can be used by the Underlying Fund as a defensive technique to hedge against anticipated changes in interest rates and prices. For instance, if the Underlying Fund anticipates rising interest rates or falling prices, the Underlying Fund might sell securities in its portfolio on a delayed-delivery basis to attempt to limit its exposure to those occurrences. In periods of falling interest rates and rising prices, the Underlying Fund might purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis to obtain the benefit of currently higher cash yields.

Investing in Other Investment Companies. The Underlying Fund can also invest in the securities of other investment companies, which can include open-end funds, closed-end funds and unit investment trusts. For example, the Underlying Fund can invest in exchange-traded funds, which are typically open-end funds or unit investment trusts, listed on a stock exchange. The Underlying Fund might do so as a way of gaining exposure to segments of the equity or fixed-income markets represented by the exchange-traded funds' portfolio, at times when the Underlying Fund may not be able to buy those portfolio securities directly.

Investing in another investment company may involve paying a substantial premium above the value of the investment company's portfolio securities. The Underlying Fund does not intend to invest in other investment companies unless the Manager believes that the potential benefits of an investment justify the payment of any premiums or sales charges. As a shareholder of an investment company, the Underlying Fund would be subject to its ratable share of that investment company's expenses, including its advisory and administration expenses. These investments are subject to limits set forth in the Investment Company Act and the following additional limitation: the Underlying Fund cannot invest in the securities of other registered investment companies or registered unit investment trust s in reliance on sub-paragraph (F) or (G) of section 12(d)(1) of the Investment Company Act. The Underlying Fund does not anticipate investing a substantial amount of its net assets in shares of other investment companies.

|X| Repurchase Agreements. The Underlying Fund can acquire securities subject to repurchase agreements. It may do so for liquidity purposes to meet anticipated redemptions of Underlying Fund shares, or pending the investment of the proceeds from sales of Underlying Fund shares, or pending the settlement of portfolio securities transactions or for temporary defensive purposes.

In a repurchase transaction, the Underlying Fund buys a security from, and simultaneously resells it to, an approved vendor for delivery on an agreed-upon future date. The resale price exceeds the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate effective for the period during which the repurchase agreement is in effect. Approved vendors include U.S. commercial banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks, or broker-dealers that have been designated as primary dealers in government securities. They must meet credit requirements set by the Manager from time to time.

     The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery pursuant to the resale typically occurs within one to five days after the purchase. Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are subject to the Underlying Fund's limits on holding illiquid investments. The Underlying Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement that causes more than 10% of its net assets to be subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days. There is no limit on the amount of the Underlying Fund's net assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements having maturities of seven days or less.

     Repurchase agreements are considered "loans" under the Investment Company Act and are collateralized by the underlying security. The Underlying Fund's repurchase agreements require that at all times while the repurchase agreement is in effect, the value of the collateral must equal or exceed the repurchase price to fully collateralize the repayment obligation. However, if the vendor fails to pay the repurchase price on the delivery date, the Underlying Fund may incur costs in disposing of the collateral and may experience losses if there is a delay in its ability to do so. The Manager will monitor the vendor's creditworthiness to confirm that the vendor is financially sound and will continuously monitor the collateral's value.
 

     Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Underlying Fund, along with other entities managed by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint repurchase accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. government securities. Securities that are pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each joint repurchase arrangement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention or sale of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

     |X| Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Under the policies and procedures established by the Underlying Fund's Board, the Manager determines the liquidity of the Underlying Fund's investments. Generally, an illiquid asset is an asset that cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the fund has valued the investment. Among the types of illiquid securities the Underlying Fund may invest in are repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days and participation interests that do not have puts exercisable within seven days. The Underlying Fund may also acquire restricted securities through private placements. Those securities have contractual restrictions on their public resale that might limit the Underlying Fund's ability to value or to dispose of the securities and might lower the amount the Underlying Fund could realize upon the sale.

To enable the Underlying Fund to sell its holdings of a restricted security that is not registered under applicable securities laws, the Underlying Fund may have to cause those securities to be registered. The expenses of registering restricted securities may be negotiated by the Underlying Fund with the issuer at the time the Underlying Fund buys the securities. If the Underlying Fund must arrange registration because the Underlying Fund wishes to sell the security, a considerable period may elapse between the time the decision is made to sell the security and the time the security is registered so that the Underlying Fund may sell it. The Underlying Fund would bear the risks of any downward price fluctuation during that period.

     The Underlying Fund has limitations that apply to purchases of restricted securities, as stated in the Prospectus. Those percentage restrictions do not limit purchases of restricted securities that are eligible for sale to qualified institutional purchasers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), as amended, if those securities have been determined to be liquid by the Manager under Board-approved guidelines. Those guidelines take into account the trading activity for such securities and the availability of reliable pricing information, among other factors. If there is a lack of trading interest in a particular Rule 144A security, the Underlying Fund's holdings of that security may be considered to be illiquid.

|X| Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Underlying Fund may lend its portfolio securities pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the "Securities Lending Agreement") with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs"), subject to the restrictions stated in the Prospectus. The Underlying Fund will lend portfolio securities to attempt to increase its income. Goldman Sachs has agreed, in general, to guarantee the obligations of borrowers to return loaned securities and to be responsible for certain expenses relating to securities lending. Under the Securities Lending Agreement, the Underlying Fund's securities lending procedures and applicable regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), the Underlying Fund must receive collateral from the borrower consisting of cash, bank letters of credit or securities of the U.S. government (or its agencies or instrumentalities). On each business day, the amount of collateral that the Underlying Fund has received must at least equal the value of the loaned securities. If the Underlying Fund receives cash collateral from the borrower, the Underlying Fund may invest that cash in certain high quality, short-term investments specified in its securities lending procedures. The Underlying Fund will be responsible, for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including the risk that the Underlying Fund may lose money on the investment or may fail to earn sufficient income to meet its obligations to the borrower.

The terms of the Underlying Fund's portfolio loans must comply with all applicable regulations and with the Underlying Fund's Securities Lending Procedures adopted by the Board. The terms of the loans must permit the Underlying Fund to recall loaned securities on five business days' notice and the Underlying Fund will seek to recall loaned securities in time to vote on any matters that the Manager determines would have a material effect on the Underlying Fund's investment. The Securities Lending Agreement may be terminated by either Goldman Sachs or the Underlying Fund on 30 days' written notice.

o     Derivatives and Hedging. The Underlying Fund can invest in a variety of derivative investments to seek income or capital gains or for hedging purposes. Some of the derivatives and hedging instruments that the Underlying Fund may use are:

o     futures

o     put and call options

o     currency options

o     options on futures

o     forward contracts

o     indexed securities

o     interest rate swaps

o     swaptions

The Underlying Fund can use derivatives to attempt to hedge against declines in the market value of securities in the Underlying Fund's portfolio, to preserve unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities that have appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons. The Underlying Fund can also use derivatives to establish a position in the securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing particular securities or to seek to benefit from an anticipated rise in their market value. In that case, the Underlying Fund would normally purchase the securities and then terminate the derivative position.

The Underlying Fund is not obligated to use hedging, even though it is permitted to, as described below. The Underlying Fund can employ other derivatives or hedging instruments and strategies, including new one that are developed, if those investments or strategies are consistent with the Underlying Fund's investment objective and are permissible under applicable regulations governing the Underlying Fund. The Underlying Fund's hedging strategies are intended to reduce losses but they may also cause losses or limit gains if the hedging instrument or strategy does not perform in the way that the Underlying Fund anticipates. The Underlying Fund does not currently anticipate using derivatives or hedging to a significant degree and is not obligated to use them in seeking its objective.

     |_| Futures. The Underlying Fund can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to (1) broadly-based stock indices ("stock index futures") (2) debt securities ("interest rate futures"), (3) other broadly-based securities indices ("financial futures"), (4) an individual stock ("single stock futures") or (5) commodities ("commodity futures").

     The Underlying Fund may use futures for hedging and non-hedging purposes to the extent consistent with its investment objective, internal risk management guidelines adopted by the Manager (as they may be amended from time to time), and as otherwise set forth in the Underlying Fund's prospectus or SAI.

Stock Index Futures. A broadly-based stock index is used as the basis for trading stock index futures. In some cases an index may be based on stocks of issuers in a particular industry or group of industries. The seller of a stock index is obligated to pay cash to settle the transaction, based on the fluctuation of the index's value in response to the changes in the relative values of the underlying stocks that are included in the index. A stock index cannot be purchased or sold directly.

Interest Rate Futures. An interest rate future obligates the seller to deliver cash or a specified type of debt security to settle the futures transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting contract to close out the position.

Financial Futures. Financial futures are based on the future value of the basket of securities that comprise an index. These contracts obligate the seller to pay cash to settle the futures transaction. No delivery of the underlying securities is made to settle the futures obligation. Either party may also settle the transaction by entering into an offsetting contract.

Single Stock Futures. A single stock future obligates the seller to deliver cash or a specified equity security to settle the transaction. Either party may also enter into an offsetting contract to close out the position. Single stock futures trade on a very limited number of exchanges, and contracts are typically not transferable between the exchanges.

Commodity Futures. Commodity futures may be based upon commodities within five main commodity groups: (1) energy, which includes crude oil, natural gas, gasoline and heating oil; (2) livestock, which includes cattle and hogs; (3) agriculture, which includes wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, coffee, sugar and cocoa; (4) industrial metals, which includes aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin and zinc; and (5) precious metals, which include gold, platinum and silver. The Underlying Fund can purchase and sell commodity futures contracts, options on futures contracts and options and futures on commodity indices with respect to these five main commodity groups and the individual commodities within each group, as well as other types of commodities.

These futures transactions are effected through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange on which the contracts are traded. No money is paid or received by the Underlying Fund on the purchase or sale of a future. Upon entering into a futures transaction, the Underlying Fund will be required to deposit an initial margin payment for the futures commission merchant (the "futures broker"). The initial margin payment will be deposited with the Underlying Fund's custodian bank in an account, registered in the futures broker's name, that the futures broker can gain access to only under specified conditions. As the future is marked to market (that is, its value on the Underlying Fund's books is changed to reflect changes in its market value), subsequent margin payments, called variation margin, will be paid to or from the futures broker daily.

At any time prior to expiration of the future, the Underlying Fund may elect to close out its position, at which time a final determination of variation margin is made and any cash in the margin account must be paid by or released to the Underlying Fund. The Underlying Fund will then realize any loss or gain on the futures transaction for tax purposes.

     |_| Put and Call Options. The Underlying Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of put and call options. Put options ("puts") give the holder the right to sell an asset for an agreed upon price. Call options ("calls") give the holder the right to buy an asset at an agreed upon price. The Underlying Fund can buy and sell exchange-traded and over-the-counter put and call options, including securities options, index options, currency options, commodities options, and options on the types of futures described above. The Underlying Fund may use options for hedging and non-hedging purposes to the extent consistent with its investment objective, internal risk management guidelines adopted by the Underlying Fund's investment advisor (as they may be amended from time to time), and as otherwise set forth in the Underlying Fund's prospectus or this SAI. Up to 25% of the Underlying Fund's total assets can be subject to call options the Underlying Fund sells. The Underlying Fund will not sell put options if more than 25% of the Underlying Fund's total assets would be required to be segregated to cover such options. The Underlying Fund can buy a put or call option only if, after the purchase, the value of all call and put options held by the Underlying Fund will not exceed 5% of the Underlying Fund's total assets.

     |_| Writing Covered Call Options. The Underlying Fund can sell covered call options. If the Underlying Fund sells a call option, it must be covered. That means that while the call is outstanding, the Underlying Fund must own the security subject to the call or, for certain types of calls, the call option may be covered by segregating liquid assets on the Underlying Fund's books that would enable the Underlying Fund to satisfy its obligations if the call were exercised.

     When the Underlying Fund sells a call on a security, it receives a payment in cash (a premium). The Underlying Fund agrees to sell the underlying security to the purchaser during the call period at a fixed price (the "exercise price") regardless of market price changes during the call period. The call period is usually not more than nine months. The exercise price may be different from the price of the security at the time the call is sold. The Underlying Fund bears the risk that the price of the underlying security may increase during the call period, requiring it to sell the security for less than its market value. That risk may be offset to some extent by the premium the Underlying Fund receives. If the market value of the security does not rise above the exercise price during the call period, the call generally will not be exercised. In that case the Underlying Fund retains both the cash premium and the underlying security.

     When the Underlying Fund sells a call on an index, it receives a payment in cash (a premium). If the buyer of the call option exercises it, the Underlying Fund will pay an amount equal to the difference between the market value of the index and the exercise price, multiplied by a specified factor. If the value of the underlying index does not rise above the call price, it is unlikely that the call will be exercised. In that case the Underlying Fund would keep the cash premium without being obligated to make any payments to the purchaser of the call.

With respect to the investments on which the Underlying Fund has sold calls traded on exchanges or on other acceptable escrow securities, the Underlying Fund's custodian bank, or a securities depository acting for the custodian bank, will act as the Underlying Fund's escrow agent, through the facilities of the Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC"). OCC will release the securities on the expiration of the option or when the Underlying Fund enters into a closing transaction. No margin will be required for those transactions.

When the Underlying Fund sells an over-the-counter ("OTC") option, it will enter into an arrangement with a securities dealer which will establish a formula price at which the Underlying Fund will have the absolute right to repurchase that OTC option. The formula price will generally be based on a multiple of the premium received for the option, plus the amount by which the option is exercisable below the market price of the underlying security (that is, the amount that the option is "in the money"). When the Underlying Fund writes an OTC option, it will treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on holding illiquid securities) the mark-to-market value of any OTC option it holds, unless the option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker. To terminate its obligation on an OTC call it has written, the Underlying Fund can purchase a corresponding call in a "closing purchase transaction." If the Underlying Fund cannot effect a closing purchase transaction due to the lack of a market, it will have to hold the callable securities until the call expires or is exercised. The Underlying Fund will realize a profit or loss, depending upon whether the premium received on the call is more or less than the amount of the option transaction costs and the price of the call the Underlying Fund purchases to close out the transaction. The Underlying Fund may realize a profit if the call expires unexercised, because the Underlying Fund will retain both the underlying security and the premium it received when it wrote the call. Any such profits are considered short-term capital gains for Federal income tax purposes and are taxable as ordinary income when distributed by the Underlying Fund.

     

Writing Put Options. The Underlying Fund can also sell (write) put options. A put option on a security gives the purchaser the right, during the option period, to sell the security to the buyer at the exercise price. When selling a put option on a security, the option must be covered by segregating liquid assets on the Underlying Fund's books with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the underlying security, to secure its obligation. In that case the Underlying Fund forgoes the opportunity to invest the segregated assets or write calls against those assets.


During the option period, the Underlying Fund is obligated to buy the underlying investment at the exercise price even if the market value of the investment falls below that price. The Underlying Fund has no control over when it may be required to purchase the underlying security, since it may be exercised at any time prior to the expiration of the put. The Underlying Fund may terminate a put option that it has sold if, before it receives an exercise notice, the Underlying Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction by purchasing a put of the same series as the one that it sold. The Underlying Fund may decide to effect a closing purchase transaction to realize a profit on an outstanding put option it has written or to prevent the underlying security from being put. Effecting a closing purchase transaction would permit the Underlying Fund to write another put option on the underlying security, or to sell the security and use the proceeds from the sale for other investments. The Underlying Fund cannot effect a closing purchase transaction once an exercise notice has been assigned.
If, during the option period, the price of the underlying investment remains higher than the exercise price, it is unlikely that a put option would be exercised. If a put option the Underlying
Fund sold is not exercised, the Underlying Fund would realize a gain of the amount of the premium less the transaction costs incurred. If the put is exercised, the exercise price will usually exceed the market value of the underlying investment at that time. In that case, the Underlying Fund would incur a loss. If the Underlying Fund sells the underlying investment at that time, the loss would be equal to the exercise price and any transaction costs the Underlying Fund incurred minus the amount of the premium and the amount the Underlying Fund received from the sale of the underlying investment. Any profits from writing put options are considered short-term capital gains for federal tax purposes, and when distributed by the Underlying Fund, are taxable as ordinary income.

     

Purchasing Call Options. The Underlying Fund can purchase call options to seek to benefit from an anticipated rise in a particular security or in the securities market. When the Underlying Fund buys a call, it pays a premium. The Underlying Fund then has the right to buy the underlying investment during the call period at a fixed exercise price. The Underlying Fund benefits only if, during the call period, the Underlying Fund exercises the call and the market price of the underlying investment rises above the total amount of the call price plus the transaction costs and the premium paid for the call or if The Underlying Fund resells the call at a profit. If the Underlying Fund does not exercise the call or resell it (whether or not at a profit), the call becomes worthless on its expiration date. In that case the Underlying Fund will have lost the amount it paid as a premium and not realized any gain on the transaction.


When the Underlying Fund purchases a call or put on an index, it pays a premium, but settlement is in cash rather than by delivery of the underlying investment. The Underlying Fund's gain or loss on the transaction would depend on changes in the index in question, which in turn would depend on price movements in the particular securities market generally.

     

Purchasing Put Options. The Underlying Fund can buy put options whether or not it holds the underlying investment in its portfolio. When the Underlying Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium and, except for puts on indices, has the right to sell the underlying investment at a fixed exercise price during the put period. The Underlying Fund may buy a put on securities or futures it owns to attempt to protect itself against a decline a decline (below the exercise price) in the value of the underlying investment during the put period. If, because the market price of the underlying investment remains above or equal to the exercise price, the put is not exercised or resold, it becomes worthless on the expiration date. In that case the Underlying Fund will have lost the amount it paid as a premium and not realized any benefit from the right to sell the underlying investment. If the Underlying Fund resells the put prior to its expiration, it may or may not realize a profit on that resale.


The Underlying Fund may also buy a put on an investment it does not own. That would permit the Underlying Fund to resell the put or to buy the underlying investment and sell it at the exercise price. If the market price of the underlying investment remains above or equal to the exercise price, the put would not exercised and would become worthless on its expiration date.

     

Put and Call Options on Futures. The Underlying Fund may sell calls on a futures contract without owning the futures contract or securities deliverable under the contract. To do so, at the time the call is sold, the Underlying Fund must cover the call by segregating an equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets on the Underlying Fund's books. The Underlying Fund will segregate additional liquid assets on its books if the value of the segregated assets drop below 100% of the current market value of the future. Because of this segregation requirement, the Underlying Fund's receipt of an exercise notice would not require the Underlying Fund to deliver the futures contract under any circumstances would. It would, however, put the Underlying Fund in a short futures position, which is permitted under the Underlying Fund's hedging policies.


The Underlying Fund may buy a put option on a future it owns to attempt to protect itself against a decline (below the exercise price) in the value of the underlying investment during the put period. If, because the market price of the underlying investment remains above or equal to the exercise price, the put is not exercised or resold, it becomes worthless on the expiration date. In that case the Underlying Fund will have lost the amount it paid as a premium and not realized any benefit from the right to sell the underlying investment. If the Underlying Fund resells the put prior to its expiration, it may or may not realize a profit on that resale.
The Underlying
Fund may also buy a put option on a future the Underlying Fund does not own. That would permit the Underlying Fund to resell the put or to buy the underlying investment and sell it at the exercise price. If the market price of the underlying investment is above the exercise price and, as a result, the put is not exercised, the put will become worthless on its expiration date.

When the Underlying Fund buys a call or put option on a future, but settlement is generally in cash rather than by delivery of the future or the underlying investment. The Underlying Fund's gain or loss on the transaction would depend on changes in the underlying future in question, which in turn may depend on price movements in the particular underlying investment or in the futures markets generally.

     

Buying and Selling Options on Foreign Currencies. The Underlying Fund may buy and sell put and call options on foreign currencies. They include puts and calls that trade on a securities or commodities exchange or in the over-the-counter markets or that are quoted by major recognized dealers in such options. The Underlying Fund may use these call and put options to try to protect against declines in the U.S. dollar value of foreign securities the Underlying Fund owns and increases in the dollar cost of foreign securities the Underlying Fund anticipates buying.


If the value of a foreign currency rises against the U.S. dollar, the cost of securities denominated in that currency would increase. The increased cost of those securities may be partially offset by purchasing calls or writing puts on the foreign currency. If the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar falls, the dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in that currency would decline. That decline might be partially offset by writing calls or purchasing puts on the foreign currency. The currency rates could fluctuate in a direction adverse to the Underlying Fund's position, however. The Underlying Fund would then have incurred option premium payments and transaction costs without a corresponding benefit.

The Underlying Fund could sell a call on a foreign currency to provide a hedge against a decline in the U.S. dollar value of a security which the Underlying Fund owns or has the right to acquire that is denominated in that currency or in a different currency (known as a "cross-hedging" strategy). A call the Underlying Fund sells on a foreign currency is "covered" if the Underlying Fund owns the underlying foreign currency covered by the call or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire that foreign currency without additional cash consideration upon conversion or exchange of other foreign currency held in its portfolio. The Underlying Fund may also cover the option by maintaining cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid, high-grade debt securities in an amount equal to the exercise price of the option, in a segregated account with the Underlying Fund's custodian bank.

o     Risks of Hedging with Options and Futures. The use of hedging instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than those required for normal portfolio management. The risks of using options and futures include the following:

Selection Risk. If the Manager uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, or if the prices of its futures and options positions are not correlated with its other investments, the Underlying Fund's hedging strategies may reduce the its return or cause losses. If the Underlying Fund has sold a covered call option on an investment that has increased in value, when that call is exercised the Underlying Fund will not be able to realize any of the investment's value above the call price. If the Underlying Fund uses hedging instruments to establish a position in the securities markets as a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual securities, the market might decline unexpectedly. If the Underlying Fund does not to invest in the securities, because of concerns that the market might decline further or for other reasons, the Underlying Fund will realize a loss on the hedging instruments that is not offset by a reduction in the price of the securities it planned to purchase.

Liquidity Risk. The Underlying Fund might experience losses if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid market for the future or option. An option position may be closed out only on a market that provides secondary trading for options of the same series, and there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option.

Leverage Risk Premiums paid for options are small compared to the market value of the underlying investments. Consequently, put and call options may involve large amounts of leverage, which could result in the Underlying Fund's net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying investments.

Correlation Risk. If the Underlying Fund sells futures or purchases puts on broadly-based indices or futures to attempt to protect against declines in the value of the Underlying Fund's portfolio securities, it may be subject to the risk that the prices of the futures or the applicable index will not correlate with the prices of those portfolio securities. For example, the market might rise and the value of the Underlying Fund's portfolio securities might decline. In that case, the Underlying Fund would lose money on the hedging instruments and also experience a decline in the value of its portfolio securities. Over time, however, the value of a diversified portfolio of securities will tend to move in the same direction as the indices upon which related hedging instruments are based.
The risk of imperfect correlation increases as the composition of the Underlying
Fund's portfolio diverges from the securities included in the applicable index. To compensate for the imperfect correlation of movements in the price of the portfolio securities being hedged and movements in the price of the hedging instruments, the Underlying Fund might use hedging instruments in a greater dollar amount than the dollar amount of portfolio securities being hedged. It might do so if the historical volatility of the prices of the portfolio securities being hedged is more than the historical volatility of the applicable index.

Futures Market Risk. The ordinary differences between prices in the cash markets and the futures markets are subject to distortions, due to differences in the nature of those markets.

     

Participants in the futures market are subject to margin deposit and maintenance requirements that may cause investors to close futures contracts through offsetting transactions, distorting the normal market relationships.


     

The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity in the futures market could be reduced, thus producing distortion.

     

Speculators may consider the deposit requirements in the futures market are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities markets. Therefore, increased participation by speculators in the futures market may cause price distortions.


Transaction Costs. The Underlying Fund's option activities might also affect its portfolio turnover rate and brokerage commissions. The Underlying Fund's portfolio turnover rate might increase if it is required to sell portfolio securities that are subject to calls options it has sold or if it exercises puts options it has bought. Although the decision whether to exercise a put it holds is within the Underlying Fund's control, holding a put might create an additional reason to purchase a security.
The Underlying
Fund may pay a brokerage commission each time it buys or sells a put or call option. Those commissions may be higher on a relative basis than the commissions for direct purchases or sales of the underlying investments. The Underlying Fund may also pay a brokerage commission each time it buys or sells an underlying investment in connection with the exercise of a put or call.

|_| Forward Contracts. Forward contracts are foreign currency exchange contracts that are used to buy or sell foreign currency for future delivery at a fixed price. The Underlying Fund uses them to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of a security denominated in a foreign currency that the Underlying Fund has bought or sold, or to protect against possible losses from changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar against a foreign currency.

Forward Contract Strategies. Under a forward contract, the Underlying Fund agrees to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties. The transaction price is set at the time the contract is entered into. The costs to the Underlying Fund of engaging in forward contracts varies with factors such as the currencies involved, the length of the contract period and the market conditions then prevailing.

The Underlying Fund might enter into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency, or when it anticipates receiving dividend payments in a foreign currency. This is called a "transaction hedge." The transaction hedge will protect the Underlying Fund against a loss from an adverse change in the currency exchange rates during the period between the date on which the security is purchased or sold or on which the payment is declared, and the date on which the payments are made or received. The use of forward contracts does not eliminate the risk of fluctuations in the prices of the underlying securities the Underlying Fund owns or intends to acquire, but it does fix a rate of exchange in advance.

If the Underlying Fund believes that foreign currency might suffer a substantial decline against the U.S. dollar, the Underlying Fund could use forward contracts to lock in the U.S. dollar value of portfolio positions. This is called a "position hedge." If the Underlying Fund believes that the U.S. dollar may suffer a substantial decline against a foreign currency, it could enter into a forward contract to buy that foreign currency for a fixed dollar amount. Alternatively, the Underlying Fund could enter into a forward contract to sell a different foreign currency the Underlying Fund believes will fall whenever there is a decline in the U.S. dollar value of the currency in which portfolio securities of the Underlying Fund are denominated.
In some cases, at or before the maturity of a forward contract, the Underlying
Fund might sell a portfolio security and use the sale proceeds to make delivery of the currency. If the market value of the security is less than the amount of foreign currency the Underlying Fund is obligated to deliver, the Underlying Fund might have to purchase additional foreign currency on the "spot" (that is, cash) market to settle the security trade. If the market value of the security instead exceeds the amount of foreign currency the Underlying Fund is obligated to deliver to settle the trade, the Underlying Fund might have to sell on the spot market some of the foreign currency received upon the sale of the security. There will be additional transaction costs on the spot market in those cases.
Alternatively the Underlying
Fund might retain the security and offset its contractual obligation to deliver the currency by purchasing a second contract. Under that contract the Underlying Fund will obtain, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the currency that it is obligated to deliver. Similarly, the Underlying Fund might close out a forward contract requiring it to purchase a specified currency by entering into a second contract entitling it to sell the same amount of the same currency on the maturity date of the first contract. The Underlying Fund would realize a gain or loss as a result of entering into such an offsetting forward contract under either circumstance. The gain or loss will depend on the extent to which the exchange rate or rates between the currencies involved moved between the execution dates of the first contract and offsetting contract.

Forward Contract Limitations. The Underlying Fund will not enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts if the consummation of the contracts would obligate the Underlying Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the Underlying Fund's portfolio securities or other assets denominated in that currency (or another currency that is the subject of the hedge). However, the Underlying Fund can maintain a net exposure to forward contracts in excess of the value of the Underlying Fund's portfolio securities or other assets denominated in foreign currencies if the excess amount is "covered" by liquid securities denominated in any currency. As one alternative, the Underlying Fund can purchase a call option permitting the Underlying Fund to purchase the amount of foreign currency being hedged by a forward sale contract at a price no higher than the forward contract price. As another alternative, the Underlying Fund can purchase a put option permitting the Underlying Fund to sell the amount of foreign currency subject to a forward purchase contract at a price as high or higher than the forward contact price. The Underlying Fund may also cover its short positions by segregating assets equal to the aggregate amount of the Underlying Fund's commitment under forward contracts or the excess amount of those obligations.

Forward Contract Risks. The projection of short-term currency market movements is extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain. The precise matching of the amounts under forward contracts and the value of the securities involved generally will not be possible because the future value of securities denominated in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements between the date the forward contract is entered into and the date it is sold. Forward contracts involve the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, causing the Underlying Fund to sustain losses on these contracts and to pay additional transactions costs. The use of forward contracts in this manner might reduce the Underlying Fund's performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency prices to a greater degree than if the Underlying Fund had not entered into such contracts.

Forward Contact Costs. Because forward contracts are usually entered into on a principal basis, no brokerage fees or commissions are involved. Foreign exchange dealers do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they buy and sell various currencies. Thus, a dealer might offer to sell a foreign currency to the Underlying Fund at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange if the Underlying Fund desires to resell that currency to the dealer. Because these contracts are not traded on an exchange, the Underlying Fund must evaluate the credit and performance risk of the counterparty under each forward contract.

o     Risks of Hedging with Options and Futures. The use of hedging instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than those required for normal portfolio management. The risks of using options and futures include the following:

Selection Risk. If the Manager uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, or if the prices of its futures and options positions are not correlated with its other investments, the Underlying Fund's hedging strategies may reduce the its return or cause losses. If the Underlying Fund has sold a covered call option on an investment that has increased in value, when that call is exercised the Underlying Fund will not be able to realize any of the investment's value above the call price. If the Underlying Fund uses hedging instruments to establish a position in the securities markets as a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual securities, the market might decline unexpectedly. If the Underlying Fund does not to invest in the securities, because of concerns that the market might decline further or for other reasons, the Underlying Fund will realize a loss on the hedging instruments that is not offset by a reduction in the price of the securities it planned to purchase.

Liquidity Risk. The Underlying Fund might experience losses if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid market for the future or option. An option position may be closed out only on a market that provides secondary trading for options of the same series, and there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option.

Leverage Risk Premiums paid for options are small compared to the market value of the underlying investments. Consequently, put and call options may involve large amounts of leverage, which could result in the Underlying Fund's net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying investments.

Correlation Risk. If the Underlying Fund sells futures or purchases puts on broadly-based indices or futures to attempt to protect against declines in the value of the Underlying Fund's portfolio securities, it may be subject to the risk that the prices of the futures or the applicable index will not correlate with the prices of those portfolio securities. For example, the market might rise and the value of the Underlying Fund's portfolio securities might decline. In that case, the Underlying Fund would lose money on the hedging instruments and also experience a decline in the value of its portfolio securities. Over time, however, the value of a diversified portfolio of securities will tend to move in the same direction as the indices upon which related hedging instruments are based.

The risk of imperfect correlation increases as the composition of the Underlying Fund's portfolio diverges from the securities included in the applicable index. To compensate for the imperfect correlation of movements in the price of the portfolio securities being hedged and movements in the price of the hedging instruments, the Underlying Fund might use hedging instruments in a greater dollar amount than the dollar amount of portfolio securities being hedged. It might do so if the historical volatility of the prices of the portfolio securities being hedged is more than the historical volatility of the applicable index.

Futures Market Risk. The ordinary differences between prices in the cash markets and the futures markets are subject to distortions, due to differences in the nature of those markets.

     

Participants in the futures market are subject to margin deposit and maintenance requirements that may cause investors to close futures contracts through offsetting transactions, distorting the normal market relationships.


     

The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity in the futures market could be reduced, thus producing distortion.

     

Speculators may consider the deposit requirements in the futures market are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities markets. Therefore, increased participation by speculators in the futures market may cause price distortions.


Transaction Costs. The Underlying Fund's option activities might also affect its portfolio turnover rate and brokerage commissions. The Underlying Fund's portfolio turnover rate might increase if it is required to sell portfolio securities that are subject to calls options it has sold or if it exercises puts options it has bought. Although the decision whether to exercise a put it holds is within the Underlying Fund's control, holding a put might create an additional reason to purchase a security.
The Underlying
Fund may pay a brokerage commission each time it buys or sells a or put or call option. Those commissions may be higher on a relative basis than the commissions for direct purchases or sales of the underlying investments. The Underlying Fund may also pay a brokerage commission each time it buys or sells an underlying investment in connection with the exercise of a put or call.

|_| Interest Rate Swap Transactions. The Underlying Fund can enter into interest rate swap agreements. In an interest rate swap, the Underlying Fund and another party exchange their rights to receive interest payments on a security. For example, they might swap the right to receive floating rate payments for the right to receive for fixed rate payments.

Swap agreements entail both interest rate risk and credit risk. There is a risk that, based on movements of interest rates in the future, the payments made by the Underlying Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments it receives. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty might default. If the counterparty defaults, the Underlying Fund may lose the net amount of contractual interest payments that the Underlying Fund has not yet received. The Manager will monitor the creditworthiness of counterparties to the Underlying Fund's interest rate swap transactions on an ongoing basis.

The Underlying Fund can enter into swap transactions with certain counterparties pursuant to master netting agreements. A master netting agreement provides that all swaps done between the Underlying Fund and that counterparty shall be regarded as parts of an integral agreement. On any date, amounts payable in the same currency to or from the Underlying Fund in respect to one or more swap transactions, will be combined and the Underlying Fund will receive or be obligated to pay the net amount.

The master netting agreement may also provide that if a counterparty defaults on one swap, the Underlying Fund can terminate all of the swaps with that counterparty. The gains and losses on all swaps are netted, and the result is the counterparty's gain or loss on termination. The termination of all swaps and the netting of gains and losses on termination are generally referred to as "aggregation."

The Underlying Fund can enter into swap transactions only on securities that it owns. The Underlying Fund will not enter into swaps with respect to more than 25% of its total assets. Also, the Underlying Fund will segregate liquid assets on its books to cover any amounts it may owe under swaps that exceed the amounts it is entitled to receive, and it will adjust that amount daily, as needed.

|_| Regulatory Aspects of Derivatives and Hedging Instruments. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") has eliminated limitations on futures trading by certain regulated entities including registered investment companies. Consequently, registered investment companies may engage in unlimited futures transactions and options thereon provided that the Underlying Fund claims an exclusion from regulation as a commodity pool operator. The Underlying Fund has claimed such an exclusion from registration as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA").

Transactions in options by the Underlying Fund are subject to limitations established by the option exchanges. The exchanges limit the maximum number of options that may be written or held by a single investor or group of investors acting in concert. Those limits apply regardless of whether the options were purchased, sold or held through one or more different exchanges or are held in one or more accounts or through one or more brokers. Thus, the number of options that the Underlying Fund can sell may be affected by options written or held by other entities, including other investment companies. The exchanges also impose position limits on futures transactions. An exchange may order the liquidation of positions found to be in violation of those limits and may impose certain other sanctions.

Under interpretations of the staff of the SEC regarding applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act, when the Underlying Fund purchases a future, it must maintain cash or readily marketable short-term debt instruments in an amount equal to the purchase price of the future, less the margin deposit applicable to it.

|_| Tax Aspects of Certain Derivatives and Hedging Instruments. Certain foreign currency exchange contracts in which the Underlying Fund may invest are treated as "Section 1256 contracts" under the IRC. In general, gains or losses relating to Section 1256 contracts are characterized as 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gains or losses under the Code. However, foreign currency gains or losses arising from Section 1256 contracts that are forward contracts generally are treated as ordinary income or loss. In addition, Section 1256 contracts held by the Underlying Fund at the end of each taxable year are "marked-to-market," and unrealized gains or losses are treated as though they were realized. These contracts also may be marked-to-market for purposes of determining the excise tax applicable to investment company distributions and for other purposes under rules prescribed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. An election can be made by the Underlying Fund to exempt those transactions from this marked-to-market treatment.

Certain forward contracts the Underlying Fund enters into may result in "straddles" for Federal income tax purposes. The straddle rules may affect the character and timing of gains (or losses) recognized by the Underlying Fund on straddle positions. Generally, a loss sustained on the disposition of a position making up a straddle is allowed only to the extent that the loss exceeds any unrecognized gain in the offsetting positions. Disallowed loss is generally allowed at the point where there is no unrecognized gain in the offsetting positions making up the straddle, or the offsetting position is disposed of.

Under the IRC, the following gains or losses are treated as ordinary income or loss:

(1)     

gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates that occur between the time the Underlying Fund accrues interest or other receivables or accrues expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time the Underlying Fund actually collects such receivables or pays such liabilities, and


(2)     

gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of a foreign currency between the date of acquisition of a debt security denominated in a foreign currency or foreign currency forward contracts and the date of disposition.


     Currency gains and losses are offset against market gains and losses on each trade before determining a net "Section 988" gain or loss under the IRC for that trade, which may increase or decrease the amount of the Underlying Fund's investment income available for distribution to its shareholders.

     |X| Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. In times of unstable or adverse market, economic or political conditions, or the Manager believes it is otherwise appropriate to reduce holdings in the Underlying Fund's principal investments, the Underlying Fund can invest in other types of securities for defensive purposes. The Underlying Fund can also purchase these types of securities for liquidity purposes to meet cash needs due to the redemption of Fund shares, or to hold while waiting to reinvest cash received from the sale of other portfolio securities. The Underlying Fund's temporary defensive investments can include (i) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities; (ii) commercial paper rated in the highest category by an established rating organization; (iii) certificates of deposit or bankers' acceptances of domestic banks with assets of $1 billion or more; (iv) any of the foregoing securities that mature in one year or less (generally known as "cash equivalents"); (v) other short-term corporate debt obligations; (vi) repurchase agreements; and (vii) shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

Investment Restrictions

     |X| What Are "Fundamental Policies?" The Underlying Fund has adopted policies and restrictions to govern its investments. Under the Investment Company Act, fundamental policies are those policies that can be changed only by the vote of a "majority" of the Underlying Fund's outstanding voting securities, which is defined as the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

o     67% or more of the shares present or represented by proxy at a shareholder meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or

o     more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

     The Underlying Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other policies described in the Underlying Fund's Prospectus or its Statement of Additional Information are "fundamental" only if they are identified as such. The Underlying Fund's Board of Directors can change non-fundamental policies without shareholder approval. However, significant changes to investment policies will be described in supplements or updates to the Underlying Fund's Prospectus or SAI, as appropriate.

Other Fundamental Investment Restrictions. The following investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Underlying Fund.

o     The Underlying Fund cannot buy securities issued or guaranteed by any one issuer if more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or it would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting securities. This limit applies to 75% of the Underlying Fund's total assets. The limit does not apply to securities issued by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies.

o     The Underlying Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed). The Underlying Fund may borrow only from banks and/or affiliated investment companies. With respect to this fundamental policy, the Underlying Fund can borrow only if it maintains a 300% ratio of assets to borrowings at all times in the manner set forth in the Investment Company Act.

o     The Underlying Fund cannot issue "senior securities," but this does not prohibit certain investment activities for which assets of the Underlying Fund are designated as segregated, or margin, collateral or escrow arrangements are established, to cover the related obligations. Examples of those activities include borrowing money, reverse repurchase agreements, delayed-delivery and when-issued arrangements for portfolio securities transactions, and contracts to buy or sell derivatives, hedging instruments, options or futures.

o     The Underlying Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies. A permitted exception is in case it is deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act when reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.

o     The Underlying Fund cannot concentrate investments. That means it cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any industry. However, there is no limitation on investments in U.S. Government securities.

o     The Underlying Fund cannot invest in real estate or in interests in real estate. However, the Underlying Fund can purchase securities of issuers holding real estate or interests in real estate (including securities of real estate investment trusts).

o     The Underlying Fund cannot invest in commodities. However, the Underlying Fund can buy and sell any of the hedging instruments permitted by any of its other policies. It does not matter if the hedging instrument is considered to be a commodity or commodity contract.

o     The Underlying Fund cannot make loans except (a) through lending of securities, (b) through the purchase of debt instruments or similar evidences of indebtedness, (c) through an interfund lending program with other affiliated funds, and (d) through repurchase agreements.

Unless the Prospectus or this SAI states that a percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at the time the Underlying Fund makes an investment. That means the Underlying Fund is not required to sell securities to meet the percentage limits if the value of the investment increases in proportion to the size of the Underlying Fund. Percentage limits on borrowing and investments in illiquid securities apply on an ongoing basis.

Non-Fundamental Restrictions. The Underlying Fund has the following additional operating policies that are not "fundamental" and can be changed by the Board of Directors without shareholder approval.

o     The Underlying Fund cannot invest in the securities of other registered investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on sub-paragraph (F) or (G) of Section 12(d)(1) of the Investment Company Act.

o     For purposes of the Underlying Fund's policy not to concentrate its investments, described above, the Underlying Fund has adopted an industry classification that is not a fundamental policy.

1 In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term "Independent Trustees" in this Statement of Additional Information refers to those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund and who do not have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the distribution plan or any agreement under the plan.

2 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund.

3 In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to contingent deferred sales charges mean the Fund's Early Withdrawal Charges and references to "redemptions" mean "repurchases" of shares.

4 An "employee benefit plan" means any plan or arrangement, whether or not it is "qualified" under the Internal Revenue Code, under which Class N shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a fiduciary or other administrator for the account of participants who are employees of a single employer or of affiliated employers. These may include, for example, medical savings accounts, payroll deduction plans or similar plans. The fund accounts must be registered in the name of the fiduciary or administrator purchasing the shares for the benefit of participants in the plan.

5 The term "Group Retirement Plan" means any qualified or non-qualified retirement plan for employees of a corporation or sole proprietorship, members and employees of a partnership or association or other organized group of persons (the members of which may include other groups), if the group has made special arrangements with the Distributor and all members of the group participating in (or who are eligible to participate in) the plan purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution designated by the group. Such plans include 457 plans, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and 403(b) plans other than plans for public school employees. The term "Group Retirement Plan" also includes qualified retirement plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans and IRAs that purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution that has made special arrangements with the Distributor.

6 However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts of $1 million or more (including any right of accumulation) by a Retirement Plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more than one year.

7 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

8 This provision only applies to qualified retirement plans and 403(b)(7) custodial plans after your separation from service in or after the year you reached age 55.

9 The distribution must be requested prior to Plan termination or the elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment option under the Plan.

10 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

11 This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans and loans from the OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single K retirement plan.

12 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.
