(a) Investment Objective.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy and can be changed without shareholder approval.
 

(b) Implementation of Investment Objective.

The Fund invests mainly in common stocks of companies believed by the Fund's investment manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”), to be undervalued, and that are domiciled outside the United States or have their primary operations outside the United States.
 
The Fund does not limit its investments to issuers within a specific market capitalization range. At times, the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in a particular capitalization range. For example, the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in stocks issued by small- and mid-sized companies.

The Fund can invest in emerging markets as well as developed markets throughout the world, although it may place greater emphasis on investing in one or more particular regions from time to time, such as Europe or Asia. It can invest 100% of its assets in foreign securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in common and preferred stock of issuers in at least five different countries outside the United States.
 
The foreign securities the Fund can buy include securities of companies organized under the laws of a foreign country or companies that have more than 50% of their operations or assets abroad, or derive more than 50% of their revenue or profits from businesses, investments or sales outside the United States. Foreign securities include securities traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges or in foreign over-the-counter markets. The Fund considers securities of foreign issuers that are represented in the U.S. securities markets by American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”) or similar depository arrangements to be “foreign securities” for purposes of its investment allocations.
 

In selecting securities for the Fund, the Manager evaluates investment opportunities on a company-by-company basis. The portfolio manager looks primarily for foreign companies using a value criteria and a “bottom up” investment approach – that is, analyzing individual stocks before considering the impact of general or industry economic trends. The portfolio manager’s value criteria entails estimating a company’s fair value and comparing the estimated fair value to the company’s stock price. This approach includes fundamental analysis of a company’s financial statements, profitability, and management structure. It also includes analysis of the company’s operations, business strategy, product development, and competitive positioning, as well as the industry and sector of which the issuer is part. The portfolio manager monitors individual issuers for changes in the factors above that may lead to a decision to sell a security. The portfolio manager may also sell a security if its share price meets the portfolio manager’s targeted price, or if the portfolio manager determines that a new or better investment idea has emerged.

In addition to investments in stocks, the Fund may use certain other investments and investment strategies described further below and in the Statement of Additional Information. The Manager might not always use all of these different types of investments and strategies. The allocation of the Fund’s portfolio among the different types of permitted investments will vary over time based upon the Manager’s evaluation of economic and market trends.
 

Other Strategies.

Other Equity Investments. The Fund can invest in equity securities other than common stocks, including preferred stocks, rights and warrants, and securities convertible into common stock. Preferred stocks, while a form of equity security, typically have a fixed dividend that may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. If prevailing interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. The right to payment of dividends on preferred stock generally is subordinate to the rights of the company’s debt securities. Preferred stock dividends may be cumulative (they remain a liability of the company until paid) or noncumulative.

Debt Securities and Convertible Securities. While the Fund emphasizes investments in common stocks, it can also buy debt securities and securities convertible into common stock. A convertible security is one that can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Many convertible securities are a form of debt security, but the Manager regards some of them as “equity substitutes” because of their feature allowing them to be converted into common stock. Therefore, their credit ratings have less impact on the Manager’s investment decision than in the case of other debt securities. Nevertheless, convertible debt securities are subject to both credit risk and interest rate risk described below.

The Fund may invest in convertible preferred stock. Some convertible preferred stock with a mandatory conversion feature has a set call price to buy the underlying common stock. If the underlying common stock price is less than the call price, the holder will pay more for the common stock than its market price. The issuer might also be able to redeem the stock prior to the mandatory conversion date, which could diminish the potential for capital appreciation on the investment.

The Fund can buy convertible securities rated as low as “B” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or having comparable ratings by other nationally recognized rating organizations (or, if they are unrated, having a comparable rating assigned by the Manager). Those ratings are below “investment-grade” and the securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) are subject to greater risk of default by the issuer than investment-grade securities and may be subject to greater market fluctuations. These risks can reduce the Fund’s share prices and the income it earns. These investments are subject to the Fund’s policy of not investing more than 10% of its net assets in debt securities. To the extent the Fund buys debt securities it will focus primarily on investment-grade securities. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about restrictions applicable to the Fund’s investment in debt securities.

Investing in Special Situations. At times the Fund might use aggressive investment techniques. These might include seeking to benefit from what the portfolio manager perceives to be “special situations,” such as mergers, reorganizations or other unusual events expected to affect a particular issuer. However, there is a risk that the change or event might not occur, which could have a negative impact on the price of the issuer’s securities. The Fund’s investment might not produce the expected gains or could incur a loss.
 

Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund can invest in small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in operation less than three years, including the operations of any predecessors. These securities may have limited liquidity (which means the Fund may have difficulty selling them at an acceptable price when it wants to), and their prices may be very volatile.
 

Investing in Domestic Securities. The Fund does not expect to invest more than 10% of its total assets under normal market conditions in securities of U.S. issuers. However, it can hold common and preferred stocks of U.S. companies as well as their debt securities, and can also invest in U.S. corporate and government debt securities for defensive and liquidity purposes.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market. That may make it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. Restricted securities may have terms that limit their resale to other investors or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they may be sold publicly. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be subject to that limit. The Manager monitors holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can use “derivative” investments to seek increased returns or to try to hedge investment risks. In general terms, a derivative investment is an investment contract whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying asset, such as a stock or bond, or non-asset reference, such as an interest rate or index. In the broadest sense, exchange-traded options, futures contracts, forward contracts and other instruments the Fund might use can be considered “derivative” investments. The Fund has limits on its use of certain types of derivatives and is not required to use them in seeking its investment objective.

Hedging. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts on broadly-based securities indices and foreign currencies, put and call options, forward contracts and options on futures and broadly-based securities indices to hedge investment risks. These may be referred to as “hedging strategies.” The Fund could hedge for a number of purposes. It might hedge against changes in securities prices, or against changing interest rates. Buying futures and call options would tend to increase the Fund's exposure to the securities markets. Forward contracts can be used to try to manage foreign currency risks on the Fund's foreign investments.

     
There are also special risks in particular hedging strategies. For example, options trading involves the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. If a covered call written by the Fund is exercised on an investment that has increased in value, the Fund will be required to sell the investment at the call price and will not be able to realize any profit if the investment has increased in value above the call price. The Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its futures and options positions were not correlated with its other investments or if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid market. If the Manager used a hedging strategy at the wrong time or judged market conditions incorrectly, the hedge might fail and the strategy could reduce the Fund’s return.

Concentration. Generally, the Fund cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in investments in a single industry.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“Goldman Sachs”) for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including any collateral invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower.
 
The Fund’s portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Fund’s securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations. The Fund limits loans of portfolio securities to not more than 25% of its net assets.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund invests in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund rather than purchasing individual short-term investments to try to seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund directly. At the time of an investment, the Manager cannot always predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E shares, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments described above or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund portfolio securities or to meet anticipated redemptions of Fund shares. To the extent the Fund invests in these securities, it might not achieve its investment objective.
 

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." Although the Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation, it may engage in active and frequent trading while trying to achieve its objective. Increased portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and transaction costs for the Fund (and may reduce performance). Additionally, securities trading can cause the Fund to realize gains that are distributed to shareholders as taxable distributions.

(c) Risks.

The risks summarized below collectively form the overall risk profile of the Fund and can affect the value of the Fund’s investments, its investment performance and its net asset value per Share. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund. When you sell your Shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Risks of Investing in Stocks. Because the Fund invests primarily in common stocks of foreign companies, the value of the Fund’s holdings will be affected by changes in the foreign stock markets and the special economic and other factors that might primarily affect the prices of particular foreign markets. That volatility is likely to be even greater for stocks issued by small- and mid-sized companies, in which the Fund may invest a substantial amount of its assets. Market risk will affect the Fund’s net asset value per Share, which will fluctuate as the values of the Fund’s portfolio securities change. The prices of individual stocks do not all move in the same direction uniformly or at the same time. For example, “growth” stocks may perform well under circumstances in which “value” stocks in general have fallen. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other. 

Additionally, stocks of issuers in a particular industry may be affected by changes in economic conditions that affect that industry more than others, or by changes in government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events affecting that industry. To the extent the Fund emphasizes investments in a particular industry, its share values may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry.

Other factors can affect a particular stock’s price, such as poor earnings reports by the issuer, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer, or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer.

·     

Special Risks of Stocks Issued by Small- and Mid-Sized Companies. These companies can include both established and newer companies. While newer companies might offer greater opportunities for capital appreciation than larger, more established companies, they involve substantially greater risks of loss and price fluctuations than larger issuers.


Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies may have limited product lines or markets for their products, limited access to financial resources and less depth in management skill than larger, more established companies. Their stocks may be less liquid than those of larger issuers. That means the Fund could have greater difficulty selling its securities at an acceptable price, especially in periods of market volatility. That factor increases the potential for losses to the Fund. Also, it may take a substantial period of time before the Fund realizes a gain on an investment in the stocks of a small- or mid-sized company, if it realizes any gain at all.

Risks of Value Investing. Value investing entails the risk that the market might not recognize that the selected securities are undervalued and the prices of those securities might not appreciate as anticipated. Value investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. Although "value" companies may outperform "growth" companies at certain times, "growth" companies may outperform "value" companies during other periods. During those periods the Fund may underperform funds that use a "growth" investment strategy.

Selection Risk. Poor investment selection by the Manager will cause the Fund to underperform other funds having a similar investment objective and investment strategies.
 

Risks of Foreign Investing. While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, they are also subject to special risks. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition. A change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency and of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. Additionally, the value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, or other political and economic factors.

·     

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. Developing or emerging market countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges. Securities of companies in developing or emerging market countries may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and their prices may be more volatile than securities of companies in countries with more mature markets. Settlements of trades may be subject to greater delays so that the proceeds of a sale of a security may not be received on a timely basis. The economies of developing or emerging market countries may be more dependent on relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Developing or emerging market countries may have less developed legal and accounting systems, and investments in those countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of company assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Their governments may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. The value of the currency of a developing or emerging market country may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in companies in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.


The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that are traded in U.S. or foreign markets. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in securities traded in foreign markets, it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Fund's use of "fair value pricing" under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the Fund and the Board believe to be their fair value, may help deter those activities.

Credit Risk. Debt securities are subject to credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a security to make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. If the issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund’s income might be reduced, and if the issuer fails to repay principal, the value of that security and of the Fund’s Shares might be reduced. A downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating or other adverse news about an issuer can reduce the value of that issuer’s securities. The Fund may invest in high-yield, lower-grade debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). Lower-grade debt securities may be subject to greater market fluctuations and greater risks of loss of income and principal than investment-grade debt securities. There may be less of a market for them and therefore they may be harder to sell at an acceptable price. These risks mean that the Fund may not achieve the expected income from lower-grade securities, and that the Fund’s net asset value per Share may be affected by declines in the value of these securities.

Interest Rate Risk. The values of debt securities are subject to change when prevailing interest rates change. When prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. When prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may sell at a discount from their face amount. The magnitude of these fluctuations will often be greater for longer-term debt securities than shorter-term debt securities. The Fund’s Share price can go up or down when interest rates change because of the effect of the changes on the value of the Fund’s investments in debt securities.

Risks of Derivatives. If the issuer of the derivative does not pay the amount due, the Fund can lose money on the investment. Also, the underlying security or investment on which the derivative is based, and the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Manager expected it to perform. If that happens, the Fund’s share prices could decline. Some derivatives may be illiquid, making it difficult to value them or sell them at an acceptable price. Using derivatives can increase the volatility of the Fund’s Share price. As a result of these risks the Fund could realize less principal or income from the investment than expected and its Share price could fall or the Fund's hedge could be unsuccessful. The Fund has limits on the amount of particular types of derivatives it can hold.
 

Investments By “Funds of Funds.” Shares of the Fund are offered as an investment to certain other Oppenheimer funds that act as “funds of funds.” The Fund’s Board of Directors has approved making the Fund's shares available as an investment for those funds. From time to time, those funds of funds may invest significant portions of their assets in Shares of the Fund. Those investments may also represent a significant portion of the Fund's outstanding Shares.
 
Those funds of funds typically use asset allocation strategies under which they may increase or reduce the amount of their investment in the Fund frequently, and may do so on a daily basis during volatile market conditions. If the size of those purchases and redemptions of the Fund’s Shares were significant relative to the size of the Fund's assets, the Fund could be required to purchase or sell portfolio securities, increasing its transaction costs and possibly reducing its performance.

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Stock markets can be volatile, and the prices of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The Fund generally does not use income-oriented investments to help to cushion the Fund's total return from changes in stock prices. The Fund's share price is likely to be more volatile than funds that do not invest in foreign securities or that invest primarily in investment-grade debt securities but may be less volatile than funds that emphasize investments in emerging markets or small-cap stocks.

(d) Portfolio Holdings.

The Fund’s portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to shareholders of the Fund within 60 days after the close of the period for which such report is being made. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than 60 days after the close of its first and third fiscal quarters. These required filings are publicly available at the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, portfolio holdings of the Fund are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the close of each of the Fund’s fiscal quarters.
 
A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
 

ITEM 10. Management, Organization and Capital Structure

(a)(1) Investment Adviser.
 

The Manager. The Manager chooses the Fund's investments and handles its day-to-day business. The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the policies established by the Fund's Board of Directors, under an investment advisory agreement that states the Manager's responsibilities. The agreement sets the fees the Fund pays to the Manager and describes the expenses that the Fund is responsible to pay to conduct its business.

The Manager has been an investment adviser since 1960. The Manager and a subsidiary managed funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of June 30, 2009. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

Advisory Fees. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee, calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund, at an annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund’s average annual net assets.

Effective September 1, 2008, the Manager will voluntarily waive a portion of the Fund’s advisory fee so that the effective advisory fee rate for the Fund will not exceed the combined effective advisory fee and administrative fee rates of Oppenheimer Quest International Value Fund, Inc. measured as of the last business day of the prior month. This voluntary waiver may be withdrawn at any time.
 

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Directors’ approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement is available in the Fund’s annual report, to shareholders for the fiscal period ended April 30, 2008.
 

(a)(2) Portfolio Manager.

Portfolio Manager. The Fund’s portfolio is managed by Dominic Freud, who is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investments.

Mr. Freud has been a Vice President of the Fund since February 2008 and a Vice President of the Manager since April 2003. He is an officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex. He was a Partner and European Equity portfolio manager at SLS Management from January 2002 through February 2003, prior to which he was head of the European equities desk and managing director at SG Cowen from May 1994 through January 2002.
 

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio manager’s compensation, other accounts he manages and his ownership of Fund Shares.
 

(a)(3) Legal Proceedings. Not Applicable.
 

(b) Capital Stock.

Fund Shares may not be transferred, but an investor may withdraw all or any portion of its Shares in the Fund at net asset value on any day which the NYSE is open, subject to certain exceptions. For more information about the ability of an investor to redeem all or any portion of its investment in the Fund, please see Item 11 herein. The Fund reserves the right to issue additional Shares. Investors in the Fund have no preemptive or conversion rights, and Shares when issued will be fully paid and non-assessable.
 
The Fund has no current intention to hold annual meetings of investors, except to the extent required by the Investment Company Act, but will hold special meetings of investors when, in the judgment of the Directors, it is necessary or desirable to submit matters for an investor vote. Each investor is entitled to vote in proportion to its investment in the Fund. Investors in the Fund will participate equally in accordance with their pro rata interests in the assets of the Fund. Upon liquidation of the Fund, investors would be entitled to share, in proportion to their investment in the Fund, in the assets of the Fund available for distribution to investors.
 

ITEM 11. Shareholder Information.
 

(a) Pricing of Fund Shares.

Shares are sold at their offering price which is the net asset value per Share. No initial sales charge applies. The offering price that applies to a purchase order is the next net asset value calculated after the purchase order is received and accepted by the Fund’s placement agent. The Fund calculates the net asset value of the Shares as of the close of the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a “regular business day”). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, but may close earlier on some days. All references to time in this prospectus are to Eastern time.
 
If your order is received on a day when the NYSE is closed or after it has closed, the order will receive the next offering price that is determined after your order is received and accepted. The Board of Directors may change the time as of which the Fund’s net asset value is calculated in response to new developments such as altered trading hours, or otherwise as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Fund determines the net asset value per Share by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets (the value of the Fund’s assets minus its liabilities) by the number of Shares that are outstanding. To determine net asset value, the Fund assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations. If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security (in the Manager's judgment), or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Directors believes accurately reflects the fair value.
 

The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Manager's Valuation Committee. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined. In determining whether current market prices are readily available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities for significant events that it believes in good faith will affect the market prices of the securities of issuers held by the Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster). The Fund uses fair value pricing procedures to reflect what the Manager and the Board believe to be more accurate values for the Fund's portfolio securities, although it may not always be able to accurately determine such values. There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.
 

In addition, the discussion of “time-zone arbitrage” describes effects that the Fund's fair value pricing policy is intended to counteract. If, after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset values are calculated that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded, the Manager will use its best judgment to determine a fair value for that security. The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets on a trading day after the close of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into account. Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on days that are not regular business days, the value of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Shares.
 

(b) Purchase of Fund Shares

Shares of the Fund are issued solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Investments in the Fund may only be made by certain “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, including other investment companies. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any “security” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
 
There is no minimum initial or subsequent investment in the Fund. The Fund reserves the right to stop accepting investments from any investor or to reject any investment order.
 

(c) Redemption of Fund Shares

You can sell (redeem) some or all of your Shares on any regular business day. Your Shares will be redeemed at the next net asset value calculated after your order is received and accepted by the Fund’s transfer agent. The proceeds of any redemption will be paid within seven days of the receipt and acceptance of the redemption order, except as otherwise permitted by the Investment Company Act or as provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shares of the Fund may not be transferred.

(d) Dividends and Distributions. Not applicable.
 

(e) Frequent Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares

The Fund does not offer Shares of the Fund for sale to the general public. The Board anticipates that the Fund’s shareholders generally will invest on a long-term basis. Therefore, the Board has not adopted any procedures to address short-term trading in the Fund.
 

(f) Tax Consequences.
 
The Fund intends to operate as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Fund will not be subject to any Federal income tax. Based upon the status of the Fund as a partnership, each investor will take into account its share of the Fund’s income, capital gains, losses, deductions and credits in determining its income tax liability. The determination of an investor’s share of the Fund’s income, capital gains, losses, deductions and credits will be made in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 

ITEM 12. Distribution Arrangements.
 

(a) Sales Loads. Not applicable.
 

(b) 12b-1 Fees. Not applicable.
 

(c) Multiple Class and Master-Feeder Funds.
 
The Fund does not have multiple classes of shares.
 
Investments in the Fund may be made only by certain “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Such investors may include, from time to time, “feeder” funds or pooled investment vehicles that invest all of their assets in Shares of the Fund. A feeder fund is not required to sell its shares to the public at the same price as another feeder fund. Feeder funds may have different sales commissions and operating expenses. These different sales commissions and operating expenses may result in differences in returns among the feeder funds. A feeder fund that invests in the Fund may retain the ability to discontinue its investment in the Fund in favor of another investment company or other investments in pursuit of its investment objective.

The Fund was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on January 10, 2008.
 

Item 16. Description of the Fund and Its Investments and Risks.
 

(a) Classification.
 
The Fund is a diversified, open-end, management investment company.
 

(b) Investment Strategies and Risks.
 
The Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and the related risks are described in the Prospectus. The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with Item 9 of the Fund’s Prospectus. In addition, this Statement of Additional Information contains information about other investment strategies that the Fund’s investment adviser, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”), may use in managing the Fund’s portfolio and the related risks. The composition of the Fund’s portfolio and the strategies that the Manager may use in selecting portfolio securities will vary over time. The Fund is not required to use all of the investment strategies described below in seeking its goal. It may use the investment strategies at some times or not at all.

Investments in Stocks and Other Equity Securities. The Fund focuses its investments primarily in common stocks of foreign companies, but it can invest in other equity securities. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, rights and warrants, and securities convertible into common stock.

     Securities of newer companies might offer greater opportunities for capital appreciation than securities of large, more established companies. However, these securities also involve greater risks than securities of more established companies.

     The 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 Fund may have substantial amounts of its assets invested in securities of issuers in one or more capitalization ranges, based upon the Manager’s use of its investment strategies and its judgment of where the best market opportunities are to seek the Fund’s objective. At times, the market may favor or disfavor securities of issuers of a particular capitalization range. Securities of small- or mid-capitalization issuers may be subject to greater price volatility in general than securities of larger companies. Therefore, if the Fund has substantial investments in smaller capitalization companies at times of market volatility, the Fund’s share price may fluctuate more than that of funds focusing on larger capitalization issuers.

·     Preferred Stocks. Preferred stocks are equity securities but have certain attributes of debt securities. Preferred stock, unlike common stock, has a stated dividend rate payable from the corporation’s earnings. Preferred stock dividends may be cumulative or non-cumulative, participating, or auction rate. “Cumulative” dividend provisions require all or a portion of prior unpaid dividends to be paid before the issuer can pay dividends on common shares.

If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. Preferred stocks may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as provisions for their call or redemption prior to maturity which can have a negative effect on their prices when interest rates decline. Preferred stock may be “participating” stock, which means that it may be entitled to a dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain cases.

Preferred stocks are equity securities because they do not constitute a liability of the issuer and therefore do not offer the same degree of protection of capital as debt securities and may not offer the same degree of assurance of continued income as debt securities. The rights of preferred stock on distribution of a corporation’s assets in the event of its liquidation are generally subordinate to the rights associated with a corporation’s debt securities. Preferred stock generally has a preference over common stock on the distribution of a corporation’s assets in the event of its liquidation.

·     Rights and Warrants. The Fund can invest up to 5% of its total assets in warrants or rights. That 5% limit does not apply to warrants and rights the Fund has acquired as part of units of securities or that are attached to other securities that the Fund buys.

Warrants basically are options to purchase equity securities at specific prices valid for a specific period of time. Their prices do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying securities. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer.

·     Convertible Securities. Convertible securities are debt securities that are convertible into an issuer’s common stock. 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 the issuer’s bankruptcy or liquidation.

The value of a convertible security is a function of its “investment value” and its “conversion value.” If the investment value exceeds the 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 the conversion value exceeds the investment value, the security will behave more like an equity security: it will likely sell at a premium over its conversion value, and its price will tend to fluctuate directly with the price of the underlying security. Convertible securities are subject to credit risks and interest rate risk as discussed below under “Investing in Debt Securities.”

While many convertible securities are a form of debt security, in some cases their conversion feature (allowing conversion into equity securities) causes the Manager to regard them more as “equity equivalents.” In those cases, the credit rating assigned to the security has less impact on the Manager’s investment decision than in the case of non-convertible fixed income securities. To determine whether convertible securities should be regarded as “equity equivalents,” the Manager examines the following factors:

(1)     

whether, at the option of the investor, the convertible security can be exchanged for a fixed number of shares of common stock of the issuer,


(2)     

whether the issuer of the convertible securities has restated its earnings per share of common stock on a fully diluted basis (considering the effect of conversion of the convertible securities), and


(3)     

the extent to which the convertible security may be a defensive “equity substitute,” providing the ability to participate in any appreciation in the price of the issuer’s common stock.


·     

Risks of Investing in Stocks. Stocks fluctuate in price, and their short-term volatility at times may be great. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities, the value of the Fund’s portfolio will be affected by changes in the stock markets. Market risk can affect the Fund's net asset value per share, which will fluctuate as the values of the Fund’s portfolio securities change. The prices of individual stocks do not all move in the same direction uniformly or at the same time. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other.


Other factors can affect a particular stock’s price, such as poor earnings reports by the issuer, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer, or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or its industry. The Fund can invest in securities of large companies and mid-size companies, but may also hold stocks of small companies, which may have more volatile stock prices than stocks of larger companies.

Foreign Securities. “Foreign securities” include equity and debt securities of companies organized under the laws of countries other than the United States and of governments other than the U.S. government. “Foreign securities” also include securities of companies (including those that are located in the United States or organized under U.S. law) that derive a significant portion of their revenue or profits from foreign businesses, investments or sales, or that have a significant portion of their assets abroad. Those securities may be traded on foreign securities exchanges or in the foreign over-the-counter markets.

     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, and foreign currencies, are considered “foreign securities” for the purpose of the Fund’s investment allocations. They are subject to some of the special considerations and risks, discussed below, that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad. 

     The amount of the Fund’s assets invested in securities of issuers in a particular country will vary over time, based upon the Manager’s evaluation of the investment merits of particular issuers as well as the market and economic conditions in a particular country or region. Factors that might be considered could include, for example, a country’s balance of payments, inflation rate, economic self-sufficiency, and social and political factors.

     Because the Fund may purchase securities denominated in foreign currencies, a change in the value of such foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the amount of income the Fund has available for distribution. Because a portion of the Fund’s investment income may be received in foreign currencies, the Fund will be required to compute its income in U.S. dollars for distribution to shareholders, and therefore the Fund will absorb the cost of currency fluctuations. After the Fund has distributed income, subsequent foreign currency losses may result in the Fund’s having distributed more income in a particular fiscal period than was available from investment income, which could result in a return of capital to shareholders.
 
     Investing in foreign securities offers potential benefits not available from investing solely in securities of domestic issuers. They include the opportunity to invest in foreign issuers that appear to offer growth potential, or in foreign countries with economic policies or business cycles different from those of the United States, or to reduce fluctuations in portfolio value by taking advantage of foreign stock markets that do not move in a manner parallel to U.S. markets.

     Ÿ Risks of Foreign Investing. Investments in foreign securities may offer special opportunities for investing but also present special additional risks and considerations not typically associated with investments in domestic securities. Some of these additional risks are:

·     

reduction of income by foreign taxes;


·     

fluctuation in value of foreign investments due to changes in currency rates or currency control regulations (for example, currency blockage) or due to currency devaluation;


·     

transaction charges for currency exchange;


·     

lack of public information about foreign issuers;


·     

lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards in foreign countries comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers;


·     

less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;


·     

greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the United States;


·     

less governmental regulation of foreign issuers, stock exchanges and brokers than in the United States;


·     

foreign exchange contracts;


·     

greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;


·     

higher brokerage commission rates than in the United States;


·     

increased risks of delays in settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates for portfolio securities;


·     

foreign withholding taxes on interest and dividends;


·     

possibilities in some countries of expropriation, nationalization, 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.
 

     Ÿ Special Risks of Emerging Markets. Emerging and developing markets abroad may also offer special opportunities for investing but have greater risks than more developed foreign markets, such as those in Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. There may be less liquidity in their securities markets, and settlements of purchases and sales of securities may be subject to additional delays. They are subject to greater risks of limitations on the repatriation of income and profits because of currency restrictions imposed by local governments. Those countries may also be subject to the risk of greater political and economic instability, which can greatly affect the volatility of prices of securities in those countries.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies. Under U.S. tax laws, passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs") are those foreign corporations which generate primarily "passive" income. Passive income is defined as any income that is considered foreign personal holding company income under the Internal Revenue Code. For federal tax purposes, a foreign corporation is deemed to be a PFIC if 75% or more of its gross income during a fiscal year is passive income or if 50% or more of its assets are assets that produce, or are held to produce, passive income.

Subject to the limits under the Investment Company Act, the Fund may invest in foreign mutual funds to gain exposure to the securities of companies in countries that limit or prohibit all direct foreign investment. Foreign mutual funds are generally deemed to be PFICs, since nearly all of the income of a mutual fund is passive income. Some of the other foreign corporations that the Fund may invest in may also be considered PFICs.

     Federal tax laws impose severe tax penalties for failure to properly report investment income from PFICs. The Fund makes every effort to ensure compliance with federal tax reporting of these investments, however the Fund may not realize that a foreign corporation it invests in is a PFIC for federal tax purposes.

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

Investing in Debt Securities. While the Fund does not invest for the purpose of seeking current income, the Fund can invest in debt securities. The Fund can buy debt securities that the Manager believes might offer some opportunities for capital appreciation, including convertible securities as discussed above. Debt securities also can be selected for investment by the Fund for defensive purposes, as described below. For example, when the stock market is volatile, or when the portfolio manager believes that opportunities in stocks are not attractive, certain debt securities might provide not only defensive opportunities but also some opportunities for capital appreciation.

     The Fund’s debt investments can include corporate bonds and notes of foreign or U.S. companies, as well as U.S. and foreign government securities. It is not expected that this will be a significant strategy of the Fund under normal market circumstances. Foreign debt securities are subject to the risks of foreign investing described above. In general, domestic and foreign fixed- income securities are also subject to two additional types of risk: credit risk and interest rate risk.

     Ÿ Credit Risk. Some of the special credit risks of debt securities are discussed in the Prospectus. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. For lower-grade debt securities there is 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 low creditworthiness may reflect increased potential for its insolvency. An overall decline in values in the high yield bond market is also 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 as well as the ability of issuers to pay interest or repay principal. 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 Statement of Additional Information.

     However, the Fund’s limitations on buying these investments may reduce the risks to the Fund, as will the Fund’s policy of diversifying its investments. Additionally, to the extent they can be converted into stock, convertible securities may be less subject to some of these risks than non-convertible high yield bonds, since stock may be more liquid and less affected by some of these risk factors.

     Ÿ Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income 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 fixed-income investments and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.

     Fluctuations in the market value of fixed-income 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.

     Ÿ Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. The Fund can invest in higher-yielding lower-grade debt securities (that is, securities below investment grade). “Investment-grade securities” refers to securities rated in the four highest rating categories of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“Standard and Poor’s”) and Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”), or having equivalent ratings from other nationally recognized rating agencies or, in the case of unrated securities, comparable ratings assigned to a security by the Manager. “Lower-grade” debt securities are those rated below “investment grade,” which means they have a rating lower than “Baa” by Moody’s or lower than “BBB” by Standard & Poor’s or Fitch or similar ratings by other nationally recognized rating organizations.

     The Fund can invest in non-convertible debt securities rated as low as “C” or “D” or which are in default when the Fund buys them. While securities rated “Baa” by Moody’s or “BBB” by Standard & Poor’s or Fitch are investment-grade, those securities may be subject to interest rate and credit risks, and have some speculative characteristics. Definitions of the debt security ratings categories of Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch are included in Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information.  

     The Fund can also buy unrated securities to which the Manager assigns a rating based upon its evaluation of the yield and risks of comparable rated securities. The Fund is not obligated to dispose of a security if the rating is reduced after the Fund buys the security, but the Manager will monitor those securities to determine whether they should be retained in the Fund’s portfolio.

Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The 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. Securities of these companies may be subject to volatility in their prices. They might have a limited trading market, which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to dispose of them and can reduce the price the Fund might be able to obtain for them. Other investors that own a security issued by a small, unseasoned issuer for which there is limited liquidity might trade the security when the Fund is attempting to dispose of its holdings of that security. In that case the Fund might receive a lower price for its holdings than might otherwise be obtained. The Fund has no limit on the amount of its net assets that may be invested in those securities.

Investing in Cyclical Opportunities. The Fund might also seek to take advantage of changes in the business cycle by investing in companies that are sensitive to those changes if the Manager believes they have growth potential. For example, when the economy is expanding, companies in the consumer durables and technology sectors might benefit and present long-term growth opportunities. The Fund focuses on seeking growth over the long term but might seek to take tactical advantage of short-term market movements or events affecting particular issuers or industries. There is the risk that those securities can lose value when the issuer or industry is out of favor in the business cycle or that the Manager’s expectations for cyclical market movements may not be realized.

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

     In a repurchase transaction, the 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 of the purchase. Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are subject to the Fund’s policy limits on holding illiquid investments, described below. The Fund cannot 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 Fund’s net assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements having maturities of seven days or less.
 
     Repurchase agreements, considered “loans” under the Investment Company Act, are collateralized by the underlying security. The 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 resale price on the delivery date, the Fund may incur costs in disposing of the collateral and may experience losses if there is any 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 “SEC”), the Fund, along with other affiliated 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.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Under the policies and procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors, the Manager determines the liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments. To enable the Fund to sell its holdings of a restricted security not registered under the applicable securities laws, the Fund may have to cause those securities to be registered. The expenses of registering restricted securities may be negotiated by the Fund with the issuer at the time the Fund buys the securities. When the Fund must arrange registration because the 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 Fund could sell it. The Fund would bear the risks of any downward price fluctuation during that period.

     The Fund can also acquire restricted securities through private placements. Those securities have contractual restrictions on their public resale. Those restrictions might limit the Fund’s ability to dispose of the securities and might lower the amount the Fund could realize upon the sale.
 

     The 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, 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 Fund’s holdings of that security may be considered to be illiquid.
 

     Illiquid securities include repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days and participation interests that do not have puts exercisable within seven days.

Borrowing and Leverage.  The Fund may not borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption from the Act that applies to the Fund, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time. Currently, under the Investment Company Act, a mutual fund may borrow only from banks (for other than emergency purposes) and only to the extent that the value of the Fund’s assets, less its liabilities other than borrowings, is equal to at least 300% of all borrowings including the proposed borrowing, except that it may also borrow up to 5% of its total assets for temporary or emergency purposes from any lender. 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.

            When the Fund borrows, it segregates or identifies securities on its books equal to 300% of the amount borrowed to cover its obligation to repay the loan. If the value of the Fund's assets fails to meet this 300% asset coverage requirement, it will reduce its borrowings within three days to meet the requirement. To do so, the Fund might have to sell a portion of its investments at a disadvantageous time.
 
            When the Fund invests borrowed money in portfolio securities, it is using a speculative investment technique known as "leverage." If the Fund does borrow, its expenses may be greater than comparable funds that do not borrow.  The Fund will pay interest on loans, and that interest expense may raise the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns.  In the case of borrowing for leverage, the interest paid on a loan might be more (or less) than the yield on the securities purchased with the loan proceeds. Additionally, the use of leverage may make the Fund’s share prices more sensitive to interest rate changes and thus might cause the Fund's net asset value per share to fluctuate more than that of funds that do not borrow.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“Goldman Sachs”) for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including the risk that the Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower. The Fund’s portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Fund’s securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations. The Fund limits loans of portfolio securities to not more than 25% of its net assets.

Derivatives. The Fund can invest in a variety of derivative investments, including swaps, “structured” notes, convertible notes, options, forward contracts and futures contracts, to seek income or for hedging purposes. The use of derivatives requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than what is required for normal portfolio management.  If the Manager uses a derivative instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the use of derivatives may reduce the Fund’s return.

     Although it is not obligated to do so, the Fund can use derivatives to hedge. The Fund can use hedging to attempt to protect against declines in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio, to permit the Fund to retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities which have appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons. The Fund can use hedging to establish a position in the securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing particular securities. In that case the Fund would normally seek to purchase the securities and then terminate that hedging position. The Fund might also use this type of hedge to attempt to protect against the possibility that its portfolio securities would not be fully included in a rise in value of the market.

     Some of the hedging strategies the Fund can use are described below. The Fund may employ new hedging strategies when they are developed, if those investment methods are consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and are permissible under applicable regulations governing the Fund.
 
     Ÿ
Futures. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to (1) broad-based stock indices (these are referred to as “stock index futures”), (2) an individual stock (“single stock futures”), (3) bond indices (these are referred to as “bond index futures”), (4) debt securities (these are referred to as “interest rate futures”), and (5) foreign currencies (these are referred to as “forward contracts”).

     A broad-based stock index is used as the basis for trading stock index futures. An index may in some cases be based on stocks of issuers in a particular industry or group of industries. A stock index assigns relative values to the common stocks included in the index and its value fluctuates in response to the changes in value of the underlying stocks. A stock index cannot be purchased or sold directly. Bond index futures are similar contracts based on the future value of the basket of securities that comprise the index. These contracts obligate the seller to deliver, and the purchaser to take, cash to settle the futures transaction. There is no delivery made of the underlying securities to settle the futures obligation. Either party may also settle the transaction by entering into an offsetting contract.
 

An interest rate future obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to take) cash or a specified type of debt security to settle the futures transactions. Either party could also enter into an offsetting contract to close out the position. Similarly, a single stock future obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to take) cash or a specified equity security to settle the futures transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting contract to close out the position. Single stock futures trade on a very limited number of exchanges, with contracts typically not fungible among the exchanges.

     No money is paid or received by the Fund on the purchase or sale of a future. Upon entering into a futures transaction, the Fund will be required to deposit an initial margin payment with the futures commission merchant (the “futures broker”). Initial margin payments will be deposited with the Fund’s custodian bank in an account registered in the futures broker’s name. However, the futures broker can gain access to that account only under specified conditions. As the future is marked to market (that is, its value on the Fund’s books is changed) to reflect changes in its market value, subsequent margin payments, called variation margin, will be paid to or by the futures broker daily.

     At any time prior to expiration of the future, the Fund may elect to close out its position by taking an opposite position, at which time a final determination of variation margin is made and any additional cash must be paid by or released to the Fund. Any loss or gain on the future is then realized by the Fund for tax purposes. All futures transactions, except forward contracts, are effected through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange on which the contracts are traded.

     Ÿ Put and Call Options. The Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of put options (“puts”) and call options (“calls”). The Fund can buy and sell exchange-traded and over-the counter put and call options, including index options, securities options, currency options, and options on the other types of futures described above.

     Ÿ Writing Call Options. The Fund can write (that is, sell) calls. If the Fund sells a call option, it must be covered. That means the Fund must own the security subject to the call while the call is outstanding, or the call may be covered by identifying liquid assets on the Fund’s books to enable the Fund to satisfy its obligations if the call is exercised. Up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets may be subject to calls the Fund writes.

     When the Fund writes a call on a security, it receives cash (a premium). The Fund agrees to sell the underlying security to a purchaser of a corresponding call on the same security during the call period at a fixed 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 differ from the market price of the underlying security. The Fund has the risk of loss that the price of the underlying security may decline during the call period. That risk may be offset to some extent by the premium the Fund receives. If the value of the investment does not rise above the call price, it is likely that the call will lapse without being exercised. In that case the Fund would keep the cash premium and the investment.
 
     When the Fund writes a call on an index, it receives cash (a premium). If the buyer of the call exercises it, the Fund will pay an amount of cash equal to the difference between the closing price of the call and the exercise price, multiplied by the specified multiple that determines the total value of the call for each point of difference. If the value of the underlying investment does not rise above the call price, it is likely that the call will lapse without being exercised. In that case the Fund would keep the cash premium.

The Fund’s custodian, or a securities depository acting for the custodian, will act as the Fund’s escrow agent, through the facilities of the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”), as to the investments on which the Fund has written calls traded on exchanges or as to other acceptable escrow securities. In that way, no margin will be required for such transactions. OCC will release the securities on the expiration of the option or when the Fund enters into a closing transaction.

     If the Fund writes an over-the-counter (“OTC”) option, it will enter into an arrangement with a primary U.S. government securities dealer which will establish a formula price at which the 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 option is “in the money”). If the 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 the underlying security, unless the option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker.

To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, the Fund may purchase a corresponding call in a “closing purchase transaction.” The Fund will then realize a profit or loss, depending upon whether the net of the amount of the option transaction costs and the premium received on the call the Fund wrote is more or less than the price of the call the Fund purchases to close out the transaction. The Fund may realize a profit if the call expires unexercised, because the Fund will retain 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, as are the premiums on lapsed calls. If the 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 Fund may also write 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 written, the Fund must cover the call by identifying on its books an equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets. The Fund will identify additional liquid assets on the Fund’s books if the value of the identified assets drops below 100% of the current value of the future. Because of this segregation requirement, in no circumstances would the Fund’s receipt of an exercise notice as to that future require the Fund to deliver a futures contract. It would simply put the Fund in a short futures position.

     Ÿ Writing Put Options. The Fund can sell put options. A put option on securities gives the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying investment at the exercise price during the option period. The Fund will not write puts if, as a result, more than 50% of the Fund’s net assets would be required to be identified on the Fund’s books to cover such put options.
 

If the Fund writes a put, the put must be covered by liquid assets identified on the Fund’s books. The premium the Fund receives from writing a put represents a profit, as long as the price of the underlying investment remains equal to or above the exercise price of the put. However, the Fund also assumes the obligation during the option period to buy the underlying investment from the buyer of the put at the exercise price, even if the value of the investment falls below the exercise price. If a put the Fund has written expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain in the amount of the premium less the transaction costs incurred. If the put is exercised, the Fund must fulfill its obligation to purchase the underlying investment at the exercise price. That price will usually exceed the market value of the investment at that time. In that case, the Fund may incur a loss if it sells the underlying investment. That loss will be equal to the sum of the sale price of the underlying investment and the premium received minus the sum of the exercise price and any transaction costs the Fund incurred.

When writing a put option on a security, to secure its obligation to pay for the underlying security the Fund will identify on its books liquid assets with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the underlying securities. The Fund therefore forgoes the opportunity of investing the identified assets or writing calls against those assets.

As long as the Fund’s obligation as the put writer continues, it may be assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through which the put was sold. That notice will require the Fund to take delivery of the underlying security and pay the exercise price. The Fund has no control over when it may be required to purchase the underlying security, since it may be assigned an exercise notice at any time prior to the termination of its obligation as the writer of the put. That obligation terminates upon expiration of the put. It may also terminate if, before it receives an exercise notice, the Fund effects a closing purchase transaction by purchasing a put of the same series as it sold. Once the Fund has been assigned an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction.

The 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 will also permit the Fund to write another put option on

the security, or to sell the security and use the proceeds from the sale for other investments. The Fund will realize a profit or loss from a closing purchase transaction depending on whether the cost of the transaction is less or more than the premium received from writing the put option. Any profits from writing puts are considered short-term capital gains for federal tax purposes.

     Ÿ Purchasing Calls and Puts. The Fund can purchase calls to protect against the possibility that the Fund’s portfolio will not participate in an anticipated rise in the securities market. When the Fund buys a call (other than in a closing purchase transaction), it pays a premium. The Fund then has the right to buy the underlying investment from a seller of a corresponding call on the same investment during the call period at a fixed exercise price. The Fund benefits only if it sells the call at a profit or if, during the call period, the market price of the underlying investment is above the sum of the call price plus the transaction costs and the premium paid for the call and the Fund exercises the call. If the Fund does not exercise the call or sell it (whether or not at a profit), the call will become worthless at its expiration date. In that case the Fund will have paid the premium but lost the right to purchase the underlying investment.

The Fund can buy puts whether or not it holds the underlying investment in its portfolio. When the Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium and, except as to puts on indices, has the right to sell the underlying investment to a seller of a put on a corresponding investment during the put period at a fixed exercise price. Buying a put on securities or futures the Fund owns enables the Fund to attempt to protect itself during the put period against a decline in the value of the underlying investment below the exercise price by selling the underlying investment at the exercise price to a seller of a corresponding put. If the market price of the underlying investment is equal to or above the exercise price and, as a result, the put is not exercised or resold, the put will become worthless at its expiration date. In that case the Fund will have paid the premium but lost the right to sell the underlying investment. However, the Fund may sell the put prior to its expiration. That sale may or may not be at a profit.

     Buying a put on an investment the Fund does not own (such as an index or future) permits the Fund either to resell the put or to buy the underlying investment and sell it at the exercise price. The resale price will vary inversely to the price of the underlying investment. 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 Fund purchases a call or put on an index or future, it pays a premium, but settlement is in cash rather than by delivery of the underlying investment to the Fund. Gain or loss depends on changes in the index in question (and thus on price movements in the securities market generally) rather than on price movements in individual securities or futures contracts.

     The Fund may buy a call or put only if, after the purchase, the value of all call and put options held by the Fund will not exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets.
 

     Ÿ Buying and Selling Call and Put Options on Foreign Currencies. The Fund can buy and sell calls and puts on foreign currencies. They include puts and calls that trade on a securities or commodities exchange or in the over-the-counter markets or are quoted by major recognized dealers in such options. The Fund could use these calls and puts to try to protect against declines in the dollar value of foreign securities and increases in the dollar cost of foreign securities the Fund wants to acquire.

If the Manager anticipates a rise in the dollar value of a foreign currency in which securities to be acquired are denominated, the increased cost of those securities may be partially offset by purchasing calls or writing puts on that foreign currency. If the Manager anticipates a decline in the dollar value of a foreign currency, the decline in the dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in that currency might be partially offset by writing calls or purchasing puts on that foreign currency. However, the currency rates could fluctuate in a direction adverse to the Fund’s position. The Fund will then have incurred option premium payments and transaction costs without a corresponding benefit.

A call the Fund writes on a foreign currency is “covered” if the 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 (or it can do so for additional cash consideration identified on its books) upon conversion or exchange of other foreign currency held in its portfolio.

The Fund could write a call on a foreign currency to provide a hedge against a decline in the U.S. dollar value of a security which the Fund owns or has the right to acquire and which is denominated in the currency underlying the option. That decline might be one that occurs due to an expected adverse change in the exchange rate. This is known as a “cross-hedging” strategy. In those circumstances, the Fund covers the option by identifying on its books liquid assets in an amount equal to the exercise price of the option.

     Ÿ Risks of Hedging with Options and Futures. The use of hedging strategies requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than what is required for normal portfolio management. If the Manager uses a hedging strategy at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, hedging strategies may reduce the Fund’s return. The Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its futures and options positions were not correlated with its other investments.
 

The Fund’s option activities could affect its portfolio turnover rate and brokerage commissions. The exercise of calls written by the Fund might cause the Fund to sell related portfolio securities, thus increasing its turnover rate. The exercise by the Fund of puts on securities will cause the sale of underlying investments, increasing portfolio turnover. Although the decision whether to exercise a put it holds is within the Fund’s control, holding a put might cause the Fund to sell the related investments for reasons that would not exist in the absence of the put.

The Fund could pay a brokerage commission each time it buys a call or put, sells a call or put, or buys or sells an underlying investment in connection with the exercise of a call or put. Those commissions could be higher on a relative basis than the commissions for direct purchases or sales of the underlying investments. Premiums paid for options are small in relation to the market value of the underlying investments. Consequently, put and call options offer large amounts of leverage. The leverage offered by trading in options could result in the Fund’s net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying investment.

If a covered call written by the Fund is exercised on an investment that has increased in value, the Fund will be required to sell the investment at the call price. It will not be able to realize any additional appreciation in excess of the covered call price if the investment has increased in value above the call price.

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. The Fund might experience losses if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid market for the future or option.

There is a risk in using short hedging by selling futures or purchasing puts on broadly-based indices or futures to attempt to protect against declines in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The risk is that the prices of the futures or the applicable index will correlate imperfectly with the behavior of the cash prices of the Fund’s securities. For example, it is possible that while the Fund has used derivative instruments in a short hedge, the market might advance and the value of the securities held in the Fund’s portfolio might decline. If that occurred, the Fund would lose money on the derivative instruments and also experience a decline in the value of its portfolio securities. However, while this could occur for a very brief period or to a very small degree, over time the value of a diversified portfolio of securities will tend to move in the same direction as the indices upon which the derivative instruments are based.

The risk of imperfect correlation increases as the composition of the Fund’s holdings 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 derivative instruments, the Fund might use derivative 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.

The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets are subject to distortions, due to differences in the nature of those markets. First, all participants in the futures market are subject to margin deposit and maintenance requirements. Rather than meeting additional margin deposit requirements, investors may close futures contracts through offsetting transactions which could distort the normal relationship between the cash and futures markets. Second, 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. Third, from the point of view of speculators, 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 temporary price distortions.

     The Fund can use derivative instruments to establish a position in the securities markets as a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual securities (long hedging) by buying futures and/or calls on such futures, broadly-based indices or on securities. It is possible that when the Fund does so the market might decline. If the Fund then concludes not to invest in securities because of concerns that the market might decline further or for other reasons, the Fund will realize a loss on the derivative instruments that is not offset by a reduction in the price of the securities purchased.
 

     Ÿ Forward Contracts. Forward contracts are foreign currency exchange contracts. They are used to buy or sell foreign currency for future delivery at a fixed price. The Fund uses them to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of a security denominated in a foreign currency that the Fund has bought or sold, or to protect against possible losses from changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and a foreign currency. The Fund limits its exposure in foreign currency exchange contracts in a particular foreign currency to the amount of its assets denominated in that currency or a closely-correlated currency. The Fund may also use “cross-hedging” where the Fund hedges against changes in currencies other than the currency in which a security it holds is denominated.
 

Under a forward contract, one party agrees to purchase, and another party agrees to sell, a specific currency at a future date. That date 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. These contracts are traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly among currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.

The Fund may use forward contracts to protect against uncertainty in the level of future exchange rates. The use of forward contracts does not eliminate the risk of fluctuations in the prices of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire, but it does fix a rate of exchange in advance. Although forward contracts may reduce the risk of loss from a decline in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time they limit any potential gain if the value of the hedged currency increases.

When the Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency, or when it anticipates receiving dividend payments in a foreign currency, the Fund might desire to “lock-in” the U.S. dollar price of the security or the U.S. dollar equivalent of the dividend payments. To do so, the Fund could enter into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in the underlying transaction, in a fixed amount of U.S. dollars per unit of the foreign currency. This is called a “transaction hedge.” The transaction hedge will protect the 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 Fund could also use forward contracts to lock in the U.S. dollar value of portfolio positions. This is called a “position hedge.” When the Fund believes that foreign currency might suffer a substantial decline against the U.S. dollar, it could enter into a forward contract to sell an amount of that foreign currency approximating the value of some or all of the Fund’s portfolio securities denominated in that foreign currency. When the Fund believes that the U.S. dollar might 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 Fund could enter into a forward contract to sell a different foreign currency for a fixed U.S. dollar amount if the Fund believes that the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold pursuant to its forward contract will fall whenever there is a decline in the U.S. dollar value of the currency in which portfolio securities of the Fund are denominated. That is referred to as a “cross hedge.”

The Fund will cover its short positions in these cases by identifying on its books assets having a value equal to the aggregate amount of the Fund’s commitment under forward contracts. The Fund will not enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts if the consummation of the contracts would obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other assets denominated in that currency or another currency that is the subject of the hedge.

However, to avoid excess transactions and transaction costs, the Fund may maintain a net exposure to forward contracts in excess of the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other assets denominated in foreign currencies if the excess amount is “covered” by liquid securities denominated in any currency. The cover must be at least equal at all times to the amount of that excess. As one alternative, the Fund may purchase a call option permitting the 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 Fund may purchase a put option permitting the 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 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. In some cases the Manager might decide to sell the security and deliver foreign currency to settle the original purchase obligation. If the market value of the security is less than the amount of foreign currency the Fund is obligated to deliver, the 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 Fund is obligated to deliver to settle the trade, the 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.

The projection of short-term currency market movements is extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain. Forward contracts involve the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, causing the Fund to sustain losses on these contracts and to pay additional transactions costs. The use of forward contracts in this manner might reduce the Fund’s performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency prices to a greater degree than if the Fund had not entered into such contracts.

At or before the maturity of a forward contract requiring the Fund to sell a currency, the Fund might sell a portfolio security and use the sale proceeds to make delivery of the currency. In the alternative the Fund might retain the security and offset its contractual obligation to deliver the currency by purchasing a second contract. Under that contract the Fund will obtain, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the currency that it is obligated to deliver. Similarly, the 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 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.

The costs to the Fund of engaging in forward contracts vary with factors such as the currencies involved, the length of the contract period and the market conditions then prevailing. Because forward contracts are usually entered into on a principal basis, no brokerage fees or commissions are involved. Because these contracts are not traded on an exchange, the Fund must evaluate the credit and performance risk of the counterparty under each forward contract.

Although the Fund values its assets daily in terms of U.S. dollars, it does not intend to convert its holdings of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars on a daily basis. The Fund may convert foreign currency from time to time, and will incur costs in doing so. Foreign exchange dealers do not charge a fee for conversion, but they do seek to 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 Fund at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange if the Fund desires to resell that currency to the dealer.

     Ÿ Total Return Swap Transactions. The Fund may enter into total return swaps. The Fund will only enter into total return swaps if consistent with its fundamental investment objectives or policies and may not invest in such swaps with respect to more than 30% of the Fund’s total assets. Total return swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for a specified period of time typically ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard total return swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the total returns (or the difference between the total returns) earned or realized on a particular asset, such as an equity or debt security, loan, commodity or currency, or non-asset reference, such as an interest rate or index. The swapped returns are generally calculated with respect to a notional amount, that is, the return on a particular dollar amount invested in the underlying asset or reference. The Fund may enter into a swap agreement to, among other reasons, gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible, protect against currency fluctuations, or reduce risk arising from ownership of a particular security or instrument. The Fund will identify liquid assets on the Fund’s books to cover any amounts it could owe under swaps that exceed the amounts it is entitled to receive, and it will adjust that amount daily, as needed. Total return swaps could result in losses if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated by the Manager.
 

The use of swap agreements by the Fund entails certain risks. The swaps market is generally unregulated. There is no central exchange or market for swap transactions and therefore they are less liquid investments than exchange-traded instruments and may be considered illiquid by the Fund. Swap agreements entail credit risk arising from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received. The Manager will monitor the creditworthiness of counterparties to the Fund’s swap transactions on an ongoing basis. The Fund’s successful use of swap agreements is dependent upon the Manager’s ability to predict correctly whether certain types of investments are likely to produce greater returns than other investments. Swap agreements may effectively add leverage to the Fund's portfolio because the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

Ÿ Swaption Transactions. The Fund may enter into a swaption transaction, which is a contract that grants the holder, in return for payment of the purchase price (the "premium") of the option, the right, but not the obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap at a preset rate within a specified period of time, with the writer of the contract. The writer of the contract receives the premium and bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset rate on the underlying interest rate swap. Unrealized gains/losses on swaptions are reflected in investment assets and investment liabilities in the Fund's statement of financial condition.

     Ÿ Regulatory Aspects of Certain Derivative Instruments. The Commodities Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) recently eliminated limitations on futures trading by certain regulated entities including registered investment companies and consequently registered investment companies may engage in unlimited futures transactions and options thereon provided that the Fund claims an exclusion from regulation as a commodity pool operator. The Fund has claimed such an exclusion from registration as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). The Fund may use futures and options 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 Fund’s prospectus or this statement of additional information.

Transactions in options by the 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 written or purchased on the same or different exchanges or are held in one or more accounts or through one or more different exchanges or through one or more brokers. Thus, the number of options that the Fund may write or hold may be affected by options written

or held by other entities, including other investment companies having the same advisor as the Fund (or an advisor that is an affiliate of the Fund’s advisor). 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 staff members of the SEC regarding applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act, when the Fund purchases a future, it must segregate 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.

     Ÿ Tax Aspects of Certain Derivative Instruments. Certain foreign currency exchange contracts in which the Fund may invest are treated as “Section 1256 contracts” under the Internal Revenue Code. 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 Internal Revenue 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 Fund at the end of each taxable year are “marked-to-market,” and unrealized gains or losses are treated as though they were realized. . An election can be made by the Fund to exempt those transactions from this marked-to-market treatment.

Certain forward contracts the 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 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 making up the straddle. 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 Internal Revenue Code, 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 Fund accrues interest or other receivables or accrues expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time the 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 Internal Revenue Code for that trade, which may increase or decrease the amount of the Fund’s investment income available for distribution to its shareholders.

Investment in Other Investment Companies. The Fund can also invest in the securities of other investment companies, which can include open-end funds, closed-end funds and unit investment trusts, subject to the limits set forth in the Investment Company Act that apply to those types of investments. The Fund can not invest in other investment companies in reliance on paragraph (F) or (G) of section 12(d)(1) of the Investment Company Act. For example, the Fund can invest in exchange-traded funds, which are typically open-end funds or unit investment trusts, listed on a stock exchange. The Fund might do so as a way of gaining exposure to the segments of the equity or fixed-income markets represented by the exchange-traded funds’ portfolio, at times when the Fund may not be able to buy those portfolio securities directly.
 

The shares of other investment companies may fluctuate in price and may be worth more or less when the Fund sells them. Investing in another investment company may involve the payment of substantial premiums above the value of such investment company’s portfolio securities and is subject to limitations under the Investment Company Act. The Fund does not intend to invest in other investment companies unless the Manager believes that the potential benefits of the investment justify the payment of any premiums or sales charges. As a shareholder of an investment company, the Fund would be subject to its ratable share of that investment company’s expenses, including its advisory and administration expenses.

Diversification. The Fund is a diversified fund which means 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 if it would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting securities. That restriction 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.

(c) Fund Policies.

     n 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:

·     

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


·     

more than 50% of the outstanding shares.


     Policies described in the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information are “fundamental” only if they are identified as such. The 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 Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information, as appropriate. The Fund’s principal investment policies are described in the Prospectus.

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

·     

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


·     

The Fund cannot make loans, 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 statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.


·     

The Fund may not 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 statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.


·     

The Fund cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one industry. That limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities or securities issued by investment companies.


·     

The Fund cannot invest in real estate, physical commodities or commodity contracts, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.


·     

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.


·     

The Fund cannot issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.


     Unless the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information states that a percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at the time the Fund makes an investment, with the exception of the borrowing policy and illiquid securities policy. The 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.

Does the Fund Have Additional Restrictions That Are Not “Fundamental Policies”? The Fund has an additional operating policy that is not “fundamental,” and which can be changed by the Board of Directors without shareholder approval:

o The 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.

For purposes of the Fund’s policy not to concentrate its investments as described above, the Fund has adopted classifications of industries and groups of related industries. These classifications are not fundamental policies.
 

(d) Temporary Defensive Position.

For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies. Generally the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments described above or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund portfolio securities or to meet anticipated redemptions of Fund shares. To the extent the Fund invests in these securities, it might not achieve its investment objective.

(e) 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 can have a portfolio turnover rate of 100% or more. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 108%. Increased portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and transaction costs for the Fund, which may reduce its overall performance.  

(f) 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, Placement Agent 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).


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 the portfolio manager is 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, Deputy General Counsel 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, Placement Agent, 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, Placement Agent 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, Placement Agent, 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, Placement Agent, and Transfer Agent shall oversee the compliance by the Manager, Placement Agent, 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:

In addition to being a Board member of each of the Board I Funds, Messrs. Downes and Wruble are directors or trustees of ten other portfolios in the Oppenheimer fund complex.

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 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 Placement Agent. 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. Freud, Edwards, Legg, Murphy, Petersen, Vandehey, Wixted and Zack and Mss. Bloomberg, Bullington, Ives and Ruffle, who are officers of the Fund, hold the same offices with one or more of the other Board I Funds. As of July 31, 2009 the Directors and officers of the Fund, as a group, owned of record or beneficially less than 1% of the 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 Fund listed above. In addition, none of the Independent Directors (nor any of their immediate family members) owns securities of either the Manager or the distributor of the Board I Funds or of any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager or the distributor of the Board I Funds.

Biographical Information. The Directors 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.

(b) Board of Directors.
 

The Fund is governed by a Board of Directors. The Directors meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Fund’s activities, review its performance, and review the actions of the Manager.

     The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, a Regulatory & Oversight Committee and a Governance Committee. The Audit Committee and Regulatory & Oversight Committee are comprised solely of Directors who are not “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act (the “Independent Directors”).
 
     During the Fund's fiscal year ended April 30, 2009, the Audit Committee held 4 meetings, the Regulatory & Oversight Committee held 5 meetings and the Governance Committee held 4 meetings.
 

     The members of the Audit Committee are David K. Downes (Chairman), Phillip A. Griffiths, Mary F. Miller, Joseph M. Wikler and Peter I. Wold. 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) maintaining a separate line of communication between the Fund’s independent Auditors and the Independent Directors; (v) reviewing the independence of the Fund’s independent Auditors; and (vi) 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 Regulatory & Oversight Committee are Matthew P. Fink (Chairman), David K. Downes, Phillip A. Griffiths, Joel W. Motley, Mary Ann Tynan and Joseph M. Wikler. The Regulatory & Oversight Committee evaluates and reports to the Board on the Fund’s contractual arrangements, including the Investment Advisory and Distribution Agreements, transfer agency and shareholder service agreements and custodian agreements as well as the policies and procedures adopted by the Fund to comply with the Investment Company Act and other applicable law, among other duties as set forth in the Regulatory & Oversight Committee’s Charter.

The members of the Governance Committee are Joel W. Motley (Chairman), Matthew P. Fink, Mary F. Miller, Russell S. Reynolds, Jr., Mary Ann Tynan and Peter I. Wold. The Governance Committee reviews the Fund’s governance guidelines, the adequacy of the Fund’s Codes of Ethics, and develops qualification criteria for Board members consistent with the Fund’s governance guidelines, provides the Board with recommendations for voting portfolio securities held by the Fund, and monitors the Fund’s proxy voting, among other duties set forth in the Governance Committee’s Charter.

The Governance Committee’s functions also include the selection and nomination of Directors, including Independent Directors for election. The Governance Committee may, but need not, consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and its affiliates in selecting nominees. The full Board elects new Directors except for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

To date, the Governance Committee has been able to identify from its own resources an ample number of qualified candidates. Nonetheless, under the current policy of the Board, if the Board determines that a vacancy exists or is likely to exist on the Board, the Governance Committee will consider candidates for Board membership including those recommended by the Fund's shareholders. The Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by Independent Board members or recommended by any other Board members including Board members affiliated with the Fund’s Manager. The Governance Committee may, upon Board approval, retain an executive search firm to assist in screening potential candidates. Upon Board approval, the Governance Committee may also use the services of legal, financial, or other external counsel that it deems necessary or desirable in the screening process. Shareholders wishing to submit a nominee for election to the Board may do so by mailing their submission to the offices of OppenheimerFunds, Inc., Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008, to the attention of the Board of Directors of Master International Value Fund, LLC, c/o the Secretary of the Fund.

Submissions should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the following: (1) the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended; (2) a statement concerning whether the person is an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act; (3) any other information that the Fund would be required to include in a proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and (4) the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation and, if that person is a shareholder, the period for which that person held Fund shares. Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the Manager) would be deemed an “interested person” under the Investment Company Act. In addition, certain other relationships with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds' outside legal counsel may cause a person to be deemed an “interested person.”

The Governance Committee has not established specific qualifications that it believes must be met by a trustee nominee. In evaluating trustee nominees, the Governance Committee considers, among other things, an individual’s background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act; and whether the individual would be deemed an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The Governance Committee also considers whether the individual’s background, skills, and experience will complement the background, skills, and experience of other Directors and will contribute to the Board. There are no differences in the manner in which the Governance Committee evaluates nominees for trustees based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder. Candidates are expected to provide a mix of attributes, experience, perspective and skills necessary to effectively advance the interests of shareholders.

(c) Compensation.

Remuneration of the Officers and Directors. The officers and the interested Director of the Fund, who are affiliated with the Manager, receive no salary or fee from the Fund. The Independent Directors’ and Mr. Reynolds’ compensation from the Fund, shown below, is for serving as a Director and member of a committee (if applicable), with respect to the Fund’s fiscal year ended April 30, 2009. The total compensation from the Fund and fund complex represents compensation for serving as a Director and member of a committee (if applicable) of the Boards of the Fund and other funds in the OppenheimerFunds complex during the calendar year ended December 31, 2008.

A similar plan with respect to the Non-Board I Funds was frozen effective December 31, 2007.

Retirement Plan for Directors. The Board I Funds adopted a retirement plan that provides for payments to retired Independent Directors. Payments are up to 80% of the average compensation paid during a Director’s five years of service in which the highest compensation was received. A Director must serve as director or trustee for any of the Board I Funds for at least seven years to be eligible for retirement plan benefits and must serve for at least 15 years to be eligible for the maximum benefit. The Board has frozen the retirement plan with respect to new accruals as of December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”). Each Director continuing to serve on the Board of any of the Board I Funds after the Freeze Date (each such Director a “Continuing Board Member”) may elect to have his accrued benefit as of that date (i.e., an amount equivalent to the actuarial present value of his benefit under the retirement plan as of the Freeze Date) (i) paid at once or over time, (ii) rolled into the Compensation Deferral Plan described below, or (iii) in the case of Continuing Board Members having at least 7 years of service as of the Freeze Date paid in the form of an annual benefit or joint and survivor annual benefit. The Board determined to freeze the retirement plan after considering a recent trend among corporate boards of directors to forego retirement plan payments in favor of current compensation.
 

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

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

(d) Sales Loads. Not applicable.
 

(e) Codes of Ethics.
 

The Fund, the Manager and the Placement Agent 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 Internal Revenue 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 Internal Revenue 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.
 

(f) Proxy Voting Policies.
 

n     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”). The Manager 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 .

Item 19. Investment Advisory and Other Services.
 
The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with Item 10 in the Fund’s Part A and Item 17 in this Part B.
 
(a) Investment Advisers.
 
The Manager is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a holding company controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, a global, diversified insurance and financial services organization.

 

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 investments for the Fund’s portfolio and handles its day-to-day business. The portfolio manager of the Fund is employed by the Manager and is the person who is principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. Other members of the Manager's Global Equity Portfolio Team provide the portfolio manager with counsel and support in managing 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 Directors, 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 management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager during the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception to April 30, 2008 and the Fund’s first full fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 were:

Management Fees Paid to OppenheimerFunds, Inc.

2008

$8,567

2009

$728,506

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 sustained by the Fund by reason of good faith errors or omissions 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 Placement Agent, and certain mutual funds ("Defendant Funds") advised by the Manager and distributed by the Placement Agent – excluding the Fund. The complaints naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The complaints against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging 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 has been brought in state court against the Manager, the Placement Agent and another subsidiary of the Manager (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the Oregon College Savings Plan Trust. The complaint alleges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seeks compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.
 

Other complaints have been filed in 2008 and 2009 in state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those complaints relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm ("Madoff") and 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 Placement Agent, 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 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 Placement Agent 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.

(b) Principal Underwriter.
 

Under its Placement Agent’s Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager, acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous offering of the Fund’s shares. The Placement Agent 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 Placement Agent is not obligated to sell a specific number of shares. The Placement Agent also distributes shares of the other Oppenheimer funds and is sub-distributor for funds managed by a subsidiary of the Manager.

(h) Other Services Providers.
 

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 Custodian. Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. 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 250,000 are not protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The FDIC protected amount will fall to $100,000 on January 1, 2014 unless the higher limit is extended by legislation. Those uninsured balances at times may be substantial.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. 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.
 

Item 20. Portfolio Managers.
 

(a) Other Accounts Managed.
 

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 the other portfolios and accounts managed by the Portfolio Manager as of April 30, 2009. No account has a performance-based advisory fee:

1. In millions.
2. Does not include personal accounts of the portfolio manager and his family, which are subject to the Code of Ethics.

As indicated above, the Portfolio Manager also manages other funds 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 fund or account 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 or account having similar objectives or strategies, or he may need to execute transactions for another fund 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 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 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 Manager 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 different 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.

(b) Compensation.

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 and 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 April 30, 2009 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 the 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. The Lipper benchmark with respect to the Fund is Lipper – International Funds. 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 the other funds and accounts currently managed by the Portfolio Manager is the same as the compensation structure of the Fund, described above.

(c) Ownership of Securities.
 

As of April 30, 2009, the Portfolio Manager did not beneficially own any shares of the Fund.

Item 21. Brokerage Allocations and Other Practices.
 

(a) Brokerage Transactions.
 

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 Directors.
 

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.
 

Transactions in securities other than those for which an exchange is the primary market are generally done with principals or market makers. In transactions on foreign exchanges, the Fund may be required to pay fixed brokerage commissions and therefore would not have the benefit of negotiated commissions that are available in U.S. markets. Brokerage commissions are paid primarily for transactions in listed securities or for certain fixed-income agency transactions executed in the secondary market. Otherwise, brokerage commissions are paid only if it appears likely that a better price or execution can be obtained by doing so. In an option transaction, the Fund ordinarily uses the same broker for the purchase or sale of the option and any transaction in the securities to which the option relates.
 

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 Directors 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 Placement Agent 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 Directors 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 Directors 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 April 30, 2008 and 2009, the Fund paid the total brokerage commissions indicated in the chart below. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009, the Fund paid $104,593 in commissions to firms that provide brokerage and research services to the Fund with respect to $135,059,001 of aggregate portfolio transactions. All such transactions were on a "best execution" basis, as described above. The provision of research services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all such transactions.

Item 22. Capital Stock and Other Securities.
 

(a) Capital Stock.
 
The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with Item 10(b) and Item 11 in the Fund’s Part A. Under the Fund’s Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Directors are authorized to issue shares. Investors are entitled to participate equally in accordance with their pro rata interest in the assets of the Fund. Upon liquidation or dissolution, investors are entitled to share in proportion to their investment in the Fund’s net assets available for distribution to investors. Interests in the Fund have no preference, preemptive, conversion or similar rights and when issued will be fully paid and nonassessable. Investments in the Fund generally may not be transferred.
 
Each investor is entitled to vote in proportion to the amount of its interest in the Fund. Investors in the Fund do not have cumulative voting rights, and investors holding more than 50% of the aggregate beneficial interests in the Fund may elect all of the Directors if they choose to do so and in such event the other investors in the Fund would not be able to elect any Director. The Fund is not required and has no current intention to hold annual meetings of investors but the Fund will hold special meetings of investors when in the judgment of the Directors it is necessary or desirable to submit matters for an investor vote or when required by the Investment Company Act.
 
Shareholders have the right, upon a vote or declaration in writing of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Fund, to remove a Director or, subject to the applicable vote, to take other action described in the Fund’s Limited Liability Company Agreement. The Directors will call a meeting of shareholders to vote on the removal of a Director upon the written request of the record holders of 10% of its outstanding shares. If the Directors receive a request from at least 10 shareholders stating that they wish to communicate with other shareholders regarding a proposal to remove a Director, the Directors 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 Directors may also take other action as permitted by the Investment Company Act.

The Fund’s Limited Liability Company Agreement contains an express disclaimer of shareholder or Director liability for the Fund’s obligations. The Fund’s contractual arrangements state that any person doing business with the Fund (and each shareholder of the Fund) agrees under its Limited Liability Company Agreement 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. 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 Limited Liability Company Agreement 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.

(b) Other Securities. Not applicable.
 

Item 23. Purchase, Redemption, and Pricing of Shares.
 
The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with Item 11 in Part A of this Registration Statement.
 

(a) Purchase of Shares.
 
Shares of the Fund are issued solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Investments in the Fund may only be made by certain “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, including other investment companies. This Statement of Additional Information does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any “security” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
 
There is no minimum initial or subsequent investment in the Fund. The Fund reserves the right to stop accepting investments from any investor or to reject any investment order.
 

(b) Fund Reorganizations. Not applicable.
 

(c) Offering Price.
 

Determination of Net Asset Value Per Share. The net asset value per share of Shares of the Fund are determined as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day that the NYSE is open. The calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets by the number of shares 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 Statement of Additional Information 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 value will not be calculated on those days, the Fund’s net asset value 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 value 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 Directors 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 Directors, 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 Directors 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 Directors 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 Directors. 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 Directors 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.

(d) Redemption in Kind. Not applicable.
 

(e) Arrangements Permitting Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Fund Shares. Not applicable.
 

Item 24. Taxation of the Fund.
 

The Fund is treated as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and, thus, is not subject to income tax. Based upon the status of the Fund as a partnership, each investor in the Fund takes into account its share of the Fund’s ordinary income, capital gain, losses, deductions and credits in determining its income tax liability. The determination of such share is made in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Trust’s fiscal year end is April 30. Although the Fund will not be subject to Federal income tax, it will file appropriate Federal income tax returns. The Fund’s fiscal year end is based on the fiscal year end of the majority of investors.


Even though the Fund is treated as a partnership for Federal tax purposes, it is intended that the Fund’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that investment in the Fund would not cause an investor that is a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
to fail that qualification.


Certain transactions of the Fund are subject to special tax rules of the Internal Revenue Code
that may, among other things (a) affect the character of gains and losses realized, (b) disallow, suspend or otherwise limit the allowance of certain losses or deductions, and (c) accelerate the recognition of income without a corresponding receipt of cash (with which to make the necessary distributions to satisfy distribution requirements applicable to RICs). Operation of these rules could, therefore, affect the character, amount and timing of distributions to investors. Special tax rules also will require the Fund to mark-to-market certain types of positions held (i.e. treat them as sold on the last day of the taxable year), and may result in the recognition of income without a corresponding receipt of cash. The Fund intends to monitor transactions, make appropriate tax elections and make appropriate entries in its books and records to lessen the effect of these tax rules and avoid any possible disqualification of the investors for the special treatment afforded RICs under the Internal Revenue Code.
If the Fund purchases shares of an investment company (or similar investment entity) organized under foreign law, an investor, by virtue of its ownership of the Fund’s beneficial interests, will generally be treated as owning shares in a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. The investors in the Fund may be subject to U.S. Federal income tax, and an interest charge (at the rate applicable to tax underpayments) on tax liability treated as having been deferred with respect to certain distributions from such a company and on gain from the disposition of the shares of such a company (collectively referred to as “excess distributions”), even if such excess distributions are paid by such investor as a dividend to its shareholders. However, an election can be made to “mark to market” at the end of each taxable year all the shares treated as held in a PFIC. If this election were made, an investor would recognize as ordinary income its share of any increase in the value of such shares held by the Fund as of the close of the taxable year over their adjusted tax basis and as ordinary loss any decrease in such value but only to the extent of previously recognized “mark-to-market” gains. With the mark-to-market election, an investor could avoid imposition of the interest charge with respect to excess distributions from PFICs, but in any particular year might be required to recognize income in excess of the distributions received from PFICs.


The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by foreign countries on dividend or interest income received from securities of foreign issuers. The United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries which may entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of tax or exemption from tax on such income. It is impossible to determine the effective rate of foreign tax in advance since the amount of the Fund’s assets to be invested within various countries is not known.


Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisers as to the tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.

Item 25. Underwriters.
 

(a) Distribution of Securities.
 
Under its Placement Agent’s Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager, acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous offering of the Fund’s shares. The Placement Agent 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 Placement Agent is not obligated to sell a specific number of shares. The Placement Agent also distributes shares of the other Oppenheimer funds and is sub-distributor for funds managed by a subsidiary of the Manager. Because the Fund’s shares are sold without an initial sales charge or redemption charge, the Placement Agent will receive no sales charges or concessions from the sale of shares or any other charges from the redemption of shares.

(b) Compensation. Not applicable.
 

(c) Other Payments. Not applicable.
 

Item 26. Calculation of Performance Data.
 
Not applicable.
 

Item 27. Financial Statements.
 
The audited financial statements of the Fund, including the report of the independent registered public accounting firm, are set forth below.

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Master International Value Fund, LLC:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Master International Value Fund, LLC, including the statement of investments, as of April 30, 2009, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from February 28, 2008 (commencement of operations) to April 30, 2008. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 Oppenheimer Master International Value Fund, LLC as of April 30, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from February 28, 2008 (commencement of operations) to April 30, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
  1)   Level 1–quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
 
  2)   Level 2–inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
 
  3)   Level 3–unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of April 30, 2009:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Master International Value Fund, LLC (the “Fund”), was organized as a Delaware limited liability company and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end, management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     Shares of the Fund are issued solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Investments in the Fund may only be made by “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, including other investment companies. The Fund currently offers one class of shares.
     For federal income tax purposes, the Fund qualifies as a partnership, and each investor in the Fund is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Fund. Accordingly, as a “pass-through” entity, the Fund pays no dividends or capital gain distributions.
     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.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
     Securities are valued using quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Directors or dealers. These securities are typically classified within Level 1 or 2; however, they may be designated as Level 3 if the dealer or portfolio pricing service values a security through an internal model with significant unobservable market data inputs.
     Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior

to the time when the Fund’s 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 current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
     Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
     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 are 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 (amortized cost), which approximates market value. These securities are typically designated as Level 2.
     In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Directors (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
     Fair valued securities may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Securities Sold Short. The Fund sells securities that it does not own, and it will therefore be obligated to purchase such securities at a future date. Upon entering into a short position, the Fund is required to segregate securities at its custodian with a value equal to a

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
certain percentage of the value of the securities that it sold short. Securities that have been segregated for this purpose are disclosed as such in the Statement of Investments. The value of the open short position is recorded as a liability, and the Fund records an unrealized gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the change in value of the open short position. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when the short position is closed out. By entering into short sales, the Fund bears the market risk of increases in value of the security sold short in excess of the proceeds received. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay the lender any dividend or interest earned. Dividend expense on short sales is treated as an expense in the Statement of Operations.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s 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 Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Investments With Off-Balance Sheet Market Risk. The Fund enters into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Use of Leverage. Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.
Federal Taxes. The Fund, as an entity, will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Fund will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, and not as an association taxable as a corporation. Therefore, a tax provision is not required. Each member is required for U.S. federal income tax purposes to take into account, in its taxable year with which (or within which a taxable year of the Fund ends), its distributive share of all items of Fund income, gains, losses, and deductions for such taxable year of the Fund. A member must take such items into account even if the Fund does not distribute cash or other property to such member during its taxable year.
     Although the Fund is treated as a partnership for Federal tax purposes, it is intended that the Fund’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that investment in the Fund would not cause an investor that is a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code (“RIC”) to fail that qualification.
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 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 Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

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 April 30, 2009, were as follows:
                 
    Purchases     Sales  
 
Investment securities
  $ 232,508,648     $ 88,825,377  
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate of 0.85%.
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 April 30, 2009, the Fund paid no fees to OFS for services to the Fund.
Offering and Organizational Costs. The Manager paid all initial offering and organizational costs associated with the registration and seeding of the Fund.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective September 1, 2008, the Manager will voluntarily waive a portion of the Fund’s advisory fee so that the effective advisory fee rate for the Fund will not exceed the combined effective advisory fee and administrative fee rates of Oppenheimer Quest International Value Fund, Inc. measured as of the last business day of the prior month. As of April 30, 2009, the Manager waived $6,170. This voluntary waiver may be withdrawn 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 Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended April 30, 2009, the Manager waived $4,998 for IMMF management fees.
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
     Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts Continued close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
     Risks to the Fund include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received.
6. Illiquid Securities
As of April 30, 2009, 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 15% 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.
7. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
8. Pending Litigation
During 2009, a number of complaints have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain of the funds in the Oppenheimer family of funds (the “Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor. The complaints naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The complaints against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging 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. Additionally, a complaint has been brought in state court

against the Manager, the Distributor and another subsidiary of the Manager (but not the Fund), on behalf of the Oregon College Savings Plan Trust. The complaint alleges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seeks compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
     Other complaints have been filed in 2008 and 2009 in state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those complaints relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff ”) and 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 Trustees named in those suits. The Manager believes that it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to it and that no estimate can be made with any degree of certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss. The Manager also believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund.

Appendix A
 
RATINGS DEFINITIONS

Below are summaries of the rating definitions used by the Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations ("NRSROs") listed below. Those ratings represent the opinion of the NRSRO as to the credit quality of issues that they rate. The summaries below are based upon publicly available information provided by the NRSROs.

     

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")

Long-Term Ratings: Bonds and Preferred Stock Issuer Ratings

Aaa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Aaa" are judged to be the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk. Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, the changes that can be expected are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.
 

Aa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the "Aaa" group, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as with "Aaa" securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risk appear somewhat larger than that of "Aaa" securities.
 

A: Bonds and preferred stock rated "A" possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future.
 

Baa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Baa" are considered medium-grade obligations; that is, they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics as well.
 

Ba: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative elements. Their future cannot be considered well-assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.
 

B: Bonds and preferred stock rated "B" generally lack characteristics of the desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.
 

Caa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Caa" are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.

Ca: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Ca" represent obligations which are speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.
 

C: Bonds and preferred stock rated "C" are the lowest class of rated bonds and can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.
 
Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating classification from "Aa" through "Caa." The modifier "1" indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier "2" indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Advanced refunded issues that are secured by certain assets are identified with a # symbol.

Prime Rating System (Short-Term Ratings – Taxable Debt)

These ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to honor senior financial obligations and contracts. Such obligations generally have an original maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

Prime-1: Issuer has a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations.
 

Prime-2: Issuer has a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
 

Prime-3: Issuer has an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.
 

Not Prime: Issuer does not fall within any Prime rating category.

Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings

Issue credit ratings are based in varying degrees, on the following considerations:

·     

Likelihood of payment-capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation;


·     

Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and

·     Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.

The issue ratings definitions are expressed in terms of default risk. As such, they pertain to senior obligations of an entity. Junior obligations are typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority in bankruptcy, as noted above.

AAA: An obligation rated "AAA" has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong.

AA: An obligation rated "AA" differs from the highest rated obligations only in small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.
 

A: An obligation rated "A" is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.
 

BBB: An obligation rated "BBB" exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
 

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C: Obligations rated "BB," "B," "CCC," "CC," and "C" are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. "BB" indicates the least degree of speculation and "C" the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

BB: An obligation rated "BB" is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, they face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
 

B: An obligation rated "B" is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated "BB," but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

CCC: An obligation rated "CCC" is currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

CC: An obligation rated "CC" is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C: Subordinated debt or preferred stock obligations rated "C" are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The "C" rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or similar action taken, but payments on this obligation are being continued. A "C" also will be assigned to a preferred stock issue in arrears on dividends or sinking fund payments, but that is currently paying.
 
D: An obligation rated "D" is in payment default. The "D" rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The "D" rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.
 

The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

c: The "c" subscript is used to provide additional information to investors that the bank may terminate its obligation to purchase tendered bonds if the long-term credit rating of the issuer is below an investment-grade level and/or the issuer's bonds are deemed taxable.

p: The letter "p" indicates that the rating is provisional. A provisional rating assumes the successful completion of the project financed by the debt being rated and indicates that payment of debt service requirements is largely or entirely dependent upon the successful, timely completion of the project. This rating, however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to completion of the project, makes no comment on the likelihood of or the risk of default upon failure of such completion. The investor should exercise his own judgment with respect to such likelihood and risk.

Continuance of the ratings is contingent upon Standard & Poor's receipt of an executed copy of the escrow agreement or closing documentation confirming investments and cash flows.

r: The "r" highlights derivative, hybrid, and certain other obligations that Standard & Poor's believes may experience high volatility or high variability in expected returns as a result of noncredit risks. Examples of such obligations are securities with principal or interest return indexed to equities, commodities, or currencies; certain swaps and options; and interest-only and principal-only mortgage securities. The absence of an "r" symbol should not be taken as an indication that an obligation will exhibit no volatility or variability in total return.

N.R. Not rated. 

Debt obligations of issuers outside the United States and its territories are rated on the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal issues. The ratings measure the creditworthiness of the obligor but do not take into account currency exchange and related uncertainties.

Bond Investment Quality Standards

Under present commercial bank regulations issued by the Comptroller of the Currency, bonds rated in the top four categories ("AAA," "AA," "A," and "BBB," commonly known as investment-grade ratings) generally are regarded as eligible for bank investment. Also, the laws of various states governing legal investments impose certain rating or other standards for obligations eligible for investment by savings banks, trust companies, insurance companies, and fiduciaries in general
 

Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings

Short-term ratings are generally assigned to those obligations considered short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365 days-including commercial paper.

A-1: A short-term obligation rated "A-1" is rated in the highest category by Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.
 

A-2: A short-term obligation rated "A-2" is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.
 

A-3: A short-term obligation rated "A-3" exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
 

B: A short-term obligation rated "B" is regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
 

C: A short-term obligation rated "C" is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

D: A short-term obligation rated "D" is in payment default. The "D" rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The "D" rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

Notes:
A Standard & Poor's note rating reflects the liquidity factors and market access risks unique to notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most likely receive a long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used in making that assessment:

·     

Amortization schedule - the larger the final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will
be treated as a note; and


·     

Source of payment - the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely
it will be treated as a note.

SP-1: Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue with a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a (+) designation.
 

SP-2: Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.
 

SP-3: Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.
 

Fitch, Inc.

International credit ratings assess the capacity to meet foreign currency or local currency commitments. Both "foreign currency" and "local currency" ratings are internationally comparable assessments. The local currency rating measures the probability of payment within the relevant sovereign state's currency and jurisdiction and therefore, unlike the foreign currency rating, does not take account of the possibility of foreign exchange controls limiting transfer into foreign currency.
 

International Long-Term Credit Ratings

The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency ratings.

Investment Grade:

AAA: Highest Credit Quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
 

AA: Very High Credit Quality. "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk. They indicate a very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
 

A: High Credit Quality. "A" ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

BBB: Good Credit Quality. "BBB" ratings indicate that there is currently a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the lowest investment-grade category.

Speculative Grade:

BB: Speculative. "BB" ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over time. However, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not investment-grade.
 

B: Highly Speculative. "B" ratings indicate that significant credit risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met. However, capacity for continued payment is contingent upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

CCC, CC, and C: High Default Risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable business or economic developments. A "CC" rating indicates that default of some kind appears probable. "C" ratings signal imminent default.
 

DDD, DD, and D: Default. The ratings of obligations in this category are based on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a reorganization or liquidation of the obligor. While expected recovery values are highly speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the following serve as general guidelines. "DDD" obligations have the highest potential for recovery, around 90%-100% of outstanding amounts and accrued interest. "DD" indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%, and "D" the lowest recovery potential, i.e., below 50%.
 

Entities rated in this category have defaulted on some or all of their obligations. Entities rated "DDD" have the highest prospect for resumption of performance or continued operation with or without a formal reorganization process. Entities rated "DD" and "D" are generally undergoing a formal reorganization or liquidation process; those rated "DD" are likely to satisfy a higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated "D" have a poor prospect for repaying all obligations.
 
Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating symbol to denote relative status within the major rating categories. Plus and minus signs are not added to the "AAA" category or to categories below "CCC," nor to short-term ratings other than "F1" (see below).

International Short-Term Credit Ratings

The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency ratings. A short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 12 months for most obligations, or up to three years for U.S. public finance securities, and thus places greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet financial commitments in a timely manner.

F1: Highest credit quality. Strongest capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. May have an added "+" to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature. 

F2: Good credit quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case of higher ratings.
 

F3: Fair credit quality. Capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate. However, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction to non-investment-grade.
 

B: Speculative. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
 

C: High default risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

D: Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
