ABOUT THE FUND


The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies


WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks capital appreciation.


WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN? The Fund may invest mainly in common stocks
of different  capitalization  ranges.  The Fund also can buy other  investments,
including:

o Preferred stocks, rights and warrants and convertible debt securities, and

o Securities of U.S. and foreign companies.

HOW DOES  THE  PORTFOLIO  MANAGER  DECIDE  WHAT  SECURITIES  TO BUY OR SELL?  In
selecting  securities  for  purchase or sale by the Fund,  the Fund's  portfolio
manager,  who is employed by  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc. (the  "Manager"),  selects
securities  one at a time.  This is called a "bottom up approach." The portfolio
manager uses a fundamental  analysis to select  securities  for the Fund that he
believes are undervalued.  While this process and the  inter-relationship of the
factors used may change over time and its  implementation may vary in particular
cases,  the portfolio  manager  currently  considers the following  factors when
assessing a company's business prospects:  Future  supply/demand  conditions for
its key products,

o        Product cycles,
o        Quality of management,
o        Competitive position in the market place,
o        Reinvestment plans for cash generated, and
         Better-than-expected earnings reports.
         Not all factors are relevant for every individual security.

The  portfolio  manager  may  consider  selling  a stock  for one or more of the
following reasons:

o        The stock price has reached its target,
o        The company's fundamentals appear to be deteriorating, or
o        Better stock selections are believed to have been identified.


WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed for investors seeking capital
appreciation in their  investment over the long term.  Those investors should be
willing to assume the risks of  short-term  share  price  fluctuations  that are
typical for a fund emphasizing common stock investments. Since the Fund does not
seek  income and its  income  from  investing  will  likely be small,  it is not
designed for investors  needing an assured level of current  income.  Because of
its focus on long-term  growth,  the Fund may be appropriate  for a portion of a
retirement plan investment. The Fund is not a complete investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund


     All investments have risks to some degree. The Fund's investments in stocks
and bonds are  subject  to  changes  in their  value  from a number of  factors,
described  below.  There is also the risk that poor  security  selection  by the
Manager  will  cause  the Fund to  underperform  other  funds  having a  similar
objective.  As an example, the portfolio manager's "value" approach to investing
could result in fewer Fund  investments  in stocks that become  highly valued by
the marketplace during times of rapid market advances. This could cause the Fund
to  underperform  other funds that seek capital  appreciation  but that employ a
growth or non-value approach to investing.


RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCKS.  Stocks  fluctuate in price,  and their short-term
volatility  at  times  may be  great.  Because  the  Fund  currently  emphasizes
investments  in stocks  and other  equity  securities,  the value of the  Fund's
portfolio  will be affected by changes in the stock markets in which it invests.
Market  risk will  affect  the Fund's  net asset  values  per share,  which will
fluctuate as the values of the Fund's portfolio  securities change. A variety of
factors can affect the price of a particular  stock and 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 invests mainly in securities of companies  with  medium-size
capitalizations  and larger.  It can also invest in small  companies,  which may
have more volatile stock prices than larger companies.

Industry  Focus.  At times the Fund may increase  the  relative  emphasis of its
investments in a particular industry. Stocks of issuers in a particular industry
may be  affected  by changes in  economic  conditions,  government  regulations,
availability  of basic  resources or supplies,  or other events that affect that
industry more than others. To the extent that the Fund increases the emphasis of
its  investments  in a particular  industry,  its share values may  fluctuate in
response to events affecting that industry.

     HOW RISKY IS THE FUND OVERALL?  The risks described above collectively form
the  overall  risk  profile of the Fund,  and can affect the value of the Fund's
investments,  its  investment  performance  and its price per share.  Particular
investments and investment strategies also have risks. These risks mean that you
can lose money by investing in the Fund.  When you redeem 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.  In the short term,  the stock
markets can be volatile,  and the price of the Fund's  shares can go up and down
substantially.  The Fund generally does not use  income-oriented  investments to
help  cushion the Fund's  total  return  from  changes in stock  prices.  In the
OppenheimerFunds  spectrum, the Fund is more conservative than aggressive growth
stock  funds,  but has  greater  risks than funds that invest in both stocks and
bonds or in investment-grade debt securities.

An  investment  in the Fund is not a deposit  of any bank and is not  insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation or any other government
agency.

The Fund's Past Performance

The bar chart and table below show one measure of the risks of  investing in the
Fund, by showing changes in the Fund's performance (for its Class A shares) from
year to year for the last 10  calendar  years  and by  showing  how the  average
annual total returns of the Fund's shares, both before and after taxes,  compare
to those of a  broad-based  market index.  The  after-tax  returns for the other
classes of shares will vary.


     The after-tax  returns are shown for Class A shares only and are calculated
using the historical  highest  individual  federal  marginal income tax rates in
effect during the periods shown, and do not reflect the impact of state or local
taxes.  [In  certain  cases,  the figure  representing  "Return  After  Taxes on
Distributions  and Sale of Fund  Shares"  may be higher  than the  other  return
figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return may result when a capital
loss occurs upon  redemption and  translates  into an assumed tax deduction that
benefits the shareholder.] The after-tax returns are calculated based on certain
assumptions  mandated by regulation and your actual after-tax returns may differ
from those shown,  depending on your  individual  tax  situation.  The after-tax
returns set forth below are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares
through   tax-deferred   arrangements  such  as  401(k)  plans  or  IRAs  or  to
institutional   investors  not  subject  to  tax.  The  Fund's  past  investment
performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future.


Annual  Total  Returns  (Class  A) (as of 12/31  each  year)  [See  appendix  to
prospectus for data in bar chart showing the annual total return]


Sales charges and taxes are not included in the  calculations  of return in this
bar chart, and if those charges and taxes were included, the returns may be less
than those shown.  During the period shown in the bar chart,  the highest return
(not annualized)  before taxes for a calendar quarter was _____%  (________) and
the lowest  return  (not  annualized)  before  taxes for a calendar  quarter was
_____% (-------).

The Fund's average annual total returns include  applicable  sales charges:  for
Class A, the current  maximum  initial  sales charge of 5.75%;  for Class B, the
contingent deferred sales charges of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year);  and for Class
C and Class N, the 1% contingent  deferred  sales charge for the 1-year  period.
There is no sales charge for Class Y shares.  Because Class B shares  convert to
Class A shares 72 months after  purchase,  Class B  "life-of-class"  performance
does  not  include  any  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  and  uses  Class A
performance for the period after conversion. The returns measure the performance
of a  hypothetical  account and assume  that all  dividends  and  capital  gains
distributions  have been reinvested in additional shares. The performance of the
Fund's  shares is compared to the S&P 500 Index,  an  unmanaged  index of equity
securities.  The index performance includes  reinvestment of income but does not
reflect  transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund's investments will
vary from those in the index.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund


The following  tables are provided to help you  understand the fees and expenses
you may pay if you buy and hold  shares of the Fund.  The Fund pays a variety of
expenses directly for management of its assets, administration,  distribution of
its shares and other  services.  Those expenses are  subtracted  from the Fund's
assets to  calculate  the Fund's net asset  values per share.  All  shareholders
therefore pay those  expenses  indirectly.  Shareholders  pay other  transaction
expenses  directly,  such as sales  charges.  The numbers below are based on the
Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.

may apply to  redemptions  of  investments  of $1 million or more  ($500,000 for
certain retirement plan accounts) of Class A shares. See "How to Buy Shares" for
details.

2. Applies to redemptions in first year after purchase.  The contingent deferred
sales charge  declines  from 5% to 1% in years one through six and is eliminated
after that.

3. Applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

4.  Applies to shares  redeemed  within 18 months of a  retirement  plan's first
purchase of Class N shares.


Effective  January 1, 2005 the  management  fee schedule is revised as described
below  in  "How  the  Fund  is  Managed  - The  Manager  - The  Manager's  Fee."
"Management  Fees" in the table above  assume that the  revised  management  fee
schedule,  effective  January 1, 2005,  was in effect for the Fund's fiscal year
ended  October 31,  2004.  During the fiscal year ended  October 31,  2004,  the
actual management fees were ____% for each class of shares and the "Total Annual
Operating  Expenses"  were _____% for Class A shares,  ____% for Class B shares,
______%  for  Class C shares,  ____%  for  Class N shares  and ____% for Class Y
shares.


Effective January 1, 2003, the Board set the Class A asset-based sales charge to
zero  resulting  in a 12b-1 fee of 0.25%.  Prior to that date,  the  asset-based
sales charge was 0.10% (as to Class A shares purchased on and after September 1,
1993) and 0.15% (as to Class A shares  purchased prior to September 1, 1993), in
each case on average annual net assets  representing Class A shares of the Fund.
For the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 the actual 12b-1 fee was 0.26%
for Class A shares.  The Board of Directors can set the rate of the  asset-based
sales charge on Class A shares up to 0.25% of average annual net assets.

Expenses may vary in future years. "Other expenses" include transfer agent fees,
custodial  fees,  and  accounting  and legal  expenses  that the Fund pays.  The
Transfer  Agent has  voluntarily  undertaken  to the Fund to limit the  transfer
agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes.
That  undertaking  may be amended or  withdrawn  at any time  without  notice to
shareholders.  For the Fund's fiscal year ended  October 31, 2004,  the transfer
agent fees did not exceed the  expense  limitation  described  above for Class A
shares.

EXAMPLES.  The  following  examples are intended to help you compare the cost of
investing  in the Fund with the cost of investing  in other  mutual  funds.  The
examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for the
time periods indicated and reinvest your dividends and distributions.

     The first example  assumes that you redeem all of your shares at the end of
those  periods.  The second  example  assumes  that you keep your  shares.  Both
examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
class's  operating  expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be higher or
lower because  expenses  will vary over time.  Based on these  assumptions  your
expenses would be as follows:

------------------------------------ --------------------- -------------------- ------------------ -------------------
If shares are redeemed:              1 Year                3 Years              5 Years            10 Years

Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase.

About the Fund's Investments

THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS. The allocation of the Fund's
portfolio among  different  types of investments  will vary over time based upon
the evaluation of economic and market  trends.  The Fund's  portfolio  might not
always  include all of the  different  types of  investments  described  in this
Prospectus.  The  Statement of  Additional  Information  contains  more detailed
information about the Fund's investment policies and risks.

     The  Manager  tries to reduce  risks by  carefully  researching  securities
before they are purchased and by diversifying the Fund's investments. That means
the Fund does not hold a substantial  percentage of the stock of any one company
and does not invest too great a percentage of its assets in any one issuer. Also
under normal market conditions, the Fund does not concentrate 25% or more of its
investments in any one industry.

     However,  changes in the overall market prices of securities and the income
they pay can occur at any time.  The share price of the Fund will  change  daily
based on changes in market prices of securities  and market  conditions,  and in
response to other economic events.


Stock  Investments.  The Fund invests  primarily in a  diversified  portfolio of
common stocks of issuers that may be of small,  medium or large  capitalization,
to seek  capital  growth.  The  Fund can  invest  in  other  equity  securities,
including preferred stocks, rights and warrants, and securities convertible into
common  stock.  The  Fund can buy  securities  issued  by  domestic  or  foreign
companies.

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 interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred  stocks may
be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. While many
convertible  securities are debt securities,  the Manager considers some of them
to be "equity  equivalents" because of their conversion feature. In these cases,
their credit rating has less impact on the investment  decision than in the case
of other debt securities.  Convertible securities are subject to credit risk and
interest rate risk, discussed below.

The Fund can buy convertible  securities rated as low as "B" by Moody's Investor
Services,  Inc. or Standard & Poor's Rating Service 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.  These investments are subject to the Fund's policy of not investing
more than 10% of its net assets in debt securities.

Foreign  Investing.  The Fund can buy  foreign  securities  that are listed on a
domestic   or  foreign   stock   exchange,   traded  in   domestic   or  foreign
over-the-counter  markets,  or  represented  by  American  Depository  Receipts.
Foreign  investing has special risks,  described  below.  The Fund can invest in
emerging markets which have greater risks than developed  markets,  such as less
developed trading markets and possibly less liquidity,  unstable governments and
economies,  and greater risks of  nationalization  and  restrictions  on foreign
ownership,   making  these   investments   more   volatile  than  other  foreign
investments.  The Fund will hold foreign currency only in connection with buying
and selling foreign securities.

Risks of Foreign  Investing.  The Fund can buy securities issued by companies in
developed  and  underdeveloped  countries.  While  the Fund has no limits on the
amounts  it can  invest in foreign  securities,  normally  it does not expect to
invest substantial  amounts of its assets in foreign  securities.  While foreign
securities may offer special  investment  opportunities,  there are also special
risks.

The 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.  Foreign issuers are not subject to the same accounting and disclosure
requirements  that  U.S.   companies  are  subject  to.  The  value  of  foreign
investments may be affected by exchange  control  regulations,  expropriation or
nationalization  of a company's assets,  foreign taxes,  delays in settlement of
transactions, changes in governmental economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or
abroad, or other political and economic factors.

CAN THE FUND'S  INVESTMENT  OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES  CHANGE?  The Fund's Board of
Directors can change  non-fundamental  investment  policies without  shareholder
approval,  although  significant changes will be described in amendments to this
Prospectus.  Fundamental  policies  cannot be changed  without the approval of a
majority of the Fund's  outstanding  voting  shares.  The Fund's  objective is a
fundamental policy. Other investment  restrictions that are fundamental policies
are listed in the Statement of Additional  Information.  An investment policy is
not   fundamental   unless  this  Prospectus  or  the  Statement  of  Additional
Information says that it is.

OTHER INVESTMENT  STRATEGIES.  To seek its objective,  the Fund may also use the
investment  techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not always
use all of them. These techniques have certain risks, although some are designed
to help reduce overall investment or market risks.

Debt  Securities.  The Fund can also  invest  in debt  securities,  such as U.S.
Government  securities and domestic  corporate bonds and debentures.  Short-term
debt  securities  can be selected  for  liquidity  pending the purchase of other
investments or to have cash to pay for redemptions of Fund shares.

The debt securities the Fund buys may be rated by nationally  recognized  rating
organizations or they may be unrated securities assigned an equivalent rating by
the Manager.  The Fund's investments in debt securities,  including  convertible
debt securities,  can be above or below investment grade in credit quality.  The
Fund is not  required to sell a security if its rating falls after the Fund buys
it. However, the Manager will monitor those investments to determine whether the
Fund  should  continue  to hold them.  Rating  definitions  of  national  rating
agencies are described in Appendix A to the Statement of Additional Information.

Money Market Instruments.  For liquidity  purposes,  the Fund can also invest in
"money  market  instruments."  These  include  U.S.  Government  securities  and
high-quality  corporate debt securities having a remaining  maturity of one year
or less. They also include  commercial  paper,  other short-term  corporate debt
obligations,  certificates  of  deposit,  bankers'  acceptances  and  repurchase
agreements.

Investing In Small,  Unseasoned Companies.  The Fund can invest up to 15% of its
total assets in securities of small,  unseasoned companies.  These are companies
that have been in continuous  operation for less than three years,  counting the
operations of any  predecessors.  These  securities may have limited  liquidity,
which means that the Fund could have  difficulty  selling them at an  acceptable
price when it wants to. Their  prices may be very  volatile,  especially  in the
short term.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities.  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.  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 10% of its net assets in illiquid or restricted securities. The
Board can increase that limit to 15%.  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.

Hedging.  The Fund may buy and sell certain kinds of futures contracts,  put and
call  options  and  forward  contracts.  These are all  referred  to as "hedging
instruments." In the broadest sense,  hedging instruments the Fund might use may
be  considered   "derivative   investments."  In  general  terms,  a  derivative
investment is an investment contract whose value depends on (or is derived from)
the  value of an  underlying  asset,  interest  rate or  index.  The Fund is not
required to use hedging instruments to seek its goal and does not make extensive
use of them.

Some of  these  strategies  would  hedge  the  Fund's  portfolio  against  price
fluctuations. Other hedging strategies, such as buying futures and call options,
would tend to increase the Fund's exposure to the securities market.

Hedging  involves  risk.  If the Manager used a hedging  instrument at the wrong
time or judged market  conditions  incorrectly,  the hedge might be unsuccessful
and the strategy could reduce the Fund's returns. 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 for the future or option.  Options trading  involves the payment
of premiums and has special tax effects on the Fund.

Portfolio  Turnover.  A change  in the  securities  held by the Fund is known as
"portfolio  turnover." The Fund can engage in active and frequent trading to try
to achieve its  objective,  although the Manager does not expect  turnover to be
high.  Increased  portfolio  turnover  creates higher  brokerage and transaction
costs for the Fund (and may reduce  performance).  If the Fund realizes  capital
gains when it sells its portfolio investments, it must generally pay those gains
out to  shareholders,  increasing  their  taxable  distributions.  The Financial
Highlights  table  at the end of this  Prospectus  shows  the  Fund's  portfolio
turnover rates during prior fiscal years.

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

Loans of Portfolio  Securities.  The Fund has entered into a Securities  Lending
Agreement with JP Morgan Chase. Under that agreement portfolio securities of the
Fund may be loaned to brokers,  dealers and other  financial  institutions.  The
Securities   Lending   Agreement   provides   that  loans  must  be   adequately
collateralized  and may be made only in  conformity  with the Fund's  Securities
Lending Guidelines,  adopted by the Fund's Board of Directors.  The value of the
securities loaned may not exceed 25% of the value of the Fund's net assets.

PORTFOLIO   HOLDINGS.   The  Fund's  portfolio  holdings  are  included  in  the
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 makes  disclosures of the portfolio  securities  holdings in
Statement of Investments  under Form N-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission  (the  "SEC") no later  than 60 days after the close of the first and
third fiscal quarters. These additional quarterly filings are publicly available
at the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC.  Therefore,  portfolio
holdings of the Fund are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the
close of the Fund's fiscal quarter.


     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.

How the Fund Is Managed

THE MANAGER.  The Manager  supervises the Fund's investment  program and handles
its  day-to-day  business.  The Manager  carries out its duties,  subject to the
policies  established  by the Board of Directors,  under an investment  advisory
agreement  that states the Manager's  responsibilities.  The agreement  sets the
fees paid by the Fund to the Manager and  describes  the expenses  that the Fund
pays to conduct its business.  The Manager became the Fund's investment  advisor
on November 22, 1995, and assumed  responsibility  for day-to-day  management of
the Fund's portfolio, on January 1, 2005. From November 22, 1995 to December 31,
2004, the Manager had engaged OpCap Advisors as the Fund's sub-advisor.

     The Manager has been an investment  advisor since 1960. The Manager and its
subsidiaries and controlled  affiliates managed more than $___ billion in assets
as of December 31, 2004,  including other  Oppenheimer funds with more than ____
million  shareholder  accounts.  The  Manager is located at Two World  Financial
Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

The Manager's Fees. Under the investment advisory  agreement,  effective January
1,  2005,  the Fund pays the  Manager  an  advisory  fee at an annual  rate that
declines as the Fund's  assets grow:  0.75% of the first $200 million of average
annual net assets of the Fund, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next
$200 million,  0.66% of the next $200  million,  0.60% of the next $700 million,
0.58% of the next $1 billion and 0.56% of average annual net assets in excess of
$2.5  billion.  From  January 1, 2004  through  December  31,  2004,  the annual
advisory  fee rate was:  0.90% of the first $400  million of average  annual net
assets  of the  Fund,  0.85% of the next  $400  million,  0.80% of the next $400
million,  0.70% of the next $400  million,  0.65% of the next $400  million  and
0.60% of average  annual net assets in excess of $2 billion.  From June 15, 2003
through  December 31, 2003, the annual advisory fee rate was: 0.90% of the first
$400  million of average  annual net assets of the Fund,  0.85% of the next $600
million,  0.80% of the next $2 billion,  0.70% of the next $1 billion,  0.65% of
the next $1  billion  and 0.60% of  average  annual  net  assets in excess of $5
billion.  The Fund's  management  fee for its last fiscal year ended October 31,
2004 was ____% of average annual net assets for each class of shares.

Portfolio  Manager.  As of January 1, 2005, the portfolio manager of the Fund is
Christopher  Leavy. As of that date, he is the person primarily  responsible for
the day-to-day  management of the Fund's  portfolio.  Mr. Leavy is a Senior Vice
President  of the Manager,  Vice  President of the Fund and serves as an officer
and portfolio manager of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex. Prior
to joining the Manager in September  2000, Mr. Leavy was a portfolio  manager at
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Investment Management (from 1997).

PENDING  LITIGATION.  Six law suits have been filed as putative  derivative  and
class actions against the Fund's  investment  Manager,  Distributor and Transfer
Agent,  some of the  Oppenheimer  funds  including  the Fund,  and  Directors or
Trustees of some of those funds,  excluding  those of the Fund.  The  complaints
allege that the Manager charged excessive fees for distribution and other costs,
improperly  used  assets  of  the  funds  in  the  form  of  directed  brokerage
commissions and 12b-1 fees to pay brokers to promote sales of Oppenheimer funds,
and failed to properly disclose the use of fund assets to make those payments in
violation of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
The complaints  further allege that by permitting and/or  participating in those
actions,  the  defendant  Directors  breached  their  fiduciary  duties  to fund
shareholders under the Investment Company Act and at common law. Those law suits
were filed on August 31, 2004,  September 3, 2004, September 14, 2004, September
14, 2004,  September 21, 2004 and September 22, 2004, in the U.S. District Court
for the Southern  District of New York. By order dated  October 27, 2004,  these
six actions, and future related actions, were consolidated by the District Court
into a single  consolidated  proceeding  in  contemplation  of the  filing  of a
superceding  consolidated  and amended  complaint.  The present  complaints seek
unspecified  compensatory  and  punitive  damages,   rescission  of  the  funds'
investment advisory agreements,  an accounting of all fees paid, and an award of
attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.

     The Manager and the  Distributor  believe the claims  asserted in these law
suits to be  without  merit,  and  intend to defend  the suits  vigorously.  The
Manager and the  Distributor do not believe that the pending  actions are likely
to have a  material  adverse  effect on the Fund or on their  ability to perform
their respective investment advisory or distribution agreements with the Fund.



ABOUT your account

How to Buy Shares

You can buy shares  several ways, as described  below.  The Fund's  Distributor,
OppenheimerFunds  Distributor,  Inc.,  may  appoint  servicing  agents to accept
purchase (and redemption) orders. The Distributor,  in its sole discretion,  may
reject any purchase order for the Fund's shares.


Buying Shares Through Your Dealer. You can buy shares through any dealer, broker
or financial  institution that has a sales agreement with the Distributor.  Your
dealer will place your order with the  Distributor  on your behalf.  A broker or
dealer may charge for that service.

Buying Shares Through the Distributor.  Complete an OppenheimerFunds new account
application and return it with a check payable to "OppenheimerFunds Distributor,
Inc." Mail it to P.O.  Box 5270,  Denver,  Colorado  80217.  If you don't list a
dealer on the application,  the Distributor will act as your agent in buying the
shares.  However, we recommend that you discuss your investment with a financial
advisor before you make a purchase to be sure that the Fund is  appropriate  for
you.

o Paying by Federal Funds Wire.  Shares purchased through the Distributor may be
paid for by Federal Funds wire. The minimum investment is $2,500. Before sending
a wire, call the  Distributor's  Wire Department at 1.800.225.5677 to notify the
Distributor of the wire and to receive further instructions.

o Buying Shares Through OppenheimerFunds  AccountLink. With AccountLink, you pay
for shares by electronic  funds  transfers  from your bank  account.  Shares are
purchased for your account by a transfer of money from your bank account through
the Automated  Clearing House (ACH) system.  You can provide those  instructions
automatically,  under an Asset Builder Plan,  described  below,  or by telephone
instructions  using  OppenheimerFunds  PhoneLink,  also described below.  Please
refer to "AccountLink," below for more details.

o Buying Shares Through Asset Builder Plans. You may purchase shares of the Fund
automatically  each  month  from  your  account  at a bank  or  other  financial
institution  under an Asset  Builder Plan with  AccountLink.  Details are in the
Asset Builder application and the Statement of Additional Information.

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM  AMOUNT YOU MUST  INVEST?  In most  cases,  you can buy Fund
shares  with  a  minimum  initial  investment  of  $1,000  and  make  additional
investments  at any time  with as  little as $50.  There  are  reduced  minimums
available under the following special investment plans:

o If you  establish  one of the many  types of  retirement  plan  accounts  that
OppenheimerFunds  offers,  more fully  described  below under "Special  Investor
Services," you can start your account with as little as $500.

o By using an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic  Exchange Plan (details are in the
Statement of Additional Information), or government allotment plan, you can make
subsequent  investments  (after  making the initial  investment  of $500) for as
little as $50.  For any type of  account  established  under one of these  plans
prior to November 1, 2002, the minimum additional investment will remain $25.

o The minimum  investment  requirement  does not apply to reinvesting  dividends
from  the  Fund or  other  Oppenheimer  funds  (a list  of them  appears  in the
Statement  of  Additional  Information,  or you can ask your  dealer or call the
Transfer Agent), or reinvesting  distributions  from unit investment trusts that
have made arrangements with the Distributor.

AT WHAT PRICE ARE SHARES SOLD?  Shares are sold at their offering price which is
the net asset value per share plus any initial  sales charge that  applies.  The
offering price that applies to a purchase order is based on the next calculation
of the net asset value per share that is made after the Distributor receives the
purchase order at its offices in Colorado,  or after any agent  appointed by the
Distributor receives the order.


Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of shares
as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), on each day the
Exchange  is open for  trading  (referred  to in this  Prospectus  as a "regular
business day"). The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, but may
close  earlier on some days.  All  references  to time in this  Prospectus  mean
"Eastern time."

The net asset value per share for a class of shares on a "regular  business day"
is  determined  by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets  attributable  to
that  class by the number of shares of that class  outstanding  on that day.  To
determine net asset values, 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  Exchange or 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.  Because some foreign  securities
trade in markets and on exchanges  that  operate on weekends and U.S.  holidays,
the values of some of the  Fund's  foreign  investments  may change on days when
investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

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).

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, a significant  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.


The Offering  Price. To receive the offering price for a particular day, in most
cases the  Distributor  or its  designated  agent must receive your order by the
time the  Exchange  closes that day. If your order is received on a day when the
Exchange  is closed or after it has  closed,  the order  will  receive  the next
offering price that is determined after your order is received.

Buying Through a Dealer.  If you buy shares  through a dealer,  your dealer must
receive  the  order  by  the  close  of  the  Exchange  and  transmit  it to the
Distributor so that it is received before the Distributor's close of business on
a regular  business  day  (normally  5:00 P.M.) to receive  that day's  offering
price,   unless  your  dealer  has  made  alternative   arrangements   with  the
Distributor.  Otherwise,  the order will receive the next offering price that is
determined.

WHAT  CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND  OFFER?  The Fund  offers  investors  five
different  classes  of  shares.   The  different  classes  of  shares  represent
investments in the same portfolio of securities,  but the classes are subject to
different  expenses and will likely have  different  share prices.  When you buy
shares, be sure to

Class A Shares.  If you buy Class A shares,  you pay an initial sales charge (on
investments up to $1 million for regular  accounts or lesser amounts for certain
retirement  plans).  The amount of that sales charge will vary  depending on the
amount you invest. The sales charge rates are listed in "How Can You Buy Class A
Shares?" below.

Class B Shares.  If you buy Class B shares,  you pay no sales charge at the time
of purchase,  but you will pay an annual  asset-based  sales charge. If you sell
your shares  within 6 years of buying them,  you will  normally pay a contingent
deferred sales charge. That contingent deferred sales charge varies depending on
how long you own your shares,  as described in "How Can You Buy Class B Shares?"
below.

Class C Shares.  If you buy Class C shares,  you pay no sales charge at the time
of purchase,  but you will pay an annual  asset-based  sales charge. If you sell
your shares within 12 months of buying them,  you will normally pay a contingent
deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described in "How Can You Buy Class C Shares?"
below.

Class N  Shares.  If you buy  Class N shares  (available  only  through  certain
retirement plans), you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will
pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within 18 months
of the  retirement  plan's  first  purchase  of  Class N  shares,  you may pay a
contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described in "How Can You Buy Class
N Shares?" below.

Class Y  Shares.  Class Y  shares  are  offered  only to  certain  institutional
investors that have a special agreement with the Distributor.


WHICH  CLASS OF SHARES  SHOULD YOU  CHOOSE?  Once you decide that the Fund is an
appropriate investment for you, the decision as to which class of shares is best
suited to your needs depends on a number of factors that you should discuss with
your financial advisor. Some factors to consider are how much you plan to invest
and how long you plan to hold your  investment.  If your  goals  and  objectives
change  over  time  and you  plan to  purchase  additional  shares,  you  should
re-evaluate those factors to see if you should consider another class of shares.
The Fund's operating costs that apply to a class of shares and the effect of the
different  types of sales charges on your  investment  will vary your investment
results over time.

     The  discussion  below  is  not  intended  to  be  investment  advice  or a
recommendation,  because each investor's financial considerations are different.
The discussion below assumes that you will purchase only one class of shares and
not a combination of shares of different classes. Of course,  these examples are
based on  approximations  of the effects of current  sales  charges and expenses
projected over time, and do not detail all of the  considerations in selecting a
class of shares.  You should analyze your options  carefully with your financial
advisor before making that choice.

How Long Do You Expect to Hold Your  Investment?  While future  financial  needs
cannot be  predicted  with  certainty,  knowing how long you expect to hold your
investment will assist you in selecting the appropriate class of shares. Because
of the effect of class-based expenses,  your choice will also depend on how much
you plan to invest. For example,  the reduced sales charges available for larger
purchases  of Class A shares  may,  over  time,  offset  the effect of paying an
initial  sales  charge on your  investment,  compared to the effect over time of
higher  class-based  expenses  on  shares  of Class  B,  Class C or Class N. For
retirement  plans that qualify to purchase  Class N shares,  Class N shares will
generally be more advantageous than Class B and Class C shares.

o  Investing  for the  Shorter  Term.  While the Fund is meant to be a long-term
investment, if you have a relatively short-term investment horizon (that is, you
plan to hold your  shares for not more than six  years),  you should most likely
invest in Class A or Class C shares rather than Class B shares.  That is because
of the  effect of the Class B  contingent  deferred  sales  charge if you redeem
within six years, as well as the effect of the Class B asset-based  sales charge
on the investment return for that class in the short-term.  Class C shares might
be the  appropriate  choice  (especially for investments of less than $100,000),
because there is no initial sales charge on Class C shares,  and the  contingent
deferred  sales charge does not apply to amounts you sell after holding them one
year.

However,  if you plan to invest more than $100,000 for the shorter term, then as
your investment  horizon increases toward six years, Class C shares might not be
as advantageous as Class A shares.  That is because the annual asset-based sales
charge on Class C shares  will have a greater  impact on your  account  over the
longer  term than the  reduced  front-end  sales  charge  available  for  larger
purchases of Class A shares.


If you invest $1 million or more,  in most cases Class A shares will be the most
advantageous choice, no matter how long you intend to hold your shares. For that
reason, the Distributor  normally will not accept purchase orders of $250,000 or
more of Class B shares  or $1  million  or more of Class C shares  from a single
investor.  Dealers or other financial intermediaries purchasing shares for their
customers in omnibus accounts are responsible for compliance with those limits.


o Investing for the Longer Term. If you are investing less than $100,000 for the
longer-term,  for  example for  retirement,  and do not expect to need access to
your money for seven years or more, Class B shares may be appropriate.

Are There  Differences  in Account  Features  That Matter to You?  Some  account
features  may not be  available  to Class B,  Class C and Class N  shareholders.
Other  features  may not be advisable  (because of the effect of the  contingent
deferred sales charge) for Class B, Class C and Class N shareholders. Therefore,
you should carefully  review how you plan to use your investment  account before
deciding which class of shares to buy.

Additionally, the dividends payable to Class B, Class C and Class N shareholders
will be reduced by the  additional  expenses borne by those classes that are not
borne by Class A or Class Y  shares,  such as the  Class B,  Class C and Class N
asset-based  sales charge  described  below and in the  Statement of  Additional
Information.

How Do Share Classes  Affect  Payments to Your Broker?  A financial  advisor may
receive different  compensation for selling one class of shares than for selling
another  class.  It is important  to remember  that Class B, Class C and Class N
contingent  deferred sales charges and  asset-based  sales charges have the same
purpose as the front-end sales charge on sales of Class A shares:  to compensate
the  Distributor  for  concessions and expenses it pays to dealers and financial
institutions for selling shares. The Distributor may pay additional compensation
from its own resources to  securities  dealers or financial  institutions  based
upon  the  value  of  shares  of the  Fund  owned  by the  dealer  or  financial
institution for its own account or for its customers.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS A SHARES? Class A shares are sold at their offering price,
which is normally net asset value plus an initial sales charge. However, in some
cases,  described  below,  purchases are not subject to an initial sales charge,
and the  offering  price will be the net asset value.  In other  cases,  reduced
sales  charges may be  available,  as  described  below or in the  Statement  of
Additional Information.  Out of the amount you invest, the Fund receives the net
asset value to invest for your account.

     The sales charge varies depending on the amount of your purchase. A portion
of the sales  charge may be retained by the  Distributor  or  allocated  to your
dealer as a concession. The Distributor reserves the right to reallow the entire
concession to dealers.  The current sales charge rates and  concessions  paid to
dealers and brokers are as follows:

  ---------------------------------------------------- ------------------- --------------------- ------------------

SPECIAL SALES CHARGE  ARRANGEMENTS  AND WAIVERS.  Appendix C to the Statement of
Additional  Information  details the  conditions for the waiver of sales charges
that apply in certain  cases,  and the special  sales charge rates that apply to
purchases of shares of the Fund by certain groups, or under specified retirement
plan arrangements or in other special types of transactions. To receive a waiver
or special sales charge rate, you must advise the  Distributor  when  purchasing
shares or the  Transfer  Agent when  redeeming  shares that a special  condition
applies.

Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges? You and your spouse may be eligible to buy
Class A shares of the Fund at reduced  sales charge rates set forth in the table
above under the Fund's "Right of Accumulation" or a "Letter of Intent." The Fund
reserves the right to modify or to cease offering these programs at any time.

o Right of Accumulation.  To reduce the Class A front-end sales charge under the
rates in the table  above  that  apply to larger  purchases,  you can add to the
amount of your current purchase the value of investments currently being made by
you and your spouse (or  previously  made by you and your spouse and still held)
in Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds (a list is
in the  Statement  of  Additional  Information  under  "How to Buy  Shares - The
Oppenheimer  Funds").  You may not include Class A shares of  Oppenheimer  Money
Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer  Cash Reserves on which you did not pay a sales
charge for this purpose. In totaling your holdings, you may count shares held in
your individual  accounts (including IRAs and 403(b) plans), your joint accounts
with your spouse,  or accounts you or your spouse hold as trustees or custodians
on behalf of your  children  who are minors.  A  fiduciary  can count all shares
purchased for a trust,  estate or other fiduciary  account  (including  employee
benefit plans for the same employer) that has multiple accounts.  To qualify for
this Right of Accumulation,  if you are buying shares directly from the Fund you
must inform the Fund's  Distributor of your eligibility and holdings at the time
of your purchase.  If you are buying shares through your financial  intermediary
you  must  notify  your  intermediary  of your  eligibility  for  this  Right of
Accumulation  at the  time  of  your  purchase.  To  count  shares  of  eligible
Oppenheimer funds held in accounts at other  intermediaries  under this Right of
Accumulation,  you may be requested to provide the  Distributor  or your current
intermediary  (depending  on the way you are buying your  shares) a copy of each
account  statement  showing your current  holdings of the Fund or other eligible
Oppenheimer funds, including statements for accounts held by you and your spouse
or in  retirement  plans or trust or custodial  accounts  for minor  children as
described  above.  The Distributor or intermediary  through which you are buying
shares will combine the value of all your  eligible  Oppenheimer  fund  accounts
based on the current  offering  price per share to determine  what Class A sales
charge breakpoints you may qualify for on your current purchase.

o Letters of Intent.  You may also reduce the Class A front-end  sales charge on
current  purchases  of shares of the Fund under the rates in the table  above by
submitting  a Letter  of  Intent  to the  Distributor.  A Letter  of Intent is a
written statement of your intention to purchase Class A and/or Class B shares of
the Fund (and other Oppenheimer funds except Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money
Market Fund and  Oppenheimer  Cash Reserves) over a 13-month  period.  The total
amount of your intended  purchases of Class A and Class B shares will  determine
the  reduced  sales  charge  rate that will  apply to Class A shares of the Fund
purchased  during  that  period.  You can include  purchases  made up to 90 days
before the date of the Letter.  Submitting  a Letter of Intent does not obligate
you to purchase the specified amount of shares.  You can also apply the Right of
Accumulation to these purchases.

If you do not complete the Letter of Intent, the front-end sales charge you paid
on your purchases will be recalculated to reflect the actual value of shares you
purchased. A certain portion of your shares will be held in escrow by the Fund's
Transfer Agent for this purpose. Please refer to "How to Buy Shares - Letters of
Intent" in the Fund's  Statement of  Additional  Information  for more  complete
information.

Other  Special  Sales  Charge  Arrangements  and  Waivers.   The  Fund  and  the
Distributor  offer other  opportunities to purchase shares without  front-end or
contingent  deferred sales charges under the programs  described below. The Fund
reserves the right to amend or  discontinue  these  programs at any time without
prior notice.

o Dividend  Reinvestment.  Dividends and/or capital gains distributions received
by a shareholder from the Fund may be reinvested in shares of the Fund or any of
the other  Oppenheimer  funds without a sales charge, at the net asset value per
share in effect on the  payable  date.  You must  notify the  Transfer  Agent in
writing  to elect  this  option  and must have an  existing  account in the fund
selected for reinvestment.

o Exchanges of Shares. Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of certain
other  Oppenheimer  funds at net asset value per share at the time of  exchange,
without  sales  charge,  and shares of the Fund can be  purchased by exchange of
shares of certain  other  Oppenheimer  funds on the same basis.  Please refer to
"How to Exchange  Shares" in this  Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional
Information for more details,  including a discussion of  circumstances in which
sales charges may apply on exchanges.

o Reinvestment  Privilege.  Within six months of a redemption of certain Class A
and Class B shares, the proceeds may be reinvested in Class A shares of the Fund
without sales charge.  This  privilege  applies to redemptions of Class A shares
that were  subject to an initial  sales charge or Class A or Class B shares that
were subject to a contingent  deferred sales charge when redeemed.  The investor
must ask the Transfer Agent for that privilege at the time of  reinvestment  and
must identify the account from which the redemption was made.

Other  Special  Reductions  and  Waivers.  The  Fund and the  Distributor  offer
additional  arrangements  to reduce or eliminate  front-end  sales charges or to
waive  contingent  deferred sales charges for certain types of transactions  and
for certain  classes of  investors  (primarily  retirement  plans that  purchase
shares in special  programs  through the  Distributor).  These are  described in
greater detail in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional  Information,  which
is also available on the OppenheimerFunds  website, at  www.oppenheimerfunds.com
(under the hyperlinks "Access Accounts and Services - Investor Service Center").
To receive a waiver or special  sales  charge  rate under  these  programs,  the
purchaser must notify the Distributor (or other financial  intermediary  through
which shares are being purchased) at the time of purchase or notify the Transfer
Agent  with at the time of  redeeming  shares  for those  waivers  that apply to
contingent deferred sales charges.

o Purchases by Certain  Retirement  Plans.  There is no initial  sales charge on
purchases  of Class A shares of the Fund by (1)  retirement  plans that have $10
million or more in plan assets and that have  entered  into a special  agreement
with the Distributor  and by (2) retirement  plans that are part of a retirement
plan product or platform offered by banks,  broker-dealers,  financial advisors,
insurance companies or record-keepers that have entered into a special agreement
with the Distributor for this purpose. The Distributor currently pays dealers of
record  concessions in an amount equal to 0.25% of the purchase price of Class A
shares by those  retirement  plans from its own  resources  at the time of sale,
subject to certain  exceptions  described in "Retirement Plans" in the Statement
of Additional  Information.  No contingent deferred sales charge is charged upon
the redemption of such shares.

Class A Contingent  Deferred  Sales Charge.  There is no initial sales charge on
purchases  of  Class  A  shares  of any one or  more  of the  Oppenheimer  funds
aggregating  $1 million or more,  or on  purchases  of Class A shares by certain
retirement  plans that  satisfied  certain  requirements  prior to March 1, 2001
("grandfathered  retirement  accounts").  However,  those  Class A shares may be
subject to a Class A contingent  deferred  sales  charge,  as  described  below.
Retirement  plans holding shares of Oppenheimer  funds in an omnibus  account(s)
for the benefit of plan  participants  in the name of a fiduciary  or  financial
intermediary  (other than  OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  Single DB Plus plans) are
not  permitted  to make  initial  purchases  of  Class  A  shares  subject  to a
contingent  deferred  sales  charge.  The  Distributor  pays  dealers  of record
concessions  in an amount equal to 1.0% of purchases of $1 million or more other
than  purchases  by  grandfathered   retirement   accounts.   For  grandfathered
retirement  accounts,  the  concession  is 0.75% of the first  $2.5  million  of
purchases plus 0.25% of purchases in excess of $2.5 million. In either case, the
concession  will not be paid on  purchases  of shares by  exchange  or that were
previously  subject to a front-end  sales charge and dealer  concession.  If you
redeem any of those shares within an 18-month "holding period" measured from the
beginning of the calendar month of their purchase,  a contingent  deferred sales
charge  (called the "Class A contingent  deferred sales charge") may be deducted
from the  redemption  proceeds.  That sales  charge will be equal to 1.0% of the
lesser of:

o the aggregate net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption
(excluding  shares  purchased  by  reinvestment  of  dividends  or capital  gain
distributions); or

o the original net asset value of the  redeemed  shares.  The Class A contingent
deferred  sales charge will not exceed the aggregate  amount of the  concessions
the  Distributor  paid to your dealer on all  purchases of Class A shares of all
Oppenheimer funds you made that were subject to the Class A contingent  deferred
sales charge.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS B SHARES?  Class B shares are sold at net asset  value per
share without an initial sales charge.  However,  if Class B shares are redeemed
within six years from the beginning of the calendar month of their  purchase,  a
contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from the redemption  proceeds.
The  Class  B  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  is paid  to  compensate  the
Distributor for its expenses of providing  distribution-related  services to the
Fund in connection with the sale of Class B shares.

     The amount of the  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  will  depend on the
number  of years  since you  invested  and the  dollar  amount  being  redeemed,
according to the following  schedule for the Class B contingent  deferred  sales
charge holding period:

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------

Years Since Beginning of Month in                  Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on Redemptions
Which Purchase Order was Accepted                  in That Year (As % of Amount Subject to Charge)

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
0 - 1                                              5.0%
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
1 - 2                                              4.0%
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
3 - 4                                              3.0%
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
4 - 5                                              2.0%
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
5 - 6                                              1.0%
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
More than 6                                        None
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------

In the table, a "year" is a 12-month period. In applying the contingent deferred
sales  charge,  all  purchases  are  considered  to have  been made on the first
regular business day of the month in which the purchase was made.

Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares. Class B shares automatically  convert to
Class A shares 72 months  after  you  purchase  them.  This  conversion  feature
relieves Class B shareholders  of the  asset-based  sales charge that applies to
Class B shares under the Class B Distribution and Service Plan, described below.
The conversion is based on the relative net asset value of the two classes,  and
no sales load or other charge is imposed.  When any Class B shares that you hold
convert,  any other Class B shares that were acquired by  reinvesting  dividends
and  distributions  on the converted shares will also convert to Class A shares.
For further information on the conversion feature and its tax implications,  see
"Class B Conversion" in the Statement of Additional Information.

How Can you Buy Class C Shares?  Class C shares are sold at net asset  value per
share without an initial sales charge.  However,  if Class C shares are redeemed
within a holding period of 12 months from the beginning of the calendar month of
their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be deducted from
the redemption proceeds. The Class C contingent deferred sales charge is paid to
compensate the  Distributor  for its expenses of providing  distribution-related
services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class C shares.

HOW  CAN YOU BUY  CLASS  N  SHARES?  Class N  shares  are  offered  for  sale to
retirement  plans  (including  IRAs and 403(b) plans) that purchase  $500,000 or
more of Class N shares of one or more  Oppenheimer  funds or to group retirement
plans (which do not include IRAs and 403(b)  plans) that have assets of $500,000
or more or 100 or more  eligible  participants.  See  "Availability  of  Class N
shares" in the Statement of Additional Information for other circumstances where
Class N shares are available for purchase.

     Class N shares are sold at net asset value without an initial sales charge.
A contingent  deferred  sales charge of 1.0% will be imposed upon the redemption
of Class N shares, if:

     o The  group  retirement  plan  is  terminated  or  Class N  shares  of all
Oppenheimer funds are terminated as an investment option of the plan and Class N
shares are redeemed  within 18 months after the plan's first purchase of Class N
shares of any Oppenheimer fund, or

     o With respect to an IRA or 403(b) plan, Class N shares are redeemed within
18 months of the  plan's  first  purchase  of Class N shares of any  Oppenheimer
fund.

     Retirement  plans  that offer  Class N shares  may  impose  charges on plan
participant  accounts.  The  procedures  for  buying,  selling,  exchanging  and
transferring  the  Fund's  other  classes of shares  (other  than the time those
orders must be received by the  Distributor  or Transfer  Agent in Colorado) and
the special account features  applicable to purchasers of those other classes of
shares  described  elsewhere in this  Prospectus  do not apply to Class N shares
offered  through a group  retirement  plan.  Instructions  for buying,  selling,
exchanging or  transferring  Class N shares offered  through a group  retirement
plan must be submitted by the plan, not by plan  participants  for whose benefit
the shares are held.


Who Can Buy Class Y Shares? Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share
without a sales charge  directly to  institutional  investors  that have special
agreements  with the Distributor  for this purpose.  They may include  insurance
companies,  registered investment companies,  employee benefit plans and Section
529  plans,  among  others.  Individual  investors  cannot  buy  Class Y  shares
directly.


     An  institutional  investor  that buys  Class Y shares  for its  customers'
accounts  may impose  charges on those  accounts.  The  procedures  for  buying,
selling,  exchanging and  transferring the Fund's other classes of shares (other
than the time those orders must be received by the Distributor or Transfer Agent
at  their  Colorado  office)  and the  special  account  features  available  to
investors  buying those other  classes of shares do not apply to Class Y shares.
Instructions for buying, selling, exchanging or transferring Class Y shares must
be submitted  by the  institutional  investor,  not by its  customers  for whose
benefit the shares are held.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS.


Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A
shares.  It reimburses the  Distributor  for a portion of its costs incurred for
services  provided to accounts that hold Class A shares.  Reimbursement  is made
quarterly  at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average  annual net assets of
Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor  currently uses all of those fees to
pay dealers,  brokers,  banks and other  financial  institutions  quarterly  for
providing  personal  service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that
hold  Class A  shares.  With  respect  to  Class A shares  subject  to a Class A
contingent deferred sales charge purchased by grandfathered retirement accounts,
the  Distributor  pays the 0.25% service fee to dealers in advance for the first
year after the shares are sold by the dealer. The Distributor  retains the first
year's  service  fee paid by the  Fund.  After  the  shares  have  been  held by
grandfathered  retirement  accounts for a year, the Distributor pays the service
fee to dealers on a quarterly basis.

Distribution  and  Service  Plan for  Class A  Shares.  The Fund has  adopted  a
Distribution and Service Plan for Class A shares. The plan also provides for the
Fund to pay an asset-based  sales charge to the Distributor at an annual rate of
0.25% of  average  annual  net  assets of Class A shares  the Fund (the Board of
Directors  has set that  rate at  zero).  The  Fund  pays a  service  fee to the
Distributor  of 0.25% of the  average  annual net assets of Class A shares.  The
Distributor currently uses all of the service fee to pay dealers, brokers, banks
and other financial  institutions  quarterly for providing  personal service and
maintenance of accounts of their  customers  that hold Class A shares.  Prior to
January 1,  2003,  the Fund paid the  Distributor  an annual  asset-based  sales
charge equal to 0.15% of average annual net assets  representing  Class A shares
purchased  before  September  1, 1993,  and 0.10% of  average  annual net assets
representing  Class A shares  purchased on or after that date.  The  Distributor
paid the entire asset-based sales charge to brokers.

With respect to Class A shares  subject to a Class A contingent  deferred  sales
charge purchased by grandfathered  retirement accounts, the Distributor pays the
0.25%  service fee to dealers in advance for the first year after the shares are
sold by the dealer. The Distributor retains the first year's service fee paid by
the Fund. After the shares have been held by grandfathered  retirement  accounts
for a year,  the  Distributor  pays the  service  fee to dealers on a  quarterly
basis.


Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund
has  adopted  Distribution  and  Service  Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N
shares to pay the Distributor  for its services and costs in distributing  Class
B, Class C and Class N shares and servicing accounts.  Under the plans, the Fund
pays the Distributor an annual  asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and
Class C shares  and 0.25% on Class N shares.  The  Distributor  also  receives a
service fee of 0.25% per year under the Class B, Class C and Class N plans.

The  asset-based  sales  charge and service  fees  increase  Class B and Class C
expenses  by 1.0% and  increase  Class N expenses by 0.50% of the net assets per
year of the  respective  class.  Because  these  fees are paid out of the Fund's
assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.

The  Distributor  uses the service  fees to  compensate  dealers  for  providing
personal services for accounts that hold Class B, Class C or Class N shares. The
Distributor  normally  pays the 0.25% service fees to dealers in advance for the
first year after the shares are sold by the  dealer.  After the shares have been
held for a year, the Distributor pays the service fees to dealers on a quarterly
basis.

The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 3.75% of the purchase price
of  Class B  shares  to  dealers  from  its own  resources  at the time of sale.
Including  the  advance  of the  service  fee,  the  total  amount  paid  by the
Distributor  to the  dealer at the time of sale of Class B shares  is  therefore
4.00% of the  purchase  price.  The  Distributor  normally  retains  the Class B
asset-based  sales  charge.  See the  Statement of  Additional  Information  for
exceptions.

The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase price
of  Class C  shares  to  dealers  from  its own  resources  at the time of sale.
Including  the  advance  of the  service  fee,  the  total  amount  paid  by the
Distributor  to the  dealer at the time of sale of Class C shares  is  therefore
1.0% of the purchase price. The Distributor pays the asset-based sales charge as
an ongoing concession to the dealer on Class C shares that have been outstanding
for a year or more.  The  Distributor  normally  retains the  asset-based  sales
charge on Class C shares  during the first year  after the  purchase  of Class C
shares. See the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase price
of  Class N  shares  to  dealers  from  its own  resources  at the time of sale.
Including  the  advance  of the  service  fee,  the  total  amount  paid  by the
Distributor  to the  dealer at the time of sale of Class N shares  is  therefore
1.0% of the purchase  price.  The Distributor  normally  retains the asset-based
sales charge on Class N shares. See the Statement of Additional  Information for
exceptions.


Under certain circumstances,  the Distributor will pay the full Class B, Class C
or Class N asset-based  sales charge and service fee to the dealer  beginning in
the first year after  purchase  of such  shares in lieu of paying the dealer the
sales  concession and the advance of the first year's service fee at the time of
purchase,   if  there  is  a  special  agreement  between  the  dealer  and  the
Distributor.  In those  circumstances,  the sales concession will not be paid to
the dealer.

For Class C shares  purchased  through  the  OppenheimerFunds  Recordkeeper  Pro
program,  the Distributor  will pay the Class C asset-based  sales charge to the
dealer of record in the first year after the  purchase of such shares in lieu of
paying the dealer a sales  concession at the time of purchase.  The  Distributor
will use the service fee it receives  from the Fund on those shares to reimburse
FASCorp for providing  personal  services to the Class C accounts  holding those
shares.

In addition,  the Manager and the Distributor may make  substantial  payments to
dealers or other financial intermediaries and service providers for distribution
and/or shareholder servicing activities,  out of their own resources,  including
the profits from the advisory fees the Manager  receives from the Fund.  Some of
these  distribution-related  payments  may  be  made  to  dealers  or  financial
intermediaries  for marketing,  promotional or related expenses;  these payments
are often referred to as "revenue sharing." In some  circumstances,  those types
of payments may create an incentive  for a dealer or financial  intermediary  or
its  representatives  to  recommend  or  offer  shares  of  the  Fund  or  other
Oppenheimer  funds to its  customers.  You should ask your  dealer or  financial
intermediary for more details about any such payments it receives.

How to Sell Shares

     You can sell  (redeem)  some or all of your shares on any regular  business
     day. Your shares will be sold at the next net asset value  calculated after
     your order is received in proper form (which means that it must comply with
     the procedures  described below) and is accepted by the Transfer Agent. The
     Fund  lets you sell  your  shares  by  writing  a  letter,  by wire,  or by
     telephone.  You can also set up Automatic Withdrawal Plans to redeem shares
     on a regular basis.  If you have questions  about any of these  procedures,
     and especially if you are redeeming shares in a special situation,  such as
     due to the death of the owner or from a  retirement  plan  account,  please
     call the Transfer Agent first, at 1.800.225.5677, for assistance.

     Certain Requests Require a Signature Guarantee. To protect you and the Fund
     from fraud, the following  redemption  requests must be in writing and must
     include a signature  guarantee (although there may be other situations that
     also require a signature guarantee):

     o You wish to redeem more than $100,000 and receive a check.

     o The  redemption  check is not payable to all  shareholders  listed on the
     account statement.

     o The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your account
     statement.

     o Shares are being  transferred to a Fund account with a different owner or
     name.

     o Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor) other than the
     owners.


     Where Can You Have Your  Signature  Guaranteed?  The  Transfer  Agent  will
     accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of financial institutions,
     including:

     o a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,

     o a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,

     o a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities or
     government securities, or

     o a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities  association
     or a  clearing  agency.  If you are  signing  on behalf  of a  corporation,
     partnership or other business or as a fiduciary, you must also include your
     title in the signature.

     Retirement Plan Accounts. There are special procedures to sell shares in an
     OppenheimerFunds  retirement  plan account.  Call the Transfer  Agent for a
     distribution  request form.  Special  income tax  withholding  requirements
     apply to distributions from retirement plans. You must submit a withholding
     form with your redemption  request to avoid delay in getting your money and
     if you do not want tax  withheld.  If your employer  holds your  retirement
     plan account for you in the name of the plan, you must ask the plan trustee
     or  administrator  to  request  the sale of the Fund  shares  in your  plan
     account.

     Sending  Redemption  Proceeds by Wire.  While the Fund normally  sends your
     money by check,  you can  arrange to have the  proceeds  of shares you sell
     sent by Federal  Funds wire to a bank account you  designate.  It must be a
     commercial  bank that is a member of the Federal  Reserve wire system.  The
     minimum redemption you can have sent by wire is $2,500.  There is a $10 fee
     for each request. To find out how to set up this feature on your account or
     to arrange a wire, call the Transfer Agent at 1.800.225.5677.


HOW DO you SELL SHARES BY MAIL? Write a letter of instruction that includes:
     o   Your name,
     o   The Fund's name,
     o   Your Fund account number (from your account statement),
     o   The dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed,
     o   Any special payment instructions,
     o   Any share certificates for the shares you are selling.
     o   The signatures of all registered owners exactly as the account is
         registered, and
     o   Any special documents requested by the Transfer Agent to assure proper
         authorization of the person

         asking to sell the shares.

Use the following address for                Send courier or express mail
requests by mail:                            requests to:
OppenheimerFunds Services                    OppenheimerFunds Services
P.O. Box 5270                                10200 E. Girard Avenue, Building D
Denver, Colorado 80217                       Denver, Colorado 80231

     HOW DO you SELL SHARES BY TELEPHONE?  You and your dealer representative of
     record may also sell your shares by  telephone.  To receive the  redemption
     price  calculated on a particular  regular  business day, your call must be
     received by the Transfer Agent by the close of the Exchange that day, which
     is normally 4:00 P.M.,  but may be earlier on some days. You may not redeem
     shares  held in an  OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  qualified  retirement  plan
     account or under a share certificate by telephone.

     o To redeem shares through a service  representative  or  automatically  on
     PhoneLink,  call  1.800.225.5677.  Whichever method you use, you may have a
     check sent to the address on the account statement,  or, if you have linked
     your Fund  account to your bank  account on  AccountLink,  you may have the
     proceeds sent to that bank account.

Are There Limits on Amounts Redeemed by Telephone?

     Telephone  Redemptions  Paid by Check.  Up to  $100,000  may be redeemed by
     telephone in any seven-day period.  The check must be payable to all owners
     of record of the  shares  and must be sent to the  address  on the  account
     statement.  This  service is not  available  within 30 days of changing the
     address on an account.

     Telephone  Redemptions  Through AccountLink or by Wire. There are no dollar
     limits on telephone  redemption  proceeds sent to a bank account designated
     when you establish  AccountLink.  Normally the ACH transfer to your bank is
     initiated  on the  business  day after the  redemption.  You do not receive
     dividends on the proceeds of the shares you redeemed while they are waiting
     to be transferred.

     If you have requested  Federal Funds wire privileges for your account,  the
     wire of the  redemption  proceeds will normally be  transmitted on the next
     bank  business day after the shares are  redeemed.  There is a  possibility
     that the wire may be  delayed  up to seven  days to enable the Fund to sell
     securities to pay the redemption proceeds. No dividends are accrued or paid
     on the  proceeds  of  shares  that  have  been  redeemed  and are  awaiting
     transmittal by wire.

     CAN  YOU  SELL  SHARES  THROUGH  your  DEALER?  The  Distributor  has  made
     arrangements  to repurchase  Fund shares from dealers and brokers on behalf
     of their customers. Brokers or dealers may charge for that service. If your
     shares are held in the name of your  dealer,  you must redeem them  through
     your dealer.

     HOW CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES AFFECT  REDEMPTIONS.  If you purchase
     shares  subject  to a Class  A,  Class  B,  Class C or  Class N  contingent
     deferred  sales charge and redeem any of those shares during the applicable
     holding  period  for the class of shares,  the  contingent  deferred  sales
     charge  will be  deducted  from the  redemption  proceeds  (unless  you are
     eligible for a waiver of that sales charge based on the  categories  listed
     in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional Information and you advise the
     Transfer  Agent of your  eligibility  for the  waiver  when you place  your
     redemption request.)

     A contingent  deferred  sales charge will be based on the lesser of the net
asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption or the original net
asset value. A contingent deferred sales charge is not imposed on:

     o the amount of your account value  represented by an increase in net asset
     value over the initial purchase price,

     o shares  purchased  by the  reinvestment  of  dividends  or capital  gains
     distributions, or

     o shares redeemed in the special  circumstances  described in Appendix C to
     the Statement of Additional Information.

     To  determine  whether a  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  applies to a
redemption, the Fund redeems shares in the following order:

     1.  shares   acquired  by  reinvestment  of  dividends  and  capital  gains
     distributions,

     2. shares held for the holding period that applies to the class, and

     3. shares held the longest during the holding period.

     Contingent  deferred sales charges are not charged when you exchange shares
of the Fund for shares of other Oppenheimer funds. However, if you exchange them
within the  applicable  contingent  deferred sales charge  holding  period,  the
holding period will carry over to the fund whose shares you acquire.  Similarly,
if you acquire shares of this Fund by exchanging  shares of another  Oppenheimer
fund that are still  subject  to a  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  holding
period, that holding period will carry over to this Fund.

How to Exchange Shares

To exchange shares, you must meet several conditions:

     o Shares of the fund  selected for exchange  must be available  for sale in
     your state of residence.

     o The prospectuses of both funds must offer the exchange privilege.

     o You must hold the shares you buy when you  establish  your account for at
     least seven days before you can

     exchange  them.  After the  account is open seven  days,  you can  exchange
     shares any regular business day.

     o You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the fund whose shares
     you purchase by exchange.

     o Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain and read its prospectus.

     Shares of a particular  class of the Fund may be exchanged  only for shares
of the same class in the other Oppenheimer funds. For example,  you can exchange
Class A shares of this Fund only for  Class A shares of  another  fund.  In some
cases, sales charges may be imposed on exchange transactions.  For tax purposes,
exchanges  of  shares  involve  a sale of the  shares  of the fund you own and a
purchase of the shares of the other fund,  which may result in a capital gain or
loss.  Please refer to "How to Exchange  Shares" in the  Statement of Additional
Information for more details.

     You can find a list of Oppenheimer funds currently  available for exchanges
in the  Statement of Additional  Information  or obtain one by calling a service
representative at 1.800.225.5677. That list can change from time to time.

     HOW DO you SUBMIT EXCHANGE REQUESTS?  Exchanges may be requested in writing
     or by telephone:

     Written  Exchange  Requests.  Submit an  OppenheimerFunds  Exchange Request
     form, signed by all owners of the account. Send it to the Transfer Agent at
     the address on the back cover.  Exchanges of shares held under certificates
     cannot be processed  unless the Transfer  Agent  receives the  certificates
     with the request.

     Telephone Exchange Requests. Telephone exchange requests may be made either
     by calling a service  representative  or by using  PhoneLink  for automated
     exchanges by calling  1.800.225.5677.  Telephone exchanges may be made only
     between  accounts  that are  registered  with the same name(s) and address.
     Shares held under certificates may not be exchanged by telephone.


     ARE THERE  LIMITATIONS ON FREQUENT  PURCHASES,  REDEMPTIONS  AND EXCHANGES?
     There are certain exchange policies you should be aware of:

     o The interests of the Fund's shareholders and the Fund's ability to manage
     its  investments  may be adversely  affected when its shares are repeatedly
     exchanged over the short term. When large dollar amounts are involved,  the
     Fund's  implementation  of its  investment  strategies  may  be  negatively
     affected  or the Fund  might  have to raise or  retain  more  cash than the
     portfolio manager would normally retain, to meet unanticipated redemptions.
     Frequent  exchange  activity  also may  force  the  Fund to sell  portfolio
     securities at disadvantageous  times to raise the cash needed to meet those
     exchange requests. These factors might hurt the Fund's performance.

     The Board of  Directors  has  adopted a policy that  beginning  on or about
     ________,  2005, would allow shareholders to exchange (either their full or
     partial account balance) from one fund account to another fund account once
     in any 30-day calendar  period.  When shares are exchanged into an account,
     that account  would be "blocked"  from  allowing  further  exchanges  for a
     period of 30 calendar days from the date of the  exchange.  This block will
     apply to the full  account  balance and not just to the value of the amount
     exchanged into that account. For example, if a shareholder exchanged $1,000
     from one fund into an account in another fund where the shareholder already
     owned shares worth $10,000, then following the exchange the full $11,000 in
     the account that the shares  exchanged  into would be blocked from exchange
     for a period of 30 calendar days.

     o A shareholder  would be permitted to exchange shares from a stock or bond
     fund into a money  market  fund at  anytime,  even if the  shareholder  had
     exchanged shares into the stock or bond fund in the prior 30 days. However,
     all of the shares of the money  market  fund  would  then be  blocked  from
     further  exchange for 30 calendar  days from the date of the exchange  into
     the money market fund.

     o  Shareholders  would be  permitted  to  redeem  their  shares at any time
     subject to the terms of this prospectus.

     o This policy would not apply to (a) accounts  held in omnibus  accounts in
     the name of a broker-dealer or other financial institution,  or (b) omnibus
     accounts held in the name of a retirement plan trustee or administrator, or
     (c)  accounts  held in the name of an  insurance  company for its  separate
     account(s),  or (d) other accounts  having multiple  underlying  owners but
     registered in a manner such that the underlying  beneficial  owners are not
     identified to the transfer agent.  However, the Transfer Agent will monitor
     overall  purchase  and  redemption  activity  in those  accounts to seek to
     identify patterns of excess activity that may suggest  excessive  purchase,
     redemption or exchange activity at the underlying owner level (for example,
     monitoring for annualized purchases and redemptions  exceeding a percentage
     of the assets held in the account).  The intermediary or administrator will
     be notified  and asked to review  account  activity,  and to confirm to the
     transfer  agent  and the fund that  appropriate  action  has been  taken to
     curtail the activity.

     o The reinvestment of dividends or distributions  from one fund into shares
     of another fund and/or the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares
     will not be counted as an exchange  for  purposes  of  imposing  the 30 day
     limit.

     o When the  Transfer  Agent in its  discretion  believes  frequent  trading
     activity by any person,  group or account would have a disruptive effect on
     the Fund's  ability to manage its  investments,  the Fund and the  Transfer
     Agent may reject  purchase  orders and/or  exchanges into the Fund. This is
     true even if the exchange  activity  has not  exceeded the exchange  policy
     outlined above.  The history of frequent  trading  activity in all accounts
     known by the Transfer Agent to be under common  ownership or control within
     the OppenheimerFunds  complex may be considered by the Transfer Agent, with
     respect to the review of frequent  trading  involving  this Fund as part of
     the Transfer  Agent's  procedures  to detect and deter  excessive  exchange
     activity.

     o There  is no  guarantee  that the  limitations  described  above  will be
     sufficient to identify or curtail excessive trading activity. Additionally,
     there  is no  guarantee  that the  Transfer  Agent  will be able to  detect
     frequent  exchange  activity  conducted by the underlying  owners of shares
     held in omnibus  accounts,  and therefore  might not be able to effectively
     prevent frequent exchange activity in those accounts. There is no guarantee
     that the Transfer  Agent's  controls and  procedures  will be successful to
     identify  investors who engage in excessive  trading activity or to curtail
     that activity.

     o The Fund permits dealers or financial  intermediaries  to submit exchange
     requests on behalf of their customers (unless the customer has revoked that
     authority).  The Manager,  the  Distributor  and/or the Transfer Agent have
     agreements with a limited number of broker-dealers and investment  advisers
     permitting  them to  submit  exchange  orders  in bulk on  behalf  of their
     clients, provided that those broker-dealers or advisers follow the exchange
     policy as stated  above and agree to  certain  additional  restrictions  on
     their exchange  activity  (which are more  stringent than the  restrictions
     that apply to other  shareholders).  Those restrictions include limitations
     on the funds  available  for  exchanges,  the  requirement  to give advance
     notice of  exchanges  to the  Transfer  Agent,  and limits on the amount of
     client assets that may be invested in a particular  fund.  The Fund and its
     Transfer Agent may restrict or refuse bulk exchange requests submitted by a
     financial  intermediary on behalf of a large number of accounts  (including
     pursuant to the  arrangements  described above) if, in the Transfer Agent's
     judgment  exercised in its discretion,  those exchanges would be disruptive
     to either fund in the exchange transaction.

     o Shares are  redeemed  from one fund and are normally  purchased  from the
     other fund in the same  transaction  on the same  regular  business  day on
     which the  Transfer  Agent or its agent (such as a  financial  intermediary
     holding the investor's  shares in an omnibus account)  receives an exchange
     request that conforms to the policies  described above. It must be received
     by the close of the Exchange that day,  which is normally 4:00 P.M. but may
     be earlier on some days. The Transfer Agent may delay the  reinvestment  of
     the  proceeds  of an  exchange  up to seven  days if it  determines  in its
     discretion  that an earlier  transmittal of the redemption  proceeds to the
     receiving  fund would be detrimental to the Fund from which the exchange is
     made or to the receiving fund.

     o The Fund may amend,  suspend or terminate  the exchange  privilege at any
     time.  The Fund may  refuse  any  purchase  and/or  exchange  order  and is
     currently not obligated to provide  notice before  rejecting such an order.
     The Fund  reserves  the  right to  reject  telephone  or  written  exchange
     requests submitted in bulk by anyone on behalf of more than one account.

     o If the Transfer Agent cannot  exchange all the shares you request because
     of a restriction cited above, only the shares eligible for exchange will be
     exchanged.


Shareholder Account Rules and Policies


     More  information  about the Fund's  policies  and  procedures  for buying,
     selling and  exchanging  shares is contained in the Statement of Additional
     Information.

     A $12 annual "Minimum  Balance Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a
     value of less  than  $500.  The fee is  automatically  deducted  from  each
     applicable  Fund account  annually on or about the second to last  "regular
     business  day" of September.  See the  Statement of Additional  Information
     (shareholders may visit the OppenheimerFunds  website) to learn how you can
     avoid  this  fee and for  circumstances  under  which  this fee will not be
     assessed.

     The  offering  of shares  may be  suspended  during any period in which the
     determination  of net asset value is  suspended,  and the  offering  may be
     suspended by the Board of Directors at any time the Board believes it is in
     the Fund's best interest to do so.

     Telephone  transaction  privileges for purchases,  redemptions or exchanges
     may be modified,  suspended or terminated by the Fund at any time. The Fund
     will provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable law.
     If an account has more than one owner,  the Fund and the Transfer Agent may
     rely on the  instructions of any one owner.  Telephone  privileges apply to
     each owner of the account and the dealer  representative  of record for the
     account unless the Transfer Agent receives  cancellation  instructions from
     an owner of the account.

     The  Transfer  Agent  will  record  any  telephone  calls  to  verify  data
     concerning  transactions  and has adopted other  procedures to confirm that
     telephone  instructions  are genuine,  by requiring  callers to provide tax
     identification  numbers and other  account  data or by using  PINs,  and by
     confirming such  transactions  in writing.  The Transfer Agent and the Fund
     will  not be  liable  for  losses  or  expenses  arising  out of  telephone
     instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.

     Redemption  or transfer  requests  will not be honored  until the  Transfer
     Agent  receives all required  documents in proper form.  From time to time,
     the Transfer Agent in its discretion may waive certain of the  requirements
     for redemptions stated in this Prospectus.

     Dealers   that  perform   account   transactions   for  their   clients  by
     participating  in  NETWORKING  through  the  National  Securities  Clearing
     Corporation  are  responsible  for obtaining  their clients'  permission to
     perform those  transactions,  and are  responsible to their clients who are
     shareholders of the Fund if the dealer performs any transaction erroneously
     or improperly.

     The redemption price for shares will vary from day to day because the value
     of the securities in the Fund's portfolio fluctuates. The redemption price,
     which is the net asset value per share, will normally differ for each class
     of shares.  The  redemption  value of your  shares may be more or less than
     their original cost.

     Payment for redeemed shares  ordinarily is made in cash. It is forwarded by
     check,  or through  AccountLink or by Federal Funds wire (as elected by the
     shareholder) within seven days after the Transfer Agent receives redemption
     instructions  in  proper  form.   However,   under  unusual   circumstances
     determined by the SEC,  payment may be delayed or  suspended.  For accounts
     registered  in the  name  of a  broker-dealer,  payment  will  normally  be
     forwarded within three business days after redemption.

     The Transfer Agent may delay  processing any type of redemption  payment as
     described  under "How to Sell Shares" for recently  purchased  shares,  but
     only until the purchase  payment has cleared.  That delay may be as much as
     10 days from the date the shares were purchased.  That delay may be avoided
     if you purchase shares by Federal Funds wire or certified check, or arrange
     with your bank to provide  telephone  or written  assurance to the Transfer
     Agent that your purchase payment has cleared.

     Involuntary  redemptions  of small  accounts may be made by the Fund if the
     account  value has fallen  below $500 for reasons  other than the fact that
     the  market  value  of  shares  has  dropped.  In some  cases,  involuntary
     redemptions  may be made to  repay  the  Distributor  for  losses  from the
     cancellation of share purchase orders.

     Shares may be "redeemed  in kind" under  unusual  circumstances  (such as a
     lack of liquidity in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions).  This means
     that the redemption  proceeds will be paid with liquid  securities from the
     Fund's  portfolio.  If the Fund redeems  your shares in kind,  you may bear
     transaction  costs  and will  bear  market  risks  until  such time as such
     securities are converted into cash.

     Federal  regulations may require the Fund to obtain your name, your date of
     birth (for a natural person),  your residential street address or principal
     place of business and your Social Security Number,  Employer Identification
     Number or other government issued  identification when you open an account.
     Additional  information may be required in certain circumstances or to open
     corporate accounts. The Fund or the Transfer Agent may use this information
     to attempt to verify your  identity.  The Fund may not be able to establish
     an account if the necessary information is not received.  The Fund may also
     place  limits  on  account  transactions  while  it is in  the  process  of
     attempting to verify your identity.  Additionally, if the Fund is unable to
     verify your  identity  after your account is  established,  the Fund may be
     required to redeem your shares and close your account.

     "Backup  withholding"  of federal income tax may be applied against taxable
     dividends,  distributions and redemption proceeds (including  exchanges) if
     you fail to furnish the Fund your  correct,  certified  Social  Security or
     Employer  Identification  Number when you sign your application,  or if you
     under-report your income to the Internal Revenue Service.

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

     If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call the
     Transfer Agent at 1.800.225.5677. You may also notify the Transfer Agent in
     writing.  Individual  copies of  prospectuses,  reports and privacy notices
     will be sent to you  commencing  within 30 days  after the  Transfer  Agent
     receives your request to stop householding.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

     Dividends.  The Fund intends to declare dividends separately for each class
     of shares from net investment  income on an annual basis and to pay them to
     shareholders  in  December on a date  selected  by the Board of  Directors.
     Dividends  and  distributions  paid to  Class A and  Class  Y  shares  will
     generally be higher than dividends for Class B, Class C and Class N shares,
     which  normally have higher  expenses than Class A and Class Y shares.  The
     Fund has no fixed  dividend rate and cannot  guarantee that it will pay any
     dividends or distributions.

     Capital Gains.  The Fund may realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio
     securities. If it does, it may make distributions out of any net short-term
     or  long-term  capital  gains in December  of each year.  The Fund may make
     supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end
     of its fiscal year.  There can be no  assurance  that the Fund will pay any
     capital gains distributions in a particular year.

     WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE FOR  RECEIVING  DISTRIBUTIONS?  When you open your
     account, specify on your application how you want to receive your dividends
     and distributions. You have four options:

     Reinvest  All  Distributions  in the Fund.  You can elect to  reinvest  all
     dividends and capital gains distributions in additional shares of the Fund.

     Reinvest  Dividends  or  Capital  Gains.  You can  elect to  reinvest  some
     distributions  (dividends,  short-term  capital gains or long-term  capital
     gains  distributions)  in the  Fund  while  receiving  the  other  types of
     distributions  by check or having  them sent to your bank  account  through
     AccountLink.

     Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive a check for all
     dividends  and capital gains  distributions  or have them sent to your bank
     through AccountLink.

     Reinvest Your Distributions in Another  OppenheimerFunds  Account.  You can
     reinvest  all  distributions  in  the  same  class  of  shares  of  another
     OppenheimerFunds account you have established.

     TAXES.  If your shares are not held in a tax-deferred  retirement  account,
     you should be aware of the following tax  implications  of investing in the
     Fund. Distributions are subject to federal income tax and may be subject to
     state or local taxes.  Dividends paid from short-term capital gains and net
     investment  income are taxable as ordinary income.  Long-term capital gains
     are taxable as long-term capital gains when distributed to shareholders. It
     does not matter how long you have held your  shares.  Whether you  reinvest
     your  distributions  in  additional  shares or take  them in cash,  the tax
     treatment is the same.

     Every  year the Fund  will  send you and the IRS a  statement  showing  the
amount of any taxable  distribution  you  received  in the  previous  year.  Any
long-term capital gains will be separately identified in the tax information the
Fund sends you after the end of the calendar year.


     The Fund intends each year to qualify as a "regulated  investment  company"
under the Internal  Revenue  Code,  but  reserves  the right not to qualify.  It
qualified  during its last fiscal  year.  The Fund,  as a  regulated  investment
company,  will not be  subject  to Federal  income  taxes on any of its  income,
provided that it satisfies  certain  income,  diversification  and  distribution
requirements.


     Avoid  "Buying a  Distribution."  If you buy  shares on or just  before the
     ex-dividend  date,  or just  before  the  Fund  declares  a  capital  gains
     distribution, you will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a
     portion of the price back as a taxable dividend or capital gain.

     Remember,  There May be Taxes on  Transactions.  Because  the Fund's  share
     prices  fluctuate,  you may have a  capital  gain or loss  when you sell or
     exchange your shares. A capital gain or loss is the difference  between the
     price you paid for the  shares  and the price  you  received  when you sold
     them. Any capital gain is subject to capital gains tax.

     Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases,  distributions  made by the
     Fund may be considered a non-taxable return of capital to shareholders.  If
     that occurs, it will be identified in notices to shareholders.

     This   information  is  only  a  summary  of  certain  federal  income  tax
information  about your  investment.  You should  consult  with your tax advisor
about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation.

Financial Highlights


     The  Financial  Highlights  Table is presented to help you  understand  the
     Fund's  financial  performance  for the past  five  fiscal  years.  Certain

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

     The investment  objective,  the principal  investment policies and the main
     risks  of the Fund are  described  in the  Prospectus.  This  Statement  of
     Additional  Information  contains  supplemental   information  about  those
     policies and risks and the types of securities  that the Fund's  investment
     Manager,  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc. (the "Manager"), can select for the Fund.
     Additional  information is also provided about the strategies that the Fund
     may use to try to achieve its objective.


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

     In selecting  securities for the Fund's  portfolio,  the portfolio  manager
evaluates the merits of particular  securities primarily through the exercise of
its own investment analysis.  In the case of corporate issuers, that process may
include,  among other things,  evaluation of the issuer's historical operations,
prospects for the industry of which the issuer is part,  the issuer's  financial
condition,   its  pending  product  developments  and  business  (and  those  of
competitors),  the  effect of  general  market and  economic  conditions  on the
issuer's  business,  and legislative  proposals that might affect the issuer. In
the case of foreign  securities,  when evaluating the securities of issuers in a
particular country, the manager may also consider the conditions of a particular
country's  economy in relation to the U.S.  economy or other foreign  economies,
general  political  conditions in a country or region,  the effect of taxes, the
efficiencies and costs of particular markets and other factors.

     |X|  Investments  in  Equity  Securities.  The  Fund  does  not  limit  its
investments in equity securities to issuers having a market  capitalization of a
specified  size or range,  and while it  emphasizes  securities  of medium-  and
large-capitalization  issuers,  the  Fund  can  also  invest  in  securities  of
small-capitalization  issuers.  At times,  the Fund may  increase  the  relative
emphasis of its equity  investments in securities of one or more  capitalization
ranges, based upon the Manager's judgment of where the best market opportunities
are to seek the Fund's  objective.  At times,  the market may favor or  disfavor
securities of issuers of a particular  capitalization  range,  and securities of
small-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  could  fluctuate  more than that of funds
focusing on larger-capitalization issuers.

     |_|  Value  Investing.  In  selecting  equity  investments  for the  Fund's
portfolio,  the portfolio  manager  currently uses a value  investing  style. In
using a value  approach,  the  portfolio  manager  seeks stock and other  equity
securities that appear to be temporarily  undervalued by various measures,  such
as  price/earnings  ratios.  This  approach  is  subject  to change  and may not
necessarily  be used in all cases.  Value  investing  seeks stocks having prices
that are low in  relation to their real worth or future  prospects,  in the hope
that the Fund will realize  appreciation in the value of its holdings when other
investors realize the intrinsic value of the stock.


     Using  value  investing  requires  research as to the  issuer's  underlying
financial  condition and prospects.  Some of the measures used to identify these
securities include, among others:

     |_|  Price/Earnings  ratio,  which  is the  stock's  price  divided  by its
     earnings per share.  A stock having a  price/earnings  ratio lower than its
     historical  range,  or the market as a whole or that of similar  companies,
     may offer attractive investment opportunities.

     |_|  Price/book  value ratio,  which is the stock price divided by the book
     value of the company per share, which measures the company's stock price in
     relation to its asset value.

     |_| Dividend Yield is measured by dividing the annual dividend by the stock
     price per share.

     |_| Valuation of Assets, which compares the stock price to the value of the
     company's  underlying  assets,  including  their  projected  value  in  the
     marketplace and liquidation value.


     |_| Preferred  Stocks.  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  dividends  can be paid on the issuer's
     common stock.  Preferred stock may be  "participating"  stock,  which means
     that it may be  entitled  to a dividend  exceeding  the stated  dividend in
     certain cases.

     If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred  stocks may be less
attractive,  causing the price of preferred  stocks to decline.  Preferred stock
may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as provisions allowing calls
or  redemptions  prior to  maturity,  which can also have a  negative  impact on
prices when interest rates decline.  Preferred  stock generally has a preference
over common stock on the distribution of a corporation's  assets in the event of
liquidation of the corporation. The rights of preferred stock on distribution of
a corporation's  assets in the event of a liquidation are generally  subordinate
to the rights associated with a corporation's debt securities.

     |_| Rights and Warrants.  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.

     While some  convertible  securities  are a form of debt  security,  in many
cases their  conversion  feature  (allowing  conversion into equity  securities)
causes the Manager to regard them more as "equity equivalents." As a result, the
credit  rating  assigned  to the  security  has  less  impact  on the  Manager's
investment  decision with respect to convertible  securities than in the case of
non-convertible fixed income securities.  Convertible  securities are subject to
the credit risks and interest rate risks described  below. To determine  whether
convertible  securities should be regarded as "equity  equivalents," the Manager
may examine 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.


     |X| Foreign  Securities.  The Fund can purchase  equity and debt securities
issued by foreign companies or foreign  governments or their agencies.  "Foreign
securities"  include equity and debt securities of companies organized under the
laws of countries  other than the United  States and debt  securities of foreign
governments  and their  agencies  and  instrumentalities.  They 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 are considered "foreign securities" for the purpose of
the Fund's investment  allocations.  That is because they are subject to some of
the special  considerations  and risks,  discussed below,  that apply to foreign
securities traded and held abroad.

     Because the Fund can purchase securities denominated in foreign currencies,
a change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar could 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  U.S.,  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.  The Fund  will  hold  foreign  currency  only in  connection  with the
purchase or sale of foreign securities.


     |_| Foreign Debt Obligations.  The debt obligations of foreign  governments
and their agencies and instrumentalities may or may not be supported by the full
faith and credit of the foreign  government.  The Fund can buy securities issued
by certain  "supra-national"  entities,  which  include  entities  designated or
supported by  governments to promote  economic  reconstruction  or  development,
international  banking  organizations and related government agencies.  Examples
are the International Bank for  Reconstruction and Development  (commonly called
the "World Bank"), the Asian Development Bank and the Inter-American Development
Bank.


     The   governmental   members   of   these   supra-national   entities   are
"stockholders" that typically make capital contributions and may be committed to
make  additional  capital  contributions  if the  entity  is unable to repay its
borrowings.  A supra-national  entity's  lending  activities may be limited to a
percentage  of its  total  capital,  reserves  and net  income.  There can be no
assurance that the constituent  foreign  governments will continue to be able or
willing to honor their capitalization commitments for those entities.

     |_| 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:

     o reduction of income by foreign taxes;

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

     o transaction charges for currency exchange;

     o lack of public information about foreign issuers;

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

     o less  volume  on  foreign  exchanges  than  on  U.S.  exchanges;  greater
     volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the U.S.;

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

     o greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;

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

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

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


     |_| Special  Risks of Emerging  Markets.  Emerging and  developing  markets
abroad may also  offer  special  opportunities  for  growth  investing  but have
greater  risks than more  developed  foreign  markets,  such as those in Europe,
Canada,  Australia,  New Zealand and Japan.  There may be even 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.  The Manager
will consider these factors when evaluating securities in these markets.

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

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

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


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


     |X| Portfolio  Turnover.  "Portfolio  turnover" describes the rate at which
the Fund  traded its  portfolio  securities  during its last  fiscal  year.  For
example,  if a fund sold all of its  securities  during the year,  its portfolio
turnover rate would have been 100% annually.  The Fund's portfolio turnover rate
will  fluctuate  from  year to year,  but the Fund  does  not  expect  to have a
portfolio  turnover rate of 100% or more.  Increased  portfolio turnover creates
higher brokerage and transaction costs for the Fund, which may reduce the Fund's
performance.  Additionally,  the  realization  of  capital  gains  from  selling
portfolio  securities may result in distributions of taxable  long-term  capital
gains to  shareholders,  since  the Fund  will  normally  distribute  all of its
capital  gains  realized  each year,  to avoid  excise  taxes under the Internal
Revenue Code.


     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.


     |X|  Investments  in Debt  Securities.  The Fund can invest in  convertible
securities and can also invest in bonds,  debentures and other debt  securities,
including  U.S.  Government  securities,  for  liquidity or defensive  purposes.
Because the Fund currently emphasizes investments in equity securities,  such as
stocks, it is not anticipated that more than 25% of the Fund's total assets will
be invested in debt  securities  under normal  market  conditions.  Foreign debt
securities are subject to the risks of foreign  investing  described  above.  In
general domestic and foreign debt securities are also subject to the credit risk
and interest rate risk.

     |_| Credit  Risk.  Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of debt
securities  to meet interest and principal  payment  obligations  as they become
due.   The  Fund's   debt   investments   can   include   investment-grade   and
non-investment-grade   bonds   (commonly   referred   to   as   "junk   bonds").
Investment-grade  bonds  are bonds  rated at least  "Baa" by  Moody's  Investors
Service,  Inc.  ("Moody's"),  at least "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Rating Service
("Standard & Poor's") or Fitch, Inc.  ("Fitch"),  or have comparable  ratings by
another  nationally  recognized  statistical  rating  organization.   In  making
investments  in debt  securities,  the  Manager  may rely to some  extent on the
ratings of ratings  organizations  or it may use its own  research to evaluate a
security's credit  worthiness.  If the securities are unrated,  to be considered
part of the Fund's holdings of  investment-grade  securities they must be judged
by the Manager to be of comparable quality to bonds rated as investment grade by
a rating  organization.  The debt security ratings  definitions of the principal
ratings organizations are included in Appendix A to this Statement of Additional
Information.

     |_| Interest Rate Risk.  Interest rate risk refers to the  fluctuations  in
value of debt securities  resulting from the inverse  relationship between price
and yield.  For  example,  an  increase in general  interest  rates will tend to
reduce  the  market  value of  already-issued  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.


     |_| U.S. Government  Securities.  These are securities issued or guaranteed
by the  U.S.  Treasury  or  other  government  agencies  or  federally-chartered
corporate  entities  referred  to as  "instrumentalities".  Obligations  of U.S.
Government agencies or instrumentalities  (including mortgage-backed securities)
may or may not be  guaranteed or supported by the "full faith and credit" of the
United States.  Some obligations are backed by the right of the issuer to borrow
from  the  U.S.  Treasury;  others,  by  discretionary  authority  of  the  U.S.
Government  to purchase the  agencies'  obligations;  while others are supported
only by the credit of the instrumentality.

     All U.S.  Treasury  obligations  are backed by the full faith and credit of
the United States. If the securities are not backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States,  the owner of the securities must look  principally to the
agency  issuing the  obligation  for  repayment  and may not be able to assert a
claim against the United States in the event that the agency or  instrumentality
does  not meet its  commitment.  The Fund  will  invest  in  securities  of U.S.
Government  agencies  and  instrumentalities  only when the Manager is satisfied
that the credit risk with respect to such agency or instrumentality is minimal.

     |_| Special Risks of Lower-Grade  Securities.  While it is not  anticipated
that  the Fund  currently  will  invest  more  than 5% of its  total  assets  in
lower-grade  debt  securities,  the Fund can  invest a portion  of its assets in
these  securities.  Because  lower-rated  securities tend to offer higher yields
than investment grade securities,  the Fund may invest in lower-grade securities
if the Manager is trying to achieve  greater  income  (and,  in some cases,  the
appreciation  possibilities of lower-grade securities might be a reason they are
selected for the Fund's portfolio).

     "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.  If they are unrated, and are determined by the Manager to
be of comparable  quality to debt securities rated below investment  grade, they
are included in the  limitation on the  percentage of the Fund's assets that can
be invested in lower-grade  securities.  The Fund can invest in securities rated
as low as "C" or "D"  although  under  normal  circumstances  the Fund  will not
purchase securities that are in default.


     Some of the special credit risks of lower-grade securities are discussed in
the  Prospectus.  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 increase the 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  risk of
foreign  investing  discussed  in  the  Prospectus  and  in  this  Statement  of
Additional Information.

     However, the Fund's limitations on these investments may reduce some of 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.

     While  securities  rated  "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by Standard & Poor's or
Fitch are investment grade and are not regarded as junk bonds,  those securities
may be subject to special risks, and have some speculative characteristics.


     |X| Money Market  Instruments.  The following is a brief description of the
types of money  market  securities  the Fund can invest in.  Those money  market
securities are high-quality,  short-term debt instruments that are issued by the
U.S.  Government,  corporations,  banks or other entities.  They may have fixed,
variable or floating interest rates.

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

     |_| Bank  Obligations.  The Fund may buy  time  deposits,  certificates  of
deposit and bankers' acceptances.  Time deposits, other than overnight deposits,
may be  subject  to  withdrawal  penalties  and,  if so,  they are  deemed to be
"illiquid" investments.


     The Fund can  purchase  bank  obligations  that are  fully  insured  by the
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation.  The FDIC insures the deposits of member
banks up to $100,000 per account.  Insured bank  obligations  may have a limited
market and a particular  investment of this type may be deemed "illiquid" unless
the Board of Directors of the Fund  determines that a  readily-available  market
exists for that  particular  obligation,  or unless the obligation is payable at
principal  amount plus  accrued  interest  on demand or within  seven days after
demand.


     |_| Commercial  Paper.  The Fund can invest in commercial  paper,  if it is
rated within the top two rating categories of Standard & Poor's and Moody's.  If
the paper is not  rated,  it may be  purchased  if issued by a company  having a
credit rating of at least "AA" by Standard & Poor's or "Aa" by Moody's.


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


     |_| Variable Amount Master Demand Notes.  Master demand notes are corporate
obligations  that permit the  investment of  fluctuating  amounts by the Fund at
varying rates of interest under direct arrangements between the Fund, as lender,
and the borrower.  They permit daily changes in the amounts  borrowed.  The Fund
has the right to increase  the amount  under the note at any time up to the full
amount provided by the note agreement,  or to decrease the amount.  The borrower
may prepay up to the full amount of the note without penalty. These notes may or
may not be backed by bank letters of credit.


     Because these notes are direct lending  arrangements between the lender and
borrower, it is not expected that there will be a trading market for them. There
is no secondary  market for these notes,  although they are redeemable (and thus
are  immediately  repayable by the borrower) at principal  amount,  plus accrued
interest,  at any time.  Accordingly,  the Fund's  right to redeem such notes is
dependent  upon the ability of the  borrower to pay  principal  and  interest on
demand.


     The Fund has no  limitations  on the type of issuer  from whom these  notes
will be purchased.  However, in connection with such purchases and on an ongoing
basis,  the  Manager  will  consider  the  earning  power,  cash  flow and other
liquidity ratios of the issuer, and its ability to pay principal and interest on
demand,  including  a  situation  in which all holders of such notes made demand
simultaneously. Investments in master demand notes are subject to the limitation
on investments by the Fund in illiquid securities,  described in the Prospectus.
The Fund does not intend that its  investments in variable  amount master demand
notes will exceed 5% of its total assets.

     |X|  Investing  in  Small,  Unseasoned  Companies.  The Fund may  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 may have a limited trading market, which may 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

     |X| 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.  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.


     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,  which could
increase  the  Fund's  expenses.  The  Fund  does  not  anticipate  investing  a
substantial amount of its net assets in shares of other investment companies.


     |X| When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery  Transactions.  The Fund can invest in
securities  on a  "when-issued"  basis and can purchase or sell  securities on a
"delayed-delivery"    or   "forward    commitment"   basis.    When-issued   and
delayed-delivery  are terms that refer to  securities  whose terms and indenture
are  available  and for which a market  exists,  but which are not available for
immediate delivery.

     When  such  transactions  are  negotiated,  the price  (which is  generally
expressed in yield terms) is fixed at the time the commitment is made.  Delivery
and payment for the  securities  take place at a later date.  The securities are
subject  to change in value from  market  fluctuations  during the period  until
settlement.  The value at  delivery  may be less than the  purchase  price.  For
example,  changes in interest  rates in a direction  other than that expected by
the Manager before  settlement  will affect the value of such securities and may
cause a loss to the Fund. During the period between purchase and settlement, the
Fund makes no payment to the issuer and no interest accrues to the Fund from the
investment until it receives the security at settlement. There is a risk of loss
to the Fund if the value of the security  changes prior to the settlement  date,
and there is the risk that the other party may not perform.

     The Fund may engage in when-issued  transactions to secure what the Manager
considers to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of entering into the
obligation.  When  the  Fund  enters  into  a  when-issued  or  delayed-delivery
transaction,  it relies on the other  party to  complete  the  transaction.  Its
failure  to do so may  cause  the Fund to lose the  opportunity  to  obtain  the
security at a price and yield the Manager considers to be advantageous.


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

     At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase or sell a security on
a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, it records the transaction on its books
and reflects the value of the security  purchased in determining  the Fund's net
asset value. In a sale transaction,  it records the proceeds to be received. The
Fund will  identify  on its books  liquid  assets at least equal in value to the
value of the Fund's purchase commitments until the Fund pays for the investment.

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


     |X|  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 temporary 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 limits on holding illiquid  investments.  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.


     |X|  Illiquid  and  Restricted  Securities.  To enable the Fund to sell its
holdings of a restricted  security not registered  under  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 may 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.


     |X|  Loans of  Portfolio  Securities.  The  Fund  may  lend  its  portfolio
securities pursuant to the Securities Lending Agreement (the "Securities Lending
Agreement")  with JP Morgan  Chase,  subject to the  restrictions  stated in the
Prospectus.  The Fund will lend such portfolio securities to attempt to increase
the  Fund's  income.  Under the  Securities  Lending  Agreement  and  applicable
regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), the loan collateral must,
on each  business  day, be at least equal to the value of the loaned  securities
and must  consist  of cash,  bank  letters of credit or  securities  of the U.S.
Government (or its agencies or instrumentalities),  or other cash equivalents in
which the Fund is permitted to invest.  To be acceptable as collateral,  letters
of credit  must  obligate a bank to pay to JP Morgan  Chase,  as agent,  amounts
demanded by the Fund if the demand meets the terms of the letter.  Such terms of
the  letter of credit and the  issuing  bank must be  satisfactory  to JP Morgan
Chase and the Fund. The Fund will receive,  pursuant to the  Securities  Lending
Agreement,  80% of all annual net income (i.e.,  net of rebates to the Borrower)
from securities lending transactions. JP Morgan Chase has agreed, in general, to
guarantee the  obligations  of borrowers to return loaned  securities  and to be
responsible  for  expenses  relating  to  securities  lending.  The Fund will be
responsible,   however,  for  risks  associated  with  the  investment  of  cash
collateral, including the risk that the issuer of the security in which the cash
collateral has been invested  defaults.  The Securities Lending Agreement may be
terminated by either JP Morgan Chase or the Fund on 30 days' written notice. The
terms of the Fund's  loans must also meet  applicable  tests under the  Internal
Revenue Code and permit the Fund to reacquire loaned securities on five business
days' notice or in time to vote on any important matter.

     |X|  Borrowing  for  Leverage.  The Fund has the  ability  to  borrow up to
one-third  of the value of its net assets  from banks on an  unsecured  basis to
invest the borrowed funds in portfolio securities. This speculative technique is
known as "leverage." The Fund may borrow only from banks and from other funds in
the  OppenheimerFunds  complex pursuant to the interfund lending order described
in  "Interfund   Borrowing   Arrangments"   below.   Under  current   regulatory
requirements,  a mutual fund may borrow 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).  If the value of the
Fund's assets fails to meet this 300% asset coverage requirement,  the Fund will
reduce its bank debt 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.


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


     |X|  Hedging.  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. To do
so, the Fund could:

     o sell futures contracts,

     o buy puts on futures or on securities, or

     o write covered  calls on securities or futures.  Covered calls can also be
     used to increase  the Fund's  income,  but the  Manager  does not expect to
     engage extensively in that practice.

     The Fund might 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. To do so the Fund could:

o        buy futures, or
o        buy calls on such futures or on securities.

     The Fund is not  obligated  to use hedging  instruments,  even though it is
permitted  to use them in the  Manager's  discretion,  as described  below.  The
Fund's  strategy  of  hedging  with  futures  and  options  on  futures  will be
incidental  to  the  Fund's  activities  in  the  underlying  cash  market.  The
particular  hedging  instruments the Fund can use are described  below. The Fund
may employ new hedging  instruments and strategies  when they are developed,  if
those investment methods are consistent with the Fund's investment objective and
are permissible under applicable regulations governing the Fund.

     o Futures. The Fund can buy and sell exchange-traded futures contracts that
relate  to (1)  broadly-based  stock  indices  ("stock  index  futures")  (2) an
individual  stock  ("single  stock  futures")  (3) debt  securities  (these  are
referred to as "interest rate  futures"),  (4) other  broadly- based  securities
indices (these are referred to as "financial  futures"),  (5) foreign currencies
(these  are  referred  to  as  "forward  contracts"),   (6)  securities  or  (7)
commodities (these are referred to as "commodity futures").

     A  broadly-based  stock index is used as the basis for trading  stock index
futures.  They 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. Financial 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
transaction.  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.

     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.

          The Fund can  invest a  portion  of its  assets in  commodity  futures
     contracts. Commodity futures may be based upon commodities within five main
     commodity groups:

     (1) energy,  which  includes crude oil,  natural gas,  gasoline and heating
     oil;

     (2) livestock, which includes cattle and hogs;

     (3) agriculture,  which includes wheat,  corn,  soybeans,  cotton,  coffee,
     sugar and cocoa;

     (4) industrial metals,  which includes aluminum,  copper, lead, nickel, tin
     and zinc; and

     (5) precious metals, which includes gold, platinum and silver. The Fund may
     purchase and sell commodity futures contracts, options on futures contracts
     and options and futures on  commodity  indices  with  respect to these five
     main commodity groups and the individual  commodities within each group, as
     well as other types of commodities.

          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.

          o 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,  commodities  options, and
     options on the other types of futures described above.

          o Writing  Covered  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, for  certain  types of calls,  the call may be covered by
     segregating  liquid assets 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").  When 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 any OTC option it
     holds,  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. When distributed by the Fund
     they are taxable as ordinary  income.  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
     segregate  additional  liquid assets if the value of the segregated  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,  which
     is permitted by the Fund's hedging policies.

          o 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  segregated  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,  and when  distributed  by the Fund,  are taxable as
     ordinary income.

          o 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.

          o 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.

          o Risks of  Hedging  with  Options  and  Futures.  The use of  hedging
     instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment  techniques
     that are different than what is required for normal  portfolio  management.
     If the Manager uses a hedging instrument 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 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  values  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 profit 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  hedging
     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 hedging  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 hedging instruments are based.

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

          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 hedging  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 hedging instruments
     that is not offset by a reduction in the price of the securities purchased.

          o 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 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.

          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.

     o Interest  Rate Swap  Transactions.  The Fund can enter into interest rate
     swap  agreements.  In an interest  rate swap,  the Fund and  another  party
     exchange  their right to receive or their  obligation  to pay interest on a
     security.  For example,  they might swap the right to receive floating rate
     payments  for fixed  rate  payments.  The Fund can enter into swaps only on
     securities that it owns. The Fund will not enter into swaps with respect to
     more than 25% of its total  assets.  Also,  the Fund will  identify  on its
     books liquid assets (such as cash or U.S.  government  securities) 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.

          Swap agreements  entail both interest rate risk and credit risk. There
     is a risk that,  based on  movements of interest  rates in the future,  the
     payments made by the Fund under a swap  agreement  will be greater than the
     payments it  received.  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  interest  payments that the
     Fund has not yet received. The Manager will monitor the creditworthiness of
     counterparties  to the Fund's interest rate swap transactions on an ongoing
     basis.

          The Fund can enter into swap transactions with certain  counterparties
     pursuant to master netting agreements.  A master netting agreement provides
     that all  swaps  done  between  the Fund  and  that  counterparty  shall be
     regarded  as parts of an  integral  agreement.  If amounts are payable on a
     particular  date in the  same  currency  in  respect  of one or  more  swap
     transactions, the amount payable on that date in that currency shall be the
     net amount.  In addition,  the master netting agreement may provide that if
     one party defaults generally or on one swap, the counterparty can terminate
     all of the swaps with that  party.  Under  these  agreements,  if a default
     results in a loss to one party,  the  measure  of that  party's  damages is
     calculated by reference to the average cost of a replacement  swap for each
     swap.  It is  measured  by the  mark-to-market  value  at the  time  of the
     termination  of each  swap.  The  gains  and  losses  on all swaps are then
     netted, and the result is the  counterparty's  gain or loss on termination.
     The  termination  of all  swaps  and the  netting  of gains  and  losses on
     termination is generally referred to as "aggregation."

          o 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 not invest in swaps
     with respect to more than 30% of the Fund's total  assets.  A swap contract
     is essentially like a portfolio of forward contracts, under which one party
     agrees to  exchange  an asset (for  example,  bushels of wheat) for another
     asset (cash) at specified  dates in the future.  A one-period swap contract
     operates in a manner similar to a forward or futures contract because there
     is an agreement to swap a commodity for cash at only one forward date.  The
     Fund may  engage in swap  transactions  that have more than one  period and
     therefore more than one exchange of assets.

          The Fund may  invest in total  return  swaps to gain  exposure  to the
     overall commodity  markets.  In a total return commodity swap the Fund will
     receive  the price  appreciation  of a  commodity  index,  a portion of the
     index, or a single  commodity in exchange for paying an agreed-upon fee. If
     the  commodity  swap is for one  period,  the Fund  will  pay a fixed  fee,
     established  at the  outset  of the  swap.  However,  if  the  term  of the
     commodity  swap is more than one period,  with interim swap  payments,  the
     Fund will pay an adjustable or floating  fee. With a "floating"  rate,  the
     fee is  pegged to a base rate such as the  London  Interbank  Offered  Rate
     ("LIBOR"),  and is adjusted  each  period.  Therefore,  if  interest  rates
     increase  over the term of the swap  contract,  the Fund may be required to
     pay a higher  fee at each swap  reset  date.  The Fund  does not  currently
     anticipate investing in total return swaps.

          o Regulatory Aspects of Hedging  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  Fund's  investment  advisor  (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  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.

          o Tax Aspects of Certain Hedging 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 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.  These  contracts also may
     be  marked-to-market  for purposes of determining the excise tax applicable
     to investment  company  distributions  and for other  purposes  under rules
     prescribed  pursuant to the Internal  Revenue Code. An election can be made
     by the  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.

Other Investment Restrictions

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

     |_| 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.

          The  Fund's  investment  objective  is  a  fundamental  policy.  Other
     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  most
     significant investment policies are described in the Prospectus.

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

          |_| 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. This limitation applies to 75% of the Fund's total assets.

          |_| The Fund cannot purchase more than 10% of the voting securities of
     any one issuer.  The limit does not apply to securities  issued by the U.S.
     Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.

          |_| The Fund cannot purchase more than 10% of any class of security of
     any issuer.  All outstanding  debt securities and all preferred stock of an
     issuer are considered to be one class.  This  restriction does not apply to
     securities  issued  by the  U.S.  Government  or any  of  its  agencies  or
     instrumentalities.

          |_|  The  Fund  cannot  lend  money  except  in  connection  with  the
     acquisition of debt  securities  which the Fund's  investment  policies and
     restrictions  permit  it to  purchase.  The  Fund may  also  make  loans of
     portfolio  securities,  subject to the restrictions  stated under "Loans of
     Portfolio Securities."

          |_| The Fund cannot concentrate its investments.  That means it cannot
     invest 25% or more of its total assets in any industry.  However,  there is
     no limitation on investments in U.S. Government  Securities.  Moreover,  if
     deemed  appropriate  for seeking  its  investment  objective,  the Fund may
     invest less than (but up to) 25% of its total assets (valued at the time of
     investment)  in any  one  industry  classification  used  by the  Fund  for
     investment purposes.

          |_| The Fund  cannot  invest in real  estate or in  interests  in real
     estate (including limited  partnership  interests).  However,  the Fund can
     purchase readily-marketable  securities of companies holding real estate or
     interests in real estate.

          |_| The Fund cannot  invest in  companies  for the primary  purpose of
     acquiring control or management of those companies.  However,  the Fund may
     invest all of its investable  assets in an open-end  management  investment
     company with  substantially the same investment  objective and restrictions
     as the Fund.

          |_| 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 may also  invest  all of its  investable  assets in an
     open-end   management   investment  company  with  substantially  the  same
     investment objective and restrictions as the Fund.

          |_| The Fund  cannot  invest in or hold  securities  of any  issuer if
     officers and directors of the Fund or its Manager individually beneficially
     own more than 1/2 of 1% of the  securities  of that issuer and together own
     more than 5% of the securities of that issuer.

          |_| The  Fund  cannot  invest  in  physical  commodities  or  physical
     commodity contracts. However, the Fund may buy and sell hedging instruments
     to the extent  specified in its  Prospectus  and  Statement  of  Additional
     Information  from  time to time.  The  Fund  can also buy and sell  options
     (subject to the restrictions in its other fundamental  policies),  futures,
     and securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities or whose
     investment   return  is  linked  to  changes  in  the  price  of   physical
     commodities.

          |_|  The  Fund  cannot  write,   purchase  or  sell  puts,   calls  or
     combinations of puts and calls on individual stocks.  However, the Fund may
     purchase or sell  exchange-traded  put and call options on stock indices to
     protect the Fund's assets.

          |_| The Fund cannot  borrow  money in excess of one third of the value
     of the Fund's total assets. The Fund can borrow only if it maintains a 300%
     ratio of assets to  borrowings  at all times in the manner set forth in the
     Investment Company Act.

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

          |_| The Fund cannot pledge, mortgage or hypothecate any of its assets.

         |X| Does the Fund Have Any Restrictions That Are
Not Fundamental? The Fund has other investment restrictions
that are not fundamental policies, which means that they can
be changed by the Board of Directors without shareholder
approval.

          |_| The Fund cannot  invest in interests in oil, gas or other  mineral
     exploration or development programs or leases.

          |_| The Fund cannot purchase securities on margin or make short sales.

          |_| The Fund cannot make loans to any person or  individual.  However,
     the Fund may lend its portfolio  securities as described in the  Prospectus
     or Statement of Additional Information.

          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  (except in the case
     of borrowing and  investments  in illiquid  securities).  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.

          For purposes of the Fund's policy not to concentrate  its  investments
     as described above, the Fund has adopted the industry  classifications  set
     forth in Appendix B to this  Statement of Additional  Information.  This is
     not a fundamental policy.

     Disclosure  of  Portfolio  Holdings.  The Fund  has  adopted  policies  and
     procedures  concerning  the  dissemination  by employees,  officers  and/or
     directors of the  Investment  Advisor,  Distributor,  and Transfer Agent of
     information  about the portfolio  securities  holdings of the Funds.  These
     policies  are  designed  to  assure  that   dissemination   of   non-public
     information  about  portfolio  securities is  distributed  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 a Fund.

          Until publicly disclosed, a 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, such need for
     transparency  must be balanced against the risk that third parties who gain
     access to a 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 portfolio  securities that portfolio  managers are
     trading in on a Fund's behalf.

          The Investment Advisor 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 Investment
     Advisor or any affiliated  person of the Investment  Advisor) in connection
     with the disclosure a Fund's non-public portfolio holdings.  The receipt of
     investment  advisory  fees  or  other  fees  and  compensation  paid to the
     investment Advisor and their 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.  The top 20 holdings also shall be posted on
     the Companies' website at  www.oppenheimerfunds.com  in the "Fund Profiles"
     section.  Other general  information about a Fund's portfolio  investments,
     such as portfolio composition by asset class, industry,  country, currency,
     credit rating or maturity, may also be posted with a 15-day lag.

          Except under special limited circumstances  discussed below, month-end
     lists of a Fund's  complete  portfolio  holdings may be disclosed no sooner
     than 30-days after the relevant month-end, subject to the procedures below.
     If they have not been disclosed publicly, they may be disclosed pursuant to
     special requests for legitimate business reasons, provided that:

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

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

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

          Complete  Fund  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 Investment
     Advisor, Distributor, or Transfer Agent, or their respective legal counsel,
     not to disclose such  information  except in conformity with these policies
     and procedures and not to trade for his/her  personal  account on the basis
     of such information:

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

     o The Fund's certified public accountants and auditors,

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

     o The Fund's custodian bank,

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

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

     o Portfolio pricing services retained by the Investment  Advisor to provide
     portfolio security prices, and

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

          Portfolio  holdings  information  of a  Fund  may be  provided,  under
     limited circumstances,  to brokers and dealers or 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 or
     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  Investment  Advisor'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
     Investment  Advisor in connection  with portfolio  trading,  and (2) by the
     members of the Investment Advisor's Security Valuation Group and Accounting
     Departments  in  connection  with  portfolio  pricing  or  other  portfolio
     evaluation purposes:

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

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

     o Dealers to obtain price  quotations  where the fund is not  identified as
     the owner

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

               o  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,

               o Response to regulatory requests for information (the SEC, NASD,
          state securities  regulators,  and/or foreign securities  authorities,
          including without  limitation  requests for information in inspections
          or for position reporting  purposes),  o To potential  sub-advisors of
          portfolios  (but only pursuant to  confidentiality  agreements),  o To
          consultants for retirement plans for plan  sponsors/discussions at due
          diligence   meetings  (if  entire  portfolio  holdings  are  provided,
          however,   it  shall  be  done  only  pursuant  to  a  confidentiality
          agreement), o Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions
          (but only pursuant to confidentiality agreements)

               Portfolio  managers and analysts may,  subject to the  Investment
          Advisor's  policies on communications  with the press and other media,
          discuss portfolio information in interviews with members of the media,

          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.

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

               The Investment  Advisor 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:

[DISCLOSURE OF APPLICABLE PARTIES' NAMES TO BE INSERTED HERE]


How the Fund is Managed

     Organization and History. The Fund is an open-end,  diversified  management
     investment company organized as a Maryland corporation in 1979.

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

                    The Fund  currently  has five  classes of  shares:  Class A,
               Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y. All classes  invest in the
               same investment  portfolio.  Only  retirement  plans may purchase
               Class N shares. Only certain institutional investors may elect to
               purchase Class Y shares. Each class of shares:

     o has its own dividends and distributions,

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

     o may have a different net asset value,

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

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

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

                    |X|  Meetings  of  Shareholders.  Although  the  Fund is not
               required by Maryland  law to hold  annual  meetings,  it may hold
               shareholder  meetings  from time to time on important  matters or
               when  required  to do so by the  Investment  Company Act or other
               applicable law. The shareholders of the Fund's parent corporation
               have the right to call a meeting to remove a Director  or to take
               certain other action  described in the Articles of  Incorporation
               or under Maryland law.

                    The Fund  will  hold a  meeting  when the  Directors  call a
               meeting or upon  proper  request of  shareholders.  If the Fund's
               parent  corporation  receives  a written  request  of the  record
               holders of at least 25% of the outstanding  shares eligible to be
               voted at a meeting  to call a  meeting  for a  specified  purpose
               (which might  include the removal of a Director),  the  Directors
               will call a meeting of shareholders  for that specified  purpose.
               The Fund's parent  corporation  has undertaken  that it will then
               either give the applicants access to the Fund's  shareholder list
               or mail the applicants'  communication to all other  shareholders
               at the applicants' expense.

     Board of  Directors  and  Oversight  Committees.  The Fund is governed by a
     Board of Directors,  which is  responsible  for protecting the interests of
     shareholders under Maryland law. 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  which is
               comprised  solely of  Independent  Directors.  The members of the
               Audit  Committee  are  Paul  Y.  Clinton  (Chairman),  Thomas  W.
               Courtney, Robert G. Galli, Lacy G. Herrmann and Brian Wruble. The
               Audit  Committee  met ____ times  during the Fund's  fiscal  year
               ended October 31, 2004. The Audit  Committee  furnishes the Board
               with  recommendations  regarding  the  selection  of  the  Fund's
               independent  auditor.  The Audit Committee also reviews the scope
               and results of audits and the audit fees charged, reviews reports
               from  the  Fund's  independent  auditors  concerning  the  Fund's
               internal accounting procedures and controls,  and reviews reports
               of the Manager's internal auditor among other duties as set forth
               in the Committee's charter.

         The Audit Committee's functions include selecting
and nominating, to the full Board, nominees for election as
Directors and selecting and nominating Independent Directors
for election.  The Audit 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 Committee has been able to identify
from its own resources an ample number of qualified
candidates.  Nonetheless, shareholders may submit names of
individuals, accompanies by complete and properly supported
resumes, for the Audit Committee's consideration by mailing
such information to the Committee in care of the Fund.  The
Committee may consider such persons at such time as it meets
to consider possible nominees.  The Committee, however,



reserves sole discretion to determine the candidates to
present to the Board and/or shareholders when it meets
the purpose of considering potential nominees.

          Directors  and  Officers  of the  Fund.  Each of the  Directors  is an
          "Independent  Director"  under the Investment  Company Act. The Fund's
          Directors  and  officers  and their  positions  held with the Fund and
          length of service in such  position(s)and  theirprincipal  occupations
          and business affiliations during the past five years are listed in the
          chart below.  The  information  for the  Directors  also  includes the
          dollar  range of  shares of the Fund as well as the  aggregate  dollar
          range of shares beneficially owned in any of the Oppenheimer  overseen
          by the  Directors.  All of the  Directors  are  alsrange  directors or
          trustees of the following  Oppenheimer fundange (referred to as "Board

          Fund, the Managee of its affiliates,  and retirement plans established
          by them for their  employees are permitted to purchase  Class A shares
          of the Fund and the other Oppenheimer funds at net asset value without
          sales  charge.  The sales  charge on Class A shares is waived for that
          group  because  of the  economies  of sales  efforts  realized  by the
          Distributor.

          Messrs.  Murphy,  Leavy,  Vottiero,  Wixted,  Peter  Miao,  Gillespie,
          Vandehey and Zack and Mses.  Bloomberg  and Ives,  who are officers of

          beneficially  less than 1% of each  class of  shares of the Fund.  The
          foregoing  statement does not reflect  ownership of shares of the Fund
          held of record by an employee  benefit  benefit plan for  employees of
          the Manager,  other than the sharee  beneficially owned under the plan
          by  the  officers  of  the  Fund  listed  above.  In  addition,   each

          1.  Aggregate  Compensation  From  Fund  includes  fees  and  deferred
          compensation, if any, for a Director.

          2. Estimated Annual Retirement  Benefits to be Paid Upon Retirement is
          based on a straight  life payment plan  election  with the  assumption
          that a Director will retire at the age of 75 and is eligible  (after 7
          years of service) to receive  retirement  plan  benefits as  described
          below under "Retirement Plan for Directors."

          3.  Includes  $_________  ($_____   compensation  and  $_____  accrued
          retirement  benefits) paid to Mr. Courtney for serving as a trustee or
          director by two open-end investment companies (OCC Cash Reserves, Inc.
          and PIMCO  Advisors VIT (formerly OCC  Accumulation  Trust)) for which
          the Fund's former Sub-Advisor acts as the investment advisor.

          4.  Includes   $______  ($_____   compensation   and  $______  accrued
          retirement  benefits)  paid to Mr. Clinton for serving as a trustee or
          director by two open-end investment companies (OCC Cash Reserves, Inc.
          and PIMCO Advisors VIT) for which the Fund's former  Sub-Advisor  acts
          as the investment advisor.

          5. Includes $______ estimated to be paid to Mr. Galli for serving as a
          trustee or director of __ other  Oppenheimer  funds (at  December  31,
          2003) that are not Board III Funds.

          6.  Includes  $_________  paid to Mr.  Galli for serving as trustee or
          director of __ other Oppenheimer funds (at December 31, 2003) that are
          not Board III Funds.

          7.  Includes  $_______  ($______  compensation  and  $_______  accrued
          retirement  benefits) paid to Mr. Herrmann for serving as a trustee or
          director by two open-end investment companies (OCC Cash Reserves, Inc.
          and PIMCO Advisors VIT) for which the Fund's former  Sub-Advisor  acts
          as the investment advisor.

          8. Effective 12/31/02 the OCC Cash Reserves Fund, Inc. was liquidated.
          Messrs. Clinton,  Courtney and Herrmann ceased to be directors of that
          fund  upon  its  liquidation  and  received  the  one-time  retirement
          benefits referenced above.

          * For  purposes of this  section  only,  "Fund  Complex"  includes the
          Oppenheimer  funds,  PIMCO  Advisors VIT  (formerly  OCC  Accumulation
          Trust) and OCC Cash Reserves, Inc. in accordance with the instructions
          for Form N-1A.  The Manager does not consider  PIMCO  Advisors VIT and
          OCC  Cash  Reserves,  Inc.  to be part of the  OppenheimerFunds  "Fund
          Complex"  or "Family of  Investment  Companies"  as those terms may be
          otherwise interpreted.

                    |X| Retirement  Plan for  Directors.  The Fund has adopted a
               retirement plan that provides for payments to retired  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 for
               any of the Board III Funds for at least  seven  years in order to
               be eligible for  retirement  plan  benefits and must serve for at
               least 15 years  to be  eligible  for the  maximum  benefit.  Each
               Director's  retirement  benefits will depend on the amount of the
               Director's future compensation and length of service.

                    |X| Deferred  Compensation Plan for Directors.  The Board of
               Directors   has   adopted  a  Deferred   Compensation   Plan  for
               disinterested  Directors  that  enables  them to  elect  to defer
               receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are  entitled
               to  receive  from the  Fund.  Under the  plan,  the  compensation
               deferred  by a 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  is  determined  based  upon  the
               performance of the selected funds.

                    Deferral  of  Directors'   fees  under  the  plan  will  not
               materially  affect the Fund's  assets,  liabilities or net income
               per  share.  The plan will not  obligate  the Fund to retain  the
               services  of any  Director  or to pay  any  particular  level  of
               compensation to any Director.  Pursuant to an Order issued by the
               SEC the 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 fee
               account.

                    |X| Major Shareholders.  As of  _____________2005,  the only
               persons  who  owned of  record  or were  known by the Fund to own
               beneficially  5% or more of any class of the  Fund's  outstanding
               shares;  and their  holdings of that class as of that date,  were
               the following:

      [to be provided]




          The Manager.  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.

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

                    The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the Fund's  registration
               statement  filed with the SEC and can be  reviewed  and copied at

                    Portfolio Proxy Voting. The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy
               Voting Policies and Procedures under which the Fund votes proxies
               relating to securities  ("portfolio  proxies")  held by the Fund.
               The Fund's primary  consideration in voting portfolio  proxies is
               the  financial  interests of the Fund and its  shareholders.  The
               Fund has  retained an  unaffiliated  third-party  as its agent to
               vote portfolio  proxies in accordance  with the Fund's  Portfolio
               Proxy Voting Guidelines and to maintain records of such portfolio
               proxy voting.  The Proxy Voting Guidelines  include provisions to
               address conflicts of interest that may arise between the Fund and
               OFI  where  an  OFI  directly-controlled   affiliate  manages  or
               administers the assets of a pension plan of a company  soliciting
               the proxy.  The  Fund's  Portfolio  Proxy  Voting  Guidelines  on
               routine and non-routine proxy proposals are summarized below.

          o The Fund votes with the recommendation of the issuer's management on
          routine  matters,   including  election  of  directors   nominated  by
          management and ratification of auditors, unless circumstances indicate
          otherwise.

          o In general,  the Fund opposes  anti-takeover  proposals and supports
          elimination of anti-takeover proposals, absent unusual circumstances.

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

          o The Fund opposes proposals to classify the board of directors.

          o The Fund supports proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.

          o The Fund opposes re-pricing of stock options.

          o The Fund generally considers executive  compensation  questions such
          as  stock  option  plans  and  bonus  plans  to be  ordinary  business
          activity.  The Fund  analyzes  stock option plans,  paying  particular
          attention to their dilutive effect.  While the Fund generally supports
          management  proposals,  the  Fund  opposes  plans it  considers  to be
          excessive.

                    The Fund will be  required  to file new 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.

                    |X| The Investment Advisory Agreement.  The Manager provides
               investment  advisory and management services to the Fund under an
               investment  advisory  agreement between the Manager and the Fund.
               The  Manager  handles  the Fund's  day-to-day  business,  and the
               agreement   permits  the  Manager  to  enter  into   sub-advisory
               agreements with other  registered  investment  advisers to obtain
               specialized  services  for the  Fund,  as long as the Fund is not
               obligated to pay any additional fees for those services. Prior to
               December 31,  2004,  the Manager  retained  OpCap  Advisors  (the
               "Former   Sub-Advisor")   pursuant  to  a  separate  Sub-Advisory
               Agreement,  under which the Sub-Advisor bought and sold portfolio
               securities for the Fund. The  Sub-Advisory  Agreement  expired on
               December 31, 2004.

                    The investment  advisory  agreement between the Fund and the
               Manager 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  calculation  of the Fund's net asset values per share,
               interest,  taxes,  brokerage  commissions,  fees  to  Independent
               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 fees are  allocated  to each
               class of shares based upon the relative  proportion of the Fund's
               net assets represented by that class. The management fees paid by
               the Fund to the Manager during its last three fiscal years were:

          $2,635,056.

                    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  resulting  from a good
               faith error or  omission  on its part with  respect to any of its
               duties under the agreement.

                    The  agreement  permits  the  Manager  to act as  investment
               adviser for any other person,  firm or corporation and to use the
               names  "Oppenheimer"  and "Quest for  Value" 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 names  "Oppenheimer"  or "Quest"
               as part of its name.

                    |X| Annual Approval of Investment Advisory  Agreement.  Each
               year,  the  Board  of  Directors,  including  a  majority  of the
               Independent Directors,  is required to approve the renewal of the
               investment  advisory   agreement.   The  Investment  Company  Act
               requires  that the Board  request  and  evaluate  and the Manager
               provide  such  information  as may  be  reasonably  necessary  to
               evaluate the terms of the  investment  advisory  agreements.  The
               Board employs an independent  consultant to prepare a report that
               provides such information as the Board requests for this purpose.

                    The  Board  also  receives   information   about  the  12b-1
               distribution  fees the Fund  pays.  These  distribution  fees are
               reviewed and approved at a different time of the year.

                    The Board reviewed the foregoing  information in arriving at
               its decision to renew the investment advisory  agreements.  Among
               other  factors,  the Board  considered:  o The nature,  cost, and
               quality   of  the   services   provided   to  the  Fund  and  its
               shareholders;  o The profitability of the Fund to the Manager;  o
               The  investment  performance of the Fund in comparison to regular
               market indices; o Economies of scale that may be available to the
               Fund  from the  Manager;  o Fees paid by other  mutual  funds for
               similar  services;  o The value and quality of any other benefits
               or services  received by the Fund from its relationship  with the
               Manager,  and o The  direct and  indirect  benefits  the  Manager
               received  from its  relationship  with the Fund.  These  included
               services  provided by the Distributor and the Transfer Agent, and
               brokerage and soft dollar arrangements  permissible under Section
               28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act.

                    The Board  considered  that the Manager  must be able to pay
               and retain high quality personnel at competitive rates to provide
               services to the Fund. The Board also considered that  maintaining
               the financial  viability of the Manager is important so that they
               will be able to continue to provide quality  services to the Fund
               and its  shareholders in adverse times. The Board also considered
               the  investment  performance of other mutual funds advised by the
               Manager.  The Board is aware that there are  alternatives  to the
               use of the Manager.

                    These  matters  were  also  considered  by  the  Independent
               Directors,   meeting   separately   from  the  full   Board  with
               experienced  Counsel  to the Fund who  assisted  the Board in its
               deliberations.  The Fund's  Counsel is independent of the Manager
               within  the  meaning  and intent of the SEC Rules  regarding  the
               independence of counsel.

                    After  careful  deliberation,   the  Board,   including  the
               Independent Directors, concluded that it was in the best interest
               of  shareholders to continue the investment  advisory  agreements
               for another  year.  In arriving at a decision,  the Board did not
               single  out any one  factor  or group of  factors  as being  more
               important  than  other   factors,   but  considered  all  factors
               together.  The  Board  judged  the terms  and  conditions  of the
               investment advisory agreements, including the investment advisory
               fee,  in light  of all of the  surrounding  circumstances.  After
               deliberating  the Board  approved the  following new fee schedule
               effective  January  1,  2005:  the Fund will pay the  Manager  an
               advisory fee at an annual rate that declines as the Fund's assets
               grow:  0.75% of the first  $200  million  of  average  annual net
               assets of the Fund, 0.72% of the next $200 million,  0.69% of the
               next $200 million,  0.66% of the next $200 million,  0.60% of the
               next  $700  million,  0.58% of the next $1  billion  and 0.56% of
               average annual net assets in excess of $2.5 billion. From January
               1, 2004 through  December 31, 2004, the annual  advisory fee rate
               was: 0.90% of the first $400 million of average annual net assets
               of the Fund,  0.85% of the next $400  million,  0.80% of the next
               $400 million,  0.70% of the next $400 million,  0.65% of the next
               $400 million and 0.60% of average  annual net assets in excess of
               $2 billion.

                    Brokerage  Policies of the Fund Brokerage  Provisions of the
               Investment Advisory  Agreement.  One of the duties of the Manager
               under  the  investment  advisory  agreement  is  to  arrange  the
               portfolio  transactions  for the  Fund.  The  advisory  agreement
               contains  provisions relating to the employment of broker-dealers
               to effect  the  Fund's  portfolio  transactions.  The  Manager is
               authorized  by the advisory  agreement to employ  broker-dealers,
               including  "affiliated"  brokers,  as that term is defined in the
               Investment  Company  Act.  The Manager may employ  broker-dealers
               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.  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  brokerage
               and/or  research  services to the Fund and/or the other  accounts
               over  which  the  Manager  or  its  affiliates   have  investment
               discretion.  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.

                    Rule  12b-1  under  the  Investment  Company  Act  prohibits
               (effective December 13, 2004) 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  advisor 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  Distributor
               from entering into agreements or  understandings  under which the
               Manager  directs or is  expected  to direct the Fund's  brokerage
               directly, or through a "step-out"  arrangement,  to any broker or
               dealer in consideration of that broker's or dealer's promotion or
               sale of the  Fund's  shares  or the  shares  of any of the  other
               Oppenheimer funds.

                    Brokerage  Practices.  Brokerage  for the Fund is  allocated
               subject to the  provisions of the investment  advisory  agreement
               and the  procedures and rules  described  above.  Generally,  the
               Manager's   portfolio  traders  allocate   brokerage  based  upon
               recommendations  from the Fund's  portfolio  manager.  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 available in
               U.S.  markets.  Brokerage  commissions  are  paid  primarily  for
               transactions  in listed  securities  or for certain  fixed-income
               agency transactions 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.

                         The Manager serves as investment manager to a number of
                    clients,  including other investment  companies,  and may in
                    the future act as  investment  manager or advisor to others.
                    It is the  practice of the  Manager to allocate  purchase or
                    sale  transactions  among the Fund and other  clients  whose
                    assets it manages in a manner it deems equitable.  In making
                    those  allocations,   the  Manager  considers  several  main
                    factors, including the respective investment objectives, the
                    relative   size  of  portfolio   holdings  of  the  same  or
                    comparable   securities,   the   availability  of  cash  for
                    investment,  the size of  investment  commitments  generally
                    held  and  the  opinions  of  the  persons  responsible  for
                    managing the  portfolios of the Fund and each other client's
                    accounts.

                         When orders to  purchase  or sell the same  security on
                    identical  terms  are  placed  by more than one of the funds
                    and/or other advisory accounts managed by the Manager or its
                    affiliates,  the  transactions  are  generally  executed  as
                    received,  although a fund or advisory account that does not
                    direct  trades to a specific  broker (these are called "free
                    trades") usually will have its order executed first.  Orders
                    placed by accounts that direct  trades to a specific  broker
                    will generally be executed after the free trades. All orders
                    placed  on behalf of the Fund are  considered  free  trades.
                    However, having an order placed first in the market does not
                    necessarily  guarantee the most favorable  price.  Purchases
                    are combined  where  possible for the purpose of negotiating
                    brokerage  commissions.  In some cases that  practice  might
                    have a  detrimental  effect  on the  price or  volume of the
                    security in a particular transaction for the Fund.

                         Most  purchases  of  debt   obligations  are  principal
                    transactions  at net  prices.  Instead of using a broker for
                    those  transactions,  the Fund normally  deals directly with
                    the selling or  purchasing  principal or market maker unless
                    the Manager  determines that a better price or execution can
                    be obtained by using the services of a broker.  Purchases of
                    portfolio  securities from underwriters include a commission
                    or  concession  paid  by  the  issuer  to  the  underwriter.
                    Purchases from dealers  include a spread between the bid and
                    asked prices.  The Fund seeks to obtain prompt  execution of
                    these orders at the most favorable net price.

                         The investment advisory agreement permits he Manager to
                    allocate  brokerage  for  research  services.  The  research
                    services  provided by a particular broker may be useful only
                    to one or  more of the  advisory  accounts  of the  Managers
                    affiliates.   The  investment   research  received  for  the
                    commissions  of those other  accounts  may be useful both to
                    the Fund and one or more of the  Manager's  other  accounts.
                    Investment  research  may be  supplied  to the  Manager 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,  information systems,
                    computer  hardware 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.

                         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

                    the  Fund's  classes of shares.  The  Distributor  bears the
                    expenses   normally   attributable   to   sales,   including
                    advertising   and  the   cost  of   printing   and   mailing
                    prospectuses,   other  than  those   furnished  to  existing
                    shareholders.  The  Distributor  is not  obligated to sell a
                    specific number of shares.

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

          Distribution  and Service  Plans.  The Fund has adopted a Service Plan
          for Class A shares and  Distribution  and  Service  Plans for Class B,
          Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment  Company
          Act.  Under  those  plans the Fund pays the  Distributor  for all or a
          portion of its costs  incurred  in  connection  with the  distribution
          and/or servicing of the shares of the particular  class. Each plan has
          been  approved  by a vote  of the  Board  of  Directors,  including  a
          majority of the  Independent  Directors1,  cast in person at a meeting
          called for the purpose of voting on that plan.

                         Under the Plans,  the Manager and the  Distributor  may
                    make payments to affiliates. In their sole discretion,  they
                    may also from time to time make  substantial  payments  from
                    their own  resources,  which include the profits the Manager
                    derives from the advisory fees it receives from the Fund, to
                    compensate  brokers,  dealers,  financial  institutions  and
                    other intermediaries for providing  distribution  assistance
                    and/or  administrative  services or that  otherwise  promote
                    sales of the Fund's shares.  These  payments,  some of which
                    may be referred to as "revenue  sharing,"  may relate to the
                    Fund's  inclusion  on a financial  intermediary's  preferred
                    list of funds offered to its clients.

                         Financial  intermediaries,   brokers  and  dealers  may
                    receive other  payments from the  Distributor or the Manager
                    from their own  resources in  connection  with the promotion
                    and/or  sale of shares of the Fund,  including  payments  to
                    defray  expenses  incurred in  connection  with  educational
                    seminars and meetings.  The Manager or Distributor may share
                    expenses incurred by financial  intermediaries in conducting
                    training and educational  meetings about aspects of the Fund
                    for employees of the  intermediaries  or for hosting  client
                    seminars  or  meetings  at which the Fund is  discussed.  In
                    their sole  discretion,  the Manager and/or the  Distributor
                    may  increase or decrease  the amount of payments  they make
                    from their own resources for these purposes.


                         Unless a plan is  terminated  as described  below,  the
                    plan  continues  in effect from year to year but only if the
                    Fund's  Board of  Directors  and its  Independent  Directors
                    specifically  vote  annually  to  approve  its  continuance.
                    Approval  must be by a vote  cast  in  person  at a  meeting
                    called for the purpose of voting on  continuing  the plan. A
                    plan may be terminated at any time by the vote of a majority
                    of the  Independent  Directors or by the vote of the holders
                    of a "majority" (as defined in the  Investment  Company Act)
                    of the outstanding shares of that class.

                         The Board of Directors  and the  Independent  Directors
                    must approve all material amendments to a plan. An amendment
                    to  increase  materially  the amount of  payments to be made
                    under a plan must be approved by  shareholders  of the class
                    affected  by the  amendment.  Because  Class B shares of the
                    Fund  automatically  convert  into  Class A shares 72 months
                    after  purchase,  the Fund must obtain the  approval of both
                    Class A and Class B  shareholders  for a  proposed  material
                    amendment  to the  Class A the plan  that  would  materially
                    increase payments under the plan. That approval must be by a
                    "majority" of the shares of each class, voting separately by
                    class.

                         While the plans are in  effect,  the  Treasurer  of the
                    Fund shall provide  separate written reports on the plans to
                    the Board of  Directors at least  quarterly  for its review.
                    The reports  shall  detail the amount of all  payments  made
                    under a plan and the  purpose  for which the  payments  were
                    made.  Those  reports are subject to the review and approval
                    of the Independent Directors.

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

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


                         |X|  Class A  Service  Plan  Fees.  Under  the  Class A
                    service plan,  the  Distributor  currently  uses the fees it
                    receives  from the Fund to pay  brokers,  dealers  and other
                    financial  institutions  for  personal  services and account
                    maintenance  services  they provide for their  customers who
                    hold Class A shares.  The services  include,  among  others,
                    answering  customer  inquiries about the Fund,  assisting in
                    establishing  and maintaining  accounts in the Fund,  making
                    the Fund's  investment  plans  available and providing other
                    services at the request of the Fund or the Distributor.  The
                    Class A service plan permits compensation to the Distributor
                    at a rate of up to 0.25% of  average  annual  net  assets of
                    Class A shares.  The Distributor  does not receive or retain
                    the service fee on Class A shares in accounts  for which the
                    Distributor has been listed as the  broker-dealer of record.
                    The Board of  Directors  has set that  rate.  While the plan
                    permits the Board to authorize  payments to the  Distributor
                    to reimburse  itself for services  under the plan, the Board
                    has not yet  done  so,  except  in the  case of the  special
                    arrangement   described   below,   regarding   grandfathered
                    retirement accounts.  The Distributor makes payments to plan
                    recipients  quarterly  at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%
                    of the  average  annual  net  assets  consisting  of Class A
                    shares  held in the  accounts  of the  recipients  or  their
                    customers.

                         Under the Class A distribution  plan, the plan provides
                    for  the  Fund to pay an  asset-based  sales  charge  to the
                    Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average annual net
                    assets of Class A shares of the Fund.  Effective  January 1,
                    2003, the Board set that rate to zero.  [Prior to that date,
                    the Fund paid the  Distributor an annual  asset-based  sales
                    charge   equal  to  0.15%  of  average   annual  net  assets
                    representing  Class A shares  purchased  before September 1,
                    1993,  and 0.10% of average  annual net assets  representing
                    Class  A  shares  purchased  on  or  after  that  date.  The
                    Distributor  paid the  entire  asset-based  sales  charge to
                    brokers, dealers and financial institutions.


                         With respect to purchases of Class A shares  subject to
                    a contingent  deferred  sales  charge by certain  retirement
                    plans  that  purchased  such  shares  prior to March 1, 2001
                    ("grandfathered   retirement  accounts"),   the  Distributor
                    currently  intends to pay the service fee to  recipients  in
                    advance  for the first year after the shares are  purchased.
                    During the first year the shares are sold,  the  Distributor
                    retains the service fee to reimburse itself for the costs of
                    distributing  the  shares.  After the first year  shares are
                    outstanding,  the Distributor  makes service fee payments to
                    recipients quarterly on those shares. The advance payment is
                    based  on  the  net  asset  value  of  shares  sold.  Shares
                    purchased by exchange do not qualify for the advance service
                    fee payment.  If Class A shares  purchased by  grandfathered
                    retirement accounts are redeemed during the first year after
                    their  purchase,  the recipient of the service fees on those
                    shares will be obligated to repay the Distributor a pro rata
                    portion of the  advance  payment of the  service fee made on
                    those shares.


                         For the fiscal year ended  October  31,  2004  payments
                    under the Class A  distribution  and  service  plan  totaled
                    $________,  of  which  $_______  was  service  fee  payments
                    retained  by  the   Distributor   in  connection   with  the
                    grandfathered  retirement  accounts,  described  above,  and
                    included   $_________   paid   to  an   affiliate   of   the
                    Distributor's parent company. Any unreimbursed  expenses the
                    Distributor  incurs  with  respect  to Class A shares in any
                    fiscal year cannot be recovered  in  subsequent  years.  The
                    Distributor may not use payments  received under the Class A
                    plan to pay any of its interest expenses,  carrying charges,
                    or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead.

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

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

                         The asset-based  sales charge and service fees increase
                    Class B and Class C  expenses  by 1.00% and the  asset-based
                    sales charge and service fees  increase  Class N expenses by
                    0.50% of the net assets per year of the respective classes.


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Performance of the Fund

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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


                         In  calculating  total returns for Class A shares,  the
                    current  maximum  sales charge of 5.75% (as a percentage  of
                    the offering price) is deducted from the initial  investment
                    ("P" in the  formula  below)  (unless  the  return  is shown
                    without  sales  charge,  as  described  below).  For Class B
                    shares,  payment of the applicable contingent deferred sales
                    charge is  applied,  depending  on the  period for which the
                    return is shown:  5.0% in the first year, 4.0% in the second
                    year, 3.0% in the third and fourth years,  2.0% in the fifth
                    year, 1.0% in the sixth year and none thereafter.  For Class
                    C  shares,  the 1.0%  contingent  deferred  sales  charge is
                    deducted  for returns for the one-year  period.  For Class N
                    shares,  the  1.0%  contingent   deferred  sales  charge  is
                    deducted  for returns  for the  one-year  period,  and total
                    returns for the periods  prior to  03/01/01  (the  inception
                    date for  Class N  shares)  is based on the  Fund's  Class A
                    returns,  adjusted to reflect the higher Class N 12b-1 fees.
                    There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.


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


ERV   l/n      - 1     Average Annual Total Return
  P


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



ATVD   l/n   - 1   = Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions)
---
  P



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


   ATVDR l/n     -1    =  Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions and Redemptions
         ---
         P


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

                    the Fund may also quote a  cumulative  or an average  annual
                    total return "at net asset value"  (without  deducting sales
                    charges)  for Class A,  Class B,  Class C or Class N shares.
                    There is no sales charge on Class Y shares. Each is based on
                    the difference in net asset value per share at the beginning
                    and the end of the period for a  hypothetical  investment in
                    that  class of  shares  (without  considering  front-end  or
                    contingent   deferred   sales   charges)   and  takes   into
                    consideration  the  reinvestment  of  dividends  and capital
                    gains distributions.

          Other  Performance  Comparisons.  The Fund  compares  its  performance
          annually to that of an appropriate  broadly-based  market index in its
          Annual  Report to  shareholders.  You can obtain that  information  by
          contacting  the Transfer  Agent at the addresses or telephone  numbers
          shown on the cover of this  Statement of Additional  Information.  The
          Fund may also compare its  performance  to that of other  investments,
          including  other mutual funds,  or use rankings of its  performance by
          independent   ranking   entities.   Examples   of  these   performance
          comparisons are set forth below.


                         |X|  Lipper  Rankings.  From  time to time the Fund may
                    publish  the  ranking of the  performance  of its classes of
                    shares   by   Lipper,   Inc.   ("Lipper").   Lipper   is   a
                    widely-recognized   independent   mutual   fund   monitoring
                    service.   Lipper  monitors  the  performance  of  regulated
                    investment  companies,  including the Fund,  and ranks their
                    performance  for  various  periods  in  categories  based on
                    investment styles. The Lipper performance rankings are based
                    on total  returns that include the  reinvestment  of capital
                    gain  distributions  and  income  dividends  but do not take
                    sales  charges  or taxes  into  consideration.  Lipper  also
                    publishes  "peer-group"  indices of the  performance  of all
                    mutual funds in a category  that it monitors and averages of
                    the performance of the funds in particular categories.

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


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


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


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

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

                         From  time  to  time  the  Fund  may   include  in  its
                    advertisements   and  sales   literature  the  total  return
                    performance  of  a  hypothetical   investment  account  that
                    includes shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds. The
                    combined  account may be part of an illustration of an asset
                    allocation  model  or  similar  presentation.   The  account
                    performance may combine total return performance of the Fund
                    and the total return  performance of other Oppenheimer funds
                    included in the  account.  Additionally,  from time to time,
                    the Fund's  advertisements and sales literature may include,
                    for illustrative or comparative  purposes,  statistical data
                    or other  information  about general or specific  market and
                    economic  conditions.  That  may  include,  for  example,  o
                    information  about the performance of certain  securities or
                    commodities   markets  or  segments  of  those  markets,   o
                    information  about  the  performance  of  the  economies  of
                    particular countries or regions, o the earnings of companies
                    included  in  segments of  particular  industries,  sectors,
                    securities markets, countries or regions, o the availability
                    of different types of securities or offerings of securities,
                    o  information  relating  to the  gross  national  or  gross
                    domestic  product of the United States or other countries or
                    regions,  o comparisons of various market sectors or indices
                    to demonstrate  performance,  risk, or other characteristics
                    of the Fund.

ABOUT your account

How to Buy Shares

          Additional  information is presented  below about the methods that can
          be  used  to  buy  shares  of  the  Fund.  Appendix  C  contains  more
          information about the special sales charge arrangements offered by the
          Fund, and the  circumstances  in which sales charges may be reduced or
          waived for certain classes of investors.


                         When you purchase  shares of the Fund,  your  ownership
                    interest  in the  shares of the Fund will be  recorded  as a
                    book  entry on the  records  of the Fund.  The Fund will not
                    issue or re-register physical share certificates.

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


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

And the following money market funds:

Oppenheimer Cash Reserves                                     Centennial Government Trust
Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.                           Centennial Money Market Trust
Centennial America Fund, L. P.                                Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust                        Centennial Tax Exempt Trust

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

          Letters  of  Intent.  Under a  Letter  of  Intent  ("Letter"),  if you
          purchase  Class A shares or Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and
          other Oppenheimer  funds during a 13-month period,  you can reduce the
          sales  charge rate that  applies to your  purchases of Class A shares.
          The total amount of your intended  purchases of both Class A and Class
          B shares will  determine the reduced sales charge rate for the Class A
          shares purchased during that period. You can include purchases made up
          to 90 days  before the date of the  Letter.  Letters  do not  consider
          Class C or Class N shares you purchase or may have purchased.

                         A Letter is an  investor's  statement in writing to the
                    Distributor  of the intention to purchase  Class A shares or
                    Class  A  and  Class  B  shares  of  the  Fund  (and   other
                    Oppenheimer  funds)  during a 13-month  period (the  "Letter
                    period").  At  the  investor's  request,  this  may  include
                    purchases  made  up to 90  days  prior  to the  date  of the
                    Letter.  The Letter states the investor's  intention to make
                    the  aggregate  amount of  purchases of shares  which,  when
                    added to the  investor's  holdings of shares of those funds,
                    will  equal or exceed the amount  specified  in the  Letter.
                    Purchases made by reinvestment of dividends or distributions
                    of  capital  gains and  purchases  made at net  asset  value
                    without  sales  charge do not count  toward  satisfying  the
                    amount of the Letter.

                         A Letter  enables an  investor to count the Class A and
                    Class B shares  purchased  under the  Letter  to obtain  the
                    reduced  sales charge rate on purchases of Class A shares of
                    the Fund (and other  Oppenheimer  funds) that applies  under
                    the Right of  Accumulation  to current  purchases of Class A
                    shares.  Each  purchase  of Class A shares  under the Letter
                    will be made at the  offering  price  (including  the  sales
                    charge) that applies to a single lump-sum purchase of shares
                    in the amount intended to be purchased under the Letter.

                         In   submitting  a  Letter,   the  investor   makes  no
                    commitment to purchase  shares.  However,  if the investor's
                    purchases of shares within the Letter period,  when added to
                    the value (at offering price) of the investor's  holdings of
                    shares  on the  last  day of that  period,  do not  equal or
                    exceed the intended purchase amount,  the investor agrees to
                    pay the additional amount of sales charge applicable to such
                    purchases.  That amount is  described  in "Terms of Escrow,"
                    below  (those terms may be amended by the  Distributor  from
                    time to time).  The  investor  agrees that  shares  equal in
                    value to 5% of the intended  purchase amount will be held in
                    escrow by the Transfer Agent subject to the Terms of Escrow.
                    Also,  the  investor  agrees to be bound by the terms of the
                    Prospectus, this Statement of Additional Information and the
                    application  used for a Letter.  If those terms are amended,
                    as they may be from time to time by the Fund,  the  investor
                    agrees  to be  bound by the  amended  terms  and that  those
                    amendments will apply automatically to existing Letters.

                         If the total eligible  purchases made during the Letter
                    period do not equal or exceed the intended  purchase amount,
                    the concessions  previously paid to the dealer of record for
                    the account and the amount of sales  charge  retained by the
                    Distributor  will be  adjusted  to the rates  applicable  to
                    actual total purchases.  If total eligible  purchases during
                    the Letter  period exceed the intended  purchase  amount and
                    exceed  the  amount  needed to  qualify  for the next  sales
                    charge rate reduction set forth in the Prospectus, the sales
                    charges  paid  will be  adjusted  to the  lower  rate.  That
                    adjustment  will be made only if and when the dealer returns
                    to the  Distributor  the excess of the amount of concessions
                    allowed or paid to the dealer over the amount of concessions
                    that apply to the  actual  amount of  purchases.  The excess
                    concessions  returned  to the  Distributor  will  be used to
                    purchase additional shares for the investor's account at the
                    net  asset  value  per  share in  effect on the date of such
                    purchase, promptly after the Distributor's receipt thereof.

                         The  Transfer  Agent will not hold shares in escrow for
                    purchases of shares of the Fund and other  Oppenheimer funds
                    by  OppenheimerFunds  prototype 401(k) plans under a Letter.
                    If the intended  purchase amount under a Letter entered into
                    by  an   OppenheimerFunds   prototype  401(k)  plan  is  not
                    purchased by the plan by the end of the Letter period, there
                    will  be  no   adjustment   of   concessions   paid  to  the
                    broker-dealer   or  financial   institution  of  record  for
                    accounts held in the name of that plan.

                         In determining the total amount of purchases made under
                    a  Letter,  shares  redeemed  by the  investor  prior to the
                    termination of the Letter period will be deducted. It is the
                    responsibility  of the dealer of record  and/or the investor
                    to advise the Distributor  about the Letter when placing any
                    purchase  orders for the investor  during the Letter period.
                    All of such purchases must be made through the Distributor.


         |X| Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent.


                         1. Out of the initial purchase (or subsequent purchases
                    if necessary) made pursuant to a Letter,  shares of the Fund
                    equal  in  value up to 5% of the  intended  purchase  amount
                    specified  in the  Letter  shall  be held in  escrow  by the
                    Transfer Agent. For example, if the intended purchase amount
                    is $50,000,  the escrow shall be shares valued in the amount
                    of $2,500  (computed  at the offering  price  adjusted for a
                    $50,000   purchase).   Any   dividends   and  capital  gains
                    distributions on the escrowed shares will be credited to the
                    investor's account.

                         2. If the total minimum investment  specified under the
                    Letter is completed  within the 13-month Letter period,  the
                    escrowed shares will be promptly released to the investor.

                         3. If, at the end of the  13-month  Letter  period  the
                    total  purchases  pursuant  to the  Letter are less than the
                    intended  purchase  amount  specified  in  the  Letter,  the
                    investor  must remit to the  Distributor  an amount equal to
                    the  difference  between the dollar  amount of sales charges
                    actually  paid and the amount of sales  charges  which would
                    have been paid if the total amount  purchased  had been made
                    at a single time. That sales charge adjustment will apply to
                    any shares  redeemed  prior to the completion of the Letter.
                    If the difference in sales charges is not paid within twenty
                    days after a request from the Distributor or the dealer, the
                    Distributor will, within sixty days of the expiration of the
                    Letter,  redeem the number of escrowed  shares  necessary to
                    realize  such   difference  in  sales   charges.   Full  and
                    fractional  shares  remaining  after such redemption will be
                    released  from  escrow.  If a request is  received to redeem
                    escrowed  shares  prior to the  payment  of such  additional
                    sales  charge,  the sales  charge will be withheld  from the
                    redemption proceeds.

                         4. By signing  the  Letter,  the  investor  irrevocably
                    constitutes    and   appoints   the   Transfer    Agent   as
                    attorney-in-fact  to  surrender  for  redemption  any or all
                    escrowed shares.

                         5. The shares  eligible for  purchase  under the Letter
                    (or the holding of which may be counted toward completion of
                    a Letter) include:

          (a) Class A shares sold with a front-end  sales charge or subject to a
          Class A contingent deferred sales charge,

          (b) Class B shares of other  Oppenheimer  funds acquired  subject to a
          contingent deferred sales charge, and

          (c) Class A or Class B shares acquired by exchange of either (1) Class
          A shares  of one of the other  Oppenheimer  funds  that were  acquired
          subject to a Class A initial or  contingent  deferred  sales charge or
          (2)  Class B shares of one of the other  Oppenheimer  funds  that were
          acquired subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

                         6. Shares held in escrow  hereunder will  automatically
                    be exchanged for shares of another fund to which an exchange
                    is requested,  as described in the section of the Prospectus
                    entitled  "How to  Exchange  Shares"  and the escrow will be
                    transferred to that other fund.

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

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

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


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


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

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

          Classes of  Shares.  Each  class of shares of the Fund  represents  an
          interest in the same portfolio of  investments  of the Fund.  However,
          each class has different shareholder  privileges and features. The net
          income  attributable  to  Class B,  Class C or Class N shares  and the
          dividends  payable  on  Class B,  Class C or  Class N  shares  will be
          reduced by  incremental  expenses  borne  solely by that class.  Those
          expenses include the asset-based sales charges to which Class B, Class
          C and Class N shares are subject.

                         The availability of different classes of shares permits
                    an investor to choose the method of  purchasing  shares that
                    is more appropriate for the investor. That may depend on the
                    amount of the  purchase,  the  length  of time the  investor
                    expects to hold shares,  and other  relevant  circumstances.
                    Class A shares normally are sold subject to an initial sales
                    charge.  While  Class B, Class C and Class N shares  have no
                    initial  sales  charge,  the purpose of the  deferred  sales
                    charge and asset-based  sales charge on Class B, Class C and
                    Class N  shares  is the  same as that of the  initial  sales
                    charge on Class A shares - to compensate the Distributor and
                    brokers, dealers and financial institutions that sell shares
                    of the  Fund.  A  salesperson  who is  entitled  to  receive
                    compensation  from his or her firm for  selling  Fund shares
                    may receive different levels of compensation for selling one
                    class of shares rather than another.


                         The  Distributor  will not accept a  purchase  order of
                    $100,000  or more for Class B shares or a purchase  order of
                    $1 million or more to purchase Class C shares on behalf of a
                    single  investor  (not  including  dealer  "street  name" or
                    omnibus accounts).


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


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

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

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

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

                  Pension Plans,

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

          o to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,

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

          o to  Group  Retirement  Plans  (as  defined  in  Appendix  C to  this
          Statement of Additional Information) which have entered into a special
          agreement with the Distributor for that purpose,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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


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


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

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


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

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

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


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

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

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

          o Accounts of shareholders that are held by  broker-dealers  under the
          NSCC Fund/SERV system;

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

          o Omnibus accounts holding shares pursuant to the Pinnacle,  Ascender,
          Custom Plus,  Recordkeeper  Pro and Pension  Alliance  Retirement Plan
          programs; and

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


                         To access account  documents  electronically  via eDocs
                    Direct,  please  visit the Service  Center on our website at
                    www.oppenheimerfunds.com    or   call   1.888.470.0862   for

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


          Determination  of Net Asset Values Per Share. The net asset values per
          share of each  class of  shares of the Fund are  determined  as of the
          close of  business of the  Exchange  on each day that the  Exchange is
          open. The  calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund's net
          assets  attributable  to a class by the number of shares of that class
          that are  outstanding.  The  Exchange  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  Exchange'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 Exchange members may conduct trading
                    in  certain  securities  on days on which  the  Exchange  is
                    closed (including  weekends and holidays) or after 4:00 P.M.
                    on a regular  business  day.  Because  the  Fund's net asset
                    values will not be calculated on those days,  the Fund's net
                    asset values per share may be significantly affected on such
                    days when  shareholders  may not purchase or redeem  shares.
                    Additionally,  trading on European and Asian stock exchanges
                    and  over-the-counter  markets  normally is completed before
                    the close of the Exchange.

                         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  Exchange,  will not be  reflected  in the
                    Fund's  calculation  of its net asset values that day unless
                    the Manager  determines that the event is likely to effect a
                    material  change in the value of the security.  The Manager,
                    or  an  internal  valuation  committee  established  by  the
                    Manager,  as  applicable,  may establish a valuation,  under
                    procedures  established  by the  Board  and  subject  to the
                    approval,  ratification and confirmation by the Board at its
                    next ensuing meeting.


                         |X| 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:

          o  Equity  securities  traded  on a  U.S.  securities  exchange  or on
          Nasdaq(R)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  or  on  Nasdaq,  as
          applicable, 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.

          o 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.

          o 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.

          o 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.

               o 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.

               o  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  London  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 or
                    on Nasdaq, as applicable, 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 or on Nasdaq on the  valuation  date. If
                    not,  the  value  shall  be the  closing  bid  price  on the
                    principal  exchange or on Nasdaq on the  valuation  date. If
                    the put,  call or future is not traded on an  exchange or on
                    Nasdaq,  it shall be  valued by the mean  between  "bid" and
                    "asked"  prices  obtained  by the  Manager  from two  active
                    market  makers.  In  certain  cases that may be at the "bid"
                    price if no "asked" price is available.

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

How to Sell Shares

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

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

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

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

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

                         The  reinvestment may be made without sales charge only
                    in  Class  A  shares  of  the  Fund  or  any  of  the  other
                    Oppenheimer   funds  into  which  shares  of  the  Fund  are
                    exchangeable as described in "How to Exchange Shares" below.
                    Reinvestment  will be at the net asset  value next  computed
                    after the Transfer  Agent receives the  reinvestment  order.
                    The  shareholder  must  ask  the  Transfer  Agent  for  that
                    privilege at the time of  reinvestment.  This privilege does
                    not apply to Class C,  Class N or Class Y  shares.  The Fund
                    may  amend,  suspend  or cease  offering  this  reinvestment
                    privilege at any time as to shares  redeemed  after the date
                    of such amendment, suspension or cessation.

                         Any capital gain that was realized when the shares were
                    redeemed is  taxable,  and  reinvestment  will not alter any
                    capital  gains tax payable on that gain. If there has been a
                    capital loss on the redemption,  some or all of the loss may
                    not be tax deductible, depending on the timing and amount of
                    the  reinvestment.  Under the Internal  Revenue Code, if the
                    redemption  proceeds of Fund shares on which a sales  charge
                    was paid are  reinvested in shares of the Fund or another of
                    the Oppenheimer funds within 90 days of payment of the sales
                    charge,  the  shareholder's  basis in the shares of the Fund
                    that were  redeemed  may not include the amount of the sales
                    charge paid. That would reduce the loss or increase the gain
                    recognized  from the redemption.  However,  in that case the
                    sales  charge  would  be added  to the  basis of the  shares
                    acquired by the reinvestment of the redemption proceeds.

               Payments "In Kind". The Prospectus states that payment for shares
               tendered for  redemption  is  ordinarily  made in cash.  However,
               under certain  circumstances,  the Board of Directors of the Fund
               may determine  that it would be detrimental to the best interests
               of the  remaining  shareholders  of the Fund to make payment of a
               redemption order wholly or partly in cash. In that case, the Fund
               may  pay  the  redemption  proceeds  in  whole  or in  part  by a
               distribution "in kind" of liquid securities from the portfolio of
               the Fund, in lieu of cash.

                         The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under
                    the  Investment  Company Act.  Under that rule,  the Fund is
                    obligated to redeem  shares  solely in cash up to the lesser
                    of  $250,000  or 1% of the net assets of the Fund during any
                    90-day  period  for  any  one  shareholder.  If  shares  are
                    redeemed  in kind,  the  redeeming  shareholder  might incur
                    brokerage or other costs in selling the securities for cash.
                    The Fund will value  securities  used to pay  redemptions in
                    kind  using  the  same  method  the Fund  uses to value  its
                    portfolio securities described above under "Determination of
                    Net Asset Values Per Share." That  valuation will be made as
                    of the time the redemption price is determined.

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

               Transfers  of  Shares.  A  transfer  of  shares  to  a  different
               registration  is not an event that  triggers the payment of sales
               charges.  Therefore,  shares are not  subject to the payment of a
               contingent  deferred  sales  charge  of any  class at the time of
               transfer  to the name of another  person or  entity.  It does not
               matter whether the transfer occurs by absolute  assignment,  gift
               or  bequest,  as  long  as  it  does  not  involve,  directly  or
               indirectly, a public sale of the shares. When shares subject to a
               contingent deferred sales charge are transferred, the transferred
               shares  will  remain  subject to the  contingent  deferred  sales
               charge.  It will be calculated as if the  transferee  shareholder
               had acquired the transferred shares in the same manner and at the
               same time as the transferring shareholder.

                         If  less  than  all  shares  held  in  an  account  are
                    transferred,  and some  but not all  shares  in the  account
                    would be subject to a  contingent  deferred  sales charge if
                    redeemed at the time of transfer,  the priorities  described
                    in  the  Prospectus  under  "How  to  Buy  Shares"  for  the
                    imposition  of the Class B,  Class C and Class N  contingent
                    deferred  sales charge will be followed in  determining  the
                    order in which shares are transferred.

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

               (1) state the reason for the distribution;

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

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

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

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

               Special  Arrangements  for  Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and
               Brokers.  The  Distributor  is the Fund's agent to repurchase its
               shares  from  authorized  dealers  or  brokers on behalf of their
               customers.  Shareholders should contact their broker or dealer to
               arrange this type of redemption.  The repurchase  price per share
               will be the net asset value next computed  after the  Distributor
               receives an order placed by the dealer or broker. However, if the
               Distributor  receives a repurchase  order from a dealer or broker
               after the close of the  Exchange  on a regular  business  day, it
               will be  processed at that day's net asset value if the order was
               received by the dealer or broker from its customers  prior to the
               time the Exchange closes.  Normally,  the Exchange closes at 4:00
               P.M., but may do so earlier on some days. Additionally, the order
               must have been  transmitted  to and  received by the  Distributor
               prior to its close of business that day (normally 5:00 P.M.).

                         Ordinarily,  for accounts  redeemed by a  broker-dealer
                    under this  procedure,  payment  will be made  within  three
                    business  days after the shares have been  redeemed upon the
                    Distributor's  receipt of the required redemption  documents
                    in proper form. The signature(s) of the registered owners on
                    the redemption  documents must be guaranteed as described in
                    the Prospectus.

               Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans.  Investors owning shares
               of the Fund valued at $5,000 or more can  authorize  the Transfer
               Agent  to  redeem  shares  (having  a  value  of  at  least  $50)
               automatically  on a  monthly,  quarterly,  semi-annual  or annual
               basis under an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Shares will be redeemed
               three   business  days  prior  to  the  date   requested  by  the
               shareholder for receipt of the payment.  Automatic withdrawals of
               up to $1,500 per month may be  requested by telephone if payments
               are to be made by check  payable to all  shareholders  of record.
               Payments  must  also be sent to the  address  of  record  for the
               account and the  address  must not have been  changed  within the
               prior   30   days.    Required   minimum    distributions    from
               OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  retirement  plans may not be arranged
               on this basis.

                         Payments are normally made by check,  but  shareholders
                    having AccountLink  privileges (see "How To Buy Shares") may
                    arrange  to  have   Automatic   Withdrawal   Plan   payments
                    transferred  to the bank account  designated  on the account
                    application or by signature-guaranteed  instructions sent to
                    the Transfer Agent. Shares are normally redeemed pursuant to
                    an Automatic  Withdrawal Plan three business days before the
                    payment   transmittal   date  you  select  in  the   account
                    application.  If a contingent  deferred sales charge applies
                    to the  redemption,  the amount of the check or payment will
                    be reduced accordingly.

                         The Fund cannot  guarantee  receipt of a payment on the
                    date  requested.  The Fund  reserves  the  right  to  amend,
                    suspend  or  discontinue  offering  these  plans at any time
                    without prior notice.  Because of the sales charge  assessed
                    on Class A share  purchases,  shareholders  should  not make
                    regular   additional   Class   A   share   purchases   while
                    participating  in an  Automatic  Withdrawal  Plan.  Class B,
                    Class  C and  Class  N  shareholders  should  not  establish
                    automatic   withdrawal  plans,   because  of  the  potential
                    imposition of the  contingent  deferred sales charge on such
                    withdrawals  (except  where the Class B,  Class C or Class N
                    contingent  deferred  sales charge is waived as described in
                    Appendix C to this Statement of Additional Information).

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


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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

How to Exchange Shares

               As stated in the  Prospectus,  shares  of a  particular  class of
               Oppenheimer  funds  having  more than one class of shares  may be
               exchanged only for shares of the same class of other  Oppenheimer
               funds.  Shares of  Oppenheimer  funds  that  have a single  class
               without a class  designation are deemed "Class A" shares for this

               investor's  dealer must notify the Distributor of eligibility for

                    changes  at any time,  it will  provide  you with  notice of

                    Charges.  No contingent  deferred sales charge is imposed on

                    exceptions:

                    than  Rochester  National   Municipals  and  Rochester  Fund
                    Municipals)  acquired  by  exchange of Class A shares of any
                    Oppenheimer  fund purchased  subject to a Class A contingent
                    deferred sales charge are redeemed within 18 months measured

                    A shares of any  Oppenheimer  fund  purchased  subject  to a
                    Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within
                    24  months of the  beginning  of the  calendar  month of the
                    initial purchase of the exchanged Class A shares,  the Class
                    A  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  is  imposed  on  the
                    redeemed shares.

                    that are exchanged for Class A shares of Oppenheimer  Senior
                    Floating  Rate Fund are  subject  to the Class A  contingent
                    deferred sales charge of the other  Oppenheimer  fund at the
                    time of  exchange,  the  holding  period  for  that  Class A
                    contingent  deferred  sales  charge  will  carry over to the
                    Class A shares  of  Oppenheimer  Senior  Floating  Rate Fund
                    acquired in the exchange.  The Class A shares of Oppenheimer

                    Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased  subject to
                    a Class A  contingent  deferred  sales  charge are  redeemed
                    within the Class A holding period of the fund from which the
                    shares were exchanged, the Class A contingent deferred sales
                    charge of the fund from which the shares were  exchanged  is
                    imposed on the redeemed shares.

               charge is imposed on Class B shares  acquired by exchange if they
               are  redeemed  within  5 years  of the  initial  purchase  of the

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

               o With respect to Class N shares, a 1% contingent  deferred sales
               charge will be imposed if the retirement plan (not including IRAs

               determining  the order in which the shares are exchanged.  Before
               exchanging shares,  shareholders should take into account how the
               exchange  may affect any  contingent  deferred  sales charge that
               might  be  imposed  in the  subsequent  redemption  of  remaining
               shares.

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


                         |X|  Limits  on  Multiple  Exchange  Orders.  The  Fund
                    reserves the right to reject  telephone or written  exchange
                    requests  submitted in bulk by anyone on behalf of more than
                    one account.

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

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


                         When you  exchange  some or all of your shares from one
                    fund to another,  any  special  account  feature  such as an
                    Asset  Builder Plan or Automatic  Withdrawal  Plan,  will be
                    switched  to the  new  fund  account  unless  you  tell  the
                    Transfer Agent not to do so. However, special redemption and
                    exchange  features  such as  Automatic  Exchange  Plans  and
                    Automatic  Withdrawal Plans cannot be switched to an account
                    in Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund.

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

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

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

               Dividends and Distributions.  The Fund has no fixed dividend rate
               and there can be no assurance as to the payment of any  dividends
               or the  realization  of any  capital  gains.  The  dividends  and
               distributions  paid by a class of  shares  will vary from time to
               time  depending  on market  conditions,  the  composition  of the
               Fund's  portfolio,  and  expenses  borne  by the  Fund  or  borne
               separately  by a  class.  Dividends  are  calculated  in the same
               manner,  at the same time,  and on the same day for each class of
               shares. However, dividends on Class B, Class C and Class N shares
               are  expected to be lower than  dividends  on Class A and Class Y
               shares.  That is because of the effect of the  asset-based  sales
               charge on Class B,  Class C and Class N shares.  Those  dividends
               will also differ in amount as a consequence  of any difference in
               the net asset values of the different classes of shares.

                         Dividends, distributions and proceeds of the redemption
                    of  Fund  shares  represented  by  checks  returned  to  the
                    Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as  undeliverable  will
                    be invested in shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.
                    Reinvestment  will be made as promptly as possible after the
                    return of such checks to the Transfer  Agent,  to enable the
                    investor to earn a return on otherwise idle funds. Unclaimed
                    accounts may be subject to state  escheatment  laws, and the
                    Fund  and  the   Transfer   Agent  will  not  be  liable  to
                    shareholders  or their  representatives  for compliance with
                    those laws in good faith.

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

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


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


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

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

                         To qualify as a regulated  investment company, the Fund
                    must derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends,
                    interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans,
                    gains  from  the  sale or  other  disposition  of  stock  or
                    securities  or  foreign   currencies  (to  the  extent  such
                    currency  gains  are  directly   related  to  the  regulated
                    investment  company's  principal  business of  investing  in
                    stock or securities) and certain other income.

                         In addition to satisfying  the  requirements  described
                    above, the Fund must satisfy an asset  diversification  test
                    in order to qualify as a regulated investment company. Under
                    that  test,  at the  close  of each  quarter  of the  Fund's
                    taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets
                    must consist of cash and cash items (including receivables),
                    U.S.  government  securities,  securities of other regulated
                    investment companies, and securities of other issuers. As to
                    each of those issuers,  the Fund must not have invested more
                    than  5%  of  the  value  of  the  Fund's  total  assets  in
                    securities  of each such  issuer  and the Fund must not hold
                    more than 10% of the outstanding  voting  securities of each
                    such  issuer.  No more  than 25% of the  value of its  total
                    assets may be invested in the  securities  of any one issuer
                    (other than U.S.  government  securities  and  securities of
                    other  regulated  investment  companies),  or in two or more
                    issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the
                    same or similar trades or  businesses.  For purposes of this
                    test,  obligations  issued or guaranteed by certain agencies
                    or  instrumentalities  of the U.S. government are treated as
                    U.S. government securities.


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

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


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

                         The  Fund  may   either   retain   or   distribute   to
                    shareholders its net capital gain for each taxable year. The
                    Fund currently  intends to distribute  any such amounts.  If
                    net long term capital gains are  distributed  and designated
                    as a  capital  gain  distribution,  it  will be  taxable  to
                    shareholders  as  a  long-term  capital  gain  and  will  be
                    properly  identified  in  reports  sent to  shareholders  in
                    January of each year.  Such  treatment  will apply no matter
                    how long the  shareholder  has  held  his or her  shares  or
                    whether  that gain was  recognized  by the Fund  before  the
                    shareholder acquired his or her shares.

                         If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain,  the
                    Fund will be subject to tax on it at the 35%  corporate  tax
                    rate. If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the
                    Fund will provide to  shareholders of record on the last day
                    of its taxable  year  information  regarding  their pro rata
                    share  of  the  gain  and  tax  paid.  As  a  result,   each
                    shareholder  will be  required to report his or her pro rata
                    share of such gain on their tax return as long-term  capital
                    gain,  will receive a refundable  tax credit for his/her pro
                    rata  share of tax paid by the  Fund on the  gain,  and will
                    increase the tax basis for his/her shares by an amount equal
                    to the deemed distribution less the tax credit.

                         Investment income that may be received by the Fund from
                    sources within  foreign  countries may be subject to foreign
                    taxes withheld at the source.  The United States has entered
                    into tax treaties with many foreign  countries which entitle
                    the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption  from,  taxes on
                    such income.

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

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

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


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


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


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

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


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

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

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

Additional Information About the Fund

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

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

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


               Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. KPMG LLP served as
               an Independent  Registered  Public  Accounting  Firm to the Fund.
               KPMG LLP audits  the Fund's  financial  statements  and  performs
               other  related  audit   services.   KPMG  LLP  also  act  as  the
               independent  registered  public accounting firm for 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.

                                                RATINGS DEFINITIONS
                                                -------------------

               Below  are  summaries  of  the  rating  definitions  used  by the
               nationally-recognized rating agencies listed below. Those ratings
               represent  the opinion of the agency as to the credit  quality of
               issues  that they  rate.  The  summaries  below  are  based  upon
               publicly   available   information   provided   by   the   rating
               organizations.

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:

               o 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;

               o Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and

               o  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" have 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"  differ  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" are 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"  exhibit  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

               An obligation 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" are 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" are 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" are  currently  vulnerable  to
               nonpayment, and are 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" are 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" are 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',   `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:

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

               o 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 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.

                                                    Appendix C

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers
--------------------------------------------------------------

               In certain  cases,  the  initial  sales  charge  that  applies to
               purchases  of Class A  shares1  of the  Oppenheimer  funds or the
               contingent deferred sales charge that may apply to Class A, Class
               B or  Class C  shares  may be  waived.2  That is  because  of the
               economies   of  sales   efforts   realized  by   OppenheimerFunds
               Distributor,   Inc.,   (referred  to  in  this  document  as  the
               "Distributor"),  or by  dealers or other  financial  institutions
               that offer those shares to certain classes of investors.

               Not all waivers apply to all funds. For example, waivers relating
               to Retirement Plans do not apply to Oppenheimer  municipal funds,
               because  shares of those funds are not  available for purchase by
               or on behalf of  retirement  plans.  Other  waivers apply only to
               shareholders of certain funds.

               For the  purposes of some of the waivers  described  below and in
               the  Prospectus  and Statement of Additional  Information  of the
               applicable  Oppenheimer  funds, the term "Retirement Plan" refers
               to the  following  types  of  plans:  1)  plans  qualified  under
               Sections  401(a) or  401(k)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  2)
               non-qualified  deferred  compensation  plans, 3) employee benefit
               plans3 4) Group  Retirement  Plans4 5) 403(b)(7)  custodial  plan
               accounts 6) Individual  Retirement  Accounts ("IRAs"),  including
               traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

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


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





               Applicability  of Class A Contingent  Deferred  Sales  Charges in
               Certain Cases


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

                         There is no initial  sales charge on purchases of Class
                    A shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed
                    below. However,  these purchases may be subject to the Class
                    A contingent  deferred  sales  charge if redeemed  within 18
                    months  (24  months  in the  case of  Oppenheimer  Rochester
                    National  Municipals and Rochester  Fund  Municipals) of the
                    beginning  of the  calendar  month  of  their  purchase,  as
                    described  in the  Prospectus  (unless  a  waiver  described
                    elsewhere  in  this  Appendix  applies  to the  redemption).
                    Additionally,  on shares  purchased under these waivers that
                    are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge,
                    the Distributor will pay the applicable concession described
                    in the Prospectus  under "Class A Contingent  Deferred Sales
                    Charge."5 This waiver provision applies to:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

               2) The record keeping for the  Retirement  Plan is performed on a
               daily  valuation  basis by a record  keeper  whose  services  are
               provided under a contract or  arrangement  between the Retirement
               Plan and Merrill  Lynch.  On the date the plan sponsor  signs the
               record keeping  service  agreement  with Merrill Lynch,  the Plan
               must have $3  million  or more of its  assets  (excluding  assets
               invested  in  money   market   funds)   invested  in   Applicable
               Investments.

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

               purchases.

               |_| A TRAC-2000  401(k) plan  (sponsored  by the former Quest for
               Value Advisors) whose Class B or Class C shares of a Former Quest
               for Value Fund were exchanged for Class A shares of that Fund due

               on November 24, 1995.

               |_| A qualified  Retirement  Plan that had agreed with the former
               Quest for Value Advisors to purchase  shares of any of the Former

               |_| Shares  issued in plans of  reorganization,  such as mergers,
               asset  acquisitions and exchange  offers,  to which the Fund is a
               party.

               |_| Shares  purchased by the  reinvestment  of dividends or other

               |_| Shares  purchased by the reinvestment of loan repayments by a
               participant  in a  Retirement  Plan for which the  Manager  or an

                    charges  will be  waived  for  redemptions  of shares in the

                    established, and for disability you must provide evidence of
                    a  determination   of  disability  by  the  Social  Security

     contingent  deferred  sales charge on an amount equal to the current market
     value or the  original  purchase  price of the shares  sold,  whichever  is

     Combined  Purchases or Rights of Accumulation,  who still hold those shares
     in that Fund or other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and

     2) persons whose intended  purchases under a Statement of Intention entered

     Former  Connecticut  Mutual Funds to purchase  shares valued at $500,000 or
     more over a 13-month  period  entitled those persons to purchase  shares at
     net asset value without being subject to the Class A initial sales charge

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

     more of the Former  Connecticut Mutual Funds or a Fund into which such Fund
     merged;

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

     3)  Directors  of the  Fund or any one or  more of the  Former  Connecticut

     institution had an agreement with CMFS.

                    Connecticut Mutual Funds described above.

                         Additionally, Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased
                    without a sales  charge by any holder of a variable  annuity
                    contract issued in New York State by Connecticut Mutual Life
                    Insurance  Company  through the  Panorama  Separate  Account

                    which  was used to fund a  qualified  plan,  if that  holder
                    exchanges  the  variable  annuity  contract  proceeds to buy
                    Class A shares of the Fund.

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

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

     1) by the estate of a deceased shareholder;

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

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

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

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

     6) in  connection  with  the  redemption  of  shares  of the  Fund due to a
     combination  with  another  investment  company  by  virtue  of  a  merger,
     acquisition or similar reorganization transaction;

     7) in connection with the Fund's right to involuntarily redeem or liquidate
     the Fund;

     8) in connection  with automatic  redemptions of Class A shares and Class B
     shares  in  certain  retirement  plan  accounts  pursuant  to an  Automatic
     Withdrawal  Plan but  limited  to no more  than 12% of the  original  value
     annually; or

     9) as  involuntary  redemptions  of shares by  operation  of law,  or under
     procedures set forth in the Fund's Articles of Incorporation, or as adopted
     by the Board of Directors of the Fund.

     VI. Special Reduced Sales Charge for Former Shareholders of Advance America
     Funds, Inc.


     Shareholders  of  Oppenheimer   AMT-Free   Municipals,   Oppenheimer   U.S.
     Government Trust, Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund and Oppenheimer Capital
     Income Fund who acquired (and still hold) shares of those funds as a result
     of the  reorganization  of series of Advance America Funds, Inc. into those
     Oppenheimer  funds on  October  18,  1991,  and who held  shares of Advance
     America Funds, Inc. on March 30, 1990, may purchase Class A shares of those
     four Oppenheimer funds at a maximum sales charge rate of 4.50%.

     VII.  Sales Charge  Waivers on  Purchases of Class M Shares of  Oppenheimer
     Convertible Securities Fund


     Oppenheimer  Convertible Securities Fund (referred to as the "Fund" in this
     section)  may sell Class M shares at net asset  value  without  any initial
     sales charge to the classes of investors  listed below who,  prior to March
     11,  1996,  owned  shares  of the  Fund's  then-existing  Class A and  were
     permitted to purchase those shares at net asset value without sales charge:

     |_| the Manager and its affiliates,

     |_| present or former  officers,  directors,  trustees and  employees  (and
     their "immediate families" as defined in the Fund's Statement of Additional
     Information)  of the Fund, the Manager and its  affiliates,  and retirement
     plans  established by them or the prior investment  advisor of the Fund for
     their employees,

     |_|  registered  management  investment  companies or separate  accounts of
     insurance  companies that had an agreement with the Fund's prior investment
     advisor or distributor for that purpose,

     |_| dealers or brokers that have a sales agreement with the Distributor, if
     they  purchase  shares for their own accounts or for  retirement  plans for
     their employees,

     |_| employees and registered representatives (and their spouses) of dealers
     or brokers  described in the  preceding  section or financial  institutions
     that have entered  into sales  arrangements  with those  dealers or brokers
     (and  whose  identity  is  made  known  to the  Distributor)  or  with  the
     Distributor,  but only if the purchaser certifies to the Distributor at the
     time of purchase that the purchaser meets these qualifications,

     |_| dealers,  brokers,  or registered  investment advisors that had entered
     into an agreement with the Distributor or the prior distributor of the Fund
     specifically  providing  for  the  use of  Class M  shares  of the  Fund in
     specific investment products made available to their clients, and

     dealers, brokers or registered investment advisors that had entered into an
     agreement with the Distributor or prior distributor of the Fund's shares to
     sell shares to defined contribution employee retirement plans for which the
     dealer, broker, or investment advisor provides administrative services.

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

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

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

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

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

     6 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

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

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

     9 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

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

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

Item 24.  Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund
---------------------------------------------------------------------

None.

Item 25.  Indemnification
-------------------------


     Reference  is made to the  provisions  of  Article  Seven  of  Registrant's
     Amended and Restated  Declaration  of Trust filed as Exhibit  23(a) to this
     Registration Statement, and incorporated herein by reference.


     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
     of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  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.  In the event
     that a claim for  indemnification  against such liabilities (other than the
     payment by Registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer
     or  controlling  person of  Registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any
     action,  suit or  proceeding)  is  asserted  by such  director,  officer or
     controlling  person,  Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
     the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,  submit to a court of
     appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
     against  public policy as expressed in the  Securities Act of 1933 and will
     be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 26.  Business and Other Connections of the Investment Adviser
