ABOUT THE FUND

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

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

The Fund's  Investment  Policies.  The allocation 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.

      |X|  Convertible  Securities.  Convertible  securities are  fixed-income
securities  that may be exchanged for or converted into the underlying  common
stock of the issuer at the option of the holder  during a specified  period of
time.  Convertible  securities  may  take the  form of  convertible  preferred
stock,  convertible  bonds or notes,  or other  fixed-income  securities  with
stock  purchase  warrants.  They may have a  combination  of the  features  of
several of these securities.

      Because of the conversion feature,  the price of a convertible  security
normally  will vary in  proportion  to changes in the price of the  underlying
common  stock.  Convertible  securities  in general  are subject to less price
volatility than the common stocks into which they are  convertible  because of
their  comparatively  higher yields.  The investment  characteristics  of each
convertible   security  vary,  and  that  variety  enables  the  Fund  to  use
convertible  securities in different ways to pursue its  investment  objective
of high total return. For example, the Fund can invest in:
o     convertible  securities  that provide a relatively high level of income,
      with less appreciation potential,
o     convertible  securities  that have  high  appreciation  potential  and a
      relatively low level of income, and
o     convertible  securities that provide some combination of both income and
      appreciation potential.

      Convertible  bonds and  convertible  preferred  stocks are  fixed-income
securities  that  retain  the  investment   characteristics   of  fixed-income
securities  until they have been converted.  The holder is entitled to receive
the fixed income of a bond or the  dividend  preference  of a preferred  stock
until the holder  elects to exercise  the  conversion  privilege.  Convertible
securities  are senior  securities  and  therefore  have a claim  against  the
assets of the  issuing  corporation  that is superior to the claims of holders
of the issuer's common stock upon liquidation of the corporation.  Convertible
securities,  however,  are generally  subordinated to similar  non-convertible
securities  of the same  company.  The  interest  income  and  dividends  from
convertible  bonds and preferred  stocks provide  income  potential and yields
that are generally  higher than common stocks,  but which are generally  lower
than non-convertible securities of similar credit quality.

      As with all fixed-income securities, convertible securities are subject
to changes in value from changes in the level of prevailing interest rates.
However, the conversion feature of convertible securities, giving the owner
the right to exchange them for the issuer's common stock, in general causes
the market value of convertible securities to increase when the value of the
underlying common stock increases, and to fall when the stock price falls.
Since securities prices fluctuate, however, there can be no assurance that
the market value of convertible securities will increase. Convertible
securities generally do not have the same potential for capital appreciation
as the underlying stock. When the value of the underlying common stock is
falling, the value of the convertible security may not experience the same
decline as the underlying common stock. It tends to decline to a level (often
called investment value) approximating the yield-to-maturity basis of
non-convertible debt of similar credit quality.

      Many  convertible  securities  sell at a premium  over their  conversion
values.  Conversion  value is the  number  of  shares  of  common  stock to be
received upon conversion  multiplied by the current market price of the stock.
That  premium  represents  the  price  investors  are  willing  to pay for the
privilege of purchasing a fixed-income  security  having capital  appreciation
potential because of the conversion privilege.  If the Fund buys a convertible
security at a premium,  there can be no assurance that the  underlying  common
stock  will  appreciate  enough  for the Fund to  recover  the  premium on the
convertible security.

      While some convertible  securities are a form of debt security,  in many
cases their conversion  feature (allowing  conversion into equity  securities)
causes them to be regarded by the Manager more as "equity  equivalents."  As a
result,  the credit  rating  assigned to the  security  has less impact on the
Manager's   investment   decision   than  in  the   case  of   non-convertible
fixed-income securities.

      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 prevailing  interest rates fall and
decrease when prevailing  interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds
the investment  value,  the security will behave more like an equity security.
In that case 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.

      |X| Convertible  Preferred Stock.  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  to the
issuer's  common stock.  "Participating"  preferred stock 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 the stock to be called or redeemed  prior to its maturity,  which can
have a negative  impact on the  stock's  price 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.

      While preferred stock is an equity security,  some convertible preferred
stock has  characteristics  of both a debt  security and a call option.  These
securities  can be  considered  derivative  securities  because  of their call
option component,  described below.  Typically these stocks are convertible to
common  stock after a  three-year  period  (although  they are callable by the
issuer prior to  conversion).  They pay a cumulative,  fixed  dividend that is
senior to, and expected to be in excess of, the  dividends  paid on the common
stock of the same issuer.

            o Mandatory-Conversion  Securities.  The Fund can also invest in a
more  recently-developed  variety of  convertible  securities  referred  to as
"mandatory-conversion  securities."  These  securities may combine  several of
the  features  of  debt  securities  and  equity  securities,  including  both
preferred  stock  and  common  stock.  Unlike  more  traditional   convertible
securities,  however,  many of these  securities  have a mandatory  conversion
feature  and an  adjustable  conversion  ratio.  As a  result,  many of  these
securities  offer  limited  potential  for capital  appreciation  and, in some
instances, are subject to unlimited potential for loss of capital.

      These securities are designed and marketed by major  investment  banking
firms  and  trade  in  the  marketplace   under  various   acronyms  that  are
proprietary  to the  investment  banking  firm.  The  Fund may be  exposed  to
counter-party risk to the extent it invests in synthetic mandatory  conversion
securities which are issued by investment  banking firms.  Those are unsecured
obligations  of the issuing  firm.  Should the firm that  issued the  security
experience  financial  difficulty,  its  ability to perform  according  to the
terms  of  the  security  might  become  impaired.  The  mandatory  conversion
securities  which  may  be  purchased  by  the  Fund  include,  among  others,
"equity-linked  debt  securities,"  discussed below, and certain  varieties of
convertible preferred stock.

      At any time  prior to the  mandatory  conversion  date,  the  issuer can
redeem the preferred  stock. At its mandatory  conversion  date, the preferred
stock is  converted  into a share (or a fraction  of a share) of the  issuer's
common stock at the call price that was  established at the time the preferred
stock was issued.  Generally,  the call price is 30% to 45% above the price of
the issuer's  common stock at the time the  preferred  stock is issued and may
be  subject  to  downward  adjustment  over  time.  If the share  price of the
related  common stock on the mandatory  conversion  date is less than the call
price,  the holder of the preferred  stock will  nonetheless  receive only one
share of common  stock for each  share of  preferred  stock  (plus cash in the
amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends).

      The issuer  must issue to the holder of the  preferred  stock the number
of shares of common  stock equal to the call price of the  preferred  stock in
effect on the date of  redemption  divided by the  market  value of the common
stock.  That market  value  typically  is  determined  one or two trading days
prior to the date notice of redemption is given.  The issuer must also pay the
holder of the  preferred  stock  cash in an amount  equal to any  accrued  but
unpaid dividends on the preferred stock.

      Convertible  preferred  stock is subject to the same  market risk as the
common  stock of the issuer.  However that risk may be mitigated by the higher
dividend paid on the preferred stock. This convertible  preferred stock offers
limited  opportunity for appreciation,  however,  because of the call feature.
If the market value of the issuer's  common stock  increases to the call price
or above the call price of the preferred  stock,  the issuer can (and would be
expected to) call the preferred  stock for redemption at the call price.  This
convertible  preferred  stock is also  subject to credit risk of the issuer as
to its ability to pay the dividend. Generally,  convertible preferred stock is
less volatile than the related common stock of the issuer,  in part because of
the fixed dividend.

            o Equity-Linked  Debt Securities.  The Fund can purchase mandatory
conversion debt securities  whose  principal  amount at maturity  depends upon
the performance of a specified  equity  security.  These  "equity-linked  debt
securities"  are a form of  derivative  security and differ from ordinary debt
securities  in that the  principal  amount  received at maturity is not fixed.
Instead,  their  principal  value is based on the price of the  linked  equity
security at the time the debt security matures.  These debt securities usually
mature in three to four years,  and during the years to maturity  pay interest
at a fixed rate.

      Although these debt  securities  are typically  adjusted for events such
as stock  splits,  stock  dividends  and certain  other events that affect the
market  value of the  linked  equity  security,  the debt  securities  are not
adjusted if additional  equity  securities  are issued for cash. An additional
issuance  of  equity  securities  of the type to which  the debt  security  is
linked  could  adversely  affect the price of the debt  security.  In general,
however,  these debt  securities are less volatile than the equity  securities
to which they are linked.

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

      While the  changes in value of the  Fund's  portfolio  securities  after
they are  purchased  will be  reflected  in the net asset  value of the Fund's
shares,  those  changes  normally  do not affect the  interest  income paid by
those  securities  (unless the security's  interest is paid at a variable rate
pegged  to  particular   interest   rate   changes).   However,   those  price
fluctuations  will be  reflected  in the  valuations  of the  securities,  and
therefore the Fund's net asset values will be affected by those fluctuations.

      |X| Credit  Risk.  Credit  risk  relates to the ability of the issuer to
meet  interest or  principal  payments or both as they become due. In general,
lower-grade,  higher-yield  bonds  are  subject  to  credit  risk to a greater
extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.

      The    Fund's    debt     investments     can    include     high-yield,
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 Services
("S&P")  or  Fitch,   Inc.,  or  that  have  comparable   ratings  by  another
nationally-recognized 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  creditworthiness.  If  securities  the Fund buys are
unrated,  they are assigned a rating by the Manager of  comparable  quality to
bonds having similar yield and risk  characteristics  within a rating category
of a rating organization.

      The  Fund  does  not  have  investment  policies  establishing  specific
maturity  ranges  for the  Fund's  investments,  and  they may be  within  any
maturity range (short,  medium or long) depending on the Manager's  evaluation
of investment  opportunities  available  within the debt  securities  markets.
Generally,  however, it is expected that the Fund's average portfolio maturity
will be of a longer average maturity.  The Fund may shift its investment focus
to securities of longer  maturity as interest  rates decline and to securities
of shorter maturity as interest rates rise.

            o Special  Risks of  Lower-Grade  Securities.  The Fund can invest
 without  limit in  lower-grade  debt  securities,  and the Fund will normally
 invest  its  assets  primarily  in these  securities  to seek its  objective.
 Lower-grade  securities  tend to offer  higher  yields than  investment-grade
 securities,  but also are  subject to greater  risks of default by the issuer
 in its  obligations to pay interest and/or repay principal on the maturity of
 the security.

      "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  S  &  P  or  Fitch,  Inc.,  or  similar  ratings  by  other  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 considered  part of the Fund's  portfolio of lower-grade  securities.  The
Fund will not invest in securities  rated below "C" or which are in default at
the time the Fund buys them.

      Some  of  the  special  credit  risks  of  lower-grade   securities  are
discussed  below.  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.

      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, Inc. are investment grade and are not regarded as junk bonds,  those
securities  may  be  subject  to  special  risks  and  have  some  speculative
characteristics.  Definitions of the debt security  ratings  categories of the
principal  rating  organizations  are included in Appendix A to this Statement
of Additional Information.

Other  Investment  Techniques and  Strategies.  In seeking its objective,  the
Fund may from time to time  employ  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 some of them.

      |X| Portfolio Turnover. "Portfolio turnover" describes the rate at
which the Fund trades its portfolio securities during its fiscal year. For
example, if a fund sold all of its securities during the year, its portfolio
turnover rate would have been 100%. The Fund's portfolio turnover rate will
fluctuate from year to year, and the Fund does not expect to have a portfolio
turnover rate in excess of 150% annually.

      Increased portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and transaction
costs for the Fund, which may reduce its overall performance. Additionally,
the realization of capital gains from selling portfolio securities may result
in distributions of taxable long-term capital gains to shareholders, since
the Fund will normally distribute all of its capital gains realized each
year, to avoid excise taxes under the Internal Revenue Code.

      |X| Foreign Securities.  The Fund can invest up to 15% of its net assets
in foreign  securities.  These primarily will be fixed-income  debt securities
issued or  guaranteed  by  foreign  companies.  "Foreign  securities"  include
equity and debt securities of companies  organized under the laws of countries
other  than the  United  States.  They may be  traded  on  foreign  securities
exchanges or in the foreign over-the-counter markets.

      The  percentage  of the Fund's  assets that will be allocated to foreign
securities  will vary  over  time  depending  on a number  of  factors.  Those
factors may include the Manager's  analysis of relative  yields of foreign and
U.S.  securities,  the  economies  of foreign  countries,  the  condition of a
country's  financial markets,  the interest rate climate of particular foreign
countries and the  relationship of particular  foreign  currencies to the U.S.
dollar.  The Manager  analyzes  fundamental  economic  criteria  (for example,
relative  inflation  levels and  trends,  growth  rate  forecasts,  balance of
payments  status,  and economic  policies) as well as technical  and political
data.

      Securities  of  foreign   issuers  that  are   represented  by  American
Depository  Receipts  or that are  listed  on a U.S.  securities  exchange  or
traded  in the  U.S.  over-the-counter  markets  are not  considered  "foreign
securities"  for the  purpose of the Fund's  investment  allocations,  because
they  are not  subject  to  many  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 such foreign  currency  against the U.S.
dollar will result in a change in the amount of income the Fund has  available
for  distribution.  Because a portion of the Fund's  investment  income may be
received  in foreign  currencies,  the Fund will be  required  to compute  its
income in U.S.  dollars for  distribution to  shareholders,  and therefore the
Fund  will  absorb  the  cost of  currency  fluctuations.  After  the Fund has
distributed  income,  subsequent  foreign  currency  losses  may result in the
Fund's having  distributed more income in a particular  fiscal period than was
available from  investment  income,  which could result in a return of capital
to shareholders.

      Investing in foreign  securities offers potential benefits not available
from  investing  solely in  securities of domestic  issuers.  They include the
opportunity  to invest in foreign  issuers  that  appear to offer high  income
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  securities 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.

            o 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 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;
o     greater  volatility  and less  liquidity on foreign  markets than in the
               U.S.;
o     less governmental  regulation of foreign issuers,  securities  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.

            o Special  Risks of  Emerging  Markets.  Emerging  and  developing
markets  abroad may also offer  special  opportunities  for investing but have
greater risks than more developed  foreign  markets,  such as those in Europe,
Canada,  Australia, New Zealand and Japan. There may be 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,  because the selection of those  securities  must be consistent  with
the Fund's investment objective.

      |X| Warrants.  As a fundamental policy, the Fund cannot invest more than
15% of the value of its net  assets in  warrants,  and not more than 5% of the
Fund's net assets may be invested  in warrants  that are not listed on The New
York Stock  Exchange  or The  American  Stock  Exchange.  That policy does not
limit the Fund's  acquisition  of warrants that have been acquired in units or
attached to other securities.  This fundamental policy is currently limited by
an  operational  policy  under  which the Fund will not invest more than 5% of
the value of its net  assets in  warrants,  and not more than 2% of the Fund's
net assets may be invested in warrants  that are not listed on the New York or
American Stock Exchanges.  Warrants  acquired by the Fund in units or attached
to securities  are deemed to be without  value for purposes of the  limitation
imposed by the operational policy.

      A warrant  basically is an option to purchase common stock at a specific
price valid for a specific  period of time.  Usually the price is at a premium
above  the  market  value of the  applicable  common  stock  at its  issuance.
Warrants  may have a life ranging from less than a year to twenty years or may
be perpetual.  However,  many warrants have expiration  dates after which they
are  worthless  unless the warrants are  exercised or sold before they expire.
In  addition,  if the  market  price of the  common  stock does not exceed the
exercise  price of the  warrant  during the life of the  warrant,  the warrant
will expire  worthless.  Warrants have no voting rights,  pay no dividends and
have no rights with  respect to the assets of the  corporation  issuing  them.
The market  price of a warrant may  increase or decrease  more than the market
price of the optioned common stock.

      |X| Repurchase  Agreements.  The Fund can acquire  securities subject to
repurchase agreements.  It might do so for temporary defensive purposes or 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.

       In a repurchase  transaction,  the Fund acquires 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 a primary  dealer in  government  securities,  which meet the
credit requirements set by the Fund's Manager from time to time.

      The  majority  of  these  transactions  run  from  day to day.  Delivery
pursuant  to  resale  typically  will  occur  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.

      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  collateral's  value must equal or exceed the repurchase price to
fully collateralize the repayment obligation.  Additionally,  the Manager will
monitor  the  vendor's   creditworthiness   to  confirm  that  the  vendor  is
financially  sound  and will  continuously  monitor  the  collateral's  value.
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.

      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.  Under policies  established by
the Fund's Board of Trustees,  the Manager determines the liquidity of some of
the  Fund's  securities.   The  Manager  monitors  holdings  of  illiquid  and
restricted  securities  on an ongoing  basis to determine  whether to sell any
holdings to maintain adequate liquidity.

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

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

      |X|  Borrowing  for  Leverage.  The Fund has a  fundamental  policy that
permits it to borrow from banks on an unsecured  basis, to invest the borrowed
funds in portfolio  securities.  This technique is known as "leverage."  Under
applicable  law,  borrowings  can be made 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  is  required  to  reduce  its  bank  debt  within  3 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.  The interest on a loan might be more (or less) than the
yield on the securities  purchased with the loan proceeds.  Additionally,  the
Fund's net asset value per share might  fluctuate more than that of funds that
do not borrow.

      |X|  Loans of  Portfolio  Securities.  To raise  cash for  liquidity  or
income  purposes,  the  Fund can lend its  portfolio  securities  to  brokers,
dealers  and other  types of  financial  institutions  approved  by the Fund's
Board of  Trustees.  These loans are limited to not more than 10% of the value
of the  Fund's  net  assets  under  guidelines  established  by the  Board  of
Trustees. The Fund currently does not intend to lend its securities.

      There are some risks in connection  with  securities  lending.  The Fund
might experience a delay in receiving additional  collateral to secure a loan,
or a delay in recovery of the loaned securities if the borrower defaults.  The
Fund must receive collateral for a loan. Under current  applicable  regulatory
requirements  (which are subject to  change),  on each  business  day the loan
collateral  must be at least equal to the value of the loaned  securities.  It
must  consist  of  cash,  bank  letters  of  credit,  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 amounts  demanded by the Fund if
the demand  meets the terms of the  letter.  The terms of the letter of credit
and the issuing bank both must be satisfactory to the Fund.

      When it  lends  securities,  the  Fund  receives  amounts  equal  to the
dividends or interest on loaned  securities.  It also  receives one or more of
(a) negotiated loan fees, (b) interest on securities  used as collateral,  and
(c)  interest  on any  short-term  debt  securities  purchased  with such loan
collateral.  Either type of interest may be shared with the borrower. The Fund
may  also  pay  reasonable  finder's,  custodian  and  administrative  fees in
connection  with  these  loans.  The  terms  of the  Fund's  loans  must  meet
applicable  tests under the Internal  Revenue Code and must permit the Fund to
reacquire  loaned  securities  on five days'  notice or in time to vote on any
important matter.

      |X|  Derivatives.  The  Fund  can  invest  in a  variety  of  derivative
investments  to  seek  income  or  for  hedging   purposes.   Some  derivative
investments  the Fund can use are the hedging  instruments  described below in
this Statement of Additional Information.

      Among  the  derivative  investments  the Fund can  invest  in are  "debt
exchangeable   for  common  stock"  of  an  issuer  or   "equity-linked   debt
securities" of an issuer  described in "Convertible  Preferred  Stock," above.
At maturity,  the debt security is exchanged for common stock of the issuer or
it is payable in an amount based on the price of the issuer's  common stock at
the time of maturity. Both
alternatives  present a risk that the amount  payable at maturity will be less
than the  principal  amount  of the debt  because  the  price of the  issuer's
common stock might not be as high as the Manager expected.

      |X|  Hedging.  The Fund can use  hedging to  attempt to protect  against
declines in the market  value of its  portfolio,  to permit the Fund to retain
unrealized gains in the value of portfolio  securities that have  appreciated,
or to facilitate selling securities for investment  reasons. To do so the Fund
could:
o     buy puts on securities, or
o     write covered calls on securities.  Covered calls can also be written on
         debt securities to attempt to increase the Fund's income.

      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
particular  options the Fund can use are described  below. The Fund may employ
other hedging  instruments and strategies in the future,  if those  investment
methods are consistent  with the Fund's  investment  objective and fundamental
policies,  are permissible under applicable regulations governing the Fund and
are approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees.

      The Fund can buy and sell only certain  kinds of put options  (puts) and
call options (calls).  The Fund limits its options trading activity to writing
covered  calls  on  stocks  (including  the  stock  underlying  a  convertible
security the Fund owns),  purchasing put options on stocks,  and entering into
closing transactions. These strategies are described below.

            o Writing  Covered  Call  Options.  The Fund can  write  (that is,
sell) call  options on stocks.  The Fund's call writing is subject to a number
of restrictions:
(1)   Calls the Fund sells must be listed on a national securities exchange.
(2)   Each call the Fund writes  must be  "covered"  while it is  outstanding.
               That  means  the Fund  must own the stock on which the call was
               written  or must own a security  convertible  into the stock on
               which the option is written.
(3)   As a fundamental  policy,  the Fund cannot write a call that would cause
               the value of its securities  underlying call options (valued at
               the lower of the  option  price or market  value) to exceed 25%
               of its net assets.

      When  the  Fund  writes  a call  on a  security,  it  receives  cash  (a
premium).  The Fund agrees to sell the underlying investment 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
retained  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.

      The Fund's  custodian  bank, or a securities  depository  acting for the
custodian  bank, 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 calls or upon the
Fund's entering into a closing purchase transaction.

      The  Fund may buy  calls  only to close  out a call it has  written,  as
discussed above. Calls the Fund buys must be listed on a securities  exchange.
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
was more or less  than the price of the call the Fund  purchased  to close out
the   transaction.   A  profit  may  also  be  realized  if  the  call  lapses
unexercised,  because  the Fund  retains  the  underlying  investment  and the
premium  received.  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.

            o  Purchasing  Puts.  The Fund may buy only those puts that relate
to stocks,  including  stocks  underlying the convertible  securities that the
Fund  owns.  The Fund may not sell  puts  other  than  puts it has  previously
purchased, to close out a position.

      When the Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium.  The Fund then has the
right to sell the underlying  investment to a seller of a corresponding put on
the same investment during the put period at a fixed exercise price.  Buying a
put on a stock  enables  the Fund to  protect  itself  during  the put  period
against  a  decline  in the  value  of the  underlying  investment  below  the
exercise price.  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 lose its premium  payment  and the right to sell the  underlying
investment.  A put  may be  sold  prior  to  expiration  (whether  or not at a
profit).

            o Risks of Hedging with  Options.  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 returns.

      The Fund's option  activities  could affect its portfolio  turnover rate
and  brokerage  commissions.  The exercise of calls  written by the Fund might
cause the Fund to sell  related  portfolio  securities,  thus  increasing  its
turnover rate. The 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. Such  commissions  might be
higher on a relative basis than the commissions for direct  purchases or sales
of the  underlying  investments.  Premiums  paid  for  options  are  small  in
relation to the market value of the underlying investments.  Consequently, put
and call  options  offer large  amounts of leverage.  The leverage  offered by
trading in options  could  result in the  Fund's  net asset  value  being more
sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying investment.

      If a covered  call  written by the Fund is  exercised  on an  investment
that has increased in value,  the Fund will be required to sell the investment
at the  call  price.  It  will  not be  able  to  realize  any  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.  There is no assurance that
a liquid secondary market will exist for a particular option.

            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.

      |X| Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments.  When market,  economic
or political conditions are unstable,  or the Manager believes it is otherwise
appropriate to reduce holdings in stocks,  the Fund can invest in a variety of
debt  securities  for defensive  purposes.  The Fund can also  purchase  these
securities for liquidity  purposes to meet cash needs due to the redemption of
Fund shares,  or to hold while waiting to reinvest cash received from the sale
of other portfolio securities. The Fund can buy:

o     high-quality,   (rated   in   the   top   two   rating   categories   of
         nationally-recognized  rating  organizations or deemed by the Manager
         to be of comparable  quality)  short-term  money market  instruments,
         including  those  issued by the U. S.  Treasury  or other  government
         agencies,
o     commercial  paper  (rated  in  the  top  two  rating   categories  of  a
         nationally-recognized  rating  organization)  short-term,  unsecured,
         promissory notes of domestic or foreign companies,
o     debt obligations of corporate issuers,  rated investment grade (rated at
         least Baa by Moody's or at least BBB by S&P, or a  comparable  rating
         by another rating  organization) or unrated  securities judged by the
         Manager to be of a quality  comparable  to rated  securities in those
         categories,
o     certificates  of  deposit  and  bankers'  acceptances  of  domestic  and
         foreign banks and savings and loan associations, and
o     repurchase agreements.

      Short-term debt  securities  would normally be selected for defensive or
cash  management  purposes  because  they can normally be disposed of quickly,
are not generally  subject to significant  fluctuations in principal value and
their value will be less subject to interest rate risk than  longer-term  debt
securities.

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 of 1940 (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.  The
Fund does not anticipate  investing a substantial  amount of its net assets in
shares of other investment companies.

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,  such a  "majority"  vote is
defined as the vote of the holders of the lesser of:
o     67% or  more  of  the  shares  present  or  represented  by  proxy  at a
         shareholder  meeting,  if  the  holders  of  more  than  50%  of  the
         outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or
o     more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

      The Fund's investment  objective is not a fundamental  policy,  but will
not be changed  without  approval by the Fund's  Board of  Trustees  and prior
notice to  shareholders.  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 Trustees can change  non-fundamental
policies  without  shareholder  approval.  However,   significant  changes  to
investment  policies  will be  described  in  supplements  or  updates  to the
Prospectus or this Statement of Additional  Information,  as appropriate.  The
Fund's principal 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:

      o The Fund may not  invest  more  than  25% of the  value of the  Fund's
total  assets in the  securities  of any one issuer or any group of issuers in
the same industry.  However,  this  restriction does not prevent the Fund from
investing  more  than 25% of its  total  assets in  securities  of the  United
States government, or its agencies or instrumentalities.

      o With  respect  to 50% of its total  assets,  the Fund  must  limit its
investments to cash, cash items, U.S. government  securities and securities of
issuers in which its  investments are limited to not more than 5% of the value
of its total assets in the  securities of any one issuer and not more than 10%
of its total assets in the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer.

      o The Fund may not purchase securities on margin.  However, the Fund can
obtain unsecured loans to purchase securities.  The aggregate of all unsecured
loans,  however,  may not exceed 50% of the Fund's total  assets.  It can also
borrow amounts  equivalent to up to 5% of the Fund's net assets for temporary,
extraordinary or emergency purposes.

      o The Fund may not make short  sales on  securities  or maintain a short
position.  An  exception  the  Fund  can do so if at all  times  when a  short
position is open, the Fund owns an equal amount of the  securities  sold short
or the Fund owns  securities that are  convertible  into or  exchangeable  for
securities of the same issue as, and equal in amount to, the  securities  sold
short,  without  payment  of further  consideration.  Not more than 10% of the
Fund's  total  assets may be held as  collateral  for these short sales at any
one time.

      o The Fund may not  purchase or sell put and call  options nor write put
or call options,  except as set forth in the  Prospectus or this  Statement of
Additional Information.

      o The Fund may not  invest in  warrants  in  amounts in excess of 15% of
the value of its net assets.  The  valuation  of  warrants  for the purpose of
that  limitation  shall be  determined  at the lower of cost or market  value.
Warrants  acquired by the Fund as part of a unit or attached to  securities at
the time of purchase do not count  against  that  percentage  limitation.  Not
more than 5% of the Fund's net assets may be  invested  in  warrants  that are
not listed on The New York Stock Exchange or The American Stock Exchange.

      o The Fund may not make loans.  However,  this policy does not  prohibit
the Fund from (1) making loans of its  portfolio  securities,  (2)  purchasing
notes,  bonds or other  evidences of  indebtedness,  (3) making  deposits with
banks  and other  financial  institutions,  or (4)  entering  into  repurchase
agreements.

      o The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate or real estate  mortgage
loans.  However,  the Fund may invest not more than 5% of its total  assets in
marketable securities of real estate investment trusts.

      o The Fund may not deal in commodities or commodities contracts.

      o The Fund may not  purchase or retain  securities  of any issuer if any
of its officers  and  trustees,  or any of the  officers and  directors of the
Manager or the Distributor  own  individually  beneficially  more than 0.5% of
the  outstanding  securities  of  that  issuer,  or if  all of  those  persons
together own more than 5% of that issuer's securities.

      o The Fund may not invest more than 5% of the value of its total  assets
in securities of any company  (including its  predecessors)  that has not been
in business for at least three consecutive years.

      o The Fund may not issue  any  securities  that are  senior to shares of
the Fund.

      o The Fund may not underwrite securities of other issuers.

      o The Fund may not acquire  securities of any other investment  company,
if as a result of that acquisition,  the Fund would own in the aggregate:  (1)
more than 3% of the voting stock of that  investment  company;  (2) securities
of that  investment  company having an aggregate  value in excess of 5% of the
value of the total assets of the Fund; or (3)  securities  of that  investment
company and of any other  investment  companies (but excluding  treasury stock
of those  funds)  having  an  aggregate  value in  excess  of 10% of the total
assets of the Fund.  However,  none of these limitations applies to a security
received  as a dividend  or as a result of an offer of  exchange,  a merger or
plan of reorganization.

      o With  respect  to 75%  of  its  total  assets,  the  Fund  cannot  buy
securities  issued  or  guaranteed  by any one  issuer  if more than 5% of the
Fund's total assets would be invested in  securities  of that issuer or if the
Fund would then own more than 10% of that  issuer's  voting  securities.  That
restriction  does not  apply to cash or cash  items or  securities  issued  or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities.

Does the Fund Have Any Restrictions  That Are Not Fundamental?  The Fund has a
number of other  investment  restrictions  that are not fundamental  policies,
which  means  that  they  can be  changed  by the  Board of  Trustees  without
shareholder   approval.   While  these  investment  policies  do  not  require
shareholder  approval to be changed, as a matter of operating policy, the Fund
has  agreed  not  to  change  these  policies  without  prior  notice  to  its
shareholders.  These operating  policies  provide that the Fund may not do any
of the following:

      o The Fund may not invest in any issuer  for the  purpose of  exercising
control or management of that issuer,  unless  approved by the Fund's Board of
Trustees.

      o The Fund may not invest any part of its total  assets in  interests in
oil, gas, or other mineral  exploration or development  programs,  although it
may  invest  in  securities  of  companies  which  invest in or  sponsor  such
programs. The Fund may not invest in oil, gas or other mineral leases.

      o The Fund may not  invest  more than 5% of the value of its net  assets
in  warrants,  valued at the lower of cost or market  value.  The Fund can buy
warrants  that are not listed on The New York Stock  Exchange or The  American
Stock  Exchange,  but they  count  toward the 5% limit on  warrants  described
above and may not exceed 2% of the value of the Fund's  net  assets.  Warrants
acquired  by the Fund in units or attached  to  securities  are not covered by
this restriction.

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

      Unless the  Prospectus  or 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).  In that  case 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.

      In  carrying   out  its  policy  with   respect  to   concentration   of
investments,  the Fund applies that policy to prohibit the Fund from making an
investment  in the  securities  of any one  issuer or group of  issuers in the
same industry if that  investment  would cause 25% or more of the value of the
Fund's  total assets to be invested in that  industry.  In applying its policy
not to  concentrate  its  investments,  the  Fund  has  adopted  the  industry
classifications  set  forth in  Appendix  B to this  Statement  of  Additional
Information. This is not a fundamental policy.

      In  carrying  out  its  policy   prohibiting   the  issuance  of  senior
securities,   the  Fund  interprets  that  policy  not  to  prohibit   certain
investment  activities  for  which  assets  of  the  Fund  are  designated  as
segregated  to cover the related  obligations.  Examples  of those  activities
include borrowing money,  repurchase agreements,  and contracts to buy or sell
derivatives.

How the Fund is Managed

Organization  and  History.  The  Fund is a  series  of Bond  Fund  Series,  a
Massachusetts  business  trust  organized in 1986 as an open-end,  diversified
management  investment  company with an unlimited number of authorized  shares
of  beneficial  interest  (that trust is  referred  to in this  section as the
"Fund's  parent  Trust"  or the  "Trust").  The  Trust  was  originally  named
Rochester  Convertible Fund and was renamed  Rochester Fund Series,  which was
its name until it was renamed Bond Fund Series in 1997.  The Fund is currently
the only  series of the Trust and is a  diversified  fund.  It was  called The
Bond Fund for Growth  until 1997.  In 1997 it was  re-named  Oppenheimer  Bond
Fund for  Growth.  The  Fund's  name was  changed to  Oppenheimer  Convertible
Securities Fund in 1998.

      The Fund and its  parent  Trust  are  governed  by a Board of  Trustees,
which is  responsible  for  protecting  the  interests of  shareholders  under
Massachusetts  law.  The Trustees  meet  periodically  throughout  the year to
oversee the Fund's (and the Trust's) activities,  review its performance,  and
review the actions of the Manager.

      | Classes of Shares.  The Trustees are authorized,  without  shareholder
approval,  to create new  series and  classes  of  shares.  The  Trustees  may
reclassify  unissued shares of the Fund into  additional  series or classes of
shares.  The Trustees  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 M and Class N. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio.
Only retirement plans may purchase Class N 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.

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

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

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

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

Board of Trustees and Oversight Committees. The Fund is governed by a Board
of Trustees, which is responsible for protecting the interests of
shareholders under Massachusetts law. The Trustees meet periodically
throughout the year to oversee the Fund's activities, review its performance,
and review the actions of the Manager.

      The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee which is comprised solely
of Independent Trustees. The Audit Committee provides 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 members of the Audit Committee are Paul
Clinton (Chairman), Thomas Courtney, Robert Galli, Lacy Herrmann and Brian
Wruble. The Audit Committee met 6 times during the Fund's fiscal year ended
December 31, 2003.

Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Each of the Trustees is an "Independent
Trustee" under the Investment Company Act. The Fund's Trustees and officers
and their positions held with the Fund and length of service in such
position(s) and their principal occupations and business affiliations during
the past five years are listed in the chart below. The information for the
Trustees also includes the dollar range of shares of the Fund as well as the
aggregate dollar range of shares beneficially owned in any of the Oppenheimer
funds overseen by the Trustees. All of the Trustees are also trustees or
directors of the following Oppenheimer funds (except for Mr. Cannon who is
only a Trustee of Rochester Fund Municipals, Limited-Term New York Municipal
Fund and Convertible Securities Fund) (referred to as "Board III Funds"):

Oppenheimer Quest Capital Value Fund,    Bond Fund Series, a series fund having
Inc.                                     one series:
Oppenheimer Quest For Value Funds, a          Oppenheimer Convertible
series                                   Securities Fund
     fund having the following three     Oppenheimer MidCap Fund
series:                                  Rochester Fund Municipals
     Oppenheimer Small Cap Value Fund,   Rochester Portfolio Series, a series
     Oppenheimer Quest Balanced Fund and fund having
     Oppenheimer Quest Opportunity            one series:  Limited-Term New
Value Fund                               York Municipal
Oppenheimer Quest International Value         Fund
Fund, Inc.
Oppenheimer Quest Value Fund, Inc.

      In addition to being a trustee or director of the Board III Funds, Mr.
Galli is also a director or trustee of 25 other portfolios in the
OppenheimerFunds complex. Present or former officers, directors, trustees and
employees (and their immediate family members) of the Fund, the Manager and
its affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their employees
are permitted to purchase Class A shares of the 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. Everett, Murphy, Molleur, Vottiero, Wixted and Zack, and Mses.
Bechtolt and Ives who are officers of the Fund, respectively hold the same
offices of one or more of the other Board III Funds as with the Fund. As of
January 28, 2004, the Trustees and officers of the Fund, as a group, owned of
record or 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 plan for employees of the Manager, other than
the shares beneficially owned under the plan by the officers of the Fund
listed above. In addition, each Independent Trustee, and his family members,
do not own securities of either the Manager or Distributor of the Board III
Funds or any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or
under common control with the Manager or Distributor.

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

1. Aggregate  Compensation From Fund includes fees and deferred  compensation,
if any, for a Trustee.
2. Estimated  Annual  Retirement  Benefits to be Paid Upon Retirement is based
on a straight life payment plan election  with the  assumption  that a Trustee
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 Trustees."
3. Compensation for Mr. Cannon was paid by Rochester Fund Municipals,  Limited
Term New York Municipal Fund and Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund only.
4.  Includes  $38,050  estimated  to be paid to Mr.  Galli  for  serving  as a
trustee or director  of 25 other  Oppenheimer  funds (at  December  31,  2003)
that are not Board III Funds.
5.  Includes  $117,536 paid to Mr. Galli for serving as trustee or director of
25 other  Oppenheimer  funds (at  December  31,  2003)  that are not Board III
Funds.
6.  Includes  $5,905  deferred by Mr.  Wruble under the Deferred  Compensation
Plan described below.

      |X| Retirement Plan for Trustees. The Fund has adopted a retirement
plan that provides for payments to retired Trustees. Payments are up to 80%
of the average compensation paid during a Trustee's five years of service in
which the highest compensation was received. A Trustee must serve as Trustee
for any of the Board III Oppenheimer funds listed above for at least 15 years
to be eligible for the maximum payment. Each Trustee's retirement benefits
will depend on the amount of the Trustee's future compensation and length of
service.

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

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

      |X| Major  Shareholders.  As of January  28,  2004,  the only people who

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,

carefully monitored and enforced by the Manager.

      The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the Fund's registration statement
filed with the SEC and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public
Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You can obtain information about the hours
of operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at

      |X| 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 first such filing is due no later than August 31,
2004, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004. Once filed, the Fund's Form
N-PX filing will be available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling
the Fund toll-free at  1.800.225.5677 and (ii) on the SEC's website at
www.sec.gov.

principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's
portfolio.

      The agreement requires the Manager, at its expense, to provide the Fund
with adequate office space, facilities and equipment. It also requires the
Manager to provide and supervise the activities of all administrative and
clerical personnel required to provide effective administration for the Fund.
Those responsibilities include the compilation and maintenance of records
with respect to its operations, the preparation and filing of specified
reports, and composition of proxy materials and registration statements for
continuous public sale of shares of the Fund.

      The Fund pays expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the
advisory agreement. The advisory agreement lists examples of expenses paid by
the Fund. The major categories relate to interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, fees to certain Trustees, legal and audit expenses, custodian
and transfer agent expenses, share issuance costs, certain printing and
registration costs and non-recurring expenses, including litigation costs.
The management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager are calculated at the
rates described in the Prospectus, which are applied to the assets of the
Fund as a whole. The fees are allocated to each class of shares based upon
the relative proportion of the Fund's net assets represented by that class.
The management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager during its last three
fiscal years are listed below.

            o Accounting and  Administrative  Services.  The Manager  provides
accounting and  record-keeping  services to the Fund pursuant to an Accounting
and  Administration  Agreement  approved by the Board of Trustees.  Under that
agreement,  the Manager  maintains  the general  ledger  accounts  and records
relating to the Fund's  business and  calculates the daily net asset values of
the Fund's shares.  The fee is $12,000 for the first $30 million of the Fund's
net assets  and $9,000 for each  additional  $30  million of net  assets.  The
accounting  and  administrative  services fees paid by the Fund to the Manager
during its last three fiscal years are listed below.

      The investment advisory agreement states that in the absence of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties or
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the investment
advisory agreement, the Manager is not liable for any loss the Fund sustains
for any investment, adoption of any investment policy, or the purchase, sale
or retention of any security.

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

      |X| Annual Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement. Each year, the
Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, 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 agreement. 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 agreement. 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 the Manager 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 Trustees, 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
Trustees, concluded that it was in the best interest of shareholders to
continue the investment advisory agreement for another year and that the fees
charged thereunder are fair and reasonable. 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 agreement,
including the investment advisory fee, in light of all of the surrounding
circumstances.

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 Trustees.

      Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager may select brokers
(other than affiliates) that provide brokerage and/or research services for
the Fund and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates
have investment discretion. The commissions paid to such brokers may be
higher than another qualified broker would charge, if the Manager makes a
good faith determination that the commission is fair and reasonable in
relation to the services provided.

Brokerage Practices Followed by the Manager. The Manager allocates brokerage
for the Fund subject to the provisions of the investment advisory agreement
and the procedures and rules described above. Generally, the Manager's
portfolio traders allocate brokerage based upon recommendations from the
Manager's portfolio managers. 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. In an option transaction, the Fund ordinarily uses the
same broker for the purchase or sale of the option and any transaction in the
securities to which the option relates.

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

      In an option transaction, the Fund ordinarily uses the same broker for
the purchase or sale of the option and any transaction in the securities to
which the option relates. When possible, the Manager tries to combine
concurrent orders to purchase or sell the same security by more than one of
the accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates. The transactions under
those combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated in accordance
with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account.

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

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

Distribution and Service Plans

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

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

Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class
A shares and Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N
shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act. Under those plans the
Fund pays the Distributor for all or a portion of its costs incurred in
connection with the distribution and/or servicing of the shares of the
particular class. Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of
Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees1, cast in person
at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan.

      Under the plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to
affiliates and in their sole discretion, from time to time, may use their own
resources (at no direct cost to the Fund) to make payments to brokers,
dealers or other financial institutions for distribution and administrative
services they perform. The Manager may use its profits from the advisory fee
it receives from the Fund. In their sole discretion, the Distributor and the
Manager may increase or decrease the amount of payments they make from their
own resources to plan recipients.

      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 Trustees specifically vote annually to approve its continuance.
Approval must be by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose
of voting on continuing the plan. A plan may be terminated at any time by the
vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by the vote of the holders
of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the outstanding
shares of that class.

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

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

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

      Under the plans for a class, no payment will be made to any recipient
in any 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 Trustees. The Board of Trustees 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 (they are referred to as
"recipients") for personal services and account maintenance services they
provide for their customers who hold Class A shares. The services include,
among others, answering customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in
establishing and maintaining accounts in the Fund, making the Fund's
investment plans available and providing other services at the request of the
Fund or the Distributor. The Class A service plan permits reimbursements to
the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of average annual net assets of
Class A shares. The Board has set the rate at that level. 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.

      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 December 31, 2003 payments under the Class A
plan totaled $599,232 , of which $4,119 was retained by the Distributor under
the arrangement described above, regarding grandfathered retirement accounts,
and included $23,312 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, Class M and Class N Service and Distribution Plan
Fees. Under each plan, service fees and distribution 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. The Class B,
Class C and Class N plans provide for the Distributor to be compensated at a
flat rate for its services, whether its costs in distributing Class B, Class
C and Class N shares and servicing accounts are more or less than the amounts
paid by the Fund under the plan for the period for which the fee is paid. The
Class M plan allows the Distributor to be reimbursed for its services and
costs in distributing Class M shares and servicing accounts. The types of
services that recipients provide are similar to the services provided under
the Class A service plan, described above.

      The Class B, Class C and Class N plans permit 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 the  shares are  purchased.  After the first
year shares are  outstanding,  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 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.

      The Distributor  normally 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.  Although the Class M Plan permits the
Fund to pay the Distributor a 0.50%  asset-based  sales charge  annually,  the
Board has set that payment at zero,  effective  February 11, 2004. If a dealer
has a special  agreement with the  Distributor,  the Distributor  will pay the
Class B, Class C and/or Class N service fee and the  asset-based  sales charge
to the dealer  quarterly in lieu of paying the sales  concessions  and service
fee in advance at the time of purchase.

      The  asset-based  sales  charges  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 charges 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 shares, and
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.

      When Class B, Class C, or Class N shares are sold without the
designation of a broker-dealer, the Distributor is automatically designated
as the broker-dealer of record. In those cases, the Distributor will not
retain any portion of the service fee or asset-based sales charge.

      The Distributor's actual expenses in selling Class B, Class C, Class M
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 any plan is terminated by the Fund, the Board of
Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payments of the asset-based sales
charge to the Distributor for distributing shares before the plan was
terminated.

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     Yields and 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 do 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, its yields 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     Yields and total returns for any given past period represent historical
         performance information and are not, and should not be considered, a
         prediction of future yields or 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 yields and
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 debt
investments, the types of investments the Fund holds, and its operating
expenses that are allocated to the particular class.

      |X| Yields. The Fund uses a variety of different yields to illustrate
its current returns. Each class of shares calculates its yield separately
because of the different expenses that affect each class.

            o Standardized Yield. The "standardized yield" (sometimes
referred to just as "yield") is shown for a class of shares for a stated
30-day period. It is not based on actual distributions paid by the Fund to
shareholders in the 30-day period, but is a hypothetical yield based upon the
net investment income from the Fund's portfolio investments for that period.
It may therefore differ from the "dividend yield" for the same class of
shares, described below.

      Standardized yield is calculated using the following formula set forth
in rules adopted by the SEC, designed to assure uniformity in the way that
all funds calculate their yields:

Standardized Yield  = 2[( a - b +1)6   -1 ]
                          ------
                           cd

      The symbols above represent the following factors:
      a =  dividends and interest earned during the 30-day period.
      b =  expenses accrued for the period (net of any expense assumptions).
      c =  the  average  daily  number  of shares  of that  class  outstanding
           during the 30-day period that were entitled to receive dividends.
      d =  the maximum  offering price per share of that class on the last day
           of the period, adjusted for undistributed net investment income.

      The standardized yield for a particular 30-day period may differ from
the yield for other periods. The SEC formula assumes that the standardized
yield for a 30-day period occurs at a constant rate for a six-month period
and is annualized at the end of the six-month period. Additionally, because
each class of shares is subject to different expenses, it is likely that the
standardized yields of the Fund's classes of shares will differ for any
30-day period.

            o Dividend Yield. The Fund may quote a "dividend yield" for each
class of its shares. Dividend yield is based on the dividends paid on a class
of shares during the actual dividend period. To calculate dividend yield, the
dividends of a class declared during a stated period are added together, and
the sum is multiplied by 12 (to annualize the yield) and divided by the
maximum offering price on the last day of the dividend period. The formula is
shown below:

  Dividend Yield = dividends paid x 12/maximum offering price (payment date)

      The maximum offering price for Class A shares includes the current
maximum initial sales charge. The maximum offering price for Class B, Class C
and Class N shares is the net asset value per share, without considering the
effect of contingent deferred sales charges. The Class A dividend yield may
also be quoted without deducting the maximum initial sales charge.

      |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%, and for Class M, the current maximum initial sales
charge of 3.25% (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.

            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:

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

 ERV - P   = Total Return
-----------
    P

            o Total Returns at Net Asset Value. From time to time the Fund
may also quote a cumulative or an average annual total return "at net asset
value" (without deducting sales charges) for each class of shares 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 convertibles.

      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.

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.

      |X| Right of Accumulation. To qualify for the lower sales charge rates
that apply to larger purchases of Class A shares, you and your spouse can add
together:
o     Class A and Class B shares you purchase for your individual accounts
            (including IRAs and 403(b) plans), or for your joint accounts, or
            for trust or custodial accounts on behalf of your children who
            are minors,
o     Current purchases of Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other
            Oppenheimer funds to reduce the sales charge rate that applies to
            current purchases of Class A shares, and
o     Class A and Class B shares of Oppenheimer funds you previously
            purchased subject to an initial or contingent deferred sales
            charge to reduce the sales charge rate for current purchases of
            Class A shares, provided that you still hold your investment in
            one of the Oppenheimer funds.

      A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a trust, estate or other
fiduciary account (including one or more employee benefit plans of the same
employer) that has multiple accounts. The Distributor will add the value, at
current offering price, of the shares you previously purchased and currently
own to the value of current purchases to determine the sales charge rate that
applies. The reduced sales charge will apply only to current purchases. You
must request it when you buy shares.

The Oppenheimer Funds. The Oppenheimer funds are those mutual funds for which
the Distributor acts as the distributor and currently include the following:

      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 charge or at reduced sales charge rates, as
described in Appendix C 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 $3 million in assets (other than
assets invested in money market funds) invested in applicable investments,
then the retirement plan may purchase only Class B shares of the Oppenheimer
funds. Any retirement plans in that category that currently invest in Class B
shares of the Fund will have their Class B shares converted to Class A shares
of the Fund when the plan's applicable investments reach $5 million.

      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 any order in the amount of $250,000 or
more for Class B shares or $1 million or more for Class C shares on behalf of
a single investor (not including dealer "street name" or omnibus accounts).
That is because generally it will be more advantageous for that investor to
purchase Class A shares of the Fund.

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, Trustees' fees, transfer agency fees,
legal fees and auditing costs. Those expenses are paid out of the Fund's
assets and are  not paid directly by shareholders. However, those expenses
reduce the net asset values of shares, and therefore are indirectly borne by
shareholders through their investment.

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

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

Account Fees. As stated in the Prospectus, a $12 annual fee is assessed on
any account valued at less than $500. This fee will not be assessed on the
following accounts:
o     Accounts that have balances below $500 due to the automatic conversion
         of shares from Class B to Class A shares;
o     Accounts with an active Asset Builder Plan, payroll deduction plan or a
         military allotment plan;
o     OppenheimerFunds-sponsored group retirement accounts that are making
         continuing purchases;
o     Certain accounts held by broker-dealers through the National Securities
         Clearing Corporation; and
o     Accounts that fall below the $500 threshold due solely to market
         fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the fee
         is deducted.

      The fee is automatically deducted from qualifying accounts annually on
or about the second to last business day of September. This annual fee is
waived for any shareholders who elect to access their account documents
through electronic document delivery rather than in paper copy and who elect
to utilize the Internet or PhoneLink as their primary source for their
general servicing needs. To sign up 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 instructions.
           ------------------------

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 Trustees 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 Trustees, or
          (2) at the last sale price obtained by the Manager from the report
              of the principal exchange on which the security is traded at
              its last trading session on or immediately before the valuation
              date, or (3)    at the mean between the "bid" and "asked"
              prices obtained from the principal exchange on which the
              security is traded or, on the basis of reasonable inquiry, from
              two market makers in the security.
         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
Trustees 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 Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in
the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:
(1)   debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when
              issued,
(2)   debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued
              and have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and
(3)   non-money market debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or
              less when issued and which have a remaining maturity of 60 days
              or less.
         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 Trustees. The pricing service may use "matrix" comparisons to
the prices for comparable instruments on the basis of quality, yield and
maturity. Other special factors may be involved (such as the tax-exempt
status of the interest paid by municipal securities). The Manager will
monitor the accuracy of the pricing services. That monitoring may include
comparing prices used for portfolio valuation to actual sales prices of
selected securities.

      The closing prices in the 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 Trustees or by the
Manager. If there were no sales that day, they shall be valued at the last
sale price on the preceding trading day if it is within the spread of the
closing "bid" and "asked" prices on the principal exchange 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, and Class N shares. The Fund may amend, suspend or cease
offering this reinvestment privilege at any time as to shares redeemed after
the date of such amendment, suspension or cessation.

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

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

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

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board of Trustees has the right to cause
the involuntary redemption of the shares held in any account if the aggregate
net asset value of those shares is less than $200 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.

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.

      To use Class A shares held under the plan as collateral for a debt, the
Planholder may request issuance of a portion of the shares in certificated
form. Upon written request from the Planholder, the Transfer Agent will
determine the number of shares for which a certificate may be issued without
causing the withdrawal checks to stop. However, should such uncertificated
shares become exhausted, Plan withdrawals will terminate.

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

How to Exchange Shares

As stated in the Prospectus, shares of a particular class of Oppenheimer
funds having more than one class of shares may be exchanged only for shares
of the same class of other Oppenheimer funds. Shares of Oppenheimer funds
that have a single class without a class designation are deemed "Class A"
shares for this purpose. You can obtain a current list showing which funds
offer which classes of shares by calling the Distributor.

o     All of the Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class A, B, C, N and Y
      shares with the following exceptions:

   The following funds only offer Class A shares:
   Centennial America Fund, L.P.             Centennial New York Tax Exempt

o     Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be exchanged for
      shares of any other fund.
o     Class B, Class C and Class N shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves are
      generally available only by exchange from the same class of shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds or through OppenheimerFunds-sponsored 401(k)
      plans.
o     Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund may be
      exchanged only for Class A shares of other Oppenheimer funds. They may
      not be acquired by exchange of shares of any class of any other
      Oppenheimer funds except Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market
      Fund or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves acquired by exchange of Class M
      shares.
o     Class X shares of Limited Term New York Municipal Fund may be exchanged
      only for Class B shares of other Oppenheimer funds and no exchanges may
      be made to Class X shares.
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund may not be exchanged
      for shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc., Oppenheimer Cash
      Reserves or Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund. Only participants
      in certain retirement plans may purchase shares of Oppenheimer Capital
      Preservation Fund, and only those participants may exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation
      Fund.
o     Class A shares of Oppenheimer funds may be exchanged at net asset value
      for shares of any money market fund offered by the Distributor. Shares
      of any money market fund purchased without a sales charge may be
      exchanged for shares of Oppenheimer funds offered with a sales charge
      upon payment of the sales charge. They may also be used to purchase
      shares of Oppenheimer funds subject to an early withdrawal charge or
      contingent deferred sales charge.
o     Shares of the Fund acquired by reinvestment of dividends or
      distributions from any of the other Oppenheimer funds or from any unit
      investment trust for which reinvestment arrangements have been made
      with the Distributor may be exchanged at net asset value for shares of
      any of the Oppenheimer funds.
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (8/5/2010).
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund II may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund II until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (3/3/2011).

      The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any
time. Although the Fund may impose these changes at any time, it will provide
you with notice of those changes whenever it is required to do so by
applicable law. It may be required to provide 60 days' notice prior to
materially amending or terminating the exchange privilege. That 60 day notice
is not required in extraordinary circumstances.

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

            o When Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund (other 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 from the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of
the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is
imposed on the redeemed shares.

            o When Class A shares of 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 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.

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

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

            o With respect to Class B shares, the Class B contingent deferred
sales charge is imposed on Class B shares acquired by exchange if they are
redeemed within six years of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class B
shares.

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

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

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

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

      |X| 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. The Fund may accept requests for exchanges
of up to 50 accounts per day from representatives of authorized dealers that
qualify for this privilege.

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

Processing  Exchange  Requests.  Shares to be  exchanged  are  redeemed on the
regular  business  day the  Transfer  Agent  receives an  exchange  request in
proper  form  (the  "Redemption  Date").  Normally,  shares  of the fund to be
acquired are  purchased on the  Redemption  Date,  but such  purchases  may be
delayed  by either  fund up to five  business  days if it  determines  that it
would be  disadvantaged by an immediate  transfer of the redemption  proceeds.
The Fund  reserves  the  right,  in its  discretion,  to refuse  any  exchange
request  that may  disadvantage  it. For  example,  if the receipt of multiple
exchange  requests  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
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 Trustees and the Manager might determine in
a particular year that it would be in the best interests of shareholders for
the Fund not to make such distributions at the required levels and to pay the
excise tax on the undistributed amounts. That would reduce the amount of
income or capital gains available for distribution to shareholders.

      |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. 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
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 Auditors. KPMG LLP are the independent auditors of the Fund. They
audit the Fund's financial statements and perform other related audit
services. They also act as auditors for certain other funds advised by the
Manager and its affiliates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund (the Fund), a portfolio of the Bond
 Fund Series, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
 amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment
 objective is to seek a high level of total return on its assets through a
 combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund's investment
 advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).
    The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class M and Class N shares. Class
 A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value
 plus a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are sold
 without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred
 sales charge (CDSC). Class M shares are sold with a reduced front-end sales
 charge. Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans
 that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of
 shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in
 general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone.
 Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ by minor amounts
 due to each class having its own expenses directly attributable to that class.
 Classes A, B, C, M and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. Class
 B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares six years after the date
 of purchase.
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
 followed by the Fund.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 SECURITIES VALUATION. Securities listed or traded on National Stock Exchanges
 or other domestic or foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price
 of the security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Fund's
 assets are valued. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued based on the closing
 price provided by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued.
 In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the
 prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the closing bid and asked
 prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted
 securities) for which quotations are not readily available are valued primarily
 using dealer-supplied valuations, a portfolio pricing service authorized by the
 Board of Trustees, or at their fair value. Securities whose values have been
 materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event
 occurring before the Fund's assets are valued but after the close of their
 respective foreign exchanges will be fair valued. Fair value is determined in
 good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the
 Board of Trustees. Short-term "money market type" debt securities with
 remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (which
 approximates market value).
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 STRUCTURED NOTES. The Fund invests in structured notes whose market values and
 redemption prices are linked to the market value of specific securities. The
 structured notes are leveraged, which increases the Fund's exposure to changes
 in prices of the underlying securities and increases the volatility of each
 note's market value relative to the change in the underlying security prices.
 Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and
 losses in the accompanying financial statements. The

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
 Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured note is sold or matures.
 As of December 31, 2003, the market value of these securities comprised 2.7% of
 the Fund's net assets, and resulted in unrealized gains of $842,998.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
 Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated funds
 advised by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into joint
 trading accounts on a daily basis. Secured by U.S. government securities, these
 balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements. Securities pledged
 as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the
 agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the
 collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. In the
 event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the
 collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, GAINS AND LOSSES. Income, expenses (other than
 those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a
 daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net
 assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a
 specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 FEDERAL TAXES. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal
 Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
 substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net
 realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any,
 to shareholders, therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is
 required.

 The tax components of capital shown in the table below represent distribution
 requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the
 Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years
 and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments
 for federal income tax purposes.

 Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for
 financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and
 distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net
 realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal
 income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the
 fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in
 which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund. Accordingly,
 the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2003. Net assets
 of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

 TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for
 the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and
 fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the year ended
 December 31, 2003, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased by
 $16,097 and payments of $2,372 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an
 accumulated liability of $104,840 as of December 31, 2003.
    The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for
 independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or
 a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the
 Fund. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar
 amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or are invested in other
 Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. Deferral of trustees' fees under the
 plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect
 the Fund's assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will
 be deferred until distributed in accordance to the Plan.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and distributions to
 shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations,
 are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are
 declared and paid quarterly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared
 and paid annually.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon
 ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the
 ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend
 income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities
 received. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and
 amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENT. The reduction of custodian fees, if applicable,
 represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date.
 Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
 identified cost.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
 principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
 management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
 of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
 expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
 estimates.

 5. OPTION ACTIVITY
 The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call
 options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or
 protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities.
    The Fund generally purchases put options or writes covered call options to
 hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. When an
 option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or
 purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.
    Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal
 exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or
 depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the
 expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised,
 the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a
 written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call
 option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
    Securities designated to cover outstanding call options are noted in the
 Statement of Investments where applicable. Shares subject to call, expiration
 date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed in a note
 to the Statement of Investments. Options written are reported as a liability in
 the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses are reported
 in the Statement of Operations.
    The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity
 for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is
 exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss
 if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The
 risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the
 option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of not being able to
 enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.

 Written option activity for the year ended December 31, 2003 was as follows:

 6. ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES
 As of December 31, 2003, investments in securities included issues that are
 illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are purchased in private
 placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
 may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods
 approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also
 be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its
 valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. The Fund intends to
 invest no more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase
 and reviewed periodically) in illiquid or restricted securities. Certain
 restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional
 investors, are not subject to that limitation. The aggregate value of illiquid
 or restricted securities subject to this limitation as of December 31, 2003 was
 $2,132,636, which represents 0.33% of the Fund's net assets, of which $15,993
 is considered restricted. Information concerning restricted securities is as
 follows:

 7. BORROWING AND LENDING ARRANGEMENTS
 The Fund entered into an "interfund borrowing and lending arrangement" with
 other funds in the Oppenheimer funds complex, to allow funds to borrow for
 liquidity purposes. The arrangement was initiated pursuant to exemptive relief
 granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) to allow these
 affiliated funds to lend money to, and borrow money from, each other, in an
 attempt to reduce borrowing costs below those of bank loan facilities. The
 SEC's order requires the Fund's Board of Trustees to adopt operating policies
 and procedures to administer interfund borrowing and lending. Under the
 arrangement the Fund may lend money to other Oppenheimer funds and may borrow
 from other Oppenheimer funds at a rate set by the Fund's Board of Trustees,
 based upon a recommendation by the Manager. The Fund's borrowings, if any, are
 subject to asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act and the
 provisions of the SEC order and other applicable regulations. If the Fund
 borrows money, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day's
 notice, in which case the Fund might have to borrow from a bank at higher rates
 if a loan were not available from another Oppenheimer fund. If the Fund lends
 money to another fund, it will be subject to the risk that the other fund might
 not repay the loan in a timely manner, or at all.
    The Fund had no interfund borrowings or loans outstanding during the year
 ended or at December 31, 2003.

                             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.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard & Poor's"), a division of The
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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.




I. Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any of the
Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases may be
subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within 18
months (24 months in the case of 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.

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

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

      Those shareholders who are eligible for the prior Class A CDSC are:
         1) persons whose purchases of Class A shares of a Fund and other
            Former Connecticut Mutual Funds were $500,000 prior to March 18,
            1996, as a result of direct purchases or purchases pursuant to
            the Fund's policies on Combined Purchases or Rights of
            Accumulation, who still hold those shares in that Fund or other
            Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and
         2) persons whose intended purchases under a Statement of Intention
            entered into prior to March 18, 1996, with the former general
            distributor of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds to purchase
            shares valued at $500,000 or more over a 13-month period entitled
            those persons to purchase shares at net asset value without being
            subject to the Class A initial sales charge

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

      |X| Class A Sales Charge Waivers. Additional Class A shares of a Fund
may be purchased without a sales charge, by a person who was in one (or more)
of the categories below and acquired Class A shares prior to March 18, 1996,
and still holds Class A shares:
         1) any purchaser, provided the total initial amount invested in the
            Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds
            totaled $500,000 or more, including investments made pursuant to
            the Combined Purchases, Statement of Intention and Rights of
            Accumulation features available at the time of the initial
            purchase and such investment is still held in one or more of the
            Former Connecticut Mutual Funds or a Fund into which such Fund
            merged;
         2) any participant in a qualified plan, provided that the total
            initial amount invested by the plan in the Fund or any one or
            more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds totaled $500,000 or
            more;
         3) Directors of the Fund or any one or more of the Former
            Connecticut Mutual Funds and members of their immediate families;
         4) employee benefit plans sponsored by Connecticut Mutual Financial
            Services, L.L.C. ("CMFS"), the prior distributor of the Former
            Connecticut Mutual Funds, and its affiliated companies;
         5) one or more members of a group of at least 1,000 persons (and
            persons who are retirees from such group) engaged in a common
            business, profession, civic or charitable endeavor or other
            activity, and the spouses and minor dependent children of such
            persons, pursuant to a marketing program between CMFS and such
            group; and
         6) an institution acting as a fiduciary on behalf of an individual
            or individuals, if such institution was directly compensated by
            the individual(s) for recommending the purchase of the shares of
            the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual
            Funds, provided the institution had an agreement with CMFS.

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

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

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

In addition to the waivers set forth in the Prospectus and in this Appendix,
above, the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for redemptions of
Class A and Class B shares of a Fund and exchanges of Class A or Class B
shares of a Fund into Class A or Class B shares of a Former Connecticut
Mutual Fund provided that the Class A or Class B shares of the Fund to be
redeemed or exchanged were (i) acquired prior to March 18, 1996 or (ii) were
acquired by exchange from an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Connecticut
Mutual Fund. Additionally, the shares of such Former Connecticut Mutual Fund
must have been purchased prior to March 18, 1996:
   1) by the estate of a deceased shareholder;
   2) upon the disability of a shareholder, as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of
      the Internal Revenue Code;
   3) for retirement distributions (or loans) to participants or
      beneficiaries from retirement plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or
      403(b)(7)of the Code, or from IRAs, deferred compensation plans created
      under Section 457 of the Code, or other employee benefit plans;
   4) as tax-free returns of excess contributions to such retirement or
      employee benefit plans;
   5) in whole or in part, in connection with shares sold to any state,
      county, or city, or any instrumentality, department, authority, or
      agency thereof, that is prohibited by applicable investment laws from
      paying a sales charge or concession in connection with the purchase of
      shares of any registered investment management company;
   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.

                             America Funds, Inc.

Shareholders of Oppenheimer AMT-Free Municipals, Oppenheimer U.S. Government
Trust, Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund and Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund

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

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 In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term
"Independent Trustees" in this Statement of Additional Information refers to
those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund and who do not
have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the
distribution plan or any agreement under the plan.
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 does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the
participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.
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.
