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., (the
"Manager"),  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.

      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 Mandatory-Conversion Securities. The Fund can also invest in
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,
which consist of debt securities or preferred stock, have a mandatory
conversion feature and an adjustable conversion ratio. At its mandatory
conversion date, the securities convert automatically into equity securities
of the same or a different issuer based on the conversion ratio. As a result,
many of these securities offer unlimited potential for capital appreciation
and, in some instances are subject to complete loss of invested capital.
Moreover, mandatory-convertible securities have increased the sensitivity of
this market to the volatility of the equity markets.

            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.

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

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

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

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

            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 and  Leverage.  The Fund may not borrow money,  except to
the  extent  permitted  under  the  Investment   Company  Act,  the  rules  or
regulations  thereunder or any exemption  therefrom  that is applicable to the
Fund,  as such statute,  rules or  regulations  may be amended or  interpreted
from time to time.  Borrowing may entail  "leverage," and may be a speculative
investment strategy.  Any borrowing will be made only from banks and, pursuant
to the  requirements  of the Investment  Company Act, will 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, when computed in that
manner, should fail to meet the 300% asset coverage  requirement,  the Fund is
required within three days to reduce its bank debt to the extent  necessary to
meet that coverage requirement.  To do so, the Fund may have to sell a portion
of its  investments  at a time  when it would  otherwise  not want to sell the
securities.  Interest  on money the Fund  borrows is an expense the Fund would
not otherwise  incur,  so that during periods of substantial  borrowings,  its
expenses may increase more than the expenses of funds that do not borrow.  The
use of  leverage  also may make the Fund's  share  prices  more  sensitive  to
interest rate changes.

      |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.

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

      Based on interpretations of staff members of the SEC regarding
applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act, when the Fund purchases
a future, it must segregate liquid assets in an amount equal to the purchase
price of the future, less the margin deposit applicable to it.

      |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.

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

o     Public Disclosure. The Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly
            available no later than 60 days after the close of each of the
            Fund's fiscal quarters in semi-annual and annual reports to
            shareholders, or in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q,
            which are publicly available at the SEC. In addition, the top 10
            or more holdings are posted on the OppenheimerFunds' website at
            www.oppenheimerfunds.com in the "Fund Profiles" section. Other
            general information about the Fund's portfolio investments, such
            as portfolio composition by asset class, industry, country,
            currency, credit rating or maturity, may also be posted with a
            15-day lag.

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

    The Manager and its subsidiaries and affiliates, employees, officers, and
    directors, shall neither solicit nor accept any compensation or other
    consideration (including any agreement to maintain assets in the Fund or
    in other investment companies or accounts managed by the Manager or any
    affiliated person of the Manager) in connection with the disclosure of
    the Fund's non-public portfolio holdings. The receipt of investment
    advisory fees or other fees and compensation paid to the Manager and its
    subsidiaries pursuant to agreements approved by the Fund's Board shall
    not be deemed to be "compensation" or "consideration" for these purposes.
    It is a violation of the Code of Ethics for any covered person to release
    holdings in contravention of portfolio holdings disclosure policies and
    procedures adopted by the Fund.

    A list of the top 10 or more portfolio securities holdings (based on
    invested assets), listed by security or by issuer, as of the end of each
    month may be disclosed to third parties (subject to the procedures below)
    no sooner than 15 days after month-end.

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

o     The third-party recipient must first submit a request for release of
            Fund portfolio holdings, explaining the business reason for the
            request;
o     Senior officers (a Senior Vice President or above) in the Manager's
            Portfolio and Legal departments must approve the completed
            request for release of Fund portfolio holdings; and
o     The third-party recipient must sign the Manager's portfolio holdings
            non-disclosure agreement before receiving the data, agreeing to
            keep information that is not publicly available regarding the
            Fund's holdings confidential and agreeing not to trade directly
            or indirectly based on the information.

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

o     Employees of the Fund's Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent who
            need to have access to such information (as determined by senior
            officers of such entity),
o     The Fund's certified public accountants and independent registered
            public accounting firm,
o     Members of the Fund's Board and the Board's legal counsel,
o     The Fund's custodian bank,
o     A proxy voting service designated by the Fund and its Board,
o     Rating/ranking organizations (such as Lipper and Morningstar),
o     Portfolio pricing services retained by the Manager to provide portfolio
            security prices, and
o     Dealers, to obtain bids (price quotations if securities are not priced
            by the Fund's regular pricing services).

    Portfolio holdings information of the Fund may be provided, under limited
    circumstances, to brokers and/or dealers with whom the Fund trades and/or
    entities that provide investment coverage and/or analytical information
    regarding the Fund's portfolio, provided that there is a legitimate
    investment reason for providing the information to the broker, dealer or
    other entity. Month-end portfolio holdings information may, under this
    procedure, be provided to vendors providing research information and/or
    analytics to the fund, with at least a 15-day delay after the month end,
    but in certain cases may be provided to a broker or analytical vendor
    with a 1-2 day lag to facilitate the provision of requested investment
    information to the manager to facilitate a particular trade or the
    portfolio manager's investment process for the Fund. Any third party
    receiving such information must first sign the Manager's portfolio
    holdings non-disclosure agreement as a pre-condition to receiving this
    information.

    Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on
    individual securities positions or multiple securities) may be provided
    to the entities listed below (1) by portfolio traders employed by the
    Manager in connection with portfolio trading, and (2) by the members of
    the Manager's Security Valuation Group and Accounting Departments in
    connection with portfolio pricing or other portfolio evaluation purposes:

o     Brokers and dealers in connection with portfolio transactions
            (purchases and sales)
o     Brokers and dealers to obtain bids or bid and asked prices (if
            securities held by the Fund are not priced by the fund's regular
            pricing services)
o     Dealers to obtain price quotations where the fund is not identified as
            the owner

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

o     Response to legal process in litigation matters, such as responses to
            subpoenas or in class action matters where the Fund may be part
            of the plaintiff class (and seeks recovery for losses on a
            security) or a defendant,
o     Response to regulatory requests for information (the SEC, NASD, state
            securities regulators, and/or foreign securities authorities,
            including without limitation requests for information in
            inspections or for position reporting purposes),
o     To potential sub-advisers of portfolios (pursuant to confidentiality
            agreements),
o     To consultants for retirement plans for plan sponsors/discussions at
            due diligence meetings (pursuant to confidentiality agreements),
o     Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions (pursuant to
            confidentiality agreements)

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

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

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

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

How the Fund is Managed

Organization  and  History.  The  Fund 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.

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

      The Fund currently has 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     will generally have a different net asset value,
o     will generally 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 a vote of shareholders. Each share of the Fund
represents an interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of
each other share of the same class.

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

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

|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 Audit Committee.  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 comprised solely of
Trustees who are not "interested persons" under the Investment Company Act
(the "Independent Trustees"). The members of the Audit Committee are Paul Y.
Clinton (Chairman), Thomas W. Courtney, Robert G. Galli, Lacy B. Herrmann and
Brian Wruble. The Audit Committee held 6 meetings during the Fund's fiscal
year ended December 31, 2004. The Audit Committee furnishes the Board with
recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund's independent registered
public accounting firm (also referred to as the "independent Auditors").
Other main functions of the Audit Committee outlined in the Audit Committee
Charter, include, but are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and results
of financial statement audits and the audit fees charged; (ii) reviewing
reports from the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm
regarding the Fund's internal accounting procedures and controls;
(iii) reviewing reports from the Manager's Internal Audit Department;
(iv) maintaining a separate line of communication between the Fund's
independent Auditors and the Independent Trustees; (v) reviewing the
independence of the Fund's independent Auditors; (vi) pre-approving the
provision of any audit or non-audit services by the Fund's independent
Auditors, including tax services, that are not prohibited by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to the Fund, the Manager and certain affiliates of the
Manager.

      The Audit Committee's functions include selecting and nominating, to
the full Board, nominees for election as Trustees, and selecting and
nominating Independent Trustees for election. The Audit Committee may, but
need not, consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and its
affiliates in selecting nominees. The full Board elects new Trustees except
for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

      To date, the Audit Committee has been able to identify from its own
resources an ample number of qualified candidates. Nonetheless, shareholders
may submit names of individuals for the Audit Committee's consideration by
mailing such information, accompanied by complete and properly supported
resumes, to the Audit Committee in care of the Fund. The Audit Committee may
consider such persons at such time as it meets to consider possible nominees.
The Audit Committee, however, reserves sole discretion to determine the
candidates to present to the Board and/or shareholders when it meets for the
purpose of considering potential nominees.

Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Each of the Trustees is an "Independent
Trustee" under the Investment Company Act. All of the Trustees, except for
Mr. Cannon are also directors or trustees of the following Oppenheimer funds
(referred to as "Board III Funds"):

         Bond Fund Series
         Oppenheimer MidCap Fund
         Oppenheimer Quest Capital Value Fund, Inc.
         Oppenheimer Quest For Value Funds
         Oppenheimer Quest International Value Fund, Inc.
         Oppenheimer Quest Value Fund, Inc.
         Rochester Fund Municipals
         Rochester Portfolio Series

      Mr. Cannon is a Trustee of Bond Fund Series, Rochester Fund Municipals
and Rochester Portfolio Series. In addition to being a director or trustee of
the Board III Funds, Messrs. Galli and Wruble are also directors or trustees
of 38 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 reduced sales efforts realized by the
Distributor.

      Messrs. Everett, Gillespie, Murphy, Petersen, Vandehey, Vottiero,
Wixted and Zack and Mss. Bloomberg and Ives, who are officers of the Fund,
hold the same offices with one or more of the other Board III Funds. As of
October 31, 2005 the Trustees and officers of the Fund, as a group, owned of
record or beneficially less than 1% of any class of shares of the Fund. The
foregoing statement does not reflect ownership of shares held of record by an
employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other than the shares
beneficially owned under that plan by the officers of the Fund listed above.
In addition, none of the Independent Trustees (nor any of their immediate
family members) owns securities of either the Manager or the Distributor of
the Board III Funds or of any entity directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the Manager or the Distributor.

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

1.   "Aggregate Compensation From the 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." Actual benefits upon retirement may vary
     based on retirement age, years of service and benefit payment elections
     of the Trustee.
3.   "Total Compensation From the Fund and Fund Complex" includes fees,
     deferred compensation (if any) and accrued retirement benefits (if any).
     For purposes of this section only, in accordance with the instructions
     for Form N-1A, "Fund Complex" includes the Oppenheimer funds and one
     open-end investment company, PIMCO Advisors VIT ("PIMCO") (formerly OCC
     Accumulation Trust) for which the Fund's former Sub-Adviser acts as the
     investment adviser. The Manager does not consider PIMCO to be part of
     the OppenheimerFunds "Fund Complex" as that term may be otherwise
     interpreted.
4.   Includes $51,071 ($26,750 compensation and $24,321 accrued retirement
     benefits) from PIMCO, with respect to Mr. Courtney's service as a
     trustee of that fund.
5.   Includes $50,389 ($26,500 compensation and $23,889 accrued retirement
     benefits) from PIMCO, with respect to Mr. Clinton's service as a trustee
     of that fund.
6.   Includes $43,933 estimated benefits to be paid to Mr. Galli for serving
     as a director or trustee of 38 other Oppenheimer funds (at December 31,
     2004) that are not Board III funds.
7.   Includes $129,312 for serving as a director or trustee of 38 other
     Oppenheimer funds (at December 31, 2004) that are not Board III Funds.
8.   Includes $50,071 ($25,750 compensation and $24,321 accrued retirement
     benefits) from PIMCO, with respect to Mr. Herrmann's service as a
     trustee of that fund.
9.   Total Compensation and Estimated Annual Retirement Benefits for Mr.
     Cannon are for serving as a trustee of the Fund and two other funds in
     the Fund Complex.


Retirement Plan for Trustees. The Fund has adopted a retirement plan that
provides for payments to retired Independent 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. Trustees must serve as director
or trustee for any of the Board III Funds for at least seven years to be
eligible for retirement plan benefits and must serve for at least 15 years to
be eligible for the maximum benefit. The amount of retirement benefits a
Trustee will receive depends on the amount of the Trustee's compensation,
including future compensation and the length of his or her service on the
Board.

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

      Deferral of Trustees' fees under the plan will not materially affect
the Fund's assets, liabilities or net income per share. The plan will not
obligate a 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, a 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 compensation account.

      Major Shareholders. As of March 31, 2005, the only persons or entities
who owned of record or were known by the Fund to own beneficially 5% or more

The Manager. The Manager is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a
holding company controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, a
global, diversified insurance and financial services organization.

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

      The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the Fund's registration statement
filed with the SEC and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public
Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You can obtain information about the hours
of operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at
1.202.942.8090. The Code of Ethics can also be viewed as part of the Fund's
registration statement on the SEC's EDGAR database at the SEC's Internet
website at www.sec.gov. Copies may be obtained, after paying a duplicating
fee, by electronic request at the following E-mail address:
publicinfo@sec.gov., or by writing to the SEC's Public Reference Section,
Washington, D.C. 20549-0102.

      Portfolio Proxy Voting.  The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting
Policies and Procedures 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 the Manager where a
directly-controlled affiliate of the Manager 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 the independent registered public
         accounting firm, unless circumstances indicate otherwise.
o     In general, the Fund opposes "anti-takeover" proposals and supports the
         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 is required to file Form N-PX, with its complete proxy voting
record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of each
year. The Fund's Form N-PX filing is available (i) without charge, upon
request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.525.7048 and (ii) on the
SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

o     The Investment Advisory Agreement.  The Manager provides investment
advisory and management services to the Fund under an investment advisory
agreement between the Manager and the Fund. The Manager selects securities
for the Fund's portfolio and handles its day-to-day business. The portfolio
manager of the Fund is employed by the Manager and is the person who is
principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's
portfolio. Other members of the Manager's Equity Portfolio Department provide
the portfolio managers with counsel and support in managing the Fund's
portfolio.

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

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiscal Year ended 12/31:         Management Fees Paid to OppenheimerFunds, Inc.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           2002                                    $2,848,275
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           2003                                    $2,755,382

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           2004                                    $2,940,552
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      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.

 Portfolio  Manager.  The  Fund's  portfolio  is  managed  by  Edward  Everett
(referred to as the "Portfolio  Manager").  He is the person  responsible  for
the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments.

      Other Accounts Managed.  As of December 31, 2004, Mr. Everett
did not manage any other fund or account. However, he may be responsible for
the management of another fund or account in the future. Potentially, at
times, any such responsibilities could conflict with the interests of the
Fund. However, the Manager's compliance procedures and Code of Ethics
recognize the Manager's fiduciary obligation to treat all of its clients,
including the Fund, fairly and equitably, and are designed to preclude the
Portfolio Manager from favoring one client over another. It is possible, of
course, that those compliance procedures and the Code of Ethics may not
always be adequate to do so.

     Compensation of the Portfolio Manager.  The Fund's Portfolio Manager is
employed and compensated by the Manager, not the Fund. Under the Manager's
compensation program for its portfolio managers and portfolio analysts, their
compensation is based primarily on the investment performance results of the
funds and accounts they manage, rather than on the financial success of the
Manager. This is intended to align the portfolio managers and analysts
interests with the success of the funds and accounts and their shareholders.
The Manager's compensation structure is designed to attract and retain highly
qualified investment management professionals and to reward individual and
team contributions toward creating shareholder value. As of December 31,
2004, the Portfolio Manager's compensation consisted of three elements: a
base salary, an annual discretionary bonus and eligibility to participate in
long-term awards of options and appreciation rights in regard to the common
stock of the Manager's holding company parent. Senior portfolio managers may
also be eligible to participate in the Manager's deferred compensation plan.

      To help the Manager attract and retain talent, the base pay component
of each portfolio manager is reviewed regularly to ensure that it reflects
the performance of the individual, is commensurate with the requirements of
the particular portfolio, reflects any specific competence or specialty of
the individual manager, and is competitive with other comparable positions.
The annual discretionary bonus is determined by senior management of the
Manager and is based on a number of factors, including a fund's pre-tax
performance for periods of up to five years, measured against, an appropriate
Lipper benchmark selected by management. The Lipper benchmark with respect to
the Fund is Lipper - Convertible Securities Fund Index. Other factors include
management quality (such as style consistency, risk management, sector
coverage, team leadership and coaching) and organizational development. The
Portfolio Manager's compensation is not based on the total value of the
Fund's portfolio assets, although the Fund's investment performance may
increase those assets. The compensation structure is also intended to be
internally equitable and serve to reduce potential conflicts of interest
between the Fund and other funds and accounts that may be managed by the
Portfolio Manager.

      Ownership of Fund Shares. As of December 31, 2004, the Portfolio
Manager beneficially owned shares of the Fund as follows:

         --------------------------------------------------------------
         Portfolio Manager  Range of Shares  Beneficially Owned in the
                            Fund
         --------------------------------------------------------------
         --------------------------------------------------------------
         Edward Everett     $100,001 - $500,000
         --------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

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

Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class
A shares and Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C, Class M 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 Trustees(1), cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

|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. The Distributor
does not receive or retain the service fee on Class A shares in accounts for
which the Distributor has been listed as the broker-dealer of record. While
the plan permits the Board to authorize payments to the Distributor to
reimburse itself for services under the plan, the Board has not yet done so,
except in the case of the special arrangement described below, regarding
grandfathered retirement accounts. The Distributor makes payments to
recipients periodically 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
periodically on those shares. The advance payment is based on the net asset
value of shares sold. Shares purchased by exchange do not qualify for the
advance service fee payment. If Class 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, 2004 payments under the Class A
plan totaled $771,143, of which $11,824 was retained by the Distributor under
the arrangement described above, regarding grandfathered retirement accounts,
and included $36,541 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 Distribution and Service Plan
Fees. Under each plan, distribution and service fees are computed on the
average of the net asset value of shares in the respective class, determined
as of the close of each regular business day during the period. Each plan
provides for the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the
Distributor's distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by
the Fund under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid. The
Class M plan allows the Distributor to be reimbursed for its services and
costs in distributing Class M shares and servicing accounts. However,
effective February 11, 2004, the Board has set the 0.50% annual asset based
sales charge at zero. The types of services that recipients provide are
similar to the services provided under the Class A service plan, described
above.

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

      The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and
Class C expenses by 1.00%, the asset-based sales charge and service fees
increase Class N expenses by 0.50%, and the service fees increase Class M
expenses by 0.25% of the net assets per year of the respective classes.

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

      The asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares
allow investors to buy shares without a front-end sales charge while allowing
the Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares. The Fund pays
the asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for its services rendered in
distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares. The payments are made to
the Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:
o     pays sales concessions to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of
         sale and pays service fees as described above,
o     may finance payment of sales concessions and/or the advance of the
         service fee payment to recipients under the plans, or may provide
         such financing from its own resources or from the resources of an
         affiliate,
o     employs personnel to support distribution of Class B, Class C and Class
         N shares,
o     bears the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses
         (other than those furnished to current shareholders) and state "blue
         sky" registration fees and certain other distribution expenses,
o     may not be able to adequately compensate dealers that sell Class B,
         Class C and Class N shares without receiving payment under the plans
         and therefore may not be able to offer such Classes for sale absent
         the plans,
o     receives payments under the plans consistent with the service fees and
         asset-based sales charges paid by other non-proprietary funds that
         charge 12b-1 fees,
o     may use the payments under the plan to include the Fund in various
         third-party distribution programs that may increase sales of Fund
         shares,
o     may experience increased difficulty selling the Fund's shares if
         payments under the plan are discontinued because most competitor
         funds have plans that pay dealers for rendering distribution
         services as much or more than the amounts currently being paid by
         the Fund, and
o     may not be able to continue providing, at the same or at a lesser cost,
         the same quality distribution sales efforts and services, or to
         obtain such services from brokers and dealers, if the plan payments
         were to be discontinued.

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

charges and service fees.

Payments to Fund Intermediaries

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

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

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

o     depending on the share class that the investor selects, contingent
              deferred sales charges or initial front-end sales charges, all
              or a portion of which front-end sales charges are payable by
              the Distributor to financial intermediaries as sales
              commissions (see "About Your Account" in the Prospectus);
o     ongoing asset-based payments attributable to the share class selected,
              including fees payable under the Fund's distribution and/or
              service plans adopted under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
              Company Act, which are paid from the Fund's assets and
              allocated to the class of shares to which the plan relates (see
              "About the Fund -- Distribution and Service Plans" above);
o     shareholder servicing payments for providing omnibus accounting,
              recordkeeping, networking, sub-transfer agency or other
              administrative or shareholder services, including retirement
              plan and 529 plan administrative services fees, which are paid
              from the assets of a Fund as reimbursement to the Manager or
              Distributor for expenses they incur on behalf of the Fund.

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

o     These types of payments may reflect compensation for marketing support,
              support provided in offering the Fund or other Oppenheimer
              funds through certain trading platforms and programs,
              transaction processing or other services;
o     The Manager and Distributor each may also pay other compensation to the
              extent the payment is not prohibited by law or by any
              self-regulatory agency, such as the NASD. Payments are made
              based on the guidelines established by the Manager and
              Distributor, subject to applicable law.

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

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

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

o     transactional support, one-time charges for setting up access for the
         Fund or other Oppenheimer funds on particular trading systems, and
         paying the intermediary's networking fees;
o     program support, such as expenses related to including the Oppenheimer
         funds in retirement plans, college savings plans, fee-based advisory
         or wrap fee programs, fund "supermarkets", bank or trust company
         products or insurance companies' variable annuity or variable life
         insurance products;
o     placement on the dealer's list of offered funds and providing
         representatives of the Distributor with access to a financial
         intermediary's sales meetings, sales representatives and management
         representatives.

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

      For the year ended December 31, 2004, the following financial
intermediaries that are broker-dealers offering shares of the Oppenheimer
funds, and/or their respective affiliates, received revenue sharing or
similar distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor for
marketing or program support:

Performance of the Fund

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

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

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

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 may not reflect the effect of taxes on
         dividends and capital gains distributions.
o     An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other
         government agency.
o     The principal value of the Fund's shares, 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 and Class M 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 and
Class M 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) are 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 Class A, Class B, Class C, Class M or
Class N shares. Each is based on the difference in net asset value per share
at the beginning and the end of the period for a hypothetical investment in
that class of shares (without considering front-end or contingent deferred
sales charges) and takes into consideration the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains distributions.

Other Performance Comparisons. The Fund compares its performance annually to
that of an appropriate broadly-based market index in its Annual Report to
shareholders. You can obtain that information by contacting the Transfer
Agent at the addresses or telephone numbers shown on the cover of this
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,

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

How to Buy Shares

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

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

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

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

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"), you can reduce the
sales charge rate that applies to your purchases of Class A shares if you
purchase Class A, Class B or Class C shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer
funds during a 13-month period. The total amount of your purchases of Class
A, Class B and Class C shares will determine the sales charge rate that
applies to your Class A share purchases during that period. You can choose to
include purchases that you made up to 90 days before the date of the Letter.
Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund and Oppenheimer Cash Reserves
on which you have not paid a sales charge and any Class N shares you
purchase, or may have purchased, will not be counted towards satisfying the
purchases specified in a Letter.

      A Letter is an investor's statement in writing to the Distributor of
his or her intention to purchase a specified value of Class A, Class B and
Class C 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 will equal or exceed the amount specified in the Letter.
Purchases made by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions
and purchases made at net asset value (i.e. without a sales charge) do not
count toward satisfying the amount of the Letter.

      Each purchase of Class A shares under the Letter will be made at the
offering price (including the sales charge) that would apply 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 and Class C shares of other Oppenheimer funds acquired subject
            to a contingent deferred sales charge, and
(c)   Class A, Class B or Class C 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 or Class C 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.

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

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

Retirement Plans.  Certain types of retirement plans are entitled to purchase
shares of the Fund without sales charges or at reduced sales charge rates, as
described in Appendix 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 $1 million in assets invested in
applicable investments (other than assets invested in money market funds),
then the retirement plan may purchase only Class C shares of the Oppenheimer
funds.  If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record
keeping service agreement the plan has $1 million or more in assets but less
than $5 million in assets invested in applicable investments (other than
assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase
only Class N shares of the Oppenheimer funds.  If on the date the plan
sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement the plan
has $5 million or more in assets invested in applicable investments (other
than assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may
purchase only Class A shares of the Oppenheimer funds.

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

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

Classes of Shares. Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in
the same portfolio of investments of the Fund. However, each class has
different shareholder privileges and features. The net income attributable to
Class B, Class C, Class M or Class N shares and the dividends payable on
Class B, Class C, Class M 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.
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.

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

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

Class B, Class C, Class M or Class N shares may not be purchased by an
investor directly from the Distributor without the investor designating
another registered broker-dealer.

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

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

      Listed below are certain cases in which the Fund has elected, in its
discretion, not to assess the Fund Account Fees.  These exceptions are
subject to change:
o     A fund account whose shares were acquired after September 30th of the
            prior year;
o     A fund account that has a balance below $500 due to the automatic
            conversion of shares from Class B to Class A shares. However,
            once all Class B shares held in the account have been converted
            to Class A shares the new account balance may become subject to
            the Minimum Balance Fee;
o     Accounts of shareholders who elect to access their account documents
            electronically via eDoc Direct;
o     A fund account that has only certificated shares and, has a balance
            below $500 and is being escheated;
o     Accounts of shareholders that are held by broker-dealers under the NSCC
            Fund/SERV system;
o     Accounts held under the Oppenheimer Legacy Program and/or holding
            certain Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds;
o     Omnibus accounts holding shares pursuant to the Pinnacle, Ascender,
            Custom Plus, Recordkeeper Pro and Pension Alliance Retirement
            Plan programs; and
o     A fund account that falls below the $500 minimum solely due to market
            fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the
            fee is deducted.

      To access account documents electronically via eDocs Direct, please

1.888.470.0862 for instructions.

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

Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share. The net asset values per share
of each class of shares of the Fund are determined as of the close of
business of the NYSE on each day that the NYSE is open. The calculation is
done by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets attributable to a class
by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The NYSE normally
closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, but may close earlier on some other days
(for example, in case of weather emergencies or on days falling before a U.S.
holiday). All references to time in this Statement of Additional Information
mean "Eastern time." The NYSE's most recent annual announcement (which is
subject to change) states that it will close on New Year's Day, Martin Luther
King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day,
Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on other
days.

      Dealers other than NYSE members may conduct trading in certain
securities on days on which the NYSE is closed (including weekends and
holidays) or after 4:00 p.m. on a regular business day. Because the Fund's
net asset 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 NYSE.

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

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

      Puts, calls, and futures are valued at the last sale price on the
principal exchange on which they are traded or on NASDAQ(R), 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(R)on
the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the
principal exchange or on NASDAQ(R)on the valuation date. If the put, call or
future is not traded on an exchange or on NASDAQ(R), 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 or Class M 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 NYSE on a regular business day, it will be processed at that
day's net asset value if the order was received by the dealer or broker from
its customers prior to the time the NYSE closes. Normally, the NYSE closes at
4:00 p.m., but may do so earlier on some days. 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.

      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:

      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 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).
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund III 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 III until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (12/16/2011).

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

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

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

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.

      |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
and Class M 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.

      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.

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

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

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

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

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

      Investment income that may be received by the Fund from sources within
foreign countries may be subject to foreign taxes withheld at the source. The
United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries which
entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such
income. The Fund may be subject to U.S. Federal income tax, and an interest
charge, on certain distributions or gains from the sale of shares of a
foreign company considered to be a PFIC, even if those amounts are paid out
as dividends to shareholders. To avoid imposition of the interest charge, the
Fund may elect to "mark to market" all PFIC shares that it holds at the end
of each taxable year. In that case, any increase or decrease in the value of
those shares would be recognized as ordinary income or as ordinary loss (but
only to the extent of previously recognized "mark-to-market" gains).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dividend Reinvestment in Another Fund. Shareholders of the Fund may elect to
reinvest all dividends and/or capital gains distributions in shares of the
same class of any of the other Oppenheimer funds 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
may be invested in shares of this Fund on the same basis.

Additional Information About the Fund

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

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

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

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. KPMG LLP serves as the
independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund.  KPMG LLP audits
the Fund's financial statements and performs other related audit services.
KPMG LLP also acts as the independent registered public accounting firm for
the Manager and certain other funds advised by the Manager and its
affiliates. Audit and non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP to the Fund
must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

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 due
to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder
servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to
that class. Class A, B, C, 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. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as
of the close of The New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange), normally 4:00 P.M.
Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business. 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.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity
in excess of 60 days and all mortgage-backed securities will be valued at the
mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices. Securities may be valued primarily
using dealer-supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service authorized by
the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value.
Foreign and domestic 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 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).

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued

STRUCTURED NOTES. The Fund invests in structured notes whose market values,
interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked to the performance of
underlying foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, stock market indices,
prices of individual securities, commodities or other financial instruments or
the occurrence of other specific events. The structured notes are often
leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note's market value relative to the
change in the underlying linked financial element or event. Fluctuations in
value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the
accompanying financial statements. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when
a structured note is sold or matures. As of December 31, 2004, the market value
of these securities comprised 2.7% of the Fund's net assets and resulted in
unrealized cumulative gains of $1,036,732.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. 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.

1. As of December 31, 2004, the Fund had $109,300,089 of net capital loss
carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and
thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of December 31, 2004,
details of the capital loss carryforwards were as follows.

2.During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, the Fund utilized $22,626,011
of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal
year.

3. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Fund utilized $24,570,184
of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal
year.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for
financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and
distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net
realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal
income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the
fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in
which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund. Accordingly, the
following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2004. Net assets of
the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of
unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for
federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2004 are noted below. The primary
difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and
other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses
or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, 2004, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased by $13,596 and
payments of $2,372 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an accumulated
liability of $116,064 as of December 31, 2004.

      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.
For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan,
deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in
shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The
Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in
amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal
to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component
of "Other" within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Deferral of trustees' fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the
Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund's assets, liabilities or net
investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in
accordance to the Plan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CUSTODIAN FEES. Custodian Fees and Expenses in the Statement of Operations may
include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its
custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the
effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows
resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays
interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts at a rate equal to the Federal
Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The Reduction to


                  42 | OPPENHEIMER CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND


Custodian Expenses line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash
balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and
other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles 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.

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other
than U.S. government obligations and short-term obligations, for the year ended
December 31, 2004, were $311,733,023 and $328,138,505, respectively. There were
no purchases and sales of $25,103,516 of U.S. government and government agency
obligations for the year ended December 31, 2004.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

MANAGEMENT FEES. Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the
investment advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for a fee at an
annual rate of 0.625% of the first $50 million of average annual net assets of
the Fund, 0.50% of the next $250 million and 0.4375% of average annual net
assets over $300 million.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACCOUNTING FEES. Accounting fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the
accounting services agreement with the Fund which provides for an annual fee of
$12,000 for the first $30 million of average daily net assets and $9,000 for
each additional $30 million of average daily net assets. During the year ended
December 31, 2004, the Fund paid $187,502 to the Manager for accounting and
pricing services.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADMINISTRATION SERVICES. The Fund pays the Manager a fee of $1,500 per year for
preparing and filing the Fund's tax returns.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager,
acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays
OFS a per account fee. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Fund paid
$861,707 to OFS for services to the Fund.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN (12b-1) FEES. Under its General Distributor's
Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the Distributor)
acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of
the Fund's classes of shares.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SERVICE PLAN FOR CLASS A SHARES. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A
shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for
services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made
quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of
Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor


                  44 | OPPENHEIMER CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND


currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other
financial institutions quarterly for providing personal services and maintenance
of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed
expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal
year cannot be recovered in subsequent years. Fees incurred by the Fund under
the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS FOR CLASS B, CLASS C, CLASS M AND CLASS N SHARES.
The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C, Class
M and Class N shares to compensate the Distributor for its services in
connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under
the plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of
0.75% per year on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% per year on Class N
shares. While the Class M plan permits an annual asset-based sales charge
payment of 0.50%, the Board has set that payment at zero effective February 11,
2004. The Distributor also receives a service fee of up to 0.25% per year under
each plan. If either the Class B, Class C, Class M or Class N plan is terminated
by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its
independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to
payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based
sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such
termination. The Distributor's aggregate uncompensated expenses under the plan
at December 31, 2004 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $2,725,440,
$2,181,422 and $27,851, respectively. Fees incurred by the Fund under the plans
are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SALES CHARGES. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the
proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds
prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the
Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on
the redemption of shares is shown in the table below for the period indicated.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAYMENTS AND WAIVERS OF EXPENSES. Following a review of its use of brokerage
commissions for sales that is permitted under its investment advisory agreement,
the Fund's Manager terminated that practice in July 2003. Subsequently, the
Manager paid the Fund $3,750, an amount equivalent to certain of such
commissions incurred in prior years.

      OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing
agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, OFS waived $38 for Class M shares. This
undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

5. ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES

As of December 31, 2004, 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 will not invest 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.
Information concerning restricted securities is as follows:

6. LITIGATION

A consolidated amended complaint has been filed as putative derivative and class
actions against the Manager, OFS and the Distributor (collectively, the
"Oppenheimer defendants"), as well as 51 of the Oppenheimer funds (as "Nominal
Defendants") including the Fund, 31 present and former Directors or Trustees and
9 present and former officers of the funds. This complaint, filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York on January 10, 2005,
consolidates into a single action and amends six individual previously-filed
putative derivative and class action complaints. Like those prior complaints,
the complaint alleges that the Manager charged excessive fees for distribution
and other costs, improperly used assets of the funds in the form of directed
brokerage commissions and 12b-1 fees to pay brokers to promote sales of the
funds, and failed to properly disclose the use of assets of the funds to make
those payments in violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Also, like those prior complaints, the
complaint further alleges that by permitting and/or participating in those
actions, the Directors/Trustees and the Officers breached their fiduciary duties
to shareholders of the funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and at
common law. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages,
rescission of the funds' investment advisory agreements, an accounting of all
fees paid, and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.


                  46 | OPPENHEIMER CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND


      The Oppenheimer defendants believe that the allegations contained in the
Complaints are without merit and that they, the funds named as Nominal
Defendants, and the Directors/Trustees of those funds have meritorious defenses
against the claims asserted. The Oppenheimer defendants intend to defend these
lawsuits vigorously and to contest any claimed liability, and they have retained
legal counsel to defend such suits. The Oppenheimer defendants believe that it
is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome
unfavorable to them and that no estimate can yet be made with any degree of
certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss.


                                  Appendix A

                             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 shares(2) of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge
that may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.(3)  That
is because of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this document as the "Distributor"), or by
dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares to certain
classes of investors. Not all waivers apply to all funds.

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

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

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



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

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

      There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any
of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases
may be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed
within 18 months (24 months in the case of Oppenheimer Rochester National
Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) of the beginning of the calendar
month of their purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a waiver
described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the redemption).
Additionally, on shares purchased under these waivers that are subject to the
Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the Distributor will pay the
applicable concession described in the Prospectus under "Class A Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge."(6) This waiver provision applies to:
|_|   Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more.
|_|   Purchases of Class A shares by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to
         purchase such shares at net asset value but subject to a contingent
         deferred sales charge prior to March 1, 2001. That included plans
         (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares
         costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more
         eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3)
         certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan
         purchases of $200,000 or more.
|_|   Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Rollover IRA, if the
         purchases are made:
         1) through a broker, dealer, bank or registered investment adviser
            that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those
            purchases, or
         2) by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified
            Retirement Plan if the administrator of that Plan has made
            special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.
|_|   Purchases of Class A shares by Retirement Plans that have any of the
         following record-keeping arrangements:
         1) The record keeping is performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner &
            Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") on a daily valuation basis for the
            Retirement Plan. On the date the plan sponsor signs the
            record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan
            must have $3 million or more of its assets invested in (a) mutual
            funds, other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch
            Investment Management, L.P. ("MLIM"), that are made available
            under a Service Agreement between Merrill Lynch and the mutual
            fund's principal underwriter or distributor, and  (b)  funds
            advised or managed by MLIM (the funds described in (a) and (b)
            are referred to as "Applicable Investments").
         2) The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a
            daily valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are
            provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement
            Plan and Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the
            record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan
            must have $5 million or more of its assets (excluding assets
            invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable
            Investments.
         3) The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a
            service agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan
            sponsor signs that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible
            employees (as determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion
            manager).

         brothers and sisters, sons- and daughters-in-law, a sibling's
         spouse, a spouse's siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews;

         intermediary for purchasing shares.
|_|   Directors, trustees, officers or full-time employees of OpCap Advisors
         or its affiliates, their relatives or any trust, pension, profit
         sharing or other benefit plan which beneficially owns shares for
         those persons.
|_|   Accounts for which Oppenheimer Capital (or its successor) is the
         investment advisor (the Distributor must be advised of this
         arrangement) and persons who are directors or trustees of the

|_|   Retirement Plans and deferred compensation plans and trusts used to
         fund those plans (including, for example, plans qualified or created
         under sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) or 457 of the Internal Revenue
         Code), in each case if those purchases are made through a broker,
         agent or other financial intermediary that has made special
         arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.
|_|   A TRAC-2000 401(k) plan (sponsored by the former Quest for Value
         Advisors) whose Class B or Class C shares of a Former Quest for
         Value Fund were exchanged for Class A shares of that Fund due to the
         termination of the Class B and Class C TRAC-2000 program on November
         24, 1995.
|_|   A qualified Retirement Plan that had agreed with the former Quest for
         Value Advisors to purchase shares of any of the Former Quest for
         Value Funds at net asset value, with such shares to be held through
         DCXchange, a sub-transfer agency mutual fund clearinghouse, if that
         arrangement was consummated and share purchases commenced by
         December 31, 1996.
|_|   Effective October 1, 2005, taxable accounts established with the
         proceeds of Required Minimum Distributions from Retirement Plans.

B. Waivers of the Class A Initial and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in
Certain Transactions.

1.    Class A shares issued or purchased in the following transactions are
   not subject to sales charges (and no concessions are paid by the
   Distributor on such purchases):
|_|   Shares issued in plans of reorganization, such as mergers, asset
         acquisitions and exchange offers, to which the Fund is a party.
|_|   Shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or other
         distributions reinvested from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds or
         unit investment trusts for which reinvestment arrangements have been
         made with the Distributor.
|_|   Shares purchased by certain Retirement Plans that are part of a
         retirement plan or platform offered by banks, broker-dealers,
         financial advisors or insurance companies, or serviced by
         recordkeepers.

            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

         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.
(2) Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible
Securities Fund.
(3) In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a
continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to contingent deferred sales
charges mean the Fund's Early Withdrawal Charges and references to
"redemptions" mean "repurchases" of shares.
(4) An "employee benefit plan" means any plan or arrangement, whether or not
it is "qualified" under the Internal Revenue Code, under which Class N shares
of an Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a fiduciary or other
administrator for the account of participants who are employees of a single
employer or of affiliated employers. These may include, for example, medical
savings accounts, payroll deduction plans or similar plans. The fund accounts
must be registered in the name of the fiduciary or administrator purchasing
the shares for the benefit of participants in the plan.
(5) The term "Group Retirement Plan" means any qualified or non-qualified
retirement plan for employees of a corporation or sole proprietorship,
members and employees of a partnership or association or other organized
group of persons (the members of which may include other groups), if the
group has made special arrangements with the Distributor and all members of
the group participating in (or who are eligible to participate in) the plan
purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment
dealer, broker or other financial institution designated by the group. Such
plans include 457 plans, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and 403(b) plans
other than plans for public school employees. The term "Group Retirement
Plan" also includes qualified retirement plans and non-qualified deferred
compensation plans and IRAs that purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or
funds through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial
institution that has made special arrangements with the Distributor.
(6) However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in
amounts of $1 million or more (including any right of accumulation) by a
Retirement Plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of
Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more
than one year.
(7) This provision does not apply to IRAs.
(8) This provision only applies to qualified retirement plans and 403(b)(7)
custodial plans after your separation from service in or after the year you
reached age 55.
(9) The distribution must be requested prior to Plan termination or the
elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment option under the Plan.
(10) This provision does not apply to IRAs.
(11) This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans
and loans from the OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single K retirement plan.
(12) This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the
participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.
