ABOUT THE FUND

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

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

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

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

|X| Investments in Equity Securities. The Fund emphasizes investments in equity
securities of small-cap companies. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred
stocks, rights and warrants, and securities convertible into common stock. The Fund's
investments primarily include stocks of companies having a market capitalization under $3.0
billion, but the Fund can purchase securities of issuers having a larger market
capitalization.

Current income is not a criterion used to select equity securities, as the Fund does
not seek income as part of its goal. However, certain debt securities can be selected for
the Fund's portfolio for liquidity needs or for defensive purposes (including debt
securities that the Manager believes might offer some opportunities for capital
appreciation when stocks are disfavored).

Securities of newer small-cap companies might offer greater opportunities for capital
appreciation than securities of large, more established companies. However, these
securities also involve greater risks than securities of larger companies. Securities of
small-capitalization issuers may be subject to greater price volatility in general than
securities of large-cap and mid-cap companies. Therefore, to the degree that the Fund has
investments in smaller capitalization companies at times of market volatility, the Fund's
share price may fluctuate more than that of funds focusing on larger-capitalization issuers.

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

Using value investing requires research as to the issuer's underlying financial
condition and prospects. Some of the measures that can be used to identify these securities
include, among others:
o Price/Earnings ratio, which is the stock's price divided by its earnings per share. A
stock having a price/earnings ratio lower than its historical range, or the market
as a whole or that of similar companies may offer attractive investment
opportunities.
o Price/book value ratio, which is the stock price divided by the book value of the
company per share, which measures the company's stock price in relation to its
asset value.
o Dividend Yield is measured by dividing the annual dividend by the stock price per
share.
o Valuation of Assets, which compares the stock price to the value of the company's
underlying assets, including their projected value in the marketplace and
liquidation value.

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

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

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

o Convertible Securities. Convertible securities are debt securities that are
convertible into an issuer's common stock. Convertible securities rank senior to common
stock in a corporation's capital structure and therefore are subject to less risk than
common stock in case of the issuer's bankruptcy or liquidation.

The value of a convertible security is a function of its "investment value" and its
"conversion value." If the investment value exceeds the conversion value, the security will
behave more like a debt security, and the security's price will likely increase when
interest rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds
the investment value, the security will behave more like an equity security: it will likely
sell at a premium over its conversion value, and its price will tend to fluctuate directly
with the price of the underlying security. Convertible securities are subject to credit
risks and interest rate risk as discussed below under "Investments in Debt Securities."

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." In those cases, the credit rating assigned to
the security has less impact on the Manager's investment decision than in the case of
non-convertible fixed-income securities. To determine whether convertible securities should
be regarded as "equity equivalents," the Manager examines the following factors:
(1) whether, at the option of the investor, the convertible security can be exchanged for
a fixed number of shares of common stock of the issuer,
(2) whether the issuer of the convertible securities has restated its earnings per share
of common stock on a fully diluted basis (considering the effect of conversion of
the convertible securities), and
(3) the extent to which the convertible security may be a defensive "equity substitute,"
providing the ability to participate in any appreciation in the price of the
issuer's common stock.

|X| Investments in Debt Securities. While the Fund does not invest for the purpose of
seeking current income, at times the portfolio managers may select certain debt securities
(besides convertible debt securities described above) for investment by the Fund for
liquidity or defensive purposes. For example, when the stock market is volatile, or when
the portfolio managers believe that growth opportunities in stocks are not attractive, debt
securities might offer defensive opportunities and also some opportunities for capital
appreciation. These investments could include corporate bonds and notes of foreign or U.S.
companies, as well as U.S. and foreign government securities. It is not expected that this
will be a significant portfolio strategy of the Fund under normal market conditions.

o Credit Risk. Debt securities are subject to credit risk. Credit risk relates to the
ability of the issuer of a debt security to make interest or principal payments on the
security as they become due. If the issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income may be
reduced and if the issuer fails to repay principal, the value of that bond and of the
Fund's shares may be reduced. The Manager may rely to some extent on credit ratings by
nationally recognized rating agencies in evaluating the credit risk of securities selected
for the Fund's portfolio. It may also use its own research and analysis. Many factors
affect an issuer's ability to make timely payments, and the credit risks of a particular
security may change over time. The Fund can invest up to 5% of its total assets in
higher-yielding lower-grade debt securities (that is, securities below investment grade).

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

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

o Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. The Fund can invest up to 5% of its total
assets in lower-grade securities. Lower-grade securities (commonly known as "junk bonds")
are rated less than "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("Standard & Poor's") or
less than "Baa" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or have a comparable rating
from another rating organization. If unrated, a security is considered to be below
investment grade if the Manager deems it to be of comparable quality to securities rated
less than investment grade. The Fund does not intend to invest in securities that are in
default.

High-yield, lower-grade securities, whether rated or unrated, often have speculative
characteristics and special risks that make them riskier investments than investment grade
securities. They may be subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of loss of income
and principal than lower yielding, investment-grade securities. There may be less of a
market for them and therefore they may be harder to sell at an acceptable price. There is a
relatively greater possibility that the issuer's earnings may be insufficient to make the
payments of interest due on the bonds. The issuer's low creditworthiness may increase the
potential for its insolvency.

These risks mean that the Fund may not achieve the expected income from lower-grade
securities, and that the Fund's net asset value per share may be affected by declines in
value of these securities. However, the Fund's limitations on investments in these types of
securities may reduce some of the risk, as will the Fund's policy of diversifying its
investments.

|X| U.S. Government Securities. These are securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Treasury or other U.S. government agencies or federally-chartered corporate entities
referred to as "instrumentalities." The obligations of U.S. government agencies or
instrumentalities in which the Fund may invest may or may not be guaranteed or supported by
the "full faith and credit" of the United States. "Full faith and credit" means generally
that the taxing power of the U.S. government is pledged to the payment of interest and
repayment of principal on a security. If a security is not backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States, the owner of the security must look principally to the agency
issuing the obligation for repayment. The owner might not be able to assert a claim against
the United States if the issuing agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitment.
The Fund will invest in securities of U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities only
if the Manager is satisfied that the credit risk with respect to such agency or
instrumentality is minimal. While U.S. government securities have little credit risk, prior
to their maturity they are subject to price fluctuations from changes in interest rates.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

|X| Foreign Securities. The Fund can purchase equity and debt securities issued by
foreign companies or foreign governments or their agencies. "Foreign securities" include
equity and debt securities of companies organized under the laws of countries other than
the United States and debt securities of foreign governments and their agencies and
instrumentalities. Those securities may be traded on foreign securities exchanges or in the
foreign over-the-counter markets.

Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American Depository Receipts or
that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter
markets are considered "foreign securities" for the purpose of the Fund's investment
allocations. That is because they are 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 a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar could result in a change in the
amount of income the Fund has available for distribution. Because a portion of the Fund's
investment income may be received in foreign currencies, the Fund will be required to
compute its income in U.S. dollars for distribution to shareholders, and therefore the Fund
will absorb the cost of currency fluctuations. After the Fund has distributed income,
subsequent foreign currency losses may result in the Fund's having distributed more income
in a particular fiscal period than was available from investment income, which could result
in a return of capital to shareholders.

Investing in foreign securities offers potential benefits not available from
investing solely in securities of domestic issuers. They include the opportunity to invest
in foreign issuers that appear to offer growth potential, or in foreign countries with
economic policies or business cycles different from those of the U.S., or to reduce
fluctuations in portfolio value by taking advantage of foreign stock markets that do not
move in a manner parallel to U.S. markets. The Fund will hold foreign currency only in
connection with the purchase or sale of foreign securities.

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

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

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, stock exchanges and brokers than in
the U.S.;
o greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;
o higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;
o increased risks of delays in settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of
certificates for portfolio securities;
o possibilities in some countries of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political,
financial or social instability or adverse diplomatic developments; and
o unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.

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

o Special Risks of Emerging Markets. Emerging and developing markets abroad may also
offer special opportunities for growth investing but have greater risks than more
developed foreign markets, such as those in Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and
Japan. There may be even less liquidity in their securities markets, and settlements of
purchases and sales of securities may be subject to additional delays. They are subject to
greater risks of limitations on the repatriation of income and profits because of currency
restrictions imposed by local governments. Those countries may also be subject to the risk
of greater political and economic instability, which can greatly affect the volatility of
prices of securities in those countries. The Manager will consider these factors when
evaluating securities in these markets. The Fund currently limits these investments to not
more than 5% of its total assets.

o 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") and under its own non-fundamental policies, 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 varying countries because some foreign countries limit, or prohibit, all direct
foreign investment in the securities of companies domiciled therein.

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

|X| Portfolio Turnover. "Portfolio turnover" describes the rate at which the Fund traded
its portfolio securities during its last fiscal year. For example, if a fund sold all of
its securities during the year, its portfolio turnover rate would have been 100% annually.
The Fund's portfolio turnover rate will fluctuate from year to year, and may be in excess
of 100% 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.

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

|X| Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund can invest in securities of small,
unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in operation for less than three
years, including the operations of any predecessors. Securities of these companies may be
subject to volatility in their prices. They may have a limited trading market, which may
adversely affect the Fund's ability to dispose of them and can reduce the price the Fund
might be able to obtain for them. Other investors that own a security issued by a small,
unseasoned issuer for which there is limited liquidity might trade the security when the
Fund is attempting to dispose of its holdings of that security. In that case the Fund might
receive a lower price for its holdings than might otherwise be obtained.

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

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

When such transactions are negotiated, the price (which is generally expressed in
yield terms) is fixed at the time the commitment is made. Delivery and payment for the
securities take place at a later date. The securities are subject to change in value from
market fluctuations during the period until settlement. The value at delivery may be less
than the purchase price. For example, changes in interest rates in a direction other than
that expected by the Manager before settlement will affect the value of such securities and
may cause a loss to the Fund. During the period between purchase and settlement, no payment
is made by the Fund to the issuer and no interest accrues to the Fund from the investment.
No income begins to accrue to the Fund on a when-issued security until the Fund receives
the security at settlement of the trade.

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

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

At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase or sell a security on a
when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, it records the transaction on its books and reflects
the value of the security purchased in determining the Fund's net asset value. In a sale
transaction, it records the proceeds to be received. The Fund will identify on its books
liquid assets at least equal in value to the value of the Fund's purchase commitments until
the Fund pays for the investment. The Fund will not enter into when-issued commitments if
more than 15% of the Fund's net assets would be committed under these transactions.

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

|X| Rights and Warrants. The Fund can invest up to 5% of its total assets in warrants and
rights. Warrants basically are options to purchase equity securities at specific prices
valid for a specific period of time. Their prices do not necessarily move parallel to the
prices of the underlying securities. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a
short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and
warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the
assets of the issuer.

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

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

The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery pursuant to the
resale typically occurs within one to five days of the purchase. Repurchase agreements
having a maturity beyond seven days are subject to the Fund's limits on holding illiquid
investments. There is no limit on the amount of the Fund's net assets that may be subject
to repurchase agreements having maturities of seven days or less.

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

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission
("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.

o Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Fund can use reverse repurchase agreements on debt
obligations it owns. Under a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells an underlying
debt obligation and simultaneously agrees to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon
price at an agreed-upon date. The Fund will identify on its books liquid assets in an
amount sufficient to cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements, including
interest, until payment is made to the seller.

These transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by
the Fund under a reverse repurchase agreement could decline below the price at which the
Fund is obligated to repurchase them. These agreements are considered borrowings by the
Fund and will be subject to the asset coverage requirement under the Fund's policy on
borrowing discussed below.

|X| Illiquid and Restricted Securities. To enable the Fund to sell its holdings of a
restricted security not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the Fund may have to
cause those securities to be registered. The expenses of registering restricted securities
may be negotiated by the Fund with the issuer at the time the Fund buys the securities.
When the Fund must arrange registration because the Fund wishes to sell the security, a
considerable period may elapse between the time the decision is made to sell the security
and the time the security is registered so that the Fund could sell it. The Fund would bear
the risks of any downward price fluctuation during that period.

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

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

|X| Participation Interests. The Fund can invest in participation interests, subject to
the Fund's limitation on investments in illiquid investments. A participation interest
is an undivided interest in a loan made by the issuing financial institution in the
proportion that the buyer's participation interest bears to the total principal amount
of the loan. No more than 5% of the Fund's net assets can be invested in participation
interests of the same borrower. The issuing financial institution may have no obligation
to the Fund other than to pay the Fund the proportionate amount of the principal and
interest payments it receives.

Participation interests are primarily dependent upon the creditworthiness of the
borrowing corporation, which is obligated to make payments of principal and interest on
the loan. There is a risk that a borrower may have difficulty making payments. If a
borrower fails to pay scheduled interest or principal payments, the Fund could
experience a reduction in its income. The value of that participation interest might
also decline, which could affect the net asset value of the Fund's shares. If the
issuing financial institution fails to perform its obligations under the participation
agreement, the Fund might incur costs and delays in realizing payment and suffer a loss
of principal and/or interest.

|X| Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund can lend its portfolio securities to certain
types of eligible borrowers approved by the Board of Trustees. It might do so to try to
provide income or to raise cash or income for liquidity purposes. These loans are
limited to not more than 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets. 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. The Fund presently does not intend to engage in loans of securities.

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 must both 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 finders, 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| Borrowing. As a fundamental policy, the Fund cannot borrow money except as a
temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes. Loans may not exceed 33 1/3%
of the value of the Fund's total assets. Additionally, as part of that fundamental
policy, the Fund will not purchase securities at times when loans exceed 5% of its total
assets.

The Fund may borrow only from banks. Under current regulatory requirements,
borrowings can be made only to the extent that the value of the Fund's assets, less its
liabilities other than borrowings, is equal to at least 300% of all borrowings (including
the proposed borrowing). If the value of the Fund's assets fails to meet this 300% asset
coverage requirement, the Fund will reduce its bank debt within three days to meet the
requirement. To do so, the Fund might have to sell a portion of its investments at a
disadvantageous time.

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

|X| Hedging. Although the Fund can use hedging instruments, it is not obligated to use
them in seeking its objective. It does not currently contemplate using them to any
significant degree. To attempt to protect against declines in the market value of the
Fund's portfolio, to permit the Fund to retain unrealized gains in the value of
portfolio securities that have appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for
investment reasons, the Fund could:
o sell futures contracts,
o buy puts on such futures or on securities, or
o write covered calls on securities or futures.

The Fund can use hedging to establish a position in the securities market as a
temporary substitute for purchasing particular securities. In that case the Fund would
normally seek to purchase the securities and then terminate that hedging position. The
Fund might also use this type of hedge to attempt to protect against the possibility
that its portfolio securities would not be fully included in a rise in value of the
market. To do so, the Fund could:
o buy futures, or
o buy calls on such futures or on securities.

The Fund's strategy of hedging with futures and options on futures will be
incidental to the Fund's activities in the underlying cash market. The particular
hedging instruments the Fund can use are described below. The Fund may employ new
hedging instruments and strategies when they are developed, if those investment methods
are consistent with the Fund's investment objective and is permissible under applicable
regulations governing the Fund.

o Futures. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to (1)
broadly-based stock indices (these are referred to as "stock index futures"), (2) foreign
currencies (these are referred to as "forward contracts"), an (3) individual stock ("single
stock futures") and (4) commodities (these are referred to as "commodity futures").

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

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

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

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

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

o Put and Call Options. The Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of put options ("puts")
and call options ("calls"). The Fund can buy and sell exchange-traded and over-the-counter
put and call options, including options on broadly-based indices, securities, foreign
currencies and stock index futures. The Trustees have adopted a non-fundamental policy that
the Fund may write covered call options or write covered put options with respect to not
more than 25% of the value of its net assets. Similarly, the Fund may purchase call or put
options only if, after the purchase, the value of all call and put options held by the Fund
will not exceed 50% of the Fund's total assets.

o Writing Covered Call Options. The Fund can write (that is, sell) covered calls. If
the Fund sells a call option, it must be covered. For options on securities, that means the
Fund must own the security subject to the call while the call is outstanding. For stock
index options, that means the call must be covered by segregating liquid assets to enable
the Fund to satisfy its obligations if the call is exercised.

When the Fund writes a call on a security, it receives cash (a premium). For calls on
securities, the Fund agrees to sell the underlying security to a purchaser of a
corresponding call on the same security during the call period at a fixed exercise price
regardless of market price changes during the call period. The call period is usually not
more than nine months. The exercise price may differ from the market price of the
underlying security. The Fund has the risk of loss that the price of the underlying
security may decline during the call period. That risk may be offset to some extent by the
premium the Fund receives. If the value of the investment does not rise above the call
price, it is likely that the call will lapse without being exercised. In that case the Fund
would keep the cash premium and the investment.

When the Fund writes a call on an index, it receives cash (a premium). If the buyer
of a call on a stock index exercises it, the Fund will pay an amount of cash equal to the
difference between the closing price of the call and the exercise price, multiplied by a
specified multiple that determines the total value of the call for each point of
difference. If the value of the underlying investment does not rise above the call price,
it is likely that the call will lapse without being exercised. In that case the Fund would
keep the cash premium.

Settlement of puts and calls on broadly-based stock indices is in cash. Gain or loss
on options on stock indices depends on changes in the index in question (and thus on price
movements in the stock market generally).

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

If the Fund writes an over-the-counter ("OTC") option, it will enter into an
arrangement with a primary U.S. Government securities dealer which will establish a formula
price at which the Fund will have the absolute right to repurchase that OTC option. The
formula price will generally be based on a multiple of the premium received for the option,
plus the amount by which the option is exercisable below the market price of the underlying
security (that is, the option is "in the money"). If the Fund writes an OTC option, it
will treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on holding illiquid securities) the
mark-to-market value of any OTC option it holds, unless the option is subject to a buy-back
agreement by the executing broker.

To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, the Fund may purchase a
corresponding call in a "closing purchase transaction." The Fund will then realize a
profit or loss, depending upon whether the net of the amount of the option transaction
costs and the premium received on the call the Fund wrote is more or less than the price of
the call the Fund purchases to close out the transaction. The Fund may realize a profit if
the call expires unexercised, because the Fund will retain the premium it received when it
wrote the call. Any such profits are considered short-term capital gains for federal
income tax purposes, as are the premiums on lapsed calls. When distributed by the Fund they
are taxable as ordinary income. If the Fund cannot effect a closing purchase transaction
due to the lack of a market, it will have to hold the escrowed assets in escrow until the
call expires or is exercised.

The Fund may also write calls on a futures contract without owning the futures
contract or securities deliverable under the contract. To do so, at the time the call is
written, the Fund must cover the call by segregating an equivalent dollar amount of liquid
assets. The Fund will segregate additional liquid assets if the value of the segregated
assets drops below 100% of the current value of the future. Because of this segregation
requirement, in no circumstances would the Fund's receipt of an exercise notice as to that
future require the Fund to deliver a futures contract. It would simply put the Fund in a
short futures position, which is permitted by the Fund's hedging policies.

o Writing Put Options. The Fund can sell put options on stock indices, foreign
currencies or stock index futures. A put option on securities gives the purchaser the right
to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying investment of the exercise
price during the option period. If the Fund writes a put, the put must be covered by liquid
assets identified on the Fund's books in an amount at least equal to the exercise price of
the underlying securities. The Fund therefore forgoes the opportunity of investing the
segregated assets or writing calls against those assets.

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

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

The Fund may decide to effect a closing purchase transaction to realize a profit on
an outstanding put option it has written or to prevent the underlying security from being
put. The Fund will realize a profit or loss from a closing purchase transaction depending
on whether the cost of the transaction is less or more than the premium received from
writing the put option. Any profits from writing puts are considered short-term capital
gains for federal tax purposes, and when distributed by the Fund, are taxable as ordinary
income.

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

In the case of a purchase of a call on a stock index, if the Fund exercises the call
during the call period, a seller of a corresponding call on the same index will pay the
Fund an amount of cash to settle the call if the closing level of the stock index upon
which the call is based is greater than the exercise price of the call. That cash payment
is equal to the difference between the closing price of the call and the exercise price of
the call times a specified multiple (the "multiplier") which determines the total dollar
value for each point of difference.

When the Fund buys a put, it pays a premium. It has the right during the put period
to require a seller of a corresponding put, upon the Fund's exercise of its put, to buy the
underlying security (in the case of puts on securities or futures) or in the case of puts
on stock indices, to deliver cash to the Fund to settle the put if the closing level of the
stock index upon which the put is based is less than the exercise price of the put. That
cash payment is determined by the multiplier, in the same manner as described above as to
calls.

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

Buying a put on an investment the Fund does not own (such as an index or future)
permits the Fund either to resell the put or to buy the underlying investment and sell it
at the exercise price. The resale price will vary inversely to the price of the underlying
investment. If the market price of the underlying investment is above the exercise price
and, as a result, the put is not exercised, the put will become worthless on its expiration
date.

When the Fund purchases a put on a stock index, the put protects the Fund to the
extent that the index moves in a similar pattern to the securities the Fund holds. The
Fund can resell the put. The resale price of the put will vary inversely with the price of
the underlying investment. If the market price of the underlying investment is above the
exercise price, and as a result the put is not exercised, the put will become worthless on
the expiration date. In the event of a decline in price of the underlying investment, the
Fund could exercise or sell the put at a profit to attempt to offset some or all of its
loss on its portfolio securities. The Fund may buy a call or put only if, after the
purchase, the value of all call and put options held by the Fund will not exceed 5% of the
Fund's total assets.

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

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

A call the Fund writes on a foreign currency is "covered" if the Fund owns the
underlying foreign currency covered by the call or has an absolute and immediate right to
acquire that foreign currency without additional cash consideration (or it can do so for
additional cash consideration identified on its books) upon conversion or exchange of other
foreign currency held in its portfolio.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets are subject to
distortions, due to differences in the nature of those markets. First, all participants in
the futures market are subject to margin deposit and maintenance requirements. Rather than
meeting additional margin deposit requirements, investors may close futures contracts
through offsetting transactions which could distort the normal relationship between the
cash and futures markets. Second, the liquidity of the futures market depends on
participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery.
To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity in the futures market
could be reduced, thus producing distortion. Third, from the point of view of speculators,
the deposit requirements in the futures market are less onerous than margin requirements in
the securities markets. Therefore, increased participation by speculators in the futures
market may cause temporary price distortions.

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

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

Under a forward contract, one party agrees to purchase, and another party agrees to
sell, a specific currency at a future date. That date may be any fixed number of days from
the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties. The transaction price is set at the
time the contract is entered into. These contracts are traded in the inter-bank market
conducted directly among currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their
customers.

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

When the Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security
denominated in a foreign currency, or when it anticipates receiving dividend payments in a
foreign currency, the Fund might desire to "lock-in" the U.S. dollar price of the security
or the U.S. dollar equivalent of the dividend payments. To do so, the Fund could enter
into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved
in the underlying transaction, in a fixed amount of U.S. dollars per unit of the foreign
currency. This is called a "transaction hedge." The transaction hedge will protect the Fund
against a loss from an adverse change in the currency exchange rates during the period
between the date on which the security is purchased or sold or on which the payment is
declared, and the date on which the payments are made or received.

The Fund could also use forward contracts to lock in the U.S. dollar value of
portfolio positions. This is called a "position hedge." When the Fund believes that
foreign currency might suffer a substantial decline against the U.S. dollar, it could enter
into a forward contract to sell an amount of that foreign currency approximating the value
of some or all of the Fund's portfolio securities denominated in that foreign currency.
When the Fund believes that the U.S. dollar might suffer a substantial decline against a
foreign currency, it could enter into a forward contract to buy that foreign currency for a
fixed dollar amount. Alternatively, the Fund could enter into a forward contract to sell a
different foreign currency for a fixed U.S. dollar amount if the Fund believes that the
U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold pursuant to its forward contract will
fall whenever there is a decline in the U.S. dollar value of the currency in which
portfolio securities of the Fund are denominated. That is referred to as a "cross hedge."

The Fund will cover its short positions in these cases by identifying on its books
liquid assets having a value equal to the aggregate amount of the Fund's commitment under
forward contracts. The Fund will not enter into forward contracts or maintain a net
exposure to such contracts if the consummation of the contracts would obligate the Fund to
deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the Fund's portfolio
securities or other assets denominated in that currency or another currency that is the
subject of the hedge. However, to avoid excess transactions and transaction costs, the Fund
may maintain a net exposure to forward contracts in excess of the value of the Fund's
portfolio securities or other assets denominated in foreign currencies if the excess amount
is "covered" by liquid securities denominated in any currency. The cover must be at least
equal at all times to the amount of that excess.

As one alternative, the Fund may purchase a call option permitting the Fund to
purchase the amount of foreign currency being hedged by a forward sale contract at a price
no higher than the forward contract price. As another alternative, the Fund may purchase a
put option permitting the Fund to sell the amount of foreign currency subject to a forward
purchase contract at a price as high or higher than the forward contact price.

The precise matching of the amounts under forward contracts and the value of the
securities involved generally will not be possible because the future value of securities
denominated in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements between
the date the forward contract is entered into and the date it is sold. In some cases, the
Manager might decide to sell the security and deliver foreign currency to settle the
original purchase obligation. If the market value of the security is less than the amount
of foreign currency the Fund is obligated to deliver, the Fund might have to purchase
additional foreign currency on the "spot" (that is, cash) market to settle the security
trade. If the market value of the security instead exceeds the amount of foreign currency
the Fund is obligated to deliver to settle the trade, the Fund might have to sell on the
spot market some of the foreign currency received upon the sale of the security. There will
be additional transaction costs on the spot market in those cases.

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

At or before the maturity of a forward contract requiring the Fund to sell a
currency, the Fund might sell a portfolio security and use the sale proceeds to make
delivery of the currency. In the alternative the Fund might retain the security and offset
its contractual obligation to deliver the currency by purchasing a second contract. Under
that contract the Fund will obtain, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the
currency that it is obligated to deliver. Similarly, the Fund might close out a forward
contract requiring it to purchase a specified currency by entering into a second contract
entitling it to sell the same amount of the same currency on the maturity date of the first
contract. The Fund would realize a gain or loss as a result of entering into such an
offsetting forward contract under either circumstance. The gain or loss will depend on the
extent to which the exchange rate or rates between the currencies involved moved between
the execution dates of the first contract and offsetting contract.

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

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

o 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. 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.

Under the Investment Company Act, when the Fund purchases a future, it must maintain
cash or readily marketable short-term debt instruments in an amount equal to the market
value of the securities underlying the future, less the margin deposit applicable to it.

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

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

Under the Internal Revenue Code, the following gains or losses are treated as
ordinary income or loss:
1. gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates that occur between the
time the Fund accrues interest or other receivables or accrues expenses or other
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time the Fund actually
collects such receivables or pays such liabilities, and
2. gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of a foreign currency
between the date of acquisition of a debt security denominated in a foreign
currency or foreign currency forward contracts and the date of disposition.

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

Investment in Other Investment Companies. The Fund can invest up to 10% of its total assets
in shares of other investment companies. It can invest up to 5% of its total assets in any
one investment company (but cannot own more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of that
company). These limits do not apply to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation,
reorganization or acquisition of another investment company.

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 Fund's 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.

|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 and the types of money market instruments described above. 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 obligations issued or guaranteed by the U. S. government or its instrumentalities or
agencies,
o commercial paper (short-term, unsecured, promissory notes of domestic or foreign
companies) rated in the top two rating categories of a nationally-recognized
rating organization,
o short-term debt obligations of corporate issuers, rated investment grade (rated at
least Baa by Moody's or at least BBB by Standard & Poor's, or a comparable rating
by another rating organization), or unrated securities judged by the Manager to
have a comparable quality to rated securities in those categories,
o certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances of domestic and foreign banks
having total assets in excess of $1 billion, 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.

Other Investment Restrictions

|X| What Are "Fundamental Policies"? Fundamental policies are those policies that the
Fund has adopted to govern its investments that can be changed only by the vote of a
"majority" of the Fund's outstanding voting securities. Under the Investment Company Act,
a "majority" vote is defined as the vote of the holders of the lesser of:
o 67% or more of the shares present or represented by proxy at a shareholder meeting,
if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or
represented by proxy, or
o more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other policies described in
the Prospectus or this 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 cannot invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in the
securities of any one issuer. This restriction applies to 75% of its total assets.

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

o The Fund cannot concentrate its investments. That means it cannot invest 25% or more
of its total assets in any industry. If deemed appropriate for attaining its investment
objective, the Fund may invest less than but up to 25% of its total assets in any one
industry classification used by the Fund for investment purposes. For this purpose, a
foreign government is considered an industry.

o The Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total
assets. The Fund may borrow only from banks and only as a temporary measure for
extraordinary or emergency purposes. The Fund will make no additional investments while
borrowings exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets. The Fund can borrow only if it maintains a
300% ratio of assets to borrowings at all times in the manner set forth in the Investment
Company Act of 1940.

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

o The Fund cannot invest in real estate or real estate limited partnerships (direct
participation programs). However, the Fund may purchase securities of issuers that engage
in real estate operations and securities which are secured by real estate or interests in
real estate.

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

o The Fund cannot invest in securities of any issuer if, to the knowledge of the Trust,
officers, directors or trustees of the Trust, or the Manager who owns more than 1/2 of 1%
of the outstanding securities of such issuer together own more than 5% of the outstanding
securities of such issuer.

o The Fund cannot pledge its assets or assign or otherwise encumber its assets in
excess of 10% of its net assets. It can pledge, assign or encumber its assets only to
secure borrowings effected within the limitations set forth in the Prospectus.

o The Fund cannot invest for the purpose of exercising control or management of another
company.

o The Fund cannot issue senior securities (as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940). However, the Fund can enter into any repurchase agreement, borrow money in
accordance with restrictions described above and lend its portfolio securities.

o The Fund cannot make loans to any person or individual. However, portfolio securities
may be loaned by the Fund within the limits set forth in the Prospectus.

|X| 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.

o The Fund cannot make short sales or purchase securities on margin. However, the Fund
can make short-term borrowings when necessary for the clearance of purchases of portfolio
securities. Collateral arrangements in connection with futures and options transactions are
not deemed to be margin transactions under this restriction.

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

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.

o With respect to the Fund's non-fundamental policy to invest, under normal
circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings used for
investment purposes) in equity securities of "small-cap" domestic and foreign issuers, the
Fund will provide shareholders at least 60 days' prior notice of any change in such policy
as required by the Investment Company Act.

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

For purposes of the Fund's policy not to concentrate its assets as described in the
Prospectus, the Fund has adopted, as a matter of non-fundamental policy, the corporate
industry classifications set forth in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional
Information. The percentage restrictions described above and in the Prospectus apply only
at the time of investment and require no action by the Fund as a result of subsequent
changes in relative values.

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

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

The 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 a Fund's non-public portfolio holdings. The receipt of investment advisory fees
or other fees and compensation paid to the Manager and their subsidiaries pursuant to
agreements approved by the Fund's Board shall not be deemed to be "compensation" or
"consideration" for these purposes. It is a violation of the Code of Ethics for any
covered person to release holdings in contravention of portfolio holdings disclosure
policies and procedures adopted by the Fund.

A list of the top 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.
The top 10 or more holdings also shall be posted on the OppenheimerFunds' website at
www.oppenheimerfunds.com in the "Fund Profiles" section. Other general information about a
Fund's portfolio investments, such as portfolio composition by asset class, industry,
country, currency, credit rating or maturity, may also be posted with a 15-day lag.

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

o The third-party recipient must first submit a request for release of Fund portfolio
holdings, explaining the business reason for the request;
o Senior officers (a Senior Vice President or above) in the 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 confidential information
that is not publicly available regarding a Fund's holdings and agreeing not to
trade directly or indirectly based on the information.

Complete Fund portfolio holdings positions may be released to the following
categories of entities or individuals on an ongoing basis, provided that such entity or
individual either (1) has signed an agreement to keep such information confidential and not
trade on the basis of such information or (2) is subject to fiduciary obligations, as a
member of the Fund's Board, or as an employee, officer and/or director of the 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 auditors,
o Members of the Fund's Board and the Board's legal counsel,
o The Fund's custodian bank,
o A proxy voting service designated by the Fund and its Board,
o Rating/ranking organizations (such as Lipper and Morningstar),
o Portfolio pricing services retained by the Manager to provide portfolio security
prices, and
o Dealers, to obtain bids (price quotations, because securities are not priced by the
Fund's regular pricing services).

Portfolio holdings information of a Fund may be provided, under limited
circumstances, to brokers and dealers or with whom the Fund trades and/or entities that
provide investment coverage and/or analytical information regarding the Fund's portfolio,
provided that there is a legitimate investment reason for providing the information to the
broker or dealer or other entity. Month-end portfolio holdings information may, under this
procedure, be provided to vendors providing research information and/or analytics to the
fund, with at least a 15-day delay after the month end, but in certain cases may be
provided to a broker or analytical vendor with a 1- 2 day lag to facilitate the provision
of requested investment information to the manager to facilitate a particular trade or the
portfolio manager's investment process for the Fund. Any third party receiving such
information must first sign the 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 a
Fund are not priced by the fund's regular pricing services)
o Dealers to obtain price quotations where the fund is not identified as the owner

Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on a Fund's entire
portfolio or individual securities therein) may be provided by senior officers of the
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-advisors of portfolios (but only pursuant to confidentiality
agreements),
o To consultants for retirement plans for plan sponsors/discussions at due diligence
meetings (if entire portfolio holdings are provided, however, it shall be done
only pursuant to a confidentiality agreement),
o Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions (but only pursuant to
confidentiality agreements)

Portfolio managers and analysts may, subject to the 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 Board on such compliance oversight and on the categories of entities and
individuals to which disclosure of portfolio holdings of the Funds has been made during the
preceding year pursuant to these policies. The CCO shall report to the Fund Board any
material violation of these policies and procedures during the previous calendar quarter
and shall make recommendations to the Companies and to the Boards as to any amendments that
the CCO believes are necessary and desirable to carry out or improve these policies and
procedures.

The 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 an open-end, diversified management investment
company. The Fund is one of three series of Oppenheimer Quest For Value Funds, an open-end
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust in April 1987
(and which is referred to as the "Trust").

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

The Fund currently has four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N.
All classes invest in the same investment portfolio. Only retirement plans may purchase
Class N shares. Each class of shares:
o has its own dividends and distributions,
o pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,
o may have a different net asset value,
o may have separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one class are
different from interests of another class, and
o votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee which is comprised solely of Independent
Trustees. The 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 met 5
times during the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. The Audit Committee provides
the Board with recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund's independent auditor.
The Audit Committee also reviews the scope and results of audits and the audit fees
charged, reviews reports from the Fund's independent auditor concerning the Fund's internal
accounting procedures, and controls, and reviews reports of the Manager's internal auditor,
-
among other duties as set forth in the Committee's charter.

The Audit Committee furnishes the Board with recommendations regarding the selection
of the Fund's independent auditor. The Audit Committee also reviews the scope and results
of audits and the audit fees charged, reviews reports from the Fund's independent auditors
concerning the Fund's internal accounting procedures and controls, and reviews reports of
the Manager's internal auditor among other duties as set forth in the Committee's charter.

The Audit Committee's functions include selecting and nominating, to the full Board,
nominees for election as Directors and selecting and nominating Independent 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 Committee has been able to identify from its own resources an ample
number of qualified candidates. Nonetheless, shareholders may submit names of individuals,
accompanies by complete and properly supported resumes, for the Audit Committee's
consideration by mailing such information to the Committee in care of the Fund. The
Committee may consider such persons at such time as it meets to consider possible
nominees. The Committee, however, reserves sole discretion to determine the candidates to
present to the Board and/or shareholders when it meets 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. The Fund's Trustees and officers and their positions held with
the Fund and length of service in such position(s) and their principal occupations and
business affiliations during the past five years are listed in the chart below. The
information for the Trustees also includes the dollar range of shares of the Fund as well
as the aggregate dollar range of shares beneficially owned in any of the Oppenheimer funds
overseen by the Trustees. All of the Trustees are also trustees or directors of the
following Oppenheimer funds (referred to as "Board III Funds"):

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

In addition to being a trustee or director of the Board III Funds, Mr. Galli is also
a director or trustee of 25 other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex. Present or
former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their immediate family members) of
the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for
their employees are permitted to purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other
Oppenheimer funds at net asset value without sales charge. The sales charge on Class A
shares is waived for that group because of the economies of sales efforts realized by the
Distributor.

Messrs. Damian, Leavy, Murphy, Petersen, Vandehey, Vottiero, Wixted and Zack and
Messes. Bloomberg, and Ives, who are officers of the Fund, respectively hold the same
offices of one or more of the other Board III Funds as with the Fund. As of January 31,
2004, the Trustees and Officers of the Fund, as a group, owned of record or beneficially
less than 1% of each class of shares of the Fund. The foregoing statement does not reflect
ownership of shares of the Fund held of record by an employee benefit plan for employees of
the Manager, other than the shares beneficially owned under the plan by the officers of the
Fund listed above. In addition, each Independent Trustee, and his or her family members, do
not own securities of either the Manager or Distributor of the Board III Funds or any
person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the
Manager or Distributor.

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

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

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

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

|X| Major Shareholders. As of February 2, 2005, the only persons who owned of record or

|X| 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

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

o The Fund votes with the recommendation of the issuer's management on routine matters,
including election of directors nominated by management and ratification of
auditors, unless circumstances indicate otherwise.
o In general, the Fund opposes anti-takeover proposals and supports elimination of
anti-takeover proposals, absent unusual circumstances.
o The Fund supports shareholder proposals to reduce a super-majority vote requirement,
and opposes management proposals to add a super-majority vote requirement.
o The Fund opposes proposals to classify the board of directors.
o The Fund supports proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.
o The Fund opposes re-pricing of stock options.
o The Fund generally considers executive compensation questions such as stock option
plans and bonus plans to be ordinary business activity. The Fund analyzes stock
option plans, paying particular attention to their dilutive effect. While the
Fund generally supports management proposals, the Fund opposes plans it
considers to be excessive.

The Fund 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.
-----------

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

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

The Fund pays expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the advisory
agreement. Expenses for the Trust's three series are allocated to the series in proportion
to their net assets, unless allocations of expenses can be made directly to a series. The
advisory agreement lists examples of expenses paid by the Fund. The major categories relate
to calculation of the Fund's net asset values per share, interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, fees to 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:

The investment advisory agreement states that in the absence of willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties or reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager is not liable
for any loss resulting from a good faith error or omission on its part with respect to any
of its duties under the agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

After careful deliberation, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded
that it was in the best interest of shareholders to continue the investment advisory
agreement for another year. In arriving at a decision, the Board did not single out any one
factor or group of factors as being more important than other factors, but considered all
factors together. The Board judged the terms and conditions of the investment advisory
agreement, including the investment advisory fee, in light of all of the surrounding
circumstances.

Brokerage Policies of the Fund

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

Under the investment advisory agreement, 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 concession 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 advisor cannot use the fund's brokerage for the purpose of rewarding
broker-dealers for selling the fund's shares.

However, the Rule permits funds to effect brokerage transactions through firms that also
sell fund shares, provided that certain procedures are adopted to prevent a quid pro quo
with respect to portfolio brokerage allocations. As permitted by the Rule, the Manager has
adopted procedures (and the Fund's Board of 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
manager 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.

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

The investment advisory agreement permits 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 Trust, 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

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

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

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

Unless a plan is terminated as described below, the plan continues in effect from
year to year but only if the Fund's Board of 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 the plan that would materially increase
payments under the plan. That approval must be by a majority of the shares of each class,
voting separately by class.

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

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

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

|X| Class A Service Plan Fees and Distribution 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 quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average
annual net assets consisting of Class A shares held in the accounts of the recipients or
their customers.

Under the Class A distribution plan, the plan provides for the Fund to pay an
asset-based sales charge to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average annual
net assets of Class A shares of the Fund (the Board has set that rate at zero).

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

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 payments under the Class A plan totaled
$1,072,829, of which $61,900 was paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's parent company.
In addition, $22,011 was retained for the asset-based sales charge, as allowed under the
plan prior to January 1, 2003. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with
respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years. The
Distributor may not use payments received under the Class A plan to pay any of its interest
expenses, carrying charges, or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Performance of the Fund

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

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

Use of standardized performance calculations enables an investor to compare the
Fund's performance to the performance of other funds for the same periods. However, a
number of factors should be considered before using the Fund's performance information as a
basis for comparison with other investments:
o Total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account in the Fund over
various periods and do not show the performance of each shareholder's account.
Your account's performance will vary from the model performance data if your
dividends are received in cash, or you buy or sell shares during the period, or
you bought your shares at a different time and price than the shares used in the
model.
o The Fund's performance returns do not reflect the effect of taxes on dividends and
capital gains distributions.
o An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.
o The principal value of the Fund's shares, and total returns are not guaranteed and
normally will fluctuate on a daily basis.
o When an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their
original cost.
o Total returns for any given past period represent historical performance information
and are not, and should not be considered, a prediction of future returns.

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

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

In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current maximum sales charge
of 5.75% (as a percentage of the offering price) is deducted from the initial investment
("P" in the formula below) (unless the return is shown without sales charge, as described
below). For Class B shares, payment of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge is
applied, depending on the period for which the return is shown: 5.0% in the first year,
4.0% in the second year, 3.0% in the third and fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0%
in the sixth year and none thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred
sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year period. For Class N shares, the 1.0%
contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year period, and total
returns for the periods prior to 03/01/01 (the inception date for Class N shares) 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 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 include rated among small blend funds.

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

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

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

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

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

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

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

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

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

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

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

Oppenheimer AMT-Free Municipals Oppenheimer Limited Term Municipal Fund
Oppenheimer AMT-Free New York Municipals Oppenheimer Main Street Fund
Oppenheimer Balanced Fund Oppenheimer Main Street Opportunity Fund

And the following money market funds:

Centennial Government Trust

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

Letters of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent ("Letter"), you can reduce the sales charge
rate that applies to your purchases of Class A shares if you purchase Class A, Class B or
(effective March 18, 2005) 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 (effective
March 18, 2005) 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 made up to
90 days before the date of the Letter. Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund,
Inc. and Oppenheimer Cash Reserves fund on which you did not pay 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 (effective March 18, 2005)
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, when added to the investor's holdings of
shares of those funds, will equal or exceed the amount specified in the Letter. Purchases
made by reinvestment of dividends or 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 shares of other Oppenheimer funds acquired subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge, and
(c) Class A or Class B shares acquired by exchange of either (1) Class A shares of one of
the other Oppenheimer funds that were acquired subject to a Class A initial or
contingent deferred sales charge or (2) Class B shares of one of the other
Oppenheimer funds that were acquired subject to a contingent deferred sales
charge.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

|X| Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the description of the types of
retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares contained in the prospectus, Class N
shares also are offered to the following:
o to all rollover IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs),
o to all rollover contributions made to Individual 401(k) plans, Profit-Sharing Plans
and Money Purchase Pension Plans,
o to all direct rollovers from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle and Ascender
retirement plans,
o to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,
o to all 90-24 type 403(b) transfers,
o to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix C to this Statement of Additional
Information) which have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor
for that purpose,
o to Retirement Plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code, the recordkeeper or the plan sponsor for which has entered into a special
agreement with the Distributor,
o to Retirement Plans of a plan sponsor where the aggregate assets of all such plans
invested in the Oppenheimer funds is $500,000 or more,
o to OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Ascender 401(k) plans that pay for the purchase with
the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds, and
o to certain customers of broker-dealers and financial advisors that are identified in
a special agreement between the broker-dealer or financial advisor and the
Distributor for that purpose.

The sales concession and the advance of the service fee, as described in the
Prospectus, will not be paid to dealers of record on sales of Class N shares on:
purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan
that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of
one or more Oppenheimer funds (other than rollovers from an
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested
in the Oppenheimer funds),
purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan
that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C shares of
one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan for more than one year (other
than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k)
plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds), and
on purchases of Class N shares by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or
Ascender 401(k) plan made with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one
or more Oppenheimer funds.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Center on our website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com or call 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 Exchange on each
day that the Exchange is open. The calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund's
net assets attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are
outstanding. The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, but may close earlier
on some other days (for example, in case of weather emergencies or on days falling before a
U.S. holiday). All references to time in this Statement of Additional Information mean
"Eastern time." The Exchange's most recent annual announcement (which is subject to change)
states that it will close on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day,
Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
It may also close on other days.

Dealers other than Exchange members may conduct trading in certain securities on days
on which the Exchange is closed (including weekends and holidays) or after 4:00 P.M. on a
regular business day. Because the Fund's net asset values will not be calculated on those
days, the Fund's net asset values per share may be significantly affected on such days when
shareholders may not purchase or redeem shares. Additionally, trading on European and Asian
stock exchanges and over-the-counter markets normally is completed before the close of the
Exchange.

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

|X| Securities Valuation. The Fund's Board of Trustees has established procedures
for the valuation of the Fund's securities. In general those procedures are as follows:
o Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or on Nasdaq(R)are valued as
follows:
(1) if last sale information is regularly reported, they are valued at the last reported
sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded or on Nasdaq(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 London foreign exchange market on a particular business day
that are provided to the Manager by a bank, dealer or pricing service that the Manager has
determined to be reliable are used to value foreign currency, including forward contracts,
and to convert to U.S. dollars securities that are denominated in foreign currency.

Puts, calls, and futures are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange
on which they are traded or on Nasdaq(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 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 $500 or such lesser amount as the Board may fix. The Board
will not cause the involuntary redemption of shares in an account if the aggregate net
asset value of such shares has fallen below the stated minimum solely as a result of market
fluctuations. If the Board exercises this right, it may also fix the requirements for any
notice to be given to the shareholders in question (not less than 30 days). The Board may
alternatively set requirements for the shareholder to increase the investment, or set other
terms and conditions so that the shares would not be involuntarily redeemed.

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

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

Distributions From Retirement Plans. Requests for distributions from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial plans, 401(k)
plans or pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to "Trustee, OppenheimerFunds
Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its address listed in "How To Sell Shares" in
the Prospectus or on the back cover of this Statement of Additional Information. The
request must:
(1) state the reason for the distribution;
(2) state the owner's awareness of tax penalties if the distribution is premature; and
(3) conform to the requirements of the plan and the Fund's other redemption requirements.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

The following funds only offer Class A shares:

o Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. only offers Class A and Class Y shares.
o Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be exchanged for shares of any
other fund.
o Class B, Class C and Class N shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves are generally
available only by exchange from the same class of shares of other Oppenheimer funds
or through OppenheimerFunds-sponsored 401(k) plans.
o Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund may be exchanged only for
Class A shares of other Oppenheimer funds. They may not be acquired by exchange of
shares of any class of any other Oppenheimer funds except Class A shares of
Oppenheimer Money Market Fund or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves acquired by exchange of
Class M shares.
o Class 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 (2/4/2011).
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 (12/6/2011).

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

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

o When Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund (other than Rochester National Municipals
and Rochester Fund Municipals) acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer
fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within 18
months measured from the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the
exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the
redeemed shares.

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

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

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

o With respect to Class B shares except for the funds listed in the next item
immediately below, the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B
shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within six years of the initial purchase
of the exchanged Class B shares.

o With respect to Class B shares of Limited-Term Government Fund, Limited Term
Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund, Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund
and Cash Reserves that were initially purchased as shares of Oppenheimer Capital
Preservation Fund, the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B
shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 5 years of the initial purchase of
the exchanged Class B shares.

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

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

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

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

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

|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 Y
shares. That is because of the effect of the asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C
and Class N shares. Those dividends will also differ in amount as a consequence of any
difference in the net asset values of the different classes of shares.

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

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

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

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.

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. All income and any tax withheld (in this situation)
by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and is identified in reports
mailed to shareholders in January of each year 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 (other than Oppenheimer Cash Reserves) may be invested in
shares of this Fund on the same basis.

Additional Information About the Fund

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

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

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

Independent Auditors. KPMG LLP 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 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.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF OPPENHEIMER QUEST FOR VALUE FUNDS:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Oppenheimer Small Cap Value Fund, (one of the portfolios constituting the
Oppenheimer Quest For Value Funds) including the statement of investments, as of
October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in
the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with
the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where
replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Oppenheimer Small Cap Value Fund as of October 31, 2004, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of
the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Oppenheimer Small Cap Value Fund (the Fund), a series of Oppenheimer Quest For
Value Funds, is an open-end management investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective is
to seek capital appreciation. The Fund's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds,
Inc. (the Manager).

      The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares. Class A
shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus
a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are sold without a
front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
(CDSC). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans
that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of
shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in
general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone.
Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class
having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees
and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B,
C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. Class B shares will
automatically convert to Class A shares six years after the date of purchase.
The Fund assesses a 2% fee on the proceeds of fund shares that are redeemed
(either by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer fund) within 30 days of
their purchase. The fee, which is retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an
addition to paid-in capital.

      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

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

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

remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (which
approximates market value).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The Fund's accounting records are maintained in
U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars 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. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and
investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the
respective dates of such transactions. Foreign exchange rates may be valued
primarily using dealer supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service
authorized by the Board of Trustees.

      Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of
foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and
settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the
amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the
Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or
paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the
values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal
period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

      The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is
separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market
values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and
losses in the Fund's Statement of Operations.

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


                      32 | OPPENHEIMER SMALL CAP VALUE FUND

not offset by capital loss carry forwards, 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. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, the Fund did not utilize any
capital loss carryforward.

2. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, the Fund utilized $18,203,203
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 October 31, 2004. Net assets of the
Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for the
Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees
paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the year ended October
31, 2004, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased by $11,181 and
payments of $745 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an accumulated
liability of $42,574 as of October 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 and 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. 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 Custodian Expenses line item, if applicable, represents earnings on
cash balances maintained by the


                      34 | OPPENHEIMER SMALL CAP VALUE FUND

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.

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.01 par value shares of
beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other
than short-term obligations, for the year ended October 31, 2004, were
$1,333,539,394 and $1,185,208,883, respectively.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. Effective January 1, 2004, the
agreement provides for a fee at an annual rate of 0.80% of the first $400
million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.75% of the next $400 million
and 0.60% of average annual net assets in excess of $800 million. Prior to
January 1, 2004 the annual advisory fee was: 0.85% of the first $400 million of
average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.75% of the next $400 million and 0.60%
of average annual net assets in excess of $800 million.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 October 31, 2004, the Fund paid
$2,118,544 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. Under the Plan, the Fund pays a service fee to the Distributor of up to
0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A shares. The Distributor
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. Under the Plan, the
Fund may also pay an asset-based sales charge to the Distributor. Beginning
January 1, 2003, the Board of Trustees set the annual asset-based sales charge
rate at zero. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the
Statement of Operations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS FOR CLASS B, CLASS C AND CLASS N SHARES. The Fund
has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C 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. The Distributor
also receives a service fee of up to 0.25% per year under each plan. If either
the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the
shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must


                      36 | OPPENHEIMER SMALL CAP VALUE FUND

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 October 31,
2004 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $2,005,361, $1,355,190 and
$344,483, 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 $21,870, 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 October 31, 2004, OFS waived $8,455 for Class N shares.
This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign
currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into foreign
currency contracts to settle specific purchases or sales of securities
denominated in a foreign currency and for protection from adverse exchange rate
fluctuation. Risks to the Fund include the potential inability of the
counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.

      The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual
commitments held by the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or
depreciation are determined using prevailing foreign currency exchange rates.
Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on foreign currency contracts are
reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable
and in the Statement of Operations with the change in unrealized appreciation or
depreciation.

5. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS Continued

      The Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the
foreign transaction. Contracts closed or settled with the same broker are
recorded as net realized gains or losses. Such realized gains and losses are
reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of
Operations.

      As of October 31, 2004, the Fund had no outstanding foreign currency
contracts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. LITIGATION

Six complaints have been filed as putative derivative and class actions against
the Manager, OFS and the Distributor (collectively, "OppenheimerFunds"), as well
as 51 of the Oppenheimer funds (collectively, the "Funds") including this Fund,
and nine Directors/Trustees of certain of the Funds other than this Fund
(collectively, the "Directors/Trustees"). The complaints allege that the Manager
charged excessive fees for distribution and other costs, improperly used assets
of the Funds in the form of directed brokerage commissions and 12b-1 fees to pay
brokers to promote sales of the Funds, and failed to properly disclose the use
of Fund assets to make those payments in violation of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The complaints further allege
that by permitting and/or participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees
breached their fiduciary duties to Fund shareholders under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and at common law. By order dated October 27, 2004, these
six actions, and future related actions, were consolidated by the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York into a single consolidated
proceeding in contemplation of the filing of a superseding consolidated and
amended complaint.

      OppenheimerFunds believes that it is premature to render any opinion as to
the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to them, the Funds or the
Directors/Trustees and that no estimate can yet be made with any degree of
certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss. However,
OppenheimerFunds, the Funds and the Directors/Trustees believe that the
allegations contained in the complaints are without merit and intend to defend
these lawsuits vigorously.

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 shares2 of
the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge that may apply to Class A,
Class B or Class C shares may be waived.3 That is because of the economies of sales
efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this document as
the "Distributor"), or by dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares
to certain classes of investors.

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

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus and Statement
of Additional Information of the applicable Oppenheimer funds, the term "Retirement Plan"
refers to the following types of plans:
1) plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,
2) non-qualified deferred compensation plans,
3) employee benefit plans4
4) Group Retirement Plans5
5) 403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
6) Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs,
SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

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

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

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

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

There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any of the
Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases may be subject to the
Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within 18 months (24 months in the
case of 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 $3 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money
market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.
3) The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service agreement
with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan sponsor signs that agreement, the
Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as determined by the Merrill Lynch
plan conversion manager).

of Class A shares at net asset value without a Class A initial sales charge, but subject to
the Class A contingent deferred sales charge that was in effect prior to March 18, 1996

Connecticut Mutual Funds to purchase shares valued at $500,000 or more over a

value pursuant to this arrangement they will be subject to the prior Class A CDSC.

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.
