ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

     WHAT ARE THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES?  The Fund's primary objective is
to seek a high level of current  income by investing in a diversified  portfolio
of high-yield,  lower-rated,  fixed-income securities that the Fund's investment
manager,  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc. (the "Manager"), believes do not involve undue
risk. The Fund's  secondary  objective is to seek capital growth when consistent
with its primary objective.

     WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY  INVEST IN? The Fund invests  mainly in a variety
of high-yield  fixed-income  debt securities of domestic and foreign issuers for
high current income. These securities primarily include: o Lower-grade bonds and
notes of  corporate  issuers.  o  Foreign  corporate  and  government  bonds.  o
"Structured" notes.

     Under normal market conditions,  the Fund invests at least 60% of its total
assets in high-yield,  lower-grade,  fixed-income  securities,  commonly  called
"junk bonds." Lower-grade debt securities are those rated below "Baa" by Moody's
Investors  Service  ("Moody's")  or lower than "BBB" by  Standard  &  Poor's
Rating Services ("S&P") or comparable ratings by other nationally-recognized
rating  organizations (or, in the case of unrated securities,  determined by the
Manager to be  comparable  to  securities  rated below  investment  grade).  See
Appendix A to the Statement of Additional  Information  for a description of the
bond ratings.

     The  remainder of the Fund's  assets may be held in other debt  securities,
cash or cash  equivalents,  in rights or warrants,  or invested in common stocks
and other equity  securities when the Manager believes those are consistent with
the  Fund's  objectives.   Investments  in  high-yield   securities  and  equity
securities  may provide  opportunities  for capital  growth while also providing
income to the Fund.

     The  Fund's  foreign  investments  currently  focus on debt  securities  of
issuers in developed markets. The Fund also uses certain derivative investments,
primarily  "structured  notes,"  to try to  enhance  income  or to try to manage
investment  risks.  These  investments  are more fully  explained  in "About the
Fund's Investments," below.

     HOW DO THE  PORTFOLIO  MANAGERS  DECIDE WHAT  SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? In
selecting  securities for the Fund, the Fund's  portfolio  managers  analyze the
overall  investment   opportunities  and  risks  in  different  market  sectors,
industries and countries. The overall strategy is to build a broadly diversified
portfolio of debt  securities to help moderate the special risks of investing in
high-yield debt instruments.  The portfolio managers currently use a "bottom up"
approach,   focusing  on  the  performance  of  individual   securities   before
considering  industry  trends.  They evaluate an issuer's  liquidity,  financial
strength and earnings  power and also consider the factors below (which may vary
in  particular  cases and may change over time),  looking  for:
     o Changes in the business  cycle that might  affect  corporate  profits,  o
Corporate   sectors  that  in  the  portfolio   managers'  views  are  currently
undervalued in the marketplace,

     o Issuers with  earnings  growth rates that are faster than the growth rate
of the overall economy,

     o Securities or sectors that will help the overall  diversification  of the
portfolio, and

     o Issuers with  improvements  in relative  cash flows and liquidity to help
them meet their obligations.

     The portfolio  managers monitor changes in the factors listed above and any
changes in those factors may trigger a decision to sell a security.

     WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed  primarily for investors
seeking  high  current  income from a fund that  invests  mainly in  lower-grade
domestic and foreign  fixed-income  debt  securities.  Those investors should be
willing to assume the greater risks of short-term share price  fluctuations that
are typical for a fund that invests  mainly in  high-yield  domestic and foreign
fixed-income  debt securities,  which also have special credit risks.  Since the
Fund's income level will fluctuate,  it is not designed for investors needing an
assured  level  of  current  income.  The  Fund is  intended  to be a  long-term
investment and may be appropriate as a part of a retirement plan portfolio.  The
Fund is not a complete investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

     All  investments  have risks to some  degree.  The Fund's  investments  are
subject to changes in their  value from a number of  factors,  described  below.
There is also the risk that poor  security  selection  by the Manager will cause
the Fund to underperform other funds having similar objectives.

     CREDIT RISK. Debt securities are subject to credit risk. Credit risk is the
risk  that the  issuer  of a  security  might not make  interest  and  principal
payments  on the  security  as they  become  due.  If the  issuer  fails  to pay
interest,  the Fund's income might be reduced,  and if the issuer fails to repay
principal, the value of that security and of the Fund's shares might be reduced.
High-yield,  lower-grade  debt  securities  are  especially  subject to risks of
default. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse news about an
issuer can reduce a security's market value.

     Special  Risks of  Lower-Grade  Securities.  Because  the  Fund can  invest
without  limit in securities  below  investment  grade to seek high income,  the
Fund's   credit   risks  are   greater   than  those  of  funds  that  buy  only
investment-grade  securities.  Lower-grade  debt  securities  may be  subject to
greater  market  fluctuations  and greater risks of loss of income and principal
than investment-grade debt securities. Securities that are (or that have fallen)
below  investment  grade are exposed to a greater risk that the issuers of those
securities  might not meet their debt  obligations.  These  risks can reduce the
Fund's share prices and the income it earns.

     While  investment-grade  securities  are subject to risks of non-payment of
interest and principal,  generally,  higher yielding  lower-grade bonds, whether
rated or unrated,  have  greater  risks than  investment-grade  securities.  The
market for lower-grade securities may be less liquid, especially during times of
general economic distress, and therefore they may be harder to value and to sell
at an acceptable price.

     INTEREST RATE RISKS.  The values of debt  securities  are subject to change
when prevailing  interest rates change.  When interest rates fall, the values of
already-issued  debt  securities  generally  rise. When interest rates rise, the
values of already-issued debt securities  generally fall, and they may sell at a
discount from their face amount.  The magnitude of these fluctuations will often
be  greater  for  longer-term  debt  securities  than  for   shorter-term   debt
securities, and at times the Fund's average portfolio maturity may be relatively
long-term.  The Fund's share prices can go up or down when interest rates change
because of the effect of the changes on the value of the Fund's  investments  in
debt  securities.  Also, if interest rates fall,  the Fund's  investments in new
securities at lower yields will reduce the Fund's income.

     RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. The Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in
foreign  securities.  It can buy securities of governments and companies in both
developed  markets and emerging  markets.  The Fund currently does not intend to
invest  more than 25% of its net  assets in  foreign  securities  but may invest
significant amounts of its assets in those securities.  While foreign securities
offer special investment  opportunities,  they are subject to special risks that
can reduce the Fund's share prices and returns.

     The change in value of a foreign  currency  against  the U.S.  dollar  will
affect the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency.
Currency rate changes can also affect the  distributions the Fund makes from the
income it receives  from foreign  securities.  Foreign  investing  can result in
higher  transaction  and operating  costs for the Fund.  Foreign issuers are not
subject to the same accounting and disclosure  requirements that U.S.  companies
are  subject  to. The value of foreign  investments  may be affected by exchange
control  regulations,  expropriation or  nationalization  of a company's assets,
foreign taxes,  delays in settlement of  transactions,  changes in  governmental
economic  or  monetary  policy in the U.S.  or abroad,  or other  political  and
economic factors.

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

     RISKS OF  DERIVATIVE  INVESTMENTS.  The Fund  can use  derivatives  to seek
increased  income or to try to hedge  investment  and  interest  rate risks.  In
general  terms,  a derivative  investment is an investment  contract whose value
depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying asset,  interest rate
or  index.  Options,   futures,  interest  rate  swaps,  structured  notes,  and
mortgage-related securities are examples of derivatives the Fund can use.

     If the issuer of the  derivative  does not pay the amount due, the Fund can
lose money on the  investment.  Also, the  underlying  security or investment on
which the derivative is based, and the derivative itself,  might not perform the
way the Manager expected it to perform. If that happens, the Fund's share prices
could  decline and the Fund could receive less income than expected or its hedge
might be unsuccessful.  Some derivatives may be illiquid, making it difficult to
sell  them at an  acceptable  price.  The  Fund  has  limits  on the  amount  of
particular  types of derivatives it can hold.  However,  using  derivatives  can
cause the Fund to lose money on its investment and/or increase the volatility of
its share prices.

     HOW RISKY IS THE FUND OVERALL?  The risks described above collectively form
the  overall  risk  profile  of the Fund and can  affect the value of the Fund's
investments,  its investment  performance and prices of its shares.  These risks
mean that you can lose money by  investing  in the Fund.  When you  redeem  your
shares,  they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. There is no
assurance that the Fund will achieve its objectives.

     In the short term, the values of high-yield  debt  securities can fluctuate
substantially  because  of  interest  rate  changes  and  perceptions  about the
high-yield market among investors.  Foreign debt securities can be volatile, and
the price of the  Fund's  shares  can go up and down  substantially  because  of
events affecting foreign markets or issuers.  Defaults by issuers of lower-grade
securities could reduce the Fund's income and share prices.

     Debt  securities  are  subject to credit and  interest  rate risks that can
affect their values and the share  prices of the Fund.  In the  OppenheimerFunds
spectrum,  the Fund is likely to be more  volatile and has more risks than funds
that focus on  investing  in U.S.  government  securities  and  investment-grade
bonds.


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


The Fund's Past Performance

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

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

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

     Sales charges and taxes are not included in the  calculations  of return in
this bar chart, and if those charges and taxes were included, the returns may be
less than those shown.

     For the period from January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006,  the  cumulative
return (not annualized) before taxes for Class A shares was 2.15%.

     During  the  period  shown  in the  bar  chart,  the  highest  return  (not
annualized)  before  taxes for a calendar  quarter  was 9.31%  (2Qtr03)  and the
lowest return (not  annualized)  before taxes for a calendar  quarter was -6.46%
(3Qtr98).

     The Fund's average annual total returns include  applicable  sales charges:
for Class A, the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%; for Class B, the
contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year); and for Class C
and Class N, the 1%  contingent  deferred  sales  charge for the 1-year  period.
Class Y shares,  which do not have a sales charge, were not offered to investors
prior to September 1, 2006.  Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72
months after purchase, Class B "life-of-class"  performance does not include any
contingent  deferred  sales charge and uses Class A  performance  for the period
after conversion.  The returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account
and  assume  that all  dividends  and  capital  gains  distributions  have  been
reinvested  in  additional  shares.  The  performance  of the  Fund's  shares is
compared to the Merrill  Lynch High Yield Master  Index,  an unmanaged  index of
below-investment grade debt securities of U.S. corporate issuers, and the Lehman
Brothers  Credit  Index,  an  index  of  non-convertible  U.S.  investment-grade
corporate bonds. The indices'  performance  includes  reinvestment of income but
does not  reflect  transaction  costs,  fees,  expenses  or  taxes.  The  Fund's
investments vary from those in the indices.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

     The  following  tables are  provided  to help you  understand  the fees and
expenses  you may pay if you buy and hold  shares of the  Fund.  The Fund pays a
variety of expenses  directly  for  management  of its  assets,  administration,
distribution  of its shares and other  services.  Those  expenses are subtracted
from the Fund's assets to calculate  the Fund's net asset values per share.  All
shareholders  therefore pay those expenses  indirectly.  Shareholders  pay other
transaction  expenses  directly,  such as sales  charges.  The numbers below are
based on the Fund's  expenses  during its fiscal year ended  September 30, 2005,
except  for  Class Y  expenses,  which are based on  projections  of what  those
expenses will be during the first year Class Y shares are offered..

     Expenses may vary in future years.  "Other Expenses" include transfer agent
fees,  custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays. The
"Other  Expenses"  in the table are based on, among other  things,  the fees the
Fund would have paid if the  transfer  agent had not waived a portion of its fee
under a  voluntary  undertaking  to the  Fund to  limit  these  fees to 0.35% of
average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes.  That  undertaking may
be  amended or  withdrawn  at any time.  After the  waiver,  the  actual  "Other
Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating  Expenses" as percentages of average daily
net  assets  were 0.38% and 1.48%,  respectively,  for Class N shares.  Class A,
Class B and Class C were the same as shown  above.  For Class Y shares,  "Annual
Fund  Operating  Expenses" are estimated  based on the Manager's  projections of
what those  expenses  will be for the Fund's Class Y shares for the first fiscal
year on assets of $4,500,000.

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

     2. Applies to  redemptions  in first year after  purchase.  The  contingent
deferred sales charge  declines to 1% in the sixth year and is eliminated  after
that.

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

     4. Applies to shares redeemed within 18 months of a retirement plan's first
purchase of Class N shares.  5. The  redemption  fee applies to the  proceeds of
Fund  shares  that are  redeemed  (either by selling  or  exchanging  to another
Oppenheimer fund) within 30 days of their purchase. See "How to Sell Shares" for
more information on when the redemption fee will apply.

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

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


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

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first example,  expenses include the initial sales charge for Class A and
the applicable  Class B, Class C and Class N contingent  deferred sales charges.
In the second example,  the Class A expenses include the sales charge, but Class
B,  Class C and  Class N  expenses  do not  include  contingent  deferred  sales
charges. There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.

     1.  Class B  expenses  for years 7 through 10 are based on Class A expenses
since  Class B shares  automatically  convert to Class A shares 72 months  after
purchase.

About the Fund's Investments

     THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL  INVESTMENT  POLICIES AND RISKS. The allocation of the
Fund's  portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time based
upon the Manager's  evaluation  of economic and market  trends.  However,  under
normal  market  conditions,  the  Fund  emphasizes  investments  in  high-yield,
lower-grade,  fixed-income  securities.  The Fund has no  requirements as to the
range  of  maturities  of the  debt  securities  it can buy or as to the  market
capitalization of the issuers of those securities.


     What Is A "Debt"  Security?  A debt  security is  essentially a loan by the
buyer to the issuer of the debt  security.  The issuer  promises to pay back the
principal amount of the loan and normally pays interest,  at a fixed or variable
rate, on the debt while it is outstanding.

     The Manager  does not rely solely on ratings of debt  securities  by rating
organizations when selecting  investments for the Fund. The Fund can buy unrated
securities.  The  Manager  assigns  a  rating  to an  unrated  security  that is
equivalent to what the Manager believes are comparable rated securities.

     The Fund can invest some of its assets in other  types of debt  securities,
as well as common  stocks  and  other  equity  securities  of  foreign  and U.S.
companies when consistent with the Fund's goals.  The Fund's portfolio might not
always include all of the different types of investments  described  below.  The
Statement of Additional Information contains more detailed information about the
Fund's investment policies and risks.

     The  Manager  tries to reduce  risks by  carefully  researching  securities
before they are  purchased.  The Fund  attempts to reduce its exposure to market
risks by  diversifying  its  investments,  that is, by not holding a substantial
amount  of  securities  of any  one  issuer  and by not  investing  too  great a
percentage  of the  Fund's  assets in any one  issuer.  Also,  the Fund does not
concentrate  25% or more of its total assets in the securities of issuers in any
one industry or the securities of any one foreign government.

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

     HIGH-YIELD, LOWER-GRADE DEBT SECURITIES. Under normal market conditions the
Fund  invests  at least 60% of its  total  assets  in  high-yield,  lower-grade,
fixed-income   securities  of  U.S.  and  foreign   issuers,   including  bonds,
debentures, notes, preferred stocks, loan participation interests and structured
notes, and asset-backed  securities,  among others, to seek high current income.
There are no limits on the amount of the Fund's  assets  that can be invested in
debt securities rated below investment grade.

     The Fund can invest in  securities  rated as low as "C" or "D" or which may
be in default at the time the Fund buys them.  While  securities  rated "Baa" by
Moody's or "BBB" by S&P are  considered  "investment  grade," they have some
speculative characteristics.

     To the  extent  that a fund  invests  significantly  in high  yield  bonds,
because those securities may be traded infrequently, investors may seek to trade
fund shares  based on their  knowledge  or  understanding  of the value of those
types of  securities  (this is  sometimes  referred  to as  "price  arbitrage").
Certain Oppenheimer funds,  including the Fund, that invest a significant amount
of their  assets in high  yield  bonds  impose a 2%  redemption  fee in  certain
circumstances to attempt to deter such price arbitrage. Such price arbitrage, if
otherwise successful,  might interfere with the efficient management of a fund's
portfolio  to a greater  degree  than would be the case for funds that invest in
more liquid  securities,  because  the fund may have  difficulty  selling  those
securities at advantageous times or prices to satisfy the liquidity requirements
created by large and/or frequent  trading  activity.  Successful price arbitrage
activities   might  also   dilute  the  value  of  fund  shares  held  by  other
shareholders.

     FOREIGN SECURITIES. The Fund can buy a variety of debt securities issued by
foreign governments and companies, as well as "supra-national" entities, such as
the World Bank. They include bonds,  debentures and notes,  including derivative
investments.

     Special Risks of Emerging Markets.  The Fund can buy securities in emerging
and developing  markets.  They may offer special  investment  opportunities  but
investments in these  countries  present risks not found in more mature markets.
Those  securities  might be more  difficult to sell at an  acceptable  price and
their prices may be more volatile than  securities of issuers in more  developed
markets. Settlements of trades may be subject to greater delays so that the Fund
may not receive the proceeds of a sale of a security on a timely basis.

     DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS.  The Fund can invest in a number of different kinds
of "derivative"  investments.  Options, futures, interest rate swaps, structured
notes, and mortgage-related securities are "derivative investments" the Fund can
use. In addition to using some derivatives to hedge  investment  risks, the Fund
can use other  derivative  investments  because  they  offer the  potential  for
increased  income and principal value.  Some derivative  investments held by the
Fund may be illiquid.

     "Structured  Notes."  The  Fund  can  buy  "structured"  notes,  which  are
specially-designed debt investments with principal payments or interest payments
that are  linked  to the value of an index  (such as a  currency  or  securities
index) or commodity.  The terms of the  instrument  may be  "structured"  by the
purchaser (the Fund) and the borrower issuing the note.

     The values of these  notes will fall or rise in  response to the changes in
the values of the underlying  security or index. They are subject to both credit
and interest  rate risks and  therefore the Fund could receive more or less than
it  originally  invested when the notes mature or it might receive less interest
than the stated coupon  payment if the  underlying  investment or index does not
perform as  anticipated.  Their values may be very  volatile and they may have a
limited trading market,  making it difficult for the Fund to sell its investment
at an acceptable price.

     Investments  By "Funds of Funds." Class Y shares of the Fund are offered as
an investment to certain other  Oppenheimer  funds that act as "funds of funds."
The Fund's Board of Trustees has approved making the Fund's shares  available as
an  investment  for those  funds.  Those  funds of funds may invest  significant
portions  of their  assets  in shares  of the  Fund.  From  time to time,  those
investments may also represent a significant  portion of the Fund's  outstanding
shares or of its outstanding Class Y shares.  Those funds of funds typically use
asset  allocation  strategies under which they may increase or reduce the amount
of their  investment  in the  Fund  frequently,  and may do so on a daily  basis
during  volatile  market  conditions.   If  the  size  of  those  purchases  and
redemptions of the Fund's shares by the funds of funds were significant relative
to the size of the Fund's assets, the Fund could be required to purchase or sell
portfolio securities, increasing its transaction costs and possibly reducing its
performance  for all share  classes.  For a further  discussion  of the possible
effects of frequent  trading in the Fund's  shares,  please refer to the section
titled "Are There Limitations on Frequent Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges?"
in this prospectus.

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

     OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.  To seek its investment  objectives,  the Fund
can also use some or all the  investment  techniques  and  strategies  described
below.  The Fund might not always use all of them.  These techniques have risks,
although  some are designed to help reduce  overall  investment or market risks.
Common Stocks and Other Equity Securities.  The Fund can invest in common stocks
and other equity securities,  including warrants and rights, preferred stock and
convertible  securities,  when consistent with the Fund's objectives.  Preferred
Stocks.  Unlike common stock,  preferred  stock  typically has a stated dividend
rate.  When  interest  rates rise,  the value of preferred  stock having a fixed
dividend  rate tends to fall.  The rights to payment of  dividends  on preferred
stock  generally is subordinate  to the rights of a company's  debt  securities.
Preferred  stock  dividends  may be  cumulative  (they remain a liability of the
company until paid) or  non-cumulative.  o Risks of Investing in Stocks.  Stocks
fluctuate in price and their short-term volatility at times may be great. To the
extent  that the Fund  invests  in equity  securities,  the value of the  Fund's
portfolio  will be  affected  by changes in the stock  markets.  Market risk can
affect the Fund's net asset values per share, which will fluctuate as the values
of the Fund's portfolio  securities  change.  The prices of individual stocks do
not all move in the same  direction  uniformly  or at the same  time.  Different
stock markets may behave differently from each other.

     Other factors can affect a particular  stock's price, such as poor earnings
reports by the issuer,  loss of major customers,  major  litigation  against the
issuer,  or  changes  in  government  regulations  affecting  the  issuer or its
industry.  When interest rates rise, the value of preferred stock having a fixed
dividend rate tends to fall.

     Loans of  Portfolio  Securities.  The Fund has  entered  into a  Securities
Lending  Agreement  with  JP  Morgan  Chase.  Under  that  agreement   portfolio
securities  of the Fund may be loaned to brokers,  dealers  and other  financial
institutions.  The  Securities  Lending  Agreement  provides  that loans must be
adequately  collateralized  and may be made only in  conformity  with the Fund's
Securities  Lending  Guidelines,  adopted by the Fund's Board of  Trustees.  The
value of the securities loaned may not exceed 25% of the value of the Fund's net
assets.  Other  Derivative  Investments.  In addition to  purchasing  structured
notes,  the  Fund can use  other  types of  derivative  investments  to seek its
objectives. o Mortgage-Related  Securities.  The Fund can buy interests in pools
of residential or commercial mortgages,  in the form of collateralized  mortgage
obligations ("CMOs") and other "pass-through"  mortgage securities.  They may be
issued   or   guaranteed   by  the  U.S.   government   or  its   agencies   and
instrumentalities  or  by  private  issuers.   CMOs  that  are  U.S.  government
securities have collateral to secure payment of interest and principal. They may
be  issued  in  different  series,  each  having  different  interest  rates and
maturities.  The  collateral  is  either  in the form of  mortgage  pass-through
certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. government agency or instrumentality
or mortgage loans insured by a U.S. government agency.

     The prices and yields of CMOs are determined, in part, by assumptions about
the cash flows from the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages. Changes in
interest rates may cause the rate of expected  prepayments of those mortgages to
change.  In general,  prepayments  increase when general interest rates fall and
decrease when interest rates rise.

     If  prepayments  of mortgages  underlying a CMO occur faster than  expected
when  interest  rates  fall,  the  market  value  and  yield of the CMO could be
reduced.  Additionally,  the Fund might have to reinvest the prepayment proceeds
in other  securities  paying  interest at lower  rates,  which could  reduce the
Fund's  yield.  The  impact of  prepayments  on the price of a  security  may be
difficult to predict and may increase the volatility of the price. Additionally,
the  Fund  may  buy  mortgage-related  securities  at  a  premium.   Accelerated
prepayments  on those  securities  could cause the Fund to lose a portion of its
principal investment represented by the premium the Fund paid.

     When interest rates rise rapidly, and if prepayments occur more slowly than
expected, a short- or medium-term CMO can in effect become a long-term security,
subject to greater  fluctuations in value.  These  prepayment risks can make the
prices  of CMOs  very  volatile  when  interest  rates  change.  The  prices  of
longer-term  debt  securities  tend to fluctuate more than those of shorter-term
debt  securities.  That  volatility  will  affect the  Fund's  share  prices.  o
Private-Issuer  Mortgage-Backed  Securities.  CMOs  and  other  mortgage-related
securities issued by private issuers are not U.S. government securities, and are
subject to greater credit risks than  mortgage-related  securities that are U.S.
government securities.  The Fund can invest in mortgage-backed securities issued
by private  issuers.  Primarily these include  multi-class  debt or pass-through
certificates secured by mortgage loans. They may be issued by banks, savings and
loans,  mortgage  bankers and other  non-governmental  issuers.  Private  issuer
mortgage-backed  securities  are subject to the credit  risks of the issuers (as
well as interest rate risks and prepayment  risks),  although in some cases they
may be supported  by  insurance or  guarantees.  o  Zero-Coupon  and  "Stripped"
Securities. The Fund can buy government and corporate zero-coupon bonds that pay
no interest.  They are issued at a  substantial  discount from their face value.
The Fund also can buy  "stripped"  securities  that are the  separate  income or
principal  components of a debt  security.  Some CMOs or other  mortgage-related
securities may be stripped, with each component having a different proportion of
principal or interest payments. One class might receive all the interest and the
other all the principal payments.

     Zero-coupon and stripped securities are subject to greater  fluctuations in
price from interest rate changes than interest-bearing  securities. The Fund may
have to pay out the imputed income on zero-coupon  securities  without receiving
the actual cash currently.

     The values of interest-only and principal-only  mortgage-related securities
are also very sensitive to  prepayments  of underlying  mortgages and changes in
interest rates.  When  prepayments tend to fall, the timing of the cash flows to
these  securities  increases,  making them more sensitive to changes in interest
rates.  The  market  for some of these  securities  may be  limited,  making  it
difficult  for the Fund to  dispose  of its  holdings  at an  acceptable  price.
Participation  Interests  in Loans.  These  securities  represent  an  undivided
fractional  interest  in a loan  obligation  by a borrower.  They are  typically
purchased  from banks or dealers  that have made the loan or are  members of the
loan syndicate. The loans may be to foreign or U.S. companies.  They are subject
to the risk of default by the borrower as well as credit risks of the  servicing
agent of the participation  interest,  which can cause the Fund to lose money on
its  investment.  The Fund can also buy  interests in trusts and other  entities
that hold loan obligations. In that case the Fund will be subject to the trust's
credit  risks.  The Fund  does not  invest  more  than 5% of its net  assets  in
participation interests of any one borrower.  Hedging. The Fund can buy and sell
futures  contracts,  put and call options and forward  contracts.  These are all
referred to as "hedging  instruments."  The Fund is not  required to use hedging
instruments to seek its  objectives.  The Fund will not use hedging  instruments
for speculative purposes, and has limits on its use of them.

     The Fund could buy and sell  options,  futures and forward  contracts for a
number  of  purposes.  It  might  do so to try to  manage  its  exposure  to the
possibility  that the prices of its  portfolio  securities  may  decline,  or to
establish a position in the  securities  market as a  temporary  substitute  for
purchasing individual  securities.  It might do so to try to manage its exposure
to changing  interest  rates.  The Fund can use forward  contracts  and currency
options  to  try  to  manage  foreign  currency  risks  on  the  Fund's  foreign
investments.

     Hedging has risks. Options trading involves the payment of premiums and has
special  tax effects on the Fund.  There are also  special  risks in  particular
hedging  strategies.  If a covered  call  written by the Fund is exercised on an
investment  that has  increased in value,  the Fund will be required to sell the
investment  at the call price and will not be able to realize  any profit if the
investment has increased in value above the call price.  In writing a put, there
is a risk that the Fund may be  required  to buy the  underlying  security  at a
disadvantageous price.

     If the Manager used a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judged market
conditions  incorrectly,  the strategy could 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 or if it could not close out a
position because of an illiquid market.

     "When-Issued" and  "Delayed-Delivery"  Transactions.  The Fund can purchase
securities  on a  "when-issued"  basis and may purchase or sell  securities on a
"delayed-delivery" basis. These terms refer to securities that have been created
and for  which a market  exists,  but  which  are not  available  for  immediate
delivery. There might be a risk of loss to the Fund if the value of the security
declines  prior to the  settlement  date.  Illiquid and  Restricted  Securities.
Investments  may be illiquid  because they do not have an active trading market,
making it difficult to value them or dispose of them  promptly at an  acceptable
price.  Restricted  securities  may have terms that limit their  resale to other
investors or may require  registration  under applicable  securities laws before
they may be sold  publicly.  The Fund will not  invest  more than 10% of its net
assets in illiquid or restricted  securities.  The Board can increase that limit
to 15%. Certain restricted  securities that are eligible for resale to qualified
institutional  purchasers may not be subject to that limit. The Manager monitors
holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell
any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity.  Portfolio  Turnover.  The Fund may
engage  in  short-term  trading  to try to  achieve  its  objectives.  Portfolio
turnover affects  brokerage costs,  although the Fund does not pay for brokerage
on most of its portfolio  transactions.  If the Fund realizes capital gains when
it sells its  portfolio  investments,  it must  generally pay those gains out to
shareholders,  increasing  their  taxable  distributions.   Increased  portfolio
turnover  creates higher  brokerage and transaction  costs for the Fund (and may
reduce  performance).  The  Financial  Highlights  table  at  the  end  of  this
Prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio  turnover rates during prior fiscal years.
Temporary  Defensive  and Interim  Investments.  In times of adverse or unstable
market, economic or political conditions,  the Fund can invest up to 100% of its
assets in temporary  investments that are inconsistent with the Fund's principal
investment strategies. Generally they would be cash or cash equivalents, such as
U.S.  Treasury  Bills  and  other  short-term  U.S.  government  obligations  or
high-grade  commercial  paper.  The Fund can also hold these types of securities
pending the  investment  of proceeds  from the sale of Fund shares or  portfolio
securities or to meet anticipated  redemptions of Fund shares. To the extent the
Fund  invests  defensively  in  these  securities,  it  might  not  achieve  its
investment objectives.

     PORTFOLIO   HOLDINGS.   The  Fund's  portfolio  holdings  are  included  in
semi-annual  and annual reports that are distributed to shareholders of the Fund
within 60 days  after the close of the  period  for which  such  report is being
made.  The Fund also  discloses  its  portfolio  holdings in its  Statements  of
Investments  on Form N-Q,  which  are filed  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  ("SEC") no later than 60 days after the close of its first and third
fiscal  quarters.  These  required  filings are  publicly  available at the SEC.
Therefore,  portfolio  holdings of the Fund are made publicly available no later
than 60 days after the close of each of the Fund's fiscal quarters.

     A description  of the Fund's  policies and  procedures  with respect to the
disclosure  of the  Fund's  portfolio  securities  is  available  in the  Fund's
Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund Is Managed

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

     The Manager has been an investment  advisor since January 1960. The Manager
and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates managed more than $215 billion in
assets as of June 30, 2006,  including other  Oppenheimer funds with more than 6
million  shareholder  accounts.  The  Manager is located at Two World  Financial
Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.  Advisory
Fees. Under the Fund's investment advisory agreement,  the Fund pays the Manager
an advisory fee at an annual rate that declines as the Fund's assets grow: 0.70%
of the first $250 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.65% of the
next  $250  million,  0.60% of the next  $500  million,  0.55% of the next  $500
million,  and 0.50% of average annual net assets in excess of $1.5 billion.  The
Fund's  management  fee for its last  fiscal year ended  September  30, 2005 was
0.60% of average annual net assets for each class of shares.

     A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of the
Fund's  investment  advisory  contract is  available  in the Fund's  Semi-Annual
Report to shareholders for the six month period ended March 31, 2006.

     Portfolio   Manager.   The  Fund's   portfolio   is  managed  by  Dimitrios
Kourkoulakos. Mr. Kourkoulakos is the Fund's lead portfolio manager and has been
primarily  responsible  for the  day-to-day  management of the Fund's  portfolio
since June 2002. Mr. Kourkoulakos has been a Vice President of the Manager since
December  2001 and is an officer  of other  portfolios  in the  OppenheimerFunds
complex. He was formerly a High Yield Analyst with the Manager from 1998 to 2001
and a Securities Analyst from 1995 to 1998.

     The Statement of Additional  Information  provides  additional  information
about the Portfolio  Manager's  compensation,  other accounts he manages and his
ownership of Fund shares.

     Pending  Litigation.  A  consolidated  amended  complaint  was  filed  as a
putative  class  action  against the Manager and the  Transfer  Agent (and other
defendants) in the U.S.  District Court for the Southern District of New York on
January 10, 2005 and was amended on March 4, 2005. The complaint alleged,  among
other things, that the Manager charged excessive fees for distribution and other
costs,  and  that by  permitting  and/or  participating  in those  actions,  the
Directors/Trustees and the Officers of the funds breached their fiduciary duties
to fund shareholders under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and at common law.
The plaintiffs sought unspecified  damages,  an accounting of all fees paid, and
an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.

     In response to the  defendants'  motions to dismiss the suit,  seven of the
eight  counts in the  complaint,  including  the claims  against  certain of the
Oppenheimer funds, as nominal defendants, and against certain present and former
Directors,  Trustees  and  officers  of  the  funds,  and  the  Distributor,  as
defendants,  were dismissed with prejudice, by court order dated March 10, 2006,
and the remaining count against the Manager and the Transfer Agent was dismissed
with  prejudice  by court  order dated April 5, 2006.  The  plaintiffs  filed an
appeal of those dismissals on May 11, 2006.

     The Manager  believes  that it is premature to render any opinion as to the
likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to it, the funds, the Directors/Trustees or
the Officers on the appeal of the decisions of the district  court,  and that no
estimate  can yet be made with any degree of certainty as to the amount or range
of any  potential  loss.  However,  the Manager  believes  that the  allegations
contained  in the  complaint  are without  merit and that there are  substantial
grounds to sustain the district court's rulings.

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

How to Buy Shares

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

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

     Buying Shares Through the  Distributor.  Complete an  OppenheimerFunds  new
account  application  and return it with a check  payable  to  "OppenheimerFunds
Distributor,  Inc." Mail it to P.O. Box 5270, Denver,  Colorado 80217. If you do
not list a dealer on the  application,  Class A shares  are your  only  purchase
option.  The  Distributor  will act as your  agent  in  buying  Class A  shares.
However,  we recommend that you discuss your investment with a financial advisor
before  you make a  purchase  to be sure that the Fund is  appropriate  for you.
Class B,  Class C or  Class N  shares  may not be  purchased  by a new  investor
directly  from  the  Distributor   without  the  investor   designating  another
registered   broker-dealer.   If  a  current  investor  no  longer  has  another
broker-dealer of record for an existing Class B, Class C or Class N 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.

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

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

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

     WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT YOU MUST INVEST? In most cases, you can buy Fund
shares  with  a  minimum  initial  investment  of  $1,000  and  make  additional
investments  at any time  with as  little as $50.  There  are  reduced  minimums
available under the following  special  investment plans: o If you establish one
of the many types of retirement plan accounts that OppenheimerFunds offers, more
fully  described  below under  "Special  Investor  Services," you can start your
account  with as little as $500.  o By using an Asset  Builder Plan or Automatic
Exchange  Plan  (details are in the  Statement of  Additional  Information),  or
government  allotment plan, you can make an initial  investment for as little as
$500.  The minimum  subsequent  investment  is $50,  except that for any account
established  under one of these plans  prior to  November  1, 2002,  the minimum
additional  investment will remain $25. o A minimum  initial  investment of $250
applies  to  certain  fee  based  programs  that  have  an  agreement  with  the
Distributor.  The minimum subsequent investment for those programs is $50. o The
minimum investment  requirement does not apply to reinvesting dividends from the
Fund or other  Oppenheimer  funds (a list of them  appears in the  Statement  of
Additional Information,  or you can ask your dealer or call the Transfer Agent),
or  reinvesting  distributions  from  unit  investment  trusts  that  have  made
arrangements with the Distributor.

     AT WHAT PRICE ARE SHARES  SOLD?  Shares  are sold at their  offering  price
which is the net asset  value per  share  plus any  initial  sales  charge  that
applies.  The offering  price that  applies to a purchase  order is based on the
next  calculation  of the net  asset  value  per  share  that is made  after the
Distributor receives the purchase order at its offices in Colorado, or after any
agent appointed by the Distributor  receives the order.  Your financial  adviser
can provide you with more  information  regarding  the time you must submit your
purchase order and whether the adviser is an authorized agent for the receipt of
purchase orders.

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

     The net asset value per share for a class of shares on a "regular  business
day" is determined  by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets  attributable
to that class by the number of shares of that class  outstanding on that day. To
determine net asset values, the Fund assets are valued primarily on the basis of
current market quotations.  If market quotations are not readily available or do
not accurately reflect fair value for a security (in the Manager's  judgment) or
if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the
close of the NYSE or market on which the security is  principally  traded,  that
security  may be valued by another  method that the Board of  Trustees  believes
accurately  reflects the fair value.  Because some foreign  securities  trade in
markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays,  the values
of some of the Fund's  foreign  investments  may  change on days when  investors
cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

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

     If, after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the
Fund is traded and  before the time as of which the Fund's net asset  values are
calculated  that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in
the exercise of its judgment  will cause a material  change in the value of that
security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which
it is traded,  the Manager will use its best  judgment to determine a fair value
for that security.

     The Manager  believes  that  foreign  securities  values may be affected by
volatility  that  occurs in U.S.  markets  on a  trading  day after the close of
foreign securities markets.  The Manager's fair valuation  procedures  therefore
include a procedure  whereby foreign  securities  prices may be "fair valued" to
take those factors into account.

     The Offering Price. To receive the offering price for a particular day, the
Distributor or its designated  agent must receive your order,  in proper form as
described  in this  Prospectus,  by the time the NYSE  closes  that day. If your
order is received  on a day when the NYSE is closed or after it has closed,  the
order will receive the next offering  price that is determined  after your order
is received.  Buying  Through a Dealer.  If you buy shares through an authorized
dealer,  your dealer must  receive the order by the close of the NYSE  (normally
4:00 p.m.  Eastern time). The dealer must transmit it to the Distributor so that
it is received before the Distributor's  close of business on a regular business
day (normally 5:00 p.m.  Eastern time),  unless your dealer has made alternative
arrangements  with the Distributor.  If your order is received on a day when the
NYSE is closed or after it is closed,  the order will receive the next  offering
price that is determined.

     WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER?  The Fund offers investors five
different  classes  of  shares.   The  different  classes  of  shares  represent
investments in the same portfolio of securities,  but the classes are subject to
different  expenses and will likely have  different  share prices.  When you buy
shares,  be sure to specify  the class of shares.  If you do not choose a class,
your investment will be made in Class A shares.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     If you invest $1 million or more,  in most cases Class A shares will be the
most advantageous choice, no matter how long you intend to hold your shares. For
that reason,  the  Distributor  normally will not accept purchase orders of more
than  $100,000  of Class B shares or $1 million or more of Class C shares from a
single investor. Dealers or other financial intermediaries purchasing shares for
their  customers in omnibus  accounts are  responsible for compliance with those
limits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Due to rounding, the actual sales charge for a particular transaction may be higher or
lower than the rates listed above.

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

     CAN YOU REDUCE CLASS A SALES  CHARGES?  You and your spouse may be eligible
to buy Class A shares of the Fund at reduced sales charge rates set forth in the
table above under the Fund's  "Right of  Accumulation"  or a "Letter of Intent."
The Fund reserves the right to modify or to cease offering these programs at any
time. o Right of  Accumulation.  To qualify for the reduced Class A sales charge
that would apply to a larger purchase than you are currently making (as shown in
the table  above),  you can add the value of any  Class A,  Class B or,  Class C
shares of the Fund or other  Oppenheimer funds that you or your spouse currently
own, or are currently  purchasing,  to the value of your Class A share purchase.
Your Class A shares of Oppenheimer  Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer  Cash
Reserves on which you have not paid a sales  charge will not be counted for this
purpose. In totaling your holdings, you may count shares held in your individual
accounts  (including  IRAs and  403(b)  plans),  your joint  accounts  with your
spouse,  or accounts you or your spouse hold as trustees or custodians on behalf
of your children who are minors.  A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for
a trust, estate or other fiduciary account that has multiple accounts (including
employee benefit plans for the same employer). If you are buying shares directly
from the Fund, you must inform the Distributor of your  eligibility and holdings
at the time of your purchase in order to qualify for the Right of  Accumulation.
If you are buying shares  through your  financial  intermediary  you must notify
your  intermediary of your eligibility for the Right of Accumulation at the time
of your purchase.

     To count  shares of  eligible  Oppenheimer  funds held in accounts at other
intermediaries under this Right of Accumulation, you may be requested to provide
the  Distributor  or  your  current  intermediary  with  a copy  of all  account
statements  showing  your  current  holdings  of  the  Fund  or  other  eligible
Oppenheimer funds, including statements for accounts held by you and your spouse
or in  retirement  plans or trust or custodial  accounts  for minor  children as
described  above.  The Distributor or intermediary  through which you are buying
shares will calculate the value of your eligible  Oppenheimer fund shares, based
on the current  offering price, to determine which Class A sales charge rate you
qualify for on your current purchase.

     o Letters of Intent. You may also qualify for reduced Class A sales charges
by  submitting  a Letter of Intent to the  Distributor.  A Letter of Intent is a
written  statement of your  intention to purchase a specified  value of Class A,
Class B or Class C shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds over a 13-month
period.  The total  amount of your  intended  purchases  of Class A, Class B and
Class C shares will  determine  the reduced sales charge rate that will apply to
your Class A share  purchases of the Fund during that period.  You can choose to
include purchases made up to 90 days before the date that you submit a Letter of
Intent.  Your  Class  A  shares  of  Oppenheimer  Money  Market  Fund,  Inc.  or
Oppenheimer  Cash Reserves on which you have not paid a sales charge will not be
counted for this purpose. Submitting a Letter of Intent does not obligate you to
purchase the specified amount of shares. You may also be able to apply the Right
of Accumulation to these purchases.

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

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

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

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

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

     o Other Special Reductions and Waivers.  The Fund and the Distributor offer
additional  arrangements  to reduce or eliminate  front-end  sales charges or to
waive  contingent  deferred sales charges for certain types of transactions  and
for certain  classes of  investors  (primarily  retirement  plans that  purchase
shares in special  programs  through the  Distributor).  These are  described in
greater detail in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional  Information,  which
may be  ordered  by  calling  1.800.225.5677  or  through  the  OppenheimerFunds
website, at  www.oppenheimerfunds.com  (follow the hyperlinks:  "Access Accounts
and Services" - "Forms &  Literature" - "Order  Literature" - "Statements of
Additional  Information").  A  description  of these  waivers and special  sales
charge  arrangements  is also  available  for  viewing  on the  OppenheimerFunds
website (follow the hyperlinks:  "Research  Funds" - "Fund  Documents" - "View a
description  . . .").  To receive a waiver or special  sales  charge  rate under
these  programs,  the purchaser must notify the  Distributor (or other financial
intermediary  through which shares are being purchased) at the time of purchase,
or notify the Transfer  Agent at the time of redeeming  shares for those waivers
that apply to contingent deferred sales charges.

     o Purchases by Certain  Retirement Plans.  There is no initial sales charge
on  purchases  of Class A shares of the Fund by  retirement  plans  that have $5
million or more in plan assets.  In that case the  Distributor  may pay from its
own resources,  at the time of sale,  concessions in an amount equal to 0.25% of
the purchase  price of Class A shares  purchased  within the first six months of
account establishment by those retirement plans to dealers of record, subject to
certain  exceptions   described  in  "Retirement  Plans"  in  the  Statement  of
Additional Information.

     There is also no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of the
Fund by certain  retirement plans that are part of a retirement plan or platform
offered  by  eligible  banks,  broker-dealers,   financial  advisors,  insurance
companies or recordkeepers.  No contingent deferred sales charge is charged upon
the redemption of such shares.

     Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.  There is no initial sales charge
on  purchases  of Class A  shares  of any one or more of the  Oppenheimer  funds
aggregating  $1 million or more,  or on  purchases  of Class A shares by certain
retirement  plans that  satisfied  certain  requirements  prior to March 1, 2001
("grandfathered  retirement  accounts").  However,  those  Class A shares may be
subject to a Class A contingent  deferred  sales  charge,  as  described  below.
Retirement  plans holding shares of Oppenheimer  funds in an omnibus  account(s)
for the benefit of plan  participants  in the name of a fiduciary  or  financial
intermediary  (other than  OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  Single DB Plus plans) are
not  permitted  to make  initial  purchases  of  Class  A  shares  subject  to a
contingent deferred sales charge.

     The  Distributor  pays dealers of record  concessions in an amount equal to
1.0% of  purchases of $1 million or more other than  purchases by  grandfathered
retirement accounts.  For grandfathered  retirement accounts,  the concession is
0.75% of the first $2.5 million of  purchases  plus 0.25% of purchases in excess
of $2.5 million. In either case, the concession will not be paid on purchases of
shares by exchange or that were  previously  subject to a front-end sales charge
and dealer concession.

     If you redeem  any of those  shares  within an  18-month  "holding  period"
measured  from  the  beginning  of the  calendar  month  of  their  purchase,  a
contingent  deferred sales charge (called the "Class A contingent deferred sales
charge") may be deducted from the redemption proceeds. That sales charge will be
equal to 1.0% of the lesser of: o the  aggregate net asset value of the redeemed
shares at the time of redemption  (excluding shares purchased by reinvestment of
dividends or capital gain  distributions);  or o the original net asset value of
the redeemed shares.

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

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

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years Since Beginning of Month in       Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on
Which Purchase Order was Accepted       Redemptions in That Year
                                        (As % of Amount Subject to Charge)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 - 1                                   5.0%

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More than 6                             None
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

     Class N shares are sold at net asset value without an initial sales charge.
A contingent  deferred  sales charge of 1.0% will be imposed upon the redemption
of Class N shares,  if: o The group  retirement  plan is  terminated  or Class N
shares of all  Oppenheimer  funds are terminated as an investment  option of the
plan and Class N shares are  redeemed  within 18 months  after the plan's  first
purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer  fund, or o With respect to an IRA
or 403(b) plan, Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months of the plan's first
purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund.

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

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

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

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     For  certain  group  retirement  plans  held  in  omnibus   accounts,   the
Distributor  will pay the full Class C or Class N  asset-based  sales charge and
the service fee to the dealer  beginning in the first year after the purchase of
such shares in lieu of paying the dealer the sales concession and the advance of
the first year's  service fee at the time of purchase.  New group  omnibus plans
may not purchase Class B shares.

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

     OTHER  PAYMENTS TO  FINANCIAL  INTERMEDIARIES  AND SERVICE  PROVIDERS.  The
Manager and the Distributor,  in their discretion, also may pay dealers or other
financial   intermediaries   and  service  providers  for  distribution   and/or
shareholder servicing  activities.  These payments are made out of the Manager's
and/or the Distributor's own resources,  including from the profits derived from
the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. These cash payments, which
may be substantial,  are paid to many firms having business  relationships  with
the Manager and Distributor.  These payments are in addition to any distribution
fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the
Fund to these financial  intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays
to these firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. These payments by the
Manager or Distributor  from their own resources are not reflected in the tables
in the section called "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" in this Prospectus because
they are not paid by the Fund.

     "Financial  intermediaries"  are firms that  offer and sell Fund  shares to
their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive
compensation  for doing so. Your  securities  dealer or financial  adviser,  for
example,  is a financial  intermediary,  and there are other types of  financial
intermediaries  that receive  payments  relating to the sale or servicing of the
Fund's shares.  In addition to dealers,  the financial  intermediaries  that may
receive payments include sponsors of fund "supermarkets,"  sponsors of fee-based
advisory  or wrap fee  programs,  sponsors  of college  and  retirement  savings
programs, banks and trust companies offering products that hold Fund shares, and
insurance  companies  that offer  variable  annuity or variable  life  insurance
products.

     In general,  these payments to financial  intermediaries can be categorized
as    "distribution-related"    or    "servicing"    payments.    Payments   for
distribution-related  expenses,  such as marketing or promotional expenses,  are
often referred to as "revenue  sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on
the basis of the sales of shares  attributable  to that dealer,  the average net
assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer  funds  attributable to the accounts of
that dealer and its  clients,  negotiated  lump sum  payments  for  distribution
services provided, or sales support fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing
payments may create an incentive for a dealer or financial  intermediary  or its
representatives  to recommend  or offer shares of the Fund or other  Oppenheimer
funds  to its  customers.  These  payments  also  may  give an  intermediary  an
incentive to  cooperate  with the  Distributor's  marketing  efforts.  A revenue
sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the
intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor
with access to representatives of the intermediary's  sales force, in some cases
on a  preferential  basis  over  funds  of  competitors.  Additionally,  as firm
support,   the  Manager  or  Distributor  may  reimburse   expenses  related  to
educational  seminars and "due  diligence"  or training  meetings (to the extent
permitted  by  applicable  laws or the rules of the NASD)  designed  to increase
sales  representatives'  awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and
lodging  expenditures.  However,  the  Manager  does not  consider  a  financial
intermediary's  sale of  shares  of the Fund or  other  Oppenheimer  funds  when
selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

     Various  factors  are used to  determine  whether to make  revenue  sharing
payments.  Possible  considerations  include,  without limitation,  the types of
services  provided by the  intermediary,  sales of Fund shares,  the  redemption
rates on  accounts of clients of the  intermediary  or overall  asset  levels of
Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of
the  intermediary to allow the  Distributor to provide  educational and training
support for the  intermediary's  sales  personnel  relating  to the  Oppenheimer
funds, the  availability of the Oppenheimer  funds on the  intermediary's  sales
system,  as  well  as the  overall  quality  of  the  services  provided  by the
intermediary   and  the   Manager  or   Distributor's   relationship   with  the
intermediary.  The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing
and implementing  each prospective  revenue sharing  arrangement.  To the extent
that financial intermediaries receiving  distribution-related  payments from the
Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer  funds or retain more
shares  of the funds in their  client  accounts,  the  Manager  and  Distributor
benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect
to those assets.

     Payments may also be made by the Manager,  the  Distributor or the Transfer
Agent  to  financial   intermediaries   to  compensate  or  reimburse  them  for
administrative  or other client services  provided such as  sub-transfer  agency
services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or
sub-accounting,   participation  in  networking  arrangements,  account  set-up,
recordkeeping  and other  shareholder  services.  Payments  may also be made for
administrative  services  related to the distribution of Fund shares through the
intermediary.  Firms that may receive  servicing  fees include  retirement  plan
administrators,  qualified tuition program sponsors,  banks and trust companies,
and others.  These fees may be used by the service  provider to offset or reduce
fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain  account  holders,
such as retirement plans.

     The Statement of Additional  Information  contains more  information  about
revenue  sharing and service  payments  made by the Manager or the  Distributor.
Your dealer may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in
this  Prospectus.  You  should ask your  dealer or  financial  intermediary  for
details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the  Distributor
and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

How to Sell Shares

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

     Redemption  Fee.  The Fund imposes a 2%  redemption  fee on the proceeds of
Fund shares that are  redeemed  within 30 days of their  purchase.  The fee also
applies in the case of shares redeemed in exchange transactions.  The redemption
fee is collected by the Transfer  Agent and paid to the Fund.  It is intended to
help offset the trading, market impact, and administrative costs associated with
short-term money movements into and out of the Fund, and to help deter excessive
short term trading.  The fee is imposed to the extent that Fund shares  redeemed
exceed Fund shares that have been held more than 30 days. For shares of the Fund
that were acquired by exchange, the holding period is measured from the date the
shares were acquired in the exchange  transaction.  Shares held the longest will
be redeemed first.

   The redemption fee is not imposed on shares:

     o held in omnibus accounts of certain financial  intermediaries,  such as a
broker-dealer  or a retirement  plan  fiduciary if those  institutions  have not
implemented  the  system  changes  necessary  to be capable  of  processing  the
redemption fee. However,  account holders whose investments in the Fund are held
in omnibus accounts through certain other financial intermediates may be subject
to the  redemption  fee on  terms  that are  generally  in  accordance  with the
redemption fee terms in this prospectus but that may differ in certain  details.
For certain  retirement plans treated as omnibus accounts by the Fund's Transfer
Agent, the redemption fee may be charged on participant  initiated  exchanges or
redemptions.  Shares held in retirement plans that are not in omnibus  accounts,
such as  Oppenheimer-sponsored  retirement plans,  IRAs, and 403(b)(7) plans are
also  subject to the  redemption  fee. You should  consult  with your  financial
intermediary  or retirement  plan  provider for more details on this  redemption
fee;

     o held by  investors  in  certain  asset  allocation  programs  that  offer
automatic  re-balancing or wrap-fee or similar fee-based  programs and that have
been identified to the Distributor and the Transfer Agent;

     o  redeemed  for  rebalancing   transactions  under  the   OppenheimerFunds
Portfolio Builder program;

o     redeemed pursuant to an OppenheimerFunds automatic withdrawal plan;

o     redeemed due to the death or disability of the shareholder;

     o redeemed as part of an automatic  dividend exchange election  established
in advance of the exchange;

     o redeemed to pay fees  assessed by the Fund or the Transfer  Agent against
the account;

     o  redeemed  from  accounts  for which  the  dealer,  broker  or  financial
institution  of record has entered into an agreement with the  Distributor  that
permits such  redemptions  without the  imposition of these fees,  such as asset
allocation programs;

     o redeemed for  conversion  of Class B shares to Class A shares or pursuant
to fund mergers;  and

     o involuntary redemptions resulting from failure to meet account minimums.

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

   o  You wish to redeem more than $100,000 and receive a check.
   o  The redemption check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the account
      statement.
   o  The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your account statement,
   o  Shares are being transferred to a Fund account with a different owner or name.
   o  Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor) other than the owners.

Where Can You Have Your Signature Guaranteed? The Transfer Agent will accept a guarantee of
      your signature by a number of financial institutions, including:
o     a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,
o     a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,
o     a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities or government
      securities, or
o     a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities association or a
      clearing agency.
      If you are signing on behalf of a corporation, partnership or other business or as a
      fiduciary, you must also include your title in the signature.

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

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

     CHECKWRITING.  To write  checks  against  your Fund  account,  request that
privilege  on your  account  application,  or  contact  the  Transfer  Agent for
signature cards. They must be signed (with a signature  guarantee) by all owners
of the account and returned to the Transfer  Agent so that checks can be sent to
you to use. Shareholders with joint accounts can elect in writing to have checks
paid over the signature of one owner. If you previously  signed a signature card
to   establish   checkwriting   in  another   Oppenheimer   fund,   simply  call
1.800.225.5677 to request checkwriting for an account in this Fund with the same
registration  as the other  account.  o Checks  can be  written  to the order of
whomever  you wish,  but may not be cashed at the bank the  checks  are  payable
through  or the  Fund's  custodian  bank.  o  Checkwriting  privileges  are  not
available for Class Y accounts or accounts  holding shares that are subject to a
contingent  deferred  sales charge.  o Checks must be written for at least $500.
Checks  written  below the  stated  amount on the  check  will not be  accepted.
However,  if you have existing checks  indicating a $100 minimum,  you may still
use  them for  amounts  of $100 or more.  o  Checks  cannot  be paid if they are
written for more than your account  value.  Remember,  your shares  fluctuate in
value and you should not write a check close to the total account  value.  o You
may not write a check that would  require  the Fund to redeem  shares  that were
purchased by check or Asset  Builder Plan  payments  within the prior 10 days. o
Don't use your checks if you changed your Fund account number, until you receive
new checks.

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

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

Your shares will be sold at the next net asset value calculated after your order is
received by the Transfer Agent in proper form (which means that it must comply with the
procedures described herein).

HOW DO YOU SELL SHARES BY TELEPHONE? You and your dealer representative of record may also
sell your shares by telephone. To receive the redemption price calculated on a particular
regular business day, your call must be received by the Transfer Agent by the close of the
NYSE that day, which is normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, but may be earlier on some days.
You may not redeem shares held in an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored qualified retirement plan
account or under a share certificate by telephone.
   o  To redeem shares through a service representative or automatically on PhoneLink, call
      1.800.225.5677.
      Whichever method you use, you may have a check sent to the address on the account
statement, or, if you have linked your Fund account to your bank account on AccountLink,
you may have the proceeds sent to that bank account.

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

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

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

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

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

      A contingent  deferred sales charge will be based on the lesser of the net asset value
of the  redeemed  shares  at the time of  redemption  or the  original  net asset  value.  A
contingent deferred sales charge is not imposed on:
o     the amount of your account  value  represented  by an increase in net asset value over
      the initial purchase price,
o     shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions, or
o     shares redeemed in the special circumstances  described in Appendix C to the Statement
      of Additional Information.
      To determine whether a contingent deferred sales charge applies to a redemption, the
Fund redeems shares in the following order:
   1. shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions,
   2. shares held for the holding period that applies to the class, and
   3. shares held the longest during the holding period.

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

How to Exchange Shares

If you want to change all or part of your investment from one Oppenheimer fund to another,
you can exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Oppenheimer fund that
offers the exchange privilege. For example, you can exchange Class A shares of the Fund
only for Class A shares of another fund. To exchange shares, you must meet several
conditions:

   o  Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in your state of
      residence.
   o  The prospectus of the selected fund must offer the exchange privilege.
   o  When you establish an account, you must hold the shares you buy for at least seven
      days before you can exchange them. After your account is open for seven days, you can
      exchange shares on any regular business day, subject to the limitations described
      below.
   o  You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the selected fund.
   o  Generally, exchanges may be made only between identically registered accounts, unless
      all account owners send written exchange instructions with a signature guarantee.
   o  Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain its prospectus and should read it
      carefully.

      For tax purposes, an exchange of shares of the Fund is considered a sale of those
shares and a purchase of the shares of the fund into which you are exchanging. An exchange
may result in a capital gain or loss.

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

      A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is not charged when you exchange shares of
      the Fund for shares of another Oppenheimer fund. However, if you exchange your shares
      during the applicable CDSC holding period, the holding period will carry over to the
      fund shares that you acquire. Similarly, if you acquire shares of the Fund in
      exchange for shares of another Oppenheimer fund that are subject to a CDSC holding
      period, that holding period will carry over to the acquired shares of the Fund. In
      either of these situations, a CDSC may be imposed if the acquired shares are redeemed
      before the end of the CDSC holding period that applied to the exchanged shares.

      There are a number of other special conditions and limitations that apply to certain
      types of exchanges. These conditions and circumstances are described in detail in the
      "How to Exchange Shares" section in the Statement of Additional Information.

HOW DO YOU SUBMIT EXCHANGE REQUESTS? Exchanges may be requested in writing, by telephone or
internet, or by establishing an Automatic Exchange Plan.

Written Exchange Requests. Send a request letter, signed by all owners of the account, to
      the Transfer Agent at the address on the back cover. Exchanges of shares for which
      share certificates have been issued cannot be processed unless the Transfer Agent
      receives the certificates with the request letter.

Telephone and Internet Exchange Requests. Telephone exchange requests may be made either by
      calling a service representative or by using PhoneLink by calling 1.800.225.5677. You
      may submit internet exchange requests on the OppenheimerFunds internet website, at
      www.oppenheimerfunds.com. You must have obtained a user I.D. and password to make
      transactions on that website. Telephone and/or internet exchanges may be made only
      between accounts that are registered with the same name(s) and address. Shares for
      which share certificates have been issued may not be exchanged by telephone or the
      internet.

Automatic Exchange Plan. Shareholders can authorize the Transfer Agent to exchange a
      pre-determined amount of shares automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or
      annual basis.

Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in the Statement of Additional Information for
more details.

ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON FREQUENT PURCHASES, REDEMPTIONS AND EXCHANGES?

Risks from Excessive Purchase, Redemption and Short-Term Exchange Activity. The
OppenheimerFunds exchange privilege affords investors the ability to switch their
investments among Oppenheimer funds if their investment needs change. However, there are
limits on that privilege. Frequent purchases, redemptions and exchanges of fund shares may
interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the fund's investments efficiently, increase
the fund's transaction and administrative costs and/or affect the fund's performance,
depending on various factors, such as the size of the fund, the nature of its investments,
the amount of fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, the
aggregate dollar amount and the number and frequency of trades. If large dollar amounts are
involved in exchange and/or redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell
portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet redemption or exchange requests, and the
Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased.

Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board of Trustees have adopted the following policies
and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive exchanges, and/or purchase
and redemption activity, while balancing the needs of investors who seek liquidity from
their investment and the ability to exchange shares as investment needs change. There is no
guarantee that the policies and procedures described below will be sufficient to identify
and deter excessive short-term trading.

o     Timing of Exchanges.  Exchanged shares are normally redeemed from one fund and the
         proceeds are reinvested in the fund selected for exchange on the same regular
         business day on which the Transfer Agent or its agent (such as a financial
         intermediary holding the investor's shares in an "omnibus" or "street name"
         account) receives an exchange request that conforms to these policies. The request
         must be received by the close of the NYSE that day, which is normally 4:00 p.m.
         Eastern time, but may be earlier on some days, in order to receive that day's net
         asset value on the exchanged shares. Exchange requests received after the close of
         the NYSE will receive the next net asset value calculated after the request is
         received. However, the Transfer Agent may delay transmitting the proceeds from an
         exchange for up to five business days if it determines, in its discretion, that an
         earlier transmittal of the redemption proceeds to the receiving fund would be
         detrimental to either the fund from which the exchange is being made or the fund
         into which the exchange is being made. The proceeds will be invested in the fund
         into which the exchange is being made at the next net asset value calculated after
         the proceeds are received. In the event that such a delay in the reinvestment of
         proceeds occurs, the Transfer Agent will notify you or your financial
         representative.

o     Limits on Disruptive Activity. The Transfer Agent may, in its discretion, limit or
         terminate trading activity by any person, group or account that it believes would
         be disruptive, even if the activity has not exceeded the policy outlined in this
         Prospectus. The Transfer Agent may review and consider the history of frequent
         trading activity in all accounts in the Oppenheimer funds known to be under common
         ownership or control as part of the Transfer Agent's procedures to detect and
         deter excessive trading activity.

o     Exchanges of Client Accounts by Financial Advisers.  The Fund and the Transfer Agent
         permit dealers and financial intermediaries to submit exchange requests on behalf
         of their customers (unless the customer has revoked that authority). The
         Distributor and/or the Transfer Agent have agreements with a number of financial
         intermediaries that permit them to submit exchange orders in bulk on behalf of
         their clients. Those intermediaries are required to follow the exchange policies
         stated in this Prospectus and to comply with additional, more stringent
         restrictions. Those additional restrictions include limitations on the funds
         available for exchanges, the requirement to give advance notice of exchanges to
         the Transfer Agent, and limits on the amount of client assets that may be invested
         in a particular fund. A fund or the Transfer Agent may limit or refuse bulk
         exchange requests submitted by such financial intermediaries if, in the Transfer
         Agent's judgment, exercised in its discretion, the exchanges would be disruptive
         to any of the funds involved in the transaction.
o     Redemptions of Shares.  These exchange policy limits do not apply to redemptions of
         shares. Shareholders are permitted to redeem their shares on any regular business
         day, subject to the terms of this Prospectus. The Fund assesses a 2% fee on the
         proceeds of Fund shares that are redeemed or exchanged within 30 days after their
         purchase in certain circumstances. Further details are provided under "How to Sell
         Shares."

o     Right to Refuse Exchange and Purchase Orders.  The Distributor and/or the Transfer
      Agent may refuse any purchase or exchange order in their discretion and are not
      obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order. The Fund may amend, suspend or
      terminate the exchange privilege at any time. You will receive 60 days' notice of any
      material change in the exchange privilege unless applicable law allows otherwise.

o     Right to Terminate or Suspend Account Privileges.  The Transfer Agent may send a
      written warning to direct shareholders that the Transfer Agent believes may be
      engaging in excessive purchases, redemptions and/or exchange activity and reserves
      the right to suspend or terminate the ability to purchase shares and/or exchange
      privileges for any account that the Transfer Agent determines, in carrying out these
      policies and in the exercise of its discretion, has engaged in disruptive or
      excessive trading activity, with or without such warning.

o     Omnibus Accounts.  If you hold your shares of the Fund through a financial
      intermediary such as a broker-dealer, a bank, an insurance company separate account,
      an investment adviser, an administrator or trustee of a retirement plan or 529 plan,
      that holds your shares in an account under its name (these are sometimes referred to
      as "omnibus" or "street name" accounts), that financial intermediary may impose its
      own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term or excessive trading. You
      should consult your financial intermediary to find out what trading restrictions,
      including limitations on exchanges, they may apply.

While the Fund, the Distributor, the Manager and the Transfer Agent encourage financial
intermediaries to apply the Fund's policies to their customers who invest indirectly in the
Fund, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect excessive short term trading activity
facilitated by, or in accounts maintained in, the "omnibus" or "street name" accounts of a
financial intermediary. Therefore the Transfer Agent might not be able to apply this policy
to accounts such as (a) accounts held in omnibus form in the name of a broker-dealer or
other financial institution, or (b) omnibus accounts held in the name of a retirement plan
or 529 plan trustee or administrator, or (c) accounts held in the name of an insurance
company for its separate account(s), or (d) other accounts having multiple underlying
owners but registered in a manner such that the underlying beneficial owners are not
identified to the Transfer Agent.

However, the Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor overall purchase and redemption
activity in those accounts to seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading
by the underlying owners. If evidence of possible excessive trading activity is observed by
the Transfer Agent, the financial intermediary that is the registered owner will be asked
to review account activity, and to confirm to the Transfer Agent and the Fund that
appropriate action has been taken to curtail any excessive trading activity. However, the
Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in omnibus or
street name accounts ultimately depends on the capability and cooperation of the financial
intermediaries controlling those accounts.

Additional Policies and Procedures. The Fund's Board has adopted the following additional
policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive exchanges and
purchase and redemption activity:

o     30-Day Limit.  A direct shareholder may exchange some or all of the shares of the
         Fund held in his or her account to another eligible Oppenheimer fund once in a 30
         calendar-day period. When shares are exchanged into a fund account, that account
         will be "blocked" from further exchanges into another fund for a period of 30
         calendar days from the date of the exchange. The block will apply to the full
         account balance and not just to the amount exchanged into the account. For
         example, if a shareholder exchanged $1,000 from one fund into another fund in
         which the shareholder already owned shares worth $10,000, then, following the
         exchange, the full account balance ($11,000 in this example) would be blocked from
         further exchanges into another fund for a period of 30 calendar days. A "direct
         shareholder" is one whose account is registered on the Fund's books showing the
         name, address and tax ID number of the beneficial owner.

o     Exchanges Into Money Market Funds.  A direct shareholder will be permitted to
         exchange shares of a stock or bond fund for shares of a money market fund at any
         time, even if the shareholder has exchanged shares into the stock or bond fund
         during the prior 30 days. However, all of the shares held in that money market
         fund would then be blocked from further exchanges into another fund for 30
         calendar days.

o     Dividend Reinvestments/B Share Conversions.  Reinvestment of dividends or
         distributions from one fund to purchase shares of another fund and the conversion
         of Class B shares into Class A shares will not be considered exchanges for
         purposes of imposing the 30-day limit.

o     Asset Allocation.  Third-party asset allocation and rebalancing programs will be
         subject to the 30-day limit described above. Asset allocation firms that want to
         exchange shares held in accounts on behalf of their customers must identify
         themselves to the Transfer Agent and execute an acknowledgement and agreement to
         abide by these policies with respect to their customers' accounts. "On-demand"
         exchanges outside the parameters of portfolio rebalancing programs will be subject
         to the 30-day limit. However, investment programs by other Oppenheimer
         "funds-of-funds" that entail rebalancing of investments in underlying Oppenheimer
         funds will not be subject to these limits.

o     Automatic Exchange Plans.  Accounts that receive exchange proceeds through automatic
         or systematic exchange plans that are established through the Transfer Agent will
         not be subject to the 30-day block as a result of those automatic or systematic
         exchanges (but may be blocked from exchanges, under the 30-day limit, if they
         receive proceeds from other exchanges).


Shareholder Account Rules and Policies

More information about the Fund's policies and procedures for buying, selling and
exchanging shares is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.
A $12 annual "Minimum Balance Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a value of less
      than $500. The fee is automatically deducted from each applicable Fund account
      annually in September. See the Statement of Additional Information to learn how you
      can avoid this fee and for circumstances under which this fee will not be assessed.
The offering of shares may be suspended during any period in which the determination of net
      asset value is suspended, and the offering may be suspended by the Board of Trustees
      at any time the Board believes it is in the Fund's best interest to do so.
Telephone transaction privileges for purchases, redemptions or exchanges may be modified,
      suspended or terminated by the Fund at any time. The Fund will provide you notice
      whenever it is required to do so by applicable law. If an account has more than one
      owner, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may rely on the instructions of any one owner.
      Telephone privileges apply to each owner of the account and the dealer representative
      of record for the account unless the Transfer Agent receives cancellation
      instructions from an owner of the account.
The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning transactions
      and has adopted other procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine,
      by requiring callers to provide tax identification numbers and other account data or
      by using PINs, and by confirming such transactions in writing. The Transfer Agent and
      the Fund will not be liable for losses or expenses arising out of telephone
      instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
Redemption or transfer requests will not be honored until the Transfer Agent receives all
      required documents in proper form. From time to time, the Transfer Agent in its
      discretion may waive certain of the requirements for redemptions stated in this
      Prospectus.
Dealers that perform account transactions for their clients by participating in NETWORKING
      through the National Securities Clearing Corporation are responsible for obtaining
      their clients' permission to perform those transactions, and are responsible to their
      clients who are shareholders of the Fund if the dealer performs any transaction
      erroneously or improperly.
The redemption price for shares will vary from day to day because the value of the
      securities in the Fund's portfolio fluctuates. The redemption price, which is the net
      asset value per share, will normally differ for each class of shares. The redemption
      value of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.
Payment for redeemed shares ordinarily is made in cash. It is forwarded by check, or
      through AccountLink or by Federal Funds wire (as elected by the shareholder) within
      seven days after the Transfer Agent receives redemption instructions in proper form.
      However, under unusual circumstances determined by the SEC, payment may be delayed or
      suspended. For accounts registered in the name of a broker-dealer, payment will
      normally be forwarded within three business days after redemption.
The Transfer Agent may delay processing any type of redemption payment as described under
      "How to Sell Shares" for recently purchased shares, but only until the purchase
      payment has cleared. That delay may be as much as 10 days from the date the shares
      were purchased. That delay may be avoided if you purchase shares by Federal Funds
      wire or certified check.
Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Fund if the account value has
      fallen below $200 for reasons other than the fact that the market value of shares has
      dropped. In some cases, involuntary redemptions may be made to repay the Distributor
      for losses from the cancellation of share purchase orders.
Shares may be "redeemed in kind" under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of liquidity
      in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions). This means that the redemption proceeds
      will be paid with liquid securities from the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund redeems
      your shares in kind, you may bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until
      such time as such securities are converted into cash.
Federal regulations may require the Fund to obtain your name, your date of birth (for a
      natural person), your residential street address or principal place of business and
      your Social Security Number, Employer Identification Number or other government
      issued identification when you open an account. Additional information may be
      required in certain circumstances or to open corporate accounts.  The Fund or the
      Transfer Agent may use this information to attempt to verify your identity.  The Fund
      may not be able to establish an account if the necessary information is not
      received.  The Fund may also place limits on account transactions while it is in the
      process of attempting to verify your identity.  Additionally, if the Fund is unable
      to verify your identity after your account is established, the Fund may be required
      to redeem your shares and close your account.
"Backup withholding" of federal income tax may be applied against taxable dividends,
      distributions and redemption proceeds (including exchanges) if you fail to furnish
      the Fund your correct, certified Social Security or Employer Identification Number
      when you sign your application, or if you under-report your income to the Internal
      Revenue Service.
To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Fund will mail only one
      copy of each prospectus, annual and semi-annual report and annual notice of the
      Fund's privacy policy to shareholders having the same last name and address on the
      Fund's records. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits
      the Fund through reduced mailing expense.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS. The Fund intends to declare dividends separately for each class of shares from
net investment income each regular business day and pay those dividends monthly. Daily
dividends will not be declared or paid on newly purchased shares until Federal Funds are
available to the Fund from the purchase payment for shares. Dividends and distributions
paid to Class A and Class Y shares will generally be higher than dividends for Class B,
Class C and Class N shares, which normally have higher expenses than Class A and Class Y
shares. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any
dividends or distributions.

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

WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE FOR RECEIVING DISTRIBUTIONS? When you open your account, specify
on your application how you want to receive your dividends and distributions. You have four
options:
Reinvest All Distributions in the Fund. You can elect to reinvest all dividends and capital
      gains distributions in additional shares of the Fund.
Reinvest Dividends or Capital Gains. You can elect to reinvest some distributions
      (dividends, short-term capital gains or long-term capital gains distributions) in the
      Fund while receiving the other types of distributions by check or having them sent to
      your bank account through AccountLink.
Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive a check for all dividends and
      capital gains distributions or have them sent to your bank through AccountLink.
Reinvest Your Distributions in Another OppenheimerFunds Account. You can reinvest all
      distributions in the same class of shares of another OppenheimerFunds account you
      have established.

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

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

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

Avoid "Buying a Distribution." If you buy shares on or just before the Fund declares a
      capital gains distribution, you will pay the full price for the shares and then
      receive a portion of the price back as a taxable capital gain.
Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions. Because the Fund's share prices fluctuate,
      you may have a capital gain or loss when you sell or exchange your shares. A capital
      gain or loss is the difference between the price you paid for the shares and the
      price you received when you sold them. Any capital gain is subject to capital gains
      tax.
Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by the Fund may be
      considered a non-taxable return of capital to shareholders. If that occurs, it will
      be identified in notices to shareholders.

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




Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's financial
performance for periods shown.  Certain information reflects financial results for a single
Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have
earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions). This information, except the information for the six-month period ended
March 31, 2006, has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Fund's independent
registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund's financial
statements, is included in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon
request.  The information for the six months ended March 31, 2006 is unaudited and, in Fund
management's opinion, reflects all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of the results
of the interim period presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

ABOUT THE FUND

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

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

The Fund's Investment Policies. The composition of the Fund's portfolio and
the techniques and strategies that the Fund's 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 goals. 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. 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.

      Additionally, in analyzing a particular issuer, the Manager may
consider the trading activity in the issuer's securities, present and
anticipated cash flow, estimated current value of its assets in relation to
their historical cost, the issuer's experience and managerial expertise,
responsiveness to changes in interest rates and business conditions, debt
maturity schedules, current and future borrowing requirements, and any change
in the financial condition of an issuer and the issuer's continuing ability
to meet its future obligations. The Manager also may consider anticipated
changes in business conditions, levels of interest rates of bonds as
contrasted with levels of cash dividends, industry and regional prospects,
the availability of new investment opportunities and the general economic,
legislative and monetary outlook for specific industries, the nation and the
world.

      |X| Debt Securities. The Fund can invest in a variety of debt
securities to seek its objective. Foreign debt securities are subject to the
risks of foreign securities described below. In general, debt securities are
also subject to two additional types of risk: credit risk and interest rate
risk.

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

      The Fund's debt investments mainly include high-yield,
non-investment-grade bonds (commonly referred to as "junk bonds").
Investment-grade bonds are bonds rated at least "Baa" by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc., ("Moody's) at least "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Rating Services
("Standard & Poor's") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch, Inc.") or that have comparable
ratings by another nationally-recognized rating organization.

      In making investments in debt securities, the Manager may rely to some
extent on the ratings of ratings organizations or it may use its own research
to evaluate a security's credit-worthiness. If securities the Fund buys are
unrated, they are assigned a rating by the Manager of comparable quality to
bonds having similar yield and risk characteristics within a rating category
of a rating organization.

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

      o 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 debt investments, and a decline
in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition,
debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are
subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest
rates than obligations with shorter maturities.

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

      o Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. The Fund can invest without
limit in lower-grade debt securities, and the Fund will normally invest 60%
or more of its assets in these securities to seek the Fund's main objective.
Lower-grade securities tend to offer higher yields than investment-grade
securities, but also are subject to greater risks of default by the issuer in
its obligations to pay interest and/or repay principal on the maturity of the
security.

      "Lower-grade" debt securities are those rated below "investment grade,"
which means they have a rating lower than "Baa" by Moody's or lower than
"BBB" by Standard & Poor's or Fitch, Inc., or similar ratings by other rating
organizations. If they are unrated, and are determined by the Manager to be
of comparable quality to debt securities rated below investment grade, they
are considered part of the Fund's portfolio of lower-grade securities. The
Fund can invest in securities rated as low as "C" or "D" or which may be in
default at the time the Fund buys them.

      Some of the special credit risks of lower-grade securities are
discussed below. There is a greater risk that the issuer may default on its
obligation to pay interest or to repay principal than in the case of
investment-grade securities. The issuer's low creditworthiness may increase
the potential for its insolvency. An overall decline in values in the
high-yield bond market is also more likely during a period of a general
economic downturn. An economic downturn or an increase in interest rates
could severely disrupt the market for high-yield bonds, adversely affecting
the values of outstanding bonds as well as the ability of issuers to pay
interest or repay principal. In the case of foreign high-yield bonds, these
risks are in addition to the special risk of foreign investing discussed in
the Prospectus and in this SAI.

      To the extent they can be converted into stock, convertible securities
may be less subject to some of these risks than non-convertible high-yield
bonds, since stock may be more liquid and less affected by some of these risk
factors.

      While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by Standard & Poor's
or Fitch, Inc. are investment grade and are not regarded as junk bonds, those
securities may be subject to special risks, and have some speculative
characteristics. Definitions of the debt security ratings categories of the
principal rating organizations are included in Appendix A to this SAI.

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

      The Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in foreign securities.
While it currently limits investment in foreign securities to 25% of its net
assets, the Fund expects from time to time to have substantial investments in
foreign securities. These primarily will be debt securities issued or
guaranteed by foreign companies or governments, including supra-national
entities. "Foreign securities" include equity and debt securities of
companies organized under the laws of countries other than the United States
and debt securities issued or guaranteed by governments other than the U.S.
government or by foreign supra-national entities. They may be traded on
foreign securities exchanges or in the foreign over-the-counter markets.

      Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American
Depository Receipts or that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange or
traded in the U.S. over-the-counter markets are not considered "foreign
securities" for the purpose of the Fund's investment allocations, because
they are not subject to many of the special considerations and risks,
discussed below, that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.

      Because the Fund can purchase securities denominated in foreign
currencies, a change in the value of such foreign currency against the U.S.
dollar will result in a change in the amount of income the Fund has available
for distribution. Because a portion of the Fund's investment income may be
received in foreign currencies, the Fund will be required to compute its
income in U.S. dollars for distribution to shareholders, and therefore the
Fund will absorb the cost of currency fluctuations. After the Fund has
distributed income, subsequent foreign currency losses may result in the
Fund's having distributed more income in a particular fiscal period than was
available from investment income, which could result in a return of capital
to shareholders.

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

      o Foreign Debt Obligations. The debt obligations of foreign governments
and entities may or may not be supported by the full faith and credit of the
foreign government. The Fund may 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.

      The Fund can invest in U.S. dollar-denominated "Brady Bonds." These
foreign debt obligations may be fixed-rate par bonds or floating-rate
discount bonds. They are generally collateralized in full as to repayment of
principal at maturity by U.S. Treasury zero-coupon obligations that have the
same maturity as the Brady Bonds. Brady Bonds can be viewed as having three
or four valuation components: (i) the collateralized repayment of principal
at final maturity; (ii) the collateralized interest payments; (iii) the
uncollateralized interest payments; and (iv) any uncollateralized repayment
of principal at maturity. Those uncollateralized amounts constitute what is
called the "residual risk."

      If there is a default on collateralized Brady Bonds resulting in
acceleration of the payment obligations of the issuer, the zero-coupon U.S.
Treasury securities held as collateral for the payment of principal will not
be distributed to investors, nor will those obligations be sold to distribute
the proceeds. The collateral will be held by the collateral agent to the
scheduled maturity of the defaulted Brady Bonds. The defaulted bonds will
continue to remain outstanding, and the face amount of the collateral will
equal the principal payments which would have then been due on the Brady
Bonds in the normal course. Because of the residual risk of Brady Bonds and
the history of defaults with respect to commercial bank loans by public and
private entities of countries issuing Brady Bonds, Brady Bonds are considered
speculative investments.

      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 investing but have greater
risks than more developed foreign markets, such as those in Europe, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand and Japan. There may be even less liquidity in their
securities markets, and settlements of purchases and sales of securities may
be subject to additional delays. They are subject to greater risks of
limitations on the repatriation of income and profits because of currency
restrictions imposed by local governments. Those countries may also be
subject to the risk of greater political and economic instability, which can
greatly affect the volatility of prices of securities in those countries. The
Manager will consider these factors when evaluating securities in these
markets, because the selection of those securities must be consistent with
the Fund's investment objectives.

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

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

Other Investment Techniques and Strategies

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

      |X| Investments in Other Equity Securities. The Fund can invest limited
amounts of its assets in securities other than debt securities, including
certain types of equity securities of both foreign and U.S. companies. Those
equity securities include preferred stocks (described below), common stocks,
rights and warrants, and securities convertible into common stock. Certain
equity securities may be selected because they may provide dividend income.

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

      o Convertible Securities. While some convertible securities are a form
of debt security, in some cases their conversion feature (allowing conversion
into equity securities) causes the Manager to regard them more as "equity
equivalents." In those cases the rating assigned to the security has less
impact on the Manager's investment decision with respect to them than in the
case of non-convertible debt fixed-income securities. Convertible securities
are subject to the credit risks and interest rate risks described above in
"Debt Securities."

      The value of a convertible security is a function of its "investment
value" and its "conversion value." If the investment value exceeds the
conversion value, the security will behave more like a debt security and the
security's price will likely increase when prevailing interest rates fall and
decrease when prevailing interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds
the investment value, the security will behave more like an equity security.
In that case, it will likely sell at a premium over its conversion value and
its price will tend to fluctuate directly with the price of the underlying
security.

      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.

      o Rights and Warrants. The Fund cannot invest more than 5% of its total
assets in warrants or rights. That limit does not apply to warrants and
rights the Fund has acquired as part of units of securities or that are
attached to other securities that the Fund buys. The Fund does not expect
that it will have significant investments 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| Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are fractional
interests in pools of assets, typically accounts receivable or consumer
loans. They are issued by trusts or special-purpose corporations. They are
similar to mortgage-related securities, described below, and are backed by a
pool of assets that consist of obligations of individual borrowers. The
income from the pool is passed through to the holders of participation
interests in the pools. The pools may offer a credit enhancement, such as a
bank letter of credit, to try to reduce the risks that the underlying debtors
will not pay their obligations when due. However, the enhancement, if any,
might not be for the full par value of the security. If the enhancement is
exhausted and any required payments of interest or repayments of principal
are not made, the Fund could suffer losses on its investment or delays in
receiving payment.

      The value of an asset-backed security is affected by changes in the
market's perception of the asset backing the security, the creditworthiness
of the servicing agent for the loan pool, the originator of the loans, or the
financial institution providing any credit enhancement, and is also affected
if any credit enhancement has been exhausted. The risks of investing in
asset-backed securities are ultimately related to payment of consumer loans
by the individual borrowers. As a purchaser of an asset-backed security, the
Fund would generally have no recourse to the entity that originated the loans
in the event of default by a borrower. The underlying loans are subject to
prepayments, which may shorten the weighted average life of asset-backed
securities and may lower their return, in the same manner as in the case of
mortgage-backed securities and CMOs, described below. Unlike mortgage-backed
securities, asset-backed securities typically do not have the benefit of a
security interest in the underlying collateral.

      |X| Mortgage-Related Securities. Mortgage-related securities are a form
of derivative investment collateralized by pools of commercial or residential
mortgages. Pools of mortgage loans are assembled as securities for sale to
investors by government agencies or entities or by private issuers. These
securities include collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), mortgage
pass-through securities, stripped mortgage pass-through securities, interests
in real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs") and other real-estate
related securities.

      Mortgage-related securities that are issued or guaranteed by agencies
or instrumentalities of the U.S. government have relatively little credit
risk (depending on the nature of the issuer) but are subject to interest rate
risks and prepayment risks, as described in the Prospectus.

      As with other debt securities, the prices of mortgage-related
securities tend to move inversely to changes in interest rates. The Fund can
buy mortgage-related securities that have interest rates that move inversely
to changes in general interest rates, based on a multiple of a specific
index. Although the value of a mortgage-related security may decline when
interest rates rise, the converse is not always the case.

      In periods of declining interest rates, mortgages are more likely to be
prepaid. Therefore, a mortgage-related security's maturity can be shortened
by unscheduled prepayments on the underlying mortgages. Therefore, it is not
possible to predict accurately the security's yield. The principal that is
returned earlier than expected may have to be reinvested in other investments
having a lower yield than the prepaid security. Therefore, these securities
may be less effective as a means of "locking in" attractive long-term
interest rates, and they may have less potential for appreciation during
periods of declining interest rates, than conventional bonds with comparable
stated maturities.

      Prepayment risks can lead to substantial fluctuations in the value of a
mortgage-related security. In turn, this can affect the value of the Fund's
shares. If a mortgage-related security has been purchased at a premium, all
or part of the premium the Fund paid may be lost if there is a decline in the
market value of the security, whether that results from interest rate changes
or prepayments on the underlying mortgages. In the case of stripped
mortgage-related securities, if they experience greater rates of prepayment
than were anticipated, the Fund may fail to recoup its initial investment on
the security.

      During periods of rapidly rising interest rates, prepayments of
mortgage-related securities may occur at slower than expected rates. Slower
prepayments effectively may lengthen a mortgage-related security's expected
maturity. Generally, that would cause the value of the security to fluctuate
more widely in response to changes in interest rates. If the prepayments on
the Fund's mortgage-related securities were to decrease broadly, the Fund's
effective duration, and therefore its sensitivity to interest rate changes,
would increase.

      As with other debt securities, the values of mortgage-related
securities may be affected by changes in the market's perception of the
creditworthiness of the entity issuing the securities or guaranteeing them.
Their values may also be affected by changes in government regulations and
tax policies.

      o Collateralized Mortgage Obligations. CMOs are multi-class bonds that
are backed by pools of mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through certificates.
They may be collateralized by:
(1)     pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie
               Mae, or Freddie Mac,
(2)     unsecuritized mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing
               Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans'
               Affairs,
(3)     unsecuritized conventional mortgages,
(4)     other mortgage-related securities, or
(5)     any combination of these.

      Each class of CMO, referred to as a "tranche," is issued at a specific
coupon rate and has a stated maturity or final distribution date. Principal
prepayments on the underlying mortgages may cause the CMO to be retired much
earlier than the stated maturity or final distribution date. The principal
and interest on the underlying mortgages may be allocated among the several
classes of a series of a CMO in different ways. One or more tranches may have
coupon rates that reset periodically at a specified increase over an index.
These are floating rate CMOs, and typically have a cap on the coupon rate.
Inverse floating rate CMOs have a coupon rate that moves in the reverse
direction to an applicable index. The coupon rate on these CMOs will increase
as general interest rates decrease. These are usually much more volatile than
fixed rate CMOs or floating rate CMOs.

      o Forward Rolls. The Fund can enter into "forward roll" transactions
with respect to mortgage-related securities (also referred to as "mortgage
dollar rolls"). In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a
mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase
a similar security (the same type of security, and having the same coupon and
maturity) at a later date at a set price. The securities that are repurchased
will have the same interest rate as the securities that are sold, but
typically will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages (with
different prepayment histories) than the securities that have been sold.
Proceeds from the sale are invested in short-term instruments, such as
repurchase agreements. The income from those investments, plus the fees from
the forward roll transaction, are expected to generate income to the Fund in
excess of the yield on the securities that have been sold.

      The Fund will only enter into "covered" rolls. To assure its future
payment of the purchase price, the Fund will identify on its books liquid
assets in an amount equal to the payment obligation under the roll.

      These transactions have risks. During the period between the sale and
the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and
principal payments on the securities that have been sold. It is possible that
the market value of the securities the Fund sells may decline below the price
at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase securities.

      |X| "Stripped" Mortgage-Related Securities. The Fund can invest in
stripped mortgage-related securities that are created by segregating the cash
flows from underlying mortgage loans or mortgage securities to create two or
more new securities. Each has a specified percentage of the underlying
security's principal or interest payments. These are a form of derivative
investment.

      Mortgage securities may be partially stripped so that each class
receives some interest and some principal. However, they may be completely
stripped. In that case all of the interest is distributed to holders of one
type of security, known as an "interest-only" security, or "I/O," and all of
the principal is distributed to holders of another type of security, known as
a "principal-only" security or "P/O." Strips can be created for pass-through
certificates or CMOs.

      The yields to maturity of I/Os and P/Os are very sensitive to principal
repayments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgages. If the
underlying mortgages experience greater than anticipated prepayments of
principal, the Fund might not fully recoup its investment in an I/O based on
those assets. If underlying mortgages experience less than anticipated
prepayments of principal, the yield on the P/Os based on them could decline
substantially.

      |X| U.S. Government Securities. These are securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or other government agencies or
federally-chartered corporate entities referred to as "instrumentalities."
The obligations of U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities in which the
Fund can 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 instrumentality is minimal.

      o U.S. Treasury Obligations. These include Treasury bills (maturities
of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (maturities of from one to
ten years), and Treasury bonds (maturities of more than 10 years). Treasury
securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States as to
timely payments of interest and repayments of principal. They also can
include U. S. Treasury securities that have been "stripped" by a Federal
Reserve Bank, zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities described below, and
Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities ("TIPS").

      o Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities. The Fund can buy these U.S.
Treasury securities, called "TIPS," that are designed to provide an
investment vehicle that is not vulnerable to inflation. The interest rate
paid by TIPS is fixed. The principal value rises or falls semi-annually based
on changes in the published Consumer Price Index. If inflation occurs, the
principal and interest payments on TIPS are adjusted to protect investors
from inflationary loss. If deflation occurs, the principal and interest
payments will be adjusted downward, although the principal will not fall
below its face amount at maturity.

      o Obligations Issued or Guaranteed by U.S. Government Agencies or
Instrumentalities. These include direct obligations and mortgage-related
securities that have different levels of credit support from the government.
Some are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such
as Government National Mortgage Association pass-through mortgage
certificates (called "Ginnie Maes"). Some are supported by the right of the
issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances, such as
Federal National Mortgage Association bonds ("Fannie Maes"). Others are
supported only by the credit of the entity that issued them, such as Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation obligations ("Freddie Macs").

      o U.S. Government Mortgage-related Securities. The Fund can invest in a
variety of mortgage-related securities that are issued by U.S. government
agencies or instrumentalities, some of which are described below.

      o GNMA (Ginnie Mae) Certificates. The Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA") is a wholly-owned corporate instrumentality of the
United States within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
GNMA's principal programs involve its guarantees of privately-issued
securities backed by pools of mortgages. Ginnie Maes are debt securities
representing an interest in one or a pool of mortgages that are insured by
the Federal Housing Administration or the Farmers Home Administration or
guaranteed by the Veterans Administration.

      The Ginnie Maes in which the Fund invests are of the "fully modified
pass-through" type. They provide that the registered holders of the
Certificates will receive timely monthly payments of the pro-rata share of
the scheduled principal payments on the underlying mortgages, whether or not
those amounts are collected by the issuers. Amounts paid include, on a pro
rata basis, any prepayment of principal of such mortgages and interest (net
of servicing and other charges) on the aggregate unpaid principal balance of
the Ginnie Maes, whether or not the interest on the underlying mortgages has
been collected by the issuers.

      The Ginnie Maes purchased by the Fund are guaranteed as to timely
payment of principal and interest by GNMA. In giving that guaranty, GNMA
expects that payments received by the issuers of Ginnie Maes on account of
the mortgages backing the Certificates will be sufficient to make the
required payments of principal of and interest on those Ginnie Maes. However,
if those payments are insufficient, the guaranty agreements between the
issuers of the Ginnie Maes and GNMA require the issuers to make advances
sufficient for the payments. If the issuers fail to make those payments, GNMA
will do so.

      Under federal law, the full faith and credit of the United States is
pledged to the payment of all amounts that may be required to be paid under
any guaranty issued by GNMA as to such mortgage pools. An opinion of an
Assistant Attorney General of the United States, dated December 9, 1969,
states that such guaranties "constitute general obligations of the United
States backed by its full faith and credit." GNMA is empowered to borrow from
the United States Treasury to the extent necessary to make any payments of
principal and interest required under those guaranties.

      Ginnie Maes are backed by the aggregate indebtedness secured by the
underlying FHA-insured, FMHA-insured or VA-guaranteed mortgages. Except to
the extent of payments received by the issuers on account of such mortgages,
Ginnie Maes do not constitute a liability of those issuers, nor do they
evidence any recourse against those issuers. Recourse is solely against GNMA.
Holders of Ginnie Maes (such as the Fund) have no security interest in or
lien on the underlying mortgages.

      Monthly payments of principal will be made, and additional prepayments
of principal may be made, to the Fund with respect to the mortgages
underlying the Ginnie Maes held by the Fund. All of the mortgages in the
pools relating to the Ginnie Maes in the Fund are subject to prepayment
without any significant premium or penalty, at the option of the mortgagors.
While the mortgages on 1-to-4-family dwellings underlying certain Ginnie Maes
have a stated maturity of up to 30 years, it has been the experience of the
mortgage industry that the average life of comparable mortgages, as a result
of prepayments, refinancing and payments from foreclosures, is considerably
less.

      o Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) Certificates. FHLMC, a
corporate instrumentality of the United States, issues FHLMC Certificates
representing interests in mortgage loans. FHLMC guarantees to each registered
holder of a FHLMC Certificate timely payment of the amounts representing a
holder's proportionate share in:
(i)     interest payments less servicing and guarantee fees,
(ii)    principal prepayments, and
(iii)   the ultimate collection of amounts representing the holder's
               proportionate interest in principal payments on the mortgage
               loans in the pool represented by the FHLMC Certificate, in
               each case whether or not such amounts are actually received.

      The obligations of FHLMC under its guarantees are obligations solely of
FHLMC and are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

      o Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) Certificates.
Fannie Mae, a federally-chartered and privately-owned corporation, issues
Fannie Mae Certificates which are backed by a pool of mortgage loans. Fannie
Mae guarantees to each registered holder of a Fannie Mae Certificate that the
holder will receive amounts representing the holder's proportionate interest
in scheduled principal and interest payments, and any principal prepayments,
on the mortgage loans in the pool represented by such Certificate, less
servicing and guarantee fees, and the holder's proportionate interest in the
full principal amount of any foreclosed or other liquidated mortgage loan. In
each case the guarantee applies whether or not those amounts are actually
received. The obligations of Fannie Mae under its guarantees are obligations
solely of Fannie Mae and are not backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States or any of its agencies or instrumentalities other than Fannie
Mae.

      o Zero-Coupon U.S. Government Securities. The Fund may buy zero-coupon
U.S. government securities. These will typically be U.S. Treasury Notes and
Bonds that have been stripped of their unmatured interest coupons, the
coupons themselves, or certificates representing interests in those stripped
debt obligations and coupons.

      Zero-coupon securities do not make periodic interest payments and are
sold at a deep discount from their face value at maturity. The buyer
recognizes a rate of return determined by the gradual appreciation of the
security, which is redeemed at face value on a specified maturity date. This
discount depends on the time remaining until maturity, as well as prevailing
interest rates, the liquidity of the security and the credit quality of the
issuer. The discount typically decreases as the maturity date approaches.

      Because zero-coupon securities pay no interest and compound
semi-annually at the rate fixed at the time of their issuance, their value is
generally more volatile than the value of other debt securities that pay
interest. Their value may fall more dramatically than the value of
interest-bearing securities when interest rates rise. When prevailing
interest rates fall, zero-coupon securities tend to rise more rapidly in
value because they have a fixed rate of return.

      The Fund's investment in zero-coupon securities may cause the Fund to
recognize income and make distributions to shareholders before it receives
any cash payments on the zero-coupon investment. To generate cash to satisfy
those distribution requirements, the Fund may have to sell portfolio
securities that it otherwise might have continued to hold or to use cash
flows from other sources such as the sale of Fund shares.

      |X| Other Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund may buy zero-coupon and
delayed interest securities, and "stripped" securities of corporations and of
foreign government issuers. These are similar in structure to zero-coupon and
"stripped" U.S. government securities, but in the case of foreign government
securities may or may not be backed by the "full faith and credit" of the
issuing foreign government. Zero-coupon securities issued by foreign
governments and by corporations will be subject to greater credit risks than
U.S. government zero-coupon securities.

      |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 buyers
participation interest bears to the total principal amount of the loan. Not
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| Floating Rate and Variable Rate Obligations. Variable rate
obligations can have a demand feature that allows the Fund to tender the
obligation to the issuer or a third party prior to its maturity. The tender
may be at par value plus accrued interest, according to the terms of the
obligations.

      The interest rate on a floating rate demand note is adjusted
automatically according to a stated prevailing market rate, such as a bank's
prime rate, the 91-day U.S. Treasury Bill rate, or some other standard. The
instrument's rate is adjusted automatically each time the base rate is
adjusted. The interest rate on a variable rate demand note is also based on a
stated prevailing market rate but is adjusted automatically at specified
intervals. Generally, the changes in the interest rate on such securities
reduce the fluctuation in their market value. As interest rates decrease or
increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less than
that for fixed-rate obligations of the same maturity. The Manager may
determine that an unrated floating rate or variable rate demand obligation
meets the Fund's quality standards by reason of being backed by a letter of
credit or guarantee issued by a bank that meets those quality standards.

      Floating rate and variable rate demand notes that have a stated
maturity in excess of one year may have features that permit the holder to
recover the principal amount of the underlying security at specified
intervals not exceeding one year and upon no more than 30 days' notice. The
issuer of that type of note normally has a corresponding right in its
discretion, after a given period, to prepay the outstanding principal amount
of the note plus accrued interest. Generally the issuer must provide a
specified number of days' notice to the holder.

      |X| "When-Issued" and "Delayed-Delivery" Transactions. The Fund may
invest in securities on a "when-issued" basis and may 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 normally 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 until it receives the
security at settlement.

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

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

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

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

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

      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. The Fund will
not enter into a repurchase agreement that causes more than 10% of its net
assets to be subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven
days. There is no limit on the amount of the Fund's net assets that may be
subject to repurchase agreements having maturities of seven days or less.

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

        Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), the Fund, along with other affiliated entities
managed by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or
more joint repurchase accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. government securities. Securities that
are pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian
bank until the agreements mature. Each joint repurchase arrangement requires
that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of
interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party
to the agreement, retention or sale of the collateral may be subject to legal
proceedings.

      |X| Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Under the policies and
procedures established by the Fund's Board of Trustees, the Manager
determines the liquidity of certain of the Fund's investments. To enable the
Fund to sell its holdings of a restricted security not registered under the
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.

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

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

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

      Among the derivative investments the Fund can invest in are
"index-linked" or "currency-linked" notes. Principal and/or interest payments
on index-linked notes depend on the performance of an underlying index.
Currency-indexed securities are typically short-term or intermediate-term
debt securities. Their value at maturity or the rates at which they pay
income are determined by the change in value of the U.S. dollar against one
or more foreign currencies or an index. In some cases, these securities may
pay an amount at maturity based on a multiple of the amount of the relative
currency movements. This type of index security offers the potential for
increased income or principal payments but at a greater risk of loss than a
typical debt security of the same maturity and credit quality.

      Other derivative investments the Fund can use include "debt
exchangeable for common stock" of an issuer or "equity-linked debt
securities" of an issuer. At maturity, the debt security is exchanged for
common stock of the issuer or it is payable in an amount based on the price
of the issuer's common stock at the time of maturity. Both alternatives
present a risk that the amount payable at maturity will be less than the
principal amount of the debt because the price of the issuer's common stock
might not be as high as the Manager expected. Certain derivative investments
the Fund can use will require the Fund to segregate liquid assets to enable
the Fund to satisfy its obligations.

      |X| Credit Derivatives. The Fund may enter into credit default
swaps, both directly ("unfunded swaps") and indirectly in the form of a
swap embedded within a structured note ("funded swaps"), to protect
against the risk that a security will default. Unfunded and funded credit
default swaps may be on a single security, or on a basket of securities.
The Fund pays a fee to enter into the swap and receives a fixed payment
during the life of the swap. The Fund may take a short position in the
credit default swap (also known as "buying credit protection"), or may
take a long position in the credit default swap note (also known as
"selling credit protection").

      The Fund would take a short position in a credit default swap (the
"unfunded swap") against a long portfolio position to decrease exposure to
specific high yield issuers. If the short credit default swap is against a
corporate issue, the Fund must own that corporate issue. However, if the
short credit default swap is against sovereign debt, the Fund may own
either: (i) the reference obligation, (ii) any sovereign debt of that
foreign country, or (iii) sovereign debt of any country that the Manager
determines is closely correlated as an inexact bona fide hedge.

      If the Fund takes a short position in the credit default swap, if
there is a credit event (including bankruptcy, failure to timely pay
interest or principal, or a restructuring), the Fund will deliver the
defaulted bonds and the swap counterparty will pay the par amount of the
bonds. An associated risk is adverse pricing when purchasing bonds to
satisfy the delivery obligation. If the swap is on a basket of securities,
the notional amount of the swap is reduced by the par amount of the
defaulted bond, and the fixed payments are then made on the reduced
notional amount.

      Taking a long position in the credit default swap note (i.e.,
purchasing the "funded swap") would increase the Fund's exposure to
specific high yield corporate issuers. The goal would be to increase
liquidity in that market sector via the swap note and its associated
increase in the number of trading instruments, the number and type of
market participants, and market capitalization.

      If the Fund takes a long position in the credit default swap note,
if there is a credit event the Fund will pay the par amount of the bonds
and the swap counterparty will deliver the bonds. If the swap is on a
basket of securities, the notional amount of the swap is reduced by the
par amount of the defaulted bond, and the fixed payments are then made on
the reduced notional amount.

      The Fund will invest no more than 25 % of its total assets in
"unfunded" credit default swaps.

      The Fund will limit its investments in "funded" credit default swap
notes to no more than 10% of its total assets.

      Other risks of credit default swaps include the cost of paying for
credit protection if there are no credit events, pricing transparency when
assessing the cost of a credit default swap, counterparty risk, and the
need to fund the delivery obligation (either cash or the defaulted bonds,
depending on whether the Fund is long or short the swap, respectively).

      |X| Hedging. Although the Fund does not anticipate the extensive use of
hedging instruments, the Fund can use hedging instruments. It is not
obligated to use them in seeking its objective. 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. Covered calls may also
            be used to increase the Fund's income, but the Manager does not
            expect to engage extensively in that practice.

      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 are permissible under applicable regulations governing the Fund.

      o Futures. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to
debt securities (these are referred to as "interest rate futures"),
broadly-based securities indices (stock index futures and bond index
futures), foreign currencies, commodities and an individual stock ("single
stock futures"). An interest rate future obligates the seller to deliver (and
the purchaser to take) cash or a specified type of debt security to settle
the futures transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting
contract to close out the position.

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

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

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

      The Fund can invest a portion of its assets in commodity futures
contracts. Commodity futures may be based upon commodities within five main
commodity groups: (1) energy, which includes crude oil, natural gas, gasoline
and heating oil; (2) livestock, which includes cattle and hogs; (3)
agriculture, which includes wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, coffee, sugar and
cocoa; (4) industrial metals, which includes aluminum, copper, lead, nickel,
tin and zinc; and (5) precious metals, which includes gold, platinum and
silver. The Fund may purchase and sell commodity futures contracts, options
on futures contracts and options and futures on commodity indices with
respect to these five (5) 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 exchange-traded and
over-the-counter put options ("puts") and call options ("calls"), including
index options, securities options, currency options, commodities options and
options on futures.

            o Writing Covered Call Options. The Fund can buy and sell
exchange-traded and over-the-counter put options and call options, including
index options, securities options, currency options, commodities options and
options on the types of futures described above. If the Fund sells a call
option, it must be covered. That means the Fund must own the security subject
to the call while the call is outstanding, or, for certain types of calls,
the call must be covered by segregating liquid assets to enable the Fund to
satisfy its obligations if the call is exercised. There is no limit on the
amount of the Fund's total assets may be subject to covered calls the Fund
writes.

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

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

      The Fund's custodian bank, 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.

      When 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
(i.e., the option is "in the money"). When the Fund writes an OTC option, it
will treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on holding illiquid
securities) the market-to-market value of any OTC option it holds, unless the
option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker.

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

      The Fund may also write calls on a futures contract without owning the
futures contract or securities deliverable under the contract. To do so, at
the time the call is written, the Fund must cover the call by segregating an
equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets as identified in the Fund's books.
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 buy and sell exchange-traded
and over-the-counter put options and call options, including index options,
securities options, currency options, commodities options and options on the
types of futures described above. A put option on securities gives the
purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the
underlying investment at the exercise price during the option period. A put
written on debt securities must be covered by segregated liquid assets and
the Fund cannot write puts if, as a result, more than 50% of the Fund's net
assets would be required to be segregated to cover such put options.

      If the Fund writes a put, the put must be covered by liquid assets
identified in the Fund's books. The premium the Fund receives from writing a
put represents a profit, as long as the price of the underlying investment
remains equal to or above the exercise price. However, the Fund also assumes
the obligation during the option period to buy the underlying investment from
the buyer of the put at the exercise price, even if the value of the
investment falls below the exercise price.

      If a put the Fund has written expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a
gain in the amount of the premium less the transaction costs incurred. If the
put is exercised, the Fund must fulfill its obligation to purchase the
underlying investment at the exercise price. That price will usually exceed
the market value of the investment at that time. In that case, the Fund may
incur a loss if it sells the underlying investment. That loss will be equal
to the sum of the sale price of the underlying investment and the premium
received minus the sum of the exercise price and any transaction costs the
Fund incurred.

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

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

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

            o Purchasing Puts and Calls. The Fund can buy and sell
exchange-traded and over-the-counter put options and call options, including
index options, securities options, currency options, commodities options and
options on futures. When the Fund buys a call (other than in a closing
purchase transaction), it pays a premium. The Fund then has the right to buy
the underlying investment from a seller of a corresponding call on the same
investment during the call period at a fixed exercise price.

      The Fund benefits only if it sells the call at a profit or if, during
the call period, the market price of the underlying investment is above the
sum of the call price plus the transaction costs and the premium paid for the
call and the Fund exercises the call. If the Fund does not exercise the call
or sell it (whether or not at a profit), the call will become worthless at
its expiration date. In that case the Fund will have paid the premium but
lost the right to purchase the underlying investment.

      The Fund can buy puts whether or not it owns the underlying investment.
When the Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium and, except as to puts on
indices, has the right to sell the underlying investment to a seller of a put
on a corresponding investment during the put period at a fixed exercise
price.

      Buying a put on an investment the Fund does not own (such as an index
or a 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.

      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.

      When the Fund purchases a call or put on an index or future, it pays a
premium, but settlement is in cash rather than by delivery of the underlying
investment to the Fund. Gain or loss depends on changes in the index in
question (and thus on price movements in the securities market generally)
rather than on price movements in individual securities or futures contracts.

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

      o Buying and Selling Options on Foreign Currencies. The Fund can buy
and sell exchange-traded and over-the-counter put options and call options,
including index options, securities options, currency options, commodities
options and options on futures. 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 held in a
segregated account by its custodian bank) 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 maintaining cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid, high grade
debt securities in an amount equal to the exercise price of the option, in a
segregated account with the Fund's custodian bank.

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

      The Fund's option activities could affect its 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.

      oForward 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 can use 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 can also use "cross-hedging" where the
Fund hedges against changes in currencies other than the currency in which a
security it holds is denominated.

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

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

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

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

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

      However, to avoid excess transactions and transaction costs, the Fund
may maintain a net exposure to forward contracts in excess of the value of
the Fund's portfolio securities or other assets denominated in foreign
currencies if the excess amount is "covered" by liquid securities denominated
in any currency. The cover must be at least equal at all times to the amount
of that excess. As one alternative, the Fund may purchase a call option
permitting the Fund to purchase the amount of foreign currency being hedged
by a forward sale contract at a price no higher than the forward contract
price. As another alternative, the Fund may purchase a put option permitting
the Fund to sell the amount of foreign currency subject to a forward purchase
contract at a price as high or higher than the forward contact price.

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

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

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

      The costs to the Fund of engaging in forward contracts 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 Interest Rate Swap Transactions. The Fund can enter into interest
rate swap agreements. In an interest rate swap, the Fund and another party
exchange their right to receive or their obligation to pay interest on a
security. For example, they might swap the right to receive floating rate
payments for fixed rate payments. The Fund can enter into swaps only on
securities that it owns. The Fund will not enter into swaps with respect to
more than 25% of its total assets. Also, the Fund will identify on its books
liquid assets (such as cash or U.S. government securities) to cover any
amounts it could owe under swaps that exceed the amounts it is entitled to
receive, and it will adjust that amount daily, as needed.

      Swap agreements entail both interest rate risk and credit risk. There
is a risk that, based on movements of interest rates in the future, the
payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the
payments it received. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the
counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund's loss will
consist of the net amount of contractual interest payments that the Fund has
not yet received. The Manager will monitor the creditworthiness of
counterparties to the Fund's interest rate swap transactions on an ongoing
basis.

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

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

      o Regulatory Aspects of Hedging Instruments. The Commodities Futures
Trading Commission (the "CFTC") recently eliminated limitations on futures
trading by certain regulated entities including registered investment
companies and consequently registered investment companies may engage in
unlimited futures transactions and options thereon provided that the Fund
claims an exclusion from regulation as a commodity pool operator. The Fund
has claimed such an exclusion from registration as a commodity pool operator
under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA"). The Fund may use futures and
options for hedging and non-hedging purposes to the extent consistent with
its investment objective, internal risk management guidelines adopted by the
Fund's investment advisor (as they may be amended from time to time), and as
otherwise set forth in the Fund's prospectus or this SAI.

      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 mark-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.

      |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%. The Fund's portfolio turnover
rate will fluctuate from year to year, and the Fund may have a portfolio
turnover rate of more than 100% annually.

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

      |X| Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. When market conditions
are unstable, or the Manager believes it is otherwise appropriate to reduce
holdings in stocks, the Fund can invest in a variety of debt securities for
defensive purposes. The Fund can also purchase these securities for liquidity
purposes to meet cash needs due to the redemption of Fund shares, or to hold
while waiting to reinvest cash received from the sale of other portfolio
securities. The Fund's temporary defensive investments can include the
following short-term (maturing in one year or less) dollar-denominated debt
obligations:
o       obligations issued or guaranteed by the U. S. government or its
            instrumentalities or agencies,
o       commercial paper (short-term, unsecured promissory notes) rated in
            the highest rating category by an established rating
            organization,
o       debt obligations of domestic or foreign corporate issuers rated "Baa"
            or higher by Moody's or "BBB" or higher by Standard & Poor's,
o       certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances and other bank
            obligations, 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.

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

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

Other Investment Restrictions

      |X| What Are "Fundamental Policies"? Fundamental policies are those
policies that the Fund has adopted to govern its investments that can be
changed only by the vote of a "majority" of the Fund's outstanding voting
securities. Under the Investment Company Act, 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 objectives are a fundamental policy. Other
policies described in the Prospectus or this SAI 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 SAI, as appropriate. The Fund's most significant
investment policies are described in the Prospectus.

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

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

        o The Fund cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one
industry. That limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities. Under this policy,
utilities are divided into "industries" according to the services they
provide (for example, gas, gas transmission, electric and telephone utilities
will be considered to be in separate industries).  The Fund can invest more
than 25% in a group of industries.


      o The Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33 1/3% of the value of its
total assets. The Fund may borrow only from banks and/or affiliated
investment companies and only as a temporary measure for extraordinary or
emergency purposes. The Fund cannot make any investment at a time during
which its borrowings exceed 5% of the value of its assets. With respect to
this fundamental policy, 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.

      o The Fund cannot make loans except (a) through lending of securities,
(b) through the purchase of debt instruments or similar evidences of
indebtedness, (c) through an inter-fund lending program with other affiliated
funds, provided that no such loan may be made if, as a result, the aggregate
of such loans would exceed 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets (taken at
market value at the time of such loans), and (d) through repurchase
agreements.

      o The Fund cannot invest in real estate. However, the Fund can purchase
debt securities secured by real estate or interests in real estate, or issued
by companies, including real estate investment trusts, that invest in real
estate or interests in real estate.

      o The Fund cannot invest in commodities or commodity contracts.
However, the Fund may buy and sell any of the hedging instruments permitted
by its other investment policies, whether or not the hedging instrument is
considered a commodity or commodity contract, subject to the restrictions and
limitations on such investments specified in the Prospectus and this SAI.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How the Fund is Managed

Organization and History. The Fund is an open-end, diversified management
investment company with an unlimited number of authorized shares of
beneficial interest. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust
in October 1987.

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

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

o       has its own dividends and distributions,
o       pays certain expenses which may be different for the different
         classes,
o       will generally have a different net asset value,
o       will generally have separate voting rights on matters in which
         interests of one class are different from interests of another
         class, and
o       votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.

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

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

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

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

      The Fund's contractual arrangements state that any person doing
business with the Fund (and each shareholder of the Fund) agrees under its
Declaration of Trust to look solely to the assets of the Fund for
satisfaction of any claim or demand that may arise out of any dealings with
the Fund and that 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, a Review Committee and a
Governance Committee. Each committee is comprised solely of Trustees who are
not "interested persons" under the Investment Company Act (the "Independent
Trustees"). The members of the Audit Committee are Edward L. Cameron
(Chairman), George C. Bowen, Robert J. Malone and F. William Marshall, Jr. The
Audit Committee held 7 meetings during the Fund's fiscal year ended
September 30, 2005. The Audit Committee furnishes the Board with
recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund's independent registered
public accounting firm (also referred to as the "independent Auditors"). Other
main functions of the Audit Committee, outlined in the Audit Committee
Charter, include, but are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and results
of financial statement audits and the audit fees charged; (ii) reviewing
reports from the Fund's independent Auditors regarding the Fund's internal
accounting procedures and controls; (iii) reviewing reports from the Manager's
Internal Audit Department; (iv) reviewing certain reports from and meet
periodically with the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer; (v) maintaining a
separate line of communication between the Fund's independent Auditors and the
Independent Trustees; (vi) reviewing the independence of the Fund's
independent Auditors; and (vii) pre-approving the provision of any audit or
non-audit services by the Fund's independent Auditors, including tax services,
that are not prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to the Fund, the Manager
and certain affiliates of the Manager.

      The Review Committee is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The
members of the Review Committee are Jon S. Fossel (Chairman), Robert G. Avis,
Sam Freedman and Beverly L. Hamilton. The Review Committee held 6 meetings
during the Fund's fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. Among other duties, as
set forth in the Review Committee's Charter, the Review Committee reports and
makes recommendations to the Board concerning the fees paid to the Fund's
transfer agent and the Manager and the services provided to the Fund by the
transfer agent and the Manager. The Review Committee also reviews the Fund's
investment performance as well as the policies and procedures adopted by the
Fund to comply with the Investment Company Act and other applicable law.

      The Governance Committee is comprised solely of Independent Trustees.
The members of the Governance Committee are Robert J. Malone (Chairman),
William Armstrong, Beverly L. Hamilton and F. William Marshall, Jr. The
Governance Committee held 5 meetings during the Fund's fiscal year ended
September 30, 2005. The Governance Committee has adopted a charter setting
forth its duties and responsibilities. Among other duties, the Governance
Committee reviews and oversees the Fund's governance guidelines, the adequacy
of the Fund's Codes of Ethics and the nomination of Trustees, including
Independent Trustees. The Governance Committee has adopted a process for
shareholder submission of nominees for board positions. Shareholders may
submit names of individuals, accompanied by complete and properly supported
resumes, for the Governance Committee's consideration by mailing such
information to the Governance Committee in care of the Fund. The Governance
Committee may consider such persons at such time as it meets to consider
possible nominees. The Governance Committee, however, reserves sole
discretion to determine which candidates for Trustees and Independent
Trustees it will recommend to the Board and/or shareholders and it may
identify candidates other than those submitted by Shareholders. The
Governance Committee may, but need not, consider the advice and
recommendation of the Manager and/or its affiliates in selecting nominees.
The full Board elects new Trustees except for those instances when a
shareholder vote is required.

      Shareholders who desire to communicate with the Board should address
correspondence to the Board or an individual Board member and may submit
their correspondence electronically at www.oppenheimerfunds.com under the
caption "contact us" or by mail to the Fund at the address below.

Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Except for Mr. Murphy, each of the
Trustees is an Independent Trustee. All of the Trustees are also trustees or
directors of the following Oppenheimer/Centennial funds (referred to as
"Board II Funds"):

                                           Oppenheimer   Principal   Protected
Oppenheimer Cash Reserves                  Trust II
                                           Oppenheimer   Principal   Protected
Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund            Trust III
Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund           Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund
                                           Oppenheimer  Senior  Floating  Rate
Oppenheimer Equity Fund, Inc.              Fund
Oppenheimer High Yield Fund                Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund
Oppenheimer Integrity Funds                Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds
Oppenheimer International Bond Fund        Panorama Series Fund, Inc.
Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund
                                           Centennial  California  Tax  Exempt
Oppenheimer Main Street Funds, Inc.        Trust
Oppenheimer Main Street Opportunity Fund   Centennial Government Trust
Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund     Centennial Money Market Trust
                                           Centennial   New  York  Tax  Exempt
Oppenheimer Municipal Fund                 Trust
Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust      Centennial Tax Exempt Trust

      Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and
their immediate family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates,
and retirement plans established by them for their employees are permitted to
purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other Oppenheimer funds at net
asset value without sales charge. The sales charge on Class A shares is
waived for that group because of the reduced sales efforts realized by the
Distributor.

      Messrs. Gillespie, Kourkoulakos, Murphy, Petersen, Szilagyi, Vandehey,
Wixted and Zack and Mss. Bloomberg and Ives, who are officers of the Fund,
hold the same offices with one or more of the other Board II Funds. As of
December 30, 2005 the Trustees and officers of the Fund, as a group, owned of
record or beneficially less than 1% of any class of shares of the Fund. The
foregoing statement does not reflect ownership of shares held of record by an
employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other than the shares
beneficially owned under that plan by the officers of the Board II Funds. In
addition, none of the Independent Trustees (nor any of their immediate family
members) owns securities of either the Manager or the Distributor or of any
entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common
control with the Manager or the Distributor of the Board II Funds.

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

1.      "Aggregate  Compensation  From the Fund"  includes  fees and  deferred
   compensation, if any.
2.      In  accordance  with SEC  regulations,  for  purposes of this  section
   only,  "Fund  Complex"  includes  the  Oppenheimer  funds,  the  MassMutual
   Institutional  Funds,  the  MassMutual  Select  Funds  and the  MML  Series
   Investment  Fund, the investment  adviser for which is the indirect  parent
   company of the Fund's  Manager.  The Manager also serves as the Sub-Advisor
   to the following:  MassMutual Premier International Equity Fund, MassMutual
   Premier  Main  Street  Fund,  MassMutual  Premier  Strategic  Income  Fund,
   MassMutual  Premier  Capital  Appreciation  Fund,  and  MassMutual  Premier
   Global Fund. The Manager does not consider MassMutual  Institutional Funds,
   MassMutual  Select Funds and MML Series  Investment  Fund to be part of the
   OppenheimerFunds' "Fund Complex" as that term may be otherwise interpreted.
3.      Includes   $3,900   deferred  by  Ms.  Hamilton  under  the  "Deferred
   Compensation Plan" described below.
4.      Includes   $4,476   deferred  by  Mr.   Malone  under  the   "Deferred
   Compensation Plan" described below.
5.      Includes  $51,000  compensation  paid to Mr. Marshall for serving as a
   Trustee for MassMutual Select Funds and MML Series Investment Fund.

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

      Deferral of Trustees' fees under the plan will not materially affect
the Fund's assets, liabilities or net income per share. The plan will not
obligate 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 Trustees
under the plan without shareholder approval for the limited purpose of
determining the value of the Trustees' deferred compensation account.

|X|     Major Shareholders. As of July 7, 2006, the only persons or entities
who owned of record or were known by the Fund to own beneficially 5% or more
of any class of the Fund's outstanding shares were:

      outstanding).


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

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

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

|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 Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures include
provisions to address conflicts of interest that may arise between the Fund
and the Manager or the Manager's affiliates or business relationships. Such a
conflict of interest may arise, for example, where the Manager or an
affiliate of the Manager manages or administers the assets of a pension plan
or other investment account of the portfolio company soliciting the proxy or
seeks to serve in that capacity. The Manager and its affiliates generally
seek to avoid such conflicts by maintaining separate investment decision
making processes to prevent the sharing of business objectives with respect
to proposed or actual actions regarding portfolio proxy voting decisions.
Additionally, the Manager employs the following two procedures: (1) if the
proposal that gives rise to the conflict is specifically addressed in the
Guidelines, the Manager will vote the portfolio proxy in accordance with the
Guidelines, provided that they do not provide discretion to the Manager on
how to vote on the matter; and (2) if such proposal is not specifically
addressed in the Guidelines or the Guidelines provide discretion to the
Manager on how to vote, the Manager will vote in accordance with the
third-party proxy voting agent's general recommended guidelines on the
proposal provided that the Manager has reasonably determined that there is no
conflict of interest on the part of the proxy voting agent. If neither of the
previous two procedures provides an appropriate voting recommendation, the
Manager may retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Manager on how to
vote the proposal or may abstain from voting. The Guidelines' provisions with
respect to certain routine and non-routine proxy proposals are summarized
below:
o       The Fund generally votes with the recommendation of the issuer's
         management on routine matters, including ratification of the
         independent registered public accounting firm, unless circumstances
         indicate otherwise.
o       The Fund evaluates nominees for director nominated by management on a
         case-by-case basis, examining the following factors, among others:
         Composition of the board and key board committees, attendance at
         board meetings, corporate governance provisions and takeover
         activity, long-term company performance and the nominee's investment
         in the company.
o       In general, the Fund opposes anti-takeover proposals and supports the
         elimination, or the ability of shareholders to vote on the
         preservation or 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 or
         trustees.
o       The Fund supports proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.
o       The Fund opposes re-pricing of stock options without shareholder
         approval.
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
manager of the Fund is employed by the Manager and is the person who is
principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's
portfolio. Other members of the Manager's Fixed Income Portfolio Team provide
the portfolio managers with counsel and support in managing the Fund's
portfolio.

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

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

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

      The investment advisory agreement states that in the absence of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the investment
advisory agreement, the Manager is not liable for any loss the Fund sustains
in connection with matters to which the agreement relates.

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

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

     Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the Fund's
investment portfolio, Mr. Kourkoulakos also manages other investment
portfolios and other accounts on behalf of the Manager or its affiliates. The
following table provides information regarding the other portfolios and
accounts managed by Mr. Kourkoulakos as of September 30, 2005. No account has
a performance-based advisory fee:

      (1) Does not include personal accounts of portfolio managers and their
      families, which are subject to the Code of Ethics.
      (2) In millions.

      As indicated above, the Portfolio Manager also manages other funds and
accounts. Potentially, at times, those responsibilities could conflict with
the interests of the Fund. That may occur whether the investment objectives
and strategies of the other funds and accounts are the same as, or different
from, the Fund's investment objectives and strategies. For example the
Portfolio Manager may need to allocate investment opportunities between the
Fund and another fund or account having similar objectives or strategies, or
he may need to execute transactions for another fund or account that could
have a negative impact on the value of securities held by the Fund. Not all
funds and accounts advised by the Manager have the same management fee. If
the management fee structure of another fund or account is more advantageous
to the Manager than the fee structure of the Fund, the Manager could have an
incentive to favor the other fund or account. However, the Manager's
compliance procedures and Code of Ethics recognize the Manager's fiduciary
obligation to treat all of its clients, including the Fund, fairly and
equitably, and are designed to preclude the Portfolio Manager from favoring
one client over another. It is possible, of course, that those compliance
procedures and the Code of Ethics may not always be adequate to do so. At
different times, the Fund's Portfolio Manager may manage other funds or
accounts with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the
Fund, or he may manage funds or accounts with different investment objectives
and strategies.

      Compensation of the Portfolio Managers. The Fund's Portfolio
Manager is employed and compensated by the Manager, not the Fund. Under the
Manager's compensation program for its portfolio managers and portfolio
analysts, their compensation is based primarily on the investment performance
results of the funds and accounts they manage, rather than on the financial
success of the Manager. This is intended to align the portfolio managers' and
analysts' interests with the success of the funds and accounts and their
investors. The Manager's compensation structure is designed to attract and
retain highly qualified investment management professionals and to reward
individual and team contributions toward creating shareholder value. As of
September 30, 2005, the Portfolio Manager's compensation consisted of three
elements: a base salary, an annual discretionary bonus and eligibility to
participate in long-term awards of options and appreciation rights in regard
to the common stock of the Manager's holding company parent. Senior portfolio
managers may also be eligible to participate in the Manager's deferred
compensation plan.

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

      Ownership of Fund Shares. As of September 30, 2005, the
Portfolio Manager did not beneficially own any shares of the Fund.

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, that the Manager thinks, in its best
judgment based on all relevant factors, will implement the policy of the Fund
to obtain, at reasonable expense, the "best execution" of the Fund's
portfolio transactions. "Best execution" means prompt and reliable execution
at the most favorable price obtainable for the services provided. The Manager
need not seek competitive commission bidding. However, it is expected to be
aware of the current rates of eligible brokers and to minimize the
commissions paid to the extent consistent with the interests and policies of
the Fund as established by its Board of 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 both brokerage and research services to the
Fund. The commissions paid to those brokers may be higher than another
qualified broker would charge, if the Manager makes a good faith
determination that the commission is fair and reasonable in relation to the
services provided.

Brokerage Practices Followed by the Manager. The Manager allocates brokerage
for the Fund subject to the provisions of the investment advisory agreement
and other applicable rules and procedures described below.

      The Manager's portfolio traders allocate brokerage based upon
recommendations from the Manager's portfolio managers, together with the
portfolio traders' judgment as to the execution capability of the broker or
dealer. In certain instances, portfolio managers may directly place trades
and allocate brokerage. In either case, the Manager's executive officers
supervise the allocation of brokerage.

        Most securities purchases made by the Fund are in principal
transactions at net prices. The Fund usually deals directly with the selling
or purchasing principal or market maker without incurring charges for the
services of a broker on its behalf unless the Manager determines that a
better price or execution may be obtained by using the services of a broker.
Therefore, the Fund does not incur substantial brokerage costs. Portfolio
securities purchased from underwriters include a commission or concession
paid by the issuer to the underwriter in the price of the security. Portfolio
securities purchased from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked
price. In an option transaction, the Fund ordinarily uses the same broker for
the purchase or sale of the option and any transaction in the investment to
which the option relates.

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

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

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

      The investment advisory agreement permits the Manager to allocate
brokerage for research services. The research services provided by a
particular broker may be useful both to the Fund and to one or more of the
other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates. Investment research
may be supplied to the Manager by the broker or by a third party at the
instance of a broker through which trades are placed.

      Investment research services include information and analysis on
particular companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and
portfolio strategy, market quotations for portfolio evaluations, analytical
software and similar products and services. If a research service also
assists the Manager in a non-research capacity (such as bookkeeping or other
administrative functions), then only the percentage or component that
provides assistance to the Manager in the investment decision-making process
may be paid in commission dollars.

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

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

      During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003, 2004 and 2005, the
Fund paid the total brokerage commissions indicated in the chart below.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, the Fund paid $800 in
commissions to firms that provide brokerage and research services to the Fund
with respect to $838,970 of aggregate portfolio transactions. All such
transactions were on a "best execution" basis, as described above. The
provision of research services was not necessarily a factor in the placement
of all such transactions.

Distribution and Service Plans

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 payments under the Class A
plan totaled $2,431,873, of which $7,638 was retained by the Distributor
under the arrangement described above, regarding grandfathered retirement
accounts, and included $110,783 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's
parent company. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect
to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years.
The Distributor may not use payments received under the Class A plan to pay
any of its interest expenses, carrying charges, or other financial costs, or
allocation of overhead.

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

        Each plan permits the Distributor to retain both the asset-based
sales charges and the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a
periodic basis, without payment in advance. However, the Distributor
currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the
first year after Class B, Class C 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 periodically on those
shares. The advance payment is based on the net asset value of shares sold.
Shares purchased by exchange do not qualify for the advance service fee
payment. If Class B, Class C 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 registered broker-dealer. If the
investor no longer has another broker-dealer of record for an existing
account, the Distributor is automatically designated as the broker-dealer of
record, but solely for the purpose of acting as the investor's agent to
purchase the shares. In those cases, the Distributor retains the asset-based
sales charge paid on Class B, Class C 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 periodically in
lieu of paying the sales concession and service fee in advance at the time of
purchase.

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

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

Payments to Fund Intermediaries

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        For the year ended December 31, 2005, the following financial
intermediaries that are broker-dealers offering shares of the Oppenheimer
funds, and/or their respective affiliates, received revenue sharing or

Performance of the Fund

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      The maximum offering price for Class A shares includes the current
maximum initial sales charge. The maximum offering price for Class B, Class C
and Class N shares is the net asset value per share, without considering the
effect of contingent deferred sales charges. There is no sales charge on
Class Y shares.  The Class A dividend yield may also be quoted without
deducting the maximum initial sales charge.

*     The Fund began offering Class Y shares in September 2006, therefore no
  yield information is available for Class Y shares as of the fiscal year
  ended September 30, 2005.

      |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 4.75% (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.  There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.

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

ERV   l/n - 1  = Average Annual Total
               Return
 P

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

           - 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:

            - 1  = Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions
ATVDR   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. There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.  Each is based on the
difference in net asset value per share at the beginning and the end of the
period for a hypothetical investment in that class of shares (without
considering front-end or contingent deferred sales charges) and takes into
consideration the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

How to Buy Shares

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      A Letter is an investor's statement in writing to the Distributor of
his or her intention to purchase a specified value of Class A, Class B and
Class C shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds during a 13-month
period (the "Letter period"). At the investor's request, this may include
purchases made up to 90 days prior to the date of the Letter. The Letter
states the investor's intention to make the aggregate amount of purchases of
shares which will equal or exceed the amount specified in the Letter.
Purchases made by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions
and purchases made at net asset value (i.e. without paying a front-end or
contingent deferred 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 SAI and the application used for a Letter. If those terms
are amended, as they may be from time to time by the Fund, the investor
agrees to be bound by the amended terms and that those amendments will apply
automatically to existing Letters.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5.      The shares eligible for purchase under the Letter (or the holding of
which may be counted toward completion of a Letter) include:
(a)     Class A shares sold with a front-end sales charge or subject to a
            Class A contingent deferred sales charge,
(b)     Class B and Class C shares of other Oppenheimer funds acquired
            subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, and
(c)     Class A, Class B or Class C shares acquired by exchange of either (1)
            Class A shares of one of the other Oppenheimer funds that were
            acquired subject to a Class A initial or contingent deferred
            sales charge or (2) Class B or Class C shares of one of the other
            Oppenheimer funds that were acquired subject to a contingent
            deferred sales charge.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      |X|   Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the description of
the types of retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares contained in
the prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following:
o       to all rollover IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs),
o       to all rollover contributions made to Individual 401(k) plans,
            Profit-Sharing Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans,
o       to all direct rollovers from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle and
            Ascender retirement plans,
o       to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,
o       to all 90-24 type 403(b) transfers,
o       to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix C to this SAI)
            which have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor
            for that purpose,
o       to Retirement Plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the
            Internal Revenue Code, the recordkeeper or the plan sponsor for
            which has entered into a special agreement with the Distributor,
o       to Retirement Plans of a plan sponsor where the aggregate assets of
            all such plans invested in the Oppenheimer funds is $500,000 or
            more,
o       to Retirement Plans with at least 100 eligible employees or $500,000
            or more in plan assets,
o       to OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Ascender 401(k) plans that pay for the
            purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or
            more Oppenheimer funds, and
o       to certain customers of broker-dealers and financial advisors that
            are identified in a special agreement between the broker-dealer
            or financial advisor and the Distributor for that purpose.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      To access account documents electronically via eDocs Direct, please

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

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

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

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

      |X|   Securities Valuation. The Fund's Board of Trustees has
established procedures for the valuation of the Fund's securities. In general
those procedures are as follows:
o       Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or on NASDAQ(R)
are valued as follows:
(1)     if last sale information is regularly reported, they are valued at
               the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on
               which they are traded or on NASDAQ(R), as applicable, on that
               day, or
(2)     if last sale information is not available on a valuation date, they
               are valued at the last reported sale price preceding the
               valuation date if it is within the spread of the closing "bid"
               and "asked" prices on the valuation date or, if not, at the
               closing "bid" price on the valuation date.
o       Equity securities traded on a foreign securities exchange generally
are valued in one of the following ways:
(1)     at the last sale price available to the pricing service approved by
               the Board of Trustees, or
(2)     at the last sale price obtained by the Manager from the report of the
               principal exchange on which the security is traded at its last
               trading session on or immediately before the valuation date, or
(3)     at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices obtained from the
               principal exchange on which the security is traded or, on the
               basis of reasonable inquiry, from two market makers in the
               security.
o       Long-term debt securities having a remaining maturity in excess of 60
days are valued based on the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices
determined by a portfolio pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of
Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the
security on the basis of reasonable inquiry.
o       The following securities are valued at the mean between the "bid" and
"asked" prices determined by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board
of Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the
security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:
(1)     debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when
               issued,
(2)     debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued
               and have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and
(3)     non-money market debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or
               less when issued and which have a remaining maturity of 60
               days or less.
o       The following securities are valued at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts:
(1)     money market debt securities held by a non-money market fund that had
               a maturity of less than 397 days when issued that have a
               remaining maturity of 60 days or less, and
(2)     debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining
               maturity of 397 days or less.
o       Securities (including restricted securities) not having
readily-available market quotations are valued at fair value determined under
the Board's procedures. If the Manager is unable to locate two market makers
willing to give quotes, a security may be priced at the mean between the
"bid" and "asked" prices provided by a single active market maker (which in
certain cases may be the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available).

      In the case of U.S. government securities, mortgage-backed securities,
corporate bonds and foreign government securities, when last sale information
is not generally available, the Manager may use pricing services approved by
the Board of Trustees. The pricing service may use "matrix" comparisons to
the prices for comparable instruments on the basis of quality, yield and
maturity. Other special factors may be involved (such as the tax-exempt
status of the interest paid by municipal securities). The Manager will
monitor the accuracy of the pricing services. That monitoring may include
comparing prices used for portfolio valuation to actual sales prices of
selected securities.

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

      Puts, calls, and futures are valued at the last sale price on the
principal exchange on which they are traded or on NASDAQ(R), as applicable, as
determined by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees or by the
Manager. If there were no sales that day, they shall be valued at the last
sale price on the preceding trading day if it is within the spread of the
closing "bid" and "asked" prices on the principal exchange or on NASDAQ(R)on
the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the
principal exchange or on NASDAQ(R)on the valuation date. If the put, call or
future is not traded on an exchange or on NASDAQ(R), it shall be valued by the
mean between "bid" and "asked" prices obtained by the Manager from two active
market makers. In certain cases that may be at the "bid" price if no "asked"
price is available.

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

How to Sell Shares

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

Checkwriting. When a check is presented to United Missouri Bank (the "Bank")
for clearance, the Bank will ask the Fund to redeem a sufficient number of
full and fractional shares in the shareholder's account to cover the amount
of the check. This enables the shareholder to continue receiving dividends on
those shares until the check is presented to the Fund. Checks may not be
presented for payment at the offices of the Bank or the Fund's custodian
bank. This limitation does not affect the use of checks for the payment of
bills or to obtain cash at other banks. The Fund reserves the right to amend,
suspend or discontinue offering checkwriting privileges at any time. The Fund
will provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable law.

      In choosing to take advantage of the Checkwriting privilege, by signing
the account application or by completing a Checkwriting card, each individual
who signs:
(1)     for individual accounts, represents that they are the registered
         owner(s) of the shares of the Fund in that account;
(2)     for accounts for corporations, partnerships, trusts and other
         entities, represents that they are an officer, general partner,
         trustee or other fiduciary or agent, as applicable, duly authorized
         to act on behalf of the registered owner(s);
(3)     authorizes the Fund, its Transfer Agent and any bank through which
         the Fund's drafts (checks) are payable to pay all checks drawn on
         the Fund account of such person(s) and to redeem a sufficient amount
         of shares from that account to cover payment of each check;
(4)     specifically acknowledges that if they choose to permit checks to be
         honored if there is a single signature on checks drawn against joint
         accounts, or accounts for corporations, partnerships, trusts or
         other entities, the signature of any one signatory on a check will
         be sufficient to authorize payment of that check and redemption from
         the account, even if that account is registered in the names of more
         than one person or more than one authorized signature appears on the
         Checkwriting card or the application, as applicable;
(5)     understands that the Checkwriting privilege may be terminated or
         amended at any time by the Fund and/or the Fund's bank; and
(6)     acknowledges and agrees that neither the Fund nor its bank shall
         incur any liability for that amendment or termination of
         checkwriting privileges or for redeeming shares to pay checks
         reasonably believed by them to be genuine, or for returning or not
         paying checks that have not been accepted for any reason.

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

Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may
reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of:
o       Class A shares purchased subject to an initial sales charge or Class
         A shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or
o       Class B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred
         sales charge when redeemed.

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

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

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

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

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board of Trustees has the right to cause
the involuntary redemption of the shares held in any account if the aggregate
net asset value of those shares is less than $200 or such lesser amount as
the Board may fix. The Board will not cause the involuntary redemption of
shares in an account if the aggregate net asset value of such shares has
fallen below the stated minimum solely as a result of market fluctuations. If
the Board exercises this right, it may also fix the requirements for any
notice to be given to the shareholders in question (not less than 30 days).
The Board may alternatively set requirements for the shareholder to increase
the investment, or set other terms and conditions so that the shares would
not be involuntarily redeemed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

      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 SAI).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to Exchange Shares

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to
another, any special account features that are available in the new fund
(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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Additional Information About the Fund

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

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

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

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Deloitte & Touche LLP serves
as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund. Deloitte &
Touche LLP audits the Fund's financial statements and performs other related
audit services. Deloitte & Touche 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 Deloitte & Touche LLP to
the Fund must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of current income by
investing in a diversified portfolio of high-yield, lower-rated, fixed-income
securities that the Fund's investment Manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the
Manager), believes do not involve undue risk. The Fund's secondary objective is
to seek capital growth when consistent with its primary objective. 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 may be
valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service
authorized by the Board of Trustees. Securities listed or traded on National
Stock Exchanges or other domestic exchanges are valued based on the last sale
price of the security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Fund's
assets are valued. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued based on the closing
price provided by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. In
the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the
prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the closing "bid" and "asked"
prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Securities traded on foreign
exchanges are valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on
which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service,
prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. In the absence of a sale,
the security is valued at the official closing price on the principal exchange.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity
in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities

will be valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices. Futures
contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the
final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as
reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most
recently prior to, the time when the Fund's assets are valued. Securities
(including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at their fair value. Foreign and domestic securities whose
values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a
significant event occurring before the Fund's assets are valued but after the
close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued. Fair value is
determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term "money market type" debt
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost (which approximates market value).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRUCTURED NOTES. The Fund invests in structured notes whose market values,
interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked to the performance of
underlying foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, stock market indices,
prices of individual securities, commodities or other financial instruments or
the occurrence of other specific events. The structured notes are often
leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note's market value relative to the
change in the underlying linked financial element or event. Fluctuations in
value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the
accompanying Statement of Operations. The Fund records a realized gain or loss
when a structured note is sold or matures. As of March 31, 2006, the market
value of these securities comprised 1.1% of the Fund's net assets and resulted
in unrealized cumulative losses of $28,712.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS OR FORWARD COMMITMENT. Delivery and payment
for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis or
forward commitment can take place up to ten days or more after the trade date.
Normally the settlement date occurs within six months after the trade date;
however, the Fund may, from time to time, purchase securities whose settlement
date extends six months or more beyond trade date. During this period, such
securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may
increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The Fund maintains
internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the
amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when-issued
basis or forward commitment may increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset
value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining
substantially fully invested. The Fund may also sell securities that it
purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of
the original purchase. As of March 31, 2006, the Fund had purchased $29,397,749
of securities issued on a when-issued basis or forward commitment and sold
$3,603,663 of securities issued on a when-issued basis or forward commitment.


                      46 | OPPENHEIMER CHAMPION INCOME FUND



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITY CREDIT RISK. The Fund invests in high-yield securities, which may be
subject to a greater degree of credit risk, market fluctuations and loss of
income and principal, and may be more sensitive to economic conditions than
lower-yielding, higher-rated fixed-income securities. The Fund may acquire
securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose
issuers subsequently default. As of March 31, 2006, securities with an aggregate
market value of $13,135,982, representing 0.95% of the Fund's net assets, were
in default.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The Fund's accounting records are maintained in
U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and
amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign
investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New
York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each
day the Exchange is open for business. 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.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued

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

      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.

      As of March 31, 2006, the Fund had available for federal income tax
purposes an estimated capital loss carryforward of $412,850,329 expiring by
2014. This estimated capital loss carryforward represents carryforward as of the
end of the last fiscal year, increased for losses deferred under tax accounting
rules to the current fiscal year and is increased or decreased by capital losses
or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. As of
March 31, 2006, it is estimated that the Fund will utilize $13,452,563 of
capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains. During the year
ended September 30, 2005, the Fund utilized $17,433,702 of capital loss
carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

As of September 30, 2005, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes
capital loss carryforwards as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. 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


                      48 | OPPENHEIMER CHAMPION INCOME FUND



Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund's assets, liabilities or net
investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in
accordance to the Plan.

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

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CUSTODIAN FEES. "Custodian fees and expenses" in the Statement of Operations may
include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its
custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the
effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows
resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays
interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not
offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the
Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The "Reduction to custodian expenses" line item,
if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund
during the period. At March 31, 2006, the Fund had $770 of such earnings on cash
balances available to offset future custodian fees or interest expenses incurred
during the next fiscal year.

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INDEMNIFICATIONS. The Fund's organizational documents provide current and former
trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising
in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal
course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general
indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the
Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

                      50 | OPPENHEIMER CHAMPION INCOME FUND



next $500 million, and 0.50% of average annual net assets in excess of $1.5
billion. Prior to January 1, 2006 the Fund provided for a fee at an annual rate
of of 0.70% of the first $250 million of average annual net assets of the Fund,
0.65% of the next $250 million, 0.60% of the next $500 million, and 0.55% of
average annual net assets in excess of $1 billion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADMINISTRATION SERVICE FEES. 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 six months ended March 31, 2006, the Fund paid
$1,594,978 to OFS for services to the Fund.

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SERVICE PLAN FOR CLASS A SHARES. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A
shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for
services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made
periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets
of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees
to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for
providing personal services and maintenance of accounts of their customers that
hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with
respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent
periods. 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% on Class B and
Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a
service fee of 0.25% per year under 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 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 March 31, 2006 for Class B, Class C and
Class N shares were $20,551,514, $8,502,402 and $492,144, respectively. Fees
incurred by the Fund under the plans are detailed in the Statement of
Operations.

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

WAIVERS AND REIMBURSEMENTS OF EXPENSES. 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 six months ended March 31, 2006,
OFS waived $12,978 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.

      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 March 31, 2006, the Fund had no outstanding foreign currency
contracts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. FUTURES CONTRACTS

A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a
commodity or financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future
date. Futures contracts are traded on a commodity exchange. The Fund may buy and
sell futures contracts that relate to broadly based securities indices
(financial futures) or debt securities (interest rate futures) in order to gain
exposure to or protection from changes in market value of stocks and bonds or
interest rates. The Fund may also buy or write put or call options on these
futures contracts.


                      52 | OPPENHEIMER CHAMPION INCOME FUND



      The Fund generally sells futures contracts as a hedge against increases in
interest rates and decreases in market value of portfolio securities. The Fund
may also purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes as it may
be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying securities.

      Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit
either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain
percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are
made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal
to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains
and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is
closed or has expired.

      Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open
futures contracts is noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements
on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. The
Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable and/or payable for the
daily mark to market for variation margin. Realized gains and losses are
reported in the Statement of Operations as the closing and expiration of futures
contracts. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is
reported in the Statement of Operations.

      Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the
possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value
of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the
underlying securities.

As of March 31, 2006, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES

As of March 31, 2006, investments in securities included issues that are
illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are purchased in private placement
transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have
contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved by the
Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also be considered
illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not
changed for a certain period of time. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of
its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in
illiquid or restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for
resale to qualified institutional investors, are not subject to that limitation.
Securities that are illiquid or restricted are marked with the applicable
footnote on the Statement of Investments. Information concerning restricted
securities is as follows:

8. SECURITIES LENDING

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. In return, the Fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations or cash, against the loaned securities and maintains
collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned
securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned
securities is determined at the close of business of the funds and any
additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business
day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and
cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral.
Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The Fund retains a portion of
the interest earned from the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the
economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the
form of a substitute payment received from the borrower. As of March 31, 2006,
the Fund had on loan securities valued at $427,500. Collateral of $435,000 was
received for the loans, all of which was received in cash and subsequently
invested in approved instruments.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. LITIGATION

A complaint was filed as a putative class action against the Manager and the
Transfer Agent (and other defendants) in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York on January 10, 2005 and was amended on March 4,
2005. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Manager charged
excessive fees for distribution and other costs, and that by permitting and/or
participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees and the Officers of the
funds breached their fiduciary duties to fund shareholders under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and at common law. The plaintiffs sought unspecified
damages, an accounting of all fees paid, and an award of attorneys' fees and
litigation expenses.

      In response to the defendants' motions to dismiss the suit, seven of the
eight counts in the complaint, including the claims against certain of the
Oppenheimer funds, as nominal defendants, and against certain present and former
Directors, Trustees and Officers of the funds, and the Distributor, as
defendants, were dismissed with prejudice, by court order dated March 10, 2006,
and the remaining count against the Manager and the Transfer Agent was dismissed
with prejudice by court order dated April 5, 2006. The plaintiffs filed an
appeal of those dismissals on May 11, 2006.


                      54 | OPPENHEIMER CHAMPION INCOME FUND



      The Manager believes that it is premature to render any opinion as to the
likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to them, the Funds, the Directors/Trustees
or the Officers on the appeal of the decisions of the district court, and that
no estimate can yet be made with any degree of certainty as to the amount or
range of any potential loss. However, the Manager believes that the allegations
contained in the complaints are without merit and that there are substantial
grounds to sustain the district court's rulings.

                                  Appendix A

                             RATINGS DEFINITIONS

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

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

LONG-TERM RATINGS: BONDS AND PREFERRED STOCK ISSUER RATINGS

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

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

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

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

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

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

Caa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Caa" are of poor standing. Such issues
may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to
principal or interest.
Ca: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Ca" represent obligations which are
speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other
marked shortcomings.

C: Bonds and preferred stock rated "C" are the lowest class of rated bonds
and can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.

Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating
classification from "Aa" through "Caa." The modifier "1" indicates that the
obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the
modifier "2" indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates a
ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Advanced refunded
issues that are secured by certain assets are identified with a # symbol.

PRIME RATING SYSTEM (SHORT-TERM RATINGS - TAXABLE DEBT)
These ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to honor senior
financial obligations and contracts. Such obligations generally have an
original maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

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

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

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

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

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

LONG-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Issue credit ratings are based in varying degrees, on the following
considerations:
o       Likelihood of payment-capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet
      its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms
      of the obligation;
o       Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and
o       Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in
      the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the
      laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.
   The issue ratings definitions are expressed in terms of default risk. As
such, they pertain to senior obligations of an entity. Junior obligations are
typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority
in bankruptcy, as noted above.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

C:  Subordinated  debt or preferred stock  obligations rated "C" are currently
highly  vulnerable  to  nonpayment.  The "C"  rating  may be  used to  cover a
situation where a bankruptcy  petition has been filed or similar action taken,
but  payments  on this  obligation  are  being  continued.  A "C" also will be
assigned to a preferred  stock issue in arrears on  dividends  or sinking fund
payments, but that is currently paying.

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

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

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

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

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

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

N.R. Not rated.

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

Bond Investment Quality Standards

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

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

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

A-2: A short-term obligation rated "A-2" is somewhat more susceptible to the
adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.
A-3: A short-term obligation rated "A-3" exhibits adequate protection
parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances
are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation.

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

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

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

NOTES:
A Standard & Poor's note rating reflects the liquidity factors and market
access risks unique to notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely
receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most likely
receive a long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used in
making that assessment:
o       Amortization schedule-the larger the final maturity relative to other
      maturities, the more likely it will
      be treated as a note; and
o       Source of payment-the more dependent the issue is on the market for
      its refinancing, the more likely
      it will be treated as a note.

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

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

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

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

INTERNATIONAL LONG-TERM CREDIT RATINGS
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
ratings.

Investment Grade:

AAA: Highest Credit Quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation of
credit risk. They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly
unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
AA: Very High Credit Quality. "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation of
credit risk. They indicate a very strong capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to
foreseeable events.

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

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

Speculative Grade:

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


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

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

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

Entities rated in this category have defaulted on some or all of their
obligations. Entities rated "DDD" have the highest prospect for resumption of
performance or continued operation with or without a formal reorganization
process. Entities rated "DD" and "D" are generally undergoing a formal
reorganization or liquidation process; those rated "DD" are likely to satisfy
a higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated "D"
have a poor prospect for repaying all obligations.

Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating symbol to denote
relative status within the major rating categories. Plus and minus signs are
not added to the "AAA" category or to categories below "CCC," nor to
short-term ratings other than "F1" (see below).

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

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

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

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

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

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

D: Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

        OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class
A shares(1) of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge
that may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.(2) That
is because of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this document as the "Distributor"), or by
dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares to certain
classes of investors. Not all waivers apply to all funds.

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus

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

|_|     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

         1) bought shares costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of

|_|     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.

            record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan
            must have $3 million or more of its assets invested in (a) mutual
            funds, other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch
            Investment Management, L.P. ("MLIM"), that are made available
            under a Service Agreement between Merrill Lynch and the mutual
            fund's principal underwriter or distributor, and (b) funds
            advised or managed by MLIM (the funds described in (a) and (b)
            are referred to as "Applicable Investments").
         2) The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a
            daily valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are
            provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement
            Plan and Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the
            record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan
            must have $5 million or more of its assets (excluding assets
            invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable
            Investments.
         3) The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a

            employees (as determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion
            manager).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In addition to the waivers set forth in the Prospectus and in this Appendix,
above, the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for redemptions of
Class A and Class B shares of a Fund and exchanges of Class A or Class B
shares of a Fund into Class A or Class B shares of a Former Connecticut
Mutual Fund provided that the Class A or Class B shares of the Fund to be
redeemed or exchanged were (i) acquired prior to March 18, 1996 or (ii) were

Mutual Fund. Additionally, the shares of such Former Connecticut Mutual Fund

owned shares of the Fund's then-existing Class A and were permitted to

|_|     the Manager and its affiliates,
|_|     present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and
         their "immediate families" as defined in the Fund's Statement of
         Additional Information) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates,
         and retirement plans established by them or the prior investment
         advisor of the Fund for their employees,
|_|     registered management investment companies or separate accounts of
         insurance companies that had an agreement with the Fund's prior
         investment advisor or distributor for that purpose,
|_|     dealers or brokers that have a sales agreement with the Distributor,
         if they purchase shares for their own accounts or for retirement
         plans for their employees,
|_|     employees and registered representatives (and their spouses) of
         dealers or brokers described in the preceding section or financial
         institutions that have entered into sales arrangements with those
         dealers or brokers (and whose identity is made known to the
         Distributor) or with the Distributor, but only if the purchaser
         certifies to the Distributor at the time of purchase that the
         purchaser meets these qualifications,
|_|     dealers, brokers, or registered investment advisors that had entered
         into an agreement with the Distributor or the prior distributor of
         the Fund specifically providing for the use of Class M shares of the
         Fund in specific investment products made available to their
         clients, and
|_|     dealers, brokers or registered investment advisors that had entered
         into an agreement with the Distributor or prior distributor of the
         Fund's shares to sell shares to defined contribution employee
         retirement plans for which the dealer, broker, or investment advisor
         provides administrative services

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