ABOUT THE FUND

Additional Information About the Fund’s Investment Policies and Risks

     The investment objective and the principal investment policies of the Fund are described in the Prospectus. This SAI contains supplemental information about those policies and risks and the types of securities that the Fund’s investment Manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”) will select for the Fund. Additional explanations are also provided about the strategies the Fund may use to try to achieve its objective.

 

The Fund’s Investment Policies. The Fund’s objective is to seek the maximum current income that is consistent with stability of principal. The Fund will not make investments with the objective of seeking capital growth. However, the value of the securities held by the Fund may be affected by changes in general interest rates. Because the current value of debt securities varies inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates, if interest rates increase after a security is purchased, that security would normally decline in value. Conversely, if interest rates decrease after a security is purchased, its value would rise. However, those fluctuations in value will not generally result in realized gains or losses to the Fund since the Fund does not usually intend to dispose of securities prior to their maturity. A debt security held to maturity is redeemable by its issuer at full principal value plus accrued interest.

The Fund may sell securities prior to their maturity, to attempt to take advantage of short-term market variations, or because of a revised credit evaluation of the issuer or other considerations. The Fund may also do so to generate cash to satisfy redemptions of Fund shares. In such cases, the Fund may realize a capital gain or loss on the security.

|X|     Ratings of Securities -- Portfolio Quality, Maturity and Diversification. Under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), the Fund uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities to determine the Fund’s net asset value per share. Rule 2a-7 places restrictions on a money market fund’s investments. Under that Rule, the Fund may purchase only those securities that the Manager, under Board-approved procedures, has determined have minimal credit risks and are “Eligible Securities.” The rating restrictions described in the Prospectus and this SAI do not apply to banks in which the Fund’s cash is kept.

An “Eligible Security” is one that has been rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories by any two “nationally-recognized statistical rating organizations.” That term is defined in Rule 2a-7 and they are referred to as “Rating Organizations” in this SAI. If only one Rating Organization has rated that security, it must have been rated in one of the two highest rating categories by that Rating Organization. An unrated security that is judged by the Manager to be of comparable quality to Eligible Securities rated by Rating Organizations may also be an “Eligible Security.”

Rule 2a-7 permits the Fund to purchase any number of “First Tier Securities.” These are Eligible Securities that have been rated in the highest rating category for short-term debt obligations by at least two Rating Organizations. If only one Rating Organization has rated a particular security, it must have been rated in the highest rating category by that Rating Organization. Comparable unrated securities may also be First Tier Securities.

Under Rule 2a-7, the Fund may invest only up to 5% of its total assets in “Second Tier Securities.” Those are Eligible Securities that are not “First Tier Securities.” In addition, the Fund may not invest more than:

·     

5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer (other than the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities) or


·     

1% of its total assets or $1 million (whichever is greater) in Second Tier Securities of any one issuer.


     Under Rule 2a-7, the Fund must maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of not more than 90 days, and the maturity of any single portfolio investment may not exceed 397 days. The Board regularly reviews reports from the Manager to show the Manager’s compliance with the Fund’s procedures and with the Rule.

 

If a security’s rating is downgraded, the Manager or the Board of Trustees may have to reassess the security’s credit risk. If a security is downgraded, the Manager or the Board of Trustees will promptly reassess whether the security continues to present minimal credit risk, reassess the status of the security as an “eligible security,” and take such actions as is appropriate. If the Fund disposes of the security within five days of the Manager learning of the downgrade, the Manager will provide the Board of Trustees with subsequent notice of such downgrade. If a security is in default, or ceases to be an Eligible Security, or is determined no longer to present minimal credit risks, the Board of Trustees must determine whether it would be in the best interests of the Fund to dispose of the security.

     The Rating Organizations must be designated as nationally-recognized statistical rating organizations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Appendix A to this SAI contains descriptions of the rating categories of certain of those Rating Organizations. Ratings at the time of purchase will determine whether securities may be acquired under the restrictions described above.

 

|X|     U.S. Government Securities. U.S. government securities are obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. They include Treasury Bills (which mature within one year of the date they are issued) and Treasury Notes and Bonds (which are issued with longer maturities). All Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

     U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that issue or guarantee securities include, but are not limited to, the Federal Housing Administration, Farmers Home Administration, Export-Import Bank of the United States, Small Business Administration, Government National Mortgage Association, General Services Administration, Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, Maritime Administration, the Tennessee Valley Authority and the District of Columbia Armory Board.

 

Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities are not always backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Some, such as securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), are backed by the right of the agency or instrumentality to borrow from the Treasury. Others, such as securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality and not by the Treasury. If the securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, the purchaser must look principally to the agency issuing the obligation for repayment and may not be able to assert a claim against the United States if the issuing agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitment.

Among the U.S. government securities that may be purchased by the Fund are “mortgage-backed securities” of Fannie Mae, Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) and Freddie Mac. Timely payment of principal and interest on Ginnie Mae pass-through is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States. These mortgage-backed securities include “pass-through” securities and “participation certificates.” Both types of securities are similar, in that they represent pools of mortgages that are assembled by a vendor who sells interests in the pool. Payments of principal and interest by individual mortgagors are passed through to the holders of the interests in the pool. Another type of mortgage-backed security is the “collateralized mortgage obligation.” It is similar to a conventional bond and is secured by groups of individual mortgages.

|X|     Time Deposits and Other Bank Obligations. The types of “banks” whose securities the Fund may buy include commercial banks, savings banks, and savings and loan associations, which may or may not be members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Fund may also buy securities of “foreign banks” that are payable in U.S. dollars and are:

·     

foreign branches of U.S. banks (which may be issuers of “Eurodollar” money market instruments),


·     

U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks (which may be issuers of “Yankee dollar” instruments), or


·     

foreign branches of foreign banks.


The Fund may invest in fixed time deposits. These are non-negotiable deposits in a bank for a specified period of time at a stated interest rate. They may or may not be subject to withdrawal penalties. However, the Fund’s investments in time deposits that are subject to penalties (other than time deposits maturing in less than 7 days) are subject to the 10% investment limitation for investing in illiquid or restricted securities, set forth in “Illiquid and Restricted Securities” in the Prospectus. The Fund will buy bank obligations only from a domestic bank with total assets of at least $2.0 billion or from a foreign bank with total assets of at least $30.0 billion. Those asset requirements apply only at the time the obligations are acquired.

|X|     Insured Bank Obligations. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures the deposits of banks and savings and loan associations up to $100,000 per investor. Within the limits set forth in the Prospectus, the Fund may purchase bank obligations that are fully insured as to principal by the FDIC. To remain fully insured as to principal, these investments must currently be limited to $100,000 per bank. If the principal amount and accrued interest together exceed $100,000, then the accrued interest in excess of that $100,000 will not be insured.

|X|     Bank Loan Participation Agreements. The Fund may invest in bank loan participation agreements, subject to the investment limitation set forth in the Prospectus as to investments in illiquid securities. Participation agreements provide an undivided interest in a loan made by the bank issuing the participation interest in the proportion that the buyer’s investment bears to the total principal amount of the loan. Under this type of arrangement, the issuing bank may have no obligation to the buyer other than to pay principal and interest on the loan if and when received by the bank. Thus, the Fund must look to the creditworthiness of the borrower, which is obligated to make payments of principal and interest on the loan. If the borrower fails to pay scheduled principal or interest payments, the Fund may experience a reduction in income.

|X|     Asset-Backed Securities. These securities, issued by trusts and special purpose corporations, are backed by pools of assets, primarily automobile and credit-card receivables and home equity loans. They pass through the payments on the underlying obligations to the security holders (less servicing fees paid to the originator or fees for any credit enhancement). 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.

     Payments of principal and interest passed through to holders of asset-backed securities are typically supported by some form of credit enhancement, such as a letter of credit, surety bond, limited guarantee by another entity or supported having a priority to certain of the borrower’s other securities. The degree of credit enhancement varies, and generally applies to only a fraction of the asset-backed security’s par value until exhausted. If the credit enhancement of an asset-backed security held by the Fund has been exhausted, and if any required payments of principal and interest are not made with respect to the underlying loans, the Fund may experience losses or delays in receiving payment.

 

      The risks of investing in asset-backed securities are ultimately dependent upon 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 shorten the weighted average life of asset-backed securities and may lower their return, in the same manner prepayments of a pool of mortgage loans underlying mortgage-backed securities may shorten the average life or lower the return of those securities. However, asset-backed securities do not have the benefit of the same security interest in the underlying collateral as do mortgage-backed securities.
 

|X|     Repurchase Agreements. In a repurchase transaction, the Fund acquires a security from, and simultaneously resells it to, an approved vendor for delivery on an agreed-upon future date. The resale price exceeds the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate effective for the period during which the repurchase agreement is in effect. An “approved vendor” may be a U.S. commercial bank, the U.S. branch of a foreign bank, or a broker-dealer which has been designated a primary dealer in government securities. They must meet the 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 will occur within one to five days of the purchase. The Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement that will cause more than 10% of its net assets to be subject to repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days.

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

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the 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 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 of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Other Investment Strategies

|X|     Floating Rate/Variable Rate Obligations. The Fund may invest in instruments with floating or variable interest rates. The interest rate on a floating rate obligation is based on a stated prevailing market rate, such as a bank’s prime rate, the 90-day U.S. Treasury Bill rate, the rate of return on commercial paper or bank certificates of deposit, or some other standard. The rate on the investment is adjusted automatically each time the market rate is adjusted. The interest rate on a variable rate obligation is also based on a stated prevailing market rate but is adjusted automatically at a specified interval of not less than one year. Some variable rate or floating rate obligations in which the Fund may invest have a demand feature entitling the holder to demand payment of an amount approximately equal to the amortized cost of the instrument or the principal amount of the instrument plus accrued interest at any time, or at specified intervals not exceeding 397 days. These notes may or may not be backed by bank letters of credit.

Variable rate demand notes may include master demand notes, which are obligations that permit the Fund to invest fluctuating amounts in a note. The amount may change daily without penalty, pursuant to direct arrangements between the Fund, as the note purchaser, and the issuer of the note. The interest rates on these notes fluctuate from time to time. The issuer of this type of obligation normally has a corresponding right in its discretion, after a given period, to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the obligation plus accrued interest. The issuer must give a specified number of days’ notice to the holders of those obligations. Generally, the changes in the interest rate on those 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 having the same maturity.

Because these types of obligations are direct lending arrangements between the note purchaser and issuer of the note, these instruments generally will not be traded. Generally, there is no established secondary market for these types of obligations, although they are redeemable from the issuer at face value. Accordingly, where these obligations are not secured by letters of credit or other credit support arrangements, the Fund’s right to redeem them is dependent on the ability of the note issuer to pay principal and interest on demand. These types of obligations usually are not rated by credit rating agencies. The Fund may invest in obligations that are not rated only if the Manager determines at the time of investment that the obligations are of comparable quality to the other obligations in which the Fund may invest. The Manager, on behalf of the Fund, will monitor the creditworthiness of the issuers of the floating and variable rate obligations in the Fund’s portfolio on an ongoing basis.

n     Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agreement”) with The Goldman Sachs Trust Company, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“Goldman Sachs”), subject to the restrictions stated in the Prospectus. These loans are limited to not more than 10% of the value of the Fund’s total assets and are subject to other conditions described below. The Fund presently does not intend to lend its securities, but if it does, the value of the securities loaned is not expected to exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets. The Fund will lend portfolio securities to attempt to increase its income. Goldman Sachs has agreed, in general, to guarantee the obligations of borrowers to return loaned securities and to be responsible for certain expenses relating to securities lending. Under the Securities Lending Agreement, the Fund's securities lending procedures and applicable regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), the Fund must receive collateral from the borrower consisting of cash, bank letters of credit or securities of the U.S. government (or its agencies or instrumentalities). On each business day, the amount of collateral that the Fund has received must at least equal the value of the loaned securities. If the Fund receives cash collateral from the borrower, the Fund may invest that cash in certain high quality, short-term investments specified in its securities lending procedures. The Fund will be responsible, for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including the risk that the Fund may lose money on the investment or may fail to earn sufficient income to meet its obligations to the borrower.

The terms of the Fund’s portfolio loans must comply with all applicable regulations and with the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures adopted by the Board. The terms of the loans must permit the Fund to recall loaned securities on five business days’ notice and the Fund will seek to recall loaned securities in time to vote on any matters that the Manager determines would have a material effect on the Fund’s investment. The Securities Lending Agreement may be terminated by either Goldman Sachs or the Fund on 30 days’ written notice.

|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. Investments may be illiquid because of the absence of an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. A restricted security is one that has a contractual restriction on its resale or which cannot be sold publicly until it is registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

     Illiquid securities the Fund can buy include issues that may be redeemed only by the issuer upon more than seven days’ notice or at maturity, repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days, fixed time deposits subject to withdrawal penalties which mature in more than seven days, and other securities that cannot be sold freely due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Contractual restrictions on the resale of illiquid securities might prevent or delay their sale by the Fund at a time when such sale would be desirable. Illiquid securities include repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days, or certain participation interests other than those with puts exercisable within seven days.

 

     There are restricted securities that are not illiquid that the Fund can buy. They include certain master demand notes redeemable on demand, and short-term corporate debt instruments that are not related to current transactions of the issuer and therefore are not exempt from registration as commercial paper.

Other Investment Restrictions
 

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

·     

67% or more of the shares present or represented by proxy at a shareholder meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or


·     

more than 50% of the outstanding shares.


     The Fund’s investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other policies described in the Prospectus or this 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:

·     

The Fund cannot invest in commodities or commodity contracts;


·     

The Fund cannot invest in real estate; however, the Fund may purchase debt securities issued by companies which invest in real estate or interests therein;


·     

The Fund cannot purchase securities on margin or make short sales of securities;


·     

The Fund cannot invest in or hold securities of any issuer if those officers and trustees or directors of the Fund or its Manager who beneficially own individually more than ½ of 1% of the securities of such issuer together own more than 5% of the securities of such issuer;


·     

The Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies except insofar as the Fund may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities;


·     

The Fund cannot invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities of companies that have operated less than three years, including the operations of predecessors;


·     

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;


·     

With respect to 75% of its assets, the Fund cannot purchase securities issued or guaranteed by any one issuer (except the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities), if more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or Fund would then own more than 10% of that issuer’s voting securities;


·     

The Fund cannot concentrate investments to the extent of 25% of its assets in any industry, except for obligations of foreign banks or foreign branches of domestic banks, time deposits, other bank obligations and U.S. government securities as described in the Prospectus and SAI;


·     

The Fund cannot make loans, except that the Fund may purchase debt instruments and repurchase agreements as described in the Prospectus and SAI, and the Fund may lend its portfolio securities as described under “Loans of Portfolio Securities” in the SAI; or


·     

The Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 10% of the value of its total assets or make any investment when borrowings exceed 5% of the value of its total assets; it may borrow only as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes; no assets of the Fund may be pledged, mortgaged or assigned to secure a debt.


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). 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.

n     

Does the Fund Have Additional Restrictions That Are Not “Fundamental” Policies?


      The Fund has additional operating policies that are not “fundamental,” and which can be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.

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.

The Fund’s portfolio holdings, as of the most recent prior close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), are posted on the Fund's website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com on each business day. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than one business day after the close of trading on the NYSE on each day on which the NYSE is open. The Fund's portfolio holdings are also made publicly available no later than 60 days after the close of each of the Fund’s fiscal quarters in its semi-annual and annual report to shareholders, or in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q. Those documents are publicly available at the SEC.

     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.

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 trustee/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:

·     

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),


·     

The Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm,


·     

Members of the Fund’s Board and the Board’s legal counsel,

·     

The Fund’s custodian bank,

·     

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

·     

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

·     

Portfolio pricing services retained by the Manager to provide portfolio security prices, and


·     

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

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:

·     

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


·     

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)

·     

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:

·     

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,


·     

Response to regulatory requests for information (the SEC, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), state securities regulators, and/or foreign securities authorities, including without limitation requests for information in inspections or for position reporting purposes),

·     

To potential sub-advisers of portfolios (pursuant to confidentiality agreements),


·     

To consultants for retirement plans for plan sponsors/discussions at due diligence meetings (pursuant to confidentiality agreements),

·     

Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions (pursuant to confidentiality agreements).

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

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

Any permitted release of otherwise non-public portfolio holdings information must be in accordance with the Fund’s then-current policy on approved methods for communicating confidential information, including but not limited to the Fund’s policy as to use of secure e-mail technology.

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 Fund 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 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 1988.      

|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 or preemptive or subscription rights. Shares may be voted in person or by proxy at shareholder meetings.

The Fund currently has four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class N. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio. Each class of shares:

·     

has its own dividends and distributions,


·     

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


·     

may have a different net asset value,


·     

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


·     

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


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

n     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 of 1940, as amended (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.

n     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 Audit Committee held 5 meetings during the Fund’s fiscal year ended July 31, 2008. The Review Committee held 4 meetings during the Fund’s fiscal year ended July 31, 2008. The Governance Committee held 3 meetings during the Fund’s fiscal year ended July 31, 2008.

     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 George C. Bowen (Chairman), Edward L. Cameron, Robert J. Malone and F. William Marshall, Jr. 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 Fund’s 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 Sam Freedman (Chairman), Jon S. Fossel and Beverly L. Hamilton. 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 adequacy of the Fund’s Code of Ethics, the Fund’s investment performance as well as the policies and procedures adopted by the Fund to comply with 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, Edward L. Cameron, Beverly L. Hamilton and F. William Marshall, Jr. 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 Code 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.

     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.Edwards, Legg, , Murphy, Petersen, Vandehey, Wixted and Zack, and Mss. Bloomberg, Bullington, Ives, Ruffle and Wolf, who are officers of the Fund, hold the same offices with one or more of the other Board II Funds. As of October 31, 2008, 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) own securities of either the Manager or 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.

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

 

     |X|     Major Shareholders. As of October 31, 2008 the only persons who owned of record or were known by the Fund to own beneficially 5% or more of any class of the Fund's outstanding shares were:

 

Orchard Trust CO LLC, FBO Oppen RecordKeeperPro, 8515 East Orchard Road, Greenwood Village, CO 80111-500, which owned 54,601,929.913 Class N shares (representing 16.50% of the Fund’s Class N shares then 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.

 

Code of Ethics. 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 Fund does not have a Code of Ethics since it is a money market fund.

     |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 investments for the Fund’s portfolio and handles its day-to-day business.

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, fees to certain Trustees, legal and audit expenses, custodian and transfer agent expenses, share issuance costs, certain printing and registration costs and non-recurring expenses, including litigation costs. The management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager are calculated at the rates described in the Prospectus, which are applied to the assets of the Fund as a whole. The fees are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the Fund’s net assets represented by that class. The management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager during its last three fiscal years were:

Fiscal Year ended 7/31

Management Fee Paid to OppenheimerFunds, Inc.

2006

$3,525,290*

2007

$3,725,199*

2008

$4,727,680*

* Effective December 6, 2002, the Manager agreed to limit the Fund’s management fees to 0.40% of average net assets for each class. That expense limitation can be amended or terminated at any time without advance notice. If the management fee had not been reduced, the management fee paid for fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008 would have been $4,120,612, $4.333,025 and $ $5,353,356 respectively.

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 by reason of good faith errors or omissions in connection with matters to which the agreement relates.

     The agreement permits the Manager to act as investment adviser 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 adviser or general distributor. If the Manager shall no longer act as investment adviser to the Fund, the Manager may withdraw the right of the Fund to use the name “Oppenheimer” as part of its name.

Pending Litigation. During 2009, a number of complaints have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain other mutual funds ("Defendant Funds") advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor. The complaints naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers and trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Fund. The plaintiffs are seeking class action status on behalf of those who purchased shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The complaints against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws to the effect that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund's investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.
 
     A complaint brought in state court against the Manager, the Distributor and another subsidiary of the Manager (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the Oregon College Savings Plan Trust alleges a variety of claims, including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.
 

Other complaints have been filed in state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates, regarding the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm ("Madoff"). Those lawsuits, in 2008 and 2009, allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.

The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds' Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the individual independent Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund’s portfolio is managed by Carol E. Wolf (the “Portfolio Manager”). She is the person who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investments.

           Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the Fund’s investment portfolio, the Portfolio Manager 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 the Portfolio Manager as of July 31, 2008. No account has a performance-based advisory fee:

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

As indicated above, the Portfolio Managers also manage other funds and accounts. Potentially, at times, those responsibilities could conflict with the interests of the Fund. That may occur whether the investment strategies of the other fund or account are the same as, or different from, the Fund’s investment objectives and strategies. For example, the Portfolio Managers may need to allocate investment opportunities between the Fund and another fund or account having similar objectives or strategies, or they 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 obligations to treat all of its clients, including the Fund, fairly and equitably, and are designed to preclude the Portfolio Managers 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 Managers may manage other funds or accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are similar to those of the Fund, or may manage funds or accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are different from those of the Fund.

<     Compensation of the Portfolio Manager. The Fund’s Portfolio Manager is employed and compensated by the Manager, not the Fund. Under the Manager’s compensation program for its portfolio managers and portfolio analysts, their compensation is based primarily on the investment performance results of the funds and accounts they manage, rather than on the financial success of the Manager. This is intended to align the portfolio managers’ and analysts’ interests with the success of the funds and accounts and their shareholders. The Manager’s compensation structure is designed to attract and retain highly qualified investment management professionals and to reward individual and team contributions toward creating shareholder value. As of July 31, 2008 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 stock 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 benchmark with respect to the Fund is Lipper – Institutional Money Market Funds. Other factors considered include management quality (such as style consistency, risk management, sector coverage, team leadership and coaching) and organizational development. The Portfolio Managers’ compensation is not based on the total value of the Fund’s portfolio assets, although the Fund’s investment performance may increase those assets. The compensation structure is also intended to be internally equitable and serve to reduce potential conflicts of interest between the Fund and other funds and accounts 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 July 31, 2008, the Portfolio Manager did not beneficially own any shares of the Fund.


Brokerage Policies of the Fund

|X|     Portfolio Transactions. Portfolio decisions are based upon recommendations and judgment of the Manager subject to the overall authority of the Board of Trustees. Most purchases made by the Fund are principal transactions at net prices, so the Fund incurs little or no brokerage costs. The Fund 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. Purchases of portfolio securities from underwriters include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and purchases from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked prices.

The Fund seeks to obtain prompt execution of orders at the most favorable net price. If dealers are used for portfolio transactions, transactions may be directed to dealers for their execution and research services. The research services provided by a particular broker may be useful only to one or more of the advisory accounts of the Manager and its affiliates. Investment research received for the commissions of those other accounts may be useful both to the Fund and one or more of such other accounts. Investment research services may be supplied to the Manager by a third party at the instance of a broker through which trades are placed. It may include information and analyses on particular companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and portfolio strategy, receipt of market quotations for portfolio evaluations, analytical software systems and similar products and services. If a research service also assists the Manager in a non-research capacity (such as bookkeeping or other administrative functions), then only the percentage or component that provides assistance to the Manager in the investment decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.

The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and supplement the research activities of the Manager. That research provides additional views and comparisons for consideration, and helps the Manager obtain market information for the valuation of securities held in the Fund’s portfolio or being considered for purchase.

The Fund’s policy of investing in short-term debt securities results in high portfolio turnover and may increase the Fund’s transaction costs. However, since brokerage commissions, if any, are small, high turnover does not have an appreciable adverse effect upon the income of the Fund.

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

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

     Under the Plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to affiliates. 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 plan 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 (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 0.20% of average annual net assets of Class A shares. The Distributor does not receive or retain the service fee on Class A shares in accounts for which the Distributor has been listed as the broker-dealer of record. 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. The Distributor makes payments to plan recipients periodically at an annual rate not to exceed 0.20% of the average annual net assets consisting of Class A shares held in the accounts of the recipients or their customers.

     For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 payments under the Class A Plan totaled $1,023,481, all but $47 of which was paid by the Distributor to recipients. That included $125,356 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 quarter cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. 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, service fees (if any) and distribution fees are computed on the average of the net asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the close of each regular business day during the period. 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 for the service fee 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 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 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 asset-based sales charge and the Class N service fee 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 charges on Class B, Class C and Class N shares allow investors to buy shares without a front-end sales charge while allowing the Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares. The Fund pays the asset-based sales charges to the Distributor for its services rendered in distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares. The payments are made to the Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:

·     

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


·     

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,


·     

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


·     

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,


·     

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,


·     

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,


·     

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


·     

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


·     

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.

     The amount shown in the following table reflects a decrease in the asset-based sales charge on Class B and Class C shares, from 0.75% to 0.50% of average daily net assets per annum, effective January 1, 2003. The Fund may reinstate the full asset-based sales charge permitted under each plan at any time without advance notice. The Distributor’s sales concession rates on Class B, Class C and Class N shares sold prior to January 20, 2003 were higher than the current rates (shown on page 6 of the prospectus).

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.

·     

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


·     

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);


·     

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);


·     

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.


·     

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.


·     

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;


·     

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 FINRA. 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,

·     

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;


·     

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;

·     

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, 2007, the following financial intermediaries and/or their respective affiliates offered shares of the Oppenheimer funds and received revenue sharing or similar distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor for marketing or program support:

Performance of the Fund

Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Fund uses a variety of terms to illustrate its investment performance. Those terms include “yield,” “compounded effective yield” and “average annual total return.” An explanation of how yields and 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 web site at www.oppenheimerfunds.com. The Fund’s performance would have been lower in the absence of the fee waivers described on page 6 of the Prospectus. Those fee waivers may be withdrawn at any time.

 

     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. If the fund shows total returns in addition to its yields, the returns must be for the 1-, 5- and 10-year periods ending as of the most recent calendar quarter prior to the publication of the advertisement (or its submission for publication).

 

     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 comparisons with other investments:

·     

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 than the shares used in the model.


·     

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


·     

The Fund’s yield is not fixed or guaranteed and will fluctuate.


·     

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.


|X|     Yields. The Fund’s current yield is calculated for a seven-day period of time as follows. First, a base period return is calculated for the seven-day period by determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having one share at the beginning of the seven-day period. The change includes dividends declared on the original share and dividends declared on any shares purchased with dividends on that share, but such dividends are adjusted to exclude any realized or unrealized capital gains or losses affecting the dividends declared. Next, the base period return is multiplied by 365/7 to obtain the current yield to the nearest hundredth of one percent.

      The compounded effective yield for a seven-day period is calculated by

(1)     adding 1 to the base period return (obtained as described above),

(2)     raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and

(3)     subtracting 1 from the result.

The yield as calculated above may vary for accounts less than approximately $100 in value due to the effect of rounding off each daily dividend to the nearest full cent. The calculation of yield under either procedure described above does not take into consideration any realized or unrealized gains or losses on the Fund’s portfolio securities which may affect dividends. Therefore, the return on dividends declared during a period may not be the same on an annualized basis as the yield for that period.

|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 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% contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year period. For Class N shares, the 1% contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year period. Class N total returns may also be calculated for the periods prior to March 1, 2001 (the inception date for Class N shares), based on the Fund’s Class A returns, adjusted to reflect the higher Class N 12b-1 fees.

 

·     

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)1/n  - 1 = Average Annual Total Return

(   P  )

·     

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

Inception of Class A shares: 1/3/89.

Inception of Class B shares: 8/17/93. Because Class B convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-Year return for Class B uses Class A performance for the period after conversion.

The amounts shown in the table reflect a voluntary reduction in the management fee for the Fund effective December 6, 2002, as well as a decrease in the asset-based sales charge on Class B and Class C shares, from 0.75% to 0.50% of average daily net assets per annum, effective January 1, 2003. The voluntary management fee waiver may be removed at any time and the full asset-based sales charge permitted under each plan may be reinstated at any time without advance notice. The Distributor’s sales concession rates on Class B, Class C and Class N shares sold prior to January 20, 2003 were higher than the current rates (shown on page 6 of the Prospectus).


|X|     Other Performance Comparisons. Yield information may be useful to investors in reviewing the Fund’s performance. The Fund may make comparisons between its yield and that of other investments, by citing various indices such as The Bank Rate Monitor National Index (provided by Bank Rate Monitor) which measures the average rate paid on bank money market accounts, NOW accounts and certificates of deposits by the 100 largest banks and thrifts in the top ten metro areas. When comparing the Fund’s yield with that of other investments, investors should understand that certain other investment alternatives such as certificates of deposit, U.S. government securities, money market instruments or bank accounts may provide fixed yields and may be insured or guaranteed.

From time to time, the Fund may include in its advertisements and sales literature performance information about the Fund cited in other newspapers and periodicals, such as The New York Times, which may include performance quotations from other sources.

From time to time, the Fund’s Manager may publish rankings or ratings of the Manager (or the Transfer Agent) or 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 investor/shareholder services by third parties may compare the services of the Oppenheimer funds to those of other mutual fund families selected by the rating or ranking services. They may be based on the opinions of the rating or ranking service itself, based on its research or judgment, or based on 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,

·     

information about the performance of certain securities or commodities markets or segments of those markets,


·     

information about the performance of the economies of particular countries or regions,


·     

the earnings of companies included in segments of particular industries, sectors, securities markets, countries or regions,


·     

the availability of different types of securities or offerings of securities,


·     

information relating to the gross national or gross domestic product of the United States or other countries or regions,


·     

comparisons of various market sectors or indices to demonstrate performance, risk, or other characteristics of the Fund.

How to Buy Shares

Additional information is presented below about the methods that can be used to buy shares of the Fund. Appendix B 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.

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 Class A 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.

 

     Retirement Plans may purchase Class B shares of the Fund directly by establishing an Asset Builder Plan. The minimum initial investment for Class B Asset Builder Plans is $5,000 and the maximum initial investment is $500,000.

 

     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 your 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.

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.

     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 and 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.
 

n     

Alternative Sales Arrangements. As stated in the Prospectus, Class B, Class C and Class N shares of the Fund may only be acquired by exchange of Class B, Class C and Class N shares, respectively, of other Oppenheimer funds or directly through qualified retirement plans.


     Investors should understand that the purpose and function of the deferred sales charge and asset-based sales charge with respect to Class B, Class C and Class N shares are the same as those of the initial sales charge with respect to Class A share of Oppenheimer funds other than the money market funds. Any salesperson or other person entitled to receive compensation for selling the Fund shares may receive different compensation with respect to one class of shares than the other.
 
     The Distributor will generally not accept any order in the amount of more than $100,000 for Class B shares or $1 million or more for Class C shares on behalf of a single investor (not including dealer “street name” or omnibus accounts). That is because generally it will be more advantageous for that investor to purchase Class A shares of the Fund.
 
     Class 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.

n     

Class A Shares Subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Under a special arrangement with the Distributor, 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 one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan for more than 18 months.


<     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.

n     

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:


·     

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


·     

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


·     

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

·     

to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,

·     

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

·     

to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix B to this SAI) which have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor for that purpose,

·     

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,

·     

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,

·     

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

·     

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


·     

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


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

·     

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


·     

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


·     

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


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

|X|     Allocation of Expenses. The Fund pays expenses related to its daily operations, such as custodian fees, Trustees’ fees, transfer agency fees, legal fees and auditing costs. Those expenses are paid out of the Fund’s assets and are not paid directly by shareholders. However, those expenses reduce the net asset value 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, SAIs 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:

·

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

Determination of Net Asset Value Per Share. The net asset value per share of each class of shares of the Fund is 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.
 
     The Fund’s Board of Trustees has adopted the amortized cost method to value the Fund’s portfolio securities. Under the amortized cost method, a security is valued initially at its cost and its valuation assumes a constant amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the security. This method does not take into consideration any unrealized capital gains or losses on securities. While this method provides certainty in valuing securities, in certain periods the value of a security determined by amortized cost may be higher or lower than the price the Fund would receive if it sold the security.
 
     The Fund’s Board of Trustees has established procedures reasonably designed to stabilize the Fund’s net asset value at $1.00 per share. Those procedures include a review of the Fund’s portfolio holdings by the Board of Trustees, at intervals it deems appropriate, to determine whether the Fund’s net asset value calculated by using available market quotations deviates from $1.00 per share based on amortized cost.
 
     The Board of Trustees will examine the extent of any deviation between the Fund’s net asset value based upon available market quotations and amortized cost. If the Fund’s net asset value were to deviate from $1.00 by more than 0.5%, Rule 2a-7 requires the Board of Trustees to consider what action, if any, should be taken. If they find that the extent of the deviation may cause a material dilution or other unfair effects on shareholders, the Board of Trustees will take whatever steps it considers appropriate to eliminate or reduce the dilution, including, among others, withholding or reducing dividends, paying dividends from capital or capital gains, selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten the average maturity of the portfolio, or calculating net asset value per share by using available market quotations.
 
     During periods of declining interest rates, the daily yield on shares of the Fund may tend to be lower (and net investment income and dividends higher) than those of a fund holding the identical investments as the Fund but which used a method of portfolio valuation based on market prices or estimates of market prices. During periods of rising interest rates, the daily yield of the Fund would tend to be higher and its aggregate value lower than that of an identical portfolio using market price valuation.

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:

·     

Class A shares that were purchased by exchange of Class A shares of another Oppenheimer fund on which an initial sales charge was paid or Class A or


·     

Class B shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid.

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

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

Payments “In Kind”. The Prospectus states that payment for shares tendered for redemption is ordinarily made in cash. However, under unusual 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 persons) 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 the 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 owner(s) on the redemption document must be guaranteed as described in the Prospectus.

Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans. Investors owning shares of the Fund 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 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 such plans at any time without prior notice. Class B, Class C and Class N shareholders should not establish 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 B to this SAI).

By requesting an Automatic Withdrawal or Exchange Plan, the shareholder agrees to the terms and conditions applicable 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 automatically exchange a pre-determined amount of shares of the Fund for shares (of the same class) of other Oppenheimer funds that offer the exchange privilege 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 withdrawal 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 (the “Planholder”) who executed the Plan authorization and application submitted to the Transfer Agent. Neither the Transfer Agent nor the Fund 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 payments, 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. 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. The prospectus of each of the Oppenheimer funds indicates which share class or classes that fund offers and provides information about limitations on the purchase of particular share classes, as applicable for the particular fund. You can also obtain a current list showing which funds offer which classes of shares by calling the Distributor at the telephone number on the front cover of this SAI.

The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. Although the Fund may impose these changes at any time, it will provide you with notice of the 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, except 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:

·     

When Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund 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. Except, however, with respect to Class A shares of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals acquired prior to October 22, 2007, in which case the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the acquired shares if they are redeemed within 24 months measured from the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class A shares.


·     

When Class A shares of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals acquired prior to October 22, 2007, 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.


·     

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.


·     

When Class A shares of this Fund 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.


·     

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.


·     

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.


·     

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.


·     

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.


·     

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.


·     

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|     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 investor 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.

n     

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 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 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 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. The dividends and distributions paid by a class of shares will vary from time to time depending on market conditions, the composition of the Fund’s portfolio, and expenses borne by the Fund or borne separately by a class. Dividends are calculated in the same manner, at the same time, and on the same day for each class of shares. However, dividends on Class B, Class C and Class N shares are expected to be lower than dividends on Class A shares. That is because of the effect of the asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares.

If a dividend check or a check representing an automatic withdrawal payment is returned to the Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as undeliverable, it will be reinvested in shares of the Fund. Returned checks for the proceeds of other redemptions 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. 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 advisors 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.

n     

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

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

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

     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.
 

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

Ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Fund (and are deemed not “effectively connected income”) to foreign persons will be subject to a U.S. tax withheld by the Fund at a rate of 30%, provided the Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. The tax rate may be reduced if the foreign person’s country of residence has a tax treaty with the U.S. allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in March of each year 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. Citibank, N.A. is the custodian of the Fund’s assets. The custodian’s responsibilities include safeguarding and controlling the Fund’s portfolio securities and handling the delivery of such securities to and from the Fund. It is the practice of the Fund to deal with the custodian in a manner uninfluenced by any banking relationship the custodian may have with the Manager and its affiliates. The Fund’s cash balances with the custodian in excess of $100,000 are not protected by federal deposit insurance. Those uninsured balances at times may be substantial.
 

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG llp as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principals, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

KPMG llp serves as the independent registered public account firm of the Fund. KPMG llp audits the Fund’s financial statements and performs other related audit services. KPMG llp also acts as the independent registered public accounting firm for certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates. Audit and non-audit services provided by KPMG llp to the Fund must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

 

 

 

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves (the “Fund”), including the statement of investments, as of July 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of July 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Cash Reserves (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 the maximum current income that is consistent with stability of principal. The Fund’s investment adviser 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 the net asset value per share without any initial 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 72 months after the date of purchase.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. Securities are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined under procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the 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 purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its

purchase commitments. 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 July 31, 2008, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:
         
    When-Issued or
    Delayed Delivery
    Basis Transactions
Purchased securities
    $17,000,000
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years for federal income tax purposes.
                 
Undistributed Net   Undistributed   Accumulated Loss
Investment Income   Long-Term Gains   Carryforward1,2,3
$728,009
  $     $ 328  
1.   As of July 31, 2008, the Fund had $328 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of July 31, 2008, details of the capital loss carryforward was as follows:
         
Expiring        
2015
    $328
2.   During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
 
3.   During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
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.
| OPPENHEIMER CASH RESERVES

 


 

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended July 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007 was as follows:
                 
    Year Ended     Year Ended  
    July 31, 2008     July 31, 2007  
Distributions paid from:
               
Ordinary income
  $ 37,373,343     $ 40,067,289  
Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, 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 but may be paid at other times to maintain the net asset value per share at $1.00.
Investment Income. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
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. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

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 year ended July 31, 2008, the Fund paid $2,787,384 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 0.20% 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 these shares and servicing accounts. Under the plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B shares and Class C shares and for Class N shares,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued
the Fund pays the Distributor an annual service fees of 0.25% and an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.25%. Effective January 1, 2003, the Fund decreased the asset-based sales charge on Class B and Class C shares to 0.50% of average daily net assets per annum. The Distributor is entitled to receive a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan, but the Board of Trustees has not authorized the Fund to pay the service fees on Class B and Class C shares at this time. 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 Plans at June 30, 2008 for Class N shares were $8,393,948. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Sales Charges. Contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) do not represent an expense of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of redemptions of Fund shares prior to remittance. The CDSC retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares is shown in the table below for the period indicated.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective December 6, 2002, the Manager has agreed to limit the Fund’s management fee to 0.40% of the Fund’s average net assets for each class of shares. As a result of this limitation the Fund was reimbursed $625,676 for the year ended July 31, 2008.
     Effective January 1, 2003, the Distributor voluntarily agreed to reduce Class B and Class C Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees it is entitled to receive by 0.25% of the average annual net assets for each respective class of shares. During the year ended July 31, 2008, the Distributor waived $329,085 and $677,690 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     Transfer agent fees for all classes are limited to the lesser of 0.35% of average daily net assets or to an amount necessary to allow each class of the Fund to maintain a 7-day yield of at least approximately 0.10%. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

4. Illiquid Securities
As of July 31, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. 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. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of July 31, 2008, the Manager does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will materially impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
     In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
6. Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

Appendix A

Description of Securities Ratings

Below is a description of the two highest rating categories for Short Term Debt and Long Term Debt by the “Nationally-Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations” which the Manager evaluates in purchasing securities on behalf of the Fund. The ratings descriptions are based on information supplied by the ratings organizations to subscribers.

Short-Term Debt Ratings.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”)

The following rating designations for commercial paper (defined by Moody’s as promissory obligations not having original maturity in excess of nine months), are judged by Moody’s to be investment grade, and indicate the relative repayment capacity of rated issuers:

Prime-1: Superior capacity for repayment. Capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics: (a) leading market positions in well-established industries; (b) high rates of return on funds employed; (c) conservative capitalization structure with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset protection; (d) broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash generation; and (e) well-established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

Prime-2: Strong capacity for repayment. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

     Moody’s ratings for state and municipal short-term obligations are designated “Moody’s Investment Grade” (“MIG”). Short-term notes which have demand features may also be designated as “VMIG”. These rating categories are as follows:
 

MIG 1/VMIG 1: Denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG 2/VMIG 2: Denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample although not as large as in the preceding group.

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

The following ratings by Standard and Poor’s for commercial paper (defined by Standard and Poor’s as debt having an original maturity of no more than 365 days) assess the likelihood of payment:

A-1: Obligation is rated in the highest category. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is strong. Within this category, a plus (+) sign designation indicates the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial obligation is extremely strong.

A-2: Obligation 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.

Standard and Poor’s ratings for Municipal Notes due in three years or less:

SP-1: Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess 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.

Standard and Poor’s assigns “dual ratings” to all municipal debt issues that have a demand or double feature as part of their provisions. The first rating addresses the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest as due, and the second rating addresses only the demand feature. With short-term demand debt, Standard and Poor’s note rating symbols are used with the commercial paper symbols (for example, “SP-1+/A-1+”).

Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”)

Fitch assigns the following short-term ratings to debt obligations that are payable on demand or have original maturities of generally up to three years, including commercial paper, certificates of deposit, medium-term notes, and municipal and investment notes:

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.

Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited (“DBRS”)

R-1: Short term debt rated “R-1 (high)” is of the highest credit quality, and indicates an entity which possesses unquestioned ability to repay current liabilities as they fall due. Entities rated in this category normally maintain strong liquidity positions, conservative debt levels and profitability which is both stable and above average. Companies achieving an “R-1 (high)” rating are normally leaders in structurally sound industry segments with proven track records, sustainable positive future results and no substantial qualifying negative factors. Given the extremely tough definition which DBRS has established for an “R-1 (high)”, few entities are strong enough to achieve this rating. Short term debt rated “R-1 (middle)” is of superior credit quality and, in most cases, ratings in this category differ from “R-1 (high)” credits to only a small degree. Given the extremely tough definition which DBRS has for the “R-1 (high)” category (which few companies are able to achieve), entities rated “R-1 (middle)” are also considered strong credits which typically exemplify above average strength in key areas of consideration for debt protection. Short term debt rated “R-1 (low)” is of satisfactory credit quality. The overall strength and outlook for key liquidity, debt and profitability ratios is not normally as favorable as with higher rating categories, but these considerations are still respectable. Any qualifying negative factors which exist are considered manageable, and the entity is normally of sufficient size to have some influence in its industry.

R-2: Short term debt rated “R-2” is of adequate credit quality and within the three subset grades (high, middle, low), debt protection ranges from having reasonable ability for timely repayment to a level which is considered only just adequate. The liquidity and debt ratios of entities in the “R-2” classification are not as strong as those in the “R-1” category, and the past and future trend may suggest some risk of maintaining the strength of key ratios in these areas. Alternative sources of liquidity support are considered satisfactory; however, even the strongest liquidity support will not improve the commercial paper rating of the issuer. The size of the entity may restrict its flexibility, and its relative position in the industry is not typically as strong as the “R-1 credit”. Profitability trends, past and future, may be less favorable, earnings not as stable, and there are often negative qualifying factors present which could also make the entity more vulnerable to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.

Long Term Debt Ratings.

These ratings are relevant for securities purchased by the Fund with a remaining maturity of 397 days or less, or for rating issuers of short-term obligations.
 

Moody’s

Bonds (including municipal bonds) are rated as follows:

Aaa: Judged to be the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as “gilt edged.” 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: 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.
 

     Moody’s applies numerical modifiers “1”, “2” and “3” in its “Aa” rating classification. 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.

Standard and Poor’s

Bonds (including municipal bonds maturing beyond three years) are rated as follows:

AAA: Bonds 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: Bonds rated “AA” differ from the highest rated obligations only in small degree. A strong capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

Fitch

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.
 
     Because bonds rated in the “AAA” and “AA” categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments, short-term debt of these issuers is generally rated “F-1+”.

Appendix B
 
OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A shares2 of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge that may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.3 That is because of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this document as the “Distributor”), or by dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares to certain classes of investors. Not all waivers apply to all funds.

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus and SAI of the applicable Oppenheimer funds, the term “Retirement Plan” refers to the following types of plans:

1)     plans created or qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,

2)     non-qualified deferred compensation plans,

3)     employee benefit plans4
4)     Group Retirement Plans5
5)     403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
6)     Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”), including traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

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

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

I.     

Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases


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

     There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases may be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within 18 months (24 months in the case of shares of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals purchased prior to October 22, 2007) of the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a waiver described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the redemption). Additionally, on shares purchased under these waivers that are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the Distributor will pay the applicable concession described in the Prospectus under “Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.”6 This waiver provision applies to:

q     

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


q     

Purchases of Class A shares, prior to March 1, 2007, by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to purchase such shares at net asset value but subject to a contingent deferred sales charge prior to March 1, 2001. That included plans (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3) certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan purchases of $200,000 or more.


q     

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.

q     

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


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

2)     The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $5 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.

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

1. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term “Independent Trustees” in this SAI refers to those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund and who do not have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the distribution plan or any agreement under the plan.

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

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

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

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

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

7 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

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

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

10 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

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

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