Period Ending 4-30-08 Exhibit 77 E A complaint was filed as a putative class action against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. ("OFI"), OppenheimerFunds Services ("OFS") and OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc.

The plaintiffs sought unspecified damages, an accounting of all fees paid, and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses. Seven of the eight counts in the complaint, including the claims against certain of the Oppenheimer funds, as nominal defendants, and against certain present and former Directors, Trustees and officers of the funds, and OFDI, as defendants, were dismissed with prejudice, by court order dated March 10, 2006, in response to motions to dismiss the suit that had been filed by the defendants. The remaining count against OFI and OFS was dismissed with prejudice by court order dated April 5, 2006. On May 11, 2006, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the March 10 and April 5 decisions with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
