Oppenheimer Series Fund, Inc. Supplement dated March 18, 1996 to the Statement of Additional Information dated October 1, 1995 The Statement of Additional Information is amended as follows: 1. Effective March 1, 1996, the Company's investment adviser (the "Manager") is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and the Company's address is Two World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048-0203. Effective March 18, 1996, the Company's telephone number is 1-800-525-7048, its transfer agent is OppenheimerFunds Services, at P.O. Box 5270, Denver, Colorado 80217, and its Distributor is OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., Two World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048-0203. 2. Effective March 18, 1996, the name of the Company is changed to Oppenheimer Series Fund, Inc. and the names of the following series are changed: Connecticut Mutual Total Return Account is Oppenheimer Disciplined Allocation Fund ("Disciplined Allocation Fund"); Connecticut Mutual Growth Account is Oppenheimer Disciplined Value Fund ("Disciplined Value Fund"); CMIA LifeSpan Balanced Account is Oppenheimer LifeSpan Balanced Fund ("LifeSpan Balanced Fund") CMIA LifeSpan Diversified Income Account is Oppenheimer LifeSpan Income Fund ("LifeSpan Income Fund"); and CMIA LifeSpan Capital Appreciation Account is Oppenheimer LifeSpan Growth Fund ("LifeSpan Growth Fund") (the latter three funds are collectively referred to as the "LifeSpan Funds"). The names of the Liquid Account, Government Securities Account and Income Account are not changed. 3. Effective March 1, 1996, Babson -- Stewart Ivory International replaced Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc. as the subadvisor to the LifeSpan Balanced Fund and the LifeSpan Growth Fund. 4. Effective March 18, 1996, the section entitled "Management," starting on page B-30, is revised as follows: Certain officers of the Company have resigned and the following persons have been elected by the Board of Directors to hold the offices set forth after their names: Bridget A. Macaskill, Age 47, President Peter Antos, Vice President Michael Strathearn, Vice President Stephen Libera, Vice President Kenneth White, Vice President Andrew J. Donohue, Age 45, Secretary George C. Bowen, Age 58, Treasurer Linda M. Napoli, Age 38, Assistant Treasurer Robert J. Bishop, Age 36, Assistant Treasurer Scott Farrar, Age 29, Assistant Treasurer Robert G. Zack, Age 47, Assistant Secretary The references on page B-37 to the prior investment adviser's (1) agreement to limit aggregate ordinary operating expenses of the Liquid Account, Government Securities Account, Income Account, Disciplined Value Fund and Disciplined Allocation Fund and (2) voluntary, temporary agreement to limit expenses of the LifeSpan Funds are deleted. 5. Effective March 18, 1996, the section "Distribution Financing Plans" starting on page B-40 is revised to reflect that the Class B Plan of each Fund authorizes the respective Fund to compensate the Distributor for its services in distributing Class B shares of the fund and servicing accounts. The fee under each Class B Plan consists of a service fee of 0.25% of average annual net assets of Class B shares and an asset-based sales charge of 0.75% of average annual net assets of Class B shares. The Liquid Account Plan referred to starting on page B-41 has been terminated by the Board of Directors effective March 18, 1996. 6. "Transfer Agent Services" on page B-58 is revised by deleting all references to NFDS and substituting OppenheimerFunds Services in all references to the transfer agent. OppenheimerFunds Services acts on an "at-cost" basis to the Funds. 7. The section "Other Information," starting on page B-58, is deleted. 8. The following is added in "Purchase and Redemption of Shares" starting on Page B-45: Reduced Sales Charges. As discussed in the Supplement dated March 18, 1996, to the Prospectus, a reduced sales charge rate may be obtained for Class A shares under the Right of Accumulation and Letters of Intent because of the economies of sales efforts and reduction of expenses realized by the Distributor, dealers and brokers in making such sales. No sales charge is imposed in certain other circumstances described in that Supplement because the Distributor incurs little or no selling expenses. The term "immediate family" refer's to one's spouse, children, grandchildren, grandparents, parents, parents- in-law, brothers and sisters, sons- and daughters-in-law, a sibling's spouse and a spouse's siblings. Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans. Investors owning shares of a Fund valued at $5,000 or more can authorize the Transfer Agent to redeems shares (minimum $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 the 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 and sent to the address of record for the account (and if the address has not changed in the prior 30 days). Required minimum distributions from OppenheimerFunds retirement plans cannot be arranged on this basis. Payments are normally made by check, but shareholders having AccountLink privileges may arrange to have Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments transferred to the bank account designated on the application used to buy shares or by signature-guaranteed instructions. The Funds cannot guarantee receipt of a payment on the date requested and reserve the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering such plans at any time without prior notice. Because of the sales charge assessed on Class A purchases, shareholders should not make regular additional Class A share purchases while participating in an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Class B shareholders normally should not establish withdrawal plans because of the imposition of the Class B contingent deferred sales charge on such withdrawals (except if the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is waived as described elsewhere). Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of (1) Class A shares that you purchased subject to an initial sales charge or the Class A contingent deferred sales charge when you redeemed them, or (2) Class B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred sales charge when you redeemed them. The reinvestment may be made without sales charge only in Class A shares of one of the Funds or any of the other Oppenheimer funds, at the net asset value next computed after the Transfer Agent receives the reinvestment order. The Funds may suspend, amend or cease offering this reinvestment privilege at any time as to shares redeemed after the date of such amendment, cessation or suspension. Retirement Accounts. Requests for distributions from OppenheimerFunds retirement plans such as IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial plans, 401(k) plans, or pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to "Trustee, Oppenheimer funds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its address listed in this supplement. 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 Funds' other redemption requirements. Participants (other than self-employed persons maintaining a plan account in their own name) in OppenheimerFunds pension, profit-sharing or 401(k) plans may not directly redeem or exchange shares held for their accounts under those plans. The employer or plan administrator must sign the request. Special Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers. The Distributor is the Funds' agent to repurchase their shares from authorized dealers and brokers. The repurchase price per share will be the net asset value per share next computed after the Distributor receives the order placed by the dealer or broker, except that if the Distributor receives a repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the close of The New York Stock Exchange on a regular business day, it will be processed at that day's net asset value if the order was received by the dealer or broker from its customer prior to the time the Exchange closes and was transmitted to and received by the Distributor prior to its close of business that day (normally 5:00 P.M., New York time). 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, with the signature(s) of the registered owners guaranteed on the redemption document as described in the supplement to the Prospectus. Exchanges of Shares. Until further notice, exchanges are limited to those Funds named on page 1 of this supplement. The Funds reserve the right to reject telephone or written exchange requests submitted by anyone on behalf of more than one account. The Funds may accept requests for exchanges of up to 50 accounts per day from representatives of authorized dealers that qualify for this privilege. When exchanging shares by telephone, a shareholder must either have an account in, or obtain and acknowledge receipt of a prospectus of, the fund to which the exchange is to be made. For full or partial exchanges of an account made by telephone, all special account features such as Asset Builder Plans, Automatic Withdrawal Plans, and retirement plan contributions will be switched to the new account unless the Transfer Agent is instructed otherwise. 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. 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 the immediate transfer of the redemption proceeds. The Funds reserve the right, in their discretion, to refuse any exchange request that might disadvantage them (for example, if the receipt of multiple exchange requests from a single dealer might require the disposition of portfolio securities at a time or at a price that might be disadvantageous to the Fund). Payments "In Kind." Normally, payment for shares tendered for redemption is made in cash. However, the Board of Directors of the Fund may determine that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders of a 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 securities from the portfolio of the Fund, in lieu of cash, in conformity with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Funds have elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company Act, pursuant to which a 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. March 18, 1996 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
