497 1 OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND Supplement Dated March 31, 1995 to the Prospectus Dated November 1, 1994 The Prospectus is amended as follows: 1. Under "Expenses" on page 2, the chart "Shareholder Transaction Expenses" is amended by deleting the references to the $5.00 fee for "Exchanges" and inserting "None" on that line under the headings for Class A Shares and Class B Shares; footnote 2 is deleted from that chart. 2. Under "How Much Do You Plan to Invest?" in "How to Buy Shares," the third paragraph of that subsection, which is on page 16, is replaced by the following: For most investors who invest $500,000 or more, in most cases Class A shares will be the more advantageous choice, no matter how long you intend to hold your shares. For that reason, the Distributor normally will not accept purchase orders of $500,000 or more for Class B shares from a single investor. 3. The subheading "Telephone Redemptions Through AccountLink" on page 24 under "How To Sell Shares" is amended to read "Telephone Redemptions Through AccountLink or By Wire," and a second paragraph is added to that sub-section as follows: Shareholders may also have the Transfer Agent send redemption proceeds of $2,500 or more by Federal Funds wire to a designated commercial bank account. The bank must be a member of the Federal Reserve wire system. To place a wire redemption request, call the Transfer Agent at 1-800-852-8457. The wire will normally be transmitted on the next bank business day after the shares are redeemed. There is a possibility that the wire may be delayed up to seven days to enable the Fund to sell securities to pay the redemption proceeds. No dividends are accrued or paid on the proceeds of shares that have been redeemed and are awaiting transmittal by wire. To establish wire redemption privileges on an account that is already established, please contact the Transfer Agent for instructions. 5. In the first paragraph of the section "How To Exchange Shares" on page 24, the second and third sentences are deleted. March 31, 1995
