The Supplement dated January 1, 1997 to the Prospectus is replaced by this supplement. 2. The phrase in parentheses in footnote 1 following the table in the section "Shareholder Transaction Expenses" on page 3 is revised to read as follows: "($500,000 or more for purchases by "Retirement Plans," as defined in "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge" on page 26)." 3. The fourth sentence of the section "Who Manages the Fund" on page 6 is revised to read as follows: "The Fund has a sub- adviser, David L. Babson & Co., Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), which is responsible for choosing the Fund's investments." 4. The first sentence of the second paragraph in the section "Investment Policies and Strategies" on page 10 is revised to read as follows: "The Sub-Adviser will seek to invest the Fund's assets in the securities of companies which, in its opinion, are of high quality, offer above-average dividend growth potential and are attractively valued in the marketplace." 5. The section "The Manager and Its Affiliates" on page 17 is revised to read as follows: The Manager and Its Affiliates. Since March 28, 1991, the Fund has been managed by the Manager, which handles its day- to-day business. The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the policies established by the Board of Trustees, under an investment advisory agreement which states the Manager's responsibilities. The agreement sets forth the fees paid by the Fund to the Manager and describes the expenses that the Fund is responsible to pay to conduct its business. David. L. Babson & Co., Inc. (the Sub-Adviser"), acts as the Fund's sub-adviser. The Sub-Adviser is responsible for choosing the Fund's investments and its duties and responsibilities are set forth in its contract with the Manager. The Manager, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser began managing equity assets in 1968. It became a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual") in June 1995. It advises other mutual funds and institutional clients. On January 1, 1997, the Fund's previous sub-advisor, Concert Capital Management, Inc. merged into the Sub-Advisor which assumed its contract with the Manager. The Manager has operated as an investment adviser since 1959. The Manager (including an affiliate) currently manages investment companies, including other Oppenheimer funds, with assets in excess of $62 billion as of December 31, 1996, held in more than 3 million shareholder accounts. The Manager is owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a holding company that is owned in part by senior officers of the Manager and controlled by MassMutual. The Board of Trustees of the Fund has determined that it is in the best interest of the Fund's shareholders that the Fund reorganize with and into Oppenheimer Disciplined Value Fund. The Board unanimously approved the terms of an agreement and plan of reorganization to be entered into between these funds (the "reorganization plan") and the transactions contemplated (the transactions are referred to as the "reorganization"). The Board further determined that the reorganization should be submitted to the Fund's shareholders for approval, and recommended that shareholders approve the reorganization. Pursuant to the reorganization plan, (i) substantially all of the assets of the Fund would be exchanged for shares of Oppenheimer Disciplined Value Fund, (ii) these shares of Oppenheimer Disciplined Value Fund would be distributed to the shareholders of the Fund, (iii) Oppenheimer Value Stock Fund would be liquidated, and (iv) the outstanding shares of Oppenheimer Value Stock Fund would be canceled. It is expected that the reorganization will be tax-free, pursuant to Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Fund will request an opinion of tax counsel to that effect. A meeting of the shareholders of Oppenheimer Value Stock Fund is scheduled for July 21, 1997 to vote on the reorganization. Approval of the reorganization requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund (the term "majority" is defined in the Investment Company Act as a special majority. It is also explained in the Statement of Additional Information). There is no assurance that Oppenheimer Value Stock Fund's shareholders will approve the reorganization. Details about the proposed reorganization will be contained in a proxy statement and other soliciting materials which will be mailed on or about May 23, 1997 to Oppenheimer Value Stock Fund's shareholders of record on May 2, 1997. Persons who became shareholders of the Fund after the record date for the shareholder meeting will not be entitled to vote on the reorganization. 6. The first and second sentences in the sub-section "Class A Shares" in "How to Buy Shares-Classes of Shares" on page 22 are revised to read as follows: "If you buy Class A shares, you may pay an initial sales charge on investments up to $1 million (up to $500,000 for purchases by "Retirement Plans," as defined in "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge" on page 26). If you purchase Class A shares as part of an investment of at least $1 million ($500,000 for Retirement Plans) in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds, you will not pay an initial sales charge, but if you sell any of those shares within 18 months of buying them, you may pay a contingent deferred sales charge." 7. The first and second paragraphs in the section "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge" on page 26 are revised to read as follows: There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any one or more of the Oppenheimer funds in the following cases: Purchases aggregating $1 million or more. Purchases by a retirement plan qualified under sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, by a non- qualified deferred compensation plan (not including Section 457 plans), employee benefit plan, group retirement plan (see "How to Buy Shares - Retirement Plans" in the Statement of Additional Information for further details), an employee's 403(b)(7) custodial plan account, SEP IRA, SARSEP, or SIMPLE plan (all of these plans are collectively referred to as "Retirement Plans"); that: (1) buys shares costing $500,000 or more or (2) has, at the time of purchase, 100 or more eligible participants, or (3) certifies that it projects to have annual plan purchases of $200,000 or more. Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds 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 these 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. The Distributor pays dealers of record commissions on those purchases in an amount equal to (i) 1.0% for non- Retirement Plan accounts, and (ii) for Retirement Plan accounts, 1.0% of the first $2.5 million, plus 0.50% of the next $2.5 million, plus 0.25% of purchases over $5 million. That commission will be paid only on those purchases that were not previously subject to a front-end sales charge and dealer commission. No sales commission will be paid to the dealer, broker or financial institution on sales of Class A shares purchased with the redemption proceeds of shares of a 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 addition of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment option to the Retirement Plan. 8. The second sentence in the section "Special Arrangements with Dealers" on page 27 is deleted. 9. The section "Waivers of Class A Sales Charges - Waivers of Initial and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges for Certain Purchasers" on page 28 is revised by adding the following subparagraph: (1) investment advisors and financial planners who charge an advisory, consulting or other fee for their services and buy shares for their own accounts or the accounts of their clients, (2) Retirement Plans and deferred compensation plans and trusts used to fund those Plans (including, for example, plans qualified or created under sections 401(a), 403(b) or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code), and "rabbi trusts" that buy shares for their own accounts, in each case if those purchases are made through a broker or agent or other financial intermediary that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases; and (3) clients of such investment advisors or financial planners who buy shares for their own accounts may also purchase shares without sales charge but only if their accounts are linked to a master account of their investment advisor or financial planner on the books and records of the broker, agent or financial intermediary with which the Distributor has made such special arrangements (each of these investors may be charged a fee by the broker, agent or financial intermediary for purchasing shares). 10. The section "Waivers of Class A Sales Charges - Waivers of the Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge for Certain Redemptions" on page 30 is revised to read as follows: The Class A contingent deferred sales charge is also waived if shares that would otherwise be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed in the following cases: to make Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments that are limited annually to no more than 12% of the original account value; involuntary redemptions of shares by operation of law or involuntary redemptions of small accounts (see "Shareholder Account Rules and Policies," below); if, at the time a purchase order is placed for Class A shares that would otherwise be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the dealer agrees in writing to accept the dealer's portion of the commission payable on the sale in installments of 1/18th of the commission per month ( and no further commission will be payable if the shares are redeemed within 18 months of purchase); for distributions from a TRAC-2000 401(k) plan sponsored by the Distributor due to the termination of the TRAC-2000 program. for distributions from Retirement Plans, deferred compensation plans or other employee benefit plans for any of the following purposes: (1) following the death or disability (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) of the participant or beneficiary (the death or disability must occur after the participant's account was established); (2) to return excess contributions; (3) to return contributions made due to a mistake of fact; (4) hardship withdrawals, as defined in the plan; (5) under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code; (6) to meet the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code; (7) to establish "substantially equal periodic payments" as described in Section 72(t) of the Internal Revenue Code; (8) for retirement distributions or loans to participants or beneficiaries; (9) separation from service; (10) participant-directed redemptions to purchase shares of a mutual fund (other than a fund managed by the Manager or its subsidiary) 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; or (11) plan termination or "in-service distributions", if the redemption proceeds are rolled over directly to an OppenheimerFunds IRA. 11. The reference to the "Sub-Adviser" on the back page of the prospectus is revised to read as follows: David L. Babson & Co., Inc. One Memorial Drive Cambridge, MA 02142 12. The first sentence of the last paragraph on the back page of the prospectus is revised to read as follows: "No dealer, broker, salesperson or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this Prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information, and if given or made, such information and representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Fund, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., David L. Babson & Co. Inc., or any affiliate thereof." March 4, 1997 PS0325.009 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
