In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund (a separate fund of Oppenheimer Integrity Funds) (the Fund) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, 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.
 
Management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Fund’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 

 
Our consideration of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of December 31, 2013.
 
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of Oppenheimer Integrity Funds and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

N-SAR EXHIBIT 77E


Pending Litigation.  Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”).  The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds.  The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed.  The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.  The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits.  On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions.  The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court.  The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.
 
Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”).  Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert 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 awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.  Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits.  None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS.  On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.  On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate.  In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement.  The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.
 
On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV.  Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees.  On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days.  On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order.  On January 7, 2014, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal order.  On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I.  The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees.  On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS.  The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees.  On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.
 
OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously.  While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI 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 mutual funds.

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.
 
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2013. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

6.           Use of Name “Oppenheimer.”
 

OFI GLOBAL hereby grants to the Trust a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use the name “Oppenheimer” in the name of the Trust and the Fund for the duration of this Agreement and any extensions or renewals thereof to the extent necessary to protect OFI GLOBAL’s rights to the name “Oppenheimer” under applicable law, such license shall allow OFI GLOBAL to inspect and, subject to control by the Trust’s Board, control the nature and quality of services offered by the Fund under such name. Such license may, upon termination of this Agreement, be terminated by OFI GLOBAL, in which event the Trust shall promptly take whatever action may be necessary to change its name and the name of the Fund and discontinue any further use of the name “Oppenheimer” in the name of the Trust and the Fund or otherwise. The name “Oppenheimer” may be used by OFI GLOBAL in connection with any of its activities, or licensed by OFI GLOBAL to any other party.
 

 
7.           Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage.
 

(a)             OFI GLOBAL is authorized, in arranging the purchase and sale of the Fund’s portfolio securities, to employ or deal with such members of securities or commodities exchanges, brokers or dealers (hereinafter “broker-dealers”),  including “affiliated” broker-dealers  (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act), as may, in its best judgment, implement the policy of the Fund to obtain, at reasonable expense, the “best execution” (prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable security price obtainable) of the Fund’s portfolio transactions  as well as to obtain, consistent with the provisions of subparagraph  (c) of this paragraph  7, the benefit of such investment information or research as will be of significant assistance to the performance  by OFI GLOBAL of its investment management functions.
 

(b)             OFI GLOBAL shall select broker-dealers to effect the Fund’s portfolio transactions on the basis of its estimate of their ability to obtain best execution of particular and related portfolio transactions. The abilities of a broker-dealer  to obtain best execution of particular portfolio transaction(s) will be judged by OFI GLOBAL on the basis of all relevant factors and considerations including, insofar as feasible, the execution capabilities  required by the transaction or transactions;  the ability and willingness of the broker-dealer  to facilitate the Fund’s portfolio transactions by participating therein for its own account; the importance to the Fund of speed, efficiency or confidentiality; the broker-dealer’s apparent familiarity with sources from or to whom particular securities might be purchased or sold; as well as any other matters relevant to the selection of a broker-dealer  for particular and related transactions of the Fund.
 

(c)             OFI GLOBAL shall have discretion, in the interests of the Fund, to allocate brokerage on the Fund’s portfolio transactions to broker-dealers, other than affiliated broker-dealers, qualified to obtain best execution of such transactions who provide brokerage and/or research services (as such services are defined in Section 28(e)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) for the Fund and/or other accounts for which OFI GLOBAL or its affiliates exercise “investment discretion” (as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(35) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and to cause the Fund to pay such broker-dealers  a commission  for effecting a portfolio transaction  for the Fund that is in excess of the amount of commission  another broker-dealer  adequately qualified to effect such transaction would have charged for effecting that transaction, if OFI GLOBAL determines, in  good faith, that such commission  is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided by such broker-dealer,  viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities of OFI GLOBAL or its affiliates with respect to the accounts as to which they exercise investment discretion.  In reaching such determination, OFI GLOBAL will not be required to place or attempt to place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and/or research services provided or being provided by such broker-dealer.   In demonstrating that such determinations were made in good faith, OFI GLOBAL shall be prepared to show that all commissions were allocated for purposes contemplated by this Agreement and that the total commissions paid by the Fund over a representative period selected by the Trustees were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund.
 

(d)             OFI GLOBAL shall have no duty or obligation to seek advance competitive bidding for the most favorable commission rate applicable to any particular portfolio transactions or to select any broker-dealer on the basis of its purported or “posted” commission rate but will, to the best of its ability, endeavor to be aware of the current level of the charges of eligible broker-dealers and to minimize the expense incurred by the Fund for effecting its portfolio transactions to the extent consistent with the interests and policies of the Fund as established by the determinations of the Board of Trustees and the provisions of this paragraph 7.
 
 

(e)             The Trust recognizes that an affiliated broker-dealer: (i) may act as one of the Fund’s regular brokers for the Fund so long as it is lawful for it so to act; (ii) may be a major recipient of brokerage commissions paid by the brokerage commissions paid by the Fund; and (iii) may effect portfolio transactions for the Fund only if the commissions, fees or other remuneration received or to be received by it are determined in accordance with procedures contemplated by any rule, regulation or order adopted under the Investment Company Act for determining the permissible level of such commissions.
 

8.             Duration.
 

This Agreement will take effect on the date first set forth above.  Unless earlier terminated pursuant to paragraph  9 hereof, this Agreement shall remain in effect from year to year, so long as such continuance shall be approved at least annually by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, including the vote of the majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, or by the holders of a “majority” (as defined in the Investment Company  Act) of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund and by such a vote of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
 

9.             Termination.
 

This Agreement may be terminated (i) by OFI GLOBAL at any time without penalty upon sixty days’ written notice to the Trust (which notice may be waived by the Trust); or (ii) by the Trust at any time without penalty upon sixty days’ written notice to OFI GLOBAL (which notice may be waived by OFI GLOBAL) provided that such termination by the Trust shall be directed or approved by the vote of a majority of all of the Trustees of the Trust then in office or by the vote of the holders of a “majority” of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund (as defined in the Investment Company Act).
 

10.             Assignment or Amendment.
 

This Agreement may not be amended or the rights of OFI GLOBAL hereunder sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise in any manner encumbered without the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of the “majority” of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.  This Agreement shall automatically and immediately terminate in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the Investment Company Act).
 

11.             Disclaimer of Shareholder or Trustee Liability.
 

OFI GLOBAL understands and agrees that the obligations of the Trust or the Fund under this Agreement are not binding upon any trustee or shareholder of the Trust or the Fund personally, but bind only the Trust and the Trust’s property.  OFI GLOBAL represents that it has notice of the provisions of the Declaration of Trust of the Trust disclaiming shareholder or trustee liability for acts or obligations of the Trust.


 
 

 


 
12.            Definitions.
 

The terms and provisions of the Agreement shall be interpreted and defined in a manner consistent with the provisions and definitions contained in the Investment Company Act.
