NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS March 31, 2019 Unaudited

1. Organization
Oppenheimer Preferred Securities and Income Fund (the “Fund”), is a separate fund of
Oppenheimer Integrity Funds, a diversified open-end management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s
investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global
Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-
advisory agreement with OFI. The Fund commenced operations on February 12, 2018.

2. Securities Valuation
The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time, on each day
the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange" or "NYSE") is open for trading, except in the
case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net
asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.
    The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities
and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those
procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is
responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are
not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to
review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at least quarterly or more frequently, if
necessary.

Valuation Methods and Inputs
Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as
supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.
    The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the
types of securities described below:
    Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives
other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the official closing price on the
principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the
time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security
is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no sales
occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-
the-counter equity securities are valued at the last published sale price, or if no sales occurred,
at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of
trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities
to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. 
    Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued
at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
    Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt
securities, short-term notes, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations,
and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing

6 OPPENHEIMER PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND


 

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)
evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use
matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices. Pricing services generally price debt
securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, but some trades
may occur in smaller, “odd lot” sizes, sometimes at lower prices than institutional round lot
trades. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include reported
trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable
securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, as well as other appropriate factors.     
    Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will
be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as
reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to,
the time when the Fund's assets are valued.
    Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or when a significant event
has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, are fair valued either (i) by
a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant
event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as
determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee
considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information
or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those
standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at
the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes
in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes
in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related
to security-specific resale restrictions.When possible, such methodologies use observable
market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest
rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it
be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the
security.

Classifications
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based
on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation.Various data inputs may be used
in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end.
These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial
accounting standards:
1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or
liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs
such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated
with investing in those securities.
    The Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly
offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are classified as
Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

3. Investments and Risks
Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds
advised by the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”).Affiliated Funds
are management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. Unless
otherwise stated, the Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides
investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds.When applicable, the Fund's
investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of
Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share.As a shareholder, the Fund is
subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their management
fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the
indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in the Affiliated Funds.
    Each of the Affiliated Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and
those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the

3. Investments and Risks (Continued)
Fund’s shares.To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Affiliated Fund
than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free
cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The
Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer
Institutional Government Money Market Fund ("IGMMF"), which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF
is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also
invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market
funds.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase
securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed
delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms
and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for
immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund
on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two
years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are
subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery.The
purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund's net
asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially
fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it
relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do
so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price
and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a
when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.

At period end, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis as follows:

    When-Issued or 
    Delayed Delivery 
    Basis Transactions 
Purchased securities  $ 51,000 

 

Restricted Securities. At period end, investments in securities included issues that are
restricted. A restricted security may have a contractual restriction on its resale and is valued
under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. Securities that are
restricted are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments. Restricted
securities are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments.

Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price.The value of the
Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets
may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets

NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS Unaudited / Continued

3. Investments and Risks (Continued)
may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite
direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or
fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
    The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at
the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities.
These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers,
litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or
industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

4. Market Risk Factors
The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to
various market risk factors:
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or
commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market.
Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of
assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of debt to meet interest and
principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield debt
securities are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality
securities.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to
increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the
U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar
value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates
against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates
against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income
securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an
increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued
fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their
value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields,
are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than
obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the
direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period.
Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period
typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price
typically indicate lower volatility risk.

5. Use of Derivatives
The Fund’s investment objective not only permits the Fund to purchase investment securities,
it also allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but
not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps,
interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options.
In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase,
decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments
may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to
make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market
factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”)
transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.
    Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value
exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due
to changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage
allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can
substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is
using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by
the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in
losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited
loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.
    Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could
have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund.Typically, the
associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure
to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives.
Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be
able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk,
which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.
    The Fund's actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the
period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.

Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial
instrument or currency at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy
and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures
contracts. Futures contracts and options thereon are generally entered into on a regulated
futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.
    Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or
securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value
in an account registered in the futures commission merchant’s name. Subsequent payments
(variation margin) are paid to or from the futures commission merchant each day equal to
the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains
and losses. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the futures
commission merchant can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment

5. Use of Derivatives (Continued)
obligations.
    Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments.
Securities held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on
open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by a futures
commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the
receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the annual and semiannual reports. The net change
in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations in
the annual and semiannual reports. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement
of Operations in the annual and semiannual reports at the closing or expiration of futures
contracts.
    The Fund may purchase and/or sell financial futures contracts and options on futures
contracts to gain exposure to, or decrease exposure to interest rate risk, equity risk, foreign
exchange rate risk, volatility risk, or commodity risk. 
    During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of
$122,676 on futures contracts sold.
    Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include
the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the
contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the
price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty
will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions
with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the
transaction.
    For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative
liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in
the annual and semiannual reports. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction
may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency
or other events.
    The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared
through a clearinghouse and for centrally cleared swaps is generally considered lower than
as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial
and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant,
broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for centrally
cleared swaps.
    With respect to centrally cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing,
and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are
members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses
are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker,
futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and
at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker,

5. Use of Derivatives (Continued)
futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will
typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission
merchant’s or clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
    There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to
clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination
fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction.
Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate centrally cleared swaps at any time. The
Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly
use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment
obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or
futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from
the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for
all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.
    Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are
established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-
traded and cleared derivatives, including centrally cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission
merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or
increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.
    For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations
of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the
annual and semiannual reports as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged
by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of
collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g.,
$250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its
counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of
loss from counterparty nonperformance.

6. Pending Acquisition
On October 18, 2018, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, an indirect corporate
parent of the Sub-Adviser and the Manager, announced that it has entered into an agreement
whereby Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), a global investment management company, will acquire
the Sub-Adviser (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, on January 11, 2019,
the Fund’s Board unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the
“Agreement”), which provides for the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Fund to a
corresponding, newly formed fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in the Invesco family of funds (the
“Reorganization”) in exchange for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund of equal value
to the value of the shares of the Fund as of the close of business on the closing date. Although
the Acquiring Fund will be managed by Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Acquiring Fund will, as
of the closing date, have the same investment objective and substantially similar principal
investment strategies and risks as the Fund. After the Reorganization, Invesco Advisers, Inc.
will be the investment adviser to the Acquiring Fund, and the Fund will be liquidated and

dissolved under applicable law and terminate its registration under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization for
U.S. federal income tax purposes.
    As of 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on April 12, 2019, the Reorganization has been
approved by shareholders of record of the Fund as of January 14, 2019. Accordingly, if certain
other closing conditions are satisfied or waived, the Reorganization is currently expected to
close on or about May 24, 2019, or as soon as practicable thereafter. This is subject to change.
