ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN? The Fund invests mainly in common stocks of
U.S. issuers that the portfolio manager believes are undervalued in the
marketplace. The Fund may invest in other equity securities, such as preferred
stocks, warrants and debt securities convertible into common stocks. These
investments are more fully explained in "About the Fund's Investments," below.

HOW DOES THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? In
selecting securities for the Fund, the Fund's portfolio manager, who is employed
by the Sub-Advisor, OpCap Advisors, uses a "value" approach to investing. The
portfolio manager searches for securities of companies believed to be
undervalued in the marketplace, in relation to factors such as a company's
assets, earnings, growth potential and cash flows. This process and the
inter-relationship of the factors used may change over time and its
implementation may vary in particular cases. Currently, the selection process
includes the following techniques:
o A "bottom up" analytical approach using fundamental research to
evaluate particular issuers before considering industry trends,
evaluating each issuer's characteristics, financial results and
management.
o A search for securities of companies believed to be undervalued and
having a high return on capital, strong management committed to
shareholder value, and positive cash flows.
o Ongoing monitoring of issuers for fundamental changes in the company
that might alter the portfolio manager's initial expectations about the
security and might result in a decision to sell the security.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed for investors seeking capital
appreciation over the long term. Those investors should be willing to assume the
risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund
emphasizing investments in equity securities. Since the Fund does not seek
income and its income from investments will likely be small, it is not designed
for investors needing current income or preservation of capital. Because of its
focus on long-term growth, the Fund may be appropriate for a portion of a
retirement plan investment. The Fund is not a complete investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have risks to some degree. The Fund's investments in stocks and
bonds are subject to changes in their value from a number of factors, described
below. There is also the risk that poor security selection by the Sub-Advisor
will cause the Fund to underperform other funds having a similar objective. As
an example, the portfolio manager's "value" approach to investing could result
in fewer Fund investments in stocks that become highly valued by the marketplace
during times of rapid market advances. This could cause the Fund to underperform
other funds that seek capital appreciation but that employ a growth or non-value
approach to investing.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCKS. Stocks fluctuate in price, and their short-term
volatility at times may be great. Because the Fund currently emphasizes
investments in equity securities, the value of the Fund's portfolio will be
affected by changes in the stock markets in which it invests. Market risk will
affect the Fund's net asset values per share, which will fluctuate as the values
of the Fund's portfolio securities change. A variety of factors can affect the
price of a particular stock and the prices of individual stocks do not all move
in the same direction uniformly or at the same time. Different stock markets may
behave differently from each other.

Other factors can affect a particular stock's price, such as poor earnings
reports by the issuer, loss of major customers, major litigation against the
issuer, or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or its
industry. The Fund invests mainly in securities of companies with medium-size
capitalizations and larger. It also can invest in small companies, which may
have more volatile stock prices than large companies.

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. The Fund can buy securities of companies in
developed and underdeveloped countries. While the Fund has no limits on the
amounts it can invest in foreign securities, currently it does not intend to
invest more than 25% of its net assets in securities of issuers in any single
foreign country or more than 5% of its net assets in companies or government
issuers in emerging market countries.

While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, there
are also special risks. The change in value of a foreign currency against the
U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities
denominated in that foreign currency. Foreign issuers are not subject to the
same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to.
The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control
regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign
taxes, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in governmental economic or
monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political and economic factors.
These risks could cause the prices of foreign stocks to fall and could therefore
depress the Fund's share price.

HOW RISKY IS THE FUND OVERALL? The risks described above collectively form the
overall risk profile of the Fund, and can affect the value of the Fund's
investments, its investment performance and its price per share. Particular
investments and investment strategies also have risks. These risks mean that you
can lose money by investing in the Fund. When you redeem your shares, they may
be worth more or less than what you paid for them. There is no assurance that
the Fund will achieve its investment objective. In the short term, the stock
markets can be volatile, and the price of the Fund's shares can go up and down
substantially. The Fund generally does not use income-oriented investments to
help cushion the Fund's total return from changes in stock prices. In the
OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is generally more conservative than
aggressive growth stock funds, but has greater risks than funds that invest in
both stocks and bonds or in investment-grade debt securities.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund's Past Performance

The bar chart and table below show one measure of the risks of investing in the
Fund, by showing the Fund's performance (for its Class A shares) from year to
year for the last 10 calendar years and by showing how the average annual total
returns of the Fund's shares, both before and after taxes, compare to those of a
broad-based market index.

The after-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only and are calculated
using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates in
effect during the periods shown, and do not reflect the impact of state or local
taxes. The after-tax returns for the other classes of shares will vary. In
certain cases, the figure representing "Return After Taxes on Distributions and
Sale of Fund Shares" may be higher than the other return figures for the same
period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon
redemption and translates into an assumed tax deduction that benefits the
shareholder. The after-tax returns are calculated based on certain assumptions
mandated by regulation and your actual after-tax returns may differ from those
shown, depending on your individual tax situation. The after-tax returns set
forth below are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through
tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or IRAs or to institutional
investors not subject to tax. The Fund's past investment performance, before and
after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in
the future.

Annual Total Returns (Class A) (as of 12/31 each year)

[See appendix to prospectus for data in bar chart showing annual total returns]

Sales charges and taxes are not included in the calculations of return in this
bar chart, and if those charges and taxes were included, the returns would be
less than those shown. Returns including periods prior to 3/3/97 have been
adjusted to reflect expenses in effect as of that date, because the Fund's Class
A shares were previously "capital" shares of the Fund that bore no expenses
while the Fund was a closed-end investment company. For the period 1/1/02
through 9/30/02, the cumulative return (not annualized) before taxes for Class A
shares was -21.98%. During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return
(not annualized) before taxes for a calendar quarter was 19.34% (4th Qtr '98)
and the lowest return (not annualized) before taxes for a calendar quarter was
- -14.38% (3rd Qtr '01).

1. From 12/31/91
2. Because this is a new class of shares, return data for the period specified
is not available. The Fund commenced operations on 2/13/87 as a closed-end
investment company with two classes of shares, income shares and capital shares.
Capital shares were entitled to all gains and losses but bore no expenses.
Income shares bore all of the Fund's operating expenses. The Fund redeemed its
income shares and converted to an open-end fund on 3/3/97. The capital shares
were designated as Class A shares, which bear their allocable share of Fund
expenses.
The Fund's average annual total returns in the table include the applicable
sales charges: for Class A, the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%;
for Class B, the contingent deferred sales charges of 5% (1-year) and 2% (life
of class); and for Class C the 1% contingent deferred sales charge for the
1-year period. Returns for Class A reflect the historical performance of the
Fund's previous capital shares as adjusted for the fees and expenses of Class A
in effect on 3/3/97 (without giving effect to any fee waivers). Returns for
periods after 3/3/97 through 2/28/99 are net of the Manager's waiver of certain
fees and the Distributor's waiver of certain distribution fees.
The Fund's returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account and assume
that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in
additional shares. The performance of the Fund's Class A shares is compared to
the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities. The index
performance includes the reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction
costs. The Fund's investments will vary from securities in the index.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The following tables are provided to help you understand the fees and expenses
you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The Fund pays a variety of
expenses directly for management of its assets, administration, distribution of
its shares and other services. Those expenses are subtracted from the Fund's
assets to calculate the Fund's net asset values per share. All shareholders
therefore pay those expenses indirectly. Shareholders pay other transaction
expenses directly, such as sales charges. The numbers below are based on the
Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended October 31, 2002.

1. A contingent deferred sales charge may apply to redemptions of investments of
$1 million or more ($500,000 for certain retirement plan accounts) of Class A
shares. See "How to Buy Shares" for details.
2. Applies to redemptions in first year after purchase. The contingent deferred
sales charge declines to 1% in the sixth year and is eliminated after that. 3.
Applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
4. Applies to shares redeemed within 18 months of a retirement plan's first
purchase of Class N shares of Class N shares.

Effective January 1, 2002, the asset-based sales charge rate for Class A shares
was voluntarily reduced to 0.10% on average annual net assets representing Class
A shares of the Fund. The rate in effect during 2001 as to Class A shares was
0.15%. Effective January 1, 2003, the Board has voluntarily reduced the Class A
asset-based sales charge to zero resulting in a 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. The Board of
Directors can set the rate of the asset-based sales charge on Class A shares up
to 0.25% of average annual net assets. Expenses may vary in future years. "Other
Expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and accounting and legal
expenses the Fund pays. The Transfer Agent has voluntarily undertaken to the
Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per
fiscal year for all classes. That undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any
time. For the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2002, the transfer agent fees
did not exceed the expense limitation described above.

EXAMPLES. The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of
investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The
examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for the
time periods indicated and reinvest your dividends and distributions.

The first example assumes that you redeem all of your shares at the end of
those periods. The second example assumes that you keep your shares. Both
examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
class's operating expenses remain the same as in the table above. Your actual
costs may be higher or lower because expenses will vary over time. Based on
these assumptions your expenses would be as follows:

If shares are redeemed: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class A Shares $739 $1,083 $1,450 $2,478
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B Shares $744 $1,051 $1,485 $2,4141
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class C Shares $344 $751 $1,285 $2,746
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class N Shares $290 $588 $1,011 $2,190
- -------------------------

- -------------------------
If shares are not 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
redeemed:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class A Shares $739 $1,083 $1,450 $2,478

Class B Shares $244 $751 $1,285 $2,4141
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class C Shares $244 $751 $1,285 $2,746
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class N Shares $190 $588 $1,011 $2,190
- -------------------------

In the first example, expenses include the initial sales charge for Class A and
the applicable Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales charges. In
the second example, the Class A expenses include the sales charge, but Class B,
Class C and Class N expenses do not include the contingent deferred sales
charges. 1. Class B expenses for years 7 through 10 are based on Class A
expenses, since Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months
after purchase.

About the Fund's Investments

THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. The allocation of the Fund's portfolio
among the different types of investments will vary over time based upon the
evaluation of economic and market trends. The Fund's portfolio might not always
include all of the different types of investments described in this Prospectus.
The Statement of Additional Information contains more detailed information about
the Fund's investment policies and risks.

The Fund's investment Manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., has engaged the
Sub-Advisor, OpCap Advisors, to select securities for the Fund's portfolio. The
Sub-Advisor tries to reduce risks by carefully researching securities before
they are purchased and to reduce the Fund's exposure to market risks by
diversifying its investments, that is, by not holding a substantial percentage
of stock of any one company and by not investing too great a percentage of the
Fund's assets in any one issuer. Also, the Fund does not concentrate 25% or more
of its investments in any one industry.

However, changes in the overall market prices of securities and the income
they pay can occur at any time. The share price of the Fund will change daily
based on changes in market prices of securities and market conditions, and in
response to other economic events.

Stock Investments. The Fund invests mainly in common stocks and other equity
securities to seek capital appreciation. They can be securities issued by
domestic or foreign companies. While the Fund can invest in securities of
issuers of small, medium or large market capitalization, the Sub-Advisor
currently focuses investments on mid-size companies and larger.

At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments
in the securities of issuers in a particular industry, or of a particular
capitalization or a range of capitalizations, depending on the
Sub-Advisor's judgment about market and economic conditions. Stocks of
issuers in a particular industry may be affected by changes in economic
conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or
other events that affect that industry more than others. To the extent
that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a
particular industry, its share prices will fluctuate in response to events
affecting that industry. Although convertible securities are debt
securities, some convertible securities can be considered to be "equity
equivalents" because of the conversion feature and in that case their
credit rating has less impact on the investment decision than in the case
of other debt securities. Nevertheless, convertible securities are subject
to both "credit risk" (the risk that the issuer will not pay interest or
repay principal in a timely manner) and "interest rate risk" (the risk
that the prices of the securities will fluctuate inversely to changes in
prevailing interest rates).

Foreign Investing. The Fund can buy foreign securities that are listed on a
domestic or foreign stock exchange, traded in domestic or foreign
over-the-counter markets, or represented by American Depository Receipts
or other similar receipts. The Fund may invest to a limited degree in
emerging markets, which have greater risks than developed countries, such
as less developed trading markets and possibly less liquidity, unstable
governments and economies, and greater risks of nationalization and
restrictions on foreign ownership, making these investments more volatile
than other foreign investments. The risks could cause the prices of
foreign stocks to fall and could therefore depress the Fund's share
prices. The Fund will hold foreign currency only in connection with buying
and selling foreign securities.

CAN THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES CHANGE? The Fund's Board of
Directors can change non-fundamental investment policies without shareholder
approval, although significant changes will be described in amendments to this
Prospectus. Fundamental policies cannot be changed without the approval of a
majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares. The Fund's investment
objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are
fundamental policies are listed in the Statement of Additional Information. An
investment policy is not fundamental unless this Prospectus or the Statement of
Additional Information says that it is.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. To seek its objective, the Fund can also use the
investment techniques and strategies described below. The Sub-Advisor might not
always use all of them. These techniques have certain risks, although some are
designed to help reduce overall investment or market risks.

Debt Securities. The Fund can also invest in debt securities, such as U.S.
Government securities and domestic and foreign corporate and government
bonds and debentures. Short-term debt securities can be selected for
liquidity pending the purchase of other investments or to have cash to pay
for redemptions of Fund shares.

The debt securities the Fund buys may be rated by nationally recognized
rating organizations or they may be unrated securities assigned an
equivalent rating by the Sub-Advisor. The Fund's investments in debt
securities, including convertible debt securities, can be above or below
investment grade in credit quality. The Fund is not required to sell a
security if its rating falls after the Fund buys it. However, the
Sub-Advisor will monitor those investments to determine whether the Fund
should continue to hold them. Rating definitions of national rating
agencies are described in Appendix A to the Statement of Additional
Information.

CREDIT RISK. Debt securities are subject to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk
that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on
the security as they become due. If the issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's
income might be reduced, and if the issuer fails to repay principal, the value
of that bond and of the Fund's shares might be reduced. A downgrade in an
issuer's credit rating or other adverse news about an issuer can reduce the
market value of that issuer's securities.

INTEREST RATE RISKS. The values of debt securities are subject to change when
prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates fall, the values of
already-issued debt securities generally rise. When interest rates rise, the
values of already-issued debt securities generally fall. The magnitude of these
fluctuations will often be greater for longer-term debt securities than for
shorter-term debt securities. The Fund's share prices can go up or down when
interest rates change because of the effect of the changes in the value of the
Fund's investments in debt securities.

o Special Credit Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. All debt securities are subject to
some degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet
interest or principal payments on a security as they become due. The Fund can invest
up to 25% of its assets in "lower-grade" securities commonly known as "junk bonds."
These are debt securities rated lower than "Baa" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
or "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service or that have comparable ratings from
another rating organization or that are unrated securities assigned a comparable
rating by the Sub-Advisor.

Higher yielding lower-grade bonds, whether rated or unrated, have greater
risks than investment grade securities. They may be subject to greater
market fluctuations and risk of loss of income and principal than
investment grade securities. There may be less of a market for them and
therefore they may be harder to sell at an acceptable price. There is a
relatively greater possibility that the issuer's earnings may be
insufficient to make the payments of interest and principal due on the
bonds. These risks mean that the Fund's net asset value per share may be
affected by declines in value of these securities.

Money Market Instruments. For liquidity purposes, the Fund can also invest in
"money market instruments." These include U.S. Government securities and
high-quality corporate debt securities having a remaining maturity of one
year or less. They also include commercial paper, other short-term
corporate debt obligations, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances
and repurchase agreements.

Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund can invest without limit in
securities of small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have
been in continuous operation for less than three years, counting the
operations of any predecessors. These securities may have limited
liquidity, which means that the Fund could have difficulty selling them at
an acceptable price when it wants to. The prices of these securities may
be very volatile, especially in the short term.

Illiquid And Restricted Securities. Investments may be illiquid because they do
not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or
dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. A restricted security is
one that has a contractual restriction on its resale or which cannot be
sold publicly until it is registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The
Fund cannot invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid or
restricted securities. Certain restricted securities that are eligible for
resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be subject to that
limit. The Manager and Sub-Advisor monitor holdings of illiquid securities
on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings to maintain
adequate liquidity.

Hedging. The Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of futures contracts, forward
contracts, and put and call options. These are all referred to as "hedging
instruments." In the broadest sense, hedging instruments the Fund might
use may be considered "derivative investments." In general terms, a
derivative investment is an investment contract whose value depends on (or
is derived from) the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index.
The Fund does not currently use hedging extensively or for speculative
purposes. It has limits on its use of hedging instruments and is not
required to use them in seeking its objective.

Some of these strategies would hedge the Fund's portfolio against price
fluctuations. Other hedging strategies, such as buying futures and call
options, would tend to increase the Fund's exposure to the securities
market.

Hedging involves risk. If the portfolio manager used a hedging instrument
at the wrong time or judged market conditions incorrectly, the hedge might
be unsuccessful and the strategy could reduce the Fund's returns. The Fund
could also experience losses if the prices of its futures and options
positions were not correlated with its other investments or if it could
not close out a position because of an illiquid market for the future or
option.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as
"portfolio turnover". The Fund does not expect to engage in active and
frequent trading to try to achieve its objective. Portfolio turnover
increases brokerage costs the Fund pays. If the Fund realizes capital
gains when it sells its portfolio investments, it must generally pay those
gains out to shareholders, increasing their taxable distributions. The
Financial Highlights table at the end of this Prospectus shows the Fund's
portfolio turnover rates during prior fiscal years.

Temporary Defensive Investments. In times of adverse or unstable market,
economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its
assets in temporary defensive investments that are inconsistent with the
Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally they would be short-term
U.S. Government securities and the types of money market instruments
described above. To the extent the Fund invests defensively in these
securities, it might not achieve its investment objective of capital
appreciation.

How the Fund Is Managed

THE MANAGER. The Manager supervises the Fund's investment program and handles
its day-to-day business. The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the
policies established by the Fund's Board of Directors, under an investment
advisory agreement that states the Manager's responsibilities. The agreement
sets the fees paid by the Fund to the Manager and describes the expenses that
the Fund pays to conduct its business. The Manager became the Fund's investment
advisor on February 28, 1997.

The Manager has been an investment advisor since January 1960. The Manager
and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates managed more than $120 billion of
assets as of September 30, 2002, including other Oppenheimer funds with more
than 7 million shareholder accounts. The Manager is located at 498 Seventh
Avenue, New York, New York 10018.

The Manager's Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the
Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate that declines on additional
assets as the Fund grows: 1.00% of the first $400 million of average
annual net assets of the Fund, 0.90% of the next $400 million, and 0.85%
of average annual net assets in excess of $800 million. The Fund's
management fee for its last fiscal year ended October 31, 2002 was 1.00%
of average annual net assets for each class of shares.

The Sub-Advisor. On February 28, 1997, the Manager retained the Sub-Advisor to
provide day-to-day portfolio management for the Fund. Prior to that date
and from the inception of the Fund, the Sub-Advisor had been the Fund's
investment advisor. The Sub-Advisor has operated as an investment advisor
to investment companies and institutional investors since its organization
in 1980, and as of September 30, 2002, the Sub-Advisor and its parent,
Oppenheimer Capital, advised accounts having assets in excess of $26
billion. The Sub-Advisor is located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 49th
Floor, New York, New York 10105-4800.

The Manager, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Advisor an annual fee under the
Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor. The fee is
calculated as a percentage of the fee the Fund pays the Manager. The rate
is 40% of the advisory fee collected by the Manager based on the net
assets of the Fund as of February 28, 1997, and remaining 120 days later,
plus 30% of the fee collected by the Manager on assets in excess of that
amount. In each case the fee is calculated after any waivers of the
Manager's fee from the Fund.

The Sub-Advisor is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer Capital LLC, which is
wholly-owned by Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. The
general partner of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. is
Allianz-PacLife Partners LLP. Allianz AG has majority ownership of, and
controls, Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America, L.P. and its
subsidiaries, including Oppenheimer Capital and the Sub-Advisor.

Portfolio Manager. The portfolio manager of the Fund is Louis P. Goldstein, who is Vice
President of the Sub-Advisor. He is the person primarily responsible for the
day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. Mr. Goldstein, a Managing Director of
Oppenheimer Capital since 1991, became the Fund's portfolio manager in February 1999,
prior to which he was a MidCap portfolio manager at Oppenheimer Capital.

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

How to Buy Shares

You can buy shares several ways, as described below. The Fund's Distributor,
OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., may appoint servicing agents to accept purchase (and
redemption) orders. The Distributor, in its sole discretion, may reject any purchase order
for the Fund's shares.

BuyingShares Through Your Dealer. You can buy shares through any dealer, broker
or financial institution that has a sales agreement with the Distributor.
Your dealer will place your order with the Distributor on your behalf.
BuyingShares Through the Distributor. Complete an OppenheimerFunds New Account
Application and return it with a check payable to "OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc." Mail it to P.O. Box 5270, Denver, Colorado 80217. If
you don't list a dealer on the application, the Distributor will act as
your agent in buying the shares. However, we recommend that you discuss
your investment with a financial advisor before you make a purchase to be
sure that the Fund is appropriate for you.
o Paying by Federal Funds Wire. Shares purchased through the Distributor may
be paid for by Federal Funds wire. The minimum investment is $2,500.
Before sending a wire, call the Distributor's Wire Department at
1.800.225.5677 to notify the Distributor of the wire and to receive
further instructions.
o Buying Shares Through OppenheimerFunds AccountLink. With AccountLink, you
pay for shares by electronic funds transfers from your bank account.
Shares are purchased for your account by a transfer of money from your
bank account through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system. You can
provide those instructions automatically, under an Asset Builder Plan,
described below, or by telephone instructions using OppenheimerFunds
PhoneLink, also described below. Please refer to "AccountLink" below for
more details.
o Buying Shares Through Asset Builder Plans. You may purchase shares of the
Fund automatically each month from your account at a bank or other
financial institution under an Asset Builder Plan with AccountLink.
Details are in the Asset Builder Application and the Statement of
Additional Information.

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT YOU MUST INVEST? In most cases, you can buy Fund
shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional
investments at any time with as little as $50. There are reduced minimums
available under the following special investment plans:
o If you establish one of the many types of retirement plan accounts that
OppenheimerFunds offers, more fully described below under "Special
Investor Services," you can start your account with as little as $500.
o By using an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Exchange Plan (details are in
the Statement of Additional Information), or government allotment plan,
you can make subsequent investments (after making the initial investment
of $500) for as little as $50. For any type of account established under
one of these plans prior to November 1, 2002, the minimum additional
investment will remain $25.
o The minimum investment requirement does not apply to reinvesting dividends
from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds (a list of them appears in the
Statement of Additional Information, or you can ask your dealer or call
the Transfer Agent), or reinvesting distributions from unit investment
trusts that have made arrangements with the Distributor.

AT WHAT PRICE ARE SHARES SOLD? Shares are sold at their offering price which is
the net asset value per share plus any initial sales charge that applies. The
offering price that applies to a purchase order is based on the next calculation
of the net asset value per share that is made after the Distributor receives the
purchase order at its offices in Colorado, or after any agent appointed by the
Distributor receives the order.

Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of
shares as of the close of The New York Stock Exchange, on each day the
Exchange is open for trading (referred to in this Prospectus as a "regular
business day"). The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time,
but may close earlier on some days. All references to time in this
Prospectus mean "Eastern time."

The net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of the
Fund's net assets attributable to a class by the number of shares of that
class that are outstanding. To determine net asset value, the Fund's Board
of Directors has established procedures to value the Fund's securities, in
general, based on market value. The Board has adopted special procedures
for valuing illiquid and restricted securities and obligations for which
market values cannot be readily obtained. Because some foreign securities
trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S.
holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change
on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

If, after the close of the principal market on which a security held by
the Fund is traded, and before the time the Fund's securities are priced
that day, an event occurs that the Manager deems likely to cause a
material change in the value of such security, the Fund's Board of
Directors has authorized the Manager, subject to the Board's review, to
ascertain a fair value for such security. A security's valuation may
differ depending on the method used for determining value.

The Offering Price. To receive the offering price for a particular day, in
most cases the Distributor or its designated agent must receive your order
by the time The New York Stock Exchange closes that day. If your order is
received on a day when the Exchange is closed or after it has closed, the
order will receive the next offering price that is determined after your
order is received.
BuyingThrough a Dealer. If you buy shares through a dealer, your dealer must
receive the order by the close of The New York Stock Exchange and transmit
it to the Distributor so that it is received before the Distributor's
close of business on a regular business day (normally 5:00 P.M.) to
receive that day's offering price, unless your dealer has made alternative
arrangements with the Distributor. Otherwise, the order will receive the
next offering price that is determined.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund offers investors four
different classes of shares. The different classes of shares represent
investments in the same portfolio of securities, but the classes are subject to
different expenses and will likely have different share prices. When you buy
shares, be sure to specify the class of shares. If you do not choose a class,
your investment will be made in Class A shares.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class A Shares. If you buy Class A shares, you pay an initial sales charge (on
investments up to $1 million for regular accounts or lesser amounts for
certain retirement plans). The amount of that sales charge will vary
depending on the amount you invest. The sales charge rates are listed in
"How Can You Buy Class A Shares?" below.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B Shares. If you buy Class B shares, you pay no sales charge at the time
of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you
sell your shares within 6 years of buying them, you will normally pay a
contingent deferred sales charge. That contingent deferred sales charge
varies depending on how long you own your shares, as described in "How Can
You Buy Class B Shares?" below.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you pay no sales charge at the time
of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you
sell your shares within 12 months of buying them, you will normally pay a
contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described in "How Can You Buy
Class C Shares?" below.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class N Shares. If you buy Class N shares (available only through certain
retirement plans), you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but
you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares
within 18 months of the retirement plan's first purchase of Class N
shares, you may pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as
described in "How Can You Buy Class N Shares?" below.

WHICH CLASS OF SHARES SHOULD YOU CHOOSE? Once you decide that the Fund is an
appropriate investment for you, the decision as to which class of shares is best
suited to your needs depends on a number of factors that you should discuss with
your financial advisor. Some factors to consider are how much you plan to invest
and how long you plan to hold your investment. If your goals and objectives
change over time and you plan to purchase additional shares, you should
re-evaluate those factors to see if you should consider another class of shares.
The Fund's operating costs that apply to a class of shares and the effect of the
different types of sales charges on your investment will vary your investment
results over time.

The discussion below is not intended to be investment advice or a
recommendation, because each investor's financial considerations are different.
The discussion below assumes that you will purchase only one class of shares and
not a combination of shares of different classes. Of course, these examples are
based on approximations of the effects of current sales charges and expenses
projected over time, and do not detail all of the considerations in selecting a
class of shares. You should analyze your options carefully with your financial
advisor before making that choice.

How Long Do You Expect to Hold Your Investment? While future financial needs
cannot be predicted with certainty, knowing how long you expect to hold
your investment will assist you in selecting the appropriate class of
shares. Because of the effect of class-based expenses, your choice will
also depend on how much you plan to invest. For example, the reduced sales
charges available for larger purchases of Class A shares may, over time,
offset the effect of paying an initial sales charge on your investment,
compared to the effect over time of higher class-based expenses on shares
of Class B, Class C or Class N. For retirement plans that qualify to
purchase Class N shares, Class N shares will generally be more
advantageous than Class B and Class C shares.

o Investing for the Shorter Term. While the Fund is meant to be a long-term
investment, if you have a relatively short-term investment horizon (that
is, you plan to hold your shares for not more than six years), you should
probably consider purchasing Class A or Class C shares rather than Class B
shares. That is because of the effect of the Class B contingent deferred
sales charge if you redeem within SIX years, as well as the effect of the
Class B asset-based sales charge on the investment return for that class
in the short term. Class C shares might be the appropriate choice
(especially for investments of less than $100,000), because there is no
initial sales charge on Class C shares, and the contingent deferred sales
charge does not apply to amounts you sell after holding them one year.

However, if you plan to invest more than $100,000 for the shorter term,
then as your investment horizon increases toward six years, Class C shares
might not be as advantageous as Class A shares. That is because the annual
asset-based sales charge on Class C shares will have a greater impact on
your account over the longer term than the reduced front-end sales charge
available for larger purchases of Class A shares.

And for non-retirement plan investors who invest $1 million or more, in
most cases Class A shares will be the most 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 of Class B
shares or $1 million or more of Class C shares from a single investor.

o Investing for the Longer Term. If you are investing less than $100,000 for
the longer term, for example for retirement, and do not expect to need
access to your money for seven years or more, Class B shares may be
appropriate.

Are There Differences in Account Features That Matter to You? Some account
features may not be available to Class B, Class C and Class N
shareholders. Other features may not be advisable (because of the effect
of the contingent deferred sales charge) for Class B, Class C and Class N
shareholders. Therefore, you should carefully review how you plan to use
your investment account before deciding which class of shares to buy.

Additionally, the dividends payable to Class B, Class C and Class N
shareholders will be reduced by the additional expenses borne by those
classes that are not borne by Class A shares, such as the Class B, Class C
and Class N asset-based sales charge described below and in the Statement
of Additional Information. Share certificates are only available for Class
A shares. If you are considering using your shares as collateral for a
loan, that may be a factor to consider.

How Do Share Classes Affect Payments to Your Broker? A financial advisor may
receive different compensation for selling one class of shares than for
selling another class. It is important to remember that Class B, Class C
and Class N contingent deferred sales charges and asset-based sales
charges have the same purpose as the front-end sales charge on sales of
Class A shares: to compensate the Distributor for concessions and expenses
it pays to dealers and financial institutions for selling shares. The
Distributor may pay additional compensation from its own resources to
securities dealers or financial institutions based upon the value of
shares of the Fund owned by the dealer or financial institution for its
own account or for its customers.

SPECIAL SALES CHARGE ARRANGEMENTS AND WAIVERS. Appendix C to the Statement of
Additional Information details the conditions for the waiver of sales charges
that apply in certain cases, and the special sales charge rates that apply to
purchases of shares of the Fund by certain groups, or under specified retirement
plan arrangements or in other special types of transactions. To receive a waiver
or special sales charge rate, you must advise the Distributor when purchasing
shares or the Transfer Agent when redeeming shares that a special condition
applies.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS A SHARES? Class A shares are sold at their offering price,
which is normally net asset value plus an initial sales charge. However, in some
cases, described below, purchases are not subject to an initial sales charge,
and the offering price will be the net asset value. In other cases, reduced
sales charges may be available, as described below or in the Statement of
Additional Information. Out of the amount you invest, the Fund receives the net
asset value to invest for your account.

The sales charge varies depending on the amount of your purchase. A
portion of the sales charge may be retained by the Distributor or allocated to
your dealer as a concession. The Distributor reserves the right to reallow the
entire concession to dealers. The current sales charge rates and concessions
paid to dealers and brokers are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amount of Purchase Front-End Sales Front-End Sales Concession As
Charge As a Charge As a
Percentage of Percentage of Net Percentage of
Offering Price Amount Invested Offering Price

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges? You may be eligible to buy Class A
shares at reduced sales charge rates under the Fund's "Right of
Accumulation" or a Letter of Intent, as described in "Reduced Sales
Charges" in the Statement of Additional Information.

Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. There is no initial sales charge on
purchases of Class A shares of any one or more of the Oppenheimer funds
aggregating $1 million or more, or for certain purchases by particular
types of retirement plans that were permitted to purchase such shares
prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts"). Retirement
plans are not permitted to make initial purchases of Class A shares
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The Distributor pays
dealers of record concessions in an amount equal to 1.0% of purchases of
$1 million or more other than by grandfathered retirement accounts. For
grandfathered retirement accounts, the concession is 0.75% of the first
$2.5 million of purchases plus 0.25% of purchases in excess of $2.5
million. In either case, the concession will not be paid on purchases of
shares by exchange or that were previously subject to a front-end sales
charge and dealer concession.

If you redeem any of those shares within an 18-month "holding period"
measured from the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, a
contingent deferred sales charge (called the "Class A contingent deferred
sales charge") may be deducted from the redemption proceeds. That sales
charge will be equal to 1.0% of the lesser of:
o the aggregate net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption
(excluding shares purchased by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions) or
o the original net asset value of the redeemed shares.

The Class A contingent deferred sales charge will not exceed the aggregate
amount of the concessions the Distributor paid to your dealer on all
purchases of Class A shares of all Oppenheimer funds you made that were
subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge.

Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans. There is no initial sales charge on
purchases of Class A shares of any one or more Oppenheimer funds by
retirement plans that have $10 million or more in plan assets and that
have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor and by
retirement plans which are part of a retirement plan product or platform
offered by certain banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors, insurance
companies or recordkeepers which have entered into a special agreement
with the Distributor. The Distributor currently pays dealers of record
concessions in an amount equal to 0.25% of the purchase price of Class A
shares by those retirement plans from its own resources at the time of
sale, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Statement of
Additional Information. There is no contingent deferred sales charge upon
the redemption of such shares.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS B SHARES? Class B shares are sold at net asset value per
share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class B shares are redeemed
within six years from the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, a
contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from the redemption proceeds.
The Class B contingent deferred sales charge is paid to compensate the
Distributor for its expenses of providing distribution-related services to the
Fund in connection with the sale of Class B shares.

The amount of the contingent deferred sales charge will depend on the
number of years since you invested and the dollar amount being redeemed,
according to the following schedule for the Class B contingent deferred sales
charge holding period:

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on
Years Since Beginning of Month in Redemptions in That Year
Which Purchase Order was Accepted (As % of Amount Subject to Charge)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 - 1 5.0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 - 2 4.0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 - 3 3.0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 - 4 3.0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - 5 2.0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 - 6 1.0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More than 6 None
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the table, a "year" is a 12-month period. In applying the contingent deferred
sales charge, all purchases are considered to have been made on the first
regular business day of the month in which the purchase was made.

Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares. Class B shares automatically convert to
Class A shares 72 months after you purchase them. This conversion feature
relieves Class B shareholders of the asset-based sales charge that applies
to Class B shares under the Class B Distribution and Service Plan,
described below. The conversion is based on the relative net asset value
of the two classes, and no sales load or other charge is imposed. When any
Class B shares that you hold convert, any other Class B shares that were
acquired by reinvesting dividends and distributions on the converted
shares will also convert to Class A shares. For further information on the
conversion feature and its tax implications, see "Class B Conversion" in
the Statement of Additional Information.

How Can you Buy Class C Shares? Class C shares are sold at net asset value per
share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class C shares are redeemed
within a holding period of 12 months from the beginning of the calendar month of
their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be deducted from
the redemption proceeds. The Class C contingent deferred sales charge is paid to
compensate the Distributor for its expenses of providing distribution-related
services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class C shares.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS N SHARES? Class N shares are offered for sale to
retirement plans (including IRAs and 403(b) plans) that purchase $500,000 or
more of Class N shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds or to group retirement
plans (which do not include IRAs and 403(b) plans) that have assets of $500,000
or more or 100 or more eligible participants. See "Availability of Class N
shares" in the Statement of Additional Information for other circumstances where
Class N shares are available for purchase.

A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be imposed upon the
redemption of Class N shares, if: o The group retirement plan is terminated or
Class N shares of all Oppenheimer funds
are terminated as an investment option of the plan and Class N shares are
redeemed within 18 months after the plan's first purchase of Class N
shares of any Oppenheimer fund, or
o With respect to an IRA or 403(b) plan, Class N shares are redeemed within
18 months of the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any
Oppenheimer fund.

Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on plan
participant accounts. The procedures for buying, selling, exchanging and
transferring the Fund's other classes of shares (other than the time those
orders must be received by the Distributor or Transfer Agent in Colorado) and
the special account features applicable to purchasers of those other classes of
shares described elsewhere in this Prospectus do not apply to Class N shares
offered through a group retirement plan. Instructions for buying, selling,
exchanging or transferring Class N shares offered through a group retirement
plan must be submitted by the plan, not by plan participants for whose benefit
the shares are held.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS.

Distribution and Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a
Distribution and Service Plan for Class A shares. Under the plan the Fund
will pay through December 31, 2002, an asset-based sales charge to the
Distributor at an annual rate of 0.10% of average annual net assets of
Class A shares of the Fund (the Board of Directors can set this rate up to
0.25%). Effective January 1, 2003, the Board has voluntarily reduced the
asset-based sales charge on all Class A shares to zero. The Fund also pays
a service fee to the Distributor of 0.25% of the average annual net assets
of Class A shares. The Distributor currently uses all of the service fee
and, until December 31, 2002, the asset-based sales charge, to pay
dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions quarterly for
providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers
that hold Class A shares. With respect to Class A shares subject to a
Class A contingent deferred sales charge purchased by grandfathered
retirement accounts, the Distributor pays the 0.25% service fee to dealers
in advance for the first year after the shares are sold by the dealer.
During the first year after the shares are sold, the Distributor retains
the service fee. After the shares have been held for a year, the
Distributor pays the service fee to dealers on a quarterly basis.

Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund
has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class
N shares to pay the Distributor for its services and costs in distributing
Class B, Class C and Class N shares and servicing accounts. Under the
plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of
0.75% on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The
Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under the Class
B, Class C and Class N plans.

The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and Class C
expenses by 1.0% and increase Class N expenses by 0.50% of the net assets
per year of the respective class. Because these fees are paid out of the
Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the
cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales
charges.

The Distributor uses the service fees to compensate dealers for providing
personal services for accounts that hold Class B, Class C or Class N
shares. The Distributor pays the 0.25% service fees to dealers in advance
for the first year after the shares are sold by the dealer. After the
shares have been held for a year, the Distributor pays the service fees to
dealers on a quarterly basis. The Distributor retains the service fees for
accounts for which it renders the required personal services.

The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 3.75% of the purchase
price of Class B shares to dealers from its own resources at the time of
sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total amount paid by
the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of Class B shares is
therefore 4.00% of the purchase price. The Distributor retains the Class B
asset-based sales charge. See the Statement of Additional Information for
exceptions.

The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase
price of Class C shares to dealers from its own resources at the time of
sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total amount paid by
the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of Class C shares is
therefore 1.0% of the purchase price. The Distributor pays the asset-based
sales charge as an ongoing concession to the dealer on Class C shares that
have been outstanding for a year or more. See the Statement of Additional
Information for exceptions.

The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase
price of Class N shares to dealers from its own resources at the time of
sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total amount paid by
the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of Class N shares is
therefore 1.0% of the purchase price. The Distributor retains the
asset-based sales charge on Class N shares. See the Statement of
Additional Information for exceptions.

account to another OppenheimerFunds account you have already established
by calling the special PhoneLink number.
Selling Shares. You can redeem shares by telephone automatically by calling the
PhoneLink number and the Fund will send the proceeds directly to your
AccountLink bank account. Please refer to "How to Sell Shares," below for
details.

CAN YOU SUBMIT TRANSACTION REQUESTS BY FAX? You may send requests for certain
types of account transactions to the Transfer Agent by fax (telecopier). Please
call 1.800.225.5677 for information about which transactions may be handled this
way. Transaction requests submitted by fax are subject to the same rules and
restrictions as written and telephone requests described in this Prospectus.

OPPENHEIMERFUNDS INTERNET WEBSITE. You can obtain information about the Fund, as
well as your account balance, on the OppenheimerFunds Internet website, at
www.oppenheimerfunds.com. Additionally, shareholders listed in the account
registration (and the dealer of record) may request certain account transactions
through a special section of that website. To perform account transactions or
obtain account information online, you must first obtain a user I.D. and
password on that website. If you do not want to have Internet account
transaction capability for your account, please call the Transfer Agent at
1.800.225.5677. At times, the website may be inaccessible or its transaction
features may be unavailable.

AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL AND EXCHANGE PLANS. The Fund has several plans that enable
you to sell shares automatically or exchange them to another OppenheimerFunds
account on a regular basis. Please call the Transfer Agent or consult the
Statement of Additional Information for details.

REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE. If you redeem some or all of your Class A or Class B
shares of the Fund, you have up to six months to reinvest all or part of the
redemption proceeds in Class A shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds
without paying a sales charge. This privilege applies only to Class A shares
that you purchased subject to an initial sales charge and to Class A or Class B
shares on which you paid a contingent deferred sales charge when you redeemed
them. This privilege does not apply to Class C or Class N shares. You must be
sure to ask the Distributor for this privilege when you send your payment.

RETIREMENT PLANS. You may buy shares of the Fund for your retirement plan
account. If you participate in a plan sponsored by your employer, the plan
trustee or administrator must buy the shares for your plan account. The
Distributor also offers a number of different retirement plans that individuals
and employers can use:
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). These include regular IRAs, Roth IRAs,
SIMPLE IRAs and rollover IRAs.
SEP-IRAs. These are Simplified Employee Pension Plan IRAs for small business
owners or self-employed individuals.
403(b)(7) Custodial Plans. These are tax-deferred plans for employees of
eligible tax-exempt organizations, such as schools, hospitals and
charitable organizations.
401(k) Plans. These are special retirement plans for businesses.
Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. These plans are designed for businesses and
self-employed individuals. Please call the Distributor for
OppenheimerFunds retirement plan documents, which
include applications and important plan information.

How to Sell Shares

You can sell (redeem) some or all of your shares on any regular business day.
Your shares will be sold at the next net asset value calculated after your order
is received in proper form (which means that it must comply with the procedures
described below) and is accepted by the Transfer Agent. The Fund lets you sell
your shares by writing a letter, by wire, or by telephone. You can also set up
Automatic Withdrawal Plans to redeem shares on a regular basis. If you have
questions about any of these procedures, and especially if you are redeeming
shares in a special situation, such as due to the death of the owner or from a
retirement plan account, please call the Transfer Agent first, at
1.800.225.5677, for assistance.

Certain Requests Require a Signature Guarantee. To protect you and the Fund from
fraud, the following redemption requests must be in writing and must
include a signature guarantee (although there may be other situations that
also require a signature guarantee):
o You wish to redeem more than $100,000 and receive a check o The redemption
check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the account
statement
o The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your account
statement o Shares are being transferred to a Fund account with a different
owner or name o Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor)
other than the owners.

Where Can You Have Your Signature Guaranteed? The Transfer Agent will accept a
guarantee of your signature by a number of financial institutions,
including:
o a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,
o a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,
o a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities or government
securities, or
o a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities association or a
clearing agency.
If you are signing on behalf of a corporation, partnership or other business or as a
fiduciary, you must also include your title in the signature.

Retirement Plan Accounts. There are special procedures to sell shares in an
OppenheimerFunds retirement plan account. Call the Transfer Agent for a
distribution request form. Special income tax withholding requirements
apply to distributions from retirement plans. You must submit a
withholding form with your redemption request to avoid delay in getting
your money and if you do not want tax withheld. If your employer holds
your retirement plan account for you in the name of the plan, you must ask
the plan trustee or administrator to request the sale of the Fund shares
in your plan account.

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Wire. While the Fund normally sends your money by
check, you can arrange to have the proceeds of shares you sell sent by
Federal Funds wire to a bank account you designate. It must be a
commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve wire system. The
minimum redemption you can have sent by wire is $2,500. There is a $10 fee
for each request. To find out how to set up this feature on your account
or to arrange a wire, call the Transfer Agent at 1.800.225.5677.

HOWDO you SELL SHARES BY MAIL? Write a letter of instruction that includes: o
Your name o The Fund's name o Your Fund account number (from your account
statement) o The dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed o Any
special payment instructions o Any share certificates for the shares you are
selling o The signatures of all registered owners exactly as the account is
registered, and o Any special documents requested by the Transfer Agent to
assure proper authorization
of the person asking to sell the shares.

requests by mail: requests to:
OppenheimerFunds Services OppenheimerFunds Services
P.O. Box 5270 10200 E. Girard Avenue, Building D
Denver, Colorado 80217 Denver, Colorado 80231

HOW DO you SELL SHARES BY TELEPHONE? You and your dealer representative of
record may also sell your shares by telephone. To receive the redemption price
calculated on a particular regular business day, your call must be received by
the Transfer Agent by the close of The New York Stock Exchange that day, which
is normally 4:00 P.M., but may be earlier on some days. You may not redeem
shares held in an OppenheimerFunds retirement plan account or under a share
certificate by telephone.
o To redeem shares through a service representative or automatically on
PhoneLink, call 1.800.225.5677. Whichever method you use, you may have a
check sent to the address on the account
statement, or, if you have linked your Fund account to your bank account on
AccountLink, you may have the proceeds sent to that bank account.

Are There Limits on Amounts Redeemed by Telephone?
Telephone Redemptions Paid by Check. Up to $100,000 may be redeemed by telephone
in any seven-day period. The check must be payable to all owners of record
of the shares and must be sent to the address on the account statement.
This service is not available within 30 days of changing the address on an
account.

Telephone Redemptions Through AccountLink or by Wire. There are no dollar limits
on telephone redemption proceeds sent to a bank account designated when
you establish AccountLink. Normally the ACH transfer to your bank is
initiated on the business day after the redemption. You do not receive
dividends on the proceeds of the shares you redeemed while they are
waiting to be transferred.

If you have requested Federal Funds wire privileges for your account, the
wire of the redemption proceeds 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.

CAN YOU SELL SHARES THROUGH your DEALER? The Distributor has made arrangements
to repurchase Fund shares from dealers and brokers on behalf of their customers.
Brokers or dealers may charge for that service. If your shares are held in the
name of your dealer, you must redeem them through your dealer.

HOW CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES AFFECT REDEMPTIONS. If you purchase shares
subject to a Class A, Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales
charge and redeem any of those shares during the applicable holding period for
the class of shares, the contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from
the redemption proceeds (unless you are eligible for a waiver of that sales
charge based on the categories listed in Appendix C to the Statement of
Additional Information and you advise the Transfer Agent of your eligibility for
the waiver when you place your redemption request.)

A contingent deferred sales charge will be based on the lesser of the net
asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption or the original net
asset value. A contingent deferred sales charge is not imposed on:
o the amount of your account value represented by an increase in net asset value over
the initial purchase price,
o shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions, or
o shares redeemed in the special circumstances described in Appendix C to the Statement
of Additional Information.
To determine whether a contingent deferred sales charge applies to a
redemption, the Fund redeems shares in the following order:
1. shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions, 2. shares held for the holding period that applies to the
class, and 3. shares held the longest during the holding period.

Contingent deferred sales charges are not charged when you exchange shares
of the Fund for shares of other Oppenheimer funds. However, if you exchange them
within the applicable contingent deferred sales charge holding period, the
holding period will carry over to the fund whose shares you acquire. Similarly,
if you acquire shares of this Fund by exchanging shares of another Oppenheimer
fund that are still subject to a contingent deferred sales charge holding
period, that holding period will carry over to this Fund.

How to Exchange Shares

Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of certain Oppenheimer funds at
net asset value per share at the time of exchange, without a sales charge.
Shares of the Fund can be purchased by exchange of shares of other Oppenheimer
funds on the same basis. To exchange shares, you must meet several conditions:
o Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in
your state of residence.
o The prospectuses of both funds must offer the exchange privilege. o You
must hold the shares you buy when you establish your account for at least
seven
days before you can exchange them. After the account is open seven days,
you can exchange shares every regular business day.
o You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the fund whose shares
you purchase by exchange.
o Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain and read its prospectus.
Shares of a particular class of the Fund may be exchanged only for shares
of the same
class in the other Oppenheimer funds. For example, you can exchange Class A
shares of this Fund only for Class A shares of another fund. In some cases,
sales charges may be imposed on exchange transactions. For tax purposes,
exchanges of shares involve a sale of the shares of the fund you own and a
purchase of the shares of the other fund, which may result in a capital gain or
loss. Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in the Statement of Additional
Information for more details.

You can find a list of Oppenheimer funds currently available for exchanges
in the Statement of Additional Information or obtain one by calling a service
representative at 1.800.225.5677. That list can change from time to time.

HOW DO you SUBMIT EXCHANGE REQUESTS? Exchanges may be requested in writing or by telephone:

Written Exchange Requests. Submit an OppenheimerFunds Exchange Request form,
signed by all owners of the account. Send it to the Transfer Agent at the
address on the back cover. Exchanges of shares held under certificates
cannot be processed unless the Transfer Agent receives the certificates
with the request.
Telephone Exchange Requests. Telephone exchange requests may be made either by
calling a service representative or by using PhoneLink for automated
exchanges by calling 1.800.225.5677. Telephone exchanges may be made only
between accounts that are registered with the same name(s) and address.
Shares held under certificates may not be exchanged by telephone.

ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON EXCHANGES? There are certain exchange policies you
should be aware of: o Shares are redeemed from one fund and purchased from the
other fund in the exchange
transaction on the same regular business day on which the Transfer Agent
receives an exchange request that conforms to the policies described
above. It must be received by the close of The New York Stock Exchange
that day, which is normally 4:00 P.M. but may be earlier on some days.
o The interests of the Fund's long-term shareholders and its ability to manage its
investments may be adversely affected when its shares are repeatedly bought and sold
in response to short-term market fluctuations--also known as "market timing." When
large dollar amounts are involved, the Fund may have difficulty implementing
long-term investment strategies, because it cannot predict how much cash it will have
to invest. Market timing also may force the Fund to sell portfolio securities at
disadvantageous times to raise the cash needed to buy a market timer's Fund shares.
These factors may hurt the Fund's performance and its shareholders. When the Manager
believes frequent trading would have a disruptive effect on the Fund's ability to
manage its investments, the Manager and the Fund may reject purchase orders and
exchanges into the Fund by any person, group or account that the Manager believes to
be a market timer.
o The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any
time. The Fund will provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by
applicable law, but it may impose changes at any time for emergency
purposes.
o If the Transfer Agent cannot exchange all the shares you request because
of a restriction cited above, only the shares eligible for exchange will
be exchanged.

Shareholder Account Rules and Policies

More information about the Fund's policies and procedures for buying, selling
and exchanging shares is contained in the Statement of Additional Information. A
$12 annual fee is assessed on any account valued at less than $500. The fee is
automatically deducted from accounts annually on or about the second to
last business day of September. See the Statement of Additional
Information, or visit the OppenheimerFunds website, to learn how you can
avoid this fee and for circumstances when this fee will not be assessed.
The offering of shares may be suspended during any period in which the
determination of net asset value is suspended, and the offering may be
suspended by the Board of Directors at any time the Board believes it is
in the Fund's best interest to do so.
Telephone transaction privileges for purchases, redemptions or exchanges may be
modified, suspended or terminated by the Fund at any time. The Fund will
provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable law. If
an account has more than one owner, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may
rely on the instructions of any one owner. Telephone privileges apply to
each owner of the account and the dealer representative of record for the
account unless the Transfer Agent receives cancellation instructions from
an owner of the account.
The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning
transactions and has adopted other procedures to confirm that telephone
instructions are genuine, by requiring callers to provide tax
identification numbers and other account data or by using PINs, and by
confirming such transactions in writing. The Transfer Agent and the Fund
will not be liable for losses or expenses arising out of telephone
instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
Redemption or transfer requests will not be honored until the Transfer Agent
receives all required documents in proper form. From time to time, the
Transfer Agent in its discretion may waive certain of the requirements for
redemptions stated in this Prospectus.
Dealers that perform account transactions for their clients by participating in
NETWORKING through the National Securities Clearing Corporation are
responsible for obtaining their clients' permission to perform those
transactions, and are responsible to their clients who are shareholders of
the Fund if the dealer performs any transaction erroneously or improperly.
The redemption price for shares will vary from day to day because the value of
the securities in the Fund's portfolio fluctuates. The redemption price,
which is the net asset value per share, will normally differ for each
class of shares. The redemption value of your shares may be more or less
than their original cost.
Payment for redeemed shares ordinarily is made in cash. It is forwarded by
check, or through AccountLink or by Federal Funds wire (as elected by the
shareholder) within seven days after the Transfer Agent receives
redemption instructions in proper form. However, under unusual
circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
payment may be delayed or suspended. For accounts registered in the name
of a broker-dealer, payment will normally be forwarded within three
business days after redemption.
The Transfer Agent may delay processing any type of redemption payment as
described under "How to Sell Shares" for recently purchased shares, but
only until the purchase payment has cleared. That delay may be as much as
10 days from the date the shares were purchased. That delay may be avoided
if you purchase shares by Federal Funds wire or certified check, or
arrange with your bank to provide telephone or written assurance to the
Transfer Agent that your purchase payment has cleared.
Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Fund if the account
value has fallen below $500 for reasons other than the fact that the
market value of shares has dropped. In some cases, involuntary redemptions
may be made to repay the Distributor for losses from the cancellation of
share purchase orders.
Sharesmay be "redeemed in kind" under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of
liquidity in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions). This means that
the redemption proceeds will be paid with liquid securities from the
Fund's portfolio.
"Backup withholding" of federal income tax may be applied against taxable
dividends, distributions and redemption proceeds (including exchanges) if
you fail to furnish the Fund your correct, certified Social Security or
Employer Identification Number when you sign your application, or if you
under-report your income to the Internal Revenue Service.

To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Fund will
mail only one copy of each prospectus, annual and semi-annual report and
annual notice of the Fund's privacy policy to shareholders having the same
last name and address on the Fund's records. The consolidation of these
mailings, called householding, benefits the Fund through reduced mailing
expense.

If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call
the Transfer Agent at 1.800.225.5677. You may also notify the Transfer
Agent in writing. Individual copies of prospectuses, reports and privacy
notices will be sent to you commencing within 30 days after the Transfer
Agent receives your request to stop householding.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends. The Fund intends to declare dividends separately for each class of
shares from net investment income on an annual basis and to pay them to
shareholders in December on a date selected by the Board of Directors. Dividends
and distributions paid to Class A shares will generally be higher than dividends
for Class B, Class C and Class N shares, which normally have higher expenses
than Class A shares. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee
that it will pay any dividends or distributions.

Capital Gains. The Fund may realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio
securities. If it does, it may make distributions out of any net short-term or
long-term capital gains in December of each year. The Fund may make supplemental
distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal
year. There can be no assurance that the Fund will pay any capital gains
distributions in a particular year.

WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE FOR RECEIVING DISTRIBUTIONS? When you open your
account, specify on your application how you want to receive your dividends and
distributions. You have four options:
Reinvest All Distributions in the Fund. You can elect to reinvest all dividends
and capital gains distributions in additional shares of the Fund.
Reinvest Dividends or Capital Gains. You can elect to reinvest some
distributions (dividends, short-term capital gains or long-term capital
gains distributions) in the Fund while receiving the other types of
distributions by check or having them sent to your bank account through
AccountLink.
Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive a check for all
dividends and capital gains distributions or have them sent to your bank
through AccountLink.
Reinvest Your Distributions in Another OppenheimerFunds Account. You can
reinvest all distributions in the same class of shares of another
OppenheimerFunds account you have established.

TAXES. If your shares are not held in a tax-deferred retirement account, you
should be aware of the following tax implications of investing in the Fund.
Distributions are subject to federal income tax and may be subject to state or
local taxes. Dividends paid from short-term capital gains and net investment
income are taxable as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains are taxable as
long-term capital gains when distributed to shareholders. It does not matter how
long you have held your shares. Whether you reinvest your distributions in
additional shares or take them in cash, the tax treatment is the same.

Every year the Fund will send you and the IRS a statement showing the
amount of any taxable distribution you received in the previous year. Any
long-term capital gains will be separately identified in the tax information the
Fund sends you after the end of the calendar year.

Avoid "Buying a Dividend." If you buy shares on or just before the ex-dividend
date, or just before the Fund declares a capital gains distribution, you
will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a portion of the
price back as a taxable dividend or capital gain.
Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions. Because the Fund's share prices
fluctuate, you may have a capital gain or loss when you sell or exchange
your shares. A capital gain or loss is the difference between the price
you paid for the shares and the price you received when you sold them. Any
capital gain is subject to capital gains tax.
Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by the Fund
may be considered a non-taxable return of capital to shareholders. If that
occurs, it will be identified in notices to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain federal income tax
information about your investment. You should consult with your tax advisor
about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's
financial performance for the past five fiscal years. Certain information
reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the
table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an
investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions). The information for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 has been
audited by KPMG LLP, the Fund's independent auditors, whose report, along with
the Fund's financial statements, is included in the Statement of Additional
Information, which is available on request. Another accounting firm audited the
information for the fiscal years prior to 2000.

ABOUT THE FUND

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

The investment objective, the principal investment policies and the main
risks of the Fund are described in the Prospectus. This Statement of Additional
Information contains supplemental information about those policies and risks and
the types of securities that the Fund's Sub-Advisor, OpCap Advisors (the
"Sub-Advisor"), can select for the Fund. Additional information is also provided
about the strategies that the Fund might use to try to achieve its objective.

The Fund's Investment Policies. The composition of the Fund's portfolio and the
techniques and strategies that the Fund's Sub-Advisor, may use in selecting
portfolio securities will vary over time. The Fund is not required to use all of
the investment techniques and strategies described below in seeking its goal. It
may use some of the special techniques and strategies at some times or not at
all.

In selecting securities for the Fund's portfolio, the Sub-Advisor
evaluates the merits of particular securities primarily through the exercise of
its own investment analysis. In the case of corporate issuers, that process may
include, among other things, evaluation of the issuer's historical operations,
prospects for the industry of which the issuer is part, the issuer's financial
condition, its pending product developments and business (and those of
competitors), the effect of general market and economic conditions on the
issuer's business, and legislative proposals that might affect the issuer. In
the case of foreign securities, when evaluating the securities of issuers in a
particular country, the Sub-Advisor may also consider the conditions of a
particular country's economy in relation to the U.S. economy or other foreign
economies, general political conditions in a country or region, the effect of
taxes, the efficiencies and costs of particular markets and other factors.

|X| Investments in Equity Securities. While the Fund currently emphasizes
investments in equity securities of mid-size and larger companies, the Fund does
not limit its investments in equity securities to issuers having a market
capitalization of a specified size or range, and therefore can invest in
securities of small-, mid- and large-capitalization issuers. At times, the Fund
might focus its equity investments in securities of one or more capitalization
ranges, based upon the Sub-Advisor's judgment of where the best market
opportunities are to seek the Fund's objective. At times, in the Sub-Advisor's
view, the market may favor or disfavor securities of issuers of a particular
capitalization range, and securities of mid-and small-capitalization issuers may
be subject to greater price volatility in general than securities of larger
companies. Therefore, if the Fund has substantial investments in mid-and/or
smaller-capitalization companies at times of market volatility, the Fund's share
price could fluctuate more than that of funds focusing on larger-capitalization
issuers.

|_| Value Investing. In selecting equity investments for the Fund's
portfolio, the portfolio manager currently uses a value investing style. In
using a value approach, the portfolio manager seeks stock and other equity
securities that appear to be temporarily undervalued, by various measures, such
as price/earnings ratios. This approach is subject to change and might not
necessarily be used in all cases. Value investing seeks stocks having prices
that are low in relation to their real worth or future prospects, in the hope
that the Fund will realize appreciation in the value of its holdings when other
investors realize the intrinsic value of the stock.

Using value investing requires research as to the issuer's underlying
financial condition and prospects. Some of the measures used to identify these
securities include, among others:
|_| Price/Earnings ratio, which is the stock's price divided by its
earnings per share. A stock having a price/earnings ratio lower than its
historical range, or the market as a whole or that of similar companies,
may offer attractive investment opportunities. |_| Price/book value ratio,
which is the stock price divided by the book value of the company per
share, which measures the company's stock price in relation to its asset
value.
|_| Dividend Yield is measured by dividing the annual dividend by the
stock price per share. |_| Valuation of Assets, which compares the stock
price to the value of the company's underlying assets, including their
projected value in the marketplace and liquidation value.

|_| Preferred Stocks. Preferred stock, unlike common stock, has a
stated dividend rate payable from the corporation's earnings. Preferred stock
dividends may be cumulative or non-cumulative, participating, or auction rate.
"Cumulative" dividend provisions require all or a portion of prior unpaid
dividends to be paid before dividends can be paid on the issuer's common stock.
Preferred stock may be "participating" stock, which means that it may be
entitled to a dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain cases.

If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less
attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. Preferred stock
may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as provisions allowing calls
or redemptions prior to maturity, which also have a negative impact on prices
when interest rates decline. Preferred stock also generally has a preference
over common stock on the distribution of a corporation's assets in the event of
liquidation of the corporation. The rights of preferred stock on distribution of
a corporation's assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate
to the rights associated with a corporation's debt securities.

|_| Rights and Warrants. Warrants basically are options to purchase
equity securities at specific prices valid for a specific period of time. Their
prices do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying
securities. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration
and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and
warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with
respect to the assets of the issuer. The Fund will not invest more than 5% of
its net assets in warrants. That limit does not apply to warrants that have been
acquired in units or attached to other securities.

|_| Convertible Securities. Convertible securities are debt
securities that are convertible into an issuer's common stock. Convertible
securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation's capital structure and
therefore are subject to less risk than common stock in case of the issuer's
bankruptcy or liquidation.

The value of a convertible security is a function of its "investment
value" and its "conversion value." If the investment value exceeds the
conversion value, the security will behave more like a debt security, and the
security's price will likely increase when interest rates fall and decrease when
rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds the investment value, the security
will behave more like an equity security: it will likely sell at a premium over
its conversion value, and its price will tend to fluctuate directly with the
price of the underlying security.

While some convertible securities are a form of debt security, in many
cases their conversion feature (allowing conversion into equity securities) may
cause them to be regarded by the Sub-Advisor more as "equity equivalents." As a
result, the credit rating assigned to the security has less impact on the
Sub-Advisor's investment decision with respect to convertible securities than in
the case of non-convertible fixed income securities. Convertible securities are
subject to the credit risks and interest rate risks described below. To
determine whether convertible securities should be regarded as "equity
equivalents," the Sub-Advisor may consider the following factors:

(1) whether, at the option of the investor, the convertible security can be
exchanged for a fixed number of shares of common stock of the issuer,
(2) whether the issuer of the convertible securities has restated its
earnings per share of common stock on a fully diluted basis
(considering the effect of conversion of the convertible securities),
and
(3) the extent to which the convertible security may be a defensive "equity
substitute," providing the ability to participate in any appreciation
in the price of the issuer's common stock.

|X| Investments in Debt Securities. The Fund can invest in a variety of
domestic and foreign debt securities including bonds, notes, debentures and
other debt securities, including U.S. Government securities. It can also invest
in short-term debt securities primarily for liquidity or defensive purposes.
Because the Fund currently emphasizes investments in equity securities, such as
stocks, it is not anticipated that more than 25% of the Fund's assets will be
invested in debt securities under normal market conditions.

Foreign debt securities are subject to the risks of foreign investing
described below. In general, domestic and foreign debt securities are also
subject to credit risk and interest rate risk.

|_| Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of
a debt security to meet interest and principal payment obligations as they
become due. In making investments in debt securities, the Sub-Advisor may rely
to some extent on the ratings of ratings organizations or it may use its own
research to evaluate a security's creditworthiness. The Fund's debt investments
can include investment grade and below investment-grade bonds (commonly referred
to as "junk bonds"). Investment-grade bonds are bonds rated at least "Baa" by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), at least "BBB" by Standard & Poor's
Rating Service ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or that have comparable ratings
by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. If the
securities the Fund buys are unrated, to be considered part of the Fund's
holdings of investment-grade securities they must be judged by the Sub-Advisor
to be of comparable quality to bonds rated as investment grade by a rating
organization. The debt security ratings definitions of the principal ratings
organizations are included in Appendix A to this Statement of Additional
Information.

|_| Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the
fluctuations in value of debt 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.

Fluctuations in the market value of the Fund's portfolio securities after
the Fund buys them normally do not affect the interest income payable on those
securities (unless the security's interest is payable on a variable rate pegged
to particular interest rate changes). However, those price fluctuations will be
reflected in the valuations of the securities, and therefore the Fund's net
asset values will be affected by those fluctuations.

|_| U.S. Government Securities. These are securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or other government agencies or
federally-chartered corporate entities referred to as "instrumentalities."
Obligations of U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities (including
mortgage-backed securities) may or may not be guaranteed or supported by the
"full faith and credit" of the United States. "Full faith and credit" means
generally that the taxing power of the U.S. government is pledged to the payment
of interest and repayment of principal on a security. Some are obligations
backed by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury; others, by
discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agencies'
obligations; while others are supported only by the credit of the
instrumentality.

All U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of
the United States. If the securities are not backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States, the owner of the securities must look principally to the
agency issuing the obligation for repayment and might not be able to assert a
claim against the United States in the event that the agency or instrumentality
does not meet its commitment. The Fund will invest in securities of U.S.
Government agencies and instrumentalities only when the Sub-Advisor is satisfied
that the credit risk with respect to such agency or instrumentality is minimal.

|_| Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. While it is not
currently anticipated that the Fund will invest more than 25% of its total
assets in lower-grade debt securities, the Fund can invest a portion of its
assets in these securities. Because lower-grade securities tend to offer higher
yields than investment-grade securities, the Fund could invest in lower grade
securities if the Sub-Advisor is trying to achieve greater income. In some
cases, the appreciation possibilities of lower-grade securities might be a
reason they are selected for the Fund's portfolio.

"Lower-grade" debt securities are those rated below "investment grade,"
which means they have a rating lower than "Baa" by Moody's or lower than "BBB"
by S&P or Fitch, or similar ratings by other nationally recognized rating
organizations. If they are unrated, and are determined by the Sub-Advisor to be
of comparable quality to debt securities rated below investment grade, they are
included in determining the percentage of the Fund's assets that can be invested
in lower-grade securities. The Fund can invest in securities rated as low as "C"
or "D."

Some of the special credit risks of lower-grade securities are discussed
in the Prospectus. There is a greater risk that the issuer may default on its
obligation to pay interest or to repay principal than in the case of investment
grade securities. The issuer's low creditworthiness may increase the potential
for its insolvency. An overall decline in values in the high yield bond market
is also more likely during a period of a general economic downturn. An economic
downturn or an increase in interest rates could severely disrupt the market for
high yield bonds, adversely affecting the values of outstanding bonds as well as
the ability of issuers to pay interest or repay principal. In the case of
foreign high yield bonds, these risks are in addition to the special risks of
foreign investing discussed in the Prospectus and in this Statement of
Additional Information.

However, the Fund's limitations on these investments may reduce some of
the risks to the Fund, as will the Fund's policy of diversifying its
investments. Additionally, to the extent they can be converted into stock,
convertible securities may be less subject to some of these risks than
non-convertible high yield bonds, since stock may be more liquid and less
affected by some of these risk factors.

While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by S&P or Fitch are
investment grade and are not regarded as junk bonds, those securities may be
subject to special risks, and have some speculative characteristics.

|X| Money Market Instruments. The following is a brief description of the
types of money market securities the Fund can invest in. Those money market
securities are high-quality, short-term debt instruments that are issued by the
U.S. Government, corporations, banks or other entities. They may have fixed,
variable or floating interest rates.

|_| U.S. Government Securities. These include obligations issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities, described above.

|_| Bank Obligations. The Fund can buy time deposits, certificates
of deposit and bankers' acceptances. Time deposits, other than overnight
deposits, may be subject to withdrawal penalties and, if so, they are deemed
"illiquid" investments.

The Fund can purchase bank obligations that are fully insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The FDIC insures the deposits of member
banks up to $100,000 per account. Insured bank obligations may have a limited
market and a particular investment of this type may be deemed "illiquid" unless
the Board of Directors of the Fund determines that a readily-available market
exists for that particular obligation, or unless the obligation is payable at
principal amount plus accrued interest on demand or within seven days after
demand.

|_| Commercial Paper. The Fund can invest in commercial paper if it
is rated within the top two rating categories of S&P and Moody's. If the paper
is not rated, it may be purchased if issued by a company having a credit rating
of at least "AA" by S&P or "Aa" by Moody's.

The Fund can buy commercial paper, including U.S. dollar-denominated
securities of foreign branches of U.S. banks, issued by other entities if the
commercial paper is guaranteed as to principal and interest by a bank,
government or corporation whose certificates of deposit or commercial paper may
otherwise be purchased by the Fund.

|_| Variable Amount Master Demand Notes. Master demand notes are
corporate obligations that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts by the
Fund at varying rates of interest under direct arrangements between the Fund, as
lender, and the borrower. They permit daily changes in the amounts borrowed. The
Fund has the right to increase the amount under the note at any time up to the
full amount provided by the note agreement, or to decrease the amount. The
borrower may prepay up to the full amount of the note without penalty. These
notes may or may not be backed by bank letters of credit.

Because these notes are direct lending arrangements between the lender and
borrower, it is not expected that there will be a trading market for them. There
is no secondary market for these notes, although they are redeemable (and thus
are immediately repayable by the borrower) at principal amount, plus accrued
interest, at any time. Accordingly, the Fund's right to redeem such notes is
dependent upon the ability of the borrower to pay principal and interest on
demand.

The Fund has no limitations on the type of issuer from whom these notes
will be purchased. However, in connection with such purchases and on an ongoing
basis, the Sub-Advisor will consider the earning power, cash flow and other
liquidity ratios of the issuer, and its ability to pay principal and interest on
demand, including a situation in which all holders of such notes made demand
simultaneously. Investments in master demand notes are subject to the limitation
on investments by the Fund in illiquid securities, described in the Prospectus,
unless they have a demand feature permitting them to be put back to the issuer
within seven days. The Fund does not intend that its investments in variable
amount master demand notes will exceed 5% of its total assets.

|X| Foreign Securities. The Fund can purchase equity and debt securities
issued by foreign companies or foreign governments or their agencies. "Foreign
securities" include equity and debt securities of companies organized under the
laws of countries other than the United States and debt securities of foreign
governments and their agencies and instrumentalities. Those securities may be
traded on foreign securities exchanges or in the foreign over-the-counter
markets.

Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American Depository
Receipts, European Depository Receipts or Global Depository Receipts, or that
are listed on a U.S. securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter
markets, are considered "foreign securities" for the purpose of the Fund's
investment allocations. That is because they are subject to many of the special
considerations and risks, discussed below, that apply to foreign securities
traded and held abroad.

Because the Fund can purchase securities denominated in foreign
currencies, a change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar
could result in a change in the amount of income the Fund has available for
distribution. Because a portion of the Fund's investment income may be received
in foreign currencies, the Fund will be required to compute its income in U.S.
dollars for distribution to shareholders, and therefore the Fund will absorb the
cost of currency fluctuations. After the Fund has distributed income, subsequent
foreign currency losses may result in the Fund's having distributed more income
in a particular fiscal period than was available from investment income, which
could result in a return of capital to shareholders.

Investing in foreign securities offers potential benefits not available
from investing solely in securities of domestic issuers. They include the
opportunity to invest in foreign issuers that appear to offer growth potential,
or in foreign countries with economic policies or business cycles different from
those of the U.S., or to reduce fluctuations in portfolio value by taking
advantage of foreign stock markets that do not move in a manner parallel to U.S.
markets. The Fund will hold foreign currency only in connection with the
purchase or sale of foreign securities.

|_| Foreign Debt Obligations. The debt obligations of foreign
governments and their agencies and instrumentalities may or may not be supported
by the full faith and credit of the foreign government. The Fund may buy
securities issued by certain "supra-national" entities, which include entities
designated or supported by governments to promote economic reconstruction or
development, international banking organizations and related government
agencies. Examples are the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development
(commonly called the "World Bank"), the Asian Development Bank and the
Inter-American Development Bank.

The governmental members of these supra-national entities are
"stockholders" that typically make capital contributions and may be committed to
make additional capital contributions if the entity is unable to repay its
borrowings. A supra-national entity's lending activities may be limited to a
percentage of its total capital, reserves and net income. There can be no
assurance that the constituent foreign governments will continue to be able or
willing to honor their capitalization commitments for those entities.

|_| Risks of Foreign Investing. Investments in foreign securities
may offer special opportunities for investing but also present special
additional risks and considerations not typically associated with investments in
domestic securities. Some of these additional risks are: o reduction of income
by foreign taxes; o fluctuation in value of foreign investments due to changes
in currency
rates or currency control regulations (for example, currency blockage); o
transaction charges for currency exchange; o lack of public information about
foreign issuers; o lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting
standards
in foreign countries comparable to those applicable to domestic
issuers;
o less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;
o greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the
U.S.;
o less governmental regulation of foreign issuers, stock exchanges and
brokers than in the U.S.;
o greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;
o higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;
o increased risks of delays in settlement of portfolio transactions or
loss of certificates for portfolio securities;
o possibilities in some countries of expropriation, confiscatory
taxation, political, financial or social instability or adverse
diplomatic developments; and
o unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.

In the past, U.S. government policies have discouraged certain
investments abroad by U.S. investors, through taxation or other restrictions,
and it is possible that such restrictions could be re-imposed.

|_| Special Risks of Emerging Markets. Emerging and developing
markets abroad may also offer special opportunities for growth investing but
have greater risks than more developed foreign markets, such as those in Europe,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. There may be even less liquidity in
their securities markets, and settlements of purchases and sales of securities
may be subject to additional delays. They are subject to greater risks of
limitations on the repatriation of income and profits because of currency
restrictions imposed by local governments. Those countries may also be subject
to the risk of greater political and economic instability, which can greatly
affect the volatility of prices of securities in those countries. The
Sub-Advisor will consider these factors when evaluating securities in these
markets.

|X| Portfolio Turnover. "Portfolio turnover" describes the rate at which
the Fund traded its portfolio securities during its last fiscal year. For
example, if a fund sold all of its securities during the year, its portfolio
turnover rate would have been 100% annually. The Fund's portfolio turnover rate
will fluctuate from year to year, but the Fund does not expect to have a
portfolio turnover rate of 100% or more. Increased portfolio turnover creates
higher brokerage and transaction costs for the Fund, which may reduce its
overall performance. Additionally, the realization of capital gains from selling
portfolio securities may result in distributions of taxable long-term capital
gains to shareholders, since the Fund will normally distribute all of its
capital gains realized each year to avoid excise taxes under the Internal
Revenue Code.

Other Investment Techniques and Strategies. In seeking its objective, the Fund
may from time to time use the types of investment strategies and investments
described below. It is not required to use all of these strategies at all times
and at times may not use them.

|X| Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund may invest in
securities of small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in
operation for less than three years, including the operations of any
predecessors. Securities of these companies may be subject to volatility in
their prices. They may have a limited trading market, which may adversely affect
the Fund's ability to dispose of them and can reduce the price the Fund might be
able to obtain for them. Other investors that own a security issued by a small,
unseasoned issuer for which there is limited liquidity might trade the security
when the Fund is attempting to dispose of its holdings of that security. In that
case the Fund might receive a lower price for its holdings than might otherwise
be obtained. These are more of the speculative securities and can increase the
Fund's overall portfolio risks.

Investment in Other Investment Companies. The Fund can also invest in the
securities of other investment companies, which can include open-end funds,
closed-end funds and unit investment trusts, subject to the limits set forth in
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") that apply to
those types of investments. For example, the Fund can invest in Exchange-Traded
Funds, which are typically open-end funds or unit investment trusts, listed on a
stock exchange. The Fund might do so as a way of gaining exposure to the
segments of the equity or fixed-income markets represented by the
Exchange-Traded Fund's portfolio, at times when the Fund may not be able to buy
those portfolio securities directly.

Investing in another investment company may involve the payment of
substantial premiums above the value of such investment company's portfolio
securities and is subject to limitations under the Investment Company Act. The
Fund does not intend to invest in other investment companies unless the Manager
believes that the potential benefits of the investment justify the payment of
any premiums or sales charges. At the same time, the Fund would bear its own
management fees and other expenses. As a shareholder of an investment company,
the Fund would be subject to its ratable share of that investment company's
expenses, including its advisory and administration expenses. The Fund does not
anticipate investing a substantial amount of its net assets in shares of other
investment companies.

|X| "When-Issued" and "Delayed-Delivery" Transactions. The Fund can invest
in securities on a "when-issued" basis and can purchase or sell securities on a
"delayed-delivery" or "forward commitment" basis. When-issued and
delayed-delivery are terms that refer to securities whose terms and indenture
are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for
immediate delivery. The Fund limits its when-issued commitments to not more than
15% of its net assets.

When such transactions are negotiated, the price (which is generally
expressed in yield terms) is fixed at the time the commitment is made. Delivery
and payment for the securities take place at a later date (generally within 45
days of the date the offer is accepted). The securities are subject to change in
value from market fluctuations during the period until settlement. The value at
delivery may be less than the purchase price. For example, changes in interest
rates in a direction other than that expected by the Sub-Advisor before
settlement will affect the value of such securities and may cause a loss to the
Fund. During the period between purchase and settlement, the Fund makes no
payment to the issuer and no interest accrues to the Fund from the investment
until it receives the security as settlement. There is a risk of loss to the
Fund if the value of the security changes prior to the settlement date, and
there is the risk that the other party may not perform.

The Fund will engage in when-issued transactions to secure what the
Sub-Advisor considers to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of
entering into the obligation. When the Fund enters into a when-issued or
delayed-delivery transaction, it relies on the other party to complete the
transaction. Its failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to
obtain the security at a price and yield the Sub-Advisor considers to be
advantageous.

When the Fund engages in when-issued and delayed-delivery transactions, it
does so for the purpose of acquiring or selling securities consistent with its
investment objective and policies for its portfolio or for delivery pursuant to
options contracts it has entered into, and not for the purpose of investment
leverage. Although the Fund will enter into delayed-delivery or when-issued
purchase transactions to acquire securities, it may dispose of a commitment
prior to settlement. If the Fund chooses to dispose of the right to acquire a
when-issued security prior to its acquisition or to dispose of its right to
delivery or receive against a forward commitment, it may incur a gain or loss.

At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase or sell a security
on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, it records the transaction on its
books and reflects the value of the security purchased in determining the Fund's
net asset value. In a sale transaction, it records the proceeds to be received.
The Fund will identify on its books liquid assets at least equal in value to the
value of the Fund's purchase commitments until the Fund pays for the investment.

When-issued and delayed-delivery transactions can be used by the Fund as a
defensive technique to hedge against anticipated changes in interest rates and
prices. For instance, in periods of rising interest rates and falling prices,
the Fund might sell securities in its portfolio on a forward commitment basis to
attempt to limit its exposure to anticipated falling prices. In periods of
falling interest rates and rising prices, the Fund might sell portfolio
securities and purchase the same or similar securities on a when-issued or
delayed-delivery basis to obtain the benefit of currently higher cash yields.

|X| Repurchase Agreements. The Fund can acquire securities subject to
repurchase agreements. It might do so for liquidity purposes to meet anticipated
redemptions of Fund shares, or pending the investment of the proceeds from sales
of Fund shares, or pending the settlement of portfolio securities transactions.

In a repurchase transaction, the Fund buys a security from, and
simultaneously resells it to, an approved vendor for delivery on an agreed-upon
future date. The resale price exceeds the purchase price by an amount that
reflects an agreed-upon interest rate effective for the period during which the
repurchase agreement is in effect. Approved vendors include U.S. commercial
banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks, or broker-dealers that have been
designated as primary dealers in Government securities. They must meet credit
requirements set by the Fund's investment Manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the
"Manager") from time to time.

The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery
pursuant to the resale typically occurs within one to five days of the purchase.
Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are subject to the
Fund's limits on holding illiquid investments. There is no limit on the amount
of the Fund's net assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements having
maturities of seven days or less.

Repurchase agreements, considered "loans" under the Investment Company
Act, are collateralized by the underlying security. The Fund's repurchase
agreements require that at all times while the repurchase agreement is in
effect, the value of the collateral must equal or exceed the repurchase price to
fully collateralize the repayment obligation. However, if the vendor fails to
pay the resale price on the delivery date, the Fund may incur costs in disposing
of the collateral and may experience losses if there is any delay in its ability
to do so. The Sub-Advisor will monitor the vendor's creditworthiness to confirm
that the vendor is financially sound and will continuously monitor the
collateral's value.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated entities managed by the
Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint repurchase
accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements,
secured by U.S. Government securities. Securities that are pledged as collateral
for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements
mature. Each joint repurchase arrangement requires that the market value of the
collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however,
in the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention or sale
of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

|X| Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Fund can use reverse repurchase
agreements and would normally do so as a cash management tool. These agreements
create leverage, a speculative investment technique. The Fund does not currently
use reverse repurchase agreements, but may do so in the future. When the Fund
enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it segregates on its books an amount
of cash or U.S. Government securities equal in value to the purchase price of
the securities it has committed to buy, plus accrued interest, until the payment
is made to the seller. Before the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase
agreement, the Manager evaluates the creditworthiness of the seller, typically a
bank or broker-dealer. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be a form
of borrowing by the Fund and are subject to the Fund's limitations on borrowing.

These agreements are subject to certain risks. The market value of the
securities retained in lieu of sale by the Fund may decline more or appreciate
more than the securities the Fund has sold but is obligated to repurchase. If
the buyer of the securities under the agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes
insolvent, there may be delays in the Fund's use of the proceeds.

|X| Illiquid and Restricted Securities. To enable the Fund to sell its
holdings of a restricted security not registered under applicable securities
laws, the Fund may have to cause those securities to be registered. The expenses
of registering restricted securities may be negotiated by the Fund with the
issuer at the time the Fund buys the securities. When the Fund must arrange
registration because the Fund wishes to sell the security, a considerable period
may elapse between the time the decision is made to sell the security and the
time the security is registered so that the Fund could sell it. The Fund would
bear the risks of any downward price fluctuation during that period.

The Fund may also acquire restricted securities through private
placements. Those securities have contractual restrictions on their public
resale. Those restrictions might limit the Fund's ability to dispose of the
securities and might lower the amount the Fund could realize upon the sale.

The Fund has limitations that apply to purchases of restricted securities,
as stated in the Prospectus. Those percentage restrictions do not limit
purchases of restricted securities that are eligible for sale to qualified
institutional purchasers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, if those
securities have been determined to be liquid by the Manager and the Sub-Advisor
under Board-approved guidelines. Those guidelines take into account the trading
activity for such securities and the availability of reliable pricing
information, among other factors. If there is a lack of trading interest in a
particular Rule 144A security, the Fund's holdings of that security may be
considered to be illiquid.

|X| Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund can lend its portfolio
securities to certain types of eligible borrowers approved by the Board of
Directors. It may do so to try to provide income or to raise cash for liquidity
purposes. As a fundamental policy, these loans are limited to not more than
one-third of the value of the Fund's total assets. There are some risks in
connection with securities lending. The Fund might experience a delay in
receiving additional collateral to secure a loan, or a delay in recovery of the
loaned securities. The Fund presently does not intend to engage in loans of
securities, but if the Fund does lend its securities, those loans are not
expected to exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets.

The Fund must receive collateral for a loan. Under current applicable
regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), on each business day the
loan collateral must be at least equal to the value of the loaned securities. It
must consist of cash, bank letters of credit, securities of the U.S. Government
or its agencies or instrumentalities, or other cash equivalents in which the
Fund is permitted to invest. To be acceptable as collateral, letters of credit
must obligate a bank to pay amounts demanded by the Fund if the demand meets the
terms of the letter. The terms of the letter of credit and the issuing bank must
both be satisfactory to the Fund.

When it lends securities, the Fund receives amounts equal to the dividends
or interest on loaned securities. It also receives one or more of (a) negotiated
loan fees, (b) interest on securities used as collateral, and (c) interest on
any short-term debt securities purchased with such loan collateral. Either type
of interest may be shared with the borrower. The Fund may also pay reasonable
finder's, custodian and administrative fees in connection with these loans. The
terms of the Fund's loans must meet applicable tests under the Internal Revenue
Code and must permit the Fund to reacquire loaned securities on five days'
notice or in time to vote on any important matter.

|X| Borrowing. As a fundamental policy, the Fund cannot borrow money
except as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, and loans
may not exceed one third of the lower of the market value or cost of its total
assets. Additionally, as part of that fundamental policy, the Fund will not
purchase securities at times when loans exceed 5% of its total assets.

The Fund may borrow only from banks. Currently, under the Investment
Company Act, a mutual fund may borrow only from banks and the maximum amount it
may borrow is up to one-third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed
less all liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowing. If the value of the
Fund's assets fails to meet this 300% asset coverage requirement, the Fund will
reduce its bank debt within three days to meet the requirement. To do so, the
Fund might have to sell a portion of its investments at a disadvantageous time.

The Fund will pay interest on these loans, and that interest expense will
raise the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns. If it does
borrow, its expenses will be greater than comparable funds that do not borrow.
Additionally, the Fund's net asset value per share might fluctuate more than
that of funds that do not borrow.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Arrangements. Consistent with its fundamental
policies and pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Fund may engage in borrowing and lending
activities with other funds in the OppenheimerFunds complex. Borrowing money
from affiliated funds may afford the Fund the flexibility to use the most
cost-effective alternative to satisfy its borrowing requirements. Lending money
to an affiliated fund may allow the Fund to obtain a higher rate of return than
it could from interest rates on alternative short-term investments.
Implementation of interfund lending will be accomplished consistent with
applicable regulatory requirements, including the provisions of the SEC order.

o Interfund Borrowing. The Fund will not borrow from affiliated funds unless the
terms of the borrowing arrangement are at least as favorable as the terms the
Fund could otherwise negotiate with a third party. To assure that the Fund will
not be disadvantaged by borrowing from an affiliated fund, certain safeguards
may be implemented. Examples of these safeguards include the following:
o the Fund will not borrow money from affiliated funds unless the
interest rate is more favorable than available bank loan rates;
o the Fund's borrowing from affiliated funds must be consistent
with its investment objective and investment policies;
o the loan rates will be the average of the overnight repurchase
agreement rate available through the OppenheimerFunds joint
repurchase agreement account and a pre-established formula based
on quotations from independent banks to approximate the lowest
interest rate at which bank loans would be available to the Fund;
o if the Fund has outstanding borrowings from all sources greater
than 10% of its total assets, then the Fund must secure each
additional outstanding interfund loan by segregating liquid
assets of the Fund as collateral;
o the Fund cannot borrow from an affiliated fund in excess of 125%
of its total redemptions for the preceding seven days;
o each interfund loan may be repaid on any day by the Fund; and
o the Directors will be provided with a report of all interfund loans and
the Directors will monitor all such borrowings to ensure that the
Fund's participation is appropriate.

There is a risk that a borrowing fund could have a loan called on one
day's notice. In that circumstance, the Fund might have to borrow from a bank at
a higher interest cost if money to lend were not available from another
Oppenheimer fund.

|X| Hedging. Although the Fund can use hedging instruments, it is not
obligated to use them in seeking its objective. It does not currently
contemplate using them to any significant degree. The Fund may use hedging to
attempt to protect against declines in the market value of the Fund's portfolio,
to permit the Fund to retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio
securities which have appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for
investment reasons. To do so, the Fund could:
|_| sell futures contracts,
|_| buy puts on such futures or on securities, or |_| write covered calls
on securities or futures.

The Fund can use hedging to establish a position in the securities market
as a temporary substitute for purchasing particular securities. In that case the
Fund would normally seek to purchase the securities and then terminate that
hedging position. The Fund might also use this type of hedge to attempt to
protect against the possibility that its portfolio securities would not be fully
included in a rise in value of the market. To do so, the Fund could:
|_| buy futures, or
|_| buy calls on such futures or on securities.

The Fund's strategy of hedging with futures and options on futures will be
incidental to the Fund's activities in the underlying cash market. The
particular hedging instruments the Fund can use are described below. The Fund
may employ new hedging instruments and strategies when they are developed, if
those investment methods are consistent with the Fund's investment objective and
are permissible under applicable regulations governing the Fund.

|_| Futures. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to
(1) broadly-based stock indices (these are referred to as "stock index
futures"), (2) foreign currencies (these are referred to as "forward
contracts"), and (3) commodities (these are referred to as "commodity futures").

A broadly-based stock index is used as the basis for trading stock index
futures. These indices may in some cases be based on stocks of issuers in a
particular industry or group of industries. A stock index assigns relative
values to the common stocks included in the index and its value fluctuates in
response to the changes in value of the underlying stocks. A stock index cannot
be purchased or sold directly. These contracts obligate the seller to deliver,
and the purchaser to take, cash to settle the futures transactions. There is no
delivery made of the underlying securities to settle the futures obligation.
Either party may also settle the transaction by entering into an offsetting
contract.

The Fund can invest a portion of its assets in commodity futures
contracts. Commodity futures may be based upon commodities within five main
commodity groups: (1) energy, which includes crude oil, natural gas, gasoline
and heating oil; (2) livestock, which includes cattle and hogs; (3) agriculture,
which includes wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, coffee, sugar and cocoa; (4)
industrial metals, which includes aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin and zinc;
and (5) precious metals, which includes gold, platinum and silver. The Fund may
purchase and sell commodity futures contracts, options on futures contracts and
options and futures on commodity indices with respect to these five main
commodity groups and the individual commodities within each group, as well as
other types of commodities.

No money is paid or received by the Fund on the purchase or sale of a
future. Upon entering into a futures transaction, the Fund will be required to
deposit an initial margin payment with the futures commission merchant (the
"futures broker"). Initial margin payments will be deposited with the Fund's
custodian bank in an account registered in the futures broker's name. However,
the futures broker can gain access to that account only under specified
conditions. As the future is marked to market (that is, its value on the Fund's
books is changed) to reflect changes in its market value, subsequent margin
payments, called variation margin, will be paid to or by the futures broker
daily.

At any time prior to expiration of the future, the Fund may elect to close
out its position by taking an opposite position, at which time a final
determination of variation margin is made and any additional cash must be paid
by or released to the Fund. Any loss or gain on the future is then realized by
the Fund for tax purposes. All futures transactions (except forward contracts)
are effected through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange on which the
contracts are traded.

|_| Put and Call Options. The Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of put
options ("puts") and call options ("calls"). The Fund can buy and sell
exchange-traded and over-the-counter put and call options, including options on
broadly-based stock indices, securities, foreign currencies and stock index
futures.

|_| Writing Covered Call Options. The Fund can write (that is, sell)
covered calls. If the Fund sells a call option, it must be covered. For options
on securities, that means the Fund must own the security subject to the call
while the call is outstanding. For stock index options, that means the call must
be covered by segregating liquid assets to enable the Fund to satisfy its
obligations if the call is exercised. Up to 25% of the Fund's total assets may
be subject to calls the Fund writes.

When the Fund writes a call on a security, it receives cash (a premium).
For calls on securities, the Fund agrees to sell the underlying security to a
purchaser of a corresponding call on the same security during the call period at
a fixed exercise price regardless of market price changes during the call
period. The call period is usually not more than nine months. The exercise price
may differ from the market price of the underlying security. The Fund has the
risk of loss that the price of the underlying security may decline during the
call period. That risk may be offset to some extent by the premium the Fund
receives. If the value of the investment does not rise above the call price, it
is likely that the call will lapse without being exercised. In that case the
Fund would keep the cash premium and the investment.

When the Fund writes a call on an index, it receives cash (a premium). If
the buyer of a call on a stock index exercises it, the Fund will pay an amount
of cash equal to the difference between the closing price of the call and the
exercise price, multiplied by a specified multiple that determines the total
value of the call for each point of difference. If the value of the underlying
investment does not rise above the call price, it is likely that the call will
lapse without being exercised. In that case the Fund would keep the cash
premium.

Settlement of puts and calls on broadly-based stock indices is in cash.
Gain or loss on options on stock indices depends on changes in the index in
question (and thus on price movements in the stock market generally).

The Fund's custodian, or a securities depository acting for the custodian,
will act as the Fund's escrow agent, through the facilities of the Options
Clearing Corporation ("OCC"), as to the investments on which the Fund has
written calls traded on exchanges or as to other acceptable escrow securities.
In that way, no margin will be required for such transactions. The OCC will
release the securities on the expiration of the option or when the Fund enters
into a closing transaction.

If the Fund writes an over-the-counter ("OTC") option, it will enter into
an arrangement with a primary U.S. Government securities dealer which will
establish a formula price at which the Fund will have the absolute right to
repurchase that OTC option. The formula price will generally be based on a
multiple of the premium received for the option, plus the amount by which the
option is exercisable below the market price of the underlying security (that
is, the option is "in the money"). If the Fund writes an OTC option, it will
treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on holding illiquid
securities) the mark-to-market value of any OTC option it holds, unless the
option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker.

To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, the Fund may
purchase a corresponding call in a "closing purchase transaction." The Fund will
then realize a profit or loss, depending upon whether the net of the amount of
the option transaction costs and the premium received on the call the Fund wrote
is more or less than the price of the call the Fund purchases to close out the
transaction. The Fund may realize a profit if the call expires unexercised,
because the Fund will retain the premium it received when it wrote the call. Any
such profits are considered short-term capital gains for Federal income tax
purposes, as are the premiums on lapsed calls. When distributed by the Fund they
are taxable as ordinary income. If the Fund cannot effect a closing purchase
transaction due to the lack of a market, it will have to hold the escrowed
assets in escrow until the call expires or is exercised.

The Fund may also write calls on a futures contract without owning the
futures contract or securities deliverable under the contract. To do so, at the
time the call is written, the Fund must cover the call by segregating an
equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets on the Fund's books. The Fund will
segregate additional liquid assets if the value of the segregated assets drops
below 100% of the current value of the future. Because of this segregation
requirement, in no circumstances would the Fund's receipt of an exercise notice
as to that future require the Fund to deliver a futures contract. It would
simply put the Fund in a short futures position, which is permitted by the
Fund's hedging policies.

|_| Writing Put Options. The Fund can sell put options on stock
indices, foreign currencies or stock index futures. If the Fund writes a put,
the put must be covered by segregated liquid assets on the Fund's books. The
Fund will not write puts if, as a result, more than 25% of the Fund's net assets
would have to be segregated to cover such put options.

The premium the Fund receives from writing a put represents a profit, as
long as the price of the underlying investment remains equal to or above the
exercise price of the put. However, the Fund also assumes the obligation during
the option period to settle the transaction in cash with the buyer of the put at
the exercise price, even if the value of the underlying investment falls below
the exercise price. If a put the Fund has written expires unexercised, the Fund
realizes a gain in the amount of the premium less the transaction costs
incurred. If the put is exercised, the Fund must fulfill its obligation to
settle in cash at the exercise price. That price will usually exceed the market
value of the investment at that time.

As long as the Fund's obligation as the put writer continues, it may be
assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through which the put was sold.
That notice will require the Fund to settle the transaction in cash at the
exercise price. The Fund has no control over when it may be required to settle
the transaction, since it may be assigned an exercise notice at any time prior
to the termination of its obligation as the writer of the put. That obligation
terminates upon expiration of the put. It may also terminate if, before it
receives an exercise notice, the Fund effects a closing purchase transaction by
purchasing a put of the same series as it sold. Once the Fund has been assigned
an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction.

The Fund may decide to effect a closing purchase transaction to realize a
profit on an outstanding put option it has written. The Fund will realize a
profit or loss from a closing purchase transaction depending on whether the cost
of the transaction is less or more than the premium received from writing the
put option. Any profits from writing puts are considered short-term capital
gains for federal tax purposes, and when distributed by the Fund, are taxable as
ordinary income.

|_| Purchasing Calls and Puts. The Fund can buy calls on securities it
intends to purchase and puts on securities that it owns. The Fund may purchase
calls to protect against the possibility that the Fund's portfolio will not
participate in an anticipated rise in the securities market.

When the Fund buys a call (other than in a closing purchase transaction),
it pays a premium. Buying a call on a security or future gives the Fund the
right to buy the underlying investment from a seller of a corresponding call on
the same investment during the call period at a fixed exercise price. The Fund
benefits only if it sells the call at a profit or if, during the call period,
the market price of the underlying investment is above the sum of the call price
plus the transaction costs and the premium paid for the call and the Fund
exercises the call. If the Fund does not exercise the call or sell it (whether
or not at a profit), the call will become worthless at its expiration date. In
that case the Fund will have paid the premium but lost the right to purchase the
underlying investment.

In the case of a purchase of a call on a stock index, if the Fund
exercises the call during the call period, a seller of a corresponding call on
the same index will pay the Fund an amount of cash to settle the call if the
closing level of the stock index upon which the call is based is greater than
the exercise price of the call. That cash payment is equal to the difference
between the closing price of the call and the exercise price of the call times a
specified multiple (the "multiplier") which determines the total dollar value
for each point of difference.

When the Fund buys a put, it pays a premium. It has the right during the
put period to require a seller of a corresponding put, upon the Fund's exercise
of its put, to buy the underlying security (in the case of puts on securities or
futures) or in the case of puts on stock indices, to deliver cash to the Fund to
settle the put if the closing level of the stock index upon which the put is
based is less than the exercise price of the put. That cash payment is
determined by the multiplier, in the same manner as described above as to calls.

Buying a put on a security or future enables the Fund to sell the
underlying investment to a seller of a corresponding put on the same investment
during the put period at a fixed exercise price. Buying a put on securities or
futures the Fund owns enables the Fund to attempt to protect itself during the
put period against a decline in the value of the underlying investment below the
exercise price by selling the underlying investment at the exercise price to a
seller of a corresponding put. If the market price of the underlying investment
is equal to or above the exercise price and, as a result, the put is not
exercised or resold, the put will become worthless at its expiration date. In
that case the Fund will have paid the premium but lost the right to sell the
underlying investment. However, the Fund may sell the put prior to its
expiration. That sale may or may not be at a profit.

Buying a put on an investment the Fund does not own (such as an index or
future) permits the Fund to resell the put or to buy the underlying investment
and sell it at the exercise price. The resale price will vary inversely to the
price of the underlying investment. If the market price of the underlying
investment is above the exercise price and, as a result, the put is not
exercised, the put will become worthless on its expiration date.

When the Fund purchases a put on a stock index, the put protects the Fund
to the extent that the index moves in a similar pattern to the securities the
Fund holds. The Fund can resell the put. The resale price of the put will vary
inversely with the price of the underlying investment. If the market price of
the underlying investment is above the exercise price, and as a result the put
is not exercised, the put will become worthless on the expiration date. In the
event of a decline in price of the underlying investment, the Fund could
exercise or sell the put at a profit to attempt to offset some or all of its
loss on its portfolio securities.

The Fund may buy a call or put only if, after the purchase, the value of
all call and put options held by the Fund will not exceed 5% of the Fund's total
assets.

|_| Buying and Selling Options on Foreign Currencies. The Fund can
buy and sell calls and puts on foreign currencies. They include puts and calls
that trade on a securities or commodities exchange or in the over-the-counter
markets or are quoted by major recognized dealers in such options. The Fund
could use these calls and puts to try to protect against declines in the dollar
value of foreign securities and increases in the dollar cost of foreign
securities the Fund wants to acquire.

If the Sub-Advisor anticipates a rise in the dollar value of a foreign
currency in which securities to be acquired are denominated, the increased cost
of those securities may be partially offset by purchasing calls or writing puts
on that foreign currency. If the Sub-Advisor anticipates a decline in the dollar
value of a foreign currency, the decline in the dollar value of portfolio
securities denominated in that currency might be partially offset by writing
calls or purchasing puts on that foreign currency. However, the currency rates
could fluctuate in a direction adverse to the Fund's position. The Fund will
then have incurred option premium payments and transaction costs without a
corresponding benefit.

A call the Fund writes on a foreign currency is "covered" if the Fund owns
the underlying foreign currency covered by the call or has an absolute and
immediate right to acquire that foreign currency without additional cash
consideration (or it can do so for additional cash consideration held in a
segregated account) upon conversion or exchange of other foreign currency held
in its portfolio.

|_| Risks of Hedging with Options and Futures. The use of hedging
instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that
are different than what is required for normal portfolio management. If the
Sub-Advisor uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market
conditions incorrectly, hedging strategies may reduce the Fund's return. The
Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its futures and options
positions were not correlated with its other investments. The Fund's option
activities may affect its costs.

The Fund's option activities could affect its portfolio turnover rate and
brokerage commissions. The exercise of calls written by the Fund could cause the
Fund to sell related portfolio securities, thus increasing its turnover rate.
The exercise by the Fund of puts on securities will cause the sale of underlying
investments, increasing portfolio turnover. Although the decision whether to
exercise a put it holds is within the Fund's control, holding a put might cause
the Fund to sell the related investments for reasons that would not exist in the
absence of the put.

The Fund could pay a brokerage commission each time it buys a call or put,
sells a call or put, or buys or sells an underlying investment in connection
with the exercise of a call or put. Those commissions could be higher on a
relative basis than the commissions for direct purchases or sales of the
underlying investments. Premiums paid for options are small in relation to the
market value of the underlying investments. Consequently, put and call options
offer large amounts of leverage. The leverage offered by trading in options
could result in the Fund's net asset value being more sensitive to changes in
the value of the underlying investment.

If a covered call written by the Fund is exercised on an investment that
has increased in value, the Fund will be required to sell the investment at the
call price. It will not be able to realize any profit if the investment has
increased in value above the call price.

An option position may be closed out only on a market that provides
secondary trading for options of the same series, and there is no assurance that
a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option. The Fund might
experience losses if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid
market for the future or option.

There is a risk in using short hedging by selling futures or purchasing
puts on broadly-based indices or futures to attempt to protect against declines
in the value of the Fund's portfolio securities. The risk is that the prices of
the futures or the applicable index will correlate imperfectly with the behavior
of the cash prices of the Fund's securities. For example, it is possible that
while the Fund has used hedging instruments in a short hedge, the market may
advance and the value of the securities held in the Fund's portfolio might
decline. If that occurred, the Fund would lose money on the hedging instruments
and also experience a decline in the value of its portfolio securities. However,
while this could occur for a very brief period or to a very small degree, over
time the value of a diversified portfolio of securities will tend to move in the
same direction as the indices upon which the hedging instruments are based.

The risk of imperfect correlation increases as the composition of the
Fund's portfolio diverges from the securities included in the applicable index.
To compensate for the imperfect correlation of movements in the price of the
portfolio securities being hedged and movements in the price of the hedging
instruments, the Fund might use hedging instruments in a greater dollar amount
than the dollar amount of portfolio securities being hedged. It might do so if
the historical volatility of the prices of the portfolio securities being hedged
is more than the historical volatility of the applicable index.

The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets are
subject to distortions, due to differences in the nature of those markets.
First, all participants in the futures market are subject to margin deposit and
maintenance requirements. Rather than meeting additional margin deposit
requirements, investors may close futures contracts through offsetting
transactions which could distort the normal relationship between the cash and
futures markets. Second, the liquidity of the futures market depends on
participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking
delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced, thus producing distortion. Third, from
the point of view of speculators, the deposit requirements in the futures market
are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities markets. Therefore,
increased participation by speculators in the futures market may cause temporary
price distortions.

The Fund can use hedging instruments to establish a position in the
securities markets as a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual
securities (long hedging) by buying futures and/or calls on such futures,
broadly-based indices or on securities. It is possible that when the Fund does
so the market might decline. If the Fund then concludes not to invest in
securities because of concerns that the market might decline further or for
other reasons, the Fund will realize a loss on the hedging instruments that is
not offset by a reduction in the price of the securities purchased.

|_| Forward Contracts. Forward contracts are foreign currency exchange
contracts. They are used to buy or sell foreign currency for future delivery at
a fixed price. The Fund uses them to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of a
security denominated in a foreign currency that the Fund has bought or sold, or
to protect against possible losses from changes in the relative values of the
U.S. dollar and a foreign currency. The Fund limits its exposure in foreign
currency exchange contracts in a particular foreign currency to the amount of
its assets denominated in that currency or a closely-correlated currency. The
Fund may also use "cross-hedging" where the Fund hedges against changes in
currencies other than the currency in which a security it holds is denominated.

Under a forward contract, one party agrees to purchase, and another party
agrees to sell, a specific currency at a future date. That date may be any fixed
number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties. The
transaction price is set at the time the contract is entered into. These
contracts are traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly among currency
traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.

The Fund may use forward contracts to protect against uncertainty in the
level of future exchange rates. The use of forward contracts does not eliminate
the risk of fluctuations in the prices of the underlying securities the Fund
owns or intends to acquire, but it does fix a rate of exchange in advance.
Although forward contracts may reduce the risk of loss from a decline in the
value of the hedged currency, at the same time they limit any potential gain if
the value of the hedged currency increases.

When the Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a
security denominated in a foreign currency, or when it anticipates receiving
dividend payments in a foreign currency, the Fund might desire to "lock-in" the
U.S. dollar price of the security or the U.S. dollar equivalent of the dividend
payments. To do so, the Fund could enter into a forward contract for the
purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in the underlying
transaction, in a fixed amount of U.S. dollars per unit of the foreign currency.
This is called a "transaction hedge." The transaction hedge will protect the
Fund against a loss from an adverse change in the currency exchange rates during
the period between the date on which the security is purchased or sold or on
which the payment is declared, and the date on which the payments are made or
received.

The Fund could also use forward contracts to lock in the U.S. dollar value
of portfolio positions. This is called a "position hedge." When the Fund
believes that foreign currency may suffer a substantial decline against the U.S.
dollar, it could enter into a forward contract to sell an amount of that foreign
currency approximating the value of some or all of the Fund's portfolio
securities denominated in that foreign currency. When the Fund believes that the
U.S. dollar may suffer a substantial decline against a foreign currency, it
might enter into a forward contract to buy that foreign currency for a fixed
dollar amount. Alternatively, the Fund could enter into a forward contract to
sell a different foreign currency for a fixed U.S. dollar amount if the Fund
believes that the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold pursuant
to its forward contract will fall whenever there is a decline in the U.S. dollar
value of the currency in which portfolio securities of the Fund are denominated.
That is referred to as a "cross hedge."

The Fund will cover its short positions in these cases by identifying on
the Fund's books liquid assets having a value equal to the aggregate amount of
the Fund's commitment under forward contracts. The Fund will not enter into
forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts if the
consummation of the contracts would obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of
foreign currency in excess of the value of the Fund's portfolio securities or
other assets denominated in that currency or another currency that is the
subject of the hedge. However, to avoid excess transactions and transaction
costs, the Fund may maintain a net exposure to forward contracts in excess of
the value of the Fund's portfolio securities or other assets denominated in
foreign currencies if the excess amount is "covered" by liquid securities
denominated in any currency. The cover must be at least equal at all times to
the amount of that excess.

As one alternative, the Fund may purchase a call option permitting the
Fund to purchase the amount of foreign currency being hedged by a forward sale
contract at a price no higher than the forward contract price. As another
alternative, the Fund may purchase a put option permitting the Fund to sell the
amount of foreign currency subject to a forward purchase contract at a price as
high or higher than the forward contact price.

The precise matching of the amounts under forward contracts and the value
of the securities involved generally will not be possible because the future
value of securities denominated in foreign currencies will change as a
consequence of market movements between the date the forward contract is entered
into and the date it is sold. In some cases the Sub-Advisor might decide to sell
the security and deliver foreign currency to settle the original purchase
obligation. If the market value of the security is less than the amount of
foreign currency the Fund is obligated to deliver, the Fund might have to
purchase additional foreign currency on the "spot" (that is, cash) market to
settle the security trade. If the market value of the security instead exceeds
the amount of foreign currency the Fund is obligated to deliver to settle the
trade, the Fund might have to sell on the spot market some of the foreign
currency received upon the sale of the security. There will be additional
transaction costs on the spot market in those cases.

The projection of short-term currency market movements is extremely
difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is
highly uncertain. Forward contracts involve the risk that anticipated currency
movements will not be accurately predicted, causing the Fund to sustain losses
on these contracts and to pay additional transactions costs. The use of forward
contracts in this manner might reduce the Fund's performance if there are
unanticipated changes in currency prices to a greater degree than if the Fund
had not entered into such contracts.

At or before the maturity of a forward contract requiring the Fund to sell
a currency, the Fund might sell a portfolio security and use the sale proceeds
to make delivery of the currency. In the alternative the Fund might retain the
security and offset its contractual obligation to deliver the currency by
purchasing a second contract. Under that contract the Fund will obtain, on the
same maturity date, the same amount of the currency that it is obligated to
deliver. Similarly, the Fund might close out a forward contract requiring it to
purchase a specified currency by entering into a second contract entitling it to
sell the same amount of the same currency on the maturity date of the first
contract. The Fund would realize a gain or loss as a result of entering into
such an offsetting forward contract under either circumstance. The gain or loss
will depend on the extent to which the exchange rate or rates between the
currencies involved moved between the execution dates of the first contract and
offsetting contract.

The costs to the Fund of engaging in forward contracts varies with factors
such as the currencies involved, the length of the contract period and the
market conditions then prevailing. Because forward contracts are usually entered
into on a principal basis, no brokerage fees or commissions are involved.
Because these contracts are not traded on an exchange, the Fund must evaluate
the credit and performance risk of the counterparty under each forward contract.

Although the Fund values its assets daily in terms of U.S. dollars, it
does not intend to convert its holdings of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars
on a daily basis. The Fund may convert foreign currency from time to time, and
will incur costs in doing so. Foreign exchange dealers do not charge a fee for
conversion, but they do seek to realize a profit based on the difference between
the prices at which they buy and sell various currencies. Thus, a dealer might
offer to sell a foreign currency to the Fund at one rate, while offering a
lesser rate of exchange if the Fund desires to resell that currency to the
dealer.

|_| Regulatory Aspects of Hedging Instruments. When using futures and
options on futures, the Fund is required to operate within certain guidelines
and restrictions with respect to the use of futures as established by the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"). In particular, the Fund is
exempted from registration with the CFTC as a "commodity pool operator" if the
Fund complies with the requirements of Rule 4.5 adopted by the CFTC. The Rule
does not limit the percentage of the Fund's assets that may be used for futures
margin and related options premiums for a bona fide hedging position. However,
under the Rule, the Fund must limit its aggregate initial futures margin and
related options premiums to not more than 5% of the Fund's net assets for
hedging strategies that are not considered bona fide hedging strategies under
the Rule. Under the Rule, the Fund must also use short futures and options on
futures solely for bona fide hedging purposes within the meaning and intent of
the applicable provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Transactions in options by the Fund are subject to limitations established
by the option exchanges. The exchanges limit the maximum number of options that
may be written or held by a single investor or group of investors acting in
concert. Those limits apply regardless of whether the options were written or
purchased on the same or different exchanges or are held in one or more accounts
or through one or more different exchanges or through one or more brokers. Thus,
the number of options that the Fund may write or hold may be affected by options
written or held by other entities, including other investment companies having
the same advisor as the Fund (or an advisor that is an affiliate of the Fund's
advisor or Sub-Advisor). The exchanges also impose position limits on futures
transactions. An exchange may order the liquidation of positions found to be in
violation of those limits and may impose certain other sanctions.

Under Securities and Exchange Commission staff interpretations regarding
applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act, when the Fund purchases a
future, it must segregate cash or readily marketable short-term debt instruments
in an amount equal to the purchase price of the future, less the margin deposit
applicable to it. The account must be a segregated account or accounts held by
the Fund's custodian bank.

|X| Tax Aspects of Certain Hedging Instruments. Certain foreign currency
exchange contracts in which the Fund may invest are treated as "Section 1256
contracts" under the Internal Revenue Code. In general, gains or losses relating
to Section 1256 contracts are characterized as 60% long-term and 40% short-term
capital gains or losses under the Code. However, foreign currency gains or
losses arising from Section 1256 contracts that are forward contracts generally
are treated as ordinary income or loss. In addition, Section 1256 contracts held
by the Fund at the end of each taxable year are "marked-to-market," and
unrealized gains or losses are treated as though they were realized. These
contracts also may be marked-to-market for purposes of determining the excise
tax applicable to investment company distributions and for other purposes under
rules prescribed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. An election can be made
by the Fund to exempt those transactions from this marked-to-market treatment.

Certain forward contracts the Fund enters into may result in "straddles"
for federal income tax purposes. The straddle rules may affect the character and
timing of gains (or losses) recognized by the Fund on straddle positions.
Generally, a loss sustained on the disposition of a position making up a
straddle is allowed only to the extent that the loss exceeds any unrecognized
gain in the offsetting positions making up the straddle. Disallowed loss is
generally allowed at the point where there is no unrecognized gain in the
offsetting positions making up the straddle, or the offsetting position is
disposed of.

Under the Internal Revenue Code, the following gains or losses are treated
as ordinary income or loss: (1) gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in
exchange rates that
occur between the time the Fund accrues interest or other receivables
or accrues expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign
currency and the time the Fund actually collects such receivables or
pays such liabilities, and
(2) gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of a foreign
currency between the date of acquisition of a debt security denominated
in a foreign currency or foreign currency forward contracts and the
date of disposition.

Currency gains and losses are offset against market gains and losses on
each trade before determining a net "Section 988" gain or loss under the
Internal Revenue Code for that trade, which may increase or decrease the amount
of the Fund's investment income available for distribution to its shareholders.

|X| Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. When market conditions
are unstable, or the Sub-Advisor believes it is otherwise appropriate to reduce
holdings in stocks, the Fund can invest in a variety of debt securities for
defensive purposes. The Fund can also purchase these securities for liquidity
purposes to meet cash needs due to the redemption of Fund shares, or to hold
while waiting to reinvest cash received from the sale of other portfolio
securities. The Fund's temporary defensive investments can include the following
short-term (maturing in one year or less) dollar-denominated debt obligations:
o obligations issued or guaranteed by the U. S. government or its
instrumentalities or agencies,
o commercial paper (short-term, unsecured promissory notes) rated in the
highest rating category by an established rating organization,
o debt obligations of domestic or foreign corporate issuers rated "Baa"
or higher by Moody's or "BBB" or higher by Standard & Poor's,
o certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances and other bank
obligations, and
o repurchase agreements.

Short-term debt securities would normally be selected for defensive or
cash management purposes because they can normally be disposed of quickly, are
not generally subject to significant fluctuations in principal value and their
value will be less subject to interest rate risk than longer-term debt
securities.

Investment Restrictions

|X| What Are "Fundamental Policies"? Fundamental policies are those
policies that the Fund has adopted to govern its investments that can be changed
only by the vote of a "majority" of the Fund's outstanding voting securities.
Under the Investment Company Act, a "majority" vote is defined as the vote of
the holders of the lesser of:
|_| 67% or more of the shares present or represented by proxy at a
shareholder meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
shares are present or represented by proxy, or |_| more than 50% of the
outstanding shares.

The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other policies
described in the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information are
"fundamental" only if they are identified as such. The Fund's Board of Directors
can change non-fundamental policies without shareholder approval. However,
significant changes to investment policies will be described in supplements or
updates to the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information, as
appropriate. The Fund's most significant investment policies are described in
the Prospectus.

|X| Does the Fund Have Additional Fundamental Policies? The following
investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund.

|_| The Fund cannot buy securities issued or guaranteed by any one issuer
if more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in securities of that
issuer or if it would own more than 10% of that issuer's voting securities. This
limitation applies to 75% of the Fund's total assets. The limit does not apply
to securities issued by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities.

|_| The Fund cannot lend money or property to any person. However, the
Fund can purchase fixed income securities consistent with the Fund's investment
objective and policies. The Fund may also make loans of portfolio securities, in
an amount that does not exceed one-third of the Fund's total assets.
Additionally, the Fund can enter into repurchase agreements. For the purpose of
this restriction, collateral arrangements with respect to stock options, options
on securities and stock indices, stock index futures and options on such futures
are not deemed to be loans of assets.

|_| The Fund cannot concentrate its investments. That means it cannot
invest 25% or more of its total assets in any industry.

|_| The Fund cannot purchase real estate or interests in real estate.
However, the Fund can purchase or sell securities of companies that deal in real
estate or interests in real estate.

|_| The Fund cannot invest for the purpose of exercising control over
management of any company.

|_| The Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies. A permitted
exception is in case it is deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act
of 1933 when reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.

|_| The Fund cannot invest or hold securities of any issuer if officers
and directors of the Fund or its Manager or Sub-Advisor individually
beneficially own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities of that issuer and
together own more than 5% of the securities of that issuer.

|_| The Fund cannot invest in physical commodities or physical commodity
contracts. However, the Fund may buy and sell hedging instruments to the extent
specified in its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information from time to
time. The Fund can also buy and sell options futures and securities or other
instruments backed by physical commodities or whose investment return is linked
to changes in the price of physical commodities.

|_| The Fund cannot pledge, mortgage or hypothecate any of its assets.
However, the Fund can pledge assets to secure permitted borrowings and in
connection with collateral arrangements with respect to options and futures.

|_| The Fund cannot issue senior securities, as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940. However, the Fund can enter into repurchase agreements,
lend its portfolio securities and borrow money from banks for temporary or
emergency purposes.

For purposes of the Fund's policy not to concentrate its investments as
described above, the Fund has adopted the industry classifications set forth in
Appendix B to this Statement of Additional Information. This is not a
fundamental policy.

|X| Does the Fund Have Any Restrictions That Are Not Fundamental? The Fund
has other investment restrictions that are not fundamental policies, which means
that they can be changed by the Board of Directors without shareholder approval.

|_| The Fund cannot purchase oil, gas or other mineral leases, rights,
royalty contracts or exploration or development programs. However, the Fund can
invest in securities of companies that invest in or sponsor such programs.

|_| The Fund cannot purchase securities on margin (except for short-term
loans that are necessary for the clearance of transactions) or make short sales
of securities.

Unless the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information states
that a percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at
the time the Fund makes an investment (except in the case of borrowing and
investments in illiquid securities). The Fund need not sell securities to meet
the percentage limits if the value of the investment increases in proportion to
the size of the Fund.

How the Fund is Managed

Organization and History. The Fund is an open-end, diversified management
investment company organized as a Maryland corporation in 1986. The Fund
commenced its operations on February 13, 1987 as a closed-end investment company
with a "dual-purpose" structure. The Fund originally had two objectives: (1)
long-term capital appreciation and preservation of capital, and (2) current
income and long-term growth of income. The Fund originally had common stock,
denominated as "capital shares," and preferred stock, denominated as "income
shares."

Under the Fund's original dual-purpose structure, the capital shares were
entitled to all of the Fund's gains and losses on its assets, and no Fund
expenses were allocated to those shares. The income shares were entitled to all
of the Fund's income and bore all of the Fund's operating expenses. The income
shares were redeemed on January 31, 1997, and the Fund's dual-purpose structure
was terminated.

On March 3, 1997, the Fund was converted to an open-end management
investment company with a single investment objective of capital appreciation.
The outstanding capital shares of the Fund were re-denominated as Class A shares
of common stock, which bear their allocable share of Fund expenses.

|X| Classes of Shares. The Directors are authorized, without shareholder
approval, to create new series and classes of shares. The Directors may
reclassify unissued shares of the Fund into additional series or classes of
shares. The Directors also may divide or combine the shares of a class into a
greater or lesser number of shares without changing the proportionate beneficial
interest of a shareholder in the Fund. Shares do not have cumulative voting
rights or preemptive or subscription rights. Shares may be voted in person or by
proxy at shareholder meetings.

The Fund currently has four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C
and Class N. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio. Only
retirement plans may purchase Class N shares. Each class of shares: o has its
own dividends and distributions, o pays certain expenses which may be different
for the different classes, o may have a different net asset value, o may have
separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one
class are different from interests of another class, and o votes as a
class on matters that affect that class alone.

Shares are freely transferable, and each share of each class has one vote
at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionally on matters
submitted to the vote of shareholders. Each share of the Fund represents an
interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of each other share
of the same class.

|X| Meetings of Shareholders. Although the Fund is not required by
Maryland law to hold annual meetings, it may hold shareholder meetings from time
to time on important matters. The shareholders of the Fund have the right to
call a meeting to remove a Director or to take certain other action described in
the Articles of Incorporation or under Maryland law.

The Fund will hold meetings when required to do so by the Investment
Company Act or other applicable law. The Fund will hold a meeting when the
Directors call a meeting or upon proper request of shareholders. If the Fund
receives a written request of the record holders of at least 25% of the
outstanding shares eligible to be voted at a meeting to call a meeting for a
specified purpose (which might include the removal of a Director), the Directors
will call a meeting of shareholders for that specified purpose. The Fund has
undertaken that it will then either give the applicants access to the Fund's
shareholder list or mail the applicants' communication to all other shareholders
at the applicants' expense.

Board of Directors and Oversight Committees. The Fund is governed by a Board of
Directors, which is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders
under Maryland law. The Directors meet periodically throughout the year to
oversee the Fund's activities, review its performance, and review the actions of
the Manager and Sub-Advisor. Although the Fund will not normally hold annual
meetings of its shareholders, it may hold shareholder meetings from time to time
on important matters, and shareholders have the right to call a meeting to
remove a Director or to take other action described in the Fund's Articles of
Incorporation.

The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee. The Audit Committee
provides the Board with recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund's
independent auditor. The Audit Committee also reviews the scope and results of
audits and the audit fees charged, reviews reports from the Fund's independent
auditors concerning the Fund's internal accounting procedures and controls, and
reviews reports of the Manager's internal auditor among other duties as set
forth in the Committee's Charter. The Audit Committee is comprised soley of
Independent Directors. The members of the Audit Committee are Paul Clinton
(Chairman), Thomas Courtney, Robert Galli, Lacy Herrmann and Brian Wruble. The
Audit Committee met four times during the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31,
2002.

Directors and Officers of the Fund. Each of the Directors is an "Independent
Director," as defined in the Investment Company Act. The Fund's Directors and
officers and their positions held with the Fund and length of service in such
position(s) and their principal occupations and business affiliations during the
past five years are listed in the chart below. The information for the Directors
also includes the dollar range of shares of the Fund as well as the aggregate
dollar range of shares beneficially owned in any of the Oppenheimer funds
overseen by the Directors. All of the Directors are also directors or trustees
of the following Oppenheimer funds (referred to as "Board III Funds"):

Oppenheimer Quest For Value Funds, a Oppenheimer Quest Global Value Fund,
series Inc.
fund having the following three series: Oppenheimer Quest Capital Value
Fund, Inc.
Oppenheimer Small Cap Value Fund, Oppenheimer Quest Value Fund, Inc.
Oppenheimer Quest Balanced Value Fund
and
Oppenheimer Quest Opportunity Value Fund Bond Fund Series, a series fund
having one series: Oppenheimer
Convertible Securities Fund
Rochester Portfolio Series, a series fund
having one
series: Limited-Term New York Oppenheimer MidCap Fund
Municipal Fund
Rochester Fund Municipals

In addition to being a trustee or director of the Board III Funds, Mr.
Galli is also a director or trustee of 31 other portfolios in the
OppenheimerFunds complex. Present or former officers, directors, trustees and
employees (and their immediate family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its
affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their employees are
permitted to purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other Oppenheimer funds
at net asset value without sales charge. The sales charges on Class A shares is
waived for that group because of the economies of sales efforts realized by the
Distributor.

Messrs. Murphy, Masterson, Molleur, Vottiero, Wixted and Zack, and Mses.
Bechtolt, Feld and Ives, who are officers of the Fund, respectively hold the
same offices of one or more of the other Board III Funds as with the Fund. As of
December 2, 2002, the Directors and officers of the Fund, as a group, owned of
record or beneficially less than 1% of each class of shares of the Fund. The
foregoing statement does not reflect ownership of shares of the Fund held of
record by an employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other than the
shares beneficially owned under the plan by the officers of the Fund listed
above. In addition, each Independent Director, and his or her family members, do
not own securities of the Manager, Distributor or Sub-Advisor of the Board III
Funds or any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under
common control with the Manager, Distributor or Sub-Advisor.

The address of each Director in the chart below is 6803 S. Tucson Way,
Centennial, CO 80112-3924. Each Director serves for an indefinite term, until
his or her resignation, retirement, death or removal.

|X| Code of Ethics. The Fund, the Manager and the Distributor have a Code
of Ethics. It is designed to detect and prevent improper personal trading by
certain employees, including portfolio managers, that would compete with or take
advantage of the Fund's portfolio transactions. Covered persons include persons
with knowledge of the investments and investment intentions of the Fund and
other funds advised by the Manager. The Code of Ethics does permit personnel
subject to the Code to invest in securities, including securities that may be
purchased or held by the Fund, subject to a number of restrictions and controls.
Compliance with the Code of Ethics is carefully monitored and enforced by the
Manager.

The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the Fund's registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and can be reviewed and copied
at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You can obtain
information about the hours of operation of the Public Reference Room by calling
the SEC at 1.202.942.8090. The Code of Ethics can also be viewed as part of the
Fund's registration statement on the SEC's EDGAR database at the SEC's Internet
website at www.sec.gov. Copies may be obtained, after paying a duplication fee,
by electronic request at the following E-mail address: PUBLICINFO@SEC.GOV., or

|X| The Investment Advisory Agreement. The Manager provides investment
advisory and management services to the Fund under an investment advisory
agreement between the Manager and the Fund. The Manager handles the Fund's
day-to-day business and the agreement permits the Manager to enter into
sub-advisory agreements with other registered investment advisors to obtain
specialized services for the Fund, as long as the Fund is not obligated to pay
any additional fees for those services. The Manager has retained the Sub-Advisor
pursuant to a separate Sub-Advisory Agreement, described below, under which the
Sub-Advisor buys and sells portfolio securities for the Fund. The portfolio
manager of the Fund is employed by the Sub-Advisor and is the person who is
principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio,
as described below.

The investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the Manager requires
the Manager, at its expense, to provide the Fund with adequate office space,
facilities and equipment. It also requires the Manager to provide and supervise
the activities of all administrative and clerical personnel required to provide
effective administration for the Fund. Those responsibilities include the
compilation and maintenance of records with respect to its operations, the
preparation and filing of specified reports, and composition of proxy materials
and registration statements for continuous public sale of shares of the Fund.
The Manager also calculates the Fund's net asset value without additional
compensation.

The Fund pays expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the
advisory agreement. The advisory agreement lists examples of expenses paid by
the Fund. The major categories relate to calculation of the Fund's net asset
values per share, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, fees to Independent
Directors, legal and audit expenses, custodian and transfer agent expenses,
share issuance costs, certain printing and registration costs and non-recurring
expenses, including litigation costs. The management fees paid by the Fund to
the Manager are calculated at the rates described in the Prospectus, which are
applied to the assets of the Fund as a whole. The fees are allocated to each
class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the Fund's net assets
represented by that class. The management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager
during its last three fiscal years are listed below.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiscal Year ended 10/31: Management Fees Paid to OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000 $2,021,375
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2001 $1,961,752
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2002 $2,241,4311
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Manager, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Advisor an annual sub-advisory fee.
For fiscal 2002, this sub-advisory fee was $892,561.

The investment advisory agreement states that in the absence of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties or
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the investment advisory
agreement, the Manager is not liable for any loss resulting from a good faith
error or omission on its part with respect to any of its duties under the
agreement.

The agreement permits the Manager to act as investment advisor for any other
person, firm or corporation and to use the names "Oppenheimer" and "Quest for
Value" in connection with other investment companies for which it may act as
investment advisor or general distributor. If the Manager shall no longer act as
investment advisor to the Fund, the Manager may withdraw the right of the Fund
to use the names "Oppenheimer" or "Quest for Value" as part of its name.

|X| Annual Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory
Agreement. Each year, the Board of Directors, including a majority of the
Independent Directors, is required to approve the renewal of the investment
advisory agreement and the Sub-iAdvisory Agreement. The Investment Company Act
requires that the Board request and evaluate and the Manager provide such
information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the
investment advisory agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board employs an
independent consultant to prepare a report that provides such information as the
Board requests for this purpose. The Board also noted information received at
regular meetings throughout the year related to Fund performance and services
rendered by the Sub-Advisor.

The Board reviewed the foregoing information in arriving at its decision
to renew the investment advisory agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Among other factors, the Board considered: o The nature, cost, and quality of
the services provided to the Fund and
its shareholders;
o The profitability of the Fund to the Manager and the Sub-Advisor;
o The investment performance of the Fund in comparison to regular market
indices and in comparison to other funds with similar investment
objectives and policies;
o Economies of scale that may be available to the Fund from the Manager; o The
fee paid by the Manager to the Sub-Advisor; o Fees paid by other mutual funds
for similar services; o The value and quality of any other benefits or services
received by the
Fund from its relationship with the Manager and Sub-Advisor, and o
The direct and indirect benefits the Manager and Sub-Advisor receives
from their relationships with the Fund. These included services
provided by the Distributor and the Transfer Agent, and brokerage
and soft dollar arrangements permissible under Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act.

The Board considered that the Manager and the Sub-Advisor must be able to
pay and retain high quality personnel at competitive rates to provide services
to the Fund. The Board also considered that maintaining the financial viability
of the Manager and the Sub-Advisor is important so that they will be able to
continue to provide quality services to the Fund and its shareholders in adverse
times. The Board also considered the investment performance of other mutual
funds advised by the Manager and Sub-Advisor. The Board is aware that there are
alternatives to the use of the Manager and Sub-Advisor.

These matters were also considered by the Independent Directors meeting
separately from the full Board with experienced counsel to the Fund who assisted
the Board in its deliberations. The Fund's counsel is independent of the Manager
and Sub-Advisor within the meaning and intent of the SEC Rules regarding the
independence of counsel.

After careful deliberation the Board of Directors concluded that it was in
the best interest of shareholders to continue the investment advisory agreements
for another year. In arriving at a decision, the Board did not single out any
one factor or group of factors as being more important than other factors, but
considered all factors together. The Board judged the terms and conditions of
the investment advisory agreement, including the investment advisory fee and
sub-advisory fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

The Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oppenheimer
Capital LLC, a registered investment advisor. From the Fund's inception on April
30, 1980, until February 26, 1997, the Sub-Advisor (which was then named Quest
for Value Advisors) or the Sub-Advisor's parent served as the Fund's investment
advisor. The Sub-Advisor acts as investment advisor to other investment
companies and for other investors.

The Sub-Advisor is a Delaware limited liability company which is
wholly-owned by Oppenheimer Capital LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz
Dresdner Asset Management U.S. Equities LLC, which in turn is wholly-owned by
Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors
L.P.). Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. ("ADAM") is a Delaware
limited partnership whose sole general partner is Allianz-PacLife Partners LLC.
Allianz PacLife Partners LLC is a Delaware limited liability company with two
members, Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, and Pacific Asset Management LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company. Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America LLC is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz of America, Inc., which is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Pacific Life Insurance Company, which in turn is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Holding Company. Allianz A.G. indirectly holds a
controlling interest in ADAM. Allianz AG is a European-based, multinational
insurance and financial services holding company. Pacific Life Insurance Company
owns an indirect minority equity interest in ADAM and is a California-based
insurance company.

Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. is a direct or indirect
parent company of the following SEC-registered investment advisors, all of which
are affiliated: Cadence Capital Management; NFJ Investment Group; Pacific
Investment Management Company LLC; the Sub-Advisor, Oppenheimer Capital LLC,
PIMCO Allianz Advisors LLC and PIMCO Funds Advisors LLC.

|X| The Sub-Advisory Agreement. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement between
the Manager and the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall regularly provide
investment advice with respect to the Fund and invest and reinvest cash,
securities and the property comprising the assets of the Fund. Under the
Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Advisor agrees not to change the portfolio
manager of the Fund without the written approval of the Manager. The Sub-Advisor
also agrees to provide assistance in the distribution and marketing of the Fund.

Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Advisor an
annual fee in monthly installments, based on the average daily net assets of the
Fund. The fee paid to the Sub-Advisor under the Sub-Advisory agreement is paid
by the Manager, not by the Fund. The fee is equal to 40% of the investment
advisory fee collected by the Manager from the Fund based on the total net
assets of the Fund as of February 28, 1997 (the "Base Amount") that remained in
the Fund 120 days later, plus 30% of the investment advisory fee collected by
the Manager based on the total net assets of the Fund that exceed the Base
Amount. In each case the fee is calculated after any waivers by the Manager of
its fee.

The Sub-Advisory Agreement states that in the absence of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties or
obligations, the Sub-Advisor shall not be liable to the Manager for any act or
omission in the course of or connected with rendering services under the
Sub-Advisory Agreement or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.

Brokerage Policies of the Fund

Brokerage Provisions of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory
Agreement. One of the duties of the Sub-Advisor under the Sub-Advisory Agreement
is to arrange the portfolio transactions for the Fund. The Fund's investment
advisory agreement with the Manager and the Sub-Advisory Agreement contain
provisions relating to the employment of broker-dealers to effect the Fund's
portfolio transactions. The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are authorized to employ
broker-dealers, including "affiliated" brokers, as that term is defined in the
Investment Company Act. They may employ broker-dealers that they think, in their
best judgment based on all relevant factors, will implement the policy of the
Fund to obtain, at reasonable expense, the "best execution" of the Fund's
portfolio transactions. "Best execution" means prompt and reliable execution at
the most favorable price obtainable.

The Manager and the Sub-Advisor need not seek competitive commission
bidding. However, they are expected to be aware of the current rates of eligible
brokers and to minimize the commissions paid to the extent consistent with the
interests and policies of the Fund as established by its Board of Directors.

The Manager and the Sub-Advisor may select brokers (other than affiliates)
that provide brokerage and/or research services for the Fund and/or the other
accounts over which the Manager, the Sub-Advisor or their respective affiliates
have investment discretion. The commissions paid to such brokers may be higher
than another qualified broker would charge, if the Manager or Sub-Advisor, as
applicable, makes a good faith determination that the commissions is fair and
reasonable in relation to the services provided. Subject to those
considerations, as a factor in selecting brokers for the Fund's portfolio
transactions, the Manager and the Sub-Advisor may also consider sales of shares
of the Fund and other investment companies for which the Manager or an affiliate
serves as investment advisor.

The Sub-Advisory Agreement permits the Sub-Advisor to enter into
"soft-dollar" arrangements through the agency of third parties to obtain
services for the Fund. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Sub-Advisor will
undertake to place brokerage business with broker-dealers that pay third parties
that provide services. Any such "soft-dollar" arrangements will be made in
accordance with policies adopted by the Fund's Board of Directors and in
compliance with applicable law.

Brokerage Practices. Brokerage for the Fund is allocated subject to the
provisions of the investment advisory agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement
and the procedures and rules described above. Generally, the Sub-Advisor's
portfolio traders allocate brokerage based upon recommendations from the Fund's
portfolio manager. In certain instances, portfolio managers may directly place
trades and allocate brokerage. In either case, the Sub-Advisor's executive
officers supervise the allocation of brokerage.

Transactions in securities other than those for which an exchange is the
primary market are generally done with principals or market makers. In
transactions on foreign exchanges, the Fund may be required to pay fixed
brokerage commissions and therefore would not have the benefit of negotiated
commissions available in U.S. markets. Brokerage commissions are paid primarily
for transactions in listed securities or for certain fixed-income agency
transactions in the secondary market. Otherwise brokerage commissions are paid
only if it appears likely that a better price or execution can be obtained by
doing so.

The Sub-Advisor serves as investment manager to a number of clients,
including other investment companies, and may in the future act as investment
manager or advisor to others. It is the practice of the Sub-Advisor to allocate
purchase or sale transactions among the Fund and other clients whose assets it
manages in a manner it deems equitable. In making those allocations, the
Sub-Advisor considers several main factors, including the respective investment
objectives, the relative size of portfolio holdings of the same or comparable
securities, the availability of cash for investment, the size of investment
commitments generally held and the opinions of the persons responsible for
managing the portfolios of the Fund and each other client's accounts.

When orders to purchase or sell the same security on identical terms are
placed by more than one of the funds and/or other advisory accounts managed by
the Sub-Advisor or its affiliates, the transactions are generally executed as
received, although a fund or advisory account that does not direct trades to a
specific broker (these are called "free trades") usually will have its order
executed first. Orders placed by accounts that direct trades to a specific
broker will generally be executed after the free trades. All orders placed on
behalf of the Fund are considered free trades. However, having an order placed
first in the market does not necessarily guarantee the most favorable price.
Purchases are combined where possible for the purpose of negotiating brokerage
commissions. In some cases that practice might have a detrimental effect on the
price or volume of the security in a particular transaction for the Fund.

Most purchases of debt obligations are principal transactions at net prices.
Instead of using a broker for those transactions, the Fund normally deals
directly with the selling or purchasing principal or market maker unless the
Sub-Advisor determines that a better price or execution can be obtained by using
the services of a broker. Purchases of portfolio securities from underwriters
include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter.
Purchases from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked prices. The
Fund seeks to obtain prompt execution of these orders at the most favorable net
price.

The investment advisory agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement permit the
Manager and the Sub-Advisor to allocate brokerage for research services. The
research services provided by a particular broker may be useful only to one or
more of the advisory accounts of the Sub-Advisor and its affiliates. The
investment research received for the commissions of those other accounts may be
useful both to the Fund and one or more of the Sub-Advisor's other accounts.
Investment research may be supplied to the Sub-Advisor by a third party at the
instance of a broker through which trades are placed.

Investment research services include information and analysis on particular
companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and portfolio
strategy, market quotations for portfolio evaluations, information systems,
computer hardware and similar products and services. If a research service also
assists the Sub-Advisor in a non-research capacity (such as bookkeeping or other
administrative functions), then only the percentage or component that provides
assistance to the Sub-Advisor in the investment decision-making process may be
paid in commission dollars.

The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and supplement
the research activities of the Sub-Advisor. That research provides additional
views and comparisons for consideration, and helps the Sub-Advisor to obtain
market information for the valuation of securities that are either held in the
Fund's portfolio or are being considered for purchase. The Sub-Advisor provides
information to the Manager and the Board about the commissions paid to brokers
furnishing such services, together with the Sub-Advisor's representation that
the amount of such commissions was reasonably related to the value or benefit of
such services.

Distribution and Service Plans

The Distributor. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Fund, the
Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public
offering of shares of the Fund's classes of shares. The Distributor bears the
expenses normally attributable to sales, including advertising and the cost of
printing and mailing prospectuses, other than those furnished to existing
shareholders. The Distributor is not obligated to sell a specific number of
shares.

The sales charges and concessions paid to, or retained by, the Distributor
from the sale of shares during the Fund's three most recent fiscal years, and
the contingent deferred sales charges retained by the Distributor on the
redemption of shares for the three most recent fiscal years are shown in the

Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service
Plans for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the
Investment Company Act. Under those plans the Fund compensates the Distributor
for all or a portion of its costs incurred in connection with the distribution
and/or servicing of the shares of the particular class.

Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of Directors, including
a majority of the Directors who are not "interested persons" of the Fund and who
do not have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the
distribution plan or any agreement under the plan, cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on that plan.

Under the plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to
affiliates and, in their sole discretion, from time to time, may use their own
resources (at no direct cost to the Fund) to make payments to brokers, dealers
or other financial institutions for distribution and administrative services
they perform. The Manager may use its profits from the advisory fee it receives
from the Fund. In their sole discretion, the Distributor and the Manager may
increase or decrease the amount of payments they make from their own resources
to plan recipients.

Unless a plan is terminated as described below, the plan continues in
effect from year to year but only if the Fund's Board of Directors and its
Independent Directors specifically vote annually to approve its continuance.
Approval must be by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on continuing the plan. A plan may be terminated at any time by the vote
of a majority of the Independent Directors or by the vote of the holders of a
"majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the outstanding shares
of that class.

The Board of Directors and the Independent Directors must approve all
material amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase materially the amount of
payments to be made under a plan must be approved by shareholders of the class
affected by the amendment. Because Class B shares of the Fund automatically
convert into Class A shares after six years, the Fund must obtain the approval
of both Class A and Class B shareholders for a proposed material amendment to
the Class A plan that would materially increase payments under the plan. That
approval must be by a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of
the shares of each class, voting separately by class.

While the plans are in effect, the Treasurer of the Fund shall provide
separate written reports on the plans to the Board of Directors at least
quarterly for its review. The reports shall detail the amount of all payments
made under a plan, and the purpose for which the payments were made. Those
reports are subject to the review and approval of the Independent Directors.

Each plan states that while it is in effect, the selection and nomination
of those Directors of the Fund who are not "interested persons" of the Fund is
committed to the discretion of the Independent Directors. This does not prevent
the involvement of others in the selection and nomination process as long as the
final decision as to selection or nomination is approved by a majority of the
Independent Directors.

Under the plan for a class, no payment will be made to any recipient in
any quarter in which the aggregate net asset value of all Fund shares of that
class held by the recipient for itself and its customers does not exceed a
minimum amount, if any, that may be set from time to time by a majority of the
Independent Directors. The Board of Directors has set no minimum amount of
assets to qualify for payments under the plans.

|X| Service and Distribution Plan Fees. Under each plan, service fees and
distribution fees are computed on the average of the net asset value of shares
in the respective class, determined as of the close of each regular business day
during the period. The plans compensate the Distributor at a flat rate for its
services and costs in distributing shares and servicing accounts, whether the
Distributor's expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund under
the plans during the period for which the fee is paid.

Under the service plans, the Distributor currently uses the fees it
receives from the Fund to pay brokers, dealers and other financial institutions
(they are referred to as "recipients") for personal services and account
maintenance services they provide for their customers who hold shares of a
particular Class, A, B, C or N. The services include, among others, answering
customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in establishing and maintaining
accounts in the Fund, making the Fund's investment plans available and providing
other services at the request of the Fund or the Distributor. The service plans
permit compensation to the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of average
annual net assets of the applicable class. The Board has set the rate at that
level. While the Class A Plan permits the Board to authorize payments to the
Distributor to reimburse itself for services under the plan, the Board has not
yet done so. With respect to purchases of Class A shares subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge by certain retirement plans that purchased such shares
prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts"), the Distributor
currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the first
year after the shares are purchased. After the first year shares are
outstanding, the Distributor makes service fee payments to recipients quarterly
on those shares. The advance payment is based on the net asset value of shares
sold. Shares purchased by exchange do not qualify for the advance service fee
payment. If Class A shares purchased by grandfathered retirement account are
redeemed during the first year after their purchase, the recipient of the
service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay the Distributor a pro
rata portion of the advance payment of the service fee made on those shares.

The plans permit the Distributor to retain both the asset-based sales
charges and the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a quarterly
basis, without payment in advance. However, the Distributor currently intends to
pay the Class A service fee with respect to grandfathered retirement account and
the Class B, C and N service fee to recipients in advance for the first year
after the shares are purchased. After the first year shares are purchased, the
Distributor makes service fee payments quarterly on those shares. The advance
payment is based on the net asset value of shares sold. Shares purchased by
exchange do not qualify for the advance service fee payment. If shares are
redeemed during the first year after their purchase, the recipient of the
service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay the Distributor a pro
rata portion of the advance payment of the service fee made on those shares.

Under the Class A plan, the Distributor will pay through December 31,
2002, the asset-based sales charge to brokers, dealers and financial
institutions. The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class B
and Class N shares. The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on
Class C shares during the first year the shares are outstanding. It pays the
asset-based sales charge it receives on Class C shares as an ongoing concession
to the recipient on Class C shares outstanding for a year or more. If a dealer
has a special agreement with the Distributor, the Distributor will pay the Class
A, Class B, Class C and/or Class N service fee and the asset-based sales charge
to the dealer quarterly in lieu of paying the sales concessions and service fee
in advance at the time of purchase. Effective for Class A shares purchased on or
after January 1, 2003, the Fund will not pay an asset-based sales charge to
brokers, dealers and financial institutions.

The asset-based sales charges on Class B, Class C and Class N shares allow
investors to buy shares without a front-end sales charge while allowing the
Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares. The Fund pays the
asset-based sales charges to the Distributor for its services rendered in
distributing Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares. The payments are made
to the Distributor in recognition that the Distributor: o pays sales concessions
to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of
sale and pays service fees as described above,
o may finance payment of sales concessions and/or the advance of the
service fee payment to recipients under the plans, or may provide such
financing from its own resources or from the resources of an affiliate,
o employs personnel to support distribution of shares,
o bears the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses
(other than those furnished to current shareholders) and state "blue sky"
registration fees and certain other distribution expenses,
o may not be able to adequately compensate dealers that sell Class A, Class
B, Class C and Class N shares without receiving payment under the plans
and therefore may not be able to offer such Classes for sale absent the
plans,
o receives payments under the plans consistent with the service fees and
asset-based sales charges paid by other non-proprietary funds that change
12b-1 fees,
o may use the payment under the plan to include the Fund in various
third-party distribution programs that may increase sales of Fund shares,
o may experience increased difficulty selling the Fund's shares if payments
under the plan are discontinued because most competitor funds have plans
that pay dealers for rendering distribution services as much or more than
the amounts currently being paid by the Fund, and
o may not be able to continue providing, at the same or at lesser cost, the
same quality distribution sales efforts and services, or to obtain such
services from brokers and dealers, if the plan payments were to be
discontinued.

When Class B, Class C or Class N shares are sold without the designation
of a broker-dealer, the Distributor is automatically designated as the
broker-dealer of record. In those cases, the Distributor retains the service fee
and asset-based sales charge paid on Class B, Class C and Class N shares.

The Distributor's actual expenses in selling Class B, Class C and Class N
shares may be more than the payments it received from the contingent deferred
sales charges collected on redeemed shares and from the Fund under the plans. If
the Class B, Class C and Class N plan is terminated by the Fund, the Board of
Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payments of the asset-based sales charge
to the Distributor for distributing shares before the plan was terminated.

Conduct Rules of the NASD Inc. on payments of asset-based sales charges and
service fees.

Performance of the Fund

Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Fund uses a variety of terms to
illustrate its investment performance. Those terms include "cumulative total
return," "average annual total return," "average annual total return at net
asset value" and "total return at net asset value." An explanation of how total
returns are calculated is set forth below. The charts below show the Fund's
performance as of the Fund's most recent fiscal year end. You can obtain current
performance information by calling the Fund's Transfer Agent at 1.800.225.5677
or by visiting the OppenheimerFunds Internet website at
http://www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

The Fund's illustrations of its performance data in advertisements must
comply with rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those rules
describe the types of performance data that may be used and how it is to be
calculated. In general, any advertisement by the Fund of its performance data
must include the average annual total returns for the advertised class of shares
of the Fund. Those returns must be shown for the 1-, 5- and 10-year periods (or
the life of the class, if less) ending as of the most recently ended calendar
quarter prior to the publication of the advertisement (or its submission for
publication).

Use of standardized performance calculations enables an investor to
compare the Fund's performance to the performance of other funds for the same
periods. However, a number of factors should be considered before using the
Fund's performance information as a basis for comparison with other investments:

|_| Total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account in the
Fund over various periods and do not show the performance of each shareholder's
account. Your account's performance will vary from the model performance data if
your dividends are received in cash, or you buy or sell shares during the
period, or you bought your shares at a different time and price than the shares
used in the model.
|_| The Fund's performance returns may not reflect the effect of taxes on
dividends and capital gains distributions.
|_| An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other
Government agency.
|_| The principal value of the Fund's shares and total returns are not
guaranteed and normally will fluctuate on a daily basis.
|_| When an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less
than their original cost.
|_| Total returns for any given past period represent historical
performance information and are not, and should not be considered, a prediction
of future returns.

The performance of each class of shares is shown separately, because the
performance of each class of shares will usually be different. That is because
of the different kinds of expenses each class bears. The total returns of each
class of shares of the Fund are affected by market conditions, the quality of
the Fund's investments, the maturity of debt investments, the types of
investments the Fund holds, and its operating expenses that are allocated to the
particular class.

|X| Total Return Information. There are different types of "total returns"
to measure the Fund's performance. Total return is the change in value of a
hypothetical investment in the Fund over a given period, assuming that all
dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested in additional shares
and that the investment is redeemed at the end of the period. Because of
differences in expenses for each class of shares, the total returns for each
class are separately measured. The cumulative total return measures the change
in value over the entire period (for example, ten years). An average annual
total return shows the average rate of return for each year in a period that
would produce the cumulative total return over the entire period. However,
average annual total returns do not show actual year-by-year performance. The
Fund uses standardized calculations for its total returns as prescribed by the
SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current maximum
sales charge of 5.75% (as a percentage of the offering price) is deducted from
the initial investment ("P") (unless the return is shown without sales charge,
as described below). For Class B shares, payment of the applicable contingent
deferred sales charge is applied, depending on the period for which the return
is shown: 5.0% in the first year, 4.0% in the second year, 3.0% in the third and
fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0% in the sixth year and none
thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1% contingent deferred sales charge is
deducted for returns for the 1-year period. For Class N shares, the 1%
contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one year
period. Class N total returns may also be calculated for the periods prior to
3/1/01 (the inception date for Class N shares), based on the Fund's Class A
returns, adjusted to reflect the higher Class N 12b-1 fees.

The historical performance of Class A shares is restated to reflect the
fees and expenses of Class A that were in effect as of March 3, 1997, without
giving effect to any fee waivers, to reflect the re-denomination of the Fund's
prior capital shares (which bore no expenses) as Class A shares after the Fund
converted to an open-end investment company.

|_| Average Annual Total Return. The "average annual total return" of each
class is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a
specified number of years. It is the rate of return based on the change in value
of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held
for a number of years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an Ending Redeemable Value
("ERV" in the formula) of that investment, according to the following formula:

[OBJECT OMITTED]

|_| Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions). The "average
annual total return (after taxes on distributions)" of Class A shares is an
average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a specified number of
years, adjusted to show the effect of federal taxes (calculated using the
highest individual marginal federal income tax rates in effect on any
reinvestment date) on any distributions made by the Fund during the specified
period. It is the rate of return based on the change in value of a hypothetical
initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held for a number of
years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an ending value ("ATVD" in the formula) of
that investment, after taking into account the effect of taxes on Fund
distributions, but not on the redemption of Fund shares, according to the
following formula:

ATVD - 1= Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on
1/n Distributions)
P

|_| Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions and Redemptions).
The "average annual total return (after taxes on distributions and redemptions)"
of Class A shares is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year
in a specified number of years, adjusted to show the effect of federal taxes
(calculated using the highest individual marginal federal income tax rates in
effect on any reinvestment date) on any distributions made by the Fund during
the specified period and the effect of capital gains taxes or capital loss tax
benefits (each calculated using the highest federal individual capital gains tax
rate in effect on the redemption date) resulting from the redemption of the
shares at the end of the period. It is the rate of return based on the change in
value of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below)
held for a number of years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an ending value
("ATVDR" in the formula) of that investment, after taking into account the
effect of taxes on fund distributions and on the redemption of Fund shares,
according to the following formula:

ATVDR - 1= Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on
1/n Distributions and Redemptions)
P

|_| Cumulative Total Return. The "cumulative total return" calculation
measures the change in value of a hypothetical investment of $1,000 over an
entire period of years. Its calculation uses some of the same factors as average
annual total return, but it does not average the rate of return on an annual
basis. Cumulative total return is determined as follows:

[OBJECT OMITTED]

|_| Total Returns at Net Asset Value. From time to time the Fund may also
quote a cumulative or an average annual total return "at net asset value"
(without deducting sales charges) for Class A, Class B, Class C or Class N
shares. Each is based on the difference in net asset value per share at the
beginning and the end of the period for a hypothetical investment in that class
of shares (without considering front-end or contingent deferred sales charges)
and takes into consideration the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions.

Other Performance Comparisons. The Fund compares its performance annually to
that of an appropriate broadly-based market index in its Annual Report to
shareholders. You can obtain that information by contacting the Transfer Agent
at the addresses or telephone numbers shown on the cover of this Statement of
Additional Information. The Fund may also compare its performance to that of
other investments, including other mutual funds, or use rankings of its
performance by independent ranking entities. Examples of these performance
comparisons are set forth below.

|X| Lipper Rankings. From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking of
the performance of its classes of shares by Lipper, Inc. Lipper is a
widely-recognized independent mutual fund monitoring service. Lipper monitors
the performance of regulated investment companies, including the Fund, and ranks
their performance for various periods based on stated fund classifications.
Lipper currently ranks the Fund's performance against all other multi-cap value
funds. The Lipper performance rankings are based on total returns that include
the reinvestment of capital gain distributions and income dividends but do not
take sales charges or taxes into consideration. Lipper also publishes "peer
group" indices of the performance of all mutual funds in a category that it
monitors and averages the performance of the funds in particular categories.

|X| Morningstar Ratings. From time to time the Fund may publish the star
rating of the performance of its classes of shares by Morningstar, Inc., an
independent mutual fund monitoring service. Morningstar rates mutual funds in
their specialized market sector. The Fund is rated among mid-cap blend funds.

Morningstar proprietary star ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted
total investment return. For each fund with at least a three-year history,
Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating(TM) based on a Morningstar
Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly
performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption
fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent
performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next
22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2
stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a
fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause
slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar
Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures
associated with its three-, five-and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating
metrics.

|X| Performance Rankings and Comparisons by Other Entities and
Publications. From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements and
sales literature performance information about the Fund cited in newspapers and
other periodicals such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's,
or similar publications. That information may include performance quotations
from other sources, including Lipper and Morningstar. The performance of the
Fund's classes of shares may be compared in publications to the performance of
various market indices or other investments, and averages, performance rankings
or other benchmarks prepared by recognized mutual fund statistical services.

Investors may also wish to compare the returns on the Fund's share classes
to the return on fixed-income investments available from banks and thrift
institutions. Those include certificates of deposit, ordinary interest-paying
checking and savings accounts, and other forms of fixed or variable time
deposits, and various other instruments such as Treasury bills. However, the
Fund's returns and share price are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any
other agency and will fluctuate daily, while bank depository obligations may be
insured by the FDIC and may provide fixed rates of return. Repayment of
principal and payment of interest on Treasury securities is backed by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

From time to time, the Fund may publish rankings or ratings of the Manager
or Transfer Agent, and of the investor services provided by them to shareholders
of the Oppenheimer funds, other than performance rankings of the Oppenheimer
funds themselves. Those ratings or rankings of shareholder and investor services
by third parties may include comparisons of their services to those provided by
other mutual fund families selected by the rating or ranking services. They may
be based upon the opinions of the rating or ranking service itself, using its
research or judgment, or based upon surveys of investors, brokers, shareholders
or others.

From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements and sales
literature the total return performance of a hypothetical investment account
that includes shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds. The combined
account may be part of an illustration of an asset allocation model or similar
presentation. The account performance may combine total return performance of
the Fund and the total return performance of other Oppenheimer funds included in
the account. Additionally, from time to time, the Fund's advertisements and
sales literature may include, for illustrative or comparative purposes,
statistical data or other information about general or specific market and
economic conditions. That may include, for example: o information about the
performance of certain securities or commodities
markets or segments of those markets,
o information about the performance of the economies of particular
countries or regions,
o the earnings of companies included in segments of particular
industries, sectors, securities markets, countries or regions,
o the availability of different types of securities or offerings of
securities,
o information relating to the gross national or gross domestic product of
the United States or other countries or regions,
o comparisons of various market sectors or indices to demonstrate
performance, risk, or other characteristics of the Fund.

How to Buy Shares

Additional information is presented below about the methods that can be used to
buy shares of the Fund. Appendix C contains more information about the special
sales charge arrangements offered by the Fund, and the circumstances in which
sales charges may be reduced or waived for certain classes of investors.

AccountLink. When shares are purchased through AccountLink, each purchase must
be at least $50 and shareholders must invest at least $500 before an Asset
Builder Plan (described below) can be established on a new account. The minimum
for accounts established prior to November 1, 2002 will remain at $25 for
additional purchases. Shares will be purchased on the regular business day the
Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated Clearing House ("ACH")
transfer to buy the shares. Dividends will begin to accrue on shares purchased
with the proceeds of ACH transfers on the business day the Fund receives Federal
Funds for the purchase through the ACH system before the close of The New York
Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"). The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., but
may close earlier on certain days. If Federal Funds are received on a business
day after the close of the Exchange, the shares will be purchased and dividends
will begin to accrue on the next regular business day. The proceeds of ACH
transfers are normally received by the Fund three days after the transfers are
initiated. If the proceeds of the ACH transfer are not received on a timely
basis, the Distributor reserves the right to cancel the purchase order. The
Distributor and the Fund are not responsible for any delays in purchasing shares
resulting from delays in ACH transmissions.

Reduced Sales Charges. As discussed in the Prospectus, a reduced sales charge
rate may be obtained for Class A shares under Right of Accumulation and Letters
of Intent because of the economies of sales efforts and reduction in expenses
realized by the Distributor, dealers and brokers making such sales. No sales
charge is imposed in certain other circumstances described in Appendix C to this
Statement of Additional Information because the Distributor or dealer or broker
incurs little or no selling expenses.

|X| ?Right of Accumulation. To qualify for the lower sales charge rates
that apply to larger purchases of Class A shares, you and your spouse can add
together:
o Class A and Class B shares you purchase for your individual accounts
(including IRAs and 403(b) plans), or for your joint accounts, or for
trust or custodial accounts on behalf of your children who are minors,
and
o Current purchases of Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other
Oppenheimer funds to reduce the sales charge rate that applies to
current purchases of Class A shares, and
o Class A and Class B shares of Oppenheimer funds you previously
purchased subject to an initial or contingent deferred sales charge to
reduce the sales charge rate for current purchases of Class A shares,
provided that you still hold your investment in one of the Oppenheimer
funds.

A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a trust, estate or other
fiduciary account (including one or more employee benefit plans of the same
employer) that has multiple accounts. The Distributor will add the value, at
current offering price, of the shares you previously purchased and currently own
to the value of current purchases to determine the sales charge rate that
applies. The reduced sales charge will apply only to current purchases. You must
request it when you buy shares.

The Oppenheimer Funds. The Oppenheimer funds are those mutual funds for
which the Distributor acts as the distributor and currently include the
following:

Oppenheimer Bond Fund Oppenheimer Municipal Bond Fund
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund Oppenheimer New Jersey Municipal Fund
Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund Oppenheimer New York Municipal Fund

1"OSM" stands for Oppenheimer Select Managers

There is an initial sales charge on the purchase of Class A shares of each
of the Oppenheimer funds described above except the money market funds and
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund. Under certain circumstances described in
this Statement of Additional Information, redemption proceeds of certain money
market fund shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

Letters of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent, if you purchase Class A shares or
Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds during a
13-month period, you can reduce the sales charge rate that applies to your
purchases of Class A shares. The total amount of your intended purchases of both
Class A and Class B shares will determine the reduced sales charge rate for the
Class A shares purchased during that period. You can include purchases made up
to 90 days before the date of the Letter. Letters of Intent do not consider
Class C or Class N shares you purchase or may have purchased.

A Letter of Intent is an investor's statement in writing to the
Distributor of the intention to purchase Class A shares or Class A and Class B
shares of the Fund (and other Oppenheimer funds) during a 13-month period (the
"Letter of Intent period"). At the investor's request, this may include
purchases made up to 90 days prior to the date of the Letter. The Letter states
the investor's intention to make the aggregate amount of purchases of shares
which, when added to the investor's holdings of shares of those funds, will
equal or exceed the amount specified in the Letter. Purchases made by
reinvestment of dividends or distributions of capital gains and purchases made
at net asset value without sales charge do not count toward satisfying the
amount of the Letter.

A Letter enables an investor to count the Class A and Class B shares
purchased under the Letter to obtain the reduced sales charge rate on purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund (and other Oppenheimer funds) that applies under
the Right of Accumulation to current purchases of Class A shares. Each purchase
of Class A shares under the Letter will be made at the offering price (including
the sales charge) that applies to a single lump-sum purchase of shares in the
amount intended to be purchased under the Letter.

In submitting a Letter, the investor makes no commitment to purchase
shares. However, if the investor's purchases of shares within the Letter of
Intent period, when added to the value (at offering price) of the investor's
holdings of shares on the last day of that period, do not equal or exceed the
intended purchase amount, the investor agrees to pay the additional amount of
sales charge applicable to such purchases. That amount is described in "Terms of
Escrow," below (those terms may be amended by the Distributor from time to
time). The investor agrees that shares equal in value to 5% of the intended
purchase amount will be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent subject to the
Terms of Escrow. Also, the investor agrees to be bound by the terms of the
Prospectus, this Statement of Additional Information and the application used
for a Letter of Intent. If those terms are amended, as they may be from time to
time by the Fund, the investor agrees to be bound by the amended terms and that
those amendments will apply automatically to existing Letters of Intent.

If the total eligible purchases made during the Letter of Intent period do
not equal or exceed the intended purchase amount, the concessions previously
paid to the dealer of record for the account and the amount of sales charge
retained by the Distributor will be adjusted to the rates applicable to actual
total purchases. If total eligible purchases during the Letter of Intent period
exceed the intended purchase amount and exceed the amount needed to qualify for
the next sales charge rate reduction set forth in the Prospectus, the sales
charges paid will be adjusted to the lower rate. That adjustment will be made
only if and when the dealer returns to the Distributor the excess of the amount
of concessions allowed or paid to the dealer over the amount of concessions that
apply to the actual amount of purchases. The excess concessions returned to the
Distributor will be used to purchase additional shares for the investor's
account at the net asset value per share in effect on the date of such purchase,
promptly after the Distributor's receipt thereof.

The Transfer Agent will not hold shares in escrow for purchases of shares
of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds by OppenheimerFunds prototype 401(k)
plans under a Letter of Intent. If the intended purchase amount under a Letter
of Intent entered into by an OppenheimerFunds prototype 401(k) plan is not
purchased by the plan by the end of the Letter of Intent period, there will be
no adjustment of concessions paid to the broker-dealer or financial institution
of record for accounts held in the name of that plan.

In determining the total amount of purchases made under a Letter, shares
redeemed by the investor prior to the termination of the Letter of Intent period
will be deducted. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the
investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter in placing any purchase
orders for the investor during the Letter of Intent period. All of such
purchases must be made through the Distributor.

|X| Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent.

1. Out of the initial purchase (or subsequent purchases if necessary) made
pursuant to a Letter, shares of the Fund equal in value up to 5% of the intended
purchase amount specified in the Letter shall be held in escrow by the Transfer
Agent. For example, if the intended purchase amount is $50,000, the escrow shall
be shares valued in the amount of $2,500 (computed at the offering price
adjusted for a $50,000 purchase). Any dividends and capital gains distributions
on the escrowed shares will be credited to the investor's account.

2. If the total minimum investment specified under the Letter is completed
within the 13-month Letter of Intent period, the escrowed shares will be
promptly released to the investor.

3. If at the end of the 13-month Letter of Intent period the total
purchases pursuant to the Letter are less than the intended purchase amount
specified in the Letter, the investor must remit to the Distributor an amount
equal to the difference between the dollar amount of sales charges actually paid
and the amount of sales charges which would have been paid if the total amount
purchased had been made at a single time. That sales charge adjustment will
apply to any shares redeemed prior to the completion of the Letter. If the
difference in sales charges is not paid within twenty days after a request from
the Distributor or the dealer, the Distributor will, within sixty days of the
expiration of the Letter, redeem the number of escrowed shares necessary to
realize such difference in sales charges. Full and fractional shares remaining
after such redemption will be released from escrow. If a request is received to
redeem escrowed shares prior to the payment of such additional sales charge, the
sales charge will be withheld from the redemption proceeds.

4. By signing the Letter, the investor irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the Transfer Agent as attorney-in-fact to surrender for redemption any
or all escrowed shares.

5. The shares eligible for purchase under the Letter (or the holding of
which may be counted toward completion of a Letter) include: (a) Class A shares
sold with a front-end sales charge or subject to a Class
A contingent deferred sales charge,
(b) Class B shares of other Oppenheimer funds acquired subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge, and
(c) Class A or Class B shares acquired by exchange of either (1) Class A
shares of one of the other Oppenheimer funds that were acquired
subject to a Class A initial or contingent deferred sales charge or
(2) Class B shares of one of the other Oppenheimer funds that were
acquired subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

6. Shares held in escrow hereunder will automatically be exchanged for
shares of another fund to which an exchange is requested, as described in the
section of the Prospectus entitled "How to Exchange Shares," and the escrow will
be transferred to that other fund.

Asset Builder Plans. As explained in the Prospectus, you must initially
establish your account with $500. Subsequently, you can establish an Asset
Builder Plan to automatically purchase additional shares directly from a bank
account for as little as $50. For those accounts established prior to November
1, 2002 and which have previously established Asset Builder Plans, the minimum
for additional purchases will remain at $25. Shares purchased by Asset Builder
Plan payments from bank accounts are subject to the redemption restrictions for
recent purchases described in the Prospectus. Asset Builder Plans are available
only if your bank is an ACH member. Asset Builder Plans may not be used to buy
shares for OppenheimerFunds employer-sponsored qualified retirement accounts.
Asset Builder Plans also enable shareholders of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves to use
their fund account to make monthly automatic purchases of shares of up to four
other Oppenheimer funds.

If you make payments from your bank account to purchase shares of the
Fund, your bank account will be debited automatically. Normally the debit will
be made two business days prior to the investment dates you selected on your
application. Neither the Distributor, the Transfer Agent nor the Fund shall be
responsible for any delays in purchasing shares that result from delays in ACH
transmissions.

Before you establish Asset Builder payments, you should obtain a
prospectus of the selected fund(s) from your financial advisor (or the
Distributor) and request an application from the Distributor. Complete the
application and return it. You may change the amount of your Asset Builder
payment or you can terminate these automatic investments at any time by writing
to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent requires a reasonable period
(approximately 10 days) after receipt of your instructions to implement them.
The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering Asset
Builder plans at any time without prior notice.

Retirement Plans. Certain types of retirement plans are entitled to purchase
shares of the Fund without sales charge or at reduced sales charge rates, as
described in Appendix C to this Statement of Additional Information. Certain
special sales charge arrangements described in that Appendix apply to retirement
plans whose records are maintained on a daily valuation basis by Merrill Lynch
Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") or an independent record keeper
that has a contract or special arrangement with Merrill Lynch. If on the date
the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement the
plan has less than $3 million in assets (other than assets invested in money
market funds) invested in applicable investments, then the retirement plan may
purchase only Class B shares of the Oppenheimer funds. Any retirement plans in
that category that currently invest in Class B shares of the Fund will have
their Class B shares converted to Class A shares of the Fund when the plan's
applicable investments reach $5 million. OppenheimerFunds has entered into
arrangements with certain record keepers whereby the Transfer Agent compensates
the record keeper for its record keeping and account servicing functions that it
performs on behalf of the participant level accounts of a retirement plan. While
such compensation may act to reduce the record keeping fees charged by the
retirement plan's record keeper, that compensation arrangement may be terminated
at any time, potentially affecting the record keeping fees charged by the
retirement plan's record keeper.

Cancellation of Purchase Orders. Cancellation of purchase orders for the Fund's
shares (for example, when a purchase check is returned to the Fund unpaid)
causes a loss to be incurred when the net asset values of the Fund's shares on
the cancellation date is less than on the purchase date. That loss is equal to
the amount of the decline in the net asset value per share multiplied by the
number of shares in the purchase order. The investor is responsible for that
loss. If the investor fails to compensate the Fund for the loss, the Distributor
will do so. The Fund may reimburse the Distributor for that amount by redeeming
shares from any account registered in that investor's name, or the Fund or the
Distributor may seek other redress.

Classes of Shares. Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in
the same portfolio of investments of the Fund. However, each class has different
shareholder privileges and features. The net income attributable to Class B,
Class C or Class N shares and the dividends payable on Class B, Class C or Class
N shares will be reduced by incremental expenses borne solely by that class.
Those expenses include the asset-based sales charges to which Class B, Class C
and Class N shares are subject.

The availability of different classes of shares permits an investor to
choose the method of purchasing shares that is more appropriate for the
investor. That may depend on the amount of the purchase, the length of time the
investor expects to hold shares, and other relevant circumstances. Class A
shares normally are sold subject to an initial sales charge. While Class B,
Class C and Class N shares have no initial sales charge, the purpose of the
deferred sales charge and asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class
N shares is the same as that of the initial sales charge on Class A shares - to
compensate the Distributor and brokers, dealers and financial institutions that
sell shares of the Fund. A salesperson who is entitled to receive compensation
from his or her firm for selling Fund shares may receive different levels of
compensation for selling one class of shares rather than another.

The Distributor will not accept any order in the amount of $500,000 or
more for Class B shares or $1 million or more for Class C shares on behalf of a
single investor (not including dealer "street name" or omnibus accounts). That
is because generally it will be more advantageous for that investor to purchase
Class A shares of the Fund.

Class A Shares Subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. For purchases of
Class A shares at net asset value whether or not subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge as described in the Prospectus, no sales concessions will
be paid to the broker-dealer of record, as described in the Prospectus, on sales
of Class A shares purchased with the redemption proceeds of shares of another
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 Oppenheimer funds are added as an investment option under that plan.
Additionally, that concession will not be paid on purchases of Class A shares by
a retirement plan made with the redemption proceeds of Class N shares of one or
more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan for more than 18 months.

|X| Class B Conversion. Under current interpretations of applicable
federal income tax law by the Internal Revenue Service, the conversion of Class
B shares to Class A shares after six years is not treated as a taxable event for
the shareholder. If those laws or the IRS interpretation of those laws should
change, the automatic conversion feature may be suspended. In that event, no
further conversions of Class B shares would occur while that suspension remained
in effect. Although Class B shares could then be exchanged for Class A shares on
the basis of relative net asset value of the two classes, without the imposition
of a sales charge or fee, such exchange could constitute a taxable event for the
shareholder, and absent such exchange, Class B shares might continue to be
subject to the asset-based sales charge for longer than six years.

|X| Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the description of the
types of retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares contained in the
prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following: o to all rollover
IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs), o to all rollover contributions made
to Individual 401(k) plans,
Profit-Sharing Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans,
o to all direct rollovers from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle and
Ascender retirement plans,
o to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,
o to all 90-24 type 403(b) transfers,
o to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix C to this
Statement of Additional Information) which have entered into a
special agreement with the Distributor for that purpose,
o to Retirement Plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code, the recordkeeper or the plan sponsor for
which has entered into a special agreement with the Distributor,
o to Retirement Plans of a plan sponsor where the aggregate assets of
all such plans invested in the Oppenheimer funds is $500,000 or
more,
o to OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Ascender 401(k) plans that pay for the
purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or
more Oppenheimer funds.
o to certain customers of broker-dealers and financial advisors that
are identified in a special agreement between the broker-dealer or
financial advisor and the Distributor for that purpose.

The sales concession and the advance of the service fee, as described in
the Prospectus, will not be paid to dealers of record on sales of Class N shares
on:
o purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a
retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption
proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds (other
than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or
Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds),
o purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a
retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption
proceeds of Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by
the plan for more than one year (other than rollovers from an
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to any
IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds), and
o on purchases of Class N shares by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored
Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan made with the redemption proceeds
of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds.

No sales concessions will be paid to the broker-dealer of record, as
described in the Prospectus, on sales of Class N shares purchased with the
redemption proceeds of shares of another 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 Oppenheimer funds are added as an
investment option under that plan.

|X| Allocation of Expenses. The Fund pays expenses related to its daily
operations, such as custodian fees, Directors' fees, transfer agency fees, legal
fees and auditing costs. Those expenses are paid out of the Fund's assets and
are not paid directly by shareholders. However, those expenses reduce the net
asset values of shares, and therefore are indirectly borne by shareholders
through their investment.

The methodology for calculating the net asset value, dividends and
distributions of the Fund's share classes recognizes two types of expenses.
General expenses that do not pertain specifically to any one class are allocated
pro rata to the shares of all classes. The allocation is based on the percentage
of the Fund's total assets that is represented by the assets of each class, and
then equally to each outstanding share within a given class. Such general
expenses include management fees, legal, bookkeeping and audit fees, printing
and mailing costs of shareholder reports, Prospectuses, Statements of Additional
Information and other materials for current shareholders, fees to unaffiliated
Directors, custodian expenses, share issuance costs, organization and start-up
costs, interest, taxes and brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses,
such as litigation costs.

Other expenses that are directly attributable to a particular class are
allocated equally to each outstanding share within that class. Examples of such
expenses include distribution and service plan (12b-1) fees, transfer and
shareholder servicing agent fees and expenses, and shareholder meeting expenses
(to the extent that such expenses pertain only to a specific class).

Account Fees. As stated in the Prospectus, a $12 annual fee is assessed on
any account valued at less than $500. This fee will not be assessed on the
following accounts:
o Accounts that have balances below $500 due to the automatic conversion of
shares from Class B to Class A shares;
o Accounts with an active Asset Builder Plan, payroll deduction plan or a
military allotment plan;
o OppenheimerFunds-sponsored group retirement accounts that are making
continuing purchases;
o Certain accounts held by broker-dealers through the National Securities
Clearing Corporation; and
o Accounts that fall below the $500 threshold due solely to market
fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the fee is
deducted.

The fee is automatically deducted from qualifying accounts annually on or
about the second to last business day of September. This annual fee is waived
for any shareholders who elect to access their account documents through
electronic document delivery rather than in paper copy and who elect to utilize
the Internet or PhoneLink as their primary source for their general servicing
needs. To sign up to access account documents electronically via eDocs Direct,
please visit the Service Center on our website at WWW.OPPENHEIMERFUNDS.COM or
call 1.888.470.0862 for instructions.

Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share. The net asset values per share of
each class of shares of the Fund are determined as of the close of business of
The New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") on each day that the Exchange is
open. The calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets
attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are
outstanding. The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, but may
close earlier on some other days (for example, in case of weather emergencies or
on days falling before a U.S. holiday). All references to time in this Statement
of Additional Information mean "Eastern time." The Exchange's most recent annual
announcement (which is subject to change) states that it will close on New
Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Good Friday, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It may
also close on other days.

Dealers other than Exchange members may conduct trading in certain
securities on days on which the Exchange is closed (including weekends and
holidays) or after 4:00 P.M. on a regular business day. Because the Fund's net
asset values will not be calculated on those days, the Fund's net asset values
per share may be significantly affected on such days when shareholders may not
purchase or redeem shares. Additionally, trading on European and Asian stock
exchanges and over-the-counter markets normally is completed before the close of
the Exchange.

Changes in the values of securities traded on foreign exchanges or markets
as a result of events that occur after the prices of those securities are
determined, but before the close of the Exchange, will not be reflected in the
Fund's calculation of its net asset values that day unless the Manager
determines that the event is likely to effect a material change in the value of
the security. The Manager, or an internal valuation committee established by the
Manager, as applicable, may establish a valuation, under procedures established
by the Board and subject to the approval, ratification and confirmation by the
Board at its next ensuing meeting.

|X| Securities Valuation. The Fund's Board of Directors has established
procedures for the valuation of the Fund's securities. In general those
procedures are as follows:
o Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or on Nasdaq(R)
are valued as follows:
(1) if last sale information is regularly reported, they are valued at the
last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which
they are traded or on Nasdaq, as applicable, on that day, or
(2) if last sale information is not available on a valuation date,
they are valued at the last reported sale price preceding the
valuation date if it is within the spread of the closing "bid"
and "asked" prices on the valuation date or, if not, at the
closing "bid" price on the valuation date.
o Equity securities traded on a foreign securities exchange generally are valued
in one of the following ways: (1) at the last sale price available to the
pricing service approved by the
Board of Directors, or
(2) at the last sale price obtained by the Manager from the report of
the principal exchange on which the security is traded at its
last trading session on or immediately before the valuation date,
or
(3) at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices obtained from
the principal exchange on which the security is traded or, on the
basis of reasonable inquiry, from two market makers in the
security.
o Long-term debt securities having a remaining maturity in excess of 60 days are
valued based on the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices determined by a
portfolio pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors or obtained
by the Manager from two active market makers in the security on the basis of
reasonable inquiry.
o The following securities are valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked"
prices determined by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors
or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the security on the
basis of reasonable inquiry:
(1) debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when
issued,
(2) debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when
issued and have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and
(3) non-money market debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days
or less when issued and which have a remaining maturity of 60
days or less.
o The following securities are valued at cost, adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts: (1) money market debt securities held by a
non-money market fund that had a
maturity of less than 397 days when issued that have a remaining
maturity of 60 days or less, and
(2) debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a
remaining maturity of 397 days or less.
o Securities (including restricted securities) not having readily-available
market quotations are valued at fair value determined under the Board's
procedures. If the Manager is unable to locate two market makers willing to give
quotes, a security may be priced at the mean between the "bid" and "asked"
prices provided by a single active market maker (which in certain cases may be
the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available).

In the case of U.S. government securities, mortgage-backed securities,
corporate bonds and foreign government securities, when last sale information is
not generally available the Manager may use pricing services approved by the
Board of Directors. The pricing service may use "matrix" comparisons to the
prices for comparable instruments on the basis of quality, yield and maturity.
Other special factors may be involved (such as the tax-exempt status of the
interest paid by municipal securities). The Manager will monitor the accuracy of
the pricing services. That monitoring may include comparing prices used for
portfolio valuation to actual sales prices of selected securities.

The closing prices in the London foreign exchange market on a particular
business day that are provided to the Manager by a bank, dealer or pricing
service that the Manager has determined to be reliable are used to value foreign
currency, including forward contracts, and to convert to U.S. dollars securities
that are denominated in foreign currency.

Puts, calls, and futures are valued at the last sale price on the
principal exchange on which they are traded or on Nasdaq, as applicable, as
determined by a pricing service approved by the Board of Directors or by the
Manager. If there were no sales that day, they shall be valued at the last sale
price on the preceding trading day if it is within the spread of the closing
"bid" and "asked" prices on the principal exchange or on Nasdaq on the valuation
date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the principal exchange
or on Nasdaq on the valuation date. If the put, call or future is not traded on
an exchange or on Nasdaq, it shall be valued by the mean between "bid" and
"asked" prices obtained by the Manager from two active market makers. In certain
cases that may be at the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available.

When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received is
included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset. An
equivalent credit is included in the liability section. The credit is adjusted
("marked-to-market") to reflect the current market value of the option. In
determining the Fund's gain on investments, if a call or put written by the Fund
is exercised, the proceeds are increased by the premium received. If a call or
put written by the Fund expires, the Fund has a gain in the amount of the
premium. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, it will have a
gain or loss, depending on whether the premium received was more or less than
the cost of the closing transaction. If the Fund exercises a put it holds, the
amount the Fund receives on its sale of the underlying investment is reduced by
the amount of premium paid by the Fund.

How to Sell Shares

The information below supplements the terms and conditions for redeeming shares
set forth in the Prospectus.

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Federal Funds Wire. The Federal Funds wire of
redemption proceeds may be delayed if the Fund's custodian bank is not open for
business on a day when the Fund would normally authorize the wire to be made,
which is usually the Fund's next regular business day following the redemption.
In those circumstances, the wire will not be transmitted until the next bank
business day on which the Fund is open for business. No dividends will be paid
on the proceeds of redeemed shares awaiting transfer by Federal Funds wire.

Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may
reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of: o Class A shares purchased
subject to an initial sales charge or Class A
shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or o Class
B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred
sales charge when redeemed.

The reinvestment may be made without sales charge only in Class A shares
of the Fund or any of the other Oppenheimer funds into which shares of the Fund
are exchangeable as described in "How to Exchange Shares" below. Reinvestment
will be at the net asset value next computed after the Transfer Agent receives
the reinvestment order. The shareholder must ask the Transfer Agent for that
privilege at the time of reinvestment. This privilege does not apply to Class C
and Class N shares. The Fund may amend, suspend or cease offering this
reinvestment privilege at any time as to shares redeemed after the date of such
amendment, suspension or cessation.

Any capital gain that was realized when the shares were redeemed is
taxable, and reinvestment will not alter any capital gains tax payable on that
gain. If there has been a capital loss on the redemption, some or all of the
loss may not be tax deductible, depending on the timing and amount of the
reinvestment. Under the Internal Revenue Code, if the redemption proceeds of
Fund shares on which a sales charge was paid are reinvested in shares of the
Fund or another of the Oppenheimer funds within 90 days of payment of the sales
charge, the shareholder's basis in the shares of the Fund that were redeemed may
not include the amount of the sales charge paid. That would reduce the loss or
increase the gain recognized from the redemption. However, in that case the
sales charge would be added to the basis of the shares acquired by the
reinvestment of the redemption proceeds.

Payments "In Kind". The Prospectus states that payment for shares tendered for
redemption is ordinarily made in cash. However, under certain circumstances, the
Board of Directors of the Fund may determine that it would be detrimental to the
best interests of the remaining shareholders of the 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 liquid
securities from the portfolio of the Fund, in lieu of cash.

The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment
Company Act. Under that rule, the 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. The Fund will value securities used to pay redemptions in
kind using the same method the Fund uses to value its portfolio securities
described above under "Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share." That
valuation will be made as of the time the redemption price is determined.

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board of Directors has the right to cause
the involuntary redemption of the shares held in any account if the aggregate
net asset value of those shares is less than $500 or such lesser amount as the
Board may fix. The Board will not cause the involuntary redemption of shares in
an account if the aggregate net asset value of such shares has fallen below the
stated minimum solely as a result of market fluctuations. If the Board exercises
this right, it may also fix the requirements for any notice to be given to the
shareholders in question (not less than 30 days). The Board may alternatively
set requirements for the shareholder to increase the investment, or set other
terms and conditions so that the shares would not be involuntarily redeemed.

Transfers of Shares. A transfer of shares to a different registration is not an
event that triggers the payment of sales charges. Therefore, shares are not
subject to the payment of a contingent deferred sales charge of any class at the
time of transfer to the name of another person or entity. It does not matter
whether the transfer occurs by absolute assignment, gift or bequest, as long as
it does not involve, directly or indirectly, a public sale of the shares. When
shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge are transferred, the
transferred shares will remain subject to the contingent deferred sales charge.
It will be calculated as if the transferee shareholder had acquired the
transferred shares in the same manner and at the same time as the transferring
shareholder.

If less than all shares held in an account are transferred, and some but
not all shares in the account would be subject to a contingent deferred sales
charge if redeemed at the time of transfer, the priorities described in the
Prospectus under "How to Buy Shares" for the imposition of the Class B, Class C
and Class N contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in determining the
order in which shares are transferred.

Distributions From Retirement Plans. Requests for distributions from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial
plans, 401(k) plans or pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to
"Director, OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its
address listed in "How To Sell Shares" in the Prospectus or on the back cover of
this Statement of Additional Information. 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 Fund's other redemption
requirements.

Participants (other than self-employed plan sponsors) in
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored pension or profit-sharing plans with shares of the
Fund held in the name of the plan or its fiduciary may not directly request
redemption of their accounts. The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign the
request.

Distributions from pension and profit sharing plans are subject to special
requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and certain documents (available
from the Transfer Agent) must be completed and submitted to the Transfer Agent
before the distribution may be made. Distributions from retirement plans are
subject to withholding requirements under the Internal Revenue Code, and IRS
Form W-4P (available from the Transfer Agent) must be submitted to the Transfer
Agent with the distribution request, or the distribution may be delayed. Unless
the shareholder has provided the Transfer Agent with a certified tax
identification number, the Internal Revenue Code requires that tax be withheld
from any distribution even if the shareholder elects not to have tax withheld.
The Fund, the Manager, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent assume no
responsibility to determine whether a distribution satisfies the conditions of
applicable tax laws and will not be responsible for any tax penalties assessed
in connection with a distribution.

Special Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers. The
Distributor is the Fund's agent to repurchase its shares from authorized dealers
or brokers on behalf of their customers. Shareholders should contact their
broker or dealer to arrange this type of redemption. The repurchase price per
share will be the net asset value next computed after the Distributor receives
an order placed by the dealer or broker. However, if the Distributor receives a
repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the close of the 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 customers prior to the time
the Exchange closes. Normally, the Exchange closes at 4:00 P.M., but may do so
earlier on some days. Additionally, the order must have been transmitted to and
received by the Distributor prior to its close of business that day (normally
5:00 P.M.).

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. The signature(s) of the registered owners on the redemption
documents must be guaranteed as described in the Prospectus.

Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans. Investors owning shares of the Fund
valued at $5,000 or more can authorize the Transfer Agent to redeem shares
(having a value of at least $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
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. Payments must also be sent to the address of record for
the account and the address must not have been changed within the prior 30 days.
Required minimum distributions from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored retirement plans
may not be arranged on this basis.

Payments are normally made by check, but shareholders having AccountLink
privileges (see "How To Buy Shares") may arrange to have Automatic Withdrawal
Plan payments transferred to the bank account designated on the account
application or by signature-guaranteed instructions sent to the Transfer Agent.
Shares are normally redeemed pursuant to an Automatic Withdrawal Plan three
business days before the payment transmittal date you select in the account
application. If a contingent deferred sales charge applies to the redemption,
the amount of the check or payment will be reduced accordingly.

The Fund cannot guarantee receipt of a payment on the date requested. The
Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering these plans at
any time without prior notice. Because of the sales charge assessed on Class A
share purchases, shareholders should not make regular additional Class A share
purchases while participating in an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Class B, Class C
and Class N shareholders should not establish automatic withdrawal plans,
because of the potential imposition of the contingent deferred sales charge on
such withdrawals (except where the Class B, Class C or Class N contingent
deferred sales charge is waived as described in Appendix C to this Statement of
Additional Information).

By requesting an Automatic Withdrawal or Exchange Plan, the shareholder
agrees to the terms and conditions that apply to such plans, as stated below.
These provisions may be amended from time to time by the Fund and/or the
Distributor. When adopted, any amendments will automatically apply to existing
Plans.

|X| Automatic Exchange Plans. Shareholders can authorize the Transfer
Agent to exchange a pre-determined amount of shares of the Fund for shares (of
the same class) of other Oppenheimer funds automatically on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Exchange Plan. The
minimum amount that may be exchanged to each other fund account is $50.
Instructions should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds Application or
signature-guaranteed instructions. Exchanges made under these plans are subject
to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in "How to Exchange
Shares" in the Prospectus and below in this Statement of Additional Information.

Automatic Withdrawal Plans. Fund shares will be redeemed as necessary to meet
withdrawal payments. Shares acquired without a sales charge will be redeemed
first. Shares acquired with reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions
will be redeemed next, followed by shares acquired with a sales charge, to the
extent necessary to make withdrawal payments. Depending upon the amount
withdrawn, the investor's principal may be depleted. Payments made under these
plans should not be considered as a yield or income on your investment.

The Transfer Agent will administer the investor's Automatic Withdrawal
Plan as agent for the shareholder(s) (the "Planholder") who executed the Plan
authorization and application submitted to the Transfer Agent. Neither the Fund
nor the Transfer Agent shall incur any liability to the Planholder for any
action taken or not taken by the Transfer Agent in good faith to administer the
Plan. Share certificates will not be issued for shares of the Fund purchased for
and held under the Plan, but the Transfer Agent will credit all such shares to
the account of the Planholder on the records of the Fund. Any share certificates
held by a Planholder may be surrendered unendorsed to the Transfer Agent with
the Plan application so that the shares represented by the certificate may be
held under the Plan.

For accounts subject to Automatic Withdrawal Plans, distributions of
capital gains must be reinvested in shares of the Fund, which will be done at
net asset value without a sales charge. Dividends on shares held in the account
may be paid in cash or reinvested.

Shares will be redeemed to make withdrawal payments at the net asset value
per share determined on the redemption date. Checks or AccountLink payments
representing the proceeds of Plan withdrawals will normally be transmitted three
business days prior to the date selected for receipt of the payment, according
to the choice specified in writing by the Planholder. Receipt of payment on the
date selected cannot be guaranteed.

The amount and the interval of disbursement payments and the address to
which checks are to be mailed or AccountLink payments are to be sent may be
changed at any time by the Planholder by writing to the Transfer Agent. The
Planholder should allow at least two weeks' time after mailing such notification
for the requested change to be put in effect. The Planholder may, at any time,
instruct the Transfer Agent by written notice to redeem all, or any part of, the
shares held under the Plan. That notice must be in proper form in accordance
with the requirements of the then-current Prospectus of the Fund. In that case,
the Transfer Agent will redeem the number of shares requested at the net asset
value per share in effect and will mail a check for the proceeds to the
Planholder.

The Planholder may terminate a Plan at any time by writing to the Transfer
Agent. The Fund may also give directions to the Transfer Agent to terminate a
Plan. The Transfer Agent will also terminate a Plan upon its receipt of evidence
satisfactory to it that the Planholder has died or is legally incapacitated.
Upon termination of a Plan by the Transfer Agent or the Fund, shares that have
not been redeemed will be held in uncertificated form in the name of the
Planholder. The account will continue as a dividend-reinvestment, uncertificated
account unless and until proper instructions are received from the Planholder,
his or her executor or guardian, or another authorized person.

To use shares held under the Plan as collateral for a debt, the Planholder
may request issuance of a portion of the shares in certificated form. Upon
written request from the Planholder, the Transfer Agent will determine the
number of shares for which a certificate may be issued without causing the
withdrawal checks to stop. However, should such uncertificated shares become
exhausted, Plan withdrawals will terminate.

If the Transfer Agent ceases to act as transfer agent for the Fund, the
Planholder will be deemed to have appointed any successor transfer agent to act
as agent in administering the Plan.

How to Exchange Shares

As stated in the Prospectus, shares of a particular class of Oppenheimer funds
having more than one class of shares may be exchanged only for shares of the
same class of other Oppenheimer funds. Shares of Oppenheimer funds that have a
single class without a class designation are deemed "Class A" shares for this
purpose. You can obtain a current list showing which funds offer which classes
of shares by calling the Distributor.

o All of the Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class A, B, C, N and Y shares
with the following exceptions:

The following funds only offer Class A shares:
Centennial America Fund, L.P. Centennial New York Tax Exempt
Trust
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust Centennial Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial Government Trust Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.
Centennial Money Market Trust

The following funds do not offer Class N shares:
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal
Fund
Oppenheimer Limited Term Municipal Fund Oppenheimer Rochester National
Municipals
Oppenheimer Municipal Bond Fund Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate
Fund
Oppenheimer New Jersey Municipal Fund Limited Term New York Municipal
Fund
Oppenheimer New York Municipal Fund Rochester Fund Municipals

The following funds do not offer Class Y shares:
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund Oppenheimer Limited Term Municipal

o Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be exchanged for
shares of any other fund.
o Class B, Class C and Class N shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves are
generally available only by exchange from the same class of shares of
other Oppenheimer funds or through OppenheimerFunds-sponsored 401(k)
plans.
o Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund may be exchanged
only for Class A shares of other Oppenheimer funds. They may not be
acquired by exchange of shares of any class of any other Oppenheimer funds
except Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund or Oppenheimer Cash
Reserves acquired by exchange of Class M shares.
o Class X shares of Limited Term New York Municipal Fund may be exchanged
only for Class B shares of other Oppenheimer funds and no exchanges may be
made to Class X shares.
o Shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund may not be exchanged for
shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc., Oppenheimer Cash Reserves
or Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund. Only participants in certain
retirement plans may purchase shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation
Fund, and only those participants may exchange shares of other Oppenheimer
funds for shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund.
o Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are not available
by exchange of shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund or Class A shares
of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves.
o Shares of Oppenheimer Select Managers Mercury Advisors S&P Index Fund and
Oppenheimer Select Managers QM Active Balanced Fund are only available to
retirement plans and are available only by exchange from the same class of
shares of other Oppenheimer funds held by retirement plans.
o Class A shares of Oppenheimer funds may be exchanged at net asset value
for shares of any money market fund offered by the Distributor. Shares of
any money market fund purchased without a sales charge may be exchanged
for shares of Oppenheimer funds offered with a sales charge upon payment
of the sales charge. They may also be used to purchase shares of
Oppenheimer funds subject to an early withdrawal charge or contingent
deferred sales charge.
o Shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. purchased with the
redemption proceeds of shares of other mutual funds (other than funds
managed by the Manager or its subsidiaries) redeemed within the 30 days
prior to that purchase may subsequently be exchanged for shares of
other Oppenheimer funds without being subject to an initial sales
charge or contingent deferred sales charge. To qualify for that
privilege, the investor or the investor's dealer must notify the
Distributor of eligibility for this privilege at the time the shares of
Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. are purchased. If requested, they
must supply proof of entitlement to this privilege.
o Shares of the Fund acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions
from any of the other Oppenheimer funds or from any unit investment trust
for which reinvestment arrangements have been made with the Distributor
may be exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
funds.

The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any
time. Although the Fund may impose these changes at any time, it will provide
you with notice of those changes whenever it is required to do so by applicable
law. It may be required to provide 60 days' notice prior to materially amending
or terminating the exchange privilege. That 60 day notice is not required in
extraordinary circumstances.

|X| How Exchanges Affect Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. No contingent
deferred sales charge is imposed on exchanges of shares of any class purchased
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, with the following exceptions:

o When Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund (other than Rochester National
Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) acquired by exchange of Class A shares
of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales
charge are redeemed within 18 months measured from the beginning of the calendar
month of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A
contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares.

o When Class A shares of Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund
Municipals acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund
purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed
within 24 months of the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase
of the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is
imposed on the redeemed shares.

o If any Class A shares of another Oppenheimer fund that are exchanged for Class
A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are subject to the Class A
contingent deferred sales charge of the other Oppenheimer fund at the time of
exchange, the holding period for that Class A contingent deferred sales charge
will carry over to the Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund
acquired in the exchange. The Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate
Fund acquired in that exchange will be subject to the Class A Early Withdrawal
Charge of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund if they are repurchased before
the expiration of the holding period.

o When Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves and Oppenheimer Money Market
Fund, Inc. acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund
purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed
within the Class A holding period of the fund from which the shares were
exchanged, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the fund from which
the shares were exchanged is imposed on the redeemed shares.

o With respect to Class B shares, the Class B contingent deferred sales charge
is imposed on Class B shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within
six years of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.

o With respect to Class C shares, the Class C contingent deferred sales charge
is imposed on Class C shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 12
months of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class C shares.

o With respect to Class N shares, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge will be
imposed if the retirement plan (not including IRAs and 403(b) plans) is
terminated or Class N shares of all Oppenheimer funds are terminated as an
investment option of the plan and Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months
after the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund or
with respect to an individual retirement plan or 403(b) plan, Class N shares are
redeemed within 18 months of the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any
Oppenheimer fund.

o When Class B, Class C or Class N shares are redeemed to effect an exchange,
the priorities described in "How To Buy Shares" in the Prospectus for the
imposition of the Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales charge
will be followed in determining the order in which the shares are exchanged.
Before exchanging shares, shareholders should take into account how the exchange
may affect any contingent deferred sales charge that might be imposed in the
subsequent redemption of remaining shares.

Shareholders owning shares of more than one class must specify which class
of shares they wish to exchange.

|X| Limits on Multiple Exchange Orders. The Fund reserves the right to
reject telephone or written exchange requests submitted in bulk by anyone on
behalf of more than one account. The Fund may accept requests for exchanges of
up to 50 accounts per day from representatives of authorized dealers that
qualify for this privilege.

|X| Telephone Exchange Requests. When exchanging shares by telephone, a
shareholder must have an existing account in the fund to which the exchange is
to be made. Otherwise, the investors must obtain a prospectus of that fund
before the exchange request may be submitted. 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.

Processing 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 an immediate
transfer of the redemption proceeds. The Fund reserves the right, in its
discretion, to refuse any exchange request that may disadvantage it. For
example, if the receipt of multiple exchange requests from a dealer might
require the disposition of portfolio securities at a time or at a price that
might be disadvantageous to the Fund, the Fund may refuse the request.

When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to another, any
special account features such as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Withdrawal
Plan, will be switched to the new fund account unless you tell the Transfer
Agent not to do so. However, special redemption and exchange features such as
Automatic Exchange Plans and Automatic Withdrawal Plans cannot be switched to an
account in Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund.

In connection with any exchange request, the number of shares exchanged
may be less than the number requested if the exchange or the number requested
would include shares subject to a restriction cited in the Prospectus or this
Statement of Additional Information, or would include shares covered by a share
certificate that is not tendered with the request. In those cases, only the
shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.

The different Oppenheimer funds available for exchange have different
investment objectives, policies and risks. A shareholder should assure that the
fund selected is appropriate for his or her investment and should be aware of
the tax consequences of an exchange. For federal income tax purposes, an
exchange transaction is treated as a redemption of shares of one fund and a
purchase of shares of another. "Reinvestment Privilege," above, discusses some
of the tax consequences of reinvestment of redemption proceeds in such cases.
The Fund, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent are unable to provide
investment, tax or legal advice to a shareholder in connection with an exchange
request or any other investment transaction.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends and Distributions. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and there can
be no assurance as to the payment of any dividends or the realization of any
capital gains. The dividends and distributions paid by a class of shares will
vary from time to time depending on market conditions, the composition of the
Fund's portfolio, and expenses borne by the Fund or borne separately by a class.
Dividends are calculated in the same manner, at the same time, and on the same
day for each class of shares. However, dividends on Class B, Class C and Class N
shares are expected to be lower than dividends on Class A and Class Y shares.
That is because of the effect of the asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class
C and Class N shares. Those dividends will also differ in amount as a
consequence of any difference in the net asset values of the different classes
of shares.

Dividends, distributions and proceeds of the redemption of Fund shares
represented by checks returned to the Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as
undeliverable will be invested in shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.
Reinvestment will be made as promptly as possible after the return of such
checks to the Transfer Agent, to enable the investor to earn a return on
otherwise idle funds. Unclaimed accounts may be subject to state escheatment
laws, and the Fund and the Transfer Agent will not be liable to shareholders or
their representatives for compliance with those laws in good faith.

Tax Status of the Fund's Dividends, Distributions and Redemptions of Shares. The
federal tax treatment of the Fund's dividends and capital gains distributions is
briefly highlighted in the Prospectus. The following is only a summary of
certain additional tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its
shareholders.

The tax discussion in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional
Information is based on tax law in effect on the date of the Prospectus and this
Statement of Additional Information. Those laws and regulations may be changed
by legislative, judicial, or administrative action, sometimes with retroactive
effect. State and local tax treatment of ordinary income dividends and capital
gain dividends from regulated investment companies may differ from the treatment
under the Internal Revenue Code described below. Potential purchasers of shares
of the Fund are urged to consult their tax advisers with specific reference to
their own tax circumstances as well as the consequences of federal, state and
local tax rules affecting an investment in the Fund.

Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company. The Fund has elected to be
taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a regulated investment company, the Fund is
not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its net investment income
(that is, taxable interest, dividends, and other taxable ordinary income, net of
expenses) and capital gain net income (that is, the excess of net long-term
capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that it distributes to
shareholders. That qualification enables the Fund to "pass through" its income
and realized capital gains to shareholders without having to pay tax on them.
This avoids a "double tax" on that income and capital gains, since shareholders
normally will be taxed on the dividends and capital gains they receive from the
Fund (unless their Fund shares are held in a retirement account or the
shareholder is otherwise exempt from tax).

The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests relating to
qualification that the Fund might not meet in a particular year. If it did not
qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund would be treated for tax
purposes as an ordinary corporation and would receive no tax deduction for
payments made to shareholders.

To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must distribute at
least 90% of its investment company taxable income (in brief, net investment
income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital
loss) for the taxable year. The Fund must also satisfy certain other
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, some of which are described below.
Distributions by the Fund made during the taxable year or, under specified
circumstances, within 12 months after the close of the taxable year, will be
considered distributions of income and gains for the taxable year and will
therefore count toward satisfaction of the above-mentioned requirement.

To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must derive at
least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with
respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock
or securities or foreign currencies (to the extent such currency gains are
directly related to the regulated investment company's principal business of
investing in stock or securities) and certain other income.

In addition to satisfying the requirements described above, the Fund must
satisfy an asset diversification test in order to qualify as a regulated
investment company. Under that test, at the close of each quarter of the Fund's
taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets must consist of
cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. Government securities,
securities of other regulated investment companies, and securities of other
issuers. As to each of those issuers, the Fund must not have invested more than
5% of the value of the Fund's total assets in securities of each such issuer and
the Fund must not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of
each such issuer. No more than 25% of the value of its total assets may be
invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. government
securities and securities of other regulated investment companies), or in two or
more issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same or
similar trades or businesses. For purposes of this test, obligations issued or
guaranteed by certain agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government are
treated as U.S. government securities.

Excise Tax on Regulated Investment Companies. Under the Internal Revenue Code,
by December 31 each year, the Fund must distribute 98% of its taxable investment
income earned from January 1 through December 31 of that year and 98% of its
capital gains realized in the period from November 1 of the prior year through
October 31 of the current year. If it does not, the Fund must pay an excise tax
on the amounts not distributed. It is presently anticipated that the Fund will
meet those requirements. To meet this requirement, in certain circumstances the
Fund might be required to liquidate portfolio investments to make sufficient
distributions to avoid excise tax liability. However, the Board of Directors and
the Manager might determine in a particular year that it would be in the best
interests of shareholders for the Fund not to make such distributions at the
required levels and to pay the excise tax on the undistributed amounts. That
would reduce the amount of income or capital gains available for distribution to
shareholders.

Taxation of Fund Distributions. The Fund anticipates distributing substantially
all of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. Those
distributions will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and treated as
dividends for federal income tax purposes.

Special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code govern the eligibility of
the Fund's dividends for the dividends-received deduction for corporate
shareholders. Long-term capital gains distributions are not eligible for the
deduction. The amount of dividends paid by the Fund that may qualify for the
deduction is limited to the aggregate amount of qualifying dividends that the
Fund derives from portfolio investments that the Fund has held for a minimum
period, usually 46 days. A corporate shareholder will not be eligible for the
deduction on dividends paid on Fund shares held for 45 days or less. To the
extent the Fund's dividends are derived from gross income from option premiums,
interest income or short-term gains from the sale of securities or dividends
from foreign corporations, those dividends will not qualify for the deduction.

The Fund may either retain or distribute to shareholders its net capital
gain for each taxable year. The Fund currently intends to distribute any such
amounts. If net long-term capital gains are distributed and designated as a
capital gain distribution, it will be taxable to shareholders as a long-term
capital gain and will be properly identified in reports sent to shareholders in
January of each year. Such treatment will apply no matter how long the
shareholder has held his or her shares or whether that gain was recognized by
the Fund before the shareholder acquired his or her shares.

If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund will be
subject to tax on it at the 35% corporate tax rate. If the Fund elects to retain
its net capital gain, the Fund will provide to shareholders of record on the
last day of its taxable year information regarding their pro rata share of the
gain and tax paid. As a result, each shareholder will be required to report his
or her pro rata share of such gain on their tax return as long-term capital
gain, will receive a refundable tax credit for his/her pro rata share of tax
paid by the Fund on the gain, and will increase the tax basis for his/her shares
by an amount equal to the deemed distribution less the tax credit.

Investment income that may be received by the Fund from sources within
foreign countries may be subject to foreign taxes withheld at the source. The
United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries which
entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such income.

Distributions by the Fund that do not constitute ordinary income dividends
or capital gain distributions will be treated as a return of capital to the
extent of the shareholder's tax basis in their shares. Any excess will be
treated as gain from the sale of those shares, as discussed below. Shareholders
will be advised annually as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of
distributions made (or deemed made) during the year. If prior distributions made
by the Fund must be re-characterized as a non-taxable return of capital at the
end of the fiscal year as a result of the effect of the Fund's investment
policies, they will be identified as such in notices sent to shareholders.

Distributions by the Fund will be treated in the manner described above
regardless of whether the distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in
additional shares of the Fund (or of another fund). Shareholders receiving a
distribution in the form of additional shares will be treated as receiving a
distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received,
determined as of the reinvestment date.

The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold 30% (29% for
payments after December 31, 2003) of ordinary income dividends, capital gains
distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any
shareholder (1) who has failed to provide a correct taxpayer identification
number or to properly certify that number when required, (2) who is subject to
backup withholding for failure to report the receipt of interest or dividend
income properly, or (3) who has failed to certify to the Fund that the
shareholder is not subject to backup withholding or is an "exempt recipient"
(such as a corporation). All income and any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted
by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to
shareholders in January of each year.

Tax Effects of Redemptions of Shares. If a shareholder redeems all or a portion
of his/her shares, the shareholder will recognize a gain or loss on the redeemed
shares in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds of the redeemed
shares and the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the shares. All or a portion
of any loss recognized in that manner may be disallowed if the shareholder
purchases other shares of the Fund within 30 days before or after the
redemption.

In general, any gain or loss arising from the redemption of shares of the
Fund will be considered capital gain or loss, if the shares were held as a
capital asset. It will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were held
for more than one year. However, any capital loss arising from the redemption of
shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss
to the extent of the amount of capital gain dividends received on those shares.
Special holding period rules under the Internal Revenue Code apply in this case
to determine the holding period of shares and there are limits on the
deductibility of capital losses in any year.

Foreign Shareholders. Under U.S. tax law, taxation of a shareholder who is a
foreign person (to include, but not limited to, a nonresident alien individual,
a foreign trust, a foreign estate, a foreign corporation, or a foreign
partnership) primarily depends on whether the foreign person's income from the
Fund is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.
Typically, ordinary income dividends paid from a mutual fund are not considered
"effectively connected" income.

Ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Fund (and are deemed not
"effectively connected income") to foreign persons will be subject to a U.S. tax
withheld by the Fund at a rate of 30%, provided the Fund obtains a properly
completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. The tax rate may be reduced
if the foreign person's country of residence has a tax treaty with the U.S.
allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund.
All income and any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S.
Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in March of each
year.

If the ordinary income dividends from the Fund are effectively connected
with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, then the foreign person may claim
an exemption from the U.S. tax described above provided the Fund obtains a
properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status.

If the foreign person fails to provide a certification of his/her foreign
status, the Fund will be required to withhold U.S. tax at a rate of 30% (29% for
payments after December 31, 2003) on ordinary income dividends, capital gains
distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any foreign
person. All income and any tax withheld (in this situation) by the Fund is
remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to
shareholders in January of each year.

The tax consequences to foreign persons entitled to claim the benefits of
an applicable tax treaty may be different from those described herein. Foreign
shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors or the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an
investment in the Fund, including the applicability of the U.S. withholding
taxes described above.

Dividend Reinvestment in Another Fund. Shareholders of the Fund may elect to
reinvest all dividends and/or capital gains distributions in shares of the same
class of any of the other Oppenheimer funds listed above. Reinvestment will be
made without sales charge at the net asset value per share in effect at the
close of business on the payable date of the dividend or distribution. To elect
this option, the shareholder must notify the Transfer Agent in writing and must
have an existing account in the fund selected for reinvestment. Otherwise the
shareholder first must obtain a prospectus for that fund and an application from
the Distributor to establish an account. Dividends and/or distributions from
shares of certain other Oppenheimer funds (other than Oppenheimer Cash Reserves)
may be invested in shares of this Fund on the same basis.

Additional Information About the Fund

The Distributor. The Fund's shares are sold through dealers, brokers and other
financial institutions that have a sales agreement with OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager that acts as the Fund's
Distributor. The Distributor also distributes shares of the other Oppenheimer
funds and is sub-distributor for funds managed by a subsidiary of the Manager.

The Transfer Agent. OppenheimerFunds Services, the Fund's Transfer Agent, is a
division of the Manager. It is responsible for maintaining the Fund's
shareholder registry and shareholder accounting records, and for paying
dividends and distributions to shareholders. It also handles shareholder
servicing and administrative functions. It serves as the Transfer Agent for an
annual per account fee. It also acts as shareholder servicing agent for the
other Oppenheimer funds. Shareholders should direct inquiries about their
accounts to the Transfer Agent at the address and toll-free numbers shown on the
back cover.

The Custodian. Citibank, N.A. is the custodian of the Fund's assets. The
custodian's responsibilities include safeguarding and controlling the Fund's
portfolio securities and handling the delivery of such securities to and from
the Fund. It is the practice of the Fund to deal with the custodian in a manner
uninfluenced by any banking relationship the custodian may have with the Manager
and its affiliates. The Fund's cash balances with the custodian in excess of
$100,000 are not protected by federal deposit insurance. Those uninsured
balances at times may be substantial.

Independent Auditors. KPMG LLP are the independent auditors of the Fund. They
audit the Fund's financial statements and perform other related audit services.
They also act as auditors for certain other funds advised by the Manager and its
affiliates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

================================================================================
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Quest Capital Value Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The
Fund's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). The Manager
has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OpCap Advisors.
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares. Class A shares
are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a
front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are sold without a
front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
(CDSC). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans
that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of
shares have identical rights and voting privileges. Earnings, net assets and net
asset value per share may differ by minor amounts due to each class having its
own expenses directly attributable to that class. Classes A, B, C and N have
separate distribution and/or service plans. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares six years after the date of purchase.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities Valuation. Securities listed or traded on National Stock Exchanges or
other domestic or foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price of
the security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Fund's assets
are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale
price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the closing bid
and asked prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Securities (including
restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available are valued
primarily using dealer-supplied valuations, a portfolio pricing service
authorized by the Board of Directors, or at their fair value. Fair value is
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
supervision of the Board of Directors. Short-term "money market type" debt
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost (which approximates market value).

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than
those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated daily to
each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets
represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a
specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to comply with provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on
investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders.
Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

22 | OPPENHEIMER QUEST CAPITAL VALUE FUND, INC.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2002, the Fund did not utilize any
capital loss carryforward.

As of October 31, 2002, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes
an unused capital loss carryforward as follows:

Expiring
----------------------
2010 $3,944,756

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Directors' Compensation. The Fund has adopted a nonfunded retirement plan for
the Fund's independent directors. Benefits are based on years of service and
fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the year ended
October 31, 2002, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased by
$3,635 and payments of $563 were made to retired directors, resulting in an
accumulated liability of $22,116 as of October 31, 2002.
The Board of Directors has adopted a deferred compensation plan for
independent directors that enables directors to elect to defer receipt of all or
a portion of annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund.
Under the plan, the compensation deferred is invested for the Board of Directors
in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the director. The amount
paid to the Board of Directors under the plan will be determined based upon the
performance of the selected funds. Deferral of directors' fees under the plan
will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the
Fund's assets, liabilities or net investment income per share.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to
shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations,
are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Classification of Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. 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.
The Fund adjusts the classification of distributions to shareholders to
reflect the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions
determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, during the
year ended October 31, 2002, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a
decrease in paid-in capital of $1,775,653, a decrease in accumulated net
investment loss of $1,765,210, and a decrease in accumulated net realized loss
on investments of $10,443. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the
reclassifications.

================================================================================
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended October 31, 2002
and year ended October 31, 2001 was as follows:

Year Ended Year Ended
October 31, 2002 October 31, 2001
------------------------------------------------------
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income $ -- $24,192,101
Long-term capital gain 4,461,473 36,731,387
Return of capital -- --
----------------------------
Total $4,461,473 $60,923,488
============================

As of October 31, 2002, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis
were as follows:

Accumulated net investment loss $ (22,114)
Accumulated net realized loss (4,378,458)
Net unrealized depreciation (2,257,551)
-----------
Total $(6,658,123)
===========

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon
ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the
ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend
income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities
received. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization
of premium, is accrued as earned.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date.
Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

N shares.

25 | OPPENHEIMER QUEST CAPITAL VALUE FUND, INC.

================================================================================
3. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other
than short-term obligations, for the year ended October 31, 2002, were
$191,036,132 and $156,487,852, respectively.

As of October 31, 2002, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on cost of
securities for federal income tax purposes of $215,152,701 was composed of:

Gross unrealized appreciation $ 16,741,631
Gross unrealized depreciation (19,432,885)
-------------
Net unrealized depreciation $ (2,691,254)
=============

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation and
depreciation, if applicable, is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of
losses on wash sales, or return of capital dividends, and the realization for
tax purposes of unrealized gain (loss) on certain futures contracts, investments
in passive foreign investment companies, and forward foreign currency exchange
contracts.

================================================================================
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the

Appendix A

RATINGS DEFINITIONS

Below are summaries of the rating definitions used by the nationally-recognized
rating agencies listed below. Those ratings represent the opinion of the agency
as to the credit quality of issues that they rate. The summaries below are based
upon publicly-available information provided by the rating organizations.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long-Term (Taxable) Bond Ratings

Aaa: Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be the best quality. They carry the smallest
degree of investment risk. Interest payments are protected by a large or by an
exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various
protective elements are likely to change, the changes that can be expected are
most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa: Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together
with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds.
They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not
be as large as with Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be
of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the
long-term risks appear somewhat larger than those of Aaa securities.

A: Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be
considered as upper-medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

Baa: Bonds rated Baa are considered medium grade obligations; that is, they are
neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal
security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be
lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time.
Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative
characteristics as well.

Ba: Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements. Their future cannot
be considered well-assured. Often the protection of interest and principal
payments may be very moderate and not well safeguarded during both good and bad
times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this
class.

B: Bonds rated B generally lack characteristics of desirable investment.
Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of
the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa: Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing and may be in default or there may
be present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.

Ca: Bonds rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high
degree and are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

C: Bonds rated C are the lowest class of rated bonds and can be regarded as
having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating
classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier "1" indicates that the
obligation ranks in the higher end of its category; the modifier "2" indicates a
mid-range ranking and the modifier "3" indicates a ranking in the lower end of
the category.

Short-Term Ratings - Taxable Debt

These ratings apply to the ability of issuers to repay punctually senior debt
obligations having an original maturity not exceeding one year:

Prime-1: Issuer has a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term
debt obligations.

Prime-2: Issuer has a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt
obligations. Earnings trends and coverage, while sound, may be subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Prime-3: Issuer has an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term
obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions may
be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in
changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require relatively
high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.

Not Prime: Issuer does not fall within any Prime rating category.

Standard & Poor's Rating Services
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long-Term Credit Ratings

AAA: Bonds rated "AAA" have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is
extremely strong.

AA: Bonds rated "AA" differ from the highest rated obligations only in small
degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation is very strong.

A: Bonds rated "A" are somewhat more susceptible to adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated
categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation is still strong.

BBB: Bonds rated BBB exhibit adequate protection parameters. However, adverse
economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation.

Bonds rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C are regarded as having significant speculative
characteristics. BB indicates the least degree of speculation and C the highest.
While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective
characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major
exposures to adverse conditions.

BB: Bonds rated BB are less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative
issues. However, these face major uncertainties or exposure to adverse business,
financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor's inadequate
capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

B: A bond rated B is more vulnerable to nonpayment than an obligation rated BB,
but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation.

CCC: A bond rated CCC is currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and is dependent
upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse
business, financial or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have
the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

CC: An obligation rated CC is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C: The C rating may used where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or similar
action has been taken, but payments on this obligation are being continued.

D: Bonds rated D are in default. Payments on the obligation are not being made
on the date due.

The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or
minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories. The
"r" symbol is attached to the ratings of instruments with significant noncredit
risks.

Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings

A-1: Rated in the highest category. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation is strong. Within this category, a plus (+) sign
designation indicates the issuer's capacity to meet its financial obligation is
very strong.

A-2: Obligation is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating
categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation is satisfactory.

A-3: Exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic
conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened
capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

B: Regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. The obligor
currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties which could lead to the obligor's
inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

C: Currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business,
financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation.

D: In payment default. Payments on the obligation have not been made on the due
date. The rating may also be used if a bankruptcy petition has been filed or
similar actions jeopardize payments on the obligation.

Fitch, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

International Long-Term Credit Ratings

Investment Grade:

AAA: Highest Credit Quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation of
credit risk. They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly
unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

AA: Very High Credit Quality. "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation of
credit risk. They indicate a very strong capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to
foreseeable events.

A: High Credit Quality. "A" ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk.
The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered
strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in
circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

BBB: Good Credit Quality. "BBB" ratings indicate that there is currently a
low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and
in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the
lowest investment-grade category.

Speculative Grade:

BB: Speculative. "BB" ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit
risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over
time. However, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow
financial commitments to be met. Securities rates in this category are not
investment grade.

B: Highly Speculative. "B" ratings indicate that significant credit risk is
present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are
currently being met. However, capacity for continued payment is contingent
upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

CCC, CC C: High Default Risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for
meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable
business or economic developments. A "CC" rating indicates that default of
some kind appears probable. "C" ratings signal imminent default.

DDD, DD, and D: Default. The ratings of obligations in this category are based
on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a reorganization or
liquidation of the obligor. While expected recovery values are highly
speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the following serve as
general guidelines. `DDD' obligations have the highest potential for recovery,
around 90%-100% of outstanding amounts and accrued interest. `DD' indicates
potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%, and `D' the lowest recovery
potential, i.e., below 50%.

Entities rated in this category have defaulted on some or all of their
obligations. Entities rated `DDD' have the highest prospect for resumption of
performance or continued operation with or without a formal reorganization
process. Entities rated `DD' and `D' are generally undergoing a formal
reorganization or liquidation process; those rated `DD' are likely to satisfy a
higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated `D' have a
poor prospect for repaying all obligations.

Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating symbol to denote
relative status within the major rating categories. Plus and minus signs are not
added to the "AAA" category or to categories below "CCC," nor to short-term
ratings other than "F1" (see below).

International Short-Term Credit Ratings

F1: Highest credit quality. Strongest capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. May have an added "+" to denote any exceptionally
strong credit feature.

F2: Good credit quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the
case of higher ratings.

F3: Fair credit quality. Capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments is adequate. However, near-term adverse changes could result in a
reduction to non-investment grade.

B: Speculative. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments, plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and
economic conditions.

C: High default risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting
financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business
and economic environment.

D: Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A
shares1 of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge that
may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.2 That is because
of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds Distributor,
Inc., (referred to in this document as the "Distributor"), or by dealers or
other financial institutions that offer those shares to certain classes of
investors.

Not all waivers apply to all funds. For example, waivers relating to Retirement
Plans do not apply to Oppenheimer municipal funds, because shares of those funds
are not available for purchase by or on behalf of retirement plans. Other
waivers apply only to shareholders of certain funds.

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information of the applicable Oppenheimer funds, the
term "Retirement Plan" refers to the following types of plans:
1) plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code,
2) non-qualified deferred compensation plans, 3) employee benefit
plans3,
4) Group Retirement Plans4, 5) 403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts, and
6) Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including traditional IRAs,
Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

The interpretation of these provisions as to the applicability of a special
arrangement or waiver in a particular case is in the sole discretion of the
Distributor or the transfer agent (referred to in this document as the "Transfer
Agent") of the particular Oppenheimer fund. These waivers and special
arrangements may be amended or terminated at any time by a particular fund, the
Distributor, and/or OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (referred to in this document as the
"Manager").

Waivers that apply at the time shares are redeemed must be requested by the
shareholder and/or dealer in the redemption request. I.

Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purchases of Class A Shares of Oppenheimer Funds That Are Not Subject to Initial
Sales Charge but May Be Subject to the Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
(unless a waiver applies).

There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any of
the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases may be
subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within 18
months (24 months in the case of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and
Rochester Fund Municipals) of the beginning of the calendar month of their
purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a waiver described elsewhere in
this Appendix applies to the redemption). Additionally, on shares purchased
under these waivers that are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales
charge, the Distributor will pay the applicable concession described in the
Prospectus under "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."5 This waiver
provision applies to: |_| Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or
more. |_| Purchases of Class A shares by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to
purchase such shares at net asset value but subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge prior to March 1, 2001. That included plans
(other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares
costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more
eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3)
certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan
purchases of $200,000 or more.
|_| Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored 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 those
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.
|_| Purchases of Class A shares by Retirement Plans that have any of the
following record-keeping arrangements: 1) The record keeping is
performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner &
Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") on a daily valuation basis for the
Retirement Plan. On the date the plan sponsor signs the
record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must
have $3 million or more of its assets invested in (a) mutual funds,
other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch Investment
Management, L.P. ("MLIM"), that are made available under a Service
Agreement between Merrill Lynch and the mutual fund's principal
underwriter or distributor, and (b) funds advised or managed by MLIM
(the funds described in (a) and (b) are referred to as "Applicable
Investments").
2) The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily
valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are provided under
a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill
Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record keeping service
agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more
of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market funds)
invested in Applicable Investments.
3) The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service
agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan sponsor signs
that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as
determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).

1 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible
Securities Fund. 2 In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a
continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to contingent deferred sales
charges mean the Fund's Early Withdrawal Charges and references to "redemptions"
mean "repurchases" of shares.
3 An "employee benefit plan" means any plan or arrangement, whether or not it is
"qualified" under the Internal Revenue Code, under which Class N shares of an
Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a fiduciary or other administrator
for the account of participants who are employees of a single employer or of
affiliated employers. These may include, for example, medical savings accounts,
payroll deduction plans or similar plans. The fund accounts must be registered
in the name of the fiduciary or administrator purchasing the shares for the
benefit of participants in the plan. 4 The term "Group Retirement Plan" means
any qualified or non-qualified retirement plan for employees of a corporation or
sole proprietorship, members and employees of a partnership or association or
other organized group of persons (the members of which may include other
groups), if the group has made special arrangements with the Distributor and all
members of the group participating in (or who are eligible to participate in)
the plan purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single
investment dealer, broker or other financial institution designated by the
group. Such plans include 457 plans, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and 403(b)
plans other than plans for public school employees. The term "Group Retirement
Plan" also includes qualified retirement plans and non-qualified deferred
compensation plans and IRAs that purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds
through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution that
has made special arrangements with the Distributor. 5 However, that concession
will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts of $1 million or more
(including any right of accumulation) by a Retirement Plan that pays for the
purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C shares of one or more
Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more than one year.
6 This provision does not apply to IRAs.
7 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the participant
is less than age 55, or to IRAs. 8 The distribution must be requested prior to
Plan termination or the elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment
option under the Plan. 9 This provision does not apply to IRAs.
10 This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans and
loans from the OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single K retirement plan. 11 This
provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the participant is less
than age 55, or to IRAs.
