ABOUT  THE  FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment 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, Oppenheimer Capital LLC, 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 focuses on
investments in equity securities, the value of the Fund's portfolio will be
affected by changes in the stock markets. The Fund's net asset values per
share 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 does not limit its investments to issuers in a
particular market capitalization range or ranges, although it currently
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. The stock prices of large-cap
issuers tend to be less volatile than the prices of mid-cap and small-cap
companies in the short term, but these companies may not afford the same
growth opportunities as mid-cap and small-cap 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 prices per share. Particular
investments and investment strategies have risks. The Fund is also subject to
the risk that the stocks the Sub-Advisor selects will underperform the stock
market, the relevant indices or other funds with similar investment
objectives and strategies. 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 changes in 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
for the other classes of shares will vary.

      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. 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 the 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. During the period shown in the bar
chart, the highest return (not annualized) before taxes for a calendar
quarter was ________% (___ Qtr ___) and the lowest return (not annualized)
before taxes for a calendar quarter was _______% (___ Qtr ___).

Class N Shares (inception 3/1/01)         %             %            N/A
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% (5-year); and for Class C and Class N, the 1% contingent deferred sales
charge for the 1-year period. Because Class B shares convert to Class A
shares 72 months after purchase, Class B "life-of-class" performance does not
include any contingent deferred sales charge and uses Class A performance for
the period after conversion. 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 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, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund's investments vary from
those 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,
2004.

Effective January 1, 2005 the management fee schedule is revised as described
below in "How the Fund is Managed-The Manager-The Manager's Fee." Management
Fees in the table above assumes that the revised management fee schedule,
effective January 1, 2005, was in effect for the Fund's fiscal year ended
October 31, 2004. For the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, the
actual management fees were ___% for each class of shares.
Effective January 1, 2003, the Board set 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. For the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, the
actual 12b-1 fee was 0.26% for Class A shares, With consideration given to
the actual management fees for each class of shares, and the actual 12b-1
fees for Class A shares, above, the "Total Annual Operating Expenses" were
1.56% for Class A shares, 2.43% for Class B shares, 2.43% for Class C shares,
and 1.97% for Class N shares.
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, 2004, the transfer agent fees did not
exceed the expense limitation described above for Class A shares.
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  gradually  declines from 5% to 1% in years one through
six 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.

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 N Shares           $              $             $             $

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 AND RISKS. 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
below. 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, Oppenheimer Capital LLC, to select securities for the Fund's
portfolio. The Sub-Advisor tries to reduce risks by carefully researching
securities before they are purchased. The Fund attempts to reduce its
exposure to market risks by diversifying its investments, that is, by not
holding a substantial amount of stock of any one company and by not investing
too great a percentage of the Fund's assets in any one company. Also, the
Fund does not concentrate 25% or more of its assets in 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.

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 credit 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.

o     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.

o     Interest Rate Risk. The values of debt securities are subject to change
      when prevailing interest rates change. When prevailing interest rates
      fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. When
      prevailing 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.

Other Equity Securities. While the Fund emphasizes investments in common
     stocks, it can also buy preferred stocks and securities convertible into
     common stock. 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 Sub-Advisor's investment decision
     than in the case of other debt 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. Restricted
      securities may have terms that limit their resale to other investors or
      may require registration under applicable securities laws before they
      may be sold publicly. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net
      assets in illiquid or restricted securities. The Board can increase
      that limit to 15%. 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
      investment 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 may also experience losses if the prices of
      its hedging instruments were not correlated with its other investments
      or if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid market.

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.  Increased  portfolio turnover
      creates  higher  brokerage and  transaction  costs for the Fund (and may
      reduce  performance).  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 and Interim 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 high-quality, short-term money market
      instruments, such as U.S. government securities, highly rated
      commercial paper, short-term corporate debt obligations, bank deposits
      or repurchase agreements. The Fund could also hold these types of
      securities pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund
      shares or portfolio securities or to meet anticipated redemptions of
      Fund shares. To the extent the Fund invests defensively in these
      securities, it might not achieve its investment objective of capital
      appreciation.


Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund has entered into a Securities Lending
        Agreement with JP Morgan Chase. Under that agreement portfolio
        securities of the Fund may be loaned to brokers, dealers and other
        financial institutions. The Securities Lending Agreement provides
        that loans must be adequately collateralized and may be made only in
        conformity with the Fund's Securities Lending Guidelines, adopted by
        the Fund's Board of Directors. The value of the securities loaned may
        not exceed 25% of the value of the Fund's net assets.

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS. The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in the
semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to shareholders of the
Fund within 60 days after the close of the period for which such report is
being made. The Fund also makes disclosures of the portfolio securities
holdings in Statement of Investments under Form N-Q, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") no later than 60 days after
the close of the first and third fiscal quarters. These additional quarterly
filings are publicly available at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC. Therefore, portfolio holdings of the Fund are made publicly available
no later than 60 days after the close of the Fund's fiscal quarter.

      A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the
disclosure of the Fund's portfolio securities is available in the Fund's
Statement of Additional Information.


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 $___
billion of assets as of December 31, 2004, including other Oppenheimer funds
with more than ____ million shareholder accounts. The Manager is located at
Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New
York 10281-1008.

The Manager's Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, effective
      January 1, 2005, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual
      rate that declines as the Fund's assets grow: 0.85% of the first $400
      million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.80% of the next
      $400 million, 0.75% of the next $400 million, 0.65% of the next $400
      million, 0.60% of the next $400 million and 0.50% of average annual net
      assets in excess of $2 billion. From January 1, 2004 through December
      31, 2004, the annual advisory fee rate was: 0.90% of the first $400
      million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.85% of the next
      $400 million, 0.80% of the next $400 million, 0.70% of the next $400
      million, 0.65% of the next $400 million and 0.60% of average annual net
      assets in excess of $2 billion. From June 15, 2003 through December 31,
      2003, the annual advisory fee rate was: 0.90% of the first $400 million
      of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.85% of the next $600
      million, 0.80% of the next $2 billion, 0.70% of the next $1 billion,
      0.65% of the next $1 billion and 0.60% of average annual net assets in
      excess of $5 billion. The Fund's management fee for its last fiscal
      year ended October 31, 2004 was ___% of average annual net assets for
      each class of shares.

The Sub-Advisor. Effective January 1. 2005, Oppenheimer Capital LLP replaces
      OpCap Advisors as the Fund's Sub-Advisor, and assumes its
      responsibility for providing day-to-day portfolio management for the
      Fund. Oppenheimer Capital LLP is the parent company of OpCap Advisors.
      From the Fund's inception on April 30, 1980 until February 26, 1997,
      OpCap Advisors (which was then named Quest for Value Advisors) served
      as the Fund's investment advisor. On February 28, 1997, the Manager
      retained OpCap Advisors to continue providing day-to-day portfolio
      management for the Fund.

      The Sub-Advisor has operated as an investment advisor to investment
      companies and other investors since its organization. As of September
      30, 2004, the Sub-Advisor, advised accounts having assets in excess of
      $__ 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 Allianz Dresdner Asset Management
      U.S. Equities LLC, a subsidiary of 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 the Sub-Advisor.


Portfolio Manager. The portfolio manager of the Fund is Louis P. Goldstein,
      who is a Managing Director of the Sub-Advisor. He is the person
      primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's
      portfolio. He has been the Fund's portfolio manager since February
      1999, prior to which he was a MidCap portfolio manager of the
      Sub-Advisor.

PENDING LITIGATION. Six law suits have been filed as putative derivative and
class actions against the Fund's investment Manager, Distributor and Transfer
Agent, some of the Oppenheimer funds including the Fund, and Directors or
Trustees of some of those funds, excluding those of the Fund. The complaints
allege that the Manager charged excessive fees for distribution and other
costs, improperly used assets of the funds in the form of directed brokerage
commissions and 12b-1 fees to pay brokers to promote sales of Oppenheimer
funds, and failed to properly disclose the use of fund assets to make those
payments in violation of the Investment Company Act and the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940. The complaints further allege that by permitting and/or
participating in those actions, the defendant Directors breached their
fiduciary duties to fund shareholders under the Investment Company Act and at
common law. Those law suits were filed on August 31, 2004, September 3, 2004,
September 14, 2004, September 14, 2004, September 21, 2004 and September 22,
2004, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. By
order dated October 27, 2004, these six actions, and future related actions,
were consolidated by the District Court into a single consolidated proceeding
in contemplation of the filing of a superceding consolidated and amended
complaint. The present complaints seek unspecified compensatory and punitive
damages, rescission of the funds' investment advisory agreements, an
accounting of all fees paid, and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation
expenses.

      The Manager and the Distributor believe the claims asserted in these
law suits to be without merit, and intend to defend the suits vigorously. The
Manager and the Distributor do not believe that the pending actions are
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or on their ability to
perform their respective investment advisory or distribution agreements with
the Fund.


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.


Buying Shares 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. A broker or dealer may charge for that service.

Buying Shares 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 (the "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 for a class of shares on a "regular
      business day" is determined by dividing the value of the Fund's net
      assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of that class
      outstanding on that day. To determine net asset values, the Fund assets
      are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations. If
      market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately
      reflect fair value for a security (in the Manager's judgment) or if a
      security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after
      the close of the Exchange or market on which the security is
      principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that
      the Board of Directors believes accurately reflects the fair value.
      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.

      The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has
      delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations
      to the Manager's Valuation Committee. Fair value determinations by the
      Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board
      at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.
      In determining whether current market prices are readily available and
      reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the
      ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities for
      significant events that it believes in good faith will affect the
      market prices of the securities of issuers held by the Fund. Those may
      include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in
      trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the
      trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a
      foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster).

      If, after the close of the principal market on which a security held by
      the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset
      values are calculated that day, a significant event occurs that the
      Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will
      cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing
      price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded,
      the Manager will use its best judgment to determine a fair value for
      that security.

      The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by
      volatility that occurs in U.S. markets on a trading day after the close
      of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair valuation procedures
      therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be
      "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

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 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.


Buying Through a Dealer. If you buy shares through a dealer, your dealer must
      receive the order by the close of the 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 most likely invest in 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.


      If you 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 $100,000 or more of Class B shares or $1 million or
      more of Class C shares from a single investor. Dealers or other
      financial intermediaries purchasing shares for their customers in
      omnibus accounts are responsible for compliance with those limits.


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.

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.

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:

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

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.

Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges?  You and your spouse may be eligible to
buy Class A shares of the Fund at reduced sales charge rates set forth in the
table above under the Fund's "Right of Accumulation" or a "Letter of Intent."
The Fund reserves the right to modify or to cease offering these programs at
any time.
o     Right of Accumulation. To reduce the Class A front-end sales charge
         under the rates in the table above that apply to larger purchases,
         you can add to the amount of your current purchase the value of
         investments currently being made by you and your spouse (or
         previously made by you and your spouse and still held) in Class A
         and Class B shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds (a list
         is in the Statement of Additional Information under "How to Buy
         Shares - The Oppenheimer Funds"). You may not include Class A shares
         of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves
         on which you did not pay a sales charge for this purpose. In
         totaling your holdings, you may count shares held in your individual
         accounts (including IRAs and 403(b) plans), your joint accounts with
         your spouse, or accounts you or your spouse hold as trustees or
         custodians on behalf of your children who are minors. A fiduciary
         can count all shares purchased for a trust, estate or other
         fiduciary account (including employee benefit plans for the same
         employer) that has multiple accounts. To qualify for this Right of
         Accumulation, if you are buying shares directly from the Fund you
         must inform the Fund's Distributor of your eligibility and holdings
         at the time of your purchase. If you are buying shares through your
         financial intermediary you must notify your intermediary of your
         eligibility for this Right of Accumulation at the time of your
         purchase.
         To count shares of eligible Oppenheimer funds held in accounts at
         other intermediaries under this Right of Accumulation, you may be
         requested to provide the Distributor or your current intermediary
         (depending on the way you are buying your shares) a copy of each
         account statement showing your current holdings of the Fund or other
         eligible Oppenheimer funds, including statements for accounts held
         by you and your spouse or in retirement plans or trust or custodial
         accounts for minor children as described above. The Distributor or
         intermediary through which you are buying shares will combine the
         value of all your eligible Oppenheimer fund accounts based on the
         current offering price per share to determine what Class A sales
         charge breakpoints you may qualify for on your current purchase.
o     Letters of Intent. You may also reduce the Class A front-end sales
         charge on current purchases of shares of the Fund under the rates in
         the table above by submitting a Letter of Intent to the Distributor.
         A Letter of Intent is a written statement of your intention to
         purchase Class A and/or Class B shares of the Fund (and other
         Oppenheimer funds except Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market
         Fund and Oppenheimer Cash Reserves) over a 13-month period. The
         total amount of your intended purchases of Class A and Class B
         shares will determine the reduced sales charge rate that will apply
         to Class A shares of the Fund purchased during that period. You can
         include purchases made up to 90 days before the date of the Letter.
         Submitting a Letter of Intent does not obligate you to purchase the
         specified amount of shares. You can also apply the Right of
         Accumulation to these purchases.
         If you do not complete the Letter of Intent, the front-end sales
         charge you paid on your purchases will be recalculated to reflect
         the actual value of shares you purchased. A certain portion of your
         shares will be held in escrow by the Fund's Transfer Agent for this
         purpose. Please refer to "How to Buy Shares - Letters of Intent" in
         the Fund's Statement of Additional Information for more complete
         information.

Other Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers. The Fund and the
Distributor offer other opportunities to purchase shares without front-end or
contingent deferred sales charges under the programs described below. The
Fund reserves the right to amend or discontinue these programs at any time
without prior notice.
o     Dividend Reinvestment. Dividends and/or capital gains distributions
         received by a shareholder from the Fund may be reinvested in shares
         of the Fund or any of the other Oppenheimer funds without a sales
         charge, at the net asset value per share in effect on the payable
         date. You must notify the Transfer Agent in writing to elect this
         option and must have an existing account in the fund selected for
         reinvestment.
o     Exchanges of Shares. Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of
         certain other Oppenheimer funds at net asset value per share at the
         time of exchange, without sales charge, and shares of the Fund can
         be purchased by exchange of shares of certain other Oppenheimer
         funds on the same basis. Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in
         this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional Information for
         more details, including a discussion of circumstances in which sales
         charges may apply on exchanges.
o     Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption of certain
         Class A and Class B shares, the proceeds may be reinvested in Class
         A shares of the Fund without sales charge. This privilege applies to
         redemptions of Class A shares that were subject to an initial sales
         charge or Class A or Class B shares that were subject to a
         contingent deferred sales charge when redeemed. The investor must
         ask the Transfer Agent for that privilege at the time of
         reinvestment and must identify the account from which the redemption
         was made.
o     Other Special Reductions and Waivers. The Fund and the Distributor
         offer additional arrangements to reduce or eliminate front-end sales
         charges or to waive contingent deferred sales charges for certain
         types of transactions and for certain classes of investors
         (primarily retirement plans that purchase shares in special programs
         through the Distributor). These are described in greater detail in
         Appendix C to the Statement of Additional Information, which is also
         available on the OppenheimerFunds website, at
         www.oppenheimerfunds.com (under the hyperlinks "Access Accounts and
         ------------------------
         Services - Investor Service Center"). To receive a waiver or special
         sales charge rate under these programs, the purchaser must notify
         the Distributor (or other financial intermediary through which
         shares are being purchased) at the time of purchase or notify the
         Transfer Agent with at the time of redeeming shares for those
         waivers that apply to contingent deferred sales charges.
o     Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans. There is no initial sales charge
         on purchases of Class A shares of the Fund by (1) retirement plans
         that have $10 million or more in plan assets and that have entered
         into a special agreement with the Distributor and by (2) retirement
         plans that are part of a retirement plan product or platform offered
         by banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors, insurance companies or
         record-keepers that have entered into a special agreement with the
         Distributor for this purpose. 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
         described in "Retirement Plans" in the Statement of Additional
         Information. No contingent deferred sales charge is charged upon the
         redemption of such shares.

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 on purchases of Class A shares by
      certain retirement plans that satisfied certain requirements prior to
      March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts"). However, those
      Class A shares may be subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales
      charge, as described below. Retirement plans holding shares of
      Oppenheimer funds in an  omnibus account(s) for the benefit of plan
      participants in the name of a fiduciary or financial intermediary
      (other than OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single DB Plus 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 purchases 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.

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

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.

      Class N shares are sold at net asset value without an initial sales
charge. 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.


Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for
      Class A shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its
      costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A
      shares. Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate of up to
      0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund.
      The Distributor currently uses all of those fees 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. The Distributor retains the first year's service fee paid by
      the Fund. After the shares have been held by grandfathered retirement
      accounts for a year, the Distributor pays the service fee to dealers on
      a quarterly basis.

Distribution and Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a
      Distribution and Service Plan for Class A shares. The plan also
      provides for the Fund to pay an asset-based sales charge to the
      Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average annual net assets of
      Class A shares the Fund (the Board of Directors has set that rate at
      zero). The Fund 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 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.
      Prior to January 1, 2003, the Fund paid the Distributor an annual
      asset-based sales charge equal to 0.15% of average annual net assets
      representing Class A shares purchased before September 1, 1993, and
      0.10% of average annual net assets representing Class A shares
      purchased on or after that date. The Distributor paid the entire
      asset-based sales charge to brokers.

      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. The Distributor
      retains the first year's service fee paid by the Fund. After the shares
      have been held by grandfathered retirement accounts 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 normally 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 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 normally 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.
      The Distributor normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class
      C shares during the first year after the purchase of Class C shares.
      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
      normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class N shares. See
      the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

      Under certain circumstances, the Distributor will pay the full Class B,
      Class C or Class N asset-based sales charge and the service fee to the
      dealer beginning in the first year after purchase of such shares in
      lieu of paying the dealer the sales concession and the advance of the
      first year's service fee at the time of purchase, if there is a special
      agreement between the dealer and the Distributor. In those
      circumstances, the sales concession will not be paid to the dealer.

      For Class C shares purchased through the OppenheimerFunds Recordkeeper
      Pro program, the Distributor will pay the Class C asset-based sales
      charge to the dealer of record in the first year after the purchase of
      such shares in lieu of paying the dealer a sales concession at the time
      of purchase. The Distributor will use the service fee it receives from
      the Fund on those shares to reimburse FASCorp for providing personal
      services to the Class C accounts holding those shares.

      In addition, the Manager and the Distributor may make substantial
      payments to dealers or other financial intermediaries and service
      providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities, out
      of their own resources, including the profits from the advisory fees
      the Manager receives from the Fund. Some of these distribution-related
      payments may be made to dealers or financial intermediaries for
      marketing, promotional or related expenses; these payments are often
      referred to as "revenue sharing."  In some circumstances, those types
      of payments may create an incentive for a dealer or financial
      intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the
      Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. You should ask your
      dealer or financial intermediary for more details about any such
      payments it receives.

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.


HOW DO 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.

Use the following address for            Send courier or express mail
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 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-sponsored qualified 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

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 any 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 FREQUENT PURCHASES, REDEMPTIONS AND EXCHANGES? There
are certain exchange policies you should be aware of:
   o  The interests of the Fund's shareholders and the Fund's ability to
      manage its investments may be adversely affected when its shares are
      repeatedly exchanged over the short term. When large dollar amounts are
      involved, the Fund's implementation of its investment strategies may be
      negatively affected or the Fund might have to raise or retain more cash
      than the portfolio manager would normally retain, to meet unanticipated
      redemptions. Frequent exchange activity also may force the Fund to sell
      portfolio securities at disadvantageous times to raise the cash needed
      to meet those exchange requests. These factors might hurt the Fund's
      performance.
   The Board of Trustees has adopted a policy that beginning on or about
      ________, 2005, would allow shareholders to exchange (either their full
      or partial account balance) from one fund account to another fund
      account once in any 30-day calendar period.  When shares are exchanged
      into an account, that account would be "blocked" from allowing further
      exchanges for a period of 30 calendar days from the date of the
      exchange. This block will apply to the full account balance and not
      just to the value of the amount exchanged into that account. For
      example, if a shareholder exchanged $1,000 from one fund into an
      account in another fund where the shareholder already owned shares
      worth $10,000, then following the exchange the full $11,000 in the
      account that the shares exchanged into would be blocked from exchange
      for a period of 30 calendar days.
o     A shareholder would be permitted to exchange shares from a stock or
      bond fund into a money market fund at anytime, even if the shareholder
      had exchanged shares into the stock or bond fund in the prior 30 days.
      However, all of the shares of the money market fund would then be
      blocked from further exchange for 30 calendar days from the date of the
      exchange into the money market fund.
o     Shareholders would be permitted to redeem their shares at any time
      subject to the terms of this prospectus.
o     This policy would not apply to (a) accounts held in omnibus accounts in
      the name of a broker-dealer or other financial institution, or (b)
      omnibus accounts held in the name of a retirement plan trustee or
      administrator, or (c) accounts held in the name of an insurance company
      for its separate account(s), or (d) other accounts having multiple
      underlying owners but registered in a manner such that the underlying
      beneficial owners are not identified to the transfer agent. However,
      the Transfer Agent will monitor overall purchase and redemption
      activity in those accounts to seek to identify patterns of excess
      activity that may suggest excessive purchase, redemption or exchange
      activity at the underlying owner level (for example, monitoring for
      annualized purchases and redemptions exceeding a percentage of the
      assets held in the account). The intermediary or administrator will be
      notified and asked to review account activity, and to confirm to the
      transfer agent and the fund that appropriate action has been taken to
      curtail the activity.
o     The reinvestment of dividends or distributions from one fund into
      shares of another fund and/or the conversion of Class B shares into
      Class A shares will not be counted as an exchange for purposes of
      imposing the 30 day limit.
   o  When the Transfer Agent in its discretion believes frequent
      trading activity by any person, group or account would have a
      disruptive effect on the Fund's ability to manage its
      investments, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may reject purchase
      orders and/or exchanges into the Fund. This is true even if the
      exchange activity has not exceeded the exchange policy outlined
      above. The history of frequent trading activity in all accounts
      known by the Transfer Agent to be under common ownership or
      control within the OppenheimerFunds complex may be considered by
      the Transfer Agent, with respect to the review of frequent
      trading involving this Fund as part of the Transfer Agent's
      procedures to detect and deter excessive exchange activity.
   o  There is no guarantee that the limitations described above will
      be sufficient to identify or curtail excessive trading activity.
      Additionally, there is no guarantee that the Transfer Agent will
      be able to detect frequent exchange activity conducted by the
      underlying owners of shares held in omnibus accounts, and
      therefore might not be able to effectively prevent frequent
      exchange activity in those accounts. There is no guarantee that
      the Transfer Agent's controls and procedures will be successful
      to identify investors who engage in excessive trading activity or
      to curtail that activity.
o     The Fund permits dealers or financial intermediaries to submit exchange
      requests on behalf of their customers (unless the customer has revoked
      that authority). The Manager, the Distributor and/or the Transfer Agent
      have agreements with a limited number of broker-dealers and investment
      advisers permitting them to submit exchange orders in bulk on behalf of
      their clients, provided that those broker-dealers or advisers follow
      the exchange policy as stated above and agree to certain additional
      restrictions on their exchange activity (which are more stringent than
      the restrictions that apply to other shareholders). Those restrictions
      include limitations on the funds available for exchanges, the
      requirement to give advance notice of exchanges to the Transfer Agent,
      and limits on the amount of client assets that may be invested in a
      particular fund. The Fund and its Transfer Agent may restrict or refuse
      bulk exchange requests submitted by a financial intermediary on behalf
      of a large number of accounts (including pursuant to the arrangements
      described above) if, in the Transfer Agent's judgment exercised in its
      discretion, those exchanges would be disruptive to either fund in the
      exchange transaction.
o     Shares are redeemed from one fund and are normally purchased from the
      other fund in the same transaction on the same regular business day on
      which the Transfer Agent or its agent (such as a financial intermediary
      holding the investor's shares in an omnibus account) receives an
      exchange request that conforms to the policies described above. It must
      be received by the close of the Exchange that day, which is normally
      4:00 P.M. but may be earlier on some days. The Transfer Agent may delay
      the reinvestment of the proceeds of an exchange up to seven days if it
      determines in its discretion that an earlier transmittal of the
      redemption proceeds to the receiving fund would be detrimental to the
      Fund from which the exchange is made or to the receiving fund.
   o  The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any
      time. The Fund may refuse any purchase and/or exchange order and is
      currently not obligated to provide notice before rejecting such an
      order. The Fund reserves the right to reject telephone or written
      exchange requests submitted in bulk by anyone on behalf of more than
      one account.
   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 "Minimum Balance Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a
      value of less than $500. The fee is automatically deducted from each
      applicable Fund account annually on or about the second to last
      "regular business day" of September. See the Statement of Additional
      Information (shareholders may visit the OppenheimerFunds website) to
      learn how you can avoid this fee and for circumstances under which 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.
Shares may 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. If the Fund redeems your shares in kind, you may
      bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such time as
      such securities are converted into cash.
Federal regulations may require the Fund to obtain your name, your date of
      birth (for a natural person), your residential street address or
      principal place of business and your Social Security Number, Employer
      Identification Number or other government issued identification when
      you open an account. Additional information may be required in certain
      circumstances or to open corporate accounts. The Fund or the Transfer
      Agent may use this information to attempt to verify your identity. The
      Fund may not be able to establish an account if the necessary
      information is not received. The Fund may also place limits on account
      transactions while it is in the process of attempting to verify your
      identity. Additionally, if the Fund is unable to verify your identity
      after your account is established, the Fund may be required to redeem
      your shares and close your account.
"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.


      The Fund intends each year to qualify as a "regulated investment
company" under the Internal Revenue Code, but reserves the right not to
qualify. It qualified during its last fiscal year. The Fund, as a regulated
investment company, will not be subject to Federal income taxes on any of its
income, provided that it satisfies certain income, diversification and
distribution requirements.


Avoid "Buying a Distribution." 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). This information 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 upon request.

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,
Oppenheimer Capital LLC, 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.


      o 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 may 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:

o     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.
o     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.
o     Dividend Yield is measured by dividing the annual dividend by the stock
         price per share.
o     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.

o     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.

o     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.

o     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 total 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.


o     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 ("Standard & Poor's") or Fitch,
Inc., 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.


o     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.

o     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.

o     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 Standard & Poor's or Fitch, Inc., 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 Standard & Poor's
or Fitch, Inc. 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.

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

o     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.

o     Commercial Paper. The Fund can invest in commercial paper if it is
rated within the top two rating categories of Standard & Poor's 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 Standard & Poor's 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.

o     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.

o     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.

o     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.

o     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
o           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.

o     Passive Foreign Investment Companies.  Some securities of corporations
domiciled outside the U.S. which the Fund may purchase, may be considered
passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs") under U.S. tax laws. PFICs are
those foreign corporations which generate primarily passive income. They tend
to be growth companies or "start-up" companies. For federal tax purposes, a
corporation is deemed a PFIC if 75% or more of the foreign corporation's
gross income for the income year is passive income or if 50% or more of its
assets are assets that produce or are held to produce passive income. Passive
income is further defined as any income to be considered foreign personal
holding company income within the subpart F provisions defined by IRCss.954.

      Investing in PFICs involves the risks associated with investing in
foreign securities, as described above. There are also the risks that the
Fund may not realize that a foreign corporation it invests in is a PFIC for
federal tax purposes. Federal tax laws impose severe tax penalties for
failure to properly report investment income from PFICs. Following industry
standards, the Fund makes every effort to ensure compliance with federal tax
reporting of these investments. PFICs are considered foreign securities for
the purposes of the Fund's minimum percentage requirements or limitations of
investing in foreign securities.

      Subject to the limits under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"Investment Company Act") and under its own non-fundamental policies, the
Fund may also invest in foreign mutual funds which are also deemed PFICs
(since nearly all of the income of a mutual fund is generally passive
income). Investing in these types of PFICs may allow exposure to varying
countries because some foreign countries limit, or prohibit, all direct
foreign investment in the securities of companies domiciled therein.

      In addition to bearing their proportionate share of a fund's expenses
(management fees and operating expenses), shareholders will also indirectly
bear similar expenses of such entities. Additional risks of investing in
other investment companies are described below under "Investment in Other
Investment Companies.

|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.

|X|   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
Sub-Advisor 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 in 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. 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 ("SEC"), 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.

o     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 may lend its portfolio
securities pursuant to the Securities Lending Agreement (the "Securities
Lending Agreement") with JP Morgan Chase, subject to the restrictions stated
in the Prospectus.  The Fund will lend such portfolio securities to attempt
to increase the Fund's income.  Under the Securities Lending Agreement and
applicable regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), the loan
collateral must, on each business day, be at least equal to the value of the
loaned securities and must consist of cash, bank letters of credit or
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 to JP
Morgan Chase, as agent, amounts demanded by the Fund if the demand meets the
terms of the letter.  Such terms of the letter of credit and the issuing bank
must be satisfactory to JP Morgan Chase and the Fund.  The Fund will receive,
pursuant to the Securities Lending Agreement, 80% of all annual net income
(i.e., net of rebates to the Borrower) from securities lending transactions.
JP Morgan Chase has agreed, in general, to guarantee the obligations of
borrowers to return loaned securities and to be responsible for expenses
relating to securities lending.  The Fund will be responsible, however, for
risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including the risk
that the issuer of the security in which the cash collateral has been
invested defaults.  The Securities Lending Agreement may be terminated by
either JP Morgan Chase or the Fund on 30 days' written notice.  The terms of
the Fund's loans must also meet applicable tests under the Internal Revenue
Code and permit the Fund to reacquire loaned securities on five business
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.

o     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:
o     sell futures contracts,
o     buy puts on such futures or on securities, or
o     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:
o     buy futures, or
o     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.

o     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"), (3) an
individual stock ("single stock futures") and (4) 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.

      A single stock future obligates the seller to deliver (and the
purchaser to take) cash or a specified equity security to settle the futures
transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting contract to
close out the position.  Single stock futures trade on a very limited number
of exchanges, with contracts typically not fungible among the exchanges.

      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.

o     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.

o     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 identifying 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 bank, or a securities depository acting for the
custodian bank, 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 identifying an
equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets on the Fund's books. The Fund will
identify additional liquid assets if the value of the identified assets drops
below 100% of the current value of the future. Because of the requirement to
identify liquid assets, 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.

o     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 identified 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 identified 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.

o     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.

o     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 an
identified account) upon conversion or exchange of other foreign currency
held in its portfolio.

o     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.

o     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.


o     Regulatory Aspects of Hedging Instruments. The Commodities Futures
Trading Commission (the "CFTC") recently eliminated limitations on futures
trading by certain regulated entities including registered investment
companies and consequently registered investment companies may engage in
unlimited futures transactions and options thereon provided that the Fund
claims an exclusion from regulation as a commodity pool operator. The Fund
has claimed such an exclusion from registration as a commodity pool operator
under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA"). The Fund may use futures and
options for hedging and non-hedging purposes to the extent consistent with
its investment objective, internal risk management guidelines adopted by the
Fund's investment advisor (as they may be amended from time to time), and as
otherwise set forth in the Fund's prospectus or this Statement of Additional
Information.


      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 SEC 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.

o     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, economic or
political 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 within
            the top two rating categories 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.

Other 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:
o     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
o     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.

o     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.

o     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.

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

o     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.

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

o     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.

o     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.

o     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.

o     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.

o     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.

o     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.

o     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.

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings.  The Fund has adopted policies and
procedures concerning the dissemination by employees, officers and/or
directors of the Investment Advisor, Distributor, and Transfer Agent of
information about the portfolio securities holdings of the Funds.  These
policies are designed to assure that dissemination of non-public information
about portfolio securities is distributed for a legitimate business purpose,
and is done in a manner that (a) conforms to applicable laws and regulations
and (b) is designed to prevent that information from being used in a way that
could negatively affect the Fund's investment program or enable third parties
to use that information in a manner that is harmful to a Fund.

      Until publicly disclosed, a Fund's portfolio holdings are proprietary,
confidential business information. While recognizing the importance of
providing Fund shareholders with information about their Fund's investments
and providing portfolio information to a variety of third parties to assist
with the management, distribution and administrative process, such need for
transparency must be balanced against the risk that third parties who gain
access to a Fund's portfolio holdings information could attempt to use that
information to trade ahead of or against the Fund, which could negatively
affect the prices the Fund is able to obtain in portfolio transactions or the
availability of the portfolio securities that portfolio managers are trading
in on a Fund's behalf.

      The Investment Advisor and its subsidiaries and affiliates, employees,
officers, and directors, shall neither solicit nor accept any compensation or
other consideration (including any agreement to maintain assets in the Fund
or in other investment companies or accounts managed by the Investment
Advisor or any affiliated person of the Investment Advisor) in connection
with the disclosure a Fund's non-public portfolio holdings. The receipt of
investment advisory fees or other fees and compensation paid to the
investment Advisor and their subsidiaries pursuant to agreements approved by
the Fund's Board shall not be deemed to be "compensation" or "consideration"
for these purposes.  It is a violation of the Code of Ethics for any covered
person to release holdings in contravention of portfolio holdings disclosure
policies and procedures adopted by the Fund.

      A list of the top 20 portfolio securities holdings (based on invested
assets), listed by security or by issuer, as of the end of each month may be
disclosed to third parties (subject to the procedures below) no sooner than
15 days after month-end.  The top 20 holdings also shall be posted on the
Companies' website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com in the "Fund Profiles"
section.  Other general information about a Fund's portfolio investments,
such as portfolio composition by asset class, industry, country, currency,
credit rating or maturity, may also be posted with a 15-day lag.

     Except under special limited circumstances discussed below, month-end lists
of a Fund's complete  portfolio holdings may be disclosed no sooner than 30-days
after the relevant month-end,  subject to the procedures below. If they have not
been disclosed publicly,  they may be disclosed pursuant to special requests for
legitimate business reasons, provided that:
o    The  third-party  recipient must first submit a request for release of Fund
     portfolio holdings, explaining the business reason for the request;
o    Senior  officers  (a Senior  Vice  President  or  above) in the  Investment
     Advisor's  Portfolio  and Legal  departments  must  approve  the  completed
     request for release of Fund portfolio holdings; and
o    The  third-party  recipient  must sign the Investment  Advisor's  portfolio
     holdings  non-disclosure  agreement before receiving the data,  agreeing to
     keep confidential  information that is not publicly  available  regarding a
     Fund's  holdings and agreeing not to trade directly or indirectly  based on
     the information.

     Complete Fund portfolio holdings positions may be released to the following
categories of entities or individuals  on an ongoing  basis,  provided that such
entity or individual either (1) has signed an agreement to keep such information
confidential and not trade on the basis of such information or (2) is subject to
fiduciary  obligations,  as a member of the  Fund's  Board,  or as an  employee,
officer and/or  director of the  Investment  Advisor,  Distributor,  or Transfer
Agent,  or their  respective  legal  counsel,  not to disclose such  information
except in conformity  with these  policies and  procedures  and not to trade for
his/her personal account on the basis of such information:

o    Employees of the Fund's Investment  Advisor,  Sub-Advisor,  Distributor and
     Transfer Agent who need to have access to such  information  (as determined
     by senior officers of such entity),
o    The Fund's certified public accountants and auditors,
o    Members of the Fund's Board and the Board's legal counsel,
o     The Fund's custodian bank,
o    A proxy voting service designated by the Fund and its Board,
o    Rating/ranking organizations (such as Lipper and Morningstar),
o    Portfolio  pricing services  retained by the Investment  Advisor to provide
     portfolio security prices, and
o    Dealers,  to obtain  bids (price  quotations,  because  securities  are not
     priced by the Fund's regular pricing services).

     Portfolio  holdings  information  of a Fund may be provided,  under limited
circumstances,  to  brokers  and  dealers  or with whom the Fund  trades  and/or
entities  that  provide  investment   coverage  and/or  analytical   information
regarding the Fund's portfolio,  provided that there is a legitimate  investment
reason for  providing the  information  to the broker or dealer or other entity.
Month-end portfolio holdings information may, under this procedure,  be provided
to vendors providing research  information and/or analytics to the fund, with at
least a 15-day delay after the month end,  but in certain  cases may be provided
to a broker or analytical vendor with a 1- 2 day lag to facilitate the provision
of requested  investment  information  to the manager to facilitate a particular
trade or the  portfolio  manager's  investment  process for the Fund.  Any third
party  receiving  such  information  must  first sign the  Investment  Advisor's
portfolio holdings non-disclosure agreement as a pre-condition to receiving this
information.

     Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on individual
securities  positions  or multiple  securities)  may be provided to the entities
listed  below (1) by portfolio  traders  employed by the  Investment  Advisor in
connection  with  portfolio  trading,  and (2) by the members of the  Investment
Advisor's Security Valuation Group and Accounting Departments in connection with
portfolio pricing or other portfolio evaluation purposes:
o    Brokers and dealers in connection  with portfolio  transactions  (purchases
     and sales)
o    Brokers and dealers to obtain bids or bid and asked  prices (if  securities
     held by a Fund are not priced by the fund's regular pricing services)
o    Dealers to obtain price  quotations where the fund is not identified as the
     owner

     Portfolio holdings  information (which may include  information on a Fund's
entire  portfolio or  individual  securities  therein) may be provided by senior
officers  of the  Investment  Advisor  or  attorneys  on the legal  staff of the
Investment   Advisor,   Distributor,   or  Transfer   Agent,  in  the  following
circumstances:
o    Response to legal  process in  litigation  matters,  such as  responses  to
     subpoenas  or in class  action  matters  where  the Fund may be part of the
     plaintiff  class  (and  seeks  recovery  for  losses  on a  security)  or a
     defendant,
o    Response to  regulatory  requests for  information  (the SEC,  NASD,  state
     securities  regulators,  and/or foreign securities  authorities,  including
     without limitation  requests for information in inspections or for position
     reporting purposes),
o    To   potential   sub-advisors   of   portfolios   (but  only   pursuant  to
     confidentiality agreements),
o    To consultants for retirement  plans for plan  sponsors/discussions  at due
     diligence meetings (if entire portfolio holdings are provided,  however, it
     shall be done only pursuant to a confidentiality agreement),
o    Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions (but only pursuant
     to confidentiality agreements)

     Portfolio  managers and analysts may,  subject to the Investment  Advisor's
policies on  communications  with the press and other media,  discuss  portfolio
information  in  interviews  with members of the media,  or in due  diligence or
similar meetings with clients or prospective  purchasers of Fund shares or their
financial intermediary representatives.

     The Fund's shareholders may, under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of
liquidity  in the Fund's  portfolio  to meet  redemptions),  receive  redemption
proceeds of their Fund shares paid as pro rata shares of securities  held in the
Fund's  portfolio.  In such  circumstances,  disclosure of the Fund's  portfolio
holdings may be made to such shareholders.

     The  Chief  Compliance  Officer  of the  Fund and the  Investment  Advisor,
Distributor,  and Transfer Agent (the "CCO") shall oversee the compliance by the
Investment  Advisor,  Sub-Advisor,   Distributor,   Transfer  Agent,  and  their
personnel with these policies and procedures.  At least annually,  the CCO shall
report to the Fund Board on such  compliance  oversight and on the categories of
entities and individuals to which disclosure of portfolio  holdings of the Funds
has been made during the  preceding  year  pursuant to these  policies.  The CCO
shall  report to the Fund Board any  material  violation  of these  policies and
procedures during the previous  calendar quarter and shall make  recommendations
to the  Companies and to the Boards as to any  amendments  that the CCO believes
are  necessary  and  desirable  to  carry  out or  improve  these  policies  and
procedures.

     The   Investment   Advisor  and/or  the  Fund  have  entered  into  ongoing
arrangements to make available  information about the Fund's portfolio holdings.
One or more of the Oppenheimer funds may currently  disclose  portfolio holdings
information based on ongoing arrangements to the following parties:

[DISCLOSURE OF APPLICABLE PARTIES' NAMES TO BE INSERTED HERE]

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 or when  required to do so by the  Investment  Company Act or
other applicable law. The shareholders of the Fund's parent corporation 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 a meeting  when the  Directors  call a meeting  or upon
proper  request of  shareholders.  If the Fund's parent  corporation  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's  parent
corporation 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.

     The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee which is comprised  solely of
Independent  Directors.  The members of the Audit  Committee are Paul Y. Clinton
(Chairman),  Thomas W.  Courtney,  Robert G. Galli,  Lacy G.  Herrmann and Brian
Wruble.  The Audit  Committee  met 4 times  during the Fund's  fiscal year ended
October 31, 2004. The Audit Committee  furnishes 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's  functions  include selecting and nominating,  to the
full Board,  nominees for election as Directors  and  selecting  and  nominating
Independent  Directors  for  election.  The Audit  Committee  may, but need not,
consider  the advice and  recommendation  of the Manager and its  affiliates  in
selecting  nominees.  The full  Board  elects  new  Directors  except  for those
instances when a shareholder vote is required.

     To date,  the Committee has been able to identify from its own resources an
ample number of qualified candidates. Nonetheless, shareholders may submit names
of individuals,  accompanies by complete and properly supported resumes, for the
Audit Committee's  consideration by mailing such information to the Committee in
care of the Fund.  The  Committee  may consider  such persons at such time as it
meets to consider  possible  nominees.  The  Committee,  however,  reserves sole
discretion to -determine  the  candidates to present to the Board and/or
shareholders  when it meets for the purpose of considering potential nominees.

Directors  and Officers of the Fund.  Each of the  Directors is an  "Independent
Director"  under 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"):

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

     In  addition  to being a trustee or  director  of the Board III Funds,  Mr.
Galli  is  also  a  director   or  trustee  of  25  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 are
waived for that group because of the economies of sales efforts  realized by the
Distributor.

Messrs. Murphy, Vottiero,  Wixted, Petersen, Miao, Gillespie,  Vandehey and Zack
and Mses.  Bloomberg 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  ____________,  2005,  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 their immediate family
members) do not own securities of either 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

funds, PIMCO Advisors VIT (formerly OCC Accumulation Trust) and OCC Cash
Reserves, Inc. in accordance with the instructions for Form N-1A.  The
Manager does not consider PIMCO Advisors VIT and OCC Cash Reserves, Inc. to
be part of the OppenheimerFunds "Fund Complex" as that term may be otherwise
interpreted


|X|   Retirement Plan for Directors. The Fund has adopted a retirement plan
that provides for payments to retired Directors. Payments are up to 80% of
the average compensation paid during a Director's five years of service in
which the highest compensation was received. A Director must serve as a
director for any of the Board III Funds for at least seven years in order to
be eligible for retirement plan benefits and must serve for at least 15 years
to be eligible for the maximum benefit. Each Director's retirement benefits
will depend on the amount of the Director's future compensation and length of
service.

|X|   Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors. The Board of Directors has
adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan for disinterested Directors that enables
them to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they
are entitled to receive from the Fund. Under the plan, the compensation
deferred by a Director is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent
amount had been invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected
by the Director. The amount paid to the Director under the plan is determined
based upon the performance of the selected funds.

      Deferral of Directors' fees under the plan will not materially affect
the Fund's assets, liabilities or net income per share. The plan will not
obligate the Fund to retain the services of any Director or to pay any
particular level of compensation to any Director. Pursuant to an Order issued
by the SEC, the Fund may invest in the funds selected by the Director under
the plan without shareholder approval for the limited purpose of determining
the value of the Director's deferred fee account.


|X|   Major Shareholders.  As of _____________, 2005 the only persons who
owned of record or were known by the Fund to own beneficially 5% or more of
any class of the Fund's outstanding shares and their holdings of those
classes as of that date were:

      [to be provided]



The Manager. The Manager is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a
holding company controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, a
global, diversified insurance and financial services organization. The
Manager became the Fund's investment advisor on February 28, 1997.

|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 SEC 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 duplicating
           -----------
fee, by electronic request at the following E-mail address:

Washington, D.C. 20549-0102.


|X|   Portfolio Proxy Voting.  The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting
Policies and Procedures under which the Fund votes proxies relating to
securities ("portfolio proxies") held by the Fund. The Fund's primary
consideration in voting portfolio proxies is the financial interests of the
Fund and its shareholders. The Fund has retained an unaffiliated third-party
as its agent to vote portfolio proxies in accordance with the Fund's
Portfolio Proxy Voting Guidelines and to maintain records of such portfolio
proxy voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines include provisions to address
conflicts of interest that may arise between the Fund and OFI where an OFI
directly-controlled affiliate manages or administers the assets of a pension
plan of a company soliciting the proxy. The Fund's Portfolio Proxy Voting
Guidelines on routine and non-routine proxy proposals are summarized below.

o     The Fund votes with the recommendation of the issuer's management on
            routine matters, including election of directors nominated by
            management and ratification of auditors, unless circumstances indicate
            otherwise.
o     In general, the Fund opposes anti-takeover proposals and supports
            elimination of anti-takeover proposals, absent unusual circumstances.
o     The Fund supports shareholder proposals to reduce a super-majority vote
            requirement, and opposes management proposals to add a super-majority
            vote requirement.
o     The Fund opposes proposals to classify the board of directors.
o     The Fund supports proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.
o     The Fund opposes re-pricing of stock options.
o     The Fund generally considers executive compensation questions such as
            stock option plans and bonus plans to be ordinary business activity.
            The Fund analyzes stock option plans, paying particular attention to
            their dilutive effect. While the Fund generally supports management
            proposals, the Fund opposes plans it considers to be excessive.


      The Fund will be required to file new Form N-PX, with its complete
proxy voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August
31st of each year. The Fund's Form N-PX filing is available (i) without
charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.525.7048 and
(ii) on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
                             -----------

|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 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 advisers to obtain
specialized services for the Fund, as long as the Fund is not obligated to
pay any additional fees for those services. If 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 Fund pays expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the
advisory agreement. The investment 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 certain 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 were:

1.  The Manager, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Advisor an annual sub-advisory
fee. For fiscal years ended 2002, 2003 and 2004 this sub-advisory fee was
$892,561, $858,498 and $_______, respectively.


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


      |X|   Annual Approval of Investment Advisory 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 sub-advisory agreement. The Investment Company Act
requires that the Board request and evaluate the Manager and Sub-Advisor and
provide such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms
of the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements.  The Board employs an
independent consultant to prepare a report that provides such information as
the Board requests for this purpose.

      The Board also receives information about the 12b-1 distribution fees
the Fund pays.  These distribution fees are reviewed and approved at a
different time of the year.

      The Board reviewed the foregoing information in arriving at its
decision to renew the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements.  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

            and Sub-Advisor;

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 received
            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 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 Sub-Advisor is important so that the
Manager and Sub-Advisor 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 concluded that it was in the best
interest of shareholders to continue the investment advisory and sub-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 agreements, including the
investment advisory fees, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
After deliberating the Board approved the following fee schedule: effective
January 1, 2005, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate
that declines as the Fund's assets grow: 0.85% of the first $400 million of
average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.80% of the next $400 million, 0.75%
of the next $400 million, 0.65% of the next $400 million, 0.60% of the next
$400 million and 0.50% of average annual net assets in excess of $2 billion.
From January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004, the annual advisory fee rate
was: 0.90% of the first $400 million of average annual net assets of the
Fund, 0.85% of the next $400 million, 0.80% of the next $400 million, 0.70%
of the next $400 million, 0.65% of the next $400 million and 0.60% of average
annual net assets in excess of $2 billion.

The Sub-Advisor. As of January 1, 2005, the Fund's Sub-Advisor is Oppenheimer
Capital LLC, a registered investment advisor. The Sub-Advisor is a Delaware

      The Sub-Advisor has operated as an investment advisor to investment
companies and other investors since its organization in 1969. As of September
30, 2004, the Sub-Advisor advised accounts having assets in excess of $22
billion. The Sub-Advisor is located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 49th
Floor, New York, New York 10105-4800.

      Prior to January 1, 2005, the Fund's Sub-Advisor was OpCap Advisors
("OpCap"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sub-Advisor. From the Fund's
inception on April 30, 1980 until February 28, 1997, OpCap (which was then
named Quest for Value Advisors) served as the Fund's investment advisor. On
February 28, 1997, the Manager retained OpCap to provide day-to-day portfolio
management for the Fund.


|X|   The Sub-Advisor's Code of Ethics. Each employee of the Sub-Advisor is
subject to a Code of Ethics which has been adopted by the Sub-Advisor to
comply with the provisions of Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act.
The Codes of Ethics are designed to detect and prevent improper personal
trading. The Codes of Ethics permit personnel subject to the Codes to invest
in securities, including securities that may be purchased, sold or held by
the Fund, subject to a number of restrictions and controls including
prohibitions against purchases of securities in an Initial Public Offering
and a preclearance requirement with respect to certain personal securities
transactions.

|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 the Manager thinks, in its 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.

      Under the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements, in choosing
brokers to execute portfolio transactions for the Fund, the Manager and
Sub-Adviser may select brokers (other than affiliates) that provide brokerage
and/or research services to the Fund and/or the other accounts over which the
Manager or its affiliates have investment discretion.  The concessions paid
to those brokers may be higher than another qualified broker would charge, if
the Manager or Sub-Adviser makes a good faith determination that the
concession is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided.

      Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act prohibits (effective
December 13, 2004) any fund from compensating a broker or dealer for
promoting or selling the fund's shares by (1) directing to that broker or
dealer any of the fund's portfolio transactions, or (2) directing any other
remuneration to that broker or dealer, such as commissions, mark-ups, mark
downs or other fees from the fund's portfolio transactions, that were
effected by another broker or dealer (these latter arrangements are
considered to be a type of "step-out" transaction). In other words, a fund
and its investment advisor cannot use the fund's brokerage for the purpose of
rewarding broker-dealers for selling the fund's shares. However, the Rule
permits funds to effect brokerage transactions through firms that also sell
fund shares, provided that certain procedures are adopted to prevent a quid
pro quo with respect to portfolio brokerage allocations. As permitted by the
Rule, the Manager has adopted procedures (and the Fund's Board of Directors
has approved those procedures) that permit the Fund to direct portfolio
securities transactions to brokers or dealers that also promote or sell
shares of the Fund, subject to the "best execution" considerations discussed
above. Those procedures are designed to prevent: (1) the Manager's and the
Sub-Advisor's personnel who effect the Fund's portfolio transactions from
taking into account a broker's or dealer's promotion or sales of the Fund
shares when allocating the Fund's portfolio transactions, and (2) the Fund,
the Manager, the Sub-Advisor and the Distributor from entering into
agreements or understandings under which the Manager directs or is expected
to direct the Fund's brokerage directly, or through a "step-out" arrangement,
to any broker or dealer in consideration of that broker's or dealer's
promotion or sale of the Fund's shares or the shares of any of the other
Oppenheimer funds.

      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 commission is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided.

      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 who pay third
parties that provide services. Any such "soft-dollar" arrangements will be
made in accordance with policies adopted by the Board of the Trust 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 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 and the contingent deferred sales charges
retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares during the Fund's

Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class
A shares and Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N
shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act. Under those plans the
Fund pays 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 Independent Directors1, 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.  In their sole discretion, they may also from time to time make
substantial payments from their own resources, which include the profits the
Manager derives from the advisory fees it receives from the Fund, to
compensate brokers, dealers, financial institutions and other intermediaries
for providing distribution assistance and/or administrative services or that
otherwise promote sales of the Fund's shares.  These payments, some of which
may be referred to as "revenue sharing," may relate to the Fund's inclusion
on a financial intermediary's preferred list of funds offered to its clients.

      Financial intermediaries, brokers and dealers may receive other
payments from the Distributor or the Manager from their own resources in
connection with the promotion and/or sale of shares of the Fund, including
payments to defray expenses incurred in connection with educational seminars
and meetings.  The Manager or Distributor may share expenses incurred by
financial intermediaries in conducting training and educational meetings
about aspects of the Fund for employees of the intermediaries or for hosting
client seminars or meetings at which the Fund is discussed.  In their sole
discretion, the Manager and/or the Distributor may increase or decrease the
amount of payments they make from their own resources for these purposes.


      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 72 months after purchase, the Fund
must obtain the approval of both Class A and Class B shareholders for a
proposed material amendment to the Class A the plan that would materially
increase payments under the plan. That approval must be by a "majority" 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 plans 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|   Class A Service Plan Fees. Under the Class A service plan, the
Distributor currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers,
dealers and other financial institutions for personal services and account
maintenance services they provide for their customers who hold Class A
shares. 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 Class A service
plan permits compensation to the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of
average annual net assets of Class A shares. The Distributor does not receive
or retain the service fee on Class A shares in accounts for which the
Distributor has been listed as the broker-dealer of record. The Board of
Directors has set that rate. While the 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, except in the case of the special arrangement
described below, regarding grandfathered retirement accounts. The Distributor
makes payments to plan recipients quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed
0.25% of the average annual net assets consisting of Class A shares held in
the accounts of the recipients or their customers.

      Under the Class A distribution plan, the plan provides for the Fund to
pay an asset-based sales charge to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25%
of average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. Effective January
1, 2003, the Board set that rate to zero. Prior to that date, the Fund paid
the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge equal to 0.15% of average
annual net assets representing Class A shares purchased before September 1,
1993, and 0.10% of average annual net assets representing Class A shares
purchased on or after that date. The Distributor paid the entire asset-based
sales charge to brokers, dealers and financial institutions.


      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. During the first year the shares
are sold, the Distributor retains the service fee to reimburse itself for the
costs of distributing the shares. 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 accounts 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.


      For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 payments under the Class A
distribution and service plan totaled $________, of which $_________ was
service fee payments retained by the Distributor in connection with the
grandfathered retirement accounts, described above, and included $________
paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's parent company. In addition, no
fees were retained for the asset-based sales charge, as allowed under the
plan prior to January 1, 2003. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor
incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered
in subsequent years. The Distributor may not use payments received under the
Class A plan to pay any of its interest expenses, carrying charges, or other
financial costs, or allocation of overhead.


|X|   Class B, Class C and Class N Distribution and Service Plan Fees. Under
 each plan, distribution and service 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. Each plan provides for
 the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the Distributor's
 distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund
 under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid. The types of
 services that recipients provide are similar to the services provided under
 the Class A service plan, described above.


      Each plan permits 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 service fee to recipients in advance for the
first year after Class B, Class C and Class N shares are purchased. After the
first year Class B, Class C or Class N shares are outstanding, after their
purchase, 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 Class B, Class C or Class N 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. Class B, Class C or Class N
shares may not be purchased by an investor directly from the Distributor
without the investor designating another broker-dealer of record.  If the
investor no longer has another broker-dealer of record for an existing
account, the Distributor is automatically designated as the broker-dealer of
record, but solely for the purpose of acting as the investor's agent to
purchase the shares.  In those cases, the Distributor retains the asset-based
sales charge paid on Class B, Class C and Class N shares, but does not retain
any service fees as to the assets represented by that account.

      The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and
Class C expenses by 1.00% and the asset-based sales charge and service fees
increase Class N expenses by 0.50% of the net assets per year of the
respective classes.


      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 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 B, Class C or Class
N service fee and the asset-based sales charge to the dealer quarterly in
lieu of paying the sales concession and service fee in advance at the time of
purchase.

      The asset-based sales charge 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 charge to the Distributor for its services rendered in
distributing 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 Class B, Class C and Class
         N 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 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
         charge 12b-1 fees,
o     may use the payments 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 a 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.

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

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 SEC. 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.

      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:
o     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.

o     The Fund's performance returns do not reflect the effect of taxes on
           dividends and capital gains distributions.

o     An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other
           government agency.

o     The principal value of the Fund's shares, and total returns are not
           guaranteed and normally will fluctuate on a daily basis.

o     When an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less
           than their original cost.
o     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 those
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" in the formula below) (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 1.0%
contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year
period. For Class N shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge is
deducted for returns for the one-year period, and total returns for the
periods prior to 03/01/01 (the inception date for Class N shares) are based
on the Fund's Class A returns, adjusted to reflect the higher Class N 12b-1
fees.


      |X|   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:

ERV   l/n - 1  Average Annual Total
               Return
  P

o     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:

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


o     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 Distributions
- ---
l/n              and Redemptions)
  P

o     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:

 ERV - P   = Total Return
- -----------
    P

o     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").  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 in categories based on
investment styles. 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 of 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.


ABOUT your account

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.


      When you purchase shares of the Fund, your ownership interest in the
shares of the Fund will be recorded as a book entry on the records of the
Fund.  The Fund will not issue or re-register physical share certificates.

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.
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.

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

Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust    Centennial Tax Exempt Trust
      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.
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 ("Letter"), 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 do not consider Class C or Class N shares you purchase or may
have purchased.

      A Letter 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
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
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. 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.

      If the total eligible purchases made during the Letter 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 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.  If the intended  purchase  amount under a Letter
entered into by an OppenheimerFunds  prototype 401(k) plan is not purchased by
the plan by the end of the  Letter  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 period
will be deducted. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the
investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter when placing any purchase
orders for the investor during the Letter 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 period, the escrowed shares will be
promptly released to the investor.

      3. If, at the end of the 13-month Letter 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,
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 charges or at reduced sales charge rates, as
described in an Appendix 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 $1 million in assets invested in
applicable investments (other than assets invested in money market funds),
then the retirement plan may purchase only Class C shares of the Oppenheimer
funds.  If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record
keeping service agreement the plan has $1 million or more in assets but less
than $5 million in assets invested in applicable investments (other than
assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase
only Class N shares of the Oppenheimer funds.  If on the date the plan
sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement the plan
has $5 million or more in assets invested in applicable investments (other
than assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may
purchase only Class A shares of the Oppenheimer funds.


      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 a purchase order of $100,000 or more
for Class B shares or a purchase order of $1 million or more to purchase
Class C shares on behalf of a single investor (not including dealer "street
name" or omnibus accounts).


|X|   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 72 months after purchase 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, and
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).


Fund Account Fees. As stated in the Prospectus, a $12 annual "Minimum Balance
Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a share balance valued under $500.
The Minimum Balance Fee is automatically deducted from each such Fund account
on or about the second to last business day of September.

      Listed below are certain cases in which the Fund has elected, in its
discretion, not to assess the Fund Account Fees.  These exceptions are
subject to change:
      A fund account whose shares were acquired after September 30th of the
         prior year;
o     A fund account that has a balance below $500 due to the automatic
         conversion of shares from Class B to Class A shares. However, once
         all Class B shares held in the account have been converted to Class
         A shares the new account balance may become subject to the Minimum
         Balance Fee;
o     Accounts of shareholders who elect to access their account documents
         electronically via eDoc Direct;
o     A fund account that has only certificated shares and, has a balance
         below $500 and is being escheated;
o     Accounts of shareholders that are held by broker-dealers under the NSCC
         Fund/SERV system;
o     Accounts held under the Oppenheimer Legacy Program and/or holding
         certain Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds;
o     Omnibus accounts holding shares pursuant to the Pinnacle, Ascender,
         Custom Plus, Recordkeeper Pro and Pension Alliance Retirement Plan
         programs; and
o     A fund account that falls below the $500 minimum solely due to market
         fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the fee
         is deducted.

      The Fund reserves the authority to modify Fund Account Fees in its
discretion.


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 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, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' 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(R), 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(R), 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(R)on
the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the
principal exchange or on Nasdaq(R)on the valuation date. If the put, call or
future is not traded on an exchange or on Nasdaq(R), 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 or 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
"Trustee, 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.

|X|   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.

      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.

      Y shares.

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  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 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.
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (8/5/2010).
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund II may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund II until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (2/4/2011).

o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund III may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund III until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (12/6/2011).


      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 (other than Limited-Term Government
Fund, Limited Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund,
Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund and Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate
Fund), 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 B shares of Limited-Term Government Fund, Limited
Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund, Oppenheimer
Capital Preservation Fund and Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, the
Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B shares
acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 5 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.

|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.

|X|   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 feature 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
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.


      |X| 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.


      |X| 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.

      |X| 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 28% 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). Any tax withheld by the
Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax
withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of each
year.

      |X| 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.


      |X| 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. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S.
Treasury and all income and any tax withheld 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 28% 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 Registered Public Accounting Firm. KPMG LLP served as an
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to the Fund. KPMG LLP audits
the Fund's financial statements and performs other related audit services.
KPMG LLP also act as the independent registered public accounting firm for
certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates. Audit and
non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP to the Fund must be pre-approved by
the Audit Committee.

                             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. ("Moody's")

LONG-TERM RATINGS: BONDS AND PREFERRED STOCK ISSUER RATINGS

Aaa: Bonds and preferred stock 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 and preferred stock 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 risk appear
somewhat larger than that of "Aaa" securities.

A: Bonds and preferred stock 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 some
time in the future.

Baa: Bonds and preferred stock 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 and preferred stock 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
thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future.
Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B: Bonds and preferred stock rated "B" generally lack characteristics of the
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 and preferred stock rated "Caa" are of poor standing. Such issues
may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to
principal or interest.

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

C:  Bonds and preferred stock 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 generic rating category; the
modifier "2" indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates a
ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Advanced refunded
issues that are secured by certain assets are identified with a # symbol.

PRIME RATING SYSTEM (SHORT-TERM RATINGS - TAXABLE DEBT)
These ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to honor senior
financial obligations and contracts. Such obligations generally have an
original maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

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 ratios, while sound, may be more
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 Ratings Services ("Standard & Poor's"), a division of The
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

LONG-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Issue credit ratings are based in varying degrees, on the following
considerations:
o     Likelihood of payment-capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet
      its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms
      of the obligation;
o     Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and
o     Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the
      event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the
      laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.
   The issue ratings definitions are expressed in terms of default risk. As
such, they pertain to senior obligations of an entity. Junior obligations are
typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority
in bankruptcy, as noted above.

AAA: An obligation  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: An obligation  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: An  obligation  rated "A" are  somewhat  more  susceptible  to the  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:  An  obligation  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.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C
An obligation 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: An obligation  rated "BB" are less  vulnerable  to  nonpayment  than other
speculative  issues.   However,  they  face  major  ongoing  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: An obligation  rated "B" are more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations
rated "BB",  but the obligor  currently has the capacity to meet its financial
commitment  on  the  obligation.  Adverse  business,  financial,  or  economic
conditions  will likely impair the obligor's  capacity or  willingness to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation.

CCC: An obligation  rated "CCC" are currently  vulnerable to  nonpayment,  and
are 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" are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C:  Subordinated  debt or preferred stock  obligations rated "C" are currently
highly  vulnerable  to  nonpayment.  The "C"  rating  may be  used to  cover a
situation where a bankruptcy  petition has been filed or similar action taken,
but  payments  on this  obligation  are  being  continued.  A "C" also will be
assigned to a preferred  stock issue in arrears on  dividends  or sinking fund
payments, but that is currently paying.

D: An obligation rated "D" are in payment default.  The "D" rating category is
used when payments on an  obligation  are not made on the date due even if the
applicable  grace period has not expired,  unless  Standard & Poor's  believes
that such payments will be made during such grace period.  The "D" rating also
will be used  upon the  filing of a  bankruptcy  petition  or the  taking of a
similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

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.

c: The `c' subscript is used to provide additional information to investors
that the bank may terminate its obligation to purchase tendered bonds if the
long-term credit rating of the issuer is below an investment-grade level
and/or the issuer's bonds are deemed taxable.

p: The letter `p' indicates that the rating is provisional. A provisional
rating assumes the successful completion of the project financed by the debt
being rated and indicates that payment of debt service requirements is
largely or entirely dependent upon the successful, timely completion of the
project. This rating, however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to
completion of the project, makes no comment on the likelihood of or the risk
of default upon failure of such completion. The investor should exercise his
own judgment with respect to such likelihood and risk.

Continuance of the ratings is contingent upon Standard & Poor's receipt of an
executed copy of the escrow agreement or closing documentation confirming
investments and cash flows.

r: The `r' highlights derivative, hybrid, and certain other obligations that
Standard & Poor's believes may experience high volatility or high variability
in expected returns as a result of noncredit risks. Examples of such
obligations are securities with principal or interest return indexed to
equities, commodities, or currencies; certain swaps and options; and
interest-only and principal-only mortgage securities. The absence of an `r'
symbol should not be taken as an indication that an obligation will exhibit
no volatility or variability in total return.

N.R. Not rated.

Debt obligations of issuers outside the United States and its territories are
rated on the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal issues. The
ratings measure the creditworthiness of the obligor but do not take into
account currency exchange and related uncertainties.

Bond Investment Quality Standards

Under present commercial bank regulations issued by the Comptroller of the
Currency, bonds rated in the top four categories (`AAA', `AA', `A', `BBB',
commonly known as investment-grade ratings) generally are regarded as
eligible for bank investment. Also, the laws of various states governing
legal investments impose certain rating or other standards for obligations
eligible for investment by savings banks, trust companies, insurance
companies, and fiduciaries in general

SHORT-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Short-term ratings are generally assigned to those obligations considered
short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means
obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365 days-including
commercial paper.

A-1: A short-term obligation rated "A-1" is rated in the highest category by
Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are
designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity
to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

A-2: A short-term obligation rated "A-2" 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: A short-term obligation rated "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: A short-term obligation rated "B" is 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: A short-term obligation rated "C" 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.

D: A short-term obligation rated "D" is in payment default. The "D" rating
category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due
even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's
believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The "D"
rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the
taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

NOTES:
A Standard & Poor's note rating reflects the liquidity factors and market
access risks unique to notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely
receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most likely
receive a long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used in
making that assessment:
o     Amortization schedule-the larger the final maturity relative to other
      maturities, the more likely it will
      be treated as a note; and
o     Source of payment-the more dependent the issue is on the market for its
      refinancing, the more likely
      it will be treated as a note.

SP-1: Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue with a very
strong capacity to pay debt service is given a (+) designation.

SP-2: Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some
vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the
notes.

SP-3: Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Fitch, Inc.
International credit ratings assess the capacity to meet foreign currency or
local currency commitments. Both "foreign currency" and "local currency"
ratings are internationally comparable assessments. The local currency rating
measures the probability of payment within the relevant sovereign state's
currency and jurisdiction and therefore, unlike the foreign currency rating,
does not take account of the possibility of foreign exchange controls
limiting transfer into foreign currency.

INTERNATIONAL LONG-TERM CREDIT RATINGS
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
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 rated 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
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
ratings. A short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 12 months for
most obligations, or up to three years for U.S. public finance securities,
and thus places greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet financial
commitments in a timely manner.

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.

1 In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term
"Independent Trustees/Directors" in this Statement of Additional Information
refers to those Trustees 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.
2 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible
Securities Fund.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 This provision does not apply to IRAs.
8 This provision only applies to qualified retirement plans and 403(b)(7)
custodial plans after your separation from service in or after the year you
reached age 55.
9 The distribution must be requested prior to Plan termination or the
elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment option under the Plan.
10 This provision does not apply to IRAs.
11 This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans and
loans from the OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single K retirement plan.
12 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the
participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers
- --------------------------------------------------------------

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class
A shares2 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.3  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 plans4

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."6 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).

      |X| Waivers for Redemptions of Shares Purchased on or After March 6,
1995 but Prior to November 24, 1995. In the following cases, the contingent
deferred sales charge will be waived for redemptions of Class A, Class B or
Class C shares of an Oppenheimer fund. The shares must have been acquired by
the merger of a Former Quest for Value Fund into the fund or by exchange from
an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Quest For Value Fund or into which such
Former Quest for Value Fund merged. Those shares must have been purchased on
or after March 6, 1995, but prior to November 24, 1995:
o     redemptions following the death or disability of the shareholder(s) (as

            evidenced by a determination of total disability by the U.S.
            Social Security Administration);
o     withdrawals under an automatic withdrawal plan (but only for Class B or
            Class C shares) where the annual withdrawals do not exceed 10% of
            the initial value of the account value; adjusted annually, and
o     liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value
            of shares held in the account is less than the required minimum
            account value.

      A shareholder's account will be credited with the amount of any
contingent deferred sales charge paid on the redemption of any Class A, Class
B or Class C shares of the Oppenheimer fund described in this section if the
proceeds are invested in the same Class of shares in that fund or another
Oppenheimer fund within 90 days after redemption.

          Oppenheimer Funds Who Were Shareholders of Connecticut Mutual

                            Investment Accounts, Inc.

The initial and contingent deferred sale charge rates and waivers for Class A
and Class B shares described in the respective Prospectus (or this Appendix)
of the following Oppenheimer funds (each is referred to as a "Fund" in this
section):
   Oppenheimer U. S. Government Trust,

   Oppenheimer Value Fund and
   Oppenheimer Disciplined Allocation Fund
are modified as described below for those Fund shareholders who were
shareholders of the following funds (referred to as the "Former Connecticut
Mutual Funds") on March 1, 1996, when OppenheimerFunds, Inc. became the
investment adviser to the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds:
   Connecticut Mutual Liquid Account         Connecticut Mutual Total Return

A. Prior Class A CDSC and Class A Sales Charge Waivers.


      |X| Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Certain shareholders of a
Fund and the other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds are entitled to continue
to make additional purchases of Class A shares at net asset value without a
Class A initial sales charge, but subject to the Class A contingent deferred
sales charge that was in effect prior to March 18, 1996 (the "prior Class A
CDSC"). Under the prior Class A CDSC, if any of those shares are redeemed
within one year of purchase, they will be assessed a 1% contingent deferred
sales charge on an amount equal to the current market value or the original
purchase price of the shares sold, whichever is smaller (in such redemptions,
any shares not subject to the prior Class A CDSC will be redeemed first).


      Those shareholders who are eligible for the prior Class A CDSC are:
         1) persons whose purchases of Class A shares of a Fund and other
            Former Connecticut Mutual Funds were $500,000 prior to March 18,
            1996, as a result of direct purchases or purchases pursuant to
            the Fund's policies on Combined Purchases or Rights of
            Accumulation, who still hold those shares in that Fund or other
            Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and
         2) persons whose intended purchases under a Statement of Intention
            entered into prior to March 18, 1996, with the former general
            distributor of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds to purchase
            shares valued at $500,000 or more over a 13-month period entitled
            those persons to purchase shares at net asset value without being
            subject to the Class A initial sales charge

      Any of the Class A shares of a Fund and the other Former Connecticut
Mutual Funds that were purchased at net asset value prior to March 18, 1996,
remain subject to the prior Class A CDSC, or if any additional shares are
purchased by those shareholders at net asset value pursuant to this
arrangement they will be subject to the prior Class A CDSC.


      |X| Class A Sales Charge Waivers. Additional Class A shares of a Fund
may be purchased without a sales charge, by a person who was in one (or more)
of the categories below and acquired Class A shares prior to March 18, 1996,
and still holds Class A shares:

         1) any purchaser, provided the total initial amount invested in the
            Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds
            totaled $500,000 or more, including investments made pursuant to
            the Combined Purchases, Statement of Intention and Rights of
            Accumulation features available at the time of the initial
            purchase and such investment is still held in one or more of the
            Former Connecticut Mutual Funds or a Fund into which such Fund
            merged;
         2) any participant in a qualified plan, provided that the total
            initial amount invested by the plan in the Fund or any one or
            more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds totaled $500,000 or
            more;
         3) Directors of the Fund or any one or more of the Former
            Connecticut Mutual Funds and members of their immediate families;
         4) employee benefit plans sponsored by Connecticut Mutual Financial
            Services, L.L.C. ("CMFS"), the prior distributor of the Former
            Connecticut Mutual Funds, and its affiliated companies;
         5) one or more members of a group of at least 1,000 persons (and
            persons who are retirees from such group) engaged in a common
            business, profession, civic or charitable endeavor or other
            activity, and the spouses and minor dependent children of such
            persons, pursuant to a marketing program between CMFS and such
            group; and
         6) an institution acting as a fiduciary on behalf of an individual
            or individuals, if such institution was directly compensated by
            the individual(s) for recommending the purchase of the shares of
            the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual
            Funds, provided the institution had an agreement with CMFS.

      Purchases of Class A shares made pursuant to (1) and (2) above may be
subject to the Class A CDSC of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds described
above.

      Additionally, Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased without a sales
charge by any holder of a variable annuity contract issued in New York State
by Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company through the Panorama Separate
Account which is beyond the applicable surrender charge period and which was
used to fund a qualified plan, if that holder exchanges the variable annuity
contract proceeds to buy Class A shares of the Fund.

B. Class A and Class B Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Waivers.

In addition to the waivers set forth in the Prospectus and in this Appendix,
above, the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for redemptions of
Class A and Class B shares of a Fund and exchanges of Class A or Class B
shares of a Fund into Class A or Class B shares of a Former Connecticut
Mutual Fund provided that the Class A or Class B shares of the Fund to be
redeemed or exchanged were (i) acquired prior to March 18, 1996 or (ii) were
acquired by exchange from an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Connecticut
Mutual Fund. Additionally, the shares of such Former Connecticut Mutual Fund
must have been purchased prior to March 18, 1996:
   1) by the estate of a deceased shareholder;
   2) upon the disability of a shareholder, as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of
      the Internal Revenue Code;
   3) for retirement distributions (or loans) to participants or
      beneficiaries from retirement plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or
      403(b)(7)of the Code, or from IRAs, deferred compensation plans created
      under Section 457 of the Code, or other employee benefit plans;
   as tax-free returns of excess contributions to such retirement or employee
      benefit plans;
   5) in whole or in part, in connection with shares sold to any state,
      county, or city, or any instrumentality, department, authority, or
      agency thereof, that is prohibited by applicable investment laws from
      paying a sales charge or concession in connection with the purchase of
      shares of any registered investment management company;
   6) in connection with the redemption of shares of the Fund due to a

      annually; or
   9) as involuntary redemptions of shares by operation of law, or under
      procedures set forth in the Fund's Articles of Incorporation, or as
      adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund.

Item 24. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

None.

Item 25. Indemnification
- ------------------------


Reference is made to the provisions of Article Seven of Registrant's Amended
and Restated Declaration of Trust filed as Exhibit 23(a) to this Registration
Statement, and incorporated herein by reference.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling
person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person,
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

                             AMENDED AND RESTATED
                         INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

      Agreement, made the 1st day of January, 2005, by and between
Oppenheimer Quest Capital Value Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation
(hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), and OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
(hereinafter referred to as "OFI").

      WHEREAS, the Company is an open-end, diversified management investment
company registered as such with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment
Company Act"), and OFI is an investment adviser registered as such with the
Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;

      WHEREAS, the Company desires that OFI shall act as its investment
adviser pursuant to this Amended and Restated Agreement, which amends and
restates the February 28, 1997, agreement by and between the Company and OFI;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
hereinafter set forth, it is agreed by and between the parties, as follows:

      1.    General Provisions:
            ------------------

            The Company hereby employs OFI and OFI hereby undertakes to act
as the investment adviser of the Company, and to perform for the Company such
other duties and functions for the period and on such terms as set forth in
this Agreement. OFI shall, in all matters, give to the Company and its Board
of Directors (the "Directors") the benefit of its best judgment, effort,
advice and recommendations and shall at all times conform to, and use its
best efforts to enable the Company to conform to (i) the provisions of the
Investment Company Act and any rules or regulations thereunder; (ii) any
other applicable provisions of state or Federal law; (iii) the provisions of
the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company as amended from time
to time; (iv) policies and determinations of the Directors; (v) the
fundamental policies and investment restrictions as reflected in the
registration statement of the Company under the Investment Company Act or as
such policies may, from time to time, be amended and (vi) the Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information in effect from time to time. The
appropriate officers and employees of OFI shall be available upon reasonable
notice for consultation with any of the Directors and officers of the Company
with respect to any matters dealing with the business and affairs of the
Company including the valuation of portfolio securities of the Company which
are either not registered for public sale or not traded on any securities
market.

      2.    Investment Management:
            ---------------------

            (a) OFI shall, subject to the direction and control by the
Directors, (i) regularly provide investment advice and recommendations to the
Company with respect to the investments, investment policies and the purchase
and sale of securities; (ii) supervise continuously the investment program of
the Company and the composition of its portfolio and determine what
securities shall be purchased or sold by the Company; and (iii) arrange,
subject to the provisions of paragraph 7 hereof, for the purchase of
securities and other investments by the Company and the sale of securities
and other investments held in the Company's portfolio.

            (b) Provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any
compensation for services under this Agreement other than as provided by the
terms of the Agreement and subject to the provisions of paragraph 7 hereof,
OFI may obtain investment information, research or assistance from any other
person, firm or corporation to supplement, update or otherwise improve its
investment management services including entering into sub-advisory
agreements with other affiliated or unaffiliated registered investment
advisers to obtain specialized services.

            (c) Provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect OFI
from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of
its duties, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement, OFI shall not be liable for any loss sustained by reason of good
faith errors or omissions in connection with any matters to which this
Agreement relates.

            (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent OFI or any entity
controlling, controlled by or under common control with OFI or any officer
thereof from acting as investment adviser for any other person, firm or
corporation or in any way limit or restrict OFI or any of its directors,
officers, stockholders or employees from buying, selling or trading any
securities for its or their own account or for the account of others for whom
it or they may be acting, provided that such activities will not adversely
affect or otherwise impair the performance by OFI of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement.

      3.    Other Duties of OFI:
            -------------------

            OFI shall, at its own expense, provide and supervise the
activities of all administrative and clerical personnel as shall be required
to provide effective corporate administration for the Company, including the
compilation and maintenance of such records with respect to its operations as
may reasonably be required; the preparation and filing of such reports with
respect thereto as shall be required by the Commission; composition of
periodic reports with respect to operations of the Company for its
shareholders; composition of proxy materials for meetings of the Company's
shareholders; and the composition of such registration statements as may be
required by Federal and state securities laws for continuous public sale of
Shares of the Company. OFI shall, at its own cost and expense, also provide
the Company with adequate office space, facilities and equipment. OFI shall,
at its own expense, provide such officers for the Company as the Board of
Directors may request.

      4.    Allocation of Expenses:
            ----------------------

            All other costs and expenses of the Company not expressly assumed
by OFI under this Agreement, or to be paid by OppenheimerFunds Distributor,
Inc., the distributor of the shares of the Company, shall be paid by the
Company, including, but not limited to: (i) interest, taxes and governmental
fees; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in acquiring or
disposing of the portfolio securities and other investments; (iii) insurance
premiums for fidelity and other coverage requisite to its operations; (iv)
compensation and expenses of its Directors other than those affiliated with
OFI; (v) legal and audit expenses; (vi) custodian and transfer agent fees and
expenses; (vii) expenses incident to the redemption of its Shares; (viii)
expenses incident to the issuance of its Shares against payment therefor by
or on behalf of the subscribers thereto; (ix) fees and expenses, other than
as hereinabove provided, incident to the registration under Federal and state
securities laws of Shares of the Company for public sale; (x) expenses of
printing and mailing reports, notices and proxy materials to shareholders of
the Company; (xi) except as noted above, all other expenses incidental to
holding meetings of the Company's shareholders; and (xii) such extraordinary
non-recurring expenses as may arise, including litigation, affecting the
Company and any legal obligation which the Company may have to indemnify its
officers and Directors with respect thereto. Any officers or employees of OFI
or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with OFI
who also serve as officers, Directors or employees of the Company shall not
receive any compensation from the Company for their services.

      5.    Compensation of OFI:
            -------------------

            The Company agrees to pay OFI and OFI agrees to accept as full
compensation for the performance of all functions and duties on its part to
be performed pursuant to the provisions hereof, a fee computed on the total
net asset value of the Company as of the close of each business day and
payable monthly at the annual rate set forth on Schedule A hereto.

      6.    Use of Name "Oppenheimer" or "Quest":
            ------------------------------------

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

      7.    Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage:
            ------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

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

      8.    Duration:
            --------

            This Agreement will take effect on the date first set forth
above. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to paragraph 10 hereof, this
Agreement shall remain in effect from year to year, so long as such
continuance shall be approved at least annually by the Company's Board of
Directors, including the vote of the majority of the Directors of the Company
who are not parties to this Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in
the Investment Company Act) of any such party, cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval, or by the holders of a
"majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the outstanding
voting securities of the Company, and by such a vote of the Company's Board
of Directors.

      9.    Termination:
            -----------

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

      10.   Assignment or Amendment:
            -----------------------

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

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

                             AMENDED AND RESTATED

                 Distribution and Service Plan and Agreement

                                     with

                      OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc.

                            For Class C Shares of

                  Oppenheimer Quest Capital Value Fund, Inc.


      This Amended and Restated  Distribution  and Service Plan and  Agreement
(the  "Plan") is dated as of the 11th day of  February,  2004,  by and between
Oppenheimer  Quest Capital Value Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") and  OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc. (the "Distributor").  This Amended and Restated Distribution
and Service Plan and Agreement  replaces the Distribution and Service Plan and
Agreement for Class C shares dated February 3, 1998.

1.    The Plan. This Plan is the Fund's written  distribution and service plan
      --------
for Class C shares of the Fund (the  "Shares"),  designed  to comply  with the
provisions  of Rule 12b-1 as it may be amended  from time to time (the "Rule")
under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").  Pursuant to this
Plan the Fund will  compensate the  Distributor for its services in connection
with the  distribution of Shares,  and the personal service and maintenance of
shareholder  accounts  that  hold  Shares  ("Accounts").  The  Fund may act as
distributor  of  securities  of which it is the issuer,  pursuant to the Rule,
according  to the terms of this Plan.  The terms and  provisions  of this Plan
shall be interpreted  and defined in a manner  consistent  with the provisions
and definitions contained in (i) the Fund's Registration  Statement,  (ii) the
1940 Act, (iii) the Rule,  (iv) Rule 2830 of the Conduct Rules of the National
Association  of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc.,  or any  applicable  amendment or
successor  to such rule (the  "NASD  Conduct  Rules")  and (v) any  conditions
pertaining   either  to   distribution-related   expenses  or  to  a  plan  of
distribution  to which the Fund is  subject  under any order on which the Fund
relies,  issued at any time by the U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
("SEC").

2.    Definitions.  As used in this Plan,  the following  terms shall have the
      -----------
following meanings:

      (a) "Recipient" shall mean any broker,  dealer,  bank or other person or
entity which: (i) has rendered assistance  (whether direct,  administrative or
both) in the  distribution  of Shares or has provided  administrative  support
services  with  respect to Shares  held by  Customers  (defined  below) of the
Recipient;  (ii) shall  furnish the  Distributor  (on behalf of the Fund) with
such information as the Distributor  shall  reasonably  request to answer such
questions  as may  arise  concerning  the sale of  Shares;  and (iii) has been
selected by the Distributor to receive payments under the Plan.

      (b)  "Independent  Directors" shall mean the members of the Fund's Board
of Directors who are not "interested  persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of
the  Fund  and who  have no  direct  or  indirect  financial  interest  in the
operation of this Plan or in any agreement relating to this Plan.

      (c)  "Customers"  shall  mean  such  brokerage  or  other  customers  or
investment  advisory or other  clients of a Recipient,  and/or  accounts as to
which  such  Recipient  provides  administrative  support  services  or  is  a
custodian or other fiduciary.

      (d) "Qualified  Holdings"  shall mean, as to any  Recipient,  all Shares
owned  beneficially  or of  record  by:  (i)  such  Recipient,  or  (ii)  such
Recipient's  Customers,  but in no event shall any such Shares be deemed owned
by more than one  Recipient  for purposes of this Plan. In the event that more
than one person or entity  would  otherwise  qualify as  Recipients  as to the
same  Shares  with  respect to the  payment of the  Asset-Based  Sales  Charge
and/or  Service Fee  (defined  below),  the  Recipient  which is the dealer of
record on the Fund's books as  determined by the  Distributor  shall be deemed
the Recipient as to such Shares for purposes of this Plan.

3.    Payments  for  Distribution   Assistance  and  Administrative  Support
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Services.

      (a) Payments to the  Distributor.  In consideration of the payments made
          ----------------------------
by the Fund to the Distributor  under this Plan, the Distributor shall provide
administrative  support services and  distribution  services to the Fund. Such
services include distribution  assistance and administrative  support services
rendered in  connection  with Shares (1) sold in  purchase  transactions,  (2)
issued in  exchange  for shares of another  investment  company  for which the
Distributor serves as distributor or  sub-distributor,  or (3) issued pursuant
to a plan of  reorganization  to  which  the  Fund is a  party.  If the  Board
believes that the  Distributor may not be rendering  appropriate  distribution
assistance or  administrative  support services in connection with the sale of
Shares,  then the Distributor,  at the request of the Board, shall provide the
Board  with  a  written  report  or  other  information  to  verify  that  the
Distributor  is  providing  appropriate  services  in this  regard.  For  such
services, the Fund will make the following payments to the Distributor:

            (i)  Administrative  Support Service Fees.  Within forty-five (45)
                 ------------------------------------
days of the end of each calendar  quarter,  the Fund will make payments in the
aggregate  amount of up to 0.25% on an annual basis of the average during that
calendar  quarter of the aggregate  net asset value of the Shares  computed as
of the close of each  business  day (the  "Service  Fee").  Such  Service  Fee
payments  received from the Fund will compensate the Distributor for providing
administrative  support services with respect to Accounts.  The administrative
support  services in connection  with  Accounts may include,  but shall not be
limited to, the  administrative  support  services that a Recipient may render
as described in Section 3(b)(i) below.

            (ii) Distribution  Assistance Fees (Asset-Based Sales Charge). The
                 --------------------------------------------------------
Fund may make payments of an  "Asset-Based  Sales Charge" of up to 0.0625% per
month  (0.75%  on an  annual  basis) of the  average  during  the month of the
aggregate net asset value of Shares  computed as of the close of each business
day.  Such  Asset-Based  Sales  Charge  payments  received  from the Fund will
compensate  the   Distributor   for  providing   distribution   assistance  in
connection with the sale of Shares.

            The  distribution  assistance  services  to  be  rendered  by  the
Distributor  in  connection  with the  Shares  may  include,  but shall not be
limited  to,  the  following:  (i) paying  sales  commissions  to any  broker,
dealer,  bank or other person or entity that sells Shares,  and/or paying such
persons  "Advance  Service Fee  Payments"  (as  defined  below) in advance of,
and/or in amounts  greater  than,  the amount  provided for in Section 3(b) of
this Agreement;  (ii) paying  compensation to and expenses of personnel of the
Distributor who support distribution of Shares by Recipients;  (iii) obtaining
financing or  providing  such  financing  from its own  resources,  or from an
affiliate,  for the interest and other  borrowing  costs of the  Distributor's
unreimbursed  expenses  incurred  in  rendering  distribution  assistance  and
administrative  support  services to the Fund;  and (iv) paying  other  direct
distribution   costs,   including  without   limitation  the  costs  of  sales
literature,  advertising  and  prospectuses  (other  than  those  prospectuses
furnished to current holders of the Fund's shares  ("Shareholders")) and state
"blue sky" registration expenses.

      (b) Payments to  Recipients.  The  Distributor  is authorized  under the
          -----------------------
Plan  to  pay  Recipients  (1)  distribution  assistance  fees  for  rendering
distribution  assistance  in  connection  with the sale of Shares  and/or  (2)
service fees for  rendering  administrative  support  services with respect to
Accounts.  However,  no such  payments  shall be made to any Recipient for any
quarter in which its Qualified  Holdings do not equal or exceed, at the end of
such quarter, the minimum amount ("Minimum Qualified Holdings"),  if any, that
may be set from time to time by a majority of the Independent  Directors.  All
fee payments  made by the  Distributor  hereunder  are subject to reduction or
chargeback so that the aggregate  service fee payments and Advance Service Fee
Payments do not exceed the limits on payments to  Recipients  that are, or may
be, imposed by the NASD Conduct Rules.  The Distributor may make Plan payments
to any "affiliated  person" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Distributor if
such  affiliated  person  qualifies as a Recipient or retain such  payments if
the Distributor qualifies as a Recipient.

            In  consideration  of the  services  provided by  Recipients,  the
Distributor shall make the following payments to Recipients:

            (i)  Service  Fee.  In  consideration  of  administrative  support
                 ------------
services  provided by a Recipient during a calendar  quarter,  the Distributor
shall  make  service  fee  payments  to  that  Recipient   quarterly,   within
forty-five  (45) days of the end of each  calendar  quarter,  at a rate not to
exceed 0.25% on an annual basis of the average during the calendar  quarter of
the  aggregate  net asset  value of Shares,  computed  as of the close of each
business day, constituting  Qualified Holdings owned beneficially or of record
by the  Recipient  or by its  Customers  for a period of more than the minimum
period (the "Minimum  Holding  Period"),  if any, that may be set from time to
time by a majority of the Independent Directors.

            Alternatively,  the Distributor may, at its sole option,  make the
following service fee payments to any Recipient  quarterly,  within forty-five
(45)  days of the end of each  calendar  quarter:  (A)  "Advance  Service  Fee
Payments"  at a rate not to exceed  0.25% of the average  during the  calendar
quarter of the aggregate  net asset value of Shares,  computed as of the close
of business on the day such Shares are sold,  constituting Qualified Holdings,
sold by the Recipient during that quarter and owned  beneficially or of record
by the Recipient or by its Customers,  plus (B) service fee payments at a rate
not to exceed  0.25% on an annual  basis of the  average  during the  calendar
quarter of the aggregate  net asset value of Shares,  computed as of the close
of each business day,  constituting  Qualified  Holdings owned beneficially or
of record by the  Recipient or by its  Customers for a period of more than one
(1) year. At the Distributor's  sole option,  Advance Service Fee Payments may
be made more often than  quarterly,  and sooner  than the end of the  calendar
quarter.  In the event Shares are  redeemed  less than one year after the date
such  Shares  were sold,  the  Recipient  is  obligated  to and will repay the
Distributor  on  demand  a pro  rata  portion  of  such  Advance  Service  Fee
Payments,  based on the  ratio of the time  such  Shares  were held to one (1)
year.

            The  administrative  support services to be rendered by Recipients
in connection with the Accounts may include,  but shall not be limited to, the
following:  answering routine inquiries  concerning the Fund, assisting in the
establishment  and  maintenance  of accounts or  sub-accounts  in the Fund and
processing Share redemption  transactions,  making the Fund's investment plans
and dividend payment options  available,  and providing such other information
and services in connection with the rendering of personal  services and/or the
maintenance  of  Accounts,  as the  Distributor  or the  Fund  may  reasonably
request.

            (ii)  Distribution  Assistance  Fee  (Asset-Based  Sales  Charge)
                  ------------------------------------------------------------
Payments.  Irrespective of whichever  alternative method of making service fee
- --------
payments  to  Recipients  is  selected by the  Distributor,  in  addition  the
Distributor shall make distribution  assistance fee payments to each Recipient
quarterly,  within  forty-five  (45)  days  after  the  end of  each  calendar
quarter,  at a rate not to exceed  0.1875%  (0.75% on an annual  basis) of the
average  during the  calendar  quarter  of the  aggregate  net asset  value of
Shares  computed as of the close of each business day  constituting  Qualified
Holdings  owned  beneficially  or of record by the  Recipient or its Customers
for a period  of more than one (1) year.  Alternatively,  at its sole  option,
the Distributor may make  distribution  assistance fee payments to a Recipient
quarterly,  at the rate  described  above,  on Shares  constituting  Qualified
Holdings  owned  beneficially  or of record by the  Recipient or its Customers
without  regard to the 1-year  holding period  described  above.  Distribution
assistance fee payments  shall be made only to Recipients  that are registered
with the SEC as a broker-dealer or are exempt from registration.

            The  distribution  assistance to be rendered by the  Recipients in
connection  with the sale of Shares may include,  but shall not be limited to,
the  following:  distributing  sales  literature and  prospectuses  other than
those furnished to current Shareholders,  providing compensation to and paying
expenses of personnel of the Recipient who support the  distribution of Shares
by the  Recipient,  and  providing  such other  information  and  services  in
connection with the  distribution of Shares as the Distributor or the Fund may
reasonably request.

      (c) A  majority  of the  Independent  Directors  may at any time or from
time to time  (i)  increase  or  decrease  the  rate of fees to be paid to the
Distributor  or to any  Recipient,  but not to exceed  the  maximum  rates set
forth above,  and/or (ii) direct the  Distributor  to increase or decrease any
Minimum  Holding  Period,  any  maximum  period  set  by  a  majority  of  the
Independent  Directors  during which fees will be paid on Shares  constituting
Qualified  Holdings owned  beneficially  or of record by a Recipient or by its
Customers (the "Maximum Holding Period"),  or Minimum Qualified Holdings.  The
Distributor  shall notify all  Recipients of any Minimum  Qualified  Holdings,
Maximum  Holding Period and Minimum  Holding Period that are  established  and
the rate of payments  hereunder  applicable to  Recipients,  and shall provide
each  Recipient  with written  notice within thirty (30) days after any change
in  these  provisions.  Inclusion  of  such  provisions  or a  change  in such
provisions  in  a  supplement  or  Statement  of  Additional   Information  or
amendment  to or  revision  of  the  prospectus  or  Statement  of  Additional
Information of the Fund shall constitute sufficient notice.

      (d) The  Service  Fee and the  Asset-Based  Sales  Charge on Shares  are
subject to reduction or  elimination  under the limits that apply to such fees
under the NASD Conduct Rules relating to sales of shares of open-end funds.

      (e) Under  the Plan,  payments  may also be made to  Recipients:  (i) by
OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.  ("OFI")  from its own  resources  (which may  include
profits  derived from the advisory fee it receives from the Fund),  or (ii) by
the  Distributor  (a  subsidiary  of  OFI),  from  its  own  resources,   from
Asset-Based  Sales Charge payments or from the proceeds of its borrowings,  in
either case, in the discretion of OFI or the Distributor, respectively.

      (f)  Recipients  are  intended  to have  certain  rights as  third-party
beneficiaries  under this Plan, subject to the limitations set forth below. It
may be presumed  that a Recipient  has  provided  distribution  assistance  or
administrative  support  services  qualifying for payment under the Plan if it
has Qualified  Holdings of Shares that entitle it to payments  under the Plan.
If either the  Distributor  or the Board  believe  that,  notwithstanding  the
level of Qualified  Holdings,  a Recipient  may not be  rendering  appropriate
distribution   assistance   in   connection   with  the  sale  of   Shares  or
administrative  support services for Accounts,  then the  Distributor,  at the
request of the Board,  shall require the Recipient to provide a written report
or other  information to verify that said  Recipient is providing  appropriate
distribution  assistance and/or services in this regard. If the Distributor or
the  Board of  Directors  still is not  satisfied  after the  receipt  of such
report,  either may take appropriate steps to terminate the Recipient's status
as a  Recipient  under  the  Plan,  whereupon  such  Recipient's  rights  as a
third-party  beneficiary  hereunder shall  terminate.  Additionally,  in their
discretion  a majority  of the Fund's  Independent  Directors  at any time may
remove any  broker,  dealer,  bank or other  person or entity as a  Recipient,
whereupon  such  person's  or  entity's  rights as a  third-party  beneficiary
hereof  shall  terminate.  Notwithstanding  any other  provision of this Plan,
this Plan  does not  obligate  or in any way make the Fund  liable to make any
payment  whatsoever  to any  person  or  entity  other  than  directly  to the
Distributor.  The  Distributor  has no  obligation  to pay any Service Fees or
Distribution  Assistance  Fees to any  Recipient  if the  Distributor  has not
received  payment of Service  Fees or  Distribution  Assistance  Fees from the
Fund.

4.    Selection and  Nomination  of  Directors.  While this Plan is in effect,
      ----------------------------------------
the  selection  and  nomination of persons to be Directors of the Fund who are
not  "interested  persons" of the Fund  ("Disinterested  Directors")  shall be
committed to the discretion of the incumbent Disinterested Directors.  Nothing
herein shall prevent the incumbent  Disinterested  Directors  from  soliciting
the views or the  involvement  of others in such  selection or  nomination  as
long as the final  decision on any such  selection and  nomination is approved
by a majority of the incumbent Disinterested Directors.

5.    Reports.  While this Plan is in effect,  the Treasurer of the Fund shall
      -------
provide  written  reports to the Fund's  Board for its review,  detailing  the
aggregate  amount of all  payments  made under this Plan and the  purpose  for
which the payments  were made.  The reports shall be provided  quarterly,  and
shall  state  whether  all  provisions  of  Section  3 of this  Plan have been
complied with.

6.    Related  Agreements.  Any  agreement  related  to this Plan  shall be in
      -------------------
writing and shall  provide that:  (i) such  agreement may be terminated at any
time,  without  payment  of  any  penalty,  by a  vote  of a  majority  of the
Independent  Directors or by a vote of the holders of a "majority" (as defined
in the 1940 Act) of the Fund's  outstanding  voting Class C shares;  (ii) such
termination  shall be on not more than sixty days' written notice to any other
party to the agreement;  (iii) such agreement shall automatically terminate in
the  event of its  "assignment"  (as  defined  in the  1940  Act);  (iv)  such
agreement  shall go into effect  when  approved by a vote of the Board and its
Independent  Directors  cast in person at a meeting  called for the purpose of
voting on such agreement;  and (v) such agreement shall,  unless terminated as
herein  provided,  continue  in effect  from year to year only so long as such
continuance is specifically  approved at least annually by a vote of the Board
and its  Independent  Directors  cast in person at a  meeting  called  for the
purpose of voting on such continuance.

7.    Effectiveness,  Continuation,  Termination  and Amendment.  This Amended
      ---------------------------------------------------------
and  Restated  Plan  has  been  approved  by a  vote  of  the  Board  and  its
Independent  Directors and replaces the Fund's prior  Distribution and Service
Plan and  Agreement  for  Class C shares.  Unless  terminated  as  hereinafter
provided,  it  shall  continue  in  effect  until  renewed  by  the  Board  in
accordance  with the Rule and thereafter from year to year or as the Board may
otherwise  determine  but  only so long as such  continuance  is  specifically
approved  at  least  annually  by a vote  of the  Board  and  its  Independent
Directors  cast in person at a meeting  called  for the  purpose  of voting on
such continuance.

      This  Plan may not be  amended  to  increase  materially  the  amount of
payments  to be  made  under  this  Plan,  without  approval  of the  Class  C
Shareholders at a meeting called for that purpose and all material  amendments
must be approved by a vote of the Board and of the Independent Directors.

      This Plan may be  terminated  at any time by a vote of a majority of the
Independent  Directors  or by the  vote of the  holders  of a  "majority"  (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund's  outstanding  Class C voting shares. In
the event of such termination,  the Board and its Independent  Directors shall
determine  whether the Distributor  shall be entitled to payment from the Fund
of all or a portion of the Service Fee and/or the Asset-Based  Sales Charge in
respect of Shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination.
