See "How to Buy Shares - Buying Class A Shares", below. 3. Pursuant to shareholder approval received on May 19, 1997, the sections of the Prospectus entitled "Investment Objective and Policies," and "Investment Techniques and Strategies" are revised as follows: (1) The Fund's investmnt policies listed under the caption "Investment Policies and Strategies" on page 12 are no longer fundamental policies.

July 31, 1997 PS0835.003 OPPENHEIMER QUEST CAPITAL VALUE FUND, INC. Supplement Dated July 31, 1997 to the Statement of Additional Information dated March 3, 1997 The Statement of Additional Information is amended as follows: The section captioned "Performance of the Fund" on page 26 is revised by replacing the subsections captioned "Cumulative Total Returns" and "Total Returns at Net Asset Value" with the following: Cumulative Total Returns. 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 In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current maximum sales charge of 5.75% (as a percentage of the offering price) is deducted from the initial investment ("P") (unless the return is shown at net asset value, as described below). Prior to the date hereof, the Fund operated as a closed-end investment company and no initial sales charge was imposed on Fund shares. Total returns also assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions during the period are reinvested to buy additional shares at net asset value per share, and that the investment is redeemed at the end of the period. As discussed above, total returns for Class A shares have been adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of such Class of shares in effect as of the date thereof without giving effect to any fee waivers. The "average annual total returns" on an investment in Class A shares of the Fund (using the method described above) for the one year and five year periods ended December 31, 1996 and for the period from February 13, 1987 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1996 (all of which preceded the open-end conversion) were 11.45%, 14.20% and 15.58%, respectively. The cumulative total return on the Fund's Class A shares for the period from February 13, 1987 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1996 was 318.46%. Total Returns at Net Asset Value. From time to time the Fund may also quote an "average annual total return at net asset value" or a "cumulative total return at net asset value" for Class A, Class B or Class C 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. The average annual total return at net asset value for Class A shares for the one and five year periods ended December 31, 1996 and for the period from February 13, 1987 through December 31, 1996 were 18.25%, 15.56% and 16.28%, respectively. The cumulative total return at net asset value on the Fund's Class A shares for the period from February 13, 1987 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1996 was 343.99%.
