Example. The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows:

If shares are redeemed									If shares are not redeemed
	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years		1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
Class A	$	563	$	750	$	952	$	1,535	$	563	$	750	$	952	$	1,535
Class B	$	691	$	890	$	1,215	$	1,710	$	191	$	590	$	1,015	$	1,710
Class C	$	282	$	565	$	973	$	2,113	$	182	$	565	$	973	$	2,113
Class Y	$	79	$	247	$	429	$	958	$	79	$	247	$	429	$	958

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund invests mainly in New York municipal securities that pay interest that, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from federal and New York personal income taxes. To seek its investment objective:

As a fundamental policy, under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in tax-exempt securities, including securities subject to alternative minimum tax, and

The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in below-investment-grade securities (commonly called "junk bonds"). Investment-grade securities are rated within one of the four highest rating categories of a nationally recognized statistical rating organization such as Standard & Poor's (AAA, AA, A or BBB) (or in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Fund's investment adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund may also invest in unrated securities, in which case the Fund's investment adviser, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., internally assigns ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Manager's credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

The Fund's tax-exempt investments can include a wide variety of debt obligations, including securities issued by:

the State of New York and its political subdivisions (for example, cities, towns and counties),

agencies, public authorities and instrumentalities (these are state-chartered corporations) of the State of New York, and

territories, commonwealths and possessions of the United States (for example, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands) that pay interest that, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from federal, New York State and New York City personal income taxes.

These are referred to as "New York municipal securities" in this prospectus.

The Fund's investments have no maturity limitations and can include municipal bonds, municipal notes, and interests in municipal leases. At times, the Fund may focus on longer-term securities to seek higher yields. This portfolio strategy is subject to change. The Fund can buy general obligation bonds and revenue bonds, including "private activity" municipal securities that pay income subject to alternative minimum taxation. To the extent the Fund invests in securities that may pay interest subject to alternative minimum taxation, those securities will be counted towards the Fund's policy regarding minimum investments in tax-exempt securities as described above. The Fund may invest a substantial percentage of its assets in "callable" securities, which may be redeemed by the issuer before their maturity date.

The Fund can invest in inverse floating rate securities, a variable rate instrument, to seek increased income and return. Inverse floating rate securities are leveraged instruments and the extent of their leverage will vary depending on the security's characteristics. The Fund limits its investments in inverse floating rate securities as further described in this Prospectus under "Principal Risks."

The Fund can borrow money to purchase additional securities, another form of leverage. Although the amount of borrowing will vary from time to time, the amount of leveraging from borrowings will not exceed one-third of the Fund's total assets.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers generally look for triple tax-exempt municipal securities using a variety of factors. Currently, the portfolio managers look for a wide range of securities of different issuers within the state of New York, including those of different agencies and municipalities. They also focus on finding primarily investment-grade securities that offer high-income opportunities, including unrated bonds and securities of smaller issuers that might be overlooked by other investors and funds.

These factors may change over time and may vary in particular cases. The portfolio managers may consider selling a security if any of these factors no longer applies to a security purchased for the Fund, but are not required to do so.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

Main Risks of Investing in Municipal Securities. Municipal securities may be subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, credit spread risk, extension risk, reinvestment risk and prepayment risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may be worth less than the amount the Fund paid for them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. 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 an issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the Fund's income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. "Credit spread" is the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality. There is a risk that credit spreads may increase when the market expects lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund's lower-rated and unrated securities. Extension risk is the risk that an increase in interest rates could cause principal payments on a debt security to be repaid at a slower rate than expected. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security's call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of lengthening the debt security's expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security's sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer may redeem the security prior to the expected maturity or that borrowers may repay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income.

Special Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. Below-investment-grade debt securities may be subject to greater price fluctuations and have a greater risk that the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due. The market for below-investment-grade securities may be less liquid and they may be harder to value or to sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.

Because the Fund can invest up to 25% of its assets in below-investment-grade securities, the Fund's credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been lowered or, in case of an unrated security, after the Fund's adviser has changed its assessment of the security's credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund's holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed this restriction for an extended period of time. If the Fund has more than 25% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the restriction.

The Fund generally will not invest more than 5% of its net assets in the securities of an issuer if the securities are rated "B" or below by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, assigned a similar rating by the adviser.

Special Risks of New York Municipal Securities. Because the Fund invests primarily in New York municipal securities, the value of its portfolio investments will be highly sensitive to events affecting the financial stability of the state of New York and its municipalities, agencies, authorities and other instrumentalities that issue those securities. Changes in legislation or policy, erosion of the tax base, the effects of terrorist acts or natural disasters, or other economic or credit problems may have a significant negative impact on the value of state or local securities.

These risks also apply to securities of issuers of U.S. territories, commonwealths or possessions located outside of New York such as Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the Virgin Islands.

Municipal Market Volatility and Illiquidity. The municipal bond market can be susceptible to unusual volatility, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can be reduced unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund's books. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds' prices.

Municipal Sector Concentration. While the Fund does not invest more than 25% of its total assets in a single industry, certain types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases, special assessment and special tax bonds) are not considered a part of any "industry" for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in these types of municipal securities. These types of municipal securities may finance, or pay interest from the revenues of, projects that tend to be impacted in the same way by economic, business or political developments which would increase credit risk. For example, legislation on the financing of a project or a declining economic need for the project would likely affect all similar projects.

Risks of Tobacco Related Bonds. In 1998, the largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers reached an out of court agreement, known as the Master Settlement Agreement (the "MSA"), to settle claims against them by 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions. The tobacco manufacturers agreed to make annual payments to the government entities in exchange for the release of all litigation claims. A number of the states have sold bonds that are backed by those future payments. The Fund may invest in two types of those bonds: (i) bonds that make payments only from a state's interest in the MSA and (ii) bonds that make payments from both the MSA revenue and from an "appropriation pledge" by the state. An "appropriation pledge" requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to make the payments and is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state.

The settlement payments are based on factors, including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. Payments could be reduced if consumption decreases, if market share is lost to non-MSA manufacturers, or if there is a negative outcome in litigation regarding the MSA, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA.

The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco-related bonds without an appropriation pledge that make payments only from a state's interest in the MSA.

Main Risks of Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It can use those borrowings for a number of purposes, including for purchasing securities, which can create "leverage." In that case, changes in the value of the Fund's investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow. Borrowing results in interest payments to the lenders and related expenses. Borrowing for investment purposes might reduce the Fund's return if the yield on the securities purchased is less than those borrowing costs. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations, for temporary and emergency purposes, or to unwind or contribute to trusts in connection with the Fund's investment in inverse floaters. The Fund currently participates in a line of credit with other Oppenheimer funds for its borrowing.

The Fund can participate in a committed reverse repurchase agreement program. Reverse repurchase agreements that the Fund may engage in also create leverage. A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale by the Fund of a debt obligation to a party for a specified price, with the simultaneous agreement by the Fund to repurchase that debt obligation from that party on a future date at a higher price. Similar to a borrowing, reverse repurchase agreements provide the Fund with cash for investment and operational purposes. When the Fund engages in reverse repurchase agreements, changes in the value of the Fund's investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these transactions due to the effect of leverage. Reverse repurchase agreements create fund expenses and require that the Fund have sufficient cash available to repurchase the debt obligation when required. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the debt obligation that is the subject of the reverse repurchase agreement could decline significantly below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase the security.

Risks of Derivatives. A "derivative" is an investment whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Derivatives may be volatile and involve significant risks. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. Certain derivative investments may be illiquid. The underlying security or other reference on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Fund expects it to. The Fund could realize little or no income or lose principal from a derivative investment or a hedge might be unsuccessful. The Fund may also lose money if the issuer of a derivative fails to pay the amount due.

Inverse Floaters. The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities ("inverse floaters") because, under ordinary circumstances, they offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit quality. Because inverse floaters are leveraged instruments, the value of an inverse floater will change more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and other market fluctuations than the market value of a conventional fixed-rate municipal security of similar maturity and credit quality, including the municipal bond underlying an inverse floater.

An inverse floater is created when a fixed-rate municipal bond is contributed to a trust. The trust issues two separate classes of securities: short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount that represent a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond, and the inverse floater that represents a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond. The trust issues and sells the short-term floating rate securities to third parties and the inverse floater to the Fund. The short-term floating rate securities generally bear short-term rates of interest. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the trust, such proceeds are first used to pay interest owing to holders of the short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Inverse floaters produce less income when short-term interest rates rise (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and more income when short-term interest rates fall. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate security is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond, any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, a trust may be collapsed and the underlying municipal bond liquidated, and the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities.

The Fund may invest in inverse floaters with any degree of leverage (measured by the outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities). However, the Fund may only expose up to 20% of its total assets to the effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. This limitation is measured by comparing the aggregate principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities that are related to the inverse floaters held by the Fund to the total assets of the Fund. Nevertheless, the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities) will fluctuate more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond, and are more likely to be eliminated entirely under adverse market conditions.

Who Is the Fund Designed For? The Fund is designed for investors seeking income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City personal income taxes in a municipal bond fund that focuses primarily on investment-grade obligations. The Fund does not seek capital appreciation. Investors should be willing to assume credit, interest rate and reinvestment risks. Because it invests in tax-exempt securities, the Fund is not appropriate for retirement plans or other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts or for investors whose primary goal is capital growth. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5 and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund's past investment performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. More recent performance information is available by calling the toll-free number on the back of this prospectus and on the Fund's website:
https://www.oppenheimerfunds.com/fund/RochesterFundMunicipals

Sales charges and taxes are not included and the returns would be lower if they were. During the period shown, the highest return for a calendar quarter was 20.68% (3rd Qtr 09) and the lowest return was -20.59% (4th Qtr 08).

The following table shows the average annual total returns for each class of the Fund's shares. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Your actual after-tax returns, depending on your individual tax situation, may differ from those shown and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for only one class and after-tax returns for other classes will vary.

Investment Adviser. OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is the Fund's investment adviser (the "Manager").

Portfolio Managers. Daniel G. Loughran is a Vice President of the Fund and has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since January 1999. Scott S. Cottier is a Vice President of the Fund and has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since September 2002. Troy E. Willis is a Vice President of the Fund and has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since June 2003. Mark R. DeMitry is a Vice President of the Fund and has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since September 2006. Michael L. Camarella is a Vice President of the Fund and has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since January 2008. Charles S.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares. In most cases, you can buy Fund shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional investments with as little as $50. For certain investment plans and retirement accounts, the minimum initial investment is $500 and, for some, the minimum additional investment is $25. For certain fee based programs the minimum initial investment is $250.

Shares may be purchased through a financial intermediary or the Distributor and redeemed through a financial intermediary or the Transfer Agent on days the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Shareholders may purchase or redeem shares by mail, through the website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com or by calling 1.800.225.5677. Share transactions may be paid by check, by Federal Funds wire or directly from or into your bank account.

After June 29, 2012, Class B shares will no longer be offered for new purchases. New Class B share account applications will be returned and any investments for existing Class B share accounts that are received after that date will be made in Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.

Taxes. Dividends paid from net investment income on tax-exempt municipal securities will be excludable from gross income for federal individual income tax purposes. Dividends that are derived from interest paid on certain "private activity bonds" may be an item of tax preference if you are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Certain distributions may be taxable as ordinary income or as capital gains. The tax treatment of dividends is the same whether they are taken in cash or reinvested.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries. If you purchase Fund shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Manager, or their related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.

MORE ABOUT THE FUND

About the Fund's Investments

The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time and the Fund's portfolio might not always include all of the different types of investments described below. The Statement of Additional Information contains additional information about the Fund's investment policies and risks.

The Fund's Principal Investment Strategies and Risks. The strategies and types of investments discussed in the Fund Summary are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective. Additionally, the following strategies and risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.

The Fund focuses its investments in the state of New York. The Fund will therefore be vulnerable to the effects of economic, regulatory and political developments that affect New York's governmental issuers.

The Manager tries to reduce risks by selecting a wide variety of municipal investments and by carefully researching securities before they are purchased. However, changes in the overall market prices of municipal securities and the income they pay can occur at any time. The yield and share prices of the Fund can change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic events.

Unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that an investment percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at the time the Fund makes an investment (except for borrowing and investments in illiquid securities).

Municipal Securities. Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public or private purposes, including financing state or local governments, financing specific projects or financing public facilities. These debt obligations are issued by the state governments, as well as their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, and counties) and their agencies and authorities. The Fund buys municipal bonds and notes, tax-exempt commercial paper, certificates of participation in municipal leases and other debt obligations. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. Some revenue obligations are private activity bonds that pay interest that may be a tax preference item for investors subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund selects investments without regard to this type of tax treatment.

Additionally, there are times when an issuer will pledge its taxing power to offer additional security to a revenue bond. These securities are sometimes called "double-barreled bonds." See, for example, tobacco bonds with an appropriation pledge as discussed in this prospectus. The Fund can also buy securities issued by any commonwealths, territories or possessions of the United States, or their respective agencies, instrumentalities or authorities, if the interest paid on the security is not subject to federal personal income tax (in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer at the time the security is issued).

The Fund can buy both long-term and short-term municipal securities. Long-term securities have a maturity of more than one year. The Fund generally focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher income.

New York municipal securities are municipal securities that are not subject (in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer at the time they are issued) to federal and New York individual income tax. The term "New York municipal securities" also includes debt securities of the governments of certain possessions, territories and commonwealths of the United States if the interest is not subject to federal and New York individual income tax. Some debt securities, such as zero-coupon securities, do not pay current interest. Other securities may be subject to calls by the issuer (to redeem the debt) or to prepayment prior to their stated maturity.

Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper. The Fund can also invest in tax-exempt commercial paper which is a type of short-term obligation (usually having a maturity of 270 days or less) that is issued by a municipality to meet current working capital needs.

Municipal Lease Obligations. Municipal leases are used by state and local governments to obtain funds to acquire land, equipment or facilities. The Fund can invest in certificates of participation that represent a proportionate interest in payments made under municipal lease obligations. Most municipal leases, while secured by the leased property, are not general obligations of the issuing municipality. They often contain "non-appropriation" clauses under which the municipal government has no obligation to make lease or installment payments in future years unless money is appropriated on a yearly basis.

If the municipal government stops making payments or transfers its payment obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable. Although the obligation may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to recover the original investment. Some lease obligations may not have an active trading market, making it difficult for the Fund to sell them quickly at an acceptable price.

Tobacco Related Bonds. The Fund may invest in two types of tobacco related bonds: (i) tobacco settlement revenue bonds, for which payments of interest and principal are made solely from a state's interest in the Master Settlement Agreement ("MSA") and (ii) tobacco bonds subject to a state's appropriation pledge, for which payments may come from both the MSA revenue and the applicable state's appropriation pledge.

Tobacco Settlement Revenue Bonds. For purposes of the Fund's industry concentration policy, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are secured by an issuing state's proportionate share in the MSA, a litigation settlement agreement reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions and the four largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers at that time. Subsequently, a number of smaller tobacco manufacturers signed on to the MSA, which provides for annual payments by the manufacturers to the states and other jurisdictions in perpetuity. The MSA established a base payment schedule and a formula for adjusting payments each year. Tobacco manufacturers pay into a master escrow trust based on their market share and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment.

A number of states have securitized the future flow of those payments by selling bonds, some through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue flows from the tobacco manufacturers. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus the risk to the Fund, are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments. The amount of future settlement payments is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be reduced if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by the MSA companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments, which could affect the Fund's net asset value.

The MSA and tobacco manufacturers have been and continue to be subject to various legal claims, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA, and an adverse outcome could affect the payment streams associated with the MSA or cause delays or reductions in bond payments. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges. The Statement of Additional Information contains more detailed information about the litigation related to the tobacco industry and the MSA.

"Subject to Appropriation" (STA) Tobacco Bonds. In addition to the tobacco settlement bonds discussed above, the Fund also may invest in tobacco related bonds that are subject to a state's appropriation pledge ("STA Tobacco Bonds"). STA Tobacco Bonds rely on both the revenue source from the MSA and a state appropriation pledge. These STA Tobacco Bonds are part of a larger category of municipal bonds that are subject to state appropriation. Although specific provisions may vary among states, "government appropriation" or "subject to appropriation" bonds (also referred to as "appropriation debt") are typically payable from two distinct sources: (i) a dedicated revenue source such as a municipal enterprise, a special tax or, in the case of tobacco bonds, the MSA funds, and (ii) from the issuer's general funds.

Appropriation debt differs from a state's general obligation debt in that general obligation debt is backed by the state's full faith, credit and taxing power, while appropriation debt requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to pay interest and/or principal on the bonds. The appropriation is usually made annually. While STA Tobacco Bonds offer an enhanced credit support feature, that feature is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state and states generally do not pledge the full faith, credit or taxing power of the state. The Fund considers STA Tobacco Bonds to be "municipal securities" for purposes of its concentration policies.

Municipal Sector Concentration. While the Fund's fundamental policies do not allow it to concentrate its investments (that is, to invest more than 25% of its total assets) in a single industry, certain types of municipal securities are not considered a part of any "industry" under that policy. Examples of these types of municipal securities include: general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases, special assessment and special tax bonds. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in these types of municipal securities, which may finance similar types of projects or from which the interest is paid from revenues of similar types of projects. "Similar types of projects" are projects that are related in such a way that economic, business or political developments tend to have the same impact on each similar project. For example, a change that affects one project, such as proposed legislation on the financing of the project, a shortage of the materials needed for the project, or a declining economic need for the project, would likely affect all similar projects, thereby increasing market risk. Thus, market or economic changes that affect a security issued in connection with one project also would affect securities issued in connection with similar types of projects.

Although these types of municipal securities may be related to certain industries, because they are issued by governments or their political subdivisions, these types of municipal securities are not considered a part of any industry for purposes of the Fund's industry concentration policy.

U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions.The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of the U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from state income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political and economic conditions and developments within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations. A discussion of the special considerations relating to the Fund's municipal obligations and other factors or economic conditions in those territories, commonwealths or possessions is provided in an Appendix to the Statement of Additional Information.

Ratings of Municipal Securities the Fund Buys. The Manager may rely to some extent on credit ratings by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations in evaluating the credit risk of securities selected for the Fund's portfolio. Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk.

Rating organizations might not always change their credit rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer's ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer's ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular security may change over time. The Manager also may use its own research and analysis. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial strength of the insurer. The rating categories are described in an Appendix to the Statement of Additional Information.

Most of the municipal securities the Fund buys are "investment-grade" at the time of purchase. "Investment-grade" securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories of Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Fitch or another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Fund's investment adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). While securities rated within the fourth highest category by Standard & Poor's (meaning BBB+, BBB or BBB-) or by Moody's (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered "investment-grade," they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings to a security, the Manager uses the highest rating assigned.

The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in below-investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been lowered or, in case of an unrated security, after the Fund's adviser has changed its assessment of the security's credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund's holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed this restriction for an extended period of time. If the Fund has more than 25% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the restriction.

In evaluating the credit quality of a particular security, whether rated or unrated, the Manager will normally take into consideration a number of factors including, but not limited to, the financial resources of the issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service on a security, the issuer's sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities of the issuer's management, and regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.

A reduction in the rating of a security after the Fund buys it will not require the Fund to dispose of the security. However, the Manager will evaluate such downgraded securities to determine whether to keep them in the Fund's portfolio.

Special Risks of Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in different types of "derivative" investments that are consistent with its investment strategies. A derivative is an investment whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Inverse floaters are the primary type of derivative the Fund can use.

The Fund may use derivatives to seek income or capital gain or to hedge against the risks of other investments. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks. Examples include, but are not limited to, interest rate swaps or municipal bond swaps. While the Fund may use derivatives for hedging purposes, it typically does not use hedging instruments, such as options, to hedge investment risks.

Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Manager expects it to. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. The Fund may also lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer fails to pay the amount due. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful.

An inverse floater is created as part of a "tender option bond" transaction. In most cases, in a tender option bond transaction the Fund sells a fixed-rate municipal bond (the "underlying municipal bond") to a broker dealer (the "sponsor"). The sponsor creates a trust (the "Trust") into which it deposits the underlying municipal bond. The Trust then issues and sells short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount representing a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond to third parties and the inverse floater, representing a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond, to the Fund. The interest rate on the short-term floating rate securities resets periodically, usually weekly, to a prevailing market rate and holders of these securities are granted the option to tender their securities back to the Trust for repurchase at their principal amount plus accrued interest thereon (the "purchase price") periodically, usually daily or weekly. A remarketing agent for the Trust is required to attempt to re-sell any tendered short-term floating rate securities to new investors for the purchase price. If the remarketing agent is unable to successfully re-sell the tendered short-term floating rate securities, a liquidity provider to the Trust must contribute cash to the Trust to ensure that the tendering holders receive the purchase price of their securities on the repurchase date.

The Fund may also purchase an inverse floater created as part of a tender option bond transaction not initiated by the Fund when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust.

Because holders of the short-term floating rate securities are granted the right to tender their securities to the Trust for repurchase at frequent intervals for the purchase price, with such payment effectively guaranteed by the liquidity provider, the securities generally bear short-term rates of interest commensurate with money market instruments. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the Trust, such proceeds are first used to pay the Trust's administrative expenses and accrued interest to holders of the short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest on the underlying municipal bond paid to the Fund is inversely related the rate of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond, any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater.

Typically, the terms of an inverse floater grant the Fund, as holder, the right to voluntarily terminate the Trust and to obtain the underlying municipal bond. To do so, the Fund would generally need to pay the Trust the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities and a specified portion of any market value gain on the underlying municipal bond since its deposit into the Trust. Through the exercise of such right, the Fund can "collapse" the Trust, terminate its investment in the related inverse floater and obtain the underlying municipal bond. Additionally, the Fund also typically has the right to exchange with the Trust (i) a principal amount of short-term floating rate securities held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of the inverse floater or (ii) a principal amount of the inverse floater held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of short-term floating rate securities (which are typically then sold to other investors). Through the exercise of this right, the Fund may increase (or decrease) the principal amount of short-term floating rate securities outstanding, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the amount of leverage provided by the short-term floating rate securities to the Fund's investment exposure to the underlying municipal bond.

The Fund's investments in inverse floaters involve certain risks. As short-term interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and as short-term interest rates fall, inverse floaters produce more current income. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. All inverse floaters entail some degree of leverage represented by the outstanding principal amount of the related short-term floating rate securities and the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities) will fluctuate more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond than that of an inverse floater having a lower degree of leverage. Changes in the value of an inverse floater will also be more significant than changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond because the leverage provided by the related short-term floating rate security increases the sensitivity of an inverse floater to changes in interest rates and to the market value of the underlying municipal bond. An inverse floater can be expected to underperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates is decreasing (or is already small) or when long-term interest rates are rising, but can be expected to outperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates is increasing (or is already large) or when long-term interest rates are falling. Additionally, a tender option bond transaction typically provides for the automatic termination or "collapse" of a Trust upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, usually referred to as "mandatory tender events" or "tender option termination events." These events may include, among others, a credit ratings downgrade of the underlying municipal bond below a specified level, a decrease in the market value of the underlying municipal bond below a specified amount, a bankruptcy of the liquidity provider or the inability of the remarketing agent to re-sell to new investors short-term floating rate securities that have been tendered for repurchase. Following such an event, the underlying municipal bond is generally sold for current market value and the proceeds distributed to holders of the short-term floating rate securities and inverse floater, with the holder of the inverse floater (the Fund) generally receiving the proceeds of such sale only after the holders of the short-term floating rate securities have received proceeds equal to the purchase price of their securities (and the liquidity provider is generally required to contribute cash to the Trust only in an amount sufficient to ensure that holders of the short-term floating rates securities receive the purchase price for their securities in connection with such termination of the Trust). Following the occurrence of such events, the Fund could potentially lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater.

The Fund may enter into shortfall/reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider in connection with certain inverse floaters held by the Fund. These agreements commit the Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide cash to a Trust, including following the termination of a Trust resulting from the occurrence of a "mandatory tender event." In connection with such an event and the termination of the Trust triggered thereby, the shortfall/reimbursement agreement will make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. The Manager monitors the Fund's potential exposure with respect to these agreements on a daily basis and intends to take action to terminate the Fund's investment in related inverse floaters, if it deems it appropriate to do so.

Accounting Treatment of Inverse Floaters . When the Fund creates an inverse floater in a tender option bond transaction by selling an underlying municipal bond to a sponsor for deposit into a Trust, the transaction is considered a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. As a result of such accounting treatment, the Fund includes the underlying municipal bond on its Statement of Investments and as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities (but does not separately include the related inverse floater on either). The Fund also includes a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities equal to the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the related short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Interest on the underlying municipal bond is recorded as investment income on the Fund's Statement of Operations, while interest payable on the related short-term floating rate securities is recorded as interest expense (which affects the Fund's annual operating expenses, shown earlier in this prospectus). As mentioned above, the Fund may also purchase an inverse floater created as part of a tender option bond transaction when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund includes the inverse floater related to such transaction on its Statement of Investments and interest on the security is recorded as investment income on the Fund's Statement of Operations.

Floating Rate/Variable Rate Obligations. Some municipal securities have variable or floating interest rates. Variable rates are adjustable at stated periodic intervals. Floating rates are automatically adjusted according to a specified market rate for those investments, such as, for example, the percentage of LIBOR, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index or the percentage of the prime rate of a bank. These obligations may be secured by bank letters of credit or other credit support arrangements. Inverse floaters, discussed in this prospectus, are a type of variable rate obligation.

Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow from banks, a technique referred to as "leverage," in amounts up to one-third of the Fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowings. The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing securities believed to be desirable by the Manager when available, funding amounts necessary to unwind or "collapse" trusts that issued "inverse floaters" to the Fund (an investment vehicle used by the Fund as described in this prospectus), or to contribute to such trusts to enable them to meet tenders of their other securities by the holders. The Fund currently participates in a line of credit with other Oppenheimer funds for those purposes. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes.

Borrowing for leverage will subject the Fund to greater costs (for interest payments to the lender, origination fees and related expenses) than funds that do not borrow for leverage and these other purposes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Fund's yield, especially if the cost of borrowing to buy securities exceeds the yield on the securities purchased with the proceeds of a loan. Using leverage may also make the Fund's share price more sensitive, i.e. volatile, to interest rate changes than if the Fund did not use leverage due to the tendency to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund's portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Taxability Risk. The Fund's investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer's bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund's dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal income tax.

Other Investment Strategies and Risks. The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase municipal securities on a "when-issued" basis and may purchase or sell such securities on a "delayed-delivery" basis. "When-issued" or "delayed-delivery" refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. During the period between the purchase and the settlement dates, the buyer makes no payment for the security and receives no interest. When-issued or delayed-delivery securities the Fund buys are subject to changes in value as a result of market fluctuations during that period and the value of the security on the delivery date may be more or less than the Fund paid. The Fund may lose money if the value of the security has declined below the purchase price.

As a fundamental policy, securities purchased on a "when-issued" or "delayed-delivery" basis cannot exceed 10% of the Fund's net assets.

Percentage of LIBOR Notes (PLNs). The Fund may invest in Percentage of LIBOR Notes ("PLNs") which are variable rate municipal securities based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), a widely used benchmark for short-term interest rates and used by banks for interbank loans with other banks. A PLN typically pays interest based on a percentage of a LIBOR rate for a specified time plus an established yield premium. Due to their variable rate features, PLNs will generally pay higher levels of income in a rising short-term interest rate environment and lower levels of income as short-term interest rates decline. In times of substantial market volatility, however, PLNs may not perform as anticipated. The value of a PLN also may decline due to other factors, such as changes in credit quality of the underlying bond.

The Fund's ability to engage in transactions using PLNs may be limited due to market factors. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular PLN or at any particular time, and so the Fund may not be able to close a position in a PLN when it is advantageous to do so. The Fund may also transfer a PLN to a sponsor to create an inverse floater, which may further increase the volatility of the market value of a PLN or the inverse floater.

Defaulted Securities. The Fund may purchase defaulted securities if the Manager believes that there is potential for resumption of income payments or realization of income on the sale of the securities or the collateral or other advantageous developments appear likely in the near future. Notwithstanding the Manager's belief about the resumption of income payments or realization of income, the purchase of defaulted securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial or complete loss of the Fund's investment. Defaulted securities are subject to the Fund's limitation on holding below-investment-grade securities. The Manager does not expect that this will be a significant investment strategy of the Fund.

Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund can invest without limit in zero-coupon securities. These debt obligations do not pay interest prior to their maturity date or else they do not start to pay interest at a stated coupon rate until a future date. They are issued and traded at a discount from their face amount. The discount varies as the securities approach their maturity date (or the date interest payments are scheduled to begin). When interest rates change, zero-coupon securities are subject to greater fluctuations in their value than securities that pay current interest. The Fund accrues the discount on zero-coupon bonds as tax-free income on a current basis. The Fund may have to pay out the imputed income on zero-coupon securities without receiving actual cash payments currently.

Illiquid 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. The Manager monitors holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings.

The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

Taxable Investments. The Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include, for example, hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies and policies.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its total assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, the Fund would invest in short-term municipal securities, but could also invest in U.S. Government securities or highly-rated corporate debt securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund portfolio securities or to meet anticipated redemptions of Fund shares. The income from some temporary defensive investments may not be tax-exempt, and therefore to the extent the Fund invests in these securities, it might not achieve its investment objective.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other funds and accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees or other transaction costs, which can reduce performance. However, the Fund ordinarily incurs little or no brokerage expense because most of the Fund's portfolio transactions are principal trades that do not require payment of brokerage commission. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during past fiscal years.

Changes to the Fund's Investment Policies. The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares; however, the Fund's Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.

Portfolio Holdings. The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in its semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are public filings that are required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. In addition, the Fund's portfolio holdings information, as of the end of each calendar month, may be posted and available on the Fund's website no sooner than 30 days after the end of each calendar month.

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

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., the Manager, chooses the Fund's investments and handles its day-to-day business. The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the policies established by the Fund's Board of Trustees, under an investment advisory agreement that states the Manager's responsibilities. The agreement sets the fees the Fund pays to the Manager and describes the expenses that the Fund is responsible to pay to conduct its business.

The Manager has been an investment adviser since 1960. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

Advisory Fees. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate that declines on additional assets as the Fund grows: 0.54% of the first $100 million of average annual net assets, 0.52% of the next $150 million, 0.47% of the next $1.75 billion, 0.46% of the next $3 billion, 0.45% of the next $3 billion, 0.44% of the next $6 billion and 0.42% of average annual net assets in excess of $14 billion. The Fund's advisory fee for the period ended December 31, 2011 was 0.46% of average annual net assets.

The Fund's transfer agent has voluntarily agreed to limit its fees for Classes B, C and Y to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class per fiscal year; this limit also applied to Class A prior to March 1, 2012. Effective March 1, 2012, the Fund's transfer agent has voluntarily agreed to limit its fees for Class A to 0.30% of average annual net assets per fiscal year. This limitation may be amended or withdrawn at any time without prior notice to shareholders.

The total annual operating expenses include certain interest and related expenses from the Fund's investment in inverse floaters. Under accounting rules the Fund recognized additional income in an amount that offsets those expenses. Therefore, the Fund's total returns and net asset values were not affected. If the interest and related expenses from the Fund's investment in inverse floaters were excluded the expense ratios for the Fund would be 0.75% for Class A, 1.71% for Class B, 1.63% for Class C and 0.62% for Class Y. The Fund's management fee and other annual operating expenses may vary in future years.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolio is managed by a team of investment professionals, including Daniel G. Loughran, Scott S. Cottier, Troy E. Willis, Mark R. DeMitry, Michael L. Camarella and Charles S. Pulire, who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments. Mr. Loughran has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since January 1999 and a Vice President of the Fund since October 2005. Mr. Cottier has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since September 2002 and Vice President of the Fund since October 2005. Mr. Willis has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since June 2003 and Vice President of the Fund since October 2005. Mr. DeMitry has been a portfolio manager and Vice President of the Fund since September 2006. Mr. Camarella has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since January 2008 and Vice President of the Fund since June 2009. Mr. Pulire has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since December 2010 and a Vice President of the Fund since September 2011.

MORE ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

About Your Account

Where Can You Buy Fund Shares? Oppenheimer funds may be purchased either directly or through a variety of "financial intermediaries" that offer Fund shares to their clients. Financial intermediaries include securities dealers, financial advisers, brokers, banks, trust companies, insurance companies and the sponsors of fund "supermarkets," fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs.

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 usually have different share prices. When you buy shares, be sure to specify the class of shares you wish to purchase. If you do not choose a class, your investment will be made in Class A shares. Class B shares will no longer be offered for new purchases after June 29, 2012. New Class B share account applications will be returned and any investments for existing Class B share accounts that are received after that date will be made in Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.
Class A Shares. If you buy Class A shares, you will pay an initial sales charge on investments up to $1 million for regular accounts or lesser amounts if you qualify for certain fee waivers. The amount of the sales charge will vary depending on the amount you invest. The sales charge rates for different investment amounts are listed in "About Class A Shares" below.
Class B Shares. If you buy Class B shares, you will pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge (distribution fee) over a period of approximately six years. If you sell your shares within six years after buying them, you will normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge. The amount of the contingent deferred sales charge varies depending on how long you own your shares.
Effective July 1, 2011, Class B shares were no longer available for purchase by any 457(f) plan or qualified retirement plan, except for purchases by existing OppenheimerFunds Single K plans. After June 29, 2012, Class B shares will no longer be offered for new purchases and new Class B share account applications will be returned. See "About Class B Shares" below.
Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you will pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an ongoing asset-based sales charge (distribution fee). If you sell your shares within 12 months after buying them, you will normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00%, as described in "About Class C Shares" below.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional investors that have a special agreement with the Distributor and to present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their eligible family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, its parent company and the subsidiaries of its parent company, and retirement plans established for the benefit of such individuals. See "About Class Y Shares" below.

Certain sales charge waivers may apply to purchases or redemptions of Class A, Class B, or Class C shares. More information about those waivers is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, or by clicking on the hyperlink "Sales Charge Waivers" under the heading "Fund Information" on the OppenheimerFunds website at "www.oppenheimerfunds.com."

What is the Minimum Investment? In most cases, you can buy Fund shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional investments with as little as $50. The minimum additional investment requirement does not apply to reinvested dividends from the Fund or from other Oppenheimer funds or to omnibus account purchases. A $25 minimum applies to additional investments through an Asset Builder Plan, an Automatic Exchange Plan or a government allotment plan established before November 1, 2002. Reduced initial minimums are available in certain circumstances, including under the following investment plans:

For an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Exchange Plan or a government allotment plan, the minimum initial investment is $500.

For certain fee based programs that have an agreement with the Distributor, a minimum initial investment of $250 applies.

The minimum purchase amounts listed do not apply to omnibus accounts.

Minimum Account Balance. A $12 annual "minimum balance fee" is assessed on Fund accounts with a value of less than $500. The fee is automatically deducted from each applicable Fund account annually in September. See the Statement of Additional Information for information about the circumstances under which this fee will not be assessed. Small accounts may be involuntarily redeemed by the Fund if the value has fallen below $500 for reasons other than a decline in the market value of the shares.

Choosing a Share Class. Once you decide that the Fund is an appropriate investment for you, deciding which class of shares is best suited to your needs depends on a number of factors that you should discuss with your financial advisor. The Fund's operating costs that apply to a share class and the effect of the different types of sales charges on your investment will affect your investment results over time. For example, expenses such as the distribution or service fees will reduce the net asset value and the dividends on share classes that are subject to those expenses.

Two of the factors to consider are how much you plan to invest and, while future financial needs cannot be predicted with certainty, how long you plan to hold your investment. For example, with larger purchases that qualify for a reduced initial sales charge on Class A shares, the effect of paying an initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares may be less over time than the effect of the distribution fees on other share classes. If your goals and objectives change over time and you plan to purchase additional shares, you should re-evaluate each of the factors to see if you should consider a different class of shares.

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. 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.

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, if you do not plan to hold your shares for six years or more), you should consider investing in Class C shares. That is because of the effect of the initial sales charge on Class A shares or the Class B contingent deferred sales charge if you redeem within six years.

Investing for the Longer Term. If you are investing less than $100,000 for the longer term and do not expect to need access to your money for six years or more, Class B shares may be appropriate. However, since Class B shares will no longer be offered for sale after June 29, 2012, Class B shares may not be appropriate for investors with automatic investment plans that are expected to continue after that date. See "About Class B Shares" below.

Amount of Your Investment. Your choice will also depend on how much you plan to invest. For shorter-term investments of less than $100,000, Class C shares might be the appropriate choice because there is no initial sales charge on Class C shares, and the contingent deferred sales charge does not apply to shares you redeem after holding them for one year or more. However, if you plan to invest more than $100,000, and as your investment horizon increases toward six years, Class C shares might not be as advantageous as Class A shares. That is because over time the ongoing asset-based sales charge on Class C shares will have a greater impact on your account than the reduced front-end sales charge available for Class A share purchases of $100,000 or more. 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.

The Distributor normally will not accept purchase orders from a single investor for more than $100,000 of Class B shares or for $1 million or more of Class C shares. Dealers or other financial intermediaries are responsible for determining the suitability of a particular share class for an investor.

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

How Do Share Classes Affect Payments to Your Financial Intermediary? The Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges and asset-based sales charges have the same purpose as the front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge on Class A shares: to compensate the Distributor for concessions and expenses it pays to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries for selling Fund shares. Those financial intermediaries may receive different compensation for selling different classes of shares. The Manager or Distributor may also pay dealers or other financial intermediaries additional amounts from their own resources based on the value of Fund shares held by the intermediary for its own account or held for its customers' accounts. For more information about those payments, see "Payments to Financial Intermediaries and Service Providers" below.

About Class A Shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value of the shares (described below) plus, in most cases, an initial sales charge. The Fund receives the amount of your investment, minus the sales charge, to invest for your account. In some cases, Class A purchases may qualify for a reduced sales charge or a sales charge waiver, as described below and in the Statement of Additional Information.

The Class A sales charge rate varies depending on the amount of your purchase. A portion or all of the sales charge may be retained by the Distributor or paid to your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary as a concession. The current sales charge rates and concessions paid are shown in the table below. There is no initial sales charge on Class A purchases of $1 million or more, but a contingent deferred sales charge (described below) may apply.

Amount of Purchase	Front-End Sales Charge As a Percentage of Offering Price	Front-End Sales Charge As a Percentage of Net Amount Invested	Concession As a Percentage of Offering Price
Less than $50,000	4.75%	4.98%	4.00%
$50,000 or more but less than $100,000	4.50%	4.71%	4.00%
$100,000 or more but less than $250,000	3.50%	3.63%	3.00%
$250,000 or more but less than $500,000	2.50%	2.56%	2.25%
$500,000 or more but less than $1 million	2.00%	2.04%	1.80%

Due to rounding, the actual sales charge for a particular transaction may be higher or lower than the rates listed above.

Reduced Class A Sales Charges. Under a "Right of Accumulation" or a "Letter of Intent" you may be eligible to buy Class A shares of the Fund at the reduced sales charge rate that would apply to a larger purchase. Purchases of "qualified shares" of the Fund and certain other Oppenheimer funds may be added to your Class A share purchases for calculating the applicable sales charge.

Class A, Class B and Class C shares of most Oppenheimer funds (including shares of the Fund), and Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class H units owned in adviser sold Section 529 plans, for which the Manager or the Distributor serves as the "Program Manager" or "Program Distributor" are "qualified shares" for satisfying the terms of a Right of Accumulation or a Letter of Intent. Purchases made by reinvestment of dividend or capital gain distributions are "qualified shares" for satisfying the terms of a Right of Accumulation, but are not "qualified shares" for satisfying the terms of a Letter of Intent. Purchases of Class N, Class Y or Class I shares of Oppenheimer funds, purchases under the "reinvestment privilege" described below, and purchases of Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which a sales charge has not been paid do not count as "qualified shares" for Right of Accumulation or Letter of Intent purposes. The Fund reserves the right to modify or to cease offering these programs at any time.

Right of Accumulation. To qualify for the reduced Class A sales charge that would apply to a larger purchase than you are currently making, you can add the value of qualified shares that you and your spouse currently own, and other qualified share purchases that you are currently making, to the value of your Class A share purchase of the Fund. The Distributor or the financial intermediary through which you are buying shares will determine the value of the qualified shares you currently own based on the greater of their current offering price or the amount you paid for the shares. For purposes of calculating that value, the Distributor will only take into consideration the value of shares owned as of December 31, 2007 and any shares purchased subsequently. The value of any shares that you have redeemed will not be counted. In totaling your holdings, you may count shares held in:
- your individual accounts (including IRAs, 403(b) plans and eligible 529 plans),
- your joint accounts with your spouse,
- accounts you or your spouse hold as trustees or custodians on behalf of your children who are minors.

A fiduciary can apply a right of accumulation to all shares purchased for a trust, estate or other fiduciary account that has multiple accounts (including employee benefit plans for the same employer and Single K plans for the benefit of a sole proprietor).

If you are buying shares directly from the Fund, you must inform the Distributor of your eligibility and holdings at the time of your purchase in order to qualify for the Right of Accumulation. If you are buying shares through a financial intermediary you must notify the intermediary of your eligibility for the Right of Accumulation at the time of your purchase.

To count shares held in accounts at other firms, you may be requested to provide the Distributor or your current financial intermediary with a copy of account statements showing your current qualified share holdings. Shares purchased under a Letter of Intent may also qualify as eligible holdings under a Right of Accumulation.

Letter of Intent. You may also qualify for reduced Class A sales charges by submitting a Letter of Intent to the Distributor. A Letter of Intent is a written statement of your intention to purchase a specified value of qualified shares over a 13-month period. The total amount of your intended purchases will determine the reduced sales charge rate that will apply to your Class A share purchases during that period. You must notify the Distributor or your financial intermediary of any qualifying 529 plan purchases or purchases through other financial intermediaries.

Submitting a Letter of Intent does not obligate you to purchase the specified amount of shares. If you do not complete the anticipated purchases, you will be charged the difference between the sales charge that you paid and the sales charge that would apply to 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. You may also be able to apply the Right of Accumulation to purchases you make under a Letter of Intent.

Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Although there is no initial sales charge on Class A purchases of shares of one or more of the Oppenheimer funds totaling $1 million or more, those Class A shares may be subject to a 0.75% contingent deferred sales charge if they are redeemed within an 18-month "holding period" measured from the beginning of the calendar month in which they were purchased (except for shares purchased in certain retirement plans). The "holding period" for shares purchased after February 5, 2012 will begin on the date of purchase. That sales charge will be calculated on the lesser of the original net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of purchase or the aggregate net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption.

The Class A contingent deferred sales charge does not apply to shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions and will not exceed the aggregate amount of the concessions the Distributor pays on all of your purchases of Class A shares, of all Oppenheimer funds, that are subject to the contingent deferred sales charge.

The Distributor pays concessions from its own resources equal to 0.75% of Class A purchases of $1 million or more (other than purchases by certain retirement plans). The concession will not be paid on shares purchased by exchange or shares that were previously subject to a front-end sales charge and concession.

About 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 a six year "holding period" from the beginning of the calendar month in which they were purchased, a contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. The "holding period" for shares purchased after February 5, 2012 will begin on the date of purchase. Class B shares are also subject to an asset-based sales charge that is calculated daily based on an annual rate of 0.75%. The Class B contingent deferred sales charge and asset-based sales charge are paid to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class B shares.

Class B Shares Will No Longer Be Offered For Sale After June 29, 2012. Investors can continue to purchase Class B shares through June 29, 2012, but will need to designate a different share class for purchases after that date, including for automatic purchases to retirement plans or other accounts. Dividend and/or capital gains distributions will continue to be made in Class B shares, and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds and certain account transfers will be permitted.

Any investments for existing Class B share accounts that are received after June 29, 2012 will be made in Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. and any new Class B share account applications that are received after that date will be returned.

The amount of the Class B contingent deferred sales charge will depend on the number of years since you invested, according to the following schedule:

Years Since Purchase Order was Accepted	Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on Redemptions in That Year (As % of Amount Subject to Charge)
0-1	5.0%
1-2	4.0%
2-3	3.0%
3-4	3.0%
4-5	2.0%
5-6	1.0%
More than 6	None

In the table, a "year" is a 12-month period.

Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares six years (72 months) after you purchase them. This conversion eliminates the Class B asset-based sales charge, however, the shares will be subject to the ongoing Class A fees and expenses. 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 to Class A shares, all other Class B shares that were acquired by reinvesting dividends and distributions on the converted shares will also convert.

Effective July 1, 2011, Class B shares held in certain retirement plan accounts were converted to Class A shares, or to another share class selected by the plan sponsor. Although Class B shares will no longer be offered after June 29, 2012, current Class B shares will continue to mature and convert to Class A shares according to their established conversion schedule. For further information on the conversion feature and its tax implications, see "Class B Conversion" in the Statement of Additional Information.

About 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 12 month "holding period" from the beginning of the calendar month in which they were purchased, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% may be deducted from the redemption proceeds. The "holding period" for shares purchased after February 5, 2012 will begin on the date of purchase. Class C shares are also subject to an asset-based sales charge that is calculated daily based on an annual rate of 0.75%. The Class C contingent deferred sales charge and asset-based sales charge are paid to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class C shares.

About Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share without a sales charge directly to institutional investors that have special agreements with the Distributor for that purpose. They may include insurance companies, registered investment companies, employee benefit plans and Section 529 plans, among others.

An institutional investor that buys Class Y shares for its customers' accounts may impose charges on those 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 at their Colorado office) and some of the special account features available to investors buying other classes of shares do not apply to Class Y shares. Instructions for buying, selling, exchanging or transferring Class Y shares must be submitted by the institutional investor, not by its customers for whose benefit the shares are held.

Present and former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their eligible family members) of the Fund, the Manager, its affiliates, its parent company and the subsidiaries of its parent company, and retirement plans established for the benefit of such individuals, are also permitted to purchase Class Y shares of the Fund.

The Price of Fund Shares. Shares may be purchased at their offering price which is the net asset value per share plus any initial sales charge that applies. Shares are redeemed at their net asset value per share less any contingent deferred sales charge that applies. The net asset value that applies to a purchase or redemption order is the next one calculated after the Distributor receives the order, in proper form as described in this prospectus, or after any agent appointed by the Distributor receives the order in proper form as described in this prospectus. Your financial intermediary can provide you with more information regarding the time you must submit your purchase order and whether the intermediary is an authorized agent for the receipt of purchase and redemption orders.

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 (NYSE), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, but may close earlier on some days. All references to time in this prospectus are to "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. The Fund's assets generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. Therefore, to determine net asset values, the Fund assets are generally valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices as determined by a pricing service. If the prices determined by the pricing service 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 price is received from the pricing service and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset values are calculated that day, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects the fair value.

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 prices received from the pricing services are 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 prices of the securities of issuers held by the Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers or events affecting securities markets (for example, a securities market closes early because of a natural disaster). The Fund uses fair value pricing procedures to reflect what the Manager and the Board believe to be more accurate values for the Fund's portfolio securities, although it may not always be able to accurately determine such values. There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. If you redeem shares during their applicable contingent deferred sales charge holding period, the contingent deferred sales charge generally will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. In some circumstances you may be eligible for one of the waivers described in "Sales Charge Waivers" below and in the "Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers" Appendix to the Statement of Additional Information. You must advise the Transfer Agent or your financial intermediary of your eligibility for a waiver when you place your redemption request.

A contingent deferred sales charge will be based on the net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption or the original net asset value, whichever is lower. A contingent deferred sales charge is not imposed on:

any increase in net asset value over the initial purchase price,

shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions, or

shares eligible for a sales charge waiver (see "Sales Charge Waivers" below).

The Fund redeems shares in the following order:

shares acquired by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions,

other shares that are not subject to the contingent deferred sales charge, and

shares held the longest during the holding period.

You are not charged a contingent deferred sales charge when you exchange shares of the Fund for shares of other Oppenheimer funds. However, if you exchange your shares within the applicable holding period, your original holding period will carry over to the shares you acquire, even if the new fund has a different holding period.

Sales Charge Waivers. The Fund and the Distributor offer the following opportunities to purchase shares without front-end or contingent deferred sales charges. The Fund reserves the right to amend or discontinue these programs at any time without prior notice.

Dividend Reinvestment. Dividends or capital gains distributions may be reinvested in shares of the Fund, or any of the other Oppenheimer funds into which shares of the Fund may be exchanged, without a sales charge.

Exchanges of Shares. There is no sales charge on exchanges of shares except for exchanges of Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which you have not paid a sales charge.

Reinvestment Privilege. There is no sales charge on reinvesting the proceeds from redemptions of Class A shares or Class B shares that occurred within the previous six months if you paid an initial or contingent deferred sales charge on the redeemed shares. This reinvestment privilege does not apply to reinvestment purchases made through automatic investment options. You must advise the Distributor, the Transfer Agent or your financial intermediary that you qualify for the waiver at the time you submit your purchase order.

In addition, the "Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers" Appendix to the Statement of Additional Information provides detailed information about certain other initial sales charge and contingent deferred sales charge waivers and arrangements. A description of those sales charge waivers and arrangements is available for viewing on the OppenheimerFunds website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com (follow the hyperlink "Sales Charges & Breakpoints," under the heading "Fund Information") and may also be ordered by calling 1.800.225.5677. You must advise the Distributor, the Transfer Agent or your financial intermediary that you qualify for one of those waivers at the time you submit your purchase order or redemption request.

How to Buy, Sell and Exchange Shares

Buying Shares. You can buy shares in several ways. The Distributor has appointed certain financial intermediaries, including brokers, dealers and others, as servicing agents to accept purchase and redemption orders. The Distributor or servicing agent must receive your order, in proper form, by the close of the NYSE for you to receive that day's offering price. If your order is received on a day when the NYSE is closed or after it has closed, the order will receive the next offering price that is determined. To be in proper form, your purchase order must comply with the procedures described below. If you submit a purchase request without designating which Oppenheimer fund you wish to invest in, your investments will be made in Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. This policy does not apply to purchases by or for certain retirement plans or accounts. The Distributor, in its sole discretion, may reject any purchase order for the Fund's shares.

Buying Shares Through a Financial Intermediary. You can buy shares through any servicing agent (a broker, dealer, or other financial intermediary) that has a sales agreement with the Distributor. Your servicing agent will place your order with the Distributor on your behalf. A servicing agent may charge a processing fee for that service. Your account information will be shared with the financial intermediary designated as the dealer of record for the account.

Buying Shares Through the Distributor. 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. If you want to purchase shares directly from the Distributor, complete an OppenheimerFunds new account application and mail it with a check payable in U.S. dollars to "OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc." at the address shown on the back cover. If you do not list a dealer on your application, the Distributor is designated as the broker-dealer of record, but solely for the purpose of acting as your agent to purchase the shares. For new investors who do not designate a broker-dealer, Class A shares (and Class Y shares for institutional investors) are the only purchase option. Other share classes may not be purchased by a new investor directly from the Distributor without the investor designating another registered broker-dealer. If a current investor no longer has a 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. For more information regarding undesignated investments, please call the Transfer Agent at the number on the back cover of this prospectus.

Involuntary Redemptions. In some circumstances, involuntary redemptions may be made to repay the Distributor for losses from the cancellation of share purchase orders.

Identification Requirements. 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 to open a corporate account or in certain other circumstances. The Fund or the Transfer Agent may use this information 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 verifying 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.

Suspension of Share Offering. The offering of Fund shares may be suspended during any period in which the determination of net asset value is suspended, and may be suspended by the Board at any time the Board believes it is in the Fund's best interest to do so.

Selling Shares. You can generally redeem (sell) some or all of your shares on any regular business day. You may redeem your shares by writing a letter, by wire, by telephone or on the Internet. You can also set up an Automatic Withdrawal Plan to redeem shares on a regular basis. The redemption of Fund shares may be suspended under certain circumstances described in the Statement of Additional Information. 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 your financial intermediary or the Transfer Agent for assistance.

Redemption Price. Your shares will be redeemed at net asset value less any applicable sales charge or other fees. The net asset value used will be the next one calculated after your order is received, in proper form, by the Transfer Agent or your authorized financial intermediary. To be in proper form, your redemption order must comply with the procedures described below. The redemption price for shares will change from day-to-day because the value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio and the Fund's expenses fluctuate. The redemption price will normally differ for each class of shares. The redemption price of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.

Redemptions "In-Kind." Shares may be "redeemed in-kind" under certain circumstances (such as a lack of liquidity in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions). That means that the redemption proceeds will be paid in securities from the Fund's portfolio on a pro-rata basis, possibly including illiquid securities. If the Fund redeems your shares in-kind, you may bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such securities are converted into cash.

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.

Options for Receiving Redemption Proceeds:

By Check. The Fund will normally send redemption proceeds by check to the address on your account statement.

By AccountLink. If you have linked your Fund account to your bank account with AccountLink (described below), you may have redemption proceeds transferred directly into your account. Normally the transfer to your bank is initiated on the bank business day after the redemption. You will not receive dividends on the proceeds of redeemed shares while they are waiting to be transferred.

By Wire. You can arrange to have redemption proceeds sent by Federal Funds wire to an account at a bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve wire system. The redemption proceeds will normally be transmitted on the next bank business day after the shares are redeemed. You will not receive dividends on the proceeds of redeemed shares while they are waiting to be transmitted.

Payment Delays. Payment for redeemed shares is usually made within seven days after the Transfer Agent receives redemption instructions in proper form. For accounts registered in the name of a broker-dealer, payment will normally be forwarded to the broker-dealer within three business days. The Transfer Agent may delay processing redemption payments for recently purchased shares until the purchase payment has cleared. That delay may be as much as five business days from the date the shares were purchased. That delay may be avoided if you purchase shares by Federal Funds wire or certified check. Under unusual circumstances, the right to redeem shares or the payment of redemption proceeds may be delayed or suspended as permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Oppenheimer Exchange Privilege. You can exchange all or part of your Fund shares for shares of the same class of other Oppenheimer funds that offer the exchange privilege. For example, you can exchange Class A shares of the Fund only for Class A shares of another fund. You can obtain a list of the Oppenheimer funds that are currently available for exchanges by calling a service representative at the telephone number on the back of this prospectus. The funds available for exchange can change from time to time. The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. You will receive 60 days' notice of any material change in the exchange privilege unless applicable law allows otherwise.

The OppenheimerFunds exchange privilege affords investors the ability to switch their investments among Oppenheimer funds if their investment needs change. However, there are limits on that privilege. Frequent purchases, redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's investments efficiently, increase its transaction and administrative costs and/or affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets a portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, the aggregate dollar amount and the number and frequency of trades.

If large dollar amounts are involved in exchange or redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive exchanges or purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment and the ability to exchange shares as their investment needs change. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading.

Limitations on Frequent Exchanges

30-Day Hold. If a direct shareholder exchanges shares of another Oppenheimer fund account for shares of the Fund, his or her Fund account will be "blocked" from exchanges into any other fund for a period of 30 calendar days from the date of the exchange, subject to certain exceptions described below. Likewise, if a Fund shareholder exchanges Fund shares for shares of another eligible Oppenheimer fund, that fund account will be "blocked" from further exchanges for 30 calendar days, subject to the exception described below. The block will apply to the full account balance and not just to the amount exchanged into the account. For example, if a shareholder exchanged $2,000 from one fund into another fund in which the shareholder already owned shares worth $10,000, then, following the exchange and assuming no exception applied, the full account balance ($12,000 in this example) would be blocked from exchanges into another fund for a period of 30 calendar days. A shareholder whose account is registered on the Fund's books showing the name, address and tax ID number of the beneficial owner is a "direct shareholder."

Exceptions to 30-Day Hold

Exchanges Into Money Market Funds. A direct shareholder will be permitted to exchange shares of a stock or bond fund for shares of an eligible money market fund any time, even if the shareholder has exchanged shares into the stock or bond fund during the prior 30 days. Exchanges from that money market fund into another fund will be monitored for excessive activity and the Transfer Agent may limit or refuse any exchange order from a money market fund in its discretion pursuant to the exchange policy of that fund.

Dividend Reinvestments and Share Conversions. The reinvestment of dividends or distributions from one fund to purchase shares of another fund and the conversion of shares from one share class to another class within the same fund will not be considered exchanges for purposes of imposing the 30-day limit.

Asset Allocation Programs. Investment programs by Oppenheimer "funds of funds" that entail rebalancing investments in underlying Oppenheimer funds will not be subject to these limits. However, third-party asset allocation and rebalancing programs will be subject to the 30-day limit described above. Asset allocation firms that want to exchange shares held in accounts on behalf of their customers must identify themselves to the Transfer Agent and execute an acknowledgement and agreement to abide by these policies with respect to their customers' accounts. "On-demand" exchanges outside the parameters of portfolio rebalancing programs will also be subject to the 30-day limit.

Automatic Exchange Plans. Accounts that receive exchange proceeds through automatic or systematic exchange plans that are established through the Transfer Agent will not be subject to the 30-day block as a result of those automatic or systematic exchanges but may be blocked from exchanges, under the 30-day limit, if they receive proceeds from other exchanges.

Redemptions of Shares. These exchange policy limits do not apply to redemptions of shares. Shareholders are permitted to redeem their shares on any regular business day, subject to the terms of this prospectus.

Limitations on Exchanges in Omnibus Accounts. If you hold your Fund shares through a financial advisor or other firm such as a broker-dealer, a bank, an insurance company separate account, an investment adviser, an administrator or a trustee of a retirement plan that holds your shares in an account under its name (these are sometimes referred to as "omnibus" or "street name" accounts), that financial intermediary may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term or excessive trading. You should consult your financial intermediary to find out what trading restrictions, including limitations on exchanges, may apply. The Fund, the Distributor, the Manager and the Transfer Agent encourage those financial intermediaries to apply the Fund's policies to their customers who invest indirectly in the Fund. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect excessive short-term trading activity in accounts maintained in "omnibus" or "street name" form where the underlying beneficial owners are not identified. The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor overall purchase and redemption activity in those accounts to seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the underlying owners. If evidence of possible excessive trading activity is observed by the Transfer Agent, the financial intermediary that is the registered owner will be asked to review the account activity, and to confirm to the Transfer Agent and the Fund that appropriate action has been taken to curtail any excessive trading activity.

Other Limitations on Exchanges. There are a number of other special conditions and limitations that apply to certain types of exchanges. Those conditions and circumstances are described in the section "How to Exchange Shares" in the Statement of Additional Information. For information about sales charges that may apply to exchanges of shares see the sections "Contingent Deferred Sales Charge" and "Sales Charge Waivers" in this prospectus.

Requirements for Exchanges of Shares. To exchange shares of the Fund, you must meet several conditions. The Fund may amend the following requirements at any time:

Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in your state of residence.

The selected fund must offer the exchange privilege.

You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the selected fund.

Generally, exchanges may be made only between identically registered accounts, unless all account owners send written exchange instructions with a signature guarantee.

Before exchanging into a fund, you should obtain its prospectus and should read it carefully.

Timing of Exchange Transactions. Exchanged shares are normally redeemed from one fund and the proceeds are reinvested in the fund selected for exchange 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" or "street name" account) receives an exchange request that conforms to these policies. The request must be received by the close of the NYSE that day in order to receive that day's net asset value on the exchanged shares. For requests received after the close of the NYSE the shares being exchanged will be valued at the next net asset value calculated after the request is received. The Transfer Agent may delay transmitting the proceeds from an exchange for up to five business days, however, if it determines, in its discretion, that an earlier transmittal of the redemption proceeds would be detrimental to either the fund from which shares are being exchanged or the fund into which the exchange is being made. The exchange proceeds will be invested in the new fund at the next net asset value calculated after the proceeds are received. In the event that a delay in the reinvestment of proceeds occurs, the Transfer Agent will notify you or your financial intermediary.

Taxes on Exchanges. For tax purposes, an exchange of shares of the Fund is considered a sale of those shares and a purchase of the shares of the fund into which you are exchanging. Therefore, an exchange may result in a capital gain or loss for tax purposes.

Other Limits on Share Transactions. The Fund may impose other limits on transactions that it believes would be disruptive and may refuse any purchase or exchange order.

Right to Refuse Purchase and Exchange Orders. The Distributor and/or the Transfer Agent may refuse any purchase or exchange order in their discretion and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.

Right to Terminate or Suspend Account Privileges. The Transfer Agent may, in its discretion, limit or terminate trading activity by any person, group or account that it believes would be disruptive, even if the activity has not exceeded the policies outlined in this prospectus. As part of the Transfer Agent's procedures to detect and deter excessive trading activity, the Transfer Agent may review and consider the history of frequent trading activity in all accounts in the Oppenheimer funds known to be under common ownership or control. The Transfer Agent may send a written warning to a shareholder that the Transfer Agent believes may be engaging in disruptive or excessive trading activity; however, the Transfer Agent reserves the right to suspend or terminate the ability to purchase or exchange shares, with or without warning, for any account that the Transfer Agent determines, in the exercise of its discretion, has engaged in such trading activity.

Submitting Share Transaction Requests. Share transactions may be requested by telephone or internet, in writing, through your financial intermediary, or by establishing one of the Investor Services plans described below. Certain transactions may also be submitted by fax. If an account has more than one owner, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may rely on instructions from any one owner or from the financial intermediary's representative of record for the account, unless that authority has been revoked. Class Y share transactions may only be submitted in writing, by fax, by phone through a service representative, or through an investor's designated financial intermediary.

Internet and Telephone Transaction Requests. Purchase, redemption and exchange requests may be submitted on the OppenheimerFunds website, www.oppenheimerfunds.com. Those requests may also be made by calling the telephone number on the back cover and either speaking to a service representative or accessing PhoneLink, the OppenheimerFunds automated telephone system that enables shareholders to perform certain account transactions automatically using a touch-tone phone.

You will need to obtain a user I.D. and password to execute transactions through PhoneLink or on the internet. Some internet and telephone transactions require the Oppenheimer AccountLink feature, described below, that links your Fund account with an account at a U.S. bank or other financial institution. The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning transactions.

The following policies apply to internet and telephone transactions:

Purchases through AccountLink that are submitted through PhoneLink or on the internet are limited to $100,000.

Purchases through AccountLink that are submitted by calling a service representative are limited to $250,000.

Redemptions that are submitted by telephone or on the internet and request the proceeds to be paid by check, must be made payable to all owners of record of the shares and must be sent to the address on the account statement. Telephone or internet redemptions paid by check may not exceed $100,000 in any seven-day period. This service is not available within 15 days of changing the address on an account.

Redemptions by telephone or on the internet that are sent to your bank account through AccountLink are not subject to any dollar limits.

Exchanges submitted by telephone or on the internet may be made only between accounts that are registered with the same name(s) and address.

Shares for which share certificates have been issued may not be redeemed or exchanged by telephone or on the internet.

Shares held in an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored qualified retirement plan account may not be redeemed or exchanged by telephone or on the internet.

The Transfer Agent has adopted procedures to confirm that telephone and internet instructions are genuine. Callers are required to provide service representatives with tax identification numbers and other account data and PhoneLink and internet users are required to use PIN numbers. The Transfer Agent will also send you written confirmations of share transactions. The Transfer Agent and the Fund will not be liable for losses or expenses that occur from telephone or internet instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.

Telephone or internet transaction privileges may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Fund at any time. The Fund will provide you notice of such changes whenever it is required to do so by applicable law.

Purchases and Redemptions by Federal Funds Wire. Shares purchased through the Distributor may be paid for by Federal Funds wire. Redemption proceeds may also be transmitted by wire. The minimum wire purchase or redemption is $2,500. There is a $10 fee for each wire redemption request. Before sending a wire purchase, call the Distributor's Wire Department at 1.800.225.5677 to notify the Distributor of the wire and to receive further instructions. To set up wire redemptions on your account or to arrange for a wire redemption, call the Transfer Agent at the telephone number on the back of this prospectus for information.

Written Transaction Requests. You can send purchase, exchange or redemption requests to the Transfer Agent at the address on the back cover. Your request must include:

The Fund's name;

For existing accounts, the Fund account number (from your account statement);

For new accounts, a completed account application;

For purchases, a check payable to the Fund or to OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc.;

For redemptions, any special payment instructions;

For redemptions or exchanges, the dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed or exchanged;

For redemptions or exchanges, any share certificates that have been issued (exchanges or redemptions of shares for which certificates have been issued cannot be processed until the Transfer Agent receives the certificates);

For individuals, the names and signatures of all registered owners exactly as they appear in the account registration;

For corporations, partnerships or other businesses or as a fiduciary, the name of the entity as it appears in the account registration and the names and titles of any individuals signing on its behalf; and

Other documents requested by the Transfer Agent to assure that the person purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares is properly identified and has proper authorization to carry out the transaction.

Certain Requests Require a Signature Guarantee. To protect you and the Fund from fraud, certain redemption requests must be in writing and must include a signature guarantee. A notary public seal will not be accepted for these requests (other situations might also require a signature guarantee):

You wish to redeem more than $100,000 and receive a check;

The redemption check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the account statement;

The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your account statement;

Shares are being transferred to a Fund account with a different owner or name; or

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 signature guarantee from a number of financial institutions, including:

a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,

a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,

a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities or government securities, or

a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities association or a clearing agency.

Fax Requests. You may send requests for certain types of account transactions to the Transfer Agent by fax. Please call the number on the back of this prospectus for information about which transactions may be handled this way. Transaction requests submitted by fax are subject to the same rules and restrictions as the written, telephone and internet requests described in this prospectus. However, requests that require a signature guarantee may not be submitted by fax.

Submitting Transaction Requests Through Your Financial Intermediary. You can submit purchase, redemption or exchange requests through any broker, dealer or other financial intermediary that has a special agreement with the Distributor. The broker, dealer or other intermediary will place the order with the Distributor on your behalf. A broker or dealer may charge a processing fee for that service. If your shares are held in the name of your financial intermediary, you must redeem them through that intermediary.

Intermediaries 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 intermediary performs any transaction erroneously or improperly.

Client Account Exchanges by Financial Intermediaries. The Fund and the Transfer Agent permit brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries to submit exchange requests on behalf of their customers, unless that authority has been revoked. The Fund or the Transfer Agent may limit or refuse exchange requests submitted by such financial intermediaries if, in the Transfer Agent's judgment, exercised in its discretion, the exchanges would be disruptive to any of the funds involved in the transaction.

Investment Plans and Services

AccountLink. You can use our AccountLink feature to link your Fund account with an account at a U.S. bank or other financial institution that is an Automated Clearing House (ACH) member. AccountLink lets you:

transmit funds electronically to purchase shares by internet, by telephone or automatically through an Asset Builder Plan. The purchase payment will be debited from your bank account.

have the Transfer Agent send redemption proceeds or dividends and distributions directly to your bank account.

AccountLink privileges should be requested on your account application or on your broker-dealer's settlement instructions if you buy your shares through a broker-dealer. For an established account, you can request AccountLink privileges by sending signature-guaranteed instructions and proper documentation to the Transfer Agent. AccountLink privileges will apply to each shareholder listed in the registration on the account as well as to the financial intermediary's representative of record unless and until the Transfer Agent terminates or receives written instructions terminating or changing those privileges. After you establish AccountLink for your account, any change you make to your bank account information must be made by signature-guaranteed instructions to the Transfer Agent signed by all shareholders on the account. Please call the Transfer Agent for more information.

Asset Builder Plans. Under an Asset Builder Plan, you may purchase shares of the Fund automatically. An Asset Builder Plan is available only if you have established AccountLink with a bank or other financial institution. Payments to purchase Fund shares will be debited from your linked account.

To establish an Asset Builder Plan at the time you initially purchase Fund shares, complete the "Asset Builder Plan" information on the account application. To add an Asset Builder Plan to an existing account, use the Asset Builder Enrollment Form. You may change the amount of your Asset Builder payment or you can terminate your automatic investments at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent.

After June 29, 2012, Class B shares will no longer be offered for new purchases. Shareholders with Asset Builder Plans that currently invest in Class B shares must select a different share class for purchases after that date. Any Class B share purchases that are received after June 29, 2012 will be made in Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.

The Transfer Agent may require a reasonable period after receipt of your instructions to implement any requested changes. For more details, see the account application, the Asset Builder Enrollment Form and the Statement of Additional Information. Those documents are available by contacting the Distributor or may be downloaded from our website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering Asset Builder Plans at any time without prior notice.

Automatic Redemption and Exchange Plans. The Fund has several plans that enable you to redeem shares automatically or exchange them for shares of another Oppenheimer fund on a regular basis. Please call the Transfer Agent or consult the Statement of Additional Information for details.

Less Paper, Less Waste. To avoid sending duplicate copies of Fund 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 lower printing costs and reduced mailing expense.

If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call the Transfer Agent at the number on the back of this prospectus or you may notify the Transfer Agent in writing. Multiple 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.

You may also choose to receive your account documents electronically via eDocs Direct. Visit our website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com and click the hyperlink "Sign Up for Electronic Document Delivery" under the heading "I want to..." in the left hand column, or call 1.888.470.0862 for information and instructions.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS

Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares that reimburses the Distributor for a portion of the costs of maintaining accounts and providing services to Class A shareholders. The Fund makes these payments quarterly, calculated at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of the Class A shares daily net assets. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay brokers, dealers, banks and other financial intermediaries for providing personal service and maintaining the accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares.

The Board of Trustees can increase that fee to 0.25% of average annual net assets without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified of any such change.

Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C shares to pay the Distributor for distributing those share classes, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. Under the plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an asset-based sales charge for Class B and Class C shares calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of the daily net assets of those classes. The Fund also pays a service fee under the plans at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Class B and Class C. Altogether, these fees increase the Class B and Class C annual expenses by 1.00%, calculated on the daily net assets of the applicable class. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on going basis, over time they will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.

Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor uses the service fees to compensate brokers, dealers, banks and other financial intermediaries for maintaining accounts and providing personal services to Class B and Class C shareholders in the applicable share class. The Distributor normally pays intermediaries the 0.25% service fee in advance for the first year after shares are purchased and then pays that fee periodically.

Class B Shares: 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. However, for ongoing purchases of Class B shares by OppenheimerFunds Single K plans, the Distributor may pay the intermediary the asset-based sales charge and service fee during the first year after purchase instead of paying a sales concession and the first year's service fees at the time of purchase. See the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions. After June 29, 2012, Class B shares will no longer be offered for new purchases. New Class B share account applications will be returned and any investments for existing Class B share accounts that are received after that date will be made in Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. No sales concessions will be paid on those purchases, however a concession may be paid if the acquired Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. shares are exchanged for shares of another Oppenheimer fund.

Class C Shares: At the time of a Class C share purchase, the Distributor generally pays financial intermediaries a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase price from its own resources. Therefore, the total amount, including the advance of the service fee, that the Distributor pays the intermediary at the time of a Class C share purchase is 1.00% of the purchase price. The Distributor normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class C share purchases during the first year and then pays that fee to the intermediary as an ongoing concession. See the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions to these arrangements.

Payments to Financial Intermediaries and Service Providers. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or to service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to these firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include your securities broker, dealer or financial advisor, sponsors of fund "supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA")) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.

Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans.

The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends. The Fund intends to declare dividends separately for each class of shares from net tax-exempt income and/or net taxable investment income each regular business day and to pay those dividends monthly. Daily dividends will not be declared or paid on newly-purchased shares until Federal Funds are available to the Fund from the purchase payment for such shares.

The Fund attempts to pay dividends on Class A shares at a constant level. There is no assurance that it will be able to do so. The Board of Trustees may change the targeted dividend level at any time, without prior notice to shareholders. The amount of those dividends and any other distributions paid on other classes of shares may vary over time, depending on market conditions, the composition of the Fund's portfolio, and expenses borne by the particular class of shares. Dividends and other distributions paid on Class A and Class Y shares will generally be higher than dividends for Class B and Class C shares, which normally have higher expenses than Class A or Class Y. The Fund cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or other distributions.

Capital Gains. Although the Fund does not seek capital gains, it 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 annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of ordinary income and exempt-interest 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. Long-term capital gains will be separately identified in the tax information the Fund sends you after the end of the calendar year.

Options for Receiving Dividends and Distributions. When you open your Fund account, you can specify on your application how you want to receive distributions of dividends and capital gains. To change that option, you must notify the Transfer Agent. There are four payment options available:

Reinvest All Distributions in the Fund. You can elect to reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions in additional shares of the Fund.

Reinvest Only Dividends or Capital Gains. You can elect to reinvest some types of distributions in the Fund while receiving the other types of distributions by check or having them sent to your bank account through AccountLink. Different treatment is available for distributions of dividends, short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains.

Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive all dividends and capital gains distributions by check or have them sent to your bank through AccountLink.

Reinvest Your Distributions in Another Oppenheimer Fund. You can reinvest all of your dividends and capital gains distributions in another Oppenheimer fund that is available for exchanges. You must have an existing account in the same share class in the selected fund.

Taxes. Dividends paid from net investment income earned by the Fund on tax-exempt municipal securities will be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. All or a portion of the dividends paid by the Fund that are derived from interest paid on certain "private activity bonds" may be an item of tax preference if you are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The portion of the Fund's exempt-interest dividends that was a tax preference item for the most recent calendar year is available on the OppenheimerFunds website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com/redir/tax_table_amt.jsp. The tax preference amount will vary from year to year.

Dividends and capital gains distributions may be subject to federal, state or local taxes. Any short-term capital gain distributions are taxable to you as ordinary income. Any long-term capital gain distributions are taxable to you as long-term capital gains, no matter how long you have owned shares in the Fund. The Fund may derive gains in part from municipal obligations the Fund purchased below their principal or face values. All, or a portion of these gains may be taxable to you as ordinary income rather than capital gains. Whether you reinvest your distributions in additional shares or take them in cash, the tax treatment is the same.

After the end of each calendar year the Fund will send you and the Internal Revenue Service statements showing the amount of any taxable distributions you received in the previous year and will separately identify any portion of these distributions that qualify for taxation as long-term capital gains or for any other special tax treatment.

If you are neither a lawful permanent resident nor a citizen of the United States, or if you are a foreign entity, the Fund's ordinary income dividends (which include distributions of net short-term capital gain) generally will be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax, unless a lower rate applies under an income tax treaty. For taxable years of the Fund beginning before 2012, certain distributions that may be reported by the Fund as arising from Qualified Interest Income and Qualified Short-term Capital Gains (if applicable) and paid to a foreign shareholder may be eligible for an exemption from U.S. withholding tax. To the extent the Fund's distributions are derived from dividends, they will not be eligible for this exemption.

By law, your dividends and redemption proceeds will be subject to a backup withholding tax if you are not a corporation and have not provided a taxpayer identification number or social security number or if the number you have provided is incorrect.

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 receive when you sell or exchange 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, resulting in a reduction in the basis in their shares. If this occurs, the Fund will notify you.

Cost Basis Reporting. The Fund will be required report to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), and furnish to Fund shareholders, detailed "cost basis" and "holding period" information for Fund shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 ("covered shares") that are redeemed on or after that date. These requirements do not apply to investments through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement plan. If you redeem covered shares during any year, the Fund will report the following information to the IRS and to you on Form 1099-B: (i) the "cost basis" of such shares, (ii) the gross proceeds you received on the redemption and (iii) the "holding period" for the redeemed shares.

The default method for calculating the cost basis of covered shares will be based on the average cost of all Fund shares you purchased on or after January 1, 2012 and prior to a particular redemption. If you and your financial or tax adviser determine another calculation method may be more beneficial for your individual tax situation, you will be able to elect another IRS-accepted method via the OppenheimerFunds website, www.oppenheimerfunds.com, or by notifying the Fund's Transfer Agent in writing.

You should contact your financial or tax advisor about the application of the cost basis reporting rules to you, particularly whether you should elect a cost basis calculation method or use the default average basis.

This information is only a summary of certain federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company. The Fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code, by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but it reserves the right not to qualify. The Fund qualified during its most recent 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.

Other Taxability Risk Considerations. It is possible that, because of events occurring after the date of its issuance, a municipal security owned by the Fund will be determined to pay interest that is includable in gross income for purposes of the federal income tax, and that determination could be retroactive to the date of issuance. Such a determination may cause a portion of prior distributions to shareholders to be taxable to shareholders in the year of receipt.

Legislation affecting tax-exempt municipal securities is often considered by the United States Congress and legislation affecting the exemption of interest or other income thereon for purposes of taxation by a state may be considered by the state's legislature. Court proceedings may also be filed, the outcome of which could modify the tax treatment of a state's municipal securities. There can be no assurance that legislation enacted or proposed, or actions by a court, after the date of issuance of a municipal security will not have an adverse effect on the tax status of interest or other income or the market value of that municipal security. Please consult your tax adviser regarding pending or proposed federal and state tax legislation, court proceedings and other tax considerations.

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 registered public accounting firm.

To Summary Prospectus

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

The investment objective, the principal investment policies and the principal risks of the Fund are described in the Prospectus. This SAI contains supplemental information about those policies and risks and the types of securities that the Fund's investment adviser, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the "Manager"), can select for the Fund. Additional information is also provided about the strategies that the Fund may use to try to achieve its investment objective.

The composition of the Fund's portfolio and the techniques and strategies that the Fund uses in selecting portfolio securities may vary over time. The Fund is not required to use all of the investment techniques and strategies described below in seeking its investment objective. It may use some of the investment techniques and strategies only at some times or it may not use them at all.

The municipal securities that the Fund holds to maturity are redeemable by the security's issuer at their full principal value plus any accrued interest. During the time they are held in the Fund's portfolio, however, the values of those securities may be affected by changes in general interest rates and other factors. The current values of debt securities vary inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates, meaning that after a security is purchased if interest rates increase, the security will normally decline in value and if interest rates decrease, normally its value would increase. Those changes in value generally will not result in realized gains or losses unless the Fund sells a security prior to its maturity. However, if the Fund disposes of a security prior to its maturity, the Fund could realize a capital gain or loss on the sale.

There are variations in the credit quality of municipal securities, both within a particular rating category and between categories. These variations depend on numerous factors. The factors affecting the yields of municipal securities include: general conditions in the municipal securities market, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating of the issue (if any).

Unless the Prospectus or SAI states that an investment percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at the time the Fund makes an investment (except for borrowing and investments in illiquid securities). That means the Fund does not have to buy or sell securities solely to meet percentage limits if those limits were exceeded because the value of the investment changed in proportion to the size of the Fund.

The Fund's Main Investment Policies

Municipal Securities. The types of municipal securities in which the Fund may invest are described in the Prospectus under "Principal Investment Strategies" and "About the Fund's Investments." As a fundamental policy, under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in tax-exempt securities, including securities subject to alternative minimum tax. Municipal securities are generally classified as general obligation bonds, revenue bonds and notes. A discussion of the general characteristics of these principal types of municipal securities follows below.

Municipal Bonds. Long-term municipal securities which have a maturity of more than one year (when issued) are classified as "municipal bonds." The principal classifications of long-term municipal bonds are "general obligation" bonds and "revenue" bonds (including "private activity" bonds). They may have fixed, variable or floating rates of interest or may be "zero-coupon" bonds, as described below.

Some bonds may be "callable," allowing the issuer to redeem them before their maturity date. To protect bondholders, callable bonds may be issued with provisions that prevent them from being called for a period of time. Typically, that is 5 to 10 years from the issuance date. When interest rates decline, if the call protection on a bond has expired, it is more likely that the issuer may call the bond. If that occurs, the Fund might have to reinvest the proceeds of the called bond in investments that pay a lower rate of return, which could reduce the Fund's yield.

General Obligation Bonds. The basic security behind general obligation bonds is the issuer's pledge of its full faith and credit and taxing power, if any, for the repayment of principal and the payment of interest. Issuers of general obligation bonds include states, counties, cities, towns, and regional districts. The proceeds of these obligations are used to fund a wide range of public projects, including construction or improvement of schools, highways and roads, and water and sewer systems. The rate of taxes that can be levied for the payment of debt service on these bonds may be limited or unlimited. Additionally, there may be limits on the rate or amount of special assessments that can be levied to meet these obligations.

Revenue Bonds. The principal security for a revenue bond is generally the net revenues derived from a particular facility, group of facilities, or, in some cases, the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source, such as a state's or local government's proportionate share of the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement ("MSA") (as described in the section titled "Tobacco Related Bonds"). Revenue bonds are issued to finance a wide variety of capital projects. Examples include electric, gas, water and sewer systems; highways, bridges, and tunnels; port and airport facilities; colleges and universities; and hospitals.

Although the principal security for revenue bonds may vary from bond to bond, many provide additional security in the form of a debt service reserve fund that may be used to make principal and interest payments on the issuer's obligations. Housing finance authorities have a wide range of security, including partially or fully insured mortgages, rent subsidized and/or collateralized mortgages, and/or the net revenues from housing or other public projects. Some authorities provide further security in the form of a state's ability (without obligation) to make up deficiencies in the debt service reserve fund.

Private Activity Bonds. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), includes rules governing tax-exemption for interest paid on certain types of municipal securities known as "private activity bonds" (referred to as "industrial development bonds" under pre-1986 law). The proceeds from private activity bonds are used to finance various non-governmental privately owned and/or operated facilities. Under the Internal Revenue Code, interest on private activity bonds can be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes if (i) the financed activities fall into one of seven categories of "qualified private activity bonds," consisting of mortgage bonds, veterans mortgage bonds, small issue bonds, student loan bonds, redevelopment bonds, "exempt facility bonds" and "501(c)(3) bonds," and (ii) certain tests are met. The types of facilities that may be financed with exempt facility bonds include airports, docks and wharves, water furnishing facilities, sewage facilities, solid waste disposal facilities, qualified residential rental projects, hazardous waste facilities and high speed intercity rail facilities. The types of facilities that may be financed with 501(c)(3) bonds include hospitals and educational facilities that are owned by 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations. The payment of the principal and interest on such qualified private activity bonds is dependant solely on the ability of the facility's user to meet its financial obligations, generally from the revenues derived from the operation of the financed facility, and the pledge, if any, of real and personal property financed by the bond as security for those payments.

Whether a municipal security is a private activity bond (the interest on which is taxable unless it is a qualified private activity bond) depends on whether (i) more than a certain percentage (generally 10%) of (a) the proceeds of the security are used in a trade or business carried on by a non-governmental person and (b) the payment of principal or interest on the security is directly or indirectly derived from such private use, or is secured by privately used property or payments in respect of such property, or (ii) more than the lesser of 5% of the issue or $5 million is used to make or finance loans to non-governmental persons.

Under Internal Revenue Code Section 147(a), certain types of private activity bonds that would otherwise be qualified tax-exempt private activity bonds will not be qualified for any period during which the bond is held by a person who is a "substantial user" of the facilities financed by the bond, or a "related person" of such a substantial user. Generally a "substantial user" is a non-exempt person who regularly uses part of a facility in a trade or business.

Therefore, certain municipal securities could lose their tax-exempt status retroactively if the issuer or user fails to meet certain continuing requirements regarding the use and operation of the bond-financed facilities and the use and expenditure of the proceeds of such securities for the entire period during which the securities are outstanding. The Fund makes no independent investigation into the use of such facilities or the expenditure of such proceeds. If the Fund should hold a bond that loses its tax-exempt status retroactively, there might be an adjustment to the tax-exempt income previously distributed to shareholders.

Tax-exempt interest on certain qualified private activity bonds may nonetheless be treated as a "tax preference" item subject to the alternative minimum tax (the "AMT"). If such qualified private activity bonds are held by the Fund, a proportionate share of the exempt-interest dividends paid by the Fund would constitute an item of tax preference to shareholders that are subject to the AMT.

Limitations on the amount of private activity bonds that each state may issue may reduce the supply of such bonds. The value of the Fund's portfolio could be affected by these limitations if they reduce the availability of such bonds.

Municipal Notes. Municipal securities that have a maturity of less than one year (when the security is issued) are generally known as "municipal notes." Municipal notes generally are used to provide for short-term working capital needs. Some of the types of municipal notes the Fund can invest in are described below.

Tax Anticipation Notes. These are issued to finance working capital needs of municipalities. Generally, they are issued in anticipation of various seasonal tax revenue, such as income, sales, use or other business taxes, and are payable from these specific future taxes.

Revenue Anticipation Notes. These are notes issued in expectation of receipt of other types of revenue, such as federal revenues available under federal revenue-sharing programs.

Bond Anticipation Notes. Bond anticipation notes are issued to provide interim financing until long-term financing can be arranged. The long-term bonds that are issued typically also provide the money for the repayment of the notes.

Construction Loan Notes. These are sold to provide project construction financing until permanent financing can be secured. After successful completion and acceptance of the project, it may receive permanent financing through public agencies, such as the Federal Housing Administration.

Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper. This type of short-term obligation (usually having a maturity of 270 days or less) is issued by a municipality to meet current working capital needs.

Auction Rate Securities. Auction rate securities are municipal debt instruments with long-term nominal maturities for which the interest rate is reset at specific shorter frequencies (typically every 7-35 days) through a "dutch" auction process. A dutch auction is a competitive bidding process used to determine rates on each auction date. In a dutch auction, a broker-dealer submits bids, on behalf of current and prospective investors, to the auction agent. The winning bid rate is the rate at which the auction "clears," meaning the lowest possible interest rate at which all the securities can be sold at par. This "clearing rate" is paid on the entire issue for the upcoming period and includes current holders of the auction rate securities. Investors who bid a minimum rate above the clearing rate receive no securities, while those whose minimum bid rates were at or below the clearing rate receive the clearing rate for the next period.

While the auction rate process is designed to permit the holder to sell the auction rate securities in an auction at par value at specified intervals, there is the risk that an auction will fail due to insufficient demand for the securities. Auction rate securities may be subject to changes in interest rates, including decreased interest rates. Failed auctions may impair the liquidity of auction rate securities.

Municipal Lease Obligations. The Fund's investments in municipal lease obligations may be through certificates of participation that are offered to investors by public entities. Municipal leases may take the form of a lease or an installment purchase contract issued by a state or local government authority to obtain funds to acquire a wide variety of equipment and facilities.

Some municipal lease securities may be deemed to be "illiquid" securities. The Manager may determine that certain municipal leases are liquid under guidelines that require the Manager to evaluate, among other factors, the following:

the frequency (or anticipated frequency) of trades and price quotations for such securities;

the number, quality and experience of dealers willing to purchase or sell a security and the number of other potential purchasers;

dealer undertakings to make a market in a security and the identity of such dealers; and

the nature of the security and the nature of the marketplace trades.

While the Fund holds such securities, the Manager will also evaluate the likelihood of a continuing market for these securities and their credit quality.

Municipal leases have special risk considerations. Although lease obligations do not constitute general obligations of the municipality for which the municipality's taxing power is pledged, a lease obligation is ordinarily backed by the municipality's covenant to budget for, appropriate and make the payments due under the lease obligation. However, certain lease obligations contain "non-appropriation" clauses which provide that the municipality has no obligation to make lease or installment purchase payments in future years unless money is appropriated for that purpose on a yearly basis. While the obligation might be secured by the lease, it might be difficult to dispose of that property in case of a default.

Projects financed with certificates of participation generally are not subject to state constitutional debt limitations or other statutory requirements that may apply to other municipal securities. Payments by the public entity on the obligation underlying the certificates are derived from available revenue sources. That revenue might be diverted to the funding of other municipal service projects. Payments of interest and/or principal with respect to the certificates are not guaranteed and do not constitute an obligation of a state or any of its political subdivisions.

Municipal leases may also be subject to "abatement risk." The leases underlying certain municipal lease obligations may state that lease payments are subject to partial or full abatement. That abatement might occur, for example, if material damage to or destruction of the leased property interferes with the lessee's use of the property. However, in some cases that risk might be reduced by insurance covering the leased property, or by the use of credit enhancements such as letters of credit to back lease payments, or perhaps by the lessee's maintenance of reserve monies for lease payments.

In addition to the risk of "non-appropriation," municipal lease securities do not have as highly liquid a market as conventional municipal bonds. Municipal leases, like other municipal debt obligations, are subject to the risk of non-payment of interest or repayment of principal by the issuer. The ability of issuers of municipal leases to make timely lease payments may be adversely affected in general economic downturns and as relative governmental cost burdens are reallocated among federal, state and local governmental units. A default in payment of income would result in a reduction of income to the Fund. It could also result in a reduction in the value of the municipal lease and that, as well as a default in repayment of principal, could result in a decrease in the net asset value of the Fund.

TOBACCO RELATED BONDS. The Fund may invest in two types of tobacco related bonds: (i) tobacco settlement revenue bonds, for which payments of interest and principal are made solely from a state's interest in the MSA described below, and (ii) tobacco bonds subject to a state's appropriation pledge, for which payments may come from both the MSA revenue and the applicable state's appropriation pledge.

Tobacco Settlement Revenue Bonds. The Fund may invest up to 25% (measured at the time of purchase) of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are secured by an issuing state's proportionate share in the MSA. The MSA is an agreement reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions (including Puerto Rico and Guam) and the four largest (now three) U.S. tobacco manufacturers (Philip Morris, RJ Reynolds, Brown & Williamson (merged with RJ Reynolds in 2004), and Lorillard). Subsequently, a number of smaller tobacco manufacturers signed on to the MSA. The MSA provides for payments annually by the manufacturers to the states and jurisdictions in perpetuity, in exchange for releasing all claims against the manufacturers and a pledge of no further litigation. The MSA established a base payment schedule and a formula for adjusting payments each year. Tobacco manufacturers pay into a master escrow trust based on their market share and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment as set forth in the MSA.

A number of states have securitized the future flow of those payments by selling bonds pursuant to indentures, some through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue flow that is used for principal and interest payments on the bonds. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus the risk to the Fund, are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments by the state or its governmental entity, as well as other factors. The actual amount of future settlement payments is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be reduced if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline.

On June 22, 2009, President Obama signed into law the "Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act" which extends the authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to encompass the regulation of tobacco products. Among other things, the legislation authorizes the FDA to adopt product standards for tobacco products, restrict advertising of tobacco products, and impose stricter warning labels. FDA regulation of tobacco products could result in greater decreases in tobacco consumption than originally forecasted. On August 31, 2009, a number of tobacco manufacturers filed suit in federal court in Kentucky alleging that certain of the provisions of the FDA Tobacco Act restricting the advertising and marketing of tobacco products are inconsistent with the freedom of speech guarantees of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The suit does not challenge Congress' decision to give the FDA regulatory authority over tobacco products or the vast majority of the provisions of the law.

Because tobacco settlement bonds are backed by payments from the tobacco manufacturers, and generally not by the credit of the state or local government issuing the bonds, their creditworthiness depends on the ability of tobacco manufacturers to meet their obligations. A market share loss by the MSA companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments, which could affect the Fund's net asset value.

The MSA and tobacco manufacturers have been and continue to be subject to various legal claims. An adverse outcome to any litigation matters relating to the MSA or affecting tobacco manufacturers could adversely affect the payment streams associated with the MSA or cause delays or reductions in bond payments by tobacco manufacturers. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges.

Tobacco Subject to Appropriation (STA) Bonds. In addition to the tobacco settlement bonds discussed above, the Fund also may invest in tobacco related bonds that are subject to a state's appropriation pledge ("STA Tobacco Bonds"). STA Tobacco Bonds rely on both the revenue source from the MSA and a state appropriation pledge.

These STA Tobacco Bonds are part of a larger category of municipal bonds that are subject to state appropriation. Although specific provisions may vary among states, "subject to appropriation bonds" (also referred to as "appropriation debt") are typically payable from two distinct sources: (i) a dedicated revenue source such as a municipal enterprise, a special tax or, in the case of tobacco bonds, the MSA funds, and (ii) the issuer's general funds. Appropriation debt differs from a state's general obligation debt in that general obligation debt is backed by the state's full faith, credit and taxing power, while appropriation debt requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to pay interest and/or principal on the bonds as the payments come due. The appropriation is usually made annually. While STA Tobacco Bonds offer an enhanced credit support feature, that feature is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state and states generally do not pledge the full faith, credit or taxing power of the state. The Fund considers the STA Tobacco Bonds to be "municipal securities" for purposes of its concentration policies.

Litigation Challenging the MSA. The participating manufacturers and states in the MSA are subject to several pending lawsuits challenging the MSA and/or related state legislation or statutes adopted by the states to implement the MSA (referred to herein as the "MSA-related legislation"). One or more of the lawsuits allege, among other things, that the MSA and/or the states' MSA-related legislation are void or unenforceable under the Commerce Clause and certain other provisions of the U.S. Constitution, the federal antitrust laws, federal civil rights laws, state constitutions, consumer protection laws and unfair competition laws.

To date, challenges to the MSA or the states' MSA-related legislation have not been ultimately successful, although several such challenges have survived initial appellate review of motions to dismiss or have proceeded to a stage of litigation where the ultimate outcome may be determined by, among other things, findings of fact based on extrinsic evidence as to the operation and impact of the MSA and the states' MSA-related legislation.

The MSA and states' MSA-related legislation may also continue to be challenged in the future. A determination that the MSA or states' MSA-related legislation is void or unenforceable would have a material adverse effect on the payments made by the participating manufacturers under the MSA.

Litigation Seeking Monetary Relief from Tobacco Industry Participants. The tobacco industry has been the target of litigation for many years. Both individual and class action lawsuits have been brought by or on behalf of smokers alleging that smoking has been injurious to their health, and by non-smokers alleging harm from environmental tobacco smoke, also known as "secondhand smoke." Plaintiffs seek various forms of relief, including compensatory and punitive damages aggregating billions of dollars, treble/multiple damages and other statutory damages and penalties, creation of medical monitoring and smoking cessation funds, disgorgement of profits, legal fees, and injunctive and equitable relief.

The MSA does not release participating manufacturers from liability in either individual or class action cases. Healthcare cost recovery cases have also been brought by governmental and non-governmental healthcare providers seeking, among other things, reimbursement for healthcare expenditures incurred in connection with the treatment of medical conditions allegedly caused by smoking. The participating manufacturers are also exposed to liability in these cases, because the MSA only settled healthcare cost recovery claims of the participating states. Litigation has also been brought against certain participating manufacturers and their affiliates in foreign countries.

The ultimate outcome of any pending or future lawsuit is uncertain. Verdicts of substantial magnitude that are enforceable as to one or more participating manufacturers, if they occur, could encourage commencement of additional litigation, or could negatively affect perceptions of potential triers of fact with respect to the tobacco industry, possibly to the detriment of pending litigation. An unfavorable outcome or settlement or one or more adverse judgments could result in a decision by the affected participating manufacturers to substantially increase cigarette prices, thereby reducing cigarette consumption beyond the forecasts under the MSA. In addition, the financial condition of any or all of the participating manufacturer defendants could be materially and adversely affected by the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, including bonding and litigation costs or a verdict or verdicts awarding substantial compensatory or punitive damages. Depending upon the magnitude of any such negative financial impact (and irrespective of whether the participating manufacturer is thereby rendered insolvent), an adverse outcome in one or more of the lawsuits could substantially impair the affected participating manufacturer's ability to make payments under the MSA.

Credit Ratings of Municipal Securities. Ratings by ratings organizations such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P"), and Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch") represent the respective rating agency's opinions of the credit quality of the municipal securities they undertake to rate. However, their ratings are general opinions and are not guarantees of quality. Municipal securities that have the same maturity, coupon and rating may have different yields, while other municipal securities that have the same maturity and coupon but different ratings may have the same yield.

"Investment-grade" securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories of Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Fitch or another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Fund's investment adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). While securities rated within the fourth highest category by Standard & Poor's (meaning BBB+, BBB or BBB-) or by Moody's (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered "investment-grade," they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings to a security, the Manager uses the highest rating assigned.

Below-investment-grade securities (also referred to as "junk bonds") may have a higher yield than securities rated in the higher rating categories. In addition to having a greater risk of default than higher-grade securities, there may be less of a market for these securities. As a result they may be harder to sell at an acceptable price. The additional risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated level of income from these securities, and the Fund's net asset value may be affected by declines in the value of lower-grade securities.

After the Fund buys a municipal security, the security may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced. Neither event requires the Fund to sell the security, but the Manager will consider such events in determining whether the Fund should continue to hold the security. To the extent that ratings given by Moody's, S&P, or Fitch change as a result of changes in those rating organizations or their rating systems, the Fund will attempt to use similar ratings as standards for investments in accordance with the Fund's investment policies.

The Fund may buy municipal securities that are "pre-refunded." The issuer's obligation to repay the principal value of the security is generally collateralized with U.S. Government securities placed in an escrow account. This causes the pre-refunded security to have essentially the same risks of default as a AAA-rated security.

A list of the rating categories of Moody's, S&P and Fitch for municipal securities is contained in an Appendix to this SAI.

Unrated Securities . Because the Fund purchases securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, the Manager may internally assign ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Unrated securities are considered "investment-grade" or "below-investment-grade" if judged by the Manager to be comparable to rated investment-grade or below-investment-grade securities. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Manager's credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Manager's rating does not constitute a guarantee of the credit quality. In addition, some unrated securities may not have an active trading market, which means that the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable price. In evaluating the credit quality of a particular security, whether rated or unrated, the Manager will normally take into consideration a number of factors including, but not limited to, the financial resources of the issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service on a security, the issuer's sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities of the issuer's management, and regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.

Special Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. The Fund may invest in municipal securities rated below-investment-grade up to the limits described in the Prospectus. Lower-grade securities may have a higher yield than securities rated in the higher rating categories. In addition to having a greater risk of default than higher-grade securities, there may be less of a market for these securities. As a result they may be harder to sell at an acceptable price. The additional risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated level of income from these securities, and the Fund's net asset value may be affected by declines in the value of lower-grade securities.

While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's, "BBB" by S&P, or the similar category by the Manager if an unrated security, are investment-grade, they may be subject to special risks and have some speculative characteristics.

U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund may also invest in municipal securities issued by certain territories, commonwealths and possessions of the United States that pay interest that is exempt (in the opinion of the issuer's legal counsel when the security is issued) from federal income tax. Therefore, the Fund's investments could be affected by the fiscal stability of, for example, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, or the Northern Mariana Islands. Additionally, the Fund's investments could be affected by economic, legislative, regulatory or political developments affecting issuers in those territories, commonwealths or possessions.

Floating Rate and Variable Rate Obligations. Floating or variable rate obligations may have a demand feature that allows the Fund to tender the obligation to the issuer or a third party prior to its maturity. The tender may be at par value plus accrued interest, according to the terms of the obligations.

The interest rate on a floating rate demand note is based on a market rate, such as the percentage of LIBOR, the SIFMA Municipal Swap index or a bank's prime rate and is adjusted automatically each time such rate is adjusted. The interest rate on a variable rate demand note is also based on a specified market rate but is adjusted automatically at specified intervals of not less than one year. Generally, the changes in the interest rates on such securities reduce the fluctuation in their market value. As interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less than that for fixed-rate obligations of the same maturity. The Manager may determine that an unrated floating rate or variable rate demand obligation meets the Fund's quality standards by reason of being backed by a letter of credit or guarantee issued by a bank that meets those quality standards.

Floating rate and variable rate demand notes that have a stated maturity in excess of one year may have features that permit the holder to recover the principal amount of the underlying security at specified intervals not exceeding one year and upon no more than 30 days' notice. The issuer of that type of note normally has a corresponding right in its discretion, after a given period, to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the note plus accrued interest. Generally the issuer must provide a specified number of days' notice to the holder. Floating rate or variable rate obligations that do not provide for the recovery of principal and interest within seven days are subject to the Fund's limitations on investments in illiquid securities.

Inverse Floaters. The Fund may invest in inverse floaters to seek greater income and total return. Inverse floaters, under ordinary circumstances, offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit quality. Inverse floaters may offer relatively high current income, reflecting the spread between long-term and short-term tax-exempt interest rates. As long as the municipal yield curve remains positively sloped (meaning short-term interest rates are lower than long-term interest rates), owners of inverse floaters will have the opportunity to earn interest at above market rates. If the yield curve flattens or becomes negatively sloped, the yield advantage offered by an inverse floater will diminish (or disappear).

An inverse floater is created as part of a financial transaction referred to as a "tender option bond" transaction. In most cases, in a tender option bond transaction the Fund sells a fixed-rate municipal bond (the "underlying municipal bond") to a broker dealer (the "sponsor"). The sponsor creates a trust (the "Trust") into which it deposits the underlying municipal bond. The Trust then issues and sells short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount representing a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond to third parties and a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond (referred to as the "inverse floater") to the Fund. The interest rate on the short-term floating rate securities resets periodically, usually weekly, to a prevailing market rate and holders of these securities are granted the option to tender their securities back to the Trust for repurchase at their principal amount plus accrued interest thereon (the "purchase price") periodically, usually daily or weekly. A remarketing agent for the Trust is required to attempt to re-sell any tendered short-term floating rate securities to new investors for the purchase price. If the remarketing agent is unable to successfully re-sell the tendered short-term floating rate securities, a liquidity provider to the Trust (typically an affiliate of the sponsor) must contribute cash to the Trust to ensure that the tendering holders receive the purchase price of their securities on the repurchase date.

Typically, the terms of an inverse floater grant certain rights to the Fund, as holder. For example, the Fund may have the right upon request to require that the Trust compel a tender of the short-term floating rate securities to facilitate the Fund's acquisition of the underlying municipal bond. Following such a request, the Fund pays the Trust the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities and a specified portion of any market value gain on the underlying municipal bond since its deposit into the Trust, which the Trust uses to redeem the short-term floating rate securities. The Trust then distributes the underlying municipal bond to the Fund. Similarly, the Fund may have the right to directly purchase the underlying municipal bond from the Trust by paying to the Trust the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities and a specified portion of any market value gain on the underlying municipal bond since its deposit into the Trust, which the Trust uses to redeem the short-term floating rate securities. Through the exercise either of these rights, the Fund can voluntarily terminate or "collapse" the Trust, terminate its investment in the related inverse floater and obtain the underlying municipal bond. Additionally, the Fund also typically has the right to exchange with the Trust (i) a principal amount of short-term floating rate securities held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of the inverse floater or (ii) a principal amount of the inverse floater held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of short-term floating rate securities (which are typically then sold to other investors). Through the exercise of this right, the Fund may increase (or decrease) the principal amount of short-term floating rate securities outstanding, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the amount of leverage provided by the short-term floating rate securities to the Fund's investment exposure to the underlying municipal bond.

The Fund's investments in inverse floaters involve certain risks. As short-term interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and as short-term interest rates fall, inverse floaters produce more current income. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage is reduced or eliminated. All inverse floaters entail some degree of leverage represented by the outstanding principal amount of the related short-term floating rate securities and the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage will fluctuate more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond than an inverse floater with a lower degree of leverage. Changes in the value of an inverse floater will also be more significant than changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond because the leverage provided by the related short-term floating rate security increases the sensitivity of an inverse floater to changes in interest rates and to the market value of the underlying municipal bond. An inverse floater can be expected to underperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates is decreasing (or is already small) or when long-term interest rates are rising, but can be expected to outperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates is increasing (or is already large) or when long-term interest rates are falling. Additionally, a tender option bond transaction typically provides for the automatic termination or "collapse" of a Trust upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, usually referred to as "mandatory tender events" or "tender option termination events." These events may include, among others, a credit ratings downgrade of the underlying municipal bond below a specified level, a decrease in the market value of the underlying municipal bond below a specified amount, a bankruptcy of the liquidity provider or the inability of the remarketing agent to re-sell to new investors short-term floating rate securities that have been tendered for repurchase by holders thereof. Following the occurrence of such an event, the underlying municipal bond is generally sold for current market value and the proceeds distributed to holders of the short-term floating rate securities and inverse floater, with the holder of the inverse floater (the Fund) generally receiving the proceeds of such sale only after the holders of the short-term floating rate securities have received proceeds equal to the purchase price of their securities (and the liquidity provider is generally required to contribute cash to the Trust only in an amount sufficient to ensure that the holders of the short-term floating rate securities receive the purchase price of their securities in connection with such termination of the Trust). Following the occurrence of such events, the Fund could potentially lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater.

Finally, the Fund may enter into shortfall/reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider of certain tender option bond transactions in connection with certain inverse floaters held by the Fund. These agreements commit the Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide cash to a Trust, including following the termination of a Trust resulting from the occurrence of a "mandatory tender event." In connection with the occurrence of such an event and the termination of the Trust triggered thereby, the shortfall/reimbursement agreement will effectively make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Under the standard terms of a tender option bond transaction, absent such a shortfall/reimbursement agreement, the Fund, as holder of the inverse floater, would not be required to make such a reimbursement payment to the liquidity provider. The Manager monitors the Fund's potential exposure with respect to these agreements on a daily basis and intends to take action to terminate the Fund's investment in related inverse floaters, if it deems it appropriate to do so.

When the Fund creates an inverse floater in a tender option bond transaction by selling an underlying municipal bond to a sponsor for deposit into a Trust, the transaction is considered a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. As a result of such accounting treatment, the Fund includes the underlying municipal bond on its Statement of Investments and as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities (but does not separately include the related inverse floater on either). The Fund also includes a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities equal to the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the related short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Interest on the underlying municipal bond is recorded as investment income on the Fund's Statement of Operations, while interest payable on the related short-term floating rate securities is recorded as interest expense. As mentioned above, the Fund may also purchase an inverse floater created as part of a tender option bond transaction when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund includes the inverse floater related to such transaction on its Statement of Investments and interest on the security is recorded as investment income on the Fund's Statement of Operations.

Other Investments and Investment Strategies

The Fund may also use the following types of investments and investment strategies.

Percentage of LIBOR Notes (PLNs). The Fund may invest in Percentage of LIBOR Notes ("PLNs") which are variable rate municipal securities based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), a widely used benchmark for short-term interest rates and used by banks for interbank loans with other banks. The PLN typically pays interest based on a percentage of a LIBOR rate for a specified time plus an established yield premium. Due to their variable rate features, PLNs will generally pay higher levels of income in a rising short-term interest rate environment and lower levels of income as short-term interest rates decline. In times of substantial market volatility, however, the PLNs may not perform as anticipated. The value of a PLN also may decline due to other factors, such as changes in credit quality of the underlying bond.

The Fund also may invest in PLNs that are created when a broker-dealer/sponsor deposits a municipal bond into a trust created by the sponsor. The trust issues a percentage of LIBOR floating rate certificate (i.e., the PLN) to the Fund and a residual interest certificate to third parties who receive the remaining interest on the bond after payment of the interest distribution to the PLN holder and other fees.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund can purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis, and may purchase or sell such securities on a "delayed-delivery" basis. "When-issued" or "delayed-delivery" refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery.

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. Normally the settlement date is within six months of the purchase of municipal bonds and notes. However, the Fund may, from time to time, purchase municipal securities having a settlement date more than six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. The securities are subject to change in value from market fluctuation during the settlement period. 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 Manager before settlement will affect the value of such securities and may cause loss to the Fund. No income begins to accrue to the Fund on a when-issued security until the Fund receives the security at settlement of the trade.

The Fund will engage in when-issued transactions in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of entering into the obligation. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain the security at a price and yield it considers 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 purposes of investment leverage. Although the Fund will enter into when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase transactions to acquire securities, the Fund 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 deliver or receive against a forward commitment, it may incur a gain or loss.

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

When-issued transactions and forward commitments 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 forward commitment basis, to obtain the benefit of currently higher cash yields.

Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund may buy zero-coupon and delayed interest municipal securities. Zero-coupon securities do not make periodic interest payments and are sold at a deep discount from their face value. The buyer recognizes a rate of return determined by the gradual appreciation of the security, which is redeemed at face value on a specified maturity date. This discount depends on the time remaining until maturity, as well as prevailing interest rates, the liquidity of the security and the credit quality of the issuer. In the absence of threats to the issuer's credit quality, the discount typically decreases as the maturity date approaches. Some zero-coupon securities are convertible, in that they are zero-coupon securities until a predetermined date, at which time they convert to a security with a specified coupon rate.

Because zero-coupon securities pay no interest and compound semi-annually at the rate fixed at the time of their issuance, their value is generally more volatile than the value of other debt securities. Their value may fall more dramatically than the value of interest-bearing securities when interest rates rise. When prevailing interest rates fall, zero-coupon securities tend to rise more rapidly in value because they have a fixed rate of return.

The Fund's investment in zero-coupon securities may cause the Fund to recognize income and be required to make distributions to shareholders before it receives any cash payments on the zero-coupon investment. To generate cash to satisfy those distribution requirements, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities that it otherwise might have continued to hold or to use cash flows from other sources such as the sale of Fund shares.

Puts and Standby Commitments. The Fund may acquire "stand-by commitments" or "puts" with respect to municipal securities to enhance portfolio liquidity and to try to reduce the average effective portfolio maturity. These arrangements give the Fund the right to sell the securities at a set price on demand to the issuing broker-dealer or bank. However, securities having this feature may have a relatively lower interest rate.

When the Fund buys a municipal security subject to a standby commitment to repurchase the security, the Fund is entitled to same-day settlement from the purchaser. The Fund receives an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the underlying security plus any accrued interest at the time of exercise. A put purchased in conjunction with a municipal security enables the Fund to sell the underlying security within a specified period of time at a fixed exercise price.

The Fund might purchase a standby commitment or put separately in cash or it might acquire the security subject to the standby commitment or put (at a price that reflects that additional feature). The Fund will enter into these transactions only with banks and securities dealers that, in the Manager's opinion, present minimal credit risks. The Fund's ability to exercise a put or standby commitment will depend on the ability of the bank or dealer to pay for the securities if the put or standby commitment is exercised. If the bank or dealer should default on its obligation, the Fund might not be able to recover all or a portion of any loss sustained from having to sell the security elsewhere.

Puts and standby commitments are not transferable by the Fund. They terminate if the Fund sells the underlying security to a third party. The Fund intends to enter into these arrangements to facilitate portfolio liquidity, although such arrangements might enable the Fund to sell a security at a pre-arranged price that may be higher than the prevailing market price at the time the put or standby commitment is exercised. However, the Fund might refrain from exercising a put or standby commitment if the exercise price is significantly higher than the prevailing market price, to avoid imposing a loss on the seller that could jeopardize the Fund's business relationships with the seller.

A put or standby commitment increases the cost of the security and reduces the yield otherwise available from the security. Any consideration paid by the Fund for the put or standby commitment will be reflected on the Fund's books as unrealized depreciation while the put or standby commitment is held, and a realized gain or loss when the put or commitment is exercised or expires. Interest income received by the Fund from municipal securities subject to puts or stand-by commitments may not qualify as tax-exempt in its hands if the terms of the put or stand-by commitment cause the Fund not to be treated as the tax owner of the underlying municipal securities.

Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may acquire securities subject to repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements may be acquired for temporary defensive purposes, to maintain liquidity to meet anticipated share redemptions, pending the investment of the proceeds from sales of shares, or pending the settlement of portfolio securities transactions. In a repurchase transaction, the purchaser buys a security from, and simultaneously resells it to, an approved institution 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 institutions include U.S. commercial banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks, or broker-dealers that have been designated as primary dealers in government securities. Institutions must meet credit requirements set by the Manager from time to time.

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

Repurchase agreements are considered "loans" under the Investment Company Act and are collateralized by the underlying security. 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 institution fails to pay the repurchase price on the delivery date, there may be costs incurred in disposing of the collateral and losses if there is a delay in the ability to do so. The Manager will monitor the institution's creditworthiness to confirm that it is financially sound and will continuously monitor the collateral's value.

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Fund, along with the affiliated entities managed by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint repurchase agreement 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.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may engage in reverse repurchase agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale of a debt obligation to a party for a specified price, with the simultaneous agreement to repurchase it from that party on a future date at a higher price. These transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold under a reverse repurchase agreement could decline below the price that the Fund is required to repurchase them. The Fund will identify liquid assets on its books to cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements until payment is made to the other party.

Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act. It can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing securities believed to be desirable by the Manager. The Fund also can borrow from banks and other lenders to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes. When the Fund borrows money, it is using a speculative investment technique known as "leverage," and changes in the value of the Fund's investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow. Under the Fund's investment policies, the Fund may not borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption from that Act that applies to the Fund. Currently, under the Investment Company Act, a mutual fund may borrow only from banks (other than for emergency purposes) 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 borrowings, meaning that the value of those assets must be at least equal to 300% of the amount borrowed. If the value of the Fund's assets fails to meet this 300% asset coverage requirement, the Fund will reduce the amount of its borrowings 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 and for a disadvantageous price.

The Fund may also borrow up to 5% of its total assets for temporary or emergency purposes from any lender. Under the Investment Company Act, there is a rebuttable presumption that a loan is temporary if it is repaid within 60 days and not extended or renewed.

The Fund will pay interest and may pay other fees in connection with loans. Interest expense and the amount of any other fees incurred by the Fund in connection with loans will raise the overall expenses of the Fund and may reduce its returns. If the Fund does borrow, its expenses will usually be greater than comparable funds that do not borrow. The interest and fees paid on a loan might be more or less than the yield on any securities purchased with the loan proceeds. If those costs are more than the yield on the securities purchased, the Fund's return will be reduced. Additionally, on the maturity date for any loan, the Fund must have sufficient cash available to pay back the lender the amount borrowed.

Loans are typically secured by assets of the Fund, meaning that the Fund will grant the lender a security interest in some or all of its assets to secure its performance under the related loan. If the Fund were to default in the payment of interest or other fees in connection with a secured loan or fail to repay the principal amount of that loan on maturity or fail to satisfy other obligations it may owe to the lender in connection with that loan, the lender would have certain rights to foreclose on, take, and liquidate those assets of the Fund in which the lender was granted a security interest in order to satisfy any outstanding amounts the Fund owed in connection with the loan.

The Fund participates in a secured line of credit (the "Line of Credit") with certain commercial paper conduits, as lenders, Citibank, N.A. as a secondary lender and administrator, and other banks, each as lenders from time to time. The Line of Credit enables the Fund to participate with certain other Oppenheimer funds, as borrowers, in a committed, secured borrowing facility that permits borrowings by the participants of up to a maximum aggregate amount, as negotiated from time to time. Borrowings by the Fund under the Line of Credit can be used to purchase securities for investment or for other purposes. The Fund's Board determined that the Fund's participation in the Line of Credit is consistent with the Fund's investment objective and policies and is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Under the Line of Credit, in the event that the commercial paper conduit lenders are unable or unwilling to make loans, Citibank, N.A. and the other bank lenders, if any, would then be required to make those loans. Under the Line of Credit, interest is charged to the Fund, based on its borrowings, at current commercial rates. Additionally, the Fund will pay its pro rata portion of a loan commitment fee for the Line of Credit, and pays additional fees annually to the lenders on its outstanding borrowings for management and administration of the facility. The Fund can prepay loans and terminate its participation in the Line of Credit at any time upon prior notice to Citibank, N.A. As a borrower under the Line of Credit, the Fund has certain rights and remedies under state and federal law comparable to those it would have with respect to a loan from a bank.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Generally, an illiquid asset is an asset that cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which it has been valued. Under the policies and procedures established by the Board, the Manager determines the liquidity of portfolio investments. The Manager monitors holdings of illiquid and restricted securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity. Among the types of illiquid securities are repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days.

Restricted securities acquired through private placements have contractual restrictions on their public resale that might limit the ability to value or to dispose of the securities and might lower the price that could be realized on a sale. To sell a restricted security that is not registered under applicable securities laws, the securities might need to be registered. The expense of registering restricted securities may be negotiated with the issuer at the time of purchase. If the securities must be registered in order to be sold, a significant period may elapse between the time the decision is made to sell the security and the time the security is registered. There is a risk of downward price fluctuation during that period.

Limitations that apply to purchases of restricted securities do not limit purchases of restricted securities that are eligible for sale to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, if those securities have been determined to be liquid by the Manager under Board-approved guidelines. Those guidelines take into account the trading activity for the 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, holdings of that security may be considered to be illiquid.

Liquidity Facility. The Fund can participate in a program offered by ReFlow, LLC ("ReFlow") which provides additional liquidity to help the Fund meet shareholder redemptions without having to liquidate portfolio securities or borrow money, each of which imposes certain costs on the Fund. ReFlow is designed to provide an alternative source of funding to help meet shareholder redemptions while minimizing the Fund's costs and cash flow disruptions (compared to selling portfolio securities or other liquidity facilities such as a line of credit) and allowing the Fund to remain more fully invested. ReFlow provides this liquidity by being prepared to purchase Fund shares, at the Fund's closing net asset value, equal to the amount of the Fund's net redemptions on any given day. On subsequent days when the Fund experiences net subscriptions, ReFlow redeems its holdings at the Fund's net asset value on that day. When the Fund participates in the ReFlow program, it pays ReFlow a fee at a rate determined by a daily auction with other participating mutual funds in the ReFlow program. There is no assurance that ReFlow will have sufficient funds available to meet the Fund's liquidity needs on a particular day and ReFlow is prohibited from acquiring more than 3% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. Securities lending pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the "Securities Lending Agreement") with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs"), may be used to attempt to increase income. Loans of portfolio securities must comply with all applicable regulations and with the Fund's Securities Lending Procedures adopted by the Board. The terms of any loans must also meet applicable tests under the Internal Revenue Code.

There are certain risks in connection with securities lending, including possible delays in receiving additional collateral to secure a loan, or a delay or expenses in recovery of the loaned securities. Goldman Sachs has agreed, in general, to guarantee the obligations of borrowers to return loaned securities and to be responsible for certain expenses relating to securities lending. Under the Securities Lending Agreement, the Fund's securities lending procedures and applicable regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), the Fund must receive collateral from the borrower consisting of cash, bank letters of credit or securities of the U.S. government (or its agencies or instrumentalities). On each business day, the amount of collateral that the Fund has received must at least equal the value of the loaned securities. If the Fund receives cash collateral from the borrower, the Manager, in its capacity as the Fund's collateral administrator, may invest that cash in certain high quality, short-term investments, including in money market funds advised by the Manager. The Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of such money market funds, including the advisory fee payable to the Manager or its affiliate as adviser to such funds. The Manager may charge a collateral administration fee of 0.08% on the value of cash collateral invested in other securities. All of the Fund's collateral investments must comply with its securities lending procedures. The Fund will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including the risk that the Fund may lose money on the investment or may fail to earn sufficient income to meet its obligations to the borrower.

The terms of the loans must permit the Fund to recall loaned securities on five business days' notice and the Fund will seek to recall loaned securities in time to vote on any matters that the Manager determines would have a material effect on the Fund's investment. The Securities Lending Agreement may be terminated by either Goldman Sachs or the Fund on 30 days' written notice.

The Fund limits loans of portfolio securities to not more than 25% of its net assets.

Other Derivative Investments. Certain derivatives, such as options, futures, indexed securities and entering into swap agreements, can be used to increase or decrease the Fund's exposure to changing security prices, interest rates or other factors that affect the value of securities. However, these techniques could result in losses to the Funds if the Manager judges market conditions incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not correlate well with the Fund's other investments. These techniques can cause losses if the counterparty does not perform its promises. An additional risk of investing in municipal securities that are derivative investments is that their market value could be expected to vary to a much greater extent than the market value of municipal securities that are not derivative investments but have similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturities.

Hedging. The Fund may use hedging to attempt to protect against declines in the market value of its portfolio, to permit the Funds to retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities that have appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons. To do so, the Fund may:

sell interest rate futures or municipal bond index futures,

buy puts on such futures or securities, or

write covered calls on securities, broadly-based municipal bond indices, interest rate futures or municipal bond index futures.

Covered calls may also be written on debt securities to attempt to increase the Fund's income, but that income would not be tax-exempt. Therefore it is unlikely that the Fund would write covered calls for that purpose.

The Fund may also use hedging to establish a position in the debt securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing individual debt securities. In that case the Fund will normally seek to purchase the securities, and then terminate that hedging position. For this type of hedging, the Fund may:

buy interest rate futures or municipal bond index futures, or

buy calls on such futures or on securities.

The Fund is not obligated to use hedging instruments, even though it is permitted to use them in the Manager's discretion, as described below. The Fund's strategy of hedging with futures and options on futures will be incidental to the Fund's investment activities in the underlying cash market. The particular hedging instruments the Fund can use are described below. The Fund may employ new hedging instruments and strategies when they are developed, if those investment methods are consistent with the Fund's investment objective and are permissible under applicable regulations governing the Fund.

Futures. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts relating to debt securities (these are called "interest rate futures"), and municipal bond indices (these are referred to as "municipal bond index futures").

An interest rate future obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to take) cash or a specific type of debt security to settle the futures transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting contract to close out the futures position.

A "municipal bond index" assigns relative values to the municipal bonds in the index, and is used as the basis for trading long-term municipal bond futures contracts. Municipal bond index futures are similar to interest rate futures except that settlement is made only in cash. The obligation under the contract may also be satisfied by entering into an offsetting contract. The strategies which the Fund employs in using municipal bond index futures are similar to those with regard to interest rate futures.

No money is paid by or received by the Fund on the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Upon entering into a futures transaction, the Fund will be required to deposit an initial margin payment in cash or U.S. Government securities 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 certain 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 the 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 additional cash is required to be paid by or released to the Fund. Any gain or loss is then realized by the Fund on the future for tax purposes. Although interest rate futures by their terms call for settlement by the delivery of debt securities, in most cases the obligation is fulfilled without such delivery by entering into an offsetting transaction. All futures transactions are effected through a clearing house associated with the exchange on which the contracts are traded.

The Fund may concurrently buy and sell futures contracts in a strategy anticipating that the future the Fund purchased will perform better than the future the Fund sold. For example, the Fund might buy municipal bond futures and concurrently sell U.S. Treasury Bond futures (a type of interest rate future). The Fund would benefit if municipal bonds outperform U.S. Treasury Bonds on a duration-adjusted basis.

Duration is a volatility measure that refers to the expected percentage change in the value of a bond resulting from a change in general interest rates (measured by each 1% change in the rates on U.S. Treasury securities). For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1% increase in general interest rates would be expected to cause the value of the bond to decline about 3%. There are risks that this type of futures strategy will not be successful. U.S. Treasury bonds might perform better on a duration-adjusted basis than municipal bonds, and the assumptions about duration that were used might be incorrect (in this case, the duration of municipal bonds relative to U.S. Treasury Bonds might have been greater than anticipated).

Put and Call Options. Put options (sometimes referred to as "puts") give the holder the right to sell an asset for an agreed-upon price. Call options (sometimes referred to as "calls") give the holder the right to buy an asset at an agreed-upon price.

Writing Covered Call Options. The Fund may write (that is, sell) call options. The Fund's call writing is subject to a number of restrictions:

After the Fund writes a call, not more than 20% of the Fund's total assets may be subject to calls.
Each call the Fund writes must be "covered" while it is outstanding. That means the Fund must own the investment on which the call was written.
The Fund may write calls on futures contracts whether or not it owns them.

When the Fund writes a call on a security, it receives cash (a premium). The Fund agrees to sell the underlying investment 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 retained 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 the call 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 the 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.

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. OCC will release the securities on the expiration of the calls or upon the Fund's entering into a closing purchase transaction.

When 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 would 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"). When the Fund writes an OTC option, it will treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on illiquid securities) the mark-to-market value of any OTC option held by it, 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 was more or less than the price of the call the Fund purchased to close out the transaction. A profit may also be realized if the call lapses unexercised, because the Fund retains the underlying investment and the premium received. Any such profits are considered short-term capital gains for federal tax purposes, as are premiums on lapsed calls. When distributed by the Funds they are taxable as ordinary income.

Writing Uncovered Call Options on Futures Contracts. The Funds may also write calls on futures contracts without owning the futures contract or securities deliverable under the contract. To do so, at the time the call is written, the Fund must cover the call by segregating in escrow an equivalent dollar value of liquid assets. The Fund will segregate additional liquid assets if the value of the escrowed assets drops below 100% of the current value of the future. Because of this escrow requirement, in no circumstances would the Fund's receipt of an exercise notice as to that future put the Fund in a "short" futures position.

Selling Put Options. A put option on a security or a securities index gives the purchaser the right, during the option period, to sell the underlying investment to the seller at the exercise price. When selling (writing) a put option on a security, the option must be covered by the Fund by identifying liquid assets with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the put option, to secure the obligation. In this case the Fund forgoes the opportunity to invest, sell or write calls against the identified assets.

The seller of a put is obligated to buy the underlying investment at the exercise price even if the market value of the investment falls below that price. If the price of the underlying investment remains higher than the exercise price, it is unlikely that a put option would be exercised. If a put option is not exercised, the seller would realize a gain of the amount of the premium received less the transaction costs incurred. If the put is exercised, the exercise price will usually exceed the market value of the underlying investment at that time. In that case, the seller could incur a loss. If the underlying investment is resold at that time, the loss would be equal to the exercise price and any transaction costs minus the amount of the premium received and the amount the seller received from the resale of the underlying investment. Settlement of a put on an index is in cash rather than by delivery of the underlying investment. Any profits earned by the Fund from writing put options are considered short-term capital gains for federal income tax purposes, and are taxable as ordinary income when distributed to shareholders.

The Fund will not write puts if, as a result, more than 20% of the Fund's total assets would be required to be segregated to cover such put options.

Purchasing Puts and Calls. The Fund may buy calls only on securities, broadly-based municipal bond indices, municipal bond index futures and interest rate futures. It may also buy calls to close out a call it has written, as discussed above. Calls the Fund buys must be listed on a securities or commodities exchange, or quoted on NASDAQ®, or traded in the over-the-counter market. A call or put option may not be purchased if the purchase would cause the value of all the Fund's put and call options to exceed 5% of its total assets.

When the Fund purchases a call (other than in a closing purchase transaction), it pays a premium. For calls on securities that the Fund buys, it has 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 (1) the call is sold at a profit or (2) the call is exercised when the market price of the underlying investment is above the sum of the exercise price plus the transaction costs and premium paid for the call. If the call is not exercised nor sold (whether or not at a profit), it will become worthless at its expiration date. In that case the Fund will lose its premium payment and the right to purchase the underlying investment.

Calls on municipal bond indices, interest rate futures and municipal bond index futures are settled in cash rather than by delivering the underlying investment. Gain or loss depends on changes in the securities included in the index in question (and thus on price movements in the debt securities market generally) rather than on changes in price of the individual futures contract.

The Fund may buy only those puts that relate to securities that it owns, broadly-based municipal bond indices, municipal bond index futures or interest rate futures (whether or not the Fund owns the futures).

When the Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium. The Fund then has the right 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. Puts on municipal bond indices are settled in cash. Buying a put on a debt security, interest rate future or municipal bond index future the Fund owns enables it to protect itself during the put period against a decline in the value of the underlying investment below the exercise price. 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 lose its premium payment and the right to sell the underlying investment. A put may be sold prior to expiration (whether or not at a profit).

Risks of Derivatives and Hedging Instruments . The use of derivatives and hedging instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than those required for normal portfolio management. These risks include the following:

Selection Risk. If the Manager uses an option at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, or if the prices of its options positions are not correlated with its other investments, a hedging strategy may reduce returns or cause losses. If a covered call option is sold on an investment that increases in value, if the call is exercised, no gain will be realized on the increase in the investment's value above the call price. A put option on a security that does not decline in value will cost the amount of the purchase price and without providing any benefit if it cannot be resold.

Liquidity Risk. Losses might also be realized if a position could not be closed out because of illiquidity in the market for an option. 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.

Leverage Risk. Premiums paid for options are small compared to the market value of the underlying investments. Consequently, options may involve large amounts of leverage, which could result in the Fund's net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying investments.

Correlation Risk. If the Fund sells futures or purchases puts on broadly-based indices or futures to attempt to protect against declines in the value of its portfolio securities, it may be subject to the risk that the prices of the futures or the applicable index will not correlate with the prices of those portfolio securities. For example, the market or the index might rise but the value of the hedged portfolio securities might decline. In that case, the Fund would lose money on the hedging instruments and also experience a decline in the value of the portfolio securities. Over time, however, the value of a diversified portfolio of securities will tend to move in the same direction as the indices upon which related hedging instruments are based.

The risk of imperfect correlation increases as the composition of the 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 a greater dollar amount of hedging instruments than the dollar amount of portfolio securities being hedged, particularly if the historical price volatility of the portfolio securities being hedged is more than the historical volatility of the applicable index.

Transaction Costs. Option activities might also affect portfolio turnover rates and brokerage commissions. The portfolio turnover rate might increase if the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities that are subject to call options it has sold or if it exercises put options it has bought. Although the decision to exercise a put it holds is within the Fund's control, holding a put might create an additional reason to purchase a security. There may also be a brokerage commission on each purchase or sale of a put or call option. Those commissions may be higher on a relative basis than the commissions for direct purchases or sales of the underlying investments. A brokerage commission may also be paid for each purchase or sale of an underlying investment in connection with the exercise of a put or call.

Interest Rate Swaps. In an interest rate swap, the Fund and another party exchange their rights to receive interest payments on a security or payments based on a reference rate. For example, they might swap the right to receive floating rate payments based on a reference rate such as "LIBOR" for the right to receive fixed rate payments.

Interest rate swaps entail both interest rate risk and credit risk. There is a risk that based on movements of interest rates, the payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments it receives. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty might default. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund may lose the net amount of contractual interest payments that it has not yet received.

The Fund may not enter into interest rate swaps with respect to more than 25% of its total assets.

Asset Coverage for Certain Investments and Trading Practices. Typically, the Fund's investments in fixed-income securities do not involve any future financial obligations. However, the Fund may make investments or employ trading practices that obligate the Fund, on a fixed or contingent basis, to deliver an asset or make a cash payment to another party in the future. The Fund will comply with guidance from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and other applicable regulatory bodies with respect to coverage of certain investments and trading practices. This guidance may require earmarking or segregation by the Fund of cash or liquid securities with its custodian or a designated sub-custodian to the extent the Fund's obligations with respect to these strategies are not otherwise "covered" through ownership of the underlying security or financial instrument or by other portfolio positions, or by other means consistent with applicable regulatory policies. In some cases, SEC guidance permits the Fund to cover its obligation by entering into an offsetting transaction.

With respect to certain derivative instruments (e.g., futures contracts) that are not required to "cash settle", the Fund must cover open positions by earmarking or otherwise segregating liquid assets in an amount equal to the market value or full notional amount of the derivative instrument(s). However, for derivative instrument(s) that are required to cash-settle, the Fund is permitted to earmark or otherwise segregate liquid assets in an amount equal to the Fund's daily marked to market (or net) obligation, if any, rather than the market value or full notional amount. By setting aside or "earmarking" assets equal to only its net obligation under cash-settled derivative instruments, the Fund will have the ability to utilize these instruments to a greater extent than if the Fund were required to segregate or "earmark" assets equal to the full market or notional amount value of the instrument.

The Fund's approach to asset coverage may vary among different types of swaps. With respect to most swap agreements (but excluding, for example, credit default swaps), the Fund calculates the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a "net basis" (i.e., the two payment streams are netted out with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments). Consequently the Fund 's current obligations (or rights) under these swap agreements will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the "net amount"). The Fund's current obligation, if any, under a swap agreement will generally be covered by earmarking or otherwise segregating cash or liquid securities having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to the accrued unpaid net amounts owed. To the extent that the obligations of the parties under these swaps are not calculated on a net basis, the amount earmarked or otherwise segregated will be the full amount of the Fund's obligations, if any. Alternatively, the Fund could cover its obligation by other means consistent with applicable regulatory policies.

Earmarking or otherwise segregating a large percentage of the Fund's assets could impede the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's portfolio.

Regulatory Aspects of Derivatives and Hedging Instruments. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has eliminated limitations on futures trading by certain regulated entities, including registered investment companies. Consequently, registered investment companies may engage in unlimited futures transactions and options thereon by claiming an exclusion from regulation as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act.

Options transactions 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 purchased, sold or held through one or more different exchanges or are held in one or more accounts or through one or more brokers. Thus, the number of options that can be sold by an investment company advised by the Manager may be affected by options written or held by other investment companies advised by the Manager or affiliated entities. 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.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. The securities the Fund may invest in for temporary defensive purposes include the following:

short-term municipal securities;

obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities;

corporate debt securities rated within the three highest grades by a nationally recognized rating agency;

commercial paper rated "A-1" by S&P, or a comparable rating by another nationally recognized rating agency; and

certificates of deposit of domestic banks with assets of $1 billion or more.

The Fund also might hold these types of securities pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of portfolio securities or to meet anticipated redemptions of Fund shares. The income from some of the temporary defensive or interim investments may not be tax-exempt. Therefore, when making those investments, the Fund might not achieve its objective.

Taxable Investments. While the Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes, it does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies and policies. Taxable investments include, for example, hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes.

At times, in connection with the restructuring of a municipal bond issuer either outside of bankruptcy court in a negotiated workout or in the context of bankruptcy proceedings, the Fund may determine or be required to accept equity or taxable debt securities, or the underlying collateral (which may include real estate) from the issuer in exchange for all or a portion of the Fund's holdings in the municipal security. Although the Manager will attempt to sell those assets as soon as reasonably practicable in most cases, depending upon, among other things, the Manager's valuation of the potential value of such assets in relation to the price that could be obtained by the Fund at any given time upon sale thereof, the Fund may determine to hold such securities or assets in its portfolio for limited period of time in order to liquidate the assets in a manner that maximizes their value to the Fund.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund from buying and selling investments is known as "portfolio turnover." Short-term trading increases the rate of portfolio turnover and could increase the Fund's transaction costs. However, the Fund ordinarily incurs little or no brokerage expense because most of the Fund's portfolio transactions are principal trades that do not require payment of brokerage commissions.

The Fund ordinarily does not trade securities to achieve short-term capital gains, because such gains would not be tax-exempt income. To a limited degree, the Fund may engage in active and frequent short-term trading to attempt to take advantage of short-term market variations. It may also do so to dispose of a portfolio security prior to its maturity. That might be done if, on the basis of a revised credit evaluation of the issuer or other considerations, the Manager believes such disposition is advisable or it needs to generate cash to satisfy requests to redeem Fund shares. In those cases, the Fund may realize a capital gain or loss on its investments. The Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate normally is not expected to exceed 100%. The Financial Highlights table at the end of the Prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during the past five fiscal years.

Investment Restrictions

Fundamental Policies. The Fund has adopted policies and restrictions to govern its investments. Under the Investment Company Act, fundamental policies are those policies that can be changed only by the vote of a "majority" of the Fund's outstanding voting securities, which is defined as the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

67% or more of the shares present or represented by proxy at a shareholder meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy; or

more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other policies described in the Prospectus or this SAI are "fundamental" only if they are identified as such. The Fund's Board of Trustees 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 SAI, as appropriate. The Fund's most significant investment policies are described in the Prospectus.

Other Fundamental Investment Restrictions. The following investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund.

The Fund may not borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.

The Fund cannot make loans, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.

The Fund may not underwrite securities of other issuers, except to the extent that a Fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, when reselling securities held in its own portfolio.

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

The Fund cannot invest in real estate, physical commodities or commodity contracts, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.

The Fund cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one industry. That limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities or securities issued by investment companies. Nor does that limit apply to municipal securities in general or to New York municipal securities.

The Fund cannot issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.

Unless the Prospectus or this SAI states that a percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at the time the Fund makes an investment. That means the Fund is not required to sell securities to meet the percentage limits if the value of the investment increases in proportion to the size of the Fund. Percentage limits on borrowing and investments in illiquid securities apply on an ongoing basis.

Non-Fundamental Restrictions. The Fund has the following additional operating policies that are not "fundamental" and can be changed by the Board without shareholder approval.

The Fund may not acquire more than 3% of the voting securities issued by any one investment company. An exception is if the acquisition results from a dividend or a merger, consolidation or other reorganization. Also, the Fund cannot invest more than 5% of its assets in securities issued by any one investment company or invest more than 5% of the Fund's assets in securities of other investment companies.

For purposes of the Fund's investment restriction as to concentration described above, its policy with respect to concentration of investments shall be interpreted as prohibiting the Fund from making an investment in any given industry if, upon making the proposed investment, 25% or more of the value of its total assets would be invested in such industry.

For the purposes of the Fund's policy regarding minimum investments in the tax-exempt securities, the minimum investment requirement is based on net assets plus borrowings used for investment purposes.

Diversification. The Fund intends to be "diversified" as defined in the Investment Company Act and to satisfy the restrictions against investing too much of its assets in any "issuer" as set forth in the restrictions above. In implementing this policy, the identification of the issuer of a municipal security depends on the terms and conditions of the security. When the assets and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other political subdivision are separate from those of the government creating it and the security is backed only by the assets and revenues of the subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality, the latter would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly, if an industrial development bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental user, then that user would be deemed to be the sole issuer. However, if in either case the creating government or some other entity guarantees a security, the guarantee would be considered a separate security and would be treated as an issue of such government or other entity.

Applying the Restriction Against Concentration. In implementing the Fund's policy not to concentrate its investments, the Manager will consider a non-governmental user of facilities financed by private activity bonds as being in a particular industry. That is done even though the bonds are municipal securities, as to which the Fund has no concentration limitation. The Manager categorizes tobacco industry related municipal bonds as either tobacco settlement revenue bonds or tobacco bonds that are subject to appropriation ("STA Bonds"). For purposes of the Funds' industry concentration policies, STA Bonds are considered to be "municipal" bonds, as distinguished from "tobacco" bonds. As municipal bonds, STA Bonds are not within any industry and are not subject to the Funds' industry concentration policies.

Other types of municipal securities that are not considered a part of any "industry" under the Fund's industry concentration policy include: general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases, special assessment and special tax bonds. Although these types of municipal securities may be related to certain industries, because they are issued by governments or their political subdivisions rather than non-governmental users, these types of municipal securities are not considered a part of an industry for purposes of the Fund's industry concentration policy.

Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in these types of municipal securities, which may finance similar types of projects or from which the interest is paid from revenues of similar types of projects. "Similar types of projects" are projects that are related in such a way that economic, business or political developments tend to have the same impact on each similar project. For example, a change that affects one project, such as proposed legislation on the financing of the project, a shortage of the materials needed for the project, or a declining economic need for the project, would likely affect all similar projects, thereby increasing market risk. Thus, market changes that affect a security issued in connection with one project also would affect securities issued in connection with similar types of projects.

For purposes of the Fund's policy not to concentrate its investments as described above, the Fund has adopted classifications of industries and groups of related industries. These classifications are not fundamental polices.

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings

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 processes, the need for transparency must be balanced against the risk that third parties who gain access to the 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 securities that a portfolio manager is trading on the Fund's behalf.

The Fund, the Manager, the Distributor and the Transfer Agent have therefore adopted policies and procedures regarding the dissemination of information about the Fund's portfolio holdings by employees, officers and directors or trustees of the Fund, the Manager, the Distributor and the Transfer Agent. These policies are designed to assure that non-public information about the Fund's portfolio securities holdings is distributed only 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 the Fund. It is a violation of the Code of Ethics for any covered person to release holdings in contravention of the portfolio holdings disclosure policies and procedures adopted by the Fund.

Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Policies. The Fund, the Manager, the Distributor and the Transfer Agent and their affiliates and subsidiaries, employees, officers, and directors or trustees, 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 Manager or any affiliated person of the Manager) in connection with the disclosure of the Fund's non-public portfolio holdings. The receipt of investment advisory fees or other fees and compensation paid to the Manager and its subsidiaries pursuant to agreements approved by the Fund's Board shall not be deemed to be "compensation" or "consideration" for these purposes. Until publicly disclosed, the Fund's portfolio holdings are proprietary, confidential business information. After they are publicly disclosed, the Fund's portfolio holdings may be released in accordance with the Fund's, the Manager's, the Distributor's and the Transfer Agent's policies and procedures regarding dissemination of information about the Fund's portfolio holdings.

Public Disclosure. The Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the close of each of the Fund's fiscal quarters in its annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders and in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q. Those documents are publicly available at the SEC. In addition, the Fund's portfolio holdings information, as of the end of each calendar month, may be posted and available on the Fund's website (at www.oppenheimerfunds.com) no sooner than 30 days after the end of each calendar month. The top 20 month-end securities holdings, listed by security or by issuer, may be posted on the OppenheimerFunds website with a 15-day delay. The Fund may delay posting its holdings, post a smaller list of holdings (e.g., the top 10 or top 15 portfolio holdings), or may not post any holdings, if the Manager believes that would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Other general information about the Fund's portfolio investments, such as portfolio composition by asset class, industry, country, currency, credit rating or maturity, may also be publicly disclosed 15 days after the end of each calendar month.

The Fund's portfolio holdings information (which may include information on the Fund's entire portfolio of individual securities therein) positions may be released to the following categories of individuals or entities on an ongoing basis, provided that such individual or entity either (1) has signed an agreement to keep such information confidential and will not use such information in any way that is detrimental to the Manager, its affiliates and the Fund or (2) as a member of the Fund's Board, or as an employee, officer or director of the Manager, the Distributor, or the Transfer Agent, or of their legal counsel, is subject to fiduciary obligations (a) not to disclose such information except in compliance with the Fund's policies and procedures and (b) not to trade for his or her personal account on the basis of such information.

Employees of the Fund's Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent who need to have access to such information (as determined by senior officers of such entities);

The Fund's independent registered public accounting firm;

Members of the Fund's Board and the Board's legal counsel;

The Fund's custodian bank;

A proxy voting service designated by the Fund and its Board;

Rating/ranking organizations (such as Lipper, Inc. and Morningstar, Inc.);

Portfolio pricing services retained by the Manager to provide portfolio security prices;

Insurance companies that have separate accounts invested in Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds or Panorama Series Fund, Inc. (to prepare their financial statements and analysis);

Brokers and dealers for purposes of providing portfolio analytic services;

Brokers and dealers in connection with portfolio transactions (purchases and sales); and

Brokers and dealers to obtain bids or bid and asked prices (if securities held by the Fund are not priced by the Fund's regular pricing services).

Month-end lists of the Fund's complete portfolio holdings may be disclosed for legitimate business reasons, no sooner than 5 days after the relevant month end, pursuant to special requests and under limited circumstances discussed below, provided that:

The third-party recipient must first submit a request for release of Fund portfolio holdings, explaining the business reason for the request;

Senior officers in the Manager's Investment Operations and Legal departments must approve the completed request for release of Fund portfolio holdings; and

Before receiving the data, the third-party recipient must sign the Manager's portfolio holdings non-disclosure agreement, agreeing to keep confidential the information that is not publicly available regarding the Fund's holdings and agreeing not to use such information in any way that is detrimental to the Manager, its affiliates and the Fund.

Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on the Fund's entire portfolio or individual securities therein) may be provided by senior officers of the Manager or attorneys on the legal staff of the Manager, Distributor, or Transfer Agent, in the following circumstances:

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;

Response to regulatory requests for information (from the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), state securities regulators, and/or foreign securities authorities, including without limitation requests for information in inspections or for position reporting purposes);

To potential sub-advisers of portfolios (pursuant to confidentiality agreements);

To consultants for retirement plans for plan sponsors/discussions at due diligence meetings (pursuant to confidentiality agreements);

Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions (pursuant to confidentiality agreements).

Portfolio managers and analysts may, subject to the Manager'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 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.

Any permitted release of otherwise non-public portfolio holdings information must be in accordance with the then-current policy on approved methods for communicating confidential information.

The Chief Compliance Officer (the "CCO") of the Fund and the Manager, Distributor, and Transfer Agent shall oversee the compliance by the Manager, Distributor, Transfer Agent, and their personnel with applicable policies and procedures. At least annually the CCO reports to the Fund's Board any material violation of these policies and procedures during the previous period and makes recommendations to the Board as to any amendments that the CCO believes are necessary and desirable to carry out or improve these policies and procedures.

The Manager and 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:

How the Fund is Managed

Organization and History. The Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment company with an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest. The Fund was organized as a New York corporation in June 1965 and reorganized as Massachusetts business trust in February 1991.

Classes of Shares. The Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board") is authorized, without shareholder approval, to:

create new series and classes of shares;

reclassify unissued shares into additional series and classes; and

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.

The Fund currently has four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio. Only certain institutional investors may purchase Class Y shares. Each class of shares:

has its own dividends and distributions;

pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes;

will generally have a different net asset value;

will generally have separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one class are different from interests of another class; and

votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.

Each share of each class:

represents an interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of each other share of the same class;

is freely transferable;

has one vote at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionally;

may be voted in person or by proxy at shareholder meetings; and

does not have cumulative voting rights, preemptive rights or subscription rights.

Class B Share Availability.

Class B shares will no longer be offered for sale after June 29, 2012. See the Prospectus section "More About Your Account" for details.

Class Y Share Availability.

Class Y shares are offered to fee-based clients of dealers that have a special agreement with the Distributor to offer these shares, and to certain institutional investors who have a special agreement with the Distributor. Class Y shares are also offered to present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their eligible family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, its parent company and the subsidiaries of its parent company, and retirement plans established for the benefit of such individuals.

Voluntary Conversion to Class Y Shares. For shareholders who currently hold other classes of Fund shares, but are authorized to purchase Class Y shares, those shareholders can convert their eligible existing shares to Class Y shares of the Fund either through their dealer who has a special agreement with the Distributor or by submitting written instructions to the Transfer Agent. Shares that are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") are not eligible to convert to Class Y shares until the applicable CDSC period has expired. Under current interpretations of applicable federal income tax law by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), this voluntary conversion to Class Y shares is not treated as a taxable event. If those laws or the IRS interpretation of those laws should change, this voluntary conversion feature may be suspended.

Shareholder Meetings. As a Massachusetts business trust, the Fund is not required to hold regular annual meetings of shareholders and does not plan to do so. The Fund may hold shareholder meetings from time to time, however, on important matters or when required to do so by the Investment Company Act, or other applicable law.

Shareholders have the right, upon a vote or declaration in writing of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Fund, to remove a Trustee or to take other action described in the Fund's Declaration of Trust. The Trustees will call a meeting of shareholders to vote on the removal of a Trustee upon the written request of the record holders of 10% of its outstanding shares.

If the Trustees receive a request from at least 10 shareholders stating that they wish to communicate with other shareholders to request a meeting to remove a Trustee, the Trustees will then either make the Fund's shareholder list available to the applicants or mail their communication to all other shareholders at the applicants' expense. The shareholders making the request must have been shareholders for at least six months and must hold shares of the Fund valued at $25,000 or more or constituting at least 1% of the Fund's outstanding shares. The Trustees may also take other action as permitted by the Investment Company Act.

Shareholder and Trustee Liability. The Fund's Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder and Trustee liability for the Fund's obligations. It also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of expenses out of the Fund's property for any shareholder held personally liable for its obligations. The Declaration of Trust also states that, upon request, the Fund shall assume the defense of any claim made against a shareholder for any act or obligation of the Fund and shall satisfy any judgment on that claim. The Fund's contractual arrangements state that any person doing business with the Fund (and each shareholder of the Fund) agrees under its Declaration of Trust to look solely to the assets of the Fund for satisfaction of any claim or demand that may arise out of any dealings with the Fund. Additionally, the Trustees shall have no personal liability to any such person, to the extent permitted by law. Although Massachusetts law permits a shareholder of a business trust (such as the Fund) to be held personally liable as a "partner" under certain circumstances, the risk that a Fund shareholder will incur financial loss from being held liable as a "partner" of the Fund is limited to the relatively remote circumstances in which the Fund would be unable to meet its obligations.

Board of Trustees and Oversight Committees

The Fund is governed by a Board of Trustees, which is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders under Massachusetts and Federal law. The Board is led by Brian F. Wruble, an independent trustee, who is not an "interested person" of the Fund, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Board meets periodically throughout the year to oversee the Fund's activities, review its performance, oversee the potential conflicts that could affect the Fund, and review the actions of the Manager. The Board has an Audit Committee, a Regulatory & Oversight Committee and a Governance Committee. Each Committee is comprised solely of Trustees who are not "interested persons" under the Investment Company Act (the "Independent Trustees"). Mr. Wruble's practice is to attend all meetings of each of the three Committees of the Board where he participates in deliberation but does not have a vote.

During the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the Audit Committee held 5 meetings, the Regulatory & Oversight Committee held 5 meetings and the Governance Committee held 4 meetings.

The members of the Audit Committee are David K. Downes (Chairman), Phillip A. Griffiths, Mary F. Miller, Joseph M. Wikler and Peter I. Wold. The Audit Committee selects an independent registered public accounting firm (also referred to as the "independent Auditors"). Other main functions of the Audit Committee outlined in the Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and results of financial statement audits and the audit fees charged; (ii) reviewing reports from the Fund's independent Auditors regarding the Fund's internal accounting procedures and controls; (iii) reviewing reports from the Manager's Internal Audit Department; (iv) maintaining a separate line of communication between the Fund's independent Auditors and the Independent Trustees/Directors; (v) reviewing the independence of the Fund's independent Auditors; and (vi) approving in advance the provision of any audit or non-audit services by the Fund's independent Auditors, including tax services, that are not prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to the Fund, the Manager and certain affiliates of the Manager. The Audit Committee also reviews reports concerning the valuation of certain investments.

The members of the Regulatory & Oversight Committee are Matthew P. Fink (Chairman), David K. Downes, Phillip A. Griffiths, Joel W. Motley, Mary Ann Tynan and Joseph M. Wikler. The Regulatory & Oversight Committee evaluates and reports to the Board on the Fund's contractual arrangements, including the Investment Advisory and Distribution Agreements, Transfer Agency and Shareholder Service Agreements and custodian agreements as well as the policies and procedures adopted by the Fund to comply with the Investment Company Act and other applicable law. The Regulatory & Oversight Committee also reviews reports from the Manager's Risk Management Department and Chief Compliance Officer among other duties as set forth in the Regulatory & Oversight Committee's Charter. These reports, and others concerning investment, operational and other risks to the Funds are shared with, and discussed by, the full Board.

The members of the Governance Committee are Joel W. Motley (Chairman), Matthew P. Fink, Mary F. Miller, Mary Ann Tynan and Peter I. Wold. The Governance Committee reviews the Fund's governance guidelines, the adequacy of the Fund's Codes of Ethics, and develops qualification criteria for Board members consistent with the Fund's governance guidelines, provides the Board with recommendations for voting portfolio securities held by the Fund, monitors the Fund's proxy voting, and coordinates with organizations representing the independent directors of mutual funds among other duties set forth in the Governance Committee's Charter.

The Governance Committee's functions also include the nomination of Trustees/Directors, including Independent Trustees/Directors, for election to the Board. The full Board elects new Trustees/Directors except for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

The Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by Independent Trustees/Directors or recommended by any other Board members including Board members affiliated with the Fund's Manager. The Governance Committee may consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and its affiliates in selecting nominees, but need not do so. Upon Board approval, the Governance Committee may retain an executive search firm to assist in screening potential candidates and may also use the services of legal, financial, or other external counsel that it deems necessary or desirable in the screening process. To date, the Governance Committee has been able to identify from its own resources an ample number of qualified candidates. However, under the current policy of the Board, if the Board determines that a vacancy exists or is likely to exist, the Governance Committee will include candidates recommended by the Fund's shareholders in its consideration of nominees.

Shareholders wishing to submit a nominee for election to the Board may do so by mailing their submission to the offices of OppenheimerFunds, Inc., Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008, to the attention of the Board of Trustees/Directors of the applicable Fund, c/o the Secretary of the Fund. Submissions should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the following: (1) the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended; (2) a statement concerning whether the person is an "interested person" as defined in the Investment Company Act; (3) any other information that the Fund would be required to include in a proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and (4) the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation and, if that person is a shareholder, the period for which that person held Fund shares. Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the Manager) would be deemed an "interested person" under the Investment Company Act. In addition, certain other relationships with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds' outside legal counsel may cause a person to be deemed an "interested person."

The Governance Committee has not established specific qualifications that it believes must be met by a nominee. In evaluating nominees, the Governance Committee considers, among other things, an individual's background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is an "interested person" as defined in the Investment Company Act; and whether the individual would be deemed an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. The Governance Committee also considers whether the individual's background, skills, and experience will complement, and add to the diversity of, the background, skills, and experience of other Trustees/Directors, and will contribute to the Board's deliberations. There is no difference in the manner in which the Governance Committee evaluates a nominee based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder. Candidates are expected to provide a mix of attributes, experience, perspective and skills necessary to effectively advance the interests of shareholders.

Below is a brief discussion of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each Board member that led the Board to conclude that he or she should serve as a Trustee/Director of the Fund.

Each independent trustee/director has served on the Board for the number of years listed below, during the course of which he or she has become familiar with the Fund's (and other Oppenheimer funds') financial, accounting, regulatory and investment matters and has contributed to the Board's deliberations. Each Trustee's/Director's outside professional experience is outlined in the table of Biographical Information, below.

Bloomberg, Bullington, Kantesaria, LaFond and Nasta, who are officers of the Fund, hold the same offices with one or more of the other New York Board Funds.

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, at net asset value without a sales charge, or Y shares of the Fund and of other Oppenheimer funds that offer those share Classes. The sales charge on Class A shares is waived for that group because of the reduced sales efforts realized by the Distributor.

As of March 9, 2012 the Trustees/Directors and officers of the Fund, as a group, owned less than 1% of any class of shares of the Fund beneficially or of record.

The foregoing statement does not reflect ownership of shares held of record by an employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other than the shares beneficially owned under that plan by the officers of the Fund. In addition, none of the Independent Trustees/Directors (nor any of their immediate family members) owns securities of either the Manager or the Distributor or of any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager or the Distributor.

1. "Aggregate Compensation From the Fund" includes fees and amounts deferred under the "Compensation Deferral Plan" (described below), if any.
2. Includes $5,177 deferred by Ms. Miller under the Compensation Deferral Plan.
3. Includes $1,381 deferred by Mr. Motley under the Compensation Deferral Plan.
4. Includes $6,472 deferred by Mr. Wikler under the Compensation Deferral Plan.
5. Includes $12,944 deferred by Mr. Wold under the Compensation Deferral Plan.

Compensation Deferral Plan. The Board of Trustees has adopted a Compensation Deferral Plan for Independent Trustees that enables them to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are entitled to receive from certain Funds. Under the plan, the compensation deferred by a Trustee is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent amount had been invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The amount paid to the Trustee under the plan will be determined based on the amount of compensation deferred and the performance of the selected funds.

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

Major Shareholders. As of March 9, 2012 the only persons or entities who owned of record, or who were known by the Fund to own beneficially, 5% or more of any class of the Fund's outstanding shares were:

The Manager

The Manager is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a holding company primarily owned by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, a global, diversified insurance and financial services company.

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 portfolio managers and certain other employees ("covered persons") that could 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/or 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 and the Distributor.

The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the Fund's registration statement filed with the SEC. It can be viewed as part of the Fund's registration statement on the SEC's EDGAR database at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C.

The Investment Advisory Agreement. The Manager provides investment advisory and management services to the Fund under an investment advisory agreement between the Manager and the Fund. The Manager selects securities for the Fund's portfolio and handles its day-to-day business. The portfolio managers of the Fund are employed by the Manager and are principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. Other members of the Manager's investment teams provide the portfolio managers with counsel and support in managing the Fund's portfolio.

The advisory agreement 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 investment advisory agreement. The investment advisory agreement lists examples of expenses paid by the Fund. The major categories relate to interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, fees to certain Board members, 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:

Fiscal Year ended 12/31	Management Fees Paid to OppenheimerFunds, Inc.	Accounting and Administrative Service Fees Paid to OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
2009	$35,883,346	$2,340,270
2010	$39,507,383	$2,584,568
2011	$33,390,157	$2,172,633

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 the Fund sustains in connection with matters to which the agreement relates.

The agreement permits the Manager to act as an investment adviser for any other person, firm or corporation and to use the name "Oppenheimer" 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 name "Oppenheimer" as part of its name.

Pending Litigation. Since 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal and state courts against the Manager, the Distributor and certain Oppenheimer mutual funds - including the Fund - advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (the "Defendant Funds"). Several of these lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal and state securities laws and state common law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Fund's investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses. On June 1, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado gave preliminary approval to stipulations and agreements of settlement in certain putative class action lawsuits involving two Defendant Funds, Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund and Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund. On September 30, 2011, the court entered orders approving the settlements as fair, reasonable and adequate. Those orders are not subject to further appeal. These settlements do not resolve any of the outstanding lawsuits relating to the Fund, nor any other lawsuits outstanding against Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund or other Defendant Funds.

In 2009, what are claimed to be derivative lawsuits were filed in New Mexico state court against the Manager and a subsidiary (but not against the Fund) on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses. On September 9, 2011, the court denied plaintiffs' request for a hearing to determine the fairness of the settlement, finding that plaintiffs lacked standing to pursue derivative claims on behalf of the Trust. On October 27, 2011, the parties filed a joint motion for dismissal of these lawsuits with prejudice, which the court granted on October 28, 2011.

Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against the Manager and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the "Ponzi" scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC ("BLMIS"). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of the Manager and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Mr. Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of certain putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered a final judgment and order of dismissal with prejudice approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court's order approving the settlement. On July 29, 2011, a stipulation of settlement between certain affiliates of the Manager and the Trustee appointed under the Securities Investor Protection Act to liquidate BLMIS was filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to resolve purported preference and fraudulent transfer claims by the Trustee. On September 22, 2011, the court issued a ruling approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In October 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court's order approving the settlement. The aforementioned settlements do not resolve any of the other outstanding lawsuits relating to these matters.

On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark IV Funding Limited ("AAArdvark IV"), an entity advised by the Manager's affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark Funding Limited ("AAArdvark I"), an entity advised by the Manager's affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited ("AAArdvark XS"), an entity advised by the Manager's affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleges breach of contract against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees.

The Manager believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. The Defendant Funds' Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolio is managed by a team of investment professionals, including, Daniel G. Loughran, Scott S. Cottier, Troy E. Willis, Mark R. DeMitry, Michael L. Camarella and Charles S. Pulire (each is referred to as a "Portfolio Manager" and collectively they are referred to as the "Portfolio Managers") who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments.

Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the Fund's investment portfolio, the members of the portfolio management team also manage other investment portfolios and other accounts on behalf of the Manager or its affiliates. The following table provides information regarding those portfolios and accounts as of December 31, 2011. No portfolio or account has an advisory fee based on performance:

Portfolio Manager	Registered Investment Companies Managed	Total Assets in Registered Investment Companies Managed¹	Other Pooled Investment Vehicles Managed	Total Assets in Other Pooled Investment Vehicles Managed	Other Accounts Managed	Total Assets in Other Accounts Managed^2,3
Daniel G. Loughran	19	$21.01	0	$0	2	$325
Scott S. Cottier	19	$21.01	0	$0	2	$325
Troy E. Willis	19	$21.01	0	$0	2	$325

1. In billions.
2. In millions.
3. Does not include personal accounts of portfolio managers and their families, which are subject to the Code of Ethics.

As indicated above, the Portfolio Managers may also manage other funds and accounts. At different times, the Fund's Portfolio Managers may manage other funds or accounts with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund, or they may manage funds or accounts with different investment objectives and strategies. At times, those responsibilities could potentially conflict with the interests of the Fund. That may occur whether the investment objectives and strategies of the other funds and accounts are the same as, or different from, the Fund's investment objectives and strategies. For example, the Portfolio Managers may need to allocate investment opportunities between the Fund and another fund or account having similar objectives or strategies, or they may need to execute transactions for another fund or account that could have a negative impact on the value of securities held by the Fund. Not all funds and accounts advised by the Manager have the same management fee. If the management fee structure of another fund or account is more advantageous to the Manager than the fee structure of the Fund, the Manager could have an incentive to favor the other fund or account. However, the Manager's compliance procedures and Code of Ethics recognize the Manager's obligation to treat all of its clients, including the Fund, fairly and equitably, and are designed to preclude the Portfolio Managers from favoring one client over another. It is possible, of course, that those compliance procedures and the Code of Ethics may not always be adequate to do so.

Compensation of the Portfolio Managers. The Fund's Portfolio Managers are employed and compensated by the Manager, not the Fund. Under the Manager's compensation program for its portfolio managers and portfolio analysts, Fund performance is the most important element of compensation with at least half of annual cash compensation based on relative investment performance results of the funds or accounts they manage, rather than on the financial success of the Manager. This is intended to align the portfolio managers and analysts' interests with the success of the funds and accounts and their shareholders. The Manager's compensation structure is designed to attract and retain highly qualified investment management professionals and to reward individual and team contributions toward creating shareholder value. As of the Fund's most recently completed year-end, the Portfolio Managers' compensation consisted of three elements: a base salary, an annual discretionary bonus and eligibility to participate in long-term awards of options and stock appreciation rights in regard to the common stock of the Manager's holding company parent, as well as restricted shares of such common stock. Senior portfolio managers may be eligible to participate in the Manager's deferred compensation plan.

The base pay component of each portfolio manager is reviewed regularly to ensure that it reflects the performance of the individual, is commensurate with the requirements of the particular portfolio, reflects any specific competence or specialty of the individual manager, and is competitive with other comparable positions. The annual discretionary bonus is determined by senior management of the Manager and is based on a number of factors, including a fund's pre-tax performance for periods of up to five years, measured against an appropriate Lipper or Morningstar peer group category selected by management. The majority is based on one, three and five year data, with longer periods weighted more heavily. Below median performance in all three periods' results in an extremely low, and in some cases no, performance based bonus. Other factors considered include management quality (such as style consistency, risk management, sector coverage, team leadership and coaching) and organizational development. The Portfolio Managers' compensation is not based on the total value of the Fund's portfolio assets, although the Fund's investment performance may increase those assets. The compensation structure is also intended to be internally equitable and serve to reduce potential conflicts of interest between the Fund and other funds and accounts managed by the Portfolio Managers.

The Lipper peer group category for the Portfolio Managers with respect to the Fund is Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds and the Morningstar peer group category is Muni New York Long. The compensation structure of the other funds and accounts managed by the Portfolio Managers are generally the same as the compensation structure of the Fund, described above.

Ownership of Fund Shares. As of December 31, 2011, the Portfolio Manager(s) beneficially owned shares of the Fund as follows:

Portfolio Manager	Range of Shares Beneficially Owned in the Fund
Daniel G. Loughran	None
Scott S. Cottier	None
Troy E. Willis	$10,001 - $50,000
Mark R. DeMitry	None
Michael L. Camarella	None
Charles S. Pulire	$1 - $10,000

Brokerage Policies of the Fund

Brokerage Provisions of the Investment Advisory Agreement. One of the duties of the Manager under the investment advisory agreement is to arrange the portfolio transactions for the Fund. The advisory agreement contains provisions relating to the employment of broker-dealers for that purpose. The advisory agreement authorizes the Manager to employ broker-dealers, including "affiliated brokers," as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act, that the Manager thinks, in its best judgment based on all relevant factors, will implement the policy of the Fund to obtain the "best execution" of the Fund's portfolio transactions. "Best execution" means executing trades in a manner such that the total costs or proceeds are the most favorable under the circumstances. Some of the circumstances that may influence this decision are: cost (brokerage commission or dealer spread), size of order, difficulty of order, and the firm's ability to provide prompt and reliable execution.

The Manager need not seek competitive commission bidding. However, the Manager is expected to be aware of the current rates of eligible brokers and to minimize the commissions paid to the extent consistent with the interests and policies of the Fund as established by its Board. The Fund is not required to pay the lowest available commission. Under the investment advisory agreement, in choosing brokers to execute portfolio transactions for the Fund, the Manager may select brokers (other than affiliates) that provide both brokerage and research services to the Fund. The commissions paid to those brokers may be higher than another qualified broker would charge, if the Manager makes a good faith determination that the commission is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided.

Brokerage Practices Followed by the Manager. The Manager allocates brokerage for the Fund subject to the provisions of the investment advisory agreement and other applicable rules and procedures described below.

The Manager's portfolio managers directly place trades and allocate brokerage based upon their judgment as to the execution capability of the broker or dealer. The Manager's executive officers supervise the allocation of brokerage.

Most securities purchases made by the Fund are in principal transactions at net prices. (i.e., without commissions). The Fund usually deals directly with the selling or purchasing principal or market maker without incurring charges for the services of a broker on its behalf. Portfolio securities purchased from underwriters include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter in the price of the security. Portfolio securities purchased from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked price. Therefore, the Fund generally does not incur substantial brokerage costs. On occasion, however, the Manager may determine that a better price or execution may be obtained by using the services of a broker on an agency basis. In that situation, the Fund would incur a brokerage commission.

Other funds advised by the Manager have investment policies similar to those of the Fund. Those other funds may purchase or sell the same securities as the Fund at the same time as the Fund, which could affect the supply and price of the securities. When possible, the Manager tries to combine concurrent orders to purchase or sell the same security by more than one of the funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates. The transactions under those combined orders are generally allocated on a pro rata basis based on the fund's respective net asset sizes and other factors, including the fund's cash flow requirements, investment policies and guidelines and capacity.

Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act prohibits 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 adviser cannot use the fund's brokerage for the purpose of rewarding broker-dealers for selling a 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 Trustees has approved those procedures) that permit the Fund to execute portfolio securities transactions through 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 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 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 investment advisory agreement permits the Manager to allocate brokerage for research services. The research services provided by a particular broker may be useful both to the Fund and to one or more of the other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates. Investment research may be supplied to the Manager by a broker through which trades are placed or by a third party at the instance of the broker.

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, analytical software and similar products and services. If a research service also assists the Manager in a non-research capacity (such as bookkeeping or other administrative functions), then only the percentage or component that provides assistance to the Manager in the investment decision making process may be paid in commission dollars.

Although the Manager currently does not do so, the Board of Trustees may permit the Manager to use stated commissions on secondary fixed-income agency trades to obtain research if the broker represents to the Manager that: (i) the trade is not from or for the broker's own inventory, (ii) the trade was executed by the broker on an agency basis at the stated commission, and (iii) the trade is not a riskless principal transaction. The Board may also permit the Manager to use commissions on fixed-price offerings to obtain research in the same manner as is permitted for agency transactions.

The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and supplement the research activities of the Manager. That research provides additional views and comparisons for consideration, and helps the Manager 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 Manager provides information to the Board about the commissions paid to brokers furnishing such services, together with the Manager's representation that the amount of such commissions was reasonably related to the value or benefit of such services.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Fund paid no total brokerage commissions. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the Fund did not execute any transactions through or pay any commissions to firms that provide research services.

Distribution and Service Arrangements

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 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 ("CDSCs") retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares during the Fund's three most recent fiscal years are shown in the tables below.

Class A Sales Charges
Fiscal Year Ended 12/31	Aggregate Front-End Sales Charges on Class A Shares	Class A Front-End Sales Charges Retained by Distributor*
2009	$9,446,940	$1,351,979
2010	$9,061,576	$1,268,171
2011	$5,377,589	$784,327

* Includes amounts retained by a broker-dealer that is an affiliate or a parent of the Distributor.

Concessions Advanced by Distributor
Fiscal Year Ended 12/31	Concessions on Class A Shares Advanced by Distributor*	Concessions on Class B Shares Advanced by Distributor*	Concessions on Class C Shares Advanced by Distributor*
2009	$947,680	$535,534	$1,096,911

2011	$609,587	$311,943	$530,932

* The Distributor advances concession payments to financial intermediaries for certain sales of Class A shares and for sales of Class B and Class C shares from its own resources at the time of sale.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
Fiscal Year Ended 12/31	Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges Retained by Distributor	Class B Contingent Deferred Sales Charges Retained by Distributor	Class C Contingent Deferred Sales Charges Retained by Distributor
2009	$391,041	$501,910	$192,912
2010	$178,936	$427,377	$91,022
2011	$107,398	$302,758	$90,455

Distribution and Service (12b-1) Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares and Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C 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, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan. The Independent Trustees are not "interested persons" of the Fund and do not have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the distribution plan or any agreement under the plan, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act.

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.

A plan continues in effect from year to year only if the Fund's Board and its Independent Trustees/Directors vote annually to approve its continuance at an in person meeting called for that purpose. A plan may be terminated at any time by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees/Directors or by the vote of the holders of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the outstanding shares of the Class of shares to which it applies.

The Board and the Independent Trustees/Directors must approve all material amendments to a plan. An amendment to materially increase the amount of payments to be made under a plan must also be approved by shareholders of any affected class. Because Class B shares of the Fund automatically convert into Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the shareholders of both Class A and Class B, voting separately by class, must approve a proposed amendment to the Class A plan that would materially increase payments under that plan.

At least quarterly while the plans are in effect, the Treasurer of the Fund will provide the Board with separate written reports on the plans for its review. The reports will 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 Trustees/Directors.

While each plan is in effect, the Independent Trustees/Directors of the Fund will select and nominate any other Independent Trustees/Directors. This does not prevent the involvement of others in the selection and nomination process as long as the final decision is made by a majority of the Independent Trustees/Directors.

No payment will be made to any recipient for any share class unless, during the applicable period, the aggregate net asset value of Fund shares of the class held by the recipient (for itself and its customers) exceeds a minimum amount that may be set by a majority of the Independent Trustees/Directors from time to time.

Class A Service Plan. 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 (referred to as "recipients") for personal and account maintenance services they provide for their customers who hold Class A shares. Those services may include answering customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in establishing and maintaining Fund accounts, 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 the Fund to reimburse the Distributor at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Class A average net assets. The Distributor makes payments to recipients periodically at an annual rate of not more than 0.25% of the Class A average net assets held in the accounts of the recipient or it customers.

The Distributor does not receive or retain the service fee for Class A share accounts for which the Distributor is listed as the broker-dealer of record. While the plan permits the Board to authorize payments to the Distributor to reimburse itself for those services, the Board has not yet done so, except with respect to shares purchased prior to March 1, 2007 by certain group retirement plans that were established prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement plans").

Prior to March 1, 2007, the Distributor paid the 0.25% first year service fee for grandfathered retirement plans in advance and retained the service fee paid by the Fund with respect to those shares for the first year. After those shares are held for a year, the Distributor pays the ongoing service fees to recipients on a periodic basis. If those shares were redeemed within the first year after their purchase, the recipient of the service fees on those shares was obligated to repay the Distributor a pro rata portion of the advance payment of the fees. If those shares were redeemed within 18 months, they were subject to a CDSC. For Class A shares purchased in grandfathered retirement plans on or after March 1, 2007, the Distributor does not make any payment in advance and does not retain the service fee for the first year and the shares are not subject to a CDSC.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, payments under the Class A service plan totaled $8,757,958, of which $0 was retained by the Distributor under the arrangement described above regarding grandfathered retirement accounts, including $96,106 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's parent company. 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.

Class B and Class C Distribution and Service Plans. Under the Class B and Class C Distribution and Service Plans (each a "Plan" and together the "Plans"), the Fund pays the asset-based sales charge (the "distribution fee") to the Distributor for its services in distributing Class B and Class C shares. The distribution fee allows investors to buy Class B and Class C shares without a front-end sales charge, while allowing the Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares. The Distributor may use the service fees it receives under the Plans to pay recipients for providing services similar to the services provided under the Class A service plan, described above.

Payments under the Plans are made in recognition that the Distributor:

pays sales concessions to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of sale or as an ongoing concession,

pays the service fees in advance or periodically, as described below,

may finance payment of sales concessions or the advance of the service fee payments to recipients under the Plans, or may provide such financing from its own resources or from the resources of an affiliate,

employs personnel to support distribution of Class B and Class C shares,

bears the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses (other than those furnished to current shareholders) and certain other distribution expenses,

may not be able to adequately compensate dealers that sell Class B and Class C shares without receiving payment under the Plans and therefore may not be able to offer such Classes for sale absent the Plans,

receives payments under the Plans consistent with the service and distribution fees paid by other non-proprietary funds that charge 12b-1 fees,

may use the payments under the Plan to include the Fund in various third-party distribution programs that might increase sales of Fund shares,

may experience increased difficulty selling the Fund's shares if Plan payments were discontinued, because most competitor funds have plans that pay dealers as much or more for distribution services than the amounts currently being paid by the Fund, and

may not be able to continue providing the same quality of distribution efforts and services, or to obtain such services from brokers and dealers, if Plan payments were discontinued.

Distribution fees on Class B shares are generally retained by the Distributor. If a dealer has a special agreement with the Distributor, the Distributor may pay the Class B distribution fees to recipients periodically in lieu of paying the sales concession in advance at the time of purchase. The Distributor retains the distribution fee on Class C shares during the first year and then pays it as an ongoing concession to recipients.

Service fees for the first year after Class B and Class C shares are purchased, are generally paid to recipients in advance. After the first year, the Distributor pays the service fees to recipients periodically. Under the Plans, the Distributor is permitted to retain the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a periodic basis, without payment in advance. If a recipient has a special agreement with the Distributor, the Distributor may pay the Class B service fees to recipients periodically in lieu of paying the first year fee in advance. If Class B and Class C shares are redeemed during the first year after their purchase, a recipient of service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay a pro rata portion of the advance payment to the Distributor. Shares purchased by exchange do not qualify for the advance service fee payment.

Class B and Class C shares may not be purchased by a new investor directly from the Distributor without the investor designating another registered broker-dealer. If a current 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 distribution fees paid on Class B and Class C shares, but does not retain any service fees as to the assets represented by that account.

Each Plan provides for the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the Distributor's distribution expenses for a period are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund under the relevant Plan. During a calendar year, the Distributor's actual expenses in selling Class B and Class C shares may be more than the distribution fees paid to the Distributor under the Plans and the CDSC's collected on redeemed shares. Those excess expenses are carried over on the Distributor's books and may be recouped from distribution fees paid by the Fund in future years. However, the Distributor has voluntarily agreed to cap the amount that may be carried over from year to year and recouped for certain categories of expenses at 0.70% of annual gross sales of shares of the Fund. The capped expenses under the Plans are (i) expenses the Distributor has incurred that represent compensation and expenses of its sales personnel and (ii) other direct distribution costs it has incurred, such as sales literature, state registration fees, advertising and prospectuses used to offer Fund shares. If those categories of expenses exceed the capped amount, the Distributor would bear the excess costs. If a Plan were to be terminated by the Fund, the Fund's Board may allow the Fund to continue payments of the distribution fees to the Distributor for its services in distributing shares before the Plan was terminated.

The distribution and service fees under each Plan 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. The distribution and service fees increase the annual Class B and Class C expenses by 1.00% of net assets.

Distribution and Service Fees Paid to the Distributor for the Fiscal Year Ended 12/31/11
Class:	Total Payments Under Plan	Amount Retained by Distributor	Amount Paid to Affiliate	Distributor's Aggregate Unreimbursed Expenses Under Plan	Distributor's Unreimbursed Expenses as % of Net Assets of Class
Class B Plan	$1,461,905	$1,120,272	$3,945	$32,737,137	24.58%
Class C Plan	$10,392,435	$973,874	$35,865	$34,331,320	3.21%

All payments under the Plans are subject to the limitations imposed by the Conduct Rules of FINRA on payments of distribution and service fees.

Payments to Financial Intermediaries

Financial intermediaries may receive various forms of compensation or reimbursement from the Fund in the form of distribution and service (12b-1) plan payments as described above. They may also receive payments or concessions from the Distributor, derived from sales charges paid by the financial intermediary's clients, also as described in this SAI. In addition, the Manager and the Distributor (including their affiliates) may make payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the intermediaries' offering and sales of Fund shares and shares of other Oppenheimer funds, or their provision of marketing or promotional support, transaction processing or administrative services. Among the financial intermediaries that may receive these payments are brokers or dealers who sell or hold shares of the Fund, banks (including bank trust departments), registered investment advisers, insurance companies, retirement plan or qualified tuition program administrators, third party administrators, recordkeepers or other institutions that have selling, servicing or similar arrangements with the Manager or the Distributor. The payments to financial intermediaries vary by the types of product sold, the features of the Fund share class and the role played by the intermediary.

Types of payments to financial intermediaries may include, without limitation, all or portions of the following:

Payments made by the Fund, or by an investor buying or selling shares of the Fund, including:

an initial front-end sales charge, all or a portion of which is payable by the Distributor to financial intermediaries (see the "More About Your Account" section in the Prospectus);

ongoing asset-based distribution and/or service fees (described in the section "Distribution and Service Arrangements - Distribution and Service (12b-1) Plans" above);

shareholder servicing expenses that are paid from Fund assets to reimburse the Manager or the Distributor for Fund expenses they incur for providing omnibus accounting, recordkeeping, networking, sub-transfer agency or other administrative or shareholder services (including retirement plan and 529 plan administrative services fees).

In addition, the Manager or Distributor may, at their discretion, make the following types of payments from their own respective resources, which may include profits the Manager derives from investment advisory fees paid by the Fund. Payments are made based on the guidelines established by the Manager and Distributor, subject to applicable law. These payments are often referred to as "revenue sharing" payments, and may include:

compensation for marketing support, support provided in offering shares in the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds through certain trading platforms and programs, and transaction processing or other services;

other compensation, to the extent the payment is not prohibited by law or by any self-regulatory agency, such as FINRA.

Although a broker or dealer that sells Fund shares may also act as a broker or dealer in connection with the purchase or sale of portfolio securities by the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sales of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when choosing brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds.

Revenue sharing payments can pay for distribution-related or asset retention items including, without limitation:

transactional support, one-time charges for setting up access for the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds on particular trading systems, and paying the intermediary's networking fees;

program support, such as expenses related to including the Oppenheimer funds in retirement plans, college savings plans, fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, fund "supermarkets", bank or trust company products or insurance companies' variable annuity or variable life insurance products;

placement on the dealer's list of offered funds and providing representatives of the Distributor with access to a financial intermediary's sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives; or

firm support, such as business planning assistance, advertising, or educating a financial intermediary's sales personnel about the Oppenheimer funds and shareholder financial planning needs.

These payments may provide an incentive to financial intermediaries to actively market or promote the sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, or to support the marketing or promotional efforts of the Distributor in offering shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds. In addition, some types of payments may provide a financial intermediary with an incentive to recommend the Fund or a particular share class. Financial intermediaries may earn profits on these payments, since the amount of the payments may exceed the cost of providing the services. Certain of these payments are subject to limitations under applicable law. Financial intermediaries may categorize and disclose these arrangements to their clients and to members of the public in a manner different from the disclosures in the Fund's Prospectus and this SAI. You should ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Fund, the Manager or the Distributor and any services it provides, as well as the fees and commissions it charges.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the following financial intermediaries and/or their affiliates (which in some cases are broker-dealers) offered shares of the Oppenheimer funds and received revenue sharing or similar distribution-related payments (of at least $5,000) from the Manager or the Distributor for marketing or program support:

About Your Account

The Fund's Prospectus describes how to buy, sell and exchange shares of the Fund and certain other Oppenheimer funds. The information below provides further details about the Fund's policies regarding those share transactions. It should be read in conjunction with the information in the Prospectus. Appendix A of this SAI provides 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 investors and certain types of purchases or redemptions.

Determination of Net Asset Value Per Share. The net asset value ("NAV") per share for each class of shares of the Fund is determined by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The NAV is determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on each day that the NYSE is open. The NYSE 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 SAI mean "Eastern time." The NYSE'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, Washington's Birthday (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 NYSE members may conduct trading in municipal securities on days that the NYSE 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 days when shareholders may not purchase or redeem shares.

Securities Valuation. The Fund's Board has established procedures for the valuation of the Fund's securities. In general those procedures are as follows:

Long-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of more than 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 or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry.

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 or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:

debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when issued,
debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and
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.

The following securities are valued at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts:

money market debt securities held by a non-money market fund that had a maturity of less than 397 days when issued and that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, and
debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less.

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, or the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available.

In the case of municipal securities the Manager uses pricing services who 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 valuations. That monitoring may include comparing prices used for portfolio valuation to the actual sale prices of selected securities.

Puts, calls, futures and municipal bond index futures are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded, as determined by a pricing service.

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

For calculating the Fund's net asset value, dividends and distributions, the Fund differentiates between 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. Those expenses are first allocated based on the percentage of the Fund's total assets that is represented by the assets of each share class. Such general expenses include management fees, legal, bookkeeping and audit fees, Board compensation, custodian expenses, share issuance costs, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses, such as litigation costs. Then the expenses allocated to a share class are allotted equally to each outstanding share within a given class.

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.

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 each class of shares and the dividends payable on each class of shares will be reduced by incremental expenses borne solely by that class. Those expenses include the asset-based sales charges to which some share classes 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. The purpose of the deferred sales charge and asset-based sales charge that are applicable to some other share classes 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.

Since July 1, 2011, Class B shares have not been available for purchase by any 457(f) plan or qualified retirement plan, except for purchases by existing OppenheimerFunds Single K plans.

Class B shares will not be offered for sale to any investors after June 29, 2012. See the Prospectus section "More About Your Account" for details.

Class A Sales Charges Reductions and Waivers. There is an initial sales charge on the purchase of Class A shares of each of the Oppenheimer funds except for the money market funds (under certain circumstances described in this SAI, redemption proceeds of certain money market fund shares may be subject to a CDSC). As discussed in the Prospectus, a reduced initial sales charge rate may be obtained for certain share purchases because of the reduced sales efforts and reduction in expenses realized by the Distributor, dealers or brokers in making such sales. Sales charge waivers may apply in certain other circumstances because the Distributor or dealer or broker incurs little or no selling expenses. Appendix A to this SAI includes additional information regarding certain of these sales charge reductions and waivers.

A reduced sales charge rate may be obtained for Class A shares under a Right of Accumulation or Letter of Intent because of the reduction in sales effort and expenses to the Distributor, dealers or brokers for those sales.

Letter of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent (a "Letter"), you may be able to reduce the initial sales charge rate that applies to your Class A share purchases of the Fund if you purchase Class A, Class B or Class C shares of most Oppenheimer funds (including the Fund) or Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class H units of advisor sold Section 529 plans, for which the Manager or the Distributor serves as the Program Manager or Program Distributor.

A Letter is an investor's statement in writing to the Distributor of his or her intention to purchase a specified value of those shares or units during a 13 month period (the "Letter period"), which begins on the date of the investor's first share purchase following the establishment of the Letter. The sales charge on each purchase of Class A shares during the Letter period will be at the rate that would apply to a single lump-sum purchase of shares in the amount intended to be purchased. In submitting a Letter, the investor makes no commitment to purchase shares. However, if the investor does not fulfill the terms of the Letter within the Letter period, he or she agrees to pay the additional sales charges that would have been applicable to any purchases that are made. The investor agrees that shares equal in value to 2% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent for that purpose, as described in "Terms of Escrow" below. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter when placing purchase orders during the Letter period. The investor must also notify the Distributor or his or her financial intermediary of any qualifying 529 plan holdings.

To determine whether an investor has fulfilled the terms of a Letter, the Transfer Agent will count purchases of "qualified" Class A, Class B and Class C shares and Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class H units during the Letter period. Purchases of Class N, Class Y or Class I shares, purchases made by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, purchases of Class A shares with redemption proceeds under the Reinvestment Privilege, and purchases of Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which a sales charge has not been paid do not count as "qualified" shares for satisfying the terms of a Letter. An investor will also be considered to have fulfilled the Letter if the value of the investor's total holdings of qualified shares on the last day of the Letter period equals or exceeds the intended purchase amount.

If the terms of the Letter are not fulfilled within the Letter period, 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 on the first business day following the expiration of the Letter period to reflect the sales charge rates that are applicable to the actual total purchases.

If subsequent eligible purchases during the Letter period cause the amount of total eligible purchases to exceed the intended purchase amount and also exceed the amount needed to qualify for the next sales charge rate reduction (stated in the Prospectus), the sales charges paid on those subsequent purchases will be charged at the lower rate as permitted under the Fund's Right of Accumulation policy.

By establishing a Letter, the investor agrees to be bound by the terms of the Prospectus, this SAI and the application used for a Letter, and if those terms are amended to be bound by the amended terms and that any amendments by the Fund will apply automatically to existing Letters. Group retirement plans qualified under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code may not establish a Letter, however defined benefit plans and Single K sole proprietor plans may do so.

Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent .

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

2. If the Letter applies to more than one fund account, the investor can designate the fund from which shares will be escrowed. If no fund is selected, the Transfer Agent will escrow shares in the fund account that has the highest dollar balance on the date of the first purchase under the Letter. If there are not sufficient shares to cover the escrow amount, the Transfer Agent will escrow shares in the fund account(s) with the next highest balance(s). If there are not sufficient shares in the accounts to which the Letter applies, the Transfer Agent may escrow shares in other accounts that are linked for Right of Accumulation purposes. Additionally, if there are not sufficient shares available for escrow at the time of the first purchase under the Letter, the Transfer Agent will escrow future purchases until the escrow amount is met.

3. If, during the Letter period, an investor exchanges shares of the Fund for shares of another fund (as described in the Prospectus section titled "The OppenheimerFunds Exchange Privilege"), the Fund shares held in escrow will automatically be exchanged for shares of the other fund and the escrow obligations will also be transferred to that fund.

4. If the total purchases under the Letter are less than the intended purchases specified, on the first business day after the end of the Letter period, the Distributor will redeem escrowed shares equal in value to the difference between the dollar amount of the sales charges actually paid and the amount of the sales charges that would have been paid if the total purchases had been made at a single time. Any shares remaining after such redemption will be released from escrow.

5. If the terms of the Letter are fulfilled, the escrowed shares will be promptly released to the investor at the end of the Letter period.

6. 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.

Class B Conversion. Under current interpretations of applicable federal income tax law by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares 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. A fund account that has a balance below $500 due to the automatic conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares will not be subject to the Minimum Balance Fee (described below). However, once all Class B shares held in the account have been converted to Class A shares the new Class A share account balance may become subject to that fee.

Share Certificates. 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.

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.

AccountLink. Shares purchased through AccountLink will be purchased at the net asset value calculated on the same regular business day if the Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") transfer to buy the shares before the close of the NYSE. The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., but may close earlier on certain days. If the Distributor is instructed to initiate the ACH transfer after the close of the NYSE, the shares will be purchased on the next regular business day.

Dividends will begin to accrue on the shares purchased through the ACH system on the next regular business day after the purchase date. If the proceeds of an 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.

The minimum purchase through AccountLink is generally $50, however for accounts established prior to November 1, 2002 the minimum purchase is $25.

Asset Builder Plans. As indicated in the Prospectus, you normally must establish your Fund account with $1,000 or more. However, you can open a Fund account for as little as $500 if you establish an Asset Builder Plan at the time of your initial share purchase to automatically purchase additional shares directly from a bank account.

An Asset Builder Plan is available only if your bank is an ACH member and you establish AccountLink. Under an Asset Builder Plan, payments to purchase shares of the Fund will be debited from your bank account automatically. Normally the debit will be made two business days prior to the investment dates you select on your application. Neither the Distributor, the Transfer Agent nor the Fund will be responsible for any delays in purchasing shares that result from delays in ACH transmissions.

To establish an Asset Builder Plan at the time you initially purchase Fund shares, complete the "Asset Builder Plan" information on the Account Application. To establish an Asset Builder Plan for an existing account, use the Asset Builder Enrollment Form. The Account Application and the Asset Builder Enrollment Form are available by contacting the Distributor or may be downloaded from our website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com. Before you establish a new Fund account under the Asset Builder Plan, you should obtain a prospectus of the selected Fund and read it carefully.

You may change the amount of your Asset Builder payment or you can terminate your 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 minimum additional purchase under an Asset Builder Plan is $50, except that for Asset Builder Plans established prior to November 1, 2002, the minimum additional purchase is $25. Shares purchased by Asset Builder Plan payments are subject to the redemption restrictions for recent purchases described in the Prospectus. An Asset Builder Plan may not be used to buy shares for OppenheimerFunds employer-sponsored qualified retirement accounts. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering Asset Builder Plans at any time without prior notice.

How to Sell Shares

Receiving Redemption Proceeds by Federal Funds Wire. The Fund would normally authorize a Federal Funds wire of redemption proceeds to be made on its next regular business day following the redemption. A Federal Funds wire may be delayed if the Fund's custodian bank is not open for business on that day. In that case, the wire will not be transmitted until the next business day on which the bank and the Fund are both open for business. No dividends will be paid on the proceeds of redeemed shares awaiting transfer by Federal Funds wire.

Redeeming Shares Through Brokers or Dealers. The Distributor is the Fund's agent to repurchase its shares from authorized brokers or dealers 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 next net asset value computed after the Distributor or the broker or dealer receives the order. A repurchase will be processed at that day's net asset value if the order was received by the broker or dealer from its customer prior to the time the close of the NYSE. Normally, the NYSE closes at 4:00 p.m., but may do so earlier on some days.

For accounts redeemed through a broker-dealer, payment will ordinarily be made within three business days after the shares are redeemed. However, the Distributor must receive the required redemption documents in proper form, with the signature(s) of the registered shareholder(s) guaranteed as described in the Prospectus.

Payments "In Kind." As stated in the Prospectus, payment for redeemed shares is ordinarily made in cash. Under certain circumstances, however, the Board may determine that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders for the Fund to pay for the redeemed shares 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 Fund's portfolio. The Fund will value securities used to pay a redemption in kind using the same method described above under "Determination of Net Asset Value Per Share." That valuation will be made as of the time the redemption price is determined. If shares are redeemed in kind, the redeeming shareholder might incur brokerage or other costs in selling the securities for cash.

The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company Act. Under that rule, redemptions by a shareholder, of up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of the Fund during any 90-day period, must be redeemed solely in cash.

Automatic Withdrawal Plans. Under an Automatic Withdrawal Plan, investors who own Fund shares can authorize the Transfer Agent to redeem shares automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The minimum periodic redemption amount under an Automatic Withdrawal Plan is $50. Shareholders having AccountLink privileges may have Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments deposited to their designated bank account. Payments may also be made by check, payable to all shareholders of record and sent to the address of record for the account. Automatic withdrawals may be requested by telephone for amounts up to $1,500 per month if the payments are to be made by checks sent to the address of record for the account. Telephone requests are not available if the address on the account has been changed within the prior 15 days.

Fund shares will be redeemed as necessary to meet the requested withdrawal payments. Shares will be redeemed at the net asset value per share determined on the redemption date, which is normally three business days prior to the payment receipt date requested by the shareholder. The Fund cannot guarantee receipt of a payment on the date requested, however. 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 on 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.

Because of the sales charge assessed on Class A share purchases, shareholders should usually not make additional Class A share purchases while participating in an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. A shareholder whose account is subject to a CDSC should usually not establish an automatic withdrawal plan because of the imposition of the CDSC on the withdrawals. If a CDSC does apply to a redemption, the amount of the check or payment will be reduced accordingly. Distributions of capital gains from accounts subject to an Automatic Withdrawal Plan must be reinvested in Fund shares. Dividends on shares held in the account may be paid in cash or reinvested. Required minimum distributions from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored retirement plans may not be arranged on this basis.

The shareholder may change the amount, the payment interval, the address to which checks are to be mailed, the designated bank account for AccountLink payments or may terminate a plan at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent. A signature guarantee may be required for certain changes. The requested change will usually be put into effect approximately two weeks after such notification is received. The shareholder may redeem all or any part of the shares in the account by written notice to the Transfer Agent. That notice must be in proper form in accordance with the requirements in the then-current Fund Prospectus.

The Transfer Agent will administer the Automatic Withdrawal Plan as agent for the shareholder(s) who executed the plan authorization and application submitted to the Transfer Agent. Neither the Fund nor the Transfer Agent shall incur any liability for any action taken or not taken by the Transfer Agent in good faith to administer the plan. Any share certificates must be surrendered unendorsed to the Transfer Agent with the plan application to be eligible for automatic withdrawal payments. If the Transfer Agent ceases to act as transfer agent for the Fund, the shareholder will be deemed to have appointed any successor transfer agent to act as agent in administering the plan.

The Transfer Agent will terminate a plan upon its receipt of evidence, satisfactory to it, that the shareholder has died or is legally incapacitated. The Fund may also give directions to the Transfer Agent to terminate a plan. Shares that have not been redeemed at the time a plan is terminated will be held in an account in the name of the shareholder. Share certificates will not be issued for any such shares and all dividends will be reinvested in the account unless and until different instructions are received, in proper form, from the shareholder, his or her executor or guardian, or another authorized person.

The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering these plans at any time without prior notice. By requesting an Automatic Withdrawal Plan, the shareholder agrees to the terms and conditions that apply to such plans. 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.

Transfers of Shares. A shareholder will not be required to pay a CDSC when Fund shares are transferred to registration in the name of another person or entity. The transfer may occur 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 CDSC are transferred, the CDSC will continue to apply to the transferred shares and will be calculated as if the transferee had acquired the shares in the same manner and at the same time as the transferring shareholder.

If less than all of the shares held in an account are transferred, and some but not all shares in the account would be subject to a CDSC if redeemed at that time, the priorities for the imposition of the CDSC described in the Prospectus will be followed in determining the order in which the shares are transferred.

Minimum Account Balance. The minimum account balance is $500.

Minimum Balance Fee. A $12 annual "Minimum Balance Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a share balance of less than $500. The Minimum Balance Fee is automatically deducted from each such Fund account in September.

Listed below are certain cases in which the Fund has elected, in its discretion, not to assess the Minimum Balance Fee. These exceptions are subject to change:

A fund account whose shares were acquired after September 30th of the prior year;

Accounts of shareholders who elect to access their account documents electronically via eDoc Direct (to access account documents electronically via eDocs Direct, please visit our website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com and click the hyperlink "Sign Up for Electronic Document Delivery (eDocs Direct)" under the heading "I Want To," or call 1.888.470.0862 for instructions);

A fund account that has only certificated shares and has a balance below $500 and is being escheated;

Accounts of shareholders that are held by broker-dealers under the NSCC Fund/SERV system in Networking level 1 and 3 accounts;

Accounts held under the Oppenheimer Legacy Program and/or holding certain Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds;

Omnibus accounts holding shares pursuant to the Pinnacle, Ascender, Custom Plus, Recordkeeper Pro and Pension Alliance Retirement Plan programs;

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; and

Accounts held in the OppenheimerFunds Portfolio Builder Program which is offered through certain broker/dealers to qualifying shareholders.

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board has the right to involuntarily redeem shares held in any account with an aggregate net asset value of less than $200. The Board may change the amount of the aggregate net asset value to which this involuntary redemption policy may apply. 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 within the last 12-month period. If the Board exercises this right, it may also determine the requirements for any notice to be given to the shareholders (but not less than 30 days). Alternatively, the Board may set requirements for the shareholder to increase the investment, or set other terms and conditions so that the shares would not be involuntarily redeemed.

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 good faith compliance with those laws.

The Fund reserves the authority to modify the minimum balance policies in its discretion.

Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months after redeeming Class A or Class B shares, a shareholder may reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds in Class A shares without a sales charge if:

An initial sales charge was paid on the redeemed Class A shares or a Class A CDSC was paid when the shares were redeemed; or

The Class B CDSC was paid on the redeemed Class B shares.

The reinvestment may only be made in Class A shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds into which shares of the Fund are exchangeable, as described in "How to Exchange Shares" below. This privilege does not apply to any other share class or to purchases made through automatic investment options. The Fund may amend, suspend or cease offering this reinvestment privilege at any time for shares redeemed after the date of the amendment, suspension or cessation. The shareholder must request the reinvestment privilege from the Transfer Agent or his or her financial intermediary at the time of purchase.

Reinvestment will be at the next net asset value computed after the Transfer Agent receives the reinvestment order. 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 was 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 after the payment of the sales charge, in certain circumstances, 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, the sales charge would be added to the basis of the shares acquired with the redemption proceeds.

How to Exchange Shares

Shares of the Fund (including shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions from other Oppenheimer funds) may be exchanged for shares of certain other Oppenheimer funds at net asset value without the imposition of a sales charge, however a CDSC may apply to the acquired shares as described below. Shares of certain money market funds purchased without a sales charge may be exchanged for shares of other Oppenheimer funds offered with a sales charge upon payment of the sales charge. Exchanges into another Oppenheimer fund must meet any applicable minimum investment requirements of that fund.

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. The prospectus of each of the Oppenheimer funds indicates which share class or classes that fund offers and provides information about limitations on the purchase of particular share classes, as applicable for the particular fund. Shareholders that own more than one class of shares of the Fund must specify which class of shares they wish to exchange.

You can obtain a current list of the share classes offered by the funds by calling the toll-free phone number on the first page of this SAI.

The different Oppenheimer funds that are available for exchange have different investment objectives, policies and risks. A shareholder should determine whether the fund selected is appropriate for his or her investment goals 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. Some of the tax consequences of reinvesting redemption proceeds are discussed in "Reinvestment Privilege," above. 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.

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 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, however that notice is not required in extraordinary circumstances.

How Exchanges Affect Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. A CDSC will be imposed on Class A shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within the CDSC holding period that was applicable to the exchanged shares. For other share classes, a CDSC will be imposed if the shares are redeemed within the CDSC holding period that is applicable to the acquired shares. This includes the redemption of shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves and Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. that were acquired by exchange.

When shares that are subject to a CDSC are exchanged, the priorities for the imposition of the CDSC described in "About Your Account" in the Prospectus will be followed in determining the order in which the shares are exchanged. Before exchanging shares, shareholders should consider how the exchange may affect any CDSC that might be imposed on the subsequent redemption of any remaining shares.

For circumstances in which a CDSC on shares acquired by exchange may be waived, see Appendix A "Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers."

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.

Automatic Exchange Plans. Under an Automatic Exchange Plan, shareholders can authorize the Transfer Agent to exchange shares of the Fund for shares of other Oppenheimer funds automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The minimum amount that may be exchanged to each other fund account is $50. Instructions regarding the exchange amount, the selected fund(s) and the exchange interval should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds account application or by signature-guaranteed instructions. Any requested changes will usually be put into effect approximately two weeks after notification of a change is received. Exchanges made under these plans are subject to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in this SAI and in "The OppenheimerFunds Exchange Privilege" section in the Prospectus.

The Transfer Agent will administer the Automatic Exchange Plan as agent for the shareholder(s). Neither the Fund nor the Transfer Agent shall incur any liability for any action taken or not taken by the Transfer Agent in good faith to administer the plan. Any share certificates must be surrendered unendorsed to the Transfer Agent with the plan application to be eligible for automatic exchanges. If the Transfer Agent ceases to act as transfer agent for the Fund, the shareholder will be deemed to have appointed any successor transfer agent to act as agent in administering the plan.

The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering automatic exchanges at any time without prior notice. By requesting an Automatic Exchange Plan, the shareholder agrees to the terms and conditions that apply to such plans. These provisions may be amended from time to time and any amendments will automatically apply to existing Plans.

Processing Exchange Requests. Shares to be exchanged are redeemed at the net asset value calculated on the regular business day the Transfer Agent receives an exchange request in proper form before the close of the NYSE (the "Redemption Date"). Normally, shares of the fund to be acquired are purchased on the Redemption Date, but such purchases may be delayed by up to five business days if it is determined that either fund 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, any special features of your account that are available in the new fund (such as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Withdrawal Plan) will be applied to the new fund account unless you tell the Transfer Agent not to do so.

Shares that are subject to a restriction cited in the Prospectus or this SAI and shares covered by a share certificate that is not tendered will not be exchanged. If an exchange request includes such shares, only the shares available without restrictions will be exchanged.

Distributions and Taxes

Dividends and Other Distributions. Dividends will be payable on shares held of record at the time of the previous determination of net asset value, or as otherwise described in "How to Buy Shares." Daily dividends will not be declared or paid on newly purchased shares until such time as Federal Funds (funds credited to a member bank's account at the Federal Reserve Bank) are available from the purchase payment for such shares. Normally, purchase checks received from investors are converted to Federal Funds on the next business day. Shares purchased through dealers or brokers normally are paid for by the third business day following the placement of the purchase order.

Shares redeemed through the regular redemption procedure will be paid dividends through and including the day on which the redemption request is received by the Transfer Agent in proper form. Dividends will be declared on shares repurchased by a dealer or broker for three business days following the trade date (that is, up to and including the day prior to settlement of the repurchase). If all shares in an account are redeemed, all dividends accrued on shares of the same class in the account will be paid together with the redemption proceeds.

The Fund's practice of attempting to pay dividends on Class A shares at a constant level requires the Manager to monitor the Fund's portfolio and, if necessary, to select higher-yielding securities when it is deemed appropriate to seek income at the level needed to meet the target. Those securities must be within the Fund's investment parameters, however. The Fund expects to pay dividends at a targeted level from its net investment income and other distributable income without any impact on the net asset values per share.

Distributions are calculated in the same manner, at the same time, and on the same day for each class of shares but will normally differ in amount. Distributions on Class B and Class C shares are expected to be lower than distributions on Class A and Class Y shares because of the effect of the asset-based sales charge on Class B and Class C shares. Distributions are taxable to shareholders, as discussed below, 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.

Returned checks for the proceeds of redemptions are invested in shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. If a dividend check or a check representing an automatic withdrawal payment is returned to the Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as undeliverable, it will be reinvested in shares of the Fund. Reinvestments will be made as promptly as possible after the return of such checks to the Transfer Agent. 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.

Taxes. The federal tax treatment of the Fund and distributions to shareholders 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 SAI is based on tax laws in effect on the date of the Prospectus and SAI. Those laws and regulations may be changed by legislative, judicial, or administrative action, sometimes with retroactive effect. State and local tax treatment may differ from the treatment under the Internal Revenue Code as described below.

Before purchasing Fund shares, investors are urged to consult their tax advisers with reference to their own particular tax circumstances as well as the consequences of federal, state, local and any other jurisdiction's tax rules affecting an investment in the Fund.

Qualification and Taxation as a Regulated Investment Company. The Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As long as the Fund qualifies as a RIC, 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 capital gains over capital losses) that it distributed to shareholders.

If the Fund qualifies as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code, it will not be liable for federal income tax on amounts it pays as dividends and other distributions. That qualification enables the Fund to "pass through" its income and realized capital gains to shareholders without having to pay tax on them. The Fund qualified as a regulated investment company in its last fiscal year and intends to qualify in future years, but reserves the right not to qualify. The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests to determine whether the Fund qualifies. One or more Funds might not meet those tests in a particular year. If the Fund does not qualify, the Fund would (unless certain cure provisions apply) be treated for tax purposes as an ordinary corporation and would receive no tax deduction for payments of dividends and other distributions made to shareholders. In such an instance, all of the Fund's dividends would be taxable to shareholders.

Qualifying as a RIC . To qualify as a RIC, the Fund must be a domestic corporation that is either registered under the Investment Company Act as a management company or unit investment trust or is otherwise described in the Internal Revenue Code as having a specific status under the Investment Company Act. The Fund must also satisfy certain tests with respect to (i) the composition of its gross income, (ii) the composition of its assets and (iii) the amount of its dividend distributions.

Gross Income Test. To qualify as a RIC, the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to loans of securities, gains from the sale or other disposition of securities or foreign currencies, and certain other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such securities or currencies (including, but not limited to, gains from options, futures or forward contracts), and net income derived from interests in certain "qualified publicly traded partnerships."

Asset Test. In addition, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, the Fund must satisfy two asset tests. First, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets must consist of U.S. government securities, securities of other RIC's, securities of other issuers ("Other Issuers") and cash or cash items (including receivables). The securities of an Other Issuer are not counted towards satisfying the 50% test if the Fund either invests more than 5% of the value of the Fund's assets in the securities of that Other Issuer or holds more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that Other Issuer. Second, no more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets may be invested in (1) the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities and the securities of other RIC's), (2) the securities of two or more issuers (other than the securities of other RIC's) that the Fund controls and that are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses, or (3) the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships. For purposes of these tests, obligations issued or guaranteed by certain agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government are treated as U.S. government securities.

Dividend Distributions Test. During the taxable year or, under specified circumstances, within 12 months after the close of the taxable year, the Fund must distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income and at least 90% of its net tax-exempt income for the taxable year, which is generally its net investment income and the excess of its net short-term capital gain minus its net long-term capital loss.

Failure to Qualify. If the Fund failed to qualify as a RIC, it would (unless certain cure provisions apply) then be unable to deduct from its taxable income the dividend distributions made to its shareholders and therefore those amounts would be subject to a Fund-level corporate income tax. In addition, the Fund would not be able to characterize the distributions made to its shareholders as anything other than ordinary corporate distributions. To the extent the Fund had "earnings and profits" (as determined for tax purposes), distributions to its shareholders would be taxable as ordinary dividend income. In the case of individuals, those distributions may qualify for the maximum 15% tax rate on dividend income (for taxable years beginning before 2013) and, in the case of corporations, they may qualify for the dividends-received deduction.

Portfolio Investments Subject to Special Tax Rules. The Fund may engage in transactions and investments that are subject to special tax rules under the Internal Revenue Code. These special tax rules may, among other things, affect the Fund's holding period in its investments, change the character of, or accelerate, the Fund's income, defer or disallow the Fund's deductions and losses, and compel the Fund to report as taxable income mere increases in the value of its assets. For example, the Fund may invest in foreign currencies or securities denominated in foreign currencies. Under certain circumstances losses from foreign securities could be capital losses but gains from foreign currencies are ordinary income. Because capital losses cannot be deducted against ordinary income, this mismatch in character may negatively affect the character and amount of the Fund's distributions. Or part of an "interest" payment from a high yield debt obligation may be characterized for tax purposes as a dividend and, therefore, eligible for the dividends-received deduction available to corporations.

Certain positions in the Fund's portfolio may have to be "marked-to-market," (that is, treated as if they were sold and repurchased on the last day of the Fund's taxable year). Such "deemed sales" under the mark-to-market rules may alter the character, amount and timing of distributions to shareholders by requiring the Fund to make distributions in order to satisfy the RIC dividend distributions test even though the deemed sales generate no cash. The Fund will monitor its transactions, and seek to make appropriate tax elections and appropriate entries in its books and records in order to reduce the effect of the mark-to-market rules while remaining qualified for treatment as a RIC.

Excise Tax on Regulated Investment Companies. Under the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund must pay an annual, non-deductible excise tax unless, by December 31st each year, it distributes (1) 98% of its taxable investment income earned from January 1 through December 31, (2) 98.2% of its capital gain net income realized in the period from November 1 of the prior year through October 31 of the current year and (3) undistributed amounts from prior years. It is presently anticipated that the Fund will meet these distribution requirements, although to do so the Fund might be required to liquidate portfolio investments in certain circumstances. In some years, the Board and the Manager may determine that it would be in the shareholders' best interests for the Fund to pay the excise tax on undistributed amounts rather than making the required level of distributions. In that event, the tax may reduce shareholder total returns from the Fund.

Taxation of Fund Distributions. Distributions by the Fund will be treated in the manner described below regardless of whether the distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund (or of another fund). The Fund's distributions will be treated as dividends to the extent paid from the Fund's earnings and profits (as determined under the Internal Revenue Code). Distributions in excess of the Fund's earnings and profits will first reduce the adjusted tax basis of a shareholder's shares and, after such tax basis is reduced to zero, will constitute capital gain to the shareholder (assuming the shares are held as a capital asset). The Fund's dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporations. Shareholders reinvesting a distribution in shares of the distributing Fund, or one of the other Oppenheimer funds, 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.

Special Characteristics of Certain Distributions. Different types of Fund earnings may have different federal income tax characteristics, including different types of capital gains and different types of ordinary income. For example, if the Fund invests in stock, a portion of the Fund's ordinary income may be composed of dividends eligible for the dividends-received deduction or that qualify for the special maximum tax rate on "qualified dividend income" as described below. The Fund may also generate foreign tax credits. The Fund will allocate the tax characteristics of its earnings among its distributions as prescribed by the IRS. The percentage of each distribution that corresponds to a particular type of income will generally be based on how much of that income the Fund earns for the taxable year in accordance with the IRS rules, rather than how much of that income the Fund has earned at time of the distribution. Those percentages normally will be determined after the close of the Fund's taxable year. The Fund will provide a statement to shareholders shortly after the end of each year indicating the amount and character of distributions made during the preceding calendar year.

Distributions Derived from Dividends. If the Fund earns dividend income from U.S. corporations, for the Fund's corporate shareholders to claim the dividends-received deduction against the Fund's distributions, both the Fund and its corporate shareholders must satisfy special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. If a dividend the Fund receives on a stock held in its portfolio otherwise qualifies for the dividends-received deduction, the Fund still (1) must hold the stock for a minimum number of days during a specified period that includes the stock's ex-dividend date, (2) cannot enter into certain positions that reduce the risk of holding the stock and (3) cannot debt finance the stock. Similarly, distributions of otherwise qualifying dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction in the hands of a corporate shareholder of the Fund unless the corporate shareholder (1) holds the Fund's shares for at least 46 days during a specified period that includes the portfolio stock's ex-dividend date and (2) does not debt finance its investment in the Fund's shares. To the extent the Fund's distributions are derived from items such as option premiums, interest income, gains from the sale of securities, or dividends from foreign corporations, those distributions will not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.

If the Fund earns qualified dividend income, as discussed below, special rules may also apply to regular dividends paid to a non-corporate shareholder of the Fund during the shareholder's taxable years beginning before 2013. Provided that the shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies certain holding period and other requirements, those dividends may be subject to tax at the reduced rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals. Dividends subject to these special rules are not actually treated as capital gains, however. They are not included in the computation of the shareholder's net capital gain and generally cannot be offset by capital losses. For a taxable year of the Fund, (i) if 95% or more of the Fund's gross income is attributable to qualified dividend income (defined below), then the special maximum rate will apply to 100% of the regular dividends paid to the shareholder during such year and (ii) if less than 95% of the Fund's gross income is attributable to qualified dividend income, then the special maximum rate will only apply to the portion of the regular dividends reported by the Fund as qualified dividend income, which generally cannot exceed the ratio that the Fund's qualified dividend income bears to its gross income. Gross income, for these purposes, does not include gains attributable to the sale or other disposition of stocks and securities, except to the extent the net short-term capital gain from such sales and dispositions exceeds the net long-term capital loss from such sales and dispositions.

"Qualified dividend income" generally means dividends received by the Fund with respect to the stock of a U.S. corporation or qualified foreign corporation. It also includes dividends received with respect to the stock of a foreign corporation provided the stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities market. In each case, however, the Fund must hold the stock for a minimum number of days during a specified period that includes the stock's ex-dividend date and cannot enter into certain positions that reduce the risk of holding the stock. Qualified dividend income does not include "payments in lieu of dividends" received in securities lending transactions or dividends received from a real estate investment trust ("REIT") or another RIC, except to the extent such dividends were paid from qualified dividend income received and reported by such REIT or RIC. If a shareholder elects to treat Fund dividends as investment income for purposes of the limitation on the deductibility of investment interest, such dividends will not be treated as qualified dividend income.

Exempt-Interest Dividends. The Fund intends to satisfy the requirements under the Internal Revenue Code during each fiscal year to pay "exempt-interest dividends" to its shareholders. To qualify, at the end of each quarter of its taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets must consist of obligations described in Section 103(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Dividends that are derived from net interest income earned by the Fund on tax-exempt municipal securities and reported as "exempt-interest dividends" in a written notice sent by the Fund to its shareholders after the close of the Fund's taxable year will be excludable from gross income of shareholders for federal income tax purposes. To the extent any Fund fails to qualify to pay exempt-interest dividends in any given taxable year, such dividends would be included in the gross income of shareholders for federal income tax purposes.

The Fund will allocate interest from tax-exempt municipal securities (as well as ordinary income, capital gains, and tax preference items discussed below) among its shares according to a method that is based on the gross income allocable to each class of shareholders during the taxable year (or under another method, if prescribed by the IRS and SEC). The percentage of each distribution with respect to a taxable year of the Fund that is an exempt-interest dividend will be the same, even though that percentage may differ substantially from the percentage of the Fund's income that was tax-exempt during a particular portion of the year. This percentage normally will be determined after the close of the taxable year.

Exempt-interest dividends are excludable from a shareholder's gross income for federal income tax purposes. Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry shares of a regulated investment company paying exempt-interest dividends, such as the Fund, will not be deductible by the investor for federal income tax purposes to the extent attributable to exempt-interest dividends. Shareholders receiving Social Security or railroad retirement benefits should be aware that exempt-interest dividends are a factor in determining whether, and to what extent, such benefits are subject to federal income tax.

A portion of the exempt-interest dividends paid by the Fund may give rise to liability under the federal alternative minimum tax for individual or corporate shareholders. Income on certain private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, while excludable from gross income for purposes of the federal income tax, is an item of "tax preference" that must be included in income for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations. "Private activity bonds" are bonds that are used for purposes not generally performed by governmental entities and that benefit non-governmental entities. The amount of any exempt-interest dividends that is attributable to tax preference items for purposes of the alternative minimum tax will be identified when tax information is distributed by the Fund.

In addition, corporate taxpayers are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax based in part on certain differences between taxable income as adjusted for other tax preferences and the corporation's "adjusted current earnings," which more closely reflect a corporation's economic income. Because an exempt-interest dividend paid by the Fund will be included in adjusted current earnings, a corporate shareholder may be required to pay alternative minimum tax on exempt-interest dividends paid by the Fund.

Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisers with respect to their liability for federal alternative minimum tax, and for advice concerning the loss of exclusion from gross income for exempt-interest dividends paid to a shareholder who would be treated as a "substantial user" or "related person" under Section 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to property financed with the proceeds of an issue of private activity bonds held by the Fund.

Ordinary Income Dividends. Distributions from income earned by the Fund from one or more of the following sources will be treated as ordinary income to the shareholder:

certain taxable investments (such as certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, commercial paper and obligations of the U.S. government, or its agencies and instrumentalities) or from bonds or other debt obligations;

income from loans of portfolio securities;

income or gains from options or futures;

any net short-term capital gain; and

any market discount accrual on tax-exempt bonds.

Capital Gain Distributions. The Fund may either retain or distribute to shareholders its net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss). Currently, the Fund intends to distribute these gains. Distributed net capital gain that is properly reported will be taxable to the Fund's shareholders as long-term capital gain. The amount of distributions reported as net capital gain will be reported to shareholders shortly after the end of each year. Such treatment will apply no matter how long the shareholder has held Fund shares and even if the gain was recognized by the Fund before the shareholder acquired Fund shares.

If the Fund elects to retain all or a portion of its net capital gain for a taxable year, the Fund will be subject to tax on such gain at the highest corporate tax rate. If the Fund so elects, each shareholder of record on the last day of such taxable year will be informed of his or her portion of both the gain and the tax paid, will be required to report the gain as long-term capital gain, will be able to claim the tax paid as a refundable credit, and will increase the basis of his or her shares by the amount of the capital gain reported minus the tax credit.

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, an additional 3.8% Medicare tax will be imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from the Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person's "modified adjusted gross income" (in the case of an individual) or "adjusted gross income" (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount.

Backup Withholding. The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold 28% (currently scheduled to increase to 31% after 2012) of ordinary income dividends, capital gain 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 properly the receipt of interest or dividend income, 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 is identified in reports mailed to shareholders after the end of each calendar year with a copy sent to the IRS. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld generally may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a shareholder's federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely provided to the IRS.

Tax Consequences of Share Redemptions. If all or a portion of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is redeemed, the shareholder will generally recognize a gain or loss on the redeemed shares equal to the difference between the proceeds of the redeemed shares and the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the shares. In general, any gain or loss from the redemption of shares of the Fund will be considered capital gain or loss if the shares were held as a capital asset and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were held for more than one year. Any capital loss arising from the redemption of shares held for six months or less, however, 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. There are limits on the deductibility of capital losses in any year.

All or a portion of any loss on redeemed shares may be disallowed if the shareholder purchases other shares of the Fund within 30 days before or after the redemption (including purchases through the reinvestment of dividends). In that case, the basis of the acquired shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. For shares acquired on or before December 22, 2010, losses realized by a shareholder on the redemption of Fund shares within six months of purchase will be disallowed for federal income tax purposes to the extent of exempt-interest dividends received on such shares. For shares acquired after December 22, 2010, this disallowance rule will not apply to any exempt-interest regular dividend paid by the Fund, provided that the Fund declares exempt-interest dividends daily in an amount equal to at least 90% of its net tax-exempt interest and pays such dividends at least monthly. If a shareholder exercises the exchange privilege within 90 days after acquiring Fund shares, and no later than January 31 of the following calendar year, in certain circumstances, any loss that the shareholder recognizes on the exchange will be reduced, or any gain will be increased, to the extent that any sales charge paid on the exchanged shares reduces any charges the shareholder would have incurred on the purchase of the new shares in the absence of the exchange privilege. Such sales charge will be treated as an amount paid for the new shares.

Taxation of Foreign Shareholders. Under the Internal Revenue Code, taxation of a foreign shareholder depends primarily on whether the foreign shareholder's income from the Fund is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business. "Foreign shareholders" include, but are not limited to, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign trust, a foreign estate, a foreign corporation, or a foreign partnership.

If a foreign shareholder fails to provide a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status, the Fund will be required to withhold U.S. tax on ordinary income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of shares. Provided the Fund obtains a proper certification of foreign status, ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Fund to foreign shareholders and that are not "effectively connected income," will be subject to a U.S. withholding tax. The tax rate may be reduced if the foreign person's country of residence has an income tax treaty with the United States allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund. If the ordinary income dividends from the Fund are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, then the foreign shareholder may claim an exemption from the U.S. withholding tax described above provided the Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in the early part of each year with a copy sent to the IRS. Capital gain dividends are not subject to U.S. withholding tax unless the recipient is a nonresident alien who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the dividends are received. A foreign individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more generally loses his or her status as a nonresident alien.

For taxable years of the Fund beginning before January 1, 2012, properly reported dividends are generally exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax on foreign persons provided such dividends (i) are derived from the Fund's "qualified net interest income" (generally, the Fund's U.S. source interest income, other than certain contingent interest and interest from obligations of a corporation or partnership in which the Fund is a 10% or greater shareholder, reduced by expenses that are allocable to such income) or (ii) are derived from the Fund's "qualified short-term capital gains" (generally, the excess of the Fund's net short-term capital gain over the Fund's net long-term capital loss for such taxable year). In order to qualify for this exemption from withholding, a shareholder that is a foreign person must comply with applicable certification requirements relating to its non-U.S. status. However, depending on its circumstances, the Fund may report some, all, or none of its potentially eligible dividends as interest-related dividends or as short-term capital gain dividends, and/or treat such dividends, in whole or in part, as ineligible for this exemption from withholding on foreign persons. In the case of shares held through an intermediary, the intermediary may withhold even if the Fund reports the payment as qualified net interest income or qualified short-term capital gain. Shareholders that are foreign persons should contact their intermediaries with respect to the application of these rules to their accounts.

The tax consequences to foreign persons entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty may be different from those described in this SAI. Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisers with respect to the particular tax consequences of an investment in the Fund, including the applicability of the U.S. withholding taxes described above and the possible applicability of U.S. estate tax.

Under recently-enacted legislation, payments after 2012 of dividends on, and gross proceeds from the redemption of, shares of the Fund made to "foreign financial institutions" and certain other foreign entities will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless various certification, information reporting, due diligence and other applicable requirements (different from, and in addition to, those described above) are satisfied. Payments that are taken into account as effectively connected income are not subject to these withholding rules. Foreign shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the applicability and consequences of this new legislation to them.

Recently-enacted legislation imposes information reporting requirements on individuals that hold any interest in a "specified foreign financial asset" if the aggregate value of all such assets held by such individual exceeds $50,000. Significant penalties can apply upon a failure to make the required disclosure and in respect to understatements of tax attributable to undisclosed foreign financial assets. This information reporting requirement is generally applicable for taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010. The scope of this reporting requirement is not entirely clear and all shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to whether reporting may be required in respect of their indirect interests in the Fund's investments.

Tax Shelter and Other Reporting Requirements. If a shareholder realizes a loss on the disposition of Fund shares of at least $2 million in any single taxable year or $4 million in any combination of taxable years (for an individual shareholder); or at least $10 million in any single taxable year or $20 million in any combination of taxable years (for a corporate shareholder), the shareholder must file with the Internal Revenue Service a disclosure statement on Form 8886. Shareholders should consult their tax advisers to determine the applicability of this requirement in light of their individual circumstances.

Appendix A: Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A shares of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") that may apply to Class A, Class B, Class C or Class N shares may be waived. 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 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:

plans created or qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,
non-qualified deferred compensation plans,
"Grouped Plans," as defined in the section "Class N Share Availability" in this SAI (if applicable),
403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts, and
Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

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

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

I. Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases

Purchases of Class A Shares of Oppenheimer Funds That Are Not Subject to Initial Sales Charge but May Be Subject to the Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (unless a waiver applies). Class A shares acquired by conversion from another share class are not considered a "purchase" for any purpose.

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 CDSC if redeemed within 18 months (24 months in the case of shares of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals shares purchased prior to 10/22/07), 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 CDSC, the Distributor will pay the applicable concession described in the Prospectus under "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."¹ This waiver provision applies to:

Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more ($250,000 or more for certain Funds).

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:

through a broker, dealer, bank or registered investment adviser that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases, or
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:

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"). 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 $5 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.
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 $5 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.
The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date of the plan sponsor signs that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).

Appendix B: Special Considerations Relating to Municipal Obligations in New York and U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions

Because the Fund invests in securities issued by New York or entities within New York, an investment in the Fund may involve greater risk than investments in certain other types of municipal bond funds. You should consider carefully the special risks inherent in the Fund's investment in New York municipal securities.

The Fund also invests in municipal securities issued by certain territories, commonwealths and possessions of the United States that pay interest that is exempt (in the opinion of the issuer's legal counsel when the security is issued) from federal income tax and the Fund's state personal income tax. Therefore, the Fund's investments could be affected by the fiscal stability of, for example, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam or the Mariana Islands. Additionally, the Fund's investments could be affected by economic, legislative, regulatory or political developments affecting issuers in those territories, commonwealths or possessions.

Following is a discussion of special considerations relating to the Fund's investments in municipal securities issues by New York, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and the Mariana Islands.

New York

The following section provides only a summary of the complex factors affecting the financial situation in New York State (as used in this section, the "State") and is not intended to be a complete description. It is primarily derived from the Annual Information Statement of the State of New York and updates and supplements thereto (collectively, the "AIS") that were available prior to the date of this SAI. The accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the AIS have not been independently verified. The information provided below is subject to change without notice, and the inclusion of such information herein shall not under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the State since the date hereof.

Financial Disclosure for the State of New York

The State of New York's most recently completed fiscal year began on April 1, 2010 and ended on March 31, 2011. The State enacted the budget for the fiscal year, which began on April 1, 2011 and ends on March 31, 2012, on April 11, 2011 (the "Enacted Budget"). The disclosure below is based on the Annual Information Statement of the State ("AIS") which was released on May 24, 2011 and the Quarterly Update released on February 8, 2012.

Special Considerations

Complex political, social, environmental and economic forces influence the State's economy and finances, many of which are outside the ability of the State to control. These include, but are not limited to, the performance of the national and State economies; the impact of continuing write-downs and other costs affecting the profitability of the financial services sector, and the concomitant effect on bonus income and capital gains realizations; access to the capital markets in light of the disruption in the municipal bond market; litigation against the State, including challenges to certain tax actions and other actions authorized in the Enacted Budget; and actions taken by the Federal government, including audits, disallowances, and changes in aid levels. Such forces may affect the State Financial Plan unpredictably from fiscal year to fiscal year.

For example, the State Financial Plan is based upon forecasts of national and State economic activity developed through both internal analysis and review of national and State economic forecasts prepared by commercial forecasting services and other public and private forecasters. Economic forecasts have frequently failed to predict accurately the timing and magnitude of changes in the national and the State economies. Many uncertainties exist in forecasts of both the national and State economies, including consumer attitudes toward spending, the extent of corporate and governmental restructuring, the condition of the financial sector, federal fiscal and monetary policies, the level of interest rates, and the condition of the world economy, which could have an adverse effect on the State. There can be no assurance that the State economy will not experience results in the current fiscal year that are materially worse than predicted, with corresponding material and adverse effects on the State's projections of receipts and disbursements. For more information, see the section entitled "Economics and Demographics" in the AIS.

Projections of total State receipts in the Financial Plan are based on the State tax structure in effect during the fiscal year and on assumptions relating to basic economic factors and their historical relationships to State tax receipts. In preparing projections of State receipts, economic forecasts relating to personal income, wages, consumption, profits and employment have been particularly important. The projection of receipts from most tax or revenue sources is generally made by estimating the change in yield of such tax or revenue source from its estimated tax base.

Projections of total State disbursements are based on assumptions relating to economic and demographic factors, levels of disbursements for various services provided by local governments (where the cost is partially reimbursed by the State), and the results of various administrative and statutory mechanisms in controlling disbursements for State operations. Factors that may affect the level of disbursements in the fiscal year include uncertainties relating to the economy of the nation and the State, the policies of the federal government, and changes in the demand for the use of State services.

An additional risk to the State Financial Plan arises from the potential impact of certain litigation and of federal disallowances now pending against the State, which could adversely affect the State's projections of receipts and disbursements. The State Financial Plan assumes no significant litigation or Federal disallowances or other federal actions that could affect State finances. For more information on litigation pending against the State, see the section entitled "Litigation and Arbitration" in the AIS.

The Division of Budget ("DOB") believes that its projections of receipts and disbursements relating to the Updated Financial Plan, and the assumptions on which they are based, are reasonable. Actual results, however, could differ materially and adversely from the projections set forth in the AIS. In the past, the State has taken management actions to address potential Financial Plan shortfalls, and DOB believes it could take similar actions should variances occur in its projections for the current fiscal year.

Actions affecting the level of receipts and disbursements, the relative strength of the State and regional economy, and actions by the Federal government have helped to create projected structural budget gaps for the State. These gaps result in a significant disparity between recurring revenues and the costs of maintaining or increasing the level of support for State programs. To address a potential imbalance in any given fiscal year, the State would be required to take actions to increase receipts and/or reduce disbursements as it enacts the budget for that year, and, under the State Constitution, the Governor is required to propose a balanced budget each year. There can be no assurance, however, that the Legislature will enact the Governor's proposals or that the State's actions will be sufficient to preserve budgetary balance in a given fiscal year or to align recurring receipts and disbursements in future fiscal years.

In any year, the Financial Plan is subject to risks that, if they were to materialize, could affect operating results. Other risks and special considerations include the following:

State Cash Flow Projections

State Finance Law authorizes the General Fund to borrow resources temporarily from other available funds in the State's STIP for a period not to exceed four months or to the end of the fiscal year, whichever occurs first. The amount of resources that can be borrowed by the General Fund is limited to the available balances in STIP, as determined by the State Comptroller (available balances include money in the State's governmental funds, as well as certain other money).

The General Fund used this authorization to meet payment obligations in May, June, September, November and December 2010 and April 2011. It is expected that the General Fund will rely on this borrowing authority at times during the remainder of the fiscal year.

To date, the State has taken actions to maintain adequate operating margins, and expects to continue to do so as events warrant. The State continues to reserve money to make the debt service payments scheduled for each upcoming quarter that are financed with General Fund resources. Money to pay debt service on bonds secured by dedicated receipts, including PIT bonds, continues to be set aside as required by law and bond covenants.

It is expected that the General Fund on certain days will continue to borrow from STIP. DOB will continue to closely monitor and manage the General Fund cash flow during the fiscal year in an effort to maintain adequate operating balances.

Federal Funding

The State receives a substantial amount of Federal aid for health care, education, transportation and other governmental purposes. The Enacted Budget Financial Plan assumes relatively stable levels of Federal aid over the forecast period. Changes in Federal funding levels could have a materially adverse impact on the Enacted Budget Financial Plan.

The Enacted Budget Financial Plan may be adversely affected by actions taken by the Federal government, including audits, disallowances, changes in aid levels, and changes to Medicaid rules. For example, all Medicaid claims are subject to audit and review by the Federal government. The Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Serivces (CMS) has engaged the State regarding claims for services provided to individuals in developmental centers operated by OPWDD. Although no official audit has commenced and the rates paid for these services are established in full accordance with the methodology set forth in the approved State Plan, adverse action by CMS relative to these claims could jeopardize a significant amount of Federal financial participation in the State Medicaid program. The State has begun the process of seeking CMS approval to proceed with the development of a new demonstration waiver to create a contemporary and sustainable system of service funding and delivery for individuals with developmental disabilities. In addition, the Enacted Budget Financial Plan assumes a Medicaid rate increase in fiscal year 2012 to cover the cost of continuing to provide services to individuals residing in State Development Centers. This increase is primarily attributable to a volume adjustment related to the State's ongoing efforts to move individuals with developmental disabilities into more individualized community-based residential settings. An adverse decision regarding this rate increase would jeopardize approixmately $150 million in Federal Financial Participation currently assumed in the Enacted Budget Financial Plan.

Health Insurance Company Conversions

State law permits a health insurance company to convert its organizational status from a not-for-profit to a for-profit corporation (a "health care conversion"), subject to a number of terms, conditions, and approvals. Under State law, the State must use the proceeds from a health care company conversion for health-care-related expenses included in the HCRA account. For planning purposes, the Enacted Budget Financial Plan assumes no proceeds from a health care conversion in fiscal year 2012, but counts on proceeds of approximately $250 million annually in future years of the plan, which would be deposited into HCRA. If a conversion does not occur on the timetable or at the levels assumed in the Enacted Budget Financial Plan, the State would be required to take other actions to increase available resources or to reduce planned spending to fund projected HCRA disbursements.

Labor Settlements

The Enacted Budget Financial Plan for fiscal year 2012 includes a reserve of $346 million to cover the costs of a pattern settlement with all unions that have not agreed to contracts for fiscal year 2008 through fiscal year 2011. The pattern is based on the terms agreed to by the State's largest unions for this period. There can be no assurance that actual settlements, some of which are subject to binding arbitration, will not exceed the amounts included in the Enacted Budget Financial Plan. An additional risk is the potential cost of salary increases for judges which could occur in fiscal year 2013 and beyond as a result of the actions of a statutorily authorized judicial compensation commission. The Enacted Budget Financial Plan does not include any costs for potential general wage increases after the current labor agreements expire or for salary increases for judges.

Other Financial Plan Risks

The Updated Financial Plan forecast also contains specific transaction risks and other uncertainties including, but not limited to, the receipt of certain payments from public authorities; the receipt of miscellaneous revenues at the levels expected in the Financial Plan; and the achievement of cost-saving measures including, but not limited to, administrative savings in State agencies, including workforce management initiatives, and the transfer of available fund balances to the General Fund at the levels currently projected. Such risks and uncertainties, if they were to materialize, could have an adverse impact on the Updated Financial Plan.

Finally, there can be no assurance that (1) receipts will not fall below current projections, requiring additional budget-balancing actions in the current year, and (2) the gaps projected for future years will not increase materially from the projections set forth in the AIS.

The U.S. Economy

The most recent data indicate that extreme winter weather and spiking energy prices had a substantial impact on economic activity in the first calendar year quarter of 2011. The national economy grew 1.8 percent in the first quarter, with real household and private business spending weakening substantially relative to the fourth quarter of 2010. Although demand appears to have rebounded in March, growth in the second and third quarters is expected to continue to be affected by the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East and volatile energy prices. Real U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is projected to grow 2.9 percent for calendar year 2011, approximately the same level of growth as in calendar year 2010. The national economy is expected to add approximately 2.5 million jobs in 2011, representing annual growth of 1.3 percent. This projection is consistent with the unemployment rate averaging 8.5 percent in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2010. Personal income is projected to grow 5.2 percent for 2011, with its largest component, wages and salaries, projected to grow by 4.3 percent.

Over the three months from February through April 2011, the daily spot price of domestically produced oil, as represented by West Texas Intermediate Crude, rose 27 percent; the price of imported oil rose even faster. Meanwhile, the average weekly price of unleaded gasoline was up 27 percent over the same period and was fast approaching its July 2008 high. Since then, energy prices have fallen below their most recent peaks, but with the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, energy prices are likely to continue to be volatile. Annualized quarterly inflation, as represented by growth in the CPI, accelerated from 2.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 to 5.2 percent in the first quarter of 2011. Core inflation, which excludes the volatile food and energy components, also accelerated from 0.6 percent to 1.7 percent during this time period. DOB is projecting 2011 inflation of 2.7 percent.

Despite mounting inflationary pressure, the Federal Reserve is still expected to complete its $600 billion long-run asset purchase program, popularly referred to as QE2, by the end of June as scheduled, and begin moving away from its zero-percent short-term interest rate target before the end of 2011. The 10-year Treasury yield is expected to average 3.7 percent in 2011. The outlook for corporate profits and equity markets remains favorable, as the corporate sector continues to reap the benefits of low interest rates and global economic growth.

The national recovery is expected to continue to gain strength following a weak first quarter, but significant risks remain. Inflation - and energy prices in particular - represent the most uncertain element of the national economic forecast. Continued unrest in several major oil-exporting nations increases the risk of an extended period of high oil and gasoline prices. Higher energy prices act effectively as a tax on household and business spending, and can be expected to result in lower spending in other areas. In addition, the fallout from the Japanese earthquake and tsunami could cause more extensive supply disruptions than currently anticipated. Both of these developments could diminish the pace of job growth relative to current projections and impede the recovery in household spending from a relatively weak first quarter. Lower household spending and weaker job growth could both add to the strain already being faced by state and local governments, with no relief from property prices on the horizon. In contrast, a sudden resolution of the turmoil in the Middle East, accompanied by faster global growth than projected, could result in stronger growth than is reflected in this forecast.

The New York Economy

In contrast to that of the nation, the pace of New York's economic recovery continues to exceed expectations. The downstate economy has been buttressed by the continued improvement of the financial sector, while the State's tourism and export industries are enjoying the benefits of a weak dollar. Total State employment growth of 0.7 percent is projected for 2011, with private sector employment growth expected to be 1.3 percent. Wage growth of 3.8 percent is projected for 2011.

All of the risks to the U.S. forecast apply to the State forecast as well, although as the nation's financial capital, the volume of financial market activity and equity market volatility present a particularly large element of uncertainty for New York. In addition, with Wall Street still adjusting compensation practices in the wake of the passage of financial reform legislation, the timing of cash bonus payouts has become very unstable, making inference from past patterns more uncertain. A weaker labor market than projected could result in lower wages, which in turn could result in weaker household consumption. Similarly, should financial and real estate markets be weaker than anticipated, taxable capital gains realizations could be negatively affected. These effects would ripple through the State economy, depressing both employment and wage growth. In contrast, stronger national and world economic growth, or a stronger upturn in stock prices, along with a greater volume of merger and acquisition and other Wall Street activity, could result in higher wage and bonuses growth than projected.

New York is the third most populous state in the nation and has a relatively high level of personal wealth. The State's economy is diverse, with a comparatively large share of the nation's financial activities, information, education, and health services employment, and a very small share of the nation's farming and mining activity. The State's location and its air transport facilities and natural harbors have made it an important link in international commerce. Travel and tourism constitute an important part of the economy. Like the rest of the nation, New York has a declining proportion of its workforce engaged in manufacturing, and an increasing proportion engaged in service industries. In 2003, Federal and state governments began reporting employment and wage statistics in accordance with the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Manufacturing: Manufacturing employment continues to decline as a share of total State employment, as in most other states, and as a result New York's economy is less reliant on this sector than in the past. However, it remains an important sector of the State economy, particularly for the upstate region, which hosts high concentrations of manufacturers of transportation and other types of equipment.

Trade, Transportation, and Utilities: As defined under NAICS, the trade, transportation, and utilities supersector accounts for the third largest component of State nonagricultural employment, but only the fifth largest when measured by wage share. This sector accounts for less employment and wages for the State than for the nation.

Financial Activities: New York City is the nation's leading center of banking and finance and, as a result, this is a far more important sector in the State than in the nation as a whole. Although this sector accounts for under one-tenth of all nonagricultural jobs in the State, it contributes more than one-fifth of total wages.

Other Service Sectors: The remaining service-producing sectors include information, professional and business services, private education and healthcare, leisure and hospitality services, and other services. These industries combined account for more than four of every ten nonagricultural jobs in New York and, except for leisure and hospitality, each accounts for a higher proportion of total State employment than for the nation as a whole.

Agriculture: Farming is an important part of the economy in rural areas, although it constitutes only about 0.2 percent of total State output. Principal agricultural products of the State include milk and dairy products, greenhouse and nursery products, fruits, and vegetables. New York ranks among the nation's leaders in the production of these commodities.

Government: Federal, state, and local governments together comprise the second largest sector in terms of nonagricultural jobs, with the bulk of the employment accounted for by local governments. Public education is the source of nearly one-half of total State and local government employment.

The importance of the different sectors of the State's economy relative to the national economy is shown in the above table, which compares nonagricultural employment and wages by sector for the State and the nation as a whole. Manufacturing and construction account for smaller shares of employment for the State than for the nation, while service industries account for a larger share. The financial activities sector share of total wages is particularly large for the State relative to the nation. Thus, the State is likely to be less affected than the nation as a whole during an economic recession that is concentrated in manufacturing and construction, but likely to be more affected by any economic downturn that is concentrated in the services sector.

Financial Plan Projections (Fiscal Years 2012 through 2015).

This section presents the State's updated multi-year Financial Plan projections for receipts and disbursements, reflecting the impact of the fiscal year 2012 Enacted Budget actions. The projections cover the period for fiscal years 2012 through 2015, with an emphasis on the fiscal year 2012 projections.

The State's cash-basis budgeting system, complex fund structure, and practice of earmarking certain tax receipts for specific purposes complicates the discussion of the State's receipts and disbursement projections. Therefore, to minimize the distortions caused by these factors and, equally important, to highlight relevant aspects of the projections, DOB has adopted the following approaches in summarizing the projections:

Receipts: The detailed discussion of tax receipts covers projections for both the General Fund and State Funds (including capital projects). The latter perspective reflects overall estimated tax receipts before their diversion among various funds and accounts, including tax receipts dedicated to capital projects funds (which fall outside of the General Fund and State Operating Funds accounting perspectives). DOB believes this presentation provides a clearer picture of projected receipts, trends and forecast assumptions, by factoring out the distorting effects of earmarking.

Disbursements: Over 40 percent of projected State-financed spending for operating purposes is accounted for outside of the General Fund and is primarily concentrated in the areas of health care, School Aid, higher education, transportation and mental hygiene. To provide a clearer picture of spending commitments, the multi-year projections and growth rates are presented, where appropriate, on both a General Fund and State Operating Funds basis. The projections for School Aid and Medicaid reflect the fiscal year 2012 Enacted Budget spending limitations, as described earlier.

In evaluating the State's multi-year operating forecast, it should be noted that the reliability of the estimates and projections as a predictor of the State's future financial position is likely to diminish the further removed such estimates and projections are from the date of the AIS. Accordingly, in terms of the outyear projections, fiscal year 2013 is the most relevant from a planning perspective. DOB estimates that the Enacted Budget provides for a balanced General Fund Financial Plan in fiscal year 2012 and leaves projected gaps that total approximately $2.4 billion in fiscal year 2013, $2.8 billion in fiscal year 2014, and $4.6 billion in fiscal year 2015. The projected net operating shortfalls in State Operating Funds are projected at $1.8 billion in fiscal year 2013, $2.1 billion in fiscal year 2014, and $3.8 billion in fiscal year 2015.

The imbalances projected for the General Fund and State Operating Funds in future years are similar because the General Fund is the financing source of last resort for many State programs. Imbalances in other funds are typically financed by the General Fund.

FISCAL YEAR 2012 OVERVIEW

RECEIPTS

Financial Plan receipts comprise a variety of taxes, fees, and charges for State-provided services, Federal grants, and other miscellaneous receipts. The receipts estimates and projections have been prepared by DOB on a multi-year basis with the assistance of the Department of Taxation and Finance and other agencies responsible for the collection of State receipts.

Tax receipts are expected to grow at an average annual rate of approximately 4.2 percent over the multi-year Financial Plan. The tax forecast reflects the sunset of the PIT surcharge after tax year 2011, and an expected continuation of modest economic growth in the New York State economy.

Overview of the Receipts Forecast

• During the first calendar quarter of 2011 New York's recovery continued to gather momentum, with employment and wages registering their fourth and fifth consecutive quarters of growth, respectively. As a result of this growth and accompanying changes in consumer spending and corporate profits, receipts are expected to grow for the second consecutive year in fiscal year 2012.

• After declining 12.3 percent in fiscal year 2010, base receipts adjusted for tax law changes, grew by 2.1 percent in FY 2011 and are expected to increase by 7.5 percent in fiscal year 2012.

• Corporate profits are expected to record a second consecutive year of growth in calendar year 2011, albeit at a reduced rate compared to 2010. This is expected to translate into continued growth in business tax receipts in fiscal year 2012.

• Both the PIT settlement for tax year 2010 and first quarter 2011 financial sector bonus payments surpassed expectations (compared to the State's last public Financial Plan) and provide the basis for 2011 PIT liability growth of 7.2 percent. A portion of the PIT settlement appears related to the impact of capital gains realized during late 2010 in anticipation of the end of preferential Federal tax rates. This is likely a one-time benefit to revenue results. These lower rates were ultimately extended, but not until December 7, 2010.

• After a decline of 1.6 percent in fiscal year 2010, consumer spending on taxable goods and services rose 7.5 percent in FY 2011 and is estimated to rise 5.4 percent in fiscal year 2012.

• The volatility in oil prices due to the situation in some oil-exporting countries presents a downside risk to the receipts forecast. The uncertainty surrounding fuel prices over the near-term horizon could result in slower receipts growth than anticipated.

• While receipts growth has improved, results to date reflect growth compared to the weak receipts base of the past three fiscal years.

Base growth in tax receipts of 7.5 percent is estimated for fiscal year 2012, after adjusting for law changes, and is projected to be 7.2 percent in fiscal year 2013. These projected increases in overall base growth in tax receipts are dependent on many factors, including: continued growth in a broad range of economic activities; improving profitability and compensation gains, particularly among financial services companies; recovery in the overall real estate market, particularly the residential market; and increases in consumer spending as a result of wage and employment gains.

Personal Income Tax. PIT receipts for fiscal year 2012 are projected to be $39.1 billion, an increase of $2.9 billion, or 7.9 percent above fiscal year 2011. This increase reflects stronger growth in extension payments for tax year 2010 ($1.2 billion), stronger growth in estimated payments for tax year 2011 ($944 million) and higher fiscal year 2011 refunds caused by the deferral of $500 million of planned fiscal year 2010 refunds into fiscal year 2011. Withholding, the largest component of PIT is also projected to be 1.8 percent ($562 million) higher than fiscal year 2011, reflecting a combination of moderate underlying wage growth of 4.0 percent and the expiration of the temporary rate increase at the end of December 2011.

User Taxes and Fees. User taxes and fees receipts for fiscal year 2012 are estimated to be $14.7 billion, an increase of $467 million or 3.3 percent from fiscal year 2011. Sales tax receipts are expected to increase by $377 million due to base growth of 5.4 percent ($543 million) and incremental law changes ($43 million). This increase is offset in part by the sunset of a provision that temporarily eliminated the exemption on the per-item price of clothing ($120 million) and other adjustments ($89 million). The exemption on clothing will be $55 in fiscal year 2012, increasing to $110 in fiscal year 2013. Non-sales tax user taxes and fees are estimated to increase by $90 million from fiscal year 2011, mainly due to the full implementation of the cigarette and tobacco tax rate increases as well as assumed part-year enforcement of provisions enacted in fiscal year 2011. Highway use tax receipts are estimated to increase by $15 million due to additional enforcement efforts, including carrier decal requirements. User taxes and fees receipts for fiscal year 2013 are projected to be $15.1 billion, an increase of $457 million, or 3.1 percent from fiscal year 2012. This increase largely reflects an increase in sales tax receipts ($357 million) and cigarette tax collections ($86 million).

General Fund user taxes and fees receipts are expected to total $9.1 billion in fiscal year 2012, an increase of $310 million or 3.5 percent from fiscal year 2011. The increase largely reflects an increase in sales tax receipts ($295 million) and cigarette and tobacco tax collections ($12 million).

Business Tax Receipts. Business tax receipts for fiscal year 2012 are estimated at $8.2 billion, an increase of $895 million, or 12.3 percent from the prior year. The estimates reflect base growth across all taxes from an improving economy as well as an incremental increase of $323 million from the deferral of certain tax credits that was part of the fiscal year 2011 Enacted Budget. Adjusted for this deferral, growth is 7.8 percent.

The annual increase in the corporate franchise tax of $617 million is attributable to the incremental increase of $323 million from the tax credit deferral as well as continued growth in corporate profits. Corporate profits are expected to grow 7.0 percent in calendar year 2011. Higher audit receipts and lower refunds also contribute to growth in fiscal year 2012. Corporate franchise tax growth adjusted for the credit deferral is 10.3 percent for fiscal year FY 2012. Both the corporation and utilities tax and the insurance tax are expected to return to trend growth in fiscal year 2012 after declines of 14.7 percent and 9.4 percent, respectively, in fiscal year 2011. The economic downturn and several unusual items in the corporation and utilities tax in fiscal year 2011 (e.g. a Tax Tribunal decision that resulted in a fiscal year 2011 refund of $37 million) contributed to the year-over-year decline in these two taxes. The bank tax is estimated to grow 11.8 percent in fiscal year 2012, consistent with the expected improvement in economic conditions and the credit markets. Business tax receipts for fiscal year 2013 of $8.7 billion are projected to increase $504 million, or 6.2 percent over the prior year reflecting growth across all business taxes.

General Fund business tax receipts for fiscal year 2012 of $6.1 billion are estimated to increase by $823 million, or 15.6 percent above fiscal year 2011 results. Business tax receipts deposited to the General Fund reflect the All Funds trends, and policy changes discussed above. General Fund business tax receipts for fiscal year 2013 of $6.5 billion are projected to increase $355 million, or 5.8 percent from the prior year.

Other tax receipts. Other tax receipts for fiscal year 2012 are estimated to be $1.7 billion, a decrease of $167 million or 9.2 percent from fiscal year 2011. This reflects a decline of $203 million (16.7 percent) in estate tax receipts and $3 million (17.6 percent) in the pari-mutuel tax as a result of atypically large estate payments in fiscal year 2011 and the closure of NYC Off Track Betting in December 2010, respectively. This decline is partially offset by growth of $40 million (6.9 percent) in the real estate transfer tax as a result of strong commercial activity and improving vacancy rates in New York City. Other tax receipts for fiscal year 2013 are projected to be nearly $1.8 billion, an increase of $125 million or 7.6 percent from fiscal year 2012. This reflects modest growth in the real estate transfer tax and estate tax receipts.

Other tax receipts in the General Fund are expected to be $1.0 billion in fiscal year 2012, a decrease of $207 million or 16.7 percent from fiscal year 2011. This reflects the declines in the estate tax and pari-mutuel taxes noted above. In FY 2013, other tax receipts in the General Fund are expected to total approximately $1.1 billion. This reflects an increase of $55 million in estate tax receipts due to a forecast increase in household net worth.

Miscellaneous receipts include monies received from HCRA financing sources, SUNY tuition and patient income, lottery receipts for education, assessments on regulated industries, and a variety of fees and licenses. All Funds miscellaneous receipts are projected to total $23.4 billion in FY 2012, an increase of $260 million from FY 2011, largely driven by growth in SUNY Income Fund revenues ($375 million), which includes the anticipated acquisition of LICH and the incorporation of its financial activities within SUNY, partially offset by the decline or non-recurrence in other sources of miscellaneous receipts.

All Funds miscellaneous receipts are projected to increase by $395 million in FY 2013 driven by increases in HCRA resources ($544 million), SUNY Income Fund revenues ($238 million) and lottery receipts ($169 million), partially offset by a projected decline in programs financed with authority bond proceeds, including economic development and health projects ($331 million).

Federal grants help pay for State spending on Medicaid, temporary and disability assistance, mental hygiene, School Aid, public health, and other activities. Annual changes to Federal grants generally correspond to changes in federally-reimbursed spending. Accordingly, DOB typically plans for Federal reimbursement to be received in the State fiscal year in which spending occurs. All Funds Federal grants are projected to total $43.3 billion in fiscal year 2012, a decline of $6.0 billion from fiscal year 2011, reflecting the phase-out of extraordinary Federal stimulus aid, including enhanced FMAP. The expiration of Federal ARRA aid is the primary contributor to the All Funds Federal grant decline of $3.6 billion in fiscal year 2013.

General Fund miscellaneous receipts and Federal grants collections are estimated to be nearly $3.2 billion in fiscal year 2012, on par with fiscal year 2011 results.

General Fund miscellaneous receipts for fiscal year 2013 are projected to decline by $181 million from the current year, and primarily reflect the loss of certain one-time sweeps and payments expected in fiscal year 2012.

DISBURSEMENTS

General Fund disbursements in fiscal year 2012 are estimated to total $56.9 billion, an increase of $1.6 billion (2.8 percent) over preliminary fiscal year 2011 results. With State Operating Funds disbursements for fiscal year 2012 are estimated to total $86.9 billion, an increase of $2.5 billion (2.9 percent) over preliminary fiscal year 2011 results.

The multi-year disbursement projections take into account agency staffing levels, program caseloads, formulas contained in State and Federal law, inflation and other factors. The factors that affect spending estimates vary by program. For example, welfare spending is based primarily on anticipated caseloads that are estimated by analyzing historical trends and projected economic conditions. Projections account for the timing of payments, since not all of the amounts appropriated in the Budget are disbursed in the same fiscal year. Consistent with past years, the aggregate spending projections (i.e., the sum of all projected spending by individual agencies) in special revenue funds have been adjusted downward in all fiscal years based on typical spending patterns and the observed variance between estimated and actual results over time.

Over the multi-year Financial Plan, spending is expected to increase by an average annual rate of 4.3 percent in the General Fund and 3.7 percent in State Operating Funds. The projections reflect spending at the target growth rates for Medicaid and School Aid, and include a preliminary estimate of the effect of national health care reform on State health care costs. The growth in spending projections reflect an expected return to a lower Federal matching rate for Medicaid expenditures after June 30, 2011, which will increase the share of Medicaid costs that must be financed by State resources, and the expected loss of temporary Federal aid for education.

Medicaid, education, pension costs, employee and retiree health benefits, social services programs and debt service are significant drivers of spending growth over the Plan period.

CASH-BASIS RESULTS FOR PRIOR FISCAL YEARS

The State reports its financial results on two bases of accounting: the cash basis, showing receipts and disbursements; and the modified accrual basis, prescribed by GAAP, showing revenues and expenditures. With the exception of fiscal year 2011 results, the State's financial results set forth in this section have been audited.

GENERAL FUND FISCAL YEAR 2009 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2011

The General Fund is the principal operating fund of the State and is used to account for all financial transactions, except those required by law to be accounted for in another fund. It is the State's largest single fund and receives most State taxes and other resources not dedicated to particular purposes. General Fund moneys are also transferred to other funds, primarily to support certain State share Medicaid payments, capital projects and debt service payments in other fund types. In some cases, the fiscal year results provided below may exclude certain timing-related transactions which have no net impact on operations.

In the cash basis of accounting, the State defines a balanced budget in the General Fund as (a) the ability to make all planned payments anticipated in the Financial Plan, including tax refunds, without the issuance of deficit bonds or notes or extraordinary cash management actions, (b) the restoration of the balances in the Tax Stabilization Reserve and Rainy Day Reserve (together, the "rainy day reserves") to a level equal to or greater than the level at the start of the fiscal year, and (c) maintenance of other designated balances, as required by law.

Recent Trends. The economic downturn has had a severe impact on State finances. Actual receipts have been slow to recover, while fixed costs for debt service and fringe benefits have risen steadily, and demand for State services has grown. In fiscal year 2009 and fiscal year 2010, the State was required to take extraordinary actions to maintain balanced operations and sufficient liquidity, including enacting mid-year reductions to programs, instituting several rounds of agency spending reductions and deferring payments to local aid recipients and taxpayers. To avoid using its rainy day reserves, which are relied on during the fiscal year to provide liquidity, the State managed the timing of payments across fiscal years, including deferring payments not yet legally due from one fiscal year to the next fiscal year.

The level of General Fund spending in recent years has been affected by the receipt of Federal ARRA funding, which has substantially reduced the costs of Medicaid and School Aid in the General Fund.

FISCAL YEAR 2011

FISCAL YEAR 2011 PRELIMINARY YEAR-END RESULTS The State ended fiscal year 2011 in balance on a cash basis in the General Fund, based on preliminary, unaudited results. The General Fund ended fiscal year 2011 with a closing balance of $1.38 billion, consisting of $1.0 billion in the Tax Stabilization Reserve, $175 million in the Rainy Day Reserve, $136 million in the Community Projects Fund, $21 million in the Contingency Reserve, and $13 million in an undesignated fund balance. The closing balance was $928 million lower than fiscal year 2010. This reflected the planned use of a fund balance to pay for expenses deferred from fiscal year 2010 into fiscal year 2011.

FISCAL YEAR 2010

Receipts during the fiscal year fell substantially below projections. General Fund receipts, including transfers from other funds, totaled $52.6 billion, or $1.78 billion lower than the State's initial projections for fiscal year 2010. General Fund disbursements, including transfers to other funds, totaled $52.2 billion, a decrease of $2.71 billion from initial projections. However, actual disbursements were affected by $2.1 billion in payment deferrals (described below) taken by the State to end the fiscal year without the use of its rainy day reserves and other designated balances. Without the deferrals, disbursements for the fiscal year would have been approximately $665 million below initial projections.

In the final quarter of the fiscal year, in order to avoid depleting its reserves, the State deferred a planned payment to school districts ($2.1 billion), which reduced spending from planned levels, and certain tax refunds, which increased available receipts from planned levels ($500 million). Both the school aid payment and the tax refunds were scheduled to be paid in fiscal year 2010 but, by statute, were not due until June 1, 2010. The combined value of the deferrals had the effect of increasing the closing balance in the General Fund for fiscal year 2010 to $2.3 billion, or approximately $900 million above the level required to restore the rainy day reserves and other balances to their anticipated levels. The higher closing balance was due exclusively to the cash management actions described above and did not represent an improvement in the State's financial operations. In early April 2010, the State paid the $500 million in tax refunds that had been deferred from fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2011. On June 1, 2010, the State paid the $2.1 billion in school aid deferred from fiscal year 2010.

General Fund receipts, including transfers from other funds were $1.2 billion below fiscal year 2009 results. Tax receipts decreased by $1.2 billion and transfers decreased by $750 million, partly offset by increased miscellaneous receipts of $744 million. The $1.2 billion annual decline in tax receipts included a $541 million decline in personal income taxes and a $302 million decline in sales and use tax receipts.

General Fund disbursements, including transfers to other funds, were $2.4 billion below fiscal year 2009 results. The annual decline reflects the deferral of $2.1 billion in school aid, the impact of mid-year spending reductions, and the use of ARRA funds in place of General Fund spending.

The General Fund closing balance consisted of $1.2 billion in the State's rainy day reserves, $21 million in the contingency reserve fund (to guard against litigation risks), $96 million in the Community Projects Fund, and $978 million in the Refund Reserve Account, of which approximately $900 million was attributable to the deferrals described above.

FISCAL YEAR 2009

General Fund receipts, including transfers from other funds and the impact of the tax refund reserve transaction, totaled $53.8 billion in fiscal year 2009, an increase of $705 million from fiscal year 2008 results. While tax receipts decreased by $93 million, miscellaneous receipts increased by $621 million and transfers increased by $178 million. The decline in tax receipts was primarily attributable to a decline in business taxes. General Fund spending, including transfers to other funds, totaled $54.6 billion in fiscal year 2009, an increase of $1.2 billion from fiscal year 2008. The main source of annual growth was School Aid.

Similar to fiscal year 2010, receipts fell substantially below projected levels. General Fund receipts, including transfers from other funds, were $1.84 billion lower than the State's initial projections for fiscal year 2009. Disbursements for the year, including transfers to other funds, finished at $1.75 billion lower than initially expected. This resulted in $83 million less available in cash reserves than was planned when the budget was enacted.

The General Fund ended fiscal year 2009 with a balance of $1.9 billion, which included the dedicated balance of $1.2 billion in the State's rainy day reserves, $21 million in the contingency reserve fund, $145 million in the Community Projects Fund, and $577 million in general reserves, part of which DOB used for payments initially planned for fiscal year 2009 that were delayed until fiscal year 2010. The year-end balance was substantially improved by the receipt of $1.3 billion in unplanned General Fund relief from the temporary increase in the Federal matching rate for Medicaid expenditures under ARRA.

STATE OPERATING FUNDS FISCAL YEAR 2009 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2011

State Operating Funds is comprised of the General Fund, State special revenue funds and debt service funds. The State Operating Funds perspective is primarily intended as a measure of State-financed spending.

RECENT TRENDS

Similar to the General Fund, spending levels in State Operating Funds recent years have also been substantially affected by the State's receipt of Federal ARRA funds. ARRA funding has temporarily reduced the State's share of expenses for Medicaid, education, and other governmental services. This has temporarily lowered State Operating Funds spending in recent fiscal years, and resulted in a corresponding increase in spending from Federal funds (see the discussion of All Funds below).

FISCAL YEAR 2011

State Operating Funds receipts totaled $78.8 billion in fiscal year 2011, an increase of $2.9 billion over the fiscal year 2010 results. Disbursements totaled $84.4 billion in fiscal year 2011, an increase of $3.8 billion from the fiscal year 2010 results. The State ended fiscal year 2011 with a State Operating Funds cash balance of $4.0 billion. In addition to the $1.4 billion General Fund balance described above, the State's special revenue funds had a closing balance of $2.1 billion and the debt service funds had a closing balance of $453 million. The fund balance in the special revenue funds largely reflects the timing of receipts and disbursements (e.g. dedicated monies received for a specified purpose prior to disbursement). A large fund balance is dedicated to finance the operations and activities of SUNY campuses and hospitals ($651 million). The remaining special revenue fund balances are held in numerous funds and accounts that support a variety of programs including industry regulation, public health, and public safety. The fund balance in the debt service funds reflects the preservation of monies needed for debt service payments to bond holders.

FISCAL YEAR 2010

State Operating Funds receipts totaled $75.8 billion in fiscal year 2010, an increase of $611 million over the fiscal year 2009 results. Disbursements totaled $80.7 billion in fiscal year 2010, a decrease of $966 million from the fiscal year fiscal year 2009 results. The State ended fiscal year 2010 with a State Operating Funds cash balance of $4.8 billion. In addition to the $2.3 billion General Fund balance described above, the State's special revenue funds had a closing balance of $2.1 billion and the debt service funds had a closing balance of $411 million. The fund balance in the special revenue funds largely reflects the timing of receipts and disbursements (e.g. dedicated monies received for a specified purpose prior to disbursement). A large fund balance is dedicated to finance the operations and activities of SUNY campuses and hospitals ($774 million). The remaining special revenue fund balances are held in numerous funds and accounts that support a variety of programs including industry regulation, public health, and public safety. The fund balance in the debt service funds reflects the preservation of monies needed for debt service payments to bond holders.

FISCAL YEAR 2009

State Operating Funds receipts totaled $75.2 billion in fiscal year 2009, a decrease of $371 million from the fiscal year 2008 results. Disbursements totaled $81.6 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion from the fiscal year 2008 results. School aid was the largest source of annual program growth.

The State ended fiscal year 2009 with a State Operating Funds cash balance of $4.8 billion. In addition to the $1.9 billion General Fund balance described above, the State's special revenue funds had a closing balance of $2.6 billion and the debt service funds had a closing balance of $298 million. The fund balance in the special revenue funds largely reflects the timing of receipts and disbursements (e.g. dedicated monies received for a specified purpose prior to disbursement). The largest fund balances are dedicated to finance the operations and activities of SUNY campuses and hospitals ($742 million) and ongoing HCRA programs ($240 million). The remaining special revenue fund balances are held in numerous funds and accounts that support a variety of programs including industry regulation, public health, and public safety. The fund balance in the debt service funds reflects the preservation of monies needed for debt service payments to bond holders.

All Funds Fiscal Year 2009 Through Fiscal Year 2011

The All Funds Financial Plan records the operations of the four governmental fund types: the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Funds, and Debt Service Funds. It is the broadest measure of State governmental activity, and includes spending from Federal Funds and Capital Projects Funds.

RECENT TRENDS

The All Funds Financial Plan has grown faster than State Operating Funds in recent years. The growth includes nearly $2.9 billion in ARRA -pass-through? spending, which is Federal stimulus money that is accounted for in the State's fund structure but does not provide a direct fiscal benefit to the State (i.e., resources to help balance the General Fund budget).

FISCAL YEAR 2011

All Funds receipts for fiscal year 2011 totaled $133.3 billion, an increase of $6.7 billion over fiscal year 2010 results. Annual growth in Federal grants and tax receipts was partially offset by a decline in miscellaneous receipts. All Funds disbursements for fiscal year 2011 totaled $134.8 billion, an increase of $7.9 billion over fiscal year 2010 results. The annual change reflects growth due to ARRA -pass-through? and growth in capital spending and debt service, as well as the $2.1 billion school aid deferral from fiscal year 2010.

The State ended the fiscal year 2011 fiscal year with an All Funds cash balance of $3.8 billion. The $4.0 billion State Operating Funds balance described above was partly offset by a negative capital project funds closing balance of roughly $168 million. The negative balance in the capital projects fund results from outstanding intra-year loans from STIP used to finance capital projects costs prior to the receipt of bond proceeds.

FISCAL YEAR 2010

All Funds receipts for fiscal year 2010 totaled $126.7 billion, an increase of $7.5 billion over fiscal year 2009 results. Annual growth in Federal grants and miscellaneous receipts was partially offset by a decline in tax receipts. All Funds disbursements for fiscal year 2010 totaled $126.9 billion, an increase of $5.3 billion over fiscal year 2009 results. The annual change reflects growth due to ARRA -pass-through and growth in School Aid, Medicaid, transportation aid, economic development aid and other State programs.

The State ended the fiscal year 2010 fiscal year with an All Funds cash balance of $4.9 billion. Along with the $4.8 billion State Operating Funds balance described above, Federal operating funds had a closing balance of $456 million, partly offset by a negative capital project funds closing balance of roughly $254 million. The fund balance in the Federal operating funds partly reflects the timing of receipts and disbursements (e.g. dedicated monies received for a specified purpose prior to disbursement). The negative balance in the capital projects fund results from outstanding intra-year loans from STIP used to finance capital projects costs prior to the receipt of bond proceeds.

FISCAL YEAR 2009

All Funds receipts for fiscal year 2009 totaled $119.2 billion, an increase of $3.8 billion over fiscal year 2008 results. Annual growth in Federal grants ($3.9 billion) and miscellaneous receipts ($421 million) was partially offset by a decline in tax receipts ($534 million), largely attributable to business tax declines. All Funds disbursements for fiscal year 2009 totaled $121.6 billion, an increase of $5.5 billion over fiscal year 2008 results. The annual change reflects growth in School Aid, Medicaid, transportation aid, economic development aid and other State programs.

The State ended fiscal year 2009 with an All Funds cash balance of $4.6 billion. Along with the $4.8 billion State Operating Funds balance described above, Federal operating funds had a closing balance of $376 million, offset by a negative capital project funds closing balance of $507 million. The fund balance in the Federal operating funds partly reflects the timing of receipts and disbursements (e.g. dedicated monies received for a specified purpose prior to disbursement). The negative balance in the capital projects fund results from outstanding intra-year loans from STIP used to finance capital projects costs prior to the receipt of bond proceeds.

STATE DEBT AND OTHER FINANCINGS New York State is one of the largest issuers of municipal debt, ranking second among the states, behind California, in the amount of debt outstanding. The State ranks fifth in the U.S. in debt per capita, behind Connecticut, Massachusetts, Hawaii, and New Jersey. As of March 31, 2011, total State-related debt outstanding remained stable at $56 billion and 5.9 percent of personal income. The State's debt burden is measured using two categories: State-supported debt and State-related debt.

State-supported debt represents obligations of the State that are paid from traditional State resources (i.e., tax revenue) and have a budgetary impact. It includes general obligation debt, to which the full faith and credit of the State has been pledged, and lease purchase and contractual obligations of public authorities and municipalities, where the State's legal obligation to make payments to those public authorities and municipalities is subject to and paid from annual appropriations made by the Legislature. These include the State PIT Revenue Bond program and the New York Local Government Assistance Corporation (LGAC) bonds. Since 2002, the State has financed most of its capital program with PIT Revenue Bonds, a revenue bond program that has reduced its cost of borrowing and created efficiencies by permitting the consolidation of bond sales. Prior to 2002, the State had financed its capital spending with lower-rated lease purchase and contractual service obligations of public authorities.

State-related debt is a broader measure of State debt which includes all debt that is reported in the State's GAAP-basis financial statements, except for unamortized premiums and accumulated accretion on capital appreciation bonds. These financial statements are audited by external independent auditors and published by OSC on an annual basis. The debt reported in the GAAP-basis financial statements includes general obligation voter approved debt, other State-supported debt as defined in the State Finance Law, debt issued by the Tobacco Securitization Finance Corporation, certain debt of the Municipal Bond Bank Agency (MBBA) issued to finance prior year school aid claims and capital leases and mortgage loan commitments. In addition, State-related debt reported by DOB includes State-guaranteed debt, moral obligation financings and certain contingent-contractual obligation financings, where debt service is paid from non-State sources in the first instance, but State appropriations are available, to make payments if necessary. These numbers are not included in the State's GAAP-basis financial statements.

The State's debt does not encompass, and does not include, debt that is issued by, or on behalf of, local governments and secured (in whole or in part) by State local assistance aid payments. For example, certain State aid to public schools paid to school districts or New York City has been pledged by those local entities to help finance debt service for locally-sponsored and locally-determined financings. This debt, however, is not treated by DOB as either State-supported debt or State-related debt because it (i) is not issued by the State (nor on behalf of the State), and (ii) does not result in a State obligation to pay debt service. Instead, this debt is accounted for in the respective financial statements of the local governments or other entity responsible for the issuance of such debt and is similarly treated.

The issuance of general obligation debt and debt of LGAC is undertaken by OSC. All other State-supported and State-related debt is issued by the State's financing authorities (known as -Authorized Issuers? in connection with the issuance of PIT Bonds) under the direction of DOB. The Authorized Issuers include NYSTA, DASNY, ESDC, the Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC), and the Housing Finance Agency (HFA). Prior to any issuance of State-supported debt and State-related debt, approval is required by the State Legislature, DOB, the issuer's board, and in certain instances, the Public Authorities Control Board (PACB), and OSC.

The State has never defaulted on any of its general obligation indebtedness or its obligations under lease purchase or contractual obligation financing arrangements and has never been called upon to make any direct payments pursuant to its guarantees.

STATE-SUPPORTED DEBT OUTSTANDING State-supported debt represents obligations of the State that are paid from traditional State resources and have a budgetary impact. It includes general obligation debt, State PIT Revenue Bonds, LGAC bonds and lease purchase and service contract obligations of public authorities and municipalities. Payment of all obligations, except for general obligation debt, is subject to annual appropriations by the State Legislature, but the State's credits have different security features.

GENERAL OBLIGATION FINANCINGS

With limited exceptions for emergencies, the State Constitution prohibits the State from undertaking a long-term general obligation borrowing (i.e., borrowing for more than one year) unless it is authorized in a specific amount for a single work or purpose by the Legislature and approved by the voters. There is no constitutional limitation on the amount of long-term general obligation debt that may be so authorized and subsequently incurred by the State. However, the Debt Reform Act of 2000 ("Debt Reform Act?") imposed statutory limitations on new State-supported debt issued on and after April 1, 2000. The State Constitution provides that general obligation bonds, which can be paid without an appropriation, must be paid in equal annual principal installments or installments that result in substantially level or declining debt service payments, mature within 40 years after issuance, and begin to amortize not more than one year after the issuance of such bonds. However, general obligation housing bonds must be paid within 50 years after issuance, with principal commencing no more than three years after issuance. The Debt Reform Act limits the maximum term of State-supported bonds, including general obligation bonds, to 30 years, and the State currently has no bonds outstanding with a remaining final maturity that is more than 30 years.

General obligation debt is currently authorized for transportation, environment and housing purposes. Transportation-related bonds are issued for State and local highway and bridge improvements, aviation, mass transportation, rail, canal, port and waterway programs and projects. Environmental bonds are issued to fund environmentally sensitive land acquisitions, air and water quality improvements; municipal non-hazardous waste landfill closures and hazardous waste site cleanup projects.

Most general obligation debt-financed spending in the Capital Plan is authorized under eight previously approved bond acts (three for transportation and five for environmental and recreational programs). The majority of projected general obligation bond-financed spending supports authorizations for the 2005 Rebuild and Renew New York Bond Act. DOB projects that spending authorizations from the remaining bond acts will be virtually depleted by 2013.

The State Constitution permits the State to undertake short-term general obligation borrowings without voter approval in anticipation of the receipt of (i) taxes and revenues, by issuing general obligation tax and revenue anticipation notes (TRANs), and (ii) proceeds from the sale of duly authorized but unissued general obligation bonds, by issuing bond anticipation notes (BANs). General obligation TRANs must mature within one year from their date of issuance and cannot be refunded or refinanced beyond such period. However, since 1990, the State's ability to issue general obligation TRANs that mature in the same State fiscal year in which they were issued has been limited due to the enactment of the fiscal reform program which created LGAC. BANs may only be issued for the purposes and within the amounts for which bonds may be issued pursuant to voter authorizations, and must be paid from the proceeds of the sale of bonds in anticipation of which they were issued or from other sources within two years of the date of issuance or, in the case of BANs for housing purposes, within five years of the date of issuance. In order to provide flexibility within these maximum term limits, the State had previously used the BANs authorization to conduct a commercial paper program to fund disbursements eligible for general obligation bond financing.

STATE PIT REVENUE BOND PROGRAM

Since 2002, the PIT Revenue Bond Program has been the primary financing vehicle used to fund the State's capital program, replacing lower rated service contract bonds. Legislation enacted in 2001 provided for the issuance of State PIT Revenue Bonds by the State's Authorized Issuers. The legislation requires 25 percent of State PIT receipts (excluding refunds owed to taxpayers) to be deposited into the Revenue Bond Tax Fund (RBTF) for purposes of making debt service payments on these bonds, with the excess amounts returned to the General Fund. The first State PIT Revenue Bonds were issued on May 9, 2002, and since that time, all of the Authorized Issuers have issued State PIT Revenue Bonds.

Legislation enacted in 2007 increased the amount of PIT receipts to be deposited into the RBTF by removing an exclusion for PIT amounts deposited to the STAR Fund. In the event that (a) the State Legislature fails to appropriate amounts required to make all debt service payments on the State PIT Revenue Bonds or (b) having been appropriated and set aside pursuant to a certificate of the Director of the Budget, financing agreement payments have not been made when due on the State PIT Revenue Bonds, the legislation requires that PIT receipts continue to be deposited to the RBTF until amounts on deposit in the Fund equal the greater of (i) 25 percent of annual PIT receipts or (ii) $6 billion. Debt service on State PIT Revenue Bonds is subject to legislative appropriation, as part of the annual debt service bill.

As of March 31, 2011, approximately $21 billion of State PIT Revenue Bonds were outstanding. State PIT Revenue Bonds have been issued to support programs related to six general purposes: Education, Economic Development and Housing, Environment, State Facilities and Equipment, Transportation and Healthcare. Legislation enacted in fiscal year 2010 and extended through fiscal year 2013 permits DASNY and ESDC to issue State PIT Revenue Bonds for any authorized purpose. Prior to this time, State law required that State PIT Revenue Bonds sold for capital purposes had to be sold through specific issuers, creating coordination difficulties in scheduling sales and reimbursing capital disbursements on a timely basis. Pursuant to this State law, State PIT Revenue Bonds began to be issued by DASNY and ESDC under new General Purpose resolutions that permitted the issuance of bonds on a consolidated basis for all purposes. The State expects to continue to use the General Purpose resolutions for future issuances of State PIT Revenue Bonds for all purposes, except for Transportation.

In addition, legislation that temporarily authorizes the use of State PIT Revenue Bonds to finance the State's Mental Health Facilities Improvement Revenue Bond Program has been extended through fiscal year 2013. This has enabled the State to take advantage of the lower interest rates typically paid on State PIT Revenue Bonds as compared to the State's Mental Health Facilities Improvement Revenue Bonds.

FISCAL YEAR 2012 PIT REVENUE BOND BORROWING PLAN

State PIT Revenue Bonds that are expected to be issued in fiscal year 2012 to support multiple capital program areas include:

Education ($1.5 billion): supports SUNY and CUNY, the Expanding our Children's Education and Learning (EXCEL) program, New York State Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR) and the Higher Education Capital Matching Grant Program.

Economic Development and Housing ($821 million): supports Housing, the Strategic Investment Program (SIP), economic development projects for the Buffalo area, the Community Enhancement Facilities Assistance Program (CEFAP), the Regional Economic Growth Program, the New York State Economic Development Program, high technology and other business investment programs, and recent economic development initiatives.

State Facilities and Equipment ($462 million): supports correctional facilities, youth facilities, State office buildings, a new State Police headquarters, capital projects for the Division of Military and Naval Affairs (DMNA) and equipment for State agencies; including software development.

Transportation ($381 million): supports local transportation projects under the Consolidated Highway Improvement Program (CHIPs).

Healthcare ($321 million): supports the program for capital and equipment grants to healthcare providers.

Environment ($352 million): supports the State Revolving Fund, the State Superfund Program, Environmental Protection Fund (EPF), State Parks and other environmental projects.

NEW YORK LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE CORPORATION

In 1990, as part of a State fiscal reform program, legislation was enacted creating LGAC, a public benefit corporation empowered to issue long-term obligations to fund certain payments to local governments that had been traditionally funded through the State's annual seasonal borrowing. The legislation also dedicated revenues equal to one cent of the State's four cent sales and use tax to pay debt service on these bonds. As of June 1995, LGAC had issued State-supported bonds and notes to provide net proceeds of $4.7 billion, completing the program. The issuance of these long-term obligations will be amortized over a period of no more than 30 years from the dates of their original issuance.

The legislation eliminated the annual issuance of general obligation TRANs that mature in the same State fiscal year that they are issued ("seasonal borrowing") except in cases where the Governor and the legislative leaders have certified the need for additional seasonal borrowing, based on emergency or extraordinary factors, or factors unanticipated at the time of adoption of the budget, and provide a schedule for eliminating it over time. Any seasonal borrowing is required by law to be eliminated by the fourth fiscal year after the limit was first exceeded (i.e., no general obligation seasonal borrowing in the fifth year). The provision limiting the State's seasonal borrowing practices was included as a covenant with LGAC's bondholders in the General Bond Resolution and General Subordinate Lien Bond Resolution authorizing such bonds. No restrictions were placed upon the State's ability to issue deficit TRANs (issued in one year and maturing in the following year). The LGAC changes, as well as other changes in revenue and spending patterns, have allowed the State to meet its cash flow needs throughout the fiscal year without relying on seasonal borrowings. However, the State has taken extraordinary measures in recent years to manage its cash flow, including payment deferrals and permitting the State to borrow from other funds of the State (i.e., non-General Fund) for a limited period.

Legislation enacted in 2003 requires LGAC to certify, in addition to its own cash needs, $170 million annually to provide an incentive for the State to seek an annual appropriation to provide local assistance payments to New York City or its assignee. In May 2004, LGAC amended its General Bond Resolution and General Subordinate Lien Bond Resolution to make clear that any failure to certify or make payments to the City or its assignee has no impact on LGAC's own bondholders; and that if any such act or omission were to occur with respect to any bonds issued by The City of New York or its assignee, that act or omission would not constitute an event of default with respect to LGAC bonds. The FY 2012 Enacted Budget includes a local assistance appropriation of $170 million from the Local Government Assistance Tax Fund to the City.

STATE-SUPPORTED LEASE-PURCHASE AND OTHER CONTRACTUAL-OBLIGATION FINANCINGS

Prior to the 2002 commencement of State PIT Revenue Bond program, public authorities or municipalities issued other lease-purchase and contractual-obligation debt. This type of debt, where debt service is payable from monies received from the State and is subject to annual State appropriation, are not general obligations of the State.

Under this financing structure bonds were issued to finance various capital programs, including those which finance certain of the State's highway and bridge projects, SUNY and CUNY educational facilities, health and mental hygiene facilities, prison construction and rehabilitation, economic development projects, State buildings and housing programs, and equipment acquisitions.

Debt service payable to certain public authorities from State appropriations for such lease-purchase and contractual obligation financings may be paid from general resources of the State or from dedicated tax and other sources (i.e., personal income taxes, motor vehicle and motor fuel related-taxes, dormitory facility rentals, and patient income). Although these financing arrangements involve a contractual agreement by the State to make payments to a public authority, municipality or other entity, the State's obligation to make such payments is expressly made subject to appropriation by the Legislature and the actual availability of money to the State for making the payments.

Legislation enacted in fiscal year 2011, authorizes the State to set aside monies in reserve for debt service on general obligation, lease-purchase, and service contract bonds. Pursuant to a certificate filed by the Director of the Budget with the State Comptroller, the Comptroller is required to transfer from the General Fund such reserved amounts on a quarterly basis in advance of required debt service payment dates.

OTHER NEW YORK STATE REVENUE BOND PROGRAMS

DEDICATED HIGHWAY AND BRIDGE TRUST FUND BONDS
DHBTF bonds are issued by NYSTA for State transportation purposes and are backed by dedicated motor fuel, gas and other transportation related taxes and fees. DHBTF Bond issuances are expected to total approximately $1 billion in fiscal year 2012. This includes approximately $450 million in issuances originally planned for fiscal year 2011.

SUNY DORMITORY FACILITIES BONDS
SUNY Dormitory Facilities Bonds, which are issued by DASNY, are supported by dormitory fees and rents charged to students residing in housing facilities on campus. The bond issuances of $236 million in fiscal year 2012 will support the expansion and renovation of SUNY dormitory facilities.

MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT BONDS
Mental Health Facilities Improvement bonds are issued by DASNY and supported by patient revenues. The issuances of $417 million in fiscal year 2012 will support capital projects to preserve and maintain both State and community-based facilities operated and/or licensed by OMH, OPWDD, and OASAS. Under legislation authorized with the Enacted Budget, these programs' needs may and are expected to be financed with PIT bonds in fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2013.

A major source of patient revenues for these bonds are Federal Medicaid payments for services delivered by OPWDD. These payments are projected to account for roughly 39 percent of revenues dedicated to pay debt service on these bonds. Debt service coverage ratios for future years are currently projected at approximately 10 times for existing Mental Health Facilities Improvements Revenue Bonds. As noted previously, the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have engaged the State regarding claims for services provided to individuals in developmental centers operated by OPWDD. Although no official audit has commenced and the rates paid for these services are established in full accordance with the methodology set forth in the approved State Plan, an adverse action by CMS relative to these claims could jeopardize a significant amount of Federal financial participation in the State Medicaid program. The State has begun the process of seeking CMS approval to proceed with the development of a new 1115 demonstration waiver to create a contemporary and sustainable system of service funding and delivery for individuals with developmental disabilities.

STATE-RELATED DEBT OUTSTANDING

State-related debt is a broader measure of debt that includes State-supported debt, as discussed above, and contingent-contractual obligations, moral obligations, State-guaranteed debt and other debt. As of March 31, 2011, the State has never been required to make an unanticipated debt service payment on contingent contractual, moral obligation, or State-guaranteed obligations.

CONTINGENT-CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION FINANCING

Contingent-contractual debt, included in State-related debt, is debt where the State enters into a statutorily authorized contingent-contractual obligation via a service contract to pay debt service in the event there are shortfalls in revenues from other non-State resources pledged or otherwise available, to pay the debt service. As with State-supported debt, except for general obligation, all payments are subject to annual appropriation. The State has never been required to make any payments under this financing arrangement, but the bankruptcy of certain hospitals in the secured hospitals program (described below) may require the State to make payments in the future.

SECURED HOSPITAL PROGRAM

Pursuant to legislation enacted in 1985, the State entered into service contracts establishing a contingent-contractual obligation with respect to financings related to the Secured Hospital Program for the purpose of enabling certain financially distressed not-for-profit hospitals to gain access to the capital markets. The State service contracts obligate the State to pay debt service, subject to annual appropriations, on bonds issued by the New York State Medical Care Facilities Finance Agency (MCFFA) and by DASNY (all now included as debt of DASNY), in the event there are shortfalls of revenues from other sources, which include hospital payments made under loan agreements between DASNY and the hospitals, and certain reserve funds held by the applicable trustees for the bonds.

As of March 31, 2011, the financial condition of most hospitals in the State's Secured Hospital Program continues to deteriorate. Assuming recent trends continue, State resources will be needed to meet debt service obligations on outstanding bonds. As of March 31, 2011, there are $585 million of outstanding bonds in the program with annual debt service requirements of $79 million. Of the nine hospitals in the program, several are experiencing significant operating losses that are likely to impair their ability to remain current on their loan agreements with DASNY. As of March 31, 2011, three are delinquent on their payment obligations. Of those, one hospital (North General Hospital) filed for bankruptcy in July 2010 (and closed later that month) and the hospital will not be making any further payments on the $111 million of outstanding bonds. Since the hospital's closing, payments of debt service on the outstanding bonds have been made from other available funds that were not pledged to bondholders. These funds were held by DASNY, pursuant to the terms of a Tri-Party Agreement among DASNY, DOH and DOB. As of March 31, 2011, the balance of these resources was $23.8 million, and since DASNY anticipates that as much as $29.0 million of resources may be needed to cover shortfalls in FY 2012, the remaining funds for the three hospitals that are delinquent on their payment obligations will likely be fully depleted.

After the unpledged resources are exhausted, Special Debt Service Reserve Funds and Capital Reserve/Debt Service Reserve Funds remain for each hospital that are pledged to bondholders and held by bond trustees. The Special Debt Service Reserve Funds are funded at one half-year debt service for each series of bonds. The Capital Reserve/Debt Service Reserve Funds are funded at the lesser of one full year of the maximum annual debt service or ten percent of the amount of bonds issued as necessary to comply with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Service Code, for each series of bonds. If used, there is no requirement to maintain (or replenish) the Special Debt Service Reserve Fund. For the Capital Reserve/Debt Service Reserve Fund, each hospital is required under its loan agreement and the applicable bond resolution to restore any deficiencies. The State is not required to do so. If the hospitals are unable to replenish the Capital Reserve/Debt Service Reserve Fund, however, once the Fund is fully depleted, the State is obligated to make debt service payments under a service contract arrangement. The State has enacted contingent contractual appropriations to meet this obligation. The annual debt service payments for the five most vulnerable hospitals are approximately $53 million annually for the next five years.

Tobacco Settlement Financing Corporation

Legislation enacted in 2003 authorized the State to securitize all of its tobacco settlement payments through the TSFC, a corporation created under the legislation that is a subsidiary of the MBBA, through an asset-backed securitization transaction. To lower costs, the legislation authorized the State to enter into contingency contracts obligating the State to pay debt service, subject to annual appropriations, on the TSFC bonds in the event that tobacco receipts and bond reserves are insufficient. To reduce the chance that the State's contractual payments will be required in the event that tobacco receipts and bond reserves are not sufficient to pay debt service, the TSFC bonds were structured to meet or exceed all rating agency tobacco bond stress tests. The $4.2 billion of upfront payments received by the State from the securitization were used to help restore State budget balance in fiscal year 2004 ($3.8 billion) and fiscal year 2005 ($400 million). As of March 31, 2011, approximately $3.0 billion of TSFC bonds were outstanding.

The bonds carry a final nominal maturity of 19 years and have an expected final maturity of 13 years, based on optional redemptions (i.e., an expected final maturity in calendar year 2018). The expected final maturity may deviate due to the optional nature of the redemptions and adjustments to tobacco settlement payments due from participating manufacturers. Various manufacturers, including the original participating manufacturers, have, or indicate that they plan to, make reduced payments to states and territories, or deposit payments into a special disputed payments account awaiting determination of entitlement to adjustments.

Moral Obligation Financings

Moral obligation financing generally involves the issuance of debt by a public authority to finance a revenue producing project or other activity. The debt is secured, in the first instance, by project revenues, but includes statutory provisions requiring the State, subject to appropriation by the Legislature, to make up any deficiencies which may occur in the issuer's debt service reserve fund. There has never been a payment default on any moral obligation debt of any public authority. DOB does not expect the State to increase statutory authorizations for moral obligation bond programs. From 1976 through 1987, the State was called upon to appropriate and make payments totaling $162.8 million to make up deficiencies in the debt service reserve funds of HFA pursuant to moral obligation provisions. In the same period, the State also expended additional funds to assist the Project Finance Agency, Urban Development Corporation (UDC) and other public authorities which had moral obligation debt outstanding. The State has not been called upon to make any payments pursuant to any moral obligations since fiscal year 1987 and no such requirements are anticipated during fiscal year 2012.

State-Guaranteed Financings

Pursuant to specific constitutional authorization, the State may also directly guarantee certain public authority obligations. Payments of debt service on State-guaranteed bonds and notes are legally enforceable obligations of the State. The only current authorization provides for the State guarantee of the repayment of certain borrowings for designated projects of the New York State Job Development Authority (JDA). The State has never been called upon to make any direct payments pursuant to any such guarantees. Due to concerns regarding the economic viability of its programs, JDA's loan and loan guarantee activities were suspended in 1995. JDA resumed its lending activities in 1997 under a revised set of lending programs and underwriting guidelines. In April 2004, JDA issued approximately $42 million of State-guaranteed bonds to refinance certain of its outstanding bonds and notes in order to restructure and improve JDA's capital finances. As of March 31, 2011, JDA had approximately $23 million of bonds outstanding. DOB does not anticipate that the State will be called upon to make any payments pursuant to the State guarantee in fiscal year 2012.

Other State Financings

Other State financings relate to the issuance of debt by a public authority on behalf of a municipality which receives proceeds of the sale. These include Capital Leases, Mortgage Loan Commitments and MBBA prior year school aid claims. To ensure that debt service payments are made, the municipality assigns specified State and local assistance payments it receives to the issuer or the bond trustee. The State has no legal obligation to make any debt service payments or to continue to appropriate local assistance payments that are subject to the assignment.

Litigation

The legal proceedings listed below involve State finances and programs and miscellaneous civil rights, real property, contract and other tort claims in which the State is a defendant and the potential monetary claims against the State are deemed to be material, generally in excess of $100 million or involving significant challenges to or impacts on the State's financial policies or practices. As explained below, these proceedings could adversely affect the State's finances in FY 2012 or thereafter. The State intends to describe newly initiated proceedings which the State deems to be material and existing proceedings which the State subsequently deems to be material, as well as any material and adverse developments in the listed proceedings, in quarterly updates and/or supplements to this AIS.

For the purpose of this Litigation and Arbitration section of the AIS, the State defines -material and adverse developments as rulings or decisions on or directly affecting the merits of a proceeding that have a significant adverse impact upon the State's ultimate legal position, and reversals of rulings or decisions on or directly affecting the merits of a proceeding in a significant manner, whether in favor of or adverse to the State's ultimate legal position. The State intends to discontinue disclosure with respect to any individual case after a final determination on the merits or upon a determination by the State that the case does not meet the materiality threshold described above.

The State is party to other claims and litigation, which either its legal counsel has advised that it is not probable that the State will suffer adverse court decisions or the State has determined do not, considered on a case by case basis, meet the materiality threshold described in the first paragraph of this section. Although the amounts of potential losses, if any, resulting from this litigation are not presently determinable, it is the State's opinion that its ultimate liability in any of these cases is not expected to have a material and adverse effect on the State's financial position in fiscal year 2012 or thereafter. The Basic Financial Statements for fiscal year 2011, which OSC is expected to issue in July 2011, will report possible and probable awarded and anticipated unfavorable judgments against the State.

Adverse developments in the proceedings described below, other proceedings for which there are unanticipated, unfavorable and material judgments, or the initiation of new proceedings could affect the ability of the State to maintain a balanced fiscal year 2012 Financial Plan. The State believes that the fiscal year 2012 Enacted Budget Financial Plan includes sufficient reserves to offset the costs associated with the payment of judgments that may be required during fiscal year 2012. These reserves include (but are not limited to) amounts appropriated for Court of Claims payments and projected fund balances in the General Fund. In addition, any amounts ultimately required to be paid by the State may be subject to settlement or may be paid over a multi-year period. There can be no assurance, however, that adverse decisions in legal proceedings against the State would not exceed the amount of all potential fiscal year 2012 Enacted Budget Financial Plan resources available for the payment of judgments, and could therefore adversely affect the ability of the State to maintain a balanced fiscal year 2012 Enacted Budget Financial Plan.

Update to Annual Information Statement (AIS) State of New York (November 22, 2011)

Weak and unsettled economic conditions around the world -- illustrated by the Euro-zone financial crisis, volatility in the financial markets, and persistently disappointing data on employment, consumer confidence, and income -- have darkened the State's fiscal outlook. The significant positive receipts results early in the fiscal year have been largely eroded as the economy weakened in the summer months. With the prospect of a weak bonus season on Wall Street, even more negative pressure is being placed on the State's receipts outlook.

Based on comprehensive review of these factors, as well as actual operating results, updated program data, and other factors, DOB estimates that the General Fund has a budget shortfall of $350 million in the current fiscal year. To eliminate the anticipated shortfall, DOB is instituting a fiscal management plan. If it appears that the savings from the management plan will be insufficient to eliminate the shortfall, the Governor is expected to call the Legislature into session to consider additional actions to achieve a balanced budget in the current fiscal year. The same adverse economic factors have also increased the size of the projected budget gap that must be closed in fiscal year 2013. DOB now estimates that the gap for fiscal year 2013 is in the range of $3.0 billion to $3.5 billion2. See -Financial Plan Projections fiscal years 2012 through 2015 - in the AIS Update for a complete discussion of the State's Financial Plan projections. The Governor is required by law to propose an Executive Budget for each fiscal year that is balanced on a cash basis of accounting. General Fund receipts, including transfers from other funds, are estimated to total $56.87 billion in fiscal year 2012. General Fund spending, including transfers to other funds, is estimated to total $56.86 billion in fiscal year 2012. After $361 million in planned deposits to reserve funds at the end of fiscal year 2012, the State's General Fund faces a current year funding shortfall of $350 million that DOB expects will be closed through administrative or legislative actions or both.

Projected Closing Balances

DOB estimates the State will end fiscal year 2012 with a General Fund balance of $1.7 billion, which consists of $1.0 billion in the Tax Stabilization Reserve, $275 million in the Rainy Day Reserve, $51 million in the Community Projects Fund, $21 million in the Contingency Reserve Fund, and $13 million in an undesignated fund balance. The estimated closing balance of $1.7 billion reflects the assumption that the estimated current year shortfall of $350 million is closed by the fiscal management plan or legislative action, or both. The closing balance in the Rainy Day Reserve reflects a planned deposit of $100 million in fiscal year 2012. If efforts to eliminate the shortfall are unsuccessful, DOB expects that the closing balance in the General Fund would be approximately $1.4 billion (as reflected on the General Fund Financial Plan table that appears later in this AIS Update).

The closing balance also includes $346 million identified to cover the costs of potential retroactive labor settlements with unions that have not agreed to contracts through fiscal year 2011. The amount is calculated based on the pattern settlement for fiscal years 2007 through 2011 agreed to by the State's largest unions for that period. In prior years, this amount has been carried in the annual spending totals. If settlements are reached in fiscal year 2012, the fund balance in the General Fund will decline by an amount equal to the settlements.

The Community Projects Fund, which finances discretionary ("member item") grants allocated by the Legislature and Governor, is expected to disburse $85 million over the course of fiscal year 2012. These disbursements, coupled with the repeal of $85 million in scheduled deposits for fiscal year 2012, are expected to leave a balance of $51 million in the fund at the end of the fiscal year.

Puerto Rico

Relationship between Puerto Rico and the U.S.

The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico's (as used in this section, "Puerto Rico" or the "Commonwealth") constitutional status is that of a territory of the U.S., and, pursuant to the territorial clause of the U.S. Constitution, the ultimate source of power over Puerto Rico is the U.S. Congress.

General Economic Conditions

Although Puerto Rico's economy is diversified across the manufacturing, service, government, agriculture and construction sectors, the dominant sectors of its economy in terms of production and income are manufacturing and services. As a result, economic problems or factors that negatively impact any of these sectors, but especially the manufacturing and services sectors, may have a negative impact on the value of Puerto Rico municipal securities and entities issuing these securities.

The Commonwealth's economy entered into a recession that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, a fiscal year in which the real gross national product grew by only 0.5% and the government of Puerto Rico (as used in this section, "Government") was shut down the first two weeks of May. The recession has been evidenced by, among other things, a contraction in the economy, decreased Commonwealth general fund (as used in this section, "General Fund") revenues and high unemployment.

Certain signs indicate, however, that economic growth in the Commonwealth might be improving. For example, preliminary General Fund net revenues for fiscal year 2011 were higher than in the same period in fiscal year 2010. Also, preliminary General Fund net revenues for the first three months of fiscal year 2012 were higher than in the same period in fiscal year 2011.

Despite these and other signs that the Commonwealth's economy could be improving, because of the current economic environment and the magnitude of the economic recession, the Commonwealth continues to face significant fiscal challenges, including a significant structural imbalance (General Fund total expenditures exceeding revenues).

There can be no assurances that the Commonwealth will not continue to face fiscal stress and that such circumstances will not become more difficult, or that other impacts of the current economic situation will not further materially adversely affect the financial condition of the Commonwealth.

Reform Initiatives

Since 2000, the Commonwealth has experienced an imbalance between recurring Government revenues and total expenditures. The imbalance reached its highest level in fiscal year 2009. In an attempt to address the imbalance, the Government has taken multiple steps, including reforming its taxes and implementing a fiscal stabilization plan, an economic reconstruction plan and an economic development plan.

Tax Reform. In 2010, the Governor of Puerto Rico (as used in this section, "Governor") submitted, and Puerto Rico's Legislature (as used in this section, "Legislature") passed, legislation to implement tax reform. Although elements of the tax reform are designed to provide individual and corporate taxpayers with savings, the Government anticipates that the reduction in income tax revenues resulting from the implementation of the tax reform should be fully offset by the additional revenues produced by (i) enhanced tax compliance measures, (ii) the elimination of certain incentives and tax credits, (iii) a new temporary excise tax imposed on a controlled group member's acquisition from another group member of certain personal property manufactured or produced in Puerto Rico and certain services performed in Puerto Rico (at a declining rate from 4% for 2011 to 1% for 2016) and (iv) an expansion of taxation rules that characterize certain income of non-resident corporations, partnerships and individuals as effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in Puerto Rico and therefore subject to Puerto Rico income tax.

There can be no assurance that the revenues resulting from the implementation of the tax reform, together with the other revenue enhancement measures included in the tax reform, will be sufficient to make the reform revenue positive.

Fiscal Stabilization Plan. In January 2009, the Commonwealth's administration, which controls the Executive and Legislative branches of government, began to implement a multi-year plan designed to achieve fiscal balance, restore sustainable economic growth and safeguard the investment-grade ratings of the Puerto Rico. The fiscal stabilization plan, which was generally contained in Act No. 7, sought to achieve budgetary balance on or before fiscal year 2013, while addressing expected fiscal deficits in the intervening years through the implementation of a number of initiatives, including: (i) a gradual operating expense-reduction plan through reduction of operating expenses, including payroll, which is the main component of government expenditures, and the reorganization of the Executive Branch;( ii) a combination of temporary and permanent revenue raising measures, coupled with additional tax enforcement measures; and (iii) a bond issuance program through the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation ("COFINA" by its Spanish-language acronym). The proceeds from the COFINA bond issuance program, which are held by the Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico ("GDB") in an account ("Stabilization Fund"), have been used to repay existing government debt (including debts with GDB), finance operating expenses for fiscal years 2008 through 2011 (and may be used for fiscal year 2012, to the extent included in the government's annual budget for such fiscal year), including costs related to the implementation of a workforce reduction plan, and fund an economic stimulus plan.

Economic Reconstruction Plan. In fiscal year 2009, the Commonwealth's administration began to implement a short-term economic reconstruction plan. The cornerstone of this plan was the implementation of U.S. federal and local economic stimulus programs. The Commonwealth was awarded approximately $6.8 billion in stimulus funds under the ARRA program. Approximately $3.3 billion of the ARRA funds is allocated for consumer and taxpayer relief and the remainder will be used to expand unemployment and other social welfare benefits, and spending in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, among others. As of March 31, 2011, the Commonwealth had disbursed $4.3 billion in ARRA funds, or 63% of awarded funds.
The Commonwealth's administration has complemented the U.S. federal stimulus package with additional short and medium-term supplemental stimulus measures that seek to address local economic challenges and provide investment in strategic areas. These measures included a local $500 million economic stimulus plan.

Economic Development Plan. The Commonwealth's administration has also developed the "Strategic Model for a New Economy," which is a comprehensive long-term economic development plan aimed at improving Puerto Rico's overall competitiveness and business environment and increasing private-sector participation in Puerto Rico's economy. As part of this plan, the Commonwealth's administration enacted Act No. 161 on December 1, 2009, which overhauled the permitting and licensing process in Puerto Rico in order to provide for a leaner and more efficient process that fosters economic development. The Commonwealth's administration enacted Acts No. 82 and 83 of July 19, 2010, which provide for a new energy policy that seeks to lower energy costs and reduce energy-price volatility by reducing Puerto Rico's dependence on fuel oil and the promotion of diverse, renewable-energy technologies. Moreover, the Commonwealth's administration proposed the adoption of a comprehensive tax reform that takes into account the Commonwealth's current financial situation.

In addition, to further stimulate economic development and cope with the fiscal crisis, the Commonwealth's Legislative Assembly approved Act No. 29 on June 8, 2009, establishing a public policy and legal framework for the establishment of public-private partnerships to finance and develop infrastructure projects and operate and manage certain public assets. During fiscal year 2010, the administration engaged various financial advisors to assist it in the evaluation and procurement of various projects in the energy, transportation, water and public school infrastructure sectors. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, the administration published desirability studies for four public-private partnership priority projects and commenced procurement for such projects.

The Commonwealth's administration has also identified strategic initiatives to promote economic growth in various sectors of the economy where Puerto Rico is believed to have competitive advantages and several strategic/regional projects aimed at fostering balanced economic development throughout the Commonwealth. These projects, some of which are ongoing, include tourism and urban redevelopment projects.

Fiscal Year 2012 Budget and Budget Risks

On July 1, 2011, the Governor signed the Commonwealth's central-government budget for fiscal year 2012. The adopted budget provides for total General Fund revenues of approximately $9.3 billion, $610 million of which consists of proceeds from COFINA bond issues.

The principal changes in General Fund revenues under the fiscal year 2012 budget compared to the fiscal year 2011 budget are accounted for mainly by the projected collections from the temporary excise tax under Act No. 154 (up $969 million), sales and use taxes (up $125 million), retained non-resident income taxes (up $29 million), alcoholic beverage taxes (up $9 million), and projected decreases in excise taxes on motor vehicles and accessories (down $8 million), corporate income tax (down $51 million), federal excise taxes on offshore shipments (down $66 million), property taxes (down $162 million) and personal income taxes (down $239 million).

The fiscal year 2012 budget provides for total expenditures of approximately $9.3 billion, $610 million of which are expected to be covered by proceeds from COFINA bond issues. The fiscal year 2012 budgeted expenditures exclude certain debt service payments on the Commonwealth's general obligation bonds and Commonwealth guaranteed Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority ("PBA") bonds which are expected to be refinanced during fiscal year 2012. The budgeted total expenditures for fiscal year 2012 are $126 million, or 1.4%, higher than budgeted total expenditures of approximately $9.1 billion for fiscal year 2011, and approximately $1.1 billion, or 10.7%, lower than total expenditures of approximately $10.4 billion for fiscal year 2010.

Budgeted expenditures and capital improvements for the central government of all budgetary funds total approximately $15.9 billion, a decrease of $142.9 million from fiscal year 2011 budgeted appropriations. The principal changes in General Fund expenditures by program in the fiscal year 2012 budget compared to the fiscal year 2011 budget are mainly due to increases in public safety and protection (up $80.1 million), education (up $131.4 million), economic development (up $106.4 million), transportation (up $10.2 million), special pension contributions (up $85.8 million), contribution to municipalities (up $28.5 million), and decreases in general obligation bonds debt service (down $21.5 million), welfare (down $22.0 million), health care (down $209.2 million) and governmental management (down $51.2 million).

Budget Risks. Many complex political, social, and economic factors influence the Commonwealth's economy and finances. Such factors may affect the Commonwealth's budget unpredictably from year to year. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) developments with respect to the national economy as a whole; (ii) developments with respect to the manufacturing and service sectors of the economy; (iii) developments in the world economy, and in particular commodity prices such as oil; (iv) U.S. fiscal and economic policies, including fiscal stimulus efforts in general and the amount of federal aid to the Commonwealth; (v) the impact of the tax reform, and the Commonwealth's fiscal stabilization plan, economic reconstruction plan and economic development plan; (vi) the impact of the funds received or expected to be received pursuant to the ARRA, which was enacted by the U.S. government to stimulate the U.S. economy in the wake of the global economic downturn; and (vii) whether actual budgeted revenues are less than projected revenues and actual expenditures are more than projected expenditures.

These factors are continually changing, and no assurances can be given with respect to how these factors or other factors will materialize in the future or what impact they will have on the Commonwealth's fiscal and economic condition. Such factors could have an adverse impact on the Commonwealth budget in the current year and could result in declines, possibly severe, in the value of the Commonwealth's and municipal issuers' outstanding obligations, increases in their future borrowing costs, and impairment of their ability to pay debt service on their obligations.

Rating

The ratings of the Commonwealth's general obligation bonds as of November11, 2011 are "Baa1" from Moody's, "BBB" from S&P and "BBB+" from Fitch.

Each such rating reflects only the views of the respective rating agency and an explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by such rating agency if in the judgment of such rating agency circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds.

Major Sources of General Fund Expenditures

Major sources of General Fund expenditures include, among other items: (i) grants and subsidies (including contributions to municipalities), (ii) personal and other services (including compensation paid for personal services rendered to the Commonwealth and its public instrumentalities as well as other services such as building and equipment rental and insurance premiums), (iii) capital outlays (including outlays made for land acquisition or interest in land, construction of buildings, road bridges and other structures) and (iv) funding benefits (including pension benefits and non-pension, post-employment benefits for certain individuals). Effects from the recession, the current economic environment, as well as future economic problems and factors could increase General Fund expenditures to these and other sources.

Pension and Non-Pension Unfunded Liability. One of the challenges that the Government faces is how to address the growing unfunded pension benefit obligations and funding shortfalls of the three government retirement systems (the Employees Retirement System, the Teachers Retirement System, and the Judiciary Retirement System) that are funded principally with Government appropriations. The three systems are funded principally by contributions made by employers (the Commonwealth, public corporations, and municipalities) and employees, as well as investment income. The Government is responsible for approximately 64% of total employer contributions to the Employees Retirement System, and the other 36% is the responsibility of public corporations and municipalities. The Government is also responsible for 100% and 99% of total employer contributions to the Judiciary and Teachers Retirement Systems, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, the date of the latest actuarial valuations of the retirement systems, the unfunded actuarial accrued liability (including basic and system administered benefits) for the Employees Retirement System, the Teachers Retirement System, and the Judiciary Retirement System was approximately $17.8 billion, $7.1 billion and $283 million, respectively, and the funded ratios were 8.5%, 23.97% and 16.4%, respectively.

Since the Commonwealth and other participating employers (such as municipalities and participating public corporations) are ultimately responsible for any funding deficiency in the three retirement systems, the depletion of the assets available to cover retirement benefits will require the Commonwealth and other participating employers to cover annual funding deficiencies. It is estimated that the Commonwealth would be responsible for approximately 74% of the combined annual funding deficiency of the three retirement systems, with the balance being the responsibility of the municipalities and participating public corporations.

The Commonwealth also provides non-pension, post-employment benefits in the form of a medical insurance plan contribution. The cost of these benefits, which amounted to $114.2 million for fiscal year 2010, are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis from the General Fund and are valued using actuarial principles similar to those used for calculating pension benefits. Based on the latest actuarial valuations, as of June 30, 2010, the aggregate unfunded actuarial accrued liability for these benefits was $2.3 billion.

Ultimately, since the Commonwealth's General Fund is required to cover a significant amount of the funding deficiencies, the Commonwealth would have difficulty funding the annual required contributions unless it implements significant reforms, obtains additional revenues, or takes other budgetary measures.

In order to address, at least in part, the growing unfunded pension benefit obligations and funding shortfalls of the three Government retirement systems, the Government enacted two bills in 2011. The first bill was enacted as Act No. 96 of June 16, 2011. In accordance with Act No. 96, on June 23, 2011, $162.5 million of funds on deposit in the Corpus Account of the Puerto Rico Infrastructure Fund were contributed to the Employees Retirement System and invested in capital appreciation bonds issued by COFINA. The second bill, enacted as Act No. 116 of July 6, 2011, provides an increase in employer contributions to the Employee Retirement System and the Teachers Retirement System of 1% of covered payroll in each of the next five fiscal years and by 1.25% of covered payroll in each of the following five fiscal years. There is no guarantee that these measures will be sufficient to fix the unfunded liability to the Government's retirement systems.

Major Sources of General Fund Revenues

The major sources of General Fund revenues are derived from personal income taxes and taxes on corporations and partnerships. Other major taxes that provide revenues to the General Fund include an excise tax, a property tax and a license tax. Effects from the tax reform, discussed above, the recession and the current economic environment, as well as future economic problems and factors could negatively impact General Fund revenues received from these and other sources.

Litigation

The Commonwealth and its officers and employees may be parties to numerous legal proceedings, many of which normally occur in government operations. In addition, the Commonwealth is involved in certain other legal proceedings (described in the Commonwealth's recent Official Statements) that, if decided against the Commonwealth, might require the Commonwealth to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome of such litigation, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the Commonwealth to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund's investments.

Guam

Relationship between Guam and the U.S.

The constitutional status of the island of Guam (as used in this section, "Guam" or the "Territory") is that of an unincorporated territory of the U.S., and, pursuant to the territorial clause of the U.S. Constitution, the ultimate source of power over the Territory is the U.S. Congress. The organization and powers of the government of the Territory (as used in this section, "Government") are determined by the terms of the Organic Act.

General Economic Conditions

Although Guam's economy is diversified, tourism has represented the primary source of income for the Territory's economy for over twenty-five years. U.S. federal and military spending also contribute significantly to its economy. Therefore, economic problems or factors that negatively impact tourism in Guam, as well as factors that reduce U.S. federal and military spending in Guam, may have a negative impact on the value of Guam municipal securities and entities issuing these securities.

In regard to tourism, in fiscal year 2010, Guam's top four visitor markets, as measured by visitors to Guam by air, were Japan (75.8%), Korea (10.3%), the U.S. (5.2%) and Taiwan (2.5%). Therefore, Guam's economy is very sensitive to fluctuations in each of these economies, but especially to that of Japan. The March 11, 2011 earthquake that occurred near northeastern Japan and the subsequent tsunami that affected Japan's northern and central east coast are anticipated to have a negative effect on Guam's tourism, although it is too early to predict the ultimate effect of these natural disasters on Guam's economy.

Despite significant revenues from the federal government in recent years through stimulus packages (including approximately $386 million of ARRA funding for programs and infrastructure projects) and military contracts (including over $964 million in fiscal year 2010), there is no guarantee that such stimulus and military spending will not decrease, potentially significantly, in future years.

Because of the current economic environment, the magnitude of the global recession, and a slew of misfortunes that negatively impacted tourism in Guam (including earthquakes, tsunamis, super typhoons, the September 1, 2001 terrorist attacks and the outbreak of diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2003 and the H1N1 virus in 2009), Guam faces significant economic problems. These problems are reflected in Guam's rising unemployment rate (which increased from 6.9% in March 2006 to 13.3% in March) and growing deficit (which, according to the 2010 Guam General Fund (as used in this section, "General Fund") unaudited financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2010, indicate that Guam's deficit rose by $83,583,828, from a level of $265,377,371 in fiscal year 2009 to $348,961,199 in fiscal year 2010, and is projected to increase further to $348,972,664 in fiscal year 2011).

There can be no assurances that Guam will not continue to face fiscal stress and that such circumstances will not become more difficult, or that other impacts of the current economic situation will not further materially adversely affect Guam's financial condition.

Fiscal Year 2012 Budget and Risks

On April 8, 2011, the Governor of Guam (as used in this section, "Governor") submitted his proposed fiscal year 2012 budget to the Territory's Legislature (as used in this section, "Legislature"). The proposed plan included revenue available for appropriations of $561.1 million, tax refunds in the amount of $105.0 million and a General Fund reserve of 2% in the amount of $11.2 set aside for deficit reduction.

On September 20, 2011, the Governor signed the budget for fiscal year 2012 that was previously passed by the Legislature. The adopted fiscal year 2012 budget leaves total General Fund revenue available for appropriation of approximately $562.3 million, a slight increase over the appropriations in the proposed budget. Revenue from taxes accounts for over 90% of total General Fund revenue available for appropriation.

Major expenditures in the 2012 budget include, but are not limited to: (i) appropriations for debt service; (ii) appropriations for health, including for the Department of Public Health and Social Services, the Medically Indigent Program and for Guam's medicaid program; (iii) appropriations for public education, including for the operations of the University of Guam and Guam Community College; and (iv) appropriations for the protection of life and property, including for the base operations of the Fire Department, the Police Department and the Department of Corrections.

Budget Risks. Many complex political, social, and economic factors influence Guam's economy and finances. Such factors may affect Guam's budget unpredictably from year to year. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) developments with respect to the national economy as a whole; (ii) developments with respect to the economies of Japan, Korea, the U.S. and Taiwan that impact tourism; (iii) developments in the world economy, and in particular commodity prices such as oil; (iv) U.S. fiscal and economic policies, including fiscal stimulus efforts in general and the amount of federal aid to Guam; (v) developments with respect to the U.S. military spending in Guam; and (vi) whether actual budgeted revenues are less than projected revenues and actual expenditures are more than projected expenditures.

These factors are continually changing, and no assurances can be given with respect to how these factors or other factors will materialize in the future or what impact they will have on Guam's fiscal and economic condition. Such factors could have an adverse impact on Guam's budget in the current year and could result in declines, possibly severe, in the value of Guam's municipal issuers' outstanding obligations, increases in their future borrowing costs, and impairment of their ability to pay debt service on their obligations.

Rating

The rating of Guam's general obligation debt as of November 11, 2011 is "B+" from S&P.

The rating reflects only the view of the rating agency and an explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by such rating agency if in the judgment of such rating agency circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of the rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds.

Major Sources of General Fund Expenditures

Expenditures of General Fund revenues are made pursuant to appropriation laws. The two largest expenditure categories, public education and protection of life and property, accounted for approximately 41% and 16% of total General Fund expenditures in fiscal year 2010, respectively. The Government also has significant unfunded liabilities relating to the Guam Retirement Fund (as used in this section, the "Retirement Fund"). Effects from the global recession, the current economic environment, as well as future economic problems and factors could increase General Fund expenditures to these and other sources.

Retirement Fund Unfunded Liability. One of the challenges that the Government faces is how to address the growing unfunded pension benefit obligations and funding shortfalls of the Retirement Fund. The Retirement Fund provides retirement annuities and other payments to retired Government employees and their dependents. Although the retirement plan has historically been a defined benefit plan, all new Government employees hired after September 30, 1995 are instead participants in a defined contribution retirement plan. Based on the September 30, 2010 valuation, the Retirement Fund had an unfunded accrued liability of $1.545 billion. Based on the actuarial valuation, the actuarially determined contribution rate for fiscal year 2010 was 30.09% of covered payroll. However, the Government has funded a lower contribution rate of 28.3% for fiscal year 2010 based in part on a law that provides that the Government's employer contribution rate to the Retirement Fund will increase over a five-year period, beginning with fiscal year 2007, until it reaches the actuarial recommended contribution rate. Increased expenditures to the Retirement Fund in upcoming years may exert pressure on the budget.

Major Sources of General Fund Revenues

The two largest General Fund revenue categories are taxes and U.S. federal government contributions, which accounted for approximately 57% and 35% of total General Fund revenues in fiscal year 2010, respectively. Effects from the global recession, the current economic environment, as well as future economic problems and factors could negatively impact General Fund revenues received from these and other sources.

Litigation

Guam and its officers and employees may be parties to legal proceedings, many of which normally occur in government operations. In addition, at any given time, including the present, there are civil actions pending against Guam (described in Guam's recent Official Statement), which could, if determined adversely to Guam, affect Guam's expenditures and, in some cases, its revenues and cash flow. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome of such litigation, estimate the potential impact on the ability of Guam to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on the Fund's investments.

United States Virgin Islands

Relationship between the U.S. Virgin Islands and the U.S.

The constitutional status of the U.S. Virgin Islands (as used in this section, "USVI" or the "Territory") is that of an unincorporated territory of the U.S., and, pursuant to the territorial clause of the U.S. Constitution, the ultimate source of power over the Territory is the U.S. Congress. The organization and powers of the government of the Territory (as used in this section, "Government") are determined by the terms of the Revised Organic Act.

General Economic Conditions

Although the Territory's economy is diversified, tourism remains the economy's primary source of income. Therefore, economic problems or factors that negatively impact tourism in USVI may have a negative impact on the value of USVI municipal securities and entities issuing these securities.

During the recent recession, the Territory experienced a significant economic downturn, evidenced by rising unemployment and declining tax revenues and tourism.

Certain signs indicate, however, that economic growth in the Territory might recently have been improving. For example, total visitor arrivals increased in the first half of fiscal year 2011 compared to the same period for fiscal year 2010. Also, during the first half of fiscal year 2011, tax revenues collections increased compared to the same period for fiscal year 2010.

Despite these and other signs that USVI's economy could be improving, because of the current economic environment and the magnitude of the economic recession, the Territory continues to face significant fiscal problems, including a projected $75.1 million budget deficit in fiscal year 2011 and a $131.5 deficit in fiscal year 2012.

There can be no assurances that USVI will not continue to face fiscal stress and that such circumstances will not become more difficult, or that other impacts of the current economic situation will not further materially adversely affect the Territory's financial condition.

Fiscal Year 2012 Budget and Risks

On June 10, 2011, the Governor of USVI (as used in this section, "Governor") submitted his proposed $1.2 billion fiscal year 2012 budget to the Territory's Legislature (as used in this section, "Legislature") for its review and approval. Of the total budget, $731.3 million would come from the USVI general fund (as used in this section, "General Fund"). The remaining revenues would derive from other sources, including federal funds. The Governor attempted to balance the budget through a combination of measures, including, among others, increasing gross receipts taxes by 1% and implementing nine unpaid holidays for government workers.

After numerous hearings, the USVI Legislature (as used in this section, "Legislature") passed the fiscal year 2012 budget and sent it to the Governor on September 26, 2011. As passed, the Legislature rejected some of the Governor's proposals for balancing the budget, including the 1% increase in the gross receipts tax (which was cut in half) and the nine unpaid holidays. Because he disagreed with some of the changes to his proposed budget, the Governor refused to sign the budget. Under the Revised Organic Act, if the Governor does not take action on a piece of legislation passed by the Legislature within 10 days, it automatically becomes law. As such, the 2012 budget became law on October 7, 2011.

Major expenditures in the 2012 budget include, but are not limited to: (i) appropriations for health and human services, including appropriations for the Department of Health, the Schneider Regional Medical Center, the Governor Juan F. Luis Hospital and Medical Center and the Department of Human Services; (ii) appropriations for public education, including for the Department of Education; and (iii) appropriations for the protection of life and property, including for the Police Department, the VI Fire Department and the Department of Corrections.

Budget Risks. Many complex political, social, and economic factors influence the economy and finances of the USVI. Such factors may affect the Territory's budget unpredictably from year to year. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) developments with respect to the national economy as a whole; (ii) developments that impact tourism; (iii) developments in the world economy, and in particular commodity prices such as oil; (iv) U.S. fiscal and economic policies, including fiscal stimulus efforts in general and the amount of federal aid to the Territory; and (v) whether actual budgeted revenues are less than projected revenues and actual expenditures are more than projected expenditures.

These factors are continually changing, and no assurances can be given with respect to how these factors or other factors will materialize in the future or what impact they will have on the USVI's fiscal and economic condition. Such factors could have an adverse impact on the USVI's budget in the current year and could result in declines, possibly severe, in the value of USVI municipal issuers' outstanding obligations, increases in their future borrowing costs, and impairment of their ability to pay debt service on their obligations.

Rating

The rating of USVI's general obligation debt as of November 11, 2011 is "BAA1" from Moody's.

Major Sources of General Fund Expenditures

Historically, a significant portion of the Government expenditures consist of appropriations for the administration and operation of the Government's institutions and facilities (such as educational facilities and health and hospital facilities) and for the operation of the Government's departments and agencies (such as the Police Department and Fire Department). Expenditures also are required under legally binding contractual agreements that the Government has previously made or existing statutes which have continuing applicability. Contractually required expenditures include amounts for debt service payments. In addition, the Government has significant unfunded liabilities relating to the Government Employees' Retirement System ("GERS") of the USVI. Effects from the global recession, the current economic environment, as well as future economic problems and factors could increase General Fund expenditures to these and other sources.

GERS Unfunded Liability. GERS was statutorily created to administer a defined benefit-pension plan sponsored by the Virgin Islands Government. According to the most recent financial report for GERS, as of September 30, 2009, the plan was 52% funded, with an unfunded actuarial accrued liability of $1.4 billion. Increased expenditures to GERS in upcoming years may exert pressure on the budget.

Major Sources of General Fund Revenues

The principal sources of revenues for the General Fund are personal income taxes and gross receipt taxes. Other tax sources of revenues for the General Fund include real property taxes; federal excise taxes imposed on products of the USVI entering the U.S. and other fees and taxes collected by the U.S. federal government (including stamp taxes, foreign sales corporation franchise taxes, inheritance taxes and corporate franchise taxes). Non-tax sources of revenues for the General Fund include, among other things, licenses, fees, permits, fines, franchise fees, and custom dues, as well as inter-fund transfers. Effects from the global recession, the current economic environment, as well as future economic problems and factors could negatively impact General Fund revenues received from these and other sources.

Litigation

The Territory and its officers and employees may be parties to legal proceedings, many of which normally occur in government operations. In addition, at any given time there may be civil actions pending against the USVI, which could, if determined adversely to the USVI, affect the USVI's expenditures and, in some cases, its revenues and cash flow. Because of the prospective nature of any such proceeding, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome of such litigation, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the Territory to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on the Fund's investments.

Northern Mariana Islands

Relationship between the U.S. and the Northern Mariana Islands

The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (as used in this section, "CNMI" or the "Commonwealth") emerged from the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands ("TTPI"), which the U.S. administered on behalf of the United Nations. The U.S. law (the Covenant) making the CNMI a U.S. territory passed in 1975.

General Economic Conditions

The main drivers of the economy of the CNMI are its garment and tourism industries. Therefore, economic problems or factors that negatively impact these industries may have a negative impact on the value of CNMI municipal securities and entities issuing these securities.

When the CNMI became a U.S. territory in 1975, the U.S. government agreed to exempt the Commonwealth from federal minimum wage and immigration laws in an effort to help stimulate industry and the economy. As a result, the Commonwealth was able to build a large garment industry which at one time encompassed 40% of the economy, and its rapid growth from 1980-1995 helped put the Commonweal at the top of the list of economic growth worldwide. Critical to this growth was duty-free access to U.S. markets and local authority over immigration and the minimum wage. However, in 2005 when the World Trade Organization ("WTO") eliminated quotas on apparel imports from other textile producing countries, the CNMI a competitive advantage. In addition, the CNMI came under U.S. minimum wage regulations in 2007 and U.S. immigration law in 2008. As such, the Commonwealth must now follow all U.S. immigration and minimum wage laws. The minimum wage will be increased by $0.50 each year until 2015 when it reaches the current U.S. minimum wage. The actions have potentially raised the production costs to a level that renders the garment industry uncompetitive for the Commonwealth. Also, under new immigration laws, all non-U.S. born residents must leave the CNMI by 2012 unless they qualify for a working visa. As a result of these changes, as well as other factors, the garment industry has declined significantly which has affected jobs, population, income and CNMI government (as used in this section, "Government") revenues.

Tourism is also a significant industry for the Commonwealth's economy. The CNMI continues its heavy dependence on Asian markets for tourism. In 2008, 51% of visitors were from Japan, 26% from Korea and 12% from Russia and China. Therefore, the Commonwealth's economy is very sensitive to fluctuations in each of these economies, but especially to that of Japan. The March 11, 2011 earthquake that occurred near northeastern Japan and the subsequent tsunami that affected Japan's northern and central east coast will likely have a negative effect on the Commonwealth's tourism, although it is too early to predict the ultimate effect of these natural disasters on the Commonwealth's economy.

Because of the current economic environment, including the downturn of the garment industry, the magnitude of the global recession and a slew of misfortunes that negatively impacted tourism in the CNMI (including earthquakes, tsunamis, the Asian economic crisis in the 1990's, the September 1, 2001 terrorist attacks and the outbreak of diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2003 and the H1N1 virus in 2009), the Commonwealth faces significant economic problems.

The Commonwealth's general fund (as used in this section, "General Fund") has been in a deficit position since 1994. At the end of fiscal year 2009, the General Fund had an accumulated deficit of $300.8 million, reflecting an increase of 17.4% from the General Fund's deficit of $256.6 million at the start of the fiscal year. The deficit was created from years of deficit operations resulting from both incorrect revenue and expenditure assumptions and the consequences from not adopting a budget. In a year in which the CNMI did not adopt a budget, it could spend at the prior budget's levels, which, in some cases, was four years old. As a result, its expenditures could be significantly more than its revenues. The deficit has historically been funded, at least in part, by eliminating payments to the Northern Mariana Islands Retirement Fund (as used in this section, the "Retirement Fund"). The elimination of retirement funding has also left the Retirement Fund grossly underfunded.

According to the latest audit report available, which was conducted for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Retirement Fund had unfunded liability of $545,965,188, and, as of September 30, 2009, Retirement Fund assets available for benefits were not sufficient to pay for its accrued benefits. Increased expenditures to the Retirement Fund in upcoming years may exert pressure on the budget.

There can be no assurances that CNMI will not continue to face fiscal stress and that such circumstances will not become more difficult, or that other impacts of the current economic situation will not further materially adversely affect the Commonwealth's financial condition.

2012 Budget and Risks

On September 26, 2011, the Governor of the CNMI (as used in this section, "Governor") signed the 2012 Budget into law. As passed, the adopted budget projects that net budgetary resources available for appropriation will be $102 million, approximately $20 million less than the previous fiscal year. The adopted budget includes $8,429,000 for debt service for certain previously issued bonds.

Budget Risks. Many complex political, social, and economic factors influence the economy and finances of the CNMI. Such factors may affect the Commonwealth's budget unpredictably from year to year. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) developments with respect to the national economy as a whole; (ii) developments with respect to the economies of Japan, Korea, China and Russia that impact tourism; (iii) developments that impact the garment industry; (iv) developments in the world economy, and in particular commodity prices such as oil; (v) U.S. fiscal and economic policies, including fiscal stimulus efforts in general and the amount of federal aid to the Commonwealth; and (vi) whether actual budgeted revenues are less than projected revenues and actual expenditures are more than projected expenditures.

These factors are continually changing, and no assurances can be given with respect to how these factors or other factors will materialize in the future or what impact they will have on the CNMI's fiscal and economic condition. Such factors could have an adverse impact on the CNMI's budget in the current year and could result in declines, possibly severe, in the value of CNMI municipal issuers' outstanding obligations, increases in their future borrowing costs, and impairment of their ability to pay debt service on their obligations.

Ratings

The rating of the Commonwealth's general obligation debt as of November 11, 2011, is "B2" by Moody's and "AA+" by S&P.

Litigation

The Commonwealth and its officers and employees may be parties to legal proceedings, many of which normally occur in government operations. In addition, at any given time there may be civil actions pending against the CNMI, which could, if determined adversely to the Commonwealth, affect the CNMI's expenditures and, in some cases, its revenues and cash flow. Because of the prospective nature of any such proceeding, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome of such litigation, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the Commonwealth to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on the Fund's investments.

Appendix C: Municipal Bond Ratings Definitions

Municipal Bond Ratings Definitions

Below are summaries of the rating definitions used by the nationally recognized rating agencies listed below for municipal securities. 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 OBLIGATION RATINGS

Moody's long-term obligation ratings are opinions of the relative credit risk of fixed-income obligations with an original maturity of one year or more. They address the possibility that a financial obligation will not be honored as promised. Such ratings reflect both the likelihood of default and any financial loss suffered in the event of default.

Aaa: Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal credit risk.

Aa: Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.

A: Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.

Baa: Obligations rated Baa are subject to moderate credit risk. They are considered medium-grade and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.

Ba: Obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk.

B: Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.

Caa: Obligations rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.

Ca: Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.

C: Obligations rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.

Moody's appends numerical modifiers "1", "2" and "3" to 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.

US MUNICIPAL SHORT-TERM DEBT AND DEMAND OBLIGATION RATINGS

SHORT-TERM OBLIGATION RATINGS

There are three rating categories for short-term municipal obligations that are considered investment grade. These ratings are designated as Municipal Investment Grade (MIG) and are divided into three levels - MIG 1 through MIG 3. In addition, those short-term obligations that are of speculative quality are designated SG, or speculative grade. MIG ratings expire at the maturity of the obligation.

MIG 1: This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG 2: This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.

MIG 3: This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.

SG: This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.

DEMAND OBLIGATION RATINGS

In the case of variable rate demand obligations ("VRDOs"), a two-component rating is assigned; a long or short-term debt rating and a demand obligation rating. The first element represents Moody's evaluation of the degree of risk associated with scheduled principal and interest payments. The second element represents Moody's evaluation of the degree of risk associated with the ability to receive purchase price upon demand ("demand feature"), using a variation of the MIG rating scale, the Variable Municipal Investment Grade or VMIG rating.
When either the long- or short-term aspect of a VRDO is not rated, that piece is designated NR, e.g., Aaa/NR or NR/VMIG 1. VMIG rating expirations are a function of each issue's specific structural or credit features.

VMIG 1: This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by the superior short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

VMIG 2: This designation denotes strong credit quality. Good protection is afforded by the strong short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

VMIG 3: This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Adequate protection is afforded by the satisfactory short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

SG: This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Demand features rated in this category may be supported by a liquidity provider that does not have an investment grade short-term rating or may lack the structural and/or legal protections necessary to ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

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:

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;

Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and

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' has 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' differs 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' is 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' 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.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C: Obligations 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' is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces 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' is 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' is 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' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

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

D: An 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.

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', and '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:

Amortization schedule-the larger the final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will
be treated as a note; and

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, and 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.

Item 30. Indemnification

Reference is made to the provisions of Article IX of Registrant’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust filed as Exhibit 28(a) to this Registration Statement, and incorporated herein by reference.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the 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 the 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.
