                               SHAREHOLDER MEETING


                       OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND


Original meeting date:              9/11/00
Adjourned meeting date:    10/02/00 (10:00 a.m.)

There are six proposals  shareholders are being asked to vote on. Proposal No. 4
consists of four (4)  sub-proposals.  The Fund's Board of Trustees  recommends a
vote in favor of or FOR each of the proposals and sub-proposals.

Proposal No. 1: Election of Trustees.

Current law provides  that the Fund's  Board may fill  vacancies on the Board of
Trustees or appoint  new  Trustees  only if,  immediately  thereafter,  at least
two-thirds  of the Trustees will have been elected by  shareholders.  Currently,
three of the Fund's  eleven  Trustees  have not been  elected  by  shareholders.
Because the Fund has not had a shareholder meeting for some time, the percentage
of  trustees  of the Fund that have been  elected  by  shareholders  is close to
two-thirds,  and no additional  trustees/directors  may be added to the Board of
the Fund unless first elected by shareholders. Therefore, shareholders are being
asked to elect directors.

Proposal No. 2: Ratification of Auditor's Selection.

The Fund is not required to hold annual  shareholder  meetings and does not hold
such meetings. However, when a shareholder meeting is held, the Fund's selection
of  independent  auditors  must be submitted  for  ratification  or rejection by
shareholders at that meeting. Because the Fund is holding a shareholder meeting,
shareholders  are being  asked to ratify the  Fund's  selection  of  independent
auditors.

Proposal No. 3: Changing the Fund's  Diversification  Status from diversified to
non - diversified.

The purpose of this proposal is to increase the Fund's investment flexibility by
allowing  a greater  portion  of the fund's  assets to be  invested  in the debt
obligations of single countries. This proposal is intended to enhance the Fund's
performance  at times  when  investment  opportunities  in the  "sovereign  debt
sector" focus on a handful of foreign governments.

Proposal No. 4: Elimination of Certain Fundamental Investment Restrictions.

This proposal consists of four (4)  sub-proposals.  Each of these  sub-proposals
must be voted on separately.

***Summary  of impact  of the  elimination  of  certain  fundamental  investment
restrictions:

Because of recent regulatory  changes,  certain  investment  restrictions are no
longer applicable to the Fund. Certain other investment  restrictions adopted by
the Fund are more  restrictive  than currently  required,  and other  investment
restrictions  adopted  by the Fund  reflect  outdated  industry  conditions  and
practices.  The Fund's Manager considers many of these restrictions  unnecessary
or unwarranted.

The Fund's  Board finds that the  proposed  elimination  of certain  fundamental
investment  restrictions  of the Fund is in the best interests of  shareholders.
The proposed  changes are intended to provide the Fund with greater  flexibility
to respond to future  market  developments  and to  increase  future  investment
opportunities.

The  proposed  changes are not  expected to  materially  change the current risk
profile of an investment in the Fund.

The  elimination  of a fundamental  policy does not mean that the Fund's current
principal  investment policies and strategies will change. If the Fund's Manager
decides to materially change the Fund's investment policies and strategies, such
a change will be described in the Fund's prospectus.

Sub-Proposal No. 4.A.: Eliminating Prohibition on Margin Purchases.

It is  proposed  that the  Fund's  current  fundamental  investment  restriction
prohibiting it from purchasing securities on margin be eliminated.  The existing
restriction is not required to be a fundamental investment restriction.

Elimination  of this  restriction  is unlikely to affect the  management  of the
Fund. The 1940 Act  prohibitions on margin  purchases and will continue to apply
to the Fund.

Sub-Proposal No. 4.B.: Eliminating Restriction on Purchasing Securities in which
Officers and Trustees of the Fund have an Interest.

The  Fund  is  currently  subject  to  a  fundamental   investment   restriction
prohibiting  it from  purchasing  the securities of an issuer if the officers of
the  Fund or the  Manager  individually  own 1/2 of 1% of  such  securities  and
together own more than 5% of such  securities.  This  restriction was originally
adopted to address a state requirement that is no longer applicable.

Elimination  of this  restriction  could  increase the Fund's  flexibility  when
choosing investments in the future.

Sub-Proposal  No. 4.C.:  Eliminating  Restriction  on  Investing  for Purpose of
Acquiring Control.

It is  proposed  that the  Fund's  current  fundamental  investment  restriction
prohibiting  it  from  investing  in  portfolio  companies  for the  purpose  of
acquiring control be eliminated.  The Fund has no intention of investing for the
purpose of acquiring control of a company, and elimination of the restriction is
not expected to have a significant impact on the Fund's investment  practices or
management.

The restriction is unnecessary and may reduce possible investment  opportunities
because a mutual  fund might be  considered  to be  investing  for control if it
purchases a large  percentage of the securities of a single issuer.  Eliminating
this restriction  also will give the Fund greater  flexibility in exercising its
rights as a  shareholder  of the  portfolio  companies  it invests in, to try to
protect its interests and those of its shareholders.

Sub-Proposal No. 4.D.:  Eliminating  Restriction on Investing in Mineral-Related
Leases.

The Fund is currently subject to a fundamental  restriction  prohibiting it from
investing  in  oil,  gas  or  mineral-related  programs.  This  restriction  was
originally  adopted to address state  requirements that are no longer applicable
to  the  Fund.  Elimination  of  this  restriction  could  increase  the  Fund's
flexibility when choosing investments in the future.

The Fund will continue to be prohibited from purchasing commodities or commodity
contracts.

PROPOSAL 5: TO APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO CERTAIN FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
OF THE FUND

Proposal 4 is composed of four separate  proposed  changes to the Fund's current
investment policies. Shareholders are requested to vote to approve or disapprove
all four  together.  The changes are  necessary to permit the Fund to lend money
to, and borrow  money from,  other  Oppenheimer  mutual  funds and to pledge its
assets as  collateral  for the loan.  Permitting  the Fund to borrow  money from
other  Oppenheimer  funds would afford the Fund the  flexibility to use the most
cost-effective alternative to satisfy its borrowing requirements. The reason for
lending  money to an  affiliated  fund is that the  lending  fund may be able to
obtain a higher rate of return than it could from interest  rates on alternative
short-term  investments.  To  assure  that  the  Fund  is not  disadvantaged  by
borrowing  money from or  lending  money to another  Oppenheimer  fund,  certain
safeguards will be implemented.

PROPOSAL  6: TO  AUTHORIZE  THE  TRUSTEES  TO  ADOPT  AN  AMENDED  AND  RESTATED
DECLARATION OF TRUST

The Board of Trustees has approved and recommends  that the  shareholders of the
Fund authorize them to adopt and execute the Amended and Restated Declaration of
Trust.  The New  Declaration of Trust is a more modern form of trust  instrument
for a Massachusetts business trust, such as the Fund, and going forward, will be
used  as the  standard  Declaration  of  Trust  for all  new  Oppenheimer  funds
Massachusetts business trusts.

Adoption of the New  Declaration  of Trust will not result in any changes in the
Fund's  Trustees or  officers  or in the  investment  policies  and  shareholder
services described in the Fund's current prospectus.

The New Declaration of Trust amends the Current Declaration of Trust in a number
of significant ways. The proxy statement summarizes some of the more significant
amendments to the Current  Declaration of Trust effected by the New  Declaration
of Trust.
