Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for September 30, 2012. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders

Oppenheimer International Bond Fund:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Oppenheimer International Bond Fund (the Fund) as of and for the year ended September 28, 2012, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Fund’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of September 28, 2012.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of Oppenheimer International Bond Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

N-SAR EXHIBIT 77E

Pending Litigation. Since 2009, a number of class action lawsuits have been pending in federal courts against OppenheimerFunds, Inc., the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Manager”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not 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 securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. 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.

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 Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated 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 an order and final judgment 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. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against the Manager and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

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. 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.

MASSACHUSETTS TRUST CONVERTING TO DELAWARE TRUST

Oppenheimer International Bond Fund

N-SAR Exhibit – Item 77M

Effective August 21, 2012, Oppenheimer International Bond Fund (the “Registrant”), a Delaware statutory trust, became the successor issuer to Oppenheimer International Bond Fund (the “Predecessor Registrant”), a Massachusetts business trust.

The Board and shareholders of the Registrant approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, which called for a reorganization of the Fund (the “Reorganization”) from a Massachusetts business trust (the “Massachusetts Fund”) into a newly formed Delaware statutory trust (the “Delaware Fund”).

Following the Reorganization, shareholders of the Massachusetts Fund became shareholders of the Delaware Fund. As of the effective date of the Reorganization, the Delaware Fund held the same portfolio of securities previously held by the Massachusetts Fund. As the successor to the Massachusetts Fund’s operations, the Delaware Fund adopted the Massachusetts Fund’s registration statement under federal securities laws with amendments to show the new Delaware statutory trust structure and remains subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules thereunder.

For additional information please refer to the Registrant’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 2011 (Accession No. 0000728889-11-001558).

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Agreement”) is made as of this 21st day of August 2012 by and between Oppenheimer International Bond Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the “Fund”), and Oppenheimer International Bond Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (the “DE Trust”) (the Fund and the DE Trust are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “parties”).

In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Plan of Reorganization.

a. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent described in Section 3 hereof, the Fund will convey, transfer and deliver to the DE Trust at the closing provided for in Section 2 (hereinafter referred to as the “Closing”) all of the Fund’s then-existing assets (the “Assets”). In consideration thereof, the DE Trust agrees at the Closing (i) to assume and pay when due all obligations and liabilities of the Fund, existing on or after the Effective Date of the Reorganization (as defined in Section 2 hereof), whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise, including all fees and expenses in connection with this Agreement, which fees and expenses shall, in turn, include, without limitation, costs of legal advice, accounting, printing, mailing, proxy solicitation and transfer taxes, if any (collectively, the “Liabilities”), such Liabilities to become the obligations and liabilities of the DE Trust; and (ii) to deliver to the Fund in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 1, full and fractional shares of each series and class of shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share, of the DE Trust, equal in number to the number of full and fractional shares of the corresponding series and class of shares of beneficial interest of the Fund outstanding at the time of calculation of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) on the business day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Reorganization. The reorganization contemplated hereby is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”). The Fund shall distribute to the Fund’s shareholders the shares of the DE Trust in accordance with this Agreement and the resolutions of the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board of Trustees”) authorizing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

b. In order to effect the delivery of shares described in Section 1(a)(ii) hereof, the DE Trust will establish an open account for each shareholder of the Fund and, on the Effective Date of the Reorganization, will credit to such account full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share, of the corresponding series and class of the DE Trust equal to the number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest such shareholder holds in the corresponding series and class of the Fund at the time of calculation of the Fund’s NAV on the business day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Reorganization. At the time of calculation of the Fund’s NAV on the business day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Reorganization, the net asset value per share of each series and class of shares of the DE Trust shall be deemed to be the same as the net asset value per share of each corresponding series and class of shares of the Fund. On the Effective Date of the Reorganization, each share of a series and class of the Fund will be deemed to represent the same number of shares of the corresponding series and class of the DE Trust. Simultaneously with the crediting of the shares of the DE Trust to the shareholders of record of the Fund, the shares of the Fund held by such shareholders shall be cancelled. Each shareholder of the Fund will have the right to deliver their share certificates of the Fund to the DE Trust in exchange for shares of the DE Trust. However, a shareholder need not deliver such certificates to the DE Trust unless the shareholder so desires.

c. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date of the Reorganization, the Fund shall take all necessary steps under Massachusetts law to effect a complete dissolution of the Fund.

d. The expenses of entering into and carrying out this Agreement will be borne by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and the Fund, with 35% and 65% borne by each, respectively.

 

2. Closing and Effective Date of the Reorganization.

The Closing shall consist of (i) the conveyance, transfer and delivery of the Assets to the DE Trust in exchange for the assumption and payment, when due, by the DE Trust, of the Liabilities of the Fund; and (ii) the issuance and delivery of the DE Trust’s shares in accordance with Section 1(b), together with related acts necessary to consummate such transactions. Subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and the final adjournment of the meeting of shareholders of the Fund at which this Agreement is considered and approved, the Closing shall occur on such date as the officers of the parties may mutually agree (“Effective Date of the Reorganization”).

 

3. Conditions Precedent.

The obligations of the Fund and the DE Trust to effectuate the transactions hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

a. Such authority and orders from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and state securities commissions as may be necessary to permit the parties to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have been received;

b. (i) One or more post-effective amendments to the Fund’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A (“Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), containing such amendments to such Registration Statement as are determined under the supervision of the Board of Trustees to be necessary and appropriate as a result of this Agreement, shall have been filed with the Commission; (ii) the DE Trust shall have adopted as its own such Registration Statement, as so amended; (iii) the most recent post-effective amendment or amendments to the Fund’s Registration Statement shall have become effective, and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the Commission (other than any such stop order, proceeding or threatened proceeding which shall have been withdrawn or terminated); and (iv) an amendment of the Form N-8A Notification of Registration filed pursuant to Section 8(a) of the 1940 Act (“Form N-8A”) reflecting the change in name and legal form of the Fund to a Delaware statutory trust shall have been filed with the Commission and the DE Trust shall have expressly adopted such amended Form N-8A as its own for purposes of the 1940 Act;

c. Each party shall have received an opinion of K&L Gates to the effect that, assuming the reorganization contemplated hereby is carried out in accordance with this Agreement, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Delaware, and in accordance with customary representations provided by the parties in a certificate(s) delivered to K&L Gates, the reorganization contemplated by this Agreement qualifies as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code, and thus will not give rise to the recognition of income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes to the Fund, the DE Trust or the shareholders of the Fund or the DE Trust;

d. The shares of the DE Trust are eligible for offering to the public in those states of the United States in which the shares of the Fund are currently eligible for offering to the public so as to permit the issuance and delivery by the DE Trust of the shares contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated;

e. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall have been duly adopted and approved by the appropriate action of the Board of Trustees and the shareholders of the Fund;

f. The shareholders of the Fund shall have voted to direct the Fund to vote, and the Fund shall have voted, as sole shareholder of each series of the DE Trust, to:

  (iii) Approve, if applicable, a Subadvisory Agreement between the Investment Adviser and a Sub-Adviser, substantially in the form approved by shareholders of the Fund; and

 

  (iv) Approve Plans of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for applicable share classes and series of the DE Trust that are substantially the same as the Plans of Distribution of the Fund and its series.

  (i) Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement described in paragraph (f)(ii) of this Section 3 between the Investment Adviser and the DE Trust;

 

  (i) Approval of any Subadvisory Agreement described in paragraph (f)(iii) of this Section 3 between the Investment Adviser and a Subadvisor;

 

  (iii) Approval of the assignment to the DE Trust of the custody agreement(s), as amended to date, between JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the Fund;
  (iv) Selection of KPMG LLP as the DE Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year;

  (ix) Submission of the matters referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section 3 to the Fund as sole shareholder of each series of the DE Trust; and

At any time prior to the Closing, any of the foregoing conditions may be waived or amended, or any additional terms and conditions may be fixed, by the Boards of Trustees of the Fund and the DE Trust, if, in the judgment of such Boards, such waiver, amendment, term or condition will not affect in a materially adverse way the benefits intended to be accorded the shareholders of the Fund and the DE Trust under this Agreement.

 

4. Dissolution of the Fund.

Promptly following the Closing, the officers of the Fund shall take all steps necessary under Massachusetts law to dissolve its business trust status, including publication of any necessary notices to creditors, receipt of any necessary pre-dissolution clearances from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and filing for record with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of a Certificate of Termination.

 

5. Termination.

The Board of Trustees of the Fund may terminate this Agreement and abandon the reorganization contemplated hereby, notwithstanding approval thereof by the shareholders of the Fund, at any time prior to the Effective Date of the Reorganization if, in the judgment of such Board, the facts and circumstances make proceeding with this Agreement inadvisable.

 

6. Entire Agreement.

The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been made and executed on behalf of the Fund and the DE Trust and is not executed or made by the officers or Trustees of the Fund or the DE Trust individually, but only as officers and Trustees under the Fund’s charter or the DE Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, respectively, and that the obligations of the Fund and the DE Trust hereunder are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders of the Fund or the DE Trust individually, but bind only the estate of the Fund or the DE Trust, as appropriate.

 

8. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

9. Governing Law.

This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Fund and the DE Trust have each caused this Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to be executed on its behalf as of the day and year first-above written.
