ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Strategies

What Is the Fund's Investment Objective? The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

What DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN? The Fund invests mainly in common stocks of
small-capitalization U.S. companies that the Fund's investment manager,
OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the "Manager") believes have favorable business trends
or prospects. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 65%
of its total assets in common stocks and other equity securities of "growth"
and/or "value" companies having a small market capitalization. These may include
small, unseasoned companies. A "value" investment style attempts to find
companies whose securities are believed to be undervalued in the marketplace. A
"growth" investment style encompasses a search for companies whose earnings are
expected to increase at a greater rate than the overall market. The Fund
incorporates a blended style of investing combining both growth and value
styles.

The Fund currently considers an issuer having a market capitalization
of up to $2.5 billion to be a "small-cap" issuer. The Fund measures that
capitalization at the time the Fund buys the security, and it is not required to
sell the security if the issuer's capitalization grows above $2.5 billion. Over
time, the Fund may change the range of assets it uses to define "small-cap"
issuers, as market conditions change. The Fund's investment program is more
fully explained in "About the Fund's Investments," below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is "Market Capitalization"?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In general, the market capitalization is the value of a company
determined by the total market value of its issued and outstanding common
stock.

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

HOW DO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? In
selecting securities for purchase or sale by the Fund, the Fund's portfolio
managers use an investment process that combines quantitative models,
fundamental research about particular securities and individual judgment. While
this process and the inter-relationship of the factors used may change over time
and its implementation may vary in particular cases, in general the selection
process involves the use of:

o Multi-factor quantitative models: These include a group of
"top-down" models that analyze data such as relative valuations,
relative price trends, interest rates and the shape of the yield
curve. These help direct portfolio emphasis by industries and
value or growth styles. A group of "bottom up" models helps to
rank stocks in a universe typically including the 1000 stocks that
follow the largest 1000 stocks in order of market capitalization,
selecting stocks for relative attractiveness by analyzing
fundamental stock and company characteristics.

o Fundamental research: The portfolio managers use internal research
and analysis by other market analysts, with emphasis on current
company news and industry-related events.

o Judgment: The portfolio is then continuously re-balanced by the
portfolio managers, based upon the quantitative tools and
quantitative factors described above.

In seeking broad diversification of the Fund's portfolio, the portfolio
managers currently search primarily for the following characteristics (although
these may vary over time and in different cases): o Companies with a small
market capitalization, primarily under $2.5 billion.

o Companies with financial characteristics attractive to our quantitative
models.

o Companies experiencing positive changes in operations due to enhanced
competitive ability and/or beneficial industry trends.

The portfolio managers employ a disciplined approach in deciding
whether to sell particular portfolio securities based on quantitative models and
fundamental research. If a particular stock exhibits a material decrease in
revenue and earnings growth, they will consider selling the stock. In addition,
if the reason that the portfolio managers originally purchased the stock of a
particular company materially changes then they may also decide to sell the
stock.

Who Is the Fund Designed For? The Fund is designed primarily for investors
seeking capital appreciation in their investment over the long term. Those
investors should be willing to assume the greater risks of short-term share
price fluctuations that are typical for a fund focusing on small-cap stocks. The
Fund does not seek current income and the income from its investments will
likely be small, so it is not designed for investors needing current income.
Because of its focus on long-term capital appreciation, the Fund may be
appropriate for part of a retirement plan's investments. The Fund is not a
complete investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have risks to some degree. The Fund's investments are subject to
changes in their value from a number of factors described below. There is also
the risk that poor security selection by the Manager will cause the Fund to
underperform other funds having a similar objective.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCKS. Stocks fluctuate in price, and their short-term
volatility at times may be great. Because the Fund invests primarily in common
stocks, the value of the Fund's portfolio will be affected by changes in the
stock markets. The Fund's net asset values per share will fluctuate as the
values of the Fund's portfolio securities change.

The prices of individual stocks do not all move in the same direction
uniformly or at the same time. Different stock markets may behave differently
from each other. The Fund currently focuses its stock investments in U.S.
issuers and accordingly will be affected primarily by changes in U.S. stock
markets.

Other factors can affect a particular stock's price, such as poor
earnings reports by the issuer, loss of major customers, major litigation
against the issuer, or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or
its industry. Also, securities of small-cap companies may have more volatile
prices than stocks of medium and large-size companies.

At times, the Manager may increase the Fund's emphasis of its
investments in a particular industry or sector. To the extent that the Fund
increases its emphasis on stocks in a particular industry, its share values may
fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry, such as changes in
economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or
supplies, or other events that affect that industry more than others.

SPECIAL RISKS OF SMALL-CAP STOCKS. The Fund invests mainly in stock of small-cap
companies, which generally are newer companies. While these stocks may offer
greater opportunities for long-term capital appreciation than larger, more
established companies, they involve substantially greater risks of loss and
price fluctuations. Small-cap companies may have limited product lines or
markets for their products, limited access to financial resources and less depth
in management skill than larger, more established companies. Small-cap stocks
may be less liquid than those of larger issuers. That means the Fund could have
greater difficulty selling a security of a small cap issuer at an acceptable
price, especially in periods of market volatility. That increases the Fund's
potential for losses. Also, it may take a substantial period of time before the
Fund realizes a gain on an investment in a small-cap company, if it realizes any
gain at all.

How Risky is the Fund Overall? The risks described above collectively form the
overall risk profile of the Fund and can affect the value of the Fund's
investments, its investment performance and the prices per share. Particular
investments and investment strategies also have risks. These risks mean that you
can lose money by investing in the Fund. When you redeem your shares, they may
be worth more or less than what you paid for them. There is no assurance that
the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

In the short term, the stock market and small-cap stocks can be
volatile. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The
Fund generally does not use income-producing investments to help cushion the
Fund's total return from changes in stock prices. In the OppenheimerFunds
spectrum, the Fund is generally more aggressive than a large capitalization
stock fund or a balanced 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

Because the Fund commenced operations on July 2, 1999, calendar year performance
information for 1999 is not included in this Prospectus. To obtain the Fund's
performance information, you can either contact the Transfer Agent at the
toll-free telephone number on the back cover of this Prospectus to request the
Fund's annual report or visit the OppenheimerFunds Internet web site at
http://www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The Fund pays a variety of expenses directly for management of its assets,
administration, distribution of its shares and other services. Those expenses
are subtracted from the Fund's assets to calculate the Fund's net asset values
per share. All shareholders therefore pay those expenses indirectly.
Shareholders pay other expenses directly, such as sales charges and account
transaction charges. The following tables are meant to help you understand the
fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The
numbers below are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal period ended
June 30, 2000.

Shareholder Fees (charges paid directly from your investment):

1. A contingent deferred sales charge may apply to redemptions of investments of
$1 million or more ($500,000 for retirement plan accounts) of Class A shares.
See "How to Buy Shares" for details.
2. Applies to redemptions in first year after purchase. The contingent deferred
sales charge declines to 1% in the sixth year and is eliminated after that.
3. Applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
4. A contingent deferred sales charge applies to shares redeemed within 18
months of retirement plan's first purchase.

Expenses may vary in future years. "Other expenses" include transfer agent fees,
custodial expenses, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays.

Examples. The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of
investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The
examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for the
time periods indicated and reinvest your dividends and distributions.

The first example assumes that you redeem all of your shares at the end
of those periods. The second example assumes that you keep your shares. Both
examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
class's operating expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be higher or
lower because expenses will vary over time. Based on these assumptions your
expenses would be as follows:

<TABLE>

-------------------------------- --------------------- -------------------- ------------------- -----------------
Class N Shares

In the first example, expenses include the initial sales charge for Class A and
the applicable Class B, Class C or Class N Shares contingent deferred sales
charges. In the second example, the Class A expenses include the sales charge,
but Class B, Class C and Class N expenses do not include the contingent deferred
sales charges.

1 Class B expenses for years 7 through 10 are based on Class A expenses since
Class B shares automatically convert to Class A after 6 years.

About the Fund's Investments

THE FUNDS' PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. The allocation of the Fund's portfolio
among different types of investments will vary over time based on the Manager's
evaluation of economic and market trends. The Fund's portfolio might not always
include all of the different types of investments described below. The Statement
of Additional Information contains more detailed information about the Fund's
investment policies and risks.

Small-CapStocks. The Fund invests mainly in a diversified portfolio of common
stocks of smaller companies to seek capital appreciation. Small-cap
growth companies could include, for example, companies that are
developing new products or services, that have relatively favorable
prospects, or that are expanding into new and growing markets. They may
be providing new products or services that can enable them to capture a
dominant or important market position. They may have a special area of
expertise or the capability to take advantage of changes in demographic
factors in a more profitable way than larger, more established
companies. Current examples include companies in the fields of
telecommunications, biotechnology, computer software, and new consumer
products. Small-cap value companies are those companies believed to be
undervalued by the marketplace. Current examples may include consumer
and retail stocks.

The definition of small capitalization issuers used by the Manager is
based on the current market capitalization measurement used by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc., an independent mutual fund rating company.
The range of assets can change and the Manager may choose another basis
for determining its definition of "small cap."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is a "small cap" issuer? Small cap issuers are those issuers
having a market capitalization of up to $2.5 billion.

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

Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund can invest in small,
unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in operation
less than three years, including the operations of any predecessors.
Because these companies have a limited operating history and may be more
dependent on the efforts of individual managers, their securities may
have limited liquidity and their prices may be very volatile. The Fund
currently does not intend to invest more than 20% of its net assets in
these securities.

Newer growth companies typically retain a large part of their earnings
for research, development or investment in capital assets. Therefore,
they do not tend to emphasize paying dividends, and may not pay any
dividends for some time after the Fund buys their stock. However, the
Fund does not have current income as a goal.

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund may engage in short-term trading to try to achieve
its objective, however, it is not expected to have a portfolio turnover
rate in excess of 150% annually. Portfolio turnover affects brokerage
costs the Fund pays and high portfolio turnover (for example over 100%)
can increase the costs the Fund pays and reduce the performance of the
Fund. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells its portfolio
investments, it must generally pay those gains out to shareholders,
increasing their taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table
at the end of this Prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates
during prior fiscal years.

CAN THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES CHANGE? The Fund's Board of
Trustees can change non-fundamental investment policies without shareholder
approval, although significant changes will be described in amendments to this
Prospectus. Fundamental policies cannot be changed without the approval of a
majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares. The Fund's objective is a
fundamental policy. Investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are
listed in the Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not
fundamental unless this Prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information
says that it is. The Board of Trustees recently requested shareholder approval
to eliminate or change certain fundamental investment restrictions of the Fund.
For further information regarding these proposals, please see the section
"Investment Restrictions" in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

Other Investment Strategies. To seek its objective, the Fund can use the
investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not always
use all of them. These techniques have risks, although some are designed to help
reduce overall investment or market risks.

Other Investments. The Fund's investments are not limited only to small-cap
issuers. Under normal market conditions, up to 35% of the assets of the
Fund can be invested in securities of mid-size and large capitalization
companies, if the Manager believes they offer opportunities for growth.

Other Equity Securities. Equity securities include common stocks, as well as
"equity equivalents" such as preferred stocks and securities
convertible into common stock. Preferred stock has a set dividend rate
and ranks after bonds and before common stocks in its claim for
dividends and on assets if the issuer is liquidated or becomes
bankrupt. The Manager considers some convertible securities to be
"equity equivalents" because of the conversion feature and in that case
their rating has less impact on the investment decision than in the
case of debt securities.

Special Risks of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). The Fund has no limit on the
amount of its assets that can be invested in IPOs. By definition,
securities issued in IPOs have not traded publicly until the time of
their offerings. Special risks associated with IPOs may include, among
others, the fact that there may be only a limited number of shares
available for trading. The market for those securities may be
unseasoned. The issuer may have a limited operating history. These
factors may contribute to price volatility. The limited number of
shares available for trading in some IPOs may also make it more
difficult for the Fund to buy or sell significant amounts of shares
without an unfavorable impact on prevailing prices. In addition, some
companies initially offering their shares publicly are involved in
relatively new industries or lines of business, which may not be widely
understood by investors. Some of the companies involved in new
industries may be regarded as developmental stage companies, without
revenues or operating income, or the near-term prospects of them. Many
IPOs are by small- or micro-cap companies that are undercapitalized.

Risks of Foreign Investing. The Fund can buy securities of companies or
governments in any country, developed or underdeveloped. While there is
no limit on the amount of the Fund's assets that may be invested in
foreign securities, the Manager does not currently plan to invest
significant amounts of the Fund's assets in foreign securities. While
foreign securities offer special investment opportunities, there are
also special risks, such as the effects of a change in value of a
foreign currency against the U.S. dollar, which will result in a change
in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign
currency.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments may be illiquid because they do
not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or
dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. A restricted security
is one that has a contractual restriction on its resale or which cannot
be sold publicly until it is registered under the Securities Act of
1933. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in
illiquid or restricted securities (the Board can increase that limit to
15%). Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to
qualified institutional purchasers may not be subject to that limit.
The Manager monitors holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing
basis to determine whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate
liquidity.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different kinds of
"derivative" investments. In general terms, a derivative investment is
an investment contract whose value depends on (or is derived from) the
value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index. In the broadest
sense, options, futures contracts, and other hedging instruments the
Fund might use may be considered "derivative" investments. The Fund
does not expect to use derivatives to a significant degree and is not
required to use them in seeking its objective.

Derivatives have risks. If the issuer of the derivative investment does
not pay the amount due, the Fund can lose money on the investment. The
underlying security or investment on which a derivative is based, and
the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Manager expected it
to. As a result of these risks the Fund could realize less principal or
income from the investment than expected or its hedge might be
unsuccessful. As a result, the Fund's share prices could fall. Certain
derivative investments held by the Fund might be illiquid.

o Hedging. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts, put and call
options, forward contracts and options on futures and broadly-based
securities indices. These are all referred to as "hedging instruments."
Some of these strategies would hedge the Fund's portfolio against price
fluctuations. Other hedging strategies, such as buying futures and call
options, would tend to increase the Fund's exposure to the securities
market.

There are also special risks in particular hedging strategies. Options
trading involves the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio
turnover. If the Manager used a hedging instrument at the wrong time or
judged market conditions incorrectly, the strategy could reduce the
Fund's return.

TemporaryDefensive Investments. In times of unstable or adverse market or
economic conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in
temporary defensive investments. Generally they would be highly-rated
commercial paper and money market instruments, U.S. government
securities, and repurchase agreements. To the extent the Fund invests
defensively in these securities, it might not achieve its investment
objective.

How the Fund Is Managed

The Manager. 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 January 1960. The
Manager (including subsidiaries and an affiliate) managed more than $ 125
billion in assets as of September 30, 2000, including other Oppenheimer funds
with more than 5 million shareholder accounts. The Manager is located at Two
World Trade Center, 34th Floor, New York, New York 10048-0203.

PortfolioManagers. The portfolio managers of the Fund are Charles Albers and
Mark Zavanelli. Mr. Albers is a Vice President of the Fund, a Senior
Vice President of the Manager and an officer and portfolio manager of
other Oppenheimer funds. Mr. Zavanelli is an Assistant Vice President
of the Fund and of the Manager. Prior to joining the Manager in April
1998, Mr. Albers was a portfolio manager at Guardian Investor Services
(from 1972), the investment management subsidiary of The Guardian Life
Insurance Company. Before joining the Manager in April 1998, Mr.
Zavanelli was President of Waterside Capital Management, a registered
investment advisor (from August 1995), and a financial research analyst
for Elder Research (from June 1997).

Advisory Fees. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the
Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate that declines on additional
assets as the Fund grows: 0.75% of the first $200 million of average
annual net assets of the Fund, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of
the next $200 million; 0.66% of the next $200 million; and 0.60% of
average annual net assets in excess of $800 million.

How to Buy Shares

HOW DO YOU BUY SHARES? You can buy shares several ways, as described below.
The Fund's Distributor, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., may appoint
servicing agents to accept purchase (and redemption) orders. The Distributor, in
its sole discretion, may reject any purchase order for the Fund's shares.

Buying Shares Through Your Dealer. You can buy shares through any dealer,
broker, or financial institution that has a sales agreement with the
Distributor. Your dealer will place your order with the Distributor on
your behalf.

Buying Shares Through the Distributor. Complete an OppenheimerFunds New
Account Application and return it with a check payable to
"OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc." Mail it to P.O. Box 5270, Denver,
Colorado 80217. If you don't list a dealer on the application, the
Distributor will act as your agent in buying the shares. However, we
recommend that you discuss your investment with a financial advisor
before you make a purchase to be sure that the Fund is appropriate for
you.

o Paying by Federal Funds Wire. Shares purchased through the Distributor
may be paid for by Federal Funds wire. The minimum investment is
$2,500. Before sending a wire, call the Distributor's Wire Department
at 1.800.525.7048 to notify the Distributor of the wire, and to receive
further instructions.

o Buying Shares Through OppenheimerFunds AccountLink. With AccountLink,
shares are purchased for your account by a transfer of money from your
bank account through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system. You can
provide those instructions automatically, under an Asset Builder Plan,
described below, or by telephone instructions using OppenheimerFunds
PhoneLink, also described below. Please refer to "AccountLink," below
for more details.

o Buying Shares Through Asset Builder Plans. You may purchase shares of
the Fund (and up to four other Oppenheimer funds) automatically each
month from your account at a bank or other financial institution under
an Asset Builder Plan with AccountLink. Details are in the Asset
Builder Application and the Statement of Additional Information.

HOW MUCH MUST YOU INVEST? You can buy Fund shares with a minimum initial
investment of $1,000 and make additional investments at any time with as little
as $25. There are reduced minimum investments under special investment plans.

o With Asset Builder Plans, 403(b) plans, Automatic Exchange Plans and
military allotment plans, you can make initial and subsequent
investments for as little as $25. You can make additional purchases of
at least $25 through AccountLink.

o Under retirement plans, such as IRAs, pension and profit-sharing plans
and 401(k) plans, you can start your account with as little as $250.
If your IRA is started under an Asset Builder Plan, the $25
minimum applies.Additional purchases may be as little as $25.

o The minimum investment requirement does not apply to reinvesting
dividends from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds (a list of them
appears in the Statement of Additional Information, or you can ask your
dealer or call the Transfer Agent), or reinvesting distributions from
unit investment trusts that have made arrangements with the
Distributor.

AT WHAT PRICE ARE SHARES SOLD? Shares are sold at their offering price, which is
the net asset value per share plus any initial sales charge that applies. The
offering price that applies to a purchase order is based on the next calculation
of the net asset value per share that is made after the Distributor receives the
purchase order at its offices in Colorado, or after any agent appointed by the
Distributor receives the order and sends it to the Distributor.

Net Asset Value. The net asset value of each class of shares is determined
as of the close of The New York Stock Exchange, on each day the
Exchange is open for trading (referred to in this Prospectus as a
"regular business day"). The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., New
York time, but may close earlier on some days. All references to time
in this Prospectus mean "New York time."

The net asset value per share 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. To determine net asset value, the
Fund's Board of Trustees has established procedures to value the Fund's
securities, in general based on market value. The Board has adopted
special procedures for valuing illiquid and restricted securities and
obligations for which market values cannot be readily obtained. Because
some foreign securities trade in markets and exchanges that operate on
holidays and weekends, the values of the Fund's foreign investments
might change significantly on days when investors cannot buy or redeem
Fund shares.

The Offering Price. To receive the offering price for a particular day, in
most cases the Distributor or its designated agent must receive your
order by the time of day The New York Stock Exchange closes that day.
If your order is received on a day when the Exchange is closed or after
it has closed, the order will receive the next offering price that is
determined after your order is received.

Buying Through a Dealer. If you buy shares through a dealer, your dealer must
receive the order by the close of The New York Stock Exchange and
transmit it to the Distributor so that it is received before the
Distributor's close of business on a regular business day (normally
5:00 P.M.) to receive that day's offering price. Otherwise, the order
will receive the next offering price that is determined.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund offers investors five
different classes of shares. The different classes of shares represent
investments in the same portfolio of securities, but the classes are subject to
different expenses and will likely have different share prices. When you buy
shares, be sure to specify the class of shares. If you do not choose a class,
your investment will be made in Class A shares.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class A Shares. If you buy Class A shares, you pay an initial sales charge
(on investments up to $1 million for regular accounts or $500,000 for
certain retirement plans.) The amount of that sales charge will vary
depending on the amount you invest. The sales charge rates are listed
in "How Can You Buy Class A Shares?" below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B Shares. If you buy Class B shares, you pay no sales charge at the
time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge.
If you sell your shares within six years of buying them, you will
normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge. That contingent
deferred sales charge varies depending on how long you own your shares,
as described in "How Can You Buy Class B Shares?" below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you pay no sales charge at the
time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge.
If you sell your shares within 12 months of buying them, you will
normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1%, as described in
"How Can You Buy Class C Shares?" below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class N Shares. Class N shares are offered only through retirement plans that
purchase $500,000 or more of Class N shares of one or more Oppenheimer
funds or that have assets of $500,000 or more or 100 or more eligible
plan participants. Non-retirement plan investors cannot buy Class N
shares directly.

Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional
investors that have special agreements with the Distributor.

WHICH CLASS OF SHARES SHOULD YOU CHOOSE? Once you decide that the Fund is an
appropriate investment for you, the decision as to which class of shares is best
suited to your needs depends on a number of factors that you should discuss with
your financial advisor. Some factors to consider are how much you plan to invest
and how long you plan to hold your investment. If your goals and objectives
change over time and you plan to purchase additional shares, you should
re-evaluate those factors to see if you should consider another class of shares.
The Fund's operating costs that apply to a class of shares and the effect of the
different types of sales charges on your investment will vary your investment
results over time.

The discussion below is not intended to be investment advice or a
recommendation, because each investor's financial considerations are different.
The discussion below assumes that you will purchase only one class of shares and
not a combination of shares of different classes. Of course, these examples are
based on approximations of the effects of current sales charges and expenses
projected over time, and do not detail all of the considerations in selecting a
class of shares. You should analyze your options carefully with your financial
advisor before making that choice.

How Long Do You Expect to Hold Your Investment? While future financial
needs cannot be predicted with certainty, knowing how long you expect
to hold your investment will assist you in selecting the appropriate
class of shares. Because of the effect of class-based expenses, your
choice will also depend on how much you plan to invest. For example,
the reduced sales charges available for larger purchases of Class A
shares may, over time, offset the effect of paying an initial sales
charge on your investment, compared to the effect over time of higher
class-based expenses on shares of Class B or Class C.

o Investing for the Shorter Term. While the Fund is meant to be a
long-term investment, if you have a relatively short-term investment
horizon (that is, you plan to hold your shares for not more than six
years), you should probably consider purchasing Class A or Class C
shares rather than Class B shares. That is because of the effect of the
Class B contingent deferred sales charge if you redeem within six
years, as well as the effect of the Class B asset-based sales charge on
the investment return for that class in the short-term. Class C shares
might be the appropriate choice (especially for investments of less
than $100,000), because there is no initial sales charge on Class C
shares, and the contingent deferred sales charge does not apply to
amounts you sell after holding them one year.

However, if you plan to invest more than $100,000 for the shorter term,
then as your investment horizon increases toward six years, Class C
shares might not be as advantageous as Class A shares. That is because
the annual asset-based sales charge on Class C shares will have a
greater impact on your account over the longer term than the reduced
front-end sales charge available for larger purchases of Class A
shares.

And for investors who invest $1 million or more, in most cases Class A
shares will be the most advantageous choice, no matter how long you
intend to hold your shares. For that reason, the Distributor normally
will not accept purchase orders of $500,000 or more of Class B shares
or $1 million or more of Class C shares from a single investor.

o Investing for the Longer Term. If you are investing less than $100,000
for the longer-term, for example for retirement, and do not expect to
need access to your money for seven years or more, Class B shares may
be appropriate.

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

Additionally, the dividends payable to Class B and Class C shareholders
will be reduced by the additional expenses borne by those classes that
are not borne by Class A or Class Y shares, such as the Class B and
Class C asset-based sales charge described below and in the Statement
of Additional Information. Share certificates are not available for
Class B and Class C shares, and if you are considering using your
shares as collateral for a loan, that may be a factor to consider.

How Does It Affect Payments to My Broker? A salesperson, such as a broker,
may receive different compensation for selling one class of shares than
for selling another class. It is important to remember that Class B and
Class C contingent deferred sales charges and asset-based sales charges
have the same purpose as the front-end sales charge on sales of Class A
shares: to compensate the Distributor for commissions and expenses it
pays to dealers and financial institutions for selling shares. The
Distributor may pay additional compensation from its own resources to
securities dealers or financial institutions based upon the value of
shares of the Fund owned by the dealer or financial institution for its
own account or for its customers.

SPECIAL SALES CHARGE ARRANGEMENTS AND WAIVERS. Appendix C to the Statement of
Additional Information details the conditions for the waiver of sales
charges that apply in certain cases, and the special sales charge rates
that apply to purchases of shares of the Fund by certain groups, or
under specified retirement plan arrangements or in other special types
of transactions. To receive a waiver or special sales charge rate, you
must advise the Distributor when purchasing shares or the Transfer
Agent when redeeming shares that the special condition apply.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS A SHARES? Class A shares are sold at their offering price,
which is normally net asset value plus an initial sales charge. However, in some
cases, described below, purchases are not subject to an initial sales charge,
and the offering price will be the net asset value. In other cases, reduced
sales charges may be available, as described below or in the Statement of
Additional Information. Out of the amount you invest, the Fund receives the net
asset value to invest for your account.

The sales charge varies depending on the amount of your purchase. A
portion of the sales charge may be retained by the Distributor or allocated to
your dealer as commission. The Distributor reserves the right to reallow the
entire commission to dealers. The current sales charge rates and commissions
paid to dealers and brokers are as follows:

Front-End Sales Front-End Sales

Charge As a Charge As a Commission As
Percentage of Percentage of Net Percentage of

Amount of Purchase Offering Price Amount Invested Offering Price

</TABLE>

Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. There is no initial sales charge on
purchases of Class A shares of any one or more of the Oppenheimer funds
aggregating $1 million or more or for certain purchases by particular
types of retirement plans described in Appendix C to the Statement of
Additional Information. The Distributor pays dealers of record
commissions in an amount equal to 1.0% of purchases of $1 million or
more other than by those retirement accounts. For those retirement plan
accounts, the commission is 1.0% of the first $2.5 million, plus 0.50%
of the next $2.5 million, plus 0.25% of purchases over $5 million,
calculated on a calendar year basis. In either case, the commission
will be paid only on purchases that were not previously subject to a
front-end sales charge and dealer commission.1 That commission will not
be paid on purchases of shares in amounts of $1 million or more
(including any right of accumulation) by a retirement plan that pays
for the purchase with the redemption of Class C shares of one or more
Oppenheimer funds held by the plan for more than one year.

If you redeem any of those shares within an 18 month "holding period"
measured from the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a
contingent deferred sales charge (called the "Class A contingent
deferred sales charge") may be deducted from the redemption proceeds.
That sales charge will be equal to 1.0% of the lesser of (1) the
aggregate net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of
redemption (excluding shares purchased by reinvestment of dividends or
capital gain distributions) or (2) the original net asset value of the
redeemed shares. The Class A contingent deferred sales charge will not
exceed the aggregate amount of the commissions the Distributor paid to
your dealer on all purchases of Class A shares of all Oppenheimer funds
you made that were subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales
charge.

Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges? You may be eligible to buy Class A
shares at reduced sales charge rates under the Fund's "Right of
Accumulation" or a Letter of Intent, as described in "Reduced Sales
Charges" in the Statement of Additional Information.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS B SHARES? Class B shares are sold at net asset value per
share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class B shares are redeemed
within 6 years of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a contingent
deferred sales charge will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. The Class B
contingent deferred sales charge is paid to compensate the Distributor for its
expenses of providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection
with the sale of Class B shares.

To determine whether the contingent deferred sales charge applies to a
redemption, the Fund redeems shares in the following order:

1. shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions,
2. shares held for over 6 years, and
3. shares held the longest during the 6-year period.

The amount of the contingent deferred sales charge will depend on the
number of years since you invested and the dollar amount being redeemed,
according to the following schedule for the Class B contingent deferred sales
charge holding period:

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on

Years Since Beginning of Month in Which Redemptions in That Year
Purchase Order was Accepted (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%
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
6 and following None
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

In the table, a "year" is a 12-month period. In applying the contingent deferred
sales charge, all purchases are considered to have been made on the first
regular business day of the month in which the purchase was made.

AutomaticConversion of Class B Shares. Class B shares automatically convert to
Class A shares 72 months after you purchase them. This conversion
feature relieves Class B shareholders of the asset-based sales charge
that applies to Class B shares under the Class B Distribution and
Service Plan, described below. The conversion is based on the relative
net asset value of the two classes, and no sales load or other charge
is imposed. When any Class B shares you hold convert, a prorated
portion of your Class B shares that were acquired by the reinvesting of
dividends and distributions on the converted shares will also convert
to Class A shares. For further information on the conversion feature
and its tax implications, see "Class B Conversion" in the Statement of
Additional Information.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS C SHARES? Class C shares are sold at net asset value per
share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class C shares are redeemed
within a holding period of 12 months form the end of the calendar month of their
purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be deducted from the
redemption proceeds. The Class C contingent deferred sales charge is paid to
compensate the Distributor for its expenses of providing distribution-related
services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class C shares.

To determine whether the contingent deferred sales charge applies to a
redemption, the Fund redeems shares in the following order:
1. shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions,
2. shares held for over 12 months, and
3. shares held the longest during the 12-month period.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS N SHARES? Class N shares are offered only through
retirement plans that purchase $500,000 or more of Class N shares of one or more
Oppenheimer funds or that have assets of $500,000 or more or 100 or more
eligible participants. Non-retirement plan investors cannot buy Class N shares
directly.

Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges in plan
participant accounts including a 1% contingent deferred sales charge if you
redeem your shares within 18 months after the retirement plan first purchased
shares of the Fund or if you redeem your shares in connection with the
termination of the plan or the elimination of Class N shares of all Oppenheimer
funds within 18 months after the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any
Oppenheimer fund. The procedures for buying, selling, exchanging and
transferring the Fund's other classes of shares (other than the time those
orders must be received by the Distributor or Transfer Agent in Denver) and the
special account features applicable to purchasers of those other classes of
described elsewhere in this prospectus do not apply to Class N shares.
Instructions for purchasing redeeming, exchanging or transferring Class N shares
must be submitted by the plan, not by plan participants for whose benefit the
shares are held.

WHO CAN BUY CLASS Y SHARES? Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share
without sales charge directly to certain institutional investors that have
special agreements with the Distributor for this purpose. They may include
insurance companies, registered investment companies and employee benefit plans.
For example, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, an affiliate of the
Manager, may purchase Class Y shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds (as
well as Class Y shares of funds advised by MassMutual) for asset allocation
programs, investment companies or separate investment accounts it sponsors and
offers to its customers. Individual investors cannot buy Class Y shares
directly.

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 and the
special account features available to purchasers of those other classes of
shares described elsewhere in this Prospectus do not apply to Class Y shares.
Instructions for purchasing, redeeming, exchanging or transferring Class Y
shares must be submitted by the institutional investor, not by its customers for
whose benefit the shares are held.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12B-1) PLANS. Because these fees are paid out of the
Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost
of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.

Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class
A shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs
incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares.
Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the
average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The
Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers,
banks and other financial institutions quarterly for providing personal
service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class
A shares.

Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares. The Fund
has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and
Class N shares to pay the Distributor for its services and costs in
distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares and servicing
accounts. Under the plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual
asset-based sales charge of 0.75% per year on Class B and on Class C
shares and the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales
charge of 0.25% per year on Class N shares. The Distributor also
receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan.

The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and
Class C expenses by up to 1.00% and increase Class N expenses by up to
0.50% of the net assets per year of the respective class. Because these
fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time
these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you
more than other types of sales charges.

The Distributor uses the service fees to compensate dealers for
providing personal services for accounts that hold Class B, Class C or
Class N shares. The Distributor pays the 0.25% service fees to dealers
in advance for the first year after the shares were sold by the dealer.
After the shares have been held for a year, the Distributor pays the
service fees to dealers on a quarterly basis.

The Distributor currently pays a sales commission or 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 sales of
Class B shares is therefore 4.00% of the purchase price. The
Distributor retains the Class B asset-based sales charge.

The Distributor currently pays sales commissions of 0.75% of the
purchase price of Class C shares to dealers from its own resources at
the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total
amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of
Class C shares is therefore 1.00% of the purchase price. The
Distributor pays the asset-based sales charge as an ongoing commission
to the dealer on Class C shares that have been outstanding for a year
or more.

The Distributor currently pays sales commissions of 0.75% of the
purchase price of Class N shares to dealers from its own resources at
the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee the total
amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of
Class N shares is therefore 1.00% of the purchase price. The
Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class N shares.

limits on telephone redemption proceeds sent to a bank account designated
when you establish AccountLink. Normally the ACH transfer to your bank is
initiated on the business day after the redemption. You do not receive
dividends on the proceeds of the shares you redeemed while they are waiting
to be transferred.

If you have requested Federal Funds wire privileges for your account, the
wire of the redemption proceeds will normally be transmitted on the next
bank business day after the shares are redeemed. There is a possibility
that the wire may be delayed up to seven days to enable the Fund to sell
securities to pay the redemption proceeds. No dividends are accrued or paid
on the proceeds of shares that have been redeemed and are awaiting
transmission by wire.

CAN YOU SELL SHARES THROUGH YOUR DEALER? The Distributor has made arrangements
to repurchase Fund shares from dealers and brokers on behalf of their customers.
Brokers or dealers may charge for that service. If your shares are held in the
name of your dealer, you must redeem them through your dealer.

HOW CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES AFFECT REDEMPTIONS. If you purchase shares
subject to a Class A, Class B or Class C contingent deferred sales charge and
redeem any of those shares during the applicable holding period for the class of
shares, the contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from the
redemption proceeds, unless you are eligible for a waiver of that sales charge
based on the categories listed in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional
Information and you advise the Transfer Agent of your eligibility for the waiver
when you place your redemption request. With respect to Class N shares, if you
redeem your shares within 18 calendar months of the end of the calendar month in
which the retirement plan first purchased shares of the Fund or the retirement
plan eliminates the Fund as an investment option within 18 calendar months of
the end of the calendar month in which the Fund was selected, a 1% contingent
deferred sales charge will be imposed on the plan.

A contingent deferred sales charge will be based on the lesser of the
net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption or the original
net asset value. A contingent deferred sales charge is not imposed on: o the
amount of your account value represented by an increase in net asset value over
the initial purchase price, o shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends
or capital gains distributions, or o shares redeemed in the special
circumstances described in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional
Information.

To determine whether a contingent deferred sales charge applies to a
redemption, the Fund redeems shares in the following order: (1) shares acquired
by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, (2) shares held
for the holding period that applies to that class, and (3) shares held the
longest during the holding period.

Contingent deferred sales charges are not charged when you exchange
shares of the Fund for shares of other Oppenheimer funds. However, if you
exchange them within the applicable contingent deferred sales change holding
period, the holding period will carry over to the fund whose shares you acquire.
Similarly, if you acquire shares of this Fund by exchanging shares of another
Oppenheimer fund that are still subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
holding period, that holding period will carry over to this Fund.

How to Exchange Shares

Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of certain Oppenheimer funds at
net asset value per share at the time of exchange, without sales charge. Shares
of the Fund can be purchased by exchange of shares of other Oppenheimer funds on
the same basis. To exchange shares, you must meet several conditions:

o Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in
your state of residence. o The prospectus of both funds must offer the
exchange privilege. o You must hold the shares you buy when you establish
your account for at least 7 days before you can exchange them. After the

account is open 7 days, you can exchange shares every regular business
day.

o You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the fund whose shares
you purchase by exchange. o Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain
and read its prospectus.

Shares of a particular class of the Fund may be exchanged only for
shares of the same class in the other Oppenheimer funds. For example, you can
exchange Class A shares of this Fund only for Class A shares of another fund. In
some cases, sales charges may be imposed on exchange transactions. For tax
purposes, exchanges of shares involve a sale of the shares of the fund you own
and a purchase of the shares of the other fund, which may result in a capital
gain or loss. Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in the Statement of
Additional Information for more details.

You can find a list of Oppenheimer funds currently available for
exchanges in the Statement of Additional Information or obtain one by calling a
service representative at 1.800.525.7048. That list can change from time to
time.

HOW DO YOU SUBMIT EXCHANGE REQUESTS?
Exchanges may be requested in writing or by telephone:

Written Exchange Requests. Submit an OppenheimerFunds Exchange Request form,
signed by all owners of the account. Send it to the Transfer Agent at
the address on the back cover. Exchanges of shares held under
certificates cannot be processed unless the Transfer Agent receives the
certificate with the request.

TelephoneExchange Requests. Telephone exchange requests may be made either by
calling a service representative at 1.800.852.8457, or by using
PhoneLink for automated exchanges by calling 1.800.533.3310. Telephone
exchanges may be made only between accounts that are registered with
the same name(s) and address. Shares held under certificates may not be
exchanged by telephone.

ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON EXCHANGES?
There are certain exchange policies you should be aware of:

o Shares are normally redeemed from one fund and purchased from the other
fund in the exchange transaction on the same regular business day on
which the Transfer Agent receives an exchange request that conforms to
the policies described above. It must be received by the close of The
New York Stock Exchange that day, which is normally 4:00 P.M. but may
be earlier on some days. However, either fund may delay the purchase of
shares of the fund you are exchanging into up to seven days if it
determines it would be disadvantaged by a same-day exchange. For
example, the receipt of multiple exchange request from a "market timer"
might require the Fund to sell securities at a disadvantageous time
and/or price.

o Because excessive trading can hurt fund performance and harm
shareholders, the Fund reserves the right to refuse any exchange
request that it believes will disadvantage it, or to refuse multiple
exchange requests submitted by a shareholder or dealer.

o The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any
time. The Fund will provide you notice whenever it is required to do
so, by applicable law, but it may impose changes at any time for
emergency purposes.

o If the Transfer Agent cannot exchange all the shares you request
because of a restriction cited above, only the shares eligible for
exchange will be exchanged.

Shareholder Account Rules and Policies

More information about the Fund's policies and procedures for buying, selling,
and exchanging shares is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

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

Telephonetransaction privileges for purchases, redemptions or exchanges may be
modified, suspended or terminated by the Fund at any time. If an
account has more than one owner, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may
rely on the instructions of any one owner. Telephone privileges apply
to each owner of the account and the dealer representative of record
for the account unless the Transfer Agent receives cancellation
instructions from an owner of the account.

The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data
concerning transactions and has adopted other procedures to confirm
that telephone instructions are genuine, by requiring callers to
provide tax identification numbers and other account data or by using
PINs, and by confirming such transactions in writing. The Transfer
Agent and the Fund will not be liable for losses or expenses arising
out of telephone instructions reasonably believed to be genuine and
consistent with adopted procedures.

Redemption or transfer requests will not be honored until the Transfer Agent
receives all required documents in proper form. From time to time, the
Transfer Agent in its discretion may waive certain of the requirements
for redemptions stated in this Prospectus.

Dealers that can perform account transactions for their clients by
participating in NETWORKING through the National Securities Clearing
Corporation are responsible for obtaining their clients' permission to
perform those transactions, and are responsible to their clients who
are shareholders of the Fund if the dealer performs any transaction
erroneously or improperly.

The redemption price for shares will vary from day to day because the value
of the securities in the Fund's portfolio fluctuates. The redemption
price, which is the net asset value per share, will normally differ for
each class of shares. The redemption value of your shares may be more
or less than their original cost.

Payment for redeemed shares ordinarily is made in cash. It is forwarded by
check or through AccountLink or by Federal Funds wire (as elected by
the shareholder) within seven days after the Transfer Agent receives
redemption instructions in proper form. However, under unusual
circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
payment may be delayed or suspended. For accounts registered in the
name of a broker-dealer, payment will normally be forwarded within
three business days after redemption.

The Transfer Agent may delay forwarding a check or processing a payment via
AccountLink for recently purchased shares, but only until the purchase payment
has cleared. That delay may be as much as 10 days from the date the shares were
purchased. That delay may be avoided if you purchase shares by Federal Funds
wire or certified check, or arrange with your bank to provide telephone or
written assurance to the Transfer Agent that your purchase payment has cleared.

Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Fund if the
account value has fallen below $500 for reasons other than the fact that the
market value of shares has dropped. In some cases involuntary redemptions may be
made to repay the Distributor for losses from the cancellation of share purchase
orders.

Shares may be "redeemed in kind" under unusual circumstances (such as a
lack of liquidity in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions). This means that
the redemption proceeds will be paid with liquid securities from the Fund's
portfolio.

"Backup Withholding" of Federal income tax may be applied against taxable
dividends, distributions and redemption proceeds (including exchanges)
if you fail to furnish the Fund your correct, certified Social Security
or Employer Identification Number when you sign your application, or if
you under-report your income to the Internal Revenue Service.

To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Fund
will mail only one copy of each prospectus, annual and semi-annual
report to shareholders having the same last name and address on the
Fund's records. The consolidation of these mailings, called
householding, benefits the Fund through reduced mailing expense.

If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call
the Transfer Agent at 1.800.525.7048. You may also notify the Transfer
Agent in writing. Individual copies of prospectuses and reports will be
sent to you within 30 days after the Transfer Agent receives your
request to stop householding.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS. The Fund intends to declare dividends separately for each class of
shares from net investment income annually and to pay dividends to shareholders
in December on a date selected by the Board of Trustees. Dividends and
distributions paid on Class A and Class Y shares will generally be higher than
dividends for Class B, Class C and Class N shares, which normally have higher
expenses than Class A and Class Y. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and
cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or distributions.

CAPITAL GAINS. The Fund may realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio
securities. If it does, it may make distributions out of any net short-term or
long-term capital gains in December of each year. The Fund may make supplemental
distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal
year. There can be no assurance that the Fund will pay any capital gains
distributions in a particular year.

WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE FOR RECEIVING DISTRIBUTIONS? When you open your
account, specify on your application how you want to receive your dividends and
distributions. You have four options:

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

Reinvest Dividend or Capital Gains. You can elect to reinvest one type of
distribution (dividends, short-term capital gains or long-term capital
gains distributions) in the Fund while receiving the other types of
distributions by check or having them sent to your bank account through
AccountLink.

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

Reinvest Your Distributions in Another OppenheimerFunds Account. You can
reinvest all distributions in the same class of shares of another
OppenheimerFunds account you have established.

TAXES. If your shares are not held in a tax-deferred retirement account, you
should be aware of the following tax implications of investing in the Fund.
Distributions are subject to federal income tax and may be subject to state or
local taxes. Dividends paid from short-term capital gains and net investment
income are taxable as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains are taxable as
long-term capital gains when distributed to shareholders. It does not matter how
long you have held your shares. Whether you reinvest your distributions in
additional shares or take them in cash, the tax treatment is the same.

Every year the Fund will send you and the IRS a statement showing the
amount of any taxable distribution you received in the previous year. Any
long-term capital gains will be separately identified in the tax information the
Fund sends you after the end of the calendar year.

Avoid "Buying a Distribution." If you buy shares on or just before the
ex-dividend date or just before the Fund declares a capital gain
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 price
fluctuates, you may have a capital gain or loss when you sell or
exchange your shares. A capital gain or loss is the difference between
the price you paid for the shares and the price you received when you
sold them. Any capital gain is subject to capital gains tax.

Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by the Fund
may be considered a non-taxable return of capital to shareholders. If
that occurs, it will be identified in notices to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain federal income tax
information about your investment. You should consult with your tax adviser
about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's
financial performance over the fiscal year. 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 (assuring reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This
information has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Fund's independent
auditors, whose report along with the Fund's financial statements, is included
in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available on request.

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

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

The Fund's Investment Policies. The composition of the Fund's portfolio and the
techniques and strategies that the Fund's Manager may use in selecting portfolio
securities will vary over time. The Fund is not required to use all of the
investment techniques and strategies described below at all times in seeking its
goal. It may use some of the special investment techniques and strategies at
some times or not at all.

|X| Investments in Small-Cap Equity Securities. The Fund focuses its
investments in equity securities of small cap growth and/or undervalued
companies. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, rights and
warrants, and securities convertible into common stock. The Fund's investments
primarily include stocks of companies having a market capitalization of up to
$2.5 billion.

The Fund can also hold a portion of its assets in securities of issuers
having a larger market capitalization. Although under normal market conditions,
the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities
having small market capitalization, at times, in the Manager's view, the market
may favor or disfavor securities of issuers of a particular capitalization
range. Therefore the Fund may focus its equity investments in securities of one
or more capitalization ranges, based upon the Manager's judgment of where the
best market opportunities are to seek the Fund's objective.

Current income is not a criterion used to select portfolio securities.
However, certain debt securities may be selected for the Fund's portfolio for
defensive purposes (including debt securities that the Manager believes may
offer some opportunities for capital appreciation when stocks are disfavored).
Other debt securities may be selected because they are convertible into common
stock, as discussed below in "Convertible Securities."

|_| Over-the-Counter Securities. Securities of small
capitalization issuers may be traded on securities exchanges or in the
over-the-counter market. The over-the-counter markets, both in the U.S. and
abroad, may have less liquidity than securities exchanges. That can affect the
price the Fund is able to obtain when it wants to sell a security.

Small-cap companies may offer greater opportunities for capital
appreciation than securities of large, more established companies. However,
these securities also involve greater risks than securities of larger companies.
Securities of small capitalization issuers may be subject to greater price
volatility in general than securities of large-cap and mid-cap companies.
Therefore, to the degree that the Fund has investments in smaller capitalization
companies at times of market volatility, the Fund's share price may fluctuate
more. As noted below, the Fund limits its investments in unseasoned small cap
issuers.

|_| Convertible Securities. While some convertible securities
are a form of debt security, in many cases their conversion feature (allowing
conversion into equity securities) causes them to be regarded by the Manager
more as "equity equivalents." As a result, the rating assigned to the security
has less impact on the Manager's investment decision with respect to convertible
debt securities than in the case of non-convertible fixed debt income
securities. To determine whether convertible securities should be regarded as
"equity equivalents," the Manager examines the following factors: (1) whether,
at the option of the investor, the convertible security can be exchanged for a
fixed number of shares of common

stock of the issuer,
(2) whether the issuer of the convertible securities has restated its
earnings per share of common stock on a fully diluted basis
(considering the effect of conversion of the convertible
securities), and

(3) the extent to which the convertible security may be a defensive
"equity substitute," providing the ability to participate in any
appreciation in the price of the issuer's common stock.

Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation's
capital structure and therefore are subject to less risk than common stock in
case of the issuer's bankruptcy or liquidation.

The value of a convertible security is a function of its "investment
value" and its "conversion value." If the investment value exceeds the
conversion value, the security will behave more like a debt security, and the
security's price will likely increase when interest rates fall and decrease when
interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds the investment value, the
security will behave more like an equity security: it will likely sell at a
premium over its conversion value, and its price will tend to fluctuate directly
with the price of the underlying security.

The Fund has no limitations on the ratings of the convertible debt
securities that it can buy. They can include securities that are investment
grade or below investment grade. Securities that are below investment grade
(whether they are rated by a nationally-recognized rating organization or are
unrated securities that the Manager deems to be below investment grade) have
greater risks of default than investment grade securities. Additionally, debt
securities are subject to interest rate risk. Their values tend to fall when
interest rates rise. The Fund does not anticipate that it will invest a
substantial amount of its assets in these types of securities.

|_| Rights and Warrants. The Fund can invest up to 5% of its
total assets in warrants or rights. That 5% limit does not apply to warrants and
rights the Fund has acquired as part of units of securities or that are attached
to other securities that the Fund buys. Warrants basically are options to
purchase equity securities at specific prices valid for a specific period of
time. Their prices do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the
underlying securities. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a short
duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights
and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with
respect to the assets of the issuer.

|_| Preferred Stock. Preferred stock, unlike common stock, has
a stated dividend rate payable from the corporation's earnings. Preferred stock
dividends may be cumulative or non-cumulative. "Cumulative" dividend provisions
require all or a portion of prior unpaid dividends to be paid before dividends
can be paid on the issuer's common stock. Preferred stock may be "participating"
stock, which means that it may be entitled to a dividend exceeding the stated
dividend in certain cases.

If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be
less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. Preferred
stock may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as provisions allowing
calls or redemptions prior to maturity, which can also have a negative impact on
prices when interest rates decline. Preferred stock generally has a preference
over common stock on the distribution of a corporation's assets in the event of
liquidation of the corporation. The rights of preferred stock on distribution of
a corporation's assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate
to the rights associated with a corporation's debt securities.

|X| Foreign Securities. Although the Fund intends to focus its
investments in U.S. securities, it can purchase equity securities issued or
guaranteed by foreign companies. "Foreign securities" include equity and debt
securities of companies organized under the laws of countries other than the
United States. They may be traded on foreign securities exchanges or in the
foreign over-the-counter markets.

Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American
Depository Receipts or that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange or traded
in the U.S. over-the-counter markets are not considered "foreign securities" for
the purpose of the Fund's investment allocations. That is because they are not
subject to many of the special considerations and risks, discussed below, that
apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.

Investing in foreign securities offers potential benefits not available
from investing solely in securities of domestic issuers. They include the
opportunity to invest in foreign issuers that appear to offer growth potential,
or in foreign countries with economic policies or business cycles different from
those of the U.S., or to reduce fluctuations in portfolio value by taking
advantage of foreign stock markets that do not move in a manner parallel to U.S.
markets. The Fund will hold foreign currency only in connection with the
purchase or sale of foreign securities.

|_| Risks of Foreign Investing. Investments in foreign
securities may offer special opportunities for investing but also present
special additional risks and considerations not typically associated with
investments in domestic securities. Some of these additional risks are:

o reduction of income by foreign taxes;
o fluctuation in value of foreign investments due to changes in currency rates
or currency control regulations (for example,currency blockage);
o transaction charges for currency exchange;
o lack of public information about foreign issuers;
o lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards in
foreign countries comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers;
o less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;
o greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the U.S.;
o less governmental regulation of foreign issuers, stock exchanges and brokers
than in the U.S.;
o greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;
o higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;
o increased risks of delays in settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of
certificates for portfolio securities;
o possibilities in some countries of expropriation, confiscatory taxation,
political,financial or social instability or adverse diplomatic developments
; and
o unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.

In the past, U.S. government policies have discouraged certain investments
abroad by U.S. investors, through taxation or other restrictions, and it is
possible that such restrictions could be re-imposed.

|_| Special Risks of Emerging Markets. Emerging and developing
markets abroad may also offer special opportunities for growth investing but
have greater risks than more developed foreign markets, such as those in Europe,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. There may be even less liquidity in
their securities markets, and settlements of purchases and sales of securities
may be subject to additional delays. They are subject to greater risks of
limitations on the repatriation of income and profits because of currency
restrictions imposed by local governments. Those countries may also be subject
to the risk of greater political and economic instability, which can greatly
affect the volatility of prices of securities in those countries.

|_| Risks of Conversion to Euro. On January 1, 1999, eleven
countries in the European Union adopted the euro as their official currency.
However, their current currencies (for example, the franc, the mark, and the
lira) will also continue in use until January 1, 2002. After that date, it is
expected that only the euro will be used in those countries. A common currency
is expected to confer some benefits in those markets, by consolidating the
government debt market for those countries and reducing some currency risks and
costs. But the conversion to the new currency will affect the Fund operationally
and also has potential risks, some of which are listed below. Among other
things, the conversion will affect:

o issuers in which the Fund invests, because of changes in
the competitive environment from a consolidated currency
market and greater operational costs from converting to
the new currency. This might depress securities values.

o vendors the Fund depends on to carry out its business,
such as its custodian bank (which holds the foreign
securities the Fund buys), the Manager (which must price
the Fund's investments to deal with the conversion to the
euro) and brokers, foreign markets and securities
depositories. If they are not prepared, there could be
delays in settlements and additional costs to the Fund.

o exchange contracts and derivatives that are outstanding
during the transition to the euro. The lack of currency
rate calculations between the affected currencies and the
need to update the Fund's contracts could pose extra costs
to the Fund.

The Manager has upgraded (at its expense) its computer and bookkeeping
systems to deal with the conversion. The Fund's custodian bank has advised the
Manager of its plans to deal with the conversion, including how it will update
its record keeping systems and handle the redenomination of outstanding foreign
debt. The Fund's portfolio manager will also monitor the effects of the
conversion on the issuers in which the Fund invests. The possible effect of
these factors on the Fund's investments cannot be determined with certainty at
this time, but they may reduce the value of some of the Fund's holdings and
increase its operational costs.

|X| Portfolio Turnover. "Portfolio turnover" describes the rate at
which the Fund traded its portfolio securities during its last fiscal year. For
example, if a fund sold all of its securities during the year, its portfolio
turnover rate would have been 100% annually. The Fund's portfolio turnover rate
will fluctuate from year to year, and the Fund does not expect to have a
portfolio turnover rate of more than 150% annually.

Increased portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and transaction costs
for the Fund, which may reduce its overall performance. Additionally, the
realization of capital gains from selling portfolio securities may result in
distributions of taxable long-term capital gains to shareholders, since the Fund
will normally distribute all of its capital gains realized each year, to avoid
excise taxes under the Internal Revenue Code.

Other Investment Techniques and Strategies. In seeking its objective, the Fund
from time to time can employ the types of investment strategies and investments
described below. It is not required to use all of these strategies at all times,
and at times may not use them.

|X| Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund can invest in
securities of small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in
operation for less than three years, including the operations of any
predecessors. Securities of these companies may be subject to volatility in
their prices. They might have a limited trading market, which could adversely
affect the Fund's ability to dispose of them and could reduce the price the Fund
might be able to obtain for them. Other investors that own a security issued by
a small, unseasoned issuer for which there is limited liquidity might trade the
security when the Fund is attempting to dispose of its holdings of that
security. In that case the Fund might receive a lower price for its holdings
than might otherwise be obtained. The Fund currently does not intend to invest
more than 20% of its net assets in those securities.

|X| Repurchase Agreements. The Fund can acquire securities subject to
repurchase agreements. It might do so for liquidity purposes to meet anticipated
redemptions of Fund shares, or pending the investment of the proceeds from sales
of Fund shares, or pending the settlement of portfolio securities transactions,
or for temporary defensive purposes, as described below.

In a repurchase transaction, the Fund buys a security from, and
simultaneously resells it to, an approved vendor for delivery on an agreed-upon
future date. The resale price exceeds the purchase price by an amount that
reflects an agreed-upon interest rate effective for the period during which the
repurchase agreement is in effect. Approved vendors include U.S. commercial
banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks, or broker-dealers that have been
designated as primary dealers in government securities. They must meet credit
requirements set by the Fund's Board of Trustees from time to time.

The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery
pursuant to the resale typically occurs within one to five days of the purchase.
Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are subject to the
Fund's limits on holding illiquid investments. The Fund will not enter into a
repurchase agreement that causes more than 10% of its net assets to be subject
to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days (the Board may
increase that limit to 15%). There is no limit on the amount of the Fund's net
assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements having maturities of seven
days or less.

Repurchase agreements, considered "loans" under the Investment Company
Act, are collateralized by the underlying security. The Fund's repurchase
agreements require that at all times while the repurchase agreement is in
effect, the value of the collateral must equal or exceed the repurchase price to
fully collateralize the repayment obligation. However, if the vendor fails to
pay the resale price on the delivery date, the Fund may incur costs in disposing
of the collateral and may experience losses if there is any delay in its ability
to do so. The Manager will monitor the vendor's creditworthiness to confirm that
the vendor is financially sound and will continuously monitor the collateral's
value.

|X| Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Under the policies and
procedures established by the Fund's Board of Trustees, the Manager determines
the liquidity of certain of the Fund's investments. To enable the Fund to sell
its holdings of a restricted security not registered under the Securities Act of
1933, the Fund may have to cause those securities to be registered. The expenses
of registering restricted securities may be negotiated by the Fund with the
issuer at the time the Fund buys the securities. When the Fund must arrange
registration because the Fund wishes to sell the security, a considerable period
may elapse between the time the decision is made to sell the security and the
time the security is registered so that the Fund could sell it. The Fund would
bear the risks of any downward price fluctuation during that period.

The Fund can also acquire restricted securities through private
placements. Those securities have contractual restrictions on their public
resale. Those restrictions might limit the Fund's ability to dispose of the
securities and might lower the amount the Fund could realize upon the sale.

The Fund has limitations that apply to purchases of restricted
securities, as stated in the Prospectus. Those percentage restrictions do not
limit purchases of restricted securities that are eligible for sale to qualified
institutional purchasers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, if those
securities have been determined to be liquid by the Manager under Board-approved
guidelines. Those guidelines take into account the trading activity for such
securities and the availability of reliable pricing information, among other
factors. If there is a lack of trading interest in a particular Rule 144A
security, the Fund's holdings of that security may be considered to be illiquid.

Illiquid securities include repurchase agreements maturing in more than
seven days and participation interests that do not have puts exercisable within
seven days.

|X| Loans of Portfolio Securities. To raise cash for liquidity
purposes, the Fund can lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and
other types of financial institutions approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
These loans are limited to not more than 10% of the value of the Fund's total
assets. The Fund currently does not intend to engage in loans of securities, but
if it does so, such loans will not likely exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets.

There are some risks in connection with securities lending. The Fund
might experience a delay in receiving additional collateral to secure a loan, or
a delay in recovery of the loaned securities if the borrower defaults. The Fund
must receive collateral for a loan. Under current applicable regulatory
requirements (which are subject to change), on each business day the loan
collateral must be at least equal to the value of the loaned securities. It must
consist of cash, bank letters of credit, securities of the U.S. government or
its agencies or instrumentalities, or other cash equivalents in which the Fund
is permitted to invest. To be acceptable as collateral, letters of credit must
obligate a bank to pay amounts demanded by the Fund if the demand meets the
terms of the letter. The terms of the letter of credit and the issuing bank both
must be satisfactory to the Fund.

When it lends securities, the Fund receives amounts equal to the
dividends or interest on loaned securities. It also receives one or more of (a)
negotiated loan fees, (b) interest on securities used as collateral, and (c)
interest on any short-term debt securities purchased with such loan collateral.
Either type of interest may be shared with the borrower. The Fund may also pay
reasonable finder's, custodian and administrative fees in connection with these
loans. The terms of the Fund's loans must meet applicable tests under the
Internal Revenue Code and must permit the Fund to reacquire loaned securities on
five days' notice or in time to vote on any important matter.

|X| Borrowing for Leverage. The Fund has the ability to borrow from
banks on an unsecured basis to invest the borrowed funds in portfolio
securities. This speculative technique is known as "leverage." The Fund may
borrow only from banks. Under current regulatory requirements, borrowings can be
made only to the extent that the value of the Fund's assets, less its
liabilities other than borrowings, is equal to at least 300% of all borrowings
(including the proposed borrowing). If the value of the Fund's assets fails to
meet this 300% asset coverage requirement, the Fund will reduce its bank debt
within three days to meet the requirement. To do so, the Fund might have to sell
a portion of its investments at a disadvantageous time. The Fund's policy on
borrowing is a fundamental policy.

The Fund will pay interest on these loans, and that interest
expense will raise the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns. If
it does borrow, its expenses will be greater than comparable funds that do not
borrow for leverage. Additionally, the Fund's net asset value per share might
fluctuate more than that of funds that do not borrow. Currently, the Fund does
not contemplate using this technique, but if it does so, it will not likely do
so to a substantial degree. The Fund cannot pledge, mortgage or otherwise
encumber, transfer or assign its assets to secure a debt. However, the use of
escrow or other collateral arrangements in connection with the Fund's policy on
borrowing or hedging instruments is permitted.

|X| Derivatives. The Fund can invest in a variety of derivative
investments to seek income for liquidity needs or for hedging purposes. Some
derivative investments the Fund can use are the hedging instruments described
below in this Statement of Additional Information. However, the Fund does not
use, and does not currently contemplate using, derivatives or hedging
instruments to a significant degree.

Some of the derivative investments the Fund can use include debt
exchangeable for common stock of an issuer or "equity-linked debt securities" of
an issuer. At maturity, the debt security is exchanged for common stock of the
issuer or it is payable in an amount based on the price of the issuer's common
stock at the time of maturity. Both alternatives present a risk that the amount
payable at maturity will be less than the principal amount of the debt because
the price of the issuer's common stock might not be as high as the Manager
expected.

|X| Hedging. The Fund can use hedging to attempt to protect against
declines in the market value of the Fund's portfolio, to permit the Fund to
retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities which have
appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons. To do
so, the Fund could:

|_| sell futures contracts,
|_| buy puts on futures or on securities, or
|_| write covered calls on securities or futures. Covered calls can
also be used to increase the Fund's income, but the Manager does
not expect to engage extensively in that practice.

The Fund might use hedging to establish a position in the securities
market as a temporary substitute for purchasing particular securities. In that
case, the Fund would normally seek to purchase the securities and then terminate
that hedging position. The Fund might also use this type of hedge to attempt to
protect against the possibility that its portfolio securities would not be fully
included in a rise in value of the market. To do so the Fund could:

|_| buy 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 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. The Fund cannot
purchase securities on margin. However, the Fund can make margin deposits in
connection with any of the hedging instruments permitted by any of its other
policies.

|_| Futures. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts that
relate to (1) broadly-based stock indices (these are called "stock index
futures"), (2) other broadly-based securities indices (these are referred to as
"financial futures") and (3) foreign currencies (these are referred to as
"forward contracts").

A broadly-based stock index is used as the basis for trading stock
index futures. In some cases an index may be based on stocks of issuers in a
particular industry or group of industries. A stock index assigns relative
values to the common stocks included in the index and its value fluctuates in
response to the changes in value of the underlying stocks. A stock index cannot
be purchased or sold directly. Financial futures are similar contracts based on
the future value of the basket of securities that comprise the index. These
contracts obligate the seller to deliver, and the purchaser to take, cash to
settle the futures transaction. There is no delivery made of the underlying
securities to settle the futures obligation. Either party may also settle the
transaction by entering into an offsetting contract.

No money is paid or received by the Fund on the purchase or sale of a
future. Upon entering into a futures transaction, the Fund will be required to
deposit an initial margin payment with the futures commission merchant (the
"futures broker"). Initial margin payments will be deposited with the Fund's
custodian bank in an account registered in the futures broker's name. However,
the futures broker can gain access to that account only under specified
conditions. As the future is marked to market (that is, its value on the Fund's
books is changed) to reflect changes in its market value, subsequent margin
payments, called variation margin, will be paid to or by the futures broker
daily.

At any time prior to expiration of the future, the Fund may elect to
close out its position by taking an opposite position, at which time a final
determination of variation margin is made and any additional cash must be paid
by or released to the Fund. Any loss or gain on the future is then realized by
the Fund for tax purposes. All futures transactions, except forward contracts,
are effected through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange on which the
contracts are traded.

|_| Put and Call Options. The Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of put
options ("puts") and call options ("calls"). The Fund can buy and sell
exchange-traded and over-the-counter put and call options, including index
options, securities options, currency options, commodities options, and options
on the other types of futures described above.

|_| Writing Covered Call Options. The Fund can write (that is, sell) calls.
If the Fund sells a call option, it must be covered. That means the Fund must
own the security subject to the call while the call is outstanding, or, for
certain types of calls, the call may be covered by segregating liquid assets to
enable the Fund to satisfy its obligations if the call is exercised. Up to 25%
of the Fund's total assets may be subject to calls the Fund writes.

When the Fund writes a call, it receives cash (a premium). In writing
calls on a security, the Fund agrees to sell the underlying security to a
purchaser of a corresponding call on the same security during the call period at
a fixed exercise price regardless of market price changes during the call
period. The call period is usually not more than nine months. The exercise price
may differ from the market price of the underlying security. The Fund has the
risk of loss that the price of the underlying security may decline during the
call period. That risk may be offset to some extent by the premium the Fund
receives. If the value of the investment does not rise above the call price, it
is likely that the call will lapse without being exercised. In that case the
Fund would keep the cash premium and the investment.

When the Fund writes a call on an index, it also receives 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 a specified multiple that determines the total value of the call
for each point of difference. If the value of the underlying investment does not
rise above the call price, it is likely that the call will lapse without being
exercised. In that case the Fund would keep the cash premium.

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 option or when the Fund
enters into a closing 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 will generally be based on a
multiple of the premium received for the option, plus the amount by which the
option is exercisable below the market price of the underlying security (that
is, the option is "in the money"). When the Fund writes an OTC option, it will
treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on holding illiquid
securities) the mark-to-market value of any OTC option it holds, unless the
option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker.

To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, the Fund may
purchase a corresponding call in a "closing purchase transaction." The Fund will
then realize a profit or loss, depending upon whether the net of the amount of
the option transaction costs and the premium received on the call the Fund wrote
is more or less than the price of the call the Fund purchases to close out the
transaction. The Fund may realize a profit if the call expires unexercised,
because the Fund will retain the underlying security and the premium it received
when it wrote the call. Any such profits are considered short-term capital gains
for federal income tax purposes, as are the premiums on lapsed calls. When
distributed by the Fund they are taxable as ordinary income. If the Fund cannot
effect a closing purchase transaction due to the lack of a market, it will have
to hold the callable securities until the call expires or is exercised.

The Fund may also write calls on a futures contract without owning the
futures contract or securities deliverable under the contract. To do so, at the
time the call is written, the Fund must cover the call by segregating an
equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets on its books. The Fund will identify
additional liquid assets on its books to cover the call if the value of the
identified assets drops below 100% of the current value of the future. Because
of this segregation requirement, in no circumstances would the Fund's receipt of
an exercise notice as to that future require the Fund to deliver a futures
contract. It would simply put the Fund in a short futures position, which is
permitted by the Fund's hedging policies.

|_| Writing Put Options. The Fund can sell put options. A put option on
securities gives the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation
to buy, the underlying investment at the exercise price during the option
period. The Fund will not write puts if, as a result, more than 50% of the
Fund's net assets would be required to be identified on the Fund's books to
cover such put options.

If the Fund writes a put, the put must be covered by segregated liquid
assets. The premium the Fund receives from writing a put represents a profit, as
long as the price of the underlying investment remains equal to or above the
exercise price of the put. However, the Fund also assumes the obligation during
the option period to buy the underlying investment from the buyer of the put at
the exercise price, even if the value of the investment falls below the exercise
price. If a put the Fund has written expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a
gain in the amount of the premium less the transaction costs incurred. If the
put is exercised, the Fund must fulfill its obligation to purchase the
underlying investment at the exercise price. That price will usually exceed the
market value of the investment at that time. In that case, the Fund may incur a
loss if it sells the underlying investment. That loss will be equal to the sum
of the sale price of the underlying investment and the premium received minus
the sum of the exercise price and any transaction costs the Fund incurred.

When writing a put option on a security, to secure its obligation to
pay for the underlying security the Fund will identify on its books liquid
assets with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the
underlying securities. The Fund therefore forgoes the opportunity of investing
the identified assets or writing calls against those assets.

As long as the Fund's obligation as the put writer continues, it may be
assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through which the put was sold.
That notice will require the Fund to take delivery of the underlying security
and pay the exercise price. The Fund has no control over when it may be required
to purchase the underlying security, since it may be assigned an exercise notice
at any time prior to the termination of its obligation as the writer of the put.
That obligation terminates upon expiration of the put. It may also terminate if,
before it receives an exercise notice, the Fund effects a closing purchase
transaction by purchasing a put of the same series as it sold. Once the Fund has
been assigned an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase
transaction.

The Fund may decide to effect a closing purchase transaction to realize
a profit on an outstanding put option it has written or to prevent the
underlying security from being put. Effecting a closing purchase transaction
will also permit the Fund to write another put option on the security, or to
sell the security and use the proceeds from the sale for other investments. The
Fund will realize a profit or loss from a closing purchase transaction depending
on whether the cost of the transaction is less or more than the premium received
from writing the put option. Any profits from writing puts are considered
short-term capital gains for federal tax purposes, and when distributed by the
Fund, are taxable as ordinary income.

|_| Purchasing Calls and Puts. The Fund can purchase calls to protect
against the possibility that the Fund's portfolio will not participate in an
anticipated rise in the securities market. When the Fund buys a call (other than
in a closing purchase transaction), it pays a premium. The Fund then 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 it sells the call at a profit or if, during the call period,
the market price of the underlying investment is above the sum of the call price
plus the transaction costs and the premium paid for the call and the Fund
exercises the call. If the Fund does not exercise the call or sell it (whether
or not at a profit), the call will become worthless at its expiration date. In
that case the Fund will have paid the premium but lost the right to purchase the
underlying investment.

The Fund can buy puts whether or not it holds the underlying investment
in its portfolio. When the Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium and, except
as to puts on indices, has the right to sell the underlying investment to a
seller of a put on a corresponding investment during the put period at a fixed
exercise price. Buying a put on securities or futures the Fund owns enables the
Fund to attempt to protect itself during the put period against a decline in the
value of the underlying investment below the exercise price by selling the
underlying investment at the exercise price to a seller of a corresponding put.
If the market price of the underlying investment is equal to or above the
exercise price and, as a result, the put is not exercised or resold, the put
will become worthless at its expiration date. In that case the Fund will have
paid the premium but lost the right to sell the underlying investment. However,
the Fund may sell the put prior to its expiration. That sale may or may not be
at a profit.

When the Fund purchases a call or put on an index or future, it pays a
premium, but settlement is in cash rather than by delivery of the underlying
investment to the Fund. Gain or loss depends on changes in the index in question
(and thus on price movements in the securities market generally) rather than on
price movements in individual securities or futures contracts.

The Fund may buy a call or put only if, after the purchase, the value
of all call and put options held by the Fund will not exceed 5% of the Fund's
total assets.

|_| Buying and Selling Options on Foreign Currencies. The Fund
can buy and sell calls and puts on foreign currencies. They include puts and
calls that trade on a securities or commodities exchange or in the
over-the-counter markets or are quoted by major recognized dealers in such
options. The Fund could use these calls and puts to try to protect against
declines in the dollar value of foreign securities and increases in the dollar
cost of foreign securities the Fund wants to acquire.

If the Manager anticipates a rise in the dollar value of a foreign
currency in which securities to be acquired are denominated, the increased cost
of those securities may be partially offset by purchasing calls or writing puts
on that foreign currency. If the Manager anticipates a decline in the dollar
value of a foreign currency, the decline in the dollar value of portfolio
securities denominated in that currency might be partially offset by writing
calls or purchasing puts on that foreign currency. However, the currency rates
could fluctuate in a direction adverse to the Fund's position. The Fund will
then have incurred option premium payments and transaction costs without a
corresponding benefit.

A call the Fund writes on a foreign currency is "covered" if the Fund
owns the underlying foreign currency covered by the call or has an absolute and
immediate right to acquire that foreign currency without additional cash
consideration (or it can do so for additional cash consideration held in a
segregated account by its custodian bank) upon conversion or exchange of other
foreign currency held in its portfolio.

The Fund could write a call on a foreign currency to provide a hedge
against a decline in the U.S. dollar value of a security which the Fund owns or
has the right to acquire and which is denominated in the currency underlying the
option. That decline might be one that occurs due to an expected adverse change
in the exchange rate. This is known as a "cross-hedging" strategy. In those
circumstances, the Fund covers the option by identifying on its books liquid
assets in an amount equal to the exercise price of the option.

|_| Risks of Hedging with Options and Futures. The use of
hedging instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment
techniques that are different than what is required for normal portfolio
management. If the Manager uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges
market conditions incorrectly, hedging strategies may reduce the Fund's return.
The Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its futures and options
positions were not correlated with its other investments.

The Fund's option activities could affect its portfolio turnover rate
and brokerage commissions. The exercise of calls written by the Fund might cause
the Fund to sell related portfolio securities, thus increasing its turnover
rate. The exercise by the Fund of puts on securities will cause the sale of
underlying investments, increasing portfolio turnover. Although the decision
whether to exercise a put it holds is within the Fund's control, holding a put
might cause the Fund to sell the related investments for reasons that would not
exist in the absence of the put.

The Fund could pay a brokerage commission each time it buys a call or
put, sells a call or put, or buys or sells an underlying investment in
connection with the exercise of a call or put. Those commissions could be higher
on a relative basis than the commissions for direct purchases or sales of the
underlying investments. Premiums paid for options are small in relation to the
market value of the underlying investments. Consequently, put and call options
offer large amounts of leverage. The leverage offered by trading in options
could result in the Fund's net asset value being more sensitive to changes in
the value of the underlying investment.

If a covered call written by the Fund is exercised on an investment
that has increased in value, the Fund will be required to sell the investment at
the call price. It will not be able to realize any profit if the investment has
increased in value above the call price.

An option position may be closed out only on a market that provides
secondary trading for options of the same series, and there is no assurance that
a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option. The Fund might
experience losses if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid
market for the future or option.

There is a risk in using short hedging by selling futures or purchasing
puts on broadly-based indices or futures to attempt to protect against declines
in the value of the Fund's portfolio securities. The risk is that the prices of
the futures or the applicable index will correlate imperfectly with the behavior
of the cash prices of the Fund's securities. For example, it is possible that
while the Fund has used hedging instruments in a short hedge, the market might
advance and the value of the securities held in the Fund's portfolio might
decline. If that occurred, the Fund would lose money on the hedging instruments
and also experience a decline in the value of its portfolio securities. However,
while this could occur for a very brief period or to a very small degree, over
time the value of a diversified portfolio of securities will tend to move in the
same direction as the indices upon which the hedging instruments are based.

The risk of imperfect correlation increases as the composition of the
Fund's portfolio diverges from the securities included in the applicable index.
To compensate for the imperfect correlation of movements in the price of the
portfolio securities being hedged and movements in the price of the hedging
instruments, the Fund might use hedging instruments in a greater dollar amount
than the dollar amount of portfolio securities being hedged. It might do so if
the historical volatility of the prices of the portfolio securities being hedged
is more than the historical volatility of the applicable index.

The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets are
subject to distortions, due to differences in the nature of those markets.
First, all participants in the futures market are subject to margin deposit and
maintenance requirements. Rather than meeting additional margin deposit
requirements, investors may close futures contracts through offsetting
transactions which could distort the normal relationship between the cash and
futures markets. Second, the liquidity of the futures market depends on
participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking
delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced, thus producing distortion. Third, from
the point of view of speculators, the deposit requirements in the futures market
are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities markets. Therefore,
increased participation by speculators in the futures market may cause temporary
price distortions.

The Fund can use hedging instruments to establish a position in the
securities markets as a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual
securities (long hedging) by buying futures and/or calls on such futures,
broadly-based indices or on securities. It is possible that when the Fund does
so the market might decline. If the Fund then concludes not to invest in
securities because of concerns that the market might decline further or for
other reasons, the Fund will realize a loss on the hedging instruments that is
not offset by a reduction in the price of the securities purchased.

|_| Forward Contracts. Forward contracts are foreign currency exchange
contracts. They are used to buy or sell foreign currency for future delivery at
a fixed price. The Fund uses them to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of a
security denominated in a foreign currency that the Fund has bought or sold, or
to protect against possible losses from changes in the relative values of the
U.S. dollar and a foreign currency. The Fund may also use "cross-hedging" where
the Fund hedges against changes in currencies other than the currency in which a
security it holds is denominated.

Under a forward contract, one party agrees to purchase, and another
party agrees to sell, a specific currency at a future date. That date may be any
fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties.
The transaction price is set at the time the contract is entered into. These
contracts are traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly among currency
traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.

The Fund may use forward contracts to protect against uncertainty in
the level of future exchange rates. The use of forward contracts does not
eliminate the risk of fluctuations in the prices of the underlying securities
the Fund owns or intends to acquire, but it does fix a rate of exchange in
advance. Although forward contracts may reduce the risk of loss from a decline
in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time they limit any potential
gain if the value of the hedged currency increases.

When the Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a
security denominated in a foreign currency, or when it anticipates receiving
dividend payments in a foreign currency, the Fund might desire to "lock-in" the
U.S. dollar price of the security or the U.S. dollar equivalent of the dividend
payments. To do so, the Fund might enter into a forward contract for the
purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in the underlying
transaction, in a fixed amount of U.S. dollars per unit of the foreign currency.
This is called a "transaction hedge." The transaction hedge will protect the
Fund against a loss from an adverse change in the currency exchange rates during
the period between the date on which the security is purchased or sold or on
which the payment is declared, and the date on which the payments are made or
received.

The Fund could also use forward contracts to lock in the U.S. dollar
value of portfolio positions. This is called a "position hedge." When the Fund
believes that foreign currency might suffer a substantial decline against the
U.S. dollar, it could enter into a forward contract to sell an amount of that
foreign currency approximating the value of some or all of the Fund's portfolio
securities denominated in that foreign currency. When the Fund believes that the
U.S. dollar might suffer a substantial decline against a foreign currency, it
could enter into a forward contract to buy that foreign currency for a fixed
dollar amount.

Alternatively, the Fund could enter into a forward contract to sell a
different foreign currency for a fixed U.S. dollar amount if the Fund believes
that the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold pursuant to its
forward contract will fall whenever there is a decline in the U.S. dollar value
of the currency in which portfolio securities of the Fund are denominated. That
is referred to as a "cross hedge."

The Fund will cover its short positions in these cases by identifying
on its books liquid assets having a value equal to the aggregate amount of the
Fund's commitment under forward contracts. The Fund will not enter into forward
contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts if the consummation of
the contracts would obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency
in excess of the value of the Fund's portfolio securities or other assets
denominated in that currency or another currency that is the subject of the
hedge.

However, to avoid excess transactions and transaction costs, the Fund
may maintain a net exposure to forward contracts in excess of the value of the
Fund's portfolio securities or other assets denominated in foreign currencies if
the excess amount is "covered" by liquid securities denominated in any currency.
The cover must be at least equal at all times to the amount of that excess. As
one alternative, the Fund may purchase a call option permitting the Fund to
purchase the amount of foreign currency being hedged by a forward sale contract
at a price no higher than the forward contract price. As another alternative,
the Fund may purchase a put option permitting the Fund to sell the amount of
foreign currency subject to a forward purchase contract at a price as high or
higher than the forward contact price.

The precise matching of the amounts under forward contracts and the
value of the securities involved generally will not be possible because the
future value of securities denominated in foreign currencies will change as a
consequence of market movements between the date the forward contract is entered
into and the date it is sold. In some cases the Manager might decide to sell the
security and deliver foreign currency to settle the original purchase
obligation. If the market value of the security is less than the amount of
foreign currency the Fund is obligated to deliver, the Fund might have to
purchase additional foreign currency on the "spot" (that is, cash) market to
settle the security trade. If the market value of the security instead exceeds
the amount of foreign currency the Fund is obligated to deliver to settle the
trade, the Fund might have to sell on the spot market some of the foreign
currency received upon the sale of the security. There will be additional
transaction costs on the spot market in those cases.

The projection of short-term currency market movements is extremely
difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is
highly uncertain. Forward contracts involve the risk that anticipated currency
movements will not be accurately predicted, causing the Fund to sustain losses
on these contracts and to pay additional transactions costs. The use of forward
contracts in this manner might reduce the Fund's performance if there are
unanticipated changes in currency prices to a greater degree than if the Fund
had not entered into such contracts.

At or before the maturity of a forward contract requiring the Fund to
sell a currency, the Fund might sell a portfolio security and use the sale
proceeds to make delivery of the currency. In the alternative the Fund might
retain the security and offset its contractual obligation to deliver the
currency by purchasing a second contract. Under that contract the Fund will
obtain, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the currency that it is
obligated to deliver. Similarly, the Fund might close out a forward contract
requiring it to purchase a specified currency by entering into a second contract
entitling it to sell the same amount of the same currency on the maturity date
of the first contract. The Fund would realize a gain or loss as a result of
entering into such an offsetting forward contract under either circumstance. The
gain or loss will depend on the extent to which the exchange rate or rates
between the currencies involved moved between the execution dates of the first
contract and offsetting contract.

The costs to the Fund of engaging in forward contracts varies with
factors such as the currencies involved, the length of the contract period and
the market conditions then prevailing. Because forward contracts are usually
entered into on a principal basis, no brokerage fees or commissions are
involved. Because these contracts are not traded on an exchange, the Fund must
evaluate the credit and performance risk of the counterparty under each forward
contract.

Although the Fund values its assets daily in terms of U.S. dollars, it
does not intend to convert its holdings of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars
on a daily basis. The Fund may convert foreign currency from time to time, and
will incur costs in doing so. Foreign exchange dealers do not charge a fee for
conversion, but they do seek to realize a profit based on the difference between
the prices at which they buy and sell various currencies. Thus, a dealer might
offer to sell a foreign currency to the Fund at one rate, while offering a
lesser rate of exchange if the Fund desires to resell that currency to the
dealer.

|_| Regulatory Aspects of Hedging Instruments. When using
futures and options on futures, the Fund is required to operate within certain
guidelines and restrictions with respect to the use of futures as established by
the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"). In particular, the Fund
is exempted from registration with the CFTC as a "commodity pool operator" if
the Fund complies with the requirements of Rule 4.5 adopted by the CFTC. The
Rule does not limit the percentage of the Fund's assets that may be used for
futures margin and related options premiums for a bona fide hedging position.
However, under the Rule, the Fund must limit its aggregate initial futures
margin and related options premiums to not more than 5% of the Fund's net assets
for hedging strategies that are not considered bona fide hedging strategies
under the Rule.

Transactions in options by the Fund are subject to limitations
established by the option exchanges. The exchanges limit the maximum number of
options that may be written or held by a single investor or group of investors
acting in concert. Those limits apply regardless of whether the options were
written or purchased on the same or different exchanges or are held in one or
more accounts or through one or more different exchanges or through one or more
brokers. Thus, the number of options that the Fund may write or hold may be
affected by options written or held by other entities, including other
investment companies having the same advisor as the Fund (or an advisor that is
an affiliate of the Fund's advisor). The exchanges also impose position limits
on futures transactions. An exchange may order the liquidation of positions
found to be in violation of those limits and may impose certain other sanctions.

Under the Investment Company Act, when the Fund purchases a future, it
must maintain cash or readily marketable short-term debt instruments in an
amount equal to the market value of the securities underlying the future, less
the margin deposit applicable to it.

|_| Tax Aspects of Certain Hedging Instruments. Certain
foreign currency exchange contracts in which the Fund may invest are treated as
"Section 1256 contracts" under the Internal Revenue Code. In general, gains or
losses relating to Section 1256 contracts are characterized as 60% long-term and
40% short-term capital gains or losses under the Code. However, foreign currency
gains or losses arising from Section 1256 contracts that are forward contracts
generally are treated as ordinary income or loss. In addition, Section 1256
contracts held by the Fund at the end of each taxable year are
"marked-to-market," and unrealized gains or losses are treated as though they
were realized. These contracts also may be marked-to-market for purposes of
determining the excise tax applicable to investment company distributions and
for other purposes under rules prescribed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.
An election can be made by the Fund to exempt those transactions from this
marked-to-market treatment.

Certain forward contracts the Fund enters into may result in
"straddles" for federal income tax purposes. The straddle rules may affect the
character and timing of gains (or losses) recognized by the Fund on straddle
positions. Generally, a loss sustained on the disposition of a position making
up a straddle is allowed only to the extent that the loss exceeds any
unrecognized gain in the offsetting positions making up the straddle. Disallowed
loss is generally allowed at the point where there is no unrecognized gain in
the offsetting positions making up the straddle, or the offsetting position is
disposed of.

Under the Internal Revenue Code, the following gains or losses are
treated as ordinary income or loss:

(1) gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates
that occur between the time the Fund accrues interest or other
receivables or accrues expenses or other liabilities denominated
in a foreign currency and the time the Fund actually collects such
receivables or pays such liabilities, and

(2) gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of a
foreign currency between the date of acquisition of a debt
security denominated in a foreign currency or foreign currency
forward contracts and the date of disposition.

Currency gains and losses are offset against market gains and losses on
each trade before determining a net "Section 988" gain or loss under the
Internal Revenue Code for that trade, which may increase or decrease the amount
of the Fund's investment income available for distribution to its shareholders.

|X| Temporary Defensive Investments. When market conditions are
unstable, or the Manager believes it is otherwise appropriate to reduce holdings
in stocks, the Fund can invest in a variety of debt securities for defensive
purposes. The Fund can buy:

|_| high-quality (rated in the top rating categories of
nationally-recognized rating organizations or deemed by the Manager to be
of comparable quality), short-term money market instruments, including
those issued by the U. S. Treasury or other government agencies,

|_| commercial paper (short-term, unsecured, promissory notes of
domestic or foreign companies) rated in the top rating category of a
nationally recognized rating organization,

|_| debt obligations of corporate issuers, rated investment grade
(rated at least Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or at least BBB by
Standard & Poor's Corporation, or a comparable rating by another rating
organization), or unrated securities judged by the Manager to have a
comparable quality to rated securities in those categories,

|_| preferred stocks,
|_| certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances of domestic
and foreign banks and savings and loan associations, and
|_| repurchase agreements.

Short-term debt securities would normally be selected for defensive or
cash management purposes because they can normally be disposed of quickly, are
not generally subject to significant fluctuations in principal value and their
value will be less subject to interest rate risk than longer-term debt
securities.

Investment Restrictions

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

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

o more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

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

|X| Does the Fund Have Additional Fundamental Policies? The following
investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund.

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

o The Fund cannot invest in companies for the purpose of acquiring
control or management of them.

o The Fund cannot lend money. However, it can invest in debt securities that the
Fund's investment policies and restriction's permit it to purchase. The Fund may
also lend its portfolio securities and enter into repurchase agreements.

o The Fund cannot borrow other than from banks and only to the extent that the
value of the Fund's assets, less its liabilities other than borrowings, is equal
to at least 300% of all borrowings (including the proposed borrowing).

o The Fund cannot concentrate investments. That means it cannot invest
25% or more of its total assets in companies in any one industry. Obligations of
the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities are not considered to be
part of an "industry" for the purposes of this restriction.

o The Fund cannot invest in real estate or in interests in real estate.
However, the Fund can purchase securities of companies holding real estate or
interests in real estate.

o The Fund cannot invest in physical commodities or physical commodity contracts
or buy securities for speculative short-term purposes. However, the Fund can buy
and sell any of the hedging instruments permitted by any of its other policies.
It can also buy and sell options, futures, securities or other instruments
backed by physical commodities or whose investment return is linked to changes
in the price of physical commodities.

o The Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies. A permitted
exception is in case it is deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act
of 1933 when reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.

o The Fund cannot pledge, mortgage or hypothecate any of its assets. However,
this does not prohibit the escrow arrangements contemplated by the put and call
activities of the Fund or other collateral or margin arrangements in connection
with any of the hedging instruments permitted by any of its other policies.

o The Fund cannot issue "senior securities," but this does not prohibit
certain investment activities for which assets of the Fund are designated as
segregated, or margin, collateral or escrow arrangements are established, to
cover the related obligations. Examples of those activities include borrowing
money, reverse repurchase agreements, delayed-delivery and when-issued
arrangements for portfolio securities transactions, and contracts to buy or sell
derivatives, hedging instruments, options or futures.

o The Fund can invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end
management investment company for which the Manager, one of its subsidiaries or
a successor is the investment advisor or sub-advisor. That fund must have
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies and
limitations as the Fund.

This fundamental policy that permits the Fund to invest its
assets in an open-end management investment company would permit the fund to
adopt a "master-feeder" structure. Under that structure, the Fund would be a
"feeder" fund and would invest all of its assets in a single pooled "master
fund" in which other feeder funds could also invest. This could enable the Fund
to take advantage of potential operational and cost efficiencies in the
master-feeder structure. The Fund has no present intention of adopting the
master-feeder structure. If it did so, the Prospectus and this Statement of
Additional Information would be revised accordingly.

At a meeting held on February 29, 2000, the Board of Trustees
recommended: (i) the elimination of the Fund's fundamental investment
restriction with respect to (a) investing in a company for the purpose of
acquiring control, (b) investment of all the Fund's assets in the securities of
a single open-ended management investment company, i.e. master-feeder or
fund-of-funds structure, and (c) pledging of assets; and (ii) amendment of the
Fund's fundamental investment restriction with respect to: (a) borrowing; (b)
lending; and (c) diversification. These changes are expected to be approved by
shareholders on or about November 7, 2000. The current and proposed language, as
applicable, is set forth below. If the changes are not approved by shareholders,
the Manager will supplement this Statement of Additional Information to reflect
that the changes were not approved.

securities. That restriction applies to 75% of agencies or instrumentalities.
the Fund's total assets. The limit does notapply to securities issued by the
U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or securities of
other investment companies.

Unless the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information
states that a percentage restriction applies on an on-going basis, it applies
only at the time the Fund makes an investment. The Fund need not sell securities
to meet the percentage limits if the value of the investment increases in
proportion to the size of the Fund.

For purposes of the Fund's policy not to concentrate its investments as
described above, the Fund has adopted the industry classifications set forth in
Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information. That is not a
fundamental policy.

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 Massachusetts business trust in 1999.

The Fund is governed by a Board of Trustees, which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders under Massachusetts law. The Trustees
meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Fund's activities, review
its performance, and review the actions of the Manager. Although the Fund will
not normally hold annual meetings of its shareholders, it may hold shareholder
meetings from time to time on important matters, and shareholders have the right
to call a meeting to remove a Trustee or to take other action described in the
Fund's Declaration of Trust.

|X| Classes of Shares. The Board of Trustees has the power, without
shareholder approval, to divide unissued shares of the Fund into two or more
classes. The Board has done so, and the Fund currently offers five classes of
shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y. All classes invest in
the same investment portfolio. Each class of shares:

o has its own dividends and distributions,
o pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,
o may have a different net asset value,
o may have separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one class
are different from interests of another class, and
o votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.

Shares are freely transferable, and each share of each class has one
vote at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionally on
matters submitted to the vote of shareholders. Each share of the Fund represents
an interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of each other
share of the same class.

The Trustees are authorized to create new series and classes of shares.
The Trustees may reclassify unissued shares of the Fund into additional series
or classes of shares. The Trustees also may divide or combine the shares of a
class into a greater or lesser number of shares without changing the
proportionate beneficial interest of a shareholder in the Fund. Shares do not
have cumulative voting rights or preemptive or subscription rights. Shares may
be voted in person or by proxy at shareholder meetings.

|X| Meetings of Shareholders. As a Massachusetts business trust, the
Fund is not required to hold, and does not plan to hold, regular annual meetings
of shareholders. The Fund will hold meetings when required to do so by the
Investment Company Act or other applicable law. It will also do so when a
shareholder meeting is called by the Trustees or upon proper request of the
shareholders.

Shareholders have the right, upon the declaration in writing or vote of
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Fund, to remove a Trustee. 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, whichever is less. The Trustees may also take other action
as permitted by the Investment Company Act.

|X| Shareholder and Trustee Liability. The Fund's Declaration of Trust
contains an express disclaimer of shareholder or 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.
Massachusetts law permits a shareholder of a business trust (such as the Fund)
to be held personally liable as a "partner" under certain circumstances.
However, 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.

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.

their principal occupations and business affiliations during the past five years
are listed below. Trustees denoted with an asterisk (*) below are deemed to be

</TABLE>

1 For the 1999 calendar year.
2.Effective July 1, 2000, Messrs. Baker and Steel resigned as
Trustees of the Fund.

|_| Deferred Compensation Plan. The Board of Trustees has adopted a
Deferred Compensation Plan for disinterested trustees that enables them to
elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are
entitled to receive from the Fund. Under the plan, the compensation deferred
by a 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 upon
the performance of the selected funds.

Deferral of Trustee's fees under the plan will not materially
affect the Fund's assets, liabilities and net income per share. The plan will
not obligate the 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 Securities and Exchange Commission, the 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 fee account.

|_| Major Shareholders. As of October 24, 2000, the only person who
owned of record or was known by the Fund to own beneficially 5% or more of any
class of the Fund's outstanding shares was Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith,
4800 Deer Lake Drive E., 3rd Floor, Jacksonville, Florida 32246, who owned
456,237.380 Class B shares (representing approximately 6.64% of the Fund's
then-outstanding Class B shares), for the sole benefit of its customers. The
Manager is the sole shareholder of the Fund's Class Y shares.

The Manager. The Manager is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a
holding company controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company.

|X| Code of Ethics. The Fund, the Manager and the Distributor have
a Code of Ethics. It is designed to detect and prevent improper personal trading
by certain employees, including portfolio managers, that would compete with or
take advantage of the Fund's portfolio transactions. Covered persons include
persons with knowledge of the investments and investment intentions of the Fund
and other funds advised by the Manager. The Code of Ethics does permit personnel
subject to the Code to invest in securities, including securities that may be
purchased or held by the Fund, subject to a number of restrictions and controls.
Compliance with the Code of Ethics is carefully monitored and enforced by the
Manager.

The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the Fund's registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and can be reviewed and copied
at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You can obtain
information about the hours of operation of the Public Reference Room by calling
the SEC at 1-202-942-8090. The Code of Ethics can also be viewed as part of the
Fund's registration statement on the SEC's EDGAR database at the SEC's Internet
website at http://www.sec.gov. Copies may be obtained, after paying a
duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following E-mail address:
[email protected]., or by writing to the SEC's Public Reference Section,
Washington, D.C. 20549-0102.

|_| 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 the persons who are principally
responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. Other members
of the Manager's Equity Portfolio Department provide the portfolio managers with
counsel and support in managing the Fund's portfolio.

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

--------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
Management Fees Paid to OppenheimerFunds,Inc.
Fiscal Year Ended:
--------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
06/30/001 $ 1,011,905
--------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
1. For the period from 08/2/99 (commencement of operations).

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 sustained by reason of any
investment of Fund assets made with due care and in good faith.

The agreement permits the Manager to act as investment advisor 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
advisor or general distributor. If the Manager shall no longer act as investment
advisor to the Fund, the Manager may withdraw the right of the Fund to use the
name "Oppenheimer" as part of its name.

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 to effect the Fund's portfolio transactions.
The Manager is authorized by the advisory agreement to employ broker-dealers,
including "affiliated" brokers, as that term is defined in the Investment
Company Act. The Manager may employ broker-dealers that the Manager thinks, in
its best judgment based on all relevant factors, will implement the policy of
the Fund to obtain, at reasonable expense, the "best execution" of the Fund's
portfolio transactions. "Best execution" means prompt and reliable execution at
the most favorable price obtainable. The Manager need not seek competitive
commission bidding. However, it 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 of
Trustees.

Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager may select brokers
(other than affiliates) that provide brokerage and/or research services for the
Fund and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates have
investment discretion. The commissions paid to such 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. Subject to those considerations, as a factor in selecting
brokers for the Fund's portfolio transactions, the Manager may also consider
sales of shares of the Fund and other investment companies for which the Manager
or an affiliate serves as investment advisor.

Brokerage Practices Followed by the Manager. The Manager allocates brokerage for
the Fund subject to the provisions of the investment advisory agreement and the
procedures and rules described above. Generally, the Manager's portfolio traders
allocate brokerage based upon recommendations from the Manager's portfolio
managers. In certain instances, portfolio managers may directly place trades and
allocate brokerage. In either case, the Manager's executive officers supervise
the allocation of brokerage.

Transactions in securities other than those for which an exchange is the primary
market are generally done with principals or market makers. In transactions on
foreign exchanges, the Fund may be required to pay fixed brokerage commissions
and therefore would not have the benefit of negotiated commissions available in
U.S. markets. Brokerage commissions are paid primarily for transactions in
listed securities or for certain fixed-income agency transactions in the
secondary market. Otherwise brokerage commissions are paid only if it appears
likely that a better price or execution can be obtained by doing so. In an
option transaction, the Fund ordinarily uses the same broker for the purchase or
sale of the option and any transaction in the securities to which the option
relates.

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. If two or more funds advised by the Manager
purchase the same security on the same day from the same dealer, the
transactions under those combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated
in accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account.

Most purchases of debt obligations are principal transactions at net
prices. Instead of using a broker for those transactions, the Fund normally
deals directly with the selling or purchasing principal or market maker unless
the Manager determines that a better price or execution can be obtained by using
the services of a broker. Purchases of portfolio securities from underwriters
include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter.
Purchases from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked prices. The
Fund seeks to obtain prompt execution of these orders at the most favorable net
price.

The investment advisory agreement permits the Manager to allocate
brokerage for research services. The research services provided by a particular
broker may be useful only to one or more of the advisory accounts of the Manager
and its affiliates. The investment research received for the commissions of
those other accounts may be useful both to the Fund and one or more of the
Manager's other accounts. Investment research may be supplied to the Manager by
a third party at the instance of a broker through which trades are placed.

Investment research services include information and analysis on
particular companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and
portfolio strategy, market quotations for portfolio evaluations, information
systems, computer hardware and similar products and services. If a research
service also assists the 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.

The Board of Trustees permits 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 of Trustees permits the Manager to use concessions on fixed-price
offerings to obtain research, in the same manner as is permitted for agency
transactions.

The research services provided by brokers broadens the scope and
supplements 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.

Distribution and Service Plans

The Distributor. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Fund, the
Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public
offering of the different classes of shares of the Fund. The Distributor is not
obligated to sell a specific number of shares. Expenses normally attributable to
sales are borne by the Distributor.

</TABLE>

Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A
shares and Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N
shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act. Under those plans the
Fund pays the Distributor for all or a portion of its costs incurred in
connection with the distribution and/or servicing of the shares of the
particular class. Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of
Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees3, cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan.

Under the plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to
affiliates, in their sole discretion, from time to time, and may use their own
resources (at no direct cost to the Fund) to make payments to brokers, dealers
or other financial institutions for distribution and administrative services
they perform. The Manager may use its profits from the advisory fee it receives
from the Fund. In their sole discretion, the Distributor and the Manager may
increase or decrease the amount of payments they make from their own resources
to plan recipients.

Unless a plan is terminated as described below, the plan continues in
effect from year to year but only if the Fund's Board of Trustees and its
Independent Trustees specifically vote annually to approve its continuance.
Approval must be by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on continuing the plan. A plan may be terminated at any time by the vote
of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by the vote of the holders of a
"majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the outstanding shares
of that class.

The Board of Trustees and the Independent Trustees must approve all
material amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase materially the amount of
payments to be made under a plan must be approved by shareholders of the class
affected by the amendment. Because Class B shares of the Fund automatically
convert into Class A shares after six years, the Fund must obtain the approval
of both Class A and Class B shareholders for a proposed material amendment to
the Class A Plan that would materially increase payments under the Plan.

While the Plans are in effect, the Treasurer of the Fund shall provide
separate written reports on the plans to the Board of Trustees at least
quarterly for its review. The Reports shall detail the amount of all payments
made under a plan and the purpose for which the payments were made. Those
reports are subject to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees.

Each Plan states that while it is in effect, the selection and
nomination of those Trustees of the Fund who are not "interested persons" of the
Fund is committed to the discretion of the Independent Trustees. This does not
prevent the involvement of others in the selection and nomination process as
long as the final decision as to selection or nomination is approved by a
majority of the Independent Trustees.

Under the plans for a class, no payment will be made to any recipient
in any quarter in which the aggregate net asset value of all Fund shares of that
class held by the recipient for itself and its customers does not exceed a
minimum amount, if any, that may be set from time to time by a majority of the
Independent Trustees. The Board of Trustees has set no minimum amount of assets
to qualify for payments under the plans.

|_| Class A Service Plan Fees. Under the Class A service plan, the
Distributor currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers,
dealers and other financial institutions (they are referred to as "recipients")
for personal services and account maintenance services they provide for their
customers who hold Class A shares. The services include, among others, answering
customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in establishing and maintaining
accounts in the Fund, making the Fund's investment plans available and providing
other services at the request of the Fund or the Distributor. The Class A
service plan permits reimbursements to the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25%
of average annual net assets of Class A shares. While the plan permits the Board
to authorize payments to the Distributor to reimburse itself for services under
the plan, the Board has not yet done so. The Distributor makes payments to plan
recipients quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average annual
net assets consisting of Class A shares held in the accounts of the recipients
or their customers.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 payments made under the Class A
Plan totaled $193, 207, all of which was paid by the Distributor to recipients.
That included $16,523 paid to an affiliate of the Distributors 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, Class C and Class N Service and Distribution Plan Fees.
Under each plan, service fees and distribution fees are computed on the average
of the net asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the
close of each regular business day during the period. The Class C plan allows
the Distributor to be reimbursed for its services and costs in distributing
Class C shares and servicing accounts. The Class B, Class C and Class N plans
provide for the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the
Distributor's distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by
the Fund under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid. The types
of services that recipients provide are similar to the services provided under
the Class A service plan, described above.

The Class B, Class C and the Class N Plans permit the Distributor to
retain both the asset-based sales charges and the service fees or to pay
recipients the service fee on a quarterly basis, without payment in advance.
However, the Distributor currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients
in advance for the first year after the shares are purchased. After the first
year shares are outstanding, the Distributor makes service fee payments
quarterly on those shares. The advance payment is based on the net asset value
of shares sold. Shares purchased by exchange do not qualify for the advanced
service fee payment. If Class B, Class C or Class N shares are redeemed during
the first year after their purchase, the recipient of the service fees on those
shares will be obligated to repay the Distributor a pro rata portion of the
advance payment of the service fee made on those shares.

The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class B shares. The
Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class C shares during the
first year the shares are outstanding. The Distributor retains the asset backed
sales charge on Class N shares. It pays the asset-based sales charge as an
ongoing commission to the recipient on Class C shares outstanding for a year or
more. If a dealer has a special agreement with the Distributor, the Distributor
will pay the Class B, Class C and/or Class N service fee and the asset-based
sales charge to the dealer quarterly in lieu of paying the sales commissions and
service fee in advance at the time of purchase.

The asset-based sales charges on Class B, Class C and Class N shares allow
investors to buy shares without a front-end sales charge while allowing the
Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares. The Fund pays the
asset-based sales charges to the Distributor for its services rendered in
distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares. The payments are made to the
Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:

o pays sales commissions to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of sale
and pays service fees as described above, o may finance payment of sales
commissions and/or the advance of the service fee payment to recipients under
the plans, or may

provide such financing from its own resources or from the resources of
an affiliate, o employs personnel to support distribution of Class B, Class C
and Class N shares, and

o bears the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses
(other than those furnished to current shareholders) and state "blue
sky" registration fees and certain other distribution expenses.

Performance of the Fund

Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Fund uses a variety of terms to
illustrate its investment performance. Those terms include "cumulative total
return," "average annual total return," "average annual total return at net
asset value" and "total return at net asset value." An explanation of how total
returns are calculated is set forth below. You can obtain current performance
information by calling the Fund's Transfer Agent at 1-800-525-7048 or by
visiting the OppenheimerFunds Internet web site at
http://www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

The Fund's illustrations of its performance data in advertisements must
comply with rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those rules
describe the types of performance data that may be used and how it is to be
calculated. In general, any advertisement by the Fund of its performance data
must include the average annual total returns for the advertised class of shares
of the Fund. Those returns must be shown for the 1-, 5- and 10-year periods (or
the life of the class, if less) ending as of the most recently ended calendar
quarter prior to the publication of the advertisement (or its submission for
publication).

Use of standardized performance calculations enables an investor to
compare the Fund's performance to the performance of other funds for the same
periods. However, a number of factors should be considered before using the
Fund's performance information as a basis for comparison with other investments:

|_| Total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account in
the Fund over various periods and do not show the performance of each
shareholder's account. Your account's performance will vary from the
model performance data if your dividends are received in cash, or you
buy or sell shares during the period, or you bought your shares at a
different time and price than the shares used in the model.

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

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

|_| The principal value of the Fund's shares and total returns are not
guaranteed and normally will fluctuate on a daily basis.
|_| When an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than
their original cost.
|_| Total returns for any given past period represent historical performance
information and are not,and should not be considered, a prediction of future
returns.

The performance of each class of shares is shown separately, because
the performance of each class of shares will usually be different. That is
because of the different kinds of expenses each class bears. The total returns
of each class of shares of the Fund are affected by market conditions, the
quality of the Fund's investments, the maturity of debt investments, the types
of investments the Fund holds, and its operating expenses that are allocated to
the particular class.

|X| Total Return Information. There are different types of "total returns" to
measure the Fund's performance. Total return is the change in value of a
hypothetical investment in the Fund over a given period, assuming that all
dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested in additional shares
and that the investment is redeemed at the end of the period. Because of
differences in expenses for each class of shares, the total returns for each
class are separately measured. The cumulative total return measures the change
in value over the entire period (for example, ten years). An average annual
total return shows the average rate of return for each year in a period that
would produce the cumulative total return over the entire period. However,
average annual total returns do not show actual year-by-year performance. The
Fund uses standardized calculations for its total returns as prescribed by the
SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current
maximum sales charge of 5.75% (as a percentage of the offering price) is
deducted from the initial investment ("P") (unless the return is shown without
sales charge, as described below). For Class B shares, payment of the applicable
contingent deferred sales charge is applied, depending on the period for which
the return is shown: 5.0% in the first year, 4.0% in the second year, 3.0% in
the third and fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0% in the sixth year and
none thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1% contingent deferred sales charge is
deducted for returns for the 1-year period. For Class N shares, the 1%
contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the 18 month
period. There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.

|_| Average Annual Total Return. The "average annual total
return" of each class is an average annual compounded rate of return for each
year in a specified number of years. It is the rate of return based on the
change in value of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the
formula below) held for a number of years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an
Ending Redeemable Value ("ERV" in the formula) of that investment, according to
the following formula:

1/n
(ERV)
(---) -1 = Average Annual Total Return
( P )

|_| Cumulative Total Return. The "cumulative total return"
calculation measures the change in value of a hypothetical investment of $1,000
over an entire period of years. Its calculation uses some of the same factors as
average annual total return, but it does not average the rate of return on an
annual basis. Cumulative total return is determined as follows:

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

|_| Total Returns at Net Asset Value. From time to time the
Fund may also quote a cumulative or an average annual total return "at net asset
value" (without deducting sales charges) for Class A, Class B, Class C or Class
N shares. Each is based on the difference in net asset value per share at the
beginning and the end of the period for a hypothetical investment in that class
of shares (without considering front-end or contingent deferred sales charges)
and takes into consideration the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions.

Other Performance Comparisons. The Fund compares its performance annually to
that of an appropriate broadly-based market index in its Annual Report to
shareholders. You can obtain that information by contacting the Transfer Agent
at the addresses or telephone numbers shown on the cover of this Statement of
Additional Information. The Fund may also compare its performance to that of
other investments, including other mutual funds, or use rankings of its
performance by independent ranking entities. Examples of these performance
comparisons are set forth below.

|_| Lipper Rankings. From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking
of the performance of its classes of shares by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
Lipper is a widely-recognized independent mutual fund monitoring service. Lipper
monitors the performance of regulated investment companies, including the Fund,
and ranks their performance for various periods in categories based on
investment styles. The performance of the Fund is ranked by Lipper against all
other growth funds. The Lipper performance rankings are based on total returns
that include the reinvestment of capital gain distributions and income dividends
but do not take sales charges or taxes into consideration. Lipper also publishes
"peer-group" indices of the performance of all mutual funds in a category that
it monitors and averages of the performance of the funds in particular
categories.

|_| Morningstar Ratings and Rankings. From time to time the Fund may
publish the ranking and/or star rating of the performance of its classes of
shares by Morningstar, Inc., an independent mutual fund monitoring service.
Morningstar rates and ranks mutual funds in broad investment categories:
domestic stock funds, international stock funds, taxable bond funds and
municipal bond funds. The Fund is included in the domestic stock funds category.

Morningstar proprietary star ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted
total investment return. Investment return measures a fund's (or class's) one-,
three-, five- and ten-year average annual total returns (depending on the
inception of the fund or class) in excess of 90-day U.S. Treasury bill returns
after considering the fund's sales charges and expenses. Risk is measured by a
fund's (or class's) performance below 90-day U.S. Treasury bill returns. Risk
and investment return are combined to produce star ratings reflecting
performance relative to the other funds in the fund's category. Five stars is
the "highest" ranking (top 10% of funds in a category), four stars is "above
average" (next 22.5%), three stars is "average" (next 35%), two stars is "below
average" (next 22.5%) and one star is "lowest" (bottom 10%). The current star
rating is the fund's (or class's) overall rating, which is the fund's 3-year
rating or its combined 3- and 5-year ranking (weighted 60%/40% respectively), or
its combined 3-, 5-, and 10-year rating (weighted 40%/30%/30%, respectively),
depending on the inception date of the fund (or class). Ratings are subject to
change monthly.

The Fund may also compare its total return ranking to that of other
funds in its Morningstar category, in addition to its star rating. Those total
return rankings are percentages from one percent to one hundred percent and are
not risk-adjusted. For example, if a fund is in the 94th percentile, that means
that 94% of the funds in the same category performed better than it did.

|_| Performance Rankings and Comparisons by Other Entities and
Publications. From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements and
sales literature performance information about the Fund cited in newspapers and
other periodicals such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's,
or similar publications. That information may include performance quotations
from other sources, including Lipper and Morningstar. The performance of the
Fund's classes of shares may be compared in publications to the performance of
various market indices or other investments, and averages, performance rankings
or other benchmarks prepared by recognized mutual fund statistical services.

Investors may also wish to compare the returns on the Fund's share
classes to the return on fixed-income investments available from banks and
thrift institutions. Those include certificates of deposit, ordinary
interest-paying checking and savings accounts, and other forms of fixed or
variable time deposits, and various other instruments such as Treasury bills.
However, the Fund's returns and share price are not guaranteed or insured by the
FDIC or any other agency and will fluctuate daily, while bank depository
obligations may be insured by the FDIC and may provide fixed rates of return.
Repayment of principal and payment of interest on Treasury securities is backed
by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

From time to time, the Fund may publish rankings or ratings of the
Manager or Transfer Agent, and of the investor services provided by them to
shareholders of the Oppenheimer funds, other than performance rankings of the
Oppenheimer funds themselves. Those ratings or rankings of shareholder and
investor services by third parties may include comparisons of their services to
those provided by other mutual fund families selected by the rating or ranking
services. They may be based upon the opinions of the rating or ranking service
itself, using its research or judgment, or based upon surveys of investors,
brokers, shareholders or others.

How to Buy Shares

Additional information is presented below about the methods that can be
used to buy shares of the Fund. Appendix C contains more information about the
special sales charge arrangements offered by the Fund, and the circumstances in
which sales charges may be reduced or waived for certain classes of investors.

AccountLink. When shares are purchased through AccountLink, each purchase must
be at least $25. Shares will be purchased on the regular business day you
instruct the Distributor to initiate the Automated Clearing House ("ACH")
transfer to buy the shares. Dividends will begin to accrue on shares purchased
with the proceeds of ACH transfers on the business day the Fund receives federal
funds for the purchase through the ACH system before the close of The New York
Stock Exchange. The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., but may close earlier
on certain days. If Federal Funds are received on a business day after the close
of the Exchange, the shares will be purchased and dividends will begin to accrue
on the next regular business day. The proceeds of ACH transfers are normally
received by the Fund 3 days after the transfers are initiated. The Distributor
and the Fund are not responsible for any delays in purchasing shares resulting
from delays in ACH transmissions.

Reduced Sales Charges. As discussed in the Prospectus, a reduced sales charge
rate may be obtained for Class A shares under Right of Accumulation and Letters
of Intent because of the economies of sales efforts and reduction in expenses
realized by the Distributor, dealers and brokers making such sales. No sales
charge is imposed in certain other circumstances described in Appendix C to this
Statement of Additional Information because the Distributor or dealer or broker
incurs little or no selling expenses.

|_| Right of Accumulation. To qualify for the lower sales charge rates
that apply to larger purchases of Class A shares, you and your
spouse can add together:

|_| Class A and Class B shares you purchase for your individual
accounts, or for your joint accounts, or for trust or
custodial accounts on behalf of your children who are minors,
and

|_|current purchases of Class A and Class B shares of the Fund
and other Oppenheimer funds to reduce the sales charge rate
that applies to current purchases of Class A shares, and

|_|Class A and Class B shares of Oppenheimer funds you previously
purchased subject to an initial or contingent deferred sales
charge to reduce the sales charge rate for current purchases
of Class A shares, provided that you still hold your
investment in one of the Oppenheimer funds.

A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a trust, estate or other
fiduciary account (including one or more employee benefit plans of the same
employer) that has multiple accounts. The Distributor will add the value, at
current offering price, of the shares you previously purchased and currently own
to the value of current purchases to determine the sales charge rate that
applies. The reduced sales charge will apply only to current purchases. You must
request it when you buy shares.

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

Oppenheimer Bond Fund Oppenheimer Main Street California Municipal Fund
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund Oppenheimer Main Street Growth&Income Fund
Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund Oppenheimer Main Street Opportunity Fund
Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund
Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund Oppenheimer MidCap Fund

And the following money market funds:

Centennial America Fund, L. P. Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust Centennial Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial Government Trust Oppenheimer Cash Reserves
Centennial Money Market Trust Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.

There is an initial sales charge on the purchase of Class A shares of
each of the Oppenheimer funds except the money market funds. Under certain
circumstances described in this Statement of Additional Information, redemption
proceeds of certain money market fund shares may be subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge.

|_| Letters of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent, if you purchase Class
A shares or Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds
during a 13-month period, you can reduce the sales charge rate that applies to
your purchases of Class A shares. The total amount of your intended purchases of
both Class A and Class B shares will determine the reduced sales charge rate for
the Class A shares purchased during that period. You can include purchases made
up to 90 days before the date of the Letter.

A Letter of Intent is an investor's statement in writing to the
Distributor of the intention to purchase Class A shares or Class A and Class B
shares of the Fund (and other Oppenheimer funds) during a 13-month period (the
"Letter of Intent period"). At the investor's request, this may include
purchases made up to 90 days prior to the date of the Letter. The Letter states
the investor's intention to make the aggregate amount of purchases of shares
which, when added to the investor's holdings of shares of those funds, will
equal or exceed the amount specified in the Letter. Purchases made by
reinvestment of dividends or distributions of capital gains and purchases made
at net asset value without sales charge do not count toward satisfying the
amount of the Letter.

A Letter enables an investor to count the Class A and Class B shares
purchased under the Letter to obtain the reduced sales charge rate on purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund (and other Oppenheimer funds) that applies under
the Right of Accumulation to current purchases of Class A shares. Each purchase
of Class A shares under the Letter will be made at the offering price (including
the sales charge) that applies to a single lump-sum purchase of shares in the
amount intended to be purchased under the Letter.

In submitting a Letter, the investor makes no commitment to purchase
shares. However, if the investor's purchases of shares within the Letter of
Intent period, when added to the value (at offering price) of the investor's
holdings of shares on the last day of that period, do not equal or exceed the
intended purchase amount, the investor agrees to pay the additional amount of
sales charge applicable to such purchases. That amount is described in "Terms of
Escrow," below (those terms may be amended by the Distributor from time to
time). The investor agrees that shares equal in value to 5% of the intended
purchase amount will be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent subject to the
Terms of Escrow. Also, the investor agrees to be bound by the terms of the
Prospectus, this Statement of Additional Information and the Application used
for a Letter of Intent. If those terms are amended, as they may be from time to
time by the Fund, the investor agrees to be bound by the amended terms and that
those amendments will apply automatically to existing Letters of Intent.

If the total eligible purchases made during the Letter of Intent period
do not equal or exceed the intended purchase amount, the commissions previously
paid to the dealer of record for the account and the amount of sales charge
retained by the Distributor will be adjusted to the rates applicable to actual
total purchases. If total eligible purchases during the Letter of Intent period
exceed the intended purchase amount and exceed the amount needed to qualify for
the next sales charge rate reduction set forth in the Prospectus, the sales
charges paid will be adjusted to the lower rate. That adjustment will be made
only if and when the dealer returns to the Distributor the excess of the amount
of commissions allowed or paid to the dealer over the amount of commissions that
apply to the actual amount of purchases. The excess commissions returned to the
Distributor will be used to purchase additional shares for the investor's
account at the net asset value per share in effect on the date of such purchase,
promptly after the Distributor's receipt thereof.

The Transfer Agent will not hold shares in escrow for purchases of
shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds by OppenheimerFunds prototype
401(k) plans under a Letter of Intent. If the intended purchase amount under a
Letter of Intent entered into by an OppenheimerFunds prototype 401(k) plan is
not purchased by the plan by the end of the Letter of Intent period, there will
be no adjustment of commissions paid to the broker-dealer or financial
institution of record for accounts held in the name of that plan.

In determining the total amount of purchases made under a Letter,
shares redeemed by the investor prior to the termination of the Letter of Intent
period will be deducted. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or
the investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter in placing any purchase
orders for the investor during the Letter of Intent period. All of such
purchases must be made through the Distributor.

|_| Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent.

1. Out of the initial purchase (or subsequent purchases if
necessary) made pursuant to a Letter, shares of the Fund equal in value up to 5%
of the intended purchase amount specified in the Letter shall be held in escrow
by the Transfer Agent. For example, if the intended purchase amount is $50,000,
the escrow shall be shares valued in the amount of $2,500 (computed at the
offering price adjusted for a $50,000 purchase). Any dividends and capital gains
distributions on the escrowed shares will be credited to the investor's account.

2. If the total minimum investment specified under the Letter is
completed within the thirteen-month Letter of Intent period, the escrowed shares
will be promptly released to the investor.

3. If, at the end of the thirteen-month Letter of Intent period
the total purchases pursuant to the Letter are less than the intended purchase
amount specified in the Letter, the investor must remit to the Distributor an
amount equal to the difference between the dollar amount of sales charges
actually paid and the amount of sales charges which would have been paid if the
total amount purchased had been made at a single time. That sales charge
adjustment will apply to any shares redeemed prior to the completion of the
Letter. If the difference in sales charges is not paid within twenty days after
a request from the Distributor or the dealer, the Distributor will, within sixty
days of the expiration of the Letter, redeem the number of escrowed shares
necessary to realize such difference in sales charges. Full and fractional
shares remaining after such redemption will be released from escrow. If a
request is received to redeem escrowed shares prior to the payment of such
additional sales charge, the sales charge will be withheld from the redemption
proceeds.

4. By signing the Letter, the investor irrevocably constitutes and appoints
the Transfer Agent as attorney-in-fact to surrender for redemption any or all
escrowed shares.

5. The shares eligible for purchase under the Letter (or the holding of
which may be counted toward completion of a Letter) include: (a) Class A shares
sold with a front-end sales charge or subject to a Class A contingent deferred
sales charge, (b) Class B shares of other Oppenheimer funds acquired subject to
a contingent deferred sales charge, and (c) Class A or Class B shares acquired
by exchange of either (1) Class A shares of one of the other Oppenheimer funds
that were acquired subject to a Class A initial or contingent deferred sales
charge or (2) Class B shares of one of the other Oppenheimer funds that were
acquired subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

6. Shares held in escrow hereunder will automatically be exchanged for
shares of another fund to which an exchange is requested, as described in the
section of the Prospectus entitled "How to Exchange Shares" and the escrow will
be transferred to that other fund.

Asset Builder Plans. To establish an Asset Builder Plan to buy shares directly
from a bank account, you must enclose a check (the minimum is $25) for the
initial purchase with your application. Shares purchased by Asset Builder Plan
payments from bank accounts are subject to the redemption restrictions for
recent purchases described in the Prospectus. Asset Builder Plans are available
only if your bank is an ACH member. Asset Builder Plans may not be used to buy
shares for OppenheimerFunds employer-sponsored qualified retirement accounts.
Asset Builder Plans also enable shareholders of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves to use
their fund account to make monthly automatic purchases of shares of up to four
other Oppenheimer funds.

If you make payments from your bank account to purchase shares of the
Fund, your bank account will be debited automatically. Normally, the debit will
be made two business days prior to the investment dates you selected on your
Application. Neither the Distributor, the Transfer Agent nor the Fund shall be
responsible for any delays in purchasing shares that result from delays in ACH
transmissions.

Before you establish Asset Builder payments, you should obtain a
prospectus of the selected fund(s) from your financial advisor (or the
Distributor) and request an application from the Distributor. Complete the
application and return it. You may change the amount of your Asset Builder
payment or you can terminate these automatic investments at any time by writing
to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent requires a reasonable period
(approximately 10 days) after receipt of your instructions to implement them.
The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend, or discontinue offering Asset
Builder plans at any time without prior notice.

Retirement Plans. Certain types of Retirement Plans are entitled to purchase
shares of the Fund without sales charge or at reduced sales charge rates, as
described in Appendix C to this Statement of Additional Information. Certain
special sales charge arrangements described in that Appendix apply to retirement
plans whose records are maintained on a daily valuation basis by Merrill Lynch
Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. or an independent record keeper that has a contract
or special arrangement with Merrill Lynch. If on the date the plan sponsor
signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement the plan has less than
$3 million in assets (other than assets invested in money market funds) invested
in applicable investments, then the retirement plan may purchase only Class B
shares of the Oppenheimer funds. Any retirement plans in that category that
currently invest in Class B shares of the Fund will have their Class B shares
converted to Class A shares of the Fund when the Plan's applicable investments
reach $5 million.

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 value of the Fund's shares on
the cancellation date is less than on the purchase date. That loss is equal to
the amount of the decline in the net asset value per share multiplied by the
number of shares in the purchase order. The investor is responsible for that
loss. If the investor fails to compensate the Fund for the loss, the Distributor
will do so. The Fund may reimburse the Distributor for that amount by redeeming
shares from any account registered in that investor's name, or the Fund or the
Distributor may seek other redress.

Classes of Shares. Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in
the same portfolio of investments of the Fund. However, each class has different
shareholder privileges and features. The net income attributable to Class B,
Class C, Class N or Class Y shares and the dividends payable on Class B, Class
C, Class N or Class Y shares will be reduced by incremental expenses borne
solely by that class. Those expenses include the asset-based sales charges to
which Class B, Class C and Class N shares are subject.

The availability of different classes of shares permits an investor to
choose the method of purchasing shares that is more appropriate for the
investor. That may depend on the amount of the purchase, the length of time the
investor expects to hold shares, and other relevant circumstances. Class A
shares normally are sold subject to an initial sales charge. While Class B and
Class C shares have no initial sales charge, the purpose of the deferred sales
charge and asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares is
the same as that of the initial sales charge on Class A shares - to compensate
the Distributor and brokers, dealers and financial institutions that sell shares
of the Fund. A salesperson who is entitled to receive compensation from his or
her firm for selling Fund shares may receive different levels of compensation
for selling one class of shares than another.

The Distributor will not accept any order in the amount of $500,000 or
more for Class B shares or $1 million or more for Class C shares on behalf of a
single investor (not including dealer "street name" or omnibus accounts). That
is because generally it will be more advantageous for that investor to purchase
Class A shares of the Fund.

|_| Class B Conversion. Under current interpretations of applicable
federal income tax law by the Internal Revenue Service, the conversion of Class
B shares to Class A shares after six years 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.

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

The methodology for calculating the net asset value, dividends and
distributions of the Fund's share classes recognizes two types of expenses.
General expenses that do not pertain specifically to any one class are allocated
pro rata to the shares of all classes. The allocation is based on the percentage
of the Fund's total assets that is represented by the assets of each class, and
then equally to each outstanding share within a given class. Such general
expenses include management fees, legal, bookkeeping and audit fees, printing
and mailing costs of shareholder reports, Prospectuses, Statements of Additional
Information and other materials for current shareholders, fees to unaffiliated
Trustees, custodian expenses, share issuance costs, organization and start-up
costs, interest, taxes and brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses,
such as litigation costs.

Other expenses that are directly attributable to a particular class are
allocated equally to each outstanding share within that class. Examples of such
expenses include distribution and service plan (12b-1) fees, transfer and
shareholder servicing agent fees and expenses and shareholder meeting expenses
(to the extent that such expenses pertain only to a specific class).

Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share. The net asset values per share of
each class of shares of the Fund are determined as of the close of business of
The New York Stock Exchange on each day that the Exchange is open. The
calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets attributable
to a class by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The
Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., New York time, but may close earlier on
some other days (for example, in case of weather emergencies or on days falling
before a holiday). The Exchange's most recent annual announcement (which is
subject to change) states that it will close on New Year's Day, Presidents' Day,
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor
Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.

Dealers other than Exchange members may conduct trading in certain
securities on days on which the Exchange is closed (including weekends and
holidays) or after 4:00 P.M. on a regular business day. The Fund's net asset
values will not be calculated on those days and the values of some of the Fund's
portfolio securities may change significantly on these days, when shareholders
may not purchase or redeem shares. Additionally, trading on European and Asian
stock exchanges and over-the-counter markets normally is completed before the
close of The New York Stock Exchange.

Changes in the values of securities traded on foreign exchanges or
markets as a result of events that occur after the prices of those securities
are determined, but before the close of The New York Stock Exchange, will not be
reflected in the Fund's calculation of its net asset values that day unless the
Manager determines that the event is likely to effect a material change in the
value of the security. The Manager may make that determination, under procedures
established by the Board.

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

|_| Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or on NASDAQ are
valued as follows: (1) if last sale information is regularly reported, they are
valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which they
are traded or on NASDAQ, as applicable, on that day, or

(2) if last sale information is not available on a valuation date, they are
valued at the last reported sale price preceding the valuation date if it is
within the spread of the closing "bid" and "asked" prices on the valuation date
or, if not, at the closing "bid" price on the valuation date.

|_| Equity securities traded on a foreign securities exchange generally
are valued in one of the following ways: (1) at the last sale price available to
the pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, or (2) at the last sale
price obtained by the Manager from the report of the principal exchange on which
the security is traded at its last trading session on or immediately before the
valuation date, or

(3) at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices obtained from the
principal exchange on which the security is traded or, on the basis of
reasonable inquiry, from two market makers in the security.

|_| Long-term debt securities having a remaining maturity in excess of
60 days are valued based on the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices
determined by a portfolio pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of
Trustees 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
of Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the
security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:

(1) debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when issued,

(2) debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and
have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and (3) non-money market debt
instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and which have a
remaining maturity of 60 days or less.

|_| The following securities are valued at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts: (1) money market debt
securities held by a non-money market fund that had a maturity of less than 397
days when issued that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, and

(2) debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining
maturity of 397 days or less.

|_| Securities (including restricted securities) not having
readily-available market quotations are valued at fair value determined under
the Board's procedures. If the Manager is unable to locate two market makers
willing to give quotes, a security may be priced at the mean between the "bid"
and "asked" prices provided by a single active market maker (which in certain
cases may be the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available).

In the case of U.S. government securities, mortgage-backed securities,
corporate bonds and foreign government securities, when last sale information is
not generally available, the Manager may use pricing services approved by the
Board of Trustees. The pricing service may use "matrix" comparisons to the
prices for comparable instruments on the basis of quality, yield and maturity.
Other special factors may be involved (such as the tax-exempt status of the
interest paid by municipal securities). The Manager will monitor the accuracy of
the pricing services. That monitoring may include comparing prices used for
portfolio valuation to actual sales prices of selected securities.

The closing prices in the London foreign exchange market on a
particular business day that are provided to the Manager by a bank, dealer or
pricing service that the Manager has determined to be reliable are used to value
foreign currency, including forward contracts, and to convert to U.S. dollars
securities that are denominated in foreign currency.

Puts, calls, and futures are valued at the last sale price on the
principal exchange on which they are traded or on Nasdaq, as applicable, as
determined by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees or by the
Manager. If there were no sales that day, they shall be valued at the last sale
price on the preceding trading day if it is within the spread of the closing
"bid" and "asked" prices on the principal exchange or on Nasdaq on the valuation
date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the principal exchange
or on Nasdaq on the valuation date. If the put, call or future is not traded on
an exchange or on Nasdaq, it shall be valued by the mean between "bid" and
"asked" prices obtained by the Manager from two active market makers. In certain
cases that may be at the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available.

When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received
is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset. An
equivalent credit is included in the liability section. The credit is adjusted
("marked-to-market") to reflect the current market value of the option. In
determining the Fund's gain on investments, if a call or put written by the Fund
is exercised, the proceeds are increased by the premium received. If a call or
put written by the Fund expires, the Fund has a gain in the amount of the
premium. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, it will have a
gain or loss, depending on whether the premium received was more or less than
the cost of the closing transaction. If the Fund exercises a put it holds, the
amount the Fund receives on its sale of the underlying investment is reduced by
the amount of premium paid by the Fund.

How to Sell Shares

Information on how to sell shares of the Fund is stated in the
Prospectus. The information below provides additional information about the
procedures and conditions for redeeming shares.

Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may
reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of:

|_| Class A shares purchased subject to an initial sales charge or Class A
shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or

|_| Class B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred
sales charge when redeemed.

The reinvestment may be made without sales charge only in Class A
shares of the Fund or any of the other Oppenheimer funds into which shares of
the Fund are exchangeable as described in "How to Exchange Shares" below.
Reinvestment will be at the net asset value next computed after the Transfer
Agent receives the reinvestment order. The shareholder must ask the Transfer
Agent for that privilege at the time of reinvestment. This privilege does not
apply to Class C or Class Y shares. The Fund may amend, suspend or cease
offering this reinvestment privilege at any time as to shares redeemed after the
date of such amendment, suspension or cessation.

Any capital gain that was realized when the shares were redeemed is
taxable, and reinvestment will not alter any capital gains tax payable on that
gain. If there has been a capital loss on the redemption, some or all of the
loss may not be tax deductible, depending on the timing and amount of the
reinvestment. Under the Internal Revenue Code, if the redemption proceeds of
Fund shares on which a sales charge was paid are reinvested in shares of the
Fund or another of the Oppenheimer funds within 90 days of payment of the sales
charge, the shareholder's basis in the shares of the Fund that were redeemed may
not include the amount of the sales charge paid. That would reduce the loss or
increase the gain recognized from the redemption. However, in that case the
sales charge would be added to the basis of the shares acquired by the
reinvestment of the redemption proceeds.

Payments "In Kind". The Prospectus states that payment for shares tendered for
redemption is ordinarily made in cash. However, the Board of Trustees of the
Fund may determine that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the
remaining shareholders of the Fund to make payment of a redemption order wholly
or partly in cash. In that case, the Fund may pay the redemption proceeds in
whole or in part by a distribution "in kind" of liquid securities from the
portfolio of the Fund, in lieu of cash.

The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment
Company Act. Under that rule, the Fund is obligated to redeem shares solely in
cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of the Fund during any
90-day period for any one shareholder. If shares are redeemed in kind, the
redeeming shareholder might incur brokerage or other costs in selling the
securities for cash. The Fund will value securities used to pay redemptions in
kind using the same method the Fund uses to value its portfolio securities
described above under "Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share." That
valuation will be made as of the time the redemption price is determined.

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board of Trustees has the right to cause the
involuntary redemption of the shares held in any account if the aggregate net
asset value of those shares is less than $500 or such lesser amount as the Board
may fix. The Board will not cause the involuntary redemption of shares in an
account if the aggregate net asset value of such shares has fallen below the
stated minimum solely as a result of market fluctuations. If the Board exercises
this right, it may also fix the requirements for any notice to be given to the
shareholders in question (not less than 30 days). The Board may alternatively
set requirements for the shareholder to increase the investment, or set other
terms and conditions so that the shares would not be involuntarily redeemed.

Transfers of Shares. A transfer of shares to a different registration is not an
event that triggers the payment of sales charges. Therefore, shares are not
subject to the payment of a contingent deferred sales charge of any class at the
time of transfer to the name of another person or entity. It does not matter
whether the transfer occurs by absolute assignment, gift or bequest, as long as
it does not involve, directly or indirectly, a public sale of the shares. When
shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge are transferred, the
transferred shares will remain subject to the contingent deferred sales charge.
It will be calculated as if the transferee shareholder had acquired the
transferred shares in the same manner and at the same time as the transferring
shareholder.

If less than all shares held in an account are transferred, and some
but not all shares in the account would be subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge if redeemed at the time of transfer, the priorities described in
the Prospectus under "How to Buy Shares" for the imposition of the Class B,
Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in
determining the order in which shares are transferred.

Distributions From Retirement Plans. Requests for distributions from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial plans, 401(k) plans or
pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to "Trustee,
OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its address listed
in "How To Sell Shares" in the Prospectus or on the back cover of this Statement
of Additional Information. The request must (1) state the reason for the
distribution;

(2)state the owner's awareness of tax penalties if the distribution is
premature; and
(3)conform to the requirements of the plan and the Fund's other
redemption requirements.

Participants (other than self-employed persons) in
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored pension or profit-sharing plans with shares of the
Fund held in the name of the plan or its fiduciary may not directly request
redemption of their accounts. The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign the
request.

Distributions from pension and profit sharing plans are subject to
special requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and certain documents
(available from the Transfer Agent) must be completed and submitted to the
Transfer Agent before the distribution may be made. Distributions from
retirement plans are subject to withholding requirements under the Internal
Revenue Code, and IRS Form W-4P (available from the Transfer Agent) must be
submitted to the Transfer Agent with the distribution request, or the
distribution may be delayed. Unless the shareholder has provided the Transfer
Agent with a certified tax identification number, the Internal Revenue Code
requires that tax be withheld from any distribution even if the shareholder
elects not to have tax withheld. The Fund, the Manager, the Distributor, and the
Transfer Agent assume no responsibility to determine whether a distribution
satisfies the conditions of applicable tax laws and will not be responsible for
any tax penalties assessed in connection with a distribution.

Special Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers. The
Distributor is the Fund's agent to repurchase its shares from authorized dealers
or brokers on behalf of their customers. Shareholders should contact their
broker or dealer to arrange this type of redemption. The repurchase price per
share will be the net asset value next computed after the Distributor receives
an order placed by the dealer or broker. However, if the Distributor receives a
repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the close of The New York Stock
Exchange on a regular business day, it will be processed at that day's net asset
value if the order was received by the dealer or broker from its customers prior
to the time the Exchange closes. Normally, the Exchange closes at 4:00 P.M., but
may do so earlier on some days. Additionally, the order must have been
transmitted to and received by the Distributor prior to its close of business
that day (normally 5:00 P.M.).

Ordinarily, for accounts redeemed by a broker-dealer under this
procedure, payment will be made within three business days after the shares have
been redeemed upon the Distributor's receipt of the required redemption
documents in proper form. The signature(s) of the registered owners on the
redemption documents must be guaranteed as described in the Prospectus.

Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans. Investors owning shares of the Fund
valued at $5,000 or more can authorize the Transfer Agent to redeem shares
(having a value of at least $50) automatically on a monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Shares will be
redeemed three business days prior to the date requested by the shareholder for
receipt of the payment. Automatic withdrawals of up to $1,500 per month may be
requested by telephone if payments are to be made by check payable to all
shareholders of record. Payments must also be sent to the address of record for
the account and the address must not have been changed within the prior 30 days.
Required minimum distributions from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored retirement plans
may not be arranged on this basis.

Payments are normally made by check, but shareholders having
AccountLink privileges (see "How To Buy Shares") may arrange to have Automatic
Withdrawal Plan payments transferred to the bank account designated on the
Account Application or by signature-guaranteed instructions sent to the Transfer
Agent. Shares are normally redeemed pursuant to an Automatic Withdrawal Plan
three business days before the payment transmittal date you select in the
Account Application. If a contingent deferred sales charge applies to the
redemption, the amount of the check or payment will be reduced accordingly.

The Fund cannot guarantee receipt of a payment on the date requested.
The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering these
plans at any time without prior notice. Because of the sales charge assessed on
Class A share purchases, shareholders should not make regular additional Class A
share purchases while participating in an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Class B and
Class C shareholders should not establish withdrawal plans, because of the
imposition of the contingent deferred sales charge on such withdrawals (except
where the contingent deferred sales charge is waived as described in Appendix C
to this Statement of Additional Information.

By requesting an Automatic Withdrawal or Exchange Plan, the shareholder
agrees to the terms and conditions that apply to such plans, as stated below.
These provisions may be amended from time to time by the Fund and/or the
Distributor. When adopted, any amendments will automatically apply to existing
Plans.

|X| Automatic Exchange Plans. Shareholders can authorize the Transfer
Agent to exchange a pre-determined amount of shares of the Fund for shares (of
the same class) of other Oppenheimer funds automatically on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Exchange Plan. The
minimum amount that may be exchanged to each other fund account is $25.
Instructions should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds Application or
signature-guaranteed instructions. Exchanges made under these plans are subject
to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in "How to Exchange
Shares" in the Prospectus and below in this Statement of Additional Information.

|X| Automatic Withdrawal Plans. Fund shares will be redeemed as
necessary to meet withdrawal payments. Shares acquired without a sales charge
will be redeemed first. Shares acquired with reinvested dividends and capital
gains distributions will be redeemed next, followed by shares acquired with a
sales charge, to the extent necessary to make withdrawal payments. Depending
upon the amount withdrawn, the investor's principal may be depleted. Payments
made under these plans should not be considered as a yield or income on your
investment.

The Transfer Agent will administer the investor's Automatic Withdrawal
Plan as agent for the shareholder(s) (the "Planholder") who executed the Plan
authorization and application submitted to the Transfer Agent. Neither the Fund
nor the Transfer Agent shall incur any liability to the Planholder for any
action taken or not taken by the Transfer Agent in good faith to administer the
Plan. Share certificates will not be issued for shares of the Fund purchased for
and held under the Plan, but the Transfer Agent will credit all such shares to
the account of the Planholder on the records of the Fund. Any share certificates
held by a Planholder may be surrendered unendorsed to the Transfer Agent with
the Plan application so that the shares represented by the certificate may be
held under the Plan.

For accounts subject to Automatic Withdrawal Plans, distributions of
capital gains must be reinvested in shares of the Fund, which will be done at
net asset value without a sales charge. Dividends on shares held in the account
may be paid in cash or reinvested.

Shares will be redeemed to make withdrawal payments at the net asset
value per share determined on the redemption date. Checks or AccountLink
payments representing the proceeds of Plan withdrawals will normally be
transmitted three business days prior to the date selected for receipt of the
payment, according to the choice specified in writing by the Planholder. Receipt
of payment on the date selected cannot be guaranteed.

The amount and the interval of disbursement payments and the address to
which checks are to be mailed or AccountLink payments are to be sent may be
changed at any time by the Planholder by writing to the Transfer Agent. The
Planholder should allow at least two weeks' time after mailing such notification
for the requested change to be put in effect. The Planholder may, at any time,
instruct the Transfer Agent by written notice to redeem all, or any part of, the
shares held under the Plan. That notice must be in proper form in accordance
with the requirements of the then-current Prospectus of the Fund. In that case,
the Transfer Agent will redeem the number of shares requested at the net asset
value per share in effect and will mail a check for the proceeds to the
Planholder.

The Planholder may terminate a Plan at any time by writing to the
Transfer Agent. The Fund may also give directions to the Transfer Agent to
terminate a Plan. The Transfer Agent will also terminate a Plan upon its receipt
of evidence satisfactory to it that the Planholder has died or is legally
incapacitated. Upon termination of a Plan by the Transfer Agent or the Fund,
shares that have not been redeemed will be held in uncertificated form in the
name of the Planholder. The account will continue as a dividend-reinvestment,
uncertificated account unless and until proper instructions are received from
the Planholder, his or her executor or guardian, or another authorized person.

To use shares held under the Plan as collateral for a debt, the
Planholder may request issuance of a portion of the shares in certificated form.
Upon written request from the Planholder, the Transfer Agent will determine the
number of shares for which a certificate may be issued without causing the
withdrawal checks to stop. However, should such uncertificated shares become
exhausted, Plan withdrawals will terminate.

If the Transfer Agent ceases to act as transfer agent for the Fund, the
Planholder will be deemed to have appointed any successor transfer agent to act
as agent in administering the Plan.

How to Exchange Shares

As stated in the Prospectus, shares of a particular class of
Oppenheimer funds having more than one class of shares may be exchanged only for
shares of the same class of other Oppenheimer funds. Shares of Oppenheimer funds
that have a single class without a class designation are deemed "Class A" shares
for this purpose. You can obtain a current list showing which funds offer which
classes by calling the Distributor at 1-800-525-7048.

o All of the Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class A, B and C
shares except Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc., Centennial Money
Market Trust, Centennial Tax Exempt Trust, Centennial Government
Trust, Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust, Centennial California
Tax Exempt Trust, and Centennial America Fund, L.P., which only
offer Class A shares.

o Oppenheimer Main Street California Municipal Fund currently offers
only Class A and Class B shares.

o Class B and Class C shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves are
generally available only by exchange from the same class of shares
of other Oppenheimer funds or through OppenheimerFunds-sponsored
401 (k) plans.

o Only certain Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class Y shares. Class
Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be exchanged for
shares of any other fund.

o Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund may be
exchanged only for Class A shares of other Oppenheimer funds. They
may not be acquired by exchange of shares of any class of any other
Oppenheimer funds except Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market
Fund or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves acquired by exchange of Class M
shares.

o Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are not
available by exchange of shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund or
Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves. If any Class A shares of
another Oppenheimer fund that are exchanged for Class A shares of
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are subject to the Class A
contingent deferred sales charge of the other Oppenheimer fund at the
time of exchange, the holding period for that Class A contingent
deferred sales charge will carry over to the Class A shares of
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired in the exchange. The
Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired in
that exchange will be subject to the Class A Early Withdrawal Charge
of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund if they are repurchased
before the expiration of the holding period.

o Class X shares of Limited Term New York Municipal Fund can be
exchanged only for Class B shares of other Oppenheimer funds and no
exchanges may be made to Class X shares.

o Shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund may not be exchanged
for shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc., Oppenheimer Cash
Reserves or Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund. Only
participants in certain retirement plans may purchase shares of
Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund, and only those participants
may exchange shares of other Oppenheimer funds for shares of
Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund.

Class A shares of Oppenheimer funds may be exchanged at net asset value
for shares of any money market fund offered by the Distributor. Shares of any
money market fund purchased without a sales charge may be exchanged for shares
of Oppenheimer funds offered with a sales charge upon payment of the sales
charge. They may also be used to purchase shares of Oppenheimer funds subject to
a contingent deferred sales charge.

Shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. purchased with the
redemption proceeds of shares of other mutual funds (other than funds managed by
the Manager or its subsidiaries) redeemed within the 30 days prior to that
purchase may subsequently be exchanged for shares of other Oppenheimer funds
without being subject to an initial or contingent deferred sales charge. To
qualify for that privilege, the investor or the investor's dealer must notify
the Distributor of eligibility for this privilege at the time the shares of
Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. are purchased. If requested, they must
supply proof of entitlement to this privilege.

Shares of the Fund acquired by reinvestment of dividends or
distributions from any of the other Oppenheimer funds or from any unit
investment trust for which reinvestment arrangements have been made with the
Distributor may be exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the
Oppenheimer funds.

|_| How Exchanges Affect Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. No
contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on exchanges of shares of any class
purchased subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. However, when Class A
shares acquired by exchange of Class A shares of other Oppenheimer funds
purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed
within 18 months of the end of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the
exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is
imposed on the redeemed shares. The Class B contingent deferred sales charge is
imposed on Class B shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 6
years of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares. The Class C
contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class C shares acquired by
exchange if they are redeemed within 12 months of the initial purchase of the
exchanged Class C shares. With respect to Class N shares, if you redeem your
shares within 18 months of the retirement plan's first purchase or the
retirement plan eliminates the Fund as a plan investment option within 18 months
of selecting the Fund, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge will be imposed on
the plan.

When Class B or Class C shares are redeemed to effect an exchange, the
priorities described in "How To Buy Shares" in the Prospectus for the imposition
of the Class B or the Class C contingent deferred sales charge will be followed
in determining the order in which the shares are exchanged. Before exchanging
shares, shareholders should take into account how the exchange may affect any
contingent deferred sales charge that might be imposed in the subsequent
redemption of remaining shares. Shareholders owning shares of more than one
class must specify which class of shares they wish to exchange.

|_| Limits on Multiple Exchange Orders. The Fund reserves the right to
reject telephone or written exchange requests submitted in bulk by anyone on
behalf of more than one account. The Fund may accept requests for exchanges of
up to 50 accounts per day from representatives of authorized dealers that
qualify for this privilege.

|_| 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.

|_| Processing Exchange Requests. Shares to be exchanged are redeemed
on the regular business day the Transfer Agent receives an exchange request in
proper form (the "Redemption Date"). Normally, shares of the fund to be acquired
are purchased on the Redemption Date, but such purchases may be delayed by
either fund up to five business days if it determines that it would be
disadvantaged by an immediate transfer of the redemption proceeds. The Fund
reserves the right, in its discretion, to refuse any exchange request that may
disadvantage it. For example, if the receipt of multiple exchange requests from
a dealer might require the disposition of portfolio securities at a time or at a
price that might be disadvantageous to the Fund, the Fund may refuse the
request. When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to another,
any special account feature such as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic
Withdrawal Plan, will be switched to the new fund account unless you tell the
Transfer Agent not to do so. However, special redemption and exchange features
such as Automatic Exchange Plans and Automatic Withdrawal Plans cannot be
switched to an account in Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund.

In connection with any exchange request, the number of shares exchanged
may be less than the number requested if the exchange or the number requested
would include shares subject to a restriction cited in the Prospectus or this
Statement of Additional Information, or would include shares covered by a share
certificate that is not tendered with the request. In those cases, only the
shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.

The different Oppenheimer funds available for exchange have different
investment objectives, policies and risks. A shareholder should assure that the
fund selected is appropriate for his or her investment and should be aware of
the tax consequences of an exchange. For federal income tax purposes, an
exchange transaction is treated as a redemption of shares of one fund and a
purchase of shares of another. "Reinvestment Privilege," above, discusses some
of the tax consequences of reinvestment of redemption proceeds in such cases.
The Fund, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent are unable to provide
investment, tax or legal advice to a shareholder in connection with an exchange
request or any other investment transaction.

Under certain tax rules, the Fund may be required to include an amount
in income with respect to a security even though the Fund does not receive
payments in cash attributable to such income in respect of the security during
the year. For example, a Portfolio may be required to accrue a portion of any
discount at which it purchases a debt security as income in each year. In
addition, if the Fund invests in any equity security of a non-U.S. corporation
classified as a "passive foreign investment company" for U.S. tax purposes, the
application of certain technical tax provisions applying to investments in such
companies may result in the Fund being required to accrue income in respect of
the security without any receipt of cash attributable to such income. To the
extent that the Fund invests in any securities producing such "phantom income",
the Fund will nonetheless be required to make income distributions of such
phantom income in order to avoid taxation of such income at the Fund level. Such
distributions will be required to be made from available cash of the Fund or by
liquidation of Fund securities if necessary. If a distribution of cash
necessitates the liquidation of Fund securities if necessary. If a distribution
of cash necessitates the liquidation of Fund securities, the Fund may realize a
gain or loss from such sales. Any net capital gains realized from such
transactions may result in larger capital gain distributions (if any) to
shareholders than they would have received in the absence of such transactions.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends and Distributions. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and there can
be no assurance as to the payment of any dividends or the realization of any
capital gains. The dividends and distributions paid by a class of shares will
vary from time to time depending on market conditions, the composition of the
Fund's portfolio, and expenses borne by the Fund or borne separately by a class.
Dividends are calculated in the same manner, at the same time, and on the same
day for each class of shares. However, dividends on Class B and Class C shares
are expected to be lower than dividends on Class A and Class Y shares. That is
because of the effect of the asset-based sales charge on Class B and Class C
shares. Those dividends will also differ in amount as a consequence of any
difference in the net asset values of the different classes of shares.

Dividends, distributions and proceeds of the redemption of Fund shares
represented by checks returned to the Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as
undeliverable will be invested in shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.
Reinvestment will be made as promptly as possible after the return of such
checks to the Transfer Agent, to enable the investor to earn a return on
otherwise idle funds. Unclaimed accounts may be subject to state escheatment
laws, and the Fund and the Transfer Agent will not be liable to shareholders or
their representatives for compliance with those laws in good faith.

Tax Status of the Fund's Dividends and Distributions. The Federal tax treatment
of the Fund's dividends and capital gains distributions is briefly highlighted
in the Prospectus.

Special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code govern the
eligibility of the Fund's dividends for the dividends-received deduction for
corporate shareholders. Long-term capital gains distributions are not eligible
for the deduction. The amount of dividends paid by the Fund that may qualify for
the deduction is limited to the aggregate amount of qualifying dividends that
the Fund derives from portfolio investments that the Fund has held for a minimum
period, usually 46 days. A corporate shareholder will not be eligible for the
deduction on dividends paid on Fund shares held for 45 days or less. To the
extent the Fund's dividends are derived from gross income from option premiums,
interest income or short-term gains from the sale of securities or dividends
from foreign corporations, those dividends will not qualify for the deduction.

Under the Internal Revenue Code, by December 31 each year, the Fund
must distribute 98% of its taxable investment income earned from January 1
through December 31 of that year and 98% of its capital gains realized in the
period from November 1 of the prior year through October 31 of the current year.
If it does not, the Fund must pay an excise tax on the amounts not distributed.
It is presently anticipated that the Fund will meet those requirements. However,
the Board of Trustees and the Manager might determine in a particular year that
it would be in the best interests of shareholders for the Fund not to make such
distributions at the required levels and to pay the excise tax on the
undistributed amounts. That would reduce the amount of income or capital gains
available for distribution to shareholders.

The Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under
the Internal Revenue Code (although it reserves the right not to qualify). That
qualification enables the Fund to "pass through" its income and realized capital
gains to shareholders without having to pay tax on them. This avoids a double
tax on that income and capital gains, since shareholders normally will be taxed
on the dividends and capital gains they receive from the Fund (unless the Fund's
shares are held in a retirement account or the shareholder is otherwise exempt
from tax). If the Fund qualifies as a "regulated investment company" under the
Internal Revenue Code, it will not be liable for Federal income taxes on amounts
paid by it as dividends and distributions. The Internal Revenue Code contains a
number of complex tests relating to qualification which the Fund might not meet
in any particular year. If it did not so qualify, the Fund would be treated for
tax purposes as an ordinary corporation and receive no tax deduction for
payments made to shareholders.

If prior distributions made by the Fund must be re-characterized as a
non-taxable return of capital at the end of the fiscal year as a result of the
effect of the Fund's investment policies, they will be identified as such in
notices sent to shareholders.

Dividend Reinvestment in Another Fund. Shareholders of the Fund may elect to
reinvest all dividends and/or capital gains distributions in shares of the same
class of any of the other Oppenheimer funds listed above. Reinvestment will be
made without sales charge at the net asset value per share in effect at the
close of business on the payable date of the dividend or distribution. To elect
this option, the shareholder must notify the Transfer Agent in writing and must
have an existing account in the fund selected for reinvestment. Otherwise the
shareholder first must obtain a prospectus for that fund and an application from
the Distributor to establish an account. Dividends and/or distributions from
shares of certain other Oppenheimer funds (other than Oppenheimer Cash Reserves)
may be invested in shares of this Fund on the same basis.

Additional Information About the Fund

The Distributor. The Fund's shares are sold through dealers, brokers and other
financial institutions that have a sales agreement with OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager that acts as the Fund's
Distributor. The Distributor also distributes shares of the other Oppenheimer
funds and is sub-distributor for funds managed by a subsidiary of the Manager.

The Transfer Agent. OppenheimerFunds Services, the Fund's Transfer Agent, is a
division of the Manager. It is responsible for maintaining the Fund's
shareholder registry and shareholder accounting records, and for paying
dividends and distributions to shareholders. It also handles shareholder
servicing and administrative functions. It acts on an "at-cost" basis. It also
acts as shareholder servicing agent for the other Oppenheimer funds.
Shareholders should direct inquiries about their accounts to the Transfer Agent
at the address and toll-free numbers shown on the back cover.

The Custodian. The Bank of New York is the custodian of the Fund's assets. The
custodian bank's responsibilities include safeguarding and controlling the
Fund's portfolio securities and handling the delivery of such securities to and
from the Fund. It will be the practice of the Fund to deal with the custodian
bank in a manner uninfluenced by any banking relationship the custodian bank may
have with the Manager and its affiliates. The Fund's cash balances with the
custodian in excess of $100,000 are not protected by Federal deposit insurance.
Those uninsured balances at times may be substantial.

Independent Auditors. Deloitte & Touche LLP are the independent auditors of the
Fund. They audit the Fund's financial statements and perform other related audit
services. They also act as auditors for the Manager and certain other funds
advised by the Manager and its affiliates.

--------
1. No commission will be paid on sales of Class A shares purchased with the
redemption proceeds of shares of another mutual fund offered as an investment
option in a retirement plan in which Oppenheimer funds are also offered as
investment options under a special arrangement with the Distributor, if the
purchase occurs more than 30 days after the Oppenheimer funds are added as an
investment option under that plan. In applying the contingent deferred sales
charge, all purchases are considered to have been made on the first regular
business day of the month in which the purchase was made.

Appendix A

RATINGS DEFINITIONS

Below are summaries of the rating definitions used by the nationally-recognized
rating agencies listed below. Those ratings represent the opinion of the agency
as to the credit quality of issues that they rate. The summaries below are based
upon publicly-available information provided by the rating organizations.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long-Term (Taxable) Bond Ratings

Aaa: Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be the best quality. They carry the smallest
degree of investment risk. Interest payments are protected by a large or by an
exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various
protective elements are likely to change, the changes that can be expected are
most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa: Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together
with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds.
They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not
be as large as with Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be
of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the
long-term risks appear somewhat larger than those of Aaa securities.

A: Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be
considered as upper-medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

Baa: Bonds rated Baa are considered medium grade obligations; that is, they are
neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal
security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be
lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time.
Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative
characteristics as well.

Ba: Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements. Their future cannot
be considered well-assured. Often the protection of interest and principal
payments may be very moderate and not well safeguarded during both good and bad
times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this
class.

B: Bonds rated B generally lack characteristics of desirable investment.
Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of
the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa: Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing and may be in default or there may be
present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.

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

C: Bonds rated C are the lowest class of rated bonds and can be regarded as
having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating
classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier "1" indicates that the
obligation ranks in the higher end of its category; the modifier "2" indicates a
mid-range ranking and the modifier "3" indicates a ranking in the lower end of
the category.

Short-Term Ratings - Taxable Debt

These ratings apply to the ability of issuers to repay punctually senior debt
obligations having an original maturity not exceeding one year:

Prime-1: Issuer has a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt
obligations.

Prime-2: Issuer has a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt
obligations. Earnings trends and coverage, while sound, may be subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Prime-3: Issuer has an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term
obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions may
be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in
changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require relatively
high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.

Not Prime: Issuer does not fall within any Prime rating category.

Standard & Poor's Rating Services
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-Term Credit Ratings

AAA: Bonds rated "AAA" have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is
extremely strong.

AA: Bonds rated "AA" differ from the highest rated obligations only in small
degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation is very strong.

A: Bonds rated "A" are somewhat more susceptible to 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: Bonds rated BBB exhibit adequate protection parameters. However, adverse
economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation.

Bonds 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: Bonds rated BB are less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative
issues. However, these face major 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: A bond rated B is more vulnerable to nonpayment than an obligation rated BB,
but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation.

CCC: A bond rated CCC 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. 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 used where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or similar
action has been taken, but payments on this obligation are being continued.

D: Bonds rated D are in default. Payments on the obligation are not being made
on the date due.

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. The
"r" symbol is attached to the ratings of instruments with significant noncredit
risks.

Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings

A-1: Rated in the highest category. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation is strong. Within this category, a plus (+) sign
designation indicates the issuer's capacity to meet its financial obligation is
very strong.

A-2: Obligation 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: 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: 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: 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: In payment default. Payments on the obligation have not been made on the due
date. The rating may also be used if a bankruptcy petition has been filed or
similar actions jeopardize payments on the obligation.

Fitch, Inc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
International Long-Term Credit 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 rates in this category are not
investment grade.

B: Highly Speculative. "B" ratings indicate that significant credit risk is
present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are
currently being met. However, capacity for continued payment is contingent upon
a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

CCC, CC C: High Default Risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for
meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable
business or economic developments. A "CC" rating indicates that default of some
kind appears probable. "C" ratings signal imminent default.

DDD, DD, and D: Default. The ratings of obligations in this category are based
on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a reorganization or
liquidation of the obligor. While expected recovery values are highly
speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the following serve as
general guidelines. `DDD' obligations have the highest potential for recovery,
around 90%-100% of outstanding amounts and accrued interest. `DD' indicates
potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%, and `D' the lowest recovery
potential, i.e., below 50%.

Entities rated in this category have defaulted on some or all of their
obligations. Entities rated 'DDD' have the highest prospect for resumption of
performance or continued operation with or without a formal reorganization
process. Entities rated `DD' and `D' are generally undergoing a formal
reorganization or liquidation process; those rated `DD' are likely to satisfy a
higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated `D' have a
poor prospect for repaying all obligations.

Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating symbol to denote
relative status within the major rating categories. Plus and minus signs are not
added to the "AAA" category or to categories below "CCC," nor to short-term
ratings other than "F1" (see below).

International Short-Term Credit Ratings

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.

Appendix C

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A
shares1 of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge that
may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.2 That is because
of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds Distributor,
Inc., (referred to in this document as the "Distributor"), or by dealers or
other financial institutions that offer those shares to certain classes of
investors.

Not all waivers apply to all funds. For example, waivers relating to Retirement
Plans do not apply to Oppenheimer municipal funds, because shares of those funds
are not available for purchase by or on behalf of retirement plans. Other
waivers apply only to shareholders of certain funds.

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information of the applicable Oppenheimer funds, the
term "Retirement Plan" refers to the following types of plans: (1) plans
qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, (2)
non-qualified deferred compensation plans, (3) employee benefit plans3 (4) Group
Retirement Plans4 (5) 403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts (6) 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.

--------------
1. Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of
Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund.
2. In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a
continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to contingent deferred
sales charges mean the Fund's Early Withdrawal Charges and references to
"redemptions" mean "repurchases" of shares.

3. An "employee benefit plan" means any plan or arrangement, whether or not it
is "qualified" under the Internal Revenue Code, under which Class A shares
of an Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a fiduciary or other
administrator for the account of participants who are employees of a single
employer or of affiliated employers. These may include, for example,
medical savings accounts, payroll deduction plans or similar plans. The
fund accounts must be registered in the name of the fiduciary or
administrator purchasing the shares for the benefit of participants in the
plan.

4. The term "Group Retirement Plan" means any qualified or
non-qualified retirement plan for employees of a corporation or sole
proprietorship, members and employees of a partnership or association or
other organized group of persons (the members of which may include other
groups), if the group has made special arrangements with the Distributor
and all members of the group participating in (or who are eligible to
participate in) the plan purchase Class A shares of an Oppenheimer fund or
funds through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial
institution designated by the group. Such plans include 457 plans,
SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and 403(b) plans other than plans for
public school employees. The term "Group Retirement Plan" also includes
qualified retirement plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans
and IRAs that purchase Class A shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds
through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution
that has made special arrangements with the Distributor enabling those
plans to purchase Class A shares at net asset value but subject to the
Class A contingent deferred sales charge. I. Applicability of Class A
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases

Purchases of Class A Shares of Oppenheimer Funds That Are Not Subject to Initial
Sales Charge but May Be Subject to the Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
(unless a waiver applies).

There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any
of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases may
be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within 18
months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, as described in the
Prospectus (unless a waiver described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the
redemption). Additionally, on shares purchased under these waivers that are
subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the Distributor will
pay the applicable commission described in the Prospectus under "Class A
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."4 This waiver provision applies to:

|_| Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more.

|_| Purchases by a Retirement Plan (other than an IRA or 403(b)(7) custodial
plan) that: (1) buys shares costing $500,000 or more, or (2) has, at the time of
purchase, 100 or more eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or
more, or (3) certifies to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan
purchases of $200,000 or more. |_| Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored
Rollover IRA, if the purchases are made:

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

(2) by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified Retirement Plan if
the administrator of that Plan has made special arrangements with the
Distributor for those purchases.

|_| Purchases of Class A shares by Retirement Plans that have any of the
following record-keeping arrangements:

(1) The record keeping is performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith,
Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") on a daily valuation basis for the Retirement Plan. On
the date the plan sponsor signs the record-keeping service agreement with
Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more of its assets invested in
(a) mutual funds, other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch Asset
Management, L.P. ("MLAM"), 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 MLAM (the funds described in
(a) and (b) are referred to as "Applicable Investments").

(2) The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily valuation
basis by a record keeper whose services are provided under a contract or
arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan
sponsor signs the record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan
must have $3 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money
market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.

(3) The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service
agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan sponsor signs that
agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as determined by the
Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).

|_| Purchases by a Retirement Plan whose record keeper had a
cost-allocation agreement with the Transfer Agent on or before May 1, 1999.

Funds Who Were Shareholders of Former Quest for Value Funds

The initial and contingent deferred sales charge rates and waivers for Class A,
Class B and Class C shares described in the Prospectus or Statement of
Additional Information of the Oppenheimer funds are modified as described below
for certain persons who were shareholders of the former Quest for Value Funds.
To be eligible, those persons must have been shareholders on November 24, 1995,
when OppenheimerFunds, Inc. became the investment advisor to those former Quest
for Value Funds. Those funds include:

<PAGE>

Oppenheimer Quest Value Fund, Inc. Oppenheimer Quest Small Cap Value Fund
Oppenheimer Quest Balanced Value Fund Oppenheimer Quest Global Value Fund
Oppenheimer Quest Opportunity Value Fund

These arrangements also apply to shareholders of the following funds
when they merged (were reorganized) into various Oppenheimer funds on November
24, 1995:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C>

Quest for Value U.S. Government Income Fund Quest for Value New York Tax-Exempt Fund
Quest for Value Investment Quality Income Fund Quest for Value National Tax-Exempt Fund
Quest for Value Global Income Fund Quest for Value California Tax-Exempt Fund
</TABLE>

All of the funds listed above are referred to in this Appendix as the
"Former Quest for Value Funds." The waivers of initial and contingent deferred
sales charges described in this Appendix apply to shares of an Oppenheimer fund
that are either:

|_| acquired by such shareholder pursuant to an exchange of shares of an
Oppenheimer fund that was one of the Former Quest for Value Funds, or

|_| purchased by such shareholder by exchange of shares of another Oppenheimer
fund that were acquired pursuant to the merger of any of the Former Quest for
Value Funds into that other Oppenheimer fund on November 24, 1995.

A. Reductions or Waivers of Class A Sales Charges.

|X| Reduced Class A Initial Sales Charge Rates for Certain Former Quest
for Value Funds Shareholders.

Purchases by Groups and Associations. The following table sets forth the initial
sales charge rates for Class A shares purchased by members of "Associations"
formed for any purpose other than the purchase of securities. The rates in the
table apply if that Association purchased shares of any of the Former Quest for
Value Funds or received a proposal to purchase such shares from OCC Distributors
prior to November 24, 1995.

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

At least 10 but not more 2.00% 2.04% 1.60%
than 49
------------------------------ ---------------------------- ---------------------------- ----------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

For purchases by Associations having 50 or more eligible employees or
members, there is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares, but
those shares are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge
described in the applicable fund's Prospectus.

Purchases made under this arrangement qualify for the lower of either
the sales charge rate in the table based on the number of members of an
Association, or the sales charge rate that applies under the Right of
Accumulation described in the applicable fund's Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information. Individuals who qualify under this arrangement for
reduced sales charge rates as members of Associations also may purchase shares
for their individual or custodial accounts at these reduced sales charge rates,
upon request to the Distributor.

|X| Waiver of Class A Sales Charges for Certain Shareholders. Class A
shares purchased by the following investors are not subject to any Class A
initial or contingent deferred sales charges: |_| Shareholders who were

shares of any of the

Former Quest for Value Funds by merger of a portfolio of the
AMA Family of Funds.

|_| Shareholders who acquired shares of any Former Quest for Value Fund by
merger of any of the portfolios of the Unified Funds.

|X| Waiver of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge in Certain

permitted to receive a sales load or redemption fee imposed on a shareholder
with whom that dealer has a fiduciary relationship, under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and regulations adopted under that law.

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

|X| Waivers for Redemptions of Shares Purchased Prior to March 6, 1995.
In the following cases, the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for
redemptions of Class A, Class B or Class C shares of an Oppenheimer fund. The
shares must have been acquired by the merger of a Former Quest for Value Fund
into the fund or by exchange from an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Quest
for Value Fund or into which such fund merged. Those shares must have been
purchased prior to March 6, 1995 in connection with: |_| withdrawals under an
automatic withdrawal plan holding only either Class B or Class C shares if the
annual withdrawal does not exceed 10% of the initial value of the account value,
adjusted annually, and

|_| liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value of
shares held in the account is less than the required minimum value of such
accounts.

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

|_| redemptions following the death or disability of the shareholder(s) (as

value of the account value annually measured at the time the plan is

|_| liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value of
shares held in the account is less than the required minimum account value.

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

V. Special Sales Charge Arrangements for Shareholders of Certain Oppenheimer
Funds Who Were Shareholders of Connecticut Mutual Investment Accounts, Inc.

The initial and contingent deferred sale charge rates and waivers for Class A

</TABLE>

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

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

Those shareholders who are eligible for the prior Class A CDSC are:

(1) persons whose purchases of Class A shares of a Fund and other Former
Connecticut Mutual Funds were $500,000 prior to March 18, 1996, as a result of
direct purchases or purchases pursuant to the Fund's policies on Combined
Purchases or Rights of Accumulation, who still hold those shares in that Fund or
other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and

(2) persons whose intended purchases under a Statement of Intention entered
into prior to March 18, 1996, with the former general distributor of the Former
Connecticut Mutual Funds to purchase shares valued at $500,000 or more over a
13-month period entitled those persons to purchase shares at net asset value
without being subject to the Class A initial sales charge.

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

|_| Class A Sales Charge Waivers. Additional Class A shares of a Fund
may be purchased without a sales charge, by a person who was in one (or more) of
the categories below and acquired Class A shares prior to March 18, 1996, and
still holds Class A shares: (1) any purchaser, provided the total initial amount
invested in the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual

Funds totaled $500,000 or more, including investments made pursuant to the
Combined Purchases, Statement of Intention and Rights of Accumulation features
available at the time of the initial purchase and such investment is still held
in one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds or a Fund into which such
Fund merged;

(2) any participant in a qualified plan, provided that the total initial amount
invested by the plan in the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut
Mutual Funds totaled $500,000 or more;

(3) Directors of the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual
Funds and members of their immediate families;

(4) employee benefit plans sponsored by Connecticut Mutual Financial Services,
L.L.C. ("CMFS"), the prior distributor of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds,
and its affiliated companies;

(5) one or more members of a group of at least 1,000 persons (and persons who
are retirees from such group) engaged in a common
business, profession, civic or charitable endeavor or other activity, and the
spouses and minor dependent children of such persons, pursuant to a marketing
program between CMFS and such group; and

(6) an institution acting as a fiduciary on behalf of an individual or
individuals, if such institution was directly compensated by the individual(s)
for recommending the purchase of the shares of the Fund or any one or more of
the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, provided the institution had an agreement
with CMFS.

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

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

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

In addition to the waivers set forth in the Prospectus and in this Appendix,
above, the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for redemptions of
Class A and Class B shares of a Fund and exchanges of Class A or Class B shares
of a Fund into Class A or Class B shares of a Former Connecticut Mutual Fund
provided that the Class A or Class B shares of the Fund to be redeemed or
exchanged were (i) acquired prior to March 18, 1996 or (ii) were acquired by
exchange from an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Connecticut Mutual Fund.
Additionally, the shares of such Former Connecticut Mutual Fund must have been
purchased prior to March 18, 1996:

(1) by the estate of a deceased shareholder;
(2) upon the disability of a shareholder, as defined in Section 72(m)(7)
of the Internal Revenue Code;
(3) for retirement distributions (or loans) to participants or
beneficiaries from retirement plans qualified under Sections
401(a) or 403(b)(7)of the Code, or from IRAs, deferred
compensation plans created under Section 457 of the Code, or
other employee benefit plans;

(4) as tax-free returns of excess contributions to such retirement or
employee benefit plans;

(5) in whole or in part, in connection with shares sold to any state,
county, or city, or any instrumentality, department, authority, or agency
thereof, that is prohibited by applicable investment laws from paying a sales
charge or commission in connection with the purchase of shares of any registered
investment management company;

(6) in connection with the redemption of shares of the Fund due to a combination
with another investment company by virtue of a merger, acquisition or similar
reorganization transaction;

(7) in connection with the Fund's right to involuntarily redeem or liquidate the
Fund;

(8) in connection with automatic redemptions of Class A shares and Class B
shares in certain retirement plan accounts pursuant to an Automatic Withdrawal
Plan but limited to no more than 12% of the original value annually; or

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

VI. Special Reduced Sales Charge for Former Shareholders of
Advance America Funds, Inc.

Shareholders of Oppenheimer Municipal Bond Fund, Oppenheimer U.S. Government
Trust, Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund and Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund who
acquired (and still hold) shares of those funds as a result of the
reorganization of series of Advance America Funds, Inc. into those Oppenheimer
funds on October 18, 1991, and who held shares of Advance America Funds, Inc. on
March 30, 1990, may purchase Class A shares of those four Oppenheimer funds at a
maximum sales charge rate of 4.50%.

Convertible Securities Fund

section) may sell Class M shares at net asset value without any initial sales

None.

Item 25. - Indemnification

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

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

Item 26. - Business and Other Connections of the Investment Adviser

(a) OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is the investment adviser of the Registrant; it and
certain subsidiaries and affiliates act in the same capacity to other investment
companies, including without limitation those described in Parts A and B hereof

(b) There is set forth below information as to any other business, profession,
vocation or employment of a substantial nature in which each officer and
director of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is, or at any time during the past two fiscal
years has been, engaged for his/her own account or in the capacity of director,
officer, employee, partner or trustee.
