Preliminary Copy - For the Information of the Securities and Exchange Commission Only OPPENHEIMER TARGET FUND Two World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048-0203 1-800-525-7048 PROXY STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held June 20, 1995 INTRODUCTION General This Proxy Statement and Prospectus is being furnished to the shareholders of Oppenheimer Time Fund (the "Fund"), a registered management investment company, in connection with the solicitation by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board") of proxies to be used at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund to be held at 3410 South Galena Street, Denver, Colorado 80231, at 10:00 A.M., Denver time, on June 20, 1995, or any adjournments thereof (the "Meeting"). It is expected that the mailing of this Proxy Statement and Prospectus will commence on or about May 14, 1995. At the Meeting, shareholders of the Fund will be asked to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") between the Fund and Oppenheimer Target Fund, including the transfer of substantially all the assets of the Fund (consisting of Class A shares) in exchange for Class A shares of Target Fund, the distribution of such Class A shares to the shareholders of the Fund in complete liquidation of the Fund, the deregistration of the Fund as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), and the cancellation of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Target Fund currently offers Class A shares with a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase (certain purchases aggregating $1.0 million or more are not subject to a sales charge, but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge). Target Fund also offers Class C shares which are offered without a sales or front-end sales charge, although an investor may pay a sales charge when shares are redeemed, depending on how long they are held. A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on most Class C shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The Class A shares to be issued by Target Fund pursuant to the Reorganization will be issued at net asset value without a sales charge. Record Date; Vote Required; Share Information The Board has fixed the close of business on April 21, 1995 as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. An affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting is required for approval of the Proposal. Each shareholder will be entitled to one vote for each share and a fractional vote for each fractional share held of record at the close of business on the Record Date. Only shareholders of the Fund will vote on the Reorganization. The vote of shareholders of Target Fund is not being solicited. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were approximately _____________ shares of the Fund issued and outstanding. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of such shares constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. To the knowledge of the Fund, as of the Record Date, no person owned of record or beneficially 5% or more of its outstanding shares except for____________________________________________, which owned of record ___________ shares of the Fund (___% of the outstanding shares of the Fund as of such date). As of the Record Date, to the knowledge of Target Fund, no person owned of record or beneficially 5% or more of its outstanding shares except for _____________, which owned of record ___________ shares of Target Fund (___% of the outstanding shares of Target Fund as of such date). Proxies The enclosed form of proxy, if properly executed and returned, will be voted (or counted as an abstention or withheld from voting) in accordance with the choices specified thereon, and will be included in determining whether there is quorum to conduct the Meeting. The proxy will be voted in favor of the Proposal unless a choice is indicated to vote against or to abstain from voting on the Proposal. Shares owned of record by broker-dealers for the benefit of their customers ("street account shares") will be voted by the broker-dealer based on instructions received from its customers. If no instructions are received, the broker-dealer may (if permitted under applicable stock exchange rules), as record holder, vote such shares on the Proposal in the same proportion as that broker-dealer votes street account shares for which voting instructions were received in time to be voted. If a shareholder executes and returns a proxy but fails to indicate how the votes should be cast, the proxy will be voted in favor of the Proposal. The proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the voting thereof by: (i) writing to the Secretary of the Fund at Two World Trade Center, 34th Floor, New York, New York 10048-0203; (ii) attending the Meeting and voting in person; or (iii) signing and returning a new proxy (if returned and received in time to be voted). Costs of the Solicitation and the Reorganization All expenses of this solicitation, including the cost of printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and Prospectus, will be borne by the Fund. Any documents such as existing prospectuses or annual reports that are included in that mailing will be a cost of the fund issuing the document. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, proxies may be solicited by officers of the Fund or officers and employees of OSS, personally or by telephone or telegraph. Any expenses so incurred will be borne by OSS. Brokerage houses, banks and other fiduciaries may be requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares of the Fund and to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. For those services, if any, they will be reimbursed by the Fund for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. With respect to the Reorganization, the Fund and Target Fund will bear the cost of their respective tax opinion. Any other out-of-pocket expenses of the Fund and Target Fund associated with the Reorganization, including legal, accounting and transfer agent expenses, will be borne by the Fund and Target Fund, respectively, in the amounts so incurred by each. COMPARATIVE FEE TABLE The Fund and Target Fund each pay a variety of expenses directly for management of their assets, administration, distribution of their shares and other services, and those expenses reflected in each fund's net asset value per share. Shareholders pay other expenses directly, such as sales charges. [Enlarge/Download Table] Oppenheimer Oppenheimer Target Fund Time Fund Class A Class C Class A Maximum Sales Charge on Purchases (as a % of offering price) 5.75% None 5.75% Sales Charge on Reinvested Dividends None None None Deferred Sales Charge (as a % of the lower of the original purchase price or redemption proceeds) None(1) 1.0%(2) None(1) <FN> (1)If you invest more than $1 million in Class A shares, you may have to pay a sales charge of up to 1% if you sell your shares within 18 calendar months from the end of the calendar month during which you purchased those shares. (2)If you redeem Class C shares within 12 months of buying them, you may have to pay a 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge. The sales charge on purchases of the Fund, and the sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of Target Fund, are identical, and are not expected to change as a result of the reorganization. The following numbers are projections of each fund's business expenses for the period ended December 31, 1994. These amounts are shown as a percentage of the average net assets of each class of a fund's shares for that year. The pro forma fees reflect the combined funds at December 31, 1994, as if the Reorganization had occurred on that date. [Enlarge/Download Table] Pro forma Oppenheimer Oppenheimer Combined Target Fund Time Fund Fund Class A Class C Class A Class A Class C Management Fees 0.74%+ 0.74%+ 0.74% 0.71% 0.71% 12b-1 Service Plan Fees 0.17%* 1.00% 0.16%* 0.16% 1.00% Other Expenses 0.30% 0.42% 0.26% 0.27% 0.39% Total Fund Operating 1.21% 2.16% 1.16% 1.14% 2.10% Expenses <FN> + Management fees for Target Fund have been restated in the fee table because the annual fees on the first and second $200 million of net assets decreased to .75% and .70%, respectively, on July 1, 1994. The fees in the table are based on expenses that would have been incurred if the lower management rate had been in effect for the twelve months ended December 31, 1994. * The 12b-1 Service Plan fees for Target Fund have been restated in the table because an amended Service Plan for Target Fund shares took effect July 1, 1994. That applies to all shares of the Fund, regardless of the date on which the shares were purchased. The fees in the table are based on expenses that would have been incurred if that plan had been in effect during the twelve months ended December 31, 1994. Actual management fees for Target Fund would have been .76%, other expenses were .30% and actual 12b-1 Service Plan fees would have been .10% and actual total operating expenses would have been 1.16%. The 12b-1 Service Plan fees for Time Fund have been restated for the same reasons as described above. The actual 12b-1 Service Plan fees would have been .11%, other expenses were .26% and the actual total fund operating expenses would have been 1.11%. Target Fund's 12b-1 Service Plan fees for its Class C shares includes an asset-based sales charge. To try and show the effect of these expenses, on an investment over time, the hypotheticals shown below have been created. Assume that you make a $1,000 investment in either the Fund or Target Fund or the new combined fund and that the annual return is 5% and that the operating expenses for each fund are the ones shown in the chart above. If you were to redeem your shares at the end of each period shown below, your investment would incur the following expenses by the end of each period shown: [Enlarge/Download Table] 1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years(1) Oppenheimer Target Fund Class A Shares $69 $94 $120 $196 Class C Shares $32 $68 $116 $249 Oppenheimer Time Fund Class A Shares $69 $92 $118 $190 Pro Forma Combined Fund Class A Shares $68 $92 $117 $188 Class C Shares $31 $66 $113 $243 If you did not redeem your investment, it would incur the following expenses: 1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years(1) Oppenheimer Target Fund Class A Shares $69 $94 $120 $196 Class C Shares $22 $68 $116 $249 Oppenheimer Time Fund Class A Shares $69 $68 $118 $190 Pro Forma Combined Fund Class A Shares $68 $92 $117 $188 Class C Shares $21 $66 $113 $243 <FN> (1)Because of the asset-based sales charge imposed on Class C shares of Target Fund, long-term shareholders of Class C shares could bear expenses that would be the economic equivalent of an amount greater than the maximum front-end sales charges permitted under applicable regulatory requirements. SYNOPSIS The following is a synopsis of certain information contained in or incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement and Prospectus and presents key considerations for shareholders of the Fund to assist them in determining whether to approve the Reorganization. This synopsis is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information contained in or incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement and Prospectus and the Annex hereto. Shareholders should carefully review this Proxy Statement and Prospectus and the Annex hereto in their entirety and, in particular, the current Prospectus of Target Fund which accompanies this Proxy Statement and Prospectus and is incorporated by reference herein. Parties to the Reorganization The Fund is a diversified, open-end, management investment company. Target Fund is a diversified, open-end, management investment company which was reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust on ______________, 1987. The Fund and Target Fund are each located at Two World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048-0203. The members of the Board of the Fund and the Board of Trustees of Target Fund are the same. Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the "Manager") acts as investment adviser to the Fund and Target Fund (collectively referred to herein as the "funds"). Additional information about the parties is set forth below. The Reorganization The Reorganization Agreement provides for the transfer of substantially all the assets of the Fund, consisting of Class A shares, to Target Fund in exchange for Class A shares of Target Fund. The net asset value of Target Fund's Class A shares issued in the exchange will equal the value of the assets of the Fund received by Target Fund. Following the Closing Date (as hereafter defined) scheduled for the Reorganization, the Fund will distribute the Class A shares of Target Fund received by the Fund on the Closing Date to holders of Fund shares issued and outstanding as of the Valuation Date (as hereinafter defined) in complete liquidation of the Fund and the Fund will thereafter be dissolved and deregistered under the Investment Company Act. As a result of the Reorganization, each Fund shareholder will receive that number of full and fractional Target Fund, Class A shares equal in value to such shareholder's pro rata interest in the assets transferred to Target Fund as of the Valuation Date. The Board has determined that the interests of existing Fund shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. For the reasons set forth below under "The Reorganization - Reasons for the Reorganization," the Board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund (the "Independent Trustees'), as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act, has concluded that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and recommends approval of the Reorganization by Fund shareholders. If the Reorganization is not approved, the Fund will continue in existence and the Board will determine whether to pursue alternative actions. Reasons for the Reorganization The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the "Board"), including the Independent Trustees, at a meeting held on March 16, 1995, unanimously approved and recommended to the shareholders of the Fund that they approve the Reorganization and Reorganization Agreement. In considering the Reorganization, the Board compared the Fund to Target Fund with respect to size, investment objectives, management fees and performance. Both the Fund and Target Fund are equity funds sharing similar investment objectives of seeking capital appreciation through emphasis on securities of "growth-type companies." Each of the funds seeks its investment objective by investing in common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and rights and warrants which vary in proportion from time to time. Both funds may invest in stocks that are sensitive to changes in the business cycle, known as "cyclicals" if they present opportunities for long term growth. The funds do not invest to seek current income to pay shareholders. Among other factors, the Board took into consideration that the schedule of management fee rates are identical for both funds. The Board also considered pro forma financial information which indicated that the average management fee rate paid by shareholders in a combined fund would likely be lower and that the expense ratio would be lower for Class A shareholders of the combined fund. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, the expense ratio for Time Fund was .94% of average annual net assets. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, the expense ratio was 1.16% of the average annual net assets for Class A shares of Target Fund and it was 2.18% of the average annual net assets for Class C shares. With respect to the six months ended December 31, 1994, the expense ratio for Time Fund was 1.29% of the average annual net assets (annualized). For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, on a pro forma basis, giving effect to the Reorganization, the expense ratio for Target Fund as the surviving fund, would be 1.14% of the average annual net assets for Class A shares and 2.10% of the average annual net assets for Class C shares. The Board also considered that the Fund consists solely of Class A shares, while Target Fund offers Class A shares and Class C shares. Class A shares of the Fund could easily be exchanged for Class A shares of Target Fund. The Board compared the size of each fund. As of March 15, 1995, the net assets of the Fund were approximately $311 million and the net assets of Target Fund were approximately $317 million. While the funds are similar in size, it is expected that over time, Target Fund will continue to grow and become the larger fund. In the month of February, the Fund had over 7 million in net redemptions while Target Fund had over 5 million in net purchases. In addition, as a result of the Reorganization, the combined fund will be much larger and shareholders of the Fund should benefit from the economies of scale available to a larger fund. These economies of scale should result in lower costs per account for each shareholder through lower operating expenses and transfer agency expenses. The Board also considered that there would be no sales charge imposed in effecting the Reorganization, and that the Reorganization would be effected as a tax-free exchange. The Board determined that it would be in the best interests of Time Fund and its shareholders to combine with Target Fund. The Board also determined that combining the funds would not result in a dilution of the interests of Time Fund shareholders. In determining to recommend approval of the reorganization to shareholders, the Board also considered information on the historical performance of both funds. Target Fund has enjoyed significantly better performance than the Fund, for the one and five year periods ended December 31, 1994. Although past performance is not predictive of future results the Board determined that the shareholders of the Fund would have the opportunity to be shareholders in a similar fund with more favorable past performance. Tax Consequences of the Reorganization In the opinion of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("Peat Marwick"), tax adviser to the Fund, the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for Federal income tax purposes. As a result, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Fund, Target Fund, or the shareholders of the combined fund for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reorganization. For further information about the tax consequences of the Reorganization, see "Approval of the Reorganization - Tax Aspects" below. Investment Objectives and Policies As its investment objective, both the Fund and Target Fund seek capital appreciation. The Fund seeks its investment objective of capital appreciation by emphasizing investment in "mid-capitalization" companies (those generally with capitalization between $500 million and $5 billion, also known as "mid-cap" companies) that are, in the Manager's opinion, established, well managed companies with strong market positions, high quality products and high earnings growth potential that have a proven ability to translate growth in sales and market share into earnings. The Fund's investments include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and rights and warrants in proportions which vary from time to time. Of the companies whose stocks the Fund held during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, some are categorized as "consumer cyclicals" that do well in the early to middle stages of the economic cycle; some fall into the technology sectors, others are classified as financial services issues. In every case, however, sector classifications are less important selection criteria for the Fund than specific company characteristics. Target Fund seeks its investment objective of capital appreciation by emphasizing investment in common stocks or other equity securities, including convertible securities or may, just as with the Fund, hold warrants and rights. Target Fund may also seek to take advantage of changes in the business cycle by investing in companies that are sensitive to those changes, if the Manager believes they present opportunities for long-term growth. For example, when the economy is expanding, companies in the financial services and consumer products industries may be in a position to benefit from changes in the business cycle and may present long-term growth opportunities. Both the Fund and Target Fund may purchase equity and debt securities issued or guaranteed by foreign companies or foreign governments or their agencies. The Fund may purchase securities in any country, developed or underdeveloped. There is no limit on the amount of assets each fund may invest in foreign securities, although as to Target Fund, it does not normally "expect" to have more than 35% of its assets invested in foreign securities. Foreign currency will be held by each fund only in connection with the purchase or sale of foreign securities. The Manager considers many identical factors, when investing the assets of the Fund or the assets of Target Fund, including general economic conditions in the U.S. relative to foreign economies, and the trends in domestic and foreign stock markets. Each of the funds may try to hedge against losses in the value of its portfolio of securities by using hedging strategies. When market conditions are unstable, each of the funds may invest substantial amounts of their assets in debt securities, such as money market instruments or government securities. The Manager may, with respect to both funds, invest in securities of companies that are in special situations that the Manager believes presents opportunities for capital growth, such as a proposed merger or reorganization. There is a risk that the price of a security may decline if the anticipated development fails to occur. There is no restriction on the amount of assets that each fund may invest in special situations. Because the type of securities each fund invests in, and the investment techniques each fund uses, some of which may be speculative, both funds are designed for investors who are willing to accept greater risks of loss of their capital in the hope of achieving capital appreciation. Neither fund is intended for investors seeking assured income and preservation of capital. Investment Advisory and Distribution Plan Fees The funds both obtain investment management services from Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the "Manager"). The management fee is payable monthly and computed on the net asset value of each fund as of the close of business each day. The Fund pays a management fee at the rate of 0.75% of the first $200 million of net assets, 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 aggregate assets over $800 million. Target Fund pays the identical management fee rate, however, prior to July 1, 1994 the annual management fee rate for Target Fund on the first and second $200 million of the Target Funds aggregate net assets was 0.80% and 0.75% respectively. That rate was lowered subsequent to July 1, 1994 and Target Fund and the Fund now have the same management fee rates. Both the Fund and Target Fund have service plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act. Specifically, Target Fund has adopted a service plan for its Class A shares and a Distribution and Service Plan for its Class C shares to compensate the Distributor for its services and costs in distributing Class C shares and servicing accounts. Fund shareholders, as a result of the reorganization will become Class A shareholders of Target Fund and will not be affected by the Distribution and Service Plan for Class C shares. The Service Plan adopted by the Fund, and the Service Plan adopted by Target Fund for its Class A shares (the "Service Plan") provide that each of the funds reimburses Oppenheimer Funds Distributor, Inc. (the "Distributor"), the distributor of each fund's shares, quarterly for all or a portion of the Distributor's costs incurred in connection with the personal service and maintenance of shareholder accounts that hold the funds' shares. Time Fund amended its Service Plan, effective July 1, 1994. The Service Plan, as amended, applies to all shares of the Fund regardless of the date on which they were purchased. The current maximum annual fee payable by Time Fund pursuant to its service plan is 0.25% of the average net asset value of the Fund's shares, and for Target Fund it is 0.25% of the average net assets of Class A shares, computed as of the close of each business day. See "Comparison Between the Fund and Target Fund - Expense Ratios and Performance" below. Purchases, Exchanges and Redemptions The Fund and Target Fund are part of the OppenheimerFunds complex of mutual funds. The procedures for purchases, exchanges and redemptions of shares of the funds are substantially the same. The maximum sales charge on shares of the Fund and Class A shares of Target Fund is 5.75%, and is reduced for purchases of $25,000 or more. For certain purchases of $1 million or more, the funds do not charge a front-end sales charge but impose a contingent deferred sales charge of a maximum of 1% on shares redeemed within 18 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase. Shares of Target Fund received in the Reorganization will be issued at net asset value, without a sales charge. Shareholders may purchase through AccountLink (whereby funds are transmitted electronically from an account at a U.S. bank or other financial institution that is an Automated Clearing House (ACH) up to $100,000. Shareholders of the funds may exchange their shares at net asset value for shares of any of over 30 equity, fixed-income and money market funds for which the Distributor or an affiliate acts as the distributor. Shares of any money market fund purchased without a sales charge may be exchanged for shares of a fund offered with a sales charge upon payment of the sales charge. However, shares of a particular class may be exchanged only for shares of the same class in other OppenheimerFunds. For example, shareholders of the Fund can only exchange their Class A shares for Class A shares of another fund. Shareholders of the funds may redeem their shares by written request or by telephone request in an amount up to $50,000 in any seven-day period, or they may arrange to have share redemption proceeds wired to a pre-designated account at a U.S. bank or other financial institution that is an ACH member ("AccountLink redemption"). Shareholders may redeem shares automatically by calling PhoneLink and having redemption proceeds wired to a pre-established AccountLink bank account. Shareholders of the funds may reinvest redemption proceeds within six months of a redemption at net asset value in shares of the funds or any of numerous "Eligible Funds" within the OppenheimerFunds complex. The Fund and Target Fund may redeem accounts valued at less than $500 and $200, respectively, if the account has fallen below such stated amount for reasons other than market value fluctuations. Both funds offer Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans. PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS In evaluating whether to approve the Reorganization and invest in Target Fund, shareholders should carefully consider the following risk factors, which is a summary only, relating to both Target Fund and the Fund, in addition to the other information set forth in this Proxy Statement and Prospectus and the more complete description of risk factors set forth in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including the Prospectuses of the funds and their respective Statements of Additional Information. As stated in their respective Prospectuses, as a general matter, the Fund and Target Fund are both intended for investors seeking capital appreciation who are willing to accept greater risks of loss in the hopes of greater gains. The funds do not invest to seek current income to pay shareholders. There is no assurance that either the Fund or Target Fund will achieve its investment objective. Investment By The Funds in Foreign Securities Each of the funds may invest in "foreign securities" which include equity and debt securities of companies organized under the laws of countries other than the United States and debt securities of foreign governments that are traded on foreign securities exchanges or in the foreign over- the-counter market. The funds may purchase securities country, developed or undeveloped. There is no limit on the amount of each fund assets that may be invested in foreign securities, however, Target Fund normally does not expect to have more than 35% of its assets invested in foreign securities. The Fund may write and purchase both covered and uncovered calls and puts on foreign currencies. The Fund may also enter into Forward Contracts to protect against uncertainty in the level of future exchange rates. Investments in foreign securities present special additional risks and considerations not typically associated with instruments in domestic securities. For example, foreign issuers are not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to. The value of foreign instruments may be affected by changes in foreign currency rates, exchange control regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign taxes, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in governmental, economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political and economic factors. Other risks include reduction of income by foreign taxes; fluctuation in value of foreign portfolio investments due to changes in currency rates and control regulations (e.g., currency blockage); transaction charges for currency exchange; lack of public information about foreign issuers; lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers; less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges; greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the U.S.; less regulation of foreign issuers, stock exchanges and brokers than in the U.S.; greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits; higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.; increased risks of delays in settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates for portfolio securities; possibilities in some countries of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political, financial or social instability or adverse diplomatic developments; and 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. Investment In Growth Type Companies The funds both seek their investment of capital appreciation by emphasizing investment in "growth-type" companies. Specifically, the Fund invests in "mid-capitalization" companies those generally with capitalization between $500 million and $5 billion, also known as "mid- cap" companies. With respect to Target Fund, the Manager may emphasize investment in companies in particular ranges of size. Both funds may invest in companies of any size and capitalization, however, in general capital appreciation is more likely to be found in the securities of "growth-type" companies that have a proven ability to translate growth in sales and market shares into earnings gain. Some of the investment techniques used by the Funds (see Risks of Hedging With Options and Futures, described below) may be considered to be speculative and may increase the risks of investing in the funds, and may also increase each funds' operating costs. Special Situations Each of the funds, may invest in securities of companies that are in "special situations" that the Manager believes present opportunities for capital growth. A "special situation" may be an event such as a proposed merger, reorganization, or other unusual development that is expected to occur and which may result in an increase in the value of a company's securities regardless of general business conditions or the movement of prices in the securities market as a whole. There is a risk that the price of the security may decline if the anticipated development fails to occur. There is no limit on the amount of assets that each of the funds may invest in "special situations." Borrowing for Leverage The Fund and Target Fund may borrow up to 10% of the value of their respective total assets from banks on an unsecured basis to buy securities. This is a speculative investment method known as "leverage." Leveraging may subject an investment in the fund to greater risks and costs than funds that do not borrow. These risks may include the possible reduction of income and increased fluctuation in the fund's net asset value per share, since the fund pays interest on borrowings. Small, Unseasoned Companies. The funds may invest in securities of small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in operation for less than three years, even after including the operations of any predecessors. Securities of these companies may have limited liquidity and may be subject to volatility in their prices. Neither of the funds currently intends to invest no more than 5% of their respective net assets in securities of small, unseasoned issuers. Warrants and Rights Each of the funds may invest in warrants, which are the option to purchase stock at set prices that are valid for a limited period of time. The Fund may invest up to 2% of its total assets in warrants or rights. Target Fund may invest up to 5% of its total assets. These restrictions do not include warrants or rights that have been acquired in units or are attached to other securities. With respect to Target Fund no more than 2% of its assets may be invested in warrants that are not listed on the New York or American Stock Exchanges. Risks of Hedging With Options and Futures The funds may write covered call options and engage in hedging transactions as described below in "Comparison Between the Fund and Target Fund - Special Investment Methods". There are certain risks in writing calls. If a call written by the fund is exercised, the fund forgoes any profit from any increase in the market price above the call price of the underlying investment on which the call was written. In addition, the fund could experience capital losses which might cause previously distributed short-term capital gains to be re-characterized as a non- taxable return of capital to shareholders. In writing puts, there is the risk that the fund may be required to buy the underlying security at a disadvantageous price. The principal risks of trading futures are (i) possible imperfect correlation between the prices of the futures an the market value of the dept securities in the fund's portfolio, (ii) possible lack of a liquid secondary market for closing out a futures position, (iii) the need for additional skills and techniques beyond those required for normal portfolio management and (iv) losses on futures resulting from interest rate movements not anticipated by the Manager. Writing covered calls and the buying and selling of options and futures contracts are considered derivative investments. A derivative investment is a specially designed investment whose performance is linked to the performance of another investment or security, such as an option, future, index or currency. The risks of investing in derivative investments include not only the ability of the company issuing the instrument to pay the amount due on the maturity of the instrument, but also the risk that the underlying investment or security might not perform the way the Manager expected it to perform. The performance of derivative investments may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the U.S. and abroad. All of this can mean that the Fund will realize less income than expected. Certain derivative instruments held by the Fund and Target Fund may trade in the over-the-counter markets and may be illiquid. See "Illiquid and Restricted Securities". APPROVAL OF THE REORGANIZATION (The Proposal) Reasons for the Reorganization The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the "Board"), including the Independent Trustees, at a meeting held on March 16, 1995, unanimously approved and recommended to the shareholders of the Fund that they approve the Reorganization and Reorganization Agreement. In considering the Reorganization, the Board compared the Fund to Target Fund with respect to size, investment objectives, management fees and performance. Both the Fund and Target Fund are equity funds sharing similar investment objectives of seeking capital appreciation through emphasis on securities of "growth-type companies." Each of the funds seeks its investment objective by investing in common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and rights and warrants which vary in proportion from time to time. Both funds may invest in stocks that are sensitive to changes in the business cycle, known as "cyclicals" if they present opportunities for long term growth. The funds do not invest to seek current income to pay shareholders. Among other factors, the Board took into consideration that the schedule of management fee rates are identical for both funds. The Board also considered pro forma financial information which indicated that the average management fee rate paid by shareholders in a combined fund would likely be lower and that the expense ratio would be lower for Class A shareholders of the combined fund. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, the expense ratio for Time Fund was .94% of average annual net assets. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, the expense ratio was 1.16% of the average annual net assets for Class A shares of Target Fund and it was 2.18% of the average annual net assets for Class C shares. With respect to the six months ended December 31, 1994, the expense ratio for Time Fund was 1.29% of the average annual net assets (annualized). For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, on a pro forma basis, giving effect to the Reorganization, the expense ratio for Target Fund as the surviving fund, would be 1.14% of the average annual net assets for Class A shares and 2.10% of the average annual net assets for Class C shares. The Board also considered that the Fund consists solely of Class A shares, while Target Fund offers Class A shares and Class C shares. Class A shares of the Fund could easily be exchanged for Class A shares of Target Fund. The Board compared the size of each fund. As of March 15, 1995, the net assets of the Fund were approximately $311 million and the net assets of Target Fund were approximately $317 million. While the funds are similar in size, it is expected that over time, Target Fund will continue to grow and become the larger fund. In the month of February, the Fund had over 7 million in net redemptions while Target Fund had over 5 million in net purchases. In addition, as a result of the Reorganization, the combined fund will be much larger and shareholders of the Fund should benefit from the economies of scale available to a larger fund. These economies of scale should result in lower costs per account for each shareholder through lower operating expenses and transfer agency expenses. The Board also considered that there would be no sales charge imposed in effecting the Reorganization, and that the Reorganization would be effected as a tax-free exchange. The Board determined that it would be in the best interests of Time Fund and its shareholders to combine with Target Fund. The Board also determined that combining the funds would not result in a dilution of the interests of Time Fund shareholders. In determining to recommend approval of the reorganization to shareholders, the Board also considered information on the historical performance of both funds. Target Fund has enjoyed significantly better performance than the Fund, for the one and five year periods ended December 31, 1994. Although past performance is not predictive of future results the Board determined that the shareholders of the Fund would have the opportunity to be shareholders in a similar fund with more favorable past performance. The Reorganization The Reorganization Agreement (a copy of which is set forth in full as Annex A to this Proxy Statement and Prospectus) contemplates a reorganization under which (i) all of the assets of the Fund (other than the cash reserve described below (the "Cash Reserve")) would be transferred to Target Fund in exchange for Class A shares of Target Fund, (ii) these shares would be distributed among the shareholders of the Fund in complete liquidation of the Fund, (iii) the Fund would be deregistered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act and (iv) the outstanding shares of the Fund would be cancelled. Target Fund will not assume any of the Fund's liabilities except for portfolio securities purchased which have not settled and outstanding shareholder redemption and dividend checks. The result of effectuating the Reorganization would be that: (i) Target Fund would add to its gross assets all of the assets (net of any liability for portfolio securities purchased but not settled and outstanding shareholder redemption and dividend checks) of the Fund other than its Cash Reserve; and (ii) the shareholders of the Fund as of the close of business on the Closing Date would become shareholders of Target Fund. The effect of the Reorganization will be that shareholders of the Fund who vote their shares in favor of the Reorganization will be electing to redeem their shares of the Fund (at net asset value on the Valuation Date referred to below under "Method of Carrying Out the Reorganization Plan," calculated after subtracting the Cash Reserve) and reinvest the proceeds in Class A shares of Target Fund at net asset value without sales charge and without recognition of taxable gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes (see "Tax Aspects of the Reorganization" below). The Cash Reserve is that amount retained by the Fund which is sufficient in the discretion of the Board for the payment of: (a) the Fund's expenses of liquidation, and (b) its liabilities, other than those assumed by Target Fund. The Fund and Target Fund will bear all of their respective expenses associated with the Reorganization, as set forth under "Costs of the Solicitation and the Reorganization" above. Management estimates that such expenses associated with the Reorganization to be borne by the Fund will not exceed $_____. Liabilities as of the date of the transfer of assets will consist primarily of accrued but unpaid normal operating expenses of the Fund, excluding the cost of any portfolio securities purchased but not yet settled and outstanding shareholder redemption and dividend checks. See "Method of Carrying Out the Reorganization Plan" below. The Reorganization Agreement provides for coordination between the funds as to their respective portfolios so that, after the closing, Target Fund will be in compliance with all of its investment policies and restrictions. The Fund will recognize capital gain or loss on any sales made pursuant to this paragraph. As noted in "Tax Aspects of the Reorganization" below, if the Fund realizes net gain from the sale of securities in 1994, such gain, to the extent not offset by capital loss carry forward, will be distributed to shareholders prior to the Closing Date and will be taxable to shareholders as capital gain. Tax Aspects of the Reorganization Immediately prior to the Valuation Date referred to in the Reorganization Agreement, the Fund will pay a dividend or dividends which, together with all previous such dividends, will have the effect of distributing to the Fund shareholders all of the Fund's investment company taxable income for taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing Date (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and all of its net capital gain, if any, realized in taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing Date (after reduction for any available capital loss carry-forward). Such dividends will be included in the taxable income of the Fund's shareholders as ordinary income and capital gain, respectively. The exchange of the assets of the Fund for Class A shares of Target Fund and the assumption by Target Fund of certain liabilities of the Fund is intended to qualify for Federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Fund has represented to Peat Marwick, tax adviser to the Fund, that there is no plan or intention by any Fund shareholder who owns 5% or more of the Fund's outstanding shares, and, to the Fund's best knowledge, there is no plan or intention on the part of the remaining Fund shareholders, to redeem, sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of a number of Target Fund shares received in the transaction that would reduce the Fund shareholders' ownership of Target Fund Class A shares to a number of shares having a value, as of the Closing Date, of less than 50% of the value of all the formerly outstanding Fund shares as of the same date. The Fund and Target Fund have each further represented to Peat Marwick that, as of the Closing Date, the Fund and Target Fund will qualify as regulated investment companies or will meet the diversification test of Section 368(a)(2)(F)(ii) of the Code. As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, Target Fund and the Fund will receive the opinion of KPMG Peat Marwick, LLP to the effect that, based on the Reorganization Agreement, the above representations, existing provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, current Revenue Rulings, Revenue Procedures and court decisions, for Federal income tax purposes: 1. The transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement will qualify as a tax-free "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code. 2. The Fund and Target Fund will each qualify as "a party to a reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b)(2) of the Code. 3. No gain or loss will be recognized by the shareholders of the Fund upon the distribution of Class A shares of beneficial interest in Target Fund to the shareholders of the Fund pursuant to Section 354 of the Code. 4. Under Section 361(a) of the Code no gain or loss will be recognized by the Fund by reason of the transfer of its assets solely in exchange for Class A shares of Target Fund. 5. Under Section 1032 of the Code no gain or loss will be recognized by Target Fund by reason of the transfer of the Fund's assets solely in exchange for Class A shares of Target Fund. 6. The shareholders of the Fund will have the same tax basis and holding period for the Class A shares of beneficial interest in Target Fund that they receive as they had for the Fund stock that they previously held, pursuant to Sections 358(a) and 1223(1) of the Code, respectively. 7. The securities transferred by the Fund to Target Fund will have the same tax basis and holding period in the hands of Target Fund as they had for the Fund, pursuant to Sections 362(b) and 1223(1) of the Code, respectively. Shareholders of the Fund should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances. Since the foregoing discussion only relates to the Federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, shareholders of the Fund should also consult their tax advisers as to state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization. Capitalization Table (Unaudited) The table below sets forth the capitalization of the Fund and Target Fund and indicates the pro forma combined capitalization as of December 31, 1994 as if the Reorganization had occurred on that date.

COMPARISON BETWEEN THE FUND AND TARGET FUND Comparative information about the Fund and Target Fund is presented below. Additional information about Target Fund is set forth in its Prospectus, accompanying this Proxy Statement and Prospectus, and additional information about both funds is set forth in documents that may be obtained upon request of OSS or are available for review at the offices of the SEC. See "Miscellaneous - Public Information." Investment Objectives and Policies As its investment objective, each of the Fund and Target Fund seeks capital appreciation in the value of its shares. Current income is not an objective of either fund. In seeking their investment objectives, the Fund and Target Fund employ various investment policies as described in detail below. The Manager is the investment adviser to both the Fund and Target Fund. The Fund. The Fund seeks its investment objective of capital appreciation by emphasizing investment in "mid-capitalization" companies (those generally with capitalization between $500 million and $5 billion, also known as "mid-cap" companies) that are, in the Manager's opinion, established, well-managed companies with strong market positions, high quality products and high earnings growth potential that have a proven ability to translate growth in sales and market share into earnings gains. The Fund's investments include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and rights and warrants in proportions which vary from time to time. Of the companies whose stocks the Fund held during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, some are categorized as "consumer cyclicals" that do well in the early to middle stages of the economic cycle; some fall into the technology sector, others are considered healthcare companies and a few are classified as financial-services issues. As a group, mid-cap stocks may be more vulnerable to a weaker economy than other stock sectors. In every case, however, sector classifications are a less important selection criterion for the Fund than specific company characteristics. When investing the Fund's assets, the Manager considers many factors, including general economic conditions in the U.S. relative to foreign economies, and the trends in domestic and foreign stock markets. The Fund may try to hedge against losses in the value of its portfolio of securities by using hedging strategies described below. When market conditions are unstable, the Fund may invest substantial amounts of its assets in debt securities, such as money market instruments or government securities. Securities selected for defensive purposes may include debt rated or unrated bonds and debentures, and preferred stocks, cash or cash equivalents, such as U.S. Treasury Bills and other short-term obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or commercial paper rated "A-1" or better by Standard & Poor's Corporation or "P-1" or better by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. The Fund may enter into interest rate swaps. In an interest rate swap, the Fund and another party exchange their respective commitments to pay or receive interest on a security, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments. The Fund will not use interest rate swaps for leverage. Swap transactions will be entered into only as to security positions held by the Fund. The Fund may not enter into swap transactions with respect to more than 25% of its total assets. The Fund will segregate liquid assets equal to the net excess, if any, of its obligations over its entitlements under the swap and will mark to market that amount daily. There is a risk of loss on a swap equal to the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make. The credit risk of an interest rate swap depends on the counterparty's ability to perform. Target Fund Target Fund invests its assets to seek capital appreciation for shareholders. Target Fund does not invest to seek current income to pay to shareholders. Target Fund seeks its investment objective by emphasizing investment in common stocks or other equity securities, including convertible securities, and may hold warrants and rights. These may include securities of U.S. companies or foreign companies. Target Fund's investment adviser, Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the "Manager"), looks for securities that it believes may appreciate in value. The Fund may invest in companies of any size and capitalization, and at times the Manager may emphasize investment in companies in particular ranges of size. However, in general, capital appreciation possibilities are more likely to be found in the securities of "growth-type" companies than larger, more established companies. Target Fund may also seek to take advantage of changes in the business cycle by investing in companies that are sensitive to those changes, if the Manager believes they present opportunities for long-term growth. For example, when the economy is expanding, companies in the financial services and consumer products industries may be in a position to benefit from changes in the business cycle and may present long-term growth opportunities. When investing Target Fund's assets, the Manager considers many factors, including general economic conditions in the U.S. relative to foreign economies, and the trends in domestic and foreign stock markets. The Fund may try to hedge against losses in the value of its portfolio of securities by using hedging strategies described below. When market conditions are unstable, Target Fund may invest substantial amounts of its assets in debt securities, such as money market instruments or government securities. Securities selected for defensive purposes may include debt securities, such as rated or unrated bonds and debentures, and preferred stocks, cash or cash equivalents, such as U.S. Treasury Bills and other short-term obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or commercial paper rated "A-1" or better by Standard & Poor's Corporation or "P-1" or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. The Fund's portfolio manager may employ special investment techniques in selecting securities for the Fund. Growth companies tend to be newer companies that may be developing new products or services, or expanding into new markets for their products. While they may have what the Manager believes to be favorable prospects for the long-term, they normally retain a large part of their earnings for research, development and investment in capital assets. Therefore, they tend not to emphasize the payment of dividends. Special Investment Methods The Fund and Target Fund each use the special investment methods summarized below. Borrowing. The Fund and Target Fund may borrow up to 10% of the value of their respective total assets from banks on an unsecured basis to buy securities and invest the borrowed funds, subject to the 300% asset coverage requirement to the Investment Company Act. This is a speculative investment method known as "leveraging." Leveraging may subject an investment in the Fund to greater risks and costs than funds that do not borrow. These risks may include the possible reduction of income and increased fluctuation in a fund's net asset value per share, since the each fund pays interest on borrowings. Borrowing is subject to regulatory limits. Short Sales Against-the-Box. The funds may not sell securities short except in transactions referred to as "short sales against-the-box." No more than 15% of each funds' respective net assets will be held as collateral for such short sales at any one time. Foreign Securities. The Fund and Target Fund may purchase equity (and debt) securities issued or guaranteed by foreign companies or foreign governments or their agencies. The funds may buy securities of companies in any country, developed or underdeveloped. There is no limit on the amount of each funds' assets that may be invested in foreign securities, although Target Fund normally does not expect to have more than 35% of its assets invested in foreign securities. Foreign currency will be held by each of the funds only in connection with the purchase or sale of foreign securities. The Fund may write and purchase both covered and uncovered calls and puts on foreign currencies. The Fund may also enter into Forward Contracts to protect against uncertainty in the level of future exchange rates. If the funds' securities are held abroad, the countries in which they are held and the sub-custodians holding them must be approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. Foreign securities have special risks. For example, foreign issuers are not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to. The value of foreign investments may be affected by changes in foreign currency rates, exchange control regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign taxes, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in governmental economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political and economic factors. Writing Covered Calls. The Fund and Target Fund may write (that is, sell) covered call options (calls) to raise cash for liquidity purposes (for example, to meet redemption requirements) or for defensive reasons. They may write calls only if certain conditions are met: (1) after writing any call, not more than 25% of each funds' total assets may be subject to calls; (2) the calls must be listed on a domestic securities exchange or quoted on the Automated Quotation System of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; and (3) each call must be "covered" while it is outstanding; that is, the Fund must own the securities on which the call is written or it must own other securities that are acceptable for the escrow arrangements required for calls. If a covered call written by one of the funds is exercised on a security that has increased in value, that fund will be required to sell the security at the call price and will not be able to realize any profit on the security above the call price. Hedging With Options and Futures Contracts. Each fund may buy and sell options and futures contracts to try to manage its exposure to declining prices on its portfolio securities or to establish a position in the equity securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing individual securities. Some of these strategies, such as selling futures, buying puts and writing covered calls, hedge the Fund's portfolio against price fluctuations. Other hedging strategies, such as buying futures and buying call options, tend to increase the Fund's exposure to the market. Each of the funds may buy and sell futures contracts only if they relate to broadly-based stock indices, referred to as "Stock Index Futures". Each fund may purchase certain kinds of put and call options, Stock Index Futures (described below), financial futures, options on Stock Index Futures and on broadly-based stock indices. The Fund may enter into interest rate swaps, only as to security positions held by the Fund and not with respect to more than 25% of the Fund's total assets. These are all referred to as "hedging instruments." The funds do not use hedging instruments for speculative purposes. Each fund may purchase put options (puts). Buying a put on an investment gives the Fund the right to sell the investment to a seller of a put on that investment at a set price. Each fund can buy only puts that relate to (1) securities or Stock Index Futures, or (2) broadly-based stock indices. The Fund can buy a put on a security or Stock Index Future whether or not the Fund owns the particular security or Stock Index Future in its portfolio, however, Target Fund may not purchase puts on securities it does not own. Target Fund may purchase puts which relate to Stock Index Futures, whether or not it owns the particular Stock Index Future in its portfolio. The Fund may sell puts on securities indices or Futures only if such puts are covered by segregated liquid assets, but may not sell puts if, as a result, more than 50% of the Fund's net assets would be required to be segregated liquid assets. The funds may not sell puts other than a put that the fund previously purchased. Each of the funds may purchase calls only on securities, broadly-based stock indices or Stock Index Futures, or to terminate its obligation on a call a fund previously wrote. A call or put may not be purchased if the value of all of a fund's put and call options would exceed 5% of a fund's total assets. Each fund may buy and sell futures contracts only if they relate to broadly-based stock indices (these are referred to as "Stock Index Futures"). The funds may purchase and sell puts and calls on foreign currencies that are traded on a securities or commodities exchange or over-the-counter market or quoted by major recognized dealers in such options, for the purpose of protecting against declines in the dollar value of foreign securities and against increases in the dollar cost of securities to be acquired. The Fund may write and purchase both covered and uncovered calls and puts on foreign currencies. The Funds may also enter into foreign currency exchange contracts ("Forward Contracts") in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of a security denominated in a foreign currency which it has purchased or sold but which has not yet settled, or to protect against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and a foreign currency. Illiquid and Restricted Securities. The Fund will not purchase or otherwise acquire any securities that may be illiquid by virtue of the absence of a readily-available market or because their disposition would be subject to legal restrictions ("restricted securities") if, as a result, more than 10% of the Fund's net assets would be invested in securities that are illiquid (including repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days). This policy does not limit the acquisition of restricted securities eligible for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act that are determined to be liquid by the Fund's Board of Trustees or by the Manager under Board-approved guidelines. Such guidelines take into account, among other factors, trading activity for such securities and the availability of reliable pricing information. If there is a lack of trading interest in particular Rule 144A securities, the Fund's holdings of those securities may be illiquid. There may be undesirable delays in selling such securities at prices representing their fair value. Target Fund has an identical policy with respect to investment in restricted and illiquid securities. Loans of Portfolio Securities. To attempt to increase income for liquidity purposes, each fund may lend its portfolio securities (other than in repurchase transactions) to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions meeting specified credit conditions if the loan is collateralized in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and if, after any loan, the value of the securities loaned does not exceed 25% of the value of that fund's net assets. Each fund presently does not intend that the value of securities loaned in the current fiscal year will exceed 5% of the value of its total assets. Repurchase Agreements. Each fund may acquire securities subject to repurchase agreements to generate income for liquidity purposes to meet anticipated redemptions, or pending the investment of proceeds from sales of fund shares or settlement of purchases of portfolio investments. If the vendor fails to pay the agreed-upon resale price on the delivery date, the fund's risks may include any costs of disposing of such collateral, and any loss from any delay in foreclosing on the collateral. Each fund's repurchase agreements will be fully collateralized. There is no limit on the amount of the fund's net assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity of seven days or less. Neither fund will enter into a repurchase agreement which will cause more than 10% of its net assets to be subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days. Warrants and Rights Each of the funds may invest in warrants, which are the option to purchase stock at set prices that are valid for a limited period of time. The fund may invest up to 2% of its total assets in warrants or rights. Target Fund may invest up to 5% of its total assets. These restrictions do not include warrants or rights that have been acquired in units or are attached to other securities. With respect to Target Fund no more than 2% of its assets may be invested in warrants that are not listed on the New York or American Stock Exchanges. Investment Restrictions Each of the funds and Target Fund has certain investment restrictions that, together with its investment objectives, are fundamental policies changeable only by shareholder approval. Set forth below is a summary of these investment restrictions, which summary is qualified in its entirety by the investment policies and restrictions of the funds contained in their respective Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information. The Fund and Target Fund cannot: (1) with respect to the Fund, invest in securities of a single issuer (except the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities) if immediately thereafter either: (a) more than 5% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer, or (b) the Fund would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting securities (with respect to Target Fund, the above-mentioned restrictions apply on as to 75% of its assets); (2) invest as to the Fund, more than 25% of its total assets in securities of companies in any one industry and as to Target Fund, invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities of companies in any one industry; (3) invest in other open-end investment companies or invest more than 5% of net assets in closed-end investment companies, including small business investment companies, nor make any such investments at commission rates in excess of normal brokerage commissions; (4) with respect to the Fund, make short sales of securities except "short sales against-the-box"; (5) with respect to the Fund, deviate from the percentage restrictions listed under "Illiquid and Restricted Securities" and "Writing Covered Calls;" (6) lend money, but the funds may invest in a portion of a publicly distributed issue of bonds, debentures, commercial paper, or other similar corporate obligations; the fund may also make loans of portfolio securities provided the loan is collateralized in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and provided that immediately after any such loan the value of the securities loaned does not exceed 25% of net assets; (7) underwrite securities of other companies, except insofar as it might be deemed to be an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 in the resale of any securities held in its own portfolio; (8) invest in or hold securities of any issuer if those officers, directors and trustees of the funds or its adviser owning individually more than 0.5% of the securities of such issuer together own more than 5% of the securities of such issuer; (9) invest in commodities or commodity contracts; however, the funds may buy and sell any of the Hedging Instruments it may use, whether or not such Hedging Instrument is considered to be a commodity or commodity contract; (10) invest in real estate or interests in real estate, but may purchase readily marketable securities of companies holding real estate or interests therein; (11) purchase securities on margin; however, the Fund may make margin deposits in connection with any of the Hedging Instruments which it may use; or (12) mortgage, hypothecate or pledge any of its assets; however, this does not prohibit the escrow arrangements contemplated by the writing of covered call options or other collateral or margin arrangements in connection with any of the Hedging Instruments it may use; or (13) with respect to Target Fund, invest in interests in oil, gas or mineral exploration or development programs. Portfolio Turnover The Funds may engage frequently in short-term trading to try to achieve their investment objectives. As a result the portfolio turnover of each fund might be higher than other mutual funds, although neither fund expects its portfolio turnover to be more than 100% each year. High turnover and short-term trading may cause a fund to have relatively larger commission expenses and transactions costs than funds that do not engage in short-term trading. If a fund derives 30% or more of its gross income from the sale of securities held less than three months, the fund may fail to qualify under the Code as a regulated investment company and thereupon would lose certain beneficial tax treatment of its income. The funds each qualified in their last fiscal year and each intends to qualify in the coming year, although it reserves the right not to do so. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, the portfolio turnover rate for the Fund was 67.7%. For the six months ended December 31, 1994, the portfolio turnover rate for the Fund was 42.4%. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, the portfolio turnover rate for Target Fund with respect to Class A shares was 34.7% and with respect to Class C shares was 34.7%. Description of Brokerage Practices Brokerage practices for the Fund and Target Fund are the same. Subject to the provisions of the Fund's and Target Fund's respective investment advisory agreements with the Manager, allocations of brokerage are made by portfolio managers under the supervision of the Manager's executive officers. Transactions in securities other than those for which an exchange is the primary market are generally done with principals or market makers. Brokerage commissions are paid primarily for effecting transactions in listed securities and otherwise only if it appears likely that a better price or execution can be obtained. When the fund engages in an option transaction, ordinarily the same broker will be used for the purchase or sale of the option and any transactions in the securities to which the option relates. When possible, concurrent orders to purchase or sell the same security by more than one of the accounts managed by the Manager or it affiliates are combined. Transactions effected pursuant to such combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated in accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account. Option commissions may be relatively higher than those which would apply to direct purchases and sales of portfolio securities. 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, and investment research received for the commissions of those other accounts may be useful both to the fund and one or more of such other accounts. Such research, which may be supplied by a third party at the instance of a broker, includes information and analyses on particular companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and portfolio strategy, receipt of 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 for in commission dollars. The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and supplement the research activities of the Manager, by making available additional views for consideration and comparisons, and enabling the Manager to obtain market information for the valuation of securities held in the fund's portfolio or being considered for purchase. The Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees of the Fund and Target Fund (those Trustees of the Fund and Target Fund who are not "interested persons" as defined in the Investment Company Act, and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the investment advisory agreements described below or the service plans described above), annually reviews information furnished by the Manager relative to the commissions paid to brokers furnishing such services in an effort to ascertain that the amount of such commissions was reasonably related to the value or the benefit of such services. During the Fund's fiscal years ended June 30, 1992, 1993 and 1994, total brokerage commissions paid by the Fund (not including spreads or concessions on principal transactions on a net trade basis) were $623,069, $923,921 and $1,689,639, respectively. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1994, $216,461 was paid to brokers as commissions in return for research services (including special research, statistical information and execution); the aggregate dollar amount of those transactions was $109,841,151. The transactions giving rise to those commissions were allocated in accordance with the internal allocation procedures described above. During Target Fund's fiscal years ended December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, total brokerage commissions paid by Target Fund (not including spreads or concessions on principal transactions on a net trade basis) were $493,589, $319,608 and $564,504, respectively. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, $138,285,540 was paid to brokers as commissions in return for research services (including special research, statistical information and execution); the aggregate dollar amount of those transactions was $138,265,540. The transactions giving rise to those commissions were allocated in accordance with the Manager's internal allocation procedures. Expense Ratios and Performance The ratio of expenses to average net assets for the Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 and the six months ended December 31, 1994 were .94% and 1.29% (annualized), respectively. The ratio of expenses to average net assets for Class A shares of Target Fund and for Class C shares of Target Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 were 1.16% and 2.18%. Further details are set forth under "Fund Expenses" and "Financial Highlights" in Target Fund's Prospectus dated May 1, 1995, which accompanies this Proxy Statement and Prospectus, and in the Fund's Annual Report as of June 30, 1994 and Semi-Annual Report as of December 31, 1994, and Target Fund's Annual Report as of December 31, 1994 which are included in the Additional Statement. The Fund's average annual total returns (at net asset value) for one, five and ten-year periods ended December 31, 1994 were <12.81>%, 6.92% and 13.18%, respectively. Target Fund's average annual total returns (at net asset value) for the one, five and ten-year periods ended December 31, 1994 for Class A shares were <5.32>%, 8.46% and 10.49%, respectively. Target Funds average annual total return (at net asset value) for its Class C shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 1994 was <1.38>% and from inception to December 31, 1994 was <.60>%. Shareholder Services The policies of the Fund and Target Fund with respect to minimum initial investments and subsequent investments by its shareholders are the same. Both the Fund and Target Fund offer the following privileges: (i) Rights of Accumulation, (ii) Letters of Intent, (iii) reinvestment of dividends and distributions at net asset value, (iv) net asset value purchases by certain individuals and entities, (v) Asset Builder (automatic investment) Plans, (vi) Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans for shareholders who own shares of the fund valued at $5,000 or more (a shareholder may not combine different classes of shares in order to qualify for privileges under "Rights of Accumulation" and "Letter of Intent"), (vii) reinvestment of net redemption proceeds at net asset value within six months of a redemption, (viii) AccountLink and PhoneLink arrangements, (ix) exchanges of shares for shares of certain other funds at net asset value, and (x) telephone redemption and exchange privileges. Rights of Shareholders Shares of the Fund and Class A shares of Target Fund are redeemable at their net asset value. The shares of each such fund entitle the holder to one vote per share on the election of trustees and all other matters submitted to shareholders of the fund. Shares of the Fund and the Class A shares of Target Fund which Fund shareholders will receive in the Reorganization participate equally in the fund's dividends and distributions and in the fund's net assets on liquidation. All shares of each, when issued, are fully paid and non-assessable (except as to Target Fund, as described below) and have no preference, preemptive or conversion rights. It is not contemplated that either the Fund or Target Fund will hold regular annual meetings of shareholders. Under the Investment Company Act, shareholders of the Fund do not have rights of appraisal as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement. However, they have the right at any time prior to the consummation of such transaction to redeem their shares at net asset value. Shareholders of the Fund and Target Fund have the right, under certain circumstances, to remove a Trustee and will be assisted in communicating with other shareholders for such purpose. The Fund and Target Fund, organized as Massachusetts Business Trusts, are governed principally by their Declaration of Trusts and by-laws. The shareholders of the Fund and Target Fund have certain rights to call a meeting of shareholders as described in their respective Statements of Additional Information. Amendments to the Declaration of Trust require the approval of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the fund's shareholders. However, the Board of Trustees, under the provisions of the Declaration of Trust, have the power without shareholder approval to divide unissued shares of each of the funds into two or more classes. With respect to Target Fund, the Board has done so and Target Fund has two classes of shares, Class A and Class C. Each class has its own dividends and distributions and pays certain expenses which may be different. Each class may have a different net asset value. Each share has one vote at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionately. Only shares of a particular class vote together on matters that affect that class alone. Under certain circumstances, shareholders of the fund may be held personally liable as partners for the fund's obligations, and under the Declaration of Trust such a shareholder is entitled to indemnification rights by the fund; the risk of a shareholder incurring any such loss is limited to the remote circumstances in which the fund is unable to meet its obligations. Management and Distribution Arrangements The Manager, located at Two World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048- 0203, acts as the investment adviser for the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Fund dated October 22, 1990 (the "Fund Advisory Agreement") and acts as the investment adviser to Target Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with Target Fund dated October 22, 1990 ("Target Fund Advisory Agreement"). The funds' Advisory Agreements were submitted to and approved by the shareholders of the funds at a meeting held October 1, 1990 because the acquisition of the Manager by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corporation ("OAC") on October 22, 1990 terminated the previous investment advisory agreement. The monthly management fee payable to the Manager by each fund and the 12b-1 service plan fee paid by each fund to the Distributor is set forth above under "Synopsis - Investment Advisory and Service Plan Fees." The Fund and Target Fund have each adopted a Service Plan for their Class A shares to reimburse the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred in connection with personal service and maintenance of accounts that hold Class A shares. As of July 1, 1994, Target Fund shareholders approved an amended Service Plan for Class A shares that applies to all Class A shares of Target Fund, regardless of the date on which the shares were purchased. The Distributor uses all of those fees to compensate dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions quarterly for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares and to reimburse itself (if each Fund's Board of Trustees authorizes such reimbursements, which it has not yet done) for its other expenditures. Services to be provided include, among others, answering customer inquiries about each fund, assisting in establishing and maintaining accounts in each fund, making each fund's investment plans available and providing other services at the request of a fund or the Distributor. Pursuant to the Fund Advisory Agreement and the Target Fund Advisory Agreement, the Manager supervises the investment operations of the funds and the composition of their portfolios and furnishes advice and recommendations with respect to investments, investment policies and the purchase and sale of securities. The Manager also provides the Fund and Target Fund with adequate office space, facilities and equipment and provides, and supervises the activities of, all administrative and clerical personnel required to provide effective administration, including 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 each fund. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 and the six months ended December 31, 1994, the management fees paid by the Fund were $2,848,414 and $1,212,078, respectively. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, the management fees paid by Target Fund was $2,471,942 for its Class A shares and $3,549 for its Class C shares. The Fund Advisory Agreement contains no expense limitation. However, independently of the agreement, the Manager has undertaken that the total expenses of the Fund in any fiscal year (including the management fee but exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, distribution plan payments and any extraordinary non-recurring expenses, including litigation) shall not exceed the most stringent state regulatory limitation on fund expenses applicable to the Fund. At present, that limitation is imposed by California and limits expenses (with specified exclusions) to 2.5% of the first $30 million of average annual net assets, 2% of the next $70 million and 1.5% of average annual net assets in excess of $100 million. The Target Fund Advisory Agreement also contains the foregoing expense limitation. The Manager reserves the right to change or eliminate the expense limitation at any time and there can be no assurance as to the duration of the expense limitation. The Manager is controlled by OAC, a holding company owned in part by senior management of the Manager and ultimately controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, a mutual life insurance company that also advises pension plans and investment companies. The Manager has operated as an investment company adviser since 1959. The Manager and its affiliates currently advise investment companies with combined net assets aggregating over $30 billion as of March 31, 1995, with more than 2.4 million shareholder accounts. OSS, a division of the Manager, acts as transfer and shareholder servicing agent on an at-cost basis for the Fund and Target Fund and for certain other open-end funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates. The Distributor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, acts as the general distributor of each fund's shares under a General Distributor's Agreement for each fund dated December 10, 1992. The General Distributor's Agreement is subject to the same annual renewal requirements and termination provisions as the investment advisory agreements. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1992, 1993 and 1994, selling charges on the Fund's shares amounted to $990,171, $714,148 and $629,755, of which the Distributor and an affiliated broker-dealer retained in the aggregate $246,042, $189,859 and $168,109, respectively. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, selling charges on Target Fund's Class A shares amounted to $975,380, $698,109 and $351,806, of which the Distributor and an affiliated broker-dealer retained, in the aggregate, $421,079, $298,443 and $141,646, respectively. For the period ended December 31, 1994, contingent deferred sales charges collected by the Distributor on the redemption of Class C shares amounted to $1,185. Target Fund Performance Target Fund does not maintain a fixed dividend rate and there can be no assurance as to the payment of any dividends or the realization of any capital gains. The performance graph set forth below depicts the performance of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in each class of shares of Target Fund held until December 31, 1994: in the case of Class A shares, over a ten year period, and in the case of Class C shares, a one year period, and from inception of the Class on December 1, 1993, with all dividends and capital gains distributions reinvested in additional shares as net asset value on the reinvestment date, without sales charge. The graph reflects the deduction of the 5.75% maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares and the 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge and Class C shares. The graph compares the average annual total return of Class A shares of Target Fund's shares over that period with the performance of the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500 Index, an unmanaged index of common stocks widely used as a general measure of the performance of the U.S. equity securities market. The performance of the S&P 500 Index includes a factor for the reinvestment of dividend income but does not reflect reinvestment of capital gains or take into account sales charges or other initial or ongoing expenses of such stocks. None of the data below shows the effect of taxes. Fund shareholders receiving Class A shares of Target Fund in the Reorganization will not pay a sales charge on Class A shares of Target Fund.

Purchase of Additional Shares Shares of the Fund (consisting of Class A shares) and Class A shares Target Fund are sold at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 5.75% of the offering price. The sales charge is reduced for purchases of either fund's shares of $25,000 or more. On certain purchases of shares of $1 million or more, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% is imposed when such shares are redeemed within 18 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, subject to certain conditions. Class C shares of Target Fund are sold at net asset value per share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class C shares are redeemed within 12 months of their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. The sales charge on Class A shares of Target Fund will only affect shareholders of the Fund to the extent that they desire to make additional purchases of Class A shares of Target Fund in addition to the shares which they will receive as a result of the Reorganization. The shares to be issued under the Reorganization Agreement will be issued by Target Fund at net asset value without a sales charge. Future dividends and capital gain distributions of Target Fund, if any, may be reinvested without sales charge into Class A shares. Any Fund shareholder who is entitled to a reduced sales charge on additional purchases by reason of a Letter of Intent or Rights of Accumulation based upon holdings of shares of the Fund will continue to be entitled to a reduced sales charge on any future purchase of Class A shares of Target Fund. METHOD OF CARRYING OUT THE REORGANIZATION The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement is contingent upon the approval of the Reorganization by the shareholders of the Fund and the receipt of the other opinions and certificates set forth in Sections 10 and 11 of the Reorganization Agreement and the occurrence of the events described in those Sections. Under the Reorganization Agreement, all the assets of the Fund, excluding the Cash Reserve, will be delivered to Target Fund in exchange for Class A shares of Target Fund. The Cash Reserve to be retained by the Fund will be sufficient in the discretion of the Board for the payment of the Fund's liabilities, and the Fund's expenses of liquidation. Assuming the shareholders of the Fund approve the Reorganization, the actual exchange of assets is expected to take place as soon thereafter as is practicable (the "Closing Date") on the basis of net asset values as of the close of business on the business day preceding the Closing Date (the "Valuation Date"). Under the Reorganization Agreement, all redemptions of shares of the Fund shall be permanently suspended on the Valuation Date; only redemption requests received in proper form on or prior to the close of business on that date shall be fulfilled by it; redemption requests received by the Fund after that date will be treated as requests for redemptions of the Class A shares of Target Fund to be distributed to the shareholders requesting redemption. The exchange of assets for Class A shares will be done on the basis of the per share net asset value of the Class A shares of Target Fund, and the value of the assets of the Fund to be transferred as of the close of business on the Valuation Date, in the manner used by Target Fund in the valuation of assets. Target Fund is not assuming any of the liabilities of the Fund, except for portfolio securities purchased which have not settled and outstanding shareholder redemption and dividend checks. The net asset value of the Class A shares transferred by Target Fund to the Fund will be the same as the value of the net assets received by Target Fund. For example, if, on the Valuation Date, the Fund were to have securities with a market value of $95,000 and cash in the amount of $10,000 (of which $5,000 was to be retained by it as the Cash Reserve), the value of the assets which would be transferred to Target Fund would be $100,000. If the net asset value per share of Target Fund were $10 per share at the close of business on the Valuation Date, the number of shares to be issued would be 10,000 ($100,000 divided by $10). These 10,000 shares of Target Fund would be distributed to the former shareholders of the Fund. This example is given for illustration purposes only and does not bear any relationship to the dollar amounts or shares expected to be involved in the Reorganization. After the Closing Date, the Fund will distribute on a pro rata basis to its shareholders of record on the Valuation Date the Class A shares of Target Fund received by the Fund at the closing, in liquidation of the outstanding shares of the Fund, and the outstanding shares of the Fund will be cancelled. To assist the Fund in this distribution, Target Fund will, in accordance with a shareholder list supplied by the Fund, cause its transfer agent to credit and confirm an appropriate number of shares of Target Fund to each shareholder of the Fund. Certificates for shares of Target Fund will be issued upon written request of a former shareholder of the Fund but only for whole shares with fractional shares credited to the name of the shareholder on the books of Target Fund. Former shareholders of the Fund who wish certificates representing their shares of Target Fund must, after receipt of their confirmations, make a written request to OSS, P.O. Box 5270, Denver, Colorado 80217. Shareholders of the Fund holding certificates representing their shares will not be required to surrender their certificates to anyone in connection with the Reorganization. After the Reorganization, however, it will be necessary for such shareholders to surrender such certificates in order to redeem, transfer or exchange any shares of Target Fund. Under the Reorganization Agreement, within one year after the Closing Date, the Fund shall: (a) either pay or make provision for all of its debts and taxes; and (b) either (i) transfer any remaining amount of the Cash Reserve to Target Fund, if such remaining amount is not material (as defined below) or (ii) distribute such remaining amount to the shareholders of the Fund who were such on the Valuation Date. Such remaining amount shall be deemed to be material if the amount to be distributed, after deducting the estimated expenses of the distribution, equals or exceeds one cent per share of the number of Fund shares outstanding on the Valuation Date. Within one year after the Closing Date, the Fund will complete its liquidation. Under the Reorganization Agreement, either the Fund or Target Fund may abandon and terminate the Reorganization Agreement without liability if the other party breaches any material provision of the Reorganization Agreement or, if prior to the closing, any legal, administrative or other proceeding shall be instituted or threatened (i) seeking to restrain or otherwise prohibit the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement and/or (ii) asserting a material liability of either party, which proceeding or liability has not been terminated or the threat thereto removed prior to the Closing Date. In the event that the Reorganization Agreement is not consummated for any reason, the Board will consider and may submit to the shareholders other alternatives. MISCELLANEOUS Financial Information The Reorganization will be accounted for by the surviving fund in its financial statements similar to a pooling without restatement.

Annex A AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the "Agreement") dated as of March __, 1995 by and between Oppenheimer Time Fund (the "Fund"), a Massachusetts business trust, and Oppenheimer Target Fund ("Target Fund"), a Massachusetts business trust. W I T N E S S E T H: WHEREAS, the parties are each open-end investment companies of the management type; and WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to provide for the reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), of the Fund through the acquisition by Target Fund of substantially all of the assets of the Fund in exchange for the Class A voting shares of beneficial interest ("shares") of Target Fund and the assumption by Target Fund of certain liabilities of the Fund, which shares of Target Fund are thereafter to be distributed by the Fund pro rata to its shareholders in complete liquidation of the Fund and complete cancellation of its shares; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. The parties hereto hereby adopt a Plan of Reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1) of the Code as follows: The reorganization will be comprised of the acquisition by Target Fund of substantially all of the properties and assets of the Fund in exchange for shares of Target Fund and the assumption by Target Fund of certain liabilities of the Fund, followed by the distribution of such Target Fund shares to the shareholders of the Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund, all upon and subject to the terms of the Agreement hereinafter set forth. The share transfer books of the Fund will be permanently closed at the close of business on the Valuation Date (as hereinafter defined) and only redemption requests received in proper form on or prior to the close of business on the Valuation Date shall be fulfilled by the Fund; redemption requests received by the Fund after that date shall be treated as requests for the redemption of the shares of Target Fund to be distributed to the shareholder in question as provided in Section 5. 2. On the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), all of the assets of the Fund on that date, excluding a cash reserve (the "Cash Reserve") to be retained by the Fund sufficient in its discretion for the payment of the expenses of the Fund's dissolution and its liabilities, but not in excess of the amount contemplated by Section 10E, shall be delivered as provided in Section 8 to Target Fund, in exchange for and against delivery to the Fund on the Closing Date of a number of shares of Target Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets of the Fund so transferred and delivered. 3. The net asset value of the shares of Target Fund and the value of the assets of the Fund to be transferred shall in each case be determined as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on the Valuation Date. The computation of the net asset value of the Class A shares of Target Fund and the Fund shall be done in the manner used by Target Fund and the Fund, respectively, in the computation of such net asset value per share as set forth in their respective prospectuses. The methods used by Target Fund in such computation shall be applied to the valuation of the assets of the Fund to be transferred to Target Fund. The Fund shall declare and pay, immediately prior to the Valuation Date, a dividend or dividends which, together with all previous such dividends, shall have the effect of distributing to the Fund's shareholders all of the Fund's investment company taxable income for taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing Date (computed without regard to any dividends paid) and all of its net capital gain, if any, realized in taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing Date (after reduction for any capital loss carry-forward). 4. The closing (the "Closing") shall be at the office of Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the "Agent"), Two World Trade Center, Suite 3400, New York, New York 10048, at 4:00 P.M. New York time on _______________, 1995, or at such other time or place as the parties may designate or as provided below (the "Closing Date"). The business day preceding the Closing Date is herein referred to as the "Valuation Date." In the event that on the Valuation Date either party has, pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), or any rule, regulation or order thereunder, suspended the redemption of its shares or postponed payment therefor, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the date when both parties have ceased such suspension or postponement; provided, however, that if such suspension shall continue for a period of 60 days beyond the Valuation Date, then the other party to the Agreement shall be permitted to terminate the Agreement without liability to either party for such termination. 5. As soon as practicable after the Closing, the Fund shall distribute on a pro rata basis to the shareholders of the Fund on the Valuation Date the shares of Target Fund received by the Fund on the Closing Date in exchange for the assets of the Fund in complete liquidation of the Fund; for the purpose of the distribution by the Fund of such shares of Target Fund to its shareholders, Target Fund will promptly cause its transfer agent to: (a) credit an appropriate number of shares of Target Fund on the books of Target Fund to each shareholder of the Fund in accordance with a list (the "Shareholder List") of its shareholders received from the Fund; and (b) confirm an appropriate number of shares of Target Fund to each shareholder of the Fund; certificates for shares of Target Fund will be issued upon written request of a former shareholder of the Fund but only for whole shares with fractional shares credited to the name of the shareholder on the books of Target Fund. The Shareholder List shall indicate, as of the close of business on the Valuation Date, the name and address of each shareholder of the Fund, indicating his or her share balance. The Fund agrees to supply the Shareholder List to Target Fund not later than the Closing Date. Shareholders of the Fund holding certificates representing their shares shall not be required to surrender their certificates to anyone in connection with the reorganization. After the Closing Date, however, it will be necessary for such shareholders to surrender their certificates in order to redeem, transfer or pledge the Class A shares of Target Fund which they received. 6. Within one year after the Closing Date, the Fund shall (a) either pay or make provision for payment of all of its liabilities and taxes, and (b) either (i) transfer any remaining amount of the Cash Reserve to Target Fund, if such remaining amount (as reduced by the estimated cost of distributing it to shareholders) is not material (as defined below) or (ii) distribute such remaining amount to the shareholders of the Fund on the Valuation Date. Such remaining amount shall be deemed to be material if the amount to be distributed, after deduction of the estimated expenses of the distribution, equals or exceeds one cent per share of the Fund outstanding on the Valuation Date. 7. Prior to the Closing Date, there shall be coordination between the parties as to their respective portfolios so that, after the closing, Target Fund will be in compliance with all of its investment policies and restrictions. At the Closing, the Fund shall deliver to Target Fund two copies of a list setting forth the securities then owned by the Fund. Promptly after the Closing, the Fund shall provide Target Fund a list setting forth the respective federal income tax bases thereof. 8. Portfolio securities or written evidence acceptable to Target Fund of record ownership thereof by The Depository Trust Company or through the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or any other depository approved by the Fund pursuant to Rule 17f-4 under the Act shall be endorsed and delivered, or transferred by appropriate transfer or assignment documents, by the Fund on the Closing Date to Target Fund, or at its direction, to its custodian bank, in proper form for transfer in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof in accordance with the custom of brokers and shall be accompanied by all necessary state transfer stamps, if any. The cash delivered shall be in the form of certified or bank cashiers' checks or by bank wire or intra-bank transfer payable to the order of Target Fund for the account of Target Fund. Class A shares of Target Fund representing the number of Class A shares of Target Fund being delivered against the assets of the Fund, registered in the name of the Fund, shall be transferred to the Fund on the Closing Date. Such shares shall thereupon be assigned by the Fund to its shareholders so that the shares of Target Fund may be distributed as provided in Section 5. If, at the Closing Date, the Fund is unable to make delivery under this Section 8 to Target Fund of any of its portfolio securities or cash for the reason that any of such securities purchased by the Fund, or the cash proceeds of a sale of portfolio securities, prior to the Closing Date have not yet been delivered to it or the Fund's custodian, then the delivery requirements of this Section 8 with respect to said undelivered securities or cash will be waived and the Fund will deliver to Target Fund by or on the Closing Date and with respect to said undelivered securities or cash executed copies of an agreement or agreements of assignment in a form reasonably satisfactory to Target Fund, together with such other documents, including a due bill or due bills and brokers' confirmation slips as may reasonably be required by Target Fund. 9. Target Fund shall not assume the liabilities (except for portfolio securities purchased which have not settled and for shareholder redemption and dividend checks outstanding) of the Fund, but the Fund will, nevertheless, use its best efforts to discharge all known liabilities, so far as may be possible, prior to the Closing Date. The cost of printing and mailing the proxies and proxy statements will be borne by the Fund. The Fund and Target Fund will bear the cost of their respective tax opinion. Any documents such as existing prospectuses or annual reports that are included in that mailing will be a cost of the fund issuing the document. Any other out-of-pocket expenses of Target Fund and the Fund associated with this reorganization, including legal, accounting and transfer agent expenses, will be borne by the Fund and Target Fund, respectively, in the amounts so incurred by each. 10.

Target Fund agrees that it will prepare and file a Registration Statement on Form N-14 under the 1933 Act which shall contain a preliminary form of proxy statement and prospectus contemplated by Rule 145 under the 1933 Act.

OPPENHEIMER TIME FUND Supplement dated April 13, 1995 to the Prospectus dated October 21, 1994 The Prospectus is hereby amended as follows: 1. The supplement dated January 3, 1995 to the Prospectus is replaced by this supplement. 2. Under "Expenses" on page 2, the chart "Shareholder Transaction Expenses" is amended by deleting the references to the $5.00 fee for "Exchanges" and insert "None"; footnote 2 is deleted from that chart. 3. The following paragraphs are added at the end of "How The Fund Is Managed" on page 11: The Board of Trustees of Oppenheimer Time Fund (referred to as "Time Fund") has determined that it is in the best interest of Time Fund's shareholders that Time Fund reorganize with and into the Oppenheimer Target Fund ("Target Fund") and unanimously approved the terms of an agreement and plan of reorganization to be entered into between these funds (the "reorganization plan") and the transactions contemplated thereby (the "reorganization"). The Board further determined that the reorganization should be submitted to Time Fund's shareholders for approval, and recommended that shareholders approve the reorganization. Pursuant to the reorganization plan, (i) substantially all of the assets of Time Fund would be exchanged for Class A shares of Target Fund, (ii) these shares of Target Fund would be distributed to the shareholders of Time Fund, (iii) Time Fund would be liquidated, and (iv) the outstanding shares of Time Fund would be cancelled. The reorganization will be tax-free, pursuant to Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the Fund will request an opinion of tax counsel to that effect. A meeting of the shareholders of the Fund is expected to be held on June 20, 1995 to vote on the reorganization. The affirmative vote of the majority of outstanding shares of the Fund (the term "majority" is defined in the Investment Company Act as a special majority and is also explained in the Statement of Additional Information) is required for approval of the reorganization, including the reorganization plan. There is no assurance that Time Fund's shareholders will approve the reorganization. Details about the proposed reorganization will be contained in a proxy statement and other soliciting materials to be sent to the Fund shareholders of record on April 21, 1995, the record date for the shareholder meeting. Shareholders of Time Fund after the record date for the shareholder meeting will not be entitled to vote on the reorganization. 3. The second sentence of the paragraph captioned "At What Price are Shares Sold?" on page 13 is revised to read as follows: "In most cases, to enable you to receive that day's offering price, the Distributor must receive your order by the time of day the New York Stock Exchange closes, which is normally 4:00 P.M., New York time, but may be earlier on some days (all references to time in this Prospectus mean "New York Time".) The fourth sentence of that paragraph is revised to read as follows: "If you buy shares through a dealer, the dealer must receive your order by the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a regular business day and transmit it to the Distributor so that it is received before the Distributor's close of business that day, which is normally 5:00 P.M." 4. The section entitled "Selling Shares by Telephone" on page 18 is amended by revising the second sentence to read as follows: "To receive the redemption price on a regular business day, your call must be received by the Transfer Agent 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." 5. The section entitled "How to Exchange Shares" is amended by eliminating the second and third sentences in the first paragraph under that section on page 18. It is further amended, by revising the first sentence in the first "bulleted" paragraph following "Telephone Exchange Requests" on page 19 to read as follows: "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 is in proper form 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." 6. The first sentence of the paragraph captioned "Net Asset Value Per Share" on page 19 is revised to read as follows: "Net asset value per share is determined as of the close of The New York Stock Exchange on each regular business day by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets by the number of shares that are outstanding."

OPPENHEIMER TIME FUND Prospectus dated October 21, 1994 Oppenheimer Time Fund (the "Fund") is a mutual fund that seeks capital appreciation. Current income is not a consideration in the selection of the Fund's portfolio securities. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund emphasizes investment in "mid- capitalization" companies that are, in the opinion of Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the "Manager") established, well-managed companies with strong market positions, high quality products and high earnings growth potential that have a proven ability to translate growth in sales and market share into earnings gains. The Fund invests mainly in common stocks, preferred stocks, and convertible securities. The Fund also uses "hedging" instruments, to seek to reduce the risks of market fluctuations that affect the value of the securities the Fund holds. Some investment techniques the Fund uses may be considered to be speculative investment methods that may increase the risks of investing in the Fund and may also increase the Fund's operating costs. You should carefully review the risks associated with an investment in the Fund. Please refer to "Investment Policies and Strategies" for more information about the types of securities the Fund invests in and the risks of investing in the Fund. This Prospectus explains concisely what you should know before investing in the Fund. Please read this Prospectus carefully and keep it for future reference. You can find more detailed information about the Fund in the October 21, 1994, Statement of Additional Information. For a free copy, call Oppenheimer Shareholder Services, the Fund's Transfer Agent, at 1-800-525-7048, or write to the Transfer Agent at the address on the back cover. The Statement of Additional Information has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is incorporated into this Prospectus by reference (which means that it is legally part of this Prospectus). Because of the Fund's investment policies and practices, the Fund's shares may be considered to be speculative. Shares of the Fund are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the F.D.I.C. or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of principal amount invested. THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

ABOUT THE FUND Expenses The Fund pays a variety of expenses directly for management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other services, and those expenses are reflected in the Fund's net asset value per share. As a shareholder, you pay those expenses indirectly. Shareholders pay other expenses directly, such as sales charges. The following tables are provided to help you understand your direct expenses of investing in the Fund and your share of the Fund's operating expenses that you might expect to bear indirectly. The calculations are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended June 30, 1994. - Shareholder Transaction Expenses are charges you pay when you buy or sell shares of the Fund. Please refer to pages _____ through _____ for an explanation of how and when these charges apply. Maximum Sales Charge on Purchases (as a % of offering price) 5.75% Sales Charge on Reinvested Dividends None Deferred Sales Charge None(1) Redemption Fee None Exchange Fee $5.00(2) (1) If you invest more than $1 million, you may have to pay a sales charge of up to 1% if you sell your shares within 18 calendar months from the end of the calendar month during which you purchased those shares. See "How to Buy Shares," below. (2) Fee is waived for automated exchanges, as described in "How to Exchange Shares." - Annual Fund Operating Expenses are paid out of the Fund's assets and represent the Fund's expenses in operating its business. For example, the Fund pays management fees to its investment adviser, Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the "Manager"), and other regular expenses for services, such as transfer agent fees, custodial fees paid to the bank that holds its portfolio securities, audit fees and legal and other expenses. The following numbers are projections of the Fund's business expenses based on the Fund's expenses in its last fiscal year. These amounts are shown as a percentage of the Fund's average net assets for that year. An amended Service Plan for the Fund's shares took effect July 1, 1994, that applies to all shares of the Fund, regardless of the date on which the shares were purchased. "12b-1 Service Plan Fees" are based on expenses that would have been incurred if that Plan had been in effect during the Fund's fiscal year ended June 30, 1994. Management Fees 0.74% 12b-1 Service Plan Fees (restated) 0.12% Other Expenses 0.15% Total Fund Operating Expenses 1.01% - Examples. To try to show the effect of these expenses on an investment over time, we have created the hypothetical examples shown below. Assume that you make a $1,000 investment in shares of the Fund, and that the Fund's annual return is 5%, and that its operating expenses are as shown in the chart above. If you were to redeem your shares at the end of each period shown below, your investment would incur the following expenses by the end of each period shown: 1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years $67 $86 $107 $166 This example shows the effect of expenses on an investment, but is not meant to state or predict actual or expected costs or investment returns of the Fund, all of which will vary.

Investment Objective and Policies Objective. The Fund invests its assets to seek capital appreciation for its shareholders. The Fund does not invest to seek current income to pay shareholders. Investment Policies and Strategies. The Fund seeks its investment objective of capital appreciation by emphasizing investment in "mid- capitalization" companies (those generally with capitalization between $500 million and $5 billion, also known as "mid-cap" companies) that are, in the Manager's opinion, established, well-managed companies with strong market positions, high quality products and high earnings growth potential that have a proven ability to translate growth in sales and market share into earnings gains. The Fund's investments include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and rights and warrants in proportions which vary from time to time. Of the companies whose stocks the Fund held during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, some are categorized as "consumer cyclicals" that do well in the early to middle stages of the economic cycle; some fall into the technology sector, others are considered healthcare companies and a few are classified as financial-services issues. As a group, mid-cap stocks may be more vulnerable to a weaker economy than other stock sectors. See "Management's Discussion of Performance" on page 11 for details. In every case, however, sector classifications are a less important selection criterion for the Fund than specific company characteristics. When investing the Fund's assets, the Manager considers many factors, including general economic conditions in the U.S. relative to foreign economies, and the trends in domestic and foreign stock markets. The Fund may try to hedge against losses in the value of its portfolio of securities by using hedging strategies described below. When market conditions are unstable, the Fund may invest substantial amounts of its assets in debt securities, such as money market instruments or government securities, as described below. The Fund's portfolio manager may employ special investment techniques in selecting securities for the Fund. These are also described below. Additional information may be found about them under the same headings in the Statement of Additional Information. - Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund may invest in securities of small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in operation for less than three years, even after including the operations of any of their predecessors. Securities of these companies may have limited liquidity (which means that the Fund may have difficulty selling them at an acceptable price when it wants to) and the price of these securities may be volatile. The Fund currently intends to invest no more than 5% of its net assets in the next year in securities of small, unseasoned issuers. - Warrants and Rights. Warrants basically are options to purchase stock at set prices that are valid for a limited period of time. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. The Fund may invest up to 2% of its total assets in warrants or rights (other than those that have been acquired in units or attached to other securities). For further details, see "Warrants and Rights" in the Statement of Additional Information. - Special Situations. The Fund may invest in securities of companies that are in "special situations" that the Manager believes present opportunities for capital growth. A "special situation" may be an event such as a proposed merger, reorganization, or other unusual development that is expected to occur and which may result in an increase in the value of a company's securities regardless of general business conditions or the movement of prices in the securities market as a whole. There is a risk that the price of the security may decline if the anticipated development fails to occur. - Other Investment Risks. Because of the types of securities the Fund invests in and the investment techniques the Fund uses, some of which may be speculative securities, the Fund is designed for investors who are investing for the long-term, and who are willing to accept greater risks of loss of their capital in the hope of achieving capital appreciation. It is not intended for investors seeking assured income and preservation of capital. Investing for capital appreciation entails the risk of loss of all or part of your principal. Because there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective, when you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. - Special Risks - Borrowing for Leverage. The Fund may borrow up to 10% of the value of its assets from banks on an unsecured basis to buy securities. The Fund will borrow only if it can do so without putting up assets as security for a loan. This is a speculative investment method known as "leverage." This investment technique may subject the Fund to greater risks and costs than funds that do not borrow. These risks may include the possibility that the Fund's net asset value per share will fluctuate more than the net asset value of funds that don't borrow, since the Fund pays interest on borrowings and interest expense affects the Fund's share price. Borrowing for leverage is subject to limits under the Investment Company Act, described in more detail in "Borrowing for Leverage" in the Statement of Additional Information. - Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage frequently in short- term trading to try to achieve its objective. As a result, the Fund's portfolio turnover may be higher than other mutual funds, although it is not expected to be more than 100% each year. The "Financial Highlights," above, show the Fund's portfolio turnover rate during past fiscal years. High turnover and short-term trading may cause the Fund to have relatively larger commission expenses and transaction costs than funds that do not engage in short-term trading. Additionally, high portfolio turnover may affect the ability of the Fund to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code to enable the Fund to obtain tax reductions for dividends and capital gains distributions paid to shareholders. The Fund qualified in its last fiscal year and intends to do so in the coming year, although it reserves the right not to qualify. - Can the Fund's Investment Objective and Policies Change? The Fund has an investment objective, which is described above, as well as investment policies it follows to try to achieve its objective. Additionally, the Fund uses certain investment techniques and strategies in carrying out those policies. The Fund's investment policies and practices are not "fundamental" unless the Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information says that a particular policy is "fundamental." Fundamental policies are those that cannot be changed without the approval of a "majority" of the Fund's outstanding voting shares. The term "majority" is defined in the Investment Company Act to be a particular percentage of outstanding voting shares (and this term is explained in the Statement of Additional Information). The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. The Fund's Board of Trustees may change non-fundamental policies without shareholder approval, although significant changes will be described in amendments to this Prospectus. Other Investment Techniques and Strategies. The Fund may also use the investment techniques and strategies described below, which involve certain risks. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about these practices, including limitations designed to reduce some of the risks. - Writing Covered Calls. The Fund may write (that is, sell) covered call options (calls) to raise cash for liquidity purposes (for example, to meet redemption requirements) or for defensive reasons. The Fund receives cash (called a premium) when it writes a call. The call gives the buyer the ability to buy the security from the Fund at the call price during the period in which the call may be exercised. If the value of the security does not rise above the call price, it is likely that the call will lapse without being exercised, while the Fund keeps the cash premium (and the security). The Fund may write calls only if certain conditions are met: (1) after writing any call, not more than 25% of the Fund's total assets may be subject to calls; (2) the calls must be listed on a domestic securities exchange, quoted on the Automated Quotation System of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASDAQ); or traded in the over- the-counter market; and (3) each call must be "covered" while it is outstanding; that means the Fund must own the securities on which the call is written or it must own other securities that are acceptable for the escrow arrangements required for calls. The Fund can also write covered calls on Future Contracts it owns (these are described in the next section) but these calls must be covered by securities or other liquid assets the Fund owns, which the Fund must segregate from its other assets so that it will be able to satisfy its delivery obligations if the call is exercised. If a covered call written by the Fund is exercised, the Fund will be required to sell the security at the call price and will not be able to realize any profit if the security has increased in value above the call price on a security that has increased in value, the Fund will be required to sell the security at the call price and will not be able to realize any profit if the security has increased in value above the call price. - Hedging With Options and Futures Contracts. The Fund may buy and sell options and futures contracts to try to manage its exposure to declining prices on its portfolio securities or to establish a position in the equity securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing individual securities. Some of these strategies, such as selling futures, buying puts and writing covered calls, hedge the Fund's portfolio against price fluctuations. Other hedging strategies, such as buying futures and buying call options, tend to increase the Fund's exposure to the market. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts only if they relate to broadly-based stock indices (these are referred to as "Stock Index Futures"), as described in the Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase certain kinds of put and call options, Stock Index Futures (described below), financial futures and options on Stock Index Futures and on broadly-based stock indices, and engage in interest rate swap transactions. These are all referred to as "hedging instruments." The Fund does not use hedging instruments for speculative purposes. The hedging instruments the Fund may use are described below and in greater detail in "Other Investment Techniques and Strategies" in the Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase put options (puts). Buying a put on an investment gives the Fund the right to sell the investment to a seller of a put on that investment at a set price. The Fund can buy only puts that relate to (1) securities or Stock Index Futures, or (2) broadly-based stock indices. The Fund can buy a put on a security or Stock Index Future whether or not the Fund owns the particular security or Stock Index Future in its portfolio. The Fund may sell puts on securities indices or Futures only if such puts are covered by segregated liquid assets, but may not sell puts if, as a result, more than 50% of the Fund's net assets would be required to be segregated liquid assets. The Fund may not sell puts other than a put that it previously purchased. The Fund may purchase calls only on securities, broadly-based stock indices or Stock Index Futures, or to terminate its obligation on a call the Fund previously wrote. A call or put may not be purchased if the value of all of the Fund's put and call options would exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts only if they relate to broadly-based stock indices (these are referred to as "Stock Index Futures"), as described in the Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase and sell puts and calls on foreign currencies that are traded on a securities or commodities exchange or over-the-counter market or quoted by major recognized dealers in such options, for the purpose of protecting against declines in the dollar value of foreign securities and against increases in the dollar cost of securities to be acquired. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency exchange contracts in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of a security denominated in a foreign currency which it has purchased or sold but which has not yet settled, or to protect against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and a foreign currency. Hedging instruments can be volatile investments and may involve special risks. The use of hedging instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different from those 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 or if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid market for the future or option. Options trading involves the payment of premiums and has special tax effects on the Fund. There are also special risks in particular hedging strategies. For example, in writing puts, there is a risk that the Fund may be required to buy the underlying security at a disadvantageous price. These risks and the hedging strategies the Fund may use are described in greater detail in the Statement of Additional Information. - Foreign Securities. The Fund may purchase equity (and debt) securities issued or guaranteed by foreign companies or foreign governments or their agencies. The Fund may purchase securities in any country, developed or undeveloped. There is no limit on the amount of the Fund's assets that may be invested in foreign securities. Foreign currency will be held by the Fund only in connection with the purchase or sale of foreign securities. If the Fund's securities are held abroad, the countries in which they are held and the sub-custodians holding them must be approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. Foreign Securities Have Special Risks. For example, foreign issuers are not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to. The value of foreign instruments may be affected by changes in foreign currency rates, exchange control regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign taxes, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in governmental, economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political and economic factors. More information about the risks and potential rewards of investing in foreign securities is contained in the Statement of Additional Information. - Interest Rate Swap Transactions. The Fund may enter into interest rate swaps. In an interest rate swap, the Fund and another party exchange their respective commitments to pay or receive interest on a security, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments. The Fund will not use interest rate swaps for leverage. Swap transactions will be entered into only as to security positions held by the Fund. The Fund may not enter into swap transactions with respect to more than 25% of its total assets. The Fund will segregate liquid assets equal to the net excess, if any, of its obligations over its entitlements under the swap and will mark to market that amount daily. There is a risk of loss on a swap equal to the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make. The credit risk of an interest rate swap depends on the counterparty's ability to perform. - Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Under the policies established by the Fund's Board of Trustees, the Manager determines the liquidity of certain of the Fund's investments. Investments may be illiquid because of the absence of a 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 that cannot be sold publicly until it is registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Fund currently intends to invest no more than 10% of its assets in illiquid or restricted securities (that limit may increase to 15% if certain state laws are changed or the Fund's shares are no longer sold in those states). Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers, are not subject to that limit. - Loans of Portfolio Securities. To raise cash for liquidity purposes, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities to certain types of eligible borrowers approved by the Board of Trustees. Each loan must be collateralized in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. After any loan, the value of the securities loaned must not exceed 25% of the value of the Fund's net 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 loan securities. The Fund presently does not intend to engage in loans of securities that will exceed 5% of the value of its total assets in the coming year. - Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different kinds of "derivative investments." In general, a "derivative investment" is a specially designed investment whose performance is linked to the performance of another investment or security, such as an option, future, index or currency. In the broadest sense, derivative instruments include exchange-traded options and futures contracts (see "Writing Covered Calls" and "Hedging with Options and Futures Contracts"). The risks of investing in derivative investments include not only the ability of the company issuing the instrument to pay the amount due on the maturity of the instrument, but also the risk that the underlying investment or security might not perform the way the Manager expected it to perform. The performance of derivative investments may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the U.S. and abroad. All of this can mean that the Fund will realize less income than expected. Certain derivative instruments held by the Fund may trade in the over-the-counter markets and may be illiquid. See "Illiquid and Restricted Securities". Examples of derivative investments the Fund may invest in include, among others, "index-linked" notes. These are debt securities of companies that call for payment on the maturity of the note in different terms than the typical note where the borrower agrees to pay a fixed sum on the maturity of the note. The payment on maturity of an index-linked note depends on the performance of one or more market indices, such as the S & P 500 Index. Further examples of derivative investments the Fund may invest in include "debt exchangeable for common stock" of an issuer or "equity-linked debt securities" of an issuer. At maturity, the principal amount of the debt security is exchanged for common stock of the issuer or is payable in an amount based on the issuer's common stock price at the time of maturity. In either case there is a risk that the amount payable at maturity will be less than the principal amount of the debt. Other examples of derivative investments the Fund may invest in are currency-indexed securities. These are typically short-term or intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by reference to one or more specified foreign currencies. Certain currency-indexed securities purchased by the Fund may have a payout factor tied to a multiple of the movement of the U.S. dollar (or the foreign currency in which the security is denominated) against the movement in the U.S. dollar, the foreign currency, other currency, or an index. Such securities may be subject to increased principal risk and increased volatility than comparable securities without a payout factor in excess of one, but the Manager believes the increased yield justifies the increased risk. - Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. There is no limit on the amount of the Fund's net assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements of seven days or less. Repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized. However, if the vendor of the securities under a repurchase agreement fails to pay the resale price on the delivery date, the Fund may incur costs in disposing of the collateral and losses if there is any delay in its ability to do so. The Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement which causes more than 10% of its net assets to be subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days. - Short Sales "Against-the-Box". In a short sale, the seller does not own the security that is sold, but normally borrows the security to fulfill the delivery obligation. The seller later buys the security to repay the loan in the expectation that the price of the security will be lower when the purchase is made, resulting in a gain. The Fund may not sell securities short except in collateralized transactions referred to as short sales "against-the-box," where the Fund owns an equivalent amount of the security sold short. This technique is used primarily for tax purposes. No more than 15% of the Fund's net assets will be held as collateral for such short sales at any one time. - Temporary Defensive Investments. When stock market prices are falling or in other unusual economic or business circumstances, the Fund may invest all or a portion of its assets in defensive securities. Securities selected for defensive purposes may include debt securities, such as rated or unrated bonds and debentures, and preferred stocks, cash or cash equivalents, such as U.S. Treasury Bills and other short-term obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or commercial paper rated "A-1" or better by Standard & Poor's Corporation or "P-1" or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. Other Investment Restrictions. The Fund has other investment restrictions which are fundamental policies. Under these fundamental policies, the Fund cannot do any of the following: (1) invest in securities of a single issuer (except the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities) if immediately thereafter either: (a) more than 5% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer, or (b) the Fund would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting securities; (2) invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities of companies in any one industry; (3) invest in other open-end investment companies or invest more than 5% of its net assets in closed-end investment companies, including small business investment companies, nor make any such investments at commission rates in excess of normal brokerage commissions; (4) make short sales of securities except "short sales against-the-box"; or (5) deviate from the percentage restrictions listed under "Illiquid and Restricted Securities" and "Writing Covered Calls." All of the percentage restrictions described above and elsewhere in this Prospectus (other than the percentage limit that applies to borrowing, described in the Statement of Additional Information) apply only at the time the Fund purchases a security, and the Fund need not dispose of a security merely because the Fund's assets have changed or the security has increased in value relative to the size of the Fund. There are other fundamental policies described in the Statement of Additional Information. How the Fund is Managed Organization and History. The Fund was originally incorporated in Maryland in 1971 but was reorganized in 1985 as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment company, with an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest. 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. "Trustees and Officers of the Fund" in the Statement of Additional Information names the Trustees and provides more information about them and the officers of the Fund. Although the Fund is not required by law to hold annual meetings, 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. The Manager and Its Affiliates. The Fund is managed by the Manager, which 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 Board of Trustees, under an Investment Advisory Agreement which states the Manager's responsibilities and its fees, and describes the expenses that the Fund pays to conduct its business. The Manager has operated as an investment adviser since 1959. The Manager and its affiliates currently manage investment companies, including other OppenheimerFunds, with assets of more than $28 billion as of June 30, 1994, and with more than 1.8 million shareholder accounts. The Manager is owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a holding company that is owned in part by senior officers of the Manager and controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, a mutual life insurance company. - Portfolio Manager. The Portfolio Manager of the Fund is Jay W. Tracey III, a Vice President of the Manager and of the Fund. He has been the person principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio, since September, 1994. During the past five years, Mr. Tracey has also served as an officer of other OppenheimerFunds, prior to which he was Managing Director of Buckingham Capitol Management, prior to which he was the portfolio manager of the Fund and a Vice President of the Manager, before which he was Senior Vice President of Founders Asset Management, Inc. (mutual fund adviser), prior to which he was a securities analyst and portfolio manager of Berger Associates, Inc. (investment adviser). - Fees and Expenses. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Manager the following annual fees, which decline on additional assets as the Fund grows: 0.75% of the first $200 million of aggregate net assets, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, .66% of the next $200 million, and 0.60% of aggregate net assets over $800 million. The Fund's management fee for its last fiscal year was 0.74% of average annual net assets, which may be higher than the rate paid by some other mutual funds. The Fund pays expenses related to its daily operations, such as custodian fees, Trustees' fees, transfer agency fees, legal 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. More information about the investment advisory agreement and the other expenses paid by the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information. There is also information about the Fund's brokerage policies and practices in "Brokerage Policies of the Fund" in the Statement of Additional Information. That section discusses how brokers and dealers are selected for the Fund's portfolio transactions. When deciding which brokers to use, the Manager is permitted by the investment advisory agreement to consider whether brokers have sold shares of the Fund or any other funds for which the Manager serves as investment adviser. - The Distributor. The Fund's shares are sold through dealers and brokers that have a sales agreement with Oppenheimer Funds Distributor, Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager that acts as the Distributor. The Distributor also distributes the shares of other mutual funds managed by the Manager (the "OppenheimerFunds") and is sub-distributor for funds managed by a subsidiary of the Manager. - The Transfer Agent. The Fund's transfer agent is Oppenheimer Shareholder Services, a division of the Manager, which acts as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund and the other OppenheimerFunds on an "at-cost" basis. Shareholders should direct inquiries about their accounts to the Transfer Agent at the address and toll-free number shown below in this Prospectus and on the back cover. Performance of the Fund Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Fund uses certain terms to illustrate its performance: "total return" and "average annual total return." This performance information may be useful to help you see how well your investment has done and to compare it to other funds or market indices, as we have done below. It is important to understand that the Fund's total returns represent past performance and should not be considered to be predictions of future returns or performance. This performance data is described below, but more detailed information about how total returns are calculated is contained in the Statement of Additional Information, which also contains information about other ways to measure and compare the Fund's performance. The Fund's investment performance will vary, depending on market conditions, the composition of the portfolio, and expenses that the Fund incurs. - Total Returns. There are different types of total returns used 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. 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 the Fund's actual year-by-year performance. When total returns are quoted, they reflect the payment of the maximum initial sales charge. Total returns may also be quoted "at net asset value," without considering the effect of the sales charge, and those returns would be reduced if sales charges were deducted. How Has the Fund Performed? Below is a discussion by the Manager of the Fund's performance during its last fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, followed by a graphical comparison of the Fund's performance to an appropriate broad-based market index. - Management's Discussion of Performance. During the Fund's past fiscal year, increases in short-term interest rates took a toll on growth stocks. In that economic climate, the Manager continued to focus on mid- capitalization companies (having a capitalization between $500 million and $5 billion, also known as "mid-cap" companies) that, in the Manager's opinion, have high earnings growth potential. The Fund emphasized investments in portfolio companies with established market positions and strong managements, and which may benefit from increased consumer confidence and spending. The Fund sold stocks whose prices appeared to have peaked, using the proceeds to invest in companies whose earnings potential is not, in the Manager's opinion, fully reflected in the value of their shares. - Comparing the Fund's Performance to the Market. The chart below shows the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in shares of the Fund held until June 30, 1994 over a ten-year period, with all dividends and capital gains distributions invested in additional shares. The graph reflects the deduction of the 5.75% maximum initial sales charge on Fund shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index, a broad-based index of equity securities widely regarded as a general measure of the performance of the U.S. equity securities market. Index performance data reflects the reinvestment of dividends but does not consider the effect of capital gains or transaction costs, and none of the data below shows the effect of taxes. Also, the Fund's performance reflects the effect of Fund business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund's performance, it must be noted that the Fund's investments are not limited to the securities in the S&P 500 Index, which tend to be securities of larger, well-capitalized companies, as contrasted to the mid-cap growth- type companies in which the Fund principally invests. Moreover, the index data does not reflect any assessment of the risk of the investments included in the index. Comparison of Change in Value of $10,000 Hypothetical Investment in: Oppenheimer Time Fund and the S&P 500 Index (Graph) Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Oppenheimer Time Fund Average Annual Total Return of the Fund at 6/30/94 1-Year 5-Year 10-Year -8.95% 5.68% 12.54% Past performance is not predictive of future performance. ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT How to Buy Shares When you buy shares of the Fund, you pay an initial sales charge (on investments up to $1 million). If you purchase shares as part of an investment of at least $1 million in shares of one or more OppenheimerFunds, and you sell any of those shares within 18 months after your purchase, you may pay a contingent deferred sales charge, which will vary depending on the amount you invested. How Much Must You Invest? You can open a Fund account 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: With Asset Builder Plans, Automatic Exchange Plans, 403(b)(7) custodial plans and military allotment plans, you can make initial and subsequent investments of as little as $25; and subsequent purchases of at least $25 can be made by telephone through AccountLink. Under pension and profit-sharing plans and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), you can make an initial investment of as little as $250 (if your IRA is established under an Asset Builder Plan, the $25 minimum applies), and subsequent investments may be as little as $25. There is no minimum investment requirement if you are buying shares by reinvesting dividends from the Fund or other OppenheimerFunds (a list of them appears in the Statement of Additional Information, or you can ask your dealer or call the Transfer Agent), or by reinvesting distributions from unit investment trusts that have made arrangements with the Distributor. - How Are Shares Purchased? You can buy shares several ways -- through any dealer, broker or financial institution that has a sales agreement with the Distributor, or directly through the Distributor, or automatically from your bank account through an Asset Builder Plan under the OppenheimerFunds AccountLink service. - Buying Shares Through Your Dealer. 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 "Oppenheimer Funds 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. - Buying Shares Through OppenheimerFunds AccountLink. You can use AccountLink to link your Fund account with an account at a U.S. bank or other financial institution that is an Automated Clearing House (ACH) member, to transmit funds electronically to purchase shares, to send redemption proceeds, and to transmit dividends and distributions. Shares are purchased for your account on the regular business day the Distributor is instructed by you to initiate the ACH transfer to buy shares. You can provide those instructions automatically, under an Asset Builder Plan, described below, or by telephone instructions using OppenheimerFunds PhoneLink, also described below. You must request AccountLink privileges on the application or dealer settlement instructions used to establish your account. Please refer to "AccountLink" below for more details. - Asset Builder Plans. You may purchase shares of the Fund (and up to four other OppenheimerFunds) automatically each month from your account at a bank or other financial institution under an Asset Builder Plan with AccountLink. Details are on the Application and in the Statement of Additional Information. - At What Price Are Shares Sold? Shares are sold at the public offering price based on the net asset value that is next determined after the Distributor receives the purchase order in Denver. In most cases, to enable you to receive that day's offering price, the Distributor must receive your order by 4:00 P.M., New York time (all references to time in this Prospectus mean "New York time"). The net asset value is determined as of that time on each day The New York Stock Exchange is open (which is a "regular business day"). If you buy shares through a dealer, the dealer must receive your order by 4:00 P.M., on a regular business day and transmit it to the Distributor so that it is received before the Distributor's close of business that day, which is normally 5:00 P.M. The Distributor may reject any purchase order for the Fund's shares, in its sole discretion. The Fund's shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus an initial sales charge. However, in some cases, described below, where purchases are not subject to an initial sales charge, the offering price may be net asset value. In some cases, reduced sales charges may be available, as described below. 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 and allocated to your dealer. The current sales charge rates and commissions paid to dealers and brokers are as follows: [Download Table] Front-End Front-End Sales Charge Sales Charge as Percentage as Percentage Commission of Offering of Amount as Percentage Amount of Purchase Price Invested of Offering Price ------------------ ------------- ------------- ----------------- Less than $25,000 5.75% 6.10% 4.75% $25,000 or more but less than $50,000 5.50% 5.82% 4.75% $50,000 or more but less than $100,000 4.75% 4.99% 4.00% $100,000 or more but less than $250,000 3.75% 3.90% 3.00% $250,000 or more but less than $500,000 2.50% 2.56% 2.00% $500,000 or more but less than $1 million 2.00% 2.04% 1.60% <FN> _______________________________________________________________________ The Distributor reserves the right to reallow the entire commission to dealers. If that occurs, the dealer may be considered an "underwriter" under Federal securities laws. - Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any one or more OppenheimerFunds aggregating $1 million or more (shares of the Fund and other OppenheimerFunds that offer only one class of shares that has no class designation are considered "Class A" shares for this purpose). However, the Distributor pays dealers of record commissions on such purchases in an amount equal to the sum of 1.0% of the first $2.5 million, plus 0.50% of the next $2.5 million, plus 0.25% of share purchases over $5 million. That commission will be paid only on the amount of those purchases in excess of $1 million that were not previously subject to a front-end sales charge and dealer commission. If you redeem any of those shares within 18 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. That sales charge will be equal to 1.0% of the aggregate net asset value of either (1) the redeemed shares (not including shares purchased by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions) or (2) the original cost of the shares, whichever is less. However, the contingent deferred sales charge will not exceed the aggregate commissions the Distributor paid to your dealer on all shares of all OppenheimerFunds you purchased subject to the contingent deferred sales charge. In determining whether a contingent deferred sales charge is payable, the Fund will first redeem shares that are not subject to the sales charge, including shares purchased by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, and then will redeem other shares in the order that you purchased them. The contingent deferred sales charge is waived in certain cases described in "Waivers of Sales Charges" below. No contingent deferred sales charge is charged on exchanges of shares under the Fund's Exchange Privilege (described below). However, if the shares acquired by exchange are redeemed within 18 months of the end of the calendar month of the purchase of the exchanged shares, the sales charge will apply. - Special Arrangements With Dealers. The Distributor may advance up to 13 months' commissions to dealers that have established special arrangements with the Distributor for Asset Builder Plans for their clients. Dealers whose sales of Class A shares of OppenheimerFunds (other than money market funds) under OppenheimerFunds-sponsored 403(b)(7) custodial plans exceed $5 million per year (calculated per quarter), will receive monthly one-half of the Distributor's retained commissions on those sales, and if those sales exceed $10 million per year, those dealers will receive the Distributor's entire retained commission on those sales. Reduced Sales Charges. You may be eligible to buy the Fund's shares at reduced sales charge rates in one or more of the following ways: - Right of Accumulation. You and your spouse can cumulate shares you purchase for your own accounts, or jointly, or on behalf of your children who are minors, under trust or custodial accounts. A fiduciary can cumulate 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. Additionally, you can cumulate current purchases of shares of the Fund and Class A shares of other OppenheimerFunds with Class A shares of OppenheimerFunds you previously purchased subject to a sales charge, provided that you still hold your investment in one of the OppenheimerFunds. The value of those shares will be based on the greater of the amount you paid for the shares or their current value (at offering price). The OppenheimerFunds are listed in "Reduced Sales Charges" in the Statement of Additional Information, or a list can be obtained from the Transfer Agent. The reduced sales charge will apply only to current purchases and must be requested when you buy your shares. - Letter of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent, you may purchase shares of the Fund and Class A shares of other OppenheimerFunds during a 13-month period at the reduced sales charge rate that applies to the aggregate amount of the intended purchases, including purchases made up to 90 days before the date of the Letter. More information is contained in the Application and in "Reduced Sales Charges" in the Statement of Additional Information. - Waivers of Sales Charges. No sales charge is imposed on sales of shares to the following investors: (1) the Manager or its affiliates; (2) present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their "immediate families" as defined in "Reduced Sales Charges" in the Statement of Additional Information) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their employees; (3) registered management investment companies, or separate accounts of insurance companies having an agreement with the Manager or the Distributor for that purpose; (4) dealers or brokers that have a sales agreement with the Distributor, if they purchase shares for their own accounts or for retirement plans for their employees; (5) employees and registered representatives (and their spouses) of dealers or brokers described above or financial institutions that have entered into sales arrangements with such dealers or brokers (and are identified to the Distributor) or with the Distributor; the purchaser must certify to the Distributor at the time of purchase that the purchase is for the purchaser's own account (or for the benefit of such employee's spouse or minor children); (6) dealers, brokers or registered investment advisers that have entered into an agreement with the Distributor providing specifically for the use of shares of the Fund in particular investment products made available to their clients; (7) dealers, brokers or registered investment advisers that have entered into an agreement with the Distributor to sell shares to defined contribution employee retirement plans for which the dealer, broker, or investment adviser provides administrative services. Additionally, no sales charge is imposed on shares that are (a) issued in plans of reorganization, such as mergers, asset acquisitions and exchange offers, to which the Fund is a party, or (b) purchased by the reinvestment of loan repayments by a participant in a retirement plan for which the Manager or its affiliates acts as sponsor, or (c) purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or other distributions reinvested from the Fund or other OppenheimerFunds (other than Oppenheimer Cash Reserves Fund) or unit investment trusts for which reinvestment arrangements have been made with the Distributor. There is a further discussion of this policy in "Reduced Sales Charges" in the Statement of Additional Information. The contingent deferred sales charge does not apply to purchases of shares at net asset value described above and is also waived if shares are redeemed in the following cases: (1) retirement distributions or loans to participants or beneficiaries from qualified retirement plans, deferred compensation plans or other employee benefit plans ("Retirement Plans"), (2) returns of excess contributions made to Retirement Plans, (3) Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments that are limited to no more than 12% of the original account value annually, and (4) involuntary redemptions of shares by operation of law or under the procedures set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or adopted by the Board of Trustees; and (5) if, at the time an order is placed for Class A shares that would otherwise be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the dealer agrees to accept the dealer's portion of the commission payable on the sale in installments of 1/18th of the commission per month (with no further commission payable if the shares are redeemed within 18 months of purchase). - Service Plan. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan to reimburse the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred in connection with the personal service and maintenance of shareholder accounts. Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate that may not exceed 0.25% of the average annual net assets of shares of the Fund. The Distributor uses all of those fees to compensate dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions quarterly for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold shares of the Fund and to reimburse itself (if the Fund's Board of Trustees authorizes such reimbursements, which it has not yet done) for its other expenditures under the Plan. Services to be provided 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. Payments are made by the Distributor quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average annual net assets of shares held in accounts of the dealer or its customers. The payments under the Plan increase the annual expenses of shares. For more details, please refer to "Service Plan" in the Statement of Additional Information. Special Investor Services AccountLink. OppenheimerFunds AccountLink links your Fund account to your account at your bank or other financial institution to enable you to send money electronically between those accounts to perform a number of types of account transactions, including purchases of shares by telephone (either through a service representative or by PhoneLink, described below), automatic investments under Asset Builder Plans, and sending dividends and distributions or Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments directly to your bank account.

You should consult the Application and Statement of Additional Information for more details. - Automatic Exchange Plans. You can authorize the Transfer Agent to exchange an amount you establish in advance automatically for shares of up to five other OppenheimerFunds on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Exchange Plan. The minimum purchase for each other OppenheimerFunds account is $25. These exchanges are subject to the terms of the Exchange Privilege, described below. Reinvestment Privilege. If you redeem some or all of your Fund shares, you have up to 6 months to reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds in shares of the Fund or Class A shares of other OppenheimerFunds without paying a sales charge. This privilege applies to Fund shares that you purchased with an initial sales charge or on which you paid a contingent deferred sales charge when you redeemed them. You must be sure to ask the Distributor for this privilege when you send your payment. Please consult the Statement of Additional Information for more details. Retirement Plans. Fund shares are available as an investment for your retirement plans.

How to Sell Shares You can arrange to take money out of your account on any regular business day by selling (redeeming) some or all of your shares. Your shares will be sold at the next net asset value calculated after your order is received and accepted by the Transfer Agent. The Fund offers you a number of ways to sell your shares: in writing or by telephone. You can also set up Automatic Withdrawal Plans to redeem shares on a regular basis, as described above. If you have questions about any of these procedures, and especially if you are redeeming shares in a special situation, such as due to the death of the owner, or from a retirement plan, please call the Transfer Agent first, at 1-800-525-7048, for assistance. - Retirement Accounts. To sell shares in an OppenheimerFunds retirement account in your name, call the Transfer Agent for a distribution request form. There are special income tax withholding requirements for distributions from retirement plans and you must submit a withholding form with your request to avoid delay. If your retirement plan account is held for you by your employer, you must arrange for the distribution request to be sent by the plan administrator or trustee. There are additional details in the Statement of Additional Information. - Certain Requests Require a Signature Guarantee.

There are no dollar limits on telephone redemption proceeds sent to a bank account designated when you establish AccountLink. Normally the ACH wire 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 wired. How to Exchange Shares Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of certain OppenheimerFunds at net asset value per share at the time of exchange, without sales charge. A $5 service fee will be deducted from the fund account you are exchanging into to help defray administrative costs. That charge is waived for automated exchanges made by brokers on Fund/SERV and for automated exchanges between already established accounts on PhoneLink described below. To exchange shares, you must meet several conditions: - Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in your state of residence - The prospectuses of this Fund and the fund whose shares you want to buy must offer the exchange privilege - 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 - You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the fund you purchase by exchange - Before exchanging into a fund, you should obtain and read its prospectus Shares of a particular class may be exchanged only for shares of the same class in the other OppenheimerFunds. Because the Fund has only one class of shares that does not have a class designation, they are "Class A" shares for exchange purposes. For example, you can exchange shares of this Fund only for Class A shares of another fund. At present, not all of the OppenheimerFunds offer the same classes of shares. If a fund has only one class of shares that does not have a class designation, they are "Class A" shares for exchange purposes. In some cases, sales charges may be imposed on exchange transactions. Certain OppenheimerFunds offer Class A shares and Class B and/or Class C shares, and a list can be obtained by calling the Distributor at 1-800-525-7048. Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in the Statement of Additional Information for more details. 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 one of the addresses listed in "How to Sell Shares." - Telephone Exchange 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. You can find a list of OppenheimerFunds currently available for exchanges in the Statement of Additional Information or by calling a service representative at 1-800-525-7048. Exchanges of shares involve a redemption of the shares of the fund you own and a purchase of shares of the other fund. There are certain exchange policies you should be aware of: - 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 by 4:00 P.M. that is in proper form, but either fund may delay the purchase of shares of the fund you are exchanging into if it determines it would be disadvantaged by a same-day transfer of the proceeds to buy shares. For example, the receipt of multiple exchange requests from a dealer in a "market-timing" strategy might require the disposition of securities at a time or price disadvantageous to the Fund. - Because excessive trading can hurt fund performance and harm shareholders, the Fund reserves the right to refuse any exchange request that will disadvantage it, or to refuse multiple exchange requests submitted by a shareholder or dealer. - The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. Although the Fund will attempt to provide you notice whenever it is reasonably able to do so, it may impose these changes at any time. - 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. The Distributor has entered into agreements with certain dealers and investment advisers permitting them to exchange their clients' shares by telephone. These privileges are limited under those agreements and the Distributor has the right to reject or suspend those privileges. As a result, those exchanges may be subject to notice requirements, delays and other limitations that do not apply to shareholders who exchange their shares directly by calling or writing to the Transfer Agent. Shareholder Account Rules and Policies - Net Asset Value Per Share is determined as of 4:00 P.M. each day The New York Stock Exchange is open by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets by the number of shares that are outstanding. The Fund's Board of Trustees has established procedures to value the Fund's securities to determine net asset value. In general, securities values are based on market value. There are special procedures for valuing illiquid and restricted securities, obligations for which market values cannot be readily obtained, and call options and hedging instruments. These procedures are described more completely 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. - Telephone Transaction 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 and until 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. If the Transfer Agent does not use reasonable procedures it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized transactions, but otherwise it will not be liable for losses or expenses arising out of telephone instructions reasonably believed to be genuine. If you are unable to reach the Transfer Agent during periods of unusual market activity, you may not be able to complete a telephone transaction and should consider placing your order by mail. - 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. - The redemption price for the Fund's shares will vary from day to day because the value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio fluctuates, and the redemption value, which is the net asset value per share, may be more or less than their original cost. - Payment for redeemed shares is made ordinarily in cash and forwarded by check or through AccountLink (as elected by the shareholder under the redemption procedures described above) within 7 days after the Transfer Agent receives redemption instructions in proper form, except under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission delaying or suspending such payments. 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 15 days from the date the shares were purchased. That delay may be avoided if you purchase shares by 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, and in some cases involuntary redemptions may be made to repay the Distributor for losses from the cancellation of share purchase orders. - Under unusual circumstances, shares of the fund may be redeemed "in kind", which means that the redemption proceeds will be paid with securities from the Fund's portfolio. Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for more details. - "Backup Withholding" of Federal income tax may be applied at the rate of 31% from dividends, distributions and redemption proceeds (including exchanges) if you fail to furnish the Fund a certified Social Security or taxpayer identification number when you sign your application, or if you violate Internal Revenue Service regulations on tax reporting of dividends. - The Fund does not charge a redemption fee, but if your dealer or broker handles your redemption, they may charge a fee. That fee can be avoided by redeeming your Fund shares directly through the Transfer Agent. Under the circumstances described above in "How To Buy Shares," you may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charges when redeeming certain shares. - To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Fund will mail only one copy of each annual and semi-annual report and updated prospectus to shareholders having the same surname and address on the Fund's records. However, each shareholder may call the Transfer Agent at 1-800-525-7048 to ask that copies of those materials be sent personally to that shareholder. Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes Dividends. The Fund intends to declare dividends on an annual basis in December each year, on a date set by the Board of Trustees. The Board may also cause the Fund to declare dividends after the close of the Fund's fiscal year (which ends June 30th). Because the Fund does not have an objective of seeking current income, the amounts of dividends it pays, if any, will likely be small. Capital Gains. The Fund may make distributions annually in December out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains, and the Fund may make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. Long-term capital gains will be separately identified in the tax information the Fund sends you after the end of the year. Short-term capital gains are treated as dividends for tax purposes. There can be no assurances that the Fund will pay any capital gains distributions in a particular year. Distribution Options. When you open your account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. For OppenheimerFunds retirement accounts, all distributions are reinvested. For other accounts, you have four options: - Reinvest All Distributions in the Fund. You can elect to reinvest all dividends and long-term capital gains distributions in additional shares of the Fund. - Reinvest Long-Term Capital Gains Only. You can elect to reinvest long-term capital gains in the Fund while receiving dividends by check or sent to your bank account on AccountLink. - Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive a check for all dividends and long-term capital gains distributions or have them sent to your bank on AccountLink. - Reinvest Your Distributions in Another OppenheimerFunds Account. You can reinvest all distributions in another OppenheimerFunds account you have established. Taxes. If your account is not a tax-deferred retirement account, you should be aware of the following tax implications of investing in the Fund. Long-term capital gains are taxable as long-term capital gains when distributed to shareholders. Dividends paid from short-term capital gains and net investment income are taxable as ordinary income. Distributions are subject to federal income tax and may be subject to state or local taxes. Your distributions are taxable when paid, whether you reinvest them in additional shares or take them in cash. Every year the Fund will send you and the IRS a statement showing the amount of each taxable distribution you received in the previous year. - "Buying a Dividend": When a fund goes ex-dividend, its share price is reduced by the amount of the distribution. If you buy shares on or just before the ex-dividend date, or just before the Fund declares a capital gains distribution, you will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back as a taxable dividend or capital gain. - Taxes on Transactions: Share redemptions, including redemptions for exchanges, are subject to capital gains tax. 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. - Returns of Capital: 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 tax information about your investment. More information is contained in the Statement of Additional Information, and in addition you should consult with your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation.

ABOUT THE FUND Investment Objective and Policies Investment Policies and Strategies. The investment objective and policies of the Fund are described in the Prospectus. Set forth below is supplemental information about those policies and the types of securities in which the Fund invests, as well as the strategies the Fund may use to try to achieve its objective. Capitalized terms used in this Statement of Additional Information have the same meaning as those terms have in the Prospectus. In selecting securities for the Fund's portfolio, the Fund's investment advisor, Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the "Manager"), evaluates the merits of securities primarily through the exercise of its own investment analysis. This may include, among other things, evaluation of the history of the issuer's operations, prospects for the industry of which the issuer is part, the issuer's financial condition, the issuer's pending product developments and developments by competitors, the effect of general market and economic conditions on the issuer's business, and legislative proposals or new laws that might affect the issuer. Current income is not a consideration in the selection of portfolio securities for the Fund, whether for appreciation, defensive or liquidity purposes. The fact that a security has a low yield or does not pay current income will not be an adverse factor in selecting securities to try to achieve the Fund's investment objective of capital appreciation unless the Manager believes that the lack of yield might adversely affect appreciation possibilities. The portion of the Fund's assets allocated to securities and methods selected for capital appreciation will depend upon the judgment of the Fund's Manager as to the future movement of the equity securities markets. If the Manager believes that economic conditions favor a rising market, the Fund will emphasize securities and investment methods selected for high capital growth. If the Manager believes that a market decline is likely, defensive securities and investment methods will be emphasized (See "Temporary Defensive Investments," below). Other Investment Techniques and Strategies - Warrants and Rights. The prices of warrants do not necessarily move in a manner parallel to the prices of the underlying securities. The price the Fund pays for a warrant will be lost unless the warrant is exercised prior to its expiration. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer. - Writing Covered Calls. As described in the Prospectus, the Fund may write covered calls. When the Fund writes a call on a security, it receives a premium and agrees to sell the callable investment to a purchaser of a corresponding call during the call period (usually not more than 9 months) at a fixed exercise price (which may differ from the market price of the underlying investment) regardless of market price changes during the call period. To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, the Fund may purchase a corresponding call in a "closing purchase transaction." A profit or loss will be realized, depending upon whether the net of the amount of option transaction costs and the premium previously received on the call the Fund has written is more or less than the price of the call the Fund subsequently purchased. A profit may also be realized if the call lapses unexercised because the Fund retains the underlying investment and the premium received. Such profits are considered short-term capital gains for Federal income tax purposes, as are premiums on lapsed calls, and when distributed by the Fund are taxable as ordinary income. If the Fund could not effect a closing purchase transaction due to the lack of a market, it would have to hold the callable investment until the call lapsed or was exercised. The Fund may also write calls on futures without owning a futures contract or deliverable securities, provided that at the time the call is written, the Fund covers the call by segregating in escrow an equivalent dollar value of liquid assets. The Fund will segregate additional liquid assets if the value of the escrowed assets drops below 100% of the current value of the future. In no circumstances would an exercise notice as to a future put the Fund in a short futures position. The Fund's Custodian, or a securities depository acting for the Custodian, 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 options that are traded on exchanges, or as to other acceptable escrow securities, so that no margin will be required from the Fund for such option transactions. OCC will release the securities covering a call on the expiration of the call or when the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. Call writing affects the Fund's turnover rate and the brokerage commissions it pays. Commissions, normally higher than on general securities transactions, are payable on writing or purchasing a call. - Hedging With Options and Futures Contracts. The Fund may use hedging instruments for the purposes described in the Prospectus. When hedging to attempt to protect against declines in the market value of the Fund's portfolio, or 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, the Fund may: (i) sell Stock Index Futures, (ii) buy puts on such Futures or securities, or (iii) write covered calls on securities held by it or on Stock Index Futures (as described in the Prospectus). When hedging to establish a position in the equity securities markets as a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual equity securities the Fund may: (i) buy Stock Index Futures, or (ii) buy calls on Stock Index Futures or securities. Normally, the Fund would then purchase the equity securities and terminate the hedging portion. The Fund's strategy of hedging with futures and options on futures will be incidental to the Fund's investment activities in the underlying cash market. In the future, the Fund may employ hedging instruments and strategies that are not presently contemplated but which may be developed, to the extent such investment methods are consistent with the Fund's investment objective, and are legally permissible and disclosed in the Prospectus. Additional information about the hedging instruments the Fund may use is provided below. - Stock Index Futures. As described in the Prospectus, the Fund may invest in Stock Index Futures only if they relate to broadly-based stock indices. A stock index is considered to be broadly-based if it includes stocks that are not limited to issuers in any particular industry or group of industries. A stock index assigns relative values to the common stocks included in the index and fluctuates with the changes in the market value of those stocks. Stock indices cannot be purchased or sold directly. Stock Index Futures are contracts based on the future value of the basket of securities that comprise the underlying stock index. The contracts obligate the seller to deliver, and the purchaser to take, cash to settle the futures transaction or to enter into an offsetting contract. No physical delivery of the securities underlying the index is made on settling the futures obligation. No monetary amount is paid or received by the Fund on the purchase or sale of a Stock Index Future. Upon entering into a futures transaction, the Fund will be required to deposit an initial margin payment, in cash or U.S. Treasury bills, with the futures commission merchant (the "futures broker"). Initial margin payments will be deposited with the Fund's Custodian in an account registered in the futures broker's name; however, the futures broker can gain access to that account only under certain specified conditions. As the future is marked to market (that is, its value on the Fund's books is changed) to reflect changes in its market value, subsequent margin payments, called variation margin, will be paid to or by the futures broker on a daily basis. At any time prior to the expiration of the future, the Fund may elect to close out its position by taking an opposite position, at which time a final determination of variation margin is made and additional cash is required to be paid by or released to the Fund. Any gain or loss is then realized by the Fund on the future for tax purposes. Although Stock Index Futures by their terms call for settlement by the delivery of cash, in most cases the settlement obligation is fulfilled without such delivery by entering into an offsetting transaction. All futures transactions are effected through a clearing house associated with the exchange on which the contracts are traded. - Purchasing Puts and Calls. The Fund may 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 purchases a call (other than in a closing purchase transaction), it pays a premium and, except as to calls on stock indices, 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. In purchasing a call, the Fund benefits only if the call is sold at a profit or if, during the call period, the market price of the underlying investment is above the sum of the call price, transaction costs, and the premium paid, and the call is exercised. If the call is not exercised or sold (whether or not at a profit), it will become worthless at its expiration date and the Fund will lose its premium payment and the right to purchase the underlying investment. When the Fund purchases a call on a stock index, it pays a premium, but settlement is in cash rather than by delivery of the underlying investment to the Fund. When the Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium and, except as to puts on stock indices, has the right to sell the underlying investment to a seller of a corresponding put on the same investment during the put period at a fixed exercise price. Buying a put on an investment the Fund owns (a "protective put") 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 and the Fund will lose the premium payment and the right to sell the underlying investment. However, the put may be sold prior to expiration (whether or not at a profit). Puts and calls on broadly-based stock indices or Stock Index Futures are similar to puts and calls on securities or futures contracts except that all settlements are in cash and gain or loss depends on changes in the index in question (and thus on price movements in the stock market generally) rather than on price movements of individual securities or futures contracts. When the Fund buys a call on a stock index or Stock Index Future, it pays a premium. If the Fund exercises the call during the call period, a seller of a corresponding call on the same investment will pay the Fund an amount of cash to settle the call if the closing level of the stock index or future upon which the call is based is greater than the exercise price of the call. That cash payment is equal to the difference between the closing price of the call and the exercise price of the call times a specified multiple (the "multiplier") which determines the total dollar value for each point of difference. When the Fund buys a put on a stock index or Stock Index Future, it pays a premium and has the right during the put period to require a seller of a corresponding put, upon the Fund's exercise of its put, to deliver cash to the Fund to settle the put if the closing level of the stock index or Stock Index Future upon which the put is based is less than the exercise price of the put. That cash payment is determined by the multiplier, in the same manner as described above as to calls. When the Fund purchases a put on a stock index, or on a Stock Index Future not owned by it, the put protects the Fund to the extent that the index moves in a similar pattern to the securities the Fund holds. The Fund can either resell the put or, in the case of a put on a Stock Index Future, buy the underlying investment and sell it at the exercise price. The resale price of the put will vary inversely with the price of the underlying investment. If the market price of the underlying investment is above the exercise price, and as a result the put is not exercised, the put will become worthless on the expiration date. In the event of a decline in price of the underlying investment, the Fund could exercise or sell the put at a profit to attempt to offset some or all of its loss on its portfolio securities. The Fund's option activities may affect its portfolio turnover rate and brokerage commissions. The exercise of calls written by the Fund may 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 will pay a brokerage commission each time it buys or sells a call, put or an underlying investment in connection with the exercise of a put or call. Such commissions may be higher 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, and 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 investments. - Regulatory Aspects of Hedging Instruments. The Fund must operate within certain restrictions as to its long and short positions in futures and options thereon under a rule ("CFTC Rule") adopted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") under the Commodity Exchange Act (the "CEA"). The CEA excludes the Fund from registration with the CFTC as a "commodity pool operator" (as defined under the CEA), if the Fund complies with the CFTC Rule. Under these restrictions, the Fund will not, as to any positions, whether long, short or a combination thereof, enter into Futures transactions and options thereon for which the aggregate initial margins and premiums exceed 5% of the fair market value of the Fund's assets, with certain exclusions as defined in the CFTC Rule. Under the restrictions, the Fund also must, as to its short positions, use futures and options thereon solely for "bona fide hedging purposes" within the meaning and intent of the applicable provisions of the CEA. Transactions in options by the Fund are subject to limitations established by option exchanges governing the maximum number of options that may be written or held by a single investor or group of investors acting in concert, 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 which the Fund may write or hold may be affected by options written or held by other entities, including other investment companies having the same adviser as the Fund (or an adviser that is an affiliate of the Fund's adviser). 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. Due to requirements under the Investment Company Act, when the Fund purchases a Stock Index Future, the Fund will maintain, in a segregated account or accounts with its Custodian, cash or readily-marketable, short- term (maturing in one year or less) debt instruments in an amount equal to the market value of the securities underlying such Future, less the margin deposit applicable to it. - Tax Aspects of Covered Calls and Hedging Instruments. 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). One of the tests for the Fund's qualification as a regulated investment company is that less than 30% of its gross income must be derived from gains realized on the sale of securities held for less than three months. To comply with this 30% cap, the Fund will limit the extent to which it engages in the following activities, but will not be precluded from them: (i) selling investments, including Stock Index Futures, held for less than three months, whether or not they were purchased on the exercise of a call held by the Fund; (ii) purchasing options which expire in less than three months; (iii) effecting closing transactions with respect to calls or puts written or purchased less than three months previously; (iv) exercising puts or calls held by the Fund for less than three months; or (v) writing calls on investments held less than three months. - Risks of Hedging With Options and Futures. 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. In addition to the risks associated with hedging that are discussed in the Prospectus and above, there is a risk in using short hedging by (i) selling Stock Index Futures or (ii) purchasing puts on stock indices or Stock Index Futures to attempt to protect against declines in the value of the Fund's equity securities. The risk is that the prices of Stock Index Futures will correlate imperfectly with the behavior of the cash (i.e., market value) prices of the Fund's equity securities. The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets are subject to distortions, due to differences in the natures of those markets. First, all participants in the futures markets are subject to margin deposit and maintenance requirements. Rather than meeting additional margin deposit requirements, investors may close out futures contracts through offsetting transactions which could distort the normal relationship between the cash and futures markets. Second, the liquidity of the futures markets 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 markets could be reduced, thus producing distortion. Third, from the point of view of speculators, the deposit requirements in the futures markets are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities markets. Therefore, increased participation by speculators in the futures markets may cause temporary price distortions. 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 equity securities being hedged and movements in the price of the hedging instruments, the Fund may use hedging instruments in a greater dollar amount than the dollar amount of equity securities being hedged if the historical volatility of the prices of the equity securities being hedged is more than the historical volatility of the applicable index. It is also possible that if the Fund has used hedging instruments in a short hedge, the market may advance and the value of equity securities held in the Fund's portfolio may decline. If that occurred, the Fund would lose money on the hedging instruments and also experience a decline in value in 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 equity securities will tend to move in the same direction as the indices upon which the hedging instruments are based. If the Fund uses hedging instruments to establish a position in the equities markets as a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual equity securities (long hedging) by buying Stock Index Futures and/or calls on such Futures, on securities or on stock indices, it is possible that the market may decline. If the Fund then concludes not to invest in equity securities at that time because of concerns as to a possible further market decline 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 equity securities purchased. - Borrowing for Leverage. From time to time, the Fund may increase its ownership of securities by borrowing from banks on an unsecured basis and investing the borrowed funds, subject to the restrictions stated in the Prospectus. Any such borrowing will be made only from banks, and, pursuant to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"), will only be made 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, when computed in that manner, should fail to meet the 300% asset coverage requirement, the Fund is required within three days to reduce its bank debt to the extent necessary to meet that requirement. To do so, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investments at a time when independent investment judgment would not dictate such sale. - Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The securities of small, unseasoned companies may have a limited trading market, which may adversely affect the Fund's ability to dispose of them and can reduce the price the Fund might be able to obtain for them. If other investment companies and investors that invest in this type of securities trade the same securities when the Fund attempts to dispose of its holdings, the Fund may receive lower prices than might otherwise be obtained, because of the thinner market for such securities. - Foreign Securities. "Foreign securities" include equity and debt securities of companies organized under the laws of countries other than the United States and debt securities of foreign governments that are 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, 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, including 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. If the Fund's portfolio securities are held abroad, the countries in which they may be held and the sub-custodians holding them must be approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees under applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. - Risks of Foreign Investing. Investments in foreign securities present special additional risks and considerations not typically associated with investments in domestic securities: reduction of income by foreign taxes; fluctuation in value of foreign portfolio investments due to changes in currency rates and control regulations (e.g., currency blockage); transaction charges for currency exchange; lack of public information about foreign issuers; lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers; less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges; greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the U.S.; less regulation of foreign issuers, stock exchanges and brokers than in the U.S.; greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits; higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.; increased risks of delays in settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates for portfolio securities; possibilities in some countries of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political, financial or social instability or adverse diplomatic developments; and 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. Options on Foreign Currencies. The Fund intends to write and purchase both covered and uncovered calls and puts on foreign currencies. A call written on a foreign currency by the Fund 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 for additional cash consideration held in a segregated account by its custodian) upon conversion or exchange of other foreign currency held in its portfolio. Normally this will be effected by the sale of a security denominated in the relevant currency at a price higher or lower than the original acquisition price of the security. This will result in a loss or a gain in addition to that resulting from the currency option position. An uncovered call may be written by the Fund 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 due to an adverse change in the exchange rate. This is a cross-hedging strategy. In such circumstances, the Fund collateralizes the option by maintaining in a segregated account with the Fund's custodian, cash or Government Securities in an amount not less than the value of the underlying foreign currency in U.S. dollars marked-to-market daily. Forward Contracts. A Forward Contract involves bilateral obligations of one party to purchase, and another party to sell, a specific currency at a future date (which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties), at a price set at the time the contract is entered into. These contracts are traded in the interbank market conducted directly between 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 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. In addition, although Forward Contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currencies, at the same time they limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currencies increase. The Fund will not speculate with Forward Contracts or foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may enter into Forward Contracts with respect to specific transactions. For example, when the Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency, or when the Fund anticipates receipt of dividend payments in a foreign currency, the Fund may desire to "lock-in" the U.S. dollar price of the security or the U.S. dollar equivalent of such payment by entering into a Forward Contract, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars per unit of foreign currency, for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in the underlying transaction ("transaction hedge"). The Fund will thereby be able to protect itself against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the relationship between 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 such payments are made or received. The Fund may also use Forward Contracts to lock in the U.S. dollar value of portfolio positions ("position hedge"). In a position hedge, for example, when the Fund believes that foreign currency may suffer a substantial decline against the U.S. dollar, it may enter into a forward sale contract to sell an amount of that foreign currency approximating the value of some or all of the Fund's portfolio securities denominated in such foreign currency, or when the Fund believes that the U.S. dollar may suffer a substantial decline against a foreign currency, it may enter into a forward purchase contract to buy that foreign currency for a fixed dollar amount. In this situation the Fund may, in the alternative, enter into a forward contract to sell a different foreign currency for a fixed U.S. dollar amount where the Fund believes that the U.S. dollar value of the currency to be sold pursuant to the 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 ("cross-hedge"). The Fund will not enter into such Forward Contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts where 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. The Fund, however, in order to avoid excess transactions and transaction costs, may maintain a net exposure to Forward Contracts in excess of the value of the Fund's portfolio securities or other assets denominated in that currency provided the excess amount is "covered" by liquid, high-grade debt securities, denominated in any currency, at least equal at all times to the amount of such excess. As an 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 or 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 contract price. Unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for the Fund than if it had not entered into such contracts. The precise matching of the Forward Contract amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of these securities between the date the Forward Contract is entered into and the date it is sold. Accordingly, it may be necessary for the Fund to purchase additional foreign currency on the spot (i.e., cash) market (and bear the expense of such purchase), if the market value of the security is less than the amount of foreign currency the Fund is obligated to deliver and if a decision is made to sell the security and make delivery of the foreign currency. Conversely, it may be necessary to sell on the spot market some of the foreign currency received upon the sale of the portfolio security if its market value exceeds the amount of foreign currency the Fund is obligated to deliver. 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 transactions costs. At or before the maturity of a Forward Contract requiring the Fund to sell a currency, the Fund may either sell a portfolio security and use the sale proceeds to make delivery of the currency or retain the security and offset its contractual obligation to deliver the currency by purchasing a second contract pursuant to which the Fund will obtain, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the currency that it is obligated to deliver. Similarly, the Fund may 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 to the extent the exchange rate or rates between the currencies involved moved between the execution dates of the first contract and offsetting contract. The cost 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 fees or commissions are involved. Because such contracts are not traded on an exchange, the Fund must evaluate the credit and performance risk of each particular counterparty under a 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 investors should be aware of the costs of currency conversion. 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 may offer to sell a foreign currency to the Fund at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the Fund desire to resell that currency to the dealer. - Interest Rate Swap Transactions. Swap agreements entail both interest rate risk and credit risk. There is a risk that, based on movements of interest rates in the future, the payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will have been greater than those received by it. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty to an interest rate swap defaults, the Fund's loss will consist of the net amount of contractual interest payments that the Fund has not yet received. The Manager will monitor the creditworthiness of counterparties to the Fund's interest rate swap transactions on an ongoing basis. The Fund will enter into swap transactions with appropriate counterparties pursuant to master netting agreements. A master netting agreement provides that all swaps done between the Fund and the counterparty under the master agreement shall be regarded as parts of an integral agreement. If on any date amounts are payable in the same currency in respect of one or more swap transactions, the net amount payable on that date in that currency shall be paid. In addition, the master netting agreement may provide that if one party defaults generally or on one swap, the counterparty may terminate the swaps with that party. Under such agreements, if there is a default resulting in a loss to one party, the measure of that party's damages is calculated by reference to the average cost of a replacement swap with respect to each swap (i.e., the mark-to-market value at the time of the termination of each swap). The gains and losses on all swaps are then netted, and the result is the counterparty's gain or loss on termination. The termination of all swaps and the netting of gains and losses on termination is generally referred to as "aggregation." - Restricted and Illiquid Securities. To enable the Fund to sell restricted securities not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the Fund may have to cause those securities to be registered. The expenses of registration of restricted securities may be negotiated by the Fund with the issuer at the time such securities are purchased by the Fund, if such registration is required before such securities may be sold publicly. When registration must be arranged because the Fund wishes to sell the security, a considerable period may elapse between the time the decision is made to sell the securities and the time the Fund would be permitted to sell them. The Fund would bear the risks of any downward price fluctuation during that period. The Fund may also acquire, through private placements, securities having contractual restrictions on their resale, which might limit the Fund's ability to dispose of such securities and might lower the amount realizable upon the sale of such securities. The Fund has percentage 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 pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that those securities have been determined to be liquid by the Board of Trustees of the Fund or 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 holding of that security may be deemed to be illiquid. - Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities subject to the restrictions stated in the Prospectus. Under applicable regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), the loan collateral on each business day must at least equal the value of the loaned securities and must consist of cash, bank letters of credit or securities of the U.S. Government (or its agencies or instrumentalities). 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. Such terms and the issuing bank must be satisfactory to the Fund. When it lends securities, the Fund receives amounts equal to the dividends or interest on loaned securities and also receives one or more of (a) negotiated loan fees, (b) interest on securities used as collateral, and (c) interest on 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. The Fund will not lend its portfolio securities to any officer, trustee, employee or affiliate of the Fund or the Manager. 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. - Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may acquire securities subject to repurchase agreements for liquidity purposes to meet anticipated redemptions, or pending the investment of the proceeds from sales of Fund shares, or pending the settlement of purchases of portfolio securities. In a repurchase transaction, the Fund acquires a security from, and simultaneously resells it to, an approved vendor. An "approved vendor" is a U.S. commercial bank or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank or a broker-dealer which has been designated a primary dealer in government securities, which must meet credit requirements set by the Fund's Board of Trustees from time to time. 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. The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery pursuant to the resale typically will occur within one to five days of the purchase. Repurchase agreements are considered "loans" under the Investment Company Act, 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. Additionally, the Manager will impose creditworthiness requirements to confirm that the vendor is financially sound and will continuously monitor the collateral's value. - Temporary Defensive Investments. When the equity markets in general are declining, the Fund may commit an increasing portion of its assets to defensive securities. These may include the types of securities described in the Prospectus. When investing for defensive purposes, the Fund will normally emphasize investment in short-term debt securities (that is, securities maturing in one year or less from the date of purchase), since those types of securities are generally more liquid and usually may be disposed of quickly without significant gains or losses so that the Manager may have liquid assets when it wishes to make investments in securities for appreciation possibilities. Other Investment Restrictions The Fund's most significant investment restrictions are set forth in the Prospectus. There are additional investment restrictions that the Fund must follow that are also fundamental policies. Fundamental policies and the Fund's investment objective cannot be changed without the vote of a "majority" of the Fund's outstanding voting securities. Under the Investment Company Act, such a "majority" vote is defined as the vote of the holders of the lesser of (1) 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 (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares. Under these additional restrictions, the Fund cannot: (1) lend money, but the Fund may invest in a portion of a publicly distributed issue of bonds, debentures, commercial paper, or other similar corporate obligations; the Fund may also make loans of portfolio securities provided the loan is collateralized in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and provided that immediately after any such loan the value of the securities loaned does not exceed 25% of the total value of the Fund's assets; (2) underwrite securities of other companies, except insofar as it might be deemed to be an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 in the resale of any securities held in its own portfolio; (3) invest in or hold securities of any issuer if those officers, directors and trustees of the Fund or its adviser owning individually more than 0.5% of the securities of such issuer together own more than 5% of the securities of such issuer; (4) invest in commodities or commodity contracts; however, the Fund may buy and sell any of the Hedging Instruments it may use, whether or not such Hedging Instrument is considered to be a commodity or commodity contract; (5) invest in real estate or interests in real estate, but may purchase readily marketable securities of companies holding real estate or interests therein; (6) purchase securities on margin; however, the Fund may make margin deposits in connection with any of the Hedging Instruments which it may use; or (7) mortgage, hypothecate or pledge any of its assets; however, this does not prohibit the escrow arrangements contemplated by the writing of covered call options or other collateral or margin arrangements in connection with any of the Hedging Instruments it may use. The Fund has further undertaken, as a non-fundamental investment policy, in response to state securities regulations, that it will not invest in oil, gas, or mineral exploration or development programs; the Fund may terminate that undertaking at any time. How the Fund Is Managed Organization and History. 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, or 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. In addition, if the Trustees receive a request from at least 10 shareholders (who have been shareholders for at least six months) holding shares of the Fund valued at $25,000 or more or holding at least 1% of the Fund's outstanding shares, whichever is less, 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, or the Trustees may take such other action as set forth under Section 16(c) of the Investment Company Act. The Fund's Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder or Trustee liability for the Fund's obligations, and provides for indemnification and reimbursement of expenses out of its property for any shareholder held personally liable for its obligations. The Declaration of Trust also provides that the Fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the Fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, while Massachusetts law permits a shareholder of a business trust (such as the Fund) to be held personally liable as a "partner" under certain circumstances, the risk of a Fund shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to the relatively remote circumstances in which the Fund would be unable to meet its obligations described above. Any person doing business with the Trust, and any shareholder of the Trust, agrees under the Trust's Declaration of Trust to look solely to the assets of the Trust for satisfaction of any claim or demand which may arise out of any dealings with the Trust, and the Trustees shall have no personal liability to any such person, to the extent permitted by law. The Fund's Declaration of Trust and an SEC exemptive order permits it to offer shares of more than one class. In the event the Fund determines to offer a class of shares in addition to the one presently offered, the Prospectus will be amended accordingly. Trustees and Officers of the Fund.

The officers of the Fund are affiliated with the Manager; they and the Trustees of the Fund who are affiliated with the Manager (Mr. Galli and Mr. Spiro, who is both an officer and Trustee) receive no salary or fee from the Fund. During the Fund's fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, the remuneration (including expense reimbursements) paid to all Trustees of the Fund (excluding Mr. Galli and Mr. Spiro) as a group for services as trustees and as members of one or more committees of the Board, totalled $34,778. The Fund has adopted a retirement plan that provides for payment to a retired Trustee of up to 80% of the average compensation paid during that Trustee's five years of service in which the highest compensation was received. A Trustee must serve in that capacity for any of the New York-based OppenheimerFunds for at least 15 years to be eligible for the maximum payment; no payments have been made by the Fund under the plan as of June 30, 1994. The accumulated liability for the Fund's projected benefit obligations under the plan was $117,741 as of that date. - Major Shareholders. As of September 30, 1994, no person owned of record or was known by the Fund to own beneficially 5% or more of the Fund's outstanding shares. The Manager and Its Affiliates. The Manager is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp. ("OAC"), a holding company controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. OAC is also owned in part by certain of the Manager's directors and officers, some of whom also serve as officers of the Fund, and two of whom (Messrs. Galli and Spiro) serve as Trustees of the Fund. - The Investment Advisory Agreement. The investment advisory agreement between the Manager and the Fund requires the Manager, at its expense, to provide the Fund with adequate office space, facilities and equipment, and to provide and supervise the activities of all administrative and clerical personnel required to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund, including 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. Expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the advisory agreement or by the Distributor under the General Distributors Agreement are paid by the Fund. The advisory agreement lists examples of expenses paid by the Fund, the major categories of which 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. For the Fund's fiscal years ended June 30, 1992, 1993 and 1994, the management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager were $2,638,571, $2,642,347 and $2,848,414, respectively. The advisory agreement contains no provision limiting the Fund's expenses. However, independently of the advisory agreement, the Manager has undertaken that the total expenses of the Fund in any fiscal year (including the management fee but excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, distribution assistance payments and extraordinary expenses such as litigation costs) shall not exceed the most stringent expense limitation imposed under state law applicable to the Fund. Pursuant to the undertaking, the Manager's fee will be reduced at the end of a month so that there will not be any accrued but unpaid liability under this undertaking. Currently, the most stringent state expense limitation is imposed by California, and limits the Fund's expenses (with specified exclusions) to 2.5% of the first $30 million of average annual net assets, 2% of the next $70 million of average annual net assets, and 1.5% of average annual net assets in excess of $100 million. The Manager reserves the right to terminate or amend the undertaking at any time. Any assumption of the Fund's expenses under this limitation would lower the Fund's overall expense ratio and increase its total return during any period in which expenses are limited. The Agreement contains no expense limitation. However, independently of the Agreement, the Manager has undertaken that the total expenses of the Fund in any fiscal year (including the management fee but excluding taxes, interest, distribution plan payments, brokerage commissions and any extraordinary non-recurring expenses such as litigation costs) shall not exceed (and the Manager undertakes to reduce the Fund's management fee in the amount by which such expenses shall exceed) the most stringent state regulatory limitation on fund expenses applicable to the Fund. At present, that limitation is imposed by California and limits expenses (with specified exclusions) to 2.5% of the first $30 million of average annual net assets, 2% of the next $70 million of average net assets and 1.5% of average net assets in excess of $100 million. The payment of the management fee at the end of any month will be reduced so that there will not be any accrued but unpaid liability under this expense limitation. Any assumption of the Fund's expenses under this undertaking would lower the Fund's overall expense ratio and increase its total return during any period in which expenses are limited. The Manager reserves the right to vary the amounts of expenses assumed or eliminate the assumption of expenses altogether. As long as the Manager has acted with due care and in good faith, the Manager is not liable for any loss sustained by reason of any investment, the adoption of any investment policy, or the purchase, sale or retention of any security, provided, however, that the Agreement does not exculpate the Manager from liability for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or reckless disregard of its obligations under the Agreement. - The Distributor. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Fund, the Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund's shares but is not obligated to sell a specific number of shares. Expenses normally attributable to sales, including advertising and the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses, other than those furnished to existing shareholders, are borne by the Distributor. During the Fund's fiscal years ended June 30, 1992, 1993 and 1994, the aggregate sales charges on sales of the Fund's shares were $990,171, $714,148 and $629,755, respectively, of which the Distributor and an affiliated broker-dealer retained in the aggregate $246,042, $189,859 and $168,109 in those respective years. For additional information about distribution of the Fund's shares and the expenses connected with such activities, please refer to "Service Plan," below. - The Transfer Agent. Oppenheimer Shareholder Services, the Fund's Transfer Agent, is responsible for maintaining the Fund's shareholder registry and shareholder accounting records, and for shareholder servicing and administrative functions. Brokerage Policies of the Fund Brokerage Provisions of the Investment Advisory Agreement. One of the duties of the Manager under the advisory agreement is to arrange the portfolio transactions for the Fund. The advisory agreement contains provisions relating to the employment of broker-dealers ("brokers") to effect the Fund's portfolio transactions. In doing so, 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, as may, in its best judgment based on all relevant factors, implement the policy of the Fund to obtain, at reasonable expense, the "best execution" (prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable price obtainable) of such transactions. The Manager need not seek competitive commission bidding but is expected to minimize the commissions paid to the extent consistent with the interest and policies of the Fund as established by its Board of Trustees. Under the advisory agreement, the Manager is authorized to select brokers 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 have charged if a good faith determination is made by the Manager and the commission is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided. Subject to the foregoing considerations, the Manager may also consider sales of shares of the Fund and other investment companies managed by the Manager or its affiliates as a factor in the selection of brokers for the Fund's portfolio transactions. Description of Brokerage Practices Followed by the Manager. Subject to the provisions of the advisory agreement, the procedures and rules described above, allocations of brokerage are made by portfolio managers of the Manager under the supervision of the Manager's executive officers. Transactions in securities other than those for which an exchange is the primary market are generally done with principals or market makers. Brokerage commissions are paid primarily for effecting transactions in listed securities and are otherwise paid only if it appears likely that a better price or execution can be obtained. When the Fund engages in an option transaction, ordinarily the same broker will be used for the purchase or sale of the option and any transaction in the securities to which the option relates. When possible, concurrent orders to purchase or sell the same security by more than one of the accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates are combined. The transactions effected pursuant to such 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 money market instruments and debt obligations are principal transactions at net prices. For those transactions, instead of using a broker the Fund normally deals directly with the selling or purchasing principal or market maker unless it is determined that a better price or execution can be obtained by using a broker. Purchases of these securities from underwriters include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and purchases from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked price. The Fund seeks to obtain prompt execution of such orders at the most favorable net price. 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, and investment research received for the commissions of those other accounts may be useful both to the Fund and one or more of such other accounts. Such research, which may be supplied by a third party at the instance of a broker, includes information and analyses on particular companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and portfolio strategy, receipt of 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 research services provided by brokers broadens the scope and supplement the research activities of the Manager, by making available additional views for consideration and comparisons, and by enabling the Manager to obtain market information for the valuation of securities held in the Fund's portfolio or being considered for purchase. The Board of Trustees, including the "independent" Trustees of the Fund (those Trustees of the Fund who are not "interested persons" as defined in the Investment Company Act, and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the advisory agreement or the Distribution Plans described below) annually reviews information furnished by the Manager as to the commissions paid to brokers furnishing such services so that the Board may ascertain whether the amount of such commissions was reasonably related to the value or benefit of such services. During the Fund's fiscal years ended June 30, 1992, 1993 and 1994, total brokerage commissions paid by the Fund (not including spreads or concessions on principal transactions on a net trade basis) were $623,069, $523,921 and $1,689,639, respectively. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, $216,461 was paid to brokers as commissions in return for research services; the aggregate dollar amount of those transactions was $109,841,151. The transactions giving rise to those commissions were allocated in accordance with the Manager's internal allocation procedures. Performance of the Fund Total Return Information. As described in the Prospectus, from time to time the "average annual total return," "cumulative total return," "average annual total return at net asset value" and "total return at net asset value" of an investment in shares of the Fund may be advertised. An explanation of how these total returns are calculated for each class and the components of those calculations is set forth below. The Fund's advertisements of its performance data must, under applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), include the average annual total returns for the Fund's shares for the 1, 5, and 10-year periods ending as of the most recently-ended calendar quarter prior to the publication of the advertisement. This 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 such information as a basis for comparison with other investments. An investment in the Fund is not insured; its returns and share prices are not guaranteed and normally will fluctuate on a daily basis. When redeemed, an investor's shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns for any given past period are not a prediction or representation by the Fund of future returns. The returns on shares of the Fund are affected by portfolio quality, the type of investments the Fund holds and its operating expenses. - Average Annual Total Returns. The Fund's "average annual total return" 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") to achieve an Ending Redeemable Value ("ERV") of that investment, according to the following formula: ( ERV ) 1/n (-----) -1 = Average Annual Total Return ( P ) - Cumulative Total Returns. The "cumulative total return" calculation measures the change in value of a hypothetical investment of $1,000 over an entire period of years. Its calculation uses some of the same factors as average annual total return, but it does not average the rate of return on an annual basis. Cumulative total return is determined as follows: ERV - P ------- = Total Return P In calculating total return, the current maximum sales charge of 5.75% (as a percentage of the offering price) is deducted from the initial investment ("P") (unless the return is shown at net asset value, as described below). Total returns also assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions during the period are reinvested to buy additional shares at net asset value per share, and that the investment is redeemed at the end of the period. The "average annual total returns" on an investment in the Fund for the one, five and ten year periods ended June 30, 1994 were (8.95%), 5.68% and 12.54%, respectively. The "cumulative total return" for the ten year period ended June 30, 1994 was 225.87%. During a portion of the periods for which total returns are shown, the Fund's maximum initial sales charge rate was higher; as a result, performance returns on actual investments during those periods may be lower than the results shown. - Total Returns at Net Asset Value. From time to time the Fund may also quote an average annual total return at net asset value or a cumulative total return at net asset value for an investment in the Fund. Each is based on the difference in net asset value per share at the beginning and at the end of the period for a hypothetical investment (without considering the sales charge) and takes into consideration the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. The cumulative total return at net asset value of the Fund's shares for the ten-year period ended December 31, 1993 was 257.61%. The average annual total returns at net asset value for the one, five and ten-year periods ended December 31, 1993 were 19.63%, 19.19% and 15.02%, respectively. Total return information may be useful to investors in reviewing the Fund's performance. However, when comparing total return of an investment in the Fund with that of other alternatives, investors should understand that as the Fund is an aggressive equity fund seeking capital appreciation, its shares are subject to greater market risks and volatility than shares of funds having other investment objectives and that the Fund is designed for investors who are willing to accept greater risk of loss in the hopes of realizing greater gains. Other Performance Comparisons. From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking of its performance by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"), a widely-recognized independent service. Lipper monitors the performance of regulated investment companies, including the Fund, and ranks their performance for various periods based on categories relating to investment objectives. The performance of the Fund is ranked against (i) all other funds (excluding money market funds), (ii) all other capital appreciation funds and (iii) all other capital appreciation funds in a specific size category. 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. From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking of its performance by Morningstar, Inc., an independent mutual fund monitoring service that ranks mutual funds, including the Fund, monthly in broad investment categories (equity, taxable bond, municipal bond and hybrid) based on risk-adjusted investment return. Investment return measures a fund's three, five and ten-year average annual total returns (when available) in excess of 90-day Treasury bill returns after considering sales charges and expenses. Risk reflects fund performance below 90-day U.S. Treasury bill monthly returns. Risk and return are combined to produce star rankings reflecting performance relative to the average fund in a fund's category. Five stars is the "highest" ranking (top 10%), 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%). Morningstar ranks the Fund in relation to other equity funds. Rankings are subject to change. The total return on an investment in the Fund's shares may be compared with performance for the same period of either the Dow-Jones Industrial Average ("Dow") or the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500"), both of which are widely recognized indices of stock market performance. Both indices consist of unmanaged groups of common stocks; the Dow consists of thirty such issues. The performance of both indices includes a factor for the reinvestment of income dividends. Neither index reflects reinvestment of capital gains or takes transaction charges or taxes into consideration as these items are not applicable to indices. Investors may also wish to compare the Fund's return to the returns on fixed income investments available from banks and thrift institutions, such as 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 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, and Treasury bills are guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government. Service Plan The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the "Plan") under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act pursuant to which the Fund will reimburse the Distributor quarterly for all or a portion of its costs incurred in connection with the servicing of the Fund's shares, as described in the Prospectus. The Plan has been approved by a vote of (i) the Board of Trustees of the Fund, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that Plan, and (ii) the holders of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the shares of the Fund. In addition, under the Plan the Manager and the Distributor, in their sole discretion, from time to time may use their own resources (which, in the case of the Manager, may include profits from the advisory fee it receives from the Fund) to make payments to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions (each is referred to as a "Recipient" under the Plan) for distribution and administrative services they perform. The Distributor and the Manager may, in their sole discretion, increase or decrease the amount of payments they make from their own resources to Recipients. Unless terminated as described below, the Plan continues in effect from year to year but only as long as its continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Fund's Board of Trustees and its Independent Trustees by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such continuance. The 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 Fund's outstanding shares. The Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount of payments to be made unless such amendment is approved by the Fund's shareholders. All material amendments must be approved by the Board and the Independent Trustees. While the Plan is in effect, the Treasurer of the Fund shall provide written reports to the Fund's Board of Trustees at least quarterly on the amount of all payments made pursuant to the Plan, the purpose for which each payment was made and the identity of each Recipient that received any payment. Those reports, including the allocations on which they are based, will be subject to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees in the exercise of their fiduciary duty. The Plan further provides 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 such selection and nomination if the final decision on selection or nomination is approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees. Under the Plan, no payment will be made to any Recipient in any quarter if the aggregate net asset value of all Fund shares held by the Recipient for itself and its customers did not exceed a minimum amount, if any, that may be determined from time to time by a majority of the Fund's Independent Trustees. Initially, the Board of Trustees has set the fee at the maximum rate and set no minimum amount. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, payments under the Plan totalled $241,045, all of which was paid by the Distributor to Recipients, including $4,498 paid to MML Investor Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Distributor. Any unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor for any fiscal year may not be recovered in subsequent years. Payments received by the Distributor under the Plan will not be used to pay any interest expense, carrying charge, or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead by the Distributor. ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT How To Buy Shares Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share. The net asset value per share of the Fund is determined each day The New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") is open, as of 4:00 P.M., New York time, that day, by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets by the number of the Fund's shares outstanding. The NYSE's most recent annual announcement (which is subject to change) states that it will close on New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on other days. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in debt securities or in foreign securities primarily listed on foreign exchanges or in foreign over-the-counter markets which may trade on Saturdays or customary U.S. business holidays on which the NYSE is closed. Because the Fund's offering price and net asset value will not be calculated on those days, the Fund's net asset value per share may be significantly affected on such days, when shareholders may not purchase or redeem shares. The Fund's Board of Trustees has established procedures for the valuation of the Fund's securities, generally as follows: (i) equity securities traded on a securities exchange or on NASDAQ for which last sale information is regularly reported are valued at the last reported sale price on their primary exchange or NASDAQ that day (or, in the absence of sales that day, at values based on the last sales prices of the preceding trading day, or closing bid and asked prices); (ii) securities traded on NASDAQ and other unlisted equity securities for which last sale prices are not regularly reported but for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available are valued at the highest closing bid price at the time of valuation, or, if no closing bid price is reported, on the basis of a closing bid price obtained from a dealer who maintains an active market in that security; (iii) debt securities having a maturity in excess of 60 days are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices determined by a portfolio pricing service approved by the Board or obtained from active market makers on the basis of reasonable inquiry; (iv) short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts; (v) securities (including restricted securities) not having readily-available market quotations are valued at fair value under the Board's procedures; and (vi) securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the closing or last sales prices reported on a principal exchange, or, if none, at the mean between closing bid and asked prices and reflect prevailing rates of exchange taken from the closing price on the London foreign exchange market that day. Trading in securities on European and Asian exchanges and over-the- counter markets is normally completed before the close of the NYSE. Events affecting the values of foreign securities traded in stock markets that occur between the time their prices are determined and the close of the NYSE will not be reflected in the Fund's calculation of net asset value unless the Board of Trustees or the Manager, under procedures established by the Board of Trustees, determines that the particular event would materially affect the Fund's net asset value, in which case an adjustment would be made. Foreign currency will be valued as close to the time fixed for the valuation date as is reasonably practicable. The values of securities denominated in foreign currency will be converted to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at the time of valuation. Puts, calls and futures held by the Fund are valued at the last sales price on the principal exchange on which they are traded, or on NASDAQ, as applicable, or, if there are no sales that day, in accordance with (i), above. Forward currency contracts are valued at the closing price on the London foreign exchange market. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset, and an equivalent deferred credit is included in the liability section. The deferred credit is "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the option. In determining the Fund's gain on investments, if a call 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 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. AccountLink. When shares are purchased through AccountLink, each purchase must be at least $25.00. Shares will be purchased on the regular business day the Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated Clearing House transfer to buy the shares. Dividends will begin to accrue on such shares on the day the Fund receives Federal Funds for such purchase through the ACH system before 4:00 P.M., which is normally 3 days after the ACH transfer is initiated. The Distributor and the Fund are not responsible for any delays. If the Federal Funds are received after 4:00 P.M., dividends will begin to accrue on the next regular business day after such Federal Funds are received. Reduced Sales Charges. As discussed in the Prospectus, a reduced sales charge rate may be obtained 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 the Prospectus because the Distributor incurs little or no selling expenses. The term "immediate family" refers to one's spouse, children, grandchildren, grandparents, parents, parents-in-law, brothers and sisters, sons- and daughters-in-law, a sibling's spouse and a spouse's siblings. - The OppenheimerFunds. The OppenheimerFunds are those mutual funds for which the Distributor acts as the distributor or the sub-distributor and include the following: Oppenheimer Tax-Free Bond Fund Oppenheimer New York Tax-Exempt Fund Oppenheimer California Tax-Exempt Fund Oppenheimer Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund Oppenheimer Insured Tax-Exempt Bond Fund Oppenheimer Main Street California Tax-Exempt Fund Oppenheimer Florida Tax-Exempt Fund Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Fund Oppenheimer New Jersey Tax-Exempt Fund Oppenheimer Fund Oppenheimer Discovery Fund Oppenheimer Time Fund Oppenheimer Target Fund Oppenheimer Growth Fund Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund Oppenheimer Value Stock Fund Oppenheimer Asset Allocation Fund Oppenheimer Total Return Fund, Inc. Oppenheimer Main Street Income & Growth Fund Oppenheimer High Yield Fund Oppenheimer Champion High Yield Fund Oppenheimer Investment Grade Bond Fund Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund Oppenheimer Mortgage Income Fund Oppenheimer Global Fund Oppenheimer Global Emerging Growth Fund Oppenheimer Global Environment Fund Oppenheimer Global Growth & Income Fund Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund Oppenheimer Strategic Investment Grade Bond Fund Oppenheimer Strategic Short-Term Income Fund Oppenheimer Strategic Income & Growth Fund Oppenheimer Strategic Diversified Income Fund and the following "Money Market Funds": Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. Oppenheimer Cash Reserves Centennial Money Market Trust Centennial Tax Exempt Trust Centennial Government Trust Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust Centennial America Fund, L.P. Daily Cash Accumulation Fund, Inc. There is an initial sales charge on the purchase of Class A shares of each of the OppenheimerFunds except Money Market Funds (under certain circumstances described herein, redemption proceeds of Money Market Fund shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge). - Letters of Intent. A Letter of Intent ("Letter") is the investor's statement of intention to purchase shares of the Fund (and Class A shares of other eligible OppenheimerFunds sold with a front-end sales charge) during the 13-month period from the investor's first purchase pursuant to the Letter (the "Letter of Intent period"), which may, at the investor's request, 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 (excluding any purchases made by reinvestments of dividends or distributions or purchases made at net asset value without sales charge), which together with the investor's holdings of such funds (calculated at their respective public offering prices calculated on the date of the Letter) will equal or exceed the amount specified in the Letter. This enables the investor to obtain the reduced sales charge rate (as set forth in the Prospectus) applicable to purchases of shares in that amount (the "intended purchase amount"). Each purchase under the Letter will be made at the public offering price applicable to a single lump-sum purchase of shares in the intended purchase amount, as described in the Prospectus. In submitting a Letter, the investor makes no commitment to purchase shares, but 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, as set forth in "Terms of Escrow," below (as those terms may be amended 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 such Letter of Intent, and if such terms are amended, as they may be from time to time by the Fund, 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 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 applicable prospectus, the sales charges paid will be adjusted to the lower rate, but 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. 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 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 public 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 intended purchase amount 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. Such sales charge adjustment will apply to any shares redeemed prior to the completion of the Letter. If such 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 the Letter) do not include any shares sold without a front-end sales charge or without being subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge unless (for the purpose of determining completion of the obligation to purchase shares under the Letter) the shares were acquired in exchange for shares of one of the OppenheimerFunds whose shares were acquired by payment of a 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 "Exchange Privilege," and the escrow will be transferred to that other fund. Asset Builder Plans. To establish an Asset Builder Plan from a bank account, a check (minimum $25) for the initial purchase must accompany the application. Shares purchased by Asset Builder Plan payments from bank accounts are subject to the redemption restrictions for recent purchases described in "How To Sell Shares," in the Prospectus. Asset Builder Plans also enable shareholders of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves to use this account for monthly automatic purchases of shares of up to four other OppenheimerFunds. There is a front-end sales charge on the purchase of certain OppenheimerFunds, or a contingent deferred sales charge may apply to shares purchased by Asset Builder payments. An application should be obtained from the Distributor, completed and returned, and a prospectus of the selected fund(s) should be obtained from the Distributor or your financial advisor before initiating Asset Builder payments. The amount of the Asset Builder investment may be changed or the automatic investments may be terminated at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent. A reasonable period (approximately 15 days) is required after the Transfer Agent's receipt of such instructions to implement them. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend, or discontinue offering such plans at any time without prior notice. 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. How to Sell Shares Information on how to sell shares of the Fund is stated in the Prospectus. The information below supplements the terms and conditions for redemptions set forth in the Prospectus. - 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 securities from the portfolio of the Fund, in lieu of cash, in conformity with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company Act pursuant to which 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 one shareholder. If shares are redeemed in kind, the redeeming shareholder might incur brokerage or other costs in selling the securities for cash. The method of valuing securities used to make redemptions in kind will be the same as the method the Fund uses to value it portfolio securities described above under "Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share" and 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 of Trustees will not cause the involuntary redemption of shares in an account if the aggregate net asset value of the shares has fallen below the stated minimum solely as a result of market fluctuations. Should the Board elect to exercise this right, it may also fix, in accordance with the Investment Company Act, the requirements for any notice to be given to the shareholders in question (not less than 30 days), or the Board may set requirements for granting permission to the Shareholder to increase the investment, and set other terms and conditions so that the shares would not be involuntarily redeemed. Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of shares of the Fund in the Fund or in Class A shares of any other OppenheimerFund. The reinvestment may be made without sales charge at the net asset value next computed after the Transfer Agent receives the reinvestment order. The shareholder must ask the Distributor for that privilege at the time of reinvestment. 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 OppenheimerFunds 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 gains 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. 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. Transfers of Shares. Shares are not subject to the payment of a contingent deferred sales charge at the time of transfer to the name of another person or entity (whether the transfer occurs by absolute assignment, gift or bequest, not involving, directly or indirectly, a public sale). The transferred shares will remain subject to the contingent deferred sales charge, 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, shares acquired pursuant to reinvestment of dividends or distributions will be transferred first. Distributions From Retirement Plans. Requests for distributions from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial 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: (i) state the reason for the distribution; (ii) state the owner's awareness of tax penalties if the distribution is premature; and (iii) 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 may not directly request redemption of their accounts. The employer or plan administrator 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 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, the Trustee 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. The repurchase price will be the net asset value next computed after the receipt of an order placed by such dealer or broker, except that orders received from dealers or brokers after 4:00 P.M. on a regular business day will be processed at that day's net asset value if such orders were received by the dealer or broker from its customers prior to 4:00 P.M., and were transmitted to and received by the Distributor prior to its close of business that day (normally 5:00 P.M.). Payment ordinarily will be made within seven days after the Distributor's receipt of the required redemption documents, with signature(s) 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 (minimum $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 and sent to the address of record for the account (and if the address has not 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 OppenheimerFunds New Account Application or signature-guaranteed instructions. The Fund cannot guarantee receipt of a payment on the date requested and reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering such plans at any time without prior notice. Because of the sales charge assessed on purchases, shareholders should not make regular additional share purchases while participating in an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. By requesting an Automatic Withdrawal or Exchange Plan, the shareholder agrees to the terms and conditions applicable to such plans, as stated below and in the provisions of the OppenheimerFunds Application relating to such Plans, as well as the Prospectus. These provisions may be amended from time to time by the Fund and/or the Distributor. When adopted, such amendments will automatically apply to existing Plans. - Automatic Exchange Plans. Shareholders can authorize the Transfer Agent (on the OppenheimerFunds Application or signature-guaranteed instructions) to exchange a pre-determined amount of shares of the Fund for shares (of the same class) of other OppenheimerFunds 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. 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. - Automatic Withdrawal Plans. Fund shares will be redeemed as necessary to meet withdrawal payments. Shares acquired without a sales charge will be redeemed first and 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 withdrawal plans should not be considered as a yield or income on your investment. The Transfer Agent will administer the investor's Automatic Withdrawal Plan (the "Plan") as agent for the investor (the "Planholder") who executed the Plan authorization and application submitted to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent shall incur no liability to the Planholder for any action taken or omitted by the Transfer Agent in good faith to administer the Plan. 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. Redemptions of shares needed to make withdrawal payments will be made at the net asset value per share determined on the redemption date. Checks or AccountLink payments of the proceeds of Plan withdrawals will normally be transmitted three business days prior to the date selected for receipt of the payment (receipt of payment on the date selected cannot be guaranteed), according to the choice specified in writing by the Planholder. 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 in 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 (in proper form in accordance with the requirements of the then-current Prospectus of the Fund) to redeem all, or any part of, the shares held under the Plan. In that case, the Transfer Agent will redeem the number of shares requested at the net asset value per share in effect in accordance with the Fund's usual redemption procedures and will mail a check for the proceeds to the Planholder. The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Planholder by writing to the Transfer Agent. A Plan may also be terminated at any time by the Transfer Agent upon receiving directions to that effect from the Fund. The Transfer Agent will also terminate a Plan upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to it of the death or legal incapacity of the Planholder. Upon termination of a Plan by the Transfer Agent or the Fund, shares that have not been redeemed from the account will be held in uncertificated form in the name of the Planholder, and the account will continue as a dividend-reinvestment, uncertificated account unless and until proper instructions are received from the Planholder or his or her executor or guardian, or other 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 because of exhaustion of uncertificated shares needed to continue payments. 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 OppenheimerFunds having more than one class of shares may be exchanged only for shares of the same class of other OppenheimerFunds. Shares of OppenheimerFunds that have a single class without a class designation are deemed "Class A" shares for this purpose, and all OppenheimerFunds offer "Class A" shares (except for Oppenheimer Strategic Diversified Income Fund). Class A shares of OppenheimerFunds may be exchanged at net asset value for shares of any Money Market Fund. Shares of any Money Market Fund purchased without a sales charge may be exchanged for shares of OppenheimerFunds offered with a sales charge upon payment of the sales charge (or, if applicable, may be used to purchase shares of OppenheimerFunds subject to a contingent deferred sales charge). Shares of this Fund acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions from any other of the OppenheimerFunds 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 OppenheimerFunds. No contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on exchanges of shares of either class purchased subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. However, when Class A shares acquired by exchange of Class A shares of other OppenheimerFunds 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 (see "Contingent Deferred Sales Charge" in the Prospectus). The Fund reserves the right to reject telephone or written exchange requests submitted in bulk by anyone on behalf of 10 or more accounts. The Fund may accept requests for exchanges of up to 50 accounts per day from representatives of authorized dealers that qualify for this privilege. 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. When exchanging shares by telephone, a shareholder must either have an existing account in, or obtain and acknowledge receipt of a prospectus of, the fund to which the exchange is to be made. For full or partial exchanges of an account made by telephone, any special account features such as Asset Builder Plans, Automatic Withdrawal Plans and retirement plan contributions will be switched to the new account unless the Transfer Agent is instructed otherwise. 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. 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 different OppenheimerFunds available for exchange have different investment objectives, policies and risks, and 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. Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes Tax Status of the Fund's Dividends and Distributions. The Federal tax treatment of the Fund's dividends and capital gains distributions is explained in the Prospectus under the caption "Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes." 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. In addition, the amount of dividends paid by the Fund which may qualify for the deduction is limited to the aggregate amount of qualifying dividends that the Fund derives from its 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, or else the Fund must pay an excise tax on the amounts not distributed. While it is presently anticipated that the Fund will meet those requirements, the Fund's Board of Trustees and the Manager might determine in a particular year that it would be in the best interest 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. Dividend Reinvestment in Another Fund. Shareholders of the Fund may elect to reinvest all dividends and/or capital gains distributions in Class A shares of any of the other OppenheimerFunds listed in "Reduced Sales Charges," above, at net asset value without sales charge. To elect this option, a shareholder must notify the Transfer Agent in writing and either have an existing account in the fund selected for reinvestment or must obtain a prospectus for that fund and an application from the Distributor to establish an account. The investment will be made at the net asset value per share in effect at the close of business on the payable date of the dividend or distribution. Dividends and/or distributions from certain of the OppenheimerFunds may be invested in shares of this Fund on the same basis. Additional Information About the Fund The Custodian. The Bank of New York is the Custodian of the Fund's assets. The Custodian's responsibilities include safeguarding and controlling the Fund's portfolio securities, collecting income on the portfolio securities and handling the delivery of such securities to and from the Fund. The Manager has represented to the Fund that the banking relationships between the Manager and the Custodian have been and will continue to be unrelated to and unaffected by the relationship between the Fund and the Custodian. It will be the practice of the Fund to deal with the Custodian in a manner uninfluenced by any banking relationship the Custodian may have with the Manager and its affiliates. Independent Auditors. The independent auditors of the Fund audit the Fund's financial statements and perform other related audit services. They also act as auditors for certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates.

This Fund is for people who want the potential for solid investment growth over the long term. How Your Fund Is Managed Oppenheimer Target Fund seeks long-term growth by investing in the stocks of companies that the Fund's managers believe have excellent growth potential and are worth more than they cost. So the Fund's shareholders get the potential for long-term appreciation. In today's stock market, the Fund's managers are targeting consumer and industrial companies with strong earnings momentum, as well as companies that have excellent prospects in technology growth areas, such as computer software and networking. The Fund also invests in U.S.-based companies that are believed to have superior growth potential because their products or services are in high demand in foreign countries. Performance Total return at net asset value for the 12 months ended 12/31/94 was 0.46% for Class A shares and -0.50% for Class C shares.(1) The financial markets had a difficult year and, like many mutual funds, your Fund felt the effects. While difficult years are hard to accept, they're an inevitable part of investing. That's why keeping a long-term perspective is crucial to getting the most from your investment and helping you through short-term market fluctuations. Your Fund's average annual total returns at maximum offering price for Class A shares for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods ended 12/31/94 and since inception of the Class on 1/22/81 were -5.32%, 8.46%, 10.49% and 15.51%, respectively. For Class C shares, average annual total returns for the 1-year period ended 12/31/94 and since inception of the Class on 12/1/93 were -1.38% and -1.17%, respectively.(3) News Outperformed Average Total Return for the Year Ended 12/31/94: Oppenheimer Target Fund Class A (at NAV)(1) 0.46% Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Average(2) -3.43% Outlook "In today's challenging markets, we're taking a more cautious approach to portfolio management. There's no easy money to be made, and we're positioning the portfolio more defensively. We're still looking for stocks trading at attractive prices, with exciting earnings potential." Robert Doll, Portfolio Manager December 31, 1994 1. Based on the change in net asset value per share from 12/31/93 to 12/31/94, without deducting any sales charges. Such performance would have been lower if sales charges were taken into account. 2. Source: Lipper Analytical Services. The Lipper total return average for the year ended 12/31/94 was for 141 capital appreciation funds. The average is shown for comparative purposes only. Oppenheimer Target Fund is characterized by Lipper as a capital appreciation fund. Lipper performance does not take sales charges into consideration. 3. Average annual total returns are based on a hypothetical investment held until 12/31/94, after deducting the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares. The Fund's maximum sales charge rate for Class A shares was higher during a portion of some of the periods shown, and actual investment results will be different as a result of the change. Total return for Class C shares was based on a hypothetical investment held for that period, after deducting the 1% contingent deferred sales charge for the 1-year calculation. Class A and Class C shares were first publicly offered on 1/22/81 and 12/1/93, respectively. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment and principal value on an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. 2 Oppenheimer Target Fund

Dear OppenheimerFunds Shareholder, The past year has been a difficult period for the stock market, one marked above all by one of the most aggressive series of moves to raise interest rates in the U.S. Federal Reserve's history. As interest rates moved up, bond prices fell and the stock market followed, while investors looked everywhere for answers to questions about directions in inflation, interest rates, and the economy. These questions all concerned one basic issue: Is the bull market in stocks coming to an end? In our view, it is not. While we are not expecting major gains in stock prices in the very near term, we believe that the uncertainties which held the market back in 1994 will recede in 1995 as the fundamental positives in the economy are recognized. The most important of these positives is our belief that the Fed's attempt to preempt possible inflation, while temporarily disconcerting, will likely have its desired effect in 1995. We believe that the economy will begin to slow, and although short-term rates may move up modestly from their present levels, long-term interest rates--the ones that most affect securities prices--should stabilize in their current range. Long-term rates may even begin to decline as overblown concerns about inflation abate. Those concerns are, in fact, already fading. While the prices of some commodities have risen over the past year and U.S. manufacturing capacity utilization and employment rose to their highest levels in years, in today's globally competitive environment, price increases are difficult to pass on to either consumers or businesses. The inflation rate--as measured by the Consumer Price Index--continues to run at less than 3% a year, and there's nothing on the horizon to suggest to us that it will increase substantially anytime soon. Even at their current levels, interest rates remain low relative to recent periods, and in our view, pose no real threat to most companies' earnings or cash flows. During the most recent recession, many businesses learned to operate much more efficiently and took advantage of the extended decline in interest rates to work down their debt loads and strengthen their financial positions. As a result, corporate profits have soared despite higher interest rates. And we believe that business earnings should grow even more as economies in Europe and elsewhere emerge from their recessions, stimulating demand for U.S. companies' goods and services. As profits rise, we expect stocks to become more valuable. Finally, the changing political landscape reflected in results of the mid-term election bodes well for the stock market over time. In addition to limiting the expectation that Congress will pass potentially inflationary government spending proposals, the realignment in Washington has raised the possibility of tax relief in the form of an expanded deduction for individual retirement savings or possibly a reduction in the capital gains tax rate. What specific action, if any, Congress will take on these proposals remains to be seen. But any action to reduce the federal deficit, cut spending, and reduce taxes should be good news for the stock market overall. In light of all these factors, we remain bullish on stocks. As we have noted in previous reports, we're expecting moderate gains in the short-term, in line with increasing corporate earnings. Over time, however, we expect stocks to perform well in both the U.S. and foreign markets. Your portfolio manager discusses the outlook for your Fund on the following pages. We appreciate your confidence, and we look forward to helping you continue to reach your investment goals. Donald W. Spiro President Oppenheimer Target Fund Jon S. Fossel Chairman and CEO Oppenheimer Management Corporation Donald W. Spiro Jon S. Fossel January 23, 1995 3 Oppenheimer Target Fund

Q + A An interview with your Fund's manager. The past year was challenging for stocks and stock market funds, yet Target Fund's performance was relatively good. What factors contributed to the Fund's performance? The most important factor in our performance has been the moves we've made to position the portfolio more defensively. In the first six months of the year, we moved out of cyclical stocks and concentrated on financial, technology, and healthcare issues--an approach that was rewarded. Over the last six months, we've concentrated more on consumer and industrial companies with strong earnings power, and moved out of financial and healthcare issues. We're looking for more than just attractive valuations. We're also looking for proven earnings power. And we've increased the Fund's cash position to its highest level in more than four years. How has this defensive strategy affected your day-to-day management of the Fund? In general, we're slower to buy and quicker to sell. We're extremely price-sensitive; we don't want to overpay for any stock. And we're ready to sell any stock that doesn't perform at or above our expectations. In today's markets, this kind of caution is not only warranted, it's the key to good investment performance. Where are you finding the best values today? In consumer cyclicals, we recently bought Brunswick, a well-diversified recreation company positioned to profit from the pickup in power boat and engine sales. On the industrial side, we recently added Georgia Gulf, a well-positioned chemical company. I could add to the list, but those names suggest our general buying emphasis on companies with good near-term profit outlooks that are selling at relatively low prices.(1) Q Why do you adopt a contrarian approach? 1. The Fund's portfolio is subject to change. 4 Oppenheimer Target Fund
N14AE2428th “Page” of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 28th
Aren't companies like these somewhat out of favor? They are, and this contrarian approach is something that sets the Fund apart. We try not to jump on market bandwagons; if you do that, you're almost sure to buy too late and hold too long. Instead, we analyze the companies whose stocks we buy carefully, and try to buy before the market recognizes their potential. How are you funding those purchases? Mainly by selling stocks in the financial and healthcare sectors where we can do so at a profit. We recently sold USF&G, a property and casualty insurer. And we've been reducing our healthcare exposures throughout the year. We still have significant positions in those sectors, but they're much lower than they were a year ago. The international stock markets seem to be primed for strong growth. Is the Fund positioned to participate? While this Fund doesn't invest much of its assets in foreign companies, we do have significant holdings in companies that derive a third to a half of their earnings from sales outside the U.S., which covers a wide range of companies and sectors. Our largest holdings are technology stocks, such as Microsoft, Intel, Compaq, General Electric, Seagate Technologies, and Cabletron Systems. How do you expect to manage the Fund going forward? In the near term, we'll continue to be defensive and maintain our cash position until the markets stabilize. As the business cycle advances, we'll look for stocks with lower valuations. Depending on developments, we may trim our technology positions in favor of more defensive stocks, such as utility and energy issues. These aren't promises or predictions, of course, but they are definitely things we're thinking about.

Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Both classes of shares have identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class has its own distribution and/or service plan, expenses directly attributable to a particular class and exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting a single class. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Investment Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued at 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on each trading day. Listed and unlisted securities for which such information is regularly reported are valued at the last sale price of the day or, in the absence of sales, at values based on the closing bid or asked price or the last sale price on the prior trading day. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost (or last determined market value) adjusted for amortization to maturity of any premium or discount. Securities for which market quotes are not readily available are valued under procedures established by the Board of Trustees to determine fair value in good faith. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Repurchase Agreements. The Fund requires the custodian to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or to have segregated within the custodian's vault, all securities held as collateral for repurchase agreements. The market value of the underlying securities is required to be at least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. If the seller of the agreement defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the value of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class) and gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Federal Income Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Fund has adopted a nonfunded retirement plan for the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. The accumulated liability for the Fund's projected benefit obligations was $99,350 at December 31, 1994. No payments have been made under the plan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Change in Accounting Classification of Distributions to Shareholders. The character of the distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gain (loss) was recorded by the Fund. Effective January 1, 1994, the Fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result, the Fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, subsequent to December 31, 1993, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in paid-in capital of $115,983, a decrease in undistributed net investment income of $55,402, and an increase in accumulated net realized gain on investments of $171,385. 14 Oppenheimer Target Fund

[Enlarge/Download Table] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Independent Auditors' Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ========================================================== ========================================================== ============ The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Target Fund: We have audited the accompanying statements of investments and assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Target Fund as of December 31, 1994, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the ten-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1994, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; and where confirmations were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Target Fund as of December 31, 1994, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the ten-year period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

[Enlarge/Download Table] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Federal Income Tax Information (Unaudited) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ========================================================== ========================================================== ============ In early 1995, shareholders will receive information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 1994. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service. A distribution of $2.982 per share was paid on December 19, 1994, which was designated as a "capital gain distribution" for federal income tax purposes. Whether received in stock or cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains). Dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by 100% to arrive at the net amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction. The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance. 17 Oppenheimer Target Fund

2 FUND FACTS IN THIS REPORT: ANSWERS TO TWO TIMELY QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS. * DID THE FEDERAL RESERVE'S MOVES TO RAISE SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES AFFECT THE FUND? * WHAT'S THE NEAR-TERM OUTLOOK FOR THE STOCKS OF MID-SIZE GROWTH COMPANIES? FACTS EVERY SHAREHOLDER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT OPPENHEIMER TIME FUND ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 The Fund seeks capital appreciation from a diversified portfolio of growth-type companies. Its current strategy focuses on successful medium-size growth companies, special situations and cyclical industries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 Total return at net asset value for the 12-month period ended June 30, 1994 was -3.40%.(1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3 Average annual total returns for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods ended June 30, 1994 were -8.95%, 5.68%, and 12.54%, respectively.(2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4 Top five stock holdings on June 30, 1994 were:(3) ADVANTA CORP. CL. B. LDDS COMMUNICATIONS, INC., CL. B. CUC INTERNATIONAL, INC. NIKE, INC., CI.B. FEDERAL EXPRESS CORP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5 "The stocks of growth companies like those in which Time Fund invests have outperformed the stock market as a whole by a wide margin over the long term. While these stocks can be more volatile than those issued by bigger, "blue-chip" companies, the potential rewards are greater as well. Recognizing that, and despite recent short-term setbacks, we have not changed our investment strategies or approaches at all." Portfolio Manager Paul LaRocco, June 30, 1994 (1) Based on the change in net asset value per share from 6/30/93 to 6/30/94, without deducting any sales charges. (2) Average annual total returns are based on a hypothetical investment held until 6/30/94, after deducting the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% on 6/30/93, 6/30/89, 6/30/84, and 6/30/79, respectively. The Fund's maximum sales charge rate was higher during a portion of some of the periods shown, and performance will be affected by that change. (3) The Fund's portfolio is subject to change. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value on an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. 2 Oppenheimer Time Fund

3 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS ABOVE-AVERAGE LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE Average annual total returns for the 15-year period ended June 30, 1994 ---------------------------- Oppenheimer 14.31% Time Fund(4) ---------------------------- Lipper capital 13.66% appreciation funds average(5) The past six months was one of the most challenging periods for mid-size company stocks that we've seen in recent years. Challenges stemmed almost entirely from the Federal Reserve's preemptive strike against inflation in an economy poised for powerful expansion. From early February through mid-May, the Fed raised short-term interest rates four times, and as rates rose, they took a toll on growth stocks. In your managers' view, this setback is likely to prove temporary. The Fed's moves seem to have had their hoped-for effects: inflation remains under control, economic growth has slowed to a gradual, sustainable rate, and interest rates are still low by historical standards. In other words, the fundamentals for strong growth-stock performance remain very much in place. And as a result of several steps taken over the past several months, your Fund is well positioned to benefit when stocks resume their advance. Over the last six months, your managers took profits in a number of companies whose stock prices seemed stretched in relation to their projected earnings. The proceeds from those sales were used to purchase shares of companies posting strong sales and earnings growth today, and positioned to benefit from the improving economy. Many purchases focused on companies that are benefiting from pick-ups in business spending, such as Birmingham Steel and Federal Express. Others involved companies benefiting from stronger consumer confidence and spending, including Nike, Brunswick Corporation, and fast-growing credit card companies including Advanta and First USA. All of these purchases reinforced rather than altered the Fund's basic investment themes and strategies, and reflected your managers' continuing emphasis on firms with established market positions, strong managements, and the potential for above-average earnings growth. Looking ahead, the prospects for the Fund remain promising. While day-to-day market volatility may be greater than has been seen in the past, the economy is growing at a gradual, low-inflation rate, and well-managed companies are posting encouraging gains in market share and profits. We appreciate the trust you have placed in Oppenheimer Time Fund, and we look forward to helping you meet your investment goals in the future. /s/ DONALD W. SPIRO ------------------- Donald W.

12 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [Enlarge/Download Table] ========================================================== ========================================================== ================ 1. SIGNIFICANT Oppenheimer Time Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as ACCOUNTING POLICIES amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment advisor is Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the Manager). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT VALUATION. Portfolio securities are valued at 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on each trading day. Listed and unlisted securities for which such information is regularly reported are valued at the last sale price of the day or, in the absence of sales, at values based on the closing bid or asked price or the last sale price on the prior trading day. Long-term debt securities are valued by a portfolio pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Long-term debt securities which cannot be valued by the approved portfolio pricing service are valued by averaging the mean between the bid and asked prices obtained from two active market makers in such securities. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost (or last determined market value) adjusted for amortization to maturity of any premium or discount. Securities for which market quotes are not readily available are valued under procedures established by the Board of Trustees to determine fair value in good faith. An option is valued based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded or, in the absence of any transactions that day, the value is based upon the last sale on the prior trading date if it is within the spread between the closing bid and asked prices. If the last sale price is outside the spread, the closing bid or asked price closest to the last reported sale price is used. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund requires the custodian to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or to have segregated within the custodian's vault, all securities held as collateral for repurchase agreements. If the seller of the agreement defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the value of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OPTIONS WRITTEN. The Fund may write covered call and put options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or purchasing a security at a price different from the current market value. All securities covering call options written are held in escrow by the custodian bank and the Fund maintains liquid assets sufficient to cover written put options in the event of exercise by the holder. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The Fund intends to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRUSTEES' FEES AND EXPENSES. The Fund has adopted a nonfunded retirement plan for the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the year ended June 30, 1994, a provision of $18,391 was made for the Fund's projected benefit obligations, resulting in an accumulated liability of $117,741 at June 30, 1994. No payments have been made under the plan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective July 1, 1993, the Fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result, the Fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, subsequent to June 30, 1993, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in paid-in capital of $35,773, a decrease in undistributed net investment loss of $390,026, and an increase in undistributed capital gain on investments of $425,799. During the year ended June 30, 1994, Time Fund generated a net operating loss. As a result, in accordance with Statement of Position 93-2, paid-in capital was reduced by $809,607, and undistributed net investment loss was increased by the same amount. 12 Oppenheimer Time Fund

13 [Enlarge/Download Table] ========================================================== ========================================================== ================ 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING OTHER. Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or POLICIES (CONTINUED) sold (trade date) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discount on securities purchased is amortized over the life of the respective securities, in accordance with federal income tax requirements. Realized gains and losses on investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation are determined on an identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. ========================================================== ========================================================== ================ 2.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

16 FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION (Unaudited) In early 1995, shareholders will receive information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 1994. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service. A distribution of $1.228 per share was paid on December 30, 1993, of which $1.226 was designated as a "capital gain distribution" for federal income tax purposes. Whether received in stock or cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains). None of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 are eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction. The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance. 16 Oppenheimer Time Fund

This Fund is for people who want high growth potential over time. How Your Fund Is Managed Oppenheimer Time Fund focuses on medium-sized companies that the Fund's portfolio manager believes have good management, above-average profitability, strong balance sheets, and offer the potential for high growth. These medium-sized companies are more established than smaller emerging growth companies, and thus may pose less risk than smaller companies. But they still benefit from being in the emerging growth phase, so they have the potential for high long-term growth. In today's stock market, Time Fund's manager is focusing on companies that have excellent prospects in growth industries such as communications and computer networking. The Fund also invests in companies that can benefit from increased consumer spending, such as specialty retailers, restaurants and household appliance manufacturers. Performance Total return at net asset value for the 6 months ended 12/31/94 was 4.69%.(1) The financial markets had a difficult year and, like many mutual funds, your Fund felt the effects. While difficult years are hard to accept, they're an inevitable part of investing. That's why keeping a long-term perspective is crucial to getting the most from your investment and helping you through short-term market fluctuations. Your Fund's average annual total returns at maximum offering price for the 1- and 5-year periods ended 12/31/94 and since inception of the Fund on 10/21/71 were -17.82%, 5.28% and 10.71%, respectively.(2) Outlook "The kinds of companies in which the Fund invests were hurt by rising interest rates in 1994. While that's never good news, it does have an upside. At this point, the prices of mid-cap growth stocks appear extremely attractive; we're paying a very small premium for growth. If long-term interest rates start to stabilize--and we expect them to in 1995--the value these stocks offer should be recognized, and both mid-cap growth stocks in general and this Fund in particular should benefit." Jay Tracey, Portfolio Manager December 31, 1994 1. Based on the change in net asset value per share from 6/30/94 to 12/31/94, without deducting any sales charges. Such performance would have been lower if sales charges were taken into account. 2. Average annual total returns are based on a hypothetical investment held until 12/31/94, after deducting the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. The Fund's maximum sales charge rate was higher during a portion of some of the periods shown, and actual investment results will be different as a result of the change. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment and principal value on an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. 2 Oppenheimer Time Fund

Dear OppenheimerFunds Shareholder, The past year has been a difficult period for the stock market, one marked above all by one of the most aggressive series of moves to raise interest rates in the U.S. Federal Reserve's history. As interest rates moved up, bond prices fell and the stock market followed, while investors looked everywhere for answers to questions about directions in inflation, interest rates, and the economy. These questions all concerned one basic issue: Is the bull market in stocks coming to an end? In our view, it is not. While we are not expecting major gains in stock prices in the very near term, we believe that the uncertainties which held the market back in 1994 will recede in 1995 as the fundamental positives in the economy are recognized. The most important of these positives is our belief that the Fed's attempt to preempt possible inflation, while temporarily disconcerting, will likely have its desired effect in 1995. We believe that the economy will begin to slow, and although short-term rates may move up modestly from their present levels, long-term interest rates--the ones that most affect securities prices--should stabilize in their current range. Long-term rates may even begin to decline as overblown concerns about inflation abate. Those concerns are, in fact, already fading. While the prices of some commodities have risen over the past year and U.S. manufacturing capacity utilization and employment rose to their highest levels in years, in today's globally competitive environment, price increases are difficult to pass on to either consumers or businesses. The inflation rate--as measured by the Consumer Price Index--continues to run at less than 3% a year, and there's nothing on the horizon to suggest to us that it will increase substantially anytime soon. Even at their current levels, interest rates remain low relative to recent periods, and in our view, pose no real threat to most companies' earnings or cash flows. During the most recent recession, many businesses learned to operate much more efficiently and took advantage of the extended decline in interest rates to work down their debt loads and strengthen their financial positions. As a result, corporate profits have soared despite higher interest rates. And we believe that business earnings should grow even more as economies in Europe and elsewhere emerge from their recessions, stimulating demand for U.S. companies' goods and services. As profits rise, we expect stocks to become more valuable. Finally, the changing political landscape reflected in results of the mid-term election bodes well for the stock market over time. In addition to limiting the expectation that Congress will pass potentially inflationary government spending proposals, the realignment in Washington has raised the possibility of tax relief in the form of an expanded deduction for individual retirement savings or possibly a reduction in the capital gains tax rate. What specific action, if any, Congress will take on these proposals remains to be seen. But any action to reduce the federal deficit, cut spending, and reduce taxes should be good news for the stock market overall. In light of all these factors, we remain bullish on stocks. As we have noted in previous reports, we're expecting moderate gains in the short-term, in line with increasing corporate earnings. Over time, however, we expect stocks to perform well in both the U.S. and foreign markets. Your portfolio manager discusses the outlook for your Fund on the following pages. We appreciate your confidence, and we look forward to helping you continue to reach your investment goals. Donald W. Spiro President Oppenheimer Time Fund Jon S. Fossel Chairman and CEO Oppenheimer Management Corporation Donald W. Spiro Jon S. Fossel January 23, 1995 3 Oppenheimer Time Fund

Q+A An interview with your Fund's manager. Q Do you think the factors contributing to 1994's difficult stock market will persist in '95? The past year was a difficult period for the stock market. What factors affected the Fund's performance? Two factors stand out. First, the Fund focuses on medium-size growth stocks whose prices were particularly affected by the Federal Reserve's aggressive moves to raise interest rates during the year. Second, growth rates in several areas of the market that performed well for the Fund in 1993--notably casual dining, apparel, gaming, and air transport--slowed in 1994. That combination--changing mid-cap growth stock valuations and changes in some industries' fundamentals--held the Fund's performance back. Do you think those factors will persist in 1995? No. In fact, we think the setback we experienced in 1994 is temporary. The Federal Reserve's actions to raise interest rates seem to have had their desired effect. Inflation remains very low, the economy and business earnings are growing at a solid, sustainable rate, and interest rates, although up substantially from year-ago levels, are still low by historical standards. These factors should set the stage for renewed outperformance by growth stocks. And with the adjustments made to the portfolio over the last several months, we believe the Fund is positioned to participate fully in any gains. What portfolio adjustments did you make? In terms of selling, we reduced or eliminated positions in several companies whose competitive dynamics had changed or whose growth rates had softened. For example, we sold Brinker International, which owns the Chili's restaurant chain; Phillips Van Heusen; and several air transport companies, including Southwest Airlines and Federal Express. We also reduced our exposure to 4 Oppenheimer Time Fund

gaming companies and some credit-card issuers like Advanta and First USA. We used the proceeds to invest in the stocks of companies which we believe have strong growth potential. So you're out of those sectors entirely at this point? Not at all. Our investment decisions are driven by companies, not sectors; in fact, we've recently added new names in several of these areas, such as Dollar General in retailing and Ann Taylor in apparel.(1) We're alert to market trends, of course, but our buying and selling focuses firmly on a company's performance and prospects. What other kinds of stocks have you been buying? Many of our purchases were in the healthcare area, centering on companies with strong growth prospects, independent of healthcare reform. For example, we purchased Lincare Holdings and Integrated Health, both emerging leaders in providing specialized care outside the high-cost hospital setting. We also added several technology companies with strong growth prospects. In software, we added Lotus Development Corporation, DSC Communications, and Compuware, all of which are positioned to benefit from the emphasis on business productivity and networking. In communications, we bought Andrew Corp., which supplies equipment to the television and cable industries. And we added some "lower-tech" stocks, including Molex, a fast-growing manufacturer of electronic components and connectors, and some "higher-tech" stocks, including Teradyne, a manufacturer of semiconductor test equipment. What's your outlook for the Fund? This Fund tends to buy and sell stocks for company-specific reasons, not because a specific market sector is "hot." As a result, the portfolio reflects not just our outlook for the economy or individual industry groups, but rather the prospects for individual companies' performance. We believe that the stocks we're holding today have the potential to perform very well when growth stocks resume their advance.

[Enlarge/Download Table] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ========================================================== ========================================================== =============== 1. Significant Oppenheimer Time Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as Accounting Policies amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment advisor is Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the Manager). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Investment Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued at 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on each trading day. Listed and unlisted securities for which such information is regularly reported are valued at the last sale price of the day or, in the absence of sales, at values based on the closing bid or asked price or the last sale price on the prior trading day. Long-term debt securities are valued by a portfolio pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Long-term debt securities which cannot be valued by the approved portfolio pricing service are valued using dealer-supplied valuations provided the Manager is satisfied that the firm rendering the quotes is reliable and that the quotes reflect current market value, or under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees to determine fair value in good faith. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost (or last determined market value) adjusted for amortization to maturity of any premium or discount. Options are valued based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded or, in the absence of any transactions that day, the value is based upon the last sale on the prior trading date if it is within the spread between the closing bid and asked prices. If the last sale price is outside the spread, the closing bid or asked price closest to the last reported sale price is used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Repurchase Agreements. The Fund requires the custodian to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or to have segregated within the custodian's vault, all securities held as collateral for repurchase agreements. The market value of the underlying securities is required to be at least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. If the seller of the agreement defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the value of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Federal Income Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Fund has adopted a nonfunded retirement plan for the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. The accumulated liability for the Fund's projected benefit obligations was $109,656 at December 31, 1994. No payments have been made under the plan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Change in Accounting Classification of Distributions to Shareholders. The character of the distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gain (loss) was recorded by the Fund. Effective July 1, 1993, the Fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result, the Fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, subsequent to June 30, 1993, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in paid-in capital of $845,380, a decrease in undistributed net investment loss of $419,581 and an increase in accumulated net realized gain on investments of $425,799. 14 Oppenheimer Time Fund

[Enlarge/Download Table] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ========================================================== ========================================================== =============== 1. Significant Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or Accounting Policies sold (trade date) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discount on (continued) securities purchased is amortized over the life of the respective securities, in accordance with federal income tax requirements. Realized gains and losses on investments and unrealized appreciation and depreciation are determined on an identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. ========================================================== ========================================================== =============== 2. Shares of The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of no par value shares of beneficial interest. Beneficial Interest Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows: Six Months Ended December 31, 1994 Year Ended June 30, 1994 -------------------------------- ---------------------------- Shares Amount Shares Amount ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sold 2,715,506 $ 43,671,280 3,714,136 $ 65,700,854 Dividends and distributions reinvested 2,119,233 30,474,285 1,329,264 24,485,036 Redeemed (3,261,265) (52,470,694) (5,939,332) (106,441,406) -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Net increase (decrease) 1,573,474 $ 21,674,871 (895,932) $ (16,255,516) ============== ============== ============== ============== ========================================================== ========================================================== =============== 3. Unrealized Gains and At December 31, 1994, net unrealized appreciation on investments of $43,104,353 was composed of Losses on Investments gross appreciation of $50,708,763, and gross depreciation of $7,604,410. ========================================================== ========================================================== =============== 4. Option Activity The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write covered call options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities. The Fund generally purchases put options or writes covered call options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. The Fund segregates assets to cover its obligations under option contracts. Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. In this report, securities segregated to cover outstanding call options are noted in the Statement of Investments. Shares subject to call, expiration date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed in a footnote to the Statement of Investments. Options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Gains and losses are reported in the Statement of Operations. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option activity for the six months ended December 31, 1994 was as follows: Call Options Put Options ------------------------ ------------------------ Number of Amount of Number of Amount of Options Premiums Options Premiums ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Options outstanding at June 30, 1994 594 $ 206,111 -- $ -- Options written 500 401,237 7,000 1,368,103 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Options canceled in closing purchase transactions (500) (401,237) (7,000) (1,368,103) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Options exercised (594) (206,111) -- -- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Options outstanding at December 31, 1994 -- $ -- -- $ -- ========== ========== ========== ========== 15 Oppenheimer Time Fund

Management Fees and Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the investment advisory agreement Other Transactions with the Fund which provides for an annual fee of .75% on the first $200 million of net assets With Affiliates with a reduction of .03% on each $200 million thereafter to $800 million, and .60% on net assets in excess of $800 million. The Manager has agreed to reimburse the Fund if aggregate expenses (with specified exceptions) exceed the most stringent applicable regulatory limit on Fund expenses. For the six months ended December 31, 1994, commissions (sales charges paid by investors) on sales of Fund shares totaled $221,355, of which $55,532 was retained by Oppenheimer Funds Distributor, Inc. (OFDI), a subsidiary of the Manager, as general distributor, and by an affiliated broker/dealer. Oppenheimer Shareholder Services (OSS), a division of the Manager, is the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund, and for other registered investment companies. OSS's total costs of providing such services are allocated ratably to these companies. Under an approved service plan, the Fund may expend up to .25% of its net assets annually to reimburse OFDI for costs incurred in connection with the personal service and maintenance of accounts that hold shares of the Fund (prior to July 1, 1994, reimbursements were made with respect to shares sold subsequent to April 1, 1991), including amounts paid to brokers, dealers, banks and other institutions.

OPPENHEIMER TARGET FUND FORM N-14 PART C OTHER INFORMATION Item 15. Indemnification Reference is made to Article VIII of Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust filed as Exhibit 24(b)(1) to Registrant's Registration Statement and incorporated herein by reference.
