1. Expenses have been restated to reflect current fees.
2. After discussions with the Fund’s Board, the Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investments in funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

Example. The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are reflected in the below examples for the first year only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows:
  If shares are redeemed If shares are not redeemed  
  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years  
Class A $462 $701 $958 $1,694 $462 $701 $958 $1,694  

Class C $293 $598 $1,030 $2,231 $193 $598 $1,030 $2,231  

Class R $141 $442 $765 $1,679 $141 $442 $765 $1,679  

Class Y $90 $284 $494 $1,100 $90 $284 $494 $1,100  

Class I $79 $249 $434 $969 $79 $249 $434 $969  
Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 66% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund invests mainly in floating rate loans (sometimes referred to as “adjustable rate loans”) that hold (or in the judgment of the investment adviser, hold) a senior position in the capital structure of U.S. and foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities that, under normal circumstances, allow them to have priority of claim ahead of (or at least as high as) other obligations of a borrower in the event of liquidation. These investments are referred to as “Senior Loans.” Senior Loans may be collateralized or uncollateralized. They typically pay interest at rates that float above, or are adjusted periodically based on, a benchmark that reflects current interest rates.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in Senior Loans. The Fund may invest in Senior Loans directly as an original lender, or by assignment from a lender, or it may invest indirectly through loan participation agreements. While most of these Senior Loans will be collateralized, the Fund can also invest up to 10% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in uncollateralized Senior Loans. The Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in cash or other loans, securities and other investments, including but not limited to: secured or unsecured fixed-rate loans, fixed or floating rate notes or bonds, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, investment-grade short-term debt obligations, common stock and other equity securities and derivatives. The Fund also may invest in Senior Loans made in connection with highly leveraged transactions, including but not limited to, operating loans, leveraged buyout loans, and leveraged capitalization loans. The Fund can invest 25% or more of its total assets in securities of the group of industries in the financial securities sector.
The Fund can invest in investment-grade or below-investment-grade debt instruments (sometimes referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities). The Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in debt instruments rated below-investment-grade, and will normally invest a substantial portion of its assets in those securities. The Senior Loans, other loans, and subordinated debt that the Fund invests in are typically rated “B” (below-investment-grade) or higher by one or more of the rating organizations, or if unrated, are determined by the Fund’s sub-adviser, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) to be of comparable quality. “Investment-grade” debt instruments are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody’s or S&P Global Ratings (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Sub-Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund may also invest in unrated instruments, in which case the Fund’s Sub-Adviser internally assigns ratings to those instruments, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Sub-Adviser’s credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
The Fund may invest in securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. The Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in Senior Loans or other securities (such as subordinated debt and fixed-rate loans) issued by foreign entities. The Fund’s foreign Senior Loans must be dollar-denominated, and interest and principal payments must be payable in U.S. dollars, which may reduce the risks of currency fluctuations.
The Fund has no requirements as to the range of maturities of the debt instruments it can buy or as to the market capitalization of the issuers of those instruments. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the Fund’s assets (including the amount borrowed) and use other techniques to manage its cash flow, to redeem shares, or to purchase assets, a technique referred to as “leverage.” The Fund may also use certain types of derivative investments to try to enhance income or to try to manage (“hedge”) investment risks, including, but not limited to, options, futures contracts, swaps, and “structured” notes.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers evaluate overall investment opportunities and risks among the types of investments the Fund can hold. They analyze the credit standing and risks of borrowers whose loans or debt securities they are considering for the Fund’s portfolio. They evaluate information about borrowers from their own research or research supplied by rating organizations, agent banks or other sources and select only those loans that they believe are likely to pay the interest and repay the principal when it becomes due. The portfolio managers consider many factors, including, among others,
the borrower’s past and expected future financial performance
the experience and depth of the borrower’s management
the status of the borrower’s industry and its position in that industry
the collateral for the loan or other debt security
the borrower’s assets and cash flows
the credit quality of the debt obligations of the bank servicing the loan and other intermediaries imposed between the borrower and the Fund.
There can be no assurance that the Fund’s analysis will identify all of the factors that may impair the value of a Senior Loan or other investment.
Principal Risks. The price of the Fund’s shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund’s investments may fall due to adverse changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

Risks of Investing in Debt Securities. Debt securities may be subject to interest rate risk, duration risk, credit risk, credit spread risk, extension risk, reinvestment risk, prepayment risk and event risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and therefore, those debt securities may be worth less than the amount the Fund paid for them or valued them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities will be more volatile and thus more likely to decline in price, and to a greater extent, in a rising interest rate environment than shorter-duration debt securities. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. If an issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the Fund’s income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer’s securities. “Credit spread” is the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality. There is a risk that credit spreads may increase when the market expects lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. Some unrated securities may not have an active trading market or may trade less actively than rated securities, which means that the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable price. Extension risk is the risk that an increase in interest rates could cause prepayments on a debt security to occur at a slower rate than expected. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer may redeem the security prior to the expected maturity or that borrowers may repay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Event risk is the risk that an issuer could be subject to an event, such as a buyout or debt restructuring, that interferes with its ability to make timely interest and principal payments and cause the value of its debt securities to fall.
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity may decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books and could experience a loss. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. An unexpected increase in redemptions by Fund shareholders (including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by general market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions, if applicable. As of the date of this prospectus, interest rates in the U.S. are near historically low levels, increasing the exposure of bond investors to the risks associated with rising interest rates.
Economic and other market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns may cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all). A lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. As compared to investment-grade debt securities, below-investment-grade debt securities (also referred to as “junk” bonds), whether rated or unrated, may be subject to greater price fluctuations and increased credit risk, as the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. The market for below-investment-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore these securities may be harder to value or sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.
Because the Fund can invest without limit in below-investment-grade securities, the Fund’s credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk.

Risks of Senior Loans and Other Loans. In addition to the risks typically associated with debt securities, such as credit and interest rate risk, senior loans are also subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a senior loan, which typically holds a senior position in the capital structure of a borrower, to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of senior loans. Loans usually have mandatory and optional prepayment provisions. If a borrower prepays a loan, the Fund will have to reinvest the proceeds in other loans or financial assets that may pay lower rates of return.
Loans are subject to the risk that the value of the collateral, if any, securing a loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. In the event of a default, the Fund may have difficulty collecting on any collateral and would not have the ability to collect on any collateral for an uncollateralized loan. In addition, the lenders’ security interest or their enforcement of their security under the loan agreement may be found by a court to be invalid or the collateral may be used to pay other outstanding obligations of the borrower. The Fund’s access to collateral, if any, may be limited by bankruptcy, other insolvency laws, or by the type of loan the Fund has purchased. As a result, a collateralized loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value.
Loan investments are often issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions. Such transactions include leveraged buyout loans, leveraged recapitalization loans, and other types of acquisition financing. These obligations are subject to greater credit risks than other investments including a greater possibility that the borrower may default or enter bankruptcy.
Due to restrictions on transfers in loan agreements and the nature of the private syndication of loans including, for example, the lack of publicly-available information, some loans are not as easily purchased or sold as publicly-traded securities. Some loans are illiquid, which may make it difficult for the Fund to value them or dispose of them at an acceptable price when it wants to. The market price of investments in floating rate loans is expected to be less affected by changes in interest rates than fixed-rate investments because floating rate loans pay a floating rate of interest that will fluctuate as market interest rates do and therefore should more closely track market movements in interest rates.
Compared to securities and to certain other types of financial assets, purchases and sales of loans take relatively longer to settle. This extended settlement process can (i) increase the counterparty credit risk borne by the Fund; (ii) leave the Fund unable to timely vote, or otherwise act with respect to, loans it has agreed to purchase; (iii) delay the Fund from realizing the proceeds of a sale of a loan; (iv) inhibit the Fund’s ability to re-sell a loan that it has agreed to purchase if conditions change (leaving the Fund more exposed to price fluctuations); (v) prevent the Fund from timely collecting principal and interest payments; and (vi) expose the Fund to adverse tax or regulatory consequences.
To the extent the extended loan settlement process gives rise to short-term liquidity needs, such as the need to satisfy redemption requests, the Fund may hold cash, sell investments or temporarily borrow from banks or other lenders. If the Fund undertakes such measures, the Fund’s ability to pay redemption proceeds in a timely manner, as well as the Fund’s performance, may be adversely affected.
If the Fund invests in a loan via a participation, the Fund will be exposed to the ongoing counterparty risk of the entity providing exposure to the loan (and, in certain circumstances, such entity’s credit risk), in addition to the exposure the Fund has to the creditworthiness of the borrower.
In certain circumstances, loans may not be deemed to be securities, and in the event of fraud or misrepresentation by a borrower or an arranger, lenders will not have the protection of the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, as would be the case for bonds or stocks. Instead, in such cases, lenders generally rely on the contractual provisions in the loan agreement itself, and common-law fraud protections under applicable state law.
Risks of Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It can use those borrowings for a number of purposes, including for purchasing Senior Loans or other securities, which can create “leverage.” In that case, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow. Borrowing results in interest payments to the lenders and related expenses. Borrowing for investment purposes might reduce the Fund’s return if the yield on the investments purchased is less than those borrowing costs. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes. The Fund currently participates in a line of credit with certain banks as lenders.
Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are subject to special risks. Securities traded in foreign markets may be less liquid and more volatile than those traded in U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult for the Fund to evaluate a foreign company’s operations or financial condition. A change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of investments denominated in that foreign currency and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those investments. The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in the settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the United States or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company’s assets, or other political and economic factors. In addition, due to the inter-relationship of global economies and financial markets, changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. As a result, the value of the Fund’s net assets may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem the Fund’s shares. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events

that occur in that country or region. Foreign securities and foreign currencies held in foreign banks and securities depositories may be subject to only limited or no regulatory oversight.
Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, may increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful. In addition, under new rules enacted and currently being implemented under financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives are (or soon will be) required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse. It is unclear how these regulatory changes will affect counterparty risk, and entering into a derivative transaction with a clearinghouse may entail further risks and costs.
Risks of Concentration in Financial Securities. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry, except that the Fund may invest without limit in instruments of the group of industries in the financial securities sector. Financial securities industries may be more susceptible to particular economic and regulatory events such as volatility in the financial markets and interest rates, changes in domestic and foreign monetary policy, and changes in industry regulations.
Who is the Fund Designed For? The Fund is designed for investors seeking to participate in the market for Senior Loans, which may have higher risks than conventional debt securities. Those investors should be willing to assume the greater risks of short-term share price fluctuations and the special credit risks that are typical for a fund that invests mainly in below-investment-grade fixed income securities. The Fund is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is intended to be a long-term investment, not a short-term trading vehicle. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.
    
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
The Fund’s Past Performance. The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance (for Class A Shares) from calendar year to calendar year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns for the periods of time shown in the table compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund’s past investment performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Sales charges and taxes are not reflected in the bar chart and if those charges were included, returns would be less than those shown. More recent performance information is available by calling the toll-free number on the back of this prospectus and on the Fund’s website: https://www.oppenheimerfunds.com/fund/SeniorFloatingRateFund
Sales charges and taxes are not included and the returns would be lower if they were. During the period shown, the highest return for a calendar quarter was 21.88% (2nd Qtr 09) and the lowest return for a calendar was -22.89% (4th Qtr 08). For the period from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 the return before sales charges and taxes was 1.59%.

The following table shows the average annual total returns for each class of the Fund’s shares. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes.

More About The Fund
About the Fund’s Investments
The allocation of the Fund’s portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time and the Fund’s portfolio might not always include all of the different types of investments described below. The Statement of Additional Information contains additional information about the Fund’s investment policies and risks.
The Fund’s Principal Investment Strategies and Risks. The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.
Senior Loans and Other Debt Instruments. The Fund may invest in Senior Loans and other debt instruments, including secured or unsecured fixed rate loans, fixed or floating rate notes or bonds, subordinated debt obligations, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, asset backed securities and short-term, investment grade debt obligations. Senior Loans and other debt instruments may be subject to the following risks:
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that rising interest rates, or an expectation of rising interest rates in the near future, will cause the values of the Fund’s investments in debt securities to decline. The values of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. Additionally, when interest rates rise, the decrease in values of outstanding debt securities may not be offset by higher income from new investments. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise and the Fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund’s income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change; thus, interest rate risk is usually greater for securities with longer maturities or durations. “Zero-coupon” or “stripped” securities may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows. Interest rate changes may have different effects on the values of mortgage-related securities because of prepayment and extension risks.
Duration Risk. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities are more volatile and thus more likely to decline in price, and to a greater extent, than shorter-duration debt securities, in a rising interest-rate environment. “Effective duration” attempts to measure the expected percentage change in the value of a bond or portfolio resulting from a change in prevailing interest rates. The change in the value of a bond or portfolio can be approximated by multiplying its duration by a change in interest rates. For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1% increase in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to decline about 3% while a 1% decrease in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to increase 3%. The duration of a debt security may be equal to or shorter than the full maturity of a debt security.
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. U.S. government securities generally have lower credit risks than securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund’s income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of the security might fall and the Fund could lose the amount of its investment in the security. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating or other adverse news about an issuer, for any reason, can reduce the market value of that issuer’s securities.
Credit Spread Risk. Credit spread risk is the risk that credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality) may increase when the market expects lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. Some unrated securities may not have an active trading market or may trade less actively than rated securities, which means that the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable price.
Extension Risk. Extension risk is the risk that, if interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected, and the expected maturity of those securities could lengthen as a result. Securities that are subject to extension risk generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their values to fall sharply. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value.
Reinvestment Risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall, the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds.

Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities (in particular mortgage-related securities) are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, the issuer will redeem the security prior to the security’s expected maturity, or that borrowers will repay the loans that underlie these fixed-income securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at a premium, accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the Fund to lose a portion of its principal investment. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the security’s price volatility. Interest-only and principal-only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and repayment assumptions about those investments.
Event Risk. If an issuer of debt securities is the subject of a buyout, debt restructuring, merger or recapitalization that increases its debt load, it could interfere with its ability to make timely payments of interest and principal and cause the value of its debt securities to fall.
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to unusual volatility and illiquidity. Volatility and illiquidity may be more pronounced in the case of lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates), which are near historic lows in the U.S. and in other countries. During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices. An unexpected increase in Fund redemption requests (including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions, if applicable. Similarly, the prices of the Fund’s holdings could be adversely affected if an investment account managed similarly to the Fund was to experience significant redemptions and that account was required to sell its holdings at an inopportune time. The liquidity of an issuer’s securities may decrease as a result of a decline in an issuer’s credit rating, the occurrence of an event that causes counterparties to avoid transacting with the issuer, or an increase in the issuer’s cash outflows, as well as other adverse market and economic developments. A lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Economic and other market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all). Under some circumstances, as was the case during the latter half of 2008 and early 2009, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets.
Following the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve sought to stabilize the economy by keeping the federal funds rate near zero percent. The Federal Reserve has also purchased large quantities of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, pursuant to its monetary stimulus program known as “quantitative easing.” As the Federal Reserve has completed the tapering of its securities purchases pursuant to quantitative easing, it has recently raised interest rates on multiple occasions, and continues to consider future raises to the federal funds rate, there is a risk that interest rates may rise and cause fixed-income investors to move out of fixed-income securities, which may also increase redemptions in fixed-income mutual funds.
In addition, although the fixed-income securities markets have grown significantly in the last few decades, regulations and business practices have led some financial intermediaries to curtail their capacity to engage in trading (i.e., “market making”) activities for certain debt securities. As a result, dealer inventories of fixed-income securities, which provide an indication of the ability of financial intermediaries to make markets in fixed-income securities, are near historic lows relative to market size. Because market makers help stabilize the market through their financial intermediary services, further reductions in dealer inventories could have the potential to decrease liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income securities markets.
Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. Below-investment-grade securities (also referred to as “junk bonds”) generally have higher yields than investment-grade securities but also have higher risk profiles. Below-investment-grade securities are considered to be speculative and entail greater risk with respect to the ability of the issuer to timely repay principal and pay interest or dividends in accordance with the terms of the obligation and may have more credit risk than investment-grade securities, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. These

additional risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated level of income from these securities, and the Fund’s net asset value may be affected by declines in the value of below-investment-grade securities. The major risks of below-investment-grade securities include:
Prices of below-investment-grade securities may be subject to extreme price fluctuations, even under normal market conditions. Adverse changes in an issuer’s industry and general economic conditions may have a greater impact on the prices of below-investment-grade securities than on the prices of investment-grade securities.
Below-investment-grade securities may be issued by less creditworthy issuers and may be more likely to default than investment-grade securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may have more outstanding debt relative to their assets than issuers of investment-grade securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations because of an economic downturn, specific issuer developments, or the unavailability of additional financing.
In the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claims of the holders of below-investment-grade securities.
Below-investment-grade securities may be less liquid than investment-grade securities, even under normal market conditions. There are fewer dealers in the below-investment-grade securities market and there may be significant differences in the prices quoted by the dealers. Because they are less liquid, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of the Fund’s securities than is the case with securities trading in a more liquid market.
Below-investment-grade securities typically contain redemption provisions that permit the issuer of the securities containing such provisions to redeem the securities at its discretion. If the issuer redeems below-investment-grade securities, the Fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields and may lose income.
Below-investment-grade securities markets may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse credit, economic, or market conditions than investment-grade securities.
Credit Quality. The Fund can invest in securities that are rated or unrated. “Investment-grade” securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) or S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the investment adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). “Below-investment-grade” securities are those that are rated below those categories, which are also referred to as “junk bonds.” While securities rated within the fourth highest category by S&P (meaning BBB+, BBB or BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered “investment-grade,” they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings to a security, the investment adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Ratings and market value may change from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer. Rating organizations might not change their credit rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular security may change over time. The investment adviser also may use its own research and analysis to assess those risks. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial strength of the insurer. The rating categories are described in an Appendix to the Statement of Additional Information.
Unrated Securities. Because the Fund purchases securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, the investment adviser may internally assign ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the investment adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Unrated securities are considered “investment-grade” or “below-investment-grade” if judged by the investment adviser to be comparable to rated investment-grade or below-investment-grade securities. The investment adviser’s rating does not constitute a guarantee of the credit quality. In addition, some unrated securities may not have an active trading market or may trade less actively than rated securities, which means that the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable price.
In evaluating the credit quality of a particular security, whether rated or unrated, the investment adviser will normally take into consideration a number of factors such as, if applicable, the financial resources of the issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service on a security, the issuer’s sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities of the issuer’s management, and regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.
A reduction in the rating of a security after the Fund buys it will not require the Fund to dispose of the security. However, the investment adviser will evaluate such downgraded securities to determine whether to keep them in the Fund’s portfolio.
Special Considerations of Senior Loans and Other Loans. The Fund may invest in loans, and in particular, in floating rate loans (sometimes referred to as “adjustable rate loans”) that hold (or in the judgment of the investment adviser, hold) a senior position in the capital structure of U.S. and foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities that, under normal circumstances, allow them to have priority of claim ahead of (or at least as high as) other obligations of a borrower in the event of liquidation. These investments are referred to as “Senior Loans.”
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund 9

Table of Contents
Senior loans typically have higher recoveries than other debt obligations that rank lower in the priority of payments for a particular debtor, because in most instances they take preference over those subordinated debt obligations, with respect to payment of interest and principal, and over stock. However, the Fund is still subject to the risk that the borrower under a loan will default on scheduled interest or principal payments and that the assets of the borrower to which the Fund has recourse will be insufficient to satisfy in full the payment obligations that the borrower has to the Fund. The risk of default will increase in the event of an economic downturn or, in the case of a floating rate loan, a substantial increase in interest rates (because the cost of the borrower’s debt service will increase as the interest rate on its loan is upwardly adjusted). The Fund may own a debt obligation of a borrower that becomes, or is about to become, insolvent. The Fund can also purchase debt obligations that are extended to a bankrupt entity (so called debtor-in-possession or ‘DIP’ financing) or debt obligations that are issued in connection with a restructuring of the borrower under bankruptcy laws.
In certain circumstances, loans may not be deemed to be securities, and in the event of fraud or misrepresentation by a borrower or an arranger, lenders will not have the protection of the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, as would be the case for bonds or stocks. Instead, in such cases, lenders generally rely on the contractual provisions in the loan agreement itself, and common-law fraud protections under applicable state law.
How the Fund Invests in Loans. The Fund may invest in loans in one or more of three ways: the Fund may invest directly in a loan by acting as an original lender; the Fund may invest directly in a loan by purchasing a loan by an assignment; or the Fund may invest indirectly in a loan by purchasing a participation interest in a loan. The Fund may also gain exposure to loans indirectly using certain derivative instruments, which is described elsewhere in this prospectus.
Original Lender. The Fund can invest in loans, generally “at par” (a price for the loan equal approximately to 100% of the funded principal amount of the loan, minus any original issue discount) as an original lender. When the Fund is an original lender, it is entitled to receive a return at the full interest rate for the loan.
Loan Assignments. The Fund may also purchase a loan by assignment. In a loan assignment, the Fund typically succeeds to the rights and obligations of the assigning lender under the loan agreement and becomes a “lender” under the loan agreement, entitled to the same rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement or set-off rights) that are available to lenders generally. When the Fund buys an assignment, it may be required to pay a fee, or cede a portion of the interest and fees that accrued prior to settlement of the assignment, to the lender selling the assignment. Occasionally, the selling lender pays a fee to the assignee. If the Fund assigns a loan, it may be required to pass along to a buyer a portion of any interest and fees that the Fund would otherwise be entitled to. In addition, the Fund may be required to pay a transfer fee to the lending agent.
Participation Interests. The Fund may invest in participation interests in loans. Participation interests represent an undivided fractional interest in a loan. They are typically purchased from banks or dealers that have made the loan or have become members of the loan syndicate by purchasing the loan by assignment. When the Fund invests in a loan via a participation, the participation seller remains the lender of record under the loan agreement, and the Fund typically becomes the beneficial owner of the loan, and is entitled to receive from the participation seller any payments or other property or distributions received by the participation seller from or on behalf of the borrower of the loan. When the Fund buys a participation, it may be required to pay a fee, or cede a portion of the interest and fees that accrued prior to settlement of the participation, to the lender selling the participation. Occasionally, the selling lender pays a fee to the participant. If the Fund sells a participation, it may be required to pass along to a buyer a portion of any interest and fees that the Fund would otherwise be entitled to.
Recourse. When the Fund invests in loans as an original lender it will have direct recourse against the borrower in the event of a failure to pay scheduled principal or interest. When it purchases a loan by assignment, it typically succeeds to whatever rights the assigning lender had under the loan agreement, and will therefore be entitled to the same rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement or set-off rights) that are available to lenders generally. When the Fund buys a participation interest, it assumes the credit risk of the borrower and the counterparty risk of the lender selling the participation interest (and, in certain circumstances, such lender’s credit risk), and the terms of the participation may not entitle the Fund to all rights of a direct lender under the loan (for example, with respect to consent, voting or enforcement rights). Therefore, the Fund’s rights under a participation interest for a particular loan may be more limited than the rights of the original lender or an investor who acquires an assignment of that loan. Where the Fund invests in a loan via a participation, the Fund generally will have no right of direct recourse against the borrower or ability to otherwise directly enforce the terms of the loan agreement.
Investments in Pooled Investment Entities that Invest in Loans. The Fund can also buy interests in trusts and other pooled entities (including other investment companies) that invest primarily or exclusively in loan obligations, including entities sponsored or advised by the Manager or an affiliate. The Fund will be subject to the pooled entity’s credit risks as well as the credit risks of the underlying loans. The loans underlying these investments may include loans to foreign or U.S. borrowers, may be collateralized or uncollateralized and may be rated investment-grade or below-investment-grade or may be unrated. These investments are subject to the risk of default by the borrower, interest rate and prepayment risk, as well as credit risks of the pooled entity that holds the loan obligations.
Interest Rates and Floating or Adjustable Rate Loans. The loans in which the Fund invests typically have floating or adjustable interest rates. For that reason, the Sub-Adviser expects that when interest rates change, the values of these floating rate loans will fluctuate less than the values of fixed-rate debt securities, and that the net asset values of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate less than the shares of funds that invest mainly in fixed-rate debt obligations. However, the interest rates of some floating rate loans adjust only periodically. Between the times that interest rates on floating rate loans adjust
10 Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund

Table of Contents
(which is most often quarterly, but may be monthly, every six months, or some other period), the interest rates on those floating rate loans may not correlate to prevailing interest rates. That will affect the value of the loans and may cause the net asset values of the Fund’s shares to fluctuate.
The base rate usually is a benchmark that “floats” or changes to reflect current interest rates, such as:
the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks (referred to as the “Prime Rate”), or
the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).
The applicable rate is defined in the loan agreement. Borrowers tend to select the base lending rate that results in the lowest interest cost, and the benchmark selected by a borrower for its loans may change from time to time (but the benchmark selected for a particular loan will remain the same for the life of that loan). If the benchmark interest rate on a floating rate loan changes, the rate payable to lenders under the floating rate loan will, in turn, change at the next scheduled adjustment date. If the benchmark rate increases, the Fund would earn interest at a higher rate on that floating rate loan after the next scheduled adjustment date. If the benchmark rate decreases, the Fund would earn interest at a lower rate on that floating rate loan after the next scheduled adjustment date.
The Fund may use interest rate swap agreements and other hedging practices to mitigate fluctuations in value when the interest rate under the loan is periodically reset.
The Fund may invest in loans having a fixed rate of interest; however, it is unlikely to do so because fixed rate loans are uncommon in the loan market generally.
Many financial instruments use or may use a floating rate based on LIBOR, which is the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. On July 27, 2017, the head of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. Due to the recency of this announcement, there remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of Libor and the nature of any replacement rate. As such, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on a fund or the financial instruments in which a fund invests cannot yet be determined.
Prepayment. The Fund has no limits as to the maturity of loans it may purchase. Senior Loans in general have a stated term of between five and seven years, and other types of loans in which the Fund may invest may have shorter or longer maturities. Notwithstanding their stated maturity, loans may be prepaid prior to their stated terms for reasons including, but not limited to, high market demand for loans, refinancing by the borrower, mandatory prepayment requirements or desire of the borrower to repay outstanding debt. If a borrower prepays a loan, the Fund will have to reinvest the proceeds in other loans or financial assets that may pay lower rates of return. However, any prepayment and facility fees the Fund receives may help reduce any adverse impact on the Fund’s yield. Because the interest rates on floating rate loans adjust periodically, the Sub-Adviser believes that the Fund should generally be able to reinvest prepayments in floating rate loans that have yields similar to those that have been prepaid.
Subordination. Senior loans typically hold the most senior position in a borrower’s capital structure. They may include loans that hold the most senior position alone, loans that hold an equal ranking with other senior debt, or loans that are, in the judgment of the Sub-Adviser, in the category of senior debt of the borrower. Borrowers typically are required contractually to pay the holders of senior loans before they pay the holders of subordinated debt and preferred or common shareholders and give the holders of senior secured loans a claim on some or all of the borrower’s assets that is senior to that of subordinated debt, preferred stock and common stock of the borrower in the event that the borrower defaults or becomes bankrupt. Senior loans are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a senior loan to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of senior loans.
That senior position in the borrower’s capital structure typically gives the holders of senior loans a claim on some or all of the borrower’s assets that is senior to that of subordinated debt, preferred stock and common stock of the borrower in the event that the borrower defaults or becomes bankrupt. This means in the event the assets of the borrower are insufficient in value to satisfy all its creditors, senior debt will be satisfied in priority to debt that is subordinate to senior debt.
Lien Position. Loans that are collateralized may have multiple lenders or other creditors that take different lien positions. While second lien loan positions generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in first lien loan positions, second lien loan positions have the additional risk that if the borrower defaults on its obligations under the loan and the loan creditors enforce their security interest or if the borrower becomes bankrupt, the secured claims of the creditors in the first lien position will be satisfied prior to the secured claims of the creditors in the second lien position. If the cash flow and assets of the borrower are insufficient to satisfy both the first lien loans and the second lien loans in full, the creditors in the second lien position may not be satisfied in full. If a loan has first and second lien positions, typically the Fund will invest in the first lien position; however, it may invest in the second lien position. Second lien positions generally pay a higher margin than first lien positions to compensate second lien creditors for the greater risk they assume.
Collateral. Loans may be fully collateralized with one or more of (1) working capital assets, such as accounts receivable and inventory, (2) tangible fixed assets, such as real property, buildings and equipment, (3) intangible assets such as trademarks or patents, or (4) shares of stock of the borrower or its subsidiaries or affiliates. A loan agreement may or may not require the borrower to pledge additional collateral to secure a loan if the value of the initial collateral declines, or if additional assets are acquired by the borrower. Collateral may consist of assets that may not be readily liquidated, and there is no assurance that the liquidation of those assets would satisfy a borrower’s obligations under a loan in full. A borrower’s subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders or owners may provide collateral in the form of secured guarantees and/or
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund 11

Table of Contents
security interests in assets that they own. However, the value of the collateral may decline after the Fund invests in the loan, particularly if the collateral consists of equity securities of the borrower or its subsidiaries or affiliates.
If a borrower defaults, insolvency laws may limit the Fund’s access to the collateral, or the lenders may be unable to liquidate the collateral. A bankruptcy court might find that the lenders’ security interest or their enforcement of their security under the loan to be invalid, or a bankruptcy court may require the borrower to use the collateral to pay other outstanding obligations prior to satisfying the lenders in full. If the collateral consists of stock of the borrower or its subsidiaries, the stock may lose all of its value in the event of a bankruptcy, which would leave the Fund exposed to greater potential loss. In addition, in the event of a borrower default on a collateralized loan, the Fund may receive assets other than cash or securities in full or partial satisfaction of the borrower’s obligation under the loan. Those assets may be illiquid, and the Fund might not be able to realize the benefit of the assets for legal, practical or other reasons. The Fund might hold those assets until the Sub-Adviser determines it is appropriate to dispose of them. If the collateral becomes illiquid or loses some or all of its value, the collateral may not be sufficient in value to compensate the Fund in full in the event of a default of scheduled interest or principal payments.
The Fund can invest in loans that are not secured by any specific collateral of the borrower. If the borrower is unable to pay interest or defaults in the payment of principal, there will be no collateral on which the Fund can foreclose. Therefore, these loans present greater risks than collateralized loans because the recourse of the Fund to the borrower’s assets in the case of a default would be as a general unsecured creditor. The Fund applies the same investment and credit standards to unsecured loans as to secured loans, except for collateral requirements.
Highly Leveraged Transactions and Insolvent Borrowers. The Fund can invest in loans made in connection with highly leveraged transactions. These transactions may include operating loans, leveraged buyout loans, leveraged capitalization loans and other types of acquisition financing. Those loans are subject to greater credit risks than other loans. Highly leveraged loans and loans in default also may be less liquid than other loans. If the Fund voluntarily or involuntarily sold those types of loans, it might not receive the full value it expected.
The Fund can also invest in loans of borrowers that are experiencing, or are likely to experience, financial difficulty. In addition, the Fund can invest in loans of borrowers that have filed for bankruptcy protection or that have had involuntary bankruptcy petitions filed against them by creditors. Various laws enacted for the protection of debtors may apply to loans. A bankruptcy proceeding against a borrower could delay or limit the ability of the Fund to collect the principal and interest payments on that borrower’s loans. If a lawsuit is brought by creditors of a borrower under a loan, a court or a trustee in bankruptcy could take certain actions that would be adverse to the Fund.
Restrictive Loan Covenants. Borrowers must comply with various restrictive covenants typically contained in loan agreements. They may include restrictions on dividend payments and other distributions to stockholders, provisions requiring the borrower to maintain specific financial ratios, and limits on total debt. They may include requirements that the borrower prepay the loan with any free cash flow. A break of a covenant that is not waived by the agent bank (or the lenders) is normally an event of default that provides the agent bank or the lenders the right to call the outstanding amount on the loan. If a lender accelerates the repayment of a loan because of the borrower’s violation of a restrictive covenant under the loan agreement, the borrower might default in payment of the loan.
Limited Secondary Market for Loans. Due to restrictions on transfers in loan agreements and the nature of the private syndication of loans, some loans are not as easily purchased or sold as publicly-traded securities. As a result, some loans are illiquid, which means that the Fund may be limited in its ability to sell those loans at an acceptable price when it wants to in order to generate cash, avoid losses or to meet repurchase requests. The market for illiquid financial assets is more volatile than the market for liquid securities and it may be more difficult to obtain accurate valuations for the Fund’s investments.
Possible Limited Availability of Loans. Direct investments in loans and, to a lesser degree, investments in participation interests in or assignments of loans may be limited. The limited availability may be due to a number of factors. Direct lenders may allocate only a small number of loans to new investors, including the Fund. There may be fewer loans available for investment that meet the Fund’s credit standards, particularly in times of economic downturns. Also, lenders or agents may have an incentive to market the less desirable loans to investors such as the Fund while retaining attractive loans for themselves. This would reduce the amount of attractive investments for the Fund. If market demand for loans increases, the interest paid by loans that the Fund holds may decrease.
Delayed Settlement. Compared to securities and to certain other types of financial assets, purchases and sales of loans take relatively longer to settle. This is partly due to the nature of loans, which require a written assignment agreement and various ancillary documents for each transfer, and frequently require discretionary consents from both the borrower and the administrative agent. In addition, dealers frequently insist on matching their purchases and sales, which can lead to delays in the Fund’s settlement of a purchase or sale in circumstances where the dealer’s corresponding transaction with another party is delayed. Dealers will also sometimes sell loans short, and hold their trades open for an indefinite period while waiting for a price movement or looking for inventory to purchase. This extended settlement process can (i) increase the counterparty credit risk borne by the Fund; (ii) leave the Fund unable to timely vote, or otherwise act with respect to, loans it has agreed to purchase; (iii) delay the Fund from realizing the proceeds of a sale of a loan; (iv) inhibit the Fund’s ability to re-sell a loan that it has agreed to purchase if conditions change (leaving the Fund more exposed to price fluctuations); (v) prevent the Fund from timely collecting principal and interest payments; and (vi) expose the Fund to adverse tax or regulatory consequences. To the extent the extended loan settlement process gives rise to short-term liquidity needs, such as the need to satisfy redemption requests, the Fund may hold cash, sell investments or temporarily

borrow from banks or other lenders. If the Fund undertakes such measures, the Fund’s ability to pay redemption proceeds in a timely manner, as well as the Fund’s performance, may be adversely affected.
Credit Quality Standards for Loans. Rating organizations, such as S&P or Moody’s, rate debt obligations by rating the issuer, after evaluating the issuer’s financial soundness. Generally, the lower the investment rating, the more risky the investment. Debt securities rated below “BBB-” by S&P or “Baa3” by Moody’s are commonly referred to as “high risk” securities or, in the case of bonds, “junk bonds.” Loans rated “B” are below investment grade and are regarded by rating organizations as predominantly speculative with respect to the borrower’s ability to repay interest and principal when due over a long period. While securities rated Baa by Moody’s or BBB by S&P are considered to be “investment grade,” they have some speculative characteristics. The Fund may invest in loans that are rated both investment grade and below-investment grade by different rating organizations. An appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information includes the definitions of the rating categories of the principal rating organizations.
Many loans are not rated by rating organizations. The lack of a rating does not necessarily imply that a loan is of lesser investment quality.
While the Fund expects to have access to financial and other information regarding the borrower that has been made available to the lenders under a loan, it may not have such information in connection with participation interests and certain loan assignments. Additionally, the amount of public information available with respect to loans generally will be less extensive than what is available for exchange-listed or otherwise registered securities.
The Sub-Adviser will normally seek to avoid receiving material, non-public information about the issuers of loans being considered for acquisition by the Fund or held in the Fund’s portfolio. The Sub-Adviser’s decision not to receive material, non-public information under normal circumstances may place the Fund at a disadvantage relative to other investors in loans, and could adversely affect the Fund’s investment performance. In certain cases, the Sub-Adviser may nevertheless receive material, non-public information regarding loans, and its ability to trade in such loans for the account of the Fund could potentially be limited by its possession of such information. Such limitations on the Sub-Adviser’s ability to trade could have an adverse effect on the Fund by, for example, preventing the Fund from selling a loan that is experiencing a material decline in value. In some instances, these trading restrictions could continue in effect for a substantial period of time.
The Fund does not intend to invest more than 5% of its total assets in Senior Loans with interest rates that adjust less often than semi-annually. Because investments in Senior Loans with longer interest rate adjustment periods may increase fluctuations in the Fund’s net asset values as a result of interest rate changes, the Fund will attempt to maintain a dollar-weighted average time until the next interest rate adjustment of 90 days or less for its portfolio of Senior Loans.
The Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in loans that are below investment grade. However, the Fund can invest only a variable amount of its net assets in debt obligations, including loans, rated below “B” (at the time the Fund buys them). The limit on investments rated below “B” is variable and is measured as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets. The limit is determined by reference to the J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index, a representative index of tradeable, senior secured, U.S. dollar-denominated, non-investment grade loans. The limit is equal to the percentage of assets rated below “B” constituting the J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index plus 10%. The limit is reset monthly based on the percentage of below “B” assets constituting the J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index at the prior month’s end. For example, if on March 31st, the percentage of below “B” assets in the J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index was 7.5%, the Fund could invest up to 17.5% of its net assets in investments rated below “B” during the month of April. The Fund is not obligated to dispose of its investment in a loan if its rating drops below “B,” but the Sub-Adviser will monitor the loan to determine if any action is warranted or desirable. There is no limit on the Fund’s investment in unrated loans if the limitations set forth above are met.
Subordinated Debt Obligations. The Fund can purchase fixed-rate and adjustable-rate subordinated debt obligations issued by U.S. or foreign entities. The Fund has no requirements as to the maturity of the debt securities it can buy, or as to the market capitalization range of the issuers of those securities. The Fund can invest a variable amount of its net assets in investments, including subordinated debt obligations, rated below “B.” See “Credit Quality Standards for Senior Loans” above. Subordinated debt obligations do not have the same level of priority as Senior Loans and accordingly involve more risk than Senior Loans. If a borrower becomes insolvent, the borrower’s assets may be insufficient to meet its obligations to the holders of its subordinated debt.
U.S. Government Securities. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities. Some of those securities are directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. “Full faith and credit” means that the taxing power of the U.S. Government is pledged to the payment of interest and repayment of principal on a security.
Some securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, such as Government National Mortgage Corporation pass-through mortgage obligations (“Ginnie Maes”), are also backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Others are supported only by the credit of the agency (for example, obligations issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks, “Fannie Mae” bonds issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and “Freddie Mac” obligations issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). In September 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency placed the Federal National Mortgage Corporation and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation into conservatorship. The U.S. Department of Treasury also entered into a secured lending credit facility with those companies and a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. Under those agreements, the Treasury will ensure that each company maintains a positive net worth. The Federal National Mortgage Corporation and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation remain in conservatorship, and the effect that this will have on the companies’ debt and equity securities in unclear. Although the U.S. government has
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund 13

Table of Contents
provided financial support to these companies, there can be no assurance that it will continue to support these or other government-sponsored entities in the future. Further, the benefits of any such government support may extend only to holders of certain classes of an issuer’s securities.
U.S. Treasury Obligations. These include Treasury bills (which have maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (which have maturities greater than one year and up to ten years when issued), and Treasury bonds (which have maturities of more than ten years when issued). Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States as to timely payments of interest and repayments of principal. The Fund can also buy U.S. Treasury securities that have been “stripped” of their coupons by a Federal Reserve Bank, zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities described below and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities (“TIPS”).
Obligations Issued or Guaranteed by U.S. Government Agencies or Instrumentalities. These include direct obligations and mortgage-related securities that have different levels of credit support from the U.S. Government. Some are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, such as Ginnie Maes. Some are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances, such as Fannie Mae bonds and Freddie Mac obligations. Others are supported only by the credit of the entity that issued them. Securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are also supported by commitments from the U.S. Treasury to purchase certain of those agencies’ securities during market conditions in which the U.S. Treasury deems it necessary for the promotion of market stability.
Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are fractional interests in pools of loans, receivables or other assets. They are issued by trusts or other special purpose vehicles and are collateralized by the loans, receivables or other assets that make up the pool. The trust or other issuer passes the income from the underlying asset pool to the investor.
Neither the Fund nor the investment adviser selects the loans, receivables or other assets that are included in the pools or the collateral backing those pools. Asset-backed securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. These securities are subject to the risk of default by the issuer as well as by the borrowers of the underlying loans in the pool. Certain asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.
Short-Term, Investment-Grade Debt Obligations. The Fund can hold cash and invest in cash equivalents such as highly-rated commercial paper, bank obligations, repurchase agreements, Treasury bills and short-term U.S. government securities that are investment grade.
Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow from banks, a technique referred to as “leverage,” in amounts up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowings. The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing Senior Loans or other securities believed to be desirable by the Sub-Adviser when available. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes. The Fund currently participates in a line of credit with certain banks as lenders.
Borrowing for leverage will subject the Fund to greater costs (for interest payments to the lenders, origination fees and related expenses) than funds that do not borrow for leverage and these other purposes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield, especially if the cost of borrowing to buy investments exceeds the yield on the investments purchased with the proceeds of a loan. Using leverage may also make the Fund’s share price more sensitive, i.e. volatile, than if the Fund did not use leverage due to the tendency to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio investments. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations to the lenders.
Diversification and Concentration. The Fund is a diversified fund. It attempts to reduce its exposure to the risks of individual securities by diversifying its investments across a broad number of different issuers. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry, except that the Fund may invest without limit in instruments of the group of industries in the financial securities sector. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in some industries more than others. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. That limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities; however, securities issued by any one foreign government are considered to be part of a single “industry.” The Fund will consider, to the extent practicable, the concentration of the portfolio securities of any underlying investment companies in which it may invest when determining compliance with its concentration policy.
The Fund regards the “issuer” of a Senior Loan as including the borrower under the loan agreement, the agent bank and any intermediate participant. The Fund may look to the creditworthiness of the agent bank and other intermediate participants in a Senior Loan, in addition to the borrower. That is because it may be necessary to assert through the agent bank or intermediate participant any rights that may exist under the loan against the borrower if the borrower defaults. Those parties typically are commercial banks, thrift institutions, insurance companies and finance companies (and their holding companies). The Fund will be subject to the risks associated with these financial institutions.
Companies in the financial securities industries may be more susceptible to particular economic and regulatory events such as fluctuations in interest rates, changes in the monetary policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, governmental regulations concerning those industries and affecting capital raising activities and fluctuations in the financial markets.
Foreign Senior Loans. The Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in Senior Loans that are made to foreign borrowers, or in other securities (such as subordinated debt and fixed-rate loans) issued by foreign entities. The Fund’s
14 Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund

Table of Contents
foreign Senior Loans must be dollar-denominated, and interest and principal payments must be payable in U.S. dollars, which may reduce risks of currency fluctuations on the values of those Senior Loans. The Fund can only invest in Senior Loans or in other securities from non-U.S. borrowers or issuers from countries that the Sub-Adviser deems to be developed countries. The Fund will not invest in loans or other securities of borrowers or issuers from developing or emerging market countries. Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American Depositary 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” because they are not subject to many of the special considerations and risks that apply to foreign securities held and traded abroad. The differences in foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights may pose special risks in the case of Senior Loans and other loans to foreign borrowers.
Risks of Foreign Investing. Securities traded in foreign markets often involve special risks not present in U.S. investments that can increase the chances the Fund will lose money. Additional information regarding certain of the risks associated with foreign investing is provided below.
Foreign Market Risk. If there are fewer investors in a particular foreign market, securities traded in that market may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities and more difficult to price. Foreign markets may also be subject to delays in the settlement of transactions and difficulties in pricing securities. If the Fund is delayed in settling a purchase or sale transaction, it may not receive any return on the invested assets or it may lose money if the value of the security declines. It may also be more expensive for the Fund to buy or sell securities in certain foreign markets than in the United States, which may increase the Fund’s expense ratio.
Foreign Economy Risk. Foreign economies may be more vulnerable to political or economic changes than the U.S. economy. They may be more concentrated in particular industries or may rely on particular resources or trading partners to a greater extent. Certain foreign economies may be adversely affected by shortages of investment capital or by high rates of inflation. Changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad may also have a greater impact on the economies of certain foreign countries.
Foreign Governmental and Regulatory Risks. Foreign companies may not be subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements as U.S. companies. As a result there may be less accurate information available regarding a foreign company’s operations and financial condition. Foreign companies may be subject to capital controls, nationalization, or confiscatory taxes. There may be less government regulation of foreign issuers, exchanges and brokers than in the United States. Some countries also have restrictions that limit foreign ownership and may impose penalties for increases in the value of the Fund’s investment. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be affected if it experiences difficulties in enforcing legal judgments in foreign courts.
Foreign Currency Risk. A change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency. If the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency will be worth less in U.S. dollars and if the U.S. dollar decreases in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency will be worth more in U.S. dollars. The dollar value of foreign investments may also be affected by exchange controls. Foreign currency exchange transactions may impose additional costs on the Fund. The Fund can also invest in derivative instruments linked to foreign currencies. The change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of derivatives linked to that foreign currency. The investment adviser’s selection of foreign currency denominated investments may not perform as expected. Currency derivative investments may be particularly volatile and subject to greater risks than other types of foreign-currency denominated investments.
Foreign Custody Risk. There may be very limited regulatory oversight of certain foreign banks or securities depositories that hold foreign securities and foreign currency and the laws of certain countries may limit the ability to recover such assets if a foreign bank or depository or their agents goes bankrupt. There may also be an increased risk of loss of portfolio securities.
Time Zone Arbitrage. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in foreign securities, it may be exposed to “time-zone arbitrage” attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange that day, when the Fund’s net asset value is calculated. If such time zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Fund’s use of “fair value pricing” under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the investment adviser and the Board believe to be their fair value, may help deter those activities.
Globalization Risks. The growing inter-relationship of global economies and financial markets has increased the effect of conditions in one country or region on issuers of securities in a different country or region. In particular, the adoption or prolongation of protectionist trade policies by one or more countries, changes in economic or monetary policy in the United States or abroad, or a slowdown in the U.S. economy, could lead to a decrease in demand for products and reduced flows of capital and income to companies in other countries.
Regional Focus. At times, the Fund might increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular region of the world. Securities of issuers in a region might be affected by changes in economic conditions or by changes in government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that region more than others. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on investments in a particular region, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in that region than a fund that invests in a different region or that is more geographically diversified. Political, social or economic disruptions in the region may adversely affect the values of the Fund’s holdings.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different types of “derivative” instruments. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks. The Fund may use derivatives to seek to increase its investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so. The Fund may use strategies with derivative instruments to hedge the Fund’s portfolio against price fluctuations or because they offer the potential for reduction of interest rate risk (by reducing the effective maturity of an obligation).
Credit Default Swaps. A credit default swap enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a credit event with respect to an issuer, such as an issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on its debt obligations, bankruptcy or restructuring. A credit default swap may be embedded within a structured note or other derivative instrument.
Generally, if the Fund buys credit protection using a credit default swap, the Fund will make fixed payments to the counterparty and if a credit event occurs with respect to the applicable issuer, the Fund will deliver the issuer’s defaulted bonds underlying the swap to the swap counterparty and the counterparty will pay the Fund par for the bonds. If the Fund sells credit protection using a credit default swap, generally the Fund will receive fixed payments from the counterparty and if a credit event occurs with respect to the applicable issuer, the Fund will pay the swap counterparty par for the issuer’s defaulted bonds and the swap counterparty will deliver the bonds to the Fund. Alternatively, a credit default swap may be cash settled and the buyer of protection would receive the difference between the par value and the market value of the issuer’s defaulted bonds from the seller of protection. If the credit default swap is on a basket of issuers, the notional value of the swap is reduced by the amount represented by that issuer, and the fixed payments are then made on the reduced notional value.
Risks of Credit Default Swaps. Credit default swaps are subject to credit risk of the underlying issuer and to counterparty credit risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money. Credit default swaps are also subject to the risk that the Fund will not properly assess the risk of the underlying issuer. If the Fund is selling credit protection, there is a risk that a credit event will occur and that the Fund will have to pay the counterparty. If the Fund is buying credit protection, there is a risk that no credit event will occur and the Fund will receive no benefit for the premium paid.
Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security, obligor or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform as expected. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative investment. In addition, some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and may increase portfolio turnover. Derivatives are subject to credit risk, since the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from the investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.
In addition, under financial reform legislation currently being implemented, certain over-the-counter derivatives, including certain interest rate swaps and certain credit default swaps, are (or soon will be) required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse, which may result in increased margin requirements and costs for the Fund. It is unclear how these regulatory changes will affect counterparty risk, and entering into a derivative transaction that is cleared may entail further risks and costs, including the counterparty risk of the clearinghouse and the futures commission merchant through which the Fund accesses the clearinghouse.
Other Investment Strategies and Risks. The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.
Equity Securities and Warrants. The acquisition of equity securities will be incidental to the Fund’s purchase of a loan. The Fund can acquire equity securities as part of a unit combining the Senior Loan and equity securities of a borrower or its affiliates. The Fund may also acquire equity securities issued in exchange for a Senior Loan or in connection with the restructuring of a Senior Loan, subordinated and unsecured loans and high-yield securities. To the extent the Fund acquires equity securities as described above, the Fund may also purchase additional equity securities of those issuers. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common stock. Equity securities are subject to market risks and the risks of changes to the financial condition of the issuer, and fluctuations in value.
Zero-Coupon and “Stripped” Securities. Some of the government and corporate debt securities the Fund can buy are zero-coupon obligations that pay no interest. These securities are issued at a substantial discount from their face value. “Stripped” securities are the separate income or principal components of a debt security. Some collateralized loan obligations may be stripped, with each component having a different proportion of principal or interest payments. One class might receive all the interest and the other all the principal payments.
Zero-coupon and stripped securities are subject to greater fluctuations in price from interest rate changes than interest-bearing securities. The Fund may have to pay out the imputed income on zero-coupon securities without receiving the actual cash currently. Interest-only and principal-only securities are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. The values of interest-only securities are also very sensitive to prepayments of underlying obligations. When prepayments tend to fall, the timing of the cash flows to principal-only securities increases, making them more sensitive to changes in
16 Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund

Table of Contents
interest rates. The market for some of these securities may be limited, making it difficult for the Fund to value them or to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price. The Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in zero-coupon securities issued by either the U.S. government or U.S. companies.
“When-Issued” and “Delayed Delivery” Transactions. The Fund can purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis and can purchase or sell such securities on a “delayed-delivery” basis. Between the purchase and settlement, no payment is made for the security and no interest accrues to the buyer from the investment. There is a risk of loss to the Fund if the value of the security declines prior to the settlement date.
Investments in Other Investment Companies. The Fund can purchase shares of other investment companies to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Investment companies typically pay management, custodian and other transaction costs. Therefore, the Fund would be subject to its pro rata share of these expenses to the extent that it purchases shares of other investment companies.
Repurchase Agreements. In a repurchase transaction, a Fund buys a security and simultaneously sells it back to an approved institution for delivery on an agreed-upon future date. The resale price exceeds the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate effective for the period during which the repurchase agreement is in effect. Approved institutions include U.S. commercial banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks or broker-dealers that have been designated as primary dealers in government securities. They must meet credit requirements set by the investment adviser from time to time. Repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized. However, if the seller fails to pay the repurchase price on the delivery date, a Fund may incur costs in disposing of the collateral and may experience losses if there is any delay in its ability to do so. If the default on the part of the seller is due to its bankruptcy, a Fund’s ability to liquidate the collateral may be delayed or limited.
Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments that do not have an active trading market, or that have legal or contractual limitations on their resale, are generally referred to as “illiquid” securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value or to sell promptly at an acceptable price or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they can be sold publicly. Securities that have limitations on their resale are referred to as “restricted securities.” Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be regarded as illiquid.
The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. The Fund’s holdings of illiquid securities are monitored on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any of those securities to maintain adequate liquidity.
Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. Money market instruments are short-term, U.S. dollar-denominated debt instruments issued or guaranteed by domestic and foreign corporations and financial institutions, the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities and other entities. Money market instruments include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, treasury bills, certain asset-backed securities and other short term debt obligations that have a final maturity, as defined under rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, of 397 days or less. They may have fixed, variable or floating interest rates. Money market instruments are subject to certain risks, including the risk that an issuer of an obligation that the Fund holds might have its credit rating downgraded or might default on its obligations, or that interest rates might rise sharply, causing the value of the Fund’s investments to fall.
The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund. It may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds. The Fund may invest in such other money market funds, such as Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund, rather than purchasing individual short-term investments. Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and is part of the Oppenheimer family of funds. At the time of an investment, the Fund cannot always predict what will be the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund, or any other money market fund it may hold, because of the wide variety of instruments that such fund may hold in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of any other money market fund it may hold, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund’s advisory fee to the extent of the Fund’s share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund, or to any other similar affiliated money market fund of which the Fund is a shareholder. If the Fund invests in an unaffiliated money market fund, the Manager will not waive a portion of the Fund’s advisory fee representing the Fund’s share of the advisory fee paid by such unaffiliated fund to any unaffiliated manager.
Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager, the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates with respect to other funds and accounts they manage may present potential conflicts of interest that could, under certain circumstances, disadvantage or adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates advise other funds and accounts that have investment objectives and strategies that differ from, and may be contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund’s investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates may also have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives and strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. For example, those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of investment opportunities as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different features and interests as compared to securities held by the Fund. These features (such as seniority, guarantees and differential voting rights) may, under certain circumstances, come into conflict with or disadvantage securities held by the Fund. In addition, other funds or accounts advised by the
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund 17

Table of Contents
Manager, the Sub-Adviser, or their affiliates may invest in the Fund’s shares. Because the Manager, the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates may carry out the investment activities of those other funds or accounts without regard to the investment objectives or performance of the Fund, it is possible that the value of investments held by the Fund (or shares of the Fund itself, if applicable) or the Fund’s investment strategies may be adversely affected.
The Fund’s investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other funds or accounts that are also advised by the Fund’s Manager, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates even in cases where the investment objectives and strategies of the relevant funds or accounts are similar. When managing multiple funds or accounts, the Fund’s Manager, the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates may make decisions with respect to investment positions held by certain funds or accounts that may cause the Fund to experience losses during periods in which other funds or accounts achieve gains. This may include causing another fund or account to take actions with respect to an issuer’s liquidation, restructuring, default or corporate actions that may conflict with the interests of the Fund. Similar conflicts may also arise when the Fund and other funds or accounts invest in different parts of an issuer’s capital structure, such as when the Fund holds equity or debt obligations of an issuer, and another fund or account holds more senior (or junior) debt obligations of the same issuer, or when the Fund and other funds or accounts hold securities of different issuers that have competing claims to the same assets or sources of payment. In such circumstances, decisions regarding whether to trigger an event of default, the terms of any potential workout or restructuring of a distressed issuer, liquidating or selling an investment, corporate actions, litigation or other investment decisions may, and often do, result in conflicts of interest. The Fund may receive lower returns on its investment in an issuer as a result of actions taken with respect to the same or related issuers by other investors, including other funds or accounts managed by the Manager, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates.
The Fund’s Manager, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates may manage funds or accounts with different fee rates and/or fee structures, including funds or accounts that pay advisory fees based on account performance (“performance fee accounts”). Such differences in fee arrangements may raise potential conflicts of interest by creating an incentive to favor higher-fee accounts. For example, the Manager, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates could potentially allocate the most attractive investments to higher-fee accounts or performance fee accounts, or the trading of higher-fee accounts could potentially be favored as to timing and/or execution price.
The Manager and the Sub-Adviser have adopted policies and procedures designed to mitigate where possible potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser. However, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund’s investment activities and affect its performance. For example, the investment activities of such funds or accounts may result in the Manager’s, the Sub-Adviser’s or their affiliates’ receipt of material non-public information concerning certain securities, which could lead to restrictions in the trading of such securities or other investment activities of the Fund or other funds or accounts managed by the Manager, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates. In certain cases, the Fund’s Manager, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates may avoid certain investment opportunities or actions that would potentially give rise to conflicts with other funds or accounts, which could also have the effect of limiting the Fund’s investment opportunities and performance. In other cases, the Fund’s Manager, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates may choose not to or fail to avoid investment opportunities or action that would potentially give rise to conflicts with other funds or accounts, which could under certain circumstances disadvantage the Fund while advantaging other funds or accounts or vice versa.
The Manager, the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates may also face other potential conflicts of interest in managing the Fund, and the information above is not a complete description of every conflict that could be deemed to exist when simultaneously managing the Fund and other funds and accounts.
Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its total assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies. Generally, the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments in which Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund invests or in other short-term U.S. government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund portfolio securities or to meet anticipated redemptions of Fund shares. To the extent the Fund invests in these securities, it might not achieve its investment objective.
Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees, dealer mark-ups or other transaction costs, which can adversely affect performance. (The Fund ordinarily incurs few or no brokerage fees because most of the Fund’s portfolio transactions are principal trades that do not require payment of brokerage commission.) If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights tables at the end of this prospectus show the Fund’s portfolio turnover rates during past fiscal years.
Changes To The Fund’s Investment Policies. The Fund’s fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting shares, however, the Fund’s Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. Shareholders will receive 60 days’ advance notice of any change in the 80% investment policy described in “Principal Investment Strategies.” The Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy and may be changed without
18 Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund

Table of Contents
shareholder approval. Investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy or restriction is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.
Portfolio Holdings. The Fund’s portfolio holdings are included in its semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Schedule of Investments on Form N-Q, which is a public filing that is required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund’s first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund’s portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. In addition, the Fund’s portfolio holdings information, as of the end of each calendar month, may be posted and available on the Fund’s website no sooner than 30 days after the end of each calendar month.
A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
How the Fund is Managed
THE MANAGER AND THE SUB-ADVISER. OFI Global Asset Management, Inc., the Manager, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. The Manager oversees the Fund’s investments and its business operations. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., the Sub-Adviser, chooses the Fund’s investments and provides related advisory services. The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the policies established by the Fund’s Board, under an investment advisory agreement with the Fund that states the Manager’s responsibilities. The agreement sets the fees the Fund pays to the Manager and describes the expenses that the Fund is responsible to pay to conduct its business. The Sub-Adviser has a sub-advisory agreement with the Manager and is paid by the Manager.
The Manager has been an investment adviser since 2012. The Sub-Adviser has been an investment adviser since 1960. The Manager and the Sub-Adviser are located at 225 Liberty Street, New York, New York 10281-1008.
Advisory Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate that declines on additional assets as the Fund grows: 0.75% of the first $200 million of average annual net assets, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, 0.60% of the next $4.2 billion, 0.58% of the next $5 billion, 0.56% of the next $10 billion, and 0.55% of average annual net assets in excess of $20 billion, calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund. Under the sub-advisory agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser a percentage of the net investment advisory fee (after all applicable waivers) that it receives from the Fund as compensation for the provision of the investment advisory services. The Fund’s advisory fee for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018 was 0.59% of average annual net assets, before any applicable waivers.
After discussions with the Fund’s Board, the Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investments in funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of this prospectus, unless approved by the Board. The Fund’s annual operating expenses may vary in future years.
A discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is available in the Fund’s Semi-Annual Report to shareholders for the period ended January 31, 2018.
Portfolio Managers. The Fund’s portfolio is managed by Joseph Welsh, CFA, and David Lukkes, CFA, who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investments. Mr. Welsh has been a Vice President and portfolio manager of the Fund since September 1999 and Mr. Lukkes has been a Vice President and portfolio manager of the Fund since October 2015.
Mr. Welsh has been the Head of the High Yield Corporate Debt Team since April 2009 and a Senior Vice President of the Sub-Adviser since May 2009. He was a Vice President of the Sub-Adviser from December 2000 to April 2009. Mr. Welsh is a portfolio manager and officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.
Mr. Lukkes has been a senior portfolio manager of the High Yield Corporate Debt Team since January 2015 and a Vice President of the Sub-Adviser since June 2013.

More About Your Account
About Your Account
Where Can You Buy Fund Shares? Oppenheimer funds may be purchased either directly or through a variety of “financial intermediaries” that offer Fund shares to their clients. Financial intermediaries include securities dealers, financial advisers, brokers, banks, trust companies, insurance companies and the sponsors of fund “supermarkets,” fee-based advisory or wrap fee-based programs. Financial intermediaries through which you purchase fund shares may impose policies and limitations that are different from those described in this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary. To be eligible for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information, you may need to open an account directly with the Fund. You should consult a representative of your financial intermediary for further information. In addition, the availability of the sales charge reductions and waivers discussed below will depend upon whether or not you purchase your shares through a financial intermediary. Intermediaries may have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of these reductions or waivers. Information on intermediaries’ variations from the reductions and waivers discussed below are disclosed in the appendix to this prospectus titled “Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers.” Your financial intermediary may also charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus.
    
What Classes of Shares Does The Fund Offer? The Fund offers investors five different classes of shares. The different classes of shares represent investments in the same portfolio of securities, but the classes are subject to different expenses and will usually have different share prices. When you buy shares, be sure to specify the class of shares you wish to purchase. If you do not choose a class or identify your financial adviser, your investment will be made in Class A shares, unless you are an eligible employee (defined below) in which case your investment will be made in Class Y shares.
Class A Shares. If you buy Class A shares, you will pay an initial sales charge on investments up to $1 million for regular accounts unless you qualify for certain fee waivers. The amount of the sales charge will vary depending on the amount you invest. The sales charge rates for different investment amounts are listed in “About Class A Shares” below.
Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you will pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an ongoing asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within 12 months after buying them, you will normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00%, as described in “About Class C Shares” below.
Class R Shares. Class R shares are offered only to retirement plans and accounts, at net asset value per share without an initial sales charge. If you buy Class R shares you will pay an ongoing asset-based sales charge. See “About Class R Shares” below.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are offered only to institutional investors, wrap fee-based programs, commissionable brokerage platforms that charge a transaction-based sales commission and eligible employees. See “About Class Y Shares” below.
Class I Shares. Class I shares are only offered to eligible institutional investors that make a minimum initial investment of $1 million or more and to retirement plan service providers’ platforms. See “About Class I Shares” below.
Certain sales charge waivers may apply to purchases or redemptions of Class A or Class C shares. More information about those waivers is available below in “Sales Charge Waivers” and/or in the appendix to this prospectus titled “Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers,” or by visiting the OppenheimerFunds website at: www.oppenheimerfunds.com.
What is the Minimum Investment? You can buy most Fund share classes with a minimum initial investment of $1,000. For Class I shares the minimum initial investment is $1 million per account. The Class I share minimum initial investment is waived for service provider platforms. Reduced initial minimums are available for other share classes in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following:
Traditional and Roth IRA accounts as well as Asset Builder Plan, Automatic Exchange Plan and government allotment plan accounts may be opened with a minimum initial investment of $500.
For wrap fee-based programs, salary reduction plans and other retirement plans and accounts, there is no minimum initial investment.
The Fund, at its discretion, reserves the right to otherwise waive the minimum initial investment. There are no subsequent purchase minimums.
Minimum Account Balance. The minimum account balance on Fund accounts is $500, except for Class I shares. Small accounts may be redeemed by the Fund with 30 days’ notice if the value has fallen below $500.
The minimum account balance for Class I shares is $250,000. If a Class I account balance falls below $250,000, the account may be redeemed or converted into a Class Y share account. This minimum balance policy does not apply to Class I share accounts for which the minimum initial investment is waived.

Choosing a Share Class. Once you decide that the Fund is an appropriate investment for you, deciding which class of shares is best suited to your needs depends on a number of factors that you should discuss with your financial advisor. The Fund’s operating costs that apply to a share class and the effect of the different types of sales charges on your investment will affect your investment results over time. For example, expenses such as the distribution or service fees will reduce the net asset value and the dividends on share classes that are subject to those expenses.
Two of the factors to consider are how much you plan to invest and, while future financial needs cannot be predicted with certainty, how long you plan to hold your investment. For example, with larger purchases that qualify for a reduced initial sales charge on Class A shares, the effect of paying an initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares may be less over time than the effect of the distribution fees on other share classes. If your goals and objectives change over time and you plan to purchase additional shares, you should re-evaluate each of the factors to see if you should consider a different class of shares.
The discussion below is not intended to be investment advice or a recommendation, because each investor’s financial considerations are different. The discussion below assumes that you will purchase only one class of shares and not a combination of shares of different classes. These examples are based on approximations of the effects of current sales charges and expenses projected over time, and do not detail all of the considerations in selecting a class of shares. You should analyze your options carefully with your financial advisor before making that choice.
Investing for the Shorter Term. While the Fund is meant to be a long-term investment, if you have a relatively short-term investment horizon, you should consider investing in Class C shares in most cases. That is because the effect of the initial sales charge on most Class A shares may be greater than the effect of the ongoing asset-based sales charge on Class C shares over the short-term. The Class C contingent deferred sales charge does not apply to redemptions of shares held for more than one year.
Investing for the Longer Term. If you have a longer-term investment horizon, Class A shares may be more appropriate in most cases. That is because the effect of the ongoing asset-based sales charge on Class C shares might be greater than the effect of the initial sales charge on Class A shares, regardless of the amount of your investment.
Amount of Your Investment. Your choice will also depend on how much you plan to invest. As your investment horizon increases and/or your eligibility for a reduced front-end sales charge applies, Class C shares might not be as advantageous as Class A shares with a sales charge. That is because the effect of the ongoing asset-based sales charge on Class C shares may be greater than the effect of the reduced front-end sales charge on Class A share purchases. For an investor who is eligible to invest in Class I shares, that share class will be the most advantageous. For other investors who invest $1 million or more or in other arrangements that qualify for a sales charge waiver, Class A shares will be more advantageous than Class C shares in most cases, no matter how long you intend to hold your shares.
Purchase orders from a single investor for more than $1 million of Class C shares will not normally be accepted. Financial intermediaries are responsible for determining the suitability of a particular share class for an investor.
Are There Differences in Account Features That Matter to You? Some account features may not be available for all share classes. Other features may not be advisable because of the effect of the contingent deferred sales charge. Therefore, you should carefully review how you plan to use your investment account before deciding which class of shares to buy.
How Do Share Classes Affect Payments to Your Financial Intermediary? The Class C contingent deferred sales charge and asset-based sales charge have the same purpose as the front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge on Class A shares: to compensate the Distributor for concessions and expenses it pays to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries for selling Fund shares. Those financial intermediaries may receive different compensation for selling different classes of shares. The Sub-Adviser or Distributor may also pay dealers or other financial intermediaries additional amounts from their own resources based on the value of Fund shares held by the intermediary for its own account or held for its customers’ accounts. For more information about those payments, see “Payments to Financial Intermediaries and Service Providers” below.
The Price of Fund Shares. Shares may be purchased at their offering price which is the net asset value per share plus any initial sales charge that applies. Shares are redeemed at their net asset value per share less any contingent deferred sales charge that applies. The net asset value that applies to a purchase or redemption order is the next one calculated after the Distributor receives the order, in proper form as described in this prospectus, or after any agent appointed by the Distributor receives the order in proper form as described in this prospectus. Your financial intermediary can provide you with more information regarding the time you must submit your purchase order and whether the intermediary is an authorized agent for the receipt of purchase and redemption orders.
Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of shares based on the value of the Fund’s portfolio investments determined as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a “regular business day”) except, if there is a NYSE scheduled early closing, the Fund will calculate its net asset values for each share class based on the value of the Fund’s portfolio determined as of the NYSE scheduled early closing time (the “Valuation Time”). The net asset value per share for each share class is determined by dividing the net assets of the class by the number of outstanding shares of that class.
The Fund’s securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange and are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices as determined by a pricing service or by utilizing evaluated prices provided by
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund 21

Table of Contents
a pricing service. Pricing services generally price debt securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, but the Fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lot trades.
Fair Value Pricing. If the investment adviser determines that a value for any of the Fund’s assets is not readily available or the value normally obtained for it, such as from a pricing service, is not reliable when the Fund’s net asset value is to be calculated, the investment adviser will determine a fair value for the asset in good faith, pursuant to valuation procedures for the Fund adopted by the Board, and will incorporate that fair value in its net asset value calculation. These fair value determinations are intended to reflect values for the Fund’s assets that the investment adviser and the Board believe to be more reliable. However, the Fund’s fair value determinations involve subjective judgments and there can be no assurance that the Fund will receive the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security. Fair value determinations are subject to review, approval or ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting, or more frequently if necessary, after the fair valuations are determined.
The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the investment adviser who has established a valuation committee to oversee those responsibilities. In determining whether a value is not readily available or reliable, the investment adviser monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities to identify significant events that the investment adviser believes, in good faith, will affect the value of the investment. Those may include, but are not limited to, information or events affecting or related to specific issuers, securities, or markets; consideration of recent transactions in comparable securities; price movements in futures contracts, appropriate market indices, ADRs or exchange-traded funds; the bid/ask quotes of brokers; or other market or trading trends or information.
Fair Value Pricing of Foreign Securities. Many foreign markets close hours before the Fund values its foreign investments. As a result, significant events, including events affecting a specific issuer or security, broad market movements or volatility that occurs in U.S. markets after the close of foreign securities markets, may occur during that time that could affect the values of foreign securities held by the Fund. The Fund uses fair value pricing more frequently for foreign securities to take those factors into account. Because some foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund’s foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.
About Class A Shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value of the shares (described below) plus, in most cases, an initial sales charge. The Fund receives the amount of your investment, minus the sales charge, to invest for your account. In some cases, Class A purchases may qualify for a reduced sales charge or a sales charge waiver, as described below and in the appendix to this prospectus titled “Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers.”
The Class A sales charge rate varies depending on the amount of your purchase. A portion or all of the sales charge may be retained by the Distributor or paid to your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary as a concession. The current sales charge rates and concessions paid are shown in the table below. There is no initial sales charge on Class A purchases of $1 million or more, but a contingent deferred sales charge (described below) may apply.
Amount of Purchase Front-End Sales Charge
As a Percentage of
Offering Price
Front-End Sales Charge

Less than $100,000 3.50% 3.63% 3.00%

$250,000 or more but less than $500,000 2.00% 2.04% 1.75%  

$500,000 or more but less than $1 million 1.50% 1.52% 1.25%  
Due to rounding, the actual sales charge for a particular transaction may be higher or lower than the rates listed above.

Reduced Class A Sales Charges. Under a “Right of Accumulation” or a “Letter of Intent” you may be eligible to buy Class A shares of the Fund at the reduced sales charge rate that would apply to a larger purchase. Purchases of “qualified shares” of the Fund and certain other Oppenheimer funds may be added to your Class A share purchases for calculating the applicable sales charge.
Except as noted below, Class A and Class C shares of the Oppenheimer funds listed in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information under the heading “The Oppenheimer Funds” (including shares of the Fund), and Class A and Class C units owned in adviser sold college savings programs, for which an affiliate of the Manager or the Distributor serves as the “Program Manager” or “Program Distributor” are “qualified shares” for satisfying the terms of a Right of Accumulation or a Letter of Intent. Purchases made by reinvestment of dividend or capital gain distributions are “qualified shares” for satisfying the terms of a Right of Accumulation, but are not “qualified shares” for satisfying the terms of a Letter of Intent. Purchases of Class R, Class Y or Class I shares of Oppenheimer funds, purchases under the “reinvestment privilege” described below, and purchases of Class A shares of Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund or Oppenheimer
22 Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund

Table of Contents
Government Cash Reserves on which a sales charge has not been paid do not count as “qualified shares” for Right of Accumulation or Letter of Intent purposes. The Fund reserves the right to modify or to cease offering these programs at any time.
Right of Accumulation. To qualify for the reduced Class A sales charge that would apply to a larger purchase than you are currently making, you can add the value of qualified shares that you and your spouse currently own, and other qualified share purchases that you are currently making, to the value of your Class A share purchase of the Fund. The value of the qualified shares you currently own is based on the greater of their current offering price or the amount you paid for the shares. For purposes of calculating that value, only the value of shares owned as of December 31, 2007 and any shares purchased subsequently will be taken into consideration. The value of any shares that you have redeemed will not be counted. In totaling your holdings, you may count shares held in:
your individual accounts (including IRAs, 403(b) plans and eligible college savings programs),
your joint accounts with your spouse,
accounts you or your spouse hold as trustees or custodians on behalf of children who are minors.
A fiduciary can apply a right of accumulation to all shares purchased for a trust, estate or other fiduciary account that has multiple accounts (including employee benefit plans for the same employer and Single K plans for the benefit of a sole proprietor).
You must provide information about your eligibility and holdings at the time of your purchase in order to qualify for the Right of Accumulation. If you are buying shares through a financial intermediary you must notify the intermediary of your eligibility for the Right of Accumulation at the time of your purchase.
To count shares held in accounts at other firms, you may be requested to provide a copy of account statements showing your current qualified share holdings. The values of the qualified share holdings you provided will be retained and the Right of Accumulation applied to future purchases, until any subsequent changes in those qualified share holdings are reported. Shares purchased under a Letter of Intent may also qualify as eligible holdings under a Right of Accumulation.
Letter of Intent. You may also qualify for reduced Class A sales charges by submitting a Letter of Intent to the Fund. A Letter of Intent is a written statement of your intention to purchase a specified value of qualified shares over a 13-month period. The total amount of your intended purchases in the same types of accounts identified above under “Right of Accumulation” will determine the reduced sales charge rate that will apply to your Class A share purchases during that period. You must notify your financial intermediary of any qualifying college savings program purchases or purchases through other financial intermediaries.
Submitting a Letter of Intent does not obligate you to purchase the specified amount of shares. If you do not complete the anticipated purchases, you will be charged the difference between the sales charge that you paid and the sales charge that would apply to the actual value of shares you purchased. Shares equal in value to 2% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose. Please refer to “How to Buy Shares – Letter of Intent” in the Statement of Additional Information for more complete information. You may also be able to apply the Right of Accumulation to purchases you make under a Letter of Intent.
Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Although there is no initial sales charge on Class A purchases of shares of one or more of the Oppenheimer funds totaling $1 million or more, those Class A shares may be subject to a 0.75% contingent deferred sales charge if they are redeemed within an 18-month “holding period” measured from the date of purchase (except as described below in “Sales Charge Waivers” and in the Appendix to this prospectus titled “Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers”). That sales charge will be calculated on the lesser of the original net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of purchase or the aggregate net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption. The Class A contingent deferred sales charge does not apply to shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions.
The Distributor pays concessions from its own resources equal to 0.50% of Class A purchases of $1 million or more (other than purchases by certain group omnibus retirement plans) plus advances the service fee for those purchases. The concession will not be paid on shares purchased by exchange or shares that were previously subject to a front-end sales charge and concession.
About Class C Shares. Class C shares are sold at net asset value per share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class C shares are redeemed within a 12 month “holding period” measured from the date of purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% may be deducted from the redemption proceeds. Class C shares are also subject to an asset-based sales charge that is calculated daily based on an annual rate of 0.75%. The Class C contingent deferred sales charge and asset-based sales charge are paid to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class C shares.
About Class R Shares. Class R shares are offered only to retirement plans and accounts. Class R shares are sold at net asset value per share without an initial sales charge. Class R shares are subject to an asset-based sales charge that is calculated daily based on an annual rate of 0.25%. See “Distribution and Service (12b-1) Plans” in this prospectus for more information. See “Class R Share Availability” in the Statement of Additional Information for eligibility requirements.

About Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are not available directly to individual investors, except for eligible employees (defined below). Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share without an initial sales charge, and are available only to:
Wrap fee-based programs and fee-based clients of a broker, dealer, registered investment advisor or other financial intermediary;
Commissionable brokerage platforms where the financial intermediary, acting as broker on behalf of its customer, charges the customer a transaction-based commission outside of the Fund;
“Institutional investors” which may include corporations; trust companies; endowments and foundations; defined contribution, defined benefit, and other employer sponsored retirement and deferred compensation plans; retirement plan platforms; insurance companies; registered investment advisor firms; registered investment companies; bank trusts; college savings programs; and family offices; and
Eligible employees, which are present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their eligible family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, its parent company and the subsidiaries of its parent company, and retirement plans established for the benefit of such individuals.
An institutional investor or financial intermediary that buys Class Y shares for its customers’ accounts may impose charges on those accounts that are not described in this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information. The procedures for buying, selling, exchanging and transferring the Fund’s other classes of shares (other than the time those orders must be received by the Distributor or Transfer Agent at their Colorado office) and some of the special account features available to investors buying other classes of shares do not apply to Class Y shares. Instructions for buying, selling, exchanging or transferring Class Y shares must be submitted by the institutional investor, not by its customers for whose benefit the shares are held.
Individual shareholders who hold Class Y shares through retirement plans or financial intermediaries will not be eligible to hold Class Y shares outside of their respective retirement plan or financial intermediary platform.
About Class I Shares. Class I shares are sold at net asset value per share without a sales charge and are only available to eligible institutional investors. To be eligible to purchase Class I shares, an investor must:
be an “institutional investor” which may include corporations; trust companies; endowments and foundations; defined contribution, defined benefit, and other employer sponsored retirement plans and deferred compensation plans; service provider platforms; insurance companies; registered investment advisor firms; registered investment companies; bank trusts; college savings programs; and family offices;
make a minimum initial investment of $1 million or more per account (waived for service provider platforms); and
trade through an omnibus, trust, trust networked or similar pooled account.
Class I shares are not available directly to individual investors. Individual shareholders who purchase Class I shares through a financial intermediary or service provider platform will not be eligible to hold Class I shares outside of their respective financial intermediary or service provider platform.
The minimum account balance for Class I shares is $250,000. If a Class I account balance falls below $250,000, the account may be redeemed or converted into a Class Y share account. This minimum balance policy does not apply to Class I share accounts for which the minimum initial investment is waived.
An institutional investor that buys Class I shares for its customers’ accounts may impose charges on those accounts that are not described in this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information. Most of the special account features available to investors buying, selling, exchanging and transferring the Fund’s other share classes do not apply to Class I shares.
The Fund, at its discretion, reserves the right to waive the minimum initial investment and minimum balance requirements for investment companies advised or sub-advised by the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager, and for certain investors otherwise eligible that provide investment products that reference Class I shares of the Fund as the underlying security.
No operational and recordkeeping, networking, sub-accounting, administrative or similar types of fees, 12b-1 fees, commission payments, or so called “finder’s fees” will be paid with respect to Class I shares.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. If you redeem shares during their applicable contingent deferred sales charge holding period, the contingent deferred sales charge generally will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. In some circumstances you may be eligible for one of the waivers described in “Sales Charge Waivers” below and in the “Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers” appendix to this prospectus. You must advise the Transfer Agent or your financial intermediary of your eligibility for a waiver when you place your redemption request.
A contingent deferred sales charge will be based on the net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption or the original net asset value, whichever is lower. A contingent deferred sales charge is not imposed on:
any increase in net asset value over the initial purchase price,
shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions, or
shares eligible for a sales charge waiver (see “Sales Charge Waivers” below).

Table of Contents
The Fund redeems shares in the following order:
shares acquired by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions,
other shares that are not subject to the contingent deferred sales charge, and
shares held the longest during the holding period.
You are not charged a contingent deferred sales charge when you exchange shares of the Fund for shares of other Oppenheimer funds. However, if you exchange your shares within the applicable holding period, your original holding period will carry over to the shares you acquire, even if the new fund has a different holding period. The contingent deferred sales charge applicable to the share class of the Oppenheimer fund you exchange into will apply to the acquired shares.
Sales Charge Waivers. The Fund and the Distributor offer the following opportunities to purchase shares without front-end or contingent deferred sales charges. Additional waivers and discounts, other than those listed immediately below, may be offered to clients of certain financial intermediaries. Such intermediary-specific waivers and discounts are described in the appendix to the prospectus titled “Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers.”
Class A Sales Charge Waivers
Class A shares purchased in certain circumstances described below are not subject to Class A sales charges (and no concessions are paid by the Distributor on such purchases):
Dividend Reinvestment. Dividends or capital gains distributions may be reinvested in shares of the Fund, or any of the other Oppenheimer funds into which shares of the Fund may be exchanged, without a sales charge.
Exchanges by a financial intermediary of Class Y shares for Class A shares of the same Fund in connection with a change in account type or otherwise in accordance with the intermediary’s policies and procedures that renders a shareholder ineligible for Class Y shares. The availability of this sales charge waiver depends on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the intermediary.
Exchanges of Shares. There is no sales charge on exchanges of shares except for Class A shares of Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund or Oppenheimer Government Cash Reserves on which you have not paid a sales charge.
Reinvestment Privilege. There is no sales charge on reinvesting the proceeds from redemptions of Class A shares that occurred within the previous three months if you paid an initial or contingent deferred sales charge on the redeemed shares. This reinvestment privilege does not apply to reinvestment purchases made through automatic investment options.
Shares issued in plans of reorganization, such as mergers, asset acquisitions and exchange offers, to which the Fund is a party.
Purchases made with the reinvestment of loan repayments by a participant in a retirement plan if the participant previously paid a sales charge on those shares.
Purchases made in amounts of less than $5 for accounts held directly with the Transfer Agent.
Purchases by the Manager or its affiliates.
Purchases by present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their “immediate families”) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, and retirement plans established by the Manager or its affiliates for their employees. 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, a spouse’s siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews; relatives by virtue of a remarriage (step-children, step-parents, etc.) are included.
Purchases by current employees and registered representatives (and their spouses) of any financial intermediaries if permitted by the intermediary’s policies. 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).

A description of available sales charge waivers and arrangements is available for viewing on the OppenheimerFunds website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com and may also be ordered by calling 1.800.225.5677. You must advise the Distributor, the Transfer Agent or your financial intermediary that you qualify for one of those waivers at the time you submit your purchase order or redemption request.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a service plan for Class A shares that reimburses the Distributor for a portion of the costs of maintaining accounts and providing services to Class A shareholders. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Class A shares daily net assets. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay brokers, dealers, banks and other financial intermediaries for providing personal service and maintaining the accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. For Class A purchases with no front-end sales charge imposed due to the qualifying breakpoint, the Distributor normally pays intermediaries the service fee in advance for the first year after shares are purchased and then pays that fee periodically. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Because the service fee is paid out of the Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time it will increase the cost of your investment.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class C and Class R Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class C and Class R shares to pay the Distributor for distributing those share classes, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. Under the plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an asset-based sales charge for Class C shares calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of the daily net assets of that class and for Class R shares calculated at 0.25% of the daily net assets of that class. The Fund also pays a service fee under the plans at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Class C and Class R shares. Altogether, these fees increase the Class C shares annual expenses by 1.00% and increase the Class R shares annual expenses by 0.50%, calculated on the daily net assets of the applicable class. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.
Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor uses the service fees to compensate brokers, dealers, banks and other financial intermediaries for maintaining accounts and providing personal services to Class C or Class R shareholders in the applicable share class. The Distributor normally pays intermediaries the 0.25% service fee in advance for the first year after shares are purchased and then pays that fee periodically.
Class C Shares: At the time of a Class C share purchase, the Distributor generally pays financial intermediaries a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase price from its own resources. Therefore, the total amount, including the advance of the service fee that the Distributor pays the intermediary at the time of a Class C share purchase is 1.00% of the purchase price. The Distributor normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class C share purchases during the first year and then pays that fee to the intermediary as an ongoing concession. For Class C share purchases in certain omnibus group retirement plans, the Distributor pays the intermediary the asset-based sales charge during the first year instead of paying a sales concession at the time of purchase. The Distributor pays the service fees it receives on those shares to the intermediary for providing shareholder services to those accounts. See the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions to these arrangements.
Class R Shares: For all new purchases of Class R shares, the Distributor pays intermediaries a 0.25% service fee and a 0.25% asset based sales charge on an ongoing basis.
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund 27

Table of Contents
For certain Class R shares of Oppenheimer funds purchased prior to July 1, 2014, the Distributor paid financial intermediaries 1.00% of the purchase price at the time of sale. For those shares, the Distributor retained the service fee for the first year, paying intermediates the service fee thereafter, and retains the asset-based sales charge on Class R shares on an ongoing basis.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries and Service Providers. The Sub-Adviser and/or the Distributor, Transfer Agent and/or Sub-Transfer Agent, at their discretion, may also make payments to broker-dealers, other financial intermediaries or to service providers for some or all of the following services: distribution, promotional and marketing support, operational and recordkeeping, sub-accounting, networking and administrative services.
The types of financial intermediaries that may receive compensation for providing such services include, but are not limited to, broker-dealers, financial advisors, registered investment advisers, sponsors of fund “supermarkets,” sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee-based programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies, retirement plan or qualified tuition program administrators, third party administrators, financial intermediaries that offer products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.
Payments for distribution or promotional and marketing support are made out of the Sub-Adviser’s and/or the Distributor’s own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Sub-Adviser receives from the Manager for sub-advisory services on behalf of the Fund. Such payments, which may be substantial, are paid to financial intermediaries who perform services for the Sub-Adviser, and/or the Distributor, and are in addition to payments made pursuant to an applicable 12b-1 plan. Such payments are separate from any commissions the Distributor pays to financial intermediaries out of the sales charges paid by investors.
Payments for distribution-related expenses and asset retention items, paid by the Sub-Adviser or the Distributor, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as “revenue sharing.” Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that financial intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that financial intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give a financial intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor’s marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the financial intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the financial intermediary’s sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Sub-Adviser or Distributor may reimburse expenses, including, but not limited to, educational seminars and “due diligence” or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)) designed to increase sales representatives’ awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Sub-Adviser or Distributor does not consider a financial intermediary’s sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.
Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the financial intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the financial intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the financial intermediary, the willingness of the financial intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the financial intermediary’s sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the financial intermediary’s sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the financial intermediary. The Sub-Adviser and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Sub-Adviser or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Sub-Adviser and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.
Payments may be made by the Transfer Agent or Sub-Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for services provided, such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, operational and recordkeeping and other administrative services. These payments are made out of the Transfer Agent’s or Sub-Transfer Agent’s own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the transfer agency fees the Transfer Agent receives from the Fund. Financial intermediaries that may receive these fees for providing services may include, but are not limited to, retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, broker-dealers, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products, and other financial intermediaries. These fees may be used by the financial intermediary to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans.
Payments made by the Sub-Adviser, and/or the Distributor, the Transfer Agent and Sub-Transfer Agent are not reflected in the tables in the “Fees and Expenses of the Fund” section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.
Financial intermediaries will not receive any operational and recordkeeping, networking, sub-accounting, administrative or similar types of fees, 12b-1 fees, commission payments, or so called “finder’s fees” for Class I shares.

The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing payments made by the Sub-Adviser and/or Distributor and operational and recordkeeping, networking and sub-accounting payments made by the Transfer Agent and/or Sub-Transfer Agent. Your broker-dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Sub-Adviser, Distributor, Transfer Agent or Sub-Transfer Agent, or any other fees or expenses it charges.
How to Buy, Sell and Exchange Shares
Buying Shares. You can buy shares in several ways as described below. Your order must be received in proper form before the Valuation Time for you to receive that day’s offering price. If your order is received on a day other than a regular business day or after the Valuation Time, the order will receive the next offering price that is determined. To be in proper form, your purchase order must comply with the procedures described below. If you submit a purchase request without designating which Oppenheimer fund you wish to invest in or if the selected Oppenheimer fund or share class is no longer offered, your investments will be made into Class A shares of Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund. This does not apply to purchases by or for certain retirement plans or accounts. A purchase order for the Fund’s shares may be rejected for any reason.
Buying Shares Through a Financial Intermediary. You can buy shares through any financial intermediary that has a selling agreement in place with the Distributor. Your financial intermediary will place your order on your behalf and may charge a fee for that service. Your account information will be shared with the financial intermediary designated as the dealer of record for your account. When buying shares through a financial intermediary, you may not be eligible to purchase certain share classes offered by the Fund or benefit from certain policies and procedures described herein as your eligibility may be dependent upon the policies and procedures of such financial intermediary. In addition, financial intermediaries may have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of the sales charge reductions and waivers described herein and disclosed in the Appendix titled “Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers.”
Buying Shares Without Using a Financial Intermediary. We recommend that you discuss your investment with a financial advisor before you make a purchase to be sure that the Fund is appropriate for you. If you want to purchase shares without using a financial intermediary (without designating a broker-dealer as described below), complete an OppenheimerFunds new account application and mail it with a check payable in U.S. dollars to Oppenheimer funds at the address shown on the back cover of this prospectus. No share class other than Class A may be purchased by a new (non-institutional) investor without designating a broker-dealer.
If you do not designate a broker-dealer on your application or a current investor no longer has a broker-dealer of record for an existing account, the account will be held on behalf of the Fund(s) and, effective December 4, 2017, you will only be eligible to purchase Class A shares without a sales charge (and, for eligible institutional investors, Class Y or Class I shares). In the event a broker-dealer is thereafter designated by an investor, the Class A sales charge waiver privilege will be revoked for future purchases. For more information regarding undesignated investments, please call the number on the back cover of this prospectus.
Involuntary Redemptions. In some circumstances, involuntary redemptions may be made to repay any losses from the cancellation of share purchase orders.
Identification Requirements. Federal regulations may require the Fund to obtain your name, your date of birth (for a natural person), your residential street address or principal place of business, and your Social Security Number, Employer Identification Number or other government-issued identification when you open an account. Additional information may be required to open a corporate account or in certain other circumstances. The Fund or the Transfer Agent may use this information to verify your identity. The Fund may not be able to establish an account if the necessary information is not received. The Fund may also place limits on account transactions while it is in the process of verifying your identity. Additionally, if the Fund is unable to verify your identity after your account is established, the Fund may be required to redeem your shares and close your account.
Suspension of Share Offering. The offering of Fund shares may be suspended during any period in which the determination of net asset value is suspended, and may be suspended by the Board at any time the Board believes it is in the Fund’s best interest to do so.
Selling Shares. You can generally redeem (sell) some or all of your shares on any regular business day. You may redeem your shares by writing a letter, by wire, by telephone or on the Internet. You can also set up an Automatic Withdrawal Plan to redeem shares on a regular basis. The redemption of Fund shares may be suspended under certain circumstances described in “Payment Delays” below. If you have questions about any of these procedures, and especially if you are redeeming shares in a special situation, such as due to the death of the owner or from a retirement plan account, please call your financial intermediary or the Transfer Agent for assistance.
Redemption Price. Your shares will be redeemed at net asset value less any applicable sales charge or other fees. The net asset value used will be the next one calculated after your order is received, in proper form, by the Transfer Agent or your authorized financial intermediary. To be in proper form, your redemption order must comply with the procedures described below. The redemption price for shares will change from day-to-day because the value of the securities in the Fund’s portfolio and the Fund’s expenses fluctuate. The redemption price will normally differ for each class of shares. The redemption price of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund 29

Table of Contents
Redemptions “In-Kind.” Shares may be “redeemed in-kind” under certain circumstances (such as a lack of liquidity in the Fund’s portfolio to meet redemptions). That means that the redemption proceeds will be paid in securities from the Fund’s portfolio on a pro-rata basis. If the Fund redeems your shares in-kind, you may bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such securities are converted into cash. You may realize taxable capital gain when converting securities to cash.
Redemption or transfer requests will not be honored until the Transfer Agent receives all required documents in proper form. From time to time, the Transfer Agent, in its discretion, may waive certain of the requirements for redemptions stated in this prospectus.
Options for Receiving Redemption Proceeds
By Check. The Fund will normally send redemption proceeds by check to the address on your account statement.
By AccountLink. If you have linked your Fund account to your bank account with AccountLink (described below), you may have redemption proceeds transferred directly into your account. Normally the transfer to your bank is initiated on the bank business day after the redemption. You will not receive dividends on the proceeds of redeemed shares while they are waiting to be transferred.
By Wire. You can arrange to have redemption proceeds sent by Federal funds wire to an account at a bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve wire system. The redemption proceeds will normally be transmitted on the next bank business day after the shares are redeemed. You will not receive dividends on the proceeds of redeemed shares while they are waiting to be transmitted.
Payment Delays. Payment for redeemed shares is typically made within one business day after the Transfer Agent receives redemption instructions in proper form regardless of the payment method requested, but may be delayed for up to seven days as described below. For accounts registered in the name of a broker-dealer, payment will normally be forwarded to the broker-dealer within two business days. The Transfer Agent may delay processing redemption payments for recently purchased shares until the purchase payment has cleared. That delay may be as much as five business days from the date the shares were purchased. That delay may be avoided if you purchase shares by Federal funds wire or certified check. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment for more than seven days in the following unusual circumstances:
during any period in which the NYSE is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings or during any period in which trading on the NYSE is deemed to be restricted;
during any period in which an emergency exists, as a result of which (i) it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of securities owned by it or (ii) it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to fairly determine the value of its net assets; or
during such other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit to protect Fund shareholders.
The Securities and Exchange Commission will determine the conditions under which trading shall be deemed to be restricted and the conditions under which an emergency shall be deemed to exist.
The Fund typically expects to use cash on hand to meet redemption requests under normal market conditions. However, to meet redemption requests during stressed market conditions, the Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities to raise cash or redeem shares “in-kind” if there is a lack of liquidity in the Fund’s portfolio. Additionally, the Fund participates in a revolving credit facility intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions, in connection with atypical redemption activity.
The Oppenheimer Exchange Privilege. You can exchange all or part of your Fund shares for shares of the same class of other Oppenheimer funds that offer the exchange privilege, generally without the imposition of any sales charges. For example, you can exchange Class A shares of the Fund only for Class A shares of another fund. You can obtain a list of the Oppenheimer funds that are currently available for exchanges by calling a service representative at the telephone number on the back of this prospectus. The funds available for exchange can change from time to time. The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. You will receive 60 days’ notice of any material change in the exchange privilege unless applicable law allows otherwise.
Requirements for Exchanges of Shares. To exchange shares of the Fund, you must meet several conditions. The Fund may amend the following requirements at any time:
Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in your state of residence.
The selected fund and share class must offer the exchange privilege.
You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the relevant class of the selected fund.
Generally, exchanges may be made only between identically registered accounts, unless all account owners send written exchange instructions with a signature guarantee.
Before exchanging into a fund, you should obtain its prospectus and should read it carefully.
Timing of Exchange Transactions. Exchanged shares are normally redeemed from one fund and the proceeds are reinvested in the fund selected for exchange on the same regular business day on which the Transfer Agent or its agent (such as a financial intermediary holding the investor’s shares in an “omnibus” or “street name” account) receives an
30 Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund

Table of Contents
exchange request that conforms to these policies. The request must be received before the Valuation Time on that day in order to receive that day’s net asset value on the exchanged shares. For requests received after the Valuation Time the shares being exchanged will be valued at the next net asset value calculated after the request is received. The Transfer Agent may delay transmitting the proceeds from an exchange for up to five business days, if it determines, in its discretion, that an earlier transmittal of the redemption proceeds would be detrimental to either the fund from which shares are being exchanged or the fund into which the exchange is being made. The exchange proceeds will be invested in the new fund at the next net asset value calculated after the proceeds are received. In the event that a delay in the reinvestment of proceeds occurs, the Transfer Agent will notify you or your financial intermediary.
Taxes on Exchanges. For tax purposes, an exchange of shares of the Fund for shares of another Oppenheimer fund is considered a sale of those Fund shares and a purchase of the shares of the fund into which you are exchanging. Therefore, an exchange may result in a capital gain or loss for tax purposes.
Frequent Purchase and Exchange Limitations
The Board has adopted a policy to discourage and seek to limit or eliminate frequent purchases or exchanges of shares of the Fund by shareholders or authorized broker-dealer representatives of shareholders, in order to prevent the negative impacts, if any, that this activity may impose on other shareholders of the Fund. Negative impacts may include, without limitation, interference with portfolio management, increased taxes on portfolio securities, diminishment of Fund performance due to the need to sell portfolio securities at less favorable prices, increases in portfolio and administrative transaction costs resulting from large volumes of frequent purchase or exchange activity, and the possible dilution of Fund yields as a result of such activity. In addition, a Fund that invests in non-U.S. securities is subject to the risk that an investor may seek to take advantage of a delay between the change in value of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the determination of the Fund’s net asset value as a result of different closing times of U.S. and non-U.S. markets by buying or selling Fund shares at a price that does not reflect their true value. A similar risk exists for Funds that invest in securities of small capitalization companies, securities of issuers located in emerging markets or high yield securities (junk bonds) that are thinly traded and therefore may have actual values that differ from their market prices. This short-term arbitrage activity can reduce the return received by long-term shareholders. The Fund will seek to eliminate these opportunities by using fair value pricing, as described in “Fair Value Pricing” in this prospectus.
There is no guarantee that this policy will be sufficient to identify and prevent all frequent purchases or exchanges that may have negative impacts to a Fund. In addition, the implementation of the Fund’s policy involves judgments that are inherently subjective and involve some selectivity in their application. The Fund, however, seeks to make judgments that are consistent with the interests of the Fund’s shareholders. No matter how the Fund defines frequent purchases or exchanges, other purchases and sales of Fund shares may have adverse effects on the management of a Fund’s portfolio and its performance. Additionally, due to the complexity and subjectivity involved in identifying certain frequent trading and the volume of Fund shareholder transactions, there can be no guarantee that the Fund will be able to identify violations of the policy or to reduce or eliminate all detrimental effects of frequent purchases or exchanges.
The Fund may from time to time use other methods that it believes are appropriate to deter market timing or other trading activity that may be detrimental to a fund or long-term shareholders.
Right to Refuse Any Purchase and/or Exchange Orders. The Fund may refuse, or cancel as permitted by law, any purchase or exchange order in its discretion for any reason at any time, and is not obligated to provide notice before rejecting or canceling an order. If a shareholder has engaged in purchases and redemptions of shares that would have been prohibited had the activity been attempted as an exchange, that shareholder may be prohibited from purchasing new Fund shares unless the Fund determines that such activity is not frequent trading activity.
Right to Terminate or Suspend Account Privileges. The Fund may, in its discretion, limit or terminate trading activity by any person, group or account that it believes would be disruptive, even if the activity has not exceeded the policy described in this prospectus. As part of the Fund’s policy to detect and deter frequent purchases and exchanges, the Fund may review and consider the history of frequent trading activity in all accounts in the Oppenheimer funds known to be under common ownership or control. The Fund may send a written warning to a shareholder that it believes may be engaging in disruptive or excessive trading activity; however, the Fund reserves the right to suspend or terminate the ability to purchase or exchange shares, with or without warning, for any account that the Fund determines, in the exercise of its discretion, has engaged in such trading activity.
Omnibus Accounts. Underlying shareholder or account data, including individual transactions, in “omnibus” or “street name” accounts (“omnibus accounts”) in the name of a broker-dealer or other financial intermediaries are often not disclosed to a Fund, which may make it difficult for a Fund to monitor for frequent trading activity. Financial intermediaries holding omnibus accounts where underlying shareholder or account data is not disclosed to a Fund will, generally, enter into written agreements which require the financial intermediaries to provide such data at the Fund’s request. Overall purchase and redemption activity in omnibus accounts will be monitored to identify patterns which may suggest frequent trading by the underlying owners. Financial intermediaries will be required to apply the Fund’s policy in addition to their own frequent trading controls. For financial intermediaries, the Fund will request individual account or transaction information, and based on the information and data it receives, will apply its policy to review transactions that may constitute frequent purchase or exchange activity. The Fund may prohibit, in its sole discretion, purchases or exchanges of Fund shares by a financial intermediary or by some or all of its clients.

30-Day Exchange Limit. In addition to the discretionary ability to limit or reject any order to purchase or exchange shares of a Fund at any time, if a shareholder exchanges shares of another Oppenheimer fund account for shares of the Fund, his or her Fund account will be “blocked” from exchanges into any other fund for a period of 30 calendar days from the date of the exchange, subject to certain exceptions described below. Likewise, if a Fund shareholder exchanges Fund shares for shares of another eligible Oppenheimer fund, that fund account will be “blocked” from further exchanges for 30 calendar days, subject to the exception described below. The block will apply to the full account balance and not just to the amount exchanged into the account. For example, if a shareholder exchanged $2,000 from one fund into another fund in which the shareholder already owned shares worth $10,000, then, following the exchange and assuming no exception applied, the full account balance ($12,000 in this example) would be blocked from exchanges into another fund for a period of 30 calendar days.
Exceptions to 30-Day Exchange Limit
Exchanges Into Money Market Funds. A shareholder will be permitted to exchange shares of the Fund for shares of an eligible money market fund any time, even if the shareholder has exchanged shares into the Fund during the prior 30 days. Exchanges from that money market fund into another fund will be monitored for excessive activity and the Fund may limit or refuse any exchange order from a money market fund in its discretion pursuant to this policy.
Dividend Reinvestments and Share Conversions. The reinvestment of dividends or distributions from one fund to purchase shares of another fund and the conversion of shares from one share class to another class within the same fund will not be considered exchanges for purposes of imposing the 30-day limit.
Asset Allocation Programs. Investment programs by Oppenheimer “funds of funds” that entail rebalancing investments in underlying Oppenheimer funds will not be subject to these limits. However, third-party asset allocation and rebalancing programs will be subject to the 30-day limit described above. Asset allocation firms that want to exchange shares held in accounts on behalf of their customers must identify themselves and execute an acknowledgement and agreement to abide by these policies with respect to their customers’ accounts. “On-demand” exchanges outside the parameters of portfolio rebalancing programs will also be subject to the 30-day limit.
Automatic Exchange Plans. Accounts that receive exchange proceeds through automatic or systematic exchange plans that are established through the Transfer Agent will not be subject to the 30-day exchange limit as a result of those automatic or systematic exchanges but may be blocked from exchanges, under the 30-day limit, if they receive proceeds from other exchanges.
Redemptions of Shares. These exchange policy limits do not apply to redemptions of shares. Shareholders are permitted to redeem their shares on any regular business day, subject to the terms of this prospectus.
Other Limitations on Exchanges. There are a number of other special conditions and limitations that apply to certain types of exchanges. Those conditions and circumstances are described in the section “How to Exchange Shares” in the Statement of Additional Information. For information about sales charges that may apply to exchanges of shares see the sections “Contingent Deferred Sales Charge” and “Sales Charge Waivers” in this prospectus.
Submitting Share Transaction Requests. Share transactions may be requested by telephone or internet, in writing, through your financial intermediary, or by establishing one of the Investor Services plans described below. Certain transactions may also be submitted by fax. If an account has more than one owner, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may rely on instructions from any one owner or from the financial intermediary’s representative of record for the account, unless that authority has been revoked. Class Y and Class I share transactions may only be submitted in writing, by fax, by phone through a service representative, or through an investor’s designated financial intermediary.
Internet and Telephone Transaction Requests. Purchase, redemption and exchange requests may be submitted on the OppenheimerFunds website, www.oppenheimerfunds.com. Those requests may also be made by calling the telephone number on the back cover and either speaking to a service representative or accessing PhoneLink, the OppenheimerFunds automated telephone system that enables shareholders to perform certain account transactions automatically using a touch-tone phone.
You will need to obtain a user I.D. and password to execute transactions through PhoneLink or on the internet. Some internet and telephone transactions require the Oppenheimer AccountLink feature, described below, that links your Fund account with an account at a U.S. bank or other financial institution. The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning transactions.
The following policies apply to internet and telephone transactions:
Purchases through AccountLink that are submitted through PhoneLink or on the internet are limited to $100,000.
Purchases through AccountLink that are submitted by calling a service representative are limited to $250,000.
Redemptions that are submitted by telephone or on the internet and request the proceeds to be paid by check, are limited to $100,000, must be made payable to all owners of record of the shares and must be sent to the address on the account statement. This service is not available within 15 days of changing the address on an account.
Redemptions by telephone or on the internet that are sent to your bank account through AccountLink are limited to $100,000.
Exchanges submitted by telephone or on the internet may be made only between accounts that are registered with the same name(s) and address.

Shares held in an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored qualified retirement plan account may not be redeemed or exchanged by telephone or on the internet.
The Transfer Agent has adopted procedures to confirm that telephone and internet instructions are genuine. Callers are required to provide service representatives with tax identification numbers and other account data and PhoneLink and internet users are required to use PIN numbers. The Transfer Agent will also send you written confirmations of share transactions. The Transfer Agent and the Fund will not be liable for losses or expenses that occur from telephone or internet instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
The Transfer Agent maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that are reasonably designed to protect your personal account information. It is important that you do your part to keep your account information private and to prevent unauthorized transactions. If you obtain a user ID and password for your account, do not allow it to be used by anyone else. Also, take special precautions when accessing your account on a computer used by others. We advise you not to send personal or account information to us in non-secure emails. Instead, you are encouraged to take advantage of the secure features of our website to encrypt your email correspondence. The Transfer Agent, its affiliates, and the Fund are not responsible for any account losses incurred as a result of fraud if they have reason to believe that the person transacting business on an account is authorized to do so. By completing the terms of online registration to access an account through the OppenheimerFunds website, you waive any right to reclaim any losses from the Transfer Agent, its affiliates, or the Fund incurred through fraudulent activity.
Telephone or internet transaction privileges may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Fund at any time. The Fund will provide you notice of such changes whenever it is required to do so by applicable law.
Purchases and Redemptions by Federal Funds Wire. Shares may be paid for by Federal funds wire. Redemption proceeds may also be transmitted by wire and are limited to $100,000. The minimum wire purchase or redemption is $2,500. There is a $10 fee for each wire redemption request. Before sending a wire purchase, please call the number on the back cover of this prospectus to provide notification of the incoming wire and to receive further instructions. To set up wire redemptions on your account or to arrange for a wire redemption, please call the number on the back cover of this prospectus.
Written Transaction Requests. You can send purchase, exchange or redemption requests to the Transfer Agent at the address on the back cover. Your request must include:
The Fund’s name;
For existing accounts, the Fund account number (from your account statement);
For new accounts, a completed account application;
For purchases, a check payable to Oppenheimer funds;
For redemptions, any special payment instructions;
For redemptions or exchanges, the dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed or exchanged;
For individuals, the names and signatures of all registered owners exactly as they appear in the account registration;
For corporations, partnerships or other businesses or as a fiduciary, the name of the entity as it appears in the account registration and the names and titles of any individuals signing on its behalf; and
Other documents requested by the Transfer Agent to assure that the person purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares is properly identified and has proper authorization to carry out the transaction.
Certain Requests Require a Signature Guarantee. To protect you and the Fund from fraud, certain redemption requests must be in writing and must include a signature guarantee. A notary public seal will not be accepted for these requests (other situations might also require a signature guarantee):
You wish to redeem more than $100,000;
The redemption check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the account statement;
The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your account statement;
Shares are being transferred to a Fund account with a different owner or name; or
Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor) other than the owners.
Where Can You Have Your Signature Guaranteed? The Transfer Agent will accept a signature guarantee from a number of financial institutions, including:
a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,
a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,
a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities or government securities, or
a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities association or a clearing agency.
Fax Requests. You may send requests for certain types of account transactions to the Transfer Agent by fax. Please call the number on the back of this prospectus for information about which transactions may be handled this way. Transaction

Table of Contents
requests submitted by fax are subject to the same rules and restrictions as the written, telephone and internet requests described in this prospectus. However, requests that require a signature guarantee may not be submitted by fax.
Submitting Transaction Requests Through Your Financial Intermediary. You can submit purchase, redemption or exchange requests through any broker, dealer or other financial intermediary that has an agreement with the Distributor. The broker, dealer or other intermediary will place the order with the Distributor on your behalf. A broker or dealer may charge a processing fee for that service. If your shares are held in the name of your financial intermediary, you must redeem them through that intermediary.
Intermediaries that perform account transactions for their clients by participating in “Networking” through the National Securities Clearing Corporation are responsible for obtaining their clients’ permission to perform those transactions, and are responsible to their clients who are shareholders of the Fund if the intermediary performs any transaction erroneously or improperly.
Client Account Exchanges by Financial Intermediaries. The Fund and the Transfer Agent permit brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries to submit exchange requests on behalf of their customers, unless that authority has been revoked. The Fund or the Transfer Agent may limit or refuse exchange requests submitted by such financial intermediaries if, in the Transfer Agent’s judgment, exercised in its discretion, the exchanges would be disruptive to any of the funds involved in the transaction.
AccountLink. You can use our AccountLink feature to link your Fund account with an account at a U.S. bank or other financial institution that is an Automated Clearing House (ACH) member. AccountLink lets you:
transmit funds electronically to purchase shares by internet, by telephone or automatically through an Asset Builder Plan. The purchase payment will be debited from your bank account.
have the Transfer Agent send redemption proceeds or dividends and distributions directly to your bank account.
AccountLink privileges should be requested on your account application or on your broker-dealer’s settlement instructions if you buy your shares through a broker-dealer. For an established account, you can request AccountLink privileges by sending signature-guaranteed instructions and proper documentation to the Transfer Agent. AccountLink privileges will apply to each shareholder listed in the registration on the account as well as to the financial intermediary’s representative of record unless and until the Transfer Agent terminates or receives written instructions terminating or changing those privileges. After you establish AccountLink for your account, any change you make to your bank account information must be made by signature-guaranteed instructions to the Transfer Agent signed by all shareholders on the account. Please call the Transfer Agent for more information.
Asset Builder Plans. Under an Asset Builder Plan, you may purchase shares of the Fund automatically. An Asset Builder Plan is available only if you have established AccountLink with a bank or other financial institution. Payments to purchase Fund shares will be debited from your linked account.
To establish an Asset Builder Plan at the time you initially purchase Fund shares, complete the “Asset Builder Plan” information on the account application. To add an Asset Builder Plan to an existing account, use the Asset Builder Enrollment Form. You may change the amount of your Asset Builder payment or you can terminate your automatic investments at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent.
The Transfer Agent may require a reasonable period after receipt of your instructions to implement any requested changes. For more details, see the account application, the Asset Builder Enrollment Form and the Statement of Additional Information. Those documents are available by contacting the Distributor or may be downloaded from our website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering Asset Builder Plans at any time without prior notice.
Automatic Redemption and Exchange Plans. The Fund has several plans that enable you to redeem shares automatically or exchange them for shares of another Oppenheimer fund on a regular basis. Please call the Transfer Agent or consult the Statement of Additional Information for details.
Retirement Plans. The Distributor offers a number of different retirement plans that individuals and employers can use. The procedures for buying, selling, exchanging and transferring shares, and the account features applicable to share classes offered to individual retirement plans and other account types, generally do not apply to shares offered through a group omnibus retirement plan. Purchase, redemption, exchange and transfer requests for a group omnibus retirement plan must generally be submitted by the plan administrator, not by plan participants. However, the time that transaction requests must be received in order to purchase, redeem or exchange shares at the net asset value calculated on any business day is the same for all share classes and plan types. The types of retirement plans that the Distributor offers include:
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). These include traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs and rollover IRAs.
SIMPLE IRAs. These are Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees IRAs for small business owners or self-employed individuals.
SEP-IRAs. These are Simplified Employee Pension Plan IRAs for small business owners or self-employed individuals.
403(b)(7) Custodial Plans. These are tax-deferred plans for employees of eligible tax-exempt organizations, such as schools, hospitals and charitable organizations.
34 Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund

Table of Contents
“Single K” Plans. These are 401(k) plans for self-employed individuals.
Qualified Plans. These plans are designed for businesses and self-employed individuals.
Class I shares are only available to plans that make an initial investment of $1 million or more (per account) or to retirement plan service provider platforms.
Less Paper, Less Waste. To avoid sending duplicate copies of Fund materials to households, the Fund will mail only one copy of each prospectus, annual and semi-annual report and annual notice of the Fund’s privacy policy to shareholders having the same last name and address on the Fund’s records. The consolidation of these mailings, called “householding,” benefits the Fund through lower printing costs and reduced mailing expense.
If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call the Transfer Agent at the number on the back of this prospectus or you may notify the Transfer Agent in writing. Multiple copies of prospectuses, reports and privacy notices will be sent to you commencing within 30 days after the Transfer Agent receives your request to stop householding.
You may also choose to receive your account documents electronically via eDocs Direct. In order to sign up for eDocs Direct, you need to register for online access to your account(s) through the website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com, or call 1.888.470.0862 for information and instructions. Once registered, you can select your preferences for electronic document delivery of account documents.
Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare dividends from its net investment income on each regular business day and to pay them monthly. Daily dividends will not be declared on newly-purchased shares until Federal funds from the purchase payment are available to the Fund. The Fund may also realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.
Dividends and distributions are paid separately for each share class. The dividend distributions paid on Class A, Class Y and Class I shares will generally be higher than those on Class C and Class R shares, since the latter classes normally have higher expenses than Class A, Class Y and Class I shares.
Options for Receiving Dividends and Distributions. When you open your Fund account, you can specify on your application how you want to receive distributions of dividends and capital gains. To change that option, you must notify the Transfer Agent. There are four payment options available:
Reinvest All Distributions in the Fund. You can elect to reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions in additional shares of the Fund.
Reinvest Only Dividends or Capital Gains. You can elect to reinvest some types of distributions in the Fund while receiving the other types of distributions by check or having them sent to your bank account through AccountLink. Different treatment is available for distributions of dividends, short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains.
Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive all dividends and capital gains distributions by check or have them sent to your bank through AccountLink.
Reinvest Your Distributions in Another Oppenheimer Fund. You can reinvest all of your dividends and capital gains distributions in another Oppenheimer fund that is available for exchanges. You must have an existing account in the same share class in the selected fund.
Taxes. If your shares are not held in a tax-deferred retirement account, you should be aware of the following tax consequences of investing in the Fund. Fund distributions, whether taken in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund or another Oppenheimer fund, are subject to Federal income tax and may be subject to state or local taxes. Distributions paid from short-term capital gains and net investment income are taxable as ordinary income (except as discussed below) and distributions from net long-term capital gains are taxable at the lower rate applicable to long-term capital gains no matter how long you have held your shares.
In the case of individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers, certain dividends (including certain dividends from foreign corporations) may be taxable at the lower rate applicable to long-term capital gains. In the case of certain corporations, some dividends may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. To the extent the Fund’s distributions are paid from these types of dividends, and provided certain other Fund and shareholder level holding period requirements are satisfied, the Fund’s individual and non-corporate shareholders may be eligible to claim the reduced tax rate for the distributions and the Fund’s corporate shareholders may be eligible to claim the dividends-received deduction.
Subject to any future regulatory guidance to the contrary, any distribution of income attributable to qualified publicly traded partnership income or qualified real estate investment trust (“REIT”) dividends, as applicable, from the Fund’s investment in a qualified publicly traded partnership or REIT, as applicable, will not qualify for the deduction that would be available to a non-corporate shareholder were the shareholder to own such qualified publicly traded partnership or REIT, as applicable, directly.
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund 35

Table of Contents
A 3.8% Medicare contribution tax is imposed on the “net investment income” of individuals, estates and trusts to the extent their income exceeds certain threshold amounts. Net investment income generally includes for this purpose dividends paid by the Fund, including any capital gain dividends, and net capital gains recognized on the sale, redemption or exchange of shares of the Fund.
The Fund may be subject to foreign income taxes on income or gains from foreign securities. If at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year more than 50% of the Fund’s assets are invested in foreign securities, the Fund may make an election that would generally allow shareholders to take a credit or deduction for their share of such foreign taxes on their Federal income tax returns, subject to applicable limitations. If the Fund makes this election, shareholders must include in their income their share of the foreign taxes paid by the Fund.
After the end of each calendar year the Fund will send you and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) statements showing the amount of any taxable distributions you received in the previous year and will separately identify any portion of these distributions that qualify for taxation as long-term capital gains or for any other special tax treatment.
The Fund intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to Federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.
If you are neither a resident nor a citizen of the United States, or if you are a foreign entity, the ordinary income dividends paid to you (which include distributions of net short-term capital gains) generally will be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax, unless a lower rate applies under an income tax treaty. Certain distributions that are reported by the Fund as interest-related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends and paid to a foreign shareholder may be eligible for an exemption from U.S. withholding tax. To the extent the Fund’s distributions are derived from ordinary dividends, they will not be eligible for this exemption. In addition, under legislation known as “FATCA” (the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act), the Fund will be required to withhold 30% of the ordinary dividends it pays and, after December 31, 2018, the gross proceeds of share redemptions and certain capital gains it pays to certain foreign shareholders that fail to meet prescribed information reporting or certification requirements.
Backup Withholding. Unless an exception applies, the Fund may be required to withhold U.S. Federal income tax on distributions and redemption proceeds payable to you if you fail to provide the Fund with your correct social security number or taxpayer identification number or fail to make required certifications, or if you have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding. Any amounts withheld may be credited against your U.S. Federal income tax liability.
Avoid “Buying a Distribution.” If you buy shares of the Fund before it makes a distribution, the distribution will generally be taxable to you even though it may actually be a return of a portion of your investment. You should consider whether you should purchase shares on or just before the ex-dividend date.
Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions. Because the prices of the Fund’s shares fluctuate, you may have a capital gain or capital loss when you sell the shares or exchange them for shares of a different fund. The amount of such gain or loss is generally an amount equal to the difference between the price you paid for the shares and the amount received. Your ability to utilize capital losses may be subject to applicable limitations.
Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by the Fund may be considered a return of capital to shareholders, which is generally non-taxable. The Fund will notify you if this occurs. In such a case, you would need to reduce the cost basis of your shares for tax purposes, which could result in a higher taxable capital gain (or lower capital loss) on a subsequent sale or exchange of the shares. Any such distribution in excess of your cost basis in your shares will be treated as capital gain.
Cost Basis Reporting. The Fund is required to report to the IRS, and furnish to Fund shareholders, detailed “cost basis” and “holding period” information for Fund shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 (“covered shares”) that are redeemed on or after that date. These requirements do not apply to investments through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement plan. If you redeem covered shares during any year, the Fund will report the following information to the IRS and to you on Form 1099-B: (i) the cost basis of such shares, (ii) the gross proceeds you received on the redemption and (iii) the holding period for the redeemed shares.
The default method for calculating the cost basis of covered shares is based on the average cost of all Fund shares you purchased on or after January 1, 2012 and prior to a particular redemption. If you and your financial or tax advisor determine another calculation method may be more beneficial for your individual tax situation, you may be able to elect another IRS-accepted method via the OppenheimerFunds website, www.oppenheimerfunds.com, or by notifying the Fund’s Transfer Agent in writing.
You should contact your financial or tax advisor about the application of the cost basis reporting rules to you, particularly whether you should elect a cost basis calculation method or use the default average cost basis.
This information is only a summary of certain U.S. Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax advisor about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the applicable law that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

Appendix: Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers
Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers
In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A shares of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) that may apply to Class A or Class C shares of the Oppenheimer funds may be waived. The sales charge waivers and discounts discussed in the prospectus under “Sales Charge Waivers” are offered by the Fund and Distributor. However, the additional waivers and discounts set forth below may be offered to clients of specific financial intermediaries. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the shareholder’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase or redemption of any relationship or other facts qualifying the shareholder for sales charge waivers or discounts. The financial intermediary-specific waivers and discounts shown below are only available to clients of those financial intermediaries specifically named in this appendix. Clients of other intermediaries may be eligible for the discounts and waivers listed in the prospectus under “Sales Charge Waivers,” but are not entitled to the waivers and discounts included in this appendix. Please contact your financial intermediary for questions regarding your eligibility and for more information with respect to your financial intermediary’s sales charge waivers and discounts. The waivers below apply to the extent the Fund offers the particular share class identified below. These waivers and special arrangements may be amended or terminated at any time by a particular fund, the Distributor, OFI Global Asset Management, Inc., and/or OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (referred to in this Appendix as the “Manager”).
Clients of financial intermediaries with self-directed brokerage accounts must check with their financial intermediary to determine if they are eligible for a particular waiver or discount.
Financial intermediary-specific sales charge waivers and/or discounts are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. Please contact your financial intermediary for more information regarding the sales charge waivers and discounts available to you and to ensure that you understand the steps you must take to qualify for available waivers and discounts. Concessions are not paid by the Distributor unless otherwise noted below.
Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Merrill Lynch
Class A Sales Charge Waivers (Concessions paid by Distributor*)
Purchases of Class A shares by retirement plans that have any of the following record-keeping arrangements:
1. The record keeping is performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) on a daily valuation basis for the retirement plan. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more of its assets invested in (a) mutual funds, other than those advised or managed by certain Merrill Lynch investment advisers, as specified by Merrill Lynch (a “Specified Merrill Lynch Investment Adviser”), that are made available under a Service Agreement between Merrill Lynch and the mutual fund’s principal underwriter or distributor, and (b) funds advised or managed by a Specified Merrill Lynch Investment Adviser (the funds described in (a) and (b) are referred to as “Applicable Investments”).
2. The record keeping for the retirement plan is performed on a daily valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the plan must have $5 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.
3. The record keeping for a retirement plan is handled under a service agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan sponsor signs that agreement, the plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).
* However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts of $1 million or more (including any right of accumulation) by a retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more than one year.
