Fund Performance Discussion
The Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) returned -5.82% during the six-month reporting period ended February 29, 2016. Despite a volatile market environment, the Fund outperformed the MSCI ACWI ex USA SMID Net Index (the “Index”), which returned -6.00% over the same period. Over the longer-term, the Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) produced 1-, 5- and 10-year returns of -0.80%, 8.85% and 8.77% for the periods ended February 29, 2016, respectively. The Fund significantly outperformed the Index’s returns of -11.57%, 0.51% and 2.90%, over those same periods.
As a reminder, effective December 29, 2015, the Fund’s name changed from Oppenheimer International Small Company Fund to Oppenheimer International Small-Mid Company Fund and its benchmark changed from the MSCI All Country World Ex USA Small Cap Net Index to the MSCI ACWI ex US SMID Net Index. The new name and benchmark better reflect the Fund’s investment focus in small- and mid-cap companies outside of the U.S., and also enables the portfolio manager greater flexibility to invest in mid-cap stocks in addition to small-cap stocks. The Fund considers small- and mid-cap companies to be those having a market capitalization in the range of the MSCI ACWI ex USA SMID Net Index. The increased ability to invest in the mid-cap universe opens up new possibilities, but it does preclude us from investing meaningfully in micro-cap stocks. The portfolio will have the potential to lag in environments where micro-cap stocks are posting strong performance.
While the investment universe and benchmark has changed, our investment approach has remained the same. We look for companies with meaningful competitive advantages such as technological leadership, intellectual property, strong brands, or industries favoring natural monopolies, along with companies with favorable positions in their industry value chains. In short, we look for companies that have barriers to entry and structural growth. We typically look to avoid unfavorable regulatory environments, commodities and highly cyclical areas of the market.
Sector and country exposures are residuals of our stock selection process. As a result, the Fund tends to be concentrated in sectors where there is more differentiation and more organic growth potential. We also find potential in these sectors for business models that can move from small enterprises into larger ones. The Fund’s largest overweights are in health care and information technology, while the largest underweights are in financials, materials and industrials. The Fund

currently has no exposure to utilities, energy and telecommunication services.
MARKET OVERVIEW
The six-month reporting period ended February 29, 2016, was a tumultuous time for global equity markets. The closing months of 2015 were marked by uncertainty before the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raised interest rates in mid-December. In addition, plummeting energy prices, decelerating emerging market growth and sluggish developed market growth, created an environment where investor sentiment swung back and forth like a pendulum. Market volatility picked up significantly to begin 2016. The declines were largely the result of concerns surrounding growth in China and the continued drop in oil prices. Macro factors such as these create risk on/risk off market environments, which have tended to obscure fundamentals and increase market volatility.
FUND REVIEW
The Fund’s overweight position in health care, stocks in consumer staples and the Fund’s underweight in energy contributed to performance. The largest detractors to performance were holdings in the consumer discretionary, materials and information technology sectors.
Top contributors to performance this reporting period included Treasury Wine Estates Limited, Ariake Japan Co., Ltd. and GMO Payment Gateway, Inc.
Treasury Wine Estates is an Australian-based wine company that owns a number of luxury wine brands, and is also involved in the mass-market wine business. Shares of Treasury Wine Estates performed positively as the company’s new management team has been rationalizing its portfolio of vineyards and manufacturing assets, and optimizing the value of its vintage wine inventory. The company has also expanded sales, particularly in Asia. Ariake Japan is a producer of food, primarily meat flavorings. The company has been a market leader in Japan, and is showing success of its expansion into Europe and the United States. The business has strong operating leverage, and we believe that its sales footprint suggests that its profitability outlook is positive. GMO Payment is a leading online payment processing company in Japan that has benefited from rapid growth in e-commerce and online payments.
Detractors from performance this reporting period included Ocado Group PLC, DBV Technologies SA and Bank of Ireland.
Ocado Group plc has been a top holding in the Fund for some time. While the share price can be volatile on a quarterly basis due to short-term news flow, our rationale for holding it has not changed. Ocado is an online grocery retailer in the United Kingdom that is evolving from just food retail into non-food. It is also leveraging its expertise in technology and logistics by licensing that technology to other food retailers globally, allowing them to provide online retail services. These structural growth opportunities
|
4 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL SMALL-MID COMPANY FUND |
have allowed Ocado to generate solid growth despite a challenging industry backdrop. DBV Technologies is a French biotechnology company with a focus on developing drugs for the treatment of allergies. Food allergies are on the rise and one critical area that does not have an effective treatment is peanut allergies in children. DBV has developed a treatment that is delivered through a patch, which reached a Phase III trial in December 2015. Despite the long-term potential of this company, DBV experienced declines due to volatility in the biotechnology industry during the reporting period. The Bank of Ireland experienced declines in what was a tumultuous period for European banks in general. European banks have been negatively impacted by the low-interest rate environment. We still believe in the long-term opportunity with this company as Ireland is currently the fastest growing economy in
Europe. We believe Bank of Ireland can thrive due to its strong competitive position in the Irish market, and the overall strength of the Irish economy.
STRATEGY & OUTLOOK
As previously mentioned, we are excited about the new opportunity set of companies that we have the opportunity to invest in, and our investment approach remains unchanged. We will continue to look to look for future leaders in the early stages of their growth with the potential for multi-year gains. It is important to note that we have a long-term investment horizon and are willing to wait for our ideas to play out. We view entry price as a key component of future returns. Therefore, we embrace volatility and seek to take advantage of attractive prices during times of adversity.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800. CALL OPP (225.5677). Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and the applicable sales charge: for Class A shares, the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%; for Class B shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year); and for Class C shares, the contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1% for the 1-year period. Prior to 7/1/14, Class R shares were named Class N shares. Beginning 7/1/14, new purchases of Class R shares will no longer be subject to a CDSC upon redemption (any CDSC will remain in effect for purchases prior to 7/1/14). There is no sales charge for Class I and Class Y shares. Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-year return for Class B shares uses Class A performance for the period after conversion. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the MSCI ACWI ex USA SMID Net Index and the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Net Index.

to measure the equity market performance of small capitalization developed and emerging markets, excluding the United States. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund.

Fund Expenses
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and/or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended February 29, 2016.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended February 29, 2016” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended February 29, 2016 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios | |
Class A | | | 1.16% | |

Class C | | | 1.91 | |
Class I | | | 0.72 | |
Class R | | | 1.41 | |
Class Y | | | 0.91 | |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 29, 2016 Unaudited
1. Organization
Oppenheimer International Small-Mid Company Fund (the “Fund”), formerly known as Oppenheimer International Small Company Fund, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class Y shares, and previously offered Class B shares for new purchase through June 29, 2012. Subsequent to that date, no new purchases of Class B shares are permitted, however reinvestment of dividend and/or capital gain distributions and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds are allowed. As of July 1, 2014, Class N shares were renamed Class R shares. Class N shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) on July 1, 2014, continue to be subject to a CDSC after the shares were renamed. Purchases of Class R shares occurring on or after July 1, 2014, are not subject to a CDSC upon redemption. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class C and Class R shares are sold, and Class B shares were sold, without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class R shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class R shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class I and Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors or intermediaries without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the intermediaries may impose charges on their accountholders who beneficially own Class I and Class Y shares.
All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and R shares have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class I and Class Y shares do not pay such fees. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Reporting Period End Date. The last day of the Fund’s reporting period is the last day the New York Stock Exchange was open for trading during the period. The Fund’s financial statements have been presented through that date to maintain consistency with the Fund’s net asset value calculations used for shareholder transactions.
|
33 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL SMALL-MID COMPANY FUND |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

34 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL SMALL-MID COMPANY FUND |
2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Return of Capital Estimates. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in Real Estate Investments Trusts (REITs), generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold (except for the investments in the Subsidiary) are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former Trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015, the Fund utilized $107,631,796 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. Details of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

2019 | | | 7,946,140 | |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | 147,025,327 | |
| | | | |
At period end, it is estimated that the capital loss carryforwards would be $125,526,392 expiring by 2019. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will utilize $21,498,935 of capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Federal tax cost of securities | | $ | 5,412,536,317 | |
Federal tax cost of other investments | | | 585,239 | |

Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (641,322,437) | |
| | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 362,576,323 | |
| | | | |
Certain foreign countries impose a tax on capital gains which is accrued by the Fund based on unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. The tax is paid when the gain is realized.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Securities Valuation
The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock
|
36 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL SMALL-MID COMPANY FUND |
3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.
The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.
Valuation Methods and Inputs
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.
The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price on the principal exchange or, if not available from the principal exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority): (1) a bid from the principal exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority): (1) a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage
|
37 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL SMALL-MID COMPANY FUND |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.
Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.
A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.
To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third

party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.
Classifications
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).
The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at period end based on valuation input level:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Level 1— Unadjusted Quoted Prices | | | Level 2— Other Significant Observable Inputs | | | Level 3— Significant Unobservable Inputs | | | Value | |

4. Investments and Risks
Risks of Foreign Investing. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which 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

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)
or other days when the Fund does not price its 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 limited or no regulatory oversight.
Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/ or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in the Affiliated Funds.
Each of the Affiliated Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in a money market Affiliated Fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity or for defensive purposes. IMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.
5. Market Risk Factors
The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the fund to various market risk factors:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of debt to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield debt securities are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality securities.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.69% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.
Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.
Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.
Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.
Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s Independent Trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each Trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active Independent Trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan. During the reporting period, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired Trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:

|
44 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL SMALL-MID COMPANY FUND |
8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)
Independent Trustees that enables Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of Trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.
Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor’s Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund’s classes of shares.
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the “Plan”) for Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class R Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class B, Class C and Class R shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act to compensate the Distributor for distributing those share classes, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares’ daily net assets and 0.25% on Class R shares’ daily net assets. The Fund also pays a service fee under the Plans at an annual rate of 0.25% of daily net assets. The Plans continue in effect from year to year only if the Fund’s Board of Trustees votes annually to approve their continuance at an in person meeting called for that purpose. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and CDSC do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on the

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $457,722 for IMMF management fees.
Waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified or terminated as set forth according to the terms in the prospectus.
9. Borrowings and Other Financing
Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.28 billion revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity. Expenses and fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund did not utilize the Facility during the reporting period.
10. Pending Litigation
In 2009, several putative class action lawsuits were filed and later consolidated before the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (“OFDI”), and Oppenheimer Rochester California Municipal Fund, a fund advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “California Fund”), in connection with the California Fund’s investment performance. The plaintiffs asserted claims against OFI, OFDI and certain present and former trustees and officers of the California Fund under the federal securities laws, alleging, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the California Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions and the investment policies of the California Fund were not followed. Plaintiffs in the suit filed an amended complaint and defendants filed a motion to dismiss. In 2011, the court issued an order which granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss. In 2012, plaintiffs filed a motion, which defendants opposed, to certify a class and appoint class representatives and class counsel. In March 2015, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. In May 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacated the class certification order and remanded the matter to the district court for further proceedings. In October 2015, the district court reaffirmed its order and determined that the suit will proceed as a class action. In December 2015, the Tenth Circuit
|
46 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL SMALL-MID COMPANY FUND |
10. Pending Litigation (Continued)
denied defendants’ petition to appeal the district court’s reaffirmed class certification order.
OFI and OFDI believe the suit is without merit; that it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to them in the suit; and that no estimate can yet be made as to the amount or range of any potential loss. Furthermore, OFI believes that the suit should not impair the ability of OFI or OFDI to perform their respective duties to the Fund and that the outcome of the suit should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer funds.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY
AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to approve the terms of the Agreements and the renewal thereof. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Adviser, Sub-Adviser and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the comparative investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative fee and expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Managers’ duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio manager and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; and securities trading services. OFI Global is responsible for oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; risk management; and oversight of the Sub-Adviser. OFI Global is also responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. OFI Global also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Managers’ advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Rezo Kanovich, the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which the Board members have become knowledgeable about through their experiences with the Managers and in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreements.
Investment Performance of the Managers and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Managers provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Managers and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant benchmarks or market indices and to the performance of other retail funds in the foreign small/mid growth category. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year performance was better than its category median.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Adviser and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Adviser. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other retail front-end load foreign small/mid growth funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees and total expenses were lower than its peer group median and category median.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the Managers’ costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser and sub-adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers’ profitability from their relationship with the Fund. The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Managers may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.

AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates and research provided to the Adviser in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements).
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through September 30, 2016. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents
This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the fund’s prospectus (or, if available, the fund’s summary prospectus), annual and semiannual report and privacy policy. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits your fund through reduced mailing expense, and benefits you by reducing the volume of mail you receive from OppenheimerFunds. Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.
Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800. CALL-OPP (225-5677). You may also notify us in writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus (or, if available, the summary prospectus), reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your request to stop householding.

For any distribution that took place over the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change.

Internet Security and Encryption
In general, the email services provided by our website are encrypted and provide a secure and private means of communication with us. To protect your own privacy, confidential and/or personal information should only be communicated via email when you are advised that you are using a secure website. As a security measure, we do not include personal or account information in non-secure emails, and we advise you not to send such information to us in non-secure emails. Instead, you may take advantage of the secure features of our website to encrypt your email correspondence. To do this, you will need to use a browser that supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
We do not guarantee or warrant that any part of our website, including files available for download, are free of viruses or other harmful code. It is your responsibility to take appropriate precautions, such as use of an anti-virus software package, to protect your computer hardware and software.
● | | All transactions, including redemptions, exchanges and purchases, are secured by SSL and 256-bit encryption. SSL is used to establish a secure connection between your PC and OppenheimerFunds’ server. It transmits information in an encrypted and scrambled format. |
● | | Encryption is achieved through an electronic scrambling technology that uses a “key” to code and then decode the data. Encryption acts like the cable converter box you may have on your television set. It scrambles data with a secret code so that no one can make sense of it while it is being transmitted. When the data reaches its destination, the same software unscrambles the data. |
