Fund Performance Discussion
The Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) produced a return of -7.34% during the reporting period. On a relative basis, the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified returned -2.81% and the JPMorgan Government Bond Index—Emerging Markets Global Diversified (Unhedged) returned -5.49%.
MARKET OVERVIEW
The reporting period began at a volatile time, as comments from Federal Reserve (“Fed”) Chairman Ben Bernanke at a Congressional hearing in late May surprised the market when he indicated that tapering of the Fed’s asset purchase program might begin if the economy continued to show improvement. Fears about a possible slowdown in the world’s emerging economies were exacerbated by the prospect of quantitative easing, which has been a steady source of liquidity, coming to an end. As a result, risk assets sold off across the board, with emerging market debt absorbing the brunt of the selling, although investment grade credit was certainly not immune. Simultaneously, the intermediate and long-end of the U.S. Treasury curve steepened quite dramatically as investors began to price in the likelihood of higher interest rates in the future.
The final quarter of the reporting period marked a transition from expectations of tapering “very soon” to “tapering sometime later”, and this presented varying outcomes for fixed-rate, duration-sensitive debt markets. U.S ten-year Treasury yields, which
had risen to about 3.00%, moved closer to 2.60% as the prospects for Fed tapering abated when the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided to maintain its quantitative easing measures in September. A combination of Fed jaw-boning and the ascent of dovish Janet Yellen as successor to Ben Bernanke were among the factors leading to lower U.S. yields. However, while emerging market debt did improve from its earlier tail-spin over the second half of the period, it continued to lag developed market debt.
FUND REVIEW
Emerging market debt as an asset class had a rough time after the initial rate rise in U. S. Treasuries. While emerging market countries linked to a modestly improving European economy fared better, those in Latin America and Asia that harbor high current account deficits, slackening economies, or that face political unrest, continued to swoon but at a more gradual rate than previously. Many of the nations that appeared to benefit from the Fed’s extraordinarily accommodative stance performed poorly when tapering fears
3 OPPENHEIMER EMERGING MARKETS DEBT FUND
peaked, and then rebounded somewhat in terms of the prices of their debt and currencies as tapering talk abated. Nevertheless, valuations in many cases now seem cheap, broadly speaking.
In this difficult environment for emerging market debt, most areas of the Fund experienced negative returns, with local-currency denominated bonds detracting the most from performance on an absolute basis. This was partially due to volatility in foreign currencies which, combined with emerging market yield volatility, was doubly negative for Fund performance. However, while emerging market volatility may persist in the near term as the market absorbs faster U.S. economic growth and near-term tapering, we believe yields and currencies have cheapened substantially and provide much more cushion for the long term. Emerging market corporate debt fared best for the Fund. Our asset allocation into corporates was a positive contributor, along with security selection in this asset class. Thus, our decision to avoid high grade emerging market sovereign debt for the first half of the year helped the Fund. The duration component of corporate debt created a slight negative return on an absolute return basis.
In terms of our local currency investments, our limited holdings in Indonesia, South Africa and Turkey were positive contributors on a relative basis, while our Brazil holdings detracted. Although we substantially reduced
the Fund’s holdings of Brazilian debt denominated in local currency over the reporting period, our overweight exposure to Brazilian interest rates detracted when local economic and fiscal concerns intensified. In terms of external debt, our exposure to Venezuela was the main driver of negative performance. Although local-denominated debt in Mexico detracted from absolute performance due to the rise in Mexican yields, which matched the U.S. yield curve move, our position in Mexican corporate bonds and U.S.-dollar denominated bonds performed positively. Other positive performers on an absolute basis included small positions in local-currency denominated bonds of Poland and South Korea.
STRATEGY & OUTLOOK
On February 4, 2014, the Fund will change its name to Oppenheimer Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund. Consistent with this change, the Fund’s investment strategy will be modified to reflect that the Fund will invest, under normal market conditions, determined by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Sub-Adviser) in its discretion, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities that are economically tied to emerging market countries and denominated in local (non-U.S.) currency. The new name reflects a single, purer strategy approach focused primarily on local currency denominated bonds. We believe a greater focus on local currencies will provide investors with a dedicated vehicle for
4 OPPENHEIMER EMERGING MARKETS DEBT FUND
accessing the higher-yielding local markets in the developing world. Additionally, emerging markets have been increasingly issuing more sovereign and corporate debt denominated in local currencies, which we believe will continue to support a deeper, more liquid market in local currency bonds in the long term.
Spikes in market volatility may be difficult to stomach although such potential “value creation events” do seem to be more common since 2008. The second quarter sell-off of fixed income overall was acute, and its repercussions in emerging markets debt did not fully dissipate as the third quarter progressed. While we continue to believe that the U.S. dollar is likely to remain relatively strong in the near term, the outsized spike in emerging market debt yields is not fully justified, in our view. While short-term investor activity has contributed to volatility in the less liquid emerging market instruments during the “duration aversion shock”, we expect that fundamentals may reassert themselves over time. We still believe in the long-term case for emerging market debt, especially debt denominated in local currency. This asset class continues to grow in depth and breadth, a trend we believe may continue for years to come, and therefore we anticipate greater potential for attractive opportunities.
The abrupt change in market sentiment did lay bare some fundamental challenges to
countries with high current account deficits – challenges that a prolonged period of easy money in the U.S. may have masked to some degree. However, not all emerging market countries are experiencing fragilities. Most are at a low point cyclically in their economic cycle, but very few face structural problems. Looking forward, we believe it will be “alpha” rather than “beta” that will drive emerging market debt performance, and active management will be more important than ever. Moreover, we believe that active investment decisions along currency, rates, and credit are more likely to produce positive performance (alpha) during periods that investors differentiate among markets rather than the beta associated with broad risk aversion moves. In particular, with rising developed market bond yields presenting a headwind, country and currency selection (alpha) will be critical.
During periods of underperformance, it is important to ask what has changed and what has not changed. While the Fed may be closer to reducing its stimulative measures as the domestic economy expands, the amount of liquidity injected by Japan into global capital markets may be expected to replenish much of what the Fed would remove. We believe Japan can continue to be a source of meaningful liquidity for some time, and we think that both the Bank of England’s and the European Central Bank’s (“ECB”) forward guidance will remain dovish. The ECB cut its policy rate in November and Australia is in
5 OPPENHEIMER EMERGING MARKETS DEBT FUND
easing mode. Meanwhile Brazil, Indonesia, and Turkey are already tightening monetary conditions in order to reduce their imbalances, while China’s clamp-down on credit expansion is warranted, in our view, and unlikely to lead to an unreasonable contraction. While most emerging market economies are below trend growth, Gross Domestic Product growth is positive and likely to improve with the recovery in the U.S. and Europe.

The percentages above are based on the market value of the Fund’s securities as of November 29, 2013, and are subject to change. Except for securities labeled “Unrated,” and except for certain securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign sovereign, all securities have been rated by at least one Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”), such as Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”). For securities rated only by an NRSRO other than S&P, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. converts that rating to the equivalent S&P rating. If two or more NRSROs have assigned a rating to a security, the highest S&P equivalent rating is used. Unrated securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign sovereign are assigned a credit rating equal to the highest NRSRO rating assigned to that foreign sovereign. Fund assets invested in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund are assigned that fund’s S&P rating, which is currently AAA. For the purposes of this table, “investment-grade” securities are securities rated within the NRSROs’ four highest rating categories (AAA, AA, A and BBB). Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be the equivalent of investment-grade.

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 4.75% and for Class C and N shares, the 1% contingent deferred sales charge for the 1-year period. There is no sales charge for Class I and Class Y shares. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized.
Standardized yield is based on net investment income for the 30-day period ended 11/30/13 and the maximum offering price at the end of the period for Class A shares and the net asset value for Class C, Class N, Class I and Class Y shares. Each result is compounded semiannually and then annualized. Falling share prices will tend to artificially raise yields.

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, 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 November 29, 2013.
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 Period” 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 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), or a $12.00 fee imposed annually on accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to exceptions described in the Statement of Additional Information). 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 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended November 29, 2013 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios | |
Class A | | | 1.25% | |
Class C | | | 2.00 | |
Class I | | | 0.84 | |
Class N | | | 1.50 | |
Class Y | | | 0.95 | |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary 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.

| | | | |
| | 1. Significant Accounting Policies | | |
Oppenheimer Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI. The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”).
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class N and Class Y shares. 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 N shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N 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, C and N shares have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class I and Class Y shares do not pay such fees.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Semiannual Period. The last day of the Fund’s semiannual period was the last day the New York Stock Exchange was open for trading. 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.
Structured Securities. The Fund invests in structured securities whose market values, interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked to the performance of underlying foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, stock market indices, prices of individual securities, commodities or other financial instruments or the occurrence of other specific events. The structured securities are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s market value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element or event. Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured security is sold or matures.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market 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. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment

| | |
| | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | 1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) | | |
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its 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 IMMF.
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.
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, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, 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 remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

| | | | |
| | 1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) | | |
During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, the Fund utilized $456,095 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. The Fund had straddle losses of $146.
As of November 29, 2013, it is estimated that the capital loss carryforwards would be $8,711,421 which will not expire. 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 six months ended November 29, 2013, it is estimated that the Fund will not utilize any 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 may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
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 as of November 29, 2013 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 | | $ | 81,418,621 | |
Federal tax cost of other investments | | | (8,247,485) | |
| | | | |
Total federal tax cost | | $ | 73,171,136 | |
| | | | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 591,659 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (4,700,053) | |
| | | | |
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (4,108,394) | |
| | | | |
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.
Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for 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.

| | | | |
| | |
| | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | 1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) | | |
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.
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. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
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.
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 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.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
40 OPPENHEIMER EMERGING MARKETS DEBT FUND
The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares 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.
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 last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. 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) using 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 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.
Structured securities, swaps, swaptions, and other over-the-counter derivatives are valued utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward currency rates obtained from third party pricing services. When the settlement date of a contract is an interim date for which a quotation is not available, interpolated values are derived using the nearest dated forward currency rate.
Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
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.
| | |
Security Type | | Standard inputs generally considered by third- party pricing vendors |
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities | | Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors. |
Loans | | Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations. |

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

| | | | |
| | 2. Securities Valuation (Continued) | | |
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 as of November 29, 2013 based on valuation input level:

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
| | | | |
Fee Schedule | | | |
Up to $500 million | | | 0.75 | % |
Next $500 million | | | 0.70 | |
Next $4 billion | | | 0.65 | |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.60 | |
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. Fees incurred by the Fund with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
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.
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 under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. 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
46 OPPENHEIMER EMERGING MARKETS DEBT FUND
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | 5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued) | | |
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 C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class C shares daily net assets and 0.25% on Class N shares daily net assets. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distributor determines its uncompensated expenses under the Plans at calendar quarter ends. The Distributor’s aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at September 30, 2013 were as follows:
| | | | |
Class C | | $ | 299,700 | |
Class N | | | 27,408 | |
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (“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 redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period indicated.

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments
The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.
Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors:
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 to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
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
48 OPPENHEIMER EMERGING MARKETS DEBT FUND
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | 6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued) | | |
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.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.
The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.
Forward Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into forward currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date. Such contracts are traded in the OTC inter-bank currency dealer market.
Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable (or payable) and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has entered into forward contracts with the obligation to purchase specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to take a positive investment perspective on the related currency. These forward contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

The Fund has entered into forward contracts with the obligation to purchase specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities held by the Fund.
The Fund has entered into forward contracts with the obligation to sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to take a negative investment perspective on the related currency. These forward contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.
The Fund has entered into forward contracts with the obligation to sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities held by the Fund.
During the six months ended November 29, 2013, the Fund had daily average contract amounts on forward contracts to buy and sell of $62,698,414 and $53,336,251, respectively.
Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty to a forward contract will default and fail to perform its obligations to the Fund.
Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. Futures contracts and options thereon are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value in an account registered in the futures commission merchant’s name. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the futures commission merchant each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the futures commission merchant can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations.
Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
50 OPPENHEIMER EMERGING MARKETS DEBT FUND
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | 6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued) | | |
The Fund has sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to decrease exposure to interest rate risk.
During the six months ended November 29, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $10,547,787 on futures contracts sold.
Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
Option Activity
The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security, currency or other underlying financial instrument at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.
Options can be traded through an exchange or through a privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded through an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse (such as The Options Clearing Corporation). The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has purchased call options on currencies to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A purchased call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.
The Fund has purchased put options on currencies to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A purchased put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.
During the six months ended November 29, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $50,899 and $10,181 on purchased call options and purchased put options, respectively.
Options written, if any, are reported in a schedule following the Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities held in collateral accounts to cover potential obligations with respect to outstanding written options are noted in the Statement of Investments.
The risk in writing a call option is that the market price of the security increases and if the option is exercised, the Fund must either purchase the security at a higher price for delivery or, if the Fund owns the underlying security, give up the opportunity for profit. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.

Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, the price or volatility of asset or non-asset references, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Swaps can be executed in a bi-lateral privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction (“OTC swaps”) or executed on a regulated market. Certain swaps, regardless of the venue of their execution, are required to be cleared through a clearinghouse (“cleared swaps”). Swap contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit default, currency, and volatility swaps.
Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Daily changes in the value of cleared swaps are reported as variation margin receivable or payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The values of OTC swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund, if any, at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.
Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference rate or asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to
52 OPPENHEIMER EMERGING MARKETS DEBT FUND
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | 6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued) | | |
similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps have embedded leverage, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on a debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a corporate issuer, sovereign issuer, or a basket or index of issuers (the “reference asset”).
The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.
The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.
If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the swap less the market value of specified debt securities issued by the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between such value and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund has purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual issuers and/or indexes of issuers.
For the six months ended November 29, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $44,286 on credit default swaps to buy protection.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified floating interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.

The Fund has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk.
Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments received by the Fund.

For the six months ended November 29, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $3,540,330 and $112,693,981 on interest rate swaps which pay a fixed rate and interest rate swaps which receive a fixed rate, respectively.
Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.
Swaption Transactions
The Fund may enter into a swaption contract which grants the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap transaction at preset terms detailed in the underlying agreement within a specified period of time. The purchaser pays a premium to the swaption writer who bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset terms on the underlying swap.
Purchased swaptions are reported as a component of investments in the Statement of Investments and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Written swaptions are reported on achedule following the Statement of Investments and their value is reported as a separate asset or liability line item in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on written swaptions is separately reported in the Statement of Operations. When a swaption is exercised, the cost of the swap is adjusted by the amount of premium paid or received. Upon the expiration or closing of an unexercised swaption contract, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations for the amount of the premium paid or received.
The Fund generally will incur a greater risk when it writes a swaption than when it purchases a swaption. When the Fund writes a swaption it will become obligated, upon exercise of the swaption, according to the terms of the underlying agreement. Swaption contracts written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk prior to exercise as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparty, to perform. When the Fund purchases a swaption it only risks losing the amount of the premium it paid if the swaption expires unexercised. However, when the Fund exercises a purchased swaption there is a risk that the counterparty will fail to perform or otherwise default on its obligations under the swaption contract.
The Fund purchased swaptions which gives it the option to enter into an interest rate swap in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. A purchased swaption of this type becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate decreases relative to the preset interest rate.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.
The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund. For OTC options purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform.
To reduce counterparty risk with respect to OTC transactions, the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative

| | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued | | |
| | | | |

contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.
As of November 29, 2013, the Fund has required certain counterparties to post collateral of $392,332.
ISDA master agreements include credit related contingent features which allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for cleared swaps is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for cleared swaps.
With respect to cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission merchant’s or clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.
Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund or the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions. The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court. The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.
Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.
On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’

| | | | |
| | 8. Pending Litigation (Continued) | | |
fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.
OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

| | BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT 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 renew the Agreements. 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 investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative 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 Sub-Adviser’s 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; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; and risk management. The Managers are 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 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. The Managers also provide 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 Sub-Adviser’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance
62 OPPENHEIMER EMERGING MARKETS DEBT FUND
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 Sara Zervos, 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 its members have become knowledgeable about 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 Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other retail emerging markets bond funds. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed its category median for the one-year period. The Board considered that the Fund’s underperformance versus its category median was mostly due to the fact that, unlike other competitors in its category, the Fund has a blended approach that incorporates hard currency debt, local currency debt, and corporate debt. The Board noted that given that hard currency emerging market debt outperformed the other two sub-asset classes in 2012, the Fund’s structural allocations to corporate debt and local currency debt modestly detracted from performance versus competitors that do not invest in those areas
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other retail emerging markets bond funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was higher than its respective peer group median and equal to its respective category median. The Board also considered that within the total asset range of $50-$100 million, the Fund’s effective management fee was higher than its respective peer group median and equal to its respective category median. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were higher than its peer group median and lower than its category median. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees and total expenses rank in the 4th quintile but are only two basis points above its peer group median. The Board also considered that the Manager has agreed to voluntarily limit the total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement for all classes of shares of the Fund so that total expenses, as percentage of average daily net assets, will not exceed the following annual rates: 1.25% for Class A Shares; 2.00% for Class C Shares; 1.50% for Class N Shares; 0.95% for Class Y Shares; and 0.85% for Class I Shares. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn until one year after the date of the Fund’s prospectus.
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. 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
63 OPPENHEIMER EMERGING MARKETS DEBT FUND
| | | | |
| | |
| | BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited / Continued | | |
systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers’ profitability from their relationship with 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.
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. 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.
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, 2014. 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.

| | PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES; UPDATES TO STATEMENTS OF INVESTMENTS Unaudited | | |

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.
