NOTES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends
and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the
periods shown. Cumulative total returns are not annualized. The Fund's
total returns shown do not reflect the deduction of income taxes on an
individual's investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns
on income or gains paid by the Fund or any gains you may realize if you
sell your shares.
INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISKS, AND
OTHER CHARGES AND EXPENSES CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING. THE FUND'S
PROSPECTUS CONTAINS THIS AND OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND, AND MAY BE
OBTAINED BY ASKING YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, CALLING US AT 1.800.525.7048 OR
VISITING OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.OPPENHEIMERFUNDS.COM. READ THE PROSPECTUS
CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING.
The Fund's investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention
of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by
OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
The Fund has entered into a warranty agreement (the "Warranty") with
Merrill Lynch Bank USA (the "Warranty Provider") which attempts to make
sure that the value of each shareholder's account on the maturity date
(December 16, 2011) will be at least equal to a shareholder's original
investment (reduced by any adjustments to the warranty amount permitted by
the Warranty, and less any redemptions of Fund shares or distributions
taken in cash, sales charges, and extraordinary Fund expenses). The
Warranty is solely the obligation of the Warranty Provider, not the
shareholders. The Warranty is dependent on the financial ability of the
Warranty Provider to make payment to the Fund on the Maturity Date. The
Warranty Amount will be reduced by any redemptions of Fund shares or
distributions taken in cash, sales charges and extraordinary fund
expenses. Distributions from the Fund are taxable whether or not
shareholders reinvest them in additional shares of the Fund. The Warranty
does not apply to shares redeemed during the Warranty Period, and
shareholders can lose money on shares unless redeemed on the Maturity
Date. Neither the Fund nor OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is obligated to replace
the Warranty Provider should it be unable to make payments necessary to
support the Warranty Amount. The Warranty increases the
14 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
Fund's expenses that shareholders pay and could lower Fund performance.
Shareholders must redeem their shares in the Fund on, and only on, the
Maturity Date (expected to be December 16, 2011) to receive the greater of
the then-current net asset value of the Fund or their Warranty Amount.
Prior to the Maturity Date, the Fund will provide each shareholder a
notice to remind them that shares must be redeemed on the Maturity Date to
receive the full benefit of the Warranty. After the Maturity Date, shares
of the Fund will not be covered under the terms of the Warranty and will
be subject to market fluctuations and the shares will then be redeemable
at the Fund's then-current net asset value, which may be lower than the
Warranty Amount.
Shares may be exchanged or redeemed at any time. However, if you redeem or
exchange shares prior to the end of the seven-year Warranty Period, you
will receive the then-current NAV per share, which may be higher or lower
than the Warranty Amount. To receive at least the full Warranty Amount,
you must maintain your original investment in the Fund until the end of
the seven-year term and reinvest all dividends and distributions.
During the Warranty Period, there are substantial opportunity costs.
Allocating assets to U.S. Government securities (primarily Treasury
STRIPS) reduces the Fund's ability to participate fully in upward equity
market movements. Therefore, it represents some loss of opportunity, or
opportunity cost, compared to a portfolio that is fully invested in
equities. In the event that the Fund's stock allocation declines
substantially, generally due to heavy stock market declines, the Fund will
permanently shift all investments to fixed income securities and certain
of the Fund's expenses will be reduced. In the event of reallocation of
100% of the Fund's assets to U.S. Government securities, the Fund will not
be permitted to allocate its assets to equity securities for the remainder
of the Warranty Period, which will eliminate the Fund's ability to
participate in any upward equity market movement.
While these fixed income securities (primarily Treasury STRIPS) that the
Fund invests in do not pay income the traditional way, an income
calculation is made for tax purposes based on the purchase price and the
time until the security reaches par value. Like traditional interest
payments, this amount is reported as income for tax purposes. The zero
coupon bonds the Fund
15 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
NOTES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
invests in do not pay interest income until maturity. However, the Fund is
required to accrue and declare a dividend on such income. Thus, you will
have taxable income.
Distributions from the Fund are taxable whether or not you reinvest them
in additional shares of the Fund. The Fund is not obligated to replace the
Warranty Provider should it be unable to make the payments necessary to
support the Warranty Amount. The Warranty increases the Fund's expenses
that you pay and therefore the Fund's expenses will generally be higher
than a fund that does not offer a Warranty.
All investments have risks to some degree. Stocks and S&P 500 Index
Futures fluctuate in price and their volatility at times may be great. If
the issuer of an S&P 500 Index Future does not pay the amount due, the
Fund can lose money on the investment. All investments have risks to some
degree. Stocks fluctuate in price and their volatility at times may be
great. While principal and interest payments on U.S. Treasury securities
are guaranteed by the U.S. Government, the price of such securities will
fluctuate with changes in prevailing interest rates. Zero-coupon U.S.
Government securities are subject to greater fluctuations in price from
interest rate changes than typical debt securities that pay interest on a
regular basis. Investors should be aware that principal protected funds
generally carry higher fees and expenses than non-protected funds.
The Fund offered its shares to the public from October 7, 2004 to December
10, 2004. From December 16, 2004, and until December 16, 2011, shares of
the Fund will only be issued upon reinvestment of dividends and
distributions.
An explanation of the calculation of performance is in the Fund's
Statement of Additional Information.
16 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
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 redemption
fees (if applicable); 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, 2008.
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
17 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
FUND EXPENSES Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Class N 1,000.00 1,018.00 6.95
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, 2008 are as follows:
CLASS EXPENSE RATIOS
- ---------------------------
Class A 1.22%
- ---------------------------
Class B 2.06
- ---------------------------
Class C 1.97
- ---------------------------
Class N 1.38
The expense ratios reflect reduction to custodian expenses and voluntary waivers
or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund's Manager that can be terminated at
any time, without advance notice. 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 Unaudited

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund III (the "Fund"), a series of
Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust III, is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
During the Warranty Period, the Fund will seek capital preservation in order to
have a net asset value on the Maturity Date at least equal to the Warranty
Amount. The Fund seeks high total return as a secondary objective. The Fund's
investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the "Manager").
Shares of the Fund were offered during the Offering Period (October 7,
2004 to December 10, 2004). Shares are not offered during the Warranty Period
(December 16, 2004 to December 16, 2011) to the Maturity Date (December 16,
2011) except in connection with reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
During the Warranty Period, the Fund will allocate its assets between
Oppenheimer Main Street Fund (the "Underlying Fund"), futures contracts on the
S&P 500 Index and certain U.S. government securities. The allocation of the
Fund's assets between the debt portfolio and the equity portfolio will vary over
time based upon the Warranty Formula. The formula is intended to allow the Fund
to have a net asset value on the Maturity Date at least equal to the Warranty
Amount.
During the Warranty Period, the Fund will invest a portion of its assets,
and in certain circumstances, the Fund may invest all of its assets, in U.S.
government securities having maturities approximately equal to the period
remaining in the Warranty Period.
The Fund offered Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares. Class A
shares were sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus
a front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C shares were sold without a
front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
(CDSC). Class N shares were sold only through retirement plans. 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 N have separate distribution and/or service plans. Class B shares will
automatically convert to Class A shares 90 months after the date of purchase.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARRANTY AGREEMENT. The Fund has entered into a Financial Warranty Agreement
with Merrill Lynch Bank USA ("the Warranty Provider") to ensure that on the
Maturity Date each shareholder's account will be no less than the value of that
shareholder's account on the second business day after the end of the Offering
Period (the Warranty Amount). This value will include net income, if any, earned
by the Fund during the offering period and be reduced by adjustments permitted
under the Warranty Agreement, sales charges, applicable share of extraordinary
expenses and proportionately reduced for dividends and distributions paid in
cash and redemptions of Fund shares. To avoid a reduced Warranty Amount,
shareholders must reinvest all dividends and distributions received
30 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
from the Fund to purchase additional shares of the Fund and must not redeem any
shares of the Fund during the Warranty Period. If the value of the Fund's assets
on the Maturity Date is insufficient to result in the value of each
shareholder's account being at least equal to the shareholder's Warranty Amount,
the Warranty Provider will pay the Fund an amount equal to the excess of his or
her Warranty Amount over his or her account value.
The Financial Warranty is solely the obligation of the Warranty Provider.
It is possible that the financial position of the Warranty Provider may
deteriorate and it would be unable to satisfy its obligations under the
Financial Warranty. The Fund's assets and the obligations of the Warranty
Provider under the Warranty Agreement are not guaranteed by Merrill Lynch & Co.,
Inc. (the Warranty Provider's parent company), the United States Government, the
Manager, or any other entity or person.
The Warranty Agreement requires the Manager, on behalf of the Fund, to
comply with certain agreed upon investment parameters in an attempt to limit the
Fund's risk. If the Manager fails to comply with the agreed-upon investment
parameters or otherwise fails to comply with certain requirements set forth in
the Warranty Agreement, the Warranty Provider may terminate its Financial
Warranty in certain limited circumstances. The Warranty Provider may monitor the
Fund's compliance with the Warranty Agreement solely to protect the interests of
the Warranty Provider and not the Fund's shareholders. The fee paid to the
Warranty Provider is an annual fee of 0.60% of the average daily net assets of
the Fund. If the Fund is required to make a complete and irreversible allocation
of its assets to the debt portfolio, the Warranty Fee will thereafter be reduced
to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES VALUATION. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of
shares based upon the net asset value of the Underlying Fund. For the Underlying
Fund, the net asset value per share for a class of shares is determined 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 by dividing the value
of the Underlying Fund's net assets attributable to that class by the number of
shares of that class outstanding on that day. To determine net asset values, the
Underlying Fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market
quotations.
Long term debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty
days will be valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices. "Money
market-type" debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to
maturity, or amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Securities held by the Fund and/or an Underlying Fund for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value. Securities
whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a
significant event occurring before the Fund and/or Underlying Fund's assets are
valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued.
Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures
under the supervision of the Fund and, when applicable, Underlying Fund's Board
of Trustees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
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 Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund's
investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated funds
advised by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading
accounts on a daily basis. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase
agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held
by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that
the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest
and principal. If the seller of the agreement defaults and the value of the
collateral declines, or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding,
realization of the value of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or
limited.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK. The Fund enters into financial
instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives)
that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk
exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is
greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Fund's
Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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
32 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
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.
During the fiscal year ended August 31,2007,the Fund utilized $909,112 of
capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
The approximate 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 February 29,2008 are noted
below.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.
Federal tax cost of securities $ 68,055,122
Federal tax cost of other investments 4,840,543
------------
Total federal tax cost $ 72,895,665
============
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 1,190,183
Gross unrealized depreciation (1,310,040)
------------
Net unrealized depreciation $ (119,857)
============
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. 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 to 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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or
at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities,other than
short-term obligations and investments in IMMF,for the six months ended February

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
MANAGEMENT FEES. Under the investment advisory agreement, management fees paid
to the Manager were in accordance with the investment advisory agreement with
the Fund which provides for a fee at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average
annual net assets of the Fund. That fee will apply during the Warranty Period
and the Post-Warranty Period. The management fee shall be reduced to 0.40% per
annum of average annual net assets of the Fund in any month during the Warranty
Period following a month where the Fund's
35 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Continued
investment in equity securities (including shares of the Underlying Fund) is, on
average, less than 10% of net assets. If during the Warranty Period 100% of the
Fund's assets are completely and irreversibly invested in the debt portfolio,
the management fee will be at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average annual net
assets of the Fund, and if that occurs the Manager will further reduce its
management fee to the extent necessary so that expenses after waivers and
reductions to the Fund (other than extraordinary expenses such as litigation
costs) do not exceed 1.30% for Class A shares, 2.05% for Class B shares, 2.05%
for Class C shares and 1.55% for Class N shares. However, if this reduction in
the management fee is not sufficient to reduce expenses after waivers and
reductions to these limits, the Manager is not required to subsidize Fund
expenses to assure that expenses do not exceed those limits. Furthermore, if
expenses exceed these expense limits, the Warranty Amount will be reduced by any
expenses that exceed those limits.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADMINISTRATION SERVICE FEES. The Fund pays the Manager a fee of $1,500 per year
for preparing and filing the Fund's tax returns.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. OppenheimerFunds Services ("OFS"), a division of the
Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The
Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the six months ended February 29, 2008, the
Fund paid $22,093 to OFS for services to 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
average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor
currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other
financial institutions 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 N SHARES. The Fund
has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the "Plans") for Class B, 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
36 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The
Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If
either the Class B, 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. The
Distributor's aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at December 31,
2007 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $357,552, $23,845 and $12,153,
respectively. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the
Statement of Operations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

WAIVERS AND REIMBURSEMENTS OF EXPENSES. The Manager will reimburse the Fund for
expenses equal to the Underlying Fund expenses paid by the Fund as a shareholder
of the Underlying Fund. That expense reimbursement will fluctuate as the Fund's
allocation between the Underlying Fund and the debt portfolio changes. During
the six months ended February 29, 2008, the Manager reimbursed the Fund $85,441
for such Underlying Fund expenses.
OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing
agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This
undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
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 six months ended February 29, 2008, the Manager waived $3,012
for IMMF management fees.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. FUTURES CONTRACTS
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a
commodity or financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future
date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts on the Standard and Poor's 500
Composite Stock Price Index. The Fund may also buy or write put or call options
on these futures contracts.
37 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. FUTURES CONTRACTS Continued
Futures contracts 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.
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. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are
made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal
to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains
and losses.
Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of
Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin
requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of
Investments. Cash held by the broker 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.
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. SECURITIES LENDING
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as
collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are
secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an
amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during
the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined
at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is
delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its
obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other
reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities
loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the
economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the
form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain
or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the
term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover
the securities from the borrower on demand. As of February 29, 2008, the Fund
had on loan securities valued at $13,303,494. Collateral of $13,340,586 was
received for the loans, all of which was received in cash and subsequently
invested in approved instruments.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of
fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value
measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of February
29, 2008, the Manager does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will
materially impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional
disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements
and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the
period.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer Main Street Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series of Oppenheimer
Main Street Funds, Inc., an open-end management investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment
objective is to seek a high total return. The Fund's investment adviser is
OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the "Manager").
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, 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 B, 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 Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without
either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the institutional investor
may impose charges on those accounts. 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 N have
separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for
Class Y shares. 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 consistently
followed by the Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES VALUATION. 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. Securities may be
valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service
authorized by the Board of Directors. Securities traded on a registered U.S.
securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security
traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued.
Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ R are valued based on the closing
price reported by NASDAQ 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 closing "bid" and "asked"
prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Securities traded on foreign
exchanges are valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on
which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service,
prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. In the absence of a sale,
the security is valued at the official closing price on the principal exchange.
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity
in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized
mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities will be valued at the
mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices. Securities for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value. Securities
whose values have been materially affected

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the
Fund's assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will
be fair valued. Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently
applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Directors. Shares of a
registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at
the acquired investment company's net asset value per share. "Money market-type"
debt instruments with remaining maturities 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund's
investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated funds
advised by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading
accounts on a daily basis. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase
agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held
by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that
the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest
and principal. If the seller of the agreement defaults and the value of the
collateral declines, or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding,
realization of the value of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or
limited.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, 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
64 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
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.
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.
As of February 29, 2008, the Fund had available for federal income tax
purposes an estimated capital loss carryforward of zero. This estimated capital
loss carryforward represents carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year,
increased for losses deferred under tax accounting rules to the current fiscal
year and is increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the
first six months of the current fiscal year. During the six months ended
February 29, 2008, it is estimated that the Fund will utilize $23,186 of capital
loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains. During the fiscal year ended
August 31, 2007, the Fund utilized $489,935 of capital loss carryforward to
offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
As of August 31, 2007, the Fund had available for federal income tax
purposes post-October foreign currency losses of $23,186.
The approximate 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 February 29, 2008 are noted
below. 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.
Federal tax cost of securities $ 9,186,746,307
===============
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 1,353,336,898
Gross unrealized depreciation (568,079,566)
---------------
Net unrealized appreciation $ 785,257,332
===============
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION. The Board of Directors has adopted a compensation
deferral plan for independent directors that enables directors 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
Director 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 Director. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for
deferral by the Director 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 directors' 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 to the compensation deferral plan.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
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 and capital gain distributions, if any, are
declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
directors 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.

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 $200 million 0.65%
Next $150 million 0.60
Next $150 million 0.55
Over $500 million 0.45
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADMINISTRATION SERVICE FEES. The Fund pays the Manager a fee of $1,500 per year
for preparing and filing the Fund's tax returns.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER AGENT FEES.Oppenheimer Funds Services ("OFS"), a division of the
Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The
Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the six months ended February 29, 2008, the
Fund paid $9,070,511 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000
annually for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to
the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed
the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor
currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other
financial institutions 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.
68 | OPPENHEIMER PRINCIPAL PROTECTED MAIN STREET FUND III
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS FOR CLASS B, CLASS C AND CLASS N SHARES. The Fund
has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the "Plans") for Class B, 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 B and Class C
shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee
of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N
plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of
Directors and its independent directors 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. The Distributor's aggregate uncompensated
expenses under the Plans at December 31, 2007 for Class B, Class C and Class N
shares were $16,887,485, $38,299,606 and $3,792,288, respectively. Fees incurred
by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

WAIVERS AND REIMBURSEMENTS OF EXPENSES. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit
transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of
average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or
withdrawn at any time.
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 six months ended February 29, 2008, the Manager waived $22,215
for IMMF management fees.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. ILLIQUID SECURITIES
As of February 29, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are
illiquid.Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading
market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an
acceptable price. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets
(determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid
securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote
on the Statement of Investments.

6. SECURITIES LENDING
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as
collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are
secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an
amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during
the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined
at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is
delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its
obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other
reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities
loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the
economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the
form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain
or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the
term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover
the securities from the borrower on demand. As of February 29, 2008, the Fund
had on loan securities valued at $524,178,455. Collateral of $558,478,892 was
received for the loans, all of which was received in cash and subsequently
invested in approved instruments.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of
fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value
measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of February
29, 2008, the Manager does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will
materially impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional
disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements
and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the
period.

1. The Fund's Governance Committee (the "Committee") will evaluate potential
Board candidates to assess their qualifications. The Committee shall have
the authority, upon approval of the Board, to retain an executive search
firm to assist in this effort. The Committee may consider recommendations
by business and personal contacts of current Board members and by executive
search firms which the Committee may engage from time to time and may also
consider shareholder recommendations. The Committee may consider the advice
and recommendation of the Funds' investment manager and its affiliates in
making the selection.
2. The Committee shall screen candidates for Board membership. The Committee
has not established specific qualifications that it believes must be met by
a trustee nominee. In evaluating trustee nominees, the Committee considers,
among other things, an individual's background, skills, and experience;
whether the individual is an "interested person" as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940; and whether the individual would be deemed
an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of applicable SEC
rules. The Committee also considers whether the individual's background,
skills, and experience will complement the background, skills, and
experience of other nominees and will contribute to the Board. There are no
differences in the manner in which the Committee
evaluates nominees for trustees based on whether the nominee is recommended
by a shareholder.
3. The Committee may consider nominations from shareholders for the Board at
such times as the Committee meets to consider new nominees for the Board.
The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine the candidates to
present to the Board and, in such cases where required, to shareholders.
Recommendations for trustee nominees should, at a minimum, be accompanied
by the following:
o the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent
background of the person being recommended;
o a statement concerning whether the person is an "interested person" as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940;
o any other information that the Funds would be required to include in a
proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and
o the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation and,
if that person is a shareholder, the period for which that person held
Fund shares.
The recommendation also can include any additional information which the
person submitting it believes would assist the Committee in evaluating the
recommendation.
4. Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the
Funds' investment adviser) would be deemed an "interested person" under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, certain other relationships
with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its subsidiaries, with
registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds' outside legal counsel may
cause a person to be deemed an "interested person."
5. Before the Committee decides to nominate an individual as a trustee,
Committee members and other directors customarily interview the individual
in person. In addition, the individual customarily is asked to complete a
detailed questionnaire which is designed to elicit information which must
be disclosed under SEC and stock exchange rules and to determine whether
the individual is subject to any statutory disqualification from serving as
a trustee of a registered investment company.
