The complaint alleges that Rochester Fund, its manager Oppenheimer Funds, Inc. and certain officers and directors violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 by misleading investors about the risks of investing in the Fund. The Complaint asserts that the Registration Statements through which shares of the Fund were sold failed to disclose certain risks concerning Inverse Floaters in connection with the Fund, which existed during the Class Period. The Complaint asserts that on October 21, 2008, the Fund filed a Prospectus Supplement that finally disclosed the material and relevant risks concerning the Fund's Inverse Floaters. The Complaint asserts that this adverse disclosure caused the Fund's shares to fall, damaging investors.
