The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. today announced it has filed a class action
lawsuit on behalf of all purchasers of A, B and C shares of Rochester
Fund Municipals ("Rochester Fund" or the "Fund") (NASDAQ: RMUNX) (NASDAQ:
RMUBX) (NASDAQ: RMUCX) between February 26, 2006 and October 21, 2008,
inclusive ("Class Period").

CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU

CHOICE.

    The complaint alleges that Rochester Fund, its manager Oppenheimer Funds,
Inc. and certain officers and directors violated the federal securities
laws by misleading investors about the risks of investing in the Fund. The
Complaint asserts that the prospectuses through which shares of the Fund
were sold failed to disclose substantial risks concerning Inverse Floaters
that the Fund invested in 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
trading in Inverse Floaters. The Complaint asserts that this adverse
disclosure caused the Fund's shares to fall, damaging investors.

    A class action lawsuit has already been filed on behalf of Rochester Fund
shareholders. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the
Court no later than April 27, 2009. If you wish to join the litigation or
