Accessing Your Retirement Savings
This guide will assist you with understanding your
various distribution options and provides the
forms necessary for taking a distribution from an
OppenheimerFunds Traditional, Roth, SIMPLE and
SEP Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Your age
and reason for distribution may impact the type
of distribution you take as well as the potential tax
implications. Before taking a distribution from your
IRA, we encourage you to consult with a qualified tax
advisor as well as your financial advisor to help you
evaluate your options.
This material is meant for informational purposes only
and is not intended to be used for legal or tax advice.
This booklet is not intended for beneficiaries.
Beneficiaries inheriting an IRA should use
the forms included in the Inherited IRA
Instructions and Forms booklet available
at oppenheimerfunds.com or by calling the
IRA Resource Center at 800 783 7783.

OppenheimerFunds
Types of Distributions
Below is a description of the types of distributions you
may request from your retirement account. If you are
under age 70½, use the IRA Distribution Request Form
on page 5, or age 70½ and above, use the Required
Minimum Distribution Request Form on page 9.
Normal Distribution (on or after age 59½)
Investors who are age 59½ and above may request a
normal distribution from their retirement account.
Roth IRA distributions are tax free if the account has
been held for at least five years.
Premature Distribution (before age 59½)
All IRA distributions taken prior to age 59½ may
be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty.
In a Roth IRA, converted amounts under five years
and all earnings will be subject to a premature
distribution penalty.
2
Penalty Exempt Distributions
The IRS has defined the following events to be eligible
waivers of the early 10% withdrawal penalty and are
discussed in greater detail in IRS Publication 590-B.
Please use IRS Form 5329 along with your taxes to
document your penalty exception.
•Disability is defined by the IRS as being unable to
engage in any substantial and gainful activity.1
•Death
•Substantial Equal Periodic Distribution Payments
(72(t)). Payment schedule may not be altered and
must continue for the latter of five years or until
age 59½.
•Certain Unreimbursed Medical Expenses
•First-Time Home Purchase
•Education Expenses
•Unemployed Health Insurance
•IRS Levy
•Direct Rollovers (see Rollovers)
•Active Reservist
1.OppenheimerFunds does not require proof of disability to identify the distribution on the tax form, however, if your distribution comes from a class
of shares with a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), you may have the CDSC waived by supplying a letter of disability determination from the Social Security
Administration (SSA), or if you already receive a stream of benefits from the SSA, a signed letter from your physician on his or her own letterhead.

The Right Way to Invest
Rollovers
Generally, a rollover is a tax-free distribution to you
of cash or other assets from one retirement plan to
another retirement plan or IRA. The contribution to the
receiving account is called a “rollover contribution.”
Your distribution can be made in the form of a direct
rollover or an indirect rollover.
•
Direct Rollover (Trustee to Trustee Transfer)
If you elect this option, the balance of your
account will be transferred directly into an IRA
or an employer’s qualified plan of your choosing
without you taking physical receipt of the assets.
This is a non-taxable transaction.
•
Indirect Rollover (60-Day Rollover Rule)
If you elect this option, it is your responsibility to
redeposit the value of your account into an IRA
or an employer’s qualified plan within 60 days.
Amounts not rolled over within the 60 calendar-day
period do not qualify as a tax-fee rollover and
as a result may be subject to taxes and penalties.
If your distribution is from a SIMPLE IRA that has
been funded for less than two years, the premature
distribution penalty is 25% instead of 10% and cannot
be rolled over to a Traditional IRA
Effective 2015, you can make only one indirect
rollover from an IRA to another (or same) IRA in
any 12-month period regardless of the number of
IRAs you own.2
Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)
(at age 70½ and not applicable to
Roth IRAs)
You must begin taking RMDs in the year in which you
attain age 70½. Though you may defer your first RMD
until April 1 of the year following the year in which you
attain age 70½, doing so will require you to take two
RMDs in the year in which you attain age 71.
The RMD is based on your life expectancy factor and
the year-end account value of your IRA according to
the following formula:
RMD = (December 31 portfolio value)
(Life expectancy factor)
Under IRS rules, your life expectancy factor is taken
from the Uniform Life Expectancy Table located in
IRS Publication 590-B. The only exception is if your
spouse is your sole beneficiary and more than 10 years
younger. In this instance, you may use the actual joint
life expectancy of you and your spouse to calculate
your RMD.
Please Note: Distributions from RMDs can be
reinvested into a nonretirement OppenheimerFunds
mutual fund account. Please talk to your financial
advisor or call 800 CALL OPP (225 5677) for
more details.
.
2.This rule applies to Traditional, Roth, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs. It does not apply to distributions from a qualified employer’s retirement plan.

Tax-Reporting Information
Any distribution from an IRA is reported to the IRS
as a distribution taken in the year in which the shares
are redeemed. The distribution is reported on IRS
Form 1099-R.
We will pay the IRS the amount withheld on your behalf.
We cannot refund any amount properly withheld, even
if the amount was withheld because of your failure to
file the necessary election notice.
Tax-Withholding Information
Withholding Is Your Responsibility
All distributions will be issued net of withholding unless
you specify otherwise. Distributions from an IRA
account are subject to federal income tax withholding
unless you elect not to have taxes withheld. Share­holder
Services is required by the Internal Revenue Code to
withhold 10% from all IRA distributions unless we are
instructed otherwise by you at the time you request
distributions. You will receive your copy of Form 1099-R
by the end of January of the following year.
It is your responsibility to determine whether with­
holding is appropriate and meets the requirements
of the applicable tax laws. Neither we, the funds’
­distributor, nor the funds themselves are responsible
for determining whether withholding should apply,
what amounts should be withheld, or whether your
election satisfies your obligations under the tax laws.
This includes withholding for state law purposes,
which OppenheimerFunds does not perform.
If you do not want Shareholder Services to withhold
taxes on your ­distributions, please be sure to complete
the withholding section of the OppenheimerFunds IRA
Distribution Request or Required Minimum Distribution
Request Form. You must include your Taxpayer Identi­
fication Number (your Social Security number) on the
notice and sign it for your election to be effective. You
will then be responsible for paying estimated taxes to
the IRS. You may incur penalties under the estimated
tax rules if your estimated tax payment is insufficient.
Payments Paid Outside the United States
For periodic distributions, your decision to not have
withholding apply will remain in effect until you cancel
it. For non-periodic distributions, the with­holding
notice applies only to that specific distribution.
For non-periodic distributions, we will automatically
withhold federal taxes at a rate of 10% unless other­
wise instructed. The election notice can be used to
increase the amount of tax withheld.
Where indicated, you must provide us with your
certified Taxpayer Identification Number (your Social
Security number) when you request a payment. If you
fail to provide it, we are required by law to withhold even
if you elect not to have tax withheld.
4
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien and your home
address is outside the United States, you may not elect
against withholding on payments paid outside the U.S.
If you are not a U.S. citizen or are a nonresident alien,
you may elect against U.S. withholding provided:
1. You supply Shareholder Services with an IRS
Form W-8BEN or have done so within the last
three years, and
2. You are not subject to Section 877 of the Internal
Revenue Code concerning expatriation to avoid
taxes.
If you submit an IRS Form W-8BEN to Shareholder
Services, we will withhold at the rate of 30% or at the
rate specified by the treaty between the United States
and your country of residence, if any.
Processing Time
Please allow 7–10 days to process and implement a
distribution request.
