Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, PLLC Announces Class Action Lawsuit against Rochester National Municipals Fund

Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC announces that it has filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“Oppenheimer”) on behalf of purchasers of the Rochester National Municipals Fund (“Rochester” or the “Fund”) (NASDAQ:ORNAX – News) (NASDAQ:ORNBX – News) (NASDAQ:ORNCX – News) from March 13, 2006 through October 21, 2008 (the “Class Period”).

The complaint filed charges Oppenheimer, the Fund and certain of its Trustees with violations of the Securities Act of 1933. The suit claims that the registration statements and prospectuses used to sell shares in the Fund contained materially false and misleading statements about the risks of investing in the Fund. The lawsuit identified the following funds as affected: A Shares (ORNAX), B Shares (ORNBX) and C Shares (ORNCX).

On October 21, 2008, Rochester filed a Prospectus Supplement which alerted investors of the true liquidity risks of the Fund’s investments. The Fund closed at $6.59 per share later that day, representing a 49% decline in value. Plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of all those who purchased shares of Rochester National Municipals Fund from March 13, 2006 through October 21, 2008.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
