Dear Stockholders:
The Boards of Directors/Trustees (the "Directors") of the AllianceBernstein
Funds listed in the accompanying Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders
(each, a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds") are pleased to invite you to
the Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") to be held on
November 5, 2010. The accompanying Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of
Stockholders and Proxy Statement present several proposals to be considered at
the Meeting.
At the Meeting, stockholders or shareholders (the "stockholders") of each Fund
will be asked to elect Directors of that Fund. The stockholders of certain
Funds are also being asked to approve one or more proposals specific to these
Funds, as explained in the attached Proxy Statement. These proposals include
amendments to the investment advisory agreements of certain Funds, updating and
standardizing the governing documents of certain Funds, amending fundamental
commodities policies of certain Funds, and reclassifying the investment
objectives of certain Funds as non-fundamental. We believe that these
amendments will benefit each Fund and its stockholders.
The Directors have concluded that the proposals are in the best interests of
each Fund and unanimously recommend that you vote "FOR" each of the proposals
that apply to the Fund or Funds in which you hold shares.
We welcome your attendance at the Meeting. If you are unable to attend, we
encourage you to vote by proxy. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.
("Broadridge"), a proxy solicitation firm, has been selected to assist
stockholders in the proxy solicitation process. If we have not received your
proxy as the date of the Meeting approaches, you may receive a telephone call
from Broadridge reminding you to authorize the proxy holders to cast your
votes. No matter how many shares you own, your vote is important.
Sincerely,
Robert M. Keith
President
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
THE ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN FUNDS
PROXY
Q. WHY DID YOU SEND ME THIS BOOKLET?
A. This booklet contains the Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders
(the "Notice") and Proxy Statement that provides you with information you
should review before voting on the proposals that will be presented at the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") for the AllianceBernstein
Funds listed in the accompanying notice (each, a "Fund" and, collectively,
the "Funds"). You are receiving these proxy materials because you either own
shares of a Fund's stock or shares of beneficial interest in a Fund (we
refer to both as "shares" and to the holders of shares as "stockholders").
As a stockholder, you have the right to vote for the election of Directors
or Trustees of a Fund and on the various proposals concerning your
investment in a Fund.
Q. WHO IS ASKING FOR MY VOTE?
A. The Board of Directors/Trustees of a Fund (each, a "Board" and, collectively
the "Boards") is asking you to vote at the Meeting. In this Proxy Statement,
we will refer to both Directors and Trustees, individually, as a "Director"
or, collectively, as the "Directors." Details regarding the proposals are
further explained in the Proxy Statement. A summary of the proposals is as
follows:
The first proposal is to elect Directors for each Fund. All Fund
stockholders will be asked to vote on this proposal.
We are also asking for your approval of several other proposals. As more
fully explained in the Proxy Statement, not all of these proposals apply to
each Fund. These proposals include the approval of:
. Amendment of the investment advisory agreements for certain of the Funds;
. Amendment of the Declarations of Trust for certain of the Funds that are
organized as Massachusetts Business Trusts;
. Amendment and Restatement of the Charters for certain of the Funds that
are organized as Maryland corporations;
. Amendment of the fundamental policies regarding commodities of certain of
the Funds; and
. Reclassification of certain of the Funds' fundamental investment
objectives as non-fundamental.
Q. HOW DO THE BOARDS RECOMMEND I VOTE?
A. The Boards recommend that you vote FOR each of the nominees and FOR all
proposals.
Q. WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE?
A. Stockholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2010 (the
"Record Date") are entitled to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or
postponement of the Meeting. You will be entitled to vote only on those
proposals that apply to the Fund of which you were a stockholder on the
Record Date. If you owned shares on the Record Date, you have the right to
vote even if you later redeemed the shares.
Q. WHAT ROLE DO THE BOARDS PLAY?
A. The business and affairs of each Fund are managed under the direction of
that Fund's Board. Each of the Directors has an obligation to act in what he
or she believes to be the best interests of a Fund, including approving and
recommending the proposals in the Proxy Statement. The background of each
nominee for Director is described in the Proxy Statement.
Q. WHY ARE THE BOARDS PROPOSING TO AMEND THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS OF
CERTAIN FUNDS?
A. The first proposed amendment relates to the calculation of the investment
advisory fees for certain Funds. The standard investment advisory agreements
between the Funds' adviser, AllianceBernstein L.P. (the "Adviser") and most
of the Funds provide that the advisory fee rate is calculated as a
percentage of average daily net assets. Certain of the Funds' agreements
vary from this standard and provide that the fee rate is calculated as a
percentage of net assets at the end of the preceding calendar quarter. We
are proposing to amend the agreements that vary from the standard so that
the agreements provide that the advisory fee rate will be calculated as a
percentage of average daily net assets. This amendment would eliminate
disparities between the contractual fee rate and the effective fee rate that
result from the calculation of the fee rate as of the end of each preceding
calendar quarter.
The second proposed amendment relates to the reimbursement to the Adviser of
its costs of providing certain administrative services to a Fund at the
request of the Fund. The standard investment advisory agreements for the
Funds provide for the reimbursement to the Adviser of these costs. One
Fund's agreement does not include this provision. We are proposing to amend
the agreement that varies from the standard agreements to provide for the
reimbursement to the Adviser of these costs.
Q. WHY ARE THE BOARDS PROPOSING THE AMENDMENT OF THE DECLARATIONS OF TRUST OF
CERTAIN FUNDS THAT ARE ORGANIZED AS MASSACHUSETTS BUSINESS TRUSTS?
A. Several of the Funds are organized under Massachusetts law as Massachusetts
Business Trusts. Currently, the declarations of trust of certain of these
Funds require a stockholder vote to amend the declarations, except in
certain limited situations. We are proposing to amend the declarations to
provide the Directors with broad authority to amend the declarations without
a vote of stockholders. By allowing future amendments of a declaration
without stockholder approval, this proposal removes limits on the Directors'
authority to take actions that would
benefit the Funds. In connection with this proposal, the Directors approved
certain amendments to the declarations to take effect if stockholders
approve the proposal. These amendments would eliminate stockholder votes on
reorganization or merger, termination of a trust, and liquidation of a class
or series, as applicable. These amendments are intended to enable the
Directors to take actions that would be in the best interests of the Funds
without the cost and delay of obtaining a stockholder vote. The Directors
also approved certain other amendments to the declarations, as described in
the Proxy Statement to improve the efficient management of the Funds.
Q. WHY ARE THE BOARDS PROPOSING THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE CHARTER OF
CERTAIN OF THE FUNDS THAT ARE ORGANIZED AS MARYLAND CORPORATIONS?
A. Most of the Funds are organized under Maryland law. We are proposing the
amendment and restatement of the charters of certain Funds that are Maryland
corporations for your approval in order to modernize and standardize these
documents and to facilitate more efficient management of the Funds by giving
them greater flexibility as permitted under Maryland law.
Q. WHY ARE THE BOARDS PROPOSING TO AMEND CERTAIN OF THE FUNDS' FUNDAMENTAL
POLICIES REGARDING COMMODITIES?
A. Certain policies are required by the federal law applicable to mutual funds
to be fundamental, meaning they cannot be changed without a stockholder
vote. We are proposing to amend the Funds' fundamental policies regarding
commodities and adopt a more flexible policy that will reference applicable
law. The proposed amendment is intended to clarify that the Funds may
continue to be able to engage in current investment practices as approved by
the Directors, regardless of changes in applicable law, including changes as
a result of recent financial reform legislation. The revised policy will not
change the way the Funds are managed.
Q. WHY ARE THE BOARDS PROPOSING TO RECLASSIFY CERTAIN OF THE FUNDS' FUNDAMENTAL
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES?
A. A Fund's investment objective is not required to be fundamental under
applicable law. We propose the reclassification of certain Funds'
fundamental investment objectives as non-fundamental, similar to most of the
other Funds, to provide each Fund with the flexibility to respond to market
changes by changing its investment objective without incurring the expense
and delay of seeking a stockholder vote. The reclassification would permit a
Fund to revise its investment objective in the event the Board determines
that such a change would be in the best interests of the Fund in light of
the facts and circumstances, including market conditions or trends. Any
subsequent change in a Fund's investment objective would be subject to prior
approval by the Board of that Fund. Stockholders will be given at least 60
days notice prior to the implementation of a material change in an
investment objective.
Q. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PROPOSALS FOR MULTIPLE FUNDS IN ONE PROXY STATEMENT?
A. The Funds are intended to offer a broad range of investment opportunities to
investors and the Funds have over 3 million stockholders. We have included
all of our proposals in one Proxy Statement to reduce costs. More tailored
Proxy Statements would increase printing and mailing costs. We recognize
that the Proxy Statement is lengthy and have endeavored to make it as simple
and understandable as possible. One way to approach it is for you to
identify your Fund below and, when reviewing Part I and Part II of the Proxy
Statement, only read the proposals applicable to your Fund. Another way is
for you to use the Proxy Card, which is included in the materials being sent
to you, to identify the proposals applicable to your Fund and only read
those parts of the Proxy Statement.
Q. HOW CAN I AUTHORIZE PROXIES TO CAST MY VOTE?
A. Please follow the instructions included on the enclosed Proxy Card.
Q. WHAT IF I WANT TO REVOKE MY PROXY?
A. You can revoke your proxy at any time prior to its exercise (i) by giving
written notice to the Secretary of a Fund at 1345 Avenue of the Americas,
New York, New York 10105, (ii) by authorizing a later-dated proxy (either by
signing and submitting another proxy card or by calling (866) 451-3783) or
(iii) by personally voting at the Meeting.
Q. WHOM DO I CALL IF I HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROXY?
A. Please call (866) 451-3783 if you have questions.

AllianceBernstein L.P., Attention: Philip L. Kirstein, 1345 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, NY 10105.
**"Years of Service" refers to the total number of years served as a Director.
***The Adviser and ABI are affiliates of each Fund.
# Member of the Audit Committee, the Governance and Nominating Committee, and
the Independent Directors Committee of a Fund.
##Member of the Fair Value Pricing Committee (with respect to Ms. Jacklin, for
TAP only).
+ Mr. Keith will become a Director of a Fund if elected at the Meeting by that
Fund.
++Mr. Keith is an "interested person," as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, of each Fund due to his position as a Senior
Vice President of the Adviser.
The business and affairs of each Fund are managed under the direction of that
Fund's Board. Directors who are not "interested persons" of a Fund as defined
in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), are referred to as
"Independent Directors", and Directors who are "interested persons" of a Fund
are referred to as "Interested Directors". Certain information concerning the
Funds' governance structure and each Director is set forth below.
Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Funds' Directors. The
Governance and Nominating Committee of each Fund's Board, which is composed of
Independent Directors, reviews the experience, qualifications, attributes and
skills of potential candidates for nomination or election by the Board, and
conducts a similar review in connection with the proposed nomination of current
Directors for re-election by stockholders at any annual or special meeting of
stockholders. In evaluating a candidate for nomination or election as a
Director, the Governance and Nominating Committee takes into account the
contribution that the candidate would be expected to make to the diverse mix of
experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that the Governance and
Nominating Committee believes contributes to good governance for the Fund.
Additional information concerning the Governance and Nominating Committee's
consideration of nominees appears in the description of the Committee below.
Each Fund's Board believes that, collectively, the Directors have balanced and
diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the
Board to operate effectively in governing the Fund and protecting the interests
of stockholders. The Board of each Fund has concluded that, based on each
Director's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual
basis and in combination with those of the other Directors, each Director is
qualified and should continue to serve as such.
In determining that a particular Director was and continues to be qualified to
serve as a Director, each Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of
which, in isolation, was controlling. In addition, each Board has taken into
account the actual service and commitment of each Director during his or her
tenure (including the Director's commitment and participation in Board and
committee meetings, as well as his or her current and prior leadership of
standing and ad hoc committees) in concluding that each should continue to
serve. Additional information about the specific experience, skills, attributes
and qualifications of each Director, which in each case led to the Board's
conclusion that the Director should serve (or continue to serve) as trustee or
director of the Fund, is provided in the table above and in the next paragraph.
Among other attributes and qualifications common to all Directors are their
ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information
provided to them (including information requested by the Directors), to
interact effectively with the Adviser, other service providers, counsel and the
Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective
business judgment in the performance of their duties as Directors. In addition
to his or her service as a Director of the Fund and other AllianceBernstein
Funds as noted in the table above: Mr. Dobkin has experience as an executive of
a number of organizations and served as Chairman of the Audit Committee of many
of the AllianceBernstein Funds from 2001 to 2008; Mr. Downey has experience in
the investment advisory business including as Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of a large fund complex and as director of a number of
non-AllianceBernstein funds and as Chairman of a non-AllianceBernstein
closed-end fund; Mr. Foulk has experience in the investment advisory and
securities
businesses, including as Deputy Controller and Chief Investment Officer of the
State of New York (where his responsibilities included bond issuances, cash
management and oversight of the New York Common Retirement Fund), has served as
Chairman of the AllianceBernstein Funds and of the Independent Directors
Committee since 2003, and is active in a number of mutual fund related
organizations and committees; Mr. Guzy has experience as a corporate director
including as Chairman of a public company and Chairman of the Finance Committee
of a large public technology company; Ms. Jacklin has experience as a financial
services regulator including as U.S. Executive Director of the International
Monetary Fund, which is responsible for ensuring the stability of the
international monetary system, and as a financial services lawyer in private
practice; Mr. Keith has experience as an executive of the Adviser with
responsibility for, among other things, the AllianceBernstein Funds; Mr. Moody
has experience as a certified public accountant including experience as Vice
Chairman and U.S. and Global Investment Management Practice Partner for a major
accounting firm, is a member of the governing council of an organization of
independent directors of mutual funds, and has served as Chairman of the Audit
Committee of most of the AllianceBernstein Funds since 2008; Mr. Turner has
experience as a director (including Chairman and Chief Executive officer of a
number of companies) and as a venture capital investor including prior service
as general partner of three institutional venture capital partnerships; and
Mr. Weiner has experience as a securities lawyer whose practice includes
registered investment companies and as Chairman, director or trustee of a
number of boards, and has served as Chairman of the Governance and Nominating
Committee of most of the AllianceBernstein Funds. The disclosure herein of a
director's experience, qualifications, attributes and skills does not impose on
such director any duties, obligations, or liability that are greater than the
duties, obligations, and liability imposed on such director as a member of the
Board and any committee thereof in the absence of such experience,
qualifications, attributes and skills.
Board Structure and Oversight Function. Each Fund's Board is responsible for
oversight of that Fund. Each Fund has engaged the Adviser to manage the Fund on
a day-to-day basis. Each Board is responsible for overseeing the Adviser and
the Fund's other service providers in the operations of that Fund in accordance
with the Fund's investment objective and policies and otherwise in accordance
with its prospectus, the requirements of the 1940 Act and other applicable
Federal, state and other securities and other laws, and the Fund's charter and
bylaws. Each Board meets in-person at regularly scheduled meetings eight times
throughout the year. In addition, the Directors may meet in-person or by
telephone at special meetings or on an informal basis at other times. The
Independent Directors also regularly meet without the presence of any
representatives of management. As described below, each Board has established
four standing committees - the Audit, Governance and Nominating, Independent
Directors, and Fair Valuation Committees - and may establish ad hoc committees
or working groups from time to time, to assist the Board in fulfilling its
oversight responsibilities. Each committee is composed exclusively of
Independent Directors. The responsibilities of each committee, including its
oversight responsibilities, are described further below. The Independent
Directors have also engaged independent legal counsel, and may from time to
time engage consultants and other advisors, to assist them in performing their
oversight responsibilities.
An Independent Director serves as Chairman of each Board. The Chairman's duties
include setting the agenda for each Board meeting in consultation with
management, presiding at each Board meeting, meeting with management between
Board meetings, and facilitating communication and coordination between the
Independent Directors and management. The Directors have determined that a
Board's leadership by an Independent Director and its committees composed
exclusively of Independent Directors is appropriate because they believe it
sets the proper tone to the relationships between the Fund, on the one hand,
and the Adviser and other service providers, on the other, and facilitates the
exercise of the Board's independent judgment in evaluating and managing the
relationships. In addition, each Fund is required to have an Independent
Director as Chairman pursuant to certain 2003 regulatory settlements involving
the Adviser.
Risk Oversight. Each Fund is subject to a number of risks, including
investment, compliance and operational risks. Day-to-day risk management with
respect to a Fund resides with the Adviser or other service providers
(depending on the nature of the risk), subject to supervision by the Adviser.
Each Board has charged the Adviser and its affiliates with (i) identifying
events or circumstances, the occurrence of which could have demonstrable and
material adverse effects on the Fund; (ii) to the extent appropriate,
reasonable or practicable, implementing processes and controls reasonably
designed to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or
to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and
(iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously, and
to revise as appropriate, the processes and controls described in (i) and
(ii) above.
Risk oversight forms part of a Board's general oversight of a Fund's investment
program and operations and is addressed as part of various regular Board and
committee activities. Each Fund's investment management and business affairs
are carried out by or through the Adviser and other service providers. Each of
these persons has an independent interest in risk management but the policies
and the methods by which one or more risk management functions are carried out
may differ from the Fund's and each other's in the setting of priorities, the
resources available or the effectiveness of relevant controls. Oversight of
risk management is provided by the Board and the Audit Committee. The Directors
regularly receive reports from, among others, management (including the Global
Heads of Investment Risk and Trading Risk of the Adviser), a Fund's Senior
Officer (who is also a Fund's chief compliance officer), its independent
registered public accounting firm, counsel, and internal auditors for the
Adviser, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Fund and the Adviser's
risk management programs.
Not all risks that may affect a Fund can be identified, nor can controls be
developed to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. It may not be
practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, the
processes and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in
their effectiveness, and some risks are simply beyond the reasonable control of
the Fund or the Adviser, its affiliates or other service providers. Moreover,
it is necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to
achieve a Fund's goals. As a result of the foregoing and other factors a Fund's
ability to manage risk is subject to substantial limitations.
As of September 2, 2010, to the knowledge of management, the Directors and
officers of each Fund, both individually and as a group, owned less than 1% of
the shares
of any Fund except for AEIF, where none of the Directors own more than 1% of
shares but the Directors as a group, and the Directors and officers as a group,
own 1.1523%. Additional information related to the equity ownership of the
Directors in each of the Funds and the compensation they received from the
Funds is presented in Appendix B. During each Fund's most recently completed
fiscal year, the Fund's Directors as a group did not engage in the purchase or
sale of more than 1% of any class of securities of the Adviser or of any of its
parents or subsidiaries.
During the Fund's most recent fiscal year ended in 2009 or 2010, the Board of
ABS met 7 times; of ABSS met 6 times; of ABF met 6 times; of ACF met 6 times;
of ACOF met 7 times; of ACS met 8 times; of ADYF met 6 times; of AEIF met 7
times; of AEXR met 5 times; of AFIS met 6 times; of AGBF met 7 times; of AGGF

times; of AMIF met 8 times; of AMIF II met 7 times; of ASMCGF met 6 times; of
ABT met 8 times; and of TAP met 8 times. The Funds do not have a policy that
requires a Director to attend annual meetings of stockholders.
Each Fund's Board has four standing committees: an Audit Committee, a
Governance and Nominating Committee, an Independent Directors Committee, and a
Fair Value Pricing Committee. The members of the Committees are identified
above in the table listing the Directors. The function of the Audit Committee
is to assist the Board in its oversight of a Fund's financial reporting
process. During the Fund's fiscal year ended in 2009 or 2010, the Audit
Committee of ABS met 2 times; of ABSS met 2 times; of ABF met 2 times; of ACF
met 2 times; of ACOF met 2 times; of ACS met 4 times; of ADYF met 2 times; of
AEIF met 2 times; of AEXR met 2 times; of AFIS met 3 times; of AGBF met 4
times; of AGGF met 2 times; of AGREIF met 2 times; of AGTGF met 2 times; of
AGCF met 3 times; of AGIF met 2 times; of AHIF met 2 times; of AIGF met 2
times; of ALCGF met 2 times; of AMIF met 2 times; of AMIF II met 2 times; of
ASMCGF met 2 times; of ABT met 2 times; and of TAP met 2 times.
Each Fund's Board has adopted a charter for its Governance and Nominating
Committee, which is available at www.alliancebernstein.com (click on
AllianceBernstein Mutual Fund Investors then US then Investment Products/Mutual
Funds). Pursuant to the charter of the Governance and Nominating Committee, the
Committee assists each Board in carrying out its responsibilities with respect
to governance of a Fund and identifies, evaluates and selects and nominates
candidates for that Board. The Committee may also set standards or
qualifications for Directors and reviews at least annually the performance of
each Director, taking into account factors such as attendance at meetings,
adherence to Board policies, preparation for and participation at meetings,
commitment and contribution to the overall work of the Board and its
committees, and whether there are health or other reasons that might affect the
Director's ability to perform his or her duties. The Committee may consider
candidates as Directors submitted by a Fund's current Board members, officers,
investment adviser, stockholders and other appropriate sources.
The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider candidates submitted by a
stockholder or group of stockholders who have beneficially owned at least 5% of
a Fund's outstanding common stock or shares of beneficial interest for at least
two years prior to the time of submission and who timely provide specified
information about the candidates and the nominating stockholder or group. To be
timely for
consideration by the Committee, the submission, including all required
information, must be submitted in writing to the attention of the Secretary at
the principal executive offices of a Fund not less than 120 days before the
date of the proxy statement for the previous year's annual meeting of
stockholders or, if an annual meeting was not held in the previous year, all
required information must be received within a reasonable amount of time before
the Fund begins to print and mail its proxy materials. The Committee will
consider only one candidate submitted by such a stockholder or group for
nomination for election at an annual meeting of stockholders. The Committee
will not consider self-nominated candidates.
The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider and evaluate candidates
submitted by stockholders on the basis of the same criteria as those used to
consider and evaluate candidates submitted from other sources. These criteria
include the candidate's relevant knowledge, experience, and expertise, the
candidate's ability to carry out his or her duties in the best interests of the
Fund and the candidate's ability to qualify as an Independent Director. When
assessing a candidate for nomination, the Committee considers whether the
individual's background, skills, and experience will complement the background,
skills, and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the diversity
of the Board.
During the Fund's most recent fiscal year ended in 2009 or 2010, the Governance
and Nominating Committee of ABS met 4 times; of ABSS met 5 times; of ABF met 4
times; of ACF met 4 times; of ACOF met 4 times; of ACS met 4 times; of ADYF met
4 times; of AEIF met 4 times; of AEXR met 4 times; of AFIS met 4 times; of AGBF
met 4 times; of AGGF met 4 times; of AGREIF met 4 times; of AGTGF met 4 times;
of AGCF met 4 times; of AGIF met 4 times; of AHIF met 4 times; of AIGF met 4
times; of ALCGF met 4 times; of AMIF met 4 times; of AMIF II met 4 times; of
ASMCGF met 4 times; of ABT met 4 times; and of TAP met 4 times.
The function of each Fund's Fair Value Pricing Committee is to consider, in
advance if possible, any fair valuation decision of the Adviser's Valuation
Committee relating to a security held by a Fund made under unique or highly
unusual circumstances not previously addressed by the Adviser's Valuation
Committee that would result in a change in the Fund's net asset value ("NAV")
by more than $0.01 per share. The Fair Value Pricing Committee did not meet
during any Fund's most recently completed fiscal year.
The function of each Fund's Independent Directors Committee is to consider and
take action on matters that the Board or Committee believes should be addressed
in executive session of the Independent Directors, such as review and approval
of the Advisory, Distribution Services and Transfer Agency Agreements. During
the Fund's fiscal year ended in 2009 or 2010, the Independent Directors
Committee of ABS met 7 times; of ABSS met 6 times; of ABF met 6 times; of ACF
met 6 times; of ACOF met 7 times; of ACS met 7 times; of ADYF met 6 times; of
AEIF met 7 times; of AEXR met 5 times; of AFIS met 6 times; of AGBF met 6
times; of AGGF met 6 times; of AGREIF met 7 times; of AGTGF met 6 times; of
AGCF met 7 times; of AGIF met 7 times; of AHIF met 6 times; of AIGF met 7
times; of ALCGF met 6 times; of AMIF met 7 times; of AMIF II met 7 times; of
ASMCGF met 6 times; of ABT met 7 times; and of TAP met 7 times.
Each Board has adopted a process for stockholders to send communications to the
Board of their Fund. To communicate with a Board or an individual Director of a
Fund, a stockholder must send a written communication to that Fund's principal
office at the address listed in the Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of
Stockholders accompanying this Proxy Statement, addressed to the Board of that
Fund or the individual Director. All stockholder communications received in
accordance with this process will be forwarded to the Board or the individual
Director to whom or to which the communication is addressed.
Each Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote "FOR" each of the
nominees to serve as a Director of the applicable Fund. The election of each
nominee requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast.
PROPOSAL TWO
AMENDMENTS TO INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR CERTAIN FUNDS
A. AMENDMENTS TO INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR CERTAIN FUNDS TO CONFORM
FEE MEASUREMENT PERIODS
ACF--ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO ("ACF-SCG")
AGTGF
The Board considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation to amend each of
the investment advisory agreements for ACF-SCG and AGTGF (together, the
"Measurement Advisory Agreements"). The ACF-SCG Measurement Advisory Agreement
was initially approved by the Directors on September 27, 1971, but an amended
and restated Agreement, effective July 22, 1992, was approved by the Directors
on October 22, 1991 and by stockholders on June 11, 1992. The AGTGF Measurement
Advisory Agreement was initially approved by the Directors on December 22,
1981, but an amended and restated Agreement, effective July 22, 1992, was
approved by the Directors on October 22, 1991 and by stockholders on June 11,
1992. The standard investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and other
Funds provides that the advisory fee rate is calculated as a percentage of
average daily net assets. The Measurement Advisory Agreements vary from this
standard and provide that the fee rate is calculated as a percentage of net
assets at the end of the preceding calendar quarter. We are proposing an
amendment to the Measurement Advisory Agreements to provide that the advisory
fee rate will be calculated as a percentage of average daily net assets to
eliminate disparities between the contractual fee rate and the effective fee
rate that result from the calculation of the fee rate as of the end of each
preceding calendar quarter.
The fee calculation in the Measurement Advisory Agreements varies from the
current standard for historical reasons related to the initial approval dates
of the Measurement Advisory Agreements. The fee calculation was not changed
when the Measurement Advisory Agreements were subsequently amended and
restated. The Adviser recommended, and the Directors agreed, that the fee
calculation methodologies in the Measurement Advisory Agreements should be
conformed to the industry standard because it has become apparent due to, among
other things, recent fluctuations in Fund asset levels that variations in the
effective fee resulting solely from the method of calculating the fee are not
justified. The Directors concluded that the amendment would benefit the Funds
by eliminating unnecessary disparities in the Funds' advisory fees between the
contractual and effective rates. The change will also standardize the fee
calculations for the Funds and conform to current industry practice.
The standard fee rate currently in place for other Funds averages variations in
the net assets of a Fund so that a Fund's effective advisory fee is generally
equal to the contractual rate. In the case of ACF-SCG and AGTGF, however, the
calendar quarter measurement of the advisory fee results in effective fee rates
that may be higher or lower than, or equal to, the contractual fee rate due
solely to variations in net assets at the end of each calendar quarter. For
example, the contractual fee rate for both Funds is currently 0.75% but the
effective fee rate at the end of each of the last three fiscal years ending
July 31, 2008, July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2010, respectively, was 0.76%, 0.78%
and 0.75% for ACF-SCG and 0.73%, 0.73% and 0.74% for AGTGF. This historical
information illustrates differences in the fee rates resulting from the
calendar quarter measurement period. The effective fee rate for ACF-SCG was
higher than the contractual fee rate for the fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and the
effective fee rate for AGTGF was lower than the contractual fee rate for the
last three fiscal years. In addition, the effective fee rates may vary
significantly from calendar quarter end to calendar quarter end as shown in the
table below.
ACF-SCG
AS OF END OF 1ST AS OF END OF 2ND AS OF END OF 3RD AS OF END OF 4TH FYE
PERIOD QUARTER (3/30) QUARTER (6/30) QUARTER (9/30) QUARTER (12/30) (7/31)
------ ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ------
2008 0.72% 0.66% 0.52% 0.83% 0.76%
2009 0.88% 0.79% 0.80% 0.84% 0.78%
2010 0.87% 0.62% N/A N/A 0.75%
AGTGF
AS OF END OF 1ST AS OF END OF 2ND AS OF END OF 3RD AS OF END OF 4TH FYE
PERIOD QUARTER (3/30) QUARTER (6/30) QUARTER (9/30) QUARTER (12/30) (7/31)
------ ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ------
2008 0.71% 0.63% 0.46% 0.80% 0.73%
2009 0.86% 0.74% 0.80% 0.78% 0.73%
2010 0.82% 0.68% N/A N/A 0.74%
These differences are primarily due to changes in a Fund's net asset levels. In
the case of declining net assets, the effective fee rate would likely be lower
than the contractual fee rate, as is the case for AGTGF recently. ACF-SCG has
also experienced periods of declining net assets over recent periods, but not
as significantly as AGTGF, and has recently seen net asset levels increase,
resulting in its effective fee rate exceeding 0.75% in the fiscal years 2008
and 2009. If a Fund had a fairly stable level of net assets, it is likely that
the effective fee rate would be approximately the same as the contractual fee
rate.
If the proposed advisory fee rate had been in effect as of the Funds' recent
fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, the expense ratio for ACF-SCG's Class A shares
(and other Classes) would have been the same, but the expense ratio for AGTGF's
Class A shares would have increased from 1.55% to 1.56% with corresponding
changes for other Classes of AGTGF's shares.
Since the change to the measuring period could result in an effective advisory
fee that is higher than the current contractual advisory fee under certain
circumstances, we are requesting that the stockholders approve the proposed
amendments to the Measure-
ment Advisory Agreements. The proposed amendments would not affect any other
terms of the Measurement Advisory Agreements. More information about the
Adviser is included in the Funds' Statements of Additional Information, which
are available at www.alliancebernstein.com.
Approval of Proposal 2.A. requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a
"majority of the outstanding voting securities," of each Fund, as defined in
the 1940 Act, which means the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the voting
securities of the Fund present or represented by proxy if the holders of more
than 50% of the Fund's outstanding voting securities are present or represented
by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the
Fund ("1940 Act Majority Vote"). The Board, including the Independent
Directors, of each Fund unanimously recommends that the stockholders of each
Fund vote FOR Proposal 2.A.
B. AMENDMENT TO INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF TAP TO PERMIT REIMBURSEMENT TO
THE ADVISER OF CERTAIN ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
The Board considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation that the
investment advisory agreement of TAP (the "TAP Advisory Agreement") be amended.
The standard investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and other Funds
includes an investment advisory fee and also provides for the reimbursement to
the Adviser of the costs of certain non-advisory services that the Adviser
provides to the Fund at the request of the Fund. These reimbursable costs are
for personnel performing certain administrative services for the Funds,
including clerical, accounting, legal and other services ("administrative
services expenses"). The TAP Advisory Agreement does not provide for
reimbursement of the administrative services expenses that are provided to the
Portfolios of TAP as do the standard investment advisory agreements. The TAP
Advisory Agreement was initially approved by the Directors on February 16, 1993
and March 31, 1993. The TAP Advisory Agreement is different from most other
Funds' investment advisory agreements because the TAP Portfolios were acquired
from another fund complex without changes to the TAP Advisory Agreement upon
the acquisition. Implementation of the reimbursement provision for a Portfolio
will be subject to the approval of the Directors of TAP.
The proposed amendment would add a provision to the TAP Advisory Agreement
authorizing reimbursement to the Adviser of the administrative services
expenses. The Adviser's employees provide the same type of administrative
services to the TAP Portfolios as they do for other Funds but, under the TAP
Advisory Agreement, the Adviser receives no reimbursement for these
administrative services expenses. Reimbursement of expenses for administrative
services is a common arrangement in the fund industry. The reimbursement
obligation may be included in an investment advisory agreement or in a separate
agreement. The Directors concurred with the Adviser that the same type of
reimbursement arrangement for administrative services expenses should apply to
TAP as applies to the other Funds. The Directors concluded that the proposed
amendment was appropriate because it would permit the Adviser to be reimbursed
for its cost of providing non-advisory services that benefit the TAP Portfolios.
The following table shows for the fiscal year ended or the fiscal year to date
period ended July 31, 2010 each TAP Portfolio's current expense ratio for
Class A shares and the effect of the proposed amendment, if approved by
stockholders, on each Portfolio's expense ratio to three decimal points:
EXPENSE RATIO EXPENSE RATIO
WITHOUT INCLUDING
TAP PORTFOLIO REIMBURSEMENT REIMBURSEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AllianceBernstein Growth Fund (Fiscal Year End 7/31) 1.543% 1.551%
AllianceBernstein Balanced Wealth Strategy (Fiscal Year End 8/31) 0.996% 0.999%
AllianceBernstein Wealth Appreciation Strategy (Fiscal Year End 8/31) 1.114% 1.117%
AllianceBernstein Conservative Wealth Strategy (Fiscal Year End 8/31) 1.003% 1.010%
AllianceBernstein Tax-Managed Balanced Wealth Strategy (Fiscal Year
End 8/31) 1.113% 1.136%
AllianceBernstein Tax-Managed Wealth Appreciation Strategy (Fiscal
Year End 8/31) 1.049% 1.056%
AllianceBernstein Tax-Managed Conservative Wealth Strategy (Fiscal
Year End 8/31) 1.211% 1.256%
As the table indicates, the effect of the proposed amendment on the TAP
Portfolios' expense ratios is modest at current asset levels.
The Directors agreed with the Adviser's recommendation that it would be
appropriate for the TAP Advisory Agreement to be amended because it would apply
the same provisions to the TAP Portfolios relating to administrative services
expenses as those included in the advisory agreements for most other Funds. All
other provisions of the TAP Advisory Agreement would remain the same except for
certain minor conforming amendments. We are requesting a stockholder vote
because the amendment would result in an increase, as reflected above, in the
compensation paid to the Adviser under the TAP Advisory Agreement.
Approval of Proposal 2.B. requires a 1940 Act Majority Vote with respect to
each Portfolio of TAP. The Board, including the Independent Directors, of the
Fund unanimously recommends that the stockholders of each Portfolio of TAP vote
FOR Proposal 2.B.
PROPOSAL THREE
AMENDMENTS TO DECLARATIONS OF TRUST FOR CERTAIN FUNDS ORGANIZED AS
MASSACHUSETTS BUSINESS TRUSTS
AEXR, AMIF II, ABT
A. AMENDMENT OF DECLARATIONS
The Board considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation to amend the
Declarations of Trust (the "Declarations") of each of the Funds listed above,
which are organized as Massachusetts Business Trusts ("MBTs"). A stockholder
vote is required to amend the existing Declarations (the "Existing
Declarations") under certain circumstances. The proposed amendments to the
Existing Declarations (the "Amendments") would provide the Directors with broad
authority to amend the Declarations without a vote of stockholders. The
proposed Amendment to each Declaration is set forth below:
The Trustees may by vote of a majority of the Trustees then in office
amend or otherwise supplement the Declaration by making an amendment, a
Declaration supplemental hereto or an amended and restated Declaration.
The Amendment would replace Article VIII, Section 8 for the ABT Declaration in
its entirety and would replace certain portions of Section 9.3 for the AEXR and
AMIF II Declarations. The Declarations for AEXR and AMIF II will continue to
require the express consent of any affected stockholder or director for the
repeal of limitations on personal liability and prohibitions of assessment on
stockholders and will also continue to specify certain procedural requirements
relating to amendments to the Declarations.
By allowing future amendments of a Declaration without stockholder approval,
the Amendments would remove limits on the Directors' authority to take actions
that they believe would be in the best interests of the Funds. The Amendments
give the Directors the necessary authority and flexibility to react quickly to
changes in legal and regulatory conditions without the cost and delay of a
stockholder meeting when the Directors determine that the action is in the best
interests of the Funds.
The Funds are subject to comprehensive regulation under the 1940 Act and
Massachusetts law and a Board would still be required to submit a future
amendment to a Declaration to a vote of a Fund's stockholders if applicable law
were to require such a vote. Currently, Massachusetts law does not require a
stockholder vote on amendments to a declaration of trust unless the declaration
otherwise provides. In addition, Rule 17a-8 under the 1940 Act requires a
stockholder vote for combinations of affiliated funds where material changes to
a fund's fundamental policies, investment advisory agreement, board of
directors or distribution plan would result from the combination.
B. OTHER AMENDMENTS OF DECLARATIONS
In connection with approval of the Amendments, the Board considered and
approved the Adviser's recommendation to adopt certain other amendments to the
AEXR, AMIF II and ABT Declarations. These amendments will become effective only
if stockholders approve Proposal 3. The Directors could approve these
amendments after the Meetings if stockholders approve Proposal 3, but we want
stockholders to understand the other proposed amendments approved by the
Directors. These amendments are intended to enable the Directors to take
actions that would be in the
best interests of stockholders without the cost and delay of obtaining a
stockholder vote and to improve efficient administration of the Funds under the
Declarations.
Provisions of the Existing Declarations for these Funds require a stockholder
vote to approve a reorganization or merger of a Fund ("Reorganization
Provision") and, with respect to AEXR and AMIF II, termination of the trust
("Termination Provision") and liquidation of a series or class ("Liquidation
Provision"). The Directors approved amendments to the Reorganization Provision,
the Termination Provision and the Liquidation Provision that would eliminate
the stockholder vote requirement unless a stockholder vote is required by the
1940 Act or other applicable law. The stockholder vote requirement in the
Reorganization Provision, Termination Provision and Liquidation Provision was
historically included in the declarations of MBTs and is now uncommon.
Conforming amendments would also be made to sections of the relevant
Declarations that set forth the items for which stockholders have the power to
vote. These sections are Section 7.1 of the AEXR and AMIF II Declarations and
Article V, Section 1 of the ABT Declaration.
The Board also considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation that they
approve certain other administrative amendments to the Declarations as follows:
1. Quorum Requirements. The AEXR, AMIF II and ABT Declarations establish higher
quorum requirements for a stockholder meeting than those of many of the other
Funds. For AEXR and AMIF II, the quorum requirement is a majority of the shares
entitled to vote and, for ABT, the quorum requirement is 40% of the shares
entitled to vote. The higher quorum requirements may impede the conduct of a
stockholder meeting because action cannot be taken unless a quorum is present.
The Board considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation to amend the
quorum requirement to reduce it to 30% of the shares entitled to vote. A lower
quorum will reduce the likelihood of the expense and delay of adjourning a
meeting or resoliciting stockholders should a quorum not be present in person
or by proxy. The revised quorum requirement is similar to the quorum
requirements applicable to a majority of other Funds, which is one-third of the
shares entitled to vote. The Directors have also approved an amendment to the
Bylaws of AEXR and AMIF II in order to conform the quorum requirements to their
amended Declarations.
2. Record Date. The AEXR and AMIF II Declarations provide that the Directors
may set a record date not more than 60 days prior to the date of any
stockholder meeting. This record date period is shorter than the 90-day period
applicable to other Funds and may make it more difficult for the Funds to
timely deliver proxies to stockholders and solicit stockholder votes. The
Directors considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation for the
amendment of the record date requirement to authorize the Directors to set a
record date not more than 90 days prior to the date of a stockholder meeting.
3. Director Meetings. The AEXR and AMIF II Declarations require an annual
meeting of the Directors to be held not later than the last day of the fourth
month after the end of a Fund's fiscal year end. These provisions impose
unnecessary requirements upon the holding of Director meetings. The Board
considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation to approve amendments to
the Declarations to eliminate these provisions.
Approval of Proposal 3 with respect to each Fund requires the affirmative vote
of a majority of the shares entitled to vote. The Board, including the
Independent Directors, of each Fund unanimously recommends that the
stockholders of each Fund vote FOR Proposal 3.
PROPOSAL FOUR
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF CHARTERS FOR CERTAIN FUNDS ORGANIZED AS MARYLAND
CORPORATIONS
ABS, ABSS, ACF, ACOF, AEIF, AGREIF, AGTGF, AGCF, AGIF, AHIF, AIGF, ALCGF
Each Fund subject to this Proposal is organized as a Maryland corporation and
is subject to the Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL"). Under the MGCL, a
Fund is formed pursuant to a charter (each a "Charter") that sets forth various
provisions relating primarily to the governance of that Fund and powers of the
Fund to conduct business. Each Fund's Board has declared advisable and
recommends to the Fund's stockholders the amendment and restatement of the
Charter of that Fund. The Adviser advised the Board of each Fund that the
proposed amendments have two primary objectives. First, the Adviser believes,
and the Directors agree, that it is important to modernize and update the
Charters to take full advantage of the flexibility afforded by the provisions
of the MGCL, as they currently exist or may be changed in the future. Second,
stockholders of many of the other Funds approved the amendment and restatement
of their Charters in 2005 and the Adviser believes and the Directors agree that
it is beneficial for all of the Funds' Charters to be standardized so that
there are no differences among the Funds. In the past, the existence of
different Charter provisions has imposed burdens in administering the Funds
and, in some cases, limited the Board's authority to take actions that would
benefit that Fund and its stockholders.
Many of the amendments are technical amendments that are designed to allow a
Fund's Board to take full advantage of the provisions of the MGCL. Some of the
Funds are older Funds. Since their formation, law and industry practice have
changed significantly, and the Charters for these Funds contain significant
variations from the Charters of more recently organized Funds. Some provisions
of these Charters are now obsolete because they are regulated by the 1940 Act
or the MGCL and are no longer required in the Charters. Other provisions
conflict with, or permit activities prohibited by, law. For these reasons, the
Adviser recommended to the Boards the amendment and restatement of the Charters
as discussed below in order to modernize and standardize them, which will
facilitate a Board's ability to direct the management of the business and
affairs of a Fund as it deems advisable and in accordance with the Fund's best
interests. Each Board recommends that stockholders approve the amendment and
restatement of the Charter for their Fund.1 The amendment and restatement of
each Charter will be accomplished by repealing in their entirety all of the
existing Charter provisions and substituting in lieu thereof the new provisions
set forth in the Form of Articles of Amendment and Restatement (each a "New
Charter" and, together, the "New Charters") attached as Appendix C. A detailed
summary of the amendments is set forth below. If a stockholder of any Fund
would like a copy of the current Charter for that Fund, please write to
Kristine Antoja at AllianceBernstein L.P., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New
York, New York 10105.
--------
1 Some Funds are organized as series funds and they may have separate
portfolios that are regarded as separate investment companies under the 1940
Act. However, all portfolios of a Fund are governed by the same Charter and
stockholders of each series will vote on the proposed charter amendments.
Therefore, if approved by the stockholders, a New Charter (defined below)
will govern all of the portfolios operated by its Fund.
If approved, the New Charters will give a Board more flexibility and broader
authority to act than do the existing charters. This increased flexibility is
intended to allow the Directors to react more quickly to changes in competitive
and regulatory conditions and allow the Funds to operate in a more efficient
and economical manner.
While each of the New Charters of the Funds are generally the same (except for
variations with respect to authorization and classification of stock), as
explained above, some of the Funds' existing Charters are significantly
different. So, the actual provisions being repealed or amended will vary from
Fund to Fund. The proposed amendments to the Charters fall generally under four
broad categories: (i) series and class structure and related provisions;
(ii) stockholder voting provisions; (iii) mandatory and other redemption
provisions; and (iv) indemnification provisions. Certain of the older Funds
have additional categories. The following discusses the material changes for
the Funds within these broad categories and the additional categories,
discusses the Boards' recommendations as to each amendment, and identifies each
Fund for which an amendment is applicable.
A. SERIES AND CLASS STRUCTURE AND RELATED PROVISIONS
The Adviser recommended, and the Boards declared advisable, the proposed
amendments concerning the establishment and administration of series and
classes2 of the Funds' stock to update the Charters and to provide the Funds'
Boards with the broadest flexibility to act with respect to series or classes
of stock under the MGCL subject to the 1940 Act. The proposed amendments are as
follows:
. Provide for the automatic readjustment of the number of authorized shares
of a class or series of a Fund that are classified or reclassified into
shares of another class or series of the Fund. This change is
administrative and provides for automatic readjustment in the number of
shares in the charter where changes are made to one series or class.
All Funds.
. Clarify that the Directors have sole discretion to allocate the Fund's
general assets not otherwise identifiable as belonging to a particular
series or class to and among one or more series or classes and to provide
that any general assets allocated to a series or class will irrevocably
belong to that series or class.
All Funds.
. Provide that debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses of a series or
class are enforceable only with respect to that series or class and not
against the assets of a Fund generally.
All Funds.
. Provide that the Directors may establish a specified holding period prior
to the record date for stockholders to be entitled to dividends (deleting
for some Funds a requirement that such holding period may not exceed 72
hours) and to provide that dividends or distributions may be paid in-kind.
All Funds.
--------
2 If a Fund is a series fund, the stockholders of each portfolio own shares of
a specific series of stock. Stock of a specific series (or portfolio) may be
divided into more than one class of shares.
. Clarify that (i) debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses of a series
or class shall be charged to the assets of the particular series or class
and (ii) the Directors' determination with respect to the allocation of
all debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses is conclusive.
(i) All Funds except ABS and AGIF. (ii) Applicable only to ACF and AGTGF.
. Permit the Board discretion to provide for the automatic conversion of any
share class into any other share class to the extent disclosed in the
Fund's registration statement and permitted by applicable law and
regulations and replace, to the extent applicable, specific conversion
provisions with respect to a class or series.
All Funds except ABSS, ACOF, AGREIF and AGCF.
. Clarify that redeemed or otherwise acquired shares of stock of a series or
class shall constitute authorized but unissued shares of stock of that
series or class and, in connection with a liquidation or reorganization of
a series or class of a Fund in which outstanding shares of such class or
series are redeemed by the Fund, that all authorized but unissued shares
of such class or series shall automatically be returned to the status of
authorized but unissued shares of common stock, without further
designation as to series or class. This clarifying change would have no
practical effect on the operation of a Fund.
All Funds.
B. STOCKHOLDER VOTING PROVISIONS
The Adviser recommended, and the Boards declared advisable, proposed minor
changes to each Fund's voting provisions. These changes are intended to give
the Directors more flexibility in setting voting requirements consistent with
current MGCL provisions and the best interests of the Funds. These changes also
clarify quorum requirements at meetings for specific classes or series and for
a Fund as a whole. The proposed amendments are as follows:
. Permit, if approved by the Directors as to any matter submitted to
stockholders, a Fund to calculate the number of votes to which
stockholders are entitled to cast on such matter on the basis of the net
asset value of shares rather than on the basis of one vote for each share
outstanding. A Fund would be required to obtain exemptive relief from the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in order to calculate
stockholder votes entitled to be cast in this manner. This amendment would
permit the Funds to address circumstances in which there are large
disparities in net asset value per share among the series of a Fund
resulting in inequitable voting rights among the stockholders of the
various series in relation to the value of a stockholder's investment.
While the Funds do not currently intend to seek exemptive relief, if the
proposed amendment to the charter is approved, the Funds would be able to
rely upon such relief if it is ever requested and granted without any need
to seek stockholder approval of a charter amendment.
All Funds.
. Permit the Directors to determine that certain matters are subject to vote
only by a specific series or class of the Fund, rather than by all
stockholders of the Fund as a single class, for matters that are not
otherwise prescribed under the
1940 Act or other applicable law. The charters currently provide that
stockholders of a specific class will vote on issues pertaining only to
that class. This amendment is intended to clarify that the Directors may
make this determination of whether an issue pertains to a particular class
when it is not otherwise specified by law. In addition, the proposed
amendments would clarify that, where a separate class or series vote is
required, a quorum would be determined by the presence in person or by
proxy of the holders of shares of that series or class entitled to vote at
the meeting.
All Funds.
C. MANDATORY AND OTHER REDEMPTION PROPOSALS
The Adviser recommended, and the Boards declared advisable, the proposed
changes to give the Directors greater flexibility to determine when it is in
the best interests of a Fund to redeem shares or to impose fees upon
redemptions. For example, small accounts are costly for the Fund to maintain,
often at the expense of larger stockholders. Although the Directors have the
ability to set mandatory redemption amounts within the limits currently set
forth in the charters, the proposed change would provide the Directors with
maximum flexibility to set mandatory redemption amounts that are appropriate
for a Fund's circumstances as well as to determine the method and timing of
notice to stockholders. The Directors are expected to consider a recommendation
of the Adviser that they approve an increase in the mandatory redemption amount
for the Funds of $1,000, rather than the current $500, in the near term. In
addition, these amendments would permit a Board to cause a Fund to effect
mandatory redemptions for other purposes, such as for a reorganization or
liquidation of a Fund or one or more of its series or classes, which are
generally permitted by the MGCL to be undertaken without stockholder approval.
If these changes are adopted, upon approval by the Board, the typical
reorganization or liquidation will require only the stockholder approval
required under the 1940 Act, if any. The proposed amendments are as follows:
. Eliminate the specified dollar amount for mandatory redemptions included
in the charters.
All Funds.
. Provide the Board with the sole discretion to set a mandatory redemption
threshold for small accounts.
ABS, AGTGF and AGIF.
. Permit the mandatory redemption of an account if it is below the small
account threshold established by the Board (rather than only in the event
the account is below the threshold because of redemptions).
AGTGF.
. Eliminate the current stockholder notice requirement, which requires that
a Fund give 30 or 45 days' notice to stockholders prior to a mandatory
redemption.
All Funds except ABS and AGIF.
. Eliminate a cap on the minimum account amount for mandatory redemptions.
All Funds.
. Amend mandatory redemption provision to give the Board the authority to
redeem shares for other purposes permitted under the MGCL, such as
liquidations or reorganizations, subject to the requirements of the 1940
Act.
All Funds except ABS and AGIF.
For all Funds except ABS, ACOF, AGCF and AGREIF, the proposed amendments would
broaden the range of fees, which may currently include deferred sales charges
and/or redemption fees, that may be imposed at the time of redemption if
approved by the Board and consistent with applicable law. The amended
provisions would refer to "deferred sales charges, redemption fees or other
amounts" that may be imposed upon the redemption of shares. The Directors could
determine that a redemption fee to discourage market timing could be
appropriate for a Fund and the proposed amendments would give the Directors
maximum flexibility to impose such fees. Other amounts could include, for
example, stockholder transaction fees. This amendment would be made applicable
to all classes of shares. The proposed amendments would provide the Funds with
the flexibility to impose such fees, although the Adviser has no current
intention to recommend additional stockholder fees.
D. INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS
The charters of the Funds provide that, to the maximum extent permitted by
Maryland law and the 1940 Act, Directors and officers shall not be liable to a
Fund for money damages. Moreover, the charters or Bylaws of the Funds provide
that, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act,
Directors and officers shall be indemnified by the Funds and shall have
expenses advanced by the Funds. The proposed amendments to certain of the
charters would specifically provide that a Fund has the power to indemnify and
advance expenses to its Directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted
by the 1940 Act and the MGCL. The proposed amendments would also, among other
things:
. Clarify or provide that, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law
and the 1940 Act, a Fund has the power to obligate itself to indemnify and
advance expenses to a director or officer.
All Funds (new provision for ABS and AGIF).
. Allow a Fund, with approval of the Directors, to indemnify and advance
expenses to any person who served as a director for a predecessor of the
Fund in a capacity that may be indemnified under the Fund's charter.
All Funds.
. Prohibit retroactive changes to the indemnification provisions in a Fund's
Bylaws. (Similar non-retroactivity provisions already cover charter
provisions.)
All Funds except ABS and AGIF.
. Prohibit retroactive changes to the indemnification provisions in a Fund's
Charter or Bylaws.
ABS and AGIF.
. Vest in the Funds the power to indemnify and advance expenses to a Fund's
Directors and officers who, while serving as such for a Fund, also serve
at a
Fund's request in a like position of another enterprise and are subject to
liability by reason of their service in such capacity.
All Funds except AGTGF.
. Replace the specific 1940 Act limitations on indemnification and advance
of expenses in cases of willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, or
reckless disregard for duties with a general reference to limitations on
indemnification imposed under the 1940 Act.
All Funds except ABS, AGIF and AGTGF.
We are recommending these amendments because it is important for a Fund to be
able to indemnify and advance expenses to the maximum extent permitted by law
in order to promote efficient and effective management of the Fund. More
restrictive indemnification provisions may make it difficult to attract and
retain qualified Directors and officers notwithstanding the protective
provisions in the Funds' Bylaws and the fact that the Directors have the
benefit of insurance.
E. OTHER REVISIONS FOR SPECIFIC FUNDS
1. Corporate Purpose
The existing Charters of certain Funds enumerate a list of specific powers of
the Fund. Proposed changes would delete these provisions and each such Fund's
Charter would provide instead that the Fund shall have all powers permitted by
the MGCL. A Fund is not required to list specific powers in its Charter and
this specificity may hinder a Fund's operations and the Directors' flexibility
in determining appropriate actions for a Fund to undertake. The specific list
may restrict the Fund's ability to be competitive in the market without
incurring the cost and delay of a stockholder vote and to respond quickly to
regulatory developments to the detriment of the Fund. By providing a Fund with
all the powers permitted under the MGCL, the proposed amendments will give a
Fund and its Directors broader flexibility to administer and operate the Funds.
. Delete specific powers of a Fund, and provide instead that a Fund shall
have all powers conferred upon it or permitted by the MGCL.
ABS, ACF, AGIF and AGTGF.
2. Dividends and Distributions
Two of the Funds, ABS and AGIF, have various provisions relating to dividends
and distributions. Such provisions were presumably considered customary and
desirable when these Funds were formed in 1932, but they are now obsolete or
unnecessary. The proposed amendments would eliminate these and related
unnecessary provisions because the Funds' method and manner of making dividends
and distributions is regulated by the 1940 Act and federal tax law, as well as
applicable limitations on distributions under the MGCL. These changes would not
affect the Funds' current dividend policies.
. Delete provision that, in each fiscal year, the Fund shall distribute
approximately the amount of net cash income received by the Fund during
the fiscal year.
. Delete a provision giving the Directors discretion to distribute
additional dividends from any assets of a Fund legally available for
payment thereof.
. Delete a provision that requires a Board to sell all dividends and
distributions that are not cash dividends, such as shares of stock of a
company, received by a Fund on its investments and to credit the net cash
proceeds of such sale to cash income and distribute it to stockholders.
3. Class Provisions
Certain of the Funds have outdated provisions related to matters that are now
governed by the 1940 Act or exemptions thereto. These changes would not affect
the Funds' current investment policies. The proposed amendments would:
. Delete a provision giving the Board the authority to exclude the
designation of the shares of a class or series from the definition of a
"senior security" under the 1940 Act.
ACF.
. Delete a provision, as unnecessary, that permitted distribution to vary
from class to class for the purposes of complying with regulatory or
legislative requirements.
ACF and AGTGF.
4. Stockholder Voting Provision
Certain of the Funds' Charters are silent on the requirements for a quorum for
transaction of business at stockholders meeting. Recent changes to the MGCL
generally permit, when a charter is silent on the requirements for a quorum at
a stockholders meeting, the Bylaws of a Fund to establish the quorum
requirements. The Bylaws of each of ABS, AGIF and AGTGF generally provide that,
at any meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of
stockholders entitled to cast one-third of all the votes entitled to be cast at
such meeting on any matter shall constitute a quorum. The New Charters
establish quorum provisions that are consistent with the Bylaws of ABS, AGIF,
and AGTGF. The Adviser proposed, and the Board deemed advisable, that this
quorum requirement be added to these Funds' Charters. This is the same quorum
requirement included in most other Funds' Charters. The New Charters:
. Provide that the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares
entitled to cast one-third of the votes entitled to be cast would
constitute a quorum for a stockholder meeting.
5. Redemption Provisions
The proposed amendments would delete certain provisions relating to redemptions
of shares. These provisions are now unnecessary because the matters covered by
them are governed by Maryland law or the 1940 Act. The proposed amendments
would:
. Delete a provision terminating a stockholder's rights at the time a
redemption price has been determined with certain exceptions.
ABS, ACF, AGIF and AGTGF.
. Delete a provision that authorizes a Fund, upon Board approval, to buy
back shares at a price not exceeding net asset value by an agreement with
stockholders.
ABS, ACF, AGIF and AGTGF.
6. Board of Directors
The proposed amendments would provide that the minimum number of Directors for
a Fund shall be one and eliminate the maximum number of Directors. The minimum
number is currently specified as two or three Directors and the maximum as
twenty (applies to ACF and AGTGF). The proposed amendments would give the
Directors the flexibility to determine the number of Directors that are
appropriate for a Fund's Board based on the specific circumstances of the Fund.
The proposed amendments would also revise the general powers of the Board and
explicitly permit the Board to authorize the issuance of stock and other
securities without stockholder approval unless otherwise required by applicable
law. These amendments provide greater flexibility for the Directors to
determine appropriate actions for a Fund, especially to issue shares to the
extent permitted by the MGCL. These changes would not affect the management or
operation of the Funds. The New Charters:
. Provide that the minimum number of Directors for a Fund shall be one and
that the number of Directors may be fixed pursuant to the Bylaws.
ABS, ACF, AGIF and AGTGF.
. Expand or clarify that the general powers of a Board and explicitly permit
the Board to authorize the issuance of stock and other securities without
stockholder approval.
ABS, ACF, AGIF and AGTGF.
7. Interested Persons Provisions
The Charters for certain Funds currently permit contracts to provide services
between the Fund and interested persons of the Fund, including the Adviser.
Affiliated transactions are regulated under the 1940 Act rather than the MGCL.
These changes would not affect the Funds' transactions with interested or
affiliated persons, which will remain subject to regulations under the 1940
Act. The proposed amendments would eliminate the following provisions:
. Procedures that a Fund must follow to enter into a contract with an
affiliate.
ACF and AGTGF.
. Provision that permits interested persons to contract to provide services
for a Fund and provide indemnification with respect to the provision of
those services.
AGIF.
. Provisions that state that contracts with interested persons will not be
void if such interest is disclosed to the Board and that permit an
interested person to be counted towards a quorum for a vote to authorize
that contract.
ABS and AGIF.
Approval of Proposal 4 with respect to each Fund requires the affirmative vote
of the holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to
be cast. The Board, including the Independent Directors, of each Fund
unanimously recommends that the stockholders of each Fund vote FOR Proposal 4.
PROPOSAL FIVE
CHANGES TO FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES REGARDING COMMODITIES
ALL FUNDS (EXCEPT ABF-MULTI-ASSET INFLATION STRATEGY, ACF-MARKET NEUTRAL
STRATEGY-U.S. AND ACF-MARKET NEUTRAL STRATEGY-GLOBAL)
Section 8(b) of the 1940 Act requires a fund to disclose whether it has a
policy to engage in certain activities. Under the 1940 Act, these policies are
"fundamental" and may not be changed without a stockholder vote. The Board
considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation for the modification of
the fundamental commodities policies of the Funds.
The Funds' current fundamental commodities policies prohibit the purchase or
sale of commodities regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
("CFTC") under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA") except for futures contracts
and options on futures contracts. The Funds' fundamental commodities policies
reflected legal requirements in effect at the time the current policy was
adopted. The derivatives transactions regulated as commodities by the CFTC
under the CEA were futures and options on futures and options on physical
commodities. Swaps, including forward currency exchange contracts, were
specifically excluded from regulation by the CFTC.
As part of its recent financial reform initiative, Congress recently enacted
legislation that, among other things, amends the CEA to subject swaps,
including forward currency exchange contracts, to CFTC regulation. As a result,
the current commodities policy, which specifically refers to commodities
regulated by the CFTC, could potentially limit the Funds' flexibility to engage
in certain swaps and forward currency exchange contracts following the adoption
of regulations implementing the legislation. In order to clarify that the Funds
may continue to engage in the same derivatives transactions that they are
permitted to engage in today, regardless of whether a governmental agency may
regulate these instruments in the future, the Adviser recommended, and the
Directors approved, the following fundamental policy:
The Fund may purchase or sell commodities or options thereon to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
The proposed fundamental policy would make it clear that the Funds may continue
to engage in swaps, forward currency exchange contracts, as well as futures,
options on futures, and any other commodity or commodities contracts. The
Funds' investment in commodities will be reflected in investment policies
approved by the Directors and disclosed in a Fund's Prospectuses and SAIs. The
Adviser will continue to manage the Funds under the policies previously
approved by the Directors and the proposed amendments would not result in a
change to a Fund's risk exposure. The amended policy would permit Directors to
modify the Funds' investment policies to reflect changes in statutory and
regulatory requirements without incurring the time and expense of obtaining
stockholder approval to change the policy and avoid issues relating to any
future changes in the regulation of commodities.
Approval of Proposal 5 requires a 1940 Act Majority Vote with respect to each
Fund (or with respect to a Fund that has series, each Portfolio). The Board,
including the Independent Directors, of each Fund unanimously recommends that
the stockholders of each Fund vote FOR Proposal 5.
PROPOSAL SIX
RECLASSIFICATION OF FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES OF CERTAIN FUNDS
ABSS--U.S. LARGE CAP PORTFOLIO ("USLC")
AGCF
The Board considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation for the
reclassification of the investment objectives of the Funds listed above as
non-fundamental. The 1940 Act does not require the Funds' investment objectives
to be fundamental policies that are changeable only by a stockholder vote. This
proposal would give the Directors the flexibility to revise the Funds'
investment objectives to respond to changed market conditions or other
circumstances in a timely manner without the delay and expense of obtaining a
stockholder vote. We are not proposing to change the investment objectives.
USLC's investment objective is the same as the other AB Growth Funds, whose
investment objectives are not fundamental. AGCF's fundamental investment
objective requires it to invest at least 80% of its total assets in Greater
China companies. However, AGCF is subject to Rule 35d-1, the so-called "Names
Rule", which also requires it to have a policy to invest at least 80% of its
assets in securities of Greater China companies. While the Directors would have
the flexibility to change the 80% requirement in its investment objective, it
would still be required to have an 80% policy as long as its name included the
reference to Greater China.
As with other investment objectives, we will provide stockholders with advance
notice of not less than 60 days of any subsequent material change to a Fund's
investment objective.
Approval of Proposal 6 requires a 1940 Act Majority Vote with respect to each
Fund. The Board, including the Independent Directors, of each Fund unanimously
recommends that the stockholders of each Fund vote FOR Proposal 6.
Part III--Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms
Approval of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms by Board
The Board of each Fund, including a majority of the Directors who are not
"interested persons", has appointed Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as the
independent registered public accounting firm for the each Fund's current
fiscal year. E&Y has represented that it does not have any direct financial
interest or any material indirect financial interest in any of the Funds.
The Audit Committee of the Boards of each of ABS, ABSS, ACS, AEIF, AEXR, AGGF,
AGIF, AIGF, ALCGF, ASMCGF and TAP (the "Auditor Change Funds") approved the
dismissal of KPMG LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the
Auditor Change Funds (the "Prior Auditor") at a meeting held on March 24, 2010.
The Prior Auditor's reports on the financial statements of the Auditor Change
Funds for their last two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit
scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was
engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedures, which would have caused it to make reference to that
matter in connection with its reports for the Auditor Change Funds or
reportable events as described in paragraph (v) of Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation
S-K. The Auditor Change Funds have requested that the Prior Auditor furnish
them with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with
the above statements. A copy of the letter is attached as Appendix E and
similar letters will be filed as Exhibit 77 to the Auditor Change Funds' first
Form N-SAR filed following the Prior Auditor's dismissal.
Except for the Auditor Change Funds, E&Y has audited the accounts of each Fund
for the last two fiscal years.
Representatives of E&Y are expected to attend the Meeting, to have the
opportunity to make a statement and to respond to appropriate questions from
the stockholders. Representatives of the Prior Auditor are not expected to
attend the Meeting.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms' Fees
The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by the independent
registered public accounting firms for each Fund's last two fiscal years
(except for Funds that only recently commenced operations and have not yet
completed a fiscal year) for professional services rendered for: (i) the audit
of the Fund's annual financial statements included in the Fund's annual report
to stockholders; (ii) assurance and related services that are reasonably
related to the performance of the audit of the Fund's financial statements and
are not reported under (i), which include advice and education on accounting
and auditing issues, consent letters, and in the case of certain of the Funds,
include multi-class distribution testing; (iii) tax compliance, tax advice and
tax return preparation; and (iv) aggregate non-audit services provided to the
Fund, the Adviser and entities that control, are controlled by or under common
control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund ("Service
Affiliates"), which include conducting an annual internal control report
pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70. No other services were
provided to any Fund during this period.

Beginning with audit and non-audit service contracts entered into on or after
May 6, 2003, the Funds' Audit Committee policies and procedures require the
pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided to a Fund by the
Fund's independent auditors. A Fund's Audit Committee policies and procedures
also require pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided to the
Adviser and Service Affiliates to the extent that these services are directly
related to the operations or financial reporting of the Fund. Accordingly, all
of the amounts for Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees and Tax Fees in Table 1 are
for services pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
The amounts of the Fees for Non-Audit Services provided to the Fund, the
Adviser and Service Affiliates in Table 1 for each Fund that were subject to
pre-approval by the Audit Committee for 2008 and 2009 are presented below in
Table 2 (includes conducting an annual internal control report pursuant to
Statement on Accounting Standards No. 70). The Audit Committee of each Fund has
considered whether the provision of any non-audit services not pre-approved by
the Audit Committee provided by the Fund's independent auditors to the Adviser
and Service Affiliates is compatible with maintaining the auditors'
independence.

Part IV--Proxy Voting and Stockholder Meetings
All properly executed and timely received proxies will be voted at the Meeting
in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise provided
therein. Accordingly, unless instructions to the contrary are marked on the
proxies, the votes will be cast: (i) for the election of each of the nominees
as a Director for a Fund (Proposal One), (ii) for the amendment of the
Investment Advisory Agreements for certain of the Funds (Proposals Two A. and
B.), (iii) for the amendment of the Declarations of Trust for certain of the
Funds that are organized as Massachusetts Business Trusts (Proposal Three),
(iv) for the amendment and restatement of the Charters for certain of the Funds
that are organized as Maryland corporations (Proposal Four), (v) for the
amendment of certain of the Funds' fundamental policies regarding commodities
(Proposal Five) and (vi) for the reclassification of certain of the Funds'
fundamental investment objectives as non-fundamental (Proposal Six). If no
specification is made on a properly executed proxy, it will be voted for the
matters specified on the Proxy Card.
Those stockholders who hold shares directly and not through a broker or nominee
(that is, a stockholder of record) may authorize their proxies to cast their
votes by completing a Proxy Card and returning it by mail in the enclosed
postage-paid envelope as well as by telephoning toll free (866) 451-3783.
Owners of shares held through a broker or nominee (who is a stockholder of
record for those shares) should follow directions provided to the stockholder
by the broker or nominee to submit voting instructions. Instructions to be
followed by a stockholder of record to submit a proxy via telephone or through
the Internet, including use of the Control Number on the stockholder's Proxy
Card, are designed to verify stockholder identities, to allow stockholders to
give voting instructions and to confirm that stockholder instructions have been
recorded properly. Stockholders who authorize proxies by telephone or through
the Internet should not also return a Proxy Card. A stockholder of record may
revoke the stockholder's proxy at any time prior to exercise thereof by giving
written notice to the Secretary of the Funds at 1345 Avenue of the Americas,
New York, New York 10105, by authorizing a later-dated proxy (either by signing
and mailing another Proxy Card or by telephone or through the Internet, as
indicated above), or by personally attending and voting at the Meeting.
Properly executed proxies may be returned with instructions to abstain from
voting or to withhold authority to vote (an "abstention") or represent a broker
"non-vote" (which is a proxy from a broker or nominee indicating that the
broker or nominee has not received instructions from the beneficial owner or
other person entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to
which the broker or nominee does not have discretionary power to vote).
For all Funds, the approval of Proposal One requires the affirmative vote of a
plurality of the votes cast. The approvals of Proposals Two A. and B. require a
1940 Act Majority Vote for each of ACF-SCG, AGTGF, and the TAP Portfolios. The
approval of Proposal Three requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares entitled to vote for each of AEXR, AMIF II, and ABT. The approval of
Proposal Four requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled
to be cast for each of ABS, ABSS, ACF, ACOF, AEIF, AGCF, AGIF, AGTGF, AGREIF,
AHIF, AIGF, and ALCGF. The approval of Proposal Five requires a 1940 Act
Majority Vote for each of the Funds. The approval of Proposal Six requires a
1940 Act Majority Vote for each of ABSS--USLC and AGCF. Abstentions and broker
non-votes, if any, not being votes cast, will have no effect on the outcome of
Proposal One. With respect to Proposal Two, Proposal Three, Proposal Four,
Proposal Five and Proposal Six, an abstention or broker non-vote, if any, will
be considered present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum but
will have the effect of a vote against those proposals. If any matter other
than the proposals properly comes before the Meeting, the shares represented by
proxies will be voted on all such other proposals in the discretion of the
person or persons voting the proxies. The Funds have not received notice of,
and are not otherwise aware of, any other matter to be presented at the Meeting.
For most Funds, a quorum for the Meetings will consist of the presence in
person or by proxy of the holders of one-third of a Fund's shares entitled to
vote at the Meetings. With respect to AEXR and AMIF II, a quorum for the
Meetings will consist of the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a
majority of a Fund's shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the
Meetings. With respect to ABT, a quorum for the Meetings will consist of the
presence in person or by proxy of the holders of 40% of the Fund's shares
entitled to vote at the Meetings. With respect to ACS and TAP, a quorum for the
Meetings will consist of the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of
30% of a Fund's shares entitled to vote at the Meetings. In the event a quorum
is not present at the Meeting, or, even if a quorum is so present, if
sufficient votes in favor of the position recommended by the Board on any
Proposal described in the Proxy Statement are not timely received, the Chairman
of a Board may authorize, or the persons named as proxies may propose and vote
for, one or more adjournments of the Meeting up to 120 days after the record
date to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Meeting may be adjourned
with respect to fewer than all the Proposals in the Proxy Statement and a
stockholder vote may be taken on any one or more of the Proposals prior to any
adjournment if sufficient votes have been received for approval thereof. Shares
represented by proxies indicating a vote contrary to the position recommended
by a majority of the Board on a Proposal will be voted against adjournment as
to that Proposal.
The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the stockholders of the Funds
because the stockholders of all the Funds are to consider and vote on the
election of Directors. Stockholders of each Fund will vote separately on the
election of Directors for their Fund and on any other matter that may properly
come before the meeting for that Fund. An unfavorable vote by the stockholders
of one Fund will not affect the vote on the election of Directors or any other
matter by the stockholders of another Fund.
The Adviser has engaged Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"), 60
Research Road, Hingham, MA 02043, to assist in soliciting proxies for the
Meeting, including contacting stockholders by telephone or other electronic
means to solicit stockholders on behalf of the Funds. Broadridge will receive a
total fee of $1 million for its services, which will be borne by the Funds.
Other costs of the proxy solicitation will also be borne by the Funds.

powers conferred upon or permitted to corporations by the Maryland General
Corporation Law.
FOURTH: The post office address of the principal office of the
Corporation within the State of Maryland is 300 East Lombard Street, Baltimore,
Maryland 21202 in care of The Corporation Trust, Incorporated. The resident
agent of the Corporation in the State of Maryland is The Corporation Trust,
Incorporated, 300 East Lombard Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, a Maryland
corporation.
FIFTH: (1) The Corporation is authorized to issue [______]([______])
shares, all of which shall be Common Stock, $[______] par value per share (the
"Common Stock"), and having an aggregate par value of [______] dollars
($[______]), classified and designated as follows:
CLASS [__] CLASS [__] CLASS [__] CLASS [__]
NAME OF SERIES COMMON STOCK COMMON STOCK COMMON STOCK COMMON STOCK
----------------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[Portfolio] and any other portfolio hereafter established are each referred
to herein as a "Series." The Class [__________] Common Stock of a Series, the
Class [__________] Common Stock of a Series, the Class [__________] Common
Stock of a Series, the Class [__________] Common Stock of a Series and any
Class of a Series hereafter established are each referred herein as a "Class."
If shares of one Series or Class of stock are classified or reclassified into
shares of another Series or Class of stock pursuant to this Article FIFTH,
paragraph (2), the number of authorized shares of the former Series or Class
shall be automatically decreased and the number of shares of the latter Series
or Class shall be automatically increased, in each case by the number of shares
so classified or reclassified, so that the aggregate number of shares of stock
of all Series and Classes that the Corporation has
authority to issue shall not be more than the total number of shares of stock
set forth in the first sentence of this Article FIFTH, paragraph (1).
(2) The Board of Directors may classify any unissued shares of
Common Stock from time to time in one or more Series or Classes of stock. The
Board of Directors may reclassify any previously classified but unissued shares
of any Series or Class of stock from time to time in one or more Series or
Class of stock. Prior to issuance of classified or reclassified shares of any
Series or Class, the Board of Directors by resolution shall: (a) designate that
Series or Class to distinguish it from all other Series or Classes of stock of
the Corporation; (b) specify the number of shares to be included in the Series
or Class; (c) set or change, subject to the express terms of any Series or
Class of stock of the Corporation outstanding at the time, the preferences,
conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of
redemption for each Series or Class; and (d) cause the Corporation to file
articles supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of
Maryland ("SDAT"). Any of the terms of any Series or Class of stock set or
changed pursuant to clause (c) of this paragraph (2) may be made dependent upon
facts or events ascertainable outside the charter of the Corporation (the
"Charter"), including determinations by the Board of Directors or other facts
or events within the control of the Corporation, and may vary among holders
thereof, provided that the manner in which such facts, events or variations
shall operate upon the terms of such Series or Class of stock is clearly and
expressly set forth in the articles supplementary or other charter document
filed with the SDAT.
(3) As more fully set forth hereafter, the assets and liabilities
and the income and expenses of each Series or Class of the Corporation's stock
shall be determined separately from those of each other Series or Class of the
Corporation's stock and, accordingly, the net asset value, the dividends and
distributions payable to holders, and the amounts distributable in the event of
liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation to holders of shares of the
Corporation's stock may vary from Series to Series or Class to Class. In the
event that there are any assets, income, earnings, profits or proceeds which
are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular series
(collectively, "General Assets"), such General Assets shall be allocated by or
under the direction of the Board of Directors to and among one or more Series
and Classes in such a manner and on such basis as the Board of Directors in its
sole discretion shall determine.
(4) Except as otherwise provided herein, all consideration
received by the Corporation for the issuance or sale of shares of a Series or
Class of the Corporation's stock, together with all funds derived from any
investment and reinvestment thereof and any General Assets allocated to such
Series or Class, shall irrevocably belong to that Series or Class for all
purposes, subject only to any automatic conversion of one Series or Class of
stock into another, as hereinafter provided for, and to the rights of creditors
of such Series or Class, and shall be so recorded upon the books of account of
the Corporation, and are herein referred to as "assets belonging to" such
Series or Class.
(5) The assets belonging to each Series or Class shall be charged
with the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred or contracted
for or otherwise existing with respect to such Series or Class and with such
Series' or Class' share of the general liabilities of the Corporation, in the
latter case in the proportion that the net asset value of such Series or Class
bears to the net asset value of all Series and Classes or as otherwise
determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with applicable law. The
determination of the Board of Directors shall be conclusive as to the
allocation of debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses, including accrued
expenses and reserves, to a Series or Class. The debts, liabilities,
obligations and expenses incurred or contracted for or otherwise existing with
respect to a Series or Class are enforceable with respect to that Series or
Class only and not against the assets of the Corporation generally or any other
Series or Class of stock of the Corporation.
(6) The assets attributable to the Classes of a Series shall be
invested in the same investment portfolio of the Corporation, and
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of paragraphs (4) and (5) of this
Article FIFTH, the allocation of investment income and realized and unrealized
capital gains and losses and expenses and liabilities of the Corporation and of
any Series among the Classes of Common Stock of each Series shall be determined
by the Board of Directors in a manner that is consistent with the Investment
Company Act of 1940, the rules and regulations thereunder, and the
interpretations thereof, in each case as from time to time amended, modified or
superseded (the "Investment Company Act"). The determination of the Board of
Directors shall be conclusive as to the allocation of investment income and
realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, expenses and liabilities,
including accrued expenses and reserves, and assets to one or more particular
Series or Classes.
(7) Shares of each Class of stock shall be entitled to such
dividends or distributions, in cash, property or additional shares of stock or
the same or another Series or Class, as may be authorized from time to time by
the Board of Directors (by resolution adopted from time to time, or pursuant to
a standing resolution or resolutions adopted only once or with such frequency
as the Board of Directors may determine, after providing that such dividend or
distribution shall not violate Section 2-311 of the Maryland General
Corporation Law) and declared by the Corporation with respect to such Class.
The nature of in-kind property distributions may vary among the holders of a
Class or Series, provided that the amount of the distribution per share, as
determined by the Board of Directors, shall be equivalent for all holders of
such Class or Series. Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the dividends and distributions of investment income and capital
gains with respect to the different Series and with respect to the Class may
vary with respect to each such Series and Class to reflect differing
allocations of the expenses of the Corporation and the Series among the holders
of such Classes and any resultant differences between the net asset values per
share of such Classes, to such extent and for such purposes as the Board of
Directors may deem appropriate. The Board of Directors may determine that
dividends may be payable only with respect to those shares of stock that have
been held of record continuously by the stockholder for a specified period
prior to the record date of the date of the distribution.
(8) Except as provided below, on each matter submitted to a vote
of the stockholders, each holder of stock shall be entitled to one vote (1) for
each share standing in such stockholder's name on the books of the Corporation
or (2) if approved by the Board of Directors and pursuant to the issuance of an
exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, for each dollar of
net asset value per share of a Class or Series, as applicable. Subject to any
applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act, or other applicable law,
all holders of shares of stock shall vote as a single class except with respect
to any matter which the Board of Directors shall have determined affects only
one or more (but less than all) Series or Classes of stock, in which case only
the holders of shares of the Series or Classes affected shall be entitled to
vote. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to any
applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act, or other applicable law,
the holders of each of the Classes of each Series shall have, respectively,
with respect to any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders (i) exclusive
voting rights with respect to any such matter that only affects the Series or
Class of Common Stock of which they are holders, including, without limitation,
the provisions of any distribution plan adopted by the Corporation pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act (a "Plan") with respect to the
Class of which they are holders and (ii) no voting rights with respect to the
provisions of any Plan that affects one or more of such other Classes of Common
Stock, but not the Class of which they are holders, or with respect to any
other matter that does not affect the Class of Common Stock of which they are
holders.
(9) In the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the
Corporation, stockholders of each Class of the Corporation's stock shall be
entitled to receive, as a Class, out of the assets of the Corporation available
for distribution to stockholders, but other than
General Assets not attributable to any particular Class of stock, the assets
attributable to the Class less the liabilities allocated to that Class; and the
assets so distributable to the stockholders of any Class of stock shall be
distributed among such stockholders in proportion to the number of shares of
the Class held by them and recorded on the books of the Corporation. In the
event that there are any General Assets not attributable to any particular
Class of stock, and such assets are available for distribution, the
distribution shall be made to the holders of all Classes of a Series in
proportion to the net asset value of the respective Classes or as otherwise
determined by the Board of Directors.
(10)(a) Each holder of stock may require the Corporation to redeem
all or any shares of the stock owned by that holder, upon request to the
Corporation or its designated agent, at the net asset value of the shares of
stock next determined following receipt of the request in a form approved by
the Corporation and accompanied by surrender of the certificate or certificates
for the shares, if any, less the amount of any applicable redemption charge,
deferred sales charge, redemption fee or other amount imposed by the Board of
Directors (to the extent consistent with applicable law). The Board of
Directors may establish procedures for redemption of stock.
(b) The proceeds of the redemption of a share (including a
fractional share) of any Class of capital stock of the Corporation shall be
reduced by the amount of any contingent deferred sales charge, redemption fee
or other amount payable on such redemption pursuant to the terms of issuance of
such share.
(c) Subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act, the
Board of Directors may cause the Corporation to redeem at net asset value all
or any proportion of the outstanding shares of any Series or Class from a
holder (1) upon such conditions with respect to the maintenance of stockholder
accounts of a minimum amount as may from time to time be established by the
Board of Directors in its sole discretion or (2) upon such conditions
established by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, for any other
purpose, including, without limitation, a reorganization pursuant to the
Investment Company Act.
(d) Payment by the Corporation for shares of stock of the
Corporation surrendered to it for redemption shall be made by the Corporation
within seven days of such surrender out of the funds legally available
therefor, provided that the Corporation may suspend the right of the
stockholders to redeem shares of stock and may postpone the right of those
holders to receive payment for any shares when permitted or required to do so
by applicable statutes or regulations. Payment of the aggregate price of shares
surrendered for redemption may be made in cash or, at the option of the
Corporation, wholly or partly in such portfolio securities of the Corporation
as the Corporation shall select.
(e) Subject to the following sentence, shares of stock of any
Series and Class of the Corporation which have been redeemed or otherwise
acquired by the Corporation shall constitute authorized but unissued shares of
stock of such Series and Class. In connection with a liquidation or
reorganization of any Series or Class in which all of the outstanding shares of
such Series or Class are redeemed by the Corporation, upon any such redemption
all such shares and all authorized but unissued shares of the applicable Series
or Class shall automatically be returned to the status of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock, without further designation as to Series or
Class.
(11) At such times as may be determined by the Board of Directors
(or with the authorization of the Board of Directors, by the officers of the
Corporation) in accordance with the Investment Company Act and applicable rules
and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and from time to
time reflected in the registration statement of the Corporation (the
"Corporation's Registration Statement"), shares of a particular Series or Class
of stock of the Corporation or certain shares of a particular Class of stock of
any Series of the Corporation may be automatically converted into shares of
another
Class of stock of such Series of the Corporation based on the relative net
asset values of such Classes at the time of conversion, subject, however, to
any conditions of conversion that may be imposed by the Board of Directors (or
with the authorization of the Board of Directors, by the officers of the
Corporation) and reflected in the Corporation's Registration Statement. The
terms and conditions of such conversion may vary within and among the Classes
to the extent determined by the Board of Directors (or with the authorization
of the Board of Directors, by the officers of the Corporation) and set forth in
the Corporation's Registration Statement.
(12) Pursuant to Article SEVENTH, paragraph (1)(d), upon a
determination of the Board of Directors that the net asset value per share of a
Class shall remain constant, the Corporation shall be entitled to declare and
pay and/or credit as dividends daily the net income (which may include or give
effect to realized and unrealized gains and losses, as determined in accordance
with the Corporation's accounting and portfolio valuation policies) of the
Corporation attributable to the assets attributable to that Class. If the
amount so determined for any day is negative, the Corporation shall be
entitled, without the payment of monetary compensation but in consideration of
the interest of the Corporation and its stockholders in maintaining a constant
net asset value per share of that Class, to redeem pro rata from all the
holders of record of shares of that class at the time of such redemption (in
proportion to their respective holdings thereof) sufficient outstanding shares
of that Class, or fractions thereof, as shall permit the net asset value per
share of that Class to remain constant.
(13) The Corporation may issue shares of stock in fractional
denominations to the same extent as its whole shares, and shares in fractional
denominations shall be shares of stock having proportionately to the respective
fractions represented thereby all the rights of whole shares, including,
without limitation, the right to vote, the right to receive dividends and
distributions, and the right to participate upon liquidation of the
Corporation, but excluding any right to receive a stock certificate
representing fractional shares.
(14) No stockholder shall be entitled to any preemptive right
other than as the Board of Directors may establish.
(15) The rights of all stockholders and the terms of all stock are
subject to the provisions of the Charter and the Bylaws.
SIXTH: The number of directors of the Corporation shall be [________].
The number of directors of the Corporation may be changed pursuant to the
Bylaws of the Corporation. The names of the individuals who shall serve as
directors of the Corporation until the next annual meeting of stockholders and
until their successors are duly elected and qualify are:
[________________].
SEVENTH: The following provisions are inserted for the purpose of
defining, limiting and regulating the powers of the Corporation and of the
Board of Directors and stockholders.

granted under the Charter, by law or otherwise, the Board of Directors of the
Corporation:
(a) has the exclusive power to make, alter, amend or repeal the
Bylaws of the Corporation;
(b) subject to applicable law, may from time to time determine
whether, to what extent, at what times and places, and under what conditions

shall be open to the inspection of the stockholders, and no stockholder shall
have any right to inspect any account, book or document of the Corporation
except as conferred by statute or as authorized by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation;
(c) is empowered to authorize, without stockholder approval, the
issuance and sale from time to time of shares of stock of any Series or Class

convertible into shares of stock of the Corporation of any Series or Class,
whether now or hereafter authorized, for such consideration as the Board of
Directors may deem advisable;
(d) is authorized to adopt procedures for determination of and to
maintain constant the net asset value of shares of any Class or Series of the
Corporation's stock.
(2) Notwithstanding any provision of the Maryland General
Corporation Law requiring a greater proportion than a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast by holders of shares of all Series or Classes, or any
Series or Class, of the Corporation's stock in order to take or authorize any
action, any such action may be taken or authorized upon the concurrence of
holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of the aggregate number of votes
entitled to be cast thereon, subject to any applicable requirements of the
Investment Company Act.
(3) The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares
entitled to cast one-third of the votes entitled to be cast (without regard to
Series or Class) shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders,
except with respect to any matter which, under applicable statutes, regulatory
requirements or the Charter, requires approval by a separate vote of one or
more Series or Classes of stock, in which case the presence in person or by
proxy of the holders of shares entitled to cast one-third of the votes entitled
to be cast by holders of shares of each Series or Class entitled to vote as a
Series or Class on the matter shall constitute a quorum.
(4) Any determination made in good faith by or pursuant to the
direction of the Board of Directors, as to the amount of the assets, debts,
obligations, or liabilities of the Corporation, as to the amount of any
reserves or charges set up and the propriety thereof, as to the time of or
purpose for creating such reserves or charges, as to the use, alteration or
cancellation of any reserves or charges (whether or not any debt, obligation,
or liability for which such reserves or charges shall have been created shall
be then or thereafter required to be paid or discharged), as to the value of or
the method of valuing any investment owned or held by the Corporation, as to
market value or fair value of any investment or fair value of any other asset
of the Corporation, as to the allocation of any asset of the Corporation to a
particular Class or Classes of the Corporation's stock, as to the charging of
any liability of the Corporation to a particular Class or Classes of the
Corporation's stock, as to the number of shares of the Corporation outstanding,
as to the estimated expense to the Corporation in connection with purchases of
its shares, as to the ability to liquidate investments in orderly fashion, or
as to any other matters relating to the issue, sale, redemption or other

be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Corporation and all
holders of its shares, past, present and future, and shares of the Corporation
are issued and sold on the condition and understanding that any and all such
determinations shall be binding as aforesaid.
EIGHTH: (1) To the maximum extent that Maryland law in effect from time
to time permits limitation of the liability of directors and officers of a
corporation, no present or former director or officer of the Corporation shall
be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for money damages.
(2) The Corporation shall have the power, to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, to obligate itself to
indemnify, and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final
disposition of a proceeding to, (a) any individual who is a present or former
director or officer of the Corporation or (b) any individual who, while a
director or officer of the Corporation and at the request of the Corporation,
serves or has served as a director, officer, partner or trustee of another
corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan
or any other enterprise from and against any claim or liability to which such
person may become subject or which such person may incur by reason of his
status as a present or former director or officer of the Corporation. The
Corporation shall have the power, with the approval of the Board of Directors,
to provide such indemnification and advancement of expenses to a person who
served a predecessor of the Corporation in any of the capacities described in
(a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent of the Corporation or a
predecessor of the Corporation.
(3) The provisions of this Article EIGHTH shall be subject to the
limitations of the Investment Company Act.
(4) Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article EIGHTH, nor
the adoption or amendment of any other provision of the Charter or Bylaws
inconsistent with this Article EIGHTH, shall apply to or affect in any respect
the applicability of the preceding sections of this Article EIGHTH with respect
to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or
adoption.
NINTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or
repeal any provision contained in its Charter in the manner now or hereafter

APPENDIX E--LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
September 15, 2010
Securities and Exchange Commission
Washington, D.C. 20549
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We were previously principal accountants for the AllianceBernstein Funds listed
in Exhibit A (the "Auditor Change Funds") and, under the respective dates
listed in Exhibit A, we reported on the financial statements of each of the
Auditor Change Funds as of and for the corresponding year-ends listed in
Exhibit A. On April 14, 2010, we were dismissed. We have read the statements
included under the section titled "Approval of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firms by Board" within the Proxy Statement for the AllianceBernstein
Funds dated September 21, 2010, and we agree with such statements, except that
we are not in a position to agree or disagree with the statement that the Audit
Committee of the Boards of each of the Auditor Change Funds approved the
dismissal of KPMG LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the
Auditor Change Funds at a meeting held on March 24, 2010, and we are not in a
position to agree or disagree with any of the statements regarding Ernst &
Young LLP.
Very truly yours,
/s/ KPMG LLP
