Other Events.

On July 26, 2005, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) notified Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC (“SCB LLC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliance Capital Management L.P. (“Alliance Capital”), and an SCB LLC research analyst that the NASD enforcement staff was considering recommending that proceedings be commenced against SCB LLC and the analyst (this notification typically is called a “Wells Notice”). The analyst had written research reports that announced the suspension of SCB LLC’s and the analyst’s coverage of certain securities, and the analyst subsequently sold personal holdings in the same securities.  Prior to joining SCB LLC, the analyst received the securities as compensation while employed by the issuers of those securities.  The NASD claims that SCB LLC and the analyst violated NASD rules that restrict personal trading by research analysts.  SCB LLC has reached an agreement in principle with the NASD to resolve any claims involving SCB LLC, and Alliance Capital has recorded a $350,000 charge against third quarter 2005 earnings in connection therewith.  Claims involving the analyst have not been resolved.

On July 26, 2005, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”) gave a Wells Notice to each of approximately 20 member firms, including SCB LLC, claiming that the firms violated NYSE rules by failing to properly identify certain short sale transactions as short sales in Electronic Blue Sheet submissions.  For SCB LLC, the Wells Notice relates to submissions in 2003 and prior periods affected by a coding problem in an electronic reporting system.  That problem was corrected in September 2003, shortly after it was identified.  Since that time, SCB LLC believes that it has been operating in compliance with NYSE regulations relating to Electronic Blue Sheet submissions.  On September 26, 2005, SCB LLC entered into a Stipulation of Facts and Consent to Penalty with the NYSE, which has been submitted to an NYSE hearing panel for approval.  Alliance Capital has recorded a $150,000 charge against third quarter 2005 earnings in connection with this matter.

On September 16, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) gave a Wells Notice to Alliance Capital claiming that Alliance Capital aided and abetted violations of Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the Alliance All-Market Advantage

Fund and the Spain Fund.  Section 19(a) requires disclosure of the character (e.g., return of capital) of dividend distributions by investment companies and the Wells Notice alleged that these funds did not provide the required disclosure.  The funds revised their dividend disclosures in 2004 in response to the SEC’s review of this matter and Alliance Capital believes the disclosures now fully comply with the requirements of Section 19(a).  Alliance Capital has reached an agreement in principle with the SEC to resolve this matter, and Alliance Capital has recorded a $450,000 charge against third quarter 2005 earnings in connection therewith.
