Dear Shareholder,
This is an important notice regarding your AB International Value mutual fund account.
AB mutual fund shareholders have been asked to consider the approval of the continuation of existing investment advisory agreements for all AB funds.Approval of the continuation of the agreements by shareholder vote is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940.
While shareholder votes received to date have been overwhelmingly in favor of the continuation of the advisory agreements across all AB funds, there have simply not been enough votes cast by shareholders of the AB International Value Fund to meet regulatory minimums. Fortunately, the deadline for voting has been extended.
To avoid any disruption in the operation of the fund, including its potential liquidation, it is imperative that the required number of votes be cast by the Shareholder Meeting date of June 4th.
The Fund has made it very easy for you to vote. Our proxy tabulation firm, Broadridge, offers several voting methods as detailed below.
Thank you in advance for your participation and support.
Sincerely,
ROBERT M. KEITH
PRESIDENT OF ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN FUNDS
