Annual Report

This report provides management’s discussion of fund performance for AllianceBernstein International Growth Fund (the “Fund”) for the annual reporting period ended June 30, 2009. On May 8, 2008, the Boards of Directors (the “Boards”) of the Fund and AllianceBernstein International Research Growth Fund (“International Research Growth”) approved a proposal for the Fund to acquire International Research Growth. In connection with the acquisition, on July 25, 2008, all of International Research Growth’s assets and liabilities were transferred to the Fund, and stockholders of International Research Growth received shares of the Fund in exchange for their shares of the corresponding class of International Research Growth. The acquisition did not require approval of the Fund’s stockholders or International Research Growth’s stockholders.

Investment Objective and Policies

The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests primarily in an international portfolio of equity securities of companies within various market sectors selected by AllianceBernstein L.P. (the “Adviser”) for their growth potential. Research-driven stock selection is expected to be the primary driver of returns relative to the Fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country (AC) World (ex-US) Index (net and gross), and other decisions, such as country allocation, are generally the result of the stock selection process.

Examples of the types of market sectors in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to, telecommunications, information technology, health care, financial services, infrastructure, energy and natural resources, and consumer growth. Within each sector, senior sector analyst-managers apply a research driven, bottom-up stock selection process using the Adviser’s proprietary research to identify attractive companies. The Adviser relies heavily upon the fundamental and quantitative analysis of its large internal research staff. The Adviser looks for companies whose prospective earnings growth is not fully reflected in current market valuations.

The Adviser places research emphasis on identifying companies whose prospective earnings growth potential appears likely to outpace market expectations. In consultation with the senior sector analysts, the Adviser’s International Growth Portfolio Oversight Group (the “Group”) is responsible for the construction of the portfolio. The senior sector analysts and the Group allocate the Fund’s investments among the selected market sectors based on the fundamental company research conducted by the Adviser’s large internal research staff, assessing the current and forecasted investment opportunities and conditions, as well as diversification and risk considerations. Given the emphasis on bottom-up stock selection, the senior sector analysts and the Group may vary the percentage allocation to each sector and may, on occasion, change the market sec-

ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND  • 1

tors in which the Fund invests as companies’ potential for growth within a sector matures and new trends for growth emerge.

The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, in the equity securities of companies located in at least three countries (and normally substantially more) other than the United States. The Fund invests in securities of companies in both developed and emerging market countries. Geographic distribution of the Fund’s investments among countries or regions also will be a product of the stock selection process rather than a pre-determined allocation. The Fund may also invest in synthetic foreign equity securities. The Adviser expects that normally the Fund’s portfolio will tend to emphasize investments in larger capitalization companies, although the Fund may invest in smaller or medium capitalization companies. The Fund normally invests in approximately 100-130 companies.

Currencies can have a dramatic impact on equity returns, significantly adding to returns in some years and greatly diminishing them in others. Currency and equity positions are evaluated separately. The Adviser may seek to hedge the currency exposure resulting from securities positions when it finds the currency exposure unattractive. To hedge a position of its currency risk, the Fund may from time to time invest in currency-related derivatives, including forward currency exchange contracts, futures, options on futures, swaps and options. The Adviser may also seek investment opportunities by

taking long or short positions in currencies through the use of currency-related derivatives.

Investment Results

The table on page 7 provides the performance results for the Fund and its primary benchmark, the MSCI AC World (ex-US) Index (net and gross). Also included are returns for the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the MSCI World (ex-US) Index (net) for the six- and 12-month periods ended June 30, 2009.

The Fund’s Class A shares without sales charges underperformed both benchmarks for the six- and 12-month periods ended June 30, 2009. For the 12-month reporting period, both the Fund and the benchmarks posted negative returns. The Fund’s underperformance was due primarily to stock selection, as its procyclical materials stocks were sold aggressively toward the end of 2008, when investors began to discount the prospect of recession. The Fund’s holdings in the materials, energy and utilities sectors suffered as a consequence, but this was partially offset by the Fund’s holdings in defensive sectors like consumer staples, technology and telecommunications, which benefited from the flight to safety.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares without sales charges underperformed the benchmarks, but by a lesser degree. The last three months of the reporting period saw a marked shift in market sentiment, as investors became encouraged that a global

2 •  ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

recovery might be imminent. Cyclical stocks in the financials, industrials, consumer discretionary and materials sectors performed well as a result. The Fund benefited from solid stock selection in financials and materials, but below-benchmark sector weights in these two sectors offset their positive performance.

By definition, the Fund focuses on growth stocks and growth factors that were not fully rewarded during the recent value-centric period. Underperformance in general was the result of weak stock selection across most sectors, but most significantly in energy, consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology. In addition, a large underweight position in the strongly performing financials sector and an overweight in health care worked against the Fund. The Fund did not employ leverage for the six- or 12-month periods.

Market Review and Investment Strategy

Relief swept through markets in the second quarter of 2009, as it seemed as if the worst of the economic free fall might be over. Doomsday scenarios began to recede, and investors were rewarded with a strong rally in global markets. This was in sharp contrast to the second half of 2008, and the first two months of 2009, when investors expected the worst.

During the last three months of the annual period ended June 30, 2009, many investors reversed course and snapped up the very stocks they had recently shunned—value stocks,

smaller capitalization companies and those with weaker balance sheets. Growth stocks underperformed as value stocks dominated. The turnabout reflected growing investor confidence that many companies, which had recently seemed to be on the brink of annihilation, would survive. Some investors treated these stocks as relatively inexpensive options during an economic recovery, and purchased them.

The Group believes that if credit markets continue to thaw, causing debt issuance surges and credit spreads to narrow, economic growth will begin to resume in 2010. Therefore, while maintaining the Group’s disciplined approach, it has increased the Fund’s exposure to cyclical investments that may outperform in the early stages of an economic and market recovery. The Fund’s exposure tends to be concentrated in those companies that the Group believes have sound growth fundamentals.

The current investment climate appears to be a promising one for the Fund. Risk aversion has subsided, but it remains elevated, as investors weigh the trade-off between extraordinary opportunities and unnerving challenges. The Group believes this plays to the strengths of growth companies in general, and specifically to growth companies that are both fundamentally sound and cyclically sensitive.

Going forward, the Fund will continue with its concentration on midsize and larger companies that offer liquidity and solid track records. It will

ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND  • 3

also remain focused on companies whose debt burdens are below average. The Group believes that this focus and style of management, combined with improving global business and consumer sentiment, will serve the Fund well.

As active managers, the Group’s role is to steer a rational course through the

market’s ups and downs, rather than attempt to outrun every market gyration. Therefore, the Group has remained steadfast in its investment discipline and continues to attempt to build a Fund of high-quality companies that research indicates are most likely to deliver positive results over time.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

An Important Note About the Value of Historical Performance

The performance shown on the following pages represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by visiting www.alliancebernstein.com.

The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing. For a free copy of the Fund’s prospectus, which contains this and other information, visit our website at www.alliancebernstein.com or call your financial advisor or AllianceBernstein Investments at 800.227.4618. You should read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

All fees and expenses related to the operation of the Fund have been deducted. NAV returns do not reflect sales charges; if sales charges were reflected, the Fund’s quoted performance would be lower. SEC returns reflect the applicable sales charges for each share class: a 4.25% maximum front-end sales charge for Class A shares; the applicable contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares (4% year 1, 3% year 2, 2% year 3, 1% year 4); a 1% 1 year contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares. Returns for different share classes will vary due to different expenses associated with each class. Performance assumes reinvestment of distributions and does not account for taxes.

Benchmark Disclosure

Neither the unmanaged Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World (ex-US) Index (net) nor the unmanaged MSCI All Country (AC) World (ex-US) Index (net and gross) reflect fees and expenses associated with the active management of a mutual fund portfolio. The MSCI AC World (ex-US) Index (net and gross) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets, excluding the US. The MSCI World (ex-US) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure global developed market equity performance in 23 developed market countries, excluding the US. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and its results are not indicative of the performance for any specific investment, including the Fund.

The MSCI World (ex-US) Index values are calculated using net returns. The MSCI AC World (ex-US) Index values are calculated using net and gross returns. Net returns approximate the minimum possible dividend reinvestment—the dividend reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the rate to non-resident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. For values calculated using gross returns, the index series approximates the maximum possible dividend reinvestment. The amount reinvested is the dividend distributed to individuals resident in the country of the company, but does not include tax credits.

A Word About Risk

Substantially all of the Fund’s assets will be invested in foreign securities which may magnify fluctuations due to changes in foreign exchange rates and the possibility of substantial volatility due to political and economic uncertainties in foreign countries. The Fund may invest in securities of emerging market nations. These investments have additional risks, such as those presented by illiquid or thinly traded markets, company management risk, heightened political instability and currency volatility.

Historical Performance

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

(continued from previous page)

Accounting standards and market regulations in emerging market nations are not the same as those in the US. Growth investing does not guarantee a profit or eliminate risk. The stocks of these companies have relatively high valuations. Because of these high valuations, an investment in a growth stock can be more risky than an investment in a company with more modest growth expectations. If a growth stock company should fail to meet these high earnings expectations, the price of these stocks can be severely negatively affected. When a Fund borrows money or otherwise leverages its portfolio, it may be volatile because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may create leverage through the use of reverse repurchase arrangements, forward currency exchange contracts, forward commitments, dollar rolls or futures contracts or by borrowing money. While the Fund invests principally in common stocks and other equity securities, in order to achieve its investment objectives, the Fund may at times use certain types of investment derivatives, such as options, futures, forwards and swaps. These instruments involve risks different from, and in certain cases, greater than, the risks presented by more traditional investments. These risks are fully discussed in the Fund’s prospectus.

FUND EXPENSES

(unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.

Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions. Therefore, the hypothetical example is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2009

NOTE A

Significant Accounting Policies

AllianceBernstein International Growth Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), organized as a Maryland corporation on March 16, 1994, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Advisor Class, Class R, Class K and Class I shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 4.25% for purchases not exceeding $1,000,000. With respect to purchases of $1,000,000 or more, Class A shares redeemed within one year of purchase may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1%. Class B shares are currently sold with a contingent deferred sales charge which declines from 4% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Effective January 31, 2009, sales of Class B shares of the Fund to new investors were suspended. Class B shares will only be issued (i) upon the exchange of Class B shares from another AllianceBernstein Fund, (ii) for purposes of dividend reinvestment, (iii) through the Fund’s Automatic Investment Program (the “Program”) for accounts that established the Program prior to January 31, 2009, and (iv) for purchases of additional shares by Class B shareholders as of January 31, 2009. The ability to establish a new Automatic Investment Program for accounts containing Class B shares was suspended as of January 31, 2009. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after the end of the calendar month of purchase. Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made within the first year after purchase. Class R and Class K shares are sold without an initial or contingent deferred sales charge. Advisor Class and Class I shares are sold without an initial or contingent deferred sales charge and are not subject to ongoing distribution expenses. All seven classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, and the same terms and conditions, except that the classes bear different distribution and transfer agency expenses. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

1. Security Valuation

Portfolio securities are valued at their current market value determined on the basis of market quotations or, if market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, at “fair value” as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors.

In general, the market value of securities which are readily available and deemed reliable are determined as follows. Securities listed on a national securities

24 •  ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

Notes to Financial Statements

exchange (other than securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”)) or on a foreign securities exchange are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange or foreign securities exchange. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices on such day. Securities listed on more than one exchange are valued by reference to the principal exchange on which the securities are traded; securities listed only on NASDAQ are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price; listed put or call options are valued at the last sale price. If there has been no sale on that day, such securities will be valued at the closing bid prices on that day; open futures contracts and options thereon are valued using the closing settlement price or, in the absence of such a price, the most recent quoted bid price. If there are no quotations available for the day of valuation, the last available closing settlement price is used; securities traded in the over-the-counter market (“OTC”) are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices as reported by the National Quotation Bureau or other comparable sources; U.S. government securities and other debt instruments having 60 days or less remaining until maturity are valued at amortized cost if their original maturity was 60 days or less; or by amortizing their fair value as of the 61st day prior to maturity if their original term to maturity exceeded 60 days; fixed-income securities, including mortgage backed and asset backed securities, may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service or at a price obtained from one or more of the major broker/dealers. In cases where broker/dealer quotes are obtained, AllianceBernstein L.P. (the “Adviser”) may establish procedures whereby changes in market yields or spreads are used to adjust, on a daily basis, a recently obtained quoted price on a security; and OTC and other derivatives are valued on the basis of a quoted bid price or spread from a major broker/dealer in such security. Investments in money market funds are valued at their net asset value each day.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities) or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents. In addition, the Fund may use fair value pricing for securities primarily traded in non-U.S. markets because most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time (see Note A.2).

2. Fair Value Measurements

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), effective December 1, 2007. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the

ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND  • 25

Notes to Financial Statements

transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

• Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

• Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2009:

* Other financial instruments are derivative instruments, such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

† The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred between the close of the foreign markets and the time at which the Fund values its securities which may materially affect the value of those securities trading in such markets. To account for this, the Fund may frequently

Notes to Financial Statements

value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

** The unrealized appreciation/depreciation is included in net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments in the accompanying statement of operations.

3. Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under forward currency exchange contracts are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired or sold. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange prevailing when accrued.

Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions represents foreign exchange gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign fixed income investments, foreign currency exchange contracts, holding of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on foreign investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains and losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments and foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

4. Taxes

It is the Fund’s policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are required. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated.

ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND  • 27

Notes to Financial Statements

Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation/depreciation as such income and/or gains are earned.

In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years (the current and the prior three tax years) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

5. Investment Income and Investment Transactions

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend. Interest income is accrued daily. Investment transactions are accounted for on the date securities are purchased or sold. Investment gains or losses are determined on the identified cost basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts as adjustments to interest income.

6. Class Allocations

All income earned and expenses incurred by the Fund are borne on a pro-rata basis by each outstanding class of shares, based on the proportionate interest in the Fund represented by the net assets of such class, except for class specific expenses which are allocated to the respective class. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among the various share classes based on their respective net assets.

7. Dividends and Distributions

Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require such reclassification.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During the period ended June 30, 2009, the Fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (“FAS 161”), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosure about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities including qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements (see Note D.1)

In accordance with the provision set forth in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165 “Subsequent Events”, adopted by the Fund as of

28 •  ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2009, management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events existing in the Fund’s financial statements issued on August 26, 2009. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements through this date.

NOTE B

Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser an advisory fee at an annual rate of .75% of the first $2.5 billion, .65% of the next $2.5 billion and .60% in excess of $5 billion, of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly. Effective May 16, 2005, the Adviser voluntarily agreed to waive its fees and bear certain expenses to the extent necessary to limit total operating expenses on an annual basis to 1.65%, 2.35%, 2.35%, 1.35%, 1.85%, 1.60% and 1.35% of the daily average net assets for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Advisor Class, Class R, Class K and Class I shares, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2009, there were no fees waived by the Adviser.

For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Adviser reimbursed the Fund $78,968 for trading losses incurred due to trade entry errors.

Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, the Fund paid $99,760 to the Adviser representing the cost of certain legal and accounting services provided to the Fund by the Adviser for the year ended June 30, 2009.

The Fund compensates AllianceBernstein Investor Services, Inc. (“ABIS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fund Adviser, under a Transfer Agency Agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the Fund. ABIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. The compensation retained by ABIS amounted to $1,697,663 for the year ended June 30, 2009.

For the year ended June 30, 2009, the expenses of Class A, Class B, Class C and Advisor Class shares were reduced by $15,210 under an expense offset arrangement with ABIS.

AllianceBernstein Investments, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser serves as the distributor of the Fund’s shares. The Distributor has advised the Fund that it has retained front-end sales charges of $22,006 from the sale of Class A shares and received $23,638, $145,379 and $130,386 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by shareholders of Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2009.

Notes to Financial Statements

Brokerage commissions paid on investment transactions for the year ended June 30, 2009, amounted to $5,025,426, none of which was paid to Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. LLC and Sanford C. Bernstein Limited, affiliates of the Adviser.

NOTE C

Distribution Services Agreement

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Agreement the Fund pays distribution and servicing fees to the Distributor at an annual rate of up to .30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares, 1% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Class B and Class C shares, .50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares and .25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares. There are no distribution and servicing fees on the Class I and Advisor Class shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. The Agreement provides that the Distributor will use such payments in their entirety for distribution assistance and promotional activities. The Distributor has incurred expenses in excess of the distribution costs reimbursed by the Fund in the amounts of $6,481,552, $3,785,197, $383,575 and $85,039 for Class B, Class C, Class R and Class K shares, respectively. While such costs may be recovered from the Fund in future periods so long as the Agreement is in effect, the rate of the distribution and servicing fees payable under the Agreement may not be increased without a shareholder vote. In accordance with the Agreement, there is no provision for recovery of unreimbursed distribution costs incurred by the Distributor beyond the current fiscal year for Class A shares. The Agreement also provides that the Adviser may use its own resources to finance the distribution of the Fund’s shares.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Fund may use derivatives to earn income and enhance returns, to hedge or adjust the risk profile of its portfolio, to replace more traditional direct investments, or to obtain exposure to otherwise inaccessible markets. The Fund may also use derivatives for non-hedging purposes as a means of making direct investment in foreign currencies, as described below under “Currency Transactions”.

The principal type of derivatives utilized by the Fund, as well as the methods in which they may be used are:

• Forward Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings, to hedge certain firm purchase and sales commitments denominated in foreign currencies and for non-hedging purposes as a means of making direct investments in foreign currencies, as described below under “Currency Transactions”.

A forward currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the original contract and the closing of such contract would be included in net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions. Fluctuations in the value of open forward currency exchange contracts are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized appreciation and/or depreciation by the Fund. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The face or contract amount, in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the Fund has in that particular currency contract.

At June 30, 2009, the Fund had entered into the following derivatives (not designated as hedging instruments under FAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”):

	Asset Derivatives			Liability Derivatives
Derivatives Not Accounted for as Hedging Instruments under Statement 133	Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location	Fair value		Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location	Fair Value
Foreign exchange contracts	Unrealized appreciation of forward currency exchange contracts	$	21,575,171	Unrealized depreciation of forward currency exchange contracts	$	32,699,922

Total		$	24,855,814	$	(11,124,751	)

2. Currency Transactions

The Fund may invest in non-U.S. Dollar securities on a currency hedged or unhedged basis. The Fund may seek investment opportunities by taking long or short positions in currencies through the use of currency-related derivatives, including forward currency exchange contracts, futures and options on futures, swaps, and options. The Fund may enter into transactions for investment opportunities when it anticipates that a foreign currency will appreciate or depreciate in value but securities denominated in that currency are not held by the Fund and do not present attractive investment opportunities. Such transactions may also be used when the Adviser believes that it may be more efficient than a direct investment in a foreign currency-denominated security. The Fund may also conduct currency exchange contracts on a spot basis (i.e., for cash at the spot rate prevailing in the currency exchange market for buying or selling currencies).

NOTE F

Risks Involved in Investing in the Fund

Foreign Securities Risk—Investing in securities of foreign companies or foreign governments involves special risks which include changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the possibility of future political and economic developments which could adversely affect the value of such securities. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies or foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or of the U.S. government.

Currency Risk—This is the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates may negatively affect the value of the Fund’s investments or reduce the returns of the Fund. For example, the value of the Fund’s investments in foreign currency-denominated securities or currencies may decrease if the U.S. Dollar is strong (i.e., gaining value relative to other currencies) and other currencies are weak (i.e., losing value relative to the U.S. Dollar). Currency markets are generally not as regulated as securities markets. Independent of the Fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund’s positions in various foreign currencies may cause the Fund to experience investment losses due to the changes in exchange rates and interest rates.

Derivatives Risk—The Fund may invest in derivatives such as forwards, options, futures and swaps. These investments may be illiquid, difficult to price, and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses for the Fund, and subject to counterparty risk to a greater degree than more traditional investments.

ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND  • 35

Notes to Financial Statements

Indemnification Risk—In the ordinary course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these indemnification provisions and expects the risk of loss thereunder to be remote.

NOTE G

Joint Credit Facility

A number of open-end mutual funds managed by the Adviser, including the Fund, participate in a $250 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with abnormal redemption activity. Commitment fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are included in miscellaneous expenses in the statement of operations. The Fund did not utilize the facility during the year ended June 30, 2009. Effective July 16, 2009, the Facility will be reduced to $140 million.

NOTE H

Acquisition of AllianceBernstein International Research Growth Fund, Inc. by AllianceBernstein International Growth Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”)

On July 25, 2008, the Fund acquired all of the assets and all of the liabilities of AllianceBernstein International Research Growth Fund, Inc. (“IRG”), pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved on May 8, 2008, by the Boards of Directors of IRG and the Fund. On July 25, 2008, the acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 18,002,956 shares of the Fund for 21,703,099 shares of IRG. The aggregate net assets of the Fund and IRG immediately before the acquisition were $3,193,887,109 and $310,313,691 (including $20,279,606 of net unrealized appreciation of investments and foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities), respectively. Immediately after the acquisition, the combined net assets of the Fund amounted to $3,504,200,800.

NOTE I

Distributions to Shareholders

The tax character of distributions paid for the year ending June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were as follows:

	June 30, 2009		June 30, 2008
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	48,629,616	$	94,519,187
Long-term capital gain		3,691,678		109,193,732
Total taxable distributions		52,321,294		203,712,919
Total distributions paid	$	52,321,294	$	203,712,919

36 •  ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

Notes to Financial Statements

As of June 30, 2009, the components of accumulated earning/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	28,152,117
Accumulated capital and other losses		(1,198,671,538)	(a)
Unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)		(89,418,791)	(b)
Total accumulated earnings/(deficit)	$	(1,259,938,212)	(b)

^(a) On June 30, 2009, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes of $459,206,856 (of which $17,439,216 are attributable to the purchase of net assets of AllianceBernstein International Research Growth Fund, Inc. on July 25, 2008) of which $7,970,694 expires in the year 2010, $7,476,210 expires in the year 2011, and $443,759,952 expires in the year 2017. During the fiscal year, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards expire of $1,229,569. To the extent future capital gains are offset by capital loss carryforwards, such gains will not be distributed. Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year. For the year ended June 30, 2009, the Fund deferred to July 1, 2009, post-October losses of $739,464,682. As a result of the reorganization with AllianceBernstein International Research Growth Fund, Inc., into the Fund, various limitations and reductions regarding the future utilization of certain capital loss carryforwards were applied based on certain provisions in the Internal Revenue Code.

^(b) The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the tax treatment of Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFIC’s”) and the tax treatment of derivatives.

During the current fiscal year, permanent differences, primarily due to foreign currency transactions, the tax treatment of Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFIC”), reorganization related adjustments, redesignation of dividends, and a capital loss carryforward expiration resulted in a net increase in undistributed net investment income and a net increase in accumulated net realized loss on investment and foreign currency transactions, and an increase to additional paid in capital. This reclassification had no effect on net assets.

NOTE J

Legal Proceedings

On October 2, 2003, a purported class action complaint entitled Hindo, et al. v. AllianceBernstein Growth & Income Fund, et al. (“Hindo Complaint”) was filed against the Adviser, Alliance Capital Management Holding L.P. (“Alliance Holding”), Alliance Capital Management Corporation, AXA Financial, Inc., the AllianceBernstein Funds, certain officers of the Adviser (“AllianceBernstein defendants”), and certain other unaffiliated defendants, as well as unnamed Doe defendants. The Hindo Complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by alleged shareholders of two of the AllianceBernstein Funds. The Hindo Complaint alleges that certain of the AllianceBernstein defendants failed to disclose that they improperly allowed certain hedge funds and other unidentified parties to engage in “late trading” and “market timing” of AllianceBernstein Fund securities, violating Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Sections 206 and 215 of the Advisers Act. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages and rescission of their contracts with the Adviser, including recovery of all fees paid to the Adviser pursuant to such contracts.

ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND  • 37

Notes to Financial Statements

Following October 2, 2003, 43 additional lawsuits making factual allegations generally similar to those in the Hindo Complaint were filed in various federal and state courts against the Adviser and certain other defendants. On September 29, 2004, plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaints with respect to four claim types: mutual fund shareholder claims; mutual fund derivative claims; derivative claims brought on behalf of Alliance Holding; and claims brought under ERISA by participants in the Profit Sharing Plan for Employees of the Adviser. All four complaints include substantially identical factual allegations, which appear to be based in large part on the Order of the SEC dated December 18, 2003 as amended and restated January 15, 2004 (“SEC Order”) and the New York State Attorney General Assurance of Discontinuance dated September 1, 2004 (“NYAG Order”).

On April 21, 2006, the Adviser and attorneys for the plaintiffs in the mutual fund shareholder claims, mutual fund derivative claims, and ERISA claims entered into a confidential memorandum of understanding containing their agreement to settle these claims. The agreement will be documented by a stipulation of settlement and will be submitted for court approval at a later date. The settlement amount ($30 million), which the Adviser previously accrued and disclosed, has been disbursed. The derivative claims brought on behalf of Alliance Holding, in which plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages, remain pending.

It is possible that these matters and/or other developments resulting from these matters could result in increased redemptions of the AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds’ shares or other adverse consequences to the AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds. This may require the AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds to sell investments held by those funds to provide for sufficient liquidity and could also have an adverse effect on the investment performance of the AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds. However, the Adviser believes that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform advisory services relating to the AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds.

Management of the Fund

Information Regarding the Review and Approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreement

The disinterested directors (the “directors”) of AllianceBernstein International Growth Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) unanimously approved the continuance of the Fund’s Advisory Agreement with the Adviser at a meeting held on May 5-7, 2009.

Prior to approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement, the directors had requested from the Adviser, and received and evaluated, extensive materials. They reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with the Adviser and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Adviser, who advised on the relevant legal standards. The directors also reviewed an independent evaluation prepared by the Fund’s Senior Officer (who is also the Fund’s Independent Compliance Officer) of the reasonableness of the advisory fee in the Advisory Agreement wherein the Senior Officer concluded that the contractual fee for the Fund was reasonable. The directors also discussed the proposed continuance in private sessions with counsel and the Fund’s Senior Officer.

The directors considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund gained from their experience as directors or trustees of most of the registered investment companies advised by the Adviser, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and competence they have gained from that experience, the Adviser’s initiative in identifying and raising potential issues with the directors and its responsiveness, frankness and attention to concerns raised by the directors in the past, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the AllianceBernstein Funds. The directors noted that they have four regular meetings each year, at each of which they receive presentations from the Adviser on the investment results of the Fund and review extensive materials and information presented by the Adviser.

The directors also considered all other factors they believed relevant, including the specific matters discussed below. In their deliberations, the directors did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and different directors may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The directors determined that the selection of the Adviser to manage the Fund and the overall arrangements between the Fund and the Adviser, as provided in the Advisory Agreement, including the advisory fee, were fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, expenses incurred and such other matters as the directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the directors’ determinations included the following:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided

The directors considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, including the quality of the investment

ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND  • 55

research capabilities of the Adviser and the other resources it has dedicated to performing services for the Fund. They also noted the professional experience and qualifications of the Fund’s portfolio management team and other senior personnel of the Adviser. The directors also considered that the Advisory Agreement provides that the Fund will reimburse the Adviser for the cost to it of providing certain clerical, accounting, administrative and other services provided at the Fund’s request by employees of the Adviser or its affiliates. Requests for these reimbursements are approved by the directors on a quarterly basis and, to the extent requested and paid, result in a higher rate of total compensation from the Fund to the Adviser than the fee rate stated in the Fund’s Advisory Agreement. The directors noted that the methodology used to determine the reimbursement amounts had been reviewed by an independent consultant retained by the Fund’s Senior Officer. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Adviser’s role in coordinating the activities of the Fund’s other service providers, also were considered. The directors concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability

The directors reviewed a schedule of the revenues, expenses and related notes indicating the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser for calendar years 2007 and 2008 that had been prepared with an expense allocation methodology arrived at in consultation with an independent consultant retained by the Fund’s Senior Officer. The directors reviewed the assumptions and methods of allocation used by the Adviser in preparing fund-specific profitability data and noted that there are a number of potentially acceptable allocation methodologies for information of this type. The directors noted that the profitability information reflected all revenues and expenses of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund, including those relating to its subsidiaries which provide transfer agency, distribution and brokerage services to the Fund. The directors recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability between fund advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors. The directors focused on the profitability of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund before taxes and distribution expenses. The directors concluded that they were satisfied that the Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was not unreasonable.

Fall-Out Benefits

The directors considered the benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund other than the fees and expense reimbursements payable under the Advisory Agreement, including but not limited to benefits relating to soft dollar arrangements (whereby the Adviser receives brokerage and research services from many of the brokers and dealers that execute purchases and sales of securities on behalf of its clients on an agency basis), 12b-1 fees and sales charges received by the Fund’s principal underwriter (which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser) in respect of certain classes of the Fund’s

56 •  ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

shares, transfer agency fees paid by the Fund to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser, and brokerage commissions paid by the Fund to brokers affiliated with the Adviser. The directors recognized that the Adviser’s profitability would be somewhat lower without these benefits. The directors understood that the Adviser also might derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Fund.

Investment Results

In addition to the information reviewed by the directors in connection with the meeting, the directors receive detailed performance information for the Fund at each regular Board meeting during the year. At the May 2009 meeting, the directors reviewed information prepared by Lipper showing the performance of the Class A Shares of the Fund as compared with that of a group of similar funds selected by Lipper (the “Performance Group”) and as compared with that of a broader array of funds selected by Lipper (the “Performance Universe”), and information prepared by the Adviser showing performance of the Class A Shares as compared with the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World (ex-US) Index (Net) (the “MSCI All Country World Index”) and the MSCI World (ex-US) Index (Net) (the “MSCI World Index”), in each case for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ended January 31, 2009, except as indicated below and (in the case of comparisons with the MSCI World Index) the since inception period (June 1994 inception). The directors noted that the Fund was in the 5th quintile of the Performance Group and the Performance Universe for the 1- and 3-year periods, 5th quintile of the Performance Group and 2nd quintile of the Performance Universe for the 5-year period and 1st out of 4 of the Performance Group and in the 1st quintile of the Performance Universe for the 10-year period, and that the Fund underperformed the MSCI All Country World Index in the 1-, 3- and 5-year periods (no information was available for the 10-year and since inception periods) and outperformed the MSCI World Index in the 10-year and since inception periods but underperformed that index in the 1-, 3- and 5-year periods. The directors noted the small number of funds in the Performance Group. The directors also reviewed performance information for periods ended March 31, 2009 (for which the data was not limited to Class A Shares), and noted that in 2009 the Fund outperformed the Lipper International Large Cap Growth Funds Average and lagged its indices by modest amounts. Based on their review, the directors concluded that the Fund’s relative performance over time had been satisfactory.

Advisory Fees and Other Expenses

The directors considered the advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and information prepared by Lipper concerning fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund at a common asset level. The directors recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds.

The directors also considered the fees the Adviser charges other clients with an investment style similar to that of the Fund. For this purpose, they reviewed the

ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND  • 57

relevant fee information in the Adviser’s Form ADV and the evaluation from the Fund’s Senior Officer disclosing the institutional fee schedule for institutional products managed by the Adviser that have an investment style similar to that of the Fund. The directors noted that the institutional fee schedule for clients with an investment style similar to that of the Fund had breakpoints at lower asset levels than those in the fee schedule applicable to the Fund and that the application of the institutional fee schedule to the level of assets of the Fund would result in a fee rate that would be lower than that in the Fund’s Advisory Agreement. The directors noted that the Adviser may, in some cases, agree to fee rates with large institutional clients that are lower than those reviewed by the directors and that they had previously discussed with the Adviser its policies in respect of such arrangements. The directors also noted that the Adviser advises a portfolio of another AllianceBernstein fund with a substantially similar investment style as the Fund for the same fee schedule as the Fund.

The Adviser reviewed with the directors the significantly greater scope of the services it provides to the Fund relative to institutional clients. The Adviser also noted that because mutual funds are constantly issuing and redeeming shares, they are more difficult to manage than an institutional account, where the assets tend to be relatively stable. In light of these facts, the directors did not place significant weight on these fee comparisons.

The directors also considered the total expense ratio of the Class A shares of the Fund in comparison to the fees and expenses of funds within two comparison groups created by Lipper: an Expense Group and an Expense Universe. Lipper described an Expense Group as a representative sample of funds similar to the Fund and an Expense Universe as a broader group, consisting of all funds in the Fund’s investment classification/objective with a similar load type as the Fund. The directors noted that because of the small number of funds in the Fund’s Lipper category, at the request of the Adviser and the Fund’s Senior Officer, Lipper had expanded the Expense Group of the Fund to include peers that had a similar (but not the same) Lipper investment objective/classification. The Expense Universe for the Fund had also been expanded by Lipper pursuant to Lipper’s standard guidelines and not at the request of the Adviser or the Fund’s Senior Officer. The Class A expense ratio of the Fund was based on the Fund’s latest fiscal year. The directors view the expense ratio information as relevant to their evaluation of the Adviser’s services because the Adviser is responsible for coordinating services provided to the Fund by others. The directors noted that it was likely that the expense ratios of some funds in the Fund’s Lipper category were lowered by waivers or reimbursements by those funds’ investment advisers, which in some cases were voluntary and perhaps temporary.

The directors noted that the Fund’s contractual effective advisory fee rate, at approximate current size, of 75 basis points, plus the less than 1 basis point impact of the administrative expense reimbursement in the latest fiscal year, was lower than the Expense Group median. The directors noted that the Fund’s

58 •  ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

total expense ratio, which had been capped by the Adviser (although the expense ratio was currently lower than the cap), was lower than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians. The directors concluded that the Fund’s expense ratio was satisfactory.

Economies of Scale

The directors noted that the advisory fee schedule for the Fund contains breakpoints and that the Fund’s net assets were in excess of the first breakpoint level. Accordingly, the Fund’s current effective advisory fee rate would reflect a reduction due to the effect of the breakpoints and would be further reduced to the extent the net assets of the Fund increase further. The directors also considered presentations by an independent consultant discussing economies of scale in the mutual fund industry and for the AllianceBernstein Funds, as well as a presentation by the Adviser concerning certain of its views on economies of scale. The directors believe that economies of scale may be realized (if at all) by the Adviser across a variety of products and services, and not only in respect of a single fund. The directors noted that there is no established methodology for establishing breakpoints that give effect to fund-specific services provided by a fund’s adviser and to the economies of scale that an adviser may realize in its overall mutual fund business or those components of it which directly or indirectly affect a fund’s operations. The directors observed that in the mutual fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Fund, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. The directors also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all. Having taken these factors into account, the directors concluded that the Fund’s breakpoint arrangements were acceptable and were resulting in a sharing of economies of scale.

SUMMARY OF SENIOR OFFICER’S EVALUATION OF

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT¹

The following is a summary of the evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between AllianceBernstein L.P. (the “Adviser”) and AllianceBernstein International Growth Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”).² The evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement was prepared by Philip L. Kirstein, the Senior Officer of the Fund, for the Directors of the Fund, as required by a September 2004 agreement between the Adviser and the New York State Attorney General (the “NYAG”). The Senior Officer’s evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement is not meant to diminish the responsibility or authority of the Board of Directors of the Fund to perform its duties pursuant to Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “40 Act”) and applicable state law. The purpose of the summary is to provide shareholders with a synopsis of the independent evaluation of the reasonableness of the advisory fees proposed to be paid by the Fund which was provided to the Directors in connection with their review of the proposed approval of the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Senior Officer’s evaluation considered the following factors:

1. Advisory fees charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for like services;

2. Advisory fees charged by other mutual fund companies for like services;

3. Costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the advisory agreement, excluding any intra-corporate profit;

4. Profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services;

5. Possible economies of scale as the Fund grows larger; and

6. Nature and quality of the Adviser’s services including the performance of the Fund.

FUND ADVISORY FEES, NET ASSETS, EXPENSE CAPS & RATIOS

The Adviser proposed that the Fund pay the advisory fee set forth in the table below for receiving the services to be provided pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. The fee schedule below, implemented in January 2004 in consideration of the Adviser’s settlement with the NYAG in December 2003, is

based on a master schedule that contemplates eight categories of funds with almost all funds in each category having the same advisory fee schedule.³

Category	Advisory Fee Based on % of Average Daily Net Assets4	Net Assets 02/28/09 ($MIL)		Fund
International	75 bp on 1st $2.5 billion 65 bp on next $2.5 billion 60 bp on the balance	$	1,429.1	International Growth Fund, Inc.

The Adviser is reimbursed as specified in the Investment Advisory Agreement for certain clerical, legal, accounting, administrative and other services provided to the Fund. During the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Adviser received $114,963 (0.004% of the Fund’s average daily net assets) for such services.

The Adviser has agreed to waive that portion of its management fees and/or reimburse the Fund for that portion of its total operating expenses to the degree necessary to limit the Fund’s expense ratios to the amounts set forth below for the Fund’s fiscal year. The waiver is terminable by the Adviser at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year upon at least 60 days written notice prior to the termination date of the undertaking. It should be noted that the Fund was operating below its expense caps during its most recent semi-annual period; accordingly, the expense limitation undertaking of the Fund was of no effect. In addition, set forth below are the gross expense ratios of the Fund for the most recent semi-annual period:⁵

Fund	Expense Cap Pursuant to Expense Limitation Undertaking			Gross Expense Ratio6 (12/31/08)		Fiscal Year End
International Growth Fund, Inc.7	Advisor Class A Class B Class C Class R Class K Class I	1.35 1.65 2.35 2.35 1.85 1.60 1.35	%  %  %  %  %  %  %	1.03 1.32 2.08 2.04 1.57 1.32 0.89	%  %  %  %  %  %  %	June 30

3 Most of the AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds, which the Adviser manages, were affected by the Adviser’s settlement with the NYAG.

4 The advisory fee is based on the percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets and is paid on a monthly basis.

5 Semi-annual total expense ratios are unaudited

I. ADVISORY FEES CHARGED TO INSTITUTIONAL AND OTHER CLIENTS

The advisory fees charged to investment companies which the Adviser manages and sponsors are normally higher than those charged to similar sized institutional accounts, including pension plans and sub-advised investment companies. The fee differential reflects, among other things, different services provided to such clients, and different liabilities assumed. Services provided by the Adviser to the Fund that are not provided to non-investment company clients and sub-advised investment companies include providing office space and personnel to serve as Fund Officers, who among other responsibilities make the certifications required under the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002, and coordinating with and monitoring the Fund’s third party service providers such as Fund counsel, auditors, custodians, transfer agents and pricing services. The accounting, administrative, legal and compliance requirements for the Fund are more costly than those for institutional assets due to the greater complexities and time required for investment companies, although as previously noted, a portion of these expenses are reimbursed by the Fund to the Adviser. Also, retail mutual funds managed by the Adviser are widely held. Servicing the Fund’s investors is more time consuming and labor intensive compared to institutional clients since the Adviser needs to communicate with a more extensive network of financial intermediaries and shareholders. The Adviser also believes that it incurs substantial entrepreneurial risk when offering a new mutual fund since establishing a new mutual fund requires a large upfront investment and it may take a long time for the fund to achieve profitability since the fund must be priced to scale from inception in order to be competitive and assets are acquired one account at a time. In addition, managing the cash flow of an investment company may be more difficult than managing that of a stable pool of assets, such as an institutional account with little cash movement in either direction, particularly, if a fund is in net redemption and the Adviser is frequently forced to sell securities to raise cash for redemptions. However, managing a fund with positive cash flow may be easier at times than managing a stable pool of assets. Finally, in recent years, investment advisers have been sued by institutional clients and have suffered reputational damage both by the attendant publicity and outcomes other than complete victories. Accordingly, the legal and reputational risks associated with institutional accounts are greater than previously thought, although still not equal to those related to the mutual fund industry.

Notwithstanding the Adviser’s view that managing an investment company is not comparable to managing other institutional accounts because the services provided are different and legal and reputational risks are greater, it is worth considering information regarding the advisory fees charged to institutional accounts with a similar investment style as the Fund.⁸ In addition to the AllianceBernstein Institutional fee schedule, set forth below is what would have

been the effective advisory fee of the Fund had the AllianceBernstein Institutional fee schedule been applicable to the Fund versus the Fund’s advisory fee based on February 28, 2009 net assets:

Fund	Net Assets 02/28/09 ($MIL)	AllianceBernstein (“AB”) Institutional (“Inst.”) Fee Schedule	Effective AB Inst. Adv. Fee	Fund Advisory Fee
International Growth Fund, Inc.9	$1,429.1	International Large Cap Growth 80 bp on 1st $25 million 60 bp on next $25 million 50 bp on next $50 million 40 bp on the balance Minimum Account Size: $25m	0.414%	0.750%

The adviser also manages the AllianceBernstein Variable Products Series Fund, Inc. (“AVPS”), which is available through variable annuity and variable life contracts offered by other financial institutions and offers policyholders the option to utilize certain AVPS portfolios as the investment option underlying their insurance contracts. Set forth below is the fee schedule of the AVPS portfolio that has a substantially similar investment style as the Fund.¹⁰ Also shown is what would have been the effective advisory fee of the Fund had the AVPS fee schedule been applicable to the Fund:

Fund	AVPS Portfolio	Fee Schedule	Effective AVPS Adv. Fee	Fund Advisory Fee
International Growth Fund, Inc.	International Growth Portfolio	0.75% on first $2.5 billion 0.65% on next $2.5 billion 0.60% on the balance	0.750%	0.750%

The Adviser represented that it does not sub-advise any registered investment company with a substantially similar investment style as the Fund.

II. MANAGEMENT FEES CHARGED BY OTHER MUTUAL FUND COMPANIES FOR LIKE SERVICES.

Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an analytical service that is not affiliated with the Adviser, compared the fees charged to the Fund with fees charged to other investment companies for similar services offered by other investment advisers. Lipper’s analysis included the Fund’s ranking with respect to the proposed

9 Fees shown are for the International Large Cap Growth Strategy, which is similar but more concentrated than the Fund’s strategy.

10 It should be noted that the AVPS portfolio was also affected by the settlement between the Adviser and the NYAG. As a result, the Fund has the same breakpoints in its advisory fee schedule as the AVPS portfolio.

ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND  • 63

management fee relative to the median of the Fund’s Lipper Expense Group (“EG”)¹¹ at the approximate current asset level of the Fund.¹²

Lipper describes an EG as a representative sample of comparable funds. Lipper’s standard methodology for screening funds to be included in an EG entails the consideration of several fund criteria, including fund type, investment classification/objective, load type and similar 12b-1/non-12b-1 service fees, asset (size) comparability, expense components and attributes. An EG will typically consist of seven to twenty funds.

The Fund’s original EG had an insufficient number of peers in the view of the Senior Officer and the Adviser. Consequently, at the request of the Senior Officer and the Adviser, Lipper expanded the Fund’s EG to include peers that have similar but not the same Lipper investment classification/objective.

Fund	Contractual Management Fee (%)13	Lipper Exp. Group Median (%)	Rank
International Growth Fund, Inc.14	0.750	0.879	4/14

However, because Lipper had expanded the EG of the Fund, under Lipper’s standard guidelines, the Lipper Expense Universe (“EU”) was also expanded to include the universe of those peers that had a similar but not the same Lipper investment classification/objective.¹⁵ A “normal” EU will include funds that have the same investment classification/objective as the subject Fund.¹⁶ It

11 It should be noted that Lipper does not consider average account size when constructing EGs. Funds with relatively small average account sizes tend to have higher transfer agent expense ratio than comparable sized funds that have relatively large average account sizes. Note that there are limitations on Lipper expense category data because different funds categorize expenses differently.

12 The contractual management fee is calculated by Lipper using the Fund’s contractual management fee rate at a hypothetical asset level. The hypothetical asset level is based on the combined net assets of all classes of the Fund, rounded up to the next $25 million. Lipper’s total expense ratio information is based on the most recent annual report except as otherwise noted. A ranking of “1” would mean that the Fund had the lowest effective fee rate in the Lipper peer group.

13 The contractual management fee does not reflect any expense reimbursements made by the Fund to the Adviser for certain clerical, legal, accounting, administrative and other services. In addition, the contractual management fee would not reflect any advisory fee waivers or expense reimbursements made by the Adviser to the Fund for expense caps that would effectively reduce the actual management fee.

14 The Fund’s EG includes the Fund, five other International Large-Cap Growth Funds (“ILCG”) and eight International Multi-Cap Growth Funds (“IMCG”).

15 It should be noted that the expansion of the Fund’s EU was not requested by the Senior Officer or the Adviser. They requested that only the EG be expanded.

16 Except for asset (size) comparability, Lipper uses the same criteria for selecting an EG peer when selecting an EU peer. Unlike the EG, the EU allows for the same adviser to be represented by more than just one fund.

64 •  ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

should be noted that Lipper uses expense ratio data from financial statements of the most current fiscal year in their database. This has several implications: the total expense ratio of each fund that Lipper uses in their report is based on each fund’s average net assets during its fiscal year. Since funds have different fiscal year ends, the total expense ratios of the funds may cover different twelve month periods, depending on the funds’ fiscal year ends. This is the process that Lipper utilizes but given market conditions during 2008, especially the last three months of 2008, the effects on the funds’ total expense ratio caused by the differences in fiscal year ends may be more pronounced in 2008 compared to other years under more normal market conditions.¹⁷

Fund	Expense Ratio (%)18	Lipper Exp. Group Median (%)	Lipper Group Rank	Lipper Exp. Universe Median (%)	Lipper Universe Rank
International Growth Fund, Inc.19	1.228	1.424	2/14	1.474	5/48

Based on this analysis, the Fund has a more favorable ranking on a total expense ratio basis than it does on a management fee basis.

III. COSTS TO THE ADVISER AND ITS AFFILIATES OF SUPPLYING SERVICES PURSUANT TO THE ADVISORY FEE ARRANGEMENT, EXCLUDING ANY INTRA-CORPORATE PROFIT.

The Adviser utilizes two profitability reporting systems, which operate independently but are aligned with each other, to estimate the Adviser’s profitability in connection with investment advisory services provided to the Fund. The Senior Officer has retained a consultant to provide independent advice regarding the alignment of the two profitability systems as well as the methodologies and allocations utilized by both profitability systems. See Section IV for additional discussion.

IV. PROFIT MARGINS OF THE ADVISER AND ITS AFFILIATES FOR SUPPLYING SUCH SERVICES.

The Fund’s profitability information, prepared by the Adviser for the Board of Directors, was reviewed by the Senior Officer and the consultant. The Adviser’s profitability from providing investment advisory services to the Fund increased during calendar year 2008, relative to 2007.²⁰

17 To cite an example, the average net assets and total expense ratio of a fund with a fiscal year end of March 31, 2008 will not be reflective of the market declines that occurred in the second half of 2008, in contrast to a fund with a fiscal year end of December 31, 2008.

18 The total expense ratios shown are for the Fund’s most recent fiscal year end Class A shares.

19 The Fund’s EU includes the Fund, EG and all other IMCG and ILCG funds, excluding outliers.

20 The Adviser’s profitability increased in 2008 as the Fund’s average AUM increased from $2,555.6 million in 2007 to $2,924.5 million in 2008.

ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND  • 65

In addition to the Adviser’s direct profits from managing the Fund, certain of the Adviser’s affiliates have business relationships with the Fund and may earn a profit from providing other services to the Fund. The courts have referred to this type of business opportunity as “fall-out benefits” to the Adviser and indicated that such benefits should be factored into the evaluation of the total relationship between the Fund and the Adviser. Neither case law nor common business practice precludes the Adviser’s affiliates from earning a reasonable profit on this type of relationship provided the affiliates’ charges and services are competitive and the relationship otherwise complies with the 40 Act restrictions. These affiliates provide transfer agent, distribution and brokerage related services to the Fund and receive transfer agent fees, Rule 12b-1 payments, front-end sales loads, contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) and brokerage commissions. In addition, the Adviser benefits from soft dollar arrangements which offset expenses the Adviser would otherwise incur.

AllianceBernstein Investments, Inc. (“ABI”), an affiliate of the Adviser, is the Fund’s principal underwriter. ABI and the Adviser have disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus that they may make revenue sharing payments from their own resources, in addition to resources derived from sales loads and Rule 12b-1 fees, to firms that sell shares of the Fund. In 2008, ABI paid approximately 0.04% of the average monthly assets of the AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds or approximately $21 million for distribution services and educational support (revenue sharing payments). During the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, ABI received from the Fund $127,365, $12,662,895 and $270,797 in front-end sales charges, Rule 12b-1 and CDSC fees, respectively.²¹

Fees and reimbursements for out of pocket expenses charged by AllianceBernstein Investor Services, Inc. (“ABIS”), the affiliated transfer agent for the Fund, are charged on a per account basis, based on the level of service provided and the class of share held by the account. ABIS also receives a fee per shareholder sub-account for each account maintained by an intermediary on an omnibus basis. During the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, ABIS received $1,330,991 in fees from the Fund.²²

The Portfolio may effect brokerage transactions through the Adviser’s affiliate, Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC (“SCB & Co.”) and/or its U.K. affiliate, Sanford C. Bernstein Limited (“SCB Ltd.”), collectively “SCB,” and pay com-

21 The amounts shown are the front end sales charge, 12b-1 and CDSC fees prior to the Fund’s recent merger and do not include amounts of the acquired fund(s).

22 The fees disclosed are net of any expense offsets with ABIS. An expense offset is created by the interest earned on the positive cash balance that occurs within the transfer agent account as there is a one day lag with regards to money movement from the shareholder’s account to the transfer agent’s account and then the transfer agent’s account to the Fund’s account. During the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the fees paid by the Fund to ABIS were reduced by $94,310 under the offset agreement between the Fund and ABIS.

66 •  ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

missions for such transactions. During the Portfolio’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Portfolio did not effect any brokerage transactions with and pay any commission to SCB. The Adviser represented that SCB’s profitability from any future business conducted with the Portfolio would be comparable to the profitability of SCB’s dealings with other similar third party clients. In the ordinary course of business, SCB receives and pays liquidity rebates from electronic communications networks (“ECNs”) derived from trading for its clients. These credits and charges are not being passed onto any SCB client. The Adviser also receives certain soft dollar benefits from brokers that execute agency trades for its clients. These soft dollar benefits reduce the Adviser’s cost of doing business and increase its profitability.

V. POSSIBLE ECONOMIES OF SCALE

The Adviser has indicated that economies of scale are being shared with shareholders through fee structures,²³ subsidies and enhancement to services. Based on some of the professional literature that has considered economies of scale in the mutual fund industry, it is thought that to the extent economies of scale exist, they may more often exist across a fund family as opposed to a specific fund. This is because the costs incurred by the Adviser, such as investment research or technology for trading or compliance systems can be spread across a greater asset base as the fund family increases in size. It is also possible that as the level of services required to operate a successful investment company has increased over time, and advisory firms make such investments in their business to provide services, there may be a sharing of economies of scale without a reduction in advisory fees.

An independent consultant, retained by the Senior Officer, provided the Board of Directors an update of the Deli²⁴ study on advisory fees and various fund characteristics. The independent consultant first reiterated the results of his previous two dimensional comparison analysis (fund size and family size) with the Board of Directors.²⁵ The independent consultant then discussed the results of the regression model that was utilized to study the effects of various factors on advisory fees. The regression model output indicated that the bulk of the variation in fees predicted were explained by various factors, but substantially by fund AUM, family AUM, index fund indicator and investment style. The independent consultant also compared the advisory fees of the AllianceBernstein Mutual

23 Fee structures include fee reductions, pricing at scale and breakpoints in advisory fee schedules.

24 The Deli study was originally published in 2002 based on 1997 data.

25 The two dimensional analysis showed patterns of lower advisory fees for funds with larger asset sizes and funds from larger family sizes compared to funds with smaller asset sizes and funds from smaller family sizes, which according to the independent consultant is indicative of a sharing of economies of scale and scope. However, in less liquid and active markets, such is not the case, as the empirical analysis showed potential for diseconomies of scale in those markets. The empirical analysis also showed diminishing economies of scale and scope as funds surpassed a certain high level of assets.

ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND  • 67

Funds to similar funds managed by 19 other large asset managers, regardless of the fund size and each Adviser’s proportion of mutual fund assets to non-mutual fund assets.

VI. NATURE AND QUALITY OF THE ADVISER’S SERVICES, INCLUDING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND

With assets under management of approximately $411 billion as of March 31, 2009, the Adviser has the investment experience to manage and provide non-investment services (described in Section I) to the Fund.

The information prepared by Lipper shows the 1, 3, 5, and 10 year performance rankings of the Fund²⁶ relative to its Lipper Performance Group (“PG”) and Lipper Performance Universe (“PU”)²⁷ for the periods ended January 31, 2009.²⁸

	Fund Return (%)	PG Median (%)	PU Median (%)	PG Rank	PU Rank
1 year	-49.60	-43.66	-44.37	6/6	18/19
3 year	-14.72	-12.10	-12.23	6/6	16/18
5 year	-0.58	-0.40	-1.28	4/5	5/17
10 year	2.68	0.77	-0.90	1/4	1/12

26 The performance rankings are for the Class A shares of the Fund. It should be noted that the performance returns of the Fund shown were provided by the Adviser. Lipper maintains its own database that includes the Fund’s performance returns. Rounding differences may cause the Adviser’s Fund returns to be one or two basis points different from Lipper’s own Fund returns. To maintain consistency, the performance returns of the Fund, as reported by the Adviser, are provided instead of Lipper.

27 The Fund’s PG and PU is not identical to the Fund��s respective EG and EU as the criteria for including or excluding a fund in a PG or PU are somewhat different from that of an EG or EU.

28 Note that the current Lipper investment classification/objective dictates the PG and PU throughout the life of the fund even if a fund had a different investment classification/objective at a different point in time.

CONCLUSION:

Based on the factors discussed above the Senior Officer’s conclusion is that the proposed advisory fee for the Fund is reasonable and within the range of what would have been negotiated at arm’s-length in light of all the surrounding circumstances. This conclusion in respect of the Fund is based on an evaluation of all of these factors and no single factor was dispositive.

Dated: May 29, 2009

29 The performance returns and risk measures shown in the table are for the Class A shares of the Fund.

30 The Adviser provided Fund and benchmark performance return information for periods through January 31, 2009. It should be noted that the “since inception” performance returns of the Fund’s benchmark goes back only through the nearest month-end after inception date. In contrast, the Fund’s since inception return goes back to the Fund’s actual inception date.

31 Fund and benchmark volatility and Sharpe Ratio information was obtained through Lipper LANA, a database maintained by Lipper. Volatility is a statistical measure of the tendency of a market price or yield to vary over time. A Sharpe Ratio is a risk adjusted measure of return that divides a fund’s return in excess of the riskless return by the fund’s standard deviation. A fund with a greater volatility would be seen as more risky than a fund with equivalent performance but lower volatility; for that reason, a greater return would be demanded for the more risky fund. A fund with a higher Sharpe Ratio would be viewed as better performing than a fund with a lower Sharpe Ratio.
