Item 5. OTHER EVENTS
Between January 6 and January 25, 1995, six complaints were
filed by groups of shareholders of the Alliance North American
Government Income Trust, Inc. (the "Fund") alleging violations of
federal securities laws, fraud, negligence, negligent
misrepresentations and omissions, breach of fiduciary duty and
breach of contract in connection with the Fund's investments in
Mexican and Argentine securities. Four of these actions were filed
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
California, and two actions were filed in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York.
Each of the actions is brought against the Fund, Alliance
Capital Management L.P. ("Partnership"), which is the investment
adviser to the Fund, and Alliance Capital Management Corporation
("ACMC"), the general partner of the Partnership. Other defendants
named in certain of the complaints are Alliance Fund Services, Inc.
(the Fund's transfer agent and a subsidiary of the Partnership) and
certain officers of the Fund and ACMC. It is possible that one or
more additional actions making similar allegations may be filed
against the Partnership and certain of the other entities and
persons noted above.
Each of the actions seeks to have a plaintiff class certified
consisting of all shareholders of the Fund who purchased or owned
shares in the Fund at varying times between February 1992 and
December 1994. The actions seek an unspecified amount of damages,
costs and attorneys fees. The Partnership believes that the
allegations in each of the actions are without merit and intends
to vigorously defend against the claims in the actions.
