The AllianceBernstein Funds or your Plan Administrator have contacted you multiple times regarding the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") scheduled for December 16, 2010 requesting your vote on proposals for several of the AllianceBernstein Funds. As of today, December 3, 2010, we have not received enough shares to pass these important proposals. As a result we may need to adjourn the meeting for a second time to a later date. After repeated attempts, we have not yet received your vote. Shareholder action is required to approve the proposals for the Funds. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the AllianceBernstein Funds, please accept my thanks for your participation in this important matter. Sincerely, Robert M.
