On March 26, 2026, Equitable Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Equitable"), the owner of AllianceBernstein L.P. (the "Adviser"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Equitable, Corebridge Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Corebridge"), and various Corebridge subsidiaries. Equitable and Corebridge have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, to effect an all-stock merger transaction to combine their respective businesses into a newly formed company (the "Transaction").
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), an investment advisory agreement between a registered investment company, such as the Funds, and its investment adviser must include a provision providing for its automatic termination upon its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act). The closing of the Transaction may be deemed an "assignment" of the investment advisory agreement between each Fund and the Adviser.
In anticipation of the closing of the Transaction and in order to ensure that the existing investment advisory services can continue uninterrupted following the Transaction, the Adviser recommended that the Board of Directors/Trustees of each Fund (each, a "Board" and collectively, the "Boards") consider and approve the new investment advisory agreements ("New Agreements"), as well as interim advisory agreements ("Interim Agreements"), to be effective in the event that stockholder approval of a New Agreement is not obtained as of the date of the Transaction.
At in-person meetings of the Boards held on May 5-7, 2026, the Boards voted unanimously to (i) approve the New Agreements and Interim Agreements for each Fund with the Adviser, the terms and conditions of which will be identical to those of the existing investment advisory agreements in all material respects, and (ii) recommend that each Fund's stockholders approve the New Agreements.
Approval of the New Agreements will be submitted for consideration and approval by stockholders of each Fund at an upcoming meeting of stockholders (the "Meeting"). In addition to the proposal seeking approval of the New Agreement, stockholders of each Fund will be asked at the Meeting to consider and vote upon the election of Directors/Trustees of the Fund.

This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectuses for the Funds.
You should retain this Supplement with your Prospectus(es) for future reference.
