Other Events

Item 8.01.
Other Events.

On November 14, 2007, we indicated that we intended to purchase approximately 200,000 AllianceBernstein Holding Units, from time to time between November 15, 2007 and December 14, 2007, to fund anticipated obligations under certain of our employee deferred compensation plans.

We now expect to make open-market purchases aggregating approximately 450,000 AllianceBernstein Holding Units to fund these anticipated obligations by close of business on December 14, 2007. Depending on market prices of the Units at the times we make purchases, and the number of Units we will need to fund these obligations, the number of Units we actually purchase may vary from this amount.
