Re: AllianceBernstein Income Fund, Inc.
Ms. Wrapp,
Karpus Management, Inc., d/b/a Karpus Investment Management ("Karpus") represents beneficial ownership of 11,548,588 common shares or 4.8% of the AllianceBernstein Income Fund, Inc. ("ACG" or the "Fund"). Such percentage is based on 242,911,697 shares outstanding, as indicated on the Fund's Semi-Annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 3, 2013.
Pursuant to the ACG's prospectus, Karpus submits this written request to have the Fund submit a proposal to Fund shareholders at its next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders anticipated to be held in March 2013. As indicated in the prospectus, Karpus is requesting the Fund's proposal be one to amend the Fund's Charter to convert the Fund from a closed-end to an open-end investment company. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we believe we are able to submit this request because the Fund has traded at an average discount well in excess of the indicated threshold and we believe it will continue to do so through December 31.
Seemingly, the prospectus language was included to address the very issue plaguing shareholders today. While Karpus does not hold the required 10% or more to satisfy the requirement, we do believe that other shareholders share our sentiment in the need for the Fund to address its wide discount to net asset value.
Sincerely,
/s/
Brett D. Gardner
Sr. Corporate Governance Analyst
