On December 13, 2002, a complaint entitled Patrick J. Goggins et al. v. Alliance Capital Management L.P. et al. (“Goggins Complaint”) was filed in federal district court in the Southern District of New York against Alliance Capital Management L.P. (“Alliance Capital”), Alliance Premier Growth Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) and individual directors and certain officers of the Fund. The Goggins Complaint alleges that defendants violated the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because the Fund’s registration statements and prospectuses allegedly were materially misleading, contained untrue statements of material fact and omitted material facts in describing the strategic objectives and investment strategies of the Fund in relation to the Fund’s investments, including the Fund’s investments in Enron Corp. securities. Plaintiffs seek rescissory relief or an unspecified amount of compensatory damages. Alliance Capital, the Fund and the other defendants believe the plaintiffs’ allegations in the Goggins Complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against these allegations. At the present time, management of Alliance Capital is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that the outcome of this action may have on Alliance Capital’s results of operations or financial condition.
