ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN CLOSED-END FUNDS ANNOUNCE DISTRIBUTION RATES

NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The AllianceBernstein Closed-End Funds declared the following distributions today:                

With respect to the AllianceBernstein National Municipal Income Fund, the distribution rate is $0.067, which represents an increase of $0.01682 from the $0.05018 per share previously paid by the Fund. The increase is due to the adoption of a managed distribution policy. Under the policy, the Fund intends to make regular monthly distributions to shareholders at a level established from time to time by the Fund's Board of Directors.  If distributions under the policy exceed the Fund's aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains with respect to a given year, the difference will generally constitute a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital may occur when some or all of the money a shareholder invested in the Fund is returned to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect the Fund's performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income". Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's performance from the amount of the Fund's distributions or from the terms of the policy. The Fund is not required to maintain a managed distribution policy and the Fund's Board of Directors may modify or terminate such policy at any time.  The Fund will issue a notice to shareholders which will provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other related information. The amounts and compositions of the Fund's distributions to be reported to shareholders will be estimates and will not be provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send a Form 1099- DIV to shareholders for the calendar year that will describe how to report the Fund's distributions for federal income tax purposes.

The Funds are managed by AllianceBernstein L.P.
