Alliance Capital also announced that its Board of Directors authorized a special committee, comprised of the members of Alliance Capital's Audit Committee and the other independent member of the Board, to direct and oversee a comprehensive review of the facts and circumstances relevant to the SEC's and the NYAG's investigations.
