Dear Sir or Madam:

On behalf of AB Fixed-Income Shares, Inc. (the “Fund”), we are transmitting a certification pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In this regard, we certify that the Prospectus for the Fund that would have been filed under Rule 497(c) does not differ from that included in the most recent post-effective amendment to the Fund's registration statement. The post-effective amendment was filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 28, 2019.

A definitive form of the Statement of Additional Information for the Fund will be filed separately pursuant to Rule 497(c).

Please call me at the above-referenced number if you have any questions regarding the attached.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Lauren A. Michnick
