     ITEM 5.  Other Events.

     On August 3, 1999, Alliance Capital Management L.P. ("Alliance Holding")
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Proxy Statement Prospectus
on Schedule 14A (the "Proxy Statement") in connection with the proposed
transfer of its business to a newly-formed private limited partnership,
Alliance Capital Management L.P. II ("Alliance Capital") in exchange for all
units of Alliance Capital. Upon consummation of the reorganization, Alliance
Capital will conduct unchanged the diversified investment management services
business presently conducted by Alliance Holding, and all employees of Alliance
Holding will become employees of Alliance Capital.

     The Proxy Statement contains selected historical consolidated financial
data of Alliance Holding and selected unaudited pro forma financial data of
Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding, in each case for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, and the capitalization of Alliance Holding on a historical
basis and the capitalization of Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding on a pro
forma basis, in each case as of March 31, 1999. Attached hereto as Exhibits
99.1 and 99.2, respectively, are such selected historical financial data of
Alliance Holding and such selected pro forma financial data of Alliance Holding
and Alliance Capital, each for the six months ended June 30, 1999, and such
capitalization figures of Alliance Holding and Alliance Capital as of June 30,
1999.

     The Proxy Statement also contains unaudited pro forma condensed financial
statements for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 for both Alliance
Holding and Alliance Capital. The pro forma financial statements contained
therein are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of
Alliance Holding set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
ended March 31, 1999 and reflect the effects of the reorganization as if it
occurred on March 31, 1999 (for statement of financial condition purposes) and
January 1, 1998 (for income statement purposes). The pro forma financial
statements do not purport to represent what the financial position or results
of operations of Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding would actually have been
if the reorganization had occurred on these dates, or to be indicative of the
future financial position or results of operations of Alliance Capital and
Alliance Holding. These pro forma financial statements and the notes thereto
should be read in conjunction with Alliance Holding's consolidated financial
statements and notes.

     Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 are unaudited pro forma condensed
financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 for both
Alliance Holding and Alliance Capital. The pro forma financial statements
contained therein are derived from the historical consolidated financial
statements of Alliance Holding set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1998 and and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 1999 and reflect the effects of the
reorganization as if it occurred on June 30, 1999 (for statement of financial
condition purposes) and January 1, 1998 (for income statement purposes). The
pro forma financial statements do not purport to


<PAGE>



represent what the financial position or results of operations of Alliance
Capital and Alliance Holding would actually have been if the reorganization had
occurred on these dates, or to be indicative of the future financial position
or results of operations of Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding. These pro
forma financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction
with Alliance Holding's consolidated financial statements and notes.

     In connection with the reorganization, Alliance Holding is offering to its
unitholders the opportunity to exchange Alliance Holding units for Alliance
Capital units, on a one-for-one basis. The Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the United States ("Equitable Life") and its affiliates, which at June 30, 1999
collectively owned approximately 57% of the outstanding Alliance Holding units,
have agreed with Alliance Holding to exchange substantially all of their
Alliance Holding units on the same terms as the exchange offer. Accordingly,
the pro forma adjustments assume that Equitable Life and its affiliates will
exchange all of their Alliance Holding units for an equivalent number of
Alliance Capital units, except for an amount equal to an approximately 2%
economic interest in Alliance Holding. Alliance Holding is unable to predict
which unitholders, other than Equitable Life and its affiliates, will
participate in the exchange offer. However, for illustrative purposes, the pro
forma adjustments assume that no unitholder will participate in the exchange
offer, other than Equitable Life, its affiliates and other unitholders who,
were they to exchange all of their Alliance Holding units for Alliance Capital
units, would hold a sufficient number of Alliance Capital units to qualify for
certain block transfer safe harbors set forth in United States Treasury
regulations. Based on these assumptions, Alliance Holding would own an
approximately 38.15% limited partnership interest in Alliance Capital at June
30, 1999. Alliance Holding's interest in Alliance Capital will entitle it to a
share of cash distributions from, and in the allocation of profits and losses
of, Alliance Capital in proportion to Alliance Holding's percentage ownership.

     If the reorganization is consummated, Equitable Life has agreed to pay $3
million to Alliance Capital for any internal personnel and overhead costs and
expenses of Alliance Holding, Alliance Capital or their common general partner
relating to the consideration and implementation of the reorganization and the
exchange offer and other expenses relating to the transaction. Equitable Life
has agreed to pay $1.5 million to Alliance Holding for such costs if the
reorganization is not consummated. Any such payment has not been reflected in
the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements because of its
nonrecurring nature and because it is not material. Other expenses incurred in
connection with the reorganization and the exchange offer, estimated to be
approximately $8 million, will be borne by Equitable Life and have not been
reflected in the pro forma condensed financial statements.

     In the future, Alliance Holding will incur various ongoing expenses, which
primarily will include professional, filing and registration fees. Alliance
Capital will reimburse Alliance Holding for all expenses that are necessary or
appropriate for the conduct of the business of Alliance Holding, other than the
3.5% federal tax on gross business income and other taxes.

As these amounts are not expected to be material, they have not been reflected
in the pro forma condensed financial statements.

     Alliance Holding's units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE"). The high and low sale prices on the NYSE during each quarter of the
1999 fiscal year were as follows:

                 1999                     High           Low

                  Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data
                   of Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding

               We have set forth below selected unaudited pro forma financial
data of Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding for the six months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1998.  This pro forma
data has been derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed financial
statements of Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding and includes the
assumptions described under "Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)".  This pro forma data reflects the effects of the reorganization
and the exchange offer as if such transactions occurred on June 30, 1999 (for
balance sheet purposes) and January 1, 1998 (for income statement purposes).
This pro forma data does not purport to represent what the financial position
or results of operations of Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding would
actually have been if the reorganization and the exchange offer had occurred
on these dates, or to be indicative of the future financial position or
results of operations of Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding.  You should
read this pro forma data in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements of Alliance Holding set forth in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1998 and with the information under Item 5 of this

          Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements

               (1) To record the initial capital contribution by Alliance
      Holding, as limited partner, and Alliance Capital Management
      Corporation, as general partner.  Each partner contributed $50 in
      exchange for a 50% interest in Alliance Capital.

               (2) To reflect the transfer of the business of Alliance Holding
      to Alliance Capital in exchange for all of the units and the general
      partnership interest in Alliance Capital.  Alliance Capital will record
      the transferred assets and liabilities at the amounts reflected in
      Alliance Holding's books and records on the date of transfer.  Excluded
      from the transfer from Alliance Holding to Alliance Capital is the
      liability for the 3.5% federal tax on Alliance Holding's gross business
      income.

               (3) To reflect the one-for-one exchange of Alliance Holding
      units for Alliance Capital units.  This pro forma adjustment assumes
      that for the exchange offer (A) Equitable Life and its affiliates will
      exchange all of their Alliance Holding units, except for the amount of
      units necessary for approximately 2% of the outstanding Alliance Holding
      units, for an equivalent number of Alliance Capital units and (B) other
      unitholders, excluding employees, who qualify for the block transfer
      regulations will exchange their Alliance Holding units for an equivalent
      number of Alliance Capital units.  Based on these assumptions, Alliance
      Holding would own, on June 30, 1999, approximately 38.15% of the
      outstanding Alliance Capital units, representing $176,402,000 in
      partner's capital.

               (4) To eliminate the 3.5% federal tax on gross business income
      since Alliance Capital, as a private partnership, would not be subject
      to such a tax.

               (5) Pro forma adjustments to the Alliance Holding statement of
      income consist of the following:

      (a) To record Alliance Holding's share in the net income of Alliance
          Capital accounted for under the equity method.  Alliance Holding's
          equity in earnings of Alliance Capital equates to the pro forma net
          income of Alliance Capital less the general partner's 1% interest
          multiplied by Alliance Holding's ownership share of 38.00%, 37.74%
          and 37.77% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and for
          the year ended December 31, 1998, respectively.

      (b) To record the 3.5% federal tax on Alliance Holding's pro rata share
          of Alliance Capital's gross business income.
