-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLOSED END -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund Annual Report September 30, 2001 [GRAPHIC OMITTED] Alliance Capital [LOGO](R) The Investment Professional's Choice Investment Products Offered --------------------------- o Are Not FDIC Insured o May Lose Value o Are Not Bank Guaranteed --------------------------- ---------------------- LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS ---------------------- LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS November 8, 2001 Dear Shareholder: This report provides investment results, performance information and market outlook for ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund (the "Fund") for the annual reporting period ended September 30, 2001. Investment Objective and Policies This closed-end fund is designed for investors who seek high current income and capital appreciation. To achieve this objective, it invests primarily in high-yielding, high-risk U.S. and non-U.S. fixed income securities, denominated in U.S. dollars, that we expect to benefit from improving economic and credit fundamentals. Investment Results The following table shows how the Fund performed over the six- and 12-month periods ended September 30, 2001. For comparison, we have included a composite benchmark consisting of 65% of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus (JPM EMBI+)--a standard measure of the performance of a basket of unmanaged emerging market debt securities--and 35% of the Credit Suisse First Boston High Yield Index (CSFB HYI)--a standard measure of the performance of a basket of unmanaged U.S. high yield debt securities. We compare the Fund's performance to this composite benchmark because it more closely resembles the composition of the Fund's portfolio. INVESTMENT RESULTS* Periods Ended September 30, 2001 -------------------- Total Returns -------------------- 6 Months 12 Months -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund (NAV) -7.10% -10.08% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus -1.92% 1.77% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credit Suisse First Boston High Yield Index -4.57% -4.92% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Composite: 65%/35% (65% JPM EMBI+ 35% CSFB HYI) -2.85% -0.57% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The Fund's investment results represent total returns for the periods shown and are based on the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund as of September 30, 2001. All fees and expenses related to the operation of the Fund have been deducted. Returns for the Fund include the reinvestment of any distributions paid during the period. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The unmanaged J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus is composed of dollar-denominated restructured sovereign bonds; a large percentage of the index is made up of Brady bonds. The unmanaged Credit Suisse First Boston High Yield Index is a measure of lower- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND o 1 ---------------------- LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS ---------------------- rated, fixed income, non-convertible U.S. dollar-denominated securities meeting certain criteria developed by Credit Suisse designed to enable the index to reflect the high yield market. The composite is from inception of the JPM EMBI+, which was 12/31/93. The indices are unmanaged and reflect no fees or expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and its results are not indicative of any specific investment, including ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund. Additional investment results appear on pages 6 - 8. The Fund underperformed relative to its composite benchmark for both the six- and 12-month periods ended September 30, 2001 primarily due to our emerging market security selection. Additionally, the Fund's use of leverage, during a time when asset prices declined, also contributed to the Fund's underperformance. As discussed in more detail in the market overview section, within the Fund's emerging market allocation, our overweight position in Argentina significantly hurt performance as concerns about the country's economic viability increased. Contributing positively to performance was our underweight position in Brazil and our overweight position in Russia. Within the Fund's high yield allocation, our weighting in the telecommunication and cable sectors detracted from performance, but this was more than offset by our strong security selection. Over the past six-months, we have focused the Fund on defensive sectors such as utilities, domestic cable and gaming. Traditional cyclical sectors such as automotive, steel and metals have been underweighted. Market Overview Global economic growth continued to decelerate since the last reporting period six months ago. In the U.S., restrained capital spending, inventory reductions, shrinking investment and weaker export performance significantly slowed the economy. The events of September 11 had a severe impact on U.S. consumer and investor confidence, key ingredients that were required for recovery. With the economy slowing and underlying inflationary pressures subdued, the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered interest rates 200 basis points from 5.00% to 3.00% and in late May Congress passed a stimulative tax package. (On October 2 and November 6, the Federal Reserve again reduced interest rates a total of 100 basis points to 2.00%--the lowest in four decades.) Growth for the second quarter of 2001 slowed to 0.3%, and reported preliminary growth for the third quarter contracted to -0.4%. The emerging-market sector, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus, produced a return of -1.92% during the six-month period due to poor performance in Argentina and spillover weakness in Brazil. Although other emerging market regions posted positive returns, Argentina and Brazil significantly dampened the overall composite return as together they represent a 40% weight within the composite. The reporting period saw a wide divergence between -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 o ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND ---------------------- LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS ---------------------- Latin countries which returned -7.10% and non-Latin countries which returned 11.77%. Concern about Argentina's ability to continue servicing its debt caused the country's bond prices to decline and resulted in the poorest individual country return within the index, -19.81%. The country's credit rating was lowered twice in the month of July. However, Argentina recouped some of its losses and was the best monthly performer in August with the announcement of an International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout package and indication that the U.S. Treasury would support Argentina. However, at the time of this report, Argentina announced that the government will seek to reduce financing costs on $95 billion of debt in an effort to avoid outright default. Investors remain concerned, however, that Argentina's debt proposal effectively constitutes a default. The country's economic officials announced they would need to reduce annual debt interest payments between $3-$4 billion a year to free up resources to restart the country's ailing economy, now in its fourth year of recession. To help spur the economy, the government is implementing a range of tax cuts and other measures to spark spending, while also pressing the 23 provinces to accept a cut in their guaranteed monthly transfers. Weakness in neighboring Brazil also dampened overall returns in the emerging markets resulting in the second-worst individual country return at -8.03%. Political uncertainty caused by recently held elections, coupled with prospects for tighter and more expensive financing conditions, weakened the Brazilian real (Brazil's currency) and renewed concerns about the country's large financing needs. Turkey, which had posted weak results early in the year amidst a financial crisis in February, rebounded, up 14.23%, as the IMF and World Bank provided a favorable financing package. Other individual countries posting positive returns included Russia at 18.73%, which continues to benefit from economic reforms, positive growth and friendlier ties to the U.S.; Colombia at 11.67%; and Qatar at 6.16%. The high-yield market, as represented by the Credit Suisse First Boston High Yield Index, returned -4.57% for the six-month period. Market sentiment improved dramatically after the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates in January and issuers took advantage of the funding window. However, weakness in the equity markets and the troubled telecommunications sector dampened overall returns throughout the year. Investors reacted to the September 11 attacks by selling high yield securities. High yield securities reached 1000 basis points in yield over Treasuries by the end of the reporting period. Non-cyclical sectors outperformed cyclicals. The best performing industries for the period included finance, food & drug, food/tobacco, health care, pharmaceutical, housing, service and utility. The telecommunications and wireless communications sectors, as well as the consumer durable sectors, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND o 3 ---------------------- LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS ---------------------- underperformed the broader market. Inflows into high yield improved in 2001 and high yield issuance rebounded from a five-year low of $41.6 billion in 2000 to $60 billion during the first half of 2001. However, default rates remained high, reflecting the low financial flexibility of highly leveraged companies. Outlook The events of September 11 have triggered a change in the risk profile of the U.S. economy, with a recession now imminent. We believe the unemployment rate will climb over the next several months, weakening consumer confidence further. We also believe that the Federal Reserve may ease rates further, keeping the yield curve steep. Further fiscal stimulus in the form of additional tax cuts and increased government spending is also anticipated. While the economic recovery will be delayed until the spring of 2002, we believe it will be more robust as a result of the increased monetary and fiscal stimulus. With these short-term difficulties ahead of us, in the high yield sector we will remain relatively defensive, emphasizing sectors such as domestic cable, utilities and health care, which have historically outperformed in down markets. We will move aggressively into cyclical industry sectors such as automotive, paper and chemicals, once we see evidence of a recovery on the horizon. We will maintain our hotel and airline holdings, given their current valuations. We will also maintain our holdings in the gaming industry, as we believe this sector will rebound in the long-term, especially given its historic ability to generate cash flows. The slowing global economy and increased risk aversion will present challenges to the emerging market sector. We believe, however, that near-term deterioration in economic conditions will in time be supplanted by the effects of a massive fiscal stimulus and extremely accommodative monetary policy. While the recent attacks in the U.S. will have a negative effect on global growth and the emerging markets, the strengthening of relations between the U.S. and its allies may have a positive effect. The attacks have also increased the likelihood of continued G7 support for emerging economies. We are also encouraged by recent signs that the emerging market class has shown signs of de-coupling from the problems in Argentina as the effects in other countries have so far been muted. We are currently reducing the Fund's exposure to Argentina due to the increased risk of default. We are, however, increasing our exposure to neighboring Brazil and maintaining our holdings in Mexico. We are also maintaining our overweight position in Russia due to its positive economic outlook and increased geopolitical stature, but do remain concerned about the potential impact that a drop in oil prices could have on the country's near-term cash flow. We are reducing our exposure to Venezuela, which is particularly dependent on higher oil prices. We will continue to monitor troubled regions closely while looking for opportunities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 o ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND ---------------------- LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS ---------------------- Thank you for your continued interest and investment in ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund. 1. Security Valuation Portfolio securities traded on a national securities exchange or on a foreign securities exchange (other than foreign securities exchanges whose operations are similar to those of the United States over-the-counter market) are generally valued at the last reported sale price or, if there was no sale on such day, the last bid price quoted on such day. If no bid prices are quoted, then the security is valued at the mean of the bid and asked prices as obtained on that day from one or more dealers regularly making a market in that security. Securities traded on the over-the-counter market, and securities listed on a foreign securities exchange whose operations are similar to the United States over-the-counter market and securities listed on a national securities exchange whose primary market is believed to be over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked price provided by two or more dealers regularly making a market in such securities. U.S. government securities and other debt securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost unless this method does not represent fair value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or in accordance with procedures approved by, the Board of Directors. Fixed income securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect the fair market value of such securities. Listed put and call options purchased by the Fund are valued at the last sale price. If there has been no sale on that day, such securities will be valued at the closing bid prices on that day. 2. Taxes It is the Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are required. 3. Investment Income and Investment Transactions Interest income is accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold. Investment gains and losses are deter- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24 o ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND ----------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- mined on the identified cost basis. The Fund accretes discounts as adjustments to interest income. 4. Dividends and Distributions Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require such reclassification. During the current fiscal year, permanent differences, primarily due to a tax return of capital, resulted in a net decrease in distributions in excess of net investment income and a corresponding decrease in additional paid-in-capital. This reclassification had no effect on net assets. 5. Change in Accounting Principle In November 2000, the American Institute of Certified Public Account ants (AICPA) issued a revised version of its Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the "Guide"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000. The Guide will require the Fund to amortize premium and discount on fixed-income securities. Upon adoption, the Fund will be required to record a cumulative effect adjustment to reflect the amortization of premiums. The adjustment will reduce net investment income and increase unrealized appreciation on securities by the same amount, and therefore will not impact total net assets. At this time, the analysis of adjustment has not been completed. Although this adjustment affects the financial statements, adoption of this principle will not effect the amount of distributions paid to shareholders, because the Fund determines its required distributions under Federal income tax laws. NOTE B Advisory and Administrative Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays Alliance Capital Management, L.P. (the "Adviser") an advisory fee equal to an annualized rate of .75 of 1% of the average adjusted weekly net assets of the Fund during the month. Under the terms of a Shareholder Inquiry Agency Agreement with Alliance Global Investor Services, Inc. (AGIS) (formerly Alliance Fund Services, Inc.), an affiliate of the Adviser, the Fund reimburses AGIS for costs relating to servicing phone inquiries for the Fund. The Fund reimbursed AGIS $2,000 during the year ended September 30, 2001. Under the terms of an Administration Agreement, the Fund pays Princeton Administrators, L.P. (the "Administrator") a monthly fee equal to the annualized rate of .15 of 1% of the Fund's average adjusted weekly net assets of the Fund during the month. The Administrator prepares financial -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND o 25 ----------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- and regulatory reports for the Fund and provides clerical and other services. NOTE C Investment Transactions Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments, options and U.S. government securities) aggregated $273,400,402 and $280,647,671, respectively, for the year ended September 30, 2001. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government or government agency obligations for the year ended September 30, 2001. At September 30, 2001, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $227,881,880. Accordingly, gross unrealized appreciation of investments was $4,591,653 and gross unrealized depreciation of investments was $39,847,392, resulting in net unrealized depreciation of $35,255,739. At September 30, 2001, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $92,990,518 of which $57,455,739 expires in the year 2007, $24,635,181 expires in the year 2008 and $10,899,598 expires in the year 2009. Capital losses incurred after October 31 ("post-October" losses) within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund's next taxable year. The Fund incurred and will elect to defer net capital losses of $25,917,547 during fiscal year 2001. To the extent they are so used, future capital gains will not be distributed to shareholders until they exceed available capital loss carryovers. 1. Options Transactions For hedging and investment purposes, the Fund may purchase and write (sell) put and call options on U.S. and foreign government securities that are traded on U.S. and foreign securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid. When the Fund writes an option, the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from options written. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security purchased by the Fund. In -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26 o ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND ----------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a security at a price different from the current market value. There were no transactions in options written for the year ended September 30, 2001. 2. Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Fund may enter into interest rate swaps on sovereign debt obligations to protect itself from interest rate fluctuations on the underlying debt instruments and for investment purposes. A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of another party to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interest payment to be received by the Fund, and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore the Fund considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying securities. The Fund records a net receivable or payable on a daily basis for the net interest income or expense expected to be received or paid in the interest period. Net interest received or paid on these contracts is recorded as interest income (or as an offset to interest income). Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swap contracts. At September 30, 2001, the Fund had no outstanding interest rate swap contracts. NOTE D Capital Stock There are 300,000,000 shares of $.01 par value capital stock authorized. During the year ended September 30, 2001 and for the year ended September 30, 2000, the Fund issued 186,638 and 193,135 shares, respectively, in connection with the dividend reinvestment plan. On May 7, 2001, the Fund purchased and retired 248,723 shares of its outstanding common stock for $7.13 per share pursuant to a tender offer. The Fund incurred costs of $212,169, which were charged to additional paid in capital. At May 7, 2001, 22,019,479 shares of common stock were outstanding. The purpose of the tender offer was to fulfill an undertaking made in connection with the initial public offering price of the Fund's shares. NOTE E Bank Borrowing The Fund entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement with Citibank, N.A. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND o 27 ----------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- which was renewed on March 23, 2001. The maximum credit available is $85,000,000 and the amount outstanding as of September 30, 2001 was $62,500,000 with an average interest rate of 6.18%. Interest payments on current borrowings are based on the London Interbank Offered Rate plus a premium. The average daily amount of the loan outstanding during the year ended September 30, 2001 was approximately $58,689,041 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 6.09%. The Fund is also obligated to pay Citibank, N.A. a facility fee computed at the rate of .125 of 1% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit. NOTE F Concentration of Risk Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks, which include the possibility of future political and economic development, which could adversely affect the value of such securities. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the United States Government. The Fund invests in the sovereign debt obligations of countries that are considered emerging market countries at the time of purchase. Therefore, the Fund is susceptible to governmental factors and economic and debt restructuring developments adversely affecting the economies of these emerging market countries. In addition, these debt obligations may be less liquid and subject to greater volatility than debt obligations of more developed countries. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 28 o ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND -------------------- FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS -------------------- FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Selected Data For A Share Of Common Stock Outstanding Throughout Each Period Year Ended September 30, 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 ------------------------------------------------------------ Net asset value, beginning of period .............. $ 8.09 $ 8.39 $ 8.18 $ 15.84 $ 13.08 ------------------------------------------------------------ Income From Investment Operations Net investment income(a) ........... .98 1.08 1.25 1.41 1.45 Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment and option transactions ..........

(b) Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of the period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan. Generally, total investment return based on net asset value will be higher than the total investment return based on market value in periods where there is an increase in the discount or a decrease in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. Conversely, total investment return based on net asset value will be lower than total investment return based on market value in periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an increase in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. Total investment return calculated for a period of less than one year is not annualized. (c) Net interest expense of 1.62%, 1.61%, 1.35%, 1.53%, and 1.35%, respectively, on loan agreements (See Note E). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30 o ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND ------------------------------ REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ------------------------------ REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP INDEPENDENT AUDITORS To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund, Inc. We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), including the portfolio of investments, as of September 30, 2001, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian and others. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund, Inc. at September 30, 2001, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP New York, New York November 9, 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND o 31 ---------------------- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ---------------------- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (unaudited) Shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names may elect to be participants in the Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the "Plan"), pursuant to which dividends and capital gain distributions to shareholders will be paid in or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. State Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Agent") will act as agent for participants under the Plan. Shareholders whose shares are held in the name of a broker or nominee should contact such broker or nominee to determine whether or how they may participate in the Plan. If the Board declares an income distribution or determines to make a capital gain distribution payable either in shares or in cash, as holders of the Common Stock may have elected, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares of Common Stock of the Fund valued as follows: (i) If the shares of Common Stock are trading at net asset value or at a premium above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of net asset value or 95% of the then current market price. (ii) If the shares of Common Stock are trading at a discount from net asset value at the time of valuation, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and apply it to the purchase of the Fund's shares of Common Stock in the open market on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the participants' accounts. Such purchases will be made on or shortly after the payment date for such dividend or distribution and in no event more than 30 days after such date except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchase is necessary to comply with Federal securities laws. If, before the Plan agent has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value of a share of Common Stock, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan agent may exceed the net asset value of the Fund's shares of Common Stock, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. The Agent will maintain all shareholders' accounts in the Plan and furnish written confirmation of all transactions in the account, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Agent in non-certificate form in the name of the participant, and each shareholder's proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. There will be no charges with respect to shares issued directly by the Fund to satisfy the dividend reinvestment requirements. However, each participant will pay a pro-rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Agent's open market purchases of shares. In each case, the cost per share of shares purchased for each shareholder's account will be the average cost, including brokerage commissions, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 32 o ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND ---------------------- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ---------------------- of any shares purchased in the open market plus the cost of any shares issued by the Fund. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any income taxes that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on dividends and distributions. Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan as applied to any voluntary cash payments made and any dividend or distribution paid subsequent to written notice of the change sent to participants in the Plan at least 90 days before the record date for such dividend or distribution. The Plan may also be amended or terminated by the Agent on at least 90 days written notice to participants in the Plan. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Agent at State Street Bank and Trust Company, P.O. Box 366, Boston, Massachusetts 02101. Since the filing of the most recent amendment to the Fund's registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there have been (i) no material changes in the Fund's investment objectives or policies, (ii) no changes to the Fund's charter or by-laws that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Fund, (iii) no material changes in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Fund, and (iv) no change in the person primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio, who is Wayne D. Lyski, the President of the Fund. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM MANAGED DOLLAR INCOME FUND o 33 ---------------------------- GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS ---------------------------- GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS benchmark A standard by which a fund's performance can be measured.
