Dear Mr. Gadson :

comment . Please respond by amending the filing . If you do not believe our comment apply to
your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate , please tell us why
in your response.
After reviewing any amendment to the filin g and any informati on provided in response to
this comment , we may have additional comments . Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
have the same meanings ascribed to them in the filing.
Form of Proxy
1. Refer to comment 6 in our prior comment letter dated July 30, 2019. See also, the
adopting release for the “short slate ” rule you are employing here: “Regu lation of
Communications among Shareholders, ” 57 FR 48276 (October 22, 1992). The adopting
release provides a sample form of proxy illustrat ing the formatting of a short slate card
and also provides disclosure guidelines regarding this procedure. We believe this
illustrative format is helpful in avoiding shareholder confusion (to the extent possible) in
identifying which nominees are the Company ’s ve rsus AB Value ’s. Revise the form of
proxy card to distinguish between the Company nominees and your own nom inees, and
to provide a means by which shareholders granting you a proxy can withhold authority
for specific Company nominees. Currently , your card refers only to the ability to
withhold authority for a particular AB Value nominee.
