Examples

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses stay the same and that any fee waiver and/or expense limitation is in

effect through the date indicated above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Class A Class C Advisor Class Class I
After 1 Year $ 510 $ 266 * $ 63 $ 65
After 3 Years $ 694 $ 517 $ 202 $ 208
After 5 Years $ 894 $ 894 $ 354 $ 365
After 10 Years $ 1,472 $ 1,749 $ 795 $ 820

____________

* If you did not redeem your shares at the end of the period, your expenses would be decreased by approximately $100.

The section "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" is supplemented to include the following:

Effective on August 1, 2024, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fees and/or bear certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to prevent total Fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than the advisory fees of any AB Funds in which the Fund may invest, interest expense, taxes, extraordinary expenses and brokerage commissions and other transaction costs), on an annualized basis, from exceeding .90%, 1.65%, .65% and .65%, of average daily net assets, respectively, for Class A, Class C, Advisor Class and Class I shares. The agreement will remain in effect until February 28, 2026, and may only be terminated or changed with the consent of the Fund's Board of Trustees. In addition, the agreement will be automatically extended for one-year terms unless the Adviser provides notice of termination to the Fund at least 60 days prior to the end of the period.

Changes in Principal Strategies (Effective on or about October 1, 2024)

The first sentence under "Principal Strategies" is revised and restated as follows:

The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of large capitalization companies that the Adviser believes are undervalued.

The following is added after the first paragraph under "Principal Strategies":

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, including any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of large capitalization companies. For these purposes, "large capitalization companies" are those that, at the time of investment, have market capitalizations within the range of market capitalizations of companies appearing in the Russell 1000 Value Index. While the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 1000 Value Index ranged from approximately $0.3 billion to $490 billion as of May 31, 2024, the Fund normally will invest in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations of at least $5 billion at the time of purchase. The Fund invests primarily in U.S. companies but may invest in non-U.S. companies.

Name Change (Effective on or about October 1, 2024)

The Fund's name is changed to "AB Large Cap Value Fund."

The Statement of Additional Information is revised, as applicable, to incorporate changes conforming to this Supplement.
