CUSIP NO. 000918 102

 

         This Amendment No. 8 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 1999 (the “Schedule 13D”) by Aon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Aon”), Aon Advisors, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Aon Advisors”), Combined Insurance Company of America, an Illinois corporation (“CICA”), and Virginia Surety Company, an Illinois corporation (“VSC”), as previously amended. Aon, Aon Advisors and CICA are sometimes referred to in this Amendment as the “Filing Persons”. The Schedule 13D as previously amended and this Amendment relate to the Common Stock(the “Common Stock”) of ACM Government Opportunity Fund, Inc. (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D as previously amended is hereby amended and

restated in its entirety as follows:

 

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

 

See rows 7 through 11 and row 13 on pages 2 through 4.

 

The Issuer’s earnings release for the fourth quarter ended July 31, 2004 states that, as of July 31, 2004, there were 12,890,686 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The percentage ownership of Aon, Aon Advisors and CICA was derived using this number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between Aon Advisors and CICA, Aon Advisors is invested in, on behalf of and as investment adviser to CICA, 3,666,136 shares of Common Stock. Because Aon is the parent holding company to CICA, Aon indirectly beneficially owns all shares of Common Stock held by CICA.

 

By reason of the purchases of Common Stock made on behalf of CICA, as of the date of this Amendment, Aon, Aon Advisors and CICA share the power to vote or direct the vote and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of 3,666,136 shares of Common Stock, or 28.4% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of July 31, 2004.

 

During the sixty day period preceding the date of this Amendment, none of the Filing Persons effected any transactions in any shares of Common Stock other than the following sales by Aon Advisors on behalf of CICA:
