As of February 28, 2006, the Mutuelles AXA, as a group, directly and indirectly owned approximately 14.30% of the issued ordinary shares (representing approximately 23.29% of the voting power) of AXA. The Mutuelles AXA and AXA expressly declare that the filing of this Form 4 shall not be construed as an admission that either of them is, for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Form 4.
F5: AXA has deposited its shares of Common Stock into a voting trust. AXA will remain the indirect beneficial owner of such Common Stock, but during the term of the voting trust, the AXA Voting Trustees will exercise all voting rights with respect to the Common Stock. Accordingly, the AXA Voting Trustees may be deemed to beneficially own the securities covered by this Form 4. The AXA Voting Trustees expressly declare that the filing of this Form 4 shall not be construed as an admission that any of them is, for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Form 4.

AXA Equitable and the general partner of AllianceBernstein have stated that they intend to refuse to consent to any transfer that is not described in the safe harbors set forth in the United States Treasury regulations.

("SCB") and AllianceBernstein's, dated as of June 20, 2000 (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which it granted SCB the right, beginning on the second anniversary of the closing of AllianceBernstein's acquisition of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of SCB (the "Acquisition"), to cause AXA Financial (or its designee) to purchase AB Units received by SCB as part of consideration for the Acquisition (in the aggregate, such AB Units are referred to herein as the "Equity Consideration"). This right is exercisable no more than once annually during each of the eight years following the second anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition (October 2, 2000), in an amount not to exceed 20% of the AB Units paid to SCB as part of the Equity Consideration per year and subject to deferral under certain circumstances.
