F2: These AB Units are directly owned by AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company ("AXA Equitable"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial.

F3: These AB Units are directly owned by AXA Financial (Bermuda) Ltd. ("AXA Bermuda"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial.

F4: AXA indirectly owns all of the common stock (the "Common Stock") of AXA Financial, which is the direct and indirect beneficial owner of the securities covered by this Form 4. As of December 31, 2007, AXA Assurances I.A.R.D. Mutuelle and AXA Assurances Vie Mutuelle (collectively, the "Mutuelles AXA"), directly and indirectly owned approximately 14.48% of the issued ordinary shares (representing approximately 20.84% 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.

F6: In addition to the AB Units reported in this Form 4, the Reporting Persons beneficially own units ("Holding Units") representing assignments of beneficial ownership of limited partnership interests in AllianceBernstein Holding L.P.

Equitable Holdings, LLC wholly owns AllianceBernstein Corporation, the general partner of both AllianceBernstein and Holding. As of December 30, 2008, Holding owned 90,323,767 AB Units. For more information on the Reporting Persons' holdings of Holding Units, see their separate Form 4 filings with respect to Holding Units.

F7: The AB Units are highly illiquid, and the ability of a holder of AB Units to exchange them in the future for Holding Units if it so desires is substantially limited. In general, transfers of AB Units will be allowed only with the written consent of both AXA Equitable and the general partner of AllianceBernstein. 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.
