Explanation of Responses:

1. Units Representing Assignments of Beneficial Ownership of Limited Partnership Interests ("Holding Units") in AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. ("Holding").

2. On December 19, 2024, AllianceBernstein L.P. ("AB") entered into a Master Exchange Agreement ("Exchange Agreement") providing for the issuance by AB of up to 10,000,000 units ("AB Units") representing assignments of beneficial ownership of limited partnership interests in AB to Equitable Holdings, Inc. ("EQH") and any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries in exchange for an equal number of Holding Units owned by EQH and such subsidiary, with such exchanges to occur from time to time over the next two years. Each Holding Unit so exchanged will be retired following such exchange. At the time the Exchange Agreement was entered into, AB and EQH exchanged 3,766,838 AB Units and AB and Alpha Units Holdings, Inc. exchanged 1,444,356 AB Units, in each case for an equal amount of Holding Units (thereby reducing the 10,000,000 AB Units available for future exchange), and the acquired Holding Units were retired.

3. In addition to the Holding Units reported in this Form 4, the Reporting Person and its affiliates beneficially own AB Units as follows. As of December 19, 2024, EQH beneficially owned directly 61,762,208 AB Units; Alpha Units Holdings, Inc. beneficially owned 75,851,289 AB Units; and Alpha Units Holdings II, Inc. beneficially owned directly 41,934,582 AB Units. For more information on the Reporting Person and its affiliates' holdings of AB Units, see their separate Form 4 filings with respect to AB Units.
