Proprietary - For AllianceBernstein L.P. use only

Certain statements provided by management in this presentation are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. The most significant of these factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the performance of financial markets,
the investment performance of sponsored investment products and separately managed accounts, general economic conditions,
industry trends, future acquisitions, competitive conditions, and government regulations, including changes in tax regulations and
rates and the manner in which the earnings of publicly traded partnerships are taxed. We caution readers to carefully consider
such factors. Further, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made; we
undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such
statements. For further information regarding these forward-looking statements and the factors that could cause actual results to
differ, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A and “Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2008. Any or all of the forward-looking statements that we make in this presentation, Form 10-K, other
documents we file with or furnish to the SEC, and any other public statements we issue, may turn out to be wrong. It is important to
remember that other factors besides those listed in “Risk Factors” and “Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, and
those listed below, could also adversely affect our revenues, financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.

The forward-looking statements referred to in the preceding paragraph include statements regarding:

• Our backlog of new institutional mandates not yet funded:Before they are funded, institutional mandates do
not represent legally binding commitments to fund and, accordingly, the possibility exists that not all mandates will be funded in the
amounts and at the times we currently anticipate.

• Our expectation that, when a sustained market recovery occurs, the potential for outsized investment
returns that has been building should begin to be realized:Historical performance is not necessarily indicative of future
results or market movements.The actual performance of the capital markets and other factors beyond our control will affect our
investment success for clients and asset flows.
