The forward-looking statements referred to in the preceding paragraph include statements regarding:
< The pipeline 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 currently anticipated.
legally binding commitments to fund and, accordingly, the possibility exists that not all mandates will be funded in the amounts and at
the times currently anticipated.
< The expectation that our current AUM level, coupled with a lower expense base sets the stage for improved financial
results: Unanticipated events and factors, including pursuit of strategic initiatives, may expand AllianceBernstein’s expense base,
thus limiting the extent to which it benefits from any positive leverage in future periods. Growth in revenues will depend on the level of
assets under management, which in turn depends on factors such as the actual performance of the capital markets, the performance
of AllianceBernstein’s investment products and other factors beyond its control.

each of the products that follow, which were included in the simulation as of the following dates: Strategic Value—January 1, 1983; Strategic Growth—January 1, 1983 (ACM Large Cap Growth
used as a proxy for Strategic Growth through January 1, 2001; Strategic Growth used thereafter); Intermediate Municipal Bond Composite—January 1, 1983; Bernstein Tax-Managed International
Fund—July 1, 1992; Emerging Markets Fund—January 1, 1996; AllianceBernstein Institutional REIT Fund—July 1, 2001. The AllianceBernstein Institutional REIT Fund was removed from the
simulation on December 31, 2008. The portfolio was rebalanced quarterly through December 31, 2005; monthly thereafter. Simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. The
results may not reflect the impact that certain material economic and market factors might have had on actual decision making if they were reflective of a managed account. No representation is
being made that any account will, or is likely to, achieve profits or losses similar to those described herein.
