AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (the "Company") will be unable to file its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 (the "Form
10-Q") by the required filing date of May 17, 2010 due to the delay by AXA
Financial, Inc. ("AXA Financial"), its parent company, in the filing of AXA
Financial's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 ("AXA Financial Form
10-Q"). The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial and AXA S.A.
("AXA"). AXA delisted from the New York Stock Exchange effective March 25, 2010
and filed a Form 15-F on March 26, 2010 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to deregister under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
As a result of AXA's deregistration, AXA Financial will no longer be entitled to
file periodic reports using the reduced disclosure format and requires
additional time to prepare the AXA Financial Form 10-Q. The Company expects to
file the Form 10-Q no later than May 24, 2010.
