Explanation of Responses:
1. On February 20, 2004, SCB Partners Inc. ("Partners") delivered an exercise notice to AXA Financial, Inc. ("AXF") informing AXF of Partners' intention to require AXF (or its designee) to purchase 8,160,000 Units from Partners in accordance with the terms of a purchase agreement dated as of June 20, 2000 ("Purchase Agreement"), among AXF, Alliance Capital Management L.P. and SCB Inc. ("SCB"). The purchase price for each Unit that may be sold to AXF pursuant to the Purchase Agreement upon delivery of such exercise notice will be the average closing prices of a Holding Unit (as defined below) as quoted on the NYSE Composite Transaction Tape for the ten trading days ending on the fifth trading day following February 20, 2004. Upon the purchase by AXF (or its designee) of the 8,160,000 Units, Partners will hold 24,480,000 Units.
2. As used herein, the term "Holding Unit" means a unit representing assignments of beneficial ownership of limited partnership inte rests in Alliance Capital Management Holding L.P.
3. Partners is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of SCB. SCB, through its ownership of Partners, may be deemed to own beneficially and indirectly 24,480,000 Units. SCB disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein. Reporting Person, by virtue of his position as a stockholder of SCB, may be deemed to own beneficially and indirectly 24,480,000 Units. Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
4. Reporting Person was granted an award that represents a notional interest in 88,013 Units held by Partners. Such Units, which do not trade publicly, may be deemed to be derivative securities of Holding Units, which are listed on the NYSE. The value of Units may for some purposes be determined by reference to the price of Holding Units. As a result of the transaction described in footnote 1, Reporting Person's notional interest was reduced by 22,513 Units, for which Reporting Person will receive cash consideration in accordance with the formula set forth in footnote 1. Reporting Person may be deemed to have an indirect interest in 65,500 Units or Holding Units.
