Explanation of Responses:
1. On October 30, 2007, the Corporation issued each holder of a Class B Unit of Pzena Investment Management LLC ("Pzena LLC"), each of which is exchangeable for a share of the Corporation's Class A Common Stock (as further described in footnotes 4-8 below), one share of the Corporation's Class B common stock, par value $0.000001 per share (the "Class B Common Stock") in exchange for the par value thereof. Holders of Class B Common Stock are not entitled to participate in any dividends or other distributions made by the Corporation to holders of its capital stock, except for the right to receive the par value thereof upon the Corporation's liquidation or dissolution.
2. Each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder to five (5) votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the Corporation's common stockholders until the first time that the total number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding constitutes 20% of the number of all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding. From such time and thereafter, each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder to one (1) vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the Corporation's common stockholders. When and if a holder exchanges a Class B Unit for a share of Class A Common Stock, the corresponding share of Class B Common Stock will be redeemed and cancelled by the Corporation. Shares of Class B Common Stock are not transferable unless transferred concurrently with the corresponding Class B Unit and with the consent of the Corporation and Pzena LLC.
3. Represents units of Pzena LLC that were reclassified as "Class B Units" of Pzena LLC on a one-for-one basis in connection with the amendment and restatement of Pzena LLC's operating agreement as of October 30, 2007 (the "Amended Pzena LLC Agreement"), among the Corporation, as the Managing Member of Pzena LLC and the holder of certain units of Pzena LLC, and the holders of such reclassified units of Pzena LLC. Pursuant to the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement, each Class B Unit is exchangeable for a share of Class A Common Stock of the Corporation, subject to the timing and volume limitations set forth in the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement (as further described in footnotes 5-8 below).
4. Pursuant to the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement, no Class B Units are exchangeable before the Corporation has filed, and the SEC has declared effective, a registration statement on Form S-3 for the resale of shares of Class A Common Stock that are issuable upon exchange of Class B Units. Pursuant to the Resale and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2007, among the Corporation and the holders of Class B Units as of such date, the Corporation has agreed to use its best effforts to file, and have the SEC declare effective, such a Form S-3 registration statement as soon as practicable after the Corporation becomes eligible to use Form S-3, which is expected to be on or after October 24, 2008.
5. On and after the effective date of such Form S-3 registration statement (the "First Effective Date"), the Corporation will, pursuant to the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement, establish one or more dates (each, an "Exchange Date") in each 12-month period following the First Effective Date (each, an "Annual Period") on which holders of Class B Units may exchange a number of their vested Class B Units that equals a certain percentage of the vested and unvested Class B Units held by them as of the first day of the applicable Annual Period; provided that if the Corporation does not establish at least one Exchange Date in each Annual Period, the Exchange Date for such Annual Period will be the last business day of the Annual Period.
6. Pursuant to the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement, in each Annual Period from the First Effective Date until the date that the Reporting Person's employment with the Corporation and Pzena LLC has been terminated (the "Employment Termination Date"), the Reporting Person and his Permitted Transferees (as defined in the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement) (together, the "Reporting Person Group"), will be entitled to exchange a number of vested Class B Units which is equal to 15% of the number of vested and unvested Class B Units held by the Reporting Person Group as of the first day of each such Annual Period on the applicable Exchange Date(s). From the day following the Employment Termination Date until the first anniversary of the Employment Termination Date, the Reporting Person Group will not be permitted to exchange
7. any Class B Units. From the day following the first anniversary of the Employment Termination Date until six months thereafter, the Reporting Person Group will be able to exchange a number of vested Class B Units which is equal to 75% of the number of vested and unvested Class B Units held by the Reporting Person Group as of the Employment Termination Date on any Exchange Date that occurs within such six month period, if any. Thereafter, the Reporting Person Group will be entitled to exchange any and all of their vested Class B Units on any applicable Exchange Date.
8. On January 1, 2007, Pzena LLC granted the Reporting Person the right to acquire certain units of Pzena LLC for $13.53 per unit. As of October 30, 2007, the Reporting Person had the right to acquire 10,000 of such units as of such date until January 1, 2017, subject to earlier expiration upon te occurence of certain events. In connection with the amendment and restatement of of the operating agreement of Pzena LLC (as further described in footnote 3 above),the Reporting Person's right to acquire such units became rights to acquire 10,000 Class B Units. Pursuant to the Corporation's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, when Pzena LLC issues a Class B Unit to a new or existing member of Pzena LLC, the Corporation will concurrently issue one share of its Class B Common Stock to the holder of such Class B Unit in exchange for the par value thereof.
