Explanation of Responses:
1. On October 30, 2007, Pzena Investment Management, Inc. (the "Corporation" or "Pzena Inc."), 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 the below footnotes), 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. On December 31, 2008, Pzena LLC granted the Reporting Person the right to acquire Class B Units of Pzena LLC for $4.22 per unit until December 31, 2018, subject to earlier expiration upon the occurrence of certain events. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Pzena Inc., when Pzena LLC issues a Class B Unit to a new or existing member of Pzena LLC, Pzena Inc. 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.
