Explanation of Responses:
1. Class B Shares of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC (the "Company") entitle the holder to one vote per share and generally vote together with the Class A Shares of the Company as a single class on matters submitted to a vote of securityholders. Upon the exchange of an Och-Ziff Operating Group A Unit (as described in note 2) for a Class A Share, one Class B Share will be cancelled for no consideration.
2. An Och-Ziff Operating Group A Unit consists of one Class A Common Unit of each of OZ Advisors LP, OZ Advisors II LP and OZ Management LP (collectively, the "Operating Group Partnerships"). Pursuant to an exchange agreement, the Reporting Person may, subject to the vesting and minimum retained ownership requirements and transfer restrictions set forth in the partnership agreements of the Operating Group Partnerships, exchange Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units for Class A Shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to exchange rate adjustments for splits, distributions and reclassifications. (Continued in Footnote 3)
3. Exchanges generally may be made as and when approved by an exchange committee during the five-year period following the Company's initial public offering and quarterly thereafter.
4. The Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units listed here are held in grantor retained annuity trusts for the benefit of members of the Cohen family. A third party is the trustee of The Michael Cohen GRAT I and The Michael Cohen GRAT II.
5. Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reporting Person herein states that this filing shall not be deemed an admission that he or it is the beneficial owner of any such interests, and disclaims beneficial ownership of such interests, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
