1290 Avenue of the Americas

New York, New York 10104

            , 2011

Dear Contractholder:

Enclosed is a notice of a Special Meeting of Shareholders of each of the following Portfolios:

 

   

EQ/Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio (the “Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio”), and

 

   

EQ/Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio” and together, the “Acquired Portfolios”).

Each Acquired Portfolio is a portfolio of EQ Advisors Trust (the “Trust”). The Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Acquired Portfolios is scheduled to be held at the Trust’s offices, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10104, on April 20, 2011 at                     , Eastern time (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Acquired Portfolios will be asked to approve the proposals described below.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has called the Meeting to request shareholder approval of the reorganization of each Acquired Portfolio into a corresponding series of the Trust (the “Acquiring Portfolios”) (the “Reorganizations”) as set forth below:

 

   

the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio into the EQ/Large Cap Growth PLUS Portfolio, and

 

   

the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio into the EQ/Large Cap Value Index Portfolio.

The Board of Trustees has approved these proposals.

Each Portfolio is managed by AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA Equitable”) and sub-advised by one or more investment sub-advisers. In each case, if a Reorganization is approved and implemented, each Contractholder that invests indirectly in an Acquired Portfolio will automatically become a Contractholder that invests indirectly in the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio.

As an owner of an annuity contract or certificate and/or life insurance policy that participates in the Acquired Portfolios through the investment divisions of separate accounts established by AXA Equitable, MONY Life Insurance Company or MONY Life Insurance Company of America (each, an “Insurance Company”), you are entitled to instruct the applicable Insurance Company how to vote the Acquired Portfolio shares related to your interest in those accounts as of the close of business on January 31, 2011. The attached Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and Combined Proxy Statement and Prospectus concerning the Meeting describe the matters to be considered at the Meeting.


You are cordially invited to attend the Meeting. Since it is important that your vote be represented whether or not you are able to attend, you are urged to consider these matters and to exercise your voting instructions by completing, dating, signing, and returning the enclosed voting instruction card in the accompanying return envelope at your earliest convenience or by relaying your voting instructions via telephone or the Internet by following the enclosed instructions. Of course, we hope that you will be able to attend the Meeting, and if you wish, you may vote your shares in person, even though you may have already returned a voting instruction card or submitted your voting instructions via telephone or the Internet. Please respond promptly in order to save additional costs of proxy solicitation and in order to make sure you are represented.

 

Very truly yours,

AXA EQUITABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

INFORMATION STATEMENT

REGARDING A SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF

EQ/CAPITAL GUARDIAN GROWTH PORTFOLIO

EQ/LORD ABBETT GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO

EACH A SERIES OF EQ ADVISORS TRUST

TO BE HELD ON APRIL 20, 2011

DATED:             , 2011

GENERAL

This Information Statement is being furnished by AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA Equitable”), MONY Life Insurance Company or MONY Life Insurance Company of America (each, an “Insurance Company” and together, the “Insurance Companies”), each of which is a stock life insurance company, to owners of their variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts or certificates (the “Contracts”) (the “Contractholders”) who, as of January 31, 2011 (the “Record Date”), had net premiums or contributions allocated to the investment divisions of their separate accounts (the “Separate Accounts”) that are invested in shares of one or more of the following Portfolios:

 

   

EQ/Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio, and

 

   

EQ/Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio (together, the “Acquired Portfolios”).

Each Acquired Portfolio is a portfolio of EQ Advisors Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an open-end management investment company.

Each Insurance Company is required to offer Contractholders the opportunity to instruct it, as the record owner of all of the shares of beneficial interest in the Acquired Portfolios (the “Shares”) held by its Separate Accounts, as to how it should vote on the reorganization proposals (the “Proposals”) to be considered at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Acquired Portfolios referred to in the preceding Notice and at any adjournments (the “Meeting”). The enclosed Combined Proxy Statement and Prospectus, which you should retain for future reference, sets forth concisely information about the proposed reorganizations involving the Acquired Portfolios and corresponding series of the Trust that a Contractholder should know before completing the enclosed voting instruction card.

AXA Financial, Inc. is the parent company of each Insurance Company and is a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA, a French insurance holding company. The principal executive offices of AXA Financial, Inc. and each Insurance Company are located at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10104.

This Information Statement and the accompanying voting instruction card are being mailed to Contractholders on or about February     , 2011.

HOW TO INSTRUCT AN INSURANCE COMPANY

To instruct an Insurance Company as to how to vote the Shares held in the investment divisions of its Separate Accounts, Contractholders are asked to promptly complete their voting instructions on the enclosed voting instruction card(s); and sign, date and mail the voting instruction card(s) in the accompanying postage-paid envelope. Contractholders also may provide voting instructions by phone at 1-800-             or by Internet at our website at                     .

If a voting instruction card is not marked to indicate voting instructions but is signed, dated and returned, it will be treated as an instruction to vote the Shares in favor of the Proposal(s).


The number of Shares held in the investment division of a Separate Account corresponding to an Acquired Portfolio for which a Contractholder may provide voting instructions was determined as of the Record Date by dividing (i) a Contract’s account value (minus any Contract indebtedness) allocable to that investment division by (ii) the net asset value of one Share of the corresponding Acquired Portfolio. At any time prior to an Insurance Company’s voting at the Meeting, a Contractholder may revoke his or her voting instructions with respect to that investment division by providing the Insurance Company with a properly executed written revocation of such voting instructions, properly executing later-dated voting instructions by a voting instruction card, telephone or the Internet, or appearing and voting in person at the Meeting.

HOW AN INSURANCE COMPANY WILL VOTE

An Insurance Company will vote the Shares for which it receives timely voting instructions from Contractholders in accordance with those instructions. An Insurance Company will vote Shares attributable to Contracts for which it is the Contractholder “FOR” each applicable Proposal. Shares in each investment division of a Separate Account for which an Insurance Company receives a voting instruction card that is signed, dated and timely returned but is not marked to indicate voting instructions will be treated as an instruction to vote the Shares in favor of the applicable Proposal. Shares in each investment division of a Separate Account for which an Insurance Company receives no timely voting instructions from Contractholders, or that are attributable to amounts retained by AXA Equitable as surplus or seed money, will be voted by the applicable Insurance Company either for or against approval of the Proposals, or as an abstention, in the same proportion as the Shares for which Contractholders (other than the Insurance Company) have provided voting instructions to the Insurance Company.

OTHER MATTERS

The Insurance Companies are not aware of any matters, other than the specified Proposals, to be acted on at the Meeting. If any other matters come before the Meeting, an Insurance Company will vote the Shares upon such matters in its discretion. Voting instruction cards may be solicited by employees of AXA Equitable or its affiliates as well as officers and agents of the Trust. The principal solicitation will be by mail but voting instructions may also be solicited by telephone, telegraph, fax, personal interview, the Internet or other permissible means.

If the necessary quorum to transact business is not established or the vote required to approve or reject a Proposal is not obtained at the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting in accordance with applicable law to permit further solicitation of voting instructions. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment with respect to those Shares for which they received voting instructions in favor of a Proposal and will vote against any such adjournment those Shares for which they received voting instructions against a Proposal.

It is important that your Contract be represented. Please promptly mark your voting instructions on the enclosed voting instruction card; then sign, date and mail the voting instruction card in the accompanying postage-paid envelope. You may also provide your voting instructions by telephone at 1-800-             or by Internet at our website at                     .

SUMMARY

You should read this entire Proxy Statement/Prospectus carefully. For additional information, you should consult the Reorganization Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Reorganization Plan”).

The Proposed Reorganizations

This Proxy Statement/Prospectus is soliciting shareholders with amounts invested in one or more of the Acquired Portfolios as of January 31, 2011 to approve the Reorganization Plan, whereby each Acquired Portfolio will be reorganized into the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio. (Each Acquired Portfolio and Acquiring Portfolio is sometimes referred to herein as a “Portfolio.”)

Each Acquired Portfolio’s shares are divided into two classes, designated Class IA and Class IB shares (“Acquired Portfolio Shares”). Each Acquiring Portfolio’s shares also are divided into two classes, designated Class IA and Class IB shares (“Acquiring Portfolio Shares”). The rights and preferences of each class of Acquiring Portfolio Shares are identical to the corresponding class of Acquired Portfolio Shares.

The Reorganization Plan provides, with respect to each Reorganization, for:

 

   

the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Portfolio to the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio in exchange for Acquiring Portfolio Shares having an aggregate net asset value equal to the Acquired Portfolio’s net assets;

 

   

the Acquiring Portfolio’s assumption of all the liabilities of the Acquired Portfolio;

 

   

the distribution to the shareholders (for the benefit of the Separate Accounts, as applicable, and thus the Contractholders) of those Acquiring Portfolio Shares; and

 

   

the complete termination of the Acquired Portfolio.

A comparison of the investment objective(s), investment policies, strategies and principal risks of each Acquired Portfolio and its corresponding Acquiring Portfolio is included in “Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Strategies” and “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below. The Portfolios have identical distribution procedures, purchase procedures, exchange rights and redemption procedures, which are discussed in “Additional Information about the Acquiring Portfolios” below. Each Portfolio offers its shares to Separate Accounts and certain other eligible investors. Shares of each Portfolio are offered and redeemed at their net asset value without any sales load. You will not incur any sales loads or similar transaction charges as a result of a Reorganization.

Subject to shareholder approval, each Reorganization is expected to be effective at the close of business on May 6, 2011, or on a later date the Trust decides upon (the “Closing Date”). As a result of each Reorganization, each shareholder invested in shares of one or more of the Acquired Portfolios would become an owner of shares of the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio. Each such shareholder would hold, immediately after the Closing Date, Class IA or Class IB shares of the applicable Acquiring Portfolio having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of the Class IA or Class IB Acquired Portfolio Shares, as applicable, that were held by the shareholder as of the Closing Date. Similarly, each Contractholder whose Contract values are invested in shares of one or more of the Acquired Portfolios would become an indirect owner of shares of the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio. Each such Contractholder would indirectly hold, immediately after the Closing Date, Class IA or Class IB shares of the applicable Acquiring Portfolio having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of the Class IA or Class IB Acquired Portfolio Shares, as applicable, that were indirectly held by the Contractholder as of the Closing Date. The consummation of any one Reorganization is not contingent on the consummation of any other Reorganization. The Trust believes that there will be no adverse tax consequences to shareholders or Contractholders as a result of the Reorganizations. Please see “Additional Information about the Reorganizations – Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganizations” below for further information.

 

1


The Board has unanimously approved the Reorganization Plan with respect the Portfolios involved therein. Accordingly, the Board is submitting the Reorganization Plan for approval by each Acquired Portfolio’s shareholders. In considering whether to approve a proposal (a “Proposal”), you should review the Proposal for the Acquired Portfolio(s) in which you were a direct or indirect holder on the Record Date (as defined under “Voting Information”). In addition, you should review the information in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus that relates to all of the Proposals and the Reorganization Plan generally. The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Proposals to approve the Reorganization Plan.

 

PROPOSAL 1:    APPROVAL OF THE REORGANIZATION PLAN WITH RESPECT TO THE REORGANIZATION OF THE CAPITAL GUARDIAN GROWTH PORTFOLIO INTO THE GROWTH PLUS PORTFOLIO.

This Proposal 1 requests your approval of the Reorganization Plan, pursuant to which the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio will be reorganized into the Growth PLUS Portfolio.

In considering whether you should approve this Proposal, you should note that:

 

   

The Portfolios have identical investment objectives. Each Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital.

 

   

The Portfolios have substantially similar investment policies. Each Portfolio invests primarily in large-cap equity securities. In addition, each Portfolio seeks to invest primarily in securities of companies that have “growth” characteristics (e.g., higher forecasted growth values and/or higher price-to-book ratios). Each Portfolio also may invest in foreign securities, derivatives (e.g., futures contracts) and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). There are, however, differences in the Portfolios’ primary investment policies and strategies of which you should be aware.

One primary difference between the two Portfolios is that the Growth PLUS Portfolio normally allocates its assets among three investment advisers, each of which manages its portion of the Portfolio using a different but complementary investment strategy. One portion of the Growth PLUS Portfolio is actively managed by an investment sub-adviser (“Adviser”) (the “Active Allocated Portion”); one portion of the Portfolio seeks to track the performance of a particular index (the “Index Allocated Portion”); and one portion of the Portfolio invests in ETFs (the “ETF Allocated Portion”). The Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio is actively managed by one Adviser and does not have an Index Allocated Portion or ETF Allocated Portion; however, each Portfolio uses the Russell 1000 Growth Index as its benchmark index. The Capital Guardian Portfolio also may invest, to a limited extent, in ETFs.

In addition, while each Portfolio may invest in derivatives, the Growth PLUS Portfolio may invest in derivatives to a greater extent than the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio and normally uses derivatives to a greater extent than the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio to manage the Portfolio’s equity exposure (the “tactical strategy”).

Also, while each Portfolio may invest in foreign securities, the Active Allocated Portion of the Growth PLUS Portfolio may invest up to 25% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers, while the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio does not have a stated limit with respect to investments in foreign securities. For a detailed comparison of the each Portfolio’s investment policies and strategies, see “Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Strategies” below.

 

   

The Portfolios also have comparable risk profiles, although there are differences of which you should be aware. Each Portfolio’s principal risks include equity risk, foreign securities risk (including currency risk), investment style risk and large-cap company risk. The Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio, however, also is subject to depositary receipts risk and mid-cap and small-cap company risk, while the Growth PLUS Portfolio generally is not. In addition, the principal risks of investing in the Growth PLUS Portfolio also include derivatives risk, emerging markets risk, ETF risk, focused portfolio risk, index strategy risk and portfolio turnover risk, which are not principal risks of investing in the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio. For a detailed comparison of the each Portfolio’s risks, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

AXA Equitable (the “Manager”) serves as the investment manager and administrator for each Portfolio and would continue to manage and administer the Growth PLUS Portfolio after the Reorganization. AXA Equitable has received an exemptive order from the SEC that generally permits AXA Equitable and the Board to appoint, dismiss and replace each Portfolio’s Adviser(s) and to amend the advisory agreements between AXA Equitable and the Advisers without obtaining shareholder approval (except with respect to Affiliated Advisers (as defined herein)). AXA Equitable has appointed one Adviser to manage the assets of the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio. In particular, Capital Guardian Trust Company currently serves as the Adviser for the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio. AXA Equitable has appointed two Advisers to manage distinct portions of the Growth PLUS Portfolio’s assets. In particular, Marsico Capital Management, LLC, which is responsible for the management of the Active Allocated Portion of the Growth PLUS Portfolio, and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC, which is responsible for the Index Allocated Portion of the Growth PLUS Portfolio, currently serve as Advisers to the Growth PLUS Portfolio and it is anticipated that they will continue to advise their respective portion of the Growth PLUS Portfolio after the Reorganization. In addition, AXA Equitable is responsible for the management of the ETF Allocated Portion of the Growth PLUS Portfolio and the implementation of the tactical strategy, and it is anticipated that it would continue to manage the ETF Allocated Portion and implement the tactical strategy for the Growth PLUS Portfolio after the Reorganization. For a detailed description of the Manager and the Growth PLUS Portfolio’s Advisers, please see “Additional Information about the Acquiring Portfolios - The Manager” and “- The Advisers” below.

 

   

The Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio and Growth PLUS Portfolio had net assets of approximately $351.1 million and $1.74 billion, respectively, as of October 31, 2010. Thus, if the Reorganization had been in effect on that date, the combined Portfolio would have had net assets of approximately $2.09 billion.

 

   

Class IA shareholders of the Capital Guardian Portfolio will receive Class IA shares of the Growth PLUS Portfolio, and Class IB shareholders of the Capital Guardian Portfolio will receive Class IB shares of the Growth PLUS Portfolio, pursuant to the Reorganization. Shareholders will not pay any sales charges in connection with the Reorganization. Please see “Comparative Fee and Expense Tables,” “Additional Information about the Reorganizations” and “Additional Information about the Acquiring Portfolios” below for more information.

 

   

It is estimated that the annual operating expense ratios for the Growth PLUS Portfolio’s Class IA and Class IB shares, for the fiscal year following the Reorganization, will be the same as those of the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio’s Class IA and Class IB shares, respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. For a more detailed comparison of the fees and expenses of the Portfolios, please see “Comparative Fee and Expense Tables” and “Additional Information about the Acquiring Portfolios” below.

 

   

The maximum management fee for the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio is equal to an annual rate of 0.65% of its average daily net assets, while the maximum management fee for the Growth PLUS Portfolio is equal to an annual rate of 0.50% of its average daily net assets. The administration fee schedule for the Capital Guardian Portfolio is $30,000 per year, plus its proportionate share of an asset-based administration fee for the Trust, which is equal to an annual rate of 0.12% of the first $3 billion of total Trust average daily net assets (exclusive of certain Portfolios, including the Growth PLUS Portfolio), 0.11% of the next $3 billion, 0.105% of the next $4 billion, 0.10% of the next $20 billion and 0.0975% thereafter. The Growth PLUS Portfolio pays AXA Equitable an annual fee of $32,500 plus its proportionate share of an asset-based administration fee, which is equal to an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $20 billion of the Growth PLUS Portfolio’s and certain other of the Trust’s multi-adviser portfolios’ aggregate average daily net assets, 0.125% of the next $5 billion of these portfolios’ aggregate average daily net assets, and 0.10% on these portfolios’ aggregate average daily net assets thereafter, and an additional $32,500 for each portion of the Growth PLUS Portfolio for which separate administrative services are provided (e.g., portions of the Growth PLUS Portfolio allocated to separate Advisers and/or managed in a discrete style). For a more detailed description of the fees and expenses of the Portfolios, please see “Comparative Fee and Expense Tables” and “Additional Information about the Acquiring Portfolios” below.

Following the Reorganization, the combined Portfolio will be managed in accordance with the investment objective, policies and strategies of the Growth PLUS Portfolio. It is not expected that the Growth PLUS Portfolio will revise any of its investment policies following the Reorganization to reflect those of the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio. AXA Equitable has reviewed Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio’s current portfolio holdings and determined that all or a substantial portion of the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio’s holdings is consistent with the Growth PLUS Portfolio’s investment objectives and policies and thus, if the Reorganization is approved, could be transferred to and held by the Growth PLUS Portfolio. However, it is expected that some of those holdings may not remain at the time of the Reorganization due to normal portfolio turnover. If the Reorganization is approved, the Manager will liquidate the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio’s holdings that, based on market conditions and an assessment by the Manager and the Growth PLUS Portfolio’s Advisers, are not compatible with the Growth PLUS Portfolio’s current portfolio composition, investment objective and policies, or investment strategies. The proceeds of such liquidation will be held in temporary investments or reinvested in assets that are consistent with the Growth PLUS Portfolio’s investment objective, policies and strategies. Although any sale of portfolio investments in connection with the Reorganization would be conducted in an orderly manner, the need for a Portfolio to sell such investments may result in its selling securities at a disadvantageous time and price and could result in the Portfolio realizing gains (or losses) that otherwise would not have been realized and incurring transaction costs that otherwise would not have been incurred.

 

   

The Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio will bear its proportionate share of the expenses of the Reorganizations described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, subject to an aggregate maximum of $100,000 for the Acquired Portfolios. AXA Equitable generally will bear expenses of the Reorganizations in excess of this amount, subject to certain limitations. Please see “Additional Information about the Reorganizations” below for more information.

Comparative Fee and Expense Tables

The following tables show the fees and expenses of each class of shares of each Portfolio and the estimated pro forma fees and expenses of each class of shares of the Acquiring Portfolio after giving effect to the proposed Reorganization. Fees and expenses for each Portfolio are based on those incurred by each class of its shares for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The pro forma fees and expenses of the Acquiring Portfolio Shares assume that the Reorganization has been in effect for the last year ended June 30, 2010. The tables below do not reflect any Contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses. See a Contract prospectus for a description of those fees and expenses.

Example of Portfolio Expenses

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Portfolios with the cost of investing in other investment options. The example assumes that:

 

   

You invest $10,000 in a Portfolio for the time periods indicated;

 

   

Your investment has a 5% return each year;

 

   

The Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same; and

 

   

The expense limitation currently in effect is not renewed.

This example does not reflect any Contract-related fees and expenses, including redemption fees (if any) at the Contract level. If such fees and expenses were reflected, the total expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

Each Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect a Portfolio’s performance. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the portfolio turnover rate for the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio and Growth PLUS Portfolio was 50% and 43%, respectively, of the average value of the Portfolio.

Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Strategies

The following table compares the investment objectives and principal investment policies and strategies of the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio with those of the Growth PLUS Portfolio. The Board may change the investment objective of a Portfolio without a vote of the Portfolio’s shareholders. For more detailed information about each Portfolio’s investment strategies and risk, see Appendix B.

  Same.
Principal Investment Strategies  

Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of large-cap companies (or other financial instruments that derive their value from the securities of such companies).

 

For this Portfolio, large-cap companies mean those companies with market capitalizations within the range of the following indices at the time of purchase: S&P 500 Index (market capitalization range of approximately $1.1 billion - $322.7 billion as of December 31, 2009), Russell 1000 Index (market capitalization range of approximately $262.5 million - $322.7 billion as of December 31, 2009), S&P 100 Index (market capitalization range of approximately $6.3 billion - $322.7 billion as of December 31, 2009) Morningstar Large Core Index (market capitalization range of approximately $9.7 billion - $203.7 billion), NYSE 100 Index (market capitalization $14.4 billion - $322.7 billion as of December 31, 2009).

 

The Adviser seeks to achieve the Portfolio’s investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. issuers and securities whose principal markets are in the U.S., including American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”) and other U.S.-registered foreign securities.

 

The Portfolio normally is invested primarily in common stocks or other equity securities of companies with market capitalization greater than $1.5 billion at the time of purchase.

The Portfolio’s assets normally are allocated among three investment managers, each of which manages its portion of the Portfolio using a different but complementary investment strategy. One portion of the Portfolio is an Active Allocated Portion; one portion of the Portfolio is an Index Allocated Portion; and one portion of the Portfolio is an ETF Allocated Portion. Under normal circumstances, the Active Allocated Portion consists of approximately 30% of the Portfolio’s net assets, the Index Allocated Portion consists of approximately 60% of the Portfolio’s net assets and the ETF Allocated Portion consists of approximately 10% of the Portfolio’s net assets. Actual allocations among the distinct portions of the Portfolio may deviate from the amounts shown above by up to 15% of the Portfolio’s net assets.   No corresponding strategy.
The Active Allocated Portion primarily invests in common stocks, but it also may invest in other equity securities that the Adviser believes provide opportunities for capital appreciation.   The Portfolio normally is invested primarily in common stocks or other equity securities.
The Active Allocated Portion may also invest up to 25% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers (which may include up to 15% of its total assets in emerging market countries at the time of purchase), which may be publicly traded in the United States or on a foreign exchange, and may be denominated in a foreign currency.   The Portfolio also may invest in foreign securities.
The Active Allocated Portion also may engage in active and frequent trading to achieve the Portfolio’s investment objective.   No corresponding strategy.

 

6


In choosing investments, the Adviser utilizes a “focus” style, which concentrates the Active Allocated Portion’s investments in a core position of 20-30 companies selected for their growth potential.   The Adviser seeks to invest primarily in securities that at the time of purchase exhibit one or more “growth” characteristics.
The Index Allocated Portion of the Portfolio seeks to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of the Russell 1000 Growth with minimal tracking error. Generally, the Index Allocated Portion uses a full replication technique, although in certain instances a sampling approach may be utilized for a portion of the Index Allocated Portion. The Index Allocated Portion also may invest in other instruments, such as futures and options contracts, that provide comparable exposure as the index without buying the underlying securities comprising the index.   No corresponding strategy.
AXA Equitable also may utilize futures and options to manage equity exposure. When market volatility is increasing above specific thresholds set for the Portfolio, the Manager may limit equity exposure either by reducing investments in securities, selling long futures and options positions on an index, increasing cash levels, and/or shorting an index. The Portfolio may invest up to 25% of its assets in derivatives, such as exchange-traded futures, and options contracts on indices or other similar investments.   No corresponding strategy; however, the Portfolio may invest, to a limited extent, in derivatives.
The ETF Allocated Portion invests in ETFs that meet the investment criteria of the Portfolio as a whole.   The Portfolio may invest, to a limited extent, in ETFs.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors

An investment in a Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You may lose money by investing in a Portfolio. The following table compares the principal risks of an investment in each Portfolio. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information about the Reorganizations – Description of Risk Factors” below.

AXA Equitable generally will bear expenses of the Reorganizations in excess of this amount, subject to certain limitations. For additional information, please refer to “Additional Information About the Reorganizations - Terms of the Reorganization Plan” below.

After careful consideration, the Board unanimously approved the Reorganization Plan with respect to the Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio. Accordingly, the Board has submitted the Reorganization Plan for approval by this Portfolio’s shareholders. The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” Proposal 1.

*        *        *         *        *

 

PROPOSAL 2:   APPROVAL OF THE REORGANIZATION PLAN WITH RESPECT TO THE REORGANIZATION OF THE LORD ABBETT GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO INTO THE LARGE CAP VALUE INDEX PORTFOLIO.

This Proposal 2 requests your approval of the Reorganization Plan, pursuant to which the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio will be reorganized into the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio.

In considering whether you should approve this Proposal, you should note that:

 

   

The Portfolios have similar investment objectives. Each Portfolio seeks a combination of capital appreciation and income. The Large Cap Value Index Portfolio, however, seeks to achieve a total return before expenses that approximates the total return performance of the Russell 1000 Value Index, including reinvestment of dividends, at a risk level consistent with that of the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio seeks capital appreciation and growth of income without excessive fluctuation in market value.

 

   

The Portfolios also have similar investment policies. Each Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of large capitalization companies that are considered to be undervalued. However, there are differences in their primary investment policies and strategies of which you should be aware.

The Large Cap Value Index Portfolio is an index portfolio, while the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio is an actively managed portfolio. The Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio is managed in a value style under which the Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of large companies that the Adviser believes are underpriced. In contrast, the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio is constructed and maintained

 

10


generally by utilizing a replication construction technique, which means that the Portfolio seeks to hold all of the securities in the Russell 1000 Value Index in the approximate weight each represents in the index. Accordingly, the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio will remain substantially fully invested in common stocks even when the common stock prices are falling and the adverse performance of a stock ordinarily will not result in its elimination from the Portfolio. The Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio is not similarly constrained.

In addition, the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio may invest, without limit, in American Depositary Receipts and similar depositary receipts and may invest up to 10% of its net assets in other foreign securities that are primarily traded outside of the United States; the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio generally does not invest in depositary receipts or foreign securities. For a detailed comparison of each Portfolio’s investment policies and strategies, see “Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Strategies” below.

 

   

The Portfolios also have comparable risk profiles, although there are differences in the principal risks. Each Portfolio’s principal risks include equity risk, large-cap company risk and investment style risk. The Large Cap Value Index Portfolio, however, also is subject to index strategy risk as a principal risk, which is not a principal risk of the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio. In addition, the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio is also subject to currency risk, depositary receipts risk, emerging markets risk and foreign securities risk as principal risks, which are not principal risks of the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio. For a detailed comparison of the each Portfolio’s risks, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

 

   

AXA Equitable (the “Manager”) serves as the investment manager and administrator for each Portfolio and would continue to manage and administer the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio after the Reorganization. AXA Equitable has received an exemptive order from the SEC that generally permits AXA Equitable and the Board to appoint, dismiss and replace each Portfolio’s Adviser(s) and to amend the advisory agreements between AXA Equitable and the Advisers without obtaining shareholder approval (except with respect to Affiliated Advisers (as defined herein)). AXA Equitable has appointed one Adviser, Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC, to manage the assets of the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio. AXA Equitable has appointed one Adviser, SSgA Funds Management, Inc., to manage the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio, and it is anticipated that this Adviser will continue to advise the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio after the Reorganization. For a detailed description of the Manager and the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio’s Adviser, please see “Additional Information about the Acquiring Portfolios - The Manager” and “- The Advisers” below.

 

   

The Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio and Large Cap Value Index Portfolio had net assets of approximately $194.3 million and $135.3 million, respectively, as of October 31, 2010. Thus, if the Reorganization had been in effect on that date, the combined Portfolio would have had net assets of approximately $329.6 million.

 

   

Class IA shareholders of the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio will receive Class IA shares of the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio, and Class IB shareholders of the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio will receive Class IB shares of the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio, pursuant to the Reorganization. Shareholders will not pay any sales charges in connection with the Reorganization. Please see “Comparative Fee and Expense Tables,” “Additional Information about the Reorganizations” and “Additional Information about the Acquiring Portfolios” below for more information.

 

   

It is estimated that the annual operating expense ratios for the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio’s Class IA and Class IB shares, immediately following the Reorganization, will be lower than those of the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio’s Class IA and Class IB shares, respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. For a more detailed comparison of the fees and expenses of the Portfolios, please see “Comparative Fee and Expense Tables” and “Additional Information about the Acquiring Portfolios” below.

 

11


 

   

The maximum management fee for the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio is equal to an annual rate of 0.65% of its average daily net assets, while the maximum management fee for the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio is equal to an annual rate of 0.35% of its average daily net assets. The Portfolios are subject to the same administration fee, which is equal to $30,000 per year plus the Portfolio’s proportionate share of the Trust’s administration fee for portfolios with a single Adviser, which is equal to an annual rate of 0.12% of the first $3 billion of the Trust’s average daily net assets (exclusive of certain portfolios), 0.11% of the next $3 billion, 0.105% of the next $4 billion, 0.10% of the next $20 billion and 0.0975% thereafter. For a more detailed description of the fees and expenses of the Portfolios, please see “Comparative Fee and Expense Tables” and “Additional Information about the Acquiring Portfolios” below.

 

   

Following the Reorganization, the combined Portfolio will be managed in accordance with the investment objective, policies and strategies of the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio. It is not expected that the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio will revise any of its investment policies following the Reorganization to reflect those of the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio. AXA Equitable has reviewed Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio’s current portfolio holdings and determined that, because both Portfolios invest in equity securities of large capitalization companies that are considered undervalued, a portion of the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio’s holdings are consistent with the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio’s current portfolio composition, investment objectives and policies and, thus, could be transferred to and held by the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio if the Reorganization is approved. However, it is expected that some of those holdings may not remain at the time of the Reorganization due to normal portfolio turnover. If the Reorganization is approved, the Manager will liquidate that portion of the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio’s holdings that, based on market conditions and an assessment by the Manager and the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio’s Adviser, is not compatible with the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio’s current portfolio composition, investment objective and policies, or investment strategies. The proceeds of such liquidation will be held in temporary investments or reinvested in assets that are consistent with the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio’s investment objective, policies and strategies. Although any sale of portfolio investments in connection with the Reorganization would be conducted in an orderly manner, the need for a Portfolio to sell such investments may result in its selling securities at a disadvantageous time and price and could result in the Portfolio realizing gains (or losses) that otherwise would not have been realized and incurring transaction costs that otherwise would not have been incurred.

 

   

The Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio will bear its proportionate share of the expenses of the Reorganizations described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, subject to an aggregate maximum of $100,000 for the Acquired Portfolios. AXA Equitable generally will bear expenses of the Reorganizations in excess of this amount, subject to certain limitations. Please see “Additional Information about the Reorganizations” below for more information.

Comparative Fee and Expense Tables

The following tables show the fees and expenses of each class of shares of each Portfolio and the estimated pro forma fees and expenses of each class of shares of the Acquiring Portfolio after giving effect to the proposed Reorganization. Fees and expenses for each Portfolio are based on those incurred by each class of its shares for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The pro forma fees and expenses of the Acquiring Portfolio Shares assume that the Reorganization has been in effect for the last year ended on June 30, 2010. The tables below do not reflect any Contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses. See a Contract prospectus for a description of those fees and expenses.

Example of Portfolio Expenses

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Portfolios with the cost of investing in other investment options. The example assumes that:

 

   

You invest $10,000 in a Portfolio for the time periods indicated;

 

   

Your investment has a 5% return each year;

 

   

The Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same; and

 

   

The expense limitation currently in effect is not renewed.

This example does not reflect any Contract-related fees and expenses, including redemption fees (if any) at the Contract level. If such fees and expenses were reflected, the total expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the portfolio turnover rate for the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio and Large Cap Value Index Portfolio was 75% and 100%, respectively, of the average value of the Portfolio.

Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Strategies

The following table compares the investment objectives and principal investment policies and strategies of the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio with those of the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio. The Board may change the investment objective of a Portfolio without a vote of the Portfolio’s shareholders. For more detailed information about each Portfolio’s investment strategies and risk, see Appendix B.

 

Acquiring Portfolio

  

Acquired Portfolio

Large Cap Value Index Portfolio    Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio
Investment Objective   
Seeks to achieve a total return before expenses that approximates the total return performance of the Russell 1000 Value Index, including reinvestment of dividends, at a risk level consistent with that of the Russell 1000 Value Index.    Seeks to achieve capital appreciation and growth of income without excessive fluctuation in market value.
Principal Investment Strategies   
The Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities in the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Portfolio’s investments in equity securities in the Russell 1000 Value Index may include financial instruments that derive their value from such securities. The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. As of December 31, 2009, the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 1000 Value Index ranged from $262.5 million to $322.7 billion.    The Portfolio primarily invests in the equity securities of large, seasoned, U.S. and multinational companies that the Adviser believes are undervalued. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of large companies. For this Portfolio, a large company is defined as a company having a market capitalization at the time of purchase that falls within the market capitalization range of companies in the Russell 1000 Index. As of December 31, 2009, the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Index was $262.5 million to $322.7 billion. This range varies daily. Equity securities in which the Portfolio may invest include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants, and similar instruments.
The Adviser does not anticipate utilizing customary economic, financial or market analyses or other traditional investment techniques to manage the Portfolio. The Portfolio is constructed and maintained by utilizing a replication construction technique. That is, the Portfolio seeks to hold all securities in the Russell 1000 Value Index in the approximate weight each represents in the Index, although in certain instances a sampling approach may be utilized.    In selecting investments, the Adviser attempts to invest in securities selling at reasonable prices in relation to its assessment of their potential value. The Adviser seeks to limit the Portfolio’s downside risk by investing in value stocks, which are stocks of companies that the Adviser believes are underpriced, and in large, seasoned companies, which tend to be less volatile than the stocks of smaller companies.
The Portfolio will remain substantially fully invested in common stocks even when common stock prices are generally falling. Similarly, adverse performance of a stock will ordinarily not result in its elimination from the Portfolio.    The Adviser generally will sell a stock when it thinks it seems less likely to benefit from the current market and economic environment, shows deteriorating fundamentals or has reached the Adviser’s valuation target.
No corresponding strategy.    The Portfolio may invest, without limit, in American Depositary Receipts and similar depositary receipts. The Portfolio limits its other investments in foreign securities that are primarily traded outside of the U.S. to 10% of its net assets.

For additional information, please refer to “Additional Information About the Reorganizations - Terms of the Reorganization Plan” below.

After careful consideration, the Board unanimously approved the Reorganization Plan with respect to the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio. Accordingly, the Board has submitted the Reorganization Plan for approval by this Portfolio’s shareholders. The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” Proposal 2.

*        *        *         *        *

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATIONS

Terms of the Reorganization Plan

The terms and conditions under which the Reorganizations would be completed are contained in the Reorganization Plan. The following summary thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reorganization Plan, a copy of which is attached to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Appendix A.

Each Reorganization involves an Acquiring Portfolio acquiring all the assets of the corresponding Acquired Portfolio in exchange solely for Acquiring Portfolio Shares equal in net asset value (as determined in accordance with the Trust’s normal valuation procedures), by class, to the outstanding Acquired Portfolio Shares and the Acquiring Portfolio’s assumption of the Acquired Portfolio’s liabilities. The Reorganization Plan further provides that, on or as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, each Acquired Portfolio will distribute the Acquiring Portfolio Shares it receives in the Reorganization to its shareholders, for the benefit of the Separate Accounts, as applicable, and thus the Contractholders, by class. The number of full and fractional Acquiring Portfolio Shares each shareholder will receive (for the benefit of each Separate Account, as applicable) will be equal in net asset value, as of immediately after the close of business (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on the Closing Date, to the corresponding Acquired Portfolio Shares the shareholder holds at that time (for the benefit thereof, as applicable). After such distribution, the Trust will take all necessary steps under its Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as amended (the “Declaration”), and Delaware and any other applicable law to effect a complete termination of each Acquired Portfolio.

The Board may terminate the Reorganization Plan with respect to, and abandon, either Reorganization or both Reorganizations at any time prior to the Closing Date, before or after approval by the relevant Acquired Portfolio’s shareholders, if circumstances develop that, in the Board’s opinion, make proceeding with a Reorganization inadvisable for a Portfolio. The completion of each Reorganization also is subject to various conditions, including

 

17


approval of the Reorganization Plan with respect to the applicable Reorganization by the Acquired Portfolio’s shareholders, completion of all filings with, and receipt of all necessary approvals from, the SEC, delivery of a legal opinion regarding the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization (see below) and other customary corporate and securities matters. Subject to the satisfaction of those conditions, each Reorganization will take place immediately after the close of business on the Closing Date.

The Board, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), has determined, with respect to each Portfolio, that the interests of the Portfolio’s existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization and that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Portfolio.

The following expenses of the Reorganizations (referred to in the Reorganization Plan as “Identified Expenses”), up to an aggregate maximum of $100,000, will be borne by the Acquired Portfolios in proportion to their respective net asset values (each, an “NAV”) immediately after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), and the declaration of any dividends and/or other distributions, on the Closing Date, with any Identified Expenses in excess of such amount borne solely by AXA Equitable: (1) costs associated with preparing, printing and distributing proxy materials, (2) legal and accounting fees in connection with the Reorganizations, and (3) expenses of holding the Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) AXA Equitable will not bear any brokerage or similar expenses incurred by or for the benefit of any Portfolio in connection with the Reorganizations, and (b) all expenses other than Identified Expenses will be borne by the Portfolio that directly incurs them.

Approval of the Reorganization Plan with respect to each Acquired Portfolio covered thereby will require a majority vote of its shareholders. Such majority is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Portfolio present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities. If the Reorganization Plan is not approved with respect to an Acquired Portfolio by its shareholders or its Reorganization is not consummated for any other reason, the Board will consider other possible courses of action. The consummation of one Reorganization is not contingent on the consummation of the other Reorganization. Please see “Voting Information” below for more information.

Description of the Securities to Be Issued

The shareholders of each Acquired Portfolio will receive Class IA or Class IB shares of the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio in accordance with the procedures provided for in the Reorganization Plan. Each such share will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Trust when issued and will have no preemptive or conversion rights.

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share. The Declaration authorizes the Board to issue shares in different series and classes. In addition, the Declaration authorizes the Board to create new series and to name the rights and preferences of the shareholders of each series. The Board does not need additional shareholder action to divide the shares into separate series or classes or to name the shareholders’ rights and preferences. Each Acquired and Acquiring Portfolio is a series of the Trust.

The Trust currently offers two classes of shares – Class IA and Class IB shares. The Trust has adopted, in the manner prescribed under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, a plan of distribution pertaining to the Class IB shares of the Acquiring Portfolios. The maximum distribution and/or service (12b-1) fee for each Acquiring Portfolio’s Class IB shares is equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to those shares. Because these distribution/service fees are paid out of an Acquiring Portfolio’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase your cost of investing and may cost more than paying other types of charges.

Board Considerations

At a meeting of the Board held on December 7-8, 2010, AXA Equitable’s representatives (“management”) recommended that each Acquired Portfolio be reorganized into the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio. Management noted that it believed that the Reorganizations would be beneficial to the shareholders invested in the Acquired Portfolios because each Reorganization would provide a means by which Contractholders with amounts allocated to an Acquired Portfolio could pursue similar or identical investment objectives in the context of a larger fund with the

 

18


potential for less volatility and better growth prospects, greater opportunities for portfolio diversification and the potential for lower expenses through greater economies of scale. In addition, Management noted that the portfolio manager for one of the Acquired Portfolios, the Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio, had left the Adviser and that AXA Equitable did not believe that the Adviser had a suitable replacement. Management also noted that AXA Equitable may cease offering the Acquired Portfolios as investment options under its Contracts because the Acquired Portfolios have either underperformed expectations and/or failed to attract sufficient Contract owner interest. Management further noted that if it ceased offering the Acquired Portfolios, the Acquired Portfolios’ future growth prospects and their corresponding ability to achieve economies of scale and greater portfolio diversification could be limited.

In determining whether to approve the Reorganization Plan with respect to the Acquired Portfolios and recommend its approval to shareholders, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, with the advice and assistance of independent legal counsel, inquired into a number of matters and considered the following factors, among others: (1) the potential benefits of the Reorganizations to shareholders, including the greater potential to increase the assets of the Acquired Portfolios and to realize economies of scale in the Acquired Portfolios’ expenses and portfolio management as a result of asset growth; (2) comparisons of the Portfolios’ investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks; (3) the effect of a Reorganization on an Acquired Portfolio’s annual operating expenses and shareholder costs; (4) the relative historical performance records of the Portfolios; (5) the direct or indirect federal income tax consequences of the Reorganizations to shareholders and Contractholders; (6) the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Plan and whether the Reorganizations would result in dilution of shareholder interests; (7) the potential benefits of the Reorganizations to other persons, including AXA Equitable and its affiliates as discussed below in the section entitled “Potential Benefits of the Reorganizations to AXA Equitable;” and (8) possible alternatives to the Reorganizations, including the potential benefits and detriments of maintaining the current structure.

In connection with the Board’s consideration of the proposed Reorganizations, the Independent Trustees requested, and management provided the Board, information regarding the factors set forth above as well as other information relating to the Reorganizations.

In reaching the decision to recommend approval of the Reorganizations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that each Portfolio’s participation in the relevant Reorganization is in its best interests and that the interests of existing shareholders of that Portfolio would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Board’s conclusion was based on a number of factors, including the following:

 

   

The Reorganizations will permit shareholders invested in each Acquired Portfolio to continue to allocate amounts to a Portfolio that pursues a similar or identical investment objective and similar investment policies, and that is part of a larger combined portfolio with the potential for less volatility and better growth prospects, greater opportunities for portfolio diversification and the potential for lower expenses through greater economies of scale.

 

   

The annual operating expense ratios for the Class IA and Class IB shares of each Acquiring Portfolio are expected to be the same as, or lower than, those of the corresponding classes of shares of the corresponding Acquired Portfolio for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

 

   

AXA Equitable will continue to serve as the investment manager and administrator of the Acquiring Portfolios following the Reorganizations, and the current Advisers to the Acquiring Portfolios will continue to serve as the Advisers to those Portfolios.

 

   

As a result of the Reorganizations, each shareholder of Class IA or Class IB shares of an Acquired Portfolio would hold, immediately after the Closing Date, Class IA or Class IB shares of the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio, as applicable, having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of the relevant Acquired Portfolio Shares such shareholder holds as of the Closing Date.

 

19


 

   

The Reorganizations will be effected on the basis of each participating Portfolio’s net asset value, which will be determined in connection with each Reorganization in accordance with the Trust’s normal valuation procedures, which are identical for all of the Trust’s Portfolios.

 

   

Shareholders will not pay sales charges in connection with the Reorganizations.

 

   

The Reorganizations are not expected to have any adverse tax results to Contractholders.

On the basis of the information provided to it and its evaluation of that information, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, voted unanimously to approve the Reorganization Plan and to recommend that the shareholders of each Acquired Portfolio also approve the relevant Reorganization Plan.

Potential Benefits of the Reorganizations to AXA Equitable

AXA Equitable may realize benefits in connection with the Reorganizations. For example, the profitability from the fees payable to AXA Equitable and its affiliates in connection with the Acquiring Portfolios may be higher than the profits derived from the fees paid by the corresponding Acquired Portfolios. In addition, the Reorganizations will reduce or eliminate AXA Equitable’s obligations under expense limitation arrangements currently in effect by reorganizing Acquired Portfolios that are subject to expense limitation arrangements into Acquiring Portfolios that are subject to either higher expense limits or no expense limits. The elimination or reduction of certain expense limits may result in increased profits to AXA Equitable from the fees it receives with respect to the Portfolios. A Reorganization also may enable AXA Equitable to recoup certain fees and expenses previously waived or reimbursed, subject to the terms of the expense limitation arrangements in effect for the applicable Portfolio.

In addition, the Portfolios are offered and sold through Contracts issued by AXA Equitable and its affiliates that may provide certain death benefit, income benefit or other guarantees to Contract owners. In providing these guarantees, AXA Equitable assumes the risk that Contract owner account values will not be sufficient to pay the guaranteed amounts when due, and therefore that AXA Equitable will have to use its own resources to cover any shortfall. AXA Equitable may enter into hedging transactions from time to time that are intended to help manage its risks under these guarantees. The Reorganizations described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus may enhance AXA Equitable’s ability to manage this risk, for example, by eliminating a Portfolio that has underperformed expectations and reducing or eliminating exposure to certain potentially volatile asset classes that may be difficult to hedge. This could have a positive impact on AXA Equitable’s profitability and/or financial position.

Description of Risk Factors

A Portfolio’s Performance may be affected by one or more of the following risks, which are described in detail in Appendix B “More Information on Risk Factors.”

Derivatives Risk. A Portfolio’s investments in derivatives may rise or fall more rapidly than other investments. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and a Portfolio could lose more than the principal amount invested. Derivatives also may be subject to a number of risks such as leverage risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation.

Equity Risk. In general, stocks and other equity security values fluctuate, and sometimes widely fluctuate, in response to changes in a company’s financial condition as well as general market, economic and political conditions.

Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) Risk. When a Portfolio invests in ETFs, it will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the ETF, in addition to the advisory and other fees paid directly by the Portfolio. A Portfolio’s investment in an ETF involves other considerations. For example, shares of ETFs are listed and traded on securities exchanges and in over-the-counter markets, and the purchase and sale of these shares involve transaction fees and commissions. Also, even though the market price of an ETF is derived from the securities it owns, such price at any given time may be at, below or above the ETF’s net asset value. In addition, many ETFs invest in securities

 

20


included in, or representative of, underlying indexes regardless of investment merit or market trends and, therefore, these ETFs do not change their investment strategies to respond to changes in the economy, which means that an ETF may be particularly susceptible to a general decline in the market segment relating to the relevant index. There is also the risk that an ETF’s performance may not match that of the relevant index. In addition, it is also possible that an active trading market for an ETF may not develop or be maintained, in which case the liquidity and value of a Portfolio’s investment in the ETF could be substantially and adversely affected.

Focused Portfolio Risk. A Portfolio that employs a strategy of investing in the securities of a limited number of companies may incur more risk because changes in the value of a single security may have a more significant effect, either positive or negative, on the Portfolio’s net asset value.

Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign securities, including depositary receipts, involve risks not associated with investing in U.S. securities. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, may be less liquid, more volatile and subject to less government supervision than domestic markets. Security values also may be negatively affected by changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Differences between U.S. and foreign legal, political and economic systems, regulatory regimes and market practices also may impact security values and it may take more time to clear and settle trades involving foreign securities.

Currency Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and in securities that trade in, or receive revenues in, foreign currencies are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Any such decline may erode or reverse any potential gains from an investment in securities denominated in foreign currency or may widen existing loss. Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention by governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad.

Depositary Receipts Risk. Investments in depositary receipts (including American Depositary Receipts, European Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts) are generally subject to the same risks of investing in the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted. In addition, issuers underlying unsponsored depositary receipts may not provide as much information as U.S. issuers and issuers underlying sponsored depositary receipts. Unsponsored depositary receipts also may not carry the same voting privileges as sponsored depositary receipts.

Emerging Markets Risk. There are greater risks involved in investing in emerging market countries and/or their securities markets. Investments in these countries and/or markets may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political, technical and other risks different from, or greater than, the risks of investing in developed countries. In addition, the risks associated with investing in a narrowly defined geographic area are generally more pronounced with respect to investments in emerging market countries.

Index Strategy Risk. A Portfolio that employs an index strategy generally invests in the securities included in the relevant index or a representative sample of such securities regardless of market trends. Such a portfolio generally will not modify its index strategy to respond to changes in the economy, which means that it may be particularly susceptible to a general decline in the market segment relating to the relevant index. In addition, although the index strategy attempts to closely track its benchmark index, the Portfolio may not invest in all of the securities in the index. Also, the Portfolio’s fees and expenses will reduce the Portfolio’s returns, unlike those of the benchmark index. Cash flow into and out of the Portfolio, portfolio transaction costs, changes in the securities that comprise the index, and the Portfolio’s valuation procedures also may affect the Portfolio’s performance. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the performance of the index strategy will match that of the benchmark index.

Investment Style Risk. The Adviser may use a particular style or set of styles – such as “growth” and “value” styles – to select investments. Those styles may be out of favor or may not produce the best results over short or longer time periods.

Growth Style. Growth stocks may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks. Growth investing also is subject to the risk that the stock price of one or more companies will fall or will fail to appreciate as anticipated, regardless of movements in the securities

 

21


market. Growth stocks also tend to be more volatile than value stocks, so in a declining market, their prices may decrease more than value stocks in general. They also may increase the volatility of the Portfolio’s share price.

Value Style. Value stocks are subject to the risks that notwithstanding that a stock is selling at a discount to a its perceived true worth, the market will never fully recognize their intrinsic value. In addition, there is the risk that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced. They may also increase the volatility of the Portfolio’s share price.

Large-Cap Company Risk. Larger more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Many larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Leveraging Risk. When a Portfolio leverages its holdings, the value of an investment in that Portfolio will be more volatile and all other risks will tend to be compounded. For example, a Portfolio may take on leveraging risk when it engages in derivatives transactions, invests in collateral from securities loans or borrows money.

Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Company Risk. A Portfolio’s investments in mid- and small-cap companies may involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established issuers because they generally are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments. Such companies generally have narrower product lines, more limited financial resources and more limited markets for their stock as compared with larger companies. As a result, the value of such securities may be more volatile than the securities of larger companies, and the Portfolio may experience difficulty in purchasing or selling such securities at the desired time and price. In general, these risks are greater for small-capitalization companies than for mid-capitalization companies.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. High portfolio turnover (generally, turnover, in excess of 100% in any given fiscal year) may result in increased transaction costs to a Portfolio, which may result in higher fund expenses and lower total return.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganizations

Each Reorganization is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

As a condition to consummation of each Reorganization, the Trust will receive an opinion from K&L Gates LLP (“Counsel”), with respect to the Reorganization and the Portfolios participating therein and their shareholders, substantially to the effect that, based on the facts and assumptions stated therein as well as certain representations of the Trust and conditioned on the Reorganization’s being completed in accordance with the Reorganization Plan (without the waiver or modification of any terms or conditions thereof and without taking into account any amendment thereof that Counsel has not approved), for federal income tax purposes: (1) the Reorganization will qualify as a “reorganization” (as defined in Section 368(a)(1) of the Code), and each Portfolio will be a “party to a reorganization” (within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code); (2) neither Portfolio will recognize any gain or loss on the Reorganization; (3) an Acquired Portfolio shareholder will not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of its Acquired Portfolio Shares for Acquiring Portfolio Shares; (4) the holding period for and tax basis in the Acquiring Portfolio Shares that an Acquired Portfolio shareholder receives pursuant to the Reorganization will include the holding period for, and will be the same as the aggregate tax basis in, the Acquired Portfolio Shares that the shareholder holds immediately before the Reorganization (provided, with respect to inclusion of the holding period, the shareholder holds the shares as capital assets on the Closing Date); and (5) the Acquiring Portfolio’s tax basis in each asset the Acquired Portfolio transfers to it will be the same as the Acquired Portfolio’s tax basis therein immediately before the Reorganization, and the Acquiring Portfolio’s holding period for each such asset will include the Acquired Portfolio’s holding period therefor (except where the Acquiring Portfolio’s investment activities have the effect of reducing or eliminating an asset’s holding period). Notwithstanding clauses (2) and (5), such opinion may state that no opinion is expressed as to the effect of a Reorganization on the Portfolios or the Acquired Portfolio shareholders with respect to any transferred asset as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting.

 

22


Contractholders who had premiums or contributions allocated to the investment divisions of the Separate Accounts that are invested in Acquired Portfolio Shares generally will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reorganizations. If an Acquired Portfolio sells securities before its Reorganization, it may recognize net gains or losses. Any net gains recognized on those sales would increase the amount of any distribution that such an Acquired Portfolio must make to its shareholders before consummating its Reorganization.

As a result of the Reorganizations, each Acquiring Portfolio will succeed to certain tax attributes of the corresponding Acquired Portfolio, except that the amount of an Acquired Portfolio’s accumulated capital loss carryovers (plus any net capital loss that Acquired Portfolio sustains during its taxable year ending on the Closing Date and any net unrealized built-in loss it has on that date) that the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio may use to offset capital gains it recognizes after its Reorganization, generally in no more than the eight succeeding taxable years, will be subject to an annual limitation under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. In general, the limitation applicable to an Acquiring Portfolio for each taxable year will equal the sum of (1) the product of the NAV of the corresponding Acquired Portfolio as of the Closing Date (the “Acquired Portfolio’s NAV”) multiplied by the “long-term tax-exempt rate” (which is a market-based rate published by the Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) each month, currently 3.67%) for the month in which the Closing Date occurs plus (2) the amount of any net unrealized built-in gain of that Acquired Portfolio as of the Closing Date that that Acquiring Portfolio recognizes in any taxable year all or part of which is in the period through the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (as long as the amount of that net unrealized built-in gain is greater than the lesser of (i) 15% of that Acquired Portfolio’s NAV or (ii) $10,000,000). The annual limitation will be proportionately reduced for the portion of an Acquiring Portfolio’s current taxable year after the Closing Date and for any subsequent short taxable year.

If a Reorganization fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 368(a)(1), a Separate Account that is invested in shares of the Acquired Portfolio involved therein could realize a gain or loss on the transaction equal to the difference between its tax basis in those shares and the fair market value of the Acquiring Portfolio Shares it receives.

The Trust has not sought a tax ruling from the Service but instead is acting in reliance on the opinion of Counsel discussed above. That opinion is not binding on the Service or the courts and does not preclude the Service from adopting a contrary position. Contractholders are urged to consult their tax advisers as to the specific consequences to them of the Reorganizations, including the applicability and effect of state, local, foreign and other taxes.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ACQUIRING PORTFOLIOS

Management of the Trust

This section gives you information about the Trust, the Manager and the Advisers for the Acquiring Portfolios.

The Trust

The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered with the SEC as an open-end management investment company. The Trust’s Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall management of the Trust and each of its series (the “portfolios”), including the Acquiring Portfolios. The Trust issues shares of beneficial interest that are currently divided among sixty-eight (68) portfolios, each of which has authorized Class IA and Class IB shares. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes the Class IA and Class IB shares of the Acquiring Portfolios.

The Manager

New York, New York 10104, is the Manager to each Portfolio. AXA Equitable is a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc., a subsidiary of AXA, a French insurance holding company.

The Manager has a variety of responsibilities for the general management and administration of the Trust and the portfolios. With respect to the PLUS Portfolios, the Manager is responsible for, among other things, determining the asset allocation range for the portfolios, selecting and monitoring the Advisers for the portfolios, advising the ETF

 

23


Allocated Portions of the portfolios (including selecting ETFs in which the portfolios invest) and ensuring that asset allocations are consistent with the guidelines that have been approved by the Board. With respect to the Trust’s other portfolios, the Manager’s management responsibilities include the selection and monitoring of Advisers for the portfolios.

The Manager plays an active role in monitoring each portfolio (or portion thereof) and Adviser and uses portfolio analytics systems to strengthen its evaluation of performance, style, risk levels, diversification and other criteria. The Manager also monitors each Adviser’s portfolio management team to determine whether its investment activities remain consistent with the portfolios’ or portion thereof’s investment style and objectives.

Beyond performance analysis, the Manager monitors significant changes that may impact the Adviser’s overall business. The Manager monitors continuity in the Adviser’s operations and changes in investment personnel and senior management. The Manager performs due diligence reviews with each Adviser no less frequently than annually.

The Manager obtains detailed, comprehensive information concerning portfolio (or portion thereof) and Adviser performance and portfolio (or portion thereof) operations that is used to supervise and monitor the Advisers and the portfolio (or portion thereof) operations. A team is responsible for conducting ongoing investment reviews with each Adviser and for developing the criteria by which portfolio (or portion thereof) performance is measured.

The Manager selects Advisers from a pool of candidates, including its affiliates, to manage the portfolios (or portions thereof). The Manager may appoint, dismiss and replace Advisers and amend advisory agreements subject to the approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Manager also may allocate a portfolio’s assets to additional Advisers subject to the approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees and has discretion to allocate each portfolio’s assets among a portfolio’s current Advisers. The Manager recommends Advisers for each portfolio to the Trust’s Board of Trustees based upon its continuing quantitative and qualitative evaluation of each Adviser’s skills in managing assets pursuant to specific investment styles and strategies. Short-term investment performance, by itself, is not a significant factor in selecting or terminating an Adviser, and the Manager does not expect to recommend frequent changes of Advisers.

If the Manager appoints, dismisses or replaces an Adviser to a portfolio or adjusts the asset allocation among Advisers in a portfolio the affected portfolio may experience a period of transition during which the securities held in the portfolio may be repositioned in connection with the change in Adviser(s). A portfolio may not pursue its principal investment strategies during such a transition period and may incur increased brokerage commissions and other transaction costs in connection with the change(s). Generally, transitions may be implemented before or after the effective date of the new Adviser’s appointment as an adviser to the portfolio, and may be completed in several days to several weeks, depending on the particular circumstances of the transition. In addition, the past performance of a portfolio is not necessarily an indication of future performance. This may be particularly true for any portfolios that have undergone sub-adviser changes and/or changes to the investment objectives or policies of the portfolio.

The Manager has received an exemptive order from the SEC to permit it and the Trust’s Board of Trustees to appoint, dismiss and replace Advisers and to amend the advisory agreements between the Manager and the Advisers without obtaining shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Manager is able, subject to the approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, to appoint, dismiss and replace Advisers and to amend advisory agreements without obtaining shareholder approval. If a new Adviser is retained for a portfolio, shareholders will receive notice of such action. However, the Manager may not enter into an advisory agreement with an “affiliated person” of the Manager (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Affiliated Adviser”), such as AllianceBernstein L.P., unless the advisory agreement with the Affiliated Adviser, including compensation, is also approved by the affected portfolio’s shareholders.

Management Fees

Each Acquiring Portfolio pays a fee to AXA Equitable for management services. The table below shows the annual rate of the management fees (as a percentage of each Acquiring Portfolio’s average daily net assets) that the Manager received in 2009 for managing each of the Acquiring Portfolios included in the table and the rate of the management fees waived by the Manager in 2009 in accordance with the provisions of the Expense Limitation Agreement, as defined below, between the Manager and the Trust with respect to certain of the Trust’s Portfolios, including the Growth PLUS Portfolio.

The Advisers to the Acquiring Portfolios are paid by AXA Equitable. Changes to the advisory fees may be negotiated, which could result in an increase or decrease in the amount of the management fee retained by AXA Equitable, without shareholder approval. A discussion of the basis for the decision by the Board to approve the investment management agreements with AXA Equitable and the investment advisory agreement with an Adviser with respect to each Acquiring Portfolio is available in the Trust’s Annual or Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31 or semi-annual period ended June 30.

AXA Equitable also currently serves as the Administrator of the Trust. The administrative services provided to the Trust by AXA Equitable include, among others, coordination of the Trust’s audit, financial statements and tax returns; expense management and budgeting; legal administrative services and compliance monitoring; portfolio accounting services, including daily net asset value accounting; operational risk management; and oversight of the Trust’s proxy voting policies and procedures and anti-money laundering program. For administrative services, in addition to the management fee, the Large Cap Value Index Portfolio pays AXA Equitable an annual fee of $30,000 plus its proportionate share of an asset-based administration fee for the Trust. The Trust’s asset-based administration fee is equal to an annual rate of 0.12% of the first $3 billion of total Trust average daily net assets (exclusive of certain Portfolios noted below), 0.11% of the next $3 billion, 0.105% of the next $4 billion, 0.10% of the next $20 billion and 0.0975% thereafter. The excluded Portfolios are: EQ/ Franklin Core Balanced Portfolio, the EQ/AXA Franklin Small Cap Value Core Portfolio, the EQ/Mutual Large Cap Equity Portfolio, the EQ/Templeton Global Equity Portfolio, the EQ/Global Multi-Sector Equity Portfolio (together, the “PACTIVE Portfolios”), All Asset Allocation Portfolio, EQ/Franklin Templeton Allocation Portfolio, the Strategic Allocation Series Portfolios, the AXA Tactical Manager Portfolios, and the PLUS Portfolios. The PACTIVE Portfolios and the PLUS Portfolios, including the Growth PLUS Portfolio, each pay AXA Equitable an annual fee of $32,500 plus its proportionate share of an asset-based administration fee for these Portfolios, which is equal to an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $20 billion of the Portfolios’ aggregate average daily net assets, 0.125% of the next $5 billion of the Portfolios’ aggregate average daily net assets, and 0.10% of the Portfolios’ aggregate average daily net assets thereafter, and an additional $32,500 for each portion of the Portfolio for which separate administrative services are provided (e.g., portions of a Portfolio allocated to separate Advisers and/or managed in a discrete style). Pursuant to a sub-administration arrangement, the Manager has contracted with JPMorgan Investors Services Co. (“JPMorgan Services”) to provide the Trust with certain administrative services, including monitoring of portfolio compliance and portfolio accounting services.

Expense Limitation Agreement

In the interest of limiting through April 30, 2012 (unless the Board of Trustees consents to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) the expenses of the Growth PLUS Portfolio, the Manager has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Trust with respect to the Portfolio (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”). Pursuant to that Expense Limitation Agreement, the Manager has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative and other fees to limit the expenses of the Growth PLUS Portfolio so that the annual operating expenses of the Portfolio (other than interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, fees and expenses of other investment companies in which the Portfolio invests, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of each Portfolio’s business) do not exceed 0.75% for the Class IA shares and 1.00% for the Class IB shares.

 

25


AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments or waivers in the future, provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Growth PLUS Portfolio’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed its expense cap. If the actual expense ratio is less than the expense cap and AXA Equitable has recouped any eligible previous payments made, the Growth PLUS Portfolio will be charged such lower expenses.

The Advisers

Each Acquiring Portfolio’s investments are selected by one or more Advisers. The following table describes each Acquiring Portfolio’s Adviser(s), portfolio managers and each portfolio manager’s business experience. Information about the portfolio managers’ compensation, other accounts they manage and their ownership of securities of the Acquiring Portfolios is available in the Trust’s Statement of Additional Information dated May 1, 2010.

Portfolio Services

Fund Distribution Arrangements

The Trust offers two classes of shares on behalf of each Acquiring Portfolio: Class IA shares and Class IB shares. AXA Advisors, LLC (“AXA Advisors”) and AXA Distributors, LLC (“AXA Distributors”) serve as the co-distributors for the Class IA and Class IB shares of the Trust. Both classes of shares are offered and redeemed at their net asset value without any sales load. AXA Advisors and AXA Distributors are affiliates of AXA Equitable. Both AXA Advisors and AXA Distributors are registered as broker-dealers under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Trust’s Class IB shares. Under the Class IB Distribution Plan, the Class IB shares of the Trust are charged an annual fee to compensate each of the co-distributors for promoting, selling and servicing shares of the Acquiring Portfolios. The maximum annual distribution and/or service (12b-1) fee for each Acquiring Portfolio’s Class IB shares is 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class IB shares. Because these fees are paid out of an Acquiring Portfolio’s assets on an on going basis, over time, the fees will increase your cost of investing and may cost you more than other types of charges.

The co-distributors may receive payments from certain Advisers of the Acquiring Portfolios or their affiliates to help defray expenses for sales meetings or seminar sponsorships that may relate to the Contracts and/or the Advisers’ respective Acquiring Portfolios. These sales meetings or seminar sponsorships may provide the Advisers with increased access to persons involved in the distribution of the Contracts. The co-distributors also may receive marketing support from the Advisers in connection with the distribution of the Contracts.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

The Portfolios are not sold directly to the general public but instead is offered as an underlying investment option for Contracts, retirement plans and other eligible investments. Each Portfolio and its related companies may make payments to a sponsoring insurance company (or its affiliates) or other financial intermediary for distribution and/or other services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the insurance company or other financial intermediary and your financial adviser to recommend the Portfolio over another investment or by influencing an insurance company to include the Portfolio as an underlying investment option in the Contract. The prospectus (or other offering document) for your Contract may contain additional information about these payments.

Buying and Selling Shares

Each Portfolio’s shares are currently sold only to insurance company separate accounts in connection with Contracts issued by AXA Equitable, AXA Life and Annuity Company, other affiliated or unaffiliated insurance companies and to The AXA Equitable 401(k) Plan. Shares also may be sold to other tax-qualified retirement plans, to other portfolios managed by AXA Equitable that currently sell their shares to such accounts and plans and to other eligible investors. The Portfolio does not have minimum initial or subsequent investment requirements. Shares of the Portfolio are redeemable on any business day upon receipt of a request. All redemption requests will be processed and payment with respect thereto will normally be made within seven days after tender. Please refer to your Contract prospectus for more information on purchasing and redeeming Portfolio shares.

 

28


All shares are purchased and sold at their net asset value without any sales load. All redemption requests will be processed and payment with respect thereto will normally be made within seven days after tender. The Acquiring Portfolios reserve the right to suspend or change the terms of purchasing or selling shares.

The Trust may suspend the right of redemption for any period or postpone payment for more than seven days when the NYSE is closed (other than a weekend or holiday) or when trading is restricted by the SEC or the SEC declares that an emergency exists. Redemptions may also be suspended and payments may be postponed for more than seven days during other periods permitted by the SEC. An Acquiring Portfolio may pay the redemption price in whole or part by a distribution in kind of readily marketable securities in lieu of cash or may take up to seven days to pay a redemption request in order to raise capital, when it is detrimental for an Acquiring Portfolio to make cash payments as determined in the sole discretion of AXA Equitable.

Frequent transfers or purchases and redemptions of Acquiring Portfolio Shares, including market timing and other program trading or short-term trading strategies, may be disruptive to the Acquiring Portfolios. Excessive purchases and redemptions of shares of an Acquiring Portfolio may adversely affect the Acquiring Portfolio’s performance and the interests of long-term investors by requiring the Acquiring Portfolio to maintain larger amounts of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price. For example, when market timing occurs, an Acquiring Portfolio may have to sell its holdings to have the cash necessary to redeem the market timer’s shares. This can happen when it is not advantageous to sell any securities, so the Acquiring Portfolio’s performance may be hurt. When large dollar amounts are involved, market timing can also make it difficult to use long-term investment strategies because an Acquiring Portfolio cannot predict how much cash it will have to invest. In addition, disruptive transfers or purchases and redemptions of Acquiring Portfolio shares may impede efficient portfolio management and impose increased transaction costs, such as brokerage costs, by requiring the portfolio manager to affect more frequent purchases and sales of portfolio securities. Similarly, an Acquiring Portfolio may bear increased administrative costs as a result of the asset level and investment volatility that accompanies patterns of excessive or short-term trading. Acquiring Portfolios (or underlying ETFs in which an Acquiring Portfolio invests) that invest a significant portion of their assets in foreign securities, in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies, or in high-yield securities tend to be subject to the risks associated with market timing and short-term trading strategies to a greater extent than funds that do not. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio securities values occur after the close of the overseas market but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies and high-yield securities also present arbitrage opportunities because the market for such securities may be less liquid than the market for the securities of larger companies and higher quality bonds which could result in pricing inefficiencies.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures regarding disruptive transfer activity. The Trust and the Acquiring Portfolios discourage frequent purchases and redemptions of portfolio shares by Contractholders and will not make special arrangements to accommodate such transactions in Acquiring Portfolio Shares. As a general matter, each Acquiring Portfolio and the Trust reserve the right to reject a transfer that they believe, in their sole discretion is disruptive (or potentially disruptive) to the management of the Acquiring Portfolio.

The Trust’s policies and procedures seek to discourage what it considers to be disruptive trading activity. The Trust seeks to apply its policies and procedures to all Contractholders uniformly, including omnibus accounts. It should be recognized, however, that such policies and procedures are subject to limitations:

 

   

They do not eliminate the possibility that disruptive transfer activity, including market timing, will occur or that portfolio performance will be affected by such activity.

 

   

The design of such policies and procedures involves inherently subjective judgments, which AXA Equitable, on behalf of the Trust, seeks to make in a fair and reasonable manner consistent with the interests of all Contractholders.

 

   

The limits on AXA Equitable’s ability to monitor certain potentially disruptive transfer activity means that some Contractholders may be treated differently than others, resulting in the risk that some Contractholders may be able to engage in frequent transfer activity while others will bear the effect of that frequent transfer activity.

If AXA Equitable, on behalf of the Trust, determines that a Contractholder’s transfer patterns among the Trust’s portfolios are disruptive to the Trust’s portfolios, it may, among other things, restrict the availability of personal

 

29


telephone requests, facsimile transmissions, automated telephone services, internet services or any electronic transfer services. AXA Equitable may also refuse to act on transfer instructions of an agent acting under a power of attorney who is acting on behalf of more than one owner. In making these determinations, AXA Equitable may consider the combined transfer activity of Contracts that it believes are under common ownership, control or direction.

The Trust currently considers transfers into and out of (or vice versa) the same portfolio within a five-business day period as potentially disruptive transfer activity. In order to reduce disruptive activity, it monitors the frequency of transfers, including the size of transfers in relation to portfolio assets, in each portfolio. The Trust aggregates inflows and outflows for each portfolio on a daily basis. When a potentially disruptive transfer into or out of a portfolio occurs on a day when the portfolio’s net inflows and outflows exceed an established monitoring threshold, AXA Equitable sends a letter to the Contractholder explaining that there is a policy against disruptive transfer activity and that if such activity continues, AXA Equitable may take action to restrict the availability of voice, fax and automated transaction services. If such Contractholder is identified a second time as engaging in potentially disruptive transfer activity, AXA Equitable currently restricts the availability of voice, fax and automated transaction services. AXA Equitable currently applies such action for the remaining life of each affected Contract. Because AXA Equitable exercises discretion in determining whether or not to take the actions discussed above, some Contractholders may be treated differently than others, resulting in the risk that some Contractholders may be able to engage in frequent transfer activity while others will bear the effect of the frequent transfer activity. Although AXA Equitable currently provides a letter to Contractholders who have engaged in disruptive transfer activity of its intention to restrict access to communication services, AXA Equitable may not continue to provide such letters. Consistent with seeking to discourage potentially disruptive transfer activity, AXA Equitable or the Trust may also, in its sole discretion and without further notice, change what it considers potentially disruptive transfer activity and its monitoring procedures and thresholds, as well as change its procedures to restrict this activity You should consult the Contract prospectus that accompanies this Prospectus for information on other specific limitations on the transfer privilege.

The above policies and procedures with respect to frequent transfers or purchases and redemptions of portfolio shares also apply to retirement plan participants, but do not apply to AXA Equitable’s funds of funds.

Notwithstanding our efforts, we may be unable to detect or deter market timing activity by certain persons, which can lead to disruption of management of, and excess costs to, a particular Acquiring Portfolio.

How Portfolio Shares Are Priced

“Net asset value” is the price of one share of a portfolio of the Trust, including an Acquiring Portfolio, without a sales charge, and is calculated each business day using the following formula:

 

 

Net Asset Value =

   Total market value of securities + Cash and other assets - Liabilities
  

Number of outstanding shares

The net asset value of portfolio shares is determined according to this schedule:

 

   

A share’s net asset value is determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the days it is open for trading. This is normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.

 

   

The price for purchasing or redeeming a share will be based upon the net asset value next calculated after an order is received and accepted by a portfolio or its designated agent.

 

   

A portfolio heavily invested in foreign securities may have net asset value changes on days when shares cannot be purchase or sold because foreign securities sometimes trade on days when a portfolio’s shares are not priced.

 

30


Generally, portfolio securities are valued as follows:

 

   

Equity securities (including securities issued by ETFs) – most recent sales price or official closing price or if there is no sale or official closing price, latest available bid price.

 

   

Debt securities – based upon pricing service valuations.

 

   

Securities traded on foreign exchanges – most recent sales or bid price on the foreign exchange or market, unless a significant event or circumstance occurs after the close of that market or exchange that will materially affect its value. In that case, fair value as determined by or under the direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollar equivalent daily at current exchange rates.

 

   

Options – last sales price or, if not available, previous day’s sales price. If the bid price is higher or the asked price is lower than the last sale price, the higher bid or lower asked price may be used. Options not traded on an exchange or actively traded are valued according to fair value methods.

 

   

Futures – last sales price or, if there is no sale, latest available bid price.

 

   

Investment Company Securities – shares of open-end mutual funds (other than ETFs) held by a portfolio will be valued at the net asset value of the shares of such funds as described in these funds’ prospectuses.

 

   

Other Securities – other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which valuation cannot be provided are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees of the Trust. For example, a security whose trading has been halted during the trading day may be fair valued based on the available information at the time of the close of the trading market. Similarly, securities for which there is no ready market (e.g., securities of certain small capitalization issuers, high yield securities and certain issuers located in emerging markets) also may be fair valued. Some methods for valuing these securities may include: fundamental analysis (earnings multiple, etc.), matrix pricing, discounts from market prices of similar securities, or discounts applied due to the nature and duration of restrictions on the disposition of the securities.

Events or circumstances affecting the values of portfolio securities that occur between the closing of their principal markets and the time the net asset value is determined, such as foreign securities trading on foreign exchanges that close before the time the net asset value of portfolio shares is determined, may be reflected in the Trust’s calculations of net asset values for each applicable portfolio when the Trust deems that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such portfolio’s net asset value. Such events or circumstances may be company specific, such as an earning report, country or region specific, such as a natural disaster, or global in nature. Such events or circumstances also may include price movements in the U.S. securities markets.

The effect of fair value pricing as described above is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Trust’s Board of Trustees believes reflects fair value. As such, fair value pricing is based on subjective judgments and it is possible that fair value may differ materially from the value realized on a sale. This policy is intended to assure that the portfolio’s net asset value fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. Also, fair valuation of a portfolio’s securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the portfolio’s NAV by those traders.

Dividends and Other Distributions

The Acquiring Portfolios generally distribute most or all of their net investment income and their net realized gains, if any, annually. Dividends and other distributions by an Acquiring Portfolio are automatically reinvested at net asset value in shares of that Acquiring Portfolio.

Federal Income Tax Considerations

Each of the Trust’s Portfolios currently only sells its shares to insurance company separate accounts, tax-qualified retirement plans and other eligible investors. Accordingly, distributions an Acquiring Portfolio makes of its net investment income and net realized gains

 

31


— most or all of which it intends to distribute annually — and redemptions or exchanges of that Portfolio’s shares generally will not be taxable to its shareholders (or to the holders of underlying Contracts or plan participants or beneficiaries). See the prospectus for your Contract for further tax information.

Each Acquiring Portfolio is treated as a separate corporation, and intends to continue to qualify to be treated as a regulated investment company, for federal tax purposes. An Acquiring Portfolio will be so treated if it meets specified federal income tax rules, including requirements regarding types of investments, limits on investments, types of income, and distributions. A regulated investment company that satisfies those requirements is not taxed at the entity (Portfolio) level to the extent it passes through its net income and gains to its shareholders by making distributions. Although the Trust intends that each Acquiring Portfolio will be operated to have no federal tax liability, if an Acquiring Portfolio does have any federal tax liability, that would hurt its investment performance. Also, an Acquiring Portfolio that invests in foreign securities or holds foreign currencies could be subject to foreign taxes that would reduce its investment performance.

It is important for each Acquiring Portfolio to maintain its regulated investment company status (and to satisfy certain other requirements) because the shareholders of an Acquiring Portfolio that are insurance company separate accounts will then be able to use a “look-through” rule in determining whether the Contracts indirectly funded by the Portfolio meet the investment diversification rules for separate accounts. If an Acquiring Portfolio failed to meet those diversification rules, owners of non-pension plan Contracts funded through that Portfolio would be taxed immediately on the accumulated investment earnings under their Contracts and would lose any benefit of tax deferral. AXA Equitable, in its capacity as Manager and administrator of the Trust, therefore carefully monitors compliance with all of the regulated investment company rules and separate account investment diversification rules.

Contractholders seeking to more fully understand the tax consequences of their investment should consult with their tax advisers or the insurance company that issued their Contract or refer to their Contract prospectus.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The following financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand the financial performance of each Acquiring Portfolio’s Class IA and Class IB shares. The financial information in the tables is for the past five years (or, if shorter, the period of the Portfolio’s operations). The financial information below for the Class IA and Class IB shares of each Acquiring Portfolio has been derived from the financial statements of each Acquiring Portfolio, which have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), an independent registered public accounting firm. PwC’s report on each Acquiring Portfolio’s financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and the financial statements themselves appear in the Trust’s Annual Report.

Certain information reflects financial results for a single share. The total returns in the tables represent the rate that a shareholder would have earned (or lost) on an investment in each Acquiring Portfolio (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions). The total return figures shown below do not reflect any Separate Account or Contract fees and charges. The total return figures would be lower if they did reflect such fees and charges. The information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in the Trust’s Annual Report, which are incorporated by reference into the Trust’s Statement of Additional Information relating to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and available upon request.

VOTING INFORMATION

The following information applies to the Reorganization of each Acquired Portfolio and Acquiring Portfolio for which you are entitled to vote.

Voting Rights

Shareholders with amounts allocated to the Acquired Portfolios at the close of business on January 31, 2011 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to be present and vote or give voting instructions for the applicable Acquired Portfolio at the Meeting with respect to their shares or shares attributable to their Contracts as of the Record Date.

Each whole share of the Acquired Portfolios is entitled to one vote as to each matter with respect to which it is entitled to vote, as described above, and each fractional share is entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Votes cast by proxy or in person by a shareholder at the Meeting will be counted by persons appointed as inspectors of election for the Meeting. The table below shows the number of outstanding shares of the Acquired Portfolios as of the Record Date that are entitled to vote at the Meeting. Together, the Insurance Companies owned of record more than 95% of those shares.

Required Shareholder Vote

Approval of a Plan with respect to a Reorganization involving an Acquired Portfolio will require the affirmative vote of (i) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Portfolio present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities, whichever is less. The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least one-third of the shares of an Acquired Portfolio entitled to vote at the Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting with respect to an Acquired Portfolio. If a proxy card is not marked to indicate voting instructions but is signed, dated and returned, it will be treated as an instruction to vote the shares in favor of the proposal. If a shareholder abstains from voting as to any matter, the shares represented by the abstention will be deemed present at the Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be voted and, therefore, will have the effect of a vote against the Reorganization(s).

To the knowledge of the Trust, as of the Record Date, the officers and Trustees owned, as a group, less than 1% of the shares of each Portfolio.

Each Insurance Company may be deemed to be a control person of each Portfolio by virtue of its direct or indirect ownership of more than 25% of the shares of each Portfolio. In addition, AXA Equitable may be deemed to be a control person of the Trust by virtue of its direct or indirect ownership of more than 95% of the Trust’s shares. Shareholders owning 25% or more of the outstanding shares of a Portfolio may be able to determine the outcome of most issues that are submitted to shareholders for a vote. As of the Record Date, except as set forth in Appendix C, to the Trust’s knowledge, (1) no person, other than the Insurance Companies, owned beneficially or of record 5% or more of the outstanding Class IA or Class IB shares of a Portfolio and (2) no Contractholder owned Contracts entitling such Contractholder to give voting instructions regarding more than 5% of the outstanding Class IA or Class IB shares of a Portfolio.

Solicitation of Proxies and Voting Instructions

Solicitation of proxies and voting instructions is being made primarily by the mailing of this Notice and Proxy Statement/Prospectus with its enclosures on or about February     , 2011. In addition to the solicitation of proxies and voting instructions by mail, officers, agents and employees of AXA Equitable and the Trust and their affiliates, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies and voting instructions in person or by telephone, telegraph, fax, the internet or oral communication.

Contractholders with amounts allocated to an Acquired Portfolio on the Record Date will be entitled to be present and give voting instructions for the Acquired Portfolio at the Meeting with respect to shares held indirectly as of the Record Date, to the extent required by applicable law. An Insurance Company will vote the shares for which it receives timely voting instructions from Contractholders in accordance with those instructions. An Insurance Company will vote shares attributable to Contracts for which it is the Contractholder “FOR” each proposal. Shares in each investment division of a Separate Account for which an Insurance Company receives a voting instruction card that is signed, dated and timely returned but is not marked to indicate voting instructions will be treated as an instruction to vote the shares in favor of the applicable proposal. Shares in each investment division of a Separate Account for which an Insurance Company receives no timely voting instructions from Contractholders, or which are attributable to amounts retained by AXA Equitable as surplus or seed money, will be voted by the applicable Insurance Company “FOR” or “AGAINST” approval of the proposal, or as an abstention, in the same proportion as the shares for which Contractholders (other the Insurance Company) have provided voting instructions to the Insurance Company.

Voting instructions executed by a Contractholder may be revoked at any time prior to an Insurance Company voting the shares represented thereby by the Contractholder providing the Insurance Company with a properly executed written revocation of such voting instructions, or by the Contractholder providing the Insurance Company with proper later-dated voting instructions by voting instruction card, telephone or the Internet. In addition, any Contractholder who attends the Meeting in person may provide voting instructions by a voting instruction card at the Meeting, thereby canceling any voting instruction previously given. Proxies executed by an Insurance Company may be revoked at any time before they are exercised by a written revocation duly received, by properly executing a later-dated proxy or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

An Insurance Company will vote as directed by the voting instruction card, but in the absence of voting instructions in any voting instruction card that is signed and returned, an Insurance Company intends to vote “FOR” the applicable proposal and may vote in its discretion with respect to other matters not now known to the Board that may be presented at the Meeting.

Proxy Solicitation

The cost of the Meeting, including the cost of solicitation of proxies and voting instructions, will be borne by the Acquired Portfolios up to an aggregate maximum of $100,000, with AXA Equitable bearing any such expenses in excess of this amount. The principal solicitation will be by mail, but voting instructions also may be solicited by telephone, telegraph, fax, personal interview by officers or agents of the Trust or the Internet. Contractholders can provide voting instructions: (1) by Internet at our website at             ; (2) by telephone at 1-800-            ; or (3) by mail, with the enclosed voting instruction card.

Adjournment

If sufficient votes in favor of a proposal are not received by the time scheduled for the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the session of the Meeting to be adjourned. An Insurance Company will vote in favor of such adjournment those proxies that it is entitled to vote in favor of the proposal. An Insurance Company will vote against the adjournment those proxies required to be voted against the proposal. An Insurance Company will pay the costs of any additional solicitation and any adjourned session.

Other Matters

The Trust does not know of any matters to be presented at the Meeting other than those described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. If other business properly comes before the Meeting, the proxyholders will vote thereon in accordance with their best judgment.

The Trust is not required to hold regular shareholder meetings and, in order to minimize its costs, does not intend to hold meetings of shareholders unless so required by applicable law, regulation or regulatory policy or if otherwise deemed advisable by the Trust’s management. Therefore, it is not practicable to specify a date by which proposals must be received in order to be incorporated in an upcoming proxy statement for a meeting of shareholders.

Prompt execution and return of the enclosed voting instruction card is requested. A self-addressed, postage-paid envelope is enclosed for your convenience. If executed but unmarked voting instructions are received, an Insurance Company will vote those unmarked voting instructions in favor of the Reorganization Plan.

APPENDIX A

PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND TERMINATION

THIS PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND TERMINATION (“Plan”) is adopted by EQ ADVISORS TRUST, a Delaware statutory trust (“Trust”), on behalf of each of its segregated portfolios of assets (“series”) listed on Schedule A to this Plan (“Schedule A”). (Each series listed under the heading “Targets” on Schedule A is referred to herein as a “Target”; each series listed under the heading “Acquiring Portfolios” on Schedule A is referred to herein as an “Acquiring Portfolio”; and each Target and Acquiring Portfolio is sometimes referred to herein as a “Portfolio.”) All agreements, covenants, actions, and obligations of each Portfolio contained herein shall be deemed to be agreements, covenants, actions, and obligations of, and all rights and benefits created hereunder in favor of each Portfolio shall inure to and be enforceable by, the Trust acting on its behalf.

The Trust (1) is a statutory trust that is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (2) is duly registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and (3) has the power to own all its properties and assets and to carry on its business as described in its current registration statement on Form N-1A. Each Portfolio is a duly established and designated series thereof.

The Trust may sell voting shares of beneficial interest in the Portfolios, $0.001 par value per share (“shares”), to (1) separate accounts of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA Equitable”), (2) separate accounts of AXA Life and Annuity Company and other affiliated or unaffiliated insurance companies, (3) AXA Equitable’s Investment Plan for Employees (a 401(k) plan it sponsors) and other tax-qualified retirement plans, and (4) other series of the Trust and series of AXA Premier VIP Trust, a separate registered investment company managed by AXA Equitable that currently sells its shares to such accounts and plans. At the date of adoption hereof, some shares in certain Portfolios are held by one or more shareholders described in clauses (2) – (4) (collectively, “Other Shareholders”) and the balance of the shares in those Portfolios and all the shares in each other Portfolio are held by AXA Equitable for separate accounts thereof. The Portfolios are underlying investment options for those separate accounts, which fund certain variable annuity certificates and contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by AXA Equitable (collectively, “Contracts”). Under applicable law, the assets of all those separate accounts (i.e., the shares of the Portfolios) are the property of AXA Equitable, which is the owner of record of those shares, and are held for the benefit of the Contract holders.

The Trust wishes to effect two separate reorganizations, each described in section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) (all “section” references are to the Code, unless otherwise noted), and intends this Plan to be, and adopts it as, a “plan of reorganization” (within the meaning of the regulations under section 368(a) (“Regulations”)). Each reorganization will consist of (1) the transfer of all of a Target’s assets to the Acquiring Portfolio listed on Schedule A opposite its name (“corresponding Acquiring Portfolio”) in exchange solely for shares in that Acquiring Portfolio and that Acquiring Portfolio’s assumption of all of that Target’s liabilities, (2) the distribution of those shares pro rata to that Target’s shareholders in exchange for their shares in that Target and in liquidation thereof, and (3) that Target’s termination (all the foregoing transactions involving each Target

 

A-1


and its corresponding Acquiring Portfolio being referred to herein collectively as a “Reorganization”), all on the terms and conditions set forth herein. The consummation of one Reorganization shall not be contingent on the consummation of any other Reorganization. (For convenience, the balance of this Plan, except paragraph 5, refers only to a single Reorganization, one Target, and one Acquiring Portfolio, but the terms and conditions hereof shall apply separately to each Reorganization and the Portfolios participating therein.)

The Trust’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as amended (“Declaration”), permits it to vary its shareholders’ investment. The Trust does not have a fixed pool of assets — each series thereof (including each Portfolio) is a managed portfolio of securities, and AXA Equitable and each investment sub-adviser thereof have the authority to buy and sell securities for it.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”), including a majority of its members who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) thereof, (1) has duly adopted and approved this Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby and has duly authorized performance thereof on each Portfolio’s behalf by all necessary Board action and (2) has determined that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of each Portfolio and that the interests of the existing shareholders thereof will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

Target offers two classes of shares, designated Class IA and Class IB shares (“Class IA Target Shares” and “Class IB Target Shares,” respectively, and collectively, “Target Shares”). Acquiring Portfolio also offers two classes of shares, also designated Class IA and Class IB shares (“Class IA Acquiring Portfolio Shares” and “Class IB Acquiring Portfolio Shares,” respectively, and collectively, “Acquiring Portfolio Shares”). The Portfolios’ identically designated classes of shares have identical characteristics.

1. PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND TERMINATION

1.1 Subject to the requisite approval of Target’s shareholders and the terms and conditions set forth herein, Target shall assign, sell, convey, transfer, and deliver all of its assets described in paragraph 1.2 (“Assets”) to Acquiring Portfolio. In exchange therefor, Acquiring Portfolio shall —

(a) issue and deliver to Target the number of full and fractional (all references herein to “fractional” shares meaning fractions rounded to the eighth decimal place) (i) Class IA Acquiring Portfolio Shares determined by dividing Target’s net value (computed as set forth in paragraph 2.1) (“Target Value”) attributable to the Class IA Target Shares by the net asset value (computed as set forth in paragraph 2.2) (“NAV”) of a Class IA Acquiring Portfolio Share and (ii) Class IB Acquiring Portfolio Shares determined by dividing the Target Value attributable to the Class IB Target Shares by the NAV of a Class IB Acquiring Portfolio Share, and

(b) assume all of Target’s liabilities described in paragraph 1.3 (“Liabilities”).

Such transactions shall take place at the Closing (as defined in paragraph 3.1).

 

A-2


1.2 The Assets shall consist of all assets and property — including all cash, cash equivalents, securities, commodities, futures interests, receivables (including interest and dividends receivable), claims and rights of action, rights to register shares under applicable securities laws, books and records, and deferred and prepaid expenses (other than unamortized organizational expenses) shown as assets on Target’s books — Target owns at the Valuation Time (as defined in paragraph 2.1).

1.3 The Liabilities shall consist of all of Target’s liabilities, debts, obligations, and duties of whatever kind or nature existing at the Valuation Time, whether absolute, accrued, contingent, or otherwise, whether known or unknown, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, whether or not determinable at the Effective Time (as defined in paragraph 3.1), and whether or not specifically referred to in this Plan, except Reorganization Expenses (as defined in paragraph 4.3(j)) borne by Acquiring Portfolio and AXA Equitable pursuant to paragraph 5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Target will endeavor to discharge all its known liabilities, debts, obligations, and duties before the Effective Time.

1.4 At or immediately before the Effective Time, Target shall declare and pay to its shareholders one or more dividends and/or other distributions in an amount large enough so that it will have distributed substantially all (and in any event not less than 98%) of its (a) “investment company taxable income” (within the meaning of section 852(b)(2)), computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, and (b) “net capital gain” (as defined in section 1222(11)), after reduction by any capital loss carryforward, for prior taxable years and the current taxable year through the Effective Time.

1.5 At the Effective Time (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable), Target shall distribute the Acquiring Portfolio Shares it receives pursuant to paragraph 1.1(a) to the separate accounts for which AXA Equitable holds Target Shares, and Other Shareholders, of record at the Effective Time (each, a “Shareholder”), in proportion to the Target Shares then so held and in constructive exchange therefor, and shall completely liquidate. That distribution shall be accomplished by the Trust’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) opening accounts on Acquiring Portfolio’s shareholder records in the names of the Shareholders (except Shareholders in whose names accounts thereon already exist) and transferring those Acquiring Portfolio Shares to those newly opened and existing accounts. Each Shareholder’s newly opened or existing account shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional Acquiring Portfolio Shares due that Shareholder, by class (i.e., the account for each Shareholder that holds Class IA Target Shares shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional Class IA Acquiring Portfolio Shares due that Shareholder, and the account for each Shareholder that holds Class IB Target Shares shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional Class IB Acquiring Portfolio Shares due that Shareholder). The aggregate NAV of Acquiring Portfolio Shares to be so credited to each Shareholder’s account shall equal the aggregate NAV of the Target Shares such Shareholder owned at the Effective Time. All issued and outstanding Target Shares, including any represented by certificates, shall simultaneously be canceled on Target’s shareholder records. Acquiring Portfolio shall not issue certificates representing the Acquiring Portfolio Shares issued in connection with the Reorganization.

 

A-3


1.6 As soon as reasonably practicable after distribution of the Acquiring Portfolio Shares pursuant to paragraph 1.5, but in all events within six months after the Effective Time, Target shall be terminated as a series of the Trust and any further actions shall be taken in connection therewith as required by applicable law.

1.7 Any reporting responsibility of Target to a public authority, including the responsibility for filing regulatory reports, tax returns, and other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), any state securities commission, any federal, state, and local tax authorities, and any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain its responsibility up to and including the date on which it is terminated.

2. VALUATION

2.1 For purposes of paragraph 1.1(a), Target’s net value shall be (a) the value of the Assets computed immediately after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, and the declaration of any dividends and/or other distributions, on the date of the Closing (“Valuation Time”), using the valuation procedures set forth in the Trust’s then-current prospectus and statement of additional information and valuation procedures established by the Board, less (b) the amount of the Liabilities at the Valuation Time.

2.2 For purposes of paragraph 1.1(a), the NAV per share for each class of Acquiring Portfolio Shares shall be computed at the Valuation Time, using the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1.

2.3 All computations pursuant to paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2 shall be made by AXA Equitable, in its capacity as the Trust’s administrator.

3. CLOSING AND EFFECTIVE TIME

3.1 Unless the Trust determines otherwise, all acts necessary to consummate the Reorganization (“Closing”) shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of immediately after the close of business (4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on a date in April 2011 determined by the Trust (“Effective Time”). If at the Valuation Time (a) the New York Stock Exchange or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of either Portfolio (each, an “Exchange”) is closed to trading or trading thereon is restricted or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on an Exchange or elsewhere is disrupted so that, in the Board’s judgment, accurate appraisal of the value of either Portfolio’s net assets and/or the NAV per share of either class of Acquiring Portfolio Shares is impracticable, the Effective Time shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when such trading has been fully resumed and such reporting has been restored. The Closing shall be held at the Trust’s offices or at such other place as the Trust determines.

3.2 The Trust shall direct the custodian of the Portfolios’ assets to deliver at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that (a) the Assets it holds will be transferred to Acquiring Portfolio at the Effective Time, (b) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets, including all applicable federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid or provision for payment has been made, and (c) the information (including adjusted basis and holding period, by lot) concerning the Assets, including all portfolio securities, transferred by Target to Acquiring Portfolio, as reflected on Acquiring Portfolio’s books immediately after the Closing, does or will conform to such information on Target’s books immediately before the Closing.

 

A-4


3.3 The Trust shall direct the Transfer Agent to deliver at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer (a) stating that its records contain the number of full and fractional outstanding Target Shares each Shareholder owns at the Effective Time and (b) as to the opening of accounts on Acquiring Portfolio’s shareholder records in the names of the Shareholders (except Shareholders in whose names accounts thereon already exist) and a confirmation, or other evidence satisfactory to the Trust, that the Acquiring Portfolio Shares to be credited to Target at the Effective Time have been credited to Target’s account on those records.

4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

4.1 The Trust’s obligation to implement this Plan on Acquiring Portfolio’s behalf shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions at or before (and continuing through) the Effective Time:

(a) At the Effective Time, the Trust, on Target’s behalf, will have good and marketable title to the Assets and full right, power, and authority to sell, assign, transfer, and deliver the Assets hereunder free of any liens or other encumbrances (except securities that are subject to “securities loans,” as referred to in section 851(b)(2), or that are restricted to resale by their terms); and on delivery and payment for the Assets, the Trust, on Acquiring Portfolio’s behalf, will acquire good and marketable title thereto, subject to no restrictions on the full transfer thereof, including restrictions that might arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”);

(b) Target is not currently engaged in, and the Trust’s adoption and performance of this Plan and consummation of the Reorganization will not result in, (1) a conflict with or material violation of any provision of Delaware law, the Declaration or the Trust’s By-Laws (collectively, “Governing Documents”), or any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, or other undertaking (each, an “Undertaking”) to which the Trust, on Target’s behalf, is a party or by which it is bound or (2) the acceleration of any obligation, or the imposition of any penalty, under any Undertaking, judgment, or decree to which the Trust, on Target’s behalf, is a party or by which it is bound;

(c) All material contracts and other commitments of or applicable to Target (other than this Plan and certain investment contracts, including options, futures, forward contracts, and swap agreements) will terminate, or provision for discharge of any liabilities of Target thereunder will be made, at or before the Effective Time, without either Portfolio’s incurring any liability or penalty with respect thereto and without diminishing or releasing any rights the Trust, on Target’s behalf, may have had with respect to actions taken or omitted or to be taken by any other party thereto before the Closing;

(d) No litigation, administrative proceeding, action, or investigation of or before any court, governmental body, or arbitrator is presently pending or, to the Trust’s

 

A-5


knowledge, threatened against the Trust, with respect to Target or any of its properties or assets attributable or allocable to Target, that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect Target’s financial condition or the conduct of its business; and the Trust, on Target’s behalf, knows of no facts that might form the basis for the institution of any such litigation, proceeding, action, or investigation and is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree, judgment, or award of any court, governmental body, or arbitrator that materially and adversely affects Target’s business or the Trust’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;

(e) Target’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities (including Schedule of Investments), Statement of Operations, and Statement of Changes in Net Assets (collectively, “Statements”) at and for the fiscal year (in the case of the last Statement, for the two fiscal years) ended December 31, 2009, have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied in the United States (“GAAP”); and such Statements and Target’s unaudited Statements at and for the six months ended June 30, 2009, present fairly, in all material respects, Target’s financial condition at their respective dates in accordance with GAAP, and there are no known contingent liabilities of Target required to be reflected on a balance sheet (including the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP at either such date that are not disclosed therein;

(f) Since December 31, 2009, there has not been any material adverse change in Target’s financial condition, assets, liabilities, or business, other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business, or any incurrence by Target of indebtedness maturing more than one year from the date such indebtedness was incurred; for purposes of this subparagraph, a decline in NAV per Target Share due to declines in market values of securities Target holds, the discharge of Target liabilities, or the redemption of Target Shares by its shareholders shall not constitute a material adverse change;

(g) At the Effective Time, all federal and other tax returns, dividend reporting forms, and other tax-related reports (collectively, “Returns”) of Target required by law to have been filed by such time (including any extensions) shall have been filed and are or will be correct in all material respects, and all federal and other taxes shown as due or required to be shown as due on such Returns shall have been paid or provision shall have been made for the payment thereof, and to the best of the Trust’s knowledge, no such Return is currently under audit and no assessment has been asserted with respect to such Returns;

(k) To the best of the Trust’s management’s knowledge, at the record date for Target’s shareholders entitled to vote on approval of this Plan, there was no plan or intention by its shareholders to redeem, sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of a number of Target Shares (or Acquiring Portfolio Shares to be received in the Reorganization), in connection with the Reorganization, that would reduce their ownership of the Target Shares (or the equivalent Acquiring Portfolio Shares) to a number of shares that was less than 50% of the number of the Target Shares at such date;

(l) All issued and outstanding Target Shares are, and at the Effective Time will be, duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid, and non-assessable by the Trust and have been offered and sold in every state and the District of Columbia in compliance in all material respects with applicable registration requirements of the 1933 Act and state securities laws; all issued and outstanding Target Shares will, at the Effective Time, be held by the persons and in the amounts set forth on Target’s shareholder records, as provided in paragraph 3.3; and Target does not have outstanding any options, warrants, or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Target Shares, nor are there outstanding any securities convertible into any Target Shares;

(p) Not more than 25% of the value of Target’s total assets (excluding cash, cash items, and U.S. government securities) is invested in the stock and securities of any one issuer, and not more than 50% of the value of such assets is invested in the stock and securities of five or fewer issuers.

(b) Acquiring Portfolio is not currently engaged in, and the Trust’s adoption and performance of this Plan and consummation of the Reorganization will not result in, (1) a conflict with or material violation of any provision of Delaware law, the Governing Documents, or any Undertaking to which the Trust, on Acquiring Portfolio’s behalf, is a party or by which it is bound or (2) the acceleration of any obligation, or the imposition of any penalty, under any Undertaking, judgment, or decree to which the Trust, on Acquiring Portfolio’s behalf, is a party or by which it is bound;

(c) No litigation, administrative proceeding, action, or investigation of or before any court, governmental body, or arbitrator is presently pending or, to the Trust’s knowledge, threatened against the Trust, with respect to Acquiring Portfolio or any of its properties or assets attributable or allocable to Acquiring Portfolio, that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect Acquiring Portfolio’s financial condition or the conduct of its business; and the Trust, on Acquiring Portfolio’s behalf, knows of no facts that might form the basis for the institution of any such litigation, proceeding, action, or investigation and is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree, judgment, or award of any court, governmental body, or arbitrator that materially and adversely affects Acquiring Portfolio’s business or the Trust’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;

(f) At the Effective Time, all Returns of Acquiring Portfolio required by law to have been filed by such time (including any extensions) shall have been filed and are or will be correct in all material respects, and all federal and other taxes shown as due or required to be shown as due on such Returns shall have been paid or provision shall have been made for the payment thereof, and to the best of the Trust’s knowledge, no such Return is currently under audit and no assessment has been asserted with respect to such Returns;

(h) Acquiring Portfolio is in the same line of business as Target was in preceding the Reorganization, for purposes of section 1.368-1(d)(2) of the Regulations, and did not enter into such line of business as part of the plan of reorganization; following the Reorganization, Acquiring Portfolio will continue, and has no intention to change, such line of business; and at the Effective Time, (1) at least 33 1/3% of Target’s portfolio assets will meet Acquiring Portfolio’s investment objective, strategies, policies, risks, and restrictions and (2) Acquiring Portfolio will have no plan or intention to change its investment objective or any of its investment strategies, policies, risks, or restrictions after the Reorganization;

In rendering the Tax Opinion, Counsel may assume satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in this paragraph 4, may treat them as representations and warranties the Trust made to Counsel, and may rely as to factual matters, exclusively and without independent verification, on such representations and warranties and, if Counsel requests, on representations and warranties made in a separate letter addressed to Counsel (collectively, “Representations”). The Tax Opinion shall be substantially to the effect that, based on the facts and assumptions stated therein and conditioned on the Representations’ being true and complete at the Effective Time and consummation of the Reorganization in accordance with this Plan (without the waiver or modification of any terms or conditions hereof and without taking into account any amendment hereof that Counsel has not approved), for federal income tax purposes:

(1) Target’s transfer of the Assets to Acquiring Portfolio in exchange solely for Acquiring Portfolio Shares and Acquiring Portfolio’s assumption of the Liabilities, followed by Target’s distribution of those shares pro rata to the Shareholders actually or constructively in exchange for their Target Shares, in complete liquidation of Target, will qualify as a “reorganization” (as defined in section 368(a)(1)(D)), and each Portfolio will be “a party to a reorganization” (within the meaning of section 368(b));

(2) Target will recognize no gain or loss on the transfer of the Assets to Acquiring Portfolio in exchange solely for Acquiring Portfolio Shares and Acquiring Portfolio’s assumption of the Liabilities or on the subsequent distribution of those shares to the Shareholders in exchange for their Target Shares;

(3) Acquiring Portfolio will recognize no gain or loss on its receipt of the Assets in exchange solely for Acquiring Portfolio Shares and its assumption of the Liabilities;

(4) Acquiring Portfolio’s basis in each Asset will be the same as Target’s basis therein immediately before the Reorganization, and Acquiring Portfolio’s holding period for each Asset will include Target’s holding period therefor (except where Acquiring Portfolio’s investment activities have the effect of reducing or eliminating an Asset’s holding period);

(5) A Shareholder will recognize no gain or loss on the exchange of all its Target Shares solely for Acquiring Portfolio Shares pursuant to the Reorganization; and

(6) A Shareholder’s aggregate basis in the Acquiring Portfolio Shares it receives in the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis in its Target Shares it actually or constructively surrenders in exchange for those Acquiring Portfolio Shares, and its holding period for those Acquiring Portfolio Shares will include, in each instance, its holding period for those Target Shares, provided the Shareholder holds them as capital assets at the Effective Time.

Notwithstanding subparagraphs (2) and (4), the Tax Opinion may state that no opinion is expressed as to the effect of the Reorganization on the Portfolios or any Shareholder with respect to any Asset as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting.

5. EXPENSES

Subject to satisfaction of the condition contained in paragraph 4.3(j), the sum of the following Reorganization Expenses for the Reorganizations (collectively, “Identified Expenses”), up to an aggregate maximum of $100,000, shall be borne by the Acquired Portfolios in proportion to their respective NAVs at the Valuation Time, with any Identified Expenses in excess of such amount borne solely by AXA Equitable: (1) costs associated with obtaining any necessary order of exemption from the 1940 Act, preparing the Registration Statement, and printing and distributing Acquiring Portfolio’s prospectus and Target’s proxy materials, (2) legal and accounting fees in connection with the Reorganization, and (3) expenses of holding the Shareholders Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) AXA Equitable shall not bear any brokerage or similar expenses incurred by or for the benefit of any Portfolio in connection with the Reorganizations, (b) all expenses other than Identified Expenses shall be borne by the Portfolio that directly incurs them, and (c) expenses shall be paid by the Portfolio directly incurring them if and to the extent that the payment thereof by another person would result in such Portfolio’s disqualification as a RIC or would prevent the Reorganization from qualifying as a tax-free reorganization.

6. TERMINATION

The Board may terminate this Plan and abandon the transactions contemplated hereby, at any time before the Effective Time, if circumstances develop that, in its opinion, make proceeding with the Reorganization inadvisable for either Portfolio.

7. AMENDMENTS

The Board may amend, modify, or supplement this Plan at any time in any manner, notwithstanding Target’s shareholders’ approval thereof; provided that, following such approval, no such amendment, modification, or supplement shall have a material adverse effect on the Shareholders’ interests.

8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws; provided that, in the case of any conflict between those laws and the federal securities laws, the latter shall govern.

8.2 Nothing expressed or implied herein is intended or shall be construed to confer on or give any person, firm, trust, or corporation other than the Trust (on the Portfolios’ behalf) and its successors and assigns any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Plan.

8.3 Notice is hereby given that this instrument is adopted on behalf of the Trust’s trustees solely in their capacities as trustees, and not individually, and that the Trust’s obligations under this instrument are not binding on or enforceable against any of its trustees, officers, shareholders, or series other than the Portfolios but are only binding on and enforceable against the respective Portfolio’s property. The Trust, in asserting any rights or claims under this Plan on either Portfolio’s behalf, shall look only to the other Portfolio’s property in settlement of such rights or claims and not to the property of any other series of the Trust or to such trustees, officers, or shareholders.

8.4 Any term or provision of this Plan that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms and provisions hereof in any other jurisdiction.

More Information on Strategies and Risk Factors

Strategies

Changes in Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies

Each Portfolio has its own investment objective(s), policies and strategies. There is no assurance that a Portfolio will achieve its investment objective. The investment objective and, except as otherwise noted, the investment policies of a Portfolio are not fundamental policies and may be changed without a shareholder vote.

80% Policies

Each of the Acquiring Portfolios has a policy that it will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in a particular type of investment connoted by its name. Each such policy is subject to change only upon at least sixty (60) days’ prior notice to shareholders of the affected Portfolio.

PLUS Portfolios

Each allocation percentage for Growth PLUS Portfolio is an asset allocation target established by AXA Equitable to achieve the Portfolio’s investment objective and may be changed without shareholder approval. Actual allocations among the distinct portions of the Portfolio may deviate from the amounts shown above by up to 15% of the Portfolio’s net assets. The asset allocation range for the Portfolio is as follows: 15% to 45% in the Active Allocated Portion; 45% to 75% in the Index Allocated Portion; and 0% to 25% in the ETF Allocated Portion. Each portion of the Portfolio may deviate temporarily from its asset allocation target for defensive purposes or as a result of appreciation or depreciation of its holdings. AXA Equitable rebalances each portion of the Portfolio as it deems appropriate. To the extent that the Portfolio is being rebalanced or takes a temporary defensive position, it may not be pursuing its investment goal or executing its principal investment strategy.

Active Management Strategies

Each Adviser has complete discretion to select portfolio securities for its portion of a portfolio’s assets, subject to the Portfolio’s investment objectives, restrictions and policies and other parameters that may be developed from time to time by the Manager. In selecting investments, the Advisers use their proprietary investment strategies. The following is an additional general description of certain common types of active management strategies that may be used by the Advisers to the Portfolios.

Growth investing generally focuses on companies that, due to their strong earnings and revenue potential, offer above-average prospects for capital growth, with less emphasis on dividend income. Earnings predictability and confidence in earnings forecasts are an important part of the selection process. An Adviser using this approach generally seeks out companies experiencing some or all of the following: high sales growth, high unit growth, high or improving returns on assets and equity, and a strong balance sheet. Such an Adviser also prefers companies with a competitive advantage such as unique management, marketing or research and development.

Value investing attempts to identify strong companies selling at a discount from their perceived true worth. An Adviser using this approach generally selects stocks at prices that, in its view, are temporarily low relative to the company’s earnings, assets, cash flow and dividends. Value investing generally emphasizes companies that, considering their assets and earnings history, are attractively priced and may provide dividend income.

Additional Strategies

The following provides additional information regarding the principal investment strategies discussed in “Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Strategies” and additional investment strategies that the Portfolios may employ in pursuing their investment objectives. Each strategy may apply to all of the Portfolios. For further information about investment strategies, please see the Portfolios’ Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”).

Derivatives. Each Portfolio may use “derivative” instruments to hedge its portfolio against market, economic, currency, issuer and other risks, to gain or manage exposure to the markets, sectors and securities in which the Portfolio may invest and to other economic factors that affect the Portfolio’s performance (such as interest rate movements), to increase total return or income, to reduce transaction costs, to manage cash, and for other portfolio management purposes. In general terms, a derivative instrument is an investment contract the value of which is linked to (or is derived from), in whole or in part, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index (e.g., stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates and market indexes). Certain derivative securities may have the effect of creating financial leverage by multiplying a change in the value of the asset underlying the derivative to produce a greater change in the value of the derivative security. This creates an opportunity for increased return but, at the same time, creates the possibility for greater loss (including the likelihood of greater volatility in the net asset value of the shares of a Portfolio). Futures and options contracts (including futures and options on individual securities and equity and bond market indexes and options on futures contracts), swaps and forward contracts, including forward currency contracts, are examples of derivatives in which a Portfolio may invest.

Equity Securities. Certain Portfolios, including certain Portfolios that invest primarily in debt securities, may invest in equity securities. Equity securities may be bought on stock exchanges or in the over-the-counter market. Equity securities generally include common stock, preferred stock, warrants, securities convertible into common stock, securities of other investment companies and securities of real estate investment trusts.

Foreign Securities. Certain Portfolios may invest in foreign securities, including securities of companies in emerging markets. Generally, foreign securities are issued by companies organized outside the U.S. or by foreign governments or international organizations, are traded primarily in markets outside the U.S., and are denominated in a foreign currency. Foreign securities may include securities of issuers in developing countries or emerging markets, which generally involve greater risk because the economic structures of these countries and markets are less developed and their political systems are less stable. In addition, foreign securities may include depositary receipts of foreign companies. American Depositary Receipts are receipts typically issued by an American bank or trust company that evidence underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. European Depositary Receipts (issued in Europe) and Global Depositary Receipts (issued throughout the world) each evidence a similar ownership arrangement. Depositary receipts also may be convertible into securities of foreign issuers. These securities may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the securities into which they may be converted.

Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Companies. Each Portfolio may invest in the securities of mid- and small-cap companies. These companies are more likely than larger companies to have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or to depend on a small, inexperienced management groups. Generally, they are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and their securities may be less well-known, trade less frequently and in more limited volume than the securities of larger more established companies.

Portfolio Turnover. The Portfolios do not restrict the frequency of trading to limit expenses. The Portfolios may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve their investment objectives. Frequent trading can result in a portfolio turnover in excess of 100% (high portfolio turnover).

Securities Lending. For purposes of realizing additional income, each Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities with a value of up to 33 1/3% of the Portfolio’s total assets (including collateral received for securities lent) to broker-dealers approved by the Trust’s board of trustees. Generally, any such loan of portfolio securities will be continuously secured by collateral at least equal to the value of the security loaned. Such collateral will be in the form of cash, marketable securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies, or a standby letter of credit issued by qualified banks. Loans will only be made to firms deemed by the Manager to be of good standing and will not be made unless the consideration to be earned from such loans justifies the risk.

 

B-2


Securities of Other Investment Companies. Each Portfolio may invest in the securities of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), to the extent permitted by applicable law. Generally, a Portfolio’s investments in other investment companies are subject to statutory limitations in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), including in certain circumstances a prohibition against acquiring shares of another investment company if, immediately after such acquisition, the Portfolio and its affiliated persons (i) would hold more than 3% of such other investment company’s total outstanding shares, (ii) would have invested more than 5% of its total assets in such other investment company, or (iii) would have invested more than 10% of its total assets in investment companies. However, there are statutory and regulatory exemptions from these restrictions under the 1940 Act on which the Portfolios may rely to invest in other investment companies in excess of these limits, subject to certain conditions. In addition, many ETFs have obtained exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to permit unaffiliated funds (such as the Portfolios) to invest in their shares beyond the statutory limits, subject to certain conditions and pursuant to contractual arrangements between the ETFs and the investing funds. A Portfolio may rely on these exemptive orders in investing in ETFs. A Portfolio that invests in other investment companies indirectly bears the fees and expenses of that investment company.

Temporary Defensive Investments. For temporary defensive purposes, each Portfolio (except the Portfolios that seek to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of a particular securities market index) may invest without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements. To the extent a Portfolio is invested in these instruments, the Portfolio will not be pursuing its investment goal. In addition, each PLUS Portfolio may deviate from its asset allocation targets and target investment percentages for defensive purposes.

Risks.

Risk is the chance that you will lose money on your investment or that it will not earn as much as you expect. In general, the greater the risk, the more money your investment can earn for you and the more you can lose. Like other investment companies, the value of each Portfolio’s shares may be affected by its investment objective, principal investment strategies and particular risk factors. Consequently, each Portfolio may be subject to different principal risks. Some of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolios are noted below. However, other factors may also affect each Portfolio’s net asset value. There is no guarantee that a Portfolio will achieve its investment objective or that it will not lose principal value.

General Investment Risks: Each Portfolio is subject to the following risks:

Adviser Selection Risk: The risk that the Manager’s process for selecting or replacing an Adviser and its decision to select or replace an Adviser does not produce the intended results.

Asset Class Risk: There is the risk that the returns from the types of securities in which a Portfolio invests will underperform the general securities markets or different asset classes. Different types of securities and asset classes tend to go through cycles of outperformance and underperformance in comparison to the general securities markets.

Issuer-Specific Risk: The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the market as a whole.

Market Risk: The risk that the securities markets will move down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably based on overall economic conditions and other factors.

Multiple Adviser Risk: A Portfolio may have multiple Advisers, each of which is responsible for investing a specific allocated portion of the Portfolio’s assets. Because each Adviser manages its allocated portion of the Portfolio independently from another Adviser, the same security may be held in different portions of the Portfolio, or may be acquired for one portion of the Portfolio at a time when an Adviser to

 

B-3


another portion deems it appropriate to dispose of the security from that other portion. Similarly, under some market conditions, one Adviser may believe that temporary, defensive investments in short-term instruments or cash are appropriate when another Adviser believes continued exposure to the equity or debt markets is appropriate for its allocated portion of the Portfolio. Because each Adviser directs the trading for its own portion of the Portfolio, and does not aggregate its transactions with those of the other Adviser, the Portfolio may incur higher brokerage costs than would be the case if a single Adviser were managing the entire Portfolio. In addition, while the Manager seeks to allocate a Portfolio’s assets among the Portfolio’s Advisers in a manner that it believes is consistent with achieving the Portfolio’s investment objective, the Manager may be subject to potential conflicts of interest in allocating the Portfolio’s assets among Advisers because the Manager pays different fees to the Advisers and due to other factors that could impact the Manager’s revenues and profits.

Portfolio Management Risk: The risk that strategies used by the Manager or the Advisers and their securities selections fail to produce the intended results. In addition, the Manager may be subject to potential conflicts of interest in connection with providing advice to a Portfolio with respect to the allocation of assets between passively and actively managed portions of a Portfolio and the development and implementation of the models used tomanage a Portfolio to the extent that such advice may impact its obligations with respect to any death benefit, income benefit or other guarantees that it and its affiliates may provide through Contracts that offer the Portfolio as an investment option. Consistent with its fiduciary duties, the Manager seeks to implement each Portfolio’s investment program in a manner that is in the best interests of the Portfolio and that is consistent with the Portfolio’s investment objective, policies and strategies described in detail in this Prospectus.

Securities Lending Risk: A Portfolio that lends securities is subject to the risk that the loaned securities will not be available to the portfolio on a timely basis and, therefore, that the Portfolio may lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable time and price. There is also the risk that the Portfolio will not receive (or will experience delays in receiving) additional collateral or the loaned securities when due, which could result in a loss to the portfolio. If the borrower fails financially, it is also possible that the portfolio could lose its right to the collateral it holds. In addition, the Portfolio bears the risk of a decline in the value of the collateral held by a Portfolio in connection with a securities loan.

Securities Selection Risk: The securities selected for a Portfolio may not perform as well as other securities that were not selected for a Portfolio. As a result, a Portfolio may underperform other funds with the same objective or in the same asset class.

As indicated in each Proposal’s “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors,” a particular Portfolio may be subject to the following as principal risks. In addition, to the extent a Portfolio invests in a particular type of investment, it will be subject to the risks of such investment as described below:

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value depends upon, or is derived from, the value of something else, such as one or more underlying investments, indexes or currencies. Derivatives include options, swaps, futures, options on futures, forward contracts and structured securities. Investing in derivatives involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary mutual fund securities transactions. A Portfolio’s investment in derivatives may rise or fall more rapidly than other investments. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and a Portfolio could lose more than the principal amount invested. Derivatives also may be subject to a number of risks such as leverage risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation. The use of derivatives may increase the volatility of a Portfolio’s net asset value. Derivatives may be leveraged such that a small investment in derivative securities can have a significant impact on a Portfolio’s exposure to stock market values, interest rates, currency exchange rates or other investments. As a result, a relatively small price movement in a derivatives contract may cause an immediate and substantial loss or gain. Derivatives may be illiquid in that a Portfolio may not be able to sell or otherwise close a derivative position when desired. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of a Portfolio to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Portfolio to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Portfolio to value accurately. Over-the-counter derivatives often do not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the

 

B-4


transaction, and because they are not traded on exchanges, they do not offer the protections provided by exchanges in the event that the counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation. Over-the-counter derivatives therefore involve greater counterparty and credit risk and may be more difficult to value than exchange-traded derivatives.

Equity Risk. In general, stocks and other equity security values fluctuate and sometimes widely fluctuate, in response to changes in a

Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) Risk. When a Portfolio invests in ETFs, it will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the ETFs, in addition to the Portfolio’s direct fees and expenses. Therefore, the cost of investing in the Portfolio may be higher than the cost of investing in mutual funds that invest directly in individual stocks and bonds. In addition, when a Portfolio invests in an ETF, it is subject to the risks associated with the underlying securities in which that ETF invests. ETFs also may change their investment objectives or policies without the approval of the Portfolio. If that were to occur, the Portfolio might be forced to withdraw its investment from the ETF at a time and price that is unfavorable to the Portfolio. Most ETFs are not actively managed. An ETF invests in the securities included in, or representative of, its underlying index regardless of their investment merit or market trends. It is possible for an ETF to miss out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in less profitable investments. In addition, ETFs do not change their investment strategies to respond to changes in the economy. This means that an ETF may be particularly susceptible to a general decline in the market segment relating to the underlying index. Imperfect correlation between an ETF’s securities and those in the index it seeks to track, rounding of prices, changes to the indices and regulatory policies may cause an ETF’s performance to not match the performance of its index. No ETF fully replicates its index and may hold securities not included in the index. Therefore, there is a risk that the investment strategy of the ETF manager may not produce the intended results. Moreover, there is the risk that an ETF may value certain securities at a higher price than it can sell them for. Secondary market trading in shares of ETFs may be halted by a national securities exchange because of market conditions or for other reasons. In addition, trading in these shares is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to “circuit breaker” rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements necessary to maintain the listing of the shares will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. In addition, although ETFs are listed for trading on national securities exchanges and certain foreign exchanges, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will develop or be maintained. The market price of an ETF may be different from the net asset value of such ETF (i.e., an ETF may trade at a discount or premium to its net asset value). The performance of a Portfolio that invests in such an ETF could be adversely impacted.

Focused Portfolio Risk. A Portfolio that employs a strategy of investing in the securities of a limited number of companies may incur more risk because changes in the value of a single security may have a more significant effect, either positive or negative, on the Portfolio’s net asset value.

Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign securities, including depositary receipts, involve risks not associated with investing in U.S. securities. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, may be less liquid, more volatile and subject to less government supervision than domestic markets. Security values also may be negatively affected by changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Differences between U.S. and foreign legal, political and economic systems, regulatory regimes and market practices also may impact security values and it may take more time to clear and settle trades involving foreign securities.

Currency Risk: Investments in foreign currencies and in securities that trade in, or receive revenues in, foreign currencies are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Any such decline may erode or reverse any potential gains from an investment in securities denominated in foreign currency or may widen existing loss. Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention by governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad.

Depositary Receipts Risk: Investments in depositary receipts (including American Depositary Receipts, European Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts) are generally subject to the same risks of investing in the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted. In addition,

 

B-5


issuers underlying unsponsored depositary receipts may not provide as much information as U.S. issuers and issuers underlying sponsored depositary receipts. Unsponsored depositary receipts also may not carry the same voting privileges as sponsored depositary receipts.

Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging market countries generally are located in Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central and South America and Africa. There are greater risks involved in investing in emerging market countries and/or their securities markets. Investments in these countries and/or markets may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political, technical and other risks different from, or greater than, the risks of investing in developed countries. For instance, these countries may be more likely than developed countries to experience rapid and significant developments in their political or economic structures. Some emerging market countries restrict foreign investments, impose withholding or other taxes on foreign investments, or may nationalize or expropriate the assets of private countries. Therefore, a Portfolio may be limited in its ability to make direct or additional investments in an emerging markets country. Such restrictions also may have negative impacts on transaction costs, market price, investment returns and the legal rights and remedies of a Portfolio. In addition, the securities markets of emerging markets countries generally are smaller, less liquid and more volatile than those of developed countries. Emerging market countries often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and less reliable settlement, registration and custodial procedures. Emerging market countries also may be subject to high inflation and rapid currency devaluations and may be heavily dependent on international trade, which can materially affect their securities markets. The risks associated with investing in a narrowly defined geographic area also generally are more pronounced with respect to investments in emerging market countries.

Geographic Risk: The economies and financial markets of certain regions, such as Latin America and Asia, can be highly interdependent and may decline all at the same time. In addition, certain markets are prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, droughts or tsunamis and are economically sensitive to environmental events.

Political/Economic Risk: Changes in economic and tax policies, government instability, war or other political or economic actions or factors may have an adverse effect on a Portfolio’s foreign investments.

Regulatory Risk: Less information may be available about foreign companies. In general, foreign companies are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or to other regulatory practices and requirements as are U.S. companies.

Settlement Risk: Settlement and clearance procedures in certain foreign markets differ significantly from those in the United States. Foreign settlement and clearance procedures and trade regulations also may involve certain risks (such as delays in payment for or delivery of securities) not typically associated with the settlement of U.S. investments. At times, settlements in certain foreign countries have not kept pace with the number of securities transactions. These problems may make it difficult for a Portfolio to carry out transactions. If a Portfolio cannot settle or is delayed in settling a purchase of securities, it may miss attractive investment opportunities and certain of its assets may be uninvested with no return earned thereon for some period. If a Portfolio cannot settle or is delayed in settling a sale of securities, it may lose money if the value of the security then declines or, if it has contracted to sell the security to another party, the Portfolio could be liable for any losses incurred.

Transaction Costs Risk: The costs of buying and selling foreign securities, including tax, brokerage and custody costs, generally are higher than those involving domestic transactions.

Index Strategy Risk: A Portfolio that employs an index strategy generally invests in the securities included in the relevant index or a representative sample of such securities regardless of market trends to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, whereas actively managed portfolios typically seek to outperform a benchmark index. Such a portfolio generally will not modify its index strategy to respond to changes in the economy, which means that it may be particularly susceptible to a general decline in the market segment relating to the relevant index. In addition, although the index strategy attempts to closely track its benchmark index, the Portfolio may not invest in all of the securities in the index. Also, the Portfolio’s fees and expenses will reduce the Portfolio’s returns,

unlike those of the benchmark index. Cash flow into and out of the Portfolio, portfolio transaction costs, changes in the securities that comprise the index, and the Portfolio’s valuation procedures also may affect the Portfolio’s performance. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the performance of the index strategy will match that of the benchmark index.

Investment Style Risk. An Adviser may use a particular style or set of styles, for example, growth, value, momentum or quantitative investing styles, to select investments. Those styles may be out of favor or may not produce the best results over short or longer time periods. They may also increase the volatility of the Portfolio’s share price.

Growth investing generally focuses on companies that, due to their strong earnings and revenue potential, offer above-average prospects for capital growth, with less emphasis on dividend income. Earnings predictability and confidence in earnings forecasts are an important part of the selection process. As a result, the price of growth stocks may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks. An Adviser using this approach generally seeks out companies experiencing some or all of the following: high sales growth, high unit growth, high or improving returns on assets and equity, and a strong balance sheet. Such an Adviser also prefers companies with a competitive advantage such as unique management, marketing or research and development. Growth investing is also subject to the risk that the stock price of one or more companies will fall or will fail to appreciate as anticipated by the Adviser, regardless of movements in the securities market. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than value stocks, so in a declining market, their prices may decrease more than value stocks in general.

Value investing attempts to identify strong companies selling at a discount from their perceived true worth. An Adviser using this approach generally selects stocks at prices that, in its view, are temporarily low relative to the company’s earnings, assets, cash flow and dividends. Value investing is subject to the risk that a stock’s intrinsic value may never be fully recognized or realized by the market, or its price may go down. In addition, there is the risk that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced. Value investing generally emphasizes companies that, considering their assets and earnings history, are attractively priced and may provide dividend income.

Large-Cap Company Risk. Larger more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Many larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Leveraging Risk. When a Portfolio leverages its holdings, the value of an investment in that Portfolio will be more volatile and all other risks will tend to be compounded. For example, a Portfolio may take on leveraging risk when it engages in derivatives transactions, invests in collateral from securities loans or borrows money.

Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Company Risk. A Portfolio’s investments in mid- and small-cap companies may involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established issuers because they generally are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments. Such companies generally have narrower product lines, more limited financial resources and more limited markets for their stock as compared with larger companies. As a result, the value of such securities may be more volatile than the securities of larger companies, and the portfolio may experience difficulty in purchasing or selling such securities at the desired time and price. In general, these risks are greater for small-capitalization companies than for mid-capitalization companies.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. High portfolio turnover (generally, turnover in excess of 100% in any given fiscal year) may result in increased transaction costs to a Portfolio, which may result in higher fund expenses and lower total return.

Acquisition of the assets and assumption of the liabilities of:

  

By and in exchange for shares of:

EQ/Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio    EQ/Large Cap Growth PLUS Portfolio
EQ/Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio    EQ/Large Cap Value Index Portfolio

The Acquired and Acquiring Portfolios are series of EQ Advisors Trust (the “Trust”).

This Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”) relates specifically to the proposed reorganization of each Acquired Portfolio into the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio under which the Acquiring Portfolio would acquire all of the assets of the Acquired Portfolio in exchange solely for shares of the Acquiring Portfolio and that Acquiring Portfolio’s assumption of all of the corresponding Acquired Portfolio’s liabilities (the “Reorganizations”). This SAI is available to owners of and participants in variable life insurance contracts and variable annuity contracts and certificates (the “Contracts”) with amounts allocated to an Acquired Portfolio and to other shareholders of the Acquired Portfolios as of January 31, 2011.

This SAI consists of the cover page, the information set forth below and the following described documents, each of which is incorporated by reference herein and accompanies this SAI:

(1) The combined Statement of Additional Information of the Trust dated May 1, 2010, as supplemented, with respect to the Acquiring Portfolios (File Nos. 333-17217 and 811-07953); and

(2) The Annual Report to Shareholders of the Trust with respect to the Acquiring and Acquired Portfolios for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (File Nos. 333-17217 and 811-07953); and

(3) The Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders of the Trust with respect to the Acquiring and Acquired Portfolios for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2010 (File Nos. 333-17217 and 811-07953).

The Trust’s SAI that is incorporated by reference above includes information about the Trust’s other portfolios that is not relevant to the Reorganizations. Please disregard that information.


This SAI is not a prospectus. A Combined Proxy Statement and Prospectus dated             , 20     relating to the Reorganizations (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) may be obtained, without charge, by writing to the Trust at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10104 or calling (877) 222-2144. This SAI should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.


PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following tables set forth the pro forma Portfolio of Investments as of June 30, 2010, the pro forma condensed Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2010, and the pro forma condensed Statement of Operations for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2010 for the Acquired Portfolios and the Acquiring Portfolios, as adjusted giving effect to the Reorganizations.

The pro forma Portfolio of Investments contains information about the securities holdings of the combined Portfolios as of June 30, 2010, which has, and will continue to, change over time due to normal portfolio turnover in response to changes in market conditions. Thus, it is expected that some of an Acquired Portfolio’s holdings may not remain at the time of the Reorganizations. It is also expected that, if a Reorganization is approved, AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (the “Manager”) will liquidate an Acquired Portfolio’s holdings that, based on market conditions and an assessment by the Manager and the investment advisers to the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio, are not compatible with the Acquiring Portfolio’s current portfolio composition, investment objective and policies, or investment strategies. The proceeds of such liquidation will be held in temporary investments or reinvested in assets that are consistent with the Acquiring Portfolio’s investment objective, policies and strategies. Although any sale of portfolio investments in connection with a Reorganization will be conducted in an orderly manner, the need for a Portfolio to sell investments may result in its selling securities at a disadvantageous time and price and could result in the Portfolio realizing gains (or losses) that otherwise would not have been realized and incurring transaction costs that otherwise would not have been incurred.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2010:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED - As of June 30, 2010)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF COMBINATION:

On December 7-8, 2010 the Board of Trustees of EQ Advisors Trust (the “Trust”) approved a proposed Plan of Reorganization and Termination (“Reorganization Plan”) that provides for the transfer of all of the assets of the EQ/Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio (“Cap Guardian Portfolio”) to the EQ/Large Cap Growth PLUS Portfolio (“LC Growth PLUS Portfolio”), each a series of the Trust, and the assumption by the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio of all of the liabilities of the Cap Guardian Portfolio in exchange for shares of the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio having an aggregate value equal to the net assets of the Cap Guardian Portfolio, the distribution of the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio shares to the Cap Guardian Portfolio shareholders of record determined immediately after the close of business on the closing date, and the subsequent liquidation of the Cap Guardian Portfolio.

The Cap Guardian Portfolio’s annual contractual management fee equals 0.650% of average daily net assets for the first $1 billion, 0.600% of average daily net assets for the next $1 billion, 0.575% for the next $3 billion, 0.550% for the next $5 billion, and 0.525% of average daily net assets thereafter. The LC Growth PLUS Portfolio’s annual contractual management fee rate equals 0.500% of average daily net assets for the first $2 billion, 0.450% of average daily net assets for the next $1 billion, 0.425% of average daily net assets for the next $3 billion, 0.400% of average daily net assets for the next $5 billion, and 0.375% of average daily net assets thereafter. The Reorganization Plan is subject to the approval of the Cap Guardian Portfolio’s shareholders. A special meeting of shareholders of the Cap Guardian Portfolio will be held on or about April 20, 2011.

The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization of investment companies. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for the information of the reader and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined financial statements would have been had the Reorganization occurred at June 30, 2010. The unaudited pro forma portfolio of investments and statement of assets and liabilities reflect the financial position of the Cap Guardian Portfolio and the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio at June 30, 2010. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations reflects the results of operations of the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio as if it had acquired the Cap Guardian Portfolio at the beginning of the 12 month period ended June 30, 2010. These statements have been derived from the Portfolios’ respective books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at the dates indicated above for each Portfolio under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and results of operations of the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio for pre-combination periods will not be restated.

The unaudited pro forma portfolio of investments and statements of assets and liabilities and operations should be read in conjunction with the historical financial

statements of the Portfolios included in the Trust’s Statement of Additional Information. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Following the Reorganization, the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio is the “accounting survivor.” The general criteria that are applied to determine the proper accounting survivor are outlined in the “AICPA Accounting and Audit Guide for Investment Companies.” The legal survivor normally is considered the accounting survivor of a reorganization. In this case, the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio is the legal survivor. Other criteria include:

 

a.) Portfolio Management – The merged entity will be managed by the Manager, Adviser and portfolio managers to the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio in a manner consistent with the current management style.

 

b.) Portfolio Composition – The merged entity’s portfolio holdings are expected to be consistent with the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio’s current investment strategies and will more closely resemble the current portfolio holdings of the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio than those of the Cap Guardian Portfolio.

 

c.) Investment Objective, Policies and Restrictions – The merged entity’s investment objective, policies and fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions will be the same as the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio’s current investment objective, policies and fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions.

 

d.) Expense Structure and Expense Ratios – The merged entity’s expense structure will be the same as that of LC Growth PLUS Portfolio. The expense ratio of the merged entity will be the same as that of the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio and the Cap Guardian Portfolio.

 

e.) Asset Size – The LC Growth PLUS Portfolio is significantly larger than the Cap Guardian Portfolio.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Each of the Portfolios has substantially the same significant accounting policies, which are detailed in the historical financial statements referenced above in Note 1.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 – SHARES:

The unaudited pro forma net asset value per share assumes additional common shares of beneficial interest issued in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Cap Guardian Portfolio by the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio as of June 30, 2010. The number of additional shares issued was calculated based on the net assets of the Cap Guardian Portfolio and net asset value of the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio at June 30, 2010.

NOTE 4 – UNAUDITED PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect changes in the LC Growth PLUS Portfolio’s shares as if the merger had taken place on June 30, 2010. The Cap Guardian Portfolio will bear the expenses of the Reorganization (i.e., the costs associated with preparing, printing and distributing the prospectus and proxy materials, legal and accounting fees in connection with the Reorganization, and expenses of holding the shareholders meeting) up to $64,000 and AXA Equitable will bear the remaining expenses, which are estimated at approximately $222,000.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2010:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security , but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED - As of June 30, 2010)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF COMBINATION:

On December 7-8, 2010 the Board of Trustees of EQ Advisors Trust (the “Trust”) approved a proposed Plan of Reorganization and Termination (“Reorganization Plan”) that provides for the transfer of all of the assets of the EQ/Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio (“Growth and Income Portfolio”) to the EQ/Large Cap Value Index Portfolio (“LC Value Index Portfolio”), each a series of the Trust, and the assumption by the LC Value Index Portfolio of all of the liabilities of the Growth and Income Portfolio in exchange for shares of the LC Value Index Portfolio having an aggregate value equal to the net assets of the Growth and Income Portfolio, the distribution of the LC Value Index Portfolio shares to the Growth and Income Portfolio shareholders of record determined immediately after the close of business on the closing date, and the subsequent liquidation of the Growth and Income Portfolio.

The Growth and Income Portfolio’s annual contractual management fee equals 0.650% of average daily net assets for the first $1 billion, 0.600% of average daily net assets for the next $1 billion, 0.575% for the next $3 billion, 0.550% for the next $5 billion, and 0.525% of average daily net assets thereafter. The LC Value Index Portfolio’s annual contractual management fee rate equals 0.35% of average daily net assets. The Reorganization Plan is subject to the approval of the Growth and Income Portfolio’s shareholders. A special meeting of shareholders of the Growth and Income Portfolio will be held on or about April 20, 2011.

The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization of investment companies. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for the information of the reader and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined financial statements would have been had the Reorganization occurred at June 30, 2010. The unaudited pro forma portfolio of investments and statement of assets and liabilities reflect the financial position of the Growth and Income Portfolio and the LC Value Index Portfolio at June 30, 2010. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations reflects the results of operations of the LC Value Index Portfolio as if it had acquired the Growth and Income Portfolio at the beginning of the 12 month period ended June 30, 2010. These statements have been derived from the Portfolios’ respective books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at the dates indicated above for each Portfolio under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and results of operations of the LC Value Index Portfolio for pre-combination periods will not be restated.

The unaudited pro forma portfolio of investments and statements of assets and liabilities and operations should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Portfolios included in the Trust’s Statement of Additional Information. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles


NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(UNAUDITED - As of June 30, 2010)

 

generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Following the Reorganization, the LC Value Index Portfolio will be the “accounting survivor.” The general criteria that are applied to determine the proper accounting survivor are outlined in the “AICPA Accounting and Audit Guide for Investment Companies.” The legal survivor normally is considered the accounting survivor of a reorganization. In this case, the LC Value Index Portfolio is the legal survivor. Other criteria include:

 

a.) Portfolio Management – The merged entity will be managed by the Manager, Adviser and portfolio managers to the LC Value Index Portfolio in a manner consistent with the current management style.

 

b.) Portfolio Composition – The merged entity’s investments are anticipated to be wholly composed of securities currently held by the LC Value Index Portfolio.

 

c.) Investment Objective, Policies and Restrictions – The merged entity’s investment objective, policies and fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions will be the same as the LC Value Index Portfolio’s current investment objective, policies and fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions.

 

d.) Expense Structure and Expense Ratios – The merged entity’s expense structure will be the same as that of the LC Value Index Portfolio. The expense ratio of the merged entity will closely resemble that of LC Value Index Portfolio and will be lower than that of the Growth and Income Portfolio.

 

e.) Asset Size – The asset sizes of the LC Value Index Portfolio and the Growth and Income Portfolio are comparable. Although the Growth and Income Portfolio is somewhat larger than the LC Value Index Portfolio, it will not be a dominant portion of the merged entity.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Each of the Portfolios has substantially the same significant accounting policies, which are detailed in the historical financial statements referenced above in Note 1.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 – SHARES:

The unaudited pro forma net asset value per share assumes additional common shares of beneficial interest issued in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Growth and Income Portfolio by the LC Value Index Portfolio as of June 30, 2010. The number of additional shares issued was calculated based on the net assets of the Growth and Income Portfolio and net asset value of the LC Value Index Portfolio at June 30, 2010.

NOTE 4 – UNAUDITED PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect changes in the LC Value Index Portfolio’s shares as if the merger had taken place on June 30, 2010. The Growth and Income Portfolio will bear the expenses of the Reorganization (i.e., the costs associated with preparing, printing and distributing the prospectus and proxy materials, legal and accounting fees in connection with the Reorganization, and expenses of holding the shareholders meeting) up to $36,000 and AXA Equitable will bear the remaining expenses, which are estimated at approximately $95,000.

Registrant’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (“Declaration of Trust”) and By-Laws.

Article VII, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust of EQ Advisors Trust (“Trust”) states, in relevant part, that a “Trustee, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable to any Person, other than the Trust or a Shareholder to the extent provided in this Article VII, for any act, omission or obligation of the Trust, of such Trustee or of any other Trustee. The Trustees shall not be responsible or liable in any event for any neglect or wrongdoing of any officer, agent, employee, Manager, or Principal Underwriter of the Trust. The Trust shall indemnify each Person who is serving or has served at the Trust’s request as a director, officer, trustee, employee, or agent of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a shareholder, creditor, or otherwise to the extent and in the manner provided in the By-Laws.” Article VII, Section 4 of the Trust’s Declaration of Trust further states, in relevant part, that the “Trustees shall be entitled and empowered to the fullest extent permitted by law to purchase with Trust assets insurance for liability and for all expenses reasonably incurred or paid or expected to be paid by a Trustee, officer, employee, or agent of the Trust in connection with any claim, action, suit, or proceeding in which he or she may become involved by virtue of his or her capacity or former capacity as a Trustee of the Trust.”

Article VI, Section 2 of the Trust’s By-Laws states, in relevant part, that “[s]ubject to the exceptions and limitations contained in Section 3 of this Article VI, every [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] shall be indemnified by the Trust to the fullest extent permitted by law against all liabilities and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him or her in connection with any proceeding in which he or she becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his or her being or having been an agent.” Article VI, Section 3 of the Trust’s By-Laws further states, in relevant part, that “[n]o indemnification shall be provided hereunder to [a Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust]: (a) who shall have been adjudicated, by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought, to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office (collectively, “disabling conduct”); or (b) with respect to any proceeding disposed of (whether by settlement, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought that such [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] was liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of disabling conduct, unless there has been a determination that such [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] did not engage in disabling conduct: (i) by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought; (ii) by at least a majority of those Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor are parties to the proceeding based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry); or (iii) by written opinion of independent legal counsel based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry); provided, however, that indemnification shall be provided hereunder to [a Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] with respect to any proceeding in the event of (1) a final decision on the merits by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought that the [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] was not liable by reason of disabling conduct, or (2) the dismissal of the proceeding by the court or other body before which it was brought for insufficiency of evidence of any disabling conduct with which such [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] has been charged.” Article VI, Section 4 of the Trust’s By-Laws also states that the “rights of indemnification herein provided (i) may be insured against by policies maintained by the Trust on behalf of any [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust], (ii) shall be severable, (iii) shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] may now or hereafter be entitled and (iv) shall inure to the benefit of [such party’s] heirs, executors and administrators.”

Item 17. Undertakings

 

(1) The undersigned Registrant agrees that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered through the use of a prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), the reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form for reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

 

(2) The undersigned Registrant agrees that every prospectus that is filed under paragraph (1) above will be filed as a part of an amendment to the Registration Statement and will not be used until the amendment is effective, and that, in determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement for the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering of them.

 

(3) The Registrant agrees to file an executed copy of the opinion of counsel supporting the tax consequences of the proposed reorganization as an amendment to this Registration Statement within a reasonable time after receipt of such opinion.
