AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA Equitable”) serves as the Investment Manager and Administrator of the Trust and AXA Advisors, LLC and AXA Distributors, LLC serve as the Distributors for the Trust’s shares. Each is located at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10104. AXA Equitable, in its capacity as the Investment Manager of the Trust, has received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to permit it and the Trust’s Board of Trustees to select and replace investment sub-advisers for the Trust (“Advisers”) and to amend the advisory agreements between AXA Equitable and the Advisers without obtaining shareholder approval. Accordingly, AXA Equitable is able, subject to the approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, to appoint and replace Advisers and to amend advisory agreements without obtaining shareholder approval.

At regular meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Trust held on September 24, 2008 and December 11, 2008, respectively, and a special meeting of the Board of Trustees held on January 30, 2009, the Board of Trustees, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust, the Investment Manager, the Advisers or the Distributors (“Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the

1

Investment Manager’s proposals to (1) to replace TCW Investment Management Company (“TCW”) as an Adviser to an allocated portion of the Mid Cap Value Portfolio with Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC (“Tradewinds” or “New Adviser”) and (2) appoint SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSgA FM” or “New Adviser”) as an Adviser to one or more allocated portions of each Portfolio that are designed to achieve the performance returns of a specific index with minimal tracking error (each, an “Index Allocated Portion”). The Investment Manager’s proposal with respect to the appointment of Tradewinds was based on its evaluation of certain performance-related information at TCW and its proposal with respect to SSgA FM was based on a determination to alter the composition of each Portfolio to leverage the benefits of active and passive management while limiting the challenges that each approach faces. The other current Advisers of each Portfolio are listed below:

Factors Considered by the Board

In approving each new Investment Advisory Agreement (“Agreement”), the Board considered the overall fairness of the Agreement and whether the Agreement was in the best interest of the Portfolios. The Board further considered factors it deemed relevant with respect to each Portfolio, including, as applicable: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided to the Portfolio by the New Adviser(s) and its affiliates; (2) the performance of the New Adviser(s) and, where available, the performance of comparable accounts advised by the New Adviser(s) as compared to an appropriate benchmark or peer group; (3) the level of the management and proposed sub-advisory fees; (4) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; (5) the anticipated effect of growth and size on the Portfolio’s expenses; and (6) the “fall out” benefits to be realized by the New Adviser(s) and its affiliates (i.e., any direct or indirect benefits to be derived by the New Adviser(s) and its affiliates from their relationships with the Trust). In considering the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or information as all-important or controlling. In addition, in connection with its evaluation of the fees to be paid under each Agreement, the Board reviewed fee information for comparable accounts managed by the New Adviser, where available. In this connection, the Board determined that the Manager’s management fee and profitability with respect to each Portfolio and each Portfolio’s overall expense ratios generally were more significant to the Board’s evaluation of the fees and expenses of the Portfolios than the New Adviser’s costs and profitability. Based on these considerations and the information described below, the Board was satisfied, with respect to each New Adviser and each Portfolio, that (1) the Portfolio was reasonably likely to benefit from the nature, quality and extent of the New Adviser’s services, (2) the New Adviser’s compensation is fair and reasonable, (3) the New Adviser’s advisory fee schedule reflects economies of scale that may be realized as the New Adviser’s allocated portion(s) of the Portfolio grows, and (4) the historical performance of the New Adviser and, where applicable, the performance of the New Adviser’s comparable account(s) has been reasonable. Based on the foregoing, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved each Agreement. As a result of the Board of Trustees’ determination, Tradewinds became an Adviser of the Mid Cap Value Portfolio effective as of December 1, 2008 and SSgA FM became an Adviser to the Portfolios effective as of January 15, 2009. Please note, however, that with respect to the High Yield Portfolio, it is anticipated that SSgA FM will not begin to manage the Index Allocation Portions of the Portfolio until on or about May 1, 2009.

Information Regarding the Investment Advisory Agreements

Except as to effective date and compensation, the terms of the new Agreement between AXA Equitable and Tradewinds with respect to the Mid Cap Value Portfolio are substantially similar to those of the old investment advisory agreement between AXA Equitable and the prior Adviser.

Each new Agreement provides that it will remain in effect for its initial two-year term and thereafter only so long as the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, specifically approves its continuance at least annually. Each new Agreement can be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the respective portfolio, on sixty days’ written notice to AXA Equitable and the New Adviser, or by AXA Equitable or the New Adviser on sixty days’ written notice to the Trust and the other party. Each new Agreement also terminates automatically in the event of its assignment or in the event that the Investment Management Agreement between AXA Equitable and the Trust is terminated for any other reason.

Each new Agreement generally provides that the New Adviser will not be liable for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation incurred by AXA Equitable or the Trust as a result of any error of judgment or mistake of law by the New Adviser or its affiliates with respect to its respective portfolio, except that nothing in the Agreement limits the New Adviser’s or its affiliates liability for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation arising out of or based on (i) any willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard or gross negligence of the New Adviser in the performance of any of its duties or obligations or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact, or any omission thereof, in the Trust’s prospectus, statement of additional information, proxy materials, reports, advertisements, sales literature, or other materials pertaining to its respective portfolio, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished by the New Adviser or its affiliates to AXA Equitable or the Trust.

Under the old Investment Advisory Agreement between AXA Equitable and TCW with respect to the Mid Cap Value Portfolio, dated as of July 31, 2006, as amended, TCW received an advisory fee based on the assets of the Mid Cap Value Portfolio allocated to TCW (the “TCW Allocated Portion”) as follows: 0.55% of the TCW Allocated Portion’s average daily net assets up to and including $100 million; and 0.45% of the TCW Allocated Portion’s average daily net assets in excess of $100 million. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, TCW received $1,348,292.05 in advisory fees with respect to the Mid Cap Value Portfolio. The Board of Trustees most recently approved the old Investment Advisory Agreement between AXA Equitable and TCW with respect to the Mid Cap Value Portfolio on July 24, 2008.

Information Regarding the New Advisers

Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC

As one of the Advisers to the Mid Cap Value Portfolio, while seeking to achieve the portfolio’s investment objective of long-term capital growth in its allocated portion of the Mid Cap Value Portfolio (“Tradewinds Allocated Portion”), Tradewinds generally will invest in companies that it believes trade at attractive absolute valuations, offer good downside protection/risk-reward and possess strong franchise quality. Tradewinds’ investment process is distinguished by deep specialization, fundamental analysis and transparency and emphasizes a bottom-up, stock driven process. In so doing, Tradewinds seeks to identify companies with attributes including sustainable

4

competitive advantages, strong or improving fundamentals, renewed management focus, product leadership, industry consolidation, company restructuring, new management, excessive pessimism, misperceived balance sheets, and hidden assets not being correctly valued by the markets. The principal risks of investing in the Mid Cap Value Portfolio are listed in the Trust Prospectus under the heading “Principal Investment Risks.” These risks are discussed in more detail under the heading “More About Investment Strategies & Risks” in the Trust Prospectus.

David B. Iben, CFA will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Tradewinds Allocated Portion. Mr. Iben is Chief Investment Officer and Executive Managing Director of Tradewinds and joined Tradewinds in 2006 as an investment professional. Prior to joining Tradewinds, Mr. Iben was a portfolio manager at NWQ Investment Management Company, an affiliate of Tradewinds, from 2000 to 2006. He has more than 27 years of investment experience.

Tradewinds is a limited liability company whose sole business is investment management. Tradewinds’ primary office is located at 2049 Century Park East, 20th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90067. Tradewinds is a wholly owned subsidiary of NWQ Holdings LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”), which is located at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. In November 2007, Nuveen was acquired by investors led by Madison Dearborn Partners V-A&C, L.P., a private equity investment firm located at Three First National Plaza, Suite 4600, Chicago, Illinois 60602, and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., 4 World Financial Center, New York, New York 10080, which is owned by Bank of America Corporation, Bank of America Corporate Center, 100 N. Tryon St., Charlotte, NC 28255. Tradewinds’ directors and principal executive officers include: David Iben, Chief Investment Officer and Managing Director, Paul Hechmer, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, and Constance Lawton, Co-President and Executive Managing Director. The address of each of these individuals is 2049 Century Park East, 20th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90067. As of December 31, 2008, Tradewinds had approximately $20.6 billion in assets under management.

For its services to the Mid Cap Value Portfolio, Tradewinds receives an advisory fee based on the assets of the Mid Cap Value Portfolio allocated to Tradewinds (“Tradewinds Mid Cap Allocated Portion”) as follows: 0.55% of the Tradewinds Mid Cap Allocated Portion’s average daily net assets up to and including $200 million and 0.605% of the Tradewinds Mid Cap Allocated Portion’s average daily net assets over $200 million. It is expected that the Tradewinds Mid Cap Allocated Portion will not exceed $500 million. The new advisory fee represents a 15% decrease as compared to the fee under the old Investment Advisory Agreement. Had the new advisory fee been in effect during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, Tradewinds would have received $1,141,282.81 in advisory fees. AXA Equitable (and not the Mid Cap Value Portfolio) is responsible for the payment of advisory fees to Tradewinds. The management fee for the portfolio will not change as a result of appointing Tradewinds as an Adviser to the portfolio.

Tradewinds currently does not advise any other comparable funds subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SSgA Funds Management, Inc.

As one of the Advisers to the Portfolios, it is anticipated that SSgA FM, as Adviser to each Portfolio’s Index Allocated Portion(s), will seek to achieve for the Index Allocated Portion(s) of each Portfolio the total return before expenses that approximates the total return of the specific index(es) identified below opposite the name of the Portfolio:

5

Portfolio	Index
Aggressive Equity Portfolio	Russell 3000 Growth Index
Core Bond Portfolio	Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index
Health Care Portfolio	S&P North American Health Care Sector Index
High Yield Portfolio	Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index
International Equity Portfolio	Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index
Large Cap Core Equity Portfolio	S&P 500 Index
Large Cap Growth Portfolio	Russell 1000 Growth Index
Large Cap Value Portfolio	Russell 1000 Value Index
Mid Cap Growth Portfolio	Russell 2500 Growth Index
Mid Cap Value Portfolio	Russell 2500 Value Index
Small Cap Growth Portfolio	Russell 2000 Growth Index
Small Cap Value Portfolio	Russell 2000 Value Index
Technology Portfolio	S&P North American Technology Sector Index

With the exception of the High Yield Portfolio, the investment objective of each Portfolio will remain the same, and the investment policies of each Portfolio, as described in the Portfolios’ Prospectus, as supplemented, will remain the same. It is anticipated that on or about May 1, 2009, the High Yield Portfolio will convert to a multi-sector bond portfolio seeking exposure to the total bond market. It is also anticipated that on or about this date the name of the High Yield Portfolio will change in connection with this conversion to the “Multimanager Multi-Sector Bond Portfolio.” The Trust anticipates providing contractholders with additional information regarding the conversion of the High Yield Portfolio to a multi-sector bond portfolio in the near future.

With the exception of the Core Bond Portfolio and High Yield Portfolio, SSgA FM generally will utilize a passive, full replication investment style for the Index Allocated Portion of each Portfolio in which each Index Allocated Portion will own the same stock and sectors in approximately the same weights as each respective index identified above. Due to this passive investment style, SSgA FM will seek to achieve for the Index Allocated Portion of these Portfolios the total return (before expenses) that approximates the total return of the specific index identified above opposite the name of the Portfolio while maintaining as minimal tracking error as possible.

With respect to the Index Allocated Portion of the Core Bond Portfolio and one of the Index Allocated Portions of the High Yield Portfolio, SSgA FM will generally utilize a stratified sampling approach to seek to achieve for the Index Allocated Portion of the Portfolio the total return (before taxes) that approximates the total return of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, including reinvestment of coupon payments, at a risk level consistent with that of the index. In this connection, SSgA FM generally will invest in a well-diversified portfolio that is representative of the domestic investment grade bond market, including U.S. Treasury, agency, credit, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. Further, the Index Allocated Portion will be managed at all times duration neutral to the Index, and overall sector and quality weightings are closely

6

replicated to the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, with individual security selection based upon criteria generated by SSgA FM’s credit and research group, security availability, and SSgA FM’s analysis of the impact on the portfolio’s weightings.

With respect to the second Index Allocated Portion of the High Yield Portfolio, SSgA FM will generally utilize a stratified sampling approach to seek to achieve for the Index Allocated Portion of the Portfolio the total return (before taxes) that approximates the total return of the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, including reinvestment of coupon payments, at a risk level consistent with that of the index. In this connection, SSgA FM generally will invest in a well-diversified portfolio that attempts to replicate the characteristics of the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, including with respect to duration, issuer market weight, credit quality and industry. In seeking to replicate the broad high yield fixed income market, SSgA FM also attempts to control portfolio risk at both the index level and at the portfolio construction level by limiting exposure to any one particular issuer as well as limiting the exposure to the lower ranges of the high yield sector.

The principal risks of investing in the each Portfolio are listed in the Trust Prospectus, as supplemented, under the heading “Principal Investment Risks.” These risks are discussed in more detail under the heading “More About Investment Strategies & Risks” in the Trust Prospectus.

Portfolio managers Lynn Blake and John Tucker of SSgA FM’s Global Structured Products Team will jointly and primarily have responsibility for the day-today management of the Aggressive Equity Portfolio; Health Care Portfolio; International Equity Portfolio; Large Cap Core Equity Portfolio; Large Cap Growth Portfolio; Large Cap Value Portfolio; Mid Cap Growth Portfolio; Mid Cap Value Portfolio; Small Cap Growth Portfolio; Small Cap Value Portfolio and Technology Portfolio.

Portfolio managers John Kirby and Mike Brunell will jointly and primarily have responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Index Allocated Portion of the Core Bond Portfolio and one Index Allocated Portion of the High Yield Portfolio.
