Explanation of Responses:

1. On March 12, 2013, each holder of a Class A Common Unit of Artisan Partners Holdings LP received a number of shares of Class C Common Stock of Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (the "Company") equal to the number of Class A Common Units held by such person. Shares of Class C Common Stock do not have economic rights.

2. On September 14, 2020, the Reporting Person contributed 310,500 shares of Class C Common Stock and the same number of Class A Common Units from the Barger Revocable Trust to the Matthew Reed Barger 2020 Annuity Trust of which the Reporting Person is trustee and beneficiary.

3. The Reporting Person transferred 76,400 and 182,960 shares respectively of Class C Common Stock and the same number of Class A Common Units from the Matthew Reed Barger 2016 Annuity Trust (of which the Reporting Person is trustee and beneficiary) to the Barger Revocable Trust on June 1, 2020 and July 31, 2020, respectively.

4. Each Class A Common Unit of Artisan Partners Holdings LP became exchangeable for one share of Class A Common Stock of the Company upon effectiveness of the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Holdings and an Exchange Agreement among the Company and each holder of limited partnership units of Holdings (the "Exchange Agreement"), each of which became effective on the closing date of the Company's IPO. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, each holder of Class A Common Units will have the right, pursuant to and subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth in the Exchange Agreement, to exchange his, her or its Class A Common Units for an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. Upon any such exchange for Class A Common Stock, the corresponding shares of Class C Common Stock then owned by such holder will be cancelled. The Class A Common Units have no expiration date.
