As of February 28, 2007, the Mutuelles AXA, as a group, directly and indirectly owned approximately 14.26% of the issued ordinary shares (representing approximately 20.66% of the voting power) of AXA.

AXA has deposited its shares of Common Stock into a voting trust. AXA will remain the indirect beneficial owner of such Common Stock, but during the term of the voting trust, the AXA Voting Trustees will exercise all voting rights wth respect to the Common Stock. Accordingly, the AXA Voting Trustees may be deemed to beneficially own the securities covered by this Form 4.

In addition to the units ("Holding Units") representing assignments of beneficial ownership of limited partnership interests in AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. ("Holding") reported in this Form 4, the Reporting Persons beneficially own units ("AB Units") of limited partnership interest in AllianceBernstein L.P. ("AllianceBernstein") as follows.

AXA Financial has purchased 1,100 AB Units from two unaffiliated third parties. The purchase price for each of the AB Units whose acquisition is being reported on this Form 4 is $83.13 per AB Unit, which was the closing price for a Holding Unit as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange on September 5, 2007. For more information on the Reporting Persons' holdings of AB Units, see their separate Form 4 filings with respect to AB Units The AB Units are highly illiquid, and the ability of a holder of AB Units to exchange them in the future for Holding Units if it so desires is substantially limited. In general, transfers of AB Units will be allowed only with the written consent of both AXA Equitable and the general partner of AllianceBernstein. AXA Equitable and the general partner of AllianceBernstein have stated that they intend to refuse to consent to any transfer that is not described in the safe harbors set forth in the United States Treasury regulations.
