Units 2004-02-20 4 J 0 8160000 37.828 D Holding Units 8160000 24480000 I See Footnote The units of limited partnership interest of Alliance Capital Management L.P. ("Units") are exchangeable for units representing assignments of limited partnership interests in Alliance Capital Management Holding L.P. ("Holding Units") upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the issuance of Holding Units must be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Alliance Capital Management Holding L.P. ("Holding") must have received any necessary representations, opinions or other documentation in connection with such issuance; (ii) the issuance of the Holding Units must be permissible under the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Holding dated as of October 29, 1999; (iii) The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States ("Equitable") must consent to the transfer of the Units to Holding (which AXA Financial, Inc. (cont. in footnote 2) ("AXA Financial"), Equitable's indirect parent, has agreed to cause Equitable to do); and (iv) SCB Inc. ("SCB") must provide an outside legal opinion, reasonably satisfactory to Alliance Capital Management L.P. ("Alliance"), stating that the exchange of Units for Holding Units constitutes a "block transfer" under applicable United States Treasury regulations. As of the date hereof, the status of the foregoing conditions and their ability to be satisfied at the time of any exchange is not certain. Prior to such exchange, SCB and SCB Partners Inc. ("Partners" and, together with SCB, the "Reporting Persons") are not entitled to any rights as a unit holder of Holding. In addition, the number of Holding Units into which the Units are exchangeable is subject to adjustment for anti-dilution. On February 20, 2004, Partners delivered an exercise notice to AXA Financial informing AXA Financial of Partners' intention to require AXA Financial (or its designee) to purchase 8,160,000 Units from Partners in accordance with the terms of a purchase agreement, dated as of June 20, 2000 (the "Purchase Agreement"), among AXA Financial, Alliance Capital Management L.P. and SCB. Such purchase was consummated on March 5, 2004. The purchase price of each Unit sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was determined by averaging the closing prices of a Holding Unit as quoted on the NYSE Composite Transaction Tape for the ten trading days ending on the fifth trading day following February 20, 2004. Partners may be deemed to own beneficially and directly 24,480,000 Units. Partners is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of SCB. SCB, through its ownership of Partners, may be deemed to own beneficially and indirectly 24,480,000 million Units following such purchase. SCB disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein. The Reporting Persons disclaim any beneficial ownership of the Holding Units that they are entitled to receive upon exchange of the Units because of the uncertainties described in footnotes 1 and 2. Upon such exchange, however, Partners would be deemed to own beneficially and directly any such Holding Units into which Units were exchanged. SCB would disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein. SCB INC., /s/ Gerald M.
