Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements provided by management in this presentation are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The most significant of these factors include, but are not limited to, the
following: the performance of financial markets, the investment performance of sponsored investment products and separately-managed accounts, general
economic conditions, industry trends, future acquisitions, competitive conditions, and current and proposed government regulations, including changes in tax
regulations and rates and the manner in which the earnings of publicly-traded partnerships are taxed. AllianceBernstein cautions readers to carefully
consider such factors. Further, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made; AllianceBernstein undertakes
no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements. For further information regarding
these forward-looking statements and the factors that could cause actual results to differ, see “Risk Factors” and “Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements” in AllianceBernstein’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Any or all of the
forward-looking statements made in this presentation, Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, other documents AllianceBernstein files with or furnishes to the SEC, and any
other public statements issued by AllianceBernstein, may turn out to be wrong. It is important to remember that other factors besides those listed in “Risk
Factors” and “Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, and those listed below, could also adversely affect AllianceBernstein’s financial condition,
results of operations and business prospects.
 
The forward-looking statements referred to in the preceding paragraph include statements regarding:
 
<The pipeline of new institutional mandates not yet funded: Before they are funded, institutional mandates do not represent legally binding
commitments to fund and, accordingly, the possibility exists that not all mandates will be funded in the amounts and at the times currently anticipated.
 
<The degree to which the $89.6 million real estate charge we recorded during the third quarter of 2010 will reduce occupancy costs on existing
real estate in 2011 and subsequent years:
The charge we recorded during the third quarter of 2010 and our estimates of reduced occupancy costs in
future years are based on existing sub-leases, as well as our current assumptions of when we can sub-lease the remaining space and current market rental
rates, which are factors largely beyond our control. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, we may be forced to take an additional charge and/or our
estimated occupancy cost reductions may be less than we currently anticipate.
 
<Our intention to continue to engage in open market purchases of Holding Units, from time to time, to help fund anticipated obligations under
our incentive compensation award program: 
The number of Holding Units needed in future periods to make incentive compensation awards is
dependent upon various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including fluctuation in the price of a Holding Unit.
 
<Our confidence that we will deliver consistent, long-term value to all of our stakeholders: Changes and volatility in political, economic, capital
market or industry conditions can result in changes in demand for our products and services or impact the value of our assets under management, all of
which may significantly hinder our ability to execute on our strategy.
