AllianceBernstein Announces May 31, 2012 Assets Under Management
 
New York, NY, June 12, 2012 – AllianceBernstein L.P. and AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (NYSE: AB) today announced that preliminary assets under management decreased to $400 billion from $418 billion during May 2012. The 4% decline was due to negative investment returns, including the impact of foreign exchange movements, and modest net outflows in Institutions and Private Client, partially offset by Retail net inflows.
