AllianceBernstein Announces February 29, 2012 Assets Under Management
 
New York, NY, March 12, 2012 – AllianceBernstein L.P. and AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (NYSE: AB) today announced that preliminary assets under management increased to $424 billion from $421 billion during February 2012. The 1% increase was due to market appreciation and modest net inflows in Retail, partially offset by net outflows in Institutions and Private Client. More than half of the outflows in Institutions resulted from the previously announced dissolution of an AXA joint venture in Australia.
