Cost Cutting Measures • Lower AUMs and related reductions to revenue require an adjustment to our expense base. Expense reduction plan calls for a $40 million reduction to the current run-rate of our fixed operating expenses over the next 12-18 months Expense reduction represents approximately 10% of our fixed operating expense today. Reductions will be realized in general and administrative expenses and in field structure and support; selective incentive compensation adjustments; a hiring freeze other than for strategic hires; and will include selective workforce reductions. Our goal is to realize two-thirds of impact of the $40 million reduction in 2016, or $0.20 per share. • • • • 4
