(1) Each holder of a Class B Unit of Pzena Investment Management, LLC (the "Operating Company") is also issued one share of Pzena Investment Management, Inc.'s (the "Issuer") Class B common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, in exchange for the par value thereof. Holders of Class B common stock are not entitled to participate in any dividends or other distributions made by the Issuer to holders of its capital stock, except for the right to receive the par value thereof upon the Issuer's liquidation or dissolution.
