Explanation of Responses:
(1) Holders of Class B-1 Units of Pzena Investment Management, LLC (the "Operating Company" are eligible to receive dividends with respect to such Class B-1 Units following the grant of such Class B-1 Units, but such Class B-1 Units are not exchangeable into Class A common stock of Pzena Investment Management, Inc. (the "Issuer") until one or more exchange dates to be determined by the Operating Company, which exchange dates shall be after such Reporting Person's employment with the Operating Company ends. The number of shares of Class A common stock issued in the exchange will be calculated based upon the appreciation in the price of the Class A common stock of the Issuer as of the date of exchange compared to the price of the Class A common stock of the Issuer as of the date of grant as described in the Exchange Rights of Class B-1 Members set forth in Exhibit D to the Amended and Restated LLC Operating Agreement of the Operating Company.
(2) Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership ("LPA") of Pzena Investment Management, LP ("PIM LP"), dated as December 30, 2019, the Reporting Person, a limited partner of PIM LP has contributed to PIM LP his holdings of (i) Class B Units and Class B-1 Units of the Operating Company and (ii) Class B Shares of the Issuer in order to receive a corresponding number of limited partnership interests in PIM LP. Pursuant to the LPA, whenever a Class B Unit or Class B-1 Unit is issued to the Reporting Person, the Reporting Person will be deemed to immediately and automatically contribute such Class B Unit and related Class B Share or such Class B-1 Unit, to PIM LP and PIM LP will concurrently issue to him a corresponding limited partnership interest. Pursuant to the LPA, each limited partnership interest in PIM LP will be cancelled upon redemption by the Reporting Person for Class B Units and related Class B Shares or Class B-1 Units, as applicable subject to the terms.
(3) Issued in connection with the Reporting Person's mandatory deferral of his 2019 Restricted Amount pursuant to Section 5 of the Pzena Investment Management, LLC Amended and Restated Bonus, as amended (the "Bonus Plan").
(4) These Phantom Class B units vest, and become Delayed Exchange Class B Units of the Operating Company, in four equal annual installments and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Bonus Plan. When these Delayed Exchange Class B units vest they will have the right to receive dividend payments, however, they are not eligible for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Rights of Class B Members (Exhibit B to the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement) until seven years after the applicable vesting date, at which time they will be 100% exchangeable for shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock (subject to the timing set forth in the Exchange Rights Agreement). These Class B units do not carry any rights associated with the Issuer and Operating Company's Tax Receivable Agreement.
