The award vests, subject to various agreements and restrictive covenants set forth in the applicable award agreement, in equal annual increments on each of December 1, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The price set forth in the table is the closing price of an AB Holding Unit on December 12, 2014.</footnote>
