<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Founded in 1994, we are an investment management firm that provides a broad range of U.S., <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT>
and global investment strategies, each of which is managed by one of our distinct and autonomous investment teams. Since our founding, we have pursued a business model that is designed to maximize our ability to produce attractive investment results
for our clients, and we believe this model has contributed to our success in doing so. We focus on attracting, retaining and developing talented investment professionals by creating an environment in which each investment team is provided ample
resources and support, transparent and direct financial incentives, and a high degree of investment autonomy. Each of our investment teams is led by one or more experienced portfolio managers and applies its own unique investment philosophy and
process. We believe this autonomous structure promotes independent analysis and accountability among our investment professionals, which we believe promotes superior investment results. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each of our investment strategies is designed to have a clearly articulated, consistent and replicable investment process that is
well-understood by clients and managed to achieve long-term performance. Throughout our history, we have expanded our investment management capabilities in a disciplined manner that we believe is consistent with our overall philosophy of offering
high value-added investment strategies in growing asset classes. We have expanded the range of strategies that we offer by launching new strategies managed by our existing investment teams as those teams have developed investment capacity, as well
as by launching new strategies managed by new investment teams recruited to join Artisan. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to our investment teams, we have a
management team that is focused on our business objectives of achieving profitable growth, expanding our investment capabilities, diversifying the source of our assets under management, delivering superior client service and developing our
investment teams into investment franchises with multiple decision-makers and investment strategies and maintaining the firm&#146;s fiduciary mindset and culture of compliance. Our management team supports our investment management capabilities and
manages a centralized infrastructure, which allows our investment professionals to focus primarily on making investment decisions and generating returns for our clients. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We offer our investment management capabilities primarily to institutions and through intermediaries that operate with institutional-like
decision-making processes by means of separate accounts and pooled vehicles. We serve as the investment adviser to Artisan Funds, Artisan Global Funds, and Artisan Private Funds. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We derive essentially all of our revenues from investment management fees, which primarily are based on a specified percentage of
clients&#146; average assets under management. These fees are determined by investment advisory and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-advisory</FONT> agreements that are terminable by clients upon short notice or no notice. </P>

any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action, or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that with respect to an action brought by or in the right of the
corporation such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees). The Registrant&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation provides that it shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation, in its certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto, to
eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for violations of the directors&#146; fiduciary duty, except (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;pursuant to Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for
unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation provides for such
limitations on liability for its directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant currently maintains liability insurance for its directors and officers. Such
