        <footnote id="F1">The number of Shares (as defined below) held by the Reporting person was also adjusted downward to account for an inadvertent underreporting of Shares withheld in connection with the February 2024 vesting event.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Each performance share unit (&quot;PSU&quot;), which was granted under the Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan and previously reported, represented a contingent right to receive a share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (&quot;Share&quot;). Each grant of PSUs was eligible to vest at up to 150%, subject to meeting the relevant performance conditions.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Performance under the PSUs was measured on 2/18/2025, based on performance over a period ending on 12/31/2024. Half of the earned PSUs were settled in Shares on 2/18/2025, and half will settle in Shares upon a qualifying retirement subject to continued service.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Half of the PSUs that were earned on 2/18/2025, each of which represents a contingent right to receive one Share, will be eligible to vest based on continued service through the date of a qualified retirement.</footnote>
