Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reporting Person herein states that this filing shall not be deemed an admission that he or it is the beneficial owner of any such interests, and disclaims beneficial ownership of such interests, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest in such interests.
(2) Represents units of Pzena LLC that were reclassified as "Class B Units" of Pzena LLC on a one-for-one basis in connection with the amendment and restatement of Pzena LLC's operating agreement as of October 30, 2007 ("the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement"), among Pzena Inc., as the Managing Member of Pzena LLC and the holder of certain units of Pzena LLC, and the holders of such reclassified units of Pzena LLC. Pursuant to the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement, each Class B Unit is exchangeable for a share of Class A common stock of Pzena Inc., subject to the timing and volume limitations set forth in the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement.
(3) Pursuant to the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement, no Class B Units are exchangeable before Pzena Inc. has filed, and the Securities and Exchange Commmission ("SEC") has declared effective, a registration statement on Form S-3 for the resale of shares of Class A common stock that are issuable upon exchange of Class B Units. Pursuant to the Resale and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2007, among Pzena Inc. and the holders of Class B Units, Pzena Inc. has agreed to use its best efforts to file, and have the SEC declare effective, such a Form S-3 registration statement as soon as practicable after Pzena Inc. becomes eligible to use Form S-3.
(4) On and after the effective date of such Form S-3 registration statement (the "First Effective Date"), Pzena Inc. will, pursuant to the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement, establish one or more dates (each, an "Exchange Date") in each 12-month period following the First Effective Date (each, an "Annual Period") on which holders of Class B Units may exchange a number of vested Class B Units that equals a certain percentage of the vested and unvested Class B Units held by them as of the first day of the applicable Annual Period; provided that if Pzena Inc. does not establish at least one Exchange Date in each Annual Period, the Exchange Date for such Annual Period will be the last business day of the Annual Period.
(5) Pursuant to the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement, in each Annual Period from the First Effective Date until the date that the Reporting Person's employment with Pzena Inc. and Pzena LLC has been terminated (the "Employment Termination Date"), the Reporting Person and his Permitted Transferees (as defined in the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement),
(6) which currently includes the trusts reported on this Form 4 as having acquired 625,500 Class B Units on October 30, 2007 (the "Reporting Person Group"), will be entitled to exchange a number of vested Class B Units which is equal to 15% of the number of vested and unvested Class B Units held by the Reporting Person Group as of the first day of each such Annual period on the applicable Exchange Date(s). From the day following the Employment Termination Date until three years thereafter, the Reporting Person Group will not be permitted to exchange any Class B Units. Thereafter, the Reporting Person Group will be entitled to exchange any and all of their vested Class B Units on any applicable Exchange Date.
(7) On December 31, 2008, the Compensation Committee of Pzena Inc., granted the Reporting Person the right to acquire Class B Units of Pzena LLC for $4.22 per unit until December 31, 2018, subject to earlier expiration upon the occurence of certain events. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Pzena Inc., when Pzena LLC issues a Class B Unit to a new or existing member of Pzena LLC, Pzena Inc. will concurrently issue one share of its Class B common stock to the holder of such Class B Unit in exchange for the par value thereof.
