(1) Comprised of 1,242,002 Class A common partnership units in APHand 3,334 shares of Class A common stock directly held.

(2) Consists of 390,336 Class A common partnership units in APH held by Frog & Peach LLC, of which the reporting person is a member.

(3) The Class A common partnership units can generally be exchanged for an equivalent number of Class A common stock of the Issuer beginning on March 12, 2014.

(4) Beneficial ownership is calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act, whereby the reporting person is considered to beneficially own shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer by virtue of the ability, generally, to exchange Class A common partnership units of Artisan Partners Holdings LP (“APH”) for shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis beginning on March 12, 2014. In accordance with Rule 13d-3, in determining the percentage ownership, only those shares issuable to the reporting person upon an exchange of partnership units are considered to be outstanding, in addition to the already outstanding shares of Class A common stock. As a result, the beneficial ownership percentage does not reflect the reporting person’s actual voting or economic interest in the Issuer.

Explanatory Note: The reporting person is filing this report to reflect its beneficial ownership of Class A common stock of the Issuer, as a result of the Class A common partnership units of APH, generally, becoming exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis on March 12, 2014 (the one year anniversary of the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering). By virtue of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the reporting person is deemed to beneficially own shares of Class A common stock issuable to him within 60 days. In accordance with Rule 13d-3, in determining the reporting person’s percentage of beneficial ownership, only those shares issuable to the reporting person upon an exchange of partnership units are considered to be outstanding, in addition to the already outstanding Class A common stock. As a result, the reporting person was deemed to have become the beneficial owner of greater than 5% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock on January 11, 2014 (60 days prior to the date upon which the partnership units become exchangeable for Class A common stock). The reporting person has not purchased or otherwise acquired any securities of the Issuer since the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering. The beneficial ownership percentage calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 does not reflect a partnership unit holder’s actual economic or voting interest in the Issuer. The reporting person holds one share of Class C common stock of the Issuer for each Class A common partnership unit. The Class C common shares entitle the holder to one vote per share. Item 1.
