AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN HOLDING L.P. (AB)

AllianceBernstein names Onur Erzan CEO effective April 1, 2027; Seth Bernstein to retire

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

AllianceBernstein said CEO Seth Bernstein will retire on March 31, 2027, and President Onur Erzan will succeed him as President and Chief Executive Officer effective April 1, 2027. Bernstein will remain on the AB Board of Directors, and Erzan will join the board on the same date, so shareholders face a planned leadership transition rather than a change in reported financial results.

  • Onur Erzan, age 50, has been AB's President since January 5, 2026 and will become President and CEO effective April 1, 2027.
  • Erzan's fiscal 2027 total compensation target is $13.5 million, including a $650,000 base salary and a $5.8 million cash bonus.
  • Bernstein's retirement agreement includes a $2.5 million restricted unit grant and a $1.0 million 2026 Equitable Holdings award; AB reported $919 billion in assets under management as of August 31, 2026.
