MONY TO MERGE WITH AXA FINANCIAL

 

The MONY Group Inc. stockholders are voting on an important proposal to merge MONY with a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial. But, we have yet to receive your vote. The Board of Directors of MONY recommends that you vote “FOR” the merger.

 

$31.00 IN CASH FOR EACH OF YOUR MONY SHARES

 

If the merger is approved by stockholders and all of the remaining conditions to the merger are fulfilled, you will receive $31.00 in cash for each of your MONY shares.

 

SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

A special meeting of MONY stockholders will be held on February 24, 2004 to approve the merger, as described in MONY’s proxy materials previously sent to you.

 

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

 

Every single vote is important and, if you do not vote, it will have the same effect as a vote against the merger. Remember, if the merger is not approved, you will not receive $31.00 in cash for each of your MONY shares.

    
    PLEASE VOTE TODAY.

YOU ARE A MONY STOCKHOLDER

 

You are a MONY stockholder and you have important rights, including the right to vote your MONY stock. Now, we are asking for your vote to make MONY a part of the AXA Financial family, one of the world’s premier financial services organizations, and make you eligible to receive $31.00 in cash for each of your MONY shares.

 

YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE

 

If you received this brochure, together with a proxy card with your name printed on it, you are a MONY stockholder eligible to vote and receive $31.00 in cash for each of your MONY shares, if and when the merger is completed.

 

YOU HAVE NOT YET VOTED

 

The special meeting of stockholders is important to all MONY stockholders, large and small. Therefore, we are concerned that we have yet to receive your vote. Remember, if you continue to hold an insurance policy issued by MONY it will not be affected by the merger. In fact, we believe the proposed merger with AXA Financial will also offer greater opportunities to our policyholders, while continuing to provide the peace of mind you deserve.
