### BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES
The Board has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee. The current charters for each committee are available on the company’s website at www.cohenandsteers.com under “Company–Investor Relations–Corporate Governance.”

#### The Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is currently comprised of Mr. Connor (chair), Mses. Dolly, Smith and Wilson Thissen, Dr. Aggarwal and Dr. Villani, each of whom is independent under the NYSE listing standards and the company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, and satisfies the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), pertaining to Audit Committee membership. Rule 10A-3 establishes listing standards related to audit committees, including with respect to: (i) the independence of audit committee members; (ii) the audit committee’s responsibility to select and oversee the independent registered public accounting firm; (iii) procedures for handling complaints regarding a company’s accounting practices; (iv) the audit committee’s authority to engage advisors; and (v) funding for the independent registered public accounting firm and any outside advisors engaged by the audit committee. The Board has determined that each of Mr. Connor, Dr. Aggarwal and Mses. Dolly and Smith qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules and that each of Mr. Connor, Dr. Aggarwal, Mses. Dolly, Smith and Wilson Thissen and Dr. Villani has accounting and related financial management expertise in accordance with the NYSE listing standards.

The Audit Committee’s primary purpose is to assist the Board with its oversight of: (i) the integrity of the company’s financial statements; (ii) the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence; (iii) the company’s internal audit function; and (iv) the company’s compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee also prepares the audit committee report as required by SEC rules to be included in the company’s annual proxy statements.

The Audit Committee regularly holds separate sessions with the company’s management, internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm.

#### The Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Mses. Smith (chair), Dolly and Wilson Thissen, Mr. Connor, Dr. Aggarwal and Dr. Villani, each of whom
