CUSIP NO. 37929X 107		SCHEDULE 13D		Page 7 of 12 Pages

of Man received by the Trusts in exchange for securities of the Company under the Share Exchange Agreement or (ii) in lieu of all or a portion of the shares of Man described in clause (i) above, an amount in cash equal to the net proceeds from the sale of shares of Man not otherwise being delivered pursuant to the terms of clause (i), in ordinary sales transactions on the London Stock Exchange, together with (B) an amount in cash equal to the cumulative value of all dividends, distributions and other income distributed by Man in respect of the notional number of shares of Man delivered by the Trusts to the LPs; provided, however, that the installment dates and share amounts set forth in the Purchase Agreements may be adjusted to the extent that forfeitures and/or reallocations of membership interests held by certain members of the LPs occur after the date of the Purchase Agreements in accordance with the terms of the LPs’ limited partnership agreements, as applicable. The LPs each have the right to rescind their respective Purchase Agreements with the respective Trusts and reacquire the shares prior to completion of the Merger (or such other date as agreed). By virtue of the LPs’ rights to rescind their respective Purchase Agreements with the respective Trusts and reacquire the shares prior to completion of the Merger (or such other date as agreed), each of the LPs is deemed to also have beneficial ownership of the shares held by the Trusts, respectively, under the SEC rules for determining beneficial ownership.
