Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On May 11, 2009, GLG Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) released its earnings for the first fiscal quarter of 2009 and is furnishing a copy of the earnings release to the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. In addition, the Company will discuss its financial results during a webcast and teleconference call on May 11, 2009 at 4:30 p.m. (ET). The webcast and teleconference call may be accessed through the Company’s website at www.glgpartners.com.
     Attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference is the investor presentation to be used by the Company in conjunction with the Company’s webcast and teleconference call. The information contained in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
     The Company presents certain financial measures, such as adjusted net income, non-GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share and non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares, that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in addition to financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the discussion in the earnings release under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its evaluation of the Company’s core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes these measures are an important component of its internal performance measurement process. The Company’s management also prepares forecasts for future periods on a basis consistent with these non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures the Company presents may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
     Under the Company’s credit facility, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants based on adjusted earnings before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated based on the non-GAAP adjusted net income measure, further adjusted to add back interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Non-GAAP adjusted net income has certain limitations in that it may overcompensate for certain costs and expenditures related to the Company’s business.
