     The following is a press release issued by GLG Partners, Inc. (“GLG”) dated October 12, 2010 announcing the extension of its tender offer for any or all of its outstanding warrants, including public warrants.

GLG ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF TENDER OFFER FOR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS

New York, October 12, 2010 — GLG Partners, Inc. (“GLG”) (NYSE: GLG) today announced that it is extending its previously announced tender offer for any or all of its 54,484,677 outstanding warrants, including public warrants (NYSE: GLGWS), for a purchase price of $0.129 per warrant, in cash, without interest, until 3:45 a.m. E.D.T. on October 14, 2010 (the “Expiration Date”), unless further extended. GLG extended the offer to ensure that the Expiration Date of the offer coincides with the completion of the previously announced merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of Man Group plc (“Man”). The offer previously was expected to expire at 12:00 midnight E.D.T. on October 12, 2010. The depository for the offer, BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, has advised GLG that 23,936,306 warrants had been tendered and not withdrawn as of the close on Monday, October 11, 2010. The tender offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of warrants being tendered.

GLG is making the offer to purchase the warrants in connection with its agreement to be acquired by Man pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 17, 2010, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), among Man, Man’s wholly owned subsidiary Escalator Sub 1 Inc. and GLG. The offer is conditioned upon completion of the merger. Completion of the merger is subject to the approval of GLG stockholders at a stockholders’ meeting, which is to be held at 10:00 a.m. today, and other closing conditions. GLG intends to delist and deregister the public warrants following expiration of the tender offer.

Warrant holders who choose not to tender in the offer will not receive cash for their warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the warrants, following completion of the merger, holders of warrants, if any, that remain outstanding will be entitled, subject to the other terms and conditions thereof, to exercise their warrants at an exercise price of $7.50 per warrant, but will only have the right to receive upon such exercise an amount equal to the cash merger consideration of $4.50 per warrant, thereby incurring a loss of $3.00 per warrant. Accordingly, the warrants will be permanently out-of-the-money and will have no economic value following the merger.

This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. The tender offer is being made solely through the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal, which have been sent to holders of GLG warrants. Holders of warrants should read the Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal and other related materials and any amendments to such documents, because they contain important information. GLG has filed a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the SEC. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal, and all other tender offer documents filed with the SEC, including the Schedule TO, are

available at no charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Copies of such documents may also be obtained free of charge by contacting Morrow & Co., LLC, Stamford, Connecticut at 1-800-969-2372.
