TAXES

• GLG will not be impacted by proposed US tax legislation regarding the taxation of publicly-held private equity firms and hedge funds structured as partnerships. As a US corporation, GLG pays and will pay US corporate taxes

• GLG will not be impacted by possible US tax legislation regarding the tax rates imposed on “carried interest” earnings. GLG earns fee income and does not receive a “carried interest”

• GLG expects its “effective” tax rate (sum of income taxes, cumulative dividends(1) and tax effect of Acquisition-related compensation expense divided by sum of adjusted net income, income taxes, cumulative dividends and tax effect of Acquisition-related compensation expense) to be in the range of 20% to 25% over the next three years, but the “effective” tax rate will depend on a number of factors:• Jurisdictions in which GLG does business and the income taxes in those jurisdictions• Relative growth rates in earnings in the jurisdictions in which GLG does business

• GLG’s low expected “effective” tax rate going forward is largely the result of the asset basis step-up and associated 15-year goodwill amortization deduction for US tax purposes as a result of the reverse acquisition transaction (approximately $216 million per year)

Note: 1. Cumulative dividends are distributions payable to the holders of exchangeable shares of FA Sub 2 Limited, a subsidiary of GLG Partners, Inc, in respect of our estimate of the net taxable income of FA Sub 2 Limited allocable to such holders multiplied by an assumed tax rate.

DESCRIPTION OF NON-GAAP WEIGHTED AVERAGE FULLY DILUTED SHARE COUNT

26

• Non GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares: GLG’s management assesses business performance per share based on the measure “non GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding,” which adjusts average fully diluted shares outstanding under GAAP for (1) the unvested shares issued pursuant to our equity participation plan, which are recorded under GAAP as treasury shares, but upon which we will pay dividends; (2) unvested shares awarded under our 2007 Restricted Stock Plan and our 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan upon which we will pay dividends; (3) the impact on the weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding of including all of the 69 million outstanding shares of Freedom common stock immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition by Freedom from January 1, 2006 rather than from November 2, 2007; and (4) the impact of including all 74 million Freedom warrants outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition by Freedom of GLG Partners LP and associated entities as outstanding from January 1, 2006, rather than from November 2, 2007, in determining the weighted average number of warrants outstanding in each period, and applying the treasury stock method to determine the number of fully diluted shares outstanding under such warrants applying the stock price on November 2, 2007 for all dates prior to November 2, 2007.

• Non GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP fully-diluted shares outstanding or in calculating GAAP earnings per share. Non GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares is a non GAAP financial measure that we use internally to measure the number of shares on which we expect to pay dividends plus the warrants outstanding under the treasury stock method.

interests in GLG entities and provide services to GLG directly or through two limited liability partnerships

• Are entitled to: • Priority drawings paid as a partnership draw: a fixed base limited partner profit share

ACQUISITION-RELATED COMPENSATION EXPENSE• Following the reverse acquisition transaction, and as required by SFAS 123(R), GLG’s GAAP

compensation, benefits and profit share expense reflects share-based and other compensation recognized in respect of:

• the equity participation plan (including with respect to the cash portion of the awards under the plan in the aggregate amounts of $69 million, $16 million and $7 million for the three 12-month periods beginning with the consummation of the acquisition). Related expenses will end in 2010(1).

• 10,000,000 shares allocated for the benefit of employees, service providers and certain key personnel under the Restricted Stock Plan. Related expenses will end in 2011(2).

• shares allocated for the benefit of employees and certain key personnel under the 2007 LTIP. Related expenses will end in 2013(3).

• the agreement among the Principals and Trustees. Related expenses will end in 2012(4).

• Additionally, GLG subtracts any compensation expense related to dividends paid on unvested shares. Compensation expense is only booked in accordance with SFAS 123(R) on dividends on unvested shares that are ultimately not expected to vest.

29

Notes: 1. Vesting period lasting three years.2. Vesting period lasting four years. 3. Vesting period lasting six years. 4. Vesting period lasting five years.

COMPENSATION, BENEFITS AND PROFIT SHARE

• Under GAAP, there is a charge to compensation expense for Acquisition-related compensation expense based on certain service conditions. However, GLG’s management believes that this charge does not reflect its ongoing core business operations and compensation expense.

• Instead GLG’s management assesses its personnel related expenses based on the measure non GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share, or non GAAP CBP. Non GAAP CBP reflects GAAP compensation, benefits and partner profit share adjusted to exclude Acquisition-related compensation expense in connection with the acquisition by Freedom Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (“Freedom”) of GLG Partners LP and associated entities.

• Non GAAP CBP is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to employee compensation and benefits.

ADJUSTED NET INCOME

• Non GAAP Adjusted Net Income: GLG’s management assesses the underlying performance of its business based on the measure “adjusted net income,” which adjusts net income before minority interest for (1) the Acquisition-related compensation expense, (2) to the extent that GLG records a tax benefit related to Acquisition-related compensation that is tax deductible for GAAP purposes, the impact of that tax benefit in calculating non GAAP adjusted net income, and (3) the cumulative dividends payable to the holders of exchangeable shares of its FA Sub 2 Limited subsidiary in respect of its estimate of the net taxable income of FA Sub 2 Limited allocable to such holders multiplied by an assumed tax rate.

• Adjusted net income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income as an indicator of GLG’s operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.
