FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TENDER OFFER FOR REFCO PUBLIC COMMODITY POOL, L.P.

New York, New York, August 30, 2010 — RCP TenderCo LLC (Purchaser) has extended the expiration date for its offer to purchase all outstanding Class 1 units (including Class 1-O units) and Class 2 units of limited partnership interests of Refco Public Commodity Pool, L.P. (Partnership) to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on Friday, September 3, 2010, unless further extended.  The tender offer was previously scheduled to expire on Wednesday, September 1, 2010.  Purchaser reported that approximately 4,051 total units have been tendered and not withdrawn to date in response to its tender offer.

Purchaser has also waived the “Transfer Condition” which previously formed a part of the tender offer, so that the tender offer is no longer conditioned upon receipt of written confirmation from the Partnership that it will transfer all units accepted for payment in the offer. However, Purchaser expects that the liquidating trustee of the Partnership will work to effect a transfer of the tendered units at the earliest possible time. Also, pursuant to its Agreement to Transfer and Letter of Transmittal, each tendering holder appoints Purchaser its attorney-in-fact to transfer units accepted for payment and agrees to execute additional documents that Purchaser deems necessary or desirable to complete the transfer.

           If you wish to tender your units, you should complete and return to D.F. King & Co., Inc. an Agreement to Transfer and Letter of Transmittal for receipt not later than September 3, 2010.  If you have already tendered your units, you do not need to send another Agreement to Transfer and Letter of Transmittal.

If you require a copy of the Agreement to Transfer and Letter of Transmittal in order to tender your units, need assistance in completing the Letter of Transmittal, or otherwise have questions about the offer, please contact D.F. King & Co., Inc. toll free at (800) 488-8095.
