RESULTING PRO FORMA OWNERSHIP GLG's principals will retain a substantial ownership stake in GLG of approximately 42% on a fully-diluted basis(1) (currently 62%) GLG's key next generation will own approximately 10.3% on a fully-diluted basis(1) (currently 15%) GLG intends to allocate 10 million shares received in the transaction to GLG employees, key personnel and certain other individuals Notes: 1. Based on treasury stock method at Freedom share price of $10.67 as of September 21, 2007. Assumes exchange into Freedom stock of all exchangeable securities issued in connection with the transaction and no redemption by Freedom shareholders. 2. Includes co-investment by Freedom sponsors of $50 million for 5 million units. 3. All warrants have an exercise price of $7.50.

TAXES Freedom (and the GLG business) 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, Freedom pays and will pay US corporate taxes Freedom (and the GLG business) 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 to remain near 20% 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 primarily the result of the asset basis step-up and associated 15-year goodwill amortization deduction for US tax purposes as a result of the transaction 18

LIMITED PARTNER PROFIT SHARE ARRANGEMENT Mid-2006, GLG entered into partnerships with a number of its key personnel These individuals: Ceased being employees and became holders of direct or indirect limited partnership 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 and a variable limited partner profit share which is contractually linked to management fees and performance fees attributable to the individuals concerned. Discretionary limited partner profit share which is determined by management in its sole discretion When assessing business performance, GLG management adds limited partner profit share to employee compensation expense to show the total cost of services provided to GLG by both participants in the limited partner profit share arrangement and employees The portion of GLG's profits comprising the limited partner profit share is included in income before taxes but is subject to tax at the level of the limited partners and is not subject to corporation tax 19
