GLG OVERVIEW Notes: 1. GLG alternative strategies' dollar-weighted average returns are calculated as the composite performance of all constituent funds excluding all managed accounts, fund of funds, the GLG Emerging Markets Special Situations Fund, the special asset funds and the Pendragon funds, weighted by the sum of month end fund AUM and fund net inflows on the subsequent dealing day. GLG long only strategies' composite returns include managed accounts (other than those managed in accordance with a 130/30 or similar strategy) along with SGAM UK funds and managed accounts (excluding fund of funds or accounts invested solely in other funds and two managed accounts for which GLG does not exercise full control). Further, SGAM UK managed account data is before fees. Performance is typically measured by the longest running share class in each fund. 2. Share price of $4.00, as of September 15, 2009, and shares outstanding of 309.2 million as of June 30, 2009, assumes conversion of FA Sub 2 Limited Exchangeable Shares. 3. Includes contractors and temporary personnel. 3 GLG is a leading global multi-strategy investment manager Founded in 1995 with a long history of strong and sustained investment performance $19.1 billion in net assets under management ("AUM") as of June 30, 2009 with a broad range of funds and managed accounts comprising both alternative and long only strategies Strong recent absolute and relative investment performance with net dollar-weighted returns(1) of approximately 20.0% for its alternative strategies and 29.9% for long only strategies year-to-date through August 31, 2009 Attractive foundation of institutional, retail and high net worth clients Accessed the public markets in November 2007, through a reverse merger transaction with Freedom Acquisition Holdings; GLG currently trades on the NYSE with a market capitalization of $1.24 billion(2) Over 395 people, including approximately 125 investment professionals(3)

DIFFERENTIATED INVESTMENT APPROACH AND INFRASTRUCTURE Heavy emphasis on fundamental research, tactical trading and a vast network of industry and street contacts. The scale of GLG drives significant access. Investment professionals work on large open research / trading floors. Investment strategies have dedicated investment and risk professionals. Culture, compensation and physical layout are designed to facilitate real time information flow and collaboration. Senior Management Advisory Group comprised of GLG professionals was created in October 2008 and advises the firm on strategic direction and the delivery of best of breed performance for its investors and operations. Risk and controls infrastructure is tailored at the fund level (limits for net and gross exposure, position concentrations, VAR), monitored by distinct risk managers and reviewed at the firm level by the Risk Committee, David Benjamin (Head of Risk) and Emmanuel Roman (Co-CEO). Independent custodians, multiple prime brokers and first class customer statements complemented by regulatory oversight from the FSA and the SEC. 5

ATTRACTIVE PLATFORM FOR WORLD CLASS INSTITUTIONS Superior client focus through dedicated client services team with direct access to the investment management and risk teams and customized, real time client reporting Significant number of clients invested in multiple GLG funds Large proportion of AUM from long-standing clients: Significant number of high net worth private client AUM dates back to near inception of GLG Material institutional clients were introduced when first funds were launched in 1997 6

LONG-TERM TRACK RECORD OF STRONG INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE Since the first fund launched in 1997, GLG has achieved a 13.7% net-of-fees annualized dollar- weighted return on its alternative strategies(1) through August 2009 Rebased Index Value 7 Notes: Performance is typically measured by the longest running share class in each fund. First GLG fund began trading in January 1997; as a result, indices are rebased to 100 as at January 1, 1997 with monthly data points through to August 28, 2009. Annualized returns are calculated on basis of monthly pricing data. 1. GLG alternative strategies' dollar-weighted average returns are calculated as the composite performance of all constituent funds excluding all managed accounts, fund of funds, the GLG Emerging Markets Special Situations Fund, the special asset funds and the Pendragon funds, weighted by the sum of month end fund AUM and fund net inflows on the subsequent dealing day. 2. GLG long only strategies' dollar-weighted average returns include managed accounts (other than those managed in accordance with a 130/30 or similar strategy) along with SGAM UK funds and managed accounts (excluding fund of funds or accounts invested solely in other funds and two managed accounts for which GLG does not exercise full control). Further, SGAM UK managed account data is before fees. Aug 09

SGAM UK managed account data is before fees. 2. GLG 130 / 30 strategies' dollar-weighted average returns include all managed accounts and funds managed in accordance with a 130 / 30 or similar strategy. 3. GLG alternative strategies' dollar-weighted average returns are calculated as the composite performance of all constituent funds excluding all managed accounts, fund of funds, the GLG Emerging Markets Special Situations Fund, the special asset funds and the Pendragon funds, weighted by the sum of month end fund AUM and fund net inflows on the subsequent dealing day. 4. August 2009 dollar-weighted average returns are calculated based on estimated month-end net asset values (NAVs) as at August 28, 2009

POSITIVE RECENT PERFORMANCE 9 Notes: GLG alternative strategies' dollar-weighted average returns are calculated as the composite performance of all constituent funds excluding all managed accounts, fund of funds, the GLG Emerging Markets Special Situations Fund, the special asset funds and the Pendragon funds, weighted by the sum of month end fund AUM and fund net inflows on the subsequent dealing day. GLG long only strategies' composite returns include managed accounts (other than those managed in accordance with a 130/30 or similar strategy) along with SGAM UK funds and managed accounts (excluding fund of funds or accounts invested solely in other funds and two managed accounts for which GLG does not exercise full control). Further, SGAM UK managed account data is before fees. GLG 130/30 strategies' composite returns include all managed accounts and funds managed in accordance with a 130/30 or similar strategy. Performance is typically measured by the longest running share class in each fund. Blended benchmark returns are calculated as the aggregate of the dollar-weighted returns for the relevant benchmarks for each fund / managed account. In the event there is no relevant benchmark, an appropriate performance comparator is used. 1.

KEY PERFORMANCE RATIOS Notes: 1. Ratios are annualized for half year periods and average net AUM for a given period is calculated as a 3 point (first quarter open and close and second quarter close) average for the halves and 5 point average for the years; ratios calculated using 2008 and H1 2009 average net AUM exclude the approximately $3 billion mandate pursuant to the sub- advisory arrangement with SGAM UK which terminated upon the completion of its acquisition on April 3, 2009 and ratios calculated using H1 2009 average net AUM include net AUM of approximately $7 billion acquired from SGAM UK on April 3, 2009 as if the assets were acquired at the opening of Q2 2009. 2. Since performance fees are only recognized when they crystallize, typically on June 30th and December 31st, total net revenues and other income captures first half performance fees in Q2 and second half performance fees in Q4. 3. Equals the sum of income taxes, cumulative dividends and tax effect of Acquisition-related compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets divided by the sum of adjusted net income, income taxes, cumulative dividends and tax effect of Acquisition-related compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets.

APPENDIX

HISTORY OF GLG GLG was founded by Noam Gottesman, Pierre Lagrange and Jonathan Green in 1995 as a division of Lehman Brothers Founders had worked together at Goldman Sachs Private Client Services since late 1980s GLG began to offer fund products in early 1997 Became an independent business in 2000, with Lehman Brothers initially holding a 20% minority interest (currently 11%) Since 2000, GLG has made considerable investments developing a cohesive investment management team and robust platform GLG accessed the public markets through a reverse acquisition transaction with Freedom in November 2007 GLG acquired Societe Generale Asset Management UK, a UK-based long-only asset manager, in April 2009 18

FOREIGN CURRENCY IMPACT ON AUM GLG typically offers multi-currency share classes to its investors in each of its Funds As of June 30, 2009, the AUM split by currency was as follows: 19 $0.4 B $(0.7) B $0.7 B $1.0 B $(0.7) B $(0.3) B $1.0 B 1Q 09* 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 FX Impact in $ * Quarterly data has not been annualized USD EUR GBP 34% 30% 24% With a de minimis amount of other currencies 2Q 09*

TAXES GLG expects its "effective" tax rate(1) 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). Tax laws frequently change, sometimes with a retroactive effect. Until the legislation is finalized, it is often difficult to predict the impact of tax legislation on our financial results. No assurance can be given that tax law changes will not materially affect our financial position. GLG notes currently that: The UK legislation introducing a worldwide debt cap became law on July 21, 2009, effective January 1, 2010. This new legislation may restrict U.K. corporation tax deductions for financing costs based on the worldwide financing costs of the corporate group. The U.S. Congress is considering changes to U.S. income tax laws which would increase the U.S. income tax rate imposed on "carried interest" earnings and would subject to U.S. corporate income tax certain publicly held private equity firms and hedge funds structured as partnerships (for U.S. federal income tax purposes). These changes would not apply to us because the Company is already taxed in the United States as a U.S. corporation and earns fee income and does not receive a "carried interest". President Obama and the U.S. Treasury Department proposed, on May 5, 2009, changes in certain of the U.S. tax rules for U.S. corporations doing business outside the United States. The proposed changes would limit the ability of U.S. corporations to deduct expenses attributable to offshore earnings, modify the foreign tax credit rules and further restrict the ability of U.S. corporations to transfers fund between foreign subsidiaries without triggering U.S. income tax. The scope of this proposed change, the form it will take if enacted, and its potential impact, are unclear, and GLG is closely monitoring this proposal. 20 Notes: 1. "Effective" tax rate is the sum of income taxes, cumulative dividends and tax effect of Acquisition-related compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets divided by the sum of adjusted net income, income taxes, cumulative dividends and tax effect of Acquisition-related compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets. 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.

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 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 compensation, benefits and profit share. 30

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 non-controlling interests 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, (3) any gains or losses realized from investments in GLG Funds held by equity participation plan participants in connection with the Acquisition, (4) 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, (5) the gain on business combination arising from the purchase of SGAM UK, and (6) amortization of the intangible assets recognized in relation to the acquired management contracts of SGAM UK and its associated tax effect. A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted net income to GAAP net loss before non-controlling interests is provided in the Financial Summary on page 14. 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. 32
