("Parent Common Stock") referred to herein was reported in the Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011 because Cowen Structured Holdings LLC (f/k/a LaBranche & Co Inc. "LaBranche") may have been deemed to have had beneficial ownership of such shares as a result of the granting of an irrevocable proxy by RCG Holdings LLC ("RCG") pursuant to that certain Voting Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2011, by and between LaBranche and RCG (the "Voting Agreement"). On June 28, 2011, the merger of Louisiana Merger Sub, Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Cowen Group, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), with and into LaBranche was completed and the Voting Agreement and the irrevocable proxy contained therein terminated by its terms.Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) under the Exchange Act, this filing shall not be deemed an admission that LaBranche is or was, for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any shares of Parent Common Stock referred to herein, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. LaBranche does not have any pecuniary interest in the Parent Common Stock and therefore does not have beneficial ownership of any shares of Parent Common Stock within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(a)(2) of the Exchange Act.See Exhibit 99.12011-06-29EX-99.1
