Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	On August 13, 2009 (the "Trade Date"), Man Group UK Limited, of which the Reporting Person is the sole shareholder, entered into a variable forward sale agreement (the "VFS Agreement") with an unaffiliated buyer pursuant to which Man Group UK Limited will receive an initial cash payment of approximately $112 million on August 18, 2009. In return, the contract obligates Man Group UK Limited to deliver up to an aggregate of 22,252,667 shares of the Issuer's common shares (Man Group UK Limited's entire ownership stake in the Issuer) (the "Pledged Shares") in four installments beginning on each of the 32nd, 36th, 40th and 44th months after the trade date, with each nearly equal installment spread over a 30 trading day period. The VFS Agreement provides for Man Group UK Limited to have received aggregate payments upon ultimate settlement of a minimum of $5.355 per common share up to a maximum of $7.14 per common share.
(2)	The effect of the VFS Agreement is that Man Group UK Limited will not exercise voting rights with respect to the Pledged Shares. Intended settlement of the VFS Agreement would return cash amounts to Man Group UK Limited in lieu of any Pledged Shares that would otherwise be returnable to Man Group UK Limited. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Issuer's common shares reported herein except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein and the inclusion of the Issuer's common shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares of the Issuer's common shares for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose.
(3)	The VFS Agreement was entered into by Man Group UK Limited, of which the Reporting Person is the sole shareholder.
