MF Global Announces Price Range for its Initial Public Offering



    MF Global Ltd. (currently operating through Man Financial Ltd, Man
    Financial Inc. and other subsidiaries of Man Group plc) today filed
    with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) an amendment to
    its registration statement on Form F-1 for the initial public offering
    of its common shares. The estimated price range for the initial public
    offering is $36 to $39.

    Man Group plc (LSE:EMG) currently plans to offer 97.4 million
    common shares of MF Global, representing approximately 80% of the
    outstanding share capital. Man Group has also granted the underwriters
    an option to purchase up to 9.7 million additional common shares of MF
    Global in the offering.

    On March 30, 2007 Man Group announced its intention to separate
    Man Financial, its brokerage business, through an initial public
    offering. Man Financial will be renamed MF Global upon completion of
    the separation and IPO. MF Global's common shares have been approved
    for listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol
    "MF."

    Citi, JPMorgan, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch & Co. and UBS
    Investment Bank are serving as joint book-running managers for the
    offering. The joint lead managers are Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank
    Securities, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley. Other co-managers
    include ABN AMRO Rothschild LLC, Banc Of America Securities LLC, BMO
    Capital Markets, HSBC, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Sandler O'Neill +
    Partners, L.P., and Wachovia Securities. Lazard is acting as a
    financial advisor to MF Global in the matter.

    The offering will be made only by means of a prospectus. Copies of
    the preliminary prospectus may be obtained by contacting any of the
    joint book-running managers whose contact information is listed

    filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities
    may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time
