MAN INVESTMENTS APPOINTS GEORGE YEPES TO HEAD NORTH AMERICAN SALES

Man Investments has appointed George Yepes as Managing Director - North American Sales &
Relationship Management. In this new role, Mr. Yepes has overall responsibility for client
relationship management in the U.S. and institutional clients in Canada. He will be based in Man’s
New York office and report to Martin Keller, Head of Institutional Clients at Man. Man allocates
approximately $9 billion to U.S.-based hedge funds and has 130 full-time employees in North
America.

Mr. Yepes joins Man Investments from Gottex Fund Management where since 2004 he was
Managing Director - Head of North American Distribution and Client Service. At Gottex, he was
responsible for developing the firm’s North and South American distribution businesses, working
closely with the consultant community, major public pension plans, endowments, and private banks.

"In the current climate, investors want deeper partnerships and more transparency with their asset
managers than they ever have before,” said Martin Keller. “George’s 20 years sales and financial
market experience, deep hedge fund knowledge and strong client relationships make him ideally
placed to develop these close partnerships.”

The appointment underscores Man’s continuing commitment to the North American institutional
market. Last October, industry sales veteran John Barbo joined Man to lead the U.S. private
banking and financial intermediary business. Mr. Barbo, along with the institutional sales teams in
New York and Toronto, will report to Mr. Yepes.

“Man’s highly experienced investment team and its corporate strength make it a formidable
competitor in today’s fast evolving market,” said Mr. Yepes. “I am excited to be part of Man’s
outstanding global team which is uniquely qualified to address hedge fund investors’ changing
needs.”
