Man Group plc - Annual Report 2007

Payment of dividends to mandated accounts
Each dividend warrant includes a form for establishing payments of future dividends directly to the bank or building society of your choice. Shareholders are encouraged to use this facility. Cleared funds are provided on payment date and the associated tax voucher is sent directly to the shareholder’s registered, or other previously designated, address.

Private shareholders living overseas may be able to mandate their dividends directly into a ‘local’ bank account in the chosen country’s domestic currency under the Transcontinental Automated Payment Service (TAPS). Details are available via the shareholder enquiries facility of Lloyds TSB Registrars.

Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting will be held at 11 am on Thursday 12 July 2007 at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P 3EE.

Multiple accounts on the shareholder register
If you have received two or more copies of this document, this means that there is more than one account in your name on the shareholder register. This may be caused by either your name or address appearing on each account in a slightly different way. For security reasons, the Registrars will not amalgamate the accounts without your written consent, so if you would like any multiple accounts combined into one account, please write to Lloyds TSB Registrars at the address given above.

Registering with them will stop most unsolicited consumer advertising material.

Warning to Shareholders
Over the last year many companies have become aware that their shareholders have received unsolicited phone calls or correspondence concerning investment matters which imply a connection to the company concerned. These are typically from overseas based ‘brokers’ who target UK shareholders offering to sell them what often turn out to be worthless or high risk shares in US or UK investments.

They can be very persistent and extremely persuasive and a 2006 survey by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has reported that the average amount lost by investors is around £20,000. It is not just the novice investor that has been duped in this way; many of the victims had been successfully investing for several years. Shareholders are advised to be very wary of any unsolicited advice, offers to buy shares at a discount or offers of free reports on the company.

If you receive any unsolicited investment advice:

• Make sure you get the correct name of the person and organisation and make a record of any other information they give you, e.g. telephone number, address etc.
• Check that they are properly authorised by the FSA before getting involved. You can check at www.fsa.gov.uk/register.
• The FSA also maintains on its website a list of unauthorised overseas firms who are targeting, or have targeted, UK investors and any approach from such organisations should be reported to the FSA so that this list can be kept up-to-date and any other appropriate action can be considered. If you deal with an unauthorised firm, you would not be eligible to receive payment under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The FSA can, preferably, be contacted by completing an online form at www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/doing/regulated/law/alerts/overseas.shtml or, if you do not have access to the internet, on 0845 606 1234.
• Inform our Registrars on 0870 850 3112. They are not able to investigate such incidents themselves but will record the details and pass them on to Man Group plc and liaise with the FSA.

Details of any sharedealing facilities that the Company endorses will be included in Company mailings.
