A. General Description of Advisory Firm GLG Partners LP is a limited partnership registered under the Limited Partnership Act of 1907 of England and Wales with its principal place of business in London, England. GLG Partners LP which is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom, offers advisory or sub-advisory services to non-U.S. and U.S. institutional managed accounts and pooled investment vehicles on either a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. GLG Partners LP offers discretionary investment advice and/or management services according to the stated investment objectives, restrictions and policies of each client. The general partner of GLG Partners LP is GLG Partners Limited which is ultimately owned by Man Group plc, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a component of the FTSE 250 Index. Man Group plc, through its investment management subsidiaries (collectively, "Man"), is a global alternative investment management business and provides a range of fund products and investment management services for institutional and private investors globally. As of December 31, 2019, Man had approximately $117.7 billion of funds under management.

GLG Partners LP has full discretionary advisory investment management authority with respect to investment decisions for pooled investment vehicles, including private funds (the "Funds") and managed accounts. GLG Partners LP's advice with respect to the Funds and managed accounts is made in accordance with the investment objectives and guidelines as set forth in the applicable GLG Partners LP Fund's offering memorandum or the managed account's investment management agreement. Certain clients of GLG Partners LP invest in the Funds and those clients have been reflected in responses to these questions as investors in the Funds. “Funds” include one or more funds that GLG Partners LP, affiliates or employees have seeded or invested over 25% of the capital of such Funds. Important information regarding each Fund and managed account, which includes investment objectives, risks, strategy, fees and other material information, including applicable conflicts of interest is contained in each Fund’s offering documents and in each managed account's investment management agreement, as the case may be. As used herein, the term "client" generally refers to each Fund and each beneficial owner of a managed account. GLG Partners LP may offer advisory services to non-discretionary accounts whereby GLG Partners LP has on-going responsibility to select or make recommendations, based upon the needs of the client, as to financial instruments the account may purchase or sell and, if such recommendations are accepted by the client, GLG Partners LP would be responsible for arranging or effecting the purchase or sale. Certain affiliated advisory firms are considered to be “Participating Affiliates” of GLG Partners LP (as that term is used in relief granted by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)) allowing investment advisers registered with the SEC to use portfolio management, operations, and trading resources of advisory affiliates and personnel subject to the supervision of an SEC-registered adviser. Professionals from such Participating Affiliates may render portfolio management, valuation, operations, research, risk management, trading or other related services to GLG Partners LP clients and/or GLG Partners LP as affiliated “associated persons” of GLG Partners LP and are subject to supervision by GLG Partners LP. In addition, GLG Partners LP may provide portfolio management, risk management, research, or other related services to the Participating Affiliates under separate services agreements. Fees may be paid by and received from the parties under these arrangements. GLG Partners LP complies with applicable U.S. securities regulations only with respect to its U.S. clients. Man provides a number of centralized functions to GLG Partners LP, which includes trading, risk management, operations, middle office accounting, finance, proxy voting, class actions, human resources, facilities, tax, legal, compliance, information technology, among other such services. GLG Partners LP utilizes investment management, cash management, research, investment models, client servicing, sales and marketing capabilities of its affiliates in providing services to its clients. In addition, GLG Partners LP’s affiliates may utilize its investment management, research, and other services in providing services to their clients.

While much of this brochure applies to all of GLG Partners LP’s U.S. clients, certain information applies to specific U.S. clients only. Important information regarding each fund and managed account, which includes investment objectives, risks, strategy, fees and other material information, including applicable conflicts of interest regarding relationships with affiliates, is contained in each fund’s offering documents and in each managed account's investment management agreement, as the case may be. B. Description of Advisory Services Please see Item 8 herein. This Brochure generally includes information about GLG Partners LP and its relationships with its clients and affiliates. While much of this Brochure applies to all such clients and affiliates, certain information included herein applies to specific clients or affiliates only. This Brochure does not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. The securities of the Funds which are “private funds” are offered and sold on a private placement basis under exemptions promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and other exemptions of similar import under U.S. state laws and the laws of other jurisdictions where any offering may be made. In the U.S., shares in the Funds are generally offered on a private placement basis to U.S. persons, and outside the U.S., in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act with respect to non-U.S. persons, and subject to certain other conditions, which are fully set forth in the offering documents for the Funds. The interests in the Funds are generally offered in the U.S. on a private placement basis, pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Company Act”), to persons who are "accredited investors" as defined under the Securities Act and "qualified purchasers" as defined under the Company Act, and subject to certain other conditions, which are set forth in the offering documents for the Funds. Persons reviewing this Brochure should not construe this as an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of any of the Funds described herein. Any such offer or solicitation will be made only by means of an offering memorandum. C. Availability of Customized Services for Individual Clients GLG Partners LP's investment decisions and advice with respect to each Fund are subject to the Fund's investment objectives and guidelines, as set forth in its offering documents. Similarly, GLG Partners LP's investment decisions and advice with respect to each managed account are subject to each client's investment objectives and guidelines, as set forth in the client's investment management agreement, as well as any written instructions provided by the beneficial owner to GLG Partners LP. A Fund may issue other classes, sub-classes, tranches, sub-tranches and/or series (or sub-series) of shares or interests, as applicable, in the future (or enter into "side letter" agreements with certain investor(s) that alter, modify or change the terms of the shares or interests, as applicable, held by the investor(s)), which may differ and may be more favorable from the shares or interests, as applicable, currently offered by the Fund in terms of, among other things, performance compensation, management fee, redemption rights (including redemption dates and notice periods), currency denomination, minimum and additional subscription amounts, informational rights and other rights. New classes, sub-classes, tranches, sub-tranches and/or series (or sub-series) of shares or interests, as applicable, may be issued (or "side letter" agreements may be entered into) by a Fund's board of directors, in its sole discretion, on behalf of the Fund, in consultation with GLG Partners LP, without providing prior notice to, or receiving consent from, existing investors. The terms of such classes, sub-classes, tranches, sub-tranches and/or series (or sub-series) or "side letter" agreements will be determined by the board of directors, in its sole discretion, in consultation with GLG Partners LP. In general, a Fund will not be required to notify investors of any such "side letter" agreements or any of the rights and/or terms or provisions thereof, nor will a Fund be required to offer such additional and/or different rights and/or terms to any or all of the other investors. D. GLG Partners LP’s Collateralized Loan Obligations GLG Partners LP provides investment management services to certain collateralized loan obligation special purpose vehicles (each a "GLG CLO"). Each GLG CLO is a non-U.S. entity that issues rated notes (“Rated Notes”) and non-rated notes (“Equity” and, together with the Rated Notes, “Notes”) under an English law trust deed (a “Trust Deed”). The Notes of each GLG CLO are secured by a portfolio of assets consisting primarily of "Leveraged Loans” (described further below) owned by that GLG CLO and managed by GLG Partners LP pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement between that GLG CLO and GLG Partners LP. Investors who wish to obtain exposure to Leveraged Loans and similar investments, including, without limitation, high yield bonds, may do so through purchasing Notes issued directly by the CLOs. Investment management agreements and related Trust Deed documentation contain detailed specifications and requirements regarding the types of Leveraged Loans and other assets GLG Partners LP is permitted to acquire on behalf of the GLG CLOs, and specify the circumstances in which we can purchase and sell assets, as well as the overall composition of the portfolio (diversity, concentration, ratings, etc.). These investment guidelines are generally not tailored to the individualized needs of any particular investor or holder of Notes (each a “Noteholder”). At inception, however, specific asset criteria or portfolio guidelines may be established in consultation with certain key, prospective investors. Generally, prospective investors and Noteholders must independently consider whether a particular GLG CLO meets their investment objectives and risk tolerances prior to investing. In connection with the pre-launch phase of each GLG CLO’s lifecycle, GLG Partners LP also acts as investment manager in respect of the “warehouse” assets acquired by that GLG CLO. Generally, such warehouses are expected to be operative for the 6 to 12 month period prior to launch of a GLG CLO, with optionality to extend for a further 12 months, depending upon market conditions. GLG Partners LP and, sometimes, one or more prospective Noteholders provide junior financing to such warehouses, with senior financing provided by the CLO underwriter/arranger. References to CLOs or GLG CLOs infra include such warehousing arrangements. During the warehouse phase of each GLG CLO, GLG Partners LP also acts as “mini-warehouse” provider, pursuant to which role it purchases directly onto its own balance sheet a certain portion (generally 5 to 10%) of the assets intended to be held by that GLG CLO on its launch. The assets so purchased are sold onto the relevant GLG CLO upon its launch. This activity is undertaken in order that GLG Partners LP is able to comply with applicable regulation requiring it to “originate” a certain portion of each GLG CLO’s asset portfolio. E. Wrap Fee Programs GLG Partners LP does not participate in wrap fee programs. F. Assets Under Management GLG Partners LP manages approximately $33 billion in regulatory assets under management on a discretionary basis as of December 31, 2019.
