C. Availability of Customized Services for Individual Clients While the Firm continues to provide investment

advisory services to Clients by acting as the collateral manager for CLO Issuers, the Firm is not accepting any new Clients. The Firm’s affiliate, GLG LLC, offers investment advisory services to new Clients. 1 Man assets under management as stated in the Man Group plc Annual Report include advisory-only assets over which Man has no decision making or trading authority and dedicated managed account platform services for which Man provides platform and risk management services but does not provide investment management services. Each CLO Issuer typically is a non-U.S. entity that issues rated notes (“Rated Notes”) and non-rated notes (“Equity”, together with the Rated Notes, “Notes”) under an indenture (“Indenture”). The Notes are secured by a portfolio consisting primarily of "Leveraged Loans” (described further below under Item 8 “Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss") managed by the Firm. Investment management agreements and related Indentures documentation contain detailed specifications and requirements regarding the types of Leveraged Loans and other assets we are permitted to acquire (or obtain synthetic exposure to) on behalf of Clients and specify the circumstances in which we can purchase and sell, 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 CLO Note holder. At inception, however, specific asset criteria or portfolio guidelines may be established in consultation with certain prospective investors or CLO Note holders. Generally, investors and CLO Note holders must independently consider whether a particular CLO meets their investment objectives and risk tolerances prior to investing in Notes issued by a CLO. D.
