\"\"<\/a>New York (HedgeCo.net) – Hedge fund\u00a0Man Group has paid $355m to take over all residual exposure to Lehman Brothers from funds acquired when it bought GLG last year.<\/p>\n

“These transactions will remove the remaining\u00a0uncertainty from funds with residual claims against the Lehman estates, to the benefit of both existing\u00a0and new investors.”\u00a0Peter Clarke, Chief Executive of Man, said, “In this way, Man can use its resources productively to provide clarity for fund\u00a0investors and the opportunity to grow assets in the affected funds more quickly.”<\/p>\n

“The total consideration for the transactions is $355 million, payable in cash. In return, Man will be\u00a0entitled to benefit from, or bear the risk of, any change to the net asset value of the claims, with the\u00a0funds sharing upside in limited circumstances. Man will be entitled to the proceeds of each claim as and\u00a0when it is distributed by the relevant Lehman estate, although the precise timing of receipts is difficult to\u00a0determine given the complexity of the Lehman insolvencies.”<\/p>\n

In its 7 July Interim Management Statement, Man confirmed that it had a regulatory capital surplus of\u00a0around $900 million, net cash of around $900 million and total available liquidity resources of around\u00a0$4.8 billion. The regulatory capital impact of the transactions is expected to be around $50 million and\u00a0they are expected to have a negligible impact on Man’s net interest expense.<\/p>\n
