Senior Management Changes

The Board of Man Group plc today announces that, effective 1 April 2007, Group
Finance Director Peter Clarke will be appointed Group Chief Executive, and
present Chief Executive Stanley Fink will become non-executive Deputy Chairman.
Mr Fink will also retain his role as Chairman of the Strategic Investment
Committee of Man Investments. The Group will appoint a new Group Finance
Director in due course.

Mr Clarke joined Man Group in 1993 and has served in a variety of roles,
including Group Company Secretary. He was appointed to the Group Board in 1997
and became the Group Finance Director in 2000. In November 2005 he was given the
additional title of Group Deputy CEO.

Mr Fink joined Man Group in 1987, and served in a number of positions including
head of Man Investments before being appointed CEO in 2000. During his tenure as
CEO the firm has seen its investment funds under management grow from $4.7
billion to over $54 billion at 30 June 2006, while Group pretax profits have
risen to $1.2 billion.

Commenting on the changes, Harvey McGrath, Chairman of Man Group plc, said: 'The
Board considers that these appointments provide an excellent basis on which to
drive forward the continued growth of the Man Group and reflect a robust and
considered approach to the critical task of executive management succession. I
congratulate both Peter on his appointment and Stanley on the outstanding job he
has done as Chief Executive.

'Stanley has indicated to the Board his wishes to become non-executive, not
least in order to be able to commit more time to personal interests, in
particular his philanthropic activities. However, the Board is very pleased that
he has agreed to maintain two important roles within the firm.'

Stanley Fink said: 'I am delighted to have Peter as my successor as Chief
Executive. His enormous contribution to the success of the Group has been
clearly recognised both within the firm and in the market, and I have every
confidence that he will be a strong and effective leader of both our main
businesses. I look forward to continuing to add value to the business,
particularly regarding strategic investment decisions on the part of Man
Investments' main investment units.'

Peter Clarke said: 'I am excited to have the opportunity to lead the Group's
continued development. Man has established leading positions in both its
businesses and has an enormous pool of talent across the Group, led by Kevin
Davis at Man Financial and John Morrison at Man Investments. Stanley and I have
worked together at Man for 13 years and I am very pleased that we retain his
valuable contribution to the Group in the years ahead.'
