The issuer advises that the following replaces the AGM statement released today
at 0700 under RNS number 4134Y. In paragraph two the date of 31 March 2001
should have read 31 March 2002. All other details remain unchanged. The full
amended text appears below.
AGM STATEMENT
Harvey McGrath, Chairman of Man Group plc, the financial services group, will
make the following comments at today's Annual General Meeting.
'Group funds under management at today's date are estimated to be around $21
billion. This total includes $9 billion for RMF, up from $8.5 billion, and $11.9
billion for the balance of Man Investment Products, up from $10.7 billion at 31
March 2002. The increased level of Group funds under management will continue to
underpin a significantly higher run-rate of net management fee income than last
year.
Demand for our fund products continues to be strong, both from private clients
and institutions. The increase in funds under management due to sales in the
three months to 30 June was around $1 billion, which includes the latest retail
product launches, Man AP Strategic 2 Ltd and OM-IP 220 Limited Series 7, both of
which closed in June and raised around US$140 million and US$110 million
respectively.
Investment performance from AHL has been particularly strong recently with the
weighted average of all AHL funds recording net returns of 10.8% for the three
months to 30 June. One third of the AHL range of products is now at, or very
close to, performance fee highs. Glenwood and most of our other managers remain
at, or close to, performance fee highs.
The integration of RMF, our recently acquired Swiss based provider of
alternative products, has commenced smoothly.
Man's brokerage division, Man Financial, also continues to perform well
particularly in its core Financial Futures, Energy, Metals and Foreign Exchange
activities.'

Notes to Editors
• The next global launch of a structured product will be Man-IP 220 (Series
4) Ltd, which will be open for investment on the 26 August 2002.
• Man will release the price of representative AHL funds on a weekly and
monthly basis through RNS. It should be noted that the majority of the
products that include AHL are priced on a monthly basis and it is this
pricing, therefore, that forms the basis of the majority of performance
fees. However, the weekly funds give a more up-to-date indication of the
progress of AHL. It should also be noted that whilst the funds that will be
reported have been chosen to be indicative of the typical AHL fund, the
performance of the individual funds do vary. The weekly funds are priced
based on the close of business each Monday and the price will be published
after close of business London time on Tuesday of each week. The monthly
funds are priced at the close of business on the last business day of each
month and the price will be released at 7am on the third business day of
each month.
