Man Group appoints Richard Berliand as Non-Executive Director

London, 19 January 2016 - Man Group plc is pleased to announce that Richard Berliand has been appointed as a non-executive director and member of the Board's Remuneration and Nomination Committees with immediate effect. It is intended that Mr Berliand will succeed Phillip Colebatch as Chair of the Remuneration Committee following the Company's 2016 Annual General Meeting.

Mr Berliand brings over 30 years of experience in the financial services sector to Man Group. He held senior roles at JP Morgan over a 23 year career at the bank, including as Global Head of Prime Services between 2001 and 2010 and Global Head of Cash Equities between 2006 and 2009. Mr Berliand also chaired JP Morgan's Market Structure practice from 2008 to 2010, from which he led and coordinated the firm's preparations for major structural changes after the 2008 financial crisis.

In addition to expertise gained in executive roles, Mr Berliand brings extensive experience from the diverse range of non-executive positions he has held across the globe, which give him a valuable understanding of the current regulatory environment. He serves on the CFTC Global Markets Advisory Committee in Washington D.C. He is Chairman of ITRS Global Holdings Limited in London and Deputy Chairman of Deutsche Börse AG in Frankfurt, where he also chairs the Risk Committee and Technology Committee. Mr Berliand's other non-executive directorships include Mako Europe and Rothesay Life Limited, where he serves on the Remuneration and Audit Committees.

Jon Aisbitt, Chairman of Man Group, said:

"We are delighted to welcome Richard Berliand to Man Group's Board. Richard's wealth of experience in financial services, and detailed understanding of the regulatory environment in which Man Group operates, will enable him to make a significant contribution to our Board. Richard has proven himself an intelligent and capable leader during an extremely challenging period for the industry, and he will be a highly valued adviser to our executive team."

There are no further disclosures to be made pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.13R in respect of Mr Berliand's appointment.
