** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The share options were granted to Ms. Butte on July 18, 2007 pursuant to the terms and conditions of the MF Global Ltd. 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan. Each share option represented the right to purchase one common share, par value $1.00 per share, of MF Global Ltd. (each, a "Common Share"). One-third of the share options were to vest on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date (becoming fully vested on the third anniversary of the grant date). In connection with Ms. Butte's resignation as an officer and director of the Company, the share options were cancelled on January 4, 2008.
(2) An aggregate of 71,900 of the share options described in note 1 above were previously contributed by Ms. Butte as a gift to an irrevocable trust for the benefit of her relatives and over which she exercised investment control. As a result, Ms. Butte previously reported these 71,900 share options as being indirectly owned by her, but she disclaimed beneficial ownership of such securities. As described in note 1, these share options were cancelled on January 4, 2008.
