(1) Each share option represents the right to purchase one common share, par value $1.00 per share of MF Global Ltd. (each, a "Common Share"). The share options will be subject to the terms and conditions of the MF Global Ltd. 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). One-third of the share options will 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). Each share option becomes exercisable upon vesting.
(2) An aggregate of 71,900 share options directly owned by Ms. Butte were contributed as a gift to an irrevocable trust for the benefit of Ms. Butte's relatives and over which Ms. Butte exercises investment control. As a result of Ms. Butte's relationship with the beneficiaries of the trust and the investment control that she exercises over the trust, Ms. Butte may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own such 71,900 share options. Ms. Butte disclaims ownership of these securities.
(3) Each restricted share unit represents a contingent right to receive one Common Share and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The restricted share units will vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date. Vested restricted share units will be delivered to the reporting person on the earlier of the sixth month anniversary of the vesting date or such other date as specified in the award agreement.
(4) An aggregate of 19,500 restricted share units directly owned by Ms. Butte were contributed as a gift to an irrevocable trust for the benefit of Ms. Butte's relatives. As a result of Ms. Butte's relationship with the beneficiaries of the trust and the investment control that she exercises over the trust, Ms. Butte may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own such 19,500 restricted share units. Ms. Butte disclaims ownership of these securities.
