SUPPLEMENTAL FORM 8 (DERIVATIVE) DEALINGS/HOLDINGS IN DERIVATIVES (This form should be attached to Form 8.1, Form 8.1(b)(ii), Form 8.2 or Form 8.3, as appropriate) Description of all derivative products disclosed on this A Contract for Difference or CFD is an agreement betweenform two parties to exchange, at the close of the contract, the difference between the opening price and the closing price, multiplied by the number of reference shares specified within the contract. The reference shares are the underlying shares specified in the CFD. The economic performance of the CFD is determined by the performance of the underlying reference shares. Although CFDs replicate the price movement of the underlying reference shares, they convey no right or requirement to acquire or deliver the physical shares. The contract value of a CFD is defined as the number of reference shares specified in the contract, multiplied by the price of the underlying reference share. If a client of Man takes a long position, the client will make a profit if the contract value increases. Conversely, if a client of Man takes a short position, the client will benefit if the contract value falls. The CFD contracts detailed below are open-ended and without predetermined expiry/close value. A Spread Bet is a product whereby the client to whom the product is sold can realise a gain or a loss depending on whether the price of the underlying share increases above or falls below the reference price. A client's Spread bet position is described as the client's stake. A stake is expressed in pounds (sterling) per point and a point is the price in pence of the underlying shares. A client with a stake of £100 per point will make a gain of £100 for every penny increase in the underlying shares and the client has an exposure equivalent to holding 10,000 shares.
