Weiss & Lurie Announces Class Action Suit Against MF Global Ltd.

March 10 2008

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The law firm of Weiss & Lurie announces that on March 6, 2008, it filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of MF Global, Ltd., (“MF” or the “Company”) (NYSE:MF), in its Initial Public Offering on July 19, 2007 and on the open market through February, 28, 2008 (the “Class Period”).

Other law firms, who do not represent MF clients and have not filed lawsuits, but have sought to piggyback on the work done and complaint filed by Weiss & Lurie, have published misleading notices to solicit clients. Those notices are published by lawyers in search of litigation. This notice is being disseminated pursuant to federal law in order to advise shareholders of the actual filing of the lawsuit and their rights in connection therewith.

The complaint asserts claims against defendants MF, Man Group Plc, Kevin R. Davis, Amy S. Butte, Alison J. Carnwath, Christopher J. Smith, Christopher Bates, Henri J. Steenkamp and Edward L. Goldberg for violations of Sections 11, 12(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The complaint alleges that the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the IPO were materially false and misleading. The action is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as civil action number 08-cv-2233 before the Honorable Victor Marrero.

Plaintiff is represented by the law firm of Weiss & Lurie, which possesses significant experience and expertise in prosecuting class actions on behalf of shareholders in federal and state courts throughout the United States. Weiss & Lurie has been collectively responsible for recovering more than a billion dollars on behalf of class members.

If you bought MF securities between July 19, 2007 and February 28, 2008, you may move the court no later than May 9, 2008, to serve as a lead plaintiff of the class. To serve as a lead plaintiff, you must meet certain legal requirements. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. To be appointed a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as a “lead plaintiff.” Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Weiss & Lurie or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.
