Man Canada AHL Alpha Fund Announces Final Settlement of Forward Agreement

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 28, 2014) - Man Investments Canada Corp. (the "Manager"), in its capacity as the trustee and manager of Man Canada AHL Alpha Fund (the "Fund"), announced the scheduled final settlement of the Fund's forward agreement (the "Forward Agreement") effective May 27, 2014 (the "Forward Date") in accordance with the terms of the Forward Agreement.

The Fund was created to obtain exposure to the returns of a diversified portfolio of financial instruments across a range of global markets including currencies, bonds, stocks, energy, metals, agricuturals and interest rates (the "Underlying Assets") managed by AHL Partners LLP (the "Investment Manager") using a multi-strategy trading program (the "AHL Alpha Programme").

Prior to the Forward Date, the Fund obtained exposure through the Forward Agreement to the Underlying Assets, which were acquired and maintained within a segregated portfolio of AHL Investment Strategies SPC (the "AHL SPC - Class C"), a segregated portfolio company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands. The character conversion measure announced in the Federal Government's Economic Action Plan 2013 prevents investment funds, including the Fund, from extending the term of existing derivative forward agreements, including the Forward Agreement, after March 20, 2013. As a result, after the Forward Date, the Fund will not be able to obtain exposure to the Underlying Assets through the Forward Agreement or other specified derivative.

The Fund will deliver its common share portfolio to the counterparty in connection with final settlement of the Forward Agreement. Following the settlement of the Forward Agreement, and subject to receipt of the requisite exemptions from Canadian securities regulatory authorities, the Fund will use the proceeds realized by the Fund on the settlement of the Forward Agreement to purchase and hold securities of Man AHL DP Limited in order to obtain exposure to the Underlying Assets. Man AHL DP Limited is an investment company with limited liability incorporated as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands. Man AHL DP Limited will acquire and maintain the Underlying Assets, which will be managed by the Investment Manager in accordance with substantially the same investment objectives, restrictions and strategies as those of the AHL SPC - Class C prior to the Forward Date.
