GLG Partners, Inc.

GLG Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GLG) was a London-based alternative asset management firm that entered U.S. public markets in 2007 through a merger with Freedom Acquisition Holdings Corp., a blank-check company that had completed its own IPO in 2006. The S-1/A amendment filed in December 2007 supported the registration of shares in connection with the de-SPAC combination, which brought GLG's multi-strategy hedge fund platform into the financial services sector under public ownership. Freedom Acquisition Holdings served as the sponsoring vehicle for the transaction. GLG Partners was subsequently acquired by Man Group plc in 2010.
