Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     On August 9, 2010, GLG Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) released its earnings for the second fiscal quarter of 2010 and is filing a copy of the earnings release to the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

     Attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference is the Company’s investor presentation which, together with the press release, is posted on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.glgpartners.com. The information contained in Exhibit 99.2 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

     The Company presents certain financial measures, such as non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share (CBP), and non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares, that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in addition to financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
