Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On May 20, 2008, JCF Fund II entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with MF Global Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“MFG Bermuda”), and on June 10, 2008, JCF Fund II entered into Amendment No.1 to the Investment Agreement with MFG Bermuda (the “Amendment” and, together with the Investment Agreement, the “Amended Investment Agreement”), wherein, among other things, (i) JCF Fund II agreed to purchase, or to cause its affiliates to purchase, not less than 1,500,000 and not more than 3,000,000 shares of MFG Bermuda’s preference shares, par value $1.00 per share, designated as 6% Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares, Series A (each a “MFG Series A Preference Share,” and collectively, the “MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares”) at a purchase price and liquidation preference of $100.00 per MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Share (the “Backstop Commitment”), and (ii) MFG Bermuda agreed to pay a fee in cash to JCF Fund II in exchange for the Backstop Commitment (the “Commitment Fee”). Prior to the Closing Date, MFG Bermuda had the right to issue and sell MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares or other securities in one or more private placements and/or offerings on terms no more favorable to the purchasers than those relating to the purchase pursuant to the Backstop Commitment.

Pursuant to the Amended Investment Agreement, MFG Bermuda agreed, in the event that prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date it sold common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of MFG Bermuda (“MFG Bermuda Common Stock”) or securities convertible into or exercisable for MFG Bermuda Common Stock at a price less than $12.50 (subject to limited exceptions), to pay to JCF Fund II an amount (in cash or shares of MFG Bermuda Common Stock) reflecting the difference in pricing (a “Make-Whole Payment”). In addition, MFG Bermuda agreed, in the event that prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or in any offering required under any future bank financings) it sold any other series of its preferred stock with a dividend rate above 5.45%, to adjust the dividend rate on the MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares beneficially owned by JCF Fund II or its affiliates so as to equal 110% of the dividend rate of such series of preference shares (an “Incremental Dividend Adjustment”). On June 25, 2008, as reported by MFG Bermuda on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 26, 2008, MFG Bermuda issued and sold (i) $150 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2038 and (ii) $150 million in aggregate liquidation preference of its 9.75% Non-Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares, Series B. As a result of the issuance of these securities, MFG Bermuda agreed (a) to pay to JCF Fund II and its affiliates on the Closing Date, in the form of a reduction of the amount otherwise payable by JCF Fund II and its affiliates on such date, Make-Whole Payments (including an amount in respect of the overall terms on which these other securities were issued) in an aggregate amount of $36.3 million (the “July Make-Whole Amount”) and (b) to increase the dividend rate on the MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares held by JCF Fund II or its affiliates to 10.725% (the “July Incremental Dividend Adjustment”). These matters were memorialized in letter agreements between MFG Bermuda and JCF Fund II dated June 27, 2008 (the “June Letter Agreement”) and July 17, 2008 (the “July Letter Agreement”).

On July 18, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Amended Investment Agreement, (i) JCF Fund II paid an aggregate purchase price of $106,729,100 to acquire 1,067,291 MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares, (ii) JCF Fund II-A paid an aggregate purchase price of $6,732,200 to acquire 67,322 MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares, (iii) JCF Fund II-B paid an aggregate purchase price of $6,538,700 to acquire 65,387 MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares and (iv) FSO paid an aggregate purchase price of $30,000,000 to acquire 300,000 MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares.

Such purchase price amounts were funded by (i) funds obtained from the respective JCF Fund’s equity partners pursuant to commitments made by such equity partners for the purpose of making private equity and related investments, (ii) the Commitment Fee, and (iii) the July Make-Whole Amount.

As reported by the Issuer on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 4, 2010, on January 4, 2010 (the “Effective MFG Domestication Date”), MFG Bermuda (i) changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Bermuda to the State of Delaware, (ii) discontinued its existence as a Bermuda exempted company and continued its existence as a corporation organized in the State of Delaware and (iii) changed its legal name from MF Global Ltd. to MF Global Holdings Ltd. (such transaction, the “MFG Domestication”). In the MFG Domestication, (A) each share of MFG Bermuda Common Stock was automatically converted by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Common Stock and (B) each MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Share was automatically converted by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into a Series A Preferred Share. Consequently, immediately following the MFG Domestication, by operation of law, (1) JCF Fund II held of record 1,067,291 Series A Preferred Shares, (2) JCF Fund II-A held of record 67,322 Series A Preferred Shares, (3) JCF Fund II-B held of record 65,387 Series A Preferred Shares and (4) FSO held of record 300,000 Series A Preferred Shares.

On February 3, 2010 (the “Transfer Date”), (i) pursuant to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of JCF MFG Holdco, dated as of February 3, 2010 (the “LLC Agreement”), by and among JCF II-A L.P., as the sole manager of JCF MFG Holdco, and the JCF Funds, as the members of JCF MFG Holdco, each of the JCF Funds transferred the Series A Preferred Shares held by it to JCF MFG Holdco in exchange for a pro rata interest in JCF MFG


Holdco and (ii) pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2010 (the “Transfer Agreement”), by and among JCF MFG Holdco, JCF Fund II and the Issuer, JCF MFG Holdco (x) agreed to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of Article IV of the Investment Agreement (and Article V of the Investment Agreement relevant thereto) with respect to the transferred Series A Preferred Shares, and (y) agreed to assume the rights and obligations of JCF Fund II under the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below).

Under the LLC Agreement, JCF II-A L.P., as the sole manager of JCF MFG Holdco, has the exclusive power and authority to make decisions (including decisions regarding the disposition of the Series A Preference Shares) on behalf of JCF MFG Holdco; provided that JCF II-A, L.P., in its capacity as sole manager of JCF MFG Holdco, must consult with the JCF Funds, as members of JCF MFG Holdco, in advance with respect to the voting of the Series A Preferred Shares.

This Amendment No. 1 to the Statement is being filed (i) to reflect the transfer of direct beneficial ownership of the Series A Preferred Shares from the JCF Funds to JCF MFG Holdco; (ii) to reflect the transfer of dispositive power from the JCF Funds to JCF MFG Holdco and the person or persons who control JCF MFG Holdco and JCF II-A L.P. as sole manager of JCF MFG Holdco; and (iii) to add JCF MFG Holdco to the Reporting Persons that filed the original Statement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Investment Agreement, the Amendment, the June Letter Agreement, the July Letter Agreement, the Transfer Agreement and the LLC Agreement are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are incorporated by reference as Exhibit 7.01, Exhibit 7.02, Exhibit 7.03 and Exhibit 7.04, and attached as Exhibit 7.07 and Exhibit 7.08, respectively, to this Statement, and which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

As described more fully above, (i) pursuant to the terms of the Amended Investment Agreement, on the Closing Date, the JCF Funds purchased a total of 1,500,000 MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares (the “Purchase”) and (ii) in connection with the MFG Domestication, on the Effective MFG Domestication Date, the MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares held by the JCF Funds were automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into Series A Preferred Shares.

The JCF Funds acquired the MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares because of the belief that the MFG Bermuda Series A Preferred Shares represent an attractive investment. The transfer of the Series A Preferred Shares to JCF MFG Holdco pursuant to the LLC Agreement was effected to streamline tax compliance following the MFG Domestication. The Reporting Persons beneficially own the Series A Preferred Shares for investment purposes.

On the Closing Date, MFG Bermuda filed a current report on Form 8-K stating that the Purchase had closed. MFG Bermuda stated therein that the net proceeds from the Purchase were used to repay a portion of MFG Bermuda’s bridge loan facility pursuant to its capital plan. The Purchase and the Amended Investment Agreement resulted or may result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D promulgated under the Exchange Act, including the acquisition or disposition of additional securities of the Issuer, as successor to MFG Bermuda, a change to the board of directors of the Issuer , as successor to MFG Bermuda, or a change to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, as successor to MFG Bermuda, as briefly described below.

The responses set forth in Item 3 are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

Amended Investment Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Investment Agreement, JCF Fund II designated Mr. David Schamis to be appointed to the board of directors of MFG Bermuda and MFG Bermuda took all corporate and other actions necessary, including increasing the size of the board of directors of MFG Bermuda, as applicable, to appoint Mr. Schamis to the board of directors of MFG Bermuda promptly following MFG Bermuda’s annual meeting of its members scheduled for July 28, 2008 (the “2008 Annual Meeting”). Subject to certain share ownership requirements described in the Amended Investment Agreement, the Issuer, as successor to MFG Bermuda, is required to take all corporate and other actions necessary, including increasing the size of the board of directors of the Issuer, as applicable, to nominate up to two directors designated by JCF Fund II at each annual meeting of its shareholders and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such nominees to be elected.

Series A Preferred Shares

The Series A Series A Preferred Shares transferred by the JCF Funds to JCF MFG Holdco pursuant to the LLC Agreement are convertible at any time (as described in Section 7 of the Certificate of Designations) at an initial conversion


rate of 8 shares of Common Stock per Series A Preferred Share (subject to adjustment). In connection with any conversion, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to receive any accumulated, unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares.

As set forth in the Certificate of Designations, dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares are payable quarterly, on a cumulative basis, if, as and when declared by the Issuer’s board of directors out of legally available funds, commencing with the dividend period relating to the dividend payment date on August 15, 2008, at an annual rate of 6% of the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Shares (as adjusted by the July Incremental Dividend Adjustment and any additional Incremental Dividend Adjustments with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares beneficially owned by JCF Fund II and its affiliates). Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to participate in any dividends (other than dividends in shares of Common Stock) paid on the shares of Common Stock, on an as-converted basis. The Issuer may pay quarterly dividends in the form of cash or shares of Common Stock (valued at 95% of the then-current market value), at its option. Dividends that are not declared and paid accumulate and accrue dividends at the annual rate of 6% (as adjusted by the July Incremental Dividend Adjustment and any additional Incremental Dividend Adjustments with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares beneficially owned by JCF Fund II and its affiliates). The Issuer is prohibited from paying any dividend with respect to shares of Common Stock and from repurchasing or redeeming shares of Common Stock or other junior securities, subject to certain exceptions, unless full accumulated dividends are paid on the Series A Preferred Shares.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to vote with the holders of Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock, which includes the right to vote for the election of directors at any annual meeting, voting together with the common shareholders as a single class on an as-converted basis. Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are also entitled to vote, to the exclusion of the holders of Common Stock, on certain matters that affect the rights and privileges of the Series A Preferred Shares. Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have the right, together with other parity securities having similar voting rights, to elect two directors if dividends have not been paid in full for six quarterly dividend periods.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares will have the right to receive a liquidation distribution out of any assets available for distribution after payments to creditors, and before any distribution in respect of shares of Common Stock, in an amount equal to the greater of (1) the liquidation preference amount ($100 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends) and (2) the amount such holders would receive if they had converted their Series A Preferred Shares into common shares prior to liquidation.

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Designations is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designations, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 7.05 to this Statement, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, MFG Bermuda entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement “), with JCF Fund II, with respect to (i) the MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares acquired by the JCF Funds in the Purchase, (ii) the shares of MFG Bermuda Common Stock (x) into which such MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares may have been converted and (y) issued by MFG Bermuda upon payment of dividends in respect of such MFG Bermuda Series A Preference Shares and (iii) any securities, including Series A Preferred Shares, issued in respect of the securities set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) by way of share dividend or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization and any securities, including shares of Common Stock, into which such securities may be converted or which may be issued as payment of dividends in respect thereof (collectively, the “Registrable JCF Securities”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer, as successor to MFG Bermuda, is obligated, subject to certain exceptions, upon JCF Fund II’s request, to file registration statements to cover the resale of the Registrable JCF Securities. The Registration Rights Agreement also entitles JCF Fund II to register the Registrable JCF Securities if the Issuer files registration statements to register shares of Common Stock or any other of the Issuer’s securities, either on its own accord or at the request of another holder. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, JCF MFG Holdco is deemed to be JCF Fund II for purposes of the Registration Rights Agreement and has assumed the rights and obligations of JCF Fund II under the Registration Rights Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 7.06 to this Statement, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
