Maria Boyazny Launches MB Global Partners in Partnership With G2 Investment Group

NEW YORK, October 25, 2010 - Maria Boyazny announced today the launch of MB Global Partners in
partnership with G2 Investment Group, a firm which provides investment
management, advisory and other financial services to institutional investors
and private clients around the world.

MB Global Partners will capitalize on the credit dislocations and
distressed opportunities created by the global financial crisis.

"This is a decade of credit, as financial institutions and governments
around the world are forced to refinance their LBO, real estate and sovereign
debt. We will implement a number of innovative concepts to take our credit
business to a new level," said Boyazny.

Boyazny has been the Portfolio Manager of US$4.5 billion in assets across
Siguler Guff's Distressed Opportunities Funds I, II, III and IV since the
funds' inception ten years ago.

Boyazny is a well-recognized expert in the field of credit and distressed
securities, and the author of several publications, as well as a frequent
conference speaker and media commentator.

"Maria has an unparalleled track record in credit and distressed
securities" said Todd Morley, Chairman of G2 Investment Group. "MB Global
Partners will become a powerful way for investors to get exposure to a broad
set of credit dislocation opportunities."

G2 Investment Group is an independent, privately-owned financial services
firm established by Todd Morley and partners. G2 has over 50 professionals
offering investment management, advisory, and other financial services to
institutional and private clients around the world. Prior to founding G2,
Morley was co-founder of Guggenheim Partners, a financial services firm with
over US$140 billion of assets under supervision.

MB Global Partners will run an innovative multi-manager platform focused
on an array of credit dislocation and distressed strategies, both by
allocating capital to other managers and direct investments. The platform
will encompass all asset classes - corporate debt, residential mortgage debt,
commercial real estate and other hard assets and special situations around
the world.

MB Global Partners will be a woman-owned business with broad backing
among investors including pension funds, foundations and multi-billion dollar
family offices.
