UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

In re 

MF GLOBAL INC., 

Debtor. 

Case No. 11-2790 (MG) SIPA 

Commencement of Liquidation Proceeding

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on October 31, 2011 the Honorable Paul A. 

Engelmayer, Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, 

entered an Order granting the application of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation 

(“SIPC”) for issuance of a Protective Decree adjudicating that the customers of MF Global Inc. 

(the “Debtor”), are in need of the protection afforded by the Securities Investor Protection Act of 

1970 (“SIPA”). James W. Giddens (the “Trustee”) was appointed trustee for the liquidation of 

the business of the Debtor, and Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP was appointed as counsel to the 

Trustee. 

Deadlines for Submitting Claims

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that commodity futures customers of the Debtor 

must file their claims with the Trustee within SIXTY DAYS after the date of this Notice or their 

claim will be barred (unless extended, for good cause only). No extension for filing a 

commodity futures customer claim will be granted beyond the six-month period after the date of 

this Notice, regardless of cause. Commodity futures customer claims that are filed after the 

sixty-day period, but before the six-month period after this Notice may be afforded general 

creditor status. 

Securities customers of the Debtor who wish to avail themselves of the maximum 

protection afforded to them under SIPA are required to file their claims with the Trustee within 

SIXTY DAYS after the date of this Notice. Securities customers may file their claims up to six 

months after the date of this Notice; however, the filing of securities customer claims after the 

sixty-day period but within the six-month period may result in less protection for the securities 

customer under SIPA. 

All claims must be filed with the Trustee electronically online at 

www.mfglobaltrustee.com, OR sent to the Trustee via certified mail, return receipt requested to 

one of the following addresses: 

If by first class mail: 

MF Global Inc. Claims Processing Center

If by overnight mail:

Customer claims will be deemed filed only when received by the Trustee. Claims that are filed 

electronically must be received by 11:59 p.m. (Prevailing Eastern Time) on the bar date to be 

considered timely. 

Forms for the filing of customers’ claims are being mailed to customers of the 

Debtor as their names and addresses appear on the Debtor’s books and records. Customer claim 

forms are also available on the Trustee’s website, www.mfglobaltrustee.com, or by writing to the 

Trustee at the address of his counsel below. 

Claims by broker-dealers for the completion of open contractual securities 

commitments must be filed with the Trustee within sixty days after the date of this Notice. Such 

claims will be deemed to be filed only when received by the Trustee. 

All other creditors of the Debtor must file formal claims with the Trustee at the 

address shown above within SIX MONTHS after the date of this Notice. All such claims will 

be deemed filed only when received by the Trustee. 

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) claims of commodity futures customers must 

be received by the Trustee on or before January 31, 2012; (ii) claims of securities customers 

seeking the maximum protection under SIPA must be received by the Trustee on or before 

January 31, 2012; and (iii) all claims must be received by the Trustee on or before June 2, 

2012, or they will be absolutely barred. No commodity futures customer claim will be 

allowed unless received by the Trustee on or before January 31, 2012, or unless extended 

(for good cause only); but, if received by the Trustee after January 31, 2012, but on or 

before June 2, 2012, a commodity futures customer claim may be afforded general creditor 

status. 

 The Trustee has published protocols for certain transactional claims. These 

protocols should be reviewed carefully before submitting a claim to the Trustee, and are 

available at the Trustee’s website, www.mfglobaltrustee.com.

Automatic Stay Of Actions Against The Debtor

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that as a result of the issuance of the Protective 

Decree, certain acts and proceedings against the Debtor and its property are stayed as provided in

York, entered October 31, 2011 by the Honorable Paul A. Engelmayer.
