Please note that the performance reported in this newsletter is preliminary and unaudited. *Performance Summary* - On a net basis, the Rohatyn Group Global Opportunity Fund, Ltd. returned an estimated -5.46% in May for Class A Series 1 non-new issue eligible shares and returned an estimated -4.42% for the year to date, with an estimated 12-month rolling return of -13.13%.1 On a net combined basis (which includes both Class A and S shares) the Fund returned an estimated -5.35% in May and returned an estimated -4.33% for the year to date, with an estimated 12-month rolling return of -13.00%.2 - While the turmoil in Europe and the prevailing risk-averse market sentiment weighed heavily on emerging markets, they faced the additional pressure of persistent doubt over the ability of Chinese policy makers to stimulate growth in light of weaker than expected economic performance data for April. - The portfolio’s directional equity and currency investments were the largest contributors to losses. Several of the portfolio’s equity strategies were predicated on our belief that the market was overestimating the degree of the slowdown in Chinese economic growth, and thus were particularly sensitive to the development of events in May. In currencies, two of our higher conviction positions, longs in the Mexican peso and Singapore dollar, were the largest contributors to losses as the fundamental case for appreciation in each was obscured by the high level of market risk aversion. - In May we sharply reduced risk, most notably in equity and currency strategies, and generally simplified the portfolio. Despite a significantly less constructive outlook than we held last month, we have refrained from adopting a more short-biased portfolio due to generally favorable valuations and technicals. We will likely maintain low levels of portfolio risk for the next few weeks due to the potentially binary nature of market outcomes on either side of the Greek elections.

Net performance returns shown herein reflect the estimated return of the Class A Series 1 Tranche Two non-new issues eligible shares of the offshore feeder fund and reflect reinvestment of dividends and interest. Net performance returns reflect expenses and the incentive allocations and management fees payable to the Manager and/or the Investment Manager. Performance shown herein does not include returns related to investments in "new issues". Investors who are eligible for participating in "new issues" (Class A Tranche One new issues eligible shares) may have different returns. The performance presented above does not include returns related to Special Investments as described in the Offering Memorandum. The cumulative performance rate of return indicated herein is for an investor admitted at inception of the Fund. The rate of return for an investor admitted after inception or who has added or withdrawn capital since such date or who has a different fee arrangement could differ from the returns reflected herein. Returns from cash and cash equivalents held in the Fund are included in the performance calculation. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. 2 Unaudited preliminary estimates calculated by TRG Management LP; final unaudited numbers will be provided to investors in the administrator's monthly report. The net combined returns presented are calculated using a time weighted rate of return and are net of all expenses and applicable management fees and incentive allocation accruals. This methodology shows the change to a hypothetical dollar invested at the beginning of a period ignoring the effects of the timing of any subsequent investments. The net combined returns presented here reflect the combined performance of an account that has been invested in Class A Tranche Two (non-new issue eligible) shares since inception of the Fund and has participated in all Special Investments. For any account invested after inception or that has not participated in all Special Investments, actual results may differ materially from these returns. There are other factors that will affect the performance of the Fund and should be considered in reviewing performance figures. First, incentive fees on Special Investments are charged when the investment is realized. The net combined returns presented here reflect incentive fees charged on Special Investments that have not been realized. Incentive fees on unrealized Special Investments are reflected as a monthly incentive accrual. Second, while expenses incurred in making an investment are often reflected entirely at the outset of the transaction, some investments are made in several tranches. Third, returns from cash and cash equivalents held in the Fund are included in the performance calculation. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
