ADDITIONAL SECURITIES LAW INFORMATION

Alternative Asset Management Acquisition Company (“AAMAC”) intends to file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement in connection with the proposed
acquisition of Halcyon Asset Management LLC and its affiliates (collectively “Halcyon”) and to mail a definitive proxy statement and other relevant
documents to AAMAC stockholders. AAMAC stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, AAMAC’s preliminary
proxy statement, and amendments thereto, and the definitive proxy statement in connection with AAMAC’s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting
to be held to approve the acquisition because these proxy statements will contain important information about Halcyon, AAMAC and the proposed
acquisition. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to AAMAC stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed
acquisition. Stockholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the preliminary and definitive proxy statements once they are available, without charge, at
the Securities Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) web site at http://www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: AAMAC, 590 Madison Avenue, 35th Floor,
New York, New York 10022, telephone: 212-409-2434.

AAMAC and its directors and officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to AAMAC’s stockholders. A list of the names of those
directors and officers and a description of their interests in AAMAC is contained in AAMAC’s prospectus dated August 1, 2007, which is filed with the
SEC, and will also be contained in AAMAC’s proxy statement when it becomes available. AAMAC’s stockholders may obtain additional information
about the interests of the directors and officers of AAMAC in the acquisition in reading AAMAC’s proxy statement and other materials to be filed with
the SEC when such information becomes available.

NON-GAAP FINANCIALS

The financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to the SEC’s Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, such
information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, AAMAC’s proxy statement to solicit stockholder
approval for the proposed acquisition of Halcyon. This presentation includes certain estimated financial information and forecasts presented as pro forma
financial measures that are not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and which may be deemed to be non-
GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. AAMAC and Halcyon believe that the presentation of these non-
GAAP financial measures serve to enhance the understanding of the financial performance of Halcyon and the proposed acquisition. However, these non-
GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as substitutes for or superior to financial measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our pro forma financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled pro forma measures reported by other
companies.

Why the Halcyon Structure Implies a Premium Multiple

How the Math Works:

For the traditional public hedge fund, assuming 12.0% net performance implies 60% of revenues come from
performance fees

To the extent management fees are valued at the same multiple as for traditional asset management
companies, the implied multiple for the performance fees is 9.7x

Blended multiple = % from management fees times management fee multiple + % from performance
fees times performance fee multiple

11.7x = 40% of management fee multiple + 60% of performance fee multiple

=> Performance fee multiple is 9.7x

In a structure like Halcyon’s, assuming the same 12.0% net performance power, 31% of net revenues come
from performance fees

Applying the 14.6x multiple for management fees and the 9.7x multiple for performance fees indicates a
blended multiple of 13.1x

69% of 14.6x + 31% of 9.7x = 13.1x

The Flagship Multi-Strategy Fund,  
Halcyon Fund L.P.

Halcyon Fund vs. S&P 500 January 1991 – February 2008

Past performance is no indication of future results. Other Halcyon funds may have different performance. Estimated performance data for Halcyon Fund, L.P. and S&P 500 is based on assumed reinvestment of all
dividends and other earnings. Estimated performance results are as of February 29, 2008 (based on audited financial statements through December 31, 2006 and unaudited figures from January 1, 2007 through
February 29, 2008) unless otherwise indicated. Reported returns reflect performance results of a typical investor participating in the fund since the beginning of the fund's fiscal year. Prior to July 2007, fund
performance data reflected the performance of the fund as a whole since the beginning of the current fiscal year; accordingly, performance data was impacted by subscriptions and redemptions. Future performance
data will reflect performance results of a typical investor participating in the fund since the beginning of the fund's fiscal year.
