Item 1. Security and Issuer.

         This Amendment No. 4 ("Amendment No. 4") to the Schedule 13D dated
November 13, 2007, as amended to date (the "Schedule 13D"), jointly filed by
Noam Gottesman, the Gottesman GLG Trust and Leslie J. Schreyer, in his capacity
as trustee of the Gottesman GLG Trust (the "Gottesman Trustee") (each a
"Reporting Person"), relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share (the "Common Stock"), of GLG Partners, Inc., (the "Company"), and shares
of Series A voting preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company
("Series A Preferred Stock"), and Exchangeable Class B ordinary shares of FA Sub
2 Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and a subsidiary of the Company
("Exchangeable Shares"), and the Company's 5.00% dollar-denominated convertible
subordinated notes due May 15, 2014 (the "Notes"), which are exchangeable for or
convertible into shares of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock and the
Exchangeable Shares are referred to collectively as the "Exchangeable
Securities". This Amendment No. 4 is being filed to report the decrease in the
aggregate number of shares held by the parties to the Voting Agreement dated as
of June 22, 2007 and subject to the Voting Agreement, resulting from the
distributions by Sage Summit LP and Lavender Heights Capital LP (the
"Partnerships"), each a party to the Voting Agreement, of an aggregate of
1,999,077 and 1,332,719 shares of Common Stock of the Company, respectively, for
no consideration to certain of their respective limited partners upon the
satisfaction of certain vesting conditions under the partnership agreements of
the Partnerships. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 4, capitalized
terms have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

         The Company's principal executive office is located at 399 Park Avenue,
38th Floor, New York, New York 10022.


Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         Item 5 is amended to include the following information:

         (a) As a result of the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreement,
each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired beneficial
ownership of an aggregate of 159,623,805 shares (including Exchangeable
Securities exchangeable into 58,904,993 shares of Common Stock and 8,064,516
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of $30 million aggregate
principal amount of the Notes), which are owned directly by the parties to the
Voting Agreement or over which the parties to the Voting Agreement have the
power to vote (the "Subject Shares"). These Subject Shares represent
approximately 50.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (assuming the
exchange of all Exchangeable Securities into Common Stock and the conversion of
all $30 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes into Common Stock). The
Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of securities held by
any other person or entity party to the Voting Agreement.

         As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons have the following
interests in Common Stock, Exchangeable Securities and Notes:
