HARLAND CLARKE HOLDINGS CORP.
REPORTS THIRD QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE 2008 RESULTS

Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. to Participate in M & F Worldwide Corp.
Conference Call on November 12, 2008

     Decatur, GA — November 3, 2008 — Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. (“Harland Clarke Holdings” or the “Company”) today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008. In addition to the Harland Clarke Holdings quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today, Harland Clarke Holdings’ financial results are also consolidated in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed today by M & F Worldwide Corp. (NYSE: MFW), which is the indirect parent company of Harland Clarke Holdings.

     M & F Worldwide will host a conference call to discuss its third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008 results on November 12, 2008, at 9:00 a.m. (EST). The conference call will be accessible by dialing (800) 288-8960 in the U.S. and (612) 234-9960 internationally. For those unable to listen live, a replay of the call will be available by dialing (800) 475-6701 in the U.S. and (320) 365-3844 internationally; Access Code: 965757. The replay will be available from 11:00 a.m. (EST) Wednesday, November 12, 2008, through 11:59 p.m. (EST) Wednesday, November 26, 2008.

     As previously announced, on May 1, 2007, M & F Worldwide Corp. completed the acquisition of John H. Harland Company (“Harland”) and related financing transactions. Upon the completion of the acquisition, Harland became a wholly owned subsidiary of Clarke American Corp., which was then renamed Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. As a result of the acquisition of Harland (the “Harland Acquisition”), Harland Clarke Holdings has three business segments: Harland Clarke (which is the combination of Clarke American Corp.’s check printing, contact center and direct marketing capabilities with Harland’s corresponding businesses), Harland Financial Solutions and Scantron.

     On February 22, 2008, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Scantron Corporation, purchased all of the limited liability membership interests of Data Management I LLC (“Data Management”) from NCS Pearson (the “Data Management Acquisition”).

     Operating results of the Company include the results of acquired businesses from their respective dates of acquisition.

     In connection with the Harland Acquisition, Harland Clarke disclosed its pro forma anticipated run-rate synergy target of $106.4 million to be achieved within 18 months of the Harland Acquisition and $112.6 million within 24 months of the Harland Acquisition. Through September 30, 2008, Harland Clarke Holdings has exceeded the previously disclosed 18-month synergy plan, having taken actions to achieve approximately $110.2 million of its Harland Acquisition related synergy targets. As a result of these actions, Harland Clarke Holdings has realized approximately $26.2 million and $82.2 million of EBITDA improvement in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The incremental year-over-year impact of these actions was $15.3 million and $52.2 million of EBITDA improvement in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

Third Quarter 2008 Performance

Consolidated Results

     Consolidated net revenues increased by $21.2 million to $454.0 million in the third quarter of 2008 from $432.8 million in the third quarter of 2007, as a result of the Data Management Acquisition, which

1

accounted for an increase of $26.1 million. Net income for the third quarter of 2008 was $15.5 million, as compared to $7.5 million for the third quarter of 2007. The net income for the third quarter of 2008 includes pre-tax charges of $2.1 million ($1.3 million after tax) for compensation expense related to an incentive agreement for the Peldec assets purchase, which was completed in August 2007, $1.4 million ($0.9 million after tax) for restructuring costs and $0.4 million ($0.2 million after tax) for non-cash fair value purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue related to the Harland and Data Management acquisitions. The net income for the third quarter of 2007 includes pre-tax charges of $4.0 million ($2.4 million after tax) for non-cash fair value purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue and inventory related to the Harland Acquisition, $3.1 million ($1.9 million after tax) due to an impairment of Alcott Routon intangible assets, $2.0 million ($1.2 million after tax) for restructuring costs and $0.8 million ($0.5 million after tax) for compensation expense related to an incentive agreement for the Peldec assets purchase. For the third quarter of 2008, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.8 million to $116.0 million as compared to $114.2 million for the third quarter of 2007. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is defined in the footnotes to this release and is reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the accompanying financial tables.

Segment Results

     Net revenues from the Harland Clarke segment decreased by $9.7 million to $322.7 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $332.4 million in the third quarter of 2007. The decline is primarily a result of decreased unit volume, partially offset by one extra production day in the third quarter of 2008 and higher revenues per unit. Operating income for the Harland Clarke segment increased by $1.6 million to $57.0 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $55.4 million for the third quarter of 2007, largely driven by labor cost reductions and the extra production day, partially offset by lower volumes and increases in delivery expenses. Operating income in the third quarter of 2008 includes a charge of $0.6 million for restructuring costs. Operating income in the third quarter of 2007 includes a $3.1 million non-cash impairment charge from the write down of Alcott Routon intangible assets, $2.0 million of restructuring costs and $0.2 million for non-cash fair value purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue related to the Harland Acquisition.

     Net revenues from the Harland Financial Solutions segment increased by $5.3 million to $72.8 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $67.5 million in the third quarter of 2007. The increase includes $2.3 million of organic growth in the risk management and enterprise solutions product lines. Net revenues also include charges of $0.1 million and $3.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for non-cash fair value purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue related to the Harland Acquisition. Operating income for the Harland Financial Solutions segment increased by $1.2 million to $8.0 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2007, primarily due to the revenue increase and labor cost reductions, partially offset by a $2.4 million increase in amortization of intangible assets related to the Harland Acquisition. Operating income for the Harland Financial Solutions segment for the third quarter of 2008 also includes charges of $2.1 million for compensation expense related to an incentive agreement for the Peldec assets purchase, and $0.1 million for restructuring costs. Operating income for the Harland Financial Solutions segment for the third quarter of 2007 includes a charge of $0.8 million for compensation expense related to an incentive agreement for the Peldec assets purchase.

     Net revenues from the Scantron segment increased by $25.2 million to $58.6 million for the third quarter of 2008, from $33.4 million in the third quarter of 2007 as a result of the Data Management Acquisition, which accounted for an increase of $26.1 million. Operating income for the Scantron segment increased by $1.5 million to $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2008 from $7.5 million in the third quarter of 2007. The increase is due to the Data Management Acquisition, which accounted for an increase of $3.8 million, partially offset by integration expenses. Operating income for the Scantron segment for the third quarter of 2008 includes charges of $0.3 million for non-cash fair value purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue related to the Data Management Acquisition and $0.7 million

2

for restructuring costs. Operating income for the Scantron segment for the third quarter of 2007 includes charges of $0.7 million for non-cash fair value purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue and inventory related to the Harland Acquisition.

Year-To-Date 2008 Performance

Consolidated Results

     Consolidated net revenues increased by $418.9 million to $1,355.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $937.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, primarily as a result of the Harland Acquisition, which accounted for $345.1 million of the increase, and the Data Management Acquisition, which accounted for $62.7 million of the increase. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $37.3 million, as compared to a net loss of $24.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 includes pre-tax charges of $7.2 million ($4.4 million after tax) for compensation expense related to an incentive agreement for the Peldec assets purchase, $6.7 million ($4.1 million after tax) for restructuring costs, $2.6 million ($1.6 million after tax) for non-cash fair value purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue and inventory related to the Harland and Data Management acquisitions and $0.5 million ($0.3 million after tax) due to an impairment of Alcott Routon intangible assets. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 includes pre-tax charges of $12.6 million ($7.7 million after tax) for non-cash fair value purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue and inventory related to the Harland Acquisition, $4.9 million ($3.0 million after tax) for restructuring costs, $3.1 million ($1.9 million after tax) due to an impairment of Alcott Routon intangible assets, $2.4 million ($1.4 million after tax) for Harland Acquisition-related retention bonuses for certain Harland employees, and $0.8 million ($0.5 million after tax) for compensation expense related to an incentive agreement for the Peldec assets purchase. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 also includes a non-recurring pre-tax loss on early extinguishment of debt of $54.6 million ($34.1 million after tax) related to refinancing transactions completed in connection with the Harland Acquisition. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $104.8 million to $342.5 million as compared to $237.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Segment Results

     Net revenues from the Harland Clarke segment increased by $210.5 million to $983.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $773.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as a result of the Harland Acquisition, which accounted for an increase of $210.9 million. Volume decline was substantially offset by increased revenues per unit. Operating income for the Harland Clarke segment increased by $50.6 million to $173.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $122.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, primarily due to the Harland Acquisition, which accounted for $38.1 million of the increase. The remaining $12.5 million of the increase is primarily due to labor and material cost reductions partially offset by lower volume, increased delivery and integration expenses, and a change in vacation policy. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 also includes charges of $1.4 million for restructuring costs and a $0.5 million non-cash impairment charge from the write-down of Alcott Routon intangible assets. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 includes charges of $4.9 million for restructuring costs, a $3.1 million non-cash impairment charge from the write-down of Alcott Routon intangible assets and $1.9 million for non-cash fair value purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue and inventory related to the Harland Acquisition.

The remaining $10.4 million of the increase is in part due to organic growth of $5.5

3

million in the risk management and enterprise solutions product lines. Net revenues also include charges of $1.3 million and $6.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for non-cash fair value purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue related to the Harland Acquisition.

The remaining $3.2 million is primarily due to the revenue increase and labor cost reductions. Operating income for the Harland Financial Solutions segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 also includes charges of $7.2 million for compensation expense related to an incentive agreement for the Peldec assets purchase and $3.0 million for restructuring costs. Operating income for the Harland Financial Solutions segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 also includes a charge of $0.8 million for compensation expense related to an incentive agreement for the Peldec assets purchase.

     You should read carefully the factors described in Harland Clarke Holdings’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 for a description of risks that could, among other things, cause actual results to differ from these forward looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

     In this release, Harland Clarke Holdings presents certain adjusted financial measures that are not calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures are designed to complement the GAAP financial information presented in this release because management believes they present information regarding Harland Clarke Holdings that management believes is useful to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures presented should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measure.

     EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (other than amortization related to contract acquisition payments). Harland Clarke Holdings presents EBITDA because it believes it is an important measure of its performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in Harland Clarke Holdings’ industries.

     Harland Clarke Holdings believes EBITDA provides useful information with respect to its ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and overall operating performance, although EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Harland

5

Clarke Holdings utilizes EBITDA when interpreting operating trends and results of operations of its business.

     Harland Clarke Holdings also uses EBITDA for the following purposes: Harland Clarke Holdings’ senior credit facilities use EBITDA (with additional adjustments) to measure compliance with financial covenants such as debt incurrence. Harland Clarke Holdings’ executive compensation is based on EBITDA (with additional adjustments) performance measured against targets. EBITDA is also widely used by Harland Clarke Holdings and others in its industry to evaluate and value potential acquisition candidates. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. See below for a description of these limitations. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to Harland Clarke Holdings to invest in the growth of its business.

     In addition, in evaluating EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future Harland Clarke Holdings may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating it. Harland Clarke Holdings’ presentation of this measure should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

     EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• it does not reflect Harland Clarke Holdings’ cash expenditures and future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Harland Clarke Holdings’ working capital needs;

• it does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on Harland Clarke Holdings’ debt;

• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

• it is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in Harland Clarke Holdings’ statements of cash flows; and

• other companies in Harland Clarke Holdings’ industries may calculate EBITDA differently from Harland Clarke Holdings, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

     Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of Harland Clarke Holdings’ business or as a measure of cash that will be available to Harland Clarke Holdings to meet its obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on Harland Clarke Holdings’ GAAP results and using EBITDA only supplementally.

     Harland Clarke Holdings presents Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. Harland Clarke Holdings prepares Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting EBITDA to reflect the impact of a number of items it does not consider indicative of Harland Clarke Holdings’ ongoing operating performance. Such items include, but are not limited to, loss on early extinguishment of debt, restructuring costs, deferred purchase price compensation related to the Peldec assets purchase and non-recurring purchase accounting adjustments. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons Harland Clarke Holdings considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to all of the limitations applicable to EBITDA. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future, Harland Clarke Holdings may incur expenses, including cash expenses, similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Harland Clarke

Holdings’ presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
