I. Executive Summary EVERCORE PARTNERS

 


 

(GRAPHIC)
Executive Summary Confidential Evercore is pleased to present this proposal to advise the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of M&F Worldwide Corp (“M&F” or the “Company”). In this presentation, we provide a roadmap for who and how we would work with the Special Committee in response to the proposal submitted by MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings (“MF Holdings”) The Company’s current situation highlights the need for an independent Special Committee advisor with deep experience in similar situations — Mr. Perelman’s significant existing ownership position and current proposal — The dual role of certain executives — Significant scrutiny and likely litigation — Limited market understanding regarding the future financial performance of the Company Evercore is uniquely positioned to serve as financial advisor to the Special Committee and ensure that the process is designed to both maximize shareholder value and to minimize any legal challenges — We will commit dedicated senior professional resources to ensure that the Special Committee is in a position to respond efficiently and effectively to the proposal — We have committed a team with vast industry knowledge across all of the Company’s multiple sectors — We have significant and highly relevant Special Committee experience managing complex shareholder and management dynamics — We are independent and have no conflicts of interest nor history with Perelman-controlled entities EVERCORE PARTNERS 1

 


 

(GRAPHIC)
Executive Summary (cont’d) Confidential There are two fundamental questions that will frame the optimal process by which the Special Committee will maximize shareholder value: — Can effective competition be created when the largest shareholder declares he is a “buyer but not a seller”? There are multiple effective mechanisms to assess value even where a full market test is impractical — What leverage does the Special Committee have in the absence of effective competition? Saying “no” Majority of the Minority Vote Potential exploration of alternative paths to value creation, such as breaking up the Company or sale of selected assets The optimal response to the proposal will be a function of the standalone prospects of the Company as well as the attractiveness of the Company’s businesses to others — In determining the optimal response, it is critical that the Special Committee maintain control of the process — The true prospects of the Company can only be evaluated based on a thorough review of the Company’s businesses Evercore will dedicate the resources to perform a comprehensive and efficient “bottoms-up” analysis to determine intrinsic value Evercore has recent experience in successfully navigating through and around any management conflicts and/or obstacles (e.g. infoGROUP) We are excited by the prospect of working closely with you and would welcome the opportunity to formally introduce the team and share our perspectives EVERCORE PARTNERS 2
