Executive Summary EVERCORE PARTNERS#5Executive Summary 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 Confidential 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#6Executive Summary (cont'd) 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? Confidential • 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#7II.

Preliminary Situation Assessment EVERCORE PARTNERS#25Preliminary Situation Assessment Overview of the Role of the Special Committee and its Financial Advisor Upon being engaged by the Special Committee, Evercore will devote a focused, dedicated team to performing a rigorous due diligence investigation regarding the Company's current financial and operating performance, as well as the prospects of the business going forward Business unit leaders should provide input as to the potential risks and upside in the business plans / projections Detailed follow-up financial and operational due diligence meetings with operating executives will be essential The Special Committee, along with Evercore and the Committee's legal advisor, will need to work together to understand various strategic, operational and financial alternatives, transaction motivations and negotiating leverage of each side Confidential Majority of the Minority Vote ensures that only shareholders unaffiliated with the Chairman vote on the proposed transaction (e.g. ACS/Xerox), but is not enough to ensure the optimal outcome for public shareholders Evercore to present in a timely manner its evaluation of management's financial plan and valuation implications regarding various strategic alternatives, which may include: Reject the proposal and run the business: If unlikely to realize the intrinsic value of the business in a transaction today Engage with MF Holdings: If only likely to realize full intrinsic value through further negotiations with Mr. Perelman Aggressively seek alternatives: If intrinsic value can be realized and maximized through an alternative transaction and a strong stance is taken vis-à-vis Mr. Perelman Potential divestiture of certain businesses to "unlock" intrinsic value and provide incremental financial flexibility; spin-merge of certain businesses to capture pro rata share of synergy opportunity in combination with another business; and other possible alternatives ■ Formulate with the Special Committee and legal advisors the optimal response to MF Holdings EVERCORE PARTNERS 18#26Preliminary Situation Assessment Illustrative Process Framework

stand-alone, publicly traded entity Given MFW's unique and diversified asset/business mix, there are no perfect comparable companies We would triangulate value between multiple trading groups for each of the divisions, each of which have their respective pros and cons from a Company valuation perspective Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Used to estimate the intrinsic value of the business based on cash flow projections Highly sensitive to terminal year and discount rate assumptions DCF valuation will be an important tool to evaluate the relative attractiveness of the proposed offer to acquire the business against management's view of M&F's potential to continue to execute its stand- alone strategic plan Analysis of Selected Precedent Transactions Used to estimate the value of the business in a control transaction, and typically incorporates the value of synergies and "control premium" Given M&F's unique asset mix and shareholder structure, as well as the rapidly evolving markets in which it operates, there are no perfect precedent transaction benchmarks EVERCORE PARTNERS Also includes "premiums paid" benchmarking, to estimate a standard stock price premium for transactions of this nature Evaluation of the Company's standalone value is based on a mosaic of intrinsic and external methodologies including others beyond this list and not any one analysis in isolation Illustrative SOTP Analysis Sum of the Parts ("SOTP") Analysis can be performed to estimate the value of the Company were it to be broken up Potential tax considerations may be relevant Confidential 20 PV of Future Equity Used to estimate the long-term value to shareholders in the context of the Company remaining publicly traded Looks at the value created in the future by Management's business plan and then discounts it back to the present at a range of values for the Company's Cost of Equity LBO/Ability to Pay Analysis Used to estimate the value that a financial sponsor may be willing to pay for the business based on cash flow projections and required rates of return on equity Incorporates the specifics (size & cost) of a transaction's debt financing package The growth prospects of the business and exit opportunities perceived by a sponsor, as well as credit market conditions, will impact sponsor's ability to pay#28Preliminary Situation Assessment Representative Key Issues facing
