WASHINGTON -- (Business Wire)

Finkelstein Thompson LLP is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of M&F Worldwide Corp. (“MFW” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MFW) concerning the proposed acquisition of the Company by MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, Inc. (“MacAndrews”). Under the terms of the offer, MacAndrews, which already holds 43% of the Company’s outstanding shares, is offering the MFW common shareholders $24.00 in cash for each share they own in a transaction valued at approximately $500 million.

The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the consideration to MFW shareholders, the process by which the Board of Directors considered the transaction, and potential conflicts of interests among MFW Board members. MFW’s stock closed at $26.38 as recently as April 7, 2011, and since the announcement the Company’s stock has traded above the $24.00 offer price.
