WHEREAS:

A. KHD’s business consists of two segments: (i) an industrial and engineering services business segment (the “Industrial and Engineering Services Business”), and (ii) a financial services business segment (the “Financial Services Business”);

B. KHD wishes to realign its business to focus on the expansion of the Industrial and Engineering Services Business and to pursue an active acquisition program to acquire other companies that will compliment such operations;

D. As part of the proposed distribution of the Financial Services Business, KHD wishes to transfer to MFC its interests in certain subsidiaries, which are involved or related to the Financial Services Business and not complimentary to the Industrial and Engineering Services Business and MFC wishes to transfer to KHD its interests in certain subsidiaries, which are complimentary to the Industrial and Engineering Services Business;

E. Each of the boards of directors of KHD and MFC has determined that the proposed distribution is expected to enhance the success of both KHD and MFC and is expected thereby to maximize shareholder value over the long-term for each company by enabling each company to continue to pursue its own focused strategy and enable investors to evaluate the financial performance, strategies and other characteristics of each of KHD and MFC separately in comparison to companies within their respective industries; and
