ZimCal is currently in a proxy contest to replace two Directors on MFIN’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) with two more highly qualified individuals.

Key Points:

ZimCal is currently in a proxy contest to replace two Directors on MFIN’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) with two more highly qualified individuals.
ZimCal ONLY benefits through an increase in the value of MFIN and if MFIN can implement the changes ZimCal is recommending, ZimCal believes that the upside potential for the Company is tremendous.
The Company has attempted to distract stockholders with speculation about ZimCal, its interests and its intentions.
We believe that MFIN’s executives should be compensated for core performance ONLY, which should exclude non-core, non-recurring items (mostly taxi medallion assets).
