Glass Lewis Recommends DFC Global Corp. Stockholders Vote “FOR” Proposed Acquisition

Second Proxy Advisory Firm Supports Lone Star Merger

Lone Star Merger Provides Immediate, Certain Cash Value, and Transfers All Business Risks and Regulatory Uncertainties to the Acquiror

Board Unanimously Urges Stockholders to Vote FOR Transaction, Which Provides Immediate Cash Value

DFC Global Corp. (NASDAQ:DLLR) (“DFC Global” or “the Company”), a leading international diversified financial services company serving primarily unbanked and under-banked consumers for over 30 years, today announced that Glass Lewis, a leading independent proxy voting and corporate governance advisory firm, recommends that DFC Global stockholders vote “FOR” the proposed transaction with an affiliate of Lone Star Funds (“Lone Star”) at DFC Global’s special meeting of stockholders scheduled for June 6, 2014.

In recommending that DFC Global stockholders vote “FOR” the proposed transaction, Glass Lewis stated in its May 27, 2014 report:

“…the board appears to us to have conducted a relatively extensive sales process prior to executing the proposed merger agreement with Lone Star. Since early 2012, the Company has reached out to at least 44 different potential buyers, with Lone Star being the only party interested in pursuing a deal beyond the preliminary stages.”

“…based on our review of the Company’s historical trading multiples and the analyses in the adviser’s fairness opinion, and after taking into account the adverse market conditions the Company faces, we believe that the proposed consideration offers shareholders a relatively reasonable valuation and greater certainty of value for their DFC common shares.”

“It’s also worth pointing out that for all but one of the trading days since the deal was first announced, the Company’s stock price has closed below the proposed purchase price, with an average arbitrage spread of 1.6%. This suggests to us that most investors feel that the proposed merger likely represents the best opportunity available to the Company at this time.”

“Based on these factors, the unanimous support of the board, and absent a higher competing bid from another party, we believe that the proposed merger is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders at this time. Accordingly, we recommend that shareholders vote FOR this proposal.”*

In addition, the Glass Lewis report specifically addresses certain claims made by Royal Capital Management, LLC (“RCM”), one of DFC Global’s stockholders, made in a public letter issued on April 23, 2014:

“…as far as we can gather, the Company appears to us to have been acting in good faith in terms of coming up with earnings estimates that it believed would reasonably reflect the Company’s prospects. After review, we do not agree with RCM’s assertion that management simply adjusted its earnings estimates downward to justify the proposed merger, particularly considering that the Company had a higher offer from Lone Star on the table before the March 2014 adjustment was made.”

Commenting on the Glass Lewis report, DFC Global issued the following statement:

“We are pleased that Glass Lewis recognizes the robust sale process conducted by the DFC Global Board of Directors and supports the pending transaction. Glass Lewis recognizes the proposed transaction will deliver immediate cash value to our stockholders and further supports DFC Global’s view that this transaction is in the best interests of all stockholders.”

In addition to Glass Lewis, Egan Jones, another independent proxy voting and corporate governance advisory firm, also recommended that stockholders vote “FOR” the proposed transaction with Lone Star at DFC Global’s special meeting of stockholders.

DFC Global’s Board and management team are fully committed to completing the transaction with Lone Star, which will deliver certain and immediate cash value for DFC Global stockholders with limited execution risk. DFC Global reiterates the Board’s unanimous recommendation that stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the merger agreement at the upcoming special meeting. The special meeting is scheduled for June 6, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. eastern time.
