Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents PART I Item 1. Business Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. ("Harland Clarke Holdings" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is a holding company that conducts its operations through its direct and indirect, wholly owned operating subsidiaries and was incorporated in Delaware on October 19, 2005. The Company is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of M & F Worldwide Corp. ("M & F Worldwide"), which is, as of December 21, 2011, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. ("MacAndrews"). MacAndrews is wholly owned by Ronald O. Perelman. On September 12, 2011, M & F Worldwide agreed to merge with an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of MacAndrews, and following a vote of stockholders of M & F Worldwide and the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions, that merger was effected on December 21, 2011 (the "MacAndrews Acquisition"). On March 19, 2012, the Company purchased Faneuil, Inc. ("Faneuil") from affiliates of MacAndrews (see Note 3 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). Under accounting guidance for transactions among entities under common control, the Company has accounted for the purchase at historical cost and has retrospectively recasted prior periods under common control to include Faneuil operations. The Company and Faneuil came under common control on December 21, 2011, the date of the MacAndrews Acquisition. Faneuil is a separate business segment for financial reporting purposes. The Company has organized its business and corporate structure along the following four business segments: Harland Clarke, Harland Financial Solutions, Scantron and Faneuil. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company transferred certain product and service lines from the Scantron segment to other segments to better align complementary products and services. The Harland Technology Services ("HTS") and Medical Device Tracking ("MDT") businesses were transferred to the Faneuil segment and the Survey Services business was transferred to the Harland Clarke segment. Prior period segment information has been reclassified to reflect this change. The Harland Clarke segment offers checks and related products, forms and treasury supplies, and related delivery and fraud prevention products to financial and commercial institutions. It also provides direct marketing services to their clients including direct marketing campaigns, direct mail, database marketing, telemarketing and digital marketing. In addition to these products and services, the Harland Clarke segment offers stationery, business cards, survey services and other business and home office products to consumers and businesses. The Harland Financial Solutions segment provides technology products and related services to financial institutions worldwide including lending and mortgage compliance and origination applications, risk management solutions, business intelligence solutions, Internet and mobile banking applications, branch automation solutions, self-service solutions, electronic payment solutions and core processing systems. The Scantron segment provides data management and decision support solutions and related services to educational, commercial and governmental entities worldwide.
