NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2013

The Circular exposes the Kellogg Group's attempt to execute an unlawful takeover of MFC, its breaches of applicable Canadian and United States securities laws and details the Kellogg Group's attempts to put its interests ahead of the interests of other shareholders.  MFC believes that shareholders should be of wary of the Kellogg Group's intentions for the reasons as set forth in the Circular.

Mr. Michael J. Smith, Chief Executive Officer, commented:  "The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that the Kellogg Group wants control of MFC without paying a premium for control.  The MFC board has serious concerns about the actions and motives of the Kellogg Group as set forth in the Circular."

MFC urges shareholders to carefully review MFC's letter to shareholders and the Circular and promptly vote only their WHITE proxy well in advance of the proxy voting deadline of December 24, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time).
