Boards of Directors of

Marshall & Ilsley Corporation

Metavante Corporation and

Metavante Holding Company

Attention: Mr. Randall Erickson

Senior Vice President & General Counsel

770 N. Water Street

Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202

To the Boards of Directors:

This opinion letter is furnished at the request of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (“M&I”) for the limited purpose of providing opinions as to solvency of New M&I Corp. (as defined below) and Metavante Holding (as defined below) following the Proposed Transactions (as defined below) and the compliance by M&I, Metavante Holdings and certain related entities with applicable legal capital adequacy requirements relating to distributions to shareholders in connection with the distributions to be made by such entities as part of the Proposed Transactions.

OVERVIEW

Currently M&I is a publicly held company with a number of subsidiaries, which, for simplicity, will be classified as either bank operations referred to herein as M&I Bank (“M&I Bank”) or Metavante Corporation (“Metavante”) operations. M&I Bank operations include a full range of banking services to individuals, businesses and governments; its nonbank subsidiaries operate a variety of bank-related businesses including those providing trust services, residential mortgage banking, capital markets, brokerage and insurance, commercial leasing, and commercial mortgage banking.

Metavante delivers banking and payment technologies to financial services firms and businesses. Metavante products and services drive account processing for deposit, loan and trust systems, image-based and conventional check processing, electronic funds transfer, consumer health care payments, and electronic presentment and payment.

“Proposed Transactions” shall mean the series of transactions enumerated below:

 

1. Metavante Holding Company (“Metavante Holding”) is formed by M&I as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of M&I. Metavante Holding, in turn, forms Montana Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Metavante Holding; Metavante Holding also forms New M&I Corporation (“New M&I Corp.”) as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Metavante Holding;
2. Merger Sub merges with and into M&I, with M&I surviving the merger. In the merger, outstanding M&I shares are converted into shares of Metavante Holding, thereby making Metavante Holding a public company, and the shares of Merger Sub are converted into shares of M&I. As a result of the merger, M&I continues to exist as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Metavante Holding as does New M&I Corp.;
3. M&I is converted (the “M&I Conversion”) from a Wisconsin corporation into a Wisconsin limited liability company, M&I LLC (“M&I LLC”);
4. M&I LLC distributes the outstanding shares of Metavante to Metavante Holding (the “Metavante Distribution”). Following this distribution, Metavante will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Metavante Holding (along with M&I LLC and New M&I Corp.);
5. Warburg Pincus (“WP”) will invest approximately $625.0 million in Metavante Holding (the “Equity Purchase”) and simultaneously with the Equity Purchase, Metavante will borrow approximately $1.75 billion in a term loan facility. In addition, Metavante will have access to a $250 million revolving credit facility. It is expected that the revolving facility will be undrawn at closing. Together, the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility are the bank debt (“Bank Debt”);
6. Metavante repays approximately $982.0 million of intercompany loans to M&I LLC;
7. Metavante distributes a dividend of cash to Metavante Holding (the “Metavante Cash Dividend”) of approximately $1.04 billion;
8. Metavante Holding contributes the membership interests of M&I LLC to New M&I Corp. (the “M&I LLC Contribution’) and will contribute approximately $1.665 billion cash held by Metavante Holding and its subsidiaries (including Metavante) to New M&I Corp. (the “M&I Distribution”); and
9. A distribution of the shares of New M&I Corp. is made to the public stockholders of Metavante Holding (the “Share Distribution”). As a result of the distribution, both New M&I Corp. and Metavante Holding are public companies, with approximately 25% of the outstanding shares of Metavante Holding being held by WP.

The transactions contemplated in steps 1-9 above and the payment of related fees and expenses are collectively referred to as the “Proposed Transactions.”

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In rendering our Opinions, we have valued the aggregate assets, on a going concern basis, of each of the subject entities, immediately before and after, and giving effect to the distribution as applicable or the Proposed Transactions, including the associated indebtedness incurred or remaining outstanding in connection therewith (as applicable). The valuation included the aggregate assets of each of the subject entities or total invested capital as represented by the total net working capital, tangible plant, property and equipment, and intangible assets of the business enterprise. We believe that this is a reasonable basis to value each of the subject entities. Nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that each of the subject entities before or after the relevant distribution, or after the Proposed Transactions, as applicable, is not a going concern.

The determination of Fair Value and Present Fair Saleable Value is based on the generally accepted valuation principles used in the market as of the date hereof as they apply to the relevant businesses of each subject entity in question and discounted cash flow approaches, described as follows:

Market Approach – This approach is based on correlation of: (a) current stock market prices of publicly held companies whose businesses are similar to that of each of the subject entities and market price paid by acquirors of total or controlling ownership in such businesses; and (b) acquisition prices paid for total ownership positions in businesses whose lines of business are similar to that of each of the subject entities.

Discounted Cash Flow Approach – Based on the present value of the future Debt-free operating cash flow of each of the subject entities as estimated by the management of the respective subject entity and contained in the Financial Projections. We will assume no responsibility for the accuracy or validity of such estimates or of the Financial Projections. The Present Value will be determined by discounting the projected operating cash flow, as reflected in the Financial Projections, at a rate of return that reflects the financial and business risks of each of the subject entities.

Our Opinion of Fair Value and Present Fair Saleable Value is subject to the following conditions, qualifications and limitations:

 

  (i) Any sale of each of the subject entities including the underlying assets thereof, will be completed as the sale of an ongoing business entity; and

 

  (ii) In determining the Fair Value and Present Fair Saleable Value of the assets of each of the subject entities, any taxes or Transaction costs which may be owed by each of the subject entities, as a result of the Transaction, other than those specifically identified in the Financial Projections, were not considered.

For purposes of this opinion we assume (without investigation) that each of the subject entities would be saleable as a separate business enterprise. We have not been requested to identify, and have not identified, potential purchasers or to ascertain the actual prices and terms under which each of the subject entities can currently be sold. Furthermore, because the sale of any business enterprise involves numerous assumptions and uncertainties, not all of which can be quantified or ascertained prior to engaging in an actual selling effort, we express no opinion as to whether each of the subject entities could actually be sold for amounts we opine to be the

FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PROJECTIONS

In connection with the analysis underlying the Opinions, we were provided historical and projected operating results for each of the subject entities (the Financial Projections as previously defined). In addition to this information, we were provided other operating data and information all of which has been accepted, without investigation or independent verification, as representing a fair statement of historical and projected results of each of the subject entities, in the opinion of the management of M&I and of Metavante. We have accepted all financial statements and information and all Financial Projections at face value without investigation or independent verification. In addition, we are not responsible for any errors or inaccuracy in such projections, information, or data. With regard to such projections, information and data, in the course of our review, we have not learned any specific facts which would lead us to believe that our acceptance and reliance on such projections, information and data was unreasonable.

We have not investigated or independently verified the accuracy and completeness of the Financial Projections and forecasts, or any of the assumptions, estimates, or judgments referred to therein, or the basis therefore. No assurances can be given that such Financial Projections and forecasts can be realized or that actual results will not vary materially from those projected. During the course of our engagement no specific facts have been disclosed to us which would lead us to believe that any information reviewed by us or presented to us in connection with our rendering of the Opinions is inaccurate in any material respect. We have not learned specific facts which demonstrate it was unreasonable for us to utilize and rely upon the Financial Projections, financial statements, assumptions, description of the business and Liabilities, estimates and judgments of the management of M&I and of Metavante, and their respective counsel, accountants and financial advisors. Our Opinions are necessarily based on business, economic, market and other conditions as known to us and as currently exist and as they can be evaluated by us at the date of these Opinions.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In the course of our review of Contingent Liabilities, the areas brought to our attention by the managements of M&I and of Metavante included: (i) tax matters; (ii) loan risk; (iii) labor relations; (iv) internal audit and controls; (v) regulatory constraints; (vi) insurance and risk management; (vii) corporate security programs; and (viii) various lawsuits and claims filed and/or pending against the subject entities.

We have determined that reserves for the Contingent Liabilities have been made in each of the subject entities pro forma balance sheets at June 30, 2007 or at September 30, 2007 as applicable, as either reflected in the Financial Projections for the subject entity or entities or

separately provided by M&I or Metavante (the “Initial Pro Forma Balance Sheets”), prepared and furnished to us by the management of M&I and Metavante, and provisions for the ongoing expenses related to these issues have been included with the projection of income and expenses presented in the Financial Projections, and are considered in our valuation study as ongoing business operating expenses. There can be no assurance that such reserves are or will be adequate. We have taken these Contingent Liabilities into account in rendering our Opinions and have concluded that such Contingent Liabilities and identified related ongoing expenses do not require any qualification of our Opinions. This involves the exercise of judgment on our part. Our conclusion is based on, among other things, (i) our review of various acquisition transactions, including leveraged transactions and significant debt-financed recapitalization transactions, involving corporations engaged in businesses similar to those of the subject entities; (ii) the opinion of the managements of M&I and Metavante that the issues concerning various lawsuits, claims and other Contingent Liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of each of the subject entities; and (iii) our discussions with the managements of M&I and Metavante, their accountants, consultants and counsel concerning the various lawsuits, claims and other Contingent Liabilities identified to us.

We have assumed that as of the effective date of the distributions or the Proposed Transactions, as applicable, the total identified Liabilities of each of the subject entities will be only those Liabilities set forth in its respective “Pro Forma Balance Sheet” (defined below) and incorporated in the Financial Projections that were prepared by M&I and Metavante and furnished to us by the management of M&I and Metavante and their financial advisors. In the course of our engagement, no specific facts have come to our attention, which would lead us to believe such assumptions to be unreasonable. For purposes of these Opinions, the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet” for each of the subject entities is the Initial Pro Forma Balance Sheet, as applicable and as adjusted to give effect to (a) the planned distribution or the Proposed Transactions, as applicable; (b) the application of the proceeds of any financing, as applicable; and (c) restated by us to reflect the Fair Value or Present Fair Saleable Value of the subject entity as applicable.

The management of each of M&I and Metavante have represented to us, and we have relied on their representation, that no adverse changes have occurred since their preparation, which would materially impact the content of each of the subject entities’ Initial Pro Forma Balance Sheets and Financial Projections. No specific facts have come to our attention, which would lead us to believe our reliance on such representations would be unreasonable.

OPINION CONDITIONS, ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
