CARL ICAHN AND DARWIN DEASON RELEASE
OPEN LETTER & PRESENTATION TO
XEROX SHAREHOLDERS
Xeroxs Two Largest Individual Shareholders Release Presentation on Rescuing & Revitalizing the Company
New York, New York, April 17, 2018 Today Carl Icahn and Darwin Deason released the following open letter to shareholders of Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX):
Fellow Shareholders:
As promised, today we released a presentation explaining why Xerox shareholders need to vote to replace certain directors and to oppose the proposed Fuji scheme.
Both the substance of the proposed value-destroying transaction and the conflict-tainted process by which it was hatched are an insult to long-suffering Xerox shareholders and make a mockery of well-established corporate governance norms.
Fuji with the able assistance of Xerox CEO Jeff Jacobson appears to have been successful in putting one over on the board of directors of Xerox. However, the market cannot be so easily tricked. The closing price of Xerox stock last Friday (April 13, 2018), before many of the sordid details came to light, was
$28.17 per share, which is approximately 14% below the closing price on the day prior to the announcement of the scheme and approximately 37% below managements purported deal value of $45.00 per share.
Noted Columbia law school Professor John Coffee summarized the transaction and the process behind it as follows: This is a strange and irregular transaction that is simply not comparable to any other transaction I have seen in over 45 years of observing the merger and acquisition marketplace. A CEO of the target, facing likely ouster, serves as the loyal agent of the acquirer, designing a deal that is too good to be true: a cheap price, little governance protections, no market check, and a process that ignores other bidders.
We could not have said it better ourselves.
We fully expect that Xerox will not prevail in its shameful attempt to keep hidden from shareholders the many other sordid facts surrounding this unfortunate transaction that are still being concealed due to the machinations of Xeroxs lawyers. Despite their attempts to bury the truth, the fundamental economics of the scheme which dramatically undervalue Xerox and disproportionately favor Fuji are undeniable. Therefore, we are confident you will agree that the only choice here is to vote out the worst of Xeroxs directors and to oppose the proposed Fuji scheme.
We look forward to engaging with you further over the upcoming weeks and months. Please stay tuned for more.
|
Sincerely yours, |
|
|
|
Carl Icahn Darwin Deason |

Executive Summary SECTION I. UNDERPERFORMANCE, MISMANAGEMENT AND POOR GOVERNANCE AT XEROX Poor shareholder returns 1, 3 and 5 year total shareholder returns significantly lag peers and broader benchmarks Phantom cost cuts Xerox touts ~$1.2B in cost cuts over the past two years, but only ~$30M of those cuts flowed to the bottom line Disgraceful governance Failure to disclose crown jewel lock-up agreement with Fuji for at least 17 years SECTION II. THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION WITH FUJI GIVING AWAY CONTROL WITHOUT A PREMIUM Highly unusual structure Tortured and convoluted transaction structure in which Fuji will acquire a 50.1% controlling interest in Xerox Skewed risk profile Fuji will take control of Xerox and receive $120 million more in annual dividends from Xerox without spending a penny" No control premium Even if shareholders assume that the combined entity will achieve a majority of the forecasted $1.7B in synergies which current management has never demonstrated the capability to do the transaction only provides ~$28 of value per share Relative values disproportionately favor Fuji In Xeroxs analysis, Fuji Xerox is valued based on a multiple of 2018E adjusted EBITDA that is 2.5 turns higher than Xerox, even though Fuji Xerox has 40% lower margins, a higher mix of manufacturing, is on pace to report consecutive years of revenue declines and is still reeling from a massive accounting scandal Insufficient minority protections Fuji will continue to compete with Xerox post-closing (for example, in certain categories of high-end equipment, which account for ~20% of Xeroxs total equipment revenue), which will provide ample opportunities for Fuji to abuse its control of Xerox to take market share solely for its own benefit Conflicted, poorly-run process Negotiations were led by a conflicted Xerox CEO, who betrayed shareholders by serv[ing] as a loyal agent of the acquirer in a process that ignore[d] other bidders and was conducted without a proper market check SECTION III. OUR PLAN FOR XEROX A BETTER, BRIGHTER FUTURE AS A STANDALONE COMPANY Four Part Plan to Increase Shareholder Value Unlock growth through new adjacent services and partnerships Drive bottom-line cost savings through network consolidation and channel optimization Monetize untapped intellectual property Re-evaluate Asia-Pacific market with a stronger management team SECTION IV. COMPARING THE VALUE PROPOSITIONS We believe our plan could create total value of $54 to $64 per share compared to ~$28 per share in the proposed transaction, while retaining operating control and the prospect of receiving a true control premium in the future Shareholders should vote AGAINST the proposed Fuji/Xerox transaction and FOR a new board of directors that can drive much needed change and maximize shareholder value

Xerox also has a disgraceful governance record the Company concealed the crown jewel lock-up it gave Fuji at least 17 years ago and now claims that the lock-up prevents anyone other than Fuji from buying Xerox The proposed transaction is the result of an improper and fraudulently concealed crown jewel lock-up buried in the JV agreements that Xerox and Fuji entered into at least 17 years ago Xerox says the crown jewel lock-up in the JV agreements limit[s] Xeroxs strategic flexibility such that Xerox could not run a more customary process to explore a sale to a private equity buyer or another strategic acquirer Yet the very first mention to shareholders of this lockup did not occur until nine days after the proposed Fuji deal was announced (i.e., when it could be used to push through a self-serving transaction), even though at least one Xerox director (Charles Prince) was already pointing out the lock-up to his personal contacts This intentional deceit prevented shareholders from ever having the opportunity to push management to terminate or renegotiate the JV agreements, which would have given Xerox more flexibility to pursue strategic alternatives over the past 17 years [Its] sad: a (formerly iconic) US company selling control to a Japanese company . But there is a Joint Venture Agreement which made it practically impossible for Xerox to sell to anyone else . A really amazing problem - Charles Prince (Xerox director), in a personal email, February 1, 2018
But we believe Xerox never thoroughly explored transactions with other buyers or tried to capitalize on its obvious points of leverage over Fuji Last years massive accounting scandal at Fuji Xerox almost certainly gives Xerox the right to terminate the JV agreements for material breach Alternatively, Xerox could begin the process of terminating the Technology Agreement in 2020, which would give Xerox unfettered access to the Asia Pacific market and would also be absolutely catastrophic for Fuji While the crown jewel lock-up is deal restrictive, Xerox still has options that the current board and management have never wanted to pursue for their own selfish reasons At a minimum, each of these termination rights could be used as leverage to renegotiate the terrible terms in the JV agreements
and the experts agree with us! The Xerox Board claims the proposed transaction with Fuji followed a comprehensive review and careful consideration of all alternatives available to the company1 But Columbia Law School professor and world renowned corporate governance expert John C. Coffee Jr. reviewed the record and concluded the following: This is a strange and irregular transaction that is simply not comparable to any other transaction I have seen in over 45 years of observing the merger and acquisition marketplace. A CEO of the target [Xerox], facing likely ouster, serves as the loyal agent of the acquirer, designing a deal that is too good to be true: a cheap price, little governance protections, no market check, and a process that ignores other bidders. See Xerox press release dated January 31, 2018 But we now know that contrary to the advice of its own financial advisor the Xerox Board NEVER reached out to ANY potential strategic acquirers and only ever contacted three potential financial sponsors
Based on this record, should we really trust that Xeroxs current management and board have negotiated a transaction that maximizes shareholder value? History tells us the answer is NO Current Xerox Leaderships Accomplishments Shareholder returns below peers and relevant benchmarks $1.2B of cost cuts that did not actually flow to the bottom line Shameful mismanagement of the Fuji relationship Concealed crown jewel lockup buried in JV agreements from shareholders for at least 17 years Failed to leverage the massive accounting scandal that Fuji oversaw at Fuji Xerox (see slide 20) Failed to leverage the fact that Xerox is likely Fuji Xeroxs largest single customer -- 15-20% of revenue (see slide 35-36) Executed an M&A transaction process with Fuji without: Conducting a proper market check Replacing a conflicted CEO as the lead negotiator Forming a special committee Adequately considering or pursuing alternative opportunities that came to the company Negotiated and approved the proposed transaction, which: Gives away control of Xerox without a control premium (see slide 17) Dramatically undervalues Xerox (see slide 18) Disproportionately favors Fuji (see slide 21) Renders Xerox shareholders virtually powerless to protect their investment going forward (see slides 24-25) Critical strategic and operational failures Failure to capitalize on $20+ billion market opportunity to expand services to mid-market and SMB (see slide 28) Failure to partner with PC manufacturers that have no footprint in adjacent print space (see slide 29) Failure to develop a coherent, efficient e-commerce and distribution network (see slides 30-32) Failure to monetize or commercialize valuable assets and innovations (see slides 33-34)
SECTION I. UNDERPERFORMANCE, MISMANAGEMENT AND POOR GOVERNANCE AT XEROX SECTION II. THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION WITH FUJI GIVING AWAY CONTROL WITHOUT A PREMIUM Highly unusual structure Tortured and convoluted transaction structure in which Fuji will acquire a 50.1% controlling interest in Xerox Skewed risk profile Fuji will take control of Xerox and receive $120 million more in annual dividends from Xerox without spending a penny" No control premium Even if shareholders assume that the combined entity will achieve a majority of the forecasted $1.7B in synergies which current management has never demonstrated the capability to do the transaction only provides ~$28 of value per share Relative values disproportionately favor Fuji In Xeroxs analysis, Fuji Xerox is valued based on a multiple of 2018E adjusted EBITDA that is 2.5 turns higher than Xerox, even though Fuji Xerox has 40% lower margins, a higher mix of manufacturing, is on pace to report consecutive years of revenue declines and is still reeling from a massive accounting scandal Insufficient minority protections Fuji will continue to compete with Xerox post-closing (for example, in certain categories of high-end equipment, which account for ~20% of Xeroxs total equipment revenue), which will provide ample opportunities for Fuji to abuse its control of Xerox to take market share solely for its own benefit Conflicted, poorly-run process Negotiations were led by a conflicted Xerox CEO, who betrayed shareholders by serv[ing] as a loyal agent of the acquirer in a process that ignore[d] other bidders and was conducted without a proper market check SECTION III.

And Fuji Xerox still has not resolved its recently disclosed $360M accounting scandal, which was caused by a culture of concealment and Fujis failure to have adequate subsidiary management systems How could Xerox possibly justify valuing Fuji Xerox at an enormous premium when this massive accounting scandal remains unresolved? Preliminary Results of Fuji Xerox Accounting Scandal Impacted Xeroxs 2009 through 2017 fiscal years Fuji Xerox chairman and three other senior executives retired following the scandal Shigetaka Komori (Fuji CEO) and Kenji Sukeno (Fuji President and COO) took significant pay cuts Culture of concealment and Fujis deficient subsidiary management system detailed in an over 300 page independent investigation report available here2 More adjustments could be on the way3 Per June 12, 2017 Nikkei Asian Review article titled Yamamoto steps down as Fuji Xerox chairman over accounting scandal Per the English translation of Fujis Independent Investigation Committees investigation report dated July 26, 2017 Per Xeroxs 2017 10-K: Fujifilm and Fuji Xerox continue to review Fujifilms oversight and governance of Fuji Xerox as well as Fuji Xeroxs oversight and governance over its businesses in light of the findings of the IIC.

A More Realistic View of Synergy Value Per page 6 of Xerox Responds to Carl Icahn and Darwin Deason Open Letter presentation filed with the SEC on February 13, 2018 Assumes 60% of $1.25B of transaction cost synergies per Xerox presentation dated February 9, 2018 are achievable See Xerox 2017 10-K Why should shareholders capitalize 100% of the purported synergies when (A) management has never demonstrated the ability to bring cost savings to the bottom line and (B) Xeroxs 10-K is replete with (well justified) warnings that the synergies may never be achieved? we may not realize the anticipated synergies3 we may be unable to eliminate duplicative costs3 we may incur substantial expenses in connection with the integration of our business and Fuji Xeroxs business3 the integration of Xerox and Fuji Xerox following the Closing will present significant challenges3 [c]ombining the business of Xerox and Fuji Xerox may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected3 The Xerox synergy valuation assumes both flawless execution AND massive post-closing multiple expansion for the combined company, neither of which is realistic. Xerox also inflates the proposed transactions value by capitalizing 100% of the purported synergies using that same lofty and unjustified premium 2 (USD in billions) Xerox's View of Synergy Value 1 Realistic View of Synergy Value EV / Adj EBITDA 7.5x 5.0x Run-Rate Synergies $1.25 $0.75 Enterprise Value $9.4 $3.8 (x) Xerox Ownership of New Co 49.9% 49.9% EV Attributable to Xerox Shareholders $4.7 $1.9 EV Attributable to Xerox Shareholders (PV) $3.2 $1.3 Xerox Fully Diluted Shares 267M 267M Synergy Value to Xerox Shareholders $12 / share $4.8 / share
On a net cash flow basis, the multiple Xerox shareholders receive in the proposed transaction is an outrageously low 2.3x Equal to (i) the $2.5B special dividend minus (ii) ~50% of the $2.5B of debt incurred to finance that dividend (since Xerox shareholders will own ~50% of the company incurring that debt) For detailed backup see Carl Icahn and Darwin Deasons joint letter to Xerox shareholders dated February 12, 2018 Based on Xeroxs 2017 Adjusted Operating Income on page 26 of Xeroxs Fourth Quarter 2017 Earnings presentation, plus depreciation and amortization not already adjusted for, less equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates Xerox will own ~50% of its own cash flow post-closing We are netting out the estimated cash flow Xerox shareholders will receive from owning an additional ~25% interest in Fuji-Xerox (as explained in our February 12, 2018 letter to shareholders) in order to come up with an accurate estimate of the cash flow Xerox shareholders are surrendering in exchange for the $1.25B net dividend Xerox shareholders are selling ~$535 million of normalized annual recurring net cash flow for just ~$1.25 billion1 The below breakout uses Xeroxs actual 2017 Adjusted EBITDA (to derive a recurring cash in the bank), which we believe is the best way to analyze the proposed transaction (USD in millions) 2017A Xerox 2017 Stand Alone Adjusted EBITDA 3 $1,675 Annual Maintenance Capex (175) Annual Interest Expense (200) Xerox 2017 Stand Alone Cash Flow $1,300 ~50% of Stand Alone Cash Flow 4 (650) Xerox 2017 Cash Flow Contributed $650 Additional ~25% of Fuji-Xerox Cash Flow 5 ($115) Net Xerox Cash Flow Contributed $535 Value Received for ~50% of Xerox's Net Cash Flow $1,250 Multiple 2.3x Xerox's Net Contributed Cash Flow 2
In addition, if the proposed deal closes, Xerox shareholders will be passive minority owners of a Fuji subsidiary virtually powerless to prevent Fuji from abusing its control For example, Fuji competes directly against Xerox in the market for high-end inkjet products What's to stop Fuji from shutting down Xerox's inkjet business just to benefit its competing Fuji Ink business? When asked on a recent UBS conference call if this was a risk, Xeroxs Chief Commercial Officer said: I dont think so.3 But Xeroxs lawyers know its a risk thats why elsewhere Xerox warns shareholders that Fujifilm may have different interests [than yours] and may make decisions adverse to your interests.4 Fuji will have a myriad of opportunities to oppress us as minority shareholders Per page 34 of Xerox 2017 10-K Per page 7 of Fujifilm 2017 Integrated Report Per call with investors held by UBS on March 12, 2018 (emphasis added) Per page 18 of Xerox 2017 10-K 20% of Xeroxs total equipment revenue is attributable to sales of its high-end equipment, which includes production quality inkjets1 11% of Fujis consolidated revenue is attributable to its Graphic Systems segment, which markets inkjet products worldwide2 The truth is that Fuji is well positioned to take advantage of Xerox shareholders post-closing. They already have Xerox management convinced that post-closing Fuji and the combined Fuji Xerox will be one company and one entity3 even though they will have (A) competing businesses and (B) two separate and distinct shareholder bases.
Just imagine the most plausible worst-case scenario the result will be massive value destruction for Xerox shareholders Do you really believe the new Fuji controlled board will look out for the best interests of Xerox shareholders if management cant achieve the synergies or (like in the past) cant make them flow to the bottom line? 1. Cost savings dont flow through and synergies miss expectations 2. The combined company continues to lose market share 3. Fuji begins to siphon off value, beginning with shuttering Fuji-Xeroxs inkjet business 4. The market realizes minority shareholders have little recourse against Fuji 5. The stock price plummets as the market extrapolates the downward trend and prices in a massive minority discount END RESULT: Xerox shareholders sold control for $9.80 in cash and a stub share worth a few dollars new

Potential opportunity to evaluate costs to achieve equipment savings and reduce COGS Negative impact to margin due to revenue decline from $10.3B to $10.0B in 2018 (per page 31 of Xerox presentation dated February 9, 2018) Per CFO, William Osbourn, from Q42017 earnings call Within COGS, alternative sourcing options would potentially reduce equipment costs that is paid to Fuji Xerox (2) by 10% or $160M, and an additional 5% savings in Delivery (1) would be $175M, for a total of $335M reduction in COGS combined Assuming existing SG&A expense of 25% against GIS revenue of $2B (per page 10 of 2017 Xerox Investor Day presentation), SG&A expenses for GIS alone account for ~$500M annually. Anticipated savings by removing duplicative functions and centralizing management functions would net a 5% savings to overall SG&A, or ~$125M 3 4 5 6 5.6% Margin 10.2% Margin ($6,204) ($2,631) ($1,039) ($500) ($1,585) $10,265 ($3,580) ($2,131) ($446) ($414) $570 Revenue COGS SG&A R&D Other Expenses EBIT $570 ($15) $50 $335 $125 $1,065 2017 EBIT 2018 Revenue Decline 2018 FX Tailwinds 2018 COGS Improvement 2018 SG&A Improvement 2018E EBIT
