Item 2.01		Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On December 31, 2010, Dollar Financial Corp. (“Dollar”) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Dollar Financial U.K. Limited (the “Company”), had completed its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding capital stock of Sefina Finance AB (“Sefina”) pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated December 2, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with NSF Nordic Special Finance AB (the “Seller”).

     Sefina, a Scandinavian pawn lending business with its headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden and a more than 125 year operating history, provides pawn loans primarily secured by gold jewelry, diamonds and watches through its 16 retail store locations in Sweden and 12 retail store locations in Finland.

     The total cash consideration for the Acquisition is approximately $73.0 million, of which approximately $58.0 million was cash paid at closing, with the remaining approximately $15.0 million in the aggregate of additional cash payable in equal installments on each of March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011. Furthermore, the Company is obligated to pay the Seller additional contingent consideration based on the financial performance of Sefina during the each of the two successive 12 month periods following the closing of the Acquisition. As a part of the Acquisition, the Company also assumed Sefina’s existing working capital lines of credit associated with a number of Scandinavian banks, the outstanding balances on which aggregated to approximately $60.0 million as of the closing of the Acquisition, are secured by the value of Sefina’s pawn pledge stock, and have average interest rates of approximately 4%.

     The description of the Acquisition and the Purchase Agreement contained in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release issued by Dollar announcing the closing of the Acquisition is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
