Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     Credit Facility

     On May 18, 2011, MoneyGram International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) consummated its previously announced recapitalization transaction (the “Recapitalization”) pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement (the “Recapitalization Agreement”), dated as of March 7, 2011, as amended, by and among the Company, certain affiliates and co-investors of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (the “THL Investors”), and certain affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the “GS Investors”, and together with the THL Investors, the “Investors”). In connection with the closing of the Recapitalization, on May 18, 2011, MoneyGram Payment Systems Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Worldwide”), as borrower, and the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders and the other agents party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a senior secured five-year revolving credit facility that may be used for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $150 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured six and one-half year term loan facility up to an aggregate principal amount of $390 million (the “Term Credit Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The proceeds of the Term Credit Facility were used to repay in full outstanding indebtedness under Worldwide’s and the Company’s existing credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and to make certain cash payments to the Investors at the closing provided for in the Recapitalization Agreement, and will also be used to pay certain costs, fees and expenses relating to the Recapitalization and for general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility will be used for general corporate purposes.

     The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Credit Facility will each permit both base rate borrowings and LIBOR borrowings, in each case plus a spread above the base rate or LIBOR rate, as applicable. With respect to the Credit Facility, the spread for base rate borrowings will be either 2.00% or 2.25% per annum and the spread for LIBOR borrowings will be either 3.00% or 3.25% per annum (in each case depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio at such time). The LIBOR rate for the Term Credit Facility will at all times be deemed to be not less than 1.25%.

     The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the payment and performance of Worldwide’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.

     The Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, certain events of default and certain negative covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on liens, asset sales, consolidations and mergers, acquisitions, investments, indebtedness, transactions with affiliates and payment of dividends. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and to not exceed a maximum leverage ratio.

     Copies of the Credit Agreement and the related guaranty, pledge agreement, security agreement, intercreditor agreement, patent security agreement of the Company, patent security agreement of MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc., trademark security agreement of the Company, trademark security agreement of MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc. and copyright security agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10, respectively, and are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01. The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the attached aforementioned agreements.

     Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Rights Agreement

     Pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement, on May 18, 2011 the Company and the Investors entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Registration Rights Amendment”) to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2008, by and among the Company and the Investors, to, among other things, give the Investors registration rights with respect to the Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock issued in the Recapitalization. A copy of the Registration Rights Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03. The above description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the attached Registration Rights Agreement.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On May 18, 2011, in connection with the Company’s entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness under, and terminated all of the lenders’ commitments to extend credit under, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2008, among the Company, Worldwide, the lenders party thereto and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), as administrative agent and as collateral agent (the “Previous Credit Agreement”). JPM acted as a joint lead arranger for the Credit Agreement, and certain lenders that were party to the Previous Credit Agreement are party to the Credit Agreement. All liens and security interests granted by the Company and its subsidiaries to secure their obligations under the Previous Credit Agreement were automatically released upon such repayment.

     The terms and conditions of the Previous Credit Agreement as provided in Item 1.01 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 28, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

     The information provided in Item 1.01 hereto under the heading “Credit Facility” is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

     On May 18, 2011, pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement (i) the THL Investors converted all of the shares of Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) into 286,438,367 shares, in the aggregate, of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) in accordance with the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”), (ii) the GS Investors converted all of the shares of Series B-1 Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock) into 157,685.7676 shares of Series D Participating Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) in accordance with the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Certificate of Designations”), and (iii) the THL Investors received, in the aggregate, 28,162,866 additional shares of Common Stock and $154,021,019.24 in cash, and the GS Investors received, in the aggregate, 15,503.8002 additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock and $84,789,348.98 in cash. The Series D Preferred Stock is nonvoting, and each share of Series D Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $0.01 and is convertible into 1000 shares of Common Stock only by a holder, other than the GS Investors or an affiliate of the GS Investors, that receives Series D Preferred Stock in a Widely Dispersed Offering (as defined below). The issuance of the shares of Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by reason of the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) thereof. Immediately following the closing of the Recapitalization, there were 398,311,755 shares of Common Stock outstanding, of which the THL Investors own, in the aggregate, 314,601,233 shares, and 173,189.5678 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding (equivalent to 173,189,567 shares of Common Stock), all of which are owned by the GS Investors.
