Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Credit Facility

On March 28, 2013, MoneyGram International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as borrower, entered into an Amended and Restated 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 $125 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured seven year term loan facility up to an aggregate principal amount of $850 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 MoneyGram Payment Systems Worldwide, Inc.’s (“Worldwide”) existing credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and to purchase all of the outstanding 2018 Notes (defined below) pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement described below, and will also be used to pay certain costs, fees and expenses relating to the Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement transactions and for general corporate purposes. Any borrowings under 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 senior leverage ratio or total leverage ratio, as applicable, at such time). The LIBOR rate for the Term Credit Facility will at all times be deemed to be not less than 1.00%.

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 the Company’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, during the term of the Revolving Credit Facility, a minimum interest coverage ratio and asset coverage ratio and not to exceed a maximum secured leverage ratio and total leverage ratio.

Note Purchase Agreement

On March 28, 2013, Worldwide purchased all $325.0 million of its outstanding 13.25% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) that were issued to affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the “Noteholders”) in March 2008. Worldwide purchased the 2018 Notes pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 27, 2013, by and among Worldwide and the Noteholders (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) for a purchase price equal to 106.625% of the principal amount purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, which amount was funded with a portion of the net proceeds from the Credit Agreement described above. Following the closing of the transaction, the 2018 Notes were cancelled, and no 2018 Notes remain outstanding.

The foregoing description of the material terms and conditions of the Note Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
