On March 7, 2011, MoneyGram International, Inc. (the “Company”), the GS Investors and affiliates and co-investors of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL”) entered into a Recapitalization Agreement, as amended, (the “Recapitalization Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) the GS Investors agreed (subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions) to convert all of the shares of Series B-1 Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B-1 Preferred Stock”) of the Company into Series D Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) of the Company 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 (ii) as an inducement to the GS Investors to convert the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and to forgo the rights to liquidation preferences and future dividends provided for in the Series B-1 Certificate of Designations, the Company agreed to pay consideration consisting of additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock to the GS Investors (the “Additional Shares”). On May 18, 2011, the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement were consummated and the GS Investors converted all of the shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock into Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with the Series B-1 Certificate of Designations and the Company issued the Additional Shares to the GS Investors. In accordance with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Certificate of Designations”), the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) by a holder (other than the Reporting Persons and their affiliates) who receives such shares by means of (i) a widespread public distribution, (ii) a transfer to an underwriter for the purpose of conducting a widespread public distribution, (iii) a transfer in which no transferee (or group of associated transferees) would receive 2% or more of any class of voting securities of the Company, or (iv) a transfer to a transferee that would control more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company without any transfer from such transferor or its affiliates, as applicable (each of (i) – (iv), a “Widely Dispersed Offering”). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion shall be determined by multiplying each share of Series D Preferred Stock by 1,000. The Series D Preferred Stock is non-voting while held by the GS Investors or their affiliates, and while held by any holder who receives such shares by means other than a Widely Dispersed Offering. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a member of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, with (i) THL and (ii) Silver Point Capital, L.P. and Silver Point Capital Offshore Fund, Ltd. (collectively, “Silver Point”) and may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned or able to be acquired within 60 days by THL or Silver Point.
