Item 8.01  Other Events

      On March 16, 2005, Euronet Worldwide, Inc. ("Euronet") acquired
substantially all of the assets of the Spanish prepaid wireless company
Telerecarga S.A. ("Telerecarga"), located in Madrid, Spain. The acquisition was
made pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into on the
same date. The acquired assets consist principally of contract rights,
intellectual property, and goodwill. The purchase price was Euro 38 million with
Euro 23 million being paid at closing on March 16, 2005 through the assumption
of a like amount of liabilities of Telerecarga. Subject to fulfillment of
certain conditions that Euronet expects will be met, the remaining Euro 15
million will be payable on May 4, 2005 through the assumption of approximately
Euro 2.4 million in liabilities and a payment in cash of Euro 12.6 million. The
acquired business distributes prepaid wireless airtime and other prepaid
products through approximately 10,000 POS terminals in Spain. The purchase
agreement provides that the purchase of assets was effective as of 00:01 o'clock
on March 15, 2005. As part of the transaction, Euronet also obtained
non-competition agreements from Telerecarga and the sole shareholder of
Telerecarga. Neither Euronet nor any of its affiliates has any material
relationship with Telerecarga or any of its shareholders other than in respect
of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
