CARDTRONICS COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF 7-ELEVEN, INC. ATM BUSINESS

HOUSTON, TX, July 20, 2007 — Cardtronics, Inc. announced today that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of the ATM business of 7-Eleven, Inc. (“7-Eleven”) for $135 million, plus an adjustment for working capital. The acquisition included approximately 5,500 ATMs located in 7-Eleven stores throughout the United States, of which approximately 2,000 are advanced-functionality financial self-service kiosks, branded as “Vcom^®” terminals, that are capable of providing more sophisticated financial services such as check-cashing, money-transfer, and bill payment services. The completion of this acquisition increases the number of ATMs that Cardtronics owns and/or operates from approximately 25,000 ATMs to approximately 31,000 ATMs, including Cardtronics’ United Kingdom and Mexico operations.

“With the completion of this acquisition, we have further enhanced our position as the leading owner and operator of ATMs in the United States,” said Jack Antonini, president and CEO of Cardtronics. “But more importantly, we have increased the total value of our portfolio through a powerful long-term relationship with the world’s leading convenience retailer. Add to that the significant new-transaction volume we have gained and the exciting potential of the Vcom advanced functionality kiosks, and Cardtronics has clearly positioned itself as the leader in this industry with tremendous opportunities for growth.”

Cardtronics funded the acquisition through a combination of bank debt and other debt securities.
