On July 1, 2004, Viad Corp (“Viad”) issued a press release announcing that it has completed its spin-off of MoneyGram International, Inc. (“MoneyGram”) by means of a distribution of all shares of the common stock of MoneyGram, effective 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 30, 2004, to holders of Viad common stock in the form of a stock dividend of one share of MoneyGram common stock for each share of Viad common stock held on the close of business on June 24, 2004.

The press release also announced that effective immediately following and in connection with the distribution, Viad effected a one-for-four reverse stock split whereby each four outstanding shares of Viad common stock were converted into one share of “new” Viad common stock.
