Security and Issuer ----------------------------- This Amendment No. 2 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on December 6, 2007 by Blum Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership, ("Blum LP"); Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc., a California corporation ("RCBA Inc."); Blum Strategic GP III, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Blum GP III"); Blum Strategic GP III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Blum GP III LP"); Blum Strategic Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Blum Strategic III"; Blum Strategic GP IV, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Blum GP IV"); Blum Strategic GP IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Blum GP IV LP"); and Saddlepoint Partners GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Saddlepoint GP") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). This Amendment No. 2 relates to shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock") of Moneygram International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is 1550 Utica Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55416. The following amendments to the Schedule 13D are hereby made by this Amendment No. 2. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D as previously amended. Item 2. Identity and Background --------------------------------- There have been no changes to Item 2 since the last filed Schedule 13D on December 6, 2007. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations ------------------------------------------------------------ There have been no changes to Item 3 since the last filed Schedule 13D on December 6, 2007. * * * * * * * CUSIP NO. 60935Y109 SCHEDULE 13D Page 11 of 15 Item 4. Purpose of Transaction -------------------------------- Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following: The purpose of the acquisition of the Common Stock is for investment, and the acquisitions of the Common Stock were made in the ordinary course of business and were not made for the purpose of acquiring control of the Issuer. Although no Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of the Common Stock, consistent with its investment purpose, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of any or all of its Common Stock depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons and/or other investment considerations. Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more representatives of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected may result in any of the following: the acquisition by persons of additional Common Stock of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer, and/or changes in the board of directors or management of the Issuer. On December 17, 2007, Blum L.P. sent a letter to the Issuer and the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the "Blum Letter"). The Blum Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit B, and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto. * * * * * * * CUSIP NO. 60935Y109 SCHEDULE 13D Page 12 of 15 Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer ---------------------------------------------- (a), (b) According to the Issuer's Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2007, there were 82,647,173 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 2, 2007. Based on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of the following shares of Common Stock: (i) 1,898,600 shares of Common Stock held by Blum LP and RCBA Inc. on behalf of the limited partnerships for which Blum LP serves as the general partner, which represents 2.3% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (ii) 4,837,400 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP III which serves as general partner of Blum GP III LP which, in turn, serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic III, which represents 5.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (iii) 1,024,000 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP IV, which serves as general partner of Blum GP IV LP which, in turn, serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic IV, which represents 1.2% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (iv)180,000 shares of the Common Stock held by Saddlepoint GP on behalf of a partnership for which it serves as the general partner, which represents 0.2% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (v) 115,000 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by The Nuclear Decommissioning Trust of Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. ("Dominion Connecticut"), which represents 0.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and 115,000 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by Virginia Electric and Power Company Qualified Nuclear Decommissioning Trust ("Virginia Electric"), which represents 0.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock (collectively, the "Investment Advisory Clients"), with respect to which Blum LP has voting and investment power. Each Investment Advisory Client has entered into an investment management agreement with Blum LP, but neither Investment Advisory Client has any contract, arrangement or understanding with the other Investment Advisory Client, or any other Reporting Person, with respect to the acquisition, ownership, disposition or voting of any shares of the Common Stock. Each Investment Advisory Client disclaims membership in a group with any Reporting Person or with the other Investment Advisory Client, and each disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons other than for their own account. * * * * * * * CUSIP NO. 60935Y109 SCHEDULE 13D Page 13 of 15 Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by Blum LP, Blum GP III, Blum GP IV and Saddlepoint GP. The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case the group would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 8,170,000 shares of the Common Stock, which is 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole general partner of Blum LP, RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which Blum LP has voting and investment power. The filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that any of the shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. or the managing members and members of Blum GP III, Blum GP III LP, Blum GP IV, Blum GP IV LP, and Saddlepoint GP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc., Blum GP III LP, Blum GP III, Blum GP IV, Blum GP IV LP or Saddlepoint GP. c) The Reporting Persons effected the following transactions in the Common Stock since the last filed Schedule 13D on December 6, 2007: The Reporting Persons purchased the following number of shares of Common Stock in the open market: Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share ------- ---------- -------- ----------- For Blum Strategic IV for 12-14-2007 60,000 16.5495 which Blum GP IV LP 12-13-2007 100,000 16.9224 serves as the general partner 12-13-2007 331,200 16.9948 and for Blum GP IV which serves as the general partner for Blum GP IV LP.

Hitchan Managing Member Partner, Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Secretary * * * * * * * CUSIP NO. 60935Y109 SCHEDULE 13D Page 1 of 2 Exhibit B December 17, 2007 Mr. Philip W. Milne Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer MoneyGram International, Inc. 1550 Utica Avenue South, Suite 100 Minneapolis, MN, 55416 Dear Philip, As you know from our previous conversations, Blum Capital Partners, L.P. is a San Francisco based investment firm specializing in both public strategic block and private equity investments with the goal of working with management and the board of directors to maximize value for all shareholders. Our approach inherently calls for a much longer time horizon than most other investors, and we consider our ability to invest within a multi-year framework a significant strategic advantage when partnering with operating executives and board members of our portfolio companies. As of December 17, 2007, Blum Capital Partners owns 8,170,000 shares of MoneyGram. We purchased these shares from October 23 through December 14, 2007 and our position represents approximately 9.8% of the company. We believe that the core money transfer operation of MoneyGram is a high quality business with attractive rates of return on invested capital, prodigious cash flow generation, and favorable long-term secular growth. However, against that positive backdrop there are recent concerns that have compelled us to express our thoughts regarding appropriate action in order to serve the best interests of all constituents. First, we have been troubled by the lack of disclosure and transparency surrounding the investment portfolio of MoneyGram. We believe it is quite clear that concerns centered around the asset quality and risk profile of the portfolio have led to a substantial recent diminution of value for MoneyGram shareholders. We also find it disturbing that management would allow any non- core asset, such as the investment portfolio, to jeopardize potentially the entire enterprise. We have heard assurances from you that, if left to realization to maturity, many assets within the portfolio will be "money good". However, at the same time, you have been loath to provide all shareholders transparency for most of these assets, essentially leaving owners of the business with minimal data to make well informed judgments regarding the most significant challenge facing the company today. We implore you to provide a thorough, detailed disclosure of the * * * * * * * CUSIP NO. 60935Y109 SCHEDULE 13D Page 2 of 2 Mr. Philip W. Milne MoneyGram International, Inc. December 17, 2007 Page two entire portfolio and the full extent of its challenges in an expeditious manner as that information should be eminently available. We strongly feel that such disclosure is prudent, given the current circumstances, and best serves shareholders' interests. Second, regarding the current proposal from Euronet to acquire MoneyGram, we believe the MoneyGram Board of Directors has a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value. We do not make this statement lightly, having served on numerous boards ourselves and being cognizant of all the requisite obligations to fulfill that sole objective. Thus, we speak from experience in stating that the onerous restriction of a standstill agreement is antithetical to the goal of shareholder value maximization during a proposed negotiation process. To obtain the fullest possible value for MoneyGram shareholders, we believe both parties must be willing to engage in a good faith manner. Your proposal in response to the Euronet offer eliminates that possibility and therefore acts counter to the stated objective of any corporate board: to offer shareholders the best possible outcome. For the time being, we will reserve judgment on the Euronet proposed transaction because we feel it is incumbent upon the MoneyGram Board to negotiate in good faith with Euronet to reach a definitive conclusion on the comparative value proposition to shareholders. Should the facts warrant it, we would be quite satisfied with the prospect of MoneyGram as a stand-alone company that continues to compound shareholder wealth over a long period of time. However, until you begin an earnest process with the management and Board of Euronet we will not know which alternative is truly best for shareholders. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to remove the restrictive standstill agreement and enter into discussions with Euronet to secure the best possible value for MoneyGram shareholders. Ultimately, the decision to sell MoneyGram or continue as an ongoing concern is not your decision; it is not the Board's decision; it is the shareholders' decision. We respectfully request a formal response from the company no later than Friday, December 21, 2007. Sincerely, Gregory L. Jackson Partner cc: Board of Directors, MoneyGram
