Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     As previously disclosed, MoneyGram International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), certain affiliates and co-investors of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (collectively, the “THL Investors”), as the holders of all of the Company’s Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (collectively, the “GS Investors”), as the holders of all of the Company’s Series B-1 Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, are parties to the Recapitalization Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2011 (the “Recapitalization Agreement), providing for the recapitalization of the Company (the “Recapitalization”).
     On May 4, 2011, the Company, the THL Investors and the GS Investors entered into an amendment to the Recapitalization Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment amends the Recapitalization Agreement to (i) modify the stockholder vote required for approval of the Recapitalization to require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including the Series B Preferred Stock or any other stock of the Company held by any THL Investor or GS Investor or any executive officer or director of the Company) rather than the majority of such shares present in person or by proxy at the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders called for the purpose of approving the Recapitalization and (ii) provide that the closing condition with respect to the receipt of the requisite stockholder approvals may not be waived or amended by the Company or any THL Investor or GS Investor.
     The Recapitalization remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions as set forth in the Recapitalization Agreement, as amended by the Amendment.
     The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
