Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc. (“MPSI”), a subsidiary of MoneyGram International, Inc. (the “Company”), and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Wal-Mart”) are party to that certain Money Services Agreement, effective February 1, 2005, as amended (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Agreement may be terminated by either party on January 31, 2013 (the “Termination Date”) upon at least 180 days’ notice to the other party.

The parties have been discussing the continued provision of MPSI’s products and services to be offered in Wal-Mart stores. To date, neither party has given notice of its intent to terminate the Agreement on the Termination Date.

In order to continue discussing a possible extension of the Agreement or a new agreement, and based upon the approaching 180-day deadline for providing termination notice, on July 27, 2012, MPSI and Wal-Mart entered into an amendment to the Agreement (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties have agreed to extend the Termination Date from January 31, 2013 to March 31, 2013. As a result, the Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, may now be terminated on March 31, 2013 upon 180 days’ notice, which means that notice of termination must now be provided on or before October 2, 2012.
