Except as otherwise indicated herein, all information in this Prospectus has been adjusted to give effect to the reorganization of the Company, which is subject to and effective upon the execution of the underwriting agreement to be executed in connection with the Offering, pursuant to which (i) 9,585,569 shares of Common Stock will be issued to the shareholders of Euronet Holding N.V. in exchange for all of the Common Shares of Euronet Holding N.V., (ii) options to acquire 3,113,355 shares of Common Stock will be granted to the holders of options to acquire 3,113,355 Common Shares of Euronet Holding N.V. in exchange for all of such options and (iii) awards with respect to 800,520 shares of Common Stock will be issued to the holders of awards with respect to 800,520 preferred shares of Euronet Holding N.V. in exchange for all such awards (the "Reorganization"). Euronet Holding N.V. will be dissolved following the Reorganization. See "Certain Transactions." THE COMPANY Euronet operates the only independent, non-bank owned automatic teller machine ("ATM") network in Central Europe, as a service provider to banks and other financial institutions. The Company was established in 1994 and currently operates a network of 175 state-of-the-art ATMs, 130 of which are located in Hungary and 35 of which are located in Poland. Through agreements and relationships with local banks and international card issuers and ATM networks such as American Express, VISA, Plus, Mastercard, Europay and Cirrus (together "International Card Organizations") Euronet's ATMs are able to process ATM transactions for holders of credit and debit cards issued by or bearing the logo of such banks and International Card Organizations. The Company receives a fee from the card issuing banks or International Card Organizations for all ATM transactions processed on its ATMs. The Company also offers outsourced ATM management services to local banks that own proprietary ATM networks for which the Company also receives fees on a per transaction basis as well as a monthly basis. The Company believes that the services it provides permit it to capitalize on the trends developing in the Central European banking market. Bank account usage and credit and debit card issuance are increasing in Central Europe as the demand for banking services continues to grow in the region. Connecting to the Company's ATM network enables banks to offer their customers the convenience of cash withdrawal and balance inquiry services in numerous off-site locations without incurring additional branch operational costs such as personnel costs. In addition, the Company believes that the services it offers are attractive to domestic banks in the increasingly competitive banking market in Central Europe because such banks can generally connect to Euronet's network with less labor and expense than building their own networks. In addition, banks can outsource the management of their proprietary ATM networks to the Company. These services allow banks to provide ATM access to their customers, expanding the range of banking services they offer. "Western" banks entering the Central European market are already accustomed to the concept of shared ATM networks and have begun to connect to Euronet's ATM network. Euronet's ATMs currently accept over 90% of the domestic credit and debit cards issued in Hungary and 25% of the credit and debit cards issued in Poland. In addition, all major international credit and debit cards, including those bearing the VISA, Plus, Europay, Mastercard and Cirrus logos and American Express cards, may be used at Euronet's ATMs located in Hungary and all VISA, Plus and American Express cards may be used at Euronet's ATMs located in Poland. The Company's strategy, for the short term, is to become the leading low-cost ATM service provider in Central Europe meeting western standards of reliability and customer service and, for the medium term, to become a leading provider of a broader range of electronic fund transfer services in the region. The key elements of Euronet's strategy are to expand its ATM network in Hungary, Poland and other Central European markets; continue to form strategic relationships with banks and International Card Organizations; expand the range of services offered beyond the basic cash withdrawal function, such as point of sale authorization and bill paying; and expand ATM network management services. The Company's principal executive offices are located at Zsigmond ter 10, H-1023 Budapest, Hungary, and its telephone number at such address is 011-361-335-1224. 3 5 THE OFFERING TOTAL SHARES OFFERED IN THE OFFERING(1).............. 5,300,000 Shares SHARES TO BE OFFERED BY THE COMPANY.................. 3,088,028 Shares SHARES TO BE OFFERED BY THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS..... 2,211,972 Shares SHARES TO BE OUTSTANDING AFTER THE OFFERING(1)(2)... 13,729,560 Shares OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION...... In connection with the Offering, the Company will grant to the Underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days from the date of this Prospectus to purchase up to 795,000 additional Shares, solely to cover over-allotments, if any, at the initial public offering price. See "Underwriting." USE OF PROCEEDS............ Assuming an offering price of $13 per Share (the midpoint of the range on the cover page of this Prospectus) and no exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters, the net proceeds to the Company and the Selling Shareholders from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, are estimated to be approximately $36.9 million and $26.8 million, respectively. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders. Approximately 80% to 90% of the proceeds to the Company will be used to implement the Company's strategy of expanding its independent ATM network in Hungary, Poland, Germany and other Central European markets. The remainder of the net proceeds to be received by the Company will be used for general corporate purposes, including possible acquisitions and joint ventures consistent with its strategic goals. See "Use of Proceeds." DIVIDENDS.................. The Company currently intends to retain all future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of its business. Consequently, the Company does not anticipate paying dividends on the Shares in the foreseeable future. See "Dividend Policy." PROPOSED LISTING...........

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period or for the full year ending December 31, 1996. The summary consolidated financial data with respect to the Company's statement of operations data for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 have been derived from the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the information contained therein. The Company believes that the period-to-period comparisons of its financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. The following information should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.

5 7 RISK FACTORS The Shares involve a high degree of risk. Accordingly, prospective purchasers of shares of Common Stock should consider carefully all of the information set forth in this Prospectus and, in particular, the risks described below, prior to making any investment decision. LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; HISTORY OF AND ANTICIPATED FUTURE OPERATING LOSSES AND NEGATIVE CASH FLOW The Company has had a limited operating history. For the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) to December 31, 1994, the year ended December 31, 1995 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company had net losses of approximately $228,000, $1.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, resulting in an aggregate net loss of $4.7 million as of September 30, 1996. The Company expects to continue to generate losses from operating activities while it concentrates on the development and expansion of its ATM network business. As a result of the Company's strategy of continuing expansion and increasing its market share, the Company's net losses are expected to increase over the near term. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability or generate significant revenues in the future or have sufficient resources at any time to pay cash dividends on the Shares. See "Consolidated Financial Statements" including the notes thereto, and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The development and expansion of the Company's ATM network and its ATM management services operations in Hungary, Poland, Germany and other Central European markets, and the resulting operating losses will require substantial additional cash from outside sources. The Company anticipates that its substantial cash requirements will continue into the foreseeable future. Based on the Company's plans with respect to the installation of ATMs and the provision of ATM management services in Hungary, Poland, Germany and other Central European markets in the near to medium term, and the Company's requirements with respect to related infrastructure and operational costs, management believes the net proceeds from the Offering and funds expected to be available through financing arrangements will provide sufficient funds necessary for the Company to expand its business as currently planned. There can be no assurance, however, that additional financing will not be required or will be available to the Company or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. Failure to obtain such financing could result in the delay or abandonment of some or all of the Company's acquisition, development and expansion plans and expenditures, which could have a material adverse effect on its business prospects and the value of the Shares and limit the Company's ability to pay cash dividends on the Shares. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources." RISKS RELATED TO RAPID EXPANSION OF BUSINESS The continued rapid expansion and development of the Company's business will depend on various factors including the increasing demand for ATM services in the Company's current target markets, the ability to locate appropriate sites and obtain necessary approvals for the installation of ATMs, the ability to install ATMs in an efficient and timely manner, the expansion of the Company's business into new countries as currently planned, entering into additional card acceptance agreements with banks, the ability to obtain sufficient numbers of ATMs on a timely basis and the availability of financing for such expansion. In addition, such expansion may involve acquisitions which, if made, could divert the resources and management time of the Company and require integration with the Company's existing networks and services. The Company's ability to manage effectively its rapid expansion will require it to continue to implement and improve its operating, financial and accounting systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability to manage effectively its planned expansion could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, growth, financial condition and results of operations. See "Business -- Strategy." 6 8 DEPENDENCE ON RELATIONSHIPS WITH BANKS AND INTERNATIONAL CARD ORGANIZATIONS The Company's future growth depends on its ability to sign card acceptance agreements with banks and International Card Organizations which allow the Company's ATMs to accept credit and debit cards issued by such banks and International Card Organizations as well as the renewal of such card acceptance agreements, which generally provide for a two to five year term. The Company's card acceptance agreements with banks generally include renewal clauses, but provide that either party may elect not to renew an agreement upon completion of its term. Banks may elect not to renew contracts for reasons unrelated to the Company and its performance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to sign or maintain such agreements on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company or that International Card Organizations will continue to permit Euronet's ATMs to accept their credit and debit cards. The inability to continue to sign or maintain such agreements or to continue to accept the credit and debit cards of local banks and International Card Organizations at its ATMs in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, growth, financial condition and results of operations. See "Business - -- Agreements with Card Issuers and International Card Organizations." DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL The Company is dependent upon the services of certain of its executive officers for the management of the Company and the implementation of its strategy. Euronet's strategy and its implementation depend in large part on the founders of the Company, in particular Michael Brown and Daniel Henry, and their continued involvement in the Company in the future. The success of the Company also depends in part upon its ability to hire and retain highly skilled and qualified operating, marketing, financial and technical personnel. The competition for qualified personnel in Central Europe is intense and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to hire or retain the required personnel. Although the Company's officers and certain of its key personnel have entered into service or employment agreements containing non-competition, non-disclosure and non-solicitation covenants and providing for the granting of incentive stock options with long-term vesting requirements, these contracts do not guarantee that these individuals will continue their employment with the Company. The loss of certain key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, growth, financial condition and results of operations. See "Management." DEPENDENCE ON ATM TRANSACTION FEES Transaction fees from banks and International Card Organizations for transactions processed on the Company's ATMs have historically accounted for substantially all of the Company's revenues. The Company expects that revenues from ATM transaction fees will continue to account for a substantial majority of its revenues for the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company's future operating results are almost entirely dependent on the increased issuance of credit and debit cards, increased market acceptance of Euronet's services in its target markets, the maintenance of the level of transaction fees received by the Company, installation by the Company of larger numbers of ATMs and continued usage of the Company's ATMs by credit and debit cardholders. A decline in usage of Euronet's ATMs by ATM cardholders or in the levels of fees received by Euronet in connection with such usage would have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, growth financial condition and results of operations. COMPETITION There are currently no other independent, non-bank owned ATM networks in Central Europe. Principal competitors of the Company include ATM networks owned by banks and regional networks consisting of consortiums of local banks. Competitive factors in the Company's business include network availability and response time, price, ATM location and access to other networks. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the future or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, growth, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that Euronet's competitors will not introduce or expand alternate methods of electronic funds transfer in the future which could lead to a decline in the usage of Euronet's ATMs. See "Business -- Competition." 7 9 HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE RISKS The Company conducts all of its operations through its subsidiaries. Accordingly, the primary internal source of the Company's cash is dividends and other distributions from its subsidiaries. Each of these subsidiaries was formed under the laws of, and has its operations in, a country other than the United States. In addition, each of the Company's operating subsidiaries receives its revenues in the local currency of the jurisdiction in which it is situated. As a consequence, the Company's ability to obtain dividends or other distributions is subject to, among other things, restrictions on dividends under applicable local laws and foreign currency exchange regulations of the jurisdictions in which its subsidiaries operate. See "-- Inflation; Exchange Rate and Currency Risk." The subsidiaries' ability to make distributions to the Company are also subject to their having sufficient funds from their operations legally available for the payment thereof which are not needed to fund their operations, obligations or other business plans and, in some cases, obtaining the approval of the other partners, stockholders or creditors of these entities. The laws under which the Company's operating subsidiaries are organized provide generally that dividends may be declared by the shareholders out of yearly profits subject to the maintenance of registered capital and required reserves and after the recovery of accumulated losses. If the Company's subsidiaries are unable to make distributions to the Company, the Company's growth may be inhibited after the proceeds of the Offering are exhausted unless the Company is able to obtain additional debt or equity financing. See "-- Political, Economic and Legal Risks." The Company may not be able to obtain debt financing if its subsidiaries cannot make distributions to service the debt financing or obtain upstream guarantees from its subsidiaries with respect to such debt financing. Because the Company is the sole shareholder of each of its subsidiaries, the Company's claims as such will generally rank junior to all other creditors of and claimants against its subsidiaries. In the event of a subsidiary's liquidation, there may not be assets sufficient for the Company to recoup its investment therein. POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND LEGAL RISKS The Company's principal operating subsidiaries currently operate in Hungary and Poland. These and other countries in Central Europe have undergone significant political and economic change in recent years. Changes in political, economic, social and other developments in such countries may in the future have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. In particular, changes in laws or regulations (or in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations), whether caused by change in the government of such countries or otherwise, could materially adversely affect the Company's business, growth, financial condition and results of operations. Currently there are no limitations on the repatriation of profits from Poland or Hungary, but there can be no assurance that foreign exchange control restrictions, taxes or limitations will not be imposed or increased in the future with regard to repatriation of earnings and investments from Poland and Hungary. If such exchange control restrictions, taxes or limitations are imposed, the ability of the Company to receive dividends or other payments from its subsidiaries could be reduced, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business -- Government Regulation." Annual inflation and interest rates in Hungary, Poland and other countries in Central Europe have been much higher than those in Western Europe. Exchange rate policies have not always allowed for the free conversion of currencies at the market rate. Fluctuations of inflation, interest and exchange rates could have an adverse effect on the Company's business and the market value of the Shares. Corporate, contract, property, insolvency, competition, securities and other laws and regulations in Hungary, Poland and other countries in Central Europe have been, and continue to be, substantially revised during their transition to market economies. Therefore, the interpretation and procedural safeguards of the new legal and regulatory systems are in the process of being developed and defined and existing laws and regulations may be applied inconsistently. Also, in some circumstances, it may not be possible to obtain the legal remedies provided for under those laws and regulations in a reasonably timely manner, if at all. In addition, transmittal of data by electronic means and telecommunications is subject to specific regulation in most Central European countries. Although such regulations have not had a material impact on the Company's business to date, there can be no assurance that any changes in such regulation, including taxation or limitations on transfers of data across national borders, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, growth, financial condition and results of operations. 8 10 Poland and Hungary generally are considered by international investors to be emerging markets. There can be no assurance that political, economic, social and other developments in other emerging markets will not have an adverse effect on the market value and liquidity of the Shares. INFLATION; EXCHANGE RATE AND CURRENCY RISK Although the transaction fees charged by the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars or inflation adjusted, the Company generally receives payment in local currency, primarily Hungarian forints and Polish zlotys. Since the fall of Communist rule, both Hungary and Poland have experienced high levels of inflation and significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for their currencies. The Polish government has adopted policies that slowed the annual rate of inflation from approximately 600% in 1990 to approximately 22% in 1995. In addition, the exchange rate for the zloty has stabilized and the rate of devaluation of the zloty has decreased since 1991. However, in Hungary in recent years, the forint has continued to depreciate, principally by way of devaluation, against the major currencies of the OECD and has limited convertibility to other currencies. Significant amounts of the Company's expenditures, including for the acquisition of ATMs and executive salaries are made in U.S. dollars or are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company attempts to match any assets denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars with liabilities denominated in the same currencies. Nonetheless inflation and currency exchange fluctuations have had, and may continue to have, an effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP After completion of the Offering, directors, officers and certain significant shareholders of the Company will own beneficially in the aggregate approximately 61% of the outstanding Shares. Such concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing transactions involving an actual or potential change in control of the Company, including transactions in which holders of Shares might receive a premium for their Shares over prevailing market prices. See "Principal and Selling Shareholders" and "Description of Capital Stock." ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS Certain provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") and By-Laws (the "By-Laws") and of Delaware law could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or impede a change in control of the Company. These provisions, among other things: (i) classify the Company's Board of Directors into three classes serving staggered three-year terms; (ii) permit the Board of Directors, without further stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock; and (iii) prohibit the Company from engaging in a business combination (as such term is defined in the Delaware law) with interested shareholders, except under certain circumstances. Such provisions could diminish the opportunities for a stockholder to participate in tender offers, including tender offers at a price above the then current market value of the Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock could also adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock. The Company has no present plans to issue any preferred stock. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Certain Provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws" and "-- Preferred Stock." DILUTION TO PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS Investors subscribing for Shares in the Offering will incur immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per Share of $10.12 (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option and an initial public offering price equal to $13 per Share (the midpoint of the range specified on the cover page of this Prospectus)). See "Dilution." ABSENCE OF PRIOR PUBLIC TRADING MARKET FOR THE SHARES Prior to the Offering, there has been no public trading market for the Shares. Application will be made to list the Shares on the Nasdaq National Market in the United States. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Shares will not decline below the initial public offering price, which was determined by negotiation among the Company and representatives of the Underwriters. See "Underwriting" for a description of the factors 9 11 considered in determining the initial public offering price of the Shares. The trading prices of the Shares may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many factors, including actual or anticipated period-to-period fluctuations in the Company's operating results, changes in currency exchange rates and other external factors, including general economic conditions in Poland, Hungary and the Company's other markets or other events or factors. In addition, the international stock markets have from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations which have particularly affected the market prices for early high-growth phase companies such as the Company. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market prices of the Shares. POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT OF SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Sales of substantial numbers of Shares following the Offering, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the Shares. The Company and its directors, officers and certain other shareholders have agreed not to offer for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person of), directly or indirectly, any Shares, with certain limited exceptions, for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of ING Barings on behalf of the Underwriters. Presently, 9,585,569 Shares, and 8,429,560 Shares after giving effect to the Offering (assuming the Underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised), held by the Company's existing shareholders are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Of such Shares, after giving effect to the Offering (assuming the Underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised), 434,217 Shares will be eligible for resale under Rule 144 immediately following the expiration of the 180-day lock-up period described above, 6,863,709 Shares, 466,669 Shares and 664,965 Shares will not be eligible for resale under Rule 144 until March 27, 1998, October 14, 1998 and February [20], 1999, respectively. Such Shares may be resold only in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. In addition, Michael Brown and the other existing shareholders of the Company were granted rights entitling them, under specified circumstances, to cause the Company to register for sale all or part of their shares of Common Stock and to include such shares in any registered public offerings of shares of Common Stock by the Company. See "Description of Share Capital -- Registration Rights", "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and "Underwriting." In addition, of the 2,857,911 options to purchase Shares outstanding, 2,018,494 are currently exercisable. Any Shares issued on the exercise of these options would be available for sale subject to Rule 701 or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (including Regulation S under the Securities Act) following the expiration of the 180-day lock-up period described above. Furthermore, the Company intends to register under the Securities Act, as soon as practicable following the Offering, approximately 3,094,511 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance to its employees and directors under its employee benefits plans. See "Management." 10 12 USE OF PROCEEDS Assuming an offering price of $13 per Share (the midpoint of the range on the cover page of this Prospectus) and no exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters, the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Shares being offered by the Company hereby, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, are estimated to be approximately $36.9 million. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders. The Company intends to use approximately 80% to 90% of the proceeds to cover expenditures relating to the expansion and operation of its ATM network and the provision of ATM management services in Hungary and Poland, as well as in Germany and other central European countries. The primary costs incurred to build and operate the Company's ATM network include installation of ATMs, customs, duties, lease payments of ATMs, computer and network equipment, telecommunications, salaries, ATM maintenance and service fees, insurance, and other related items. Approximately 10% to 20% of the proceeds will be reserved for possible acquisition and joint venture opportunities consistent with the Company's strategy of expanding its ATM network and other businesses. The Company regularly explores acquisition and joint venture opportunities, although it currently has no agreements or understandings to enter into any such transactions. Pending utilization of the net proceeds from the Offering, the Company intends to invest such proceeds in short-term investment grade interest-bearing securities. 11 13 DILUTION The Company's consolidated net tangible book value as of September 30, 1996 was $2.5 million. "Consolidated net tangible book value" is the consolidated book value of tangible assets less total liabilities. Investors subscribing for Shares in the Offering will incur immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per Share of $10.12 (assuming an initial public offering price of $13 per Share, the midpoint of the range specified on the cover page of this Prospectus). The following table illustrates the effect of the Offering on consolidated net tangible book value:
PER SHARE ----------------- Initial public offering price............................................. $13.00 Pro forma consolidated net tangible book value before the Offering(1)... $ 0.68 Increase in consolidated net tangible book value attributable to new investors............................................................ $ 3.20 Pro forma consolidated net tangible book value after the Offering......... $ 3.88 ------ Dilution to new investors purchasing Shares(2)............................ $ 9.12 ======
- --------------- (1) Pro forma consolidated net tangible book value before the Offering per Share is determined by dividing the Company's consolidated net tangible book value at September 30, 1996 by the number of Shares then outstanding. (2) Dilution, for this purpose, represents the difference between the initial public offering price per Share in the Offering and the pro forma consolidated net tangible book value per Share at September 30, 1996 after giving effect to the Offering. The following table sets forth on a pro forma basis as of September 30, 1996 the number of Shares issued by the Company, the total cash consideration paid to the Company, and the average price per Share paid by existing shareholders and by new investors purchasing the Shares offered by the Company hereby at an assumed initial public offering price of $13 per Share, the midpoint of the range specified on the cover page of this Prospectus:

- --------------- (1) Sales by Selling Shareholders of 2,211,972 Shares will reduce the number of Shares held by existing shareholders to 8,429,560, or 61%, and will increase the number of Shares held by new investors to 5,300,000 or 39%, of the total number of Shares outstanding after the Offering. See "Principal and Selling Shareholders." Includes 255,444 Shares to be issued upon the exercise of options in connection with the Offering and 800,520 Shares to be awarded in connection with the Offering. See "Management -- Stock Option Plans" and "Certain Transactions." (2) Excludes 2,857,911 Shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options to be outstanding upon completion of the Offering (of which options 2,018,494 will then be exercisable) at a weighted average exercise price of $1.77 per Share. See "Management -- Stock Option Plans." 12 14 DIVIDEND POLICY The Company currently intends to retain all future earnings to fund the development and growth of its business. Consequently, the Company does not anticipate paying dividends on the Shares in the foreseeable future. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Common Stock" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." 13 15 CAPITALIZATION The table below sets forth the cash and cash equivalents, short-term debt (including the current portion of long-term debt) and the capitalization of the Company on a consolidated basis at September 30, 1996 (i) on a historical basis for the Company's predecessor Euronet Holding N.V., (ii) on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Reorganization as if it had occurred on such date and (iii) as adjusted to reflect the completion of the Offering (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters and an offering price of $13 per share (the midpoint of the range on the cover page of this Prospectus)) and the receipt of the estimated net proceeds therefrom.

In May 1995, the Company opened its second office, in Warsaw. To date, Euronet has devoted substantially all of its resources to establishing its ATM network in Hungary and Poland through the acquisition and installation of ATMs and computers and software for its transaction processing center pursuant to capital leases and through the marketing of its services to local banks as well as International Card Organizations. Euronet installed its first ATM in Hungary in June 1995, and at the end of 1995, the Company had 53 ATMs installed. An additional 46 ATMs were installed during the first nine months of 1996 in Hungary and Poland and today the Company's ATM network consists of 165 ATMs. With the expansion of operations, the Company has increased the number of its employees in Hungary from nine as of December 31, 1994 to 27 as of December 31, 1995 and 36 as of September 30, 1996. In Poland, the Company increased the number of its employees from three as of September 30, 1995 to four as of December 31, 1995 and 18 as of September 30, 1996. The Company's expansion of its network infrastructure and administrative and marketing capabilities has resulted in increased expenditures. Further planned expansion will continue to result in substantial increases in general operating expenses as well as expenses related to the acquisition and installation of ATMs. The Company has derived substantially all of its revenues from ATM transaction fees since inception. Euronet receives a fee from the card issuing banks or International Card Organizations for ATM transactions processed on its ATMs. As the Company continues to focus on expanding its network and installing additional ATMs, the Company expects that transaction fees will continue to account for a substantial majority of its revenues for the foreseeable future. The Company recently began to sell advertising on its network by putting clients' advertisements on its ATMs. Although revenues from advertising have been insignificant to date, Euronet believes that advertising revenues will increase as it expands its network and continues to market this service. The Company also intends to begin generating revenues in May 1997 from ATM network management services that it offers to banks that own proprietary ATM networks. It is expected that revenues per transaction generated by the Company's ATM management services contracts generally will be lower than those generated by Acceptance Agreements. Due to lower costs resulting from not having to bear the expense of purchasing, installing and depreciating ATMs, the Company believes that it nonetheless should obtain margins on providing such services similar to those obtained in operating its own ATM network where the Company bears the costs associated with acquiring and installing the ATMs. See "Business -- Other Services." The Company was in its "start-up" phase, without significant operations or significant revenues, in all periods under discussion. In addition, the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) to December 31, 1994 does not represent a full year of operations. As a result, a comparison of the Company's results of operations between such periods is not necessarily meaningful. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO THE PERIOD FROM JUNE 22, 1994 (INCEPTION) TO DECEMBER 31, 1994 Revenues. Total revenues increased to $638,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $9,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. This increase was due primarily to the significant increase in transaction fees resulting from the increase in transaction volume attributable to additional network connections to credit and debit card issuers and an increase in the number of ATMs operated by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Transaction fee revenue represented approximately 90% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and increased to $577,000 from $9,000 for the same period in 1995. Transaction fees charged by the Company vary for the three types of transactions that can currently be processed on the Company's ATMs: cash withdrawals, balance inquiries and transactions not completed because 17 19 authorization is not given by the relevant Card Issuer. Approximately 87% of transaction fees in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were attributable to cash withdrawals, and 13% were attributable to balance inquiries and transactions not completed because authorization is not given by the relevant Card Issuer. Transaction fees for cash withdrawals are generally in excess of $1.00 per transaction while transaction fees for the other two types of transactions are generally substantially less. Other revenues of $61,000 for the first nine months of 1996 consisted primarily of advertising revenue. The Company generated revenues of $62,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995 and the Company generated no revenues during the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) through December 31, 1994. The Company had no ATMs installed until June 1995 and it had 53 ATMs installed at the end of 1995. Revenues in the year ended December 31, 1995 consisted entirely of transaction fees. Operating expenses. Total expenses increased by $1.9 million to $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. This increase was due primarily to costs associated with the installation of significant numbers of ATMs during the period and expansion of the Company's operations during the period. Total expenses increased by $1.9 million to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $240,000 for the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) through December 31, 1994. This increase was due primarily to costs associated with the installation of significant numbers of ATMs during the period and significant expansion of the Company's operations during the period, including the installation of additional ATMs. ATM operating costs, which consist primarily of ATM site rentals, depreciation of ATMs and costs associated with installing and maintaining ATMs and providing telecommunications and cash delivery services to ATMs increased $714,000 to $941,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $227,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The percentage of ATM operating costs to total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 grew to 28% as compared to 16% for the same period in 1995. The increase in ATM operating costs was primarily attributable to costs associated with operating the increased number of ATMs in the network during the period. The number of ATMs installed increased from 16 to 99 from September 30, 1995 to September 30, 1996. ATM operating costs increased $469,000 to $510,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $41,000 for the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) through December 31, 1994. The increase in ATM operating costs was primarily attributable to the installation of 53 ATMs during 1995. Professional fees increased $566,000 to $828,000 for nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $262,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. This increase was due primarily to legal fees incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 attributable to the interim reorganization of the Company into a Netherlands Antilles Company and the expansion of the Company's operations into Poland. In connection with the Offering, the Company was reorganized as a Delaware corporation. Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased to $394,000 from $64,000 for the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) through December 31, 1994. The increase in 1995 was due primarily to legal fees attributable to the execution of an agreement with the Company's investors providing for additional investments by investors in the Company, the acquisition of SatComNet Kft., a shell entity with minimal operations, and additional card acceptance agreements. Salaries increased $475,000 to $716,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $241,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase reflected the increase in the number of employees in the Company, especially in Poland where the number of employees increased from three to 18 from September 30, 1995 to September 30, 1996. In Hungary, the Company increased the number of employees to 36 at September 30, 1996 compared to 25 employees at September 30, 1995. Salaries increased to $452,000 in the year ended December 31, 1995 from $49,000 in the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) through December 31, 1994. The increase reflected the significant increase in the number of employees in the Company during 1995. 18 20 The Company had foreign exchange losses of $88,000, $168,000, $158,000, and $2,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the year ended December 31, 1995, and for the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) through December 31, 1994, respectively. Exchange gains and losses resulting from remeasurement of assets and liabilities are recognized in income when they occur. See Note 2(c) of the Consolidated Financial Statements. A substantial portion of assets and liabilities of the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars, including, for instance, shareholders' equity and capital lease obligations. Additionally, it is the Company's policy to attempt to match local currency receivables and payables. Hence, the amount of unmatched assets and liabilities giving rise to foreign exchange gains and losses is relatively limited, consisting mostly of cash and cash equivalents. Other expenses, which includes general and administrative expenses other than salaries, such as office rent, utilities, travel expenses and lease restructuring costs, increased $236,000 to $775,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $539,000 for the same period in 1995. This increase was due primarily to the growth of operations in both Hungary and Poland. Other expenses increased to $656,000 in the year ended December 31, 1995 from $84,000 for the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) through December 31, 1994. This increase was due primarily to expansion of the Company's operations during 1995. Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 include $76,000 and $133,000, respectively, of expenses which the Company has recorded as charges for penalties relating to the late payments of customs duties and Hungarian value added taxes in connection with the restructuring of its ATM leases in Hungary. Prior to this restructuring, such leases were structured as operating leases for Hungarian accounting purposes (although treated as capital leases for U.S. GAAP purposes), and its ATMs have therefore been imported under a temporary import scheme. The ATMs are subject to a "re-export" requirement and this has the effect of postponing payment of customs duties. The Company has decided to restructure such lease arrangements as capital leases for Hungarian accounting purposes, and the Company recorded the related penalties as other expenses. Customs duties have been capitalized as part of the cost of the ATMs under capital lease and depreciated over the useful lives of the ATMs. Other income/expense. Interest income increased $70,000 to $177,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $107,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase was due to larger amounts held in interest bearing accounts during the nine months ended September 30, 1996, including restricted cash held as security for certain of the Company's vendors, banks supplying cash to Euronet's ATMs and certain other parties. See "-- Liquidity and Capital Resources". Interest expense relating principally to capital leases of ATMs and Euronet's computer systems increased $161,000 to $241,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $80,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995. This increase was due primarily to the increase of capital lease obligations outstanding during the period. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased $114,000 to $126,000 from $12,000 for the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) through December 31, 1994. This increase reflected larger amounts held in interest bearing accounts during the period. Interest expense increased to $107,000 in the year ended December 31, 1995 from none in the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) through December 31, 1994. This increase was due primarily to the installation of the Company's first ATMs during 1995 and the associated capital lease interest costs. Net loss. The Company's net loss increased $1.3 million to $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as a result of the factors discussed. The Company's net loss increased to $1.9 million during the year ended December 31, 1995 from $228,000 for the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) through December 31, 1994 as a result of the factors discussed. 19 21 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since its inception, the Company has sustained negative cash flows from operations and has financed its operations and capital expenditures primarily through private placements of equity securities and through equipment lease financing. The net proceeds of such transactions, together with revenues from operations and interest income have been used to fund aggregate net losses of approximately $4.7 million and investments in property, plant and equipment. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $776,000 and working capital of $(370,000) at September 30, 1996. The Company also had $783,000 of restricted cash held as security with respect to cash provided by banks participating in Euronet's ATM network, to cover guarantees to a customer, as deposits with customs officials and as deposits relating to ATM equipment leases. The Company leases the majority of its ATMs under two principal capital lease arrangements that expire in July 1999 and January 2001, respectively. The leases bear interest at 15% and 11%, respectively. As of September 30, 1996 the Company owed approximately $2.9 million under such capital lease arrangements. The amount owed by the Company under such lease agreements is expected to increase significantly as the Company continues to lease increased numbers of ATMs in pursuit of its business strategy. The Company expects that its capital requirements will increase in the future as it pursues its strategy of expanding its network and increasing the number of ATMs installed. The Company anticipates that its capital expenditures for the 12 months ending December 31, 1997 will total approximately $9 million, primarily in connection with the acquisition of ATMs pursuant to capital leases, including initial down payments and scheduled capital lease payments, and related installation costs. Aggregate capital expenditures for 1997 and 1998 for such purposes are expected to reach approximately $30 million. These requirements contemplate both planned expansion in Hungary and Poland and expected expansion in Germany and certain other Central European markets. Acquisitions of related businesses in Central Europe in furtherance of the Company's strategy would require additional capital expenditures. The Company anticipates that the estimated net proceeds of the Offering and the interest earned thereon, together with its existing capital resources and anticipated cash flow from planned operations, will be adequate to satisfy its capital requirements, capital lease payment obligations and other requirements, including possible acquisitions, until the Company begins to generate sufficient cash flows to fund its operations. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability or generate significant revenues in the future. It is possible that the Company may seek additional equity or debt financing in the future. INFLATION Since the fall of Communist rule, both Hungary and Poland have experienced high levels of inflation and significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for their currencies. In particular, the Hungarian forint has continued to depreciate, principally by way of devaluation, against the major currencies of the OECD in recent years and has limited ability to convert to other currencies. Although revenues generally are received by the Company in local currency, primarily Hungarian forints and Polish zlotys, the Company's Acceptance Agreements and agreements relating to the provision of ATM management services generally provide for fees denominated in U.S. dollars or that are inflation adjusted. A significant portion of the Company's expenditures, including costs associated with the acquisition of ATMs and executive salaries, are made in or are denominated in U.S. dollars. A substantial portion of the assets and liabilities of the Company are also denominated in U.S. dollars, including shareholders' equity and capital lease obligations. The Company attempts to match local currency receivables and payables. Hence, the amount of unmatched assets and liabilities giving rise to foreign exchange gains and losses is relatively limited, consisting mostly of cash and cash equivalents. Nonetheless, to the extent that inflation exceeds the devaluation of local currencies, the financial condition and results of operations of the Company may be affected by inflation in the countries where its operations are located. 20 22 BUSINESS OVERVIEW Euronet operates the only independent, non-bank owned automatic teller machine ("ATM") network in Central Europe, as a service provider to banks and other financial institutions. The Company was established in 1994 currently operates a network of 165 state of the art ATMs, 130 of which are located in Hungary and 35 of which are located in Poland. Through agreements and relationships with local banks and international card issuers and ATM networks such as American Express, VISA, Plus, Mastercard, Europay and Cirrus (together "International Card Organizations") Euronet's ATMs are able to process ATM transactions for holders of credit and debit cards issued by or bearing the logo of such banks and International Card Organizations. The Company receives a fee from the card issuing banks or International Card Organizations for all ATM transactions processed on its ATMs. The Company also offers outsourced ATM management services to local banks that own proprietary ATM networks for which the Company also receives fees on a per transaction basis as well as on a monthly basis. The Company believes that the services it provides permit it to capitalize on the trends developing in the Central European banking market. Bank account usage and credit and debit card issuance are increasing in Central Europe as the demand for banking services continues to grow in the region. Connecting to the Company's ATM network enables banks to offer their customers the convenience of cash withdrawal and balance inquiry services in numerous off-site locations without incurring additional branch operational costs. In addition, the Company believes that the services it offers are attractive to domestic banks in the increasingly competitive banking market in Central Europe because such banks can generally connect to Euronet's network with less labor and expense than building their own networks. In addition, banks can outsource the management of their proprietary ATM networks to the Company. These services allow banks to provide ATM access to their customers, expanding the range of banking services they offer. "Western" banks entering the Central European market are already accustomed to the concept of shared ATM networks and have also begun to connect to Euronet's ATM network. Euronet's ATM machines currently accept over 90% of the domestic credit and debit cards issued in Hungary and 25% of the credit and debit cards issued in Poland. In addition, all major international credit and debit cards, including those bearing the VISA, Plus, Europay, Mastercard and Cirrus logos and American Express cards, may be used at Euronet's ATMs located in Hungary and all VISA, Plus and American Express cards may be used at Euronet's ATMs located in Poland. HISTORY The predecessor of Euronet was founded in 1994 by Michael Brown and Daniel Henry in Budapest. Mr. Brown previously founded Innovative Software and, subsequent to its merger with Informix Software Inc. (Informix), served as President of Informix. Mr. Brown currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In February 1995, the Company became the first independent ATM network in Europe to be approved by VISA International to process ATM transactions for VISA/Plus credit and debit cards. In May 1995, the Company established its second office, in Warsaw. To date the Company has invested approximately $6.5 million in operational and capital expenditures to establish its independent ATM network. Euronet's first ATM was installed in Hungary in June 1995 and its ATM network today consists of 165 ATMs. The Company currently employs 55 employees in Hungary, Poland and Germany. Euronet's annual revenues have grown from none for the period from June 22, 1994 (inception) to December 31, 1994 to $62,000 in 1995 and $638,000 in the first nine months of 1996. In March 1996, the predecessor of the Company was reorganized as a holding company, Euronet Holding N.V., in the Netherlands Antilles. Euronet Services Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in December 1996 and, conditional upon the execution of the underwriting agreement to be executed in connection with the Offering, (i) 9,585,569 shares of its Common Stock will be issued to the shareholders of Euronet Holding N.V. in exchange for all of the Common Shares of Euronet Holding N.V., (ii) options to acquire 3,113,355 shares of its Common Stock will be granted to the holders of options to acquire 3,113,355 Common Shares of Euronet Holding N.V. in exchange for all of such options and (iii) awards with respect to 800,520 shares of its Common Stock will be issued to the holders of awards with respect to 800,520 preferred 21 23 shares of Euronet Holding N.V. in exchange for all such awards. Euronet Holding N.V. will be dissolved following the Reorganization. STRATEGY The Company's strategy, for the short term, is to become the leading low-cost ATM service provider in Central Europe meeting western standards of reliability and customer service and, for the medium term, to become a leading provider of a broader range of electronic fund transfer services in the region. The key elements of Euronet's strategy are as follows: Expanding its ATM Network in Hungary, Poland and other Central European Markets. Euronet plans to increase substantially the number of ATMs it operates and services in Hungary, Poland and other countries in Central Europe, including Germany, over the next five years. Toward this goal, Euronet currently has agreements with IBM World Trade Corporation ("IBM") (the supplier of Diebold ATMs in Europe) and NCR Corporation ("NCR") under which IBM and NCR will provide up to 800 ATMs for installation by Euronet in the region over the next two years. In addition, the Company has entered into agreements providing for 50 additional sites for Euronet ATMs in Poland and Hungary and the Company has identified or is currently in negotiations for approximately 100 new ATM sites in Poland, 40 new ATM sites in Hungary and 60 new ATM sites in Germany. The Company's current goal is to have in operation, or to provide ATM network management services with respect to, between 2,500 to 3,000 ATMs in Central Europe by the end of the year 2000. Thereafter, the Company currently intends to continue to increase the number of ATMs in its network and to increase the number of ATMs with respect to which it provides ATM network management services for the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to achieve these goals will depend on various factors including the increased demand for ATM services in the Company's current target markets, the ability to locate appropriate sites and obtain necessary approvals for the installation of ATMs, the ability to install ATMs in an efficient and timely manner, the expansion of the Company's business into new countries as currently planned, entering into additional Acceptance Agreements with banks, the ability to obtain sufficient numbers of ATMs on a timely basis and the availability of financing for such expansion. Forming Strategic Relationships with Banks and International Card Organizations. It is the Company's goal to be able to accept all credit and debit cards issued in its markets at its ATMs. The Company has entered into agreements with most of the banks in Hungary that issue credit and debit cards and Euronet's ATMs are able to accept over 90% of all credit and debit cards issued by Hungarian banks. The Company is attempting to follow this pattern in Poland. Since the establishment of operations in Poland in May 1995, Euronet has entered into agreements to accept credit and debit cards issued by Wielkopolski Bank Kredytowy S.A., Bank Depozytowo-Kredytowy w Lublinie S.A. and Bank Wspoffipracy Regionalnej S.A. Krakow which, together with all domestically issued VISA cards, allows the Company's ATMs to accept approximately 25% of all credit and debit cards issued by Polish banks. The Company is actively pursuing contracts to accept credit and debit cards from all other major banks in Poland, and will do the same in each market it decides to enter. The Company's ATMs are able to accept American Express cards and all credit and debit cards bearing the VISA/Plus logos in Hungary and Poland and all credit and debit cards bearing the Europay/Mastercard/Cirrus logos in Hungary. The Company believes that, in addition to providing transaction revenues, acceptance by such large international ATM card issuers and ATM transaction authorization centers gives the Company credibility with local banks as it enters new markets. Therefore, the Company will continue to pursue relationships with such entities in each market it enters. Expanding the Range of Services Offered. The Company plans to take advantage of the various distribution possibilities of ATMs and credit and debit cards beyond basic cash withdrawal and balance inquiry functions by providing innovative services through ATMs and other methods of electronic funds transfer as new technology develops and the demand for such services grows in its markets. The Company is in the unique position of having connections to the transaction authorization centers of banks that have issued over 90% of credit and debt cards in Hungary. In the future, these connections could allow the Company to act as a central "switch" or connection whereby point of sale authorization can be given for purchases made with credit and debit cards at retail 22 24 locations. As the Company develops its business in Poland and connects more Polish banks to its network, this capability may also develop in Poland. Euronet also plans to introduce payment processing capabilities on its ATMs which will allow ATM card holders to pay bills at ATMs. The Company is currently working to develop an ATM bill paying system that will be made available to utilities and other service providers for bills that have traditionally required payment in person at a post office or other central location. Depending on demand, the Company may also introduce other ATM services currently available in other markets, including the ability to check stock or mutual fund account balances and purchase items such as stamps, theatre tickets and travellers checks at its ATM machines. The Company's ATMs are modular and upgradeable so they can be adapted for use with new technologies including computer chip "smart cards" and "electronic purses". Such devices are electronic debit cards that can be used to withdraw cash from ATMs and can be "charged up" with electronic funds at an ATM through a connection with the cardholder's bank via Euronet's network and used to purchase goods from retail locations. In addition, the Company plans to continue to sell advertising on its ATMs allowing clients to put advertisements on the ATM's videoscreens, on receipts issued by the ATMs and on coupons dispensed with cash from the ATMs. Expanding ATM Network Management Services. The Company also offers full-service ATM network management services to banks that own proprietary ATM networks. Because of the economies of scale involved, the Company can purchase ATMs, computer equipment, maintenance, telecommunications services, and can contract with third parties for cash delivery services, less expensively than most banks in Central Europe. By acquiring these services and this equipment less expensively, and by running a focused operation, the Company can provide out-sourced ATM services in most cases less expensively than banks can perform the same functions internally. In December 1996, the Company signed an agreement with Budapest Bank to manage its network of over 120 ATMs in Hungary. THE CENTRAL EUROPEAN FINANCIAL SERVICES MARKET The economies of the Central European countries, including Hungary and Poland, are essentially cash based because efficient electronic funds transfer, ATM services and check cashing and clearing facilities have not yet developed. Most employees in these countries have historically been paid in cash and most purchases and bills have been paid for in cash. As a result, bank account usage has been relatively low in Central Europe compared to Western Europe and the United States, and the banking industry in Central Europe is less developed than in Western Europe and the United States. The Central European banking industry has generally been characterized by low levels of customer service, limited opening hours and long waits to complete simple transactions. Electronic banking, including electronic funds transfer, ATM and point of sale services have recently been introduced in the region, but are still in the early stages of development. In recent years bank account usage in Central Europe has grown substantially as a result of several factors. Legislation recently passed in Hungary requires that all civil servants receive their salary via direct deposit to bank accounts or in cash by mail in order to reduce administrative costs associated with a cash-based payroll system. Many private companies in Hungary and Poland have also begun issuing their payroll by direct deposit to bank accounts. As a result, many people who ordinarily would not have bank accounts have been forced to open accounts to access their salary. Given the nature of the banking system in these countries, ATMs are the most convenient method for such employees to access their salary. The Company expects that continued utilization of the bank transfer method of administering payroll will lead to increased bank account usage and increased demand for ATM services in Central Europe. In addition, the retail banking industry in Central Europe has become increasingly competitive in recent years partly because foreign banks have been permitted to establish branches or invest in local banks in the region. Many banks in Central Europe have begun to implement strategies for serving and attracting a larger portion of the retail market in this competitive environment. Electronic banking is one of the obvious extensions of customer service options available to increase customer service and enhance customer loyalty. The Company 23 25 believes that as banks in Central Europe increase customer and electronic banking services, bank account usage and credit and debit card issuance and usage will increase. In Hungary, the Company estimates that as of December 31, 1996 approximately 22% of the population had bank accounts which represents an increase from an estimated 8% of the population at the same time in 1995. The first ATM card was issued in Hungary in 1989 and as of December 31, 1996, the Company estimates that there were approximately 1.1 million debit and credit cards issued in Hungary, which reflects an increase of more than 50% over the estimated number of credit and debit cards issued as of the same time in 1995. The Company believes that there were approximately 1,080 ATM machines installed in Hungary as of December 31, 1996, 130 of which were owned by the Company. The Company estimates that, based on industry sources, the average number of ATM transactions per machine on a nationwide basis per month in Hungary in 1996 was approximately 1,200. The Polish banking industry is in the very beginning stages of advanced retail customer service, credit and debit card issuance and electronic banking services. According to industry sources, it is estimated that approximately 15% of the population have bank accounts. The Company believes that the market for retail banking services in Poland is developing rapidly. The Company estimates that there are currently more than 800,000 international and domestic credit and debit cards and approximately 450 ATMs in Poland compared to less than 200,000 total credit and debit cards issued and less than 250 ATMs operating one year ago. An important factor affecting the increase in bank account usage and credit and debit card issuance in Central Europe is the growth in the issuance of VISA and Europay credit and debit cards tied to local bank accounts. The banks in Hungary and Poland originally issued VISA and Europay cards only to their best customers at relatively unfavorable terms which often included a high deposit of hard currency earning little or no interest, high percentage charges per transaction and high annual fees. Competitive pressure has led to more favorable terms and the issuance of VISA, Europay and proprietary cards to maintain and attract customers. As of December 1996, there were approximately 125,000 VISA cards issued in Poland, compared with less than 10,000 VISA cards in 1992. As of March 31, 1996, there were approximately 110,000 VISA cards issued in Hungary, representing an increase of 40% from 80,000 VISA cards as from December 31, 1995. The first Europay card was issued in Poland in 1995 and as of December 1996, there were approximately 200,000 Europay cards issued in Poland. As of March 31, 1996, there was approximately 336,000 Europay cards issued in Hungary which represents an increase of 12% from 300,000 Europay cards as of December 31, 1995. The German ATM market, the Company's next target market for the provision of ATM management services, is more developed than the Company's other markets. As of December 31, 1996 the Company estimates that, based on industry sources, there were approximately 38,000 ATMs and 70 million credit and debit cards issued in Germany. The Company believes, however, that the ATM market in the former East Germany is less developed and Euronet intends to focus its ATM strategy in Germany on this region. Under German law, ATMs are subject to essentially the same licensing requirements as bank branches and may only be operated by licensed financial institutions. The Company intends to be a service provider to banks and it does not anticipate that it will be subject to German financial institution licensing requirements. As a result of an agreement between certain card issuing banks in Germany, all ATMs in Germany can accept virtually all credit and debit cards issued by German financial institutions. An agreement to provide ATM management services to one bank in Germany will therefore result in ATMs managed by Euronet being able to accept virtually all credit and debit cards issued by German financial institutions. The ATM market is still in its early stages of development in Central Europe. Based on examples of growth of ATM markets in other countries, the Company believes that the Central European market should continue to develop rapidly. For example, Portugal, which is one of the most recently developed ATM markets in Europe, has seen substantial growth in its ATM market since ATMs and credit and debit cards were first introduced in 1985. By 1996 there were approximately 5 million credit and debit cards issued in Portugal which has a population of approximately 10 million people. In addition, the number of ATMs in use in Portugal has grown to over 3,000 at the end of 1995. These ATMs processed approximately 200 million ATM transactions in 1995. 24 26 THE EURONET NETWORK GENERAL The Company currently operates ATMs in Hungary and Poland and plans to extend its network and its ATM management services operations to Germany, the Czech Republic and other countries in Central Europe. Euronet's ATM network offers banks an opportunity to provide state-of-the-art electronic financial services and access to an ATM network to their customers at a considerably lower cost than installing proprietary ATMs. Connecting to Euronet's ATM network also augments the number of ATMs available to customers of banks that already maintain their own ATM networks. The technology utilized to build Euronet's ATM network is designed to be readily accessible and easy to use. The Company currently has 130 ATMs installed in Hungary, primarily in the country's six largest cities. Euronet has entered into agreements ("Acceptance Agreements") with most major banks in Hungary that issue ATM cards allowing all credit and debit cards issued by such banks to be accepted at Euronet's ATMs. In addition, the Company has entered into agreements with American Express and sponsor banks that are members of VISA International and Europay/Mastercard/Cirrus allowing cards issued by American Express and those cards bearing the VISA, Plus, Europay, Mastercard and Cirrus logos to be used at Euronet's ATMs in Hungary. As a result of these agreements, Euronet's ATMs in Hungary accept over 90% of the domestic debit and credit cards issued in Hungary and all major international credit and debit cards. Euronet currently has 35 ATMs installed in Poland. Euronet has executed Acceptance Agreements with Polish banks accounting for approximately 25% of the credit and debit cards issued by Polish banks. The Company has also entered into agreements with American Express and a sponsor bank affiliated with VISA International allowing all cards issued by American Express and all credit and debit cards bearing the VISA and Plus logos to be used at Euronet's ATMs in Poland. The Company intends to pursue a strategy similar to that employed in Hungary in order to reach agreements allowing all credit and debit cards issued in Poland to be used at Euronet's ATMs. In a typical ATM transaction processed by the Company, a debit or credit cardholder inserts a credit or debit card into an ATM to withdraw funds or obtain a balance inquiry. The transaction is routed from the ATM to Euronet's central authorization and processing center (the "Processing Center"). The Company's Processing Center computers then identify the card issuing banks or International Card Organizations (the "Card Issuers") by the bank identification number contained within the card's magnetic strip. The transaction is then switched to the Card Issuer or its designated processor for authorization. Once authorization is received, the authorization message is routed back to the ATM and the transaction is completed. [DIAGRAM OF TYPICAL ATM TRANSACTION] For banks that do not maintain on-line account balance information for their cardholders, the Company stores such banks' cardholders' account information on its Processing Center computers and authorizes transactions on 25 27 behalf of such banks. The Company transmits records of all transactions processed in this manner to such banks which then update their own cardholder account records. Authorization of ATM transactions processed on Euronet's ATMs is the responsibility of the Card Issuer. Euronet is not liable for dispensing cash in error if it receives a proper authorization message from a Card Issuer. Euronet receives payment from the issuer of the credit or debit card used in a transaction for processing the transaction, including for transactions that are not completed because authorization is not given by the relevant Card Issuer. The fees charged by Euronet to the Card Issuers are independent of any fees charged by the Card Issuers to cardholders in connection with the ATM transactions. The Company does not charge the cardholders a fee for using its ATMs. In many cases the fee charged by a Card Issuer to a cardholder in connection with a transaction processed at Euronet's ATMs is less than the fee charged by Euronet to the Card Issuer. The average number of transactions processed each month at Euronet's ATMs in Hungary in the last three months of 1996 has increased approximately 25% per month. In the last three months of 1996, Euronet's ATMs in Hungary averaged 1,716 transactions per ATM per month (1,162 of which were cash withdrawals). ATM Location The Company believes that one of the most important factors in determining the success of an ATM network is the location of the ATMs. While most ATMs owned by Central European banks are located on the premises of the banks or its branches or on premises of large employers paying their employees by direct deposit, all of Euronet's ATMs are located in non-bank sites. The Company's strategy in pursuing sites for its ATMs is to concentrate on locations that will provide high visibility and high cardholder utilization. As part of its strategy, the Company identifies the major high pedestrian traffic regions and locations where people need access to cash and find it convenient to stop for cash. Key target locations for Euronet's ATMs include major shopping malls and intersections; smaller shopping areas or intersections offering grocery stores and supermarkets and services where people routinely shop; transportation hubs such as city bus and tram/subway stops, rail and bus stations, airports, and gas stations; and the tourist and entertainment centers such as historical sections of cities, cinemas, and recreational facilities. Research conducted in the United States indicates that once a cardholder establishes a habitual pattern of using a particular ATM, there must be significant problems with a location, such as a machine frequently being out of service, to change the pattern of usage of a cardholder. It is the Company's goal to be the first and the fastest to secure key real estate locations and become the habitual ATM location of card users in its markets. In Hungary, the Company has obtained agreements to install ATMs at several outlets of Julius Meinl, a large grocery chain in Hungary, several McDonald's restaurants, several ARAL, OMV and Shell gas stations, Tesco supermarkets, Ikea as well as other major retail sites in Budapest, Debrecen, Kaposvar, Gyor and Szekesfehervar. In Poland, the Company has signed contracts to place ATMs in many key locations including McDonald's restaurants, British Petroleum, Shell and ARAL gas stations, Marriott Hotels, Office Depot, Makro Cash and Carry and Ikea stores, Casinos Poland, and other hotel and retail outlets in the Polish cities of Warsaw, Szczecin, Gdansk, Poznan, Lodz, Lublin, Krakow, Katowice, Wroclaw and Czestochowa. It is the Company's strategy to expand its relationships with such large multinational companies to obtain additional sites for ATMs in other markets. Before expanding to Poland, Euronet had placed ATMs at Shell, McDonald's and ARAL locations in Hungary. The Company recently installed ATMs in the new 450,000 square foot Duna Plaza shopping mall in Budapest and in the new 600,000 square foot Polus Centre shopping mall in Budapest. The Company's agreements for the location of ATMs generally provide for the location of one or more ATMs inside or adjacent to the premises of the site provider at minimal rental rates. In Hungary, the agreements generally provide for an indefinite term. In Poland, the agreements generally provide for a three to five year term and are renewable for additional three to five year terms. In some cases, the site providers pay the Company a rental fee for the ATM in recognition of the benefits that an ATM can bring to a retail outlet. The Company's leases for ATM sites generally can only be terminated by a site provider if the Company defaults on its obligations. To date, none of the Company's leases have been terminated by site providers. The Company can generally terminate its leases for ATM sites in Poland if transaction volumes at a site are unacceptable to the Company and can generally terminate its leases for ATM sites in Hungary for any reason. 26 28 Agreements with Card Issuers and International Card Organizations The Company's Acceptance Agreements with banks generally provide that all credit and debit cards issued by the banks may be used at all ATM machines operated by Euronet. The Acceptance Agreements also generally allow Euronet to receive transaction authorization directly from the card issuing bank or International Card Organization. Acceptance Agreements generally provide for a term of three to five years and are generally automatically renewed unless notice is given by either party prior to the termination date. The Company generally is able to connect any bank to its network within 30 to 90 days of signing an Acceptance Agreement. In addition to the Acceptance Agreements with local banks, Euronet has entered into Acceptance Agreements with American Express providing for the acceptance of all credit and debit cards issued by American Express at all of Euronet's ATMs in Hungary and Poland. Through agreements with local sponsor banks in Hungary and Poland, Euronet is able to accept all credit and debit cards bearing the VISA, Plus, Mastercard, Europay and Cirrus logos at its ATM in Hungary and all credit and debit cards bearing the VISA and Plus logos at its ATMs in Poland. These arrangements permit Euronet's ATMs to accept credit and debit cards issued by domestic and foreign financial institutions bearing the relevant logos. Euronet has a gateway to the central authorization centers for VISA/Plus and Mastercard/Europay/Cirrus through local bank sponsors in Hungary and Poland and has direct access to American Express authorization centers. Prior to being permitted to accept VISA/Plus, Mastercard/Europay/Cirrus and American Express cards at its ATMs, the Company was required to demonstrate that it met all standards set by International Card Organizations to process transactions for such International Card Organizations. Banks that execute Acceptance Agreements agree to participate in Euronet's ATM cash supply system. According to this system the banks provide all of the cash needed to operate the network. Each bank provides its pro rata share of cash dispensed to cardholders from Euronet's ATMs each day based upon daily transaction reports generated by Euronet. Cash provided by the banks is deposited by a third party security company in Euronet's ATMs generally once or twice a week depending on need. Each banking day, card issuing banks connected to the Euronet network provide cash to the Company's settlement agent based upon the prior day's transaction reports. The cash remains the property of the banks until it is dispensed to cardholders. The Company maintains insurance with respect to the cash while it is held in its ATMs. The ATM transaction fees charged by Euronet under the Acceptance Agreements vary depending on the type of transaction executed (cash withdrawals; balance inquiries; and transactions not completed because authorization is not given by the relevant Card Issuer) and the quantity of transactions attributable to a particular Card Issuer. The transaction fee charged to Card Issuers for cash withdrawals is in excess of $1.00 per transaction while transaction fees for the other two types of transactions that can currently be processed on Euronet's ATMs are generally substantially less. Under the terms of the Acceptance Agreements, Euronet charges ATM transaction fees to the card issuing banks. Card issuing banks generally agree not to charge their cardholders more for using Euronet's ATMs than the banks' own ATMs and generally charge lower fees or no fees at all for cardholders that use Euronet's ATMs. The Acceptance Agreements generally provide for payment in local currency but transaction fees are denominated in U.S. dollars or inflation adjusted. Transaction fees are billed on terms no longer than one month. It is expected that the Company's agreement with its sponsor bank in Germany to manage and install ATMs for the sponsor bank will provide for fees similar to those paid with respect to Acceptance Agreements. The Company's agreements to provide ATM management services, other than in Germany, will provide for monthly management fees plus fees payable for each transaction. The tables below indicate the banks that have Acceptance Agreements with the Company. BANKS IN HUNGARY Orszagos Takarekpenztar es Kereskedelmi Bank Rt. Magyar Kulkereskedelmi Bank Rt.

The banks in Hungary that have signed Acceptance Agreements have issued an aggregate of approximately 800,000 credit and debit cards. The banks in Poland that have signed Acceptance Agreements, have issued an aggregate of 124,000 credit and debit cards. Through the Company's arrangements with sponsor banks in Hungary and Poland, Euronet's ATMs are able to accept all VISA/Plus and Europay/Mastercard/Cirrus cards in Hungary and all VISA/Plus cards in Poland regardless of whether the card issuing bank is connected to the Euronet network. ATM Network Technology The Company uses IBM/Diebold and NCR ATMs. The wide range of advanced technology available from IBM/Diebold and NCR provides Euronet customers with state-of-the-art-electronics features and reliability through sophisticated diagnostics and self-testing routines. The different machine types can perform basic functions, such as dispensing cash and displaying account information, as well as provide revenue opportunities for advertising and selling products through use of color monitor graphics, receipt message printing, and coupon dispensing. The Company's ATMs are modular and upgradeable so that they can be adapted to provide additional services in response to changing technology and consumer demand. In many respects, Euronet's ATMs are more technologically advanced and more adaptable than many older ATMs in use in more developed ATM markets. This allows the Company to modify its ATMs to provide new services without replacing its existing network infrastructure. Strong back office central processing support is a critical factor in the successful operation of an ATM network. Each of Euronet's ATMs is connected to Euronet's Processing Center through land-based and satellite telecommunications. Because the Company strives to ensure western levels of reliability for its network, it currently relies primarily on satellite telecommunications for ATM connections to its Processing Center. As the reliability of land based telecommunications improves, the Company may rely more heavily on them because they are generally less expensive than satellite telecommunications. The Processing Center, which is located in Euronet's Budapest office, is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week and consists of two IBM AS400 computers which run the Arksys Gold Net ATM Software package. This software is a state-of-the-art software package that conforms to all relevant industry standards and has been installed in 64 countries worldwide. The Processing Center's computers operate Euronet's ATMs and interface with the local bank and international transaction authorization centers. The Processing Center has full uninterruptable power supply systems with battery and diesel power back-up to service the network in case of a power failure. The Processing Center's data back-up systems would prevent the loss of transaction records due to power failure. The Company's agreements with its satellite providers provide for certain assurances with respect to the repair of satellite malfunction to ensure continuous reliable communications for the network. The satellite provider for the Processing Center guarantees uninterrupted service for 99% of the time. Before the end of the first quarter of 1997, the Company plans to establish an off-site disaster recovery back up system in Budapest to provide protection against both natural and man-made disasters. In 1996, Euronet's network operated uninterrupted for 99% of the time excluding scheduled system back-up and maintenance periods. Euronet has entered into multi-country purchasing agreements with IBM and NCR providing for the supply of up to 800 ATMs to Euronet over the next two years. The Company generally finances the acquisition of ATM machines through capital leases. 28 30 ATM NETWORK MANAGEMENT SERVICES The Company recently began offering complete ATM network management services to banks that own proprietary ATM networks. These services include: ATM terminal driving, real-time transaction authorization, advanced monitoring, network gateway access, network switching, 24 hour customer services, maintenance services and settlement and reporting. These services can be offered by Euronet to banks at a savings over managing their own network due to the Company's economies of scale. Since the Company has already contracted for many of these services and provides the services as part of its own operation, this allows the potential for additional revenue with lower incremental cost since Euronet has already invested in the necessary infrastructure. The ATM network management services provided by the Company will include management of an existing network of ATMs or a newly purchased ATM network. This includes 24 hour monitoring of those ATMs from its Processing Center of each individual ATM's status and cash condition, coordinating the cash delivery and management of cash levels in the ATM and automatic dispatch for necessary service calls. Euronet will also be able to provide these managed ATMs access to those international cards and networks that are connected to the Euronet network. In December 1996, the Company signed an agreement with Budapest Bank to manage its ATM network in Hungary. This contract is expected to be implemented by May of 1997. Further, the Company is currently negotiating with a bank in Germany to provide installation and management services to expand the bank's existing ATM network in Germany in non-bank branch locations. OTHER SERVICES Euronet is currently working toward offering on-line point of sale authorization for purchases made at retail outlets with credit and debit cards. Purchases made with cards issued by banks that have executed Acceptance Agreements and cards connected to international ATM networks that are connected to the Euronet ATM network would be able to be authorized through Euronet's Processing Center, generating additional transaction fees. Euronet also plans to introduce payment processing capabilities on its ATMs which would allow ATM card holders to pay utility bills, check stock and mutual fund account balances and purchase stamps, theatre tickets, travellers checks and other items at its ATM machines. The Company is currently working to develop an ATM bill paying system that would be made available to utilities and other service providers for bills that have traditionally required payment in person at a post office or other central locations. In addition, the Company's ATMs are upgradeable so that they can be updated to be used with new technologies including computer chip "smart cards" which are electronic debit cards which can be used to withdraw cash from ATMs as well as being "charged up" with electronic funds at an ATM through a connection with the cardholder's bank and used to purchase goods from retail locations. In May 1996, the Company began to sell advertising on its network. Advertising clients can put their advertisements on the video screens of Euronet's ATMs, on the receipts issued by the ATMs and on coupons dispensed with cash from the ATMs. Advertising revenues currently average approximately $200 to $250 per month for ATM carrying advertising. COMPETITION Competitive factors in the Company's business are network availability and response time, price, ATM location and access to other networks. Principal competitors of the Company include ATM networks owned by banks and regional networks consisting of consortiums of banks. EMPLOYEES The Company's business is highly automated and it out-sources many of its internal functions such as ATM maintenance and repair and security. As a result, the Company's labor requirements are relatively low. As of December 31, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately 60 full-time employees, 37 of which 29 31 were located in its Budapest office, 21 in its Warsaw office and 1 in its Frankfurt office. None of the Company's or its subsidiaries' employees are currently represented by a union. The Company has never experienced any work stoppages or strikes. GOVERNMENT REGULATION The Company has received interpretative letters from the Hungarian Bank Supervisory Board and the Polish National Bank to the effect that the business activities of the Company in those jurisdictions, as described in the Prospectus, do not constitute "financial activities" subject to licensing. Any expansion of the activity of the Company into areas which are qualified as "financial activity" under local legislation may subject the Company to licensing, and the Company may be required to comply with various conditions in order to obtain such licenses. Moreover, the interpretations of bank regulatory authorities as to the activity of the Company as currently conducted might change in the future. The Company monitors its business for compliance with applicable laws or regulations regarding financial activities. Under German law ATMs are subject to essentially the same licensing requirements as bank branches and may only be operated by licensed financial institutions. The Company intends to be a service provider to banks and it does not anticipate that it will be subject to German financial institution licensing requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will not become subject to additional regulation in Germany or other countries in which it conducts its business. PROPERTY The Company's executive offices and Processing Center are located in approximately 2,800 square feet of office space in Budapest. The Company also maintains a 2,760 square foot office in Warsaw. All of the Company's facilities are leased. The Company's office leases provide for initial terms of 24 to 60 months. TRADEMARKS The Company has filed applications for registration of certain of its trademarks including the names "Euronet" and "Bankomat" and the blue diamond logo in Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Sweden, France and the United Kingdom. Such applications have not yet been granted. LITIGATION The Company is not currently involved in any material legal proceedings and, to the Company's knowledge, no litigation is currently threatened against it. 30 32 MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES The table sets forth certain information concerning the directors, executive officers and other key employees of the Company:

In the event that an initial public offering of the Company's common stock does not occur on or before June 30, 1997, the Milestone Options allocated to management and key employees (other than Mr. Brown, Mr. Henry and Mr. Depenbusch) will expire and again be available for reallocation at Mr. Brown's discretion. See "Certain Transactions." The Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Euronet Long-Term Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") was adopted by the Company on August 13, 1996. Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, employees and consultants of the Company may be offered the opportunity to acquire shares of Common Stock by the grant of non-qualified stock options ("Options"). A total of 1,299,550 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for Options under 36 38 the Plan. Options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company may be granted to eligible employees and consultants, as determined by the Board of Directors, in amounts reflecting the employee's or consultant's employment responsibilities and level of performance. The Options vest in five equal annual installments of 20% of the grant, and have a term of ten years. The exercise price per share of Common Stock purchased on exercise of Options is the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. Once vested, the Options may be exercised in whole or part. The Plan also incorporates various prior grants of Milestone Options under Shareholders' Agreement. In addition to Milestone Options, as of the date of this Prospectus, non-qualified stock options have been granted to certain employees of the Company, including Options to acquire 440,440 shares to Mr. Henry, Options to acquire 287,000 shares to Mr. Depenbusch as well as Options to acquire 335,510 shares to other key employees. Determination of Option Exercise Price. The Company has granted the options described above at an exercise price based on the fair market value of the underlying shares of Common Stock. Fair market value has been determined by reference to the per share price at which the most recent sale of Common Stock was made by the Company to investors. With respect to the Milestone Options, fair market value was determined to be $2.14 as of the time they were granted on October 14, 1996 based on the per share price at which certain shareholders of the Company concurrently committed to make the first $1 million tranche of a total $3 million investment in the Company.

These transactions are summarized below. For the convenience of the reader all amounts of capital contributions made in Hungarian forints have been translated into U.S. dollars at the official middle rate established by the National Bank of Hungary on the date such capital contributions were made and all amounts of capital contributions made in Polish zlotys have been translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate quoted by the National Bank of Poland at noon on the date such capital contributions were made. Formation of the Company. Bank Access 24 Kft. ("Bank 24"), the predecessor of the Hungarian operating subsidiary of the Company, was established on June 22, 1994 by Michael Brown and Daniel Henry, both of whom are Directors of the Company. Mr. Brown received a 90% equity interest in Bank 24 in consideration for a contribution of $9,000 and Mr. Henry received a 10% interest in consideration of a contribution of $1,000. Original Joint Venture Agreement. On July 19, 1994 a Joint Venture Agreement (the "Original JVA") was entered into by Mr. Brown and DST Systems, Inc., Euroventures (Hungary) B.V. ("Euroventures"), Mark Callegari, Larry Maddox and Lawrence Schwartz. The Original JVA provided that the parties to the Original JVA would contribute capital to Bank 24 in exchange for ownership interests in Bank 24 in the following amounts:
CAPITAL PERCENTAGE SHAREHOLDER CONTRIBUTION OWNERSHIP - --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- Michael Brown........................................................ $ 990,000 42.74%(1) DST Systems, Inc..................................................... $1,000,000 34.72% Euroventures......................................................... $ 300,000 10.42% Mark Callegari....................................................... $ 200,000 6.93% Lawrence Schwartz.................................................... $ 50,000 1.74% Larry Maddox......................................................... $ 100,000 3.74%
- --------------- (1) Includes his original $9,000 interest as well as the $1,000 interest transferred by Mr. Henry and the founders interest described below. Pursuant to the Original JVA, Mr. Henry transferred his 10% interest in Bank 24 to Mr. Brown for a purchase price equal to $1,000. At the time of the Original JVA Mr. Brown was granted an additional 8% equity interest in Bank 24 free of charge. 38 40 Capital Increase and Amendment of Original JVA. On February 20, 1995, the Original JVA was amended by an Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement (the "Amended JVA") under which a new shareholder, the Hungarian-American Enterprise Fund ("HAEF"), and Euroventures agreed to purchase from a third party 100% of the equity interests in SatComNet Kft., which is now a subsidiary of the Company ("SatComNet"). HAEF acquired an 89% interest in SatComNet for a purchase price of $439,000 and Euroventures purchased an 11% interest in SatComNet for $52,000. Under the Amended JVA, HAEF also agreed to contribute $611,000 to Bank 24, Euroventures agreed to contribute $148,000 and a new shareholder, Hi-Care Trade and Development Company ("Hi-Care") agreed to contribute $197,000. The shareholders of SatComNet and Bank 24 exchanged their interests held in such companies to create identical ownership of the two companies, as follows:
PERCENTAGE SHAREHOLDER OWNERSHIP - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Michael Brown................................................................... 30.29% DST Systems, Inc................................................................ 22.49% HAEF............................................................................ 23.61% Euroventures.................................................................... 11.24% Hi-Care......................................................................... 4.50% Mark Callegari.................................................................. 4.50% Larry Maddox.................................................................... 2.25% Lawrence Schwartz............................................................... 1.12% ---------- TOTAL........................................................................... 100% ========
Bank 24 was then transformed into an "Rt.", a different form of Hungarian corporate entity. Under the Amended JVA, Mr. Henry was granted an option to purchase up to 6% of the shares of each of Bank 24 and SatComNet for a total purchase price of $246,000. Hi-Care entered into a lease with Bank 24 effective as of September 10, 1994 for the Company's current offices in Budapest. The entire amount contributed to the capital of Bank 24 by Hi-Care under the Amended JVA was immediately paid out to Hi-Care as a payment under such lease. Loans from Mr. Michael J. Brown. Mr. Brown established the Company's Polish operating subsidiary, Bankomat 24 Sp. z o.o. ("Bankomat"), on August 8, 1995. Upon its formation, Mr. Brown contributed $2,000 to Bankomat and was the sole interest holder of Bankomat. A capital increase in the amount of $61,000 was made on December 7, 1995. On August 31, 1995, Mr. Brown agreed to make revolving loans in the amount $125,000 to Bankomat at a rate of interest of 10% per year. The amount of such loans was increased to $195,000 as of May 21, 1996. As of September 30, 1996 $262,000 was outstanding under such loans and other loans made by Mr. Brown to the Company consisting of $67,000 in loans at an interest rate of 10% relating to the establishment of Bankomat. A portion of the proceeds of the Offering will be used to repay these loans. Formation of Euronet Holding N.V. On February 15, 1996 the shareholders in Bank 24 and SatComNet and Hi-Care (the "Original Investors") terminated the Amended JVA and entered into the Shareholders' Agreement reorganizing the ownership of Bank 24, SatComNet and Bankomat. Under the Shareholders' Agreement, the Original Investors contributed all of their shares and interests in Bank 24, SatComNet and Bankomat to Euronet Holding N.V., which was established on March 27, 1996 as a holding company. In addition, four new shareholders made cash contributions to the capital of Euronet Holding N.V in exchange for Common Shares of Euronet Holding N.V., as follows:
NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES CONTRIBUTION OF EURONET NEW SHAREHOLDERS COMMITMENT HOLDING N.V. - ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------- Advent Private Equity Fund CELP.................................. $ 1,250,000 12,500 Hungarian Private Equity Fund.................................... $ 500,000 5,000 Poland Investment Fund........................................... $ 1,250,000 12,500 Poland Partners L.P.............................................. $ 3,000,000 30,000
39 41 Concurrently with these transactions, Euroventures purchased the shares and interests of Hi-Care in Bank 24 and SatComNet. The Shareholders' Agreement provided that the Original Investors and management of Euronet Holding N.V. would be granted certain awards of preferred shares, and in the case of Mr. Brown, Common Shares, of Euronet Holding N.V. in consideration of the payment of the par value ($0.01) of such shares if certain goals ("Milestones") were attained by the Company (the "Milestone Awards"). Specifically, the following Original Investors were to receive the following amounts of preferred shares or Common Shares of Euronet Holding N.V.:
NUMBER OF SHARES ORIGINAL INVESTOR OR MANAGEMENT MEMBER TO BE AWARDED ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- Michael Brown........................................................... up to 1,117,620 DST Systems, Inc. ...................................................... up to 258,300 HAEF.................................................................... up to 271,110 Euroventures............................................................ up to 180,810 Mark Callegari.......................................................... up to 51,597 Larry Maddox............................................................ up to 25,802 Lawrence Schwartz....................................................... up to 12,901 Daniel Henry............................................................ up to 593,670
Pursuant to the Shareholders' Agreement Euronet Holding N.V. was entitled to call a "standby round" of investment from DST Systems, Inc., Poland Partners L.P., Hungarian Private Equity Fund and the Advent Private Equity Fund CELP of up to $3,000,000 in the aggregate from such shareholders at a per share price of $2.14 for one tranche and $10.00 per share for a second tranche subject to certain conditions. The first tranche of this standby round was called on November 26, 1996 and 466,669 Series B convertible preferred shares of Euronet Holding N.V. were issued in exchange for $1 million. The Company's right to call the remainder of the standby round commitment will terminate on the termination of the Shareholders' Agreement which will occur on the execution of the underwriting agreement to be executed in connection with this Offering In addition, the Shareholders' Agreement provided that Mr. Brown would be reimbursed by the shareholders for up to $100,000 for expenses incurred from December 1994 to May 1995, and by the Company for expenses incurred from June 1, 1995 to March 27, 1996 relating to the establishment of Bankomat. On October 11, 1996, Euronet Holding N.V. adopted a revision to its Articles of Association effecting a ten for one stock split. On October 14, 1996, the Shareholders' Agreement was amended (the "First Amendment") and the Milestone Award arrangements were modified to provide for two different types of grants: (i) Milestone Awards of preferred shares of Euronet Holding N.V. in exchange for payment of par value ($0.01), to all Original Investors except Mr. Brown, (ii) Options to purchase Common Shares of Euronet Holding N.V. to Mr. Brown, and options to purchase preferred shares of Euronet Holding N.V. to Mr. Henry, Mr. Depenbusch and certain other employees of the group at a purchase price of $2.14 per share ("Milestone Options"). The number of shares of Euronet Holding N.V. subject to these option arrangements was increased as compared with the amounts that were to be awarded under the Shareholders Agreement to take into account the fact that consideration was now to be paid for such shares. The following numbers of Milestone Options were granted to directors and officers of the Company: Michael Brown (1,149,890 Common Shares of Euronet Holding N.V.); Daniel Henry (599,340 preferred shares of Euronet Holding N.V.); and Dennis Depenbusch (226,450 preferred shares of Euronet Holding N.V.). All Milestone Awards of Common Shares of Euronet Holding N.V. will be made effective as of the closing of the Offering and all Milestone Options will become vested upon the closing of the Offering, with the exception of 49,819 Options to certain key employees which will vest equally over two years following the Offering. See "Management -- Stock Option Plans." 40 42 The Reorganization. In December 1996, the Company, shareholders and optionholders of Euronet Holding N.V. entered into an Exchange Agreement pursuant to which (i) 9,585,569 shares of Common Stock will be issued to the shareholders of Euronet Holding N.V. in exchange for all of the Common Shares of Euronet Holding N.V., (ii) options to acquire 3,113,355 shares of Common Stock will be granted to the holders of options to acquire 3,113,355 Common Shares of Euronet Holding N.V. in exchange for all of such options and (iii) awards with respect to 800,520 shares of Common Stock will be issued to the holders of awards with respect to 800,520 preferred shares of Euronet Holding N.V. in exchange for all such awards. Such exchange is subject to and will be effective upon the execution of the underwriting agreement to be executed in connection with the Offering. Euronet Holding N.V. will be dissolved following the Reorganization. In connection with the Reorganization, the Shareholders' Agreement will be terminated. ATM PURCHASE OPTION On March 10, 1995 Bank 24 entered into a Master Rental Agreement with HFT Corporation ("HFT") pursuant to which HFT agreed to lease ATM machines to Bank 24 pursuant to operating leases which are treated, for U.S. GAAP purposes only, as capital leases. On the same date, HFT granted an option to purchase the ATM machines which were the subject of this Master Rental Agreement to Windham Technologies, a company controlled by Michael Brown and Mark Callegari. On March 25, 1995, Windham Technologies executed a unilateral undertaking (the "Undertaking") to sell such machines to Bank 24 for a purchase price which was equal to the price paid by Windham, plus an "indemnification amount", as defined in such undertaking. All ATMs operated by the Company are subject to this arrangement. As indicated in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", the Company intends to restructure these arrangements as capital leases under Hungarian law and has recorded an accrual in this respect. 41 43 PRINCIPAL AND SELLING SHAREHOLDERS The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company's Shares as of January 1, 1997, and after giving effect to the Offering by (i) each shareholder known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of the Shares, (ii) all Directors and Executive Officers of the Company as a group and (iii) each Selling Shareholder.

The following summary description of the capital stock of the Company does not purport to be complete and is subject to the detailed provisions of, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, and to the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"). COMMON STOCK The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Subject to the rights of any holders of Preferred Stock, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. See "Dividend Policy". In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of the Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the distribution of all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to the rights of any holders of Preferred Stock. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of the Company and no right to convert their Common Stock into any other securities. In addition, there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All the outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the Common Stock offered hereby will be, fully paid and nonassessable. PREFERRED STOCK The Board of Directors is authorized, without further action by the stockholders, to issue any or all shares of authorized Preferred Stock as a class without series or in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series. The issuance of Preferred Stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of Common Stock and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or impeding a change in control of the Company. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has not authorized the issuance of any Preferred Stock and there are no plans, agreements or understandings for the issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock. CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS Certain provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company summarized below may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or make more difficult a takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest. See "Risk Factors -- Anti-takeover Provisions." Set forth below is a description of certain provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board of Directors of the Company be divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms. The classes of directors will be as nearly equal in number as possible. Accordingly, approximately one-third of the company's Board of Directors will be elected each year. See "Management -- Directors, Executive Officers and Other Key Employees." The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the number of directors will be determined by the Board of Directors. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the Company shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of laws, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director (including 43 45 breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior), except in the situations described above. These provisions will not limit the liability of directors under federal securities laws. SECTION 203 OF DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits certain transactions between a Delaware corporation and an "interested stockholder," which is defined as a person who, together with any affiliates or associates of such person, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 15% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a Delaware corporation. This provision prohibits certain business combinations (defined broadly to include mergers, consolidations, sales or other dispositions of assets having an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the consolidated assets of the corporation, and certain transactions that would increase the interested stockholder's proportionate share ownership in the corporation) between an interested stockholder and a corporation for a period of three years after the date the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless (i) the business combination is approved by the corporation's board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, (ii) the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation (other than stock held by directors who are also officers or by certain employee stock plans) in the transaction in which it becomes an interested stockholder or (iii) the business combination is approved by a majority of the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. REGISTRATION RIGHTS Pursuant to an agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") dated March 13, 1996, among Euronet Holding N.V. (the predecessor to the Company) and the following shareholders: Advent Private Equity Fund CELP, Poland Investment Fund, the Hungarian Private Equity Fund L.P., Poland Partners L.P., Michael J. Brown, Larry Maddox, Mark Callegari, Lawrence Schwartz, DST Systems, Inc., Euroventures and HAEF (each a "Holder" and collectively the "Holders"), the Holders and all other shareholders were granted certain rights with respect to the registration of their shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act. Under the terms of such agreement, which apply by succession to the Company, Holders of no less than 12% of the shares of Common Stock of the Company can demand that the Company effect up to four registrations of the Common Stock under the Securities Act with respect to all or any portion of their shares provided that each demand relates to a registration of at least $4 million worth of Common Stock. The Company can delay such a demand for a period not in excess of 120 days, and not more than once in any 12 month period, if at the time of such demand the Company is in the process of preparing a registration statement for a public offering (other than a registration statement solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Securities Act is applicable) which is filed and becomes effective within 90 days after such demand. In addition, if the Company at any time initiates a registration under the Securities Act (other than a registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Securities Act is applicable), all shareholders are entitled to notice of such registrations and to include their shares of Common Stock in such registration subject to certain limitations. After the Company has qualified for use of Form S-3, all shareholders will have the right to request an unlimited number of registrations on Form S-3 (but the Holders as a group may not make more than two such requests in any given 12 month period and not more than four in the aggregate), provided that the aggregate offering price of such shareholder's shares of Common Stock exceeds $500,000 and the Company has initiated a proposed registration. The Company can delay such a request for a period not in excess of 120 days if at the time of such request the Company is in the process of preparing a registration statement for a public offering (other than a registration statement solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Securities Act is applicable) which is filed and becomes effective within 90 days after such request. In all cases the registration rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shareholders shares to be included in such registration. The Company is required to bear the expenses of all such registrations, except for underwriters' fees, discounts and 44 46 commissions. Registration rights are assignable to any assignee of at least 50% of shares conveyed who agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement within ten days of such assignment. TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is -- . 45 47 CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF SHARES The following is a general discussion of certain United States federal tax considerations applicable to the ownership and disposition of Shares by "Non-U.S. Holders." In general, a "Non-U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of Shares other than: (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or partnership created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or of any state or (iii) an estate or trust, the income of which is includable in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source. The term "Non-U.S. Holder" does not include individuals who were United States citizens within the ten-year period immediately preceding the date of this Prospectus and whose loss of United States citizenship had as one of its principal purposes the avoidance of United States taxes. This discussion is based on current law, which is subject to change and is for general information only. This discussion does not address aspects of United States federal taxation other than income and estate taxation and does not address all aspects of income and estate taxation, nor does it consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to a particular Non-U.S. Holder. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS REGARDING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-UNITED STATES INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF SHARES. DIVIDENDS The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Shares in the foreseeable future. The Company may in the future consider paying cash dividends on the Shares. However, the Board of Directors of the Company has made no decision with respect to the payment of any such dividends, including the timing and amount of any such dividend. See "Dividend Policy." If dividends are paid on the Shares, these payments will be treated as a dividend for United States federal income tax purposes to the extent of the Company's current or accumulated earnings and profits for such tax purposes. The portion of a payment that exceeds such earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of each Non-U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Shares. The portion of a payment that exceeds such earnings and profits and tax basis will be treated as a gain from the sale or other disposition of the Shares to the extent of such excess, with the tax consequences described below under "-- Sale of Common Stock." In general, any dividends (i.e., distributions to the extent of current or accumulated earnings and profits for United States federal income tax purposes) paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of Shares will be subject to United States withholding tax at a 30% rate (or a lower rate prescribed by an applicable tax treaty) unless the dividends are either (i) effectively connected with a trade or business carried on by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States or (ii) if certain income tax treaties apply, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder. For purposes of determining whether tax is to be withheld at a 30% rate or at a lower rate as prescribed by an applicable tax treaty, the Company ordinarily will presume that dividends paid to an address in a foreign country are paid to a resident of such country absent knowledge that such presumption is not warranted. However, under United States Treasury regulations proposed in 1984 that have not been finally adopted, to claim the benefits of an applicable tax treaty, a Non-U.S. Holder of Shares would be required to file certain information forms with the payor of the dividends. Dividends effectively connected with such a United States trade or business or attributable to such a United States permanent establishment generally will not be subject to withholding tax (if the Non-U.S. Holder files certain forms, including IRS Form 4224, with the payor of the dividend) and generally will be subject to United States federal tax on a net income basis, in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were resident of the United States. In the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation, dividend income so connected or attributable may also be subject to the branch profits tax (which is generally imposed on a foreign corporation on the repatriation from the United States of its effectively connected earnings and profits subject to certain adjustments) at a 30% rate (or lower rate prescribed by an applicable income tax treaty). A Non-U.S. Holder that is eligible for a reduced rate of United States withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts currently withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. 46 48 SALE OF COMMON STOCK In general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to United States federal income tax on any gain recognized upon the disposition of Shares unless: (i) the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business carried on by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States or, alternatively, if certain tax treaties apply, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder (and in either such case, the branch profits tax may also apply if the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation), (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder who is a nonresident alien individual and holds Shares as a capital asset, such individual is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition, and either (a) such individual has a "tax home" (as defined for United States federal income tax purposes) in the United States or (b) the gain is attributable to an office or other fixed place of business maintained by such individual in the United States, (iii) the Non-U.S. Holder is subject to tax pursuant to the provisions of the United States tax law applicable to certain United States expatriates or (iv) the Company is or has been a United States real property holding corporation (a "USRPHC") for United States federal income tax purposes (which the Company does not believe that it is or is likely to become) at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition or such Non-U.S. Holder's holding period. If the Company were or were to become a USRPHC, gains realized upon a disposition of Shares by a Non-U.S. Holder that did not directly or indirectly own more than 5% of the Shares during the shorter of the periods described above generally would not be subject to United States federal income tax so long as the Shares were "regularly traded" on an established securities market. ESTATE TAX Shares owned or treated as owned by an individual who is not a citizen or resident (as defined for United States federal estate tax purposes) of the United States at the time of death will be includable in the individual's gross estate for United States federal estate tax purposes unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise, and therefore may be subject to United States federal estate tax. BACKUP WITHHOLDING, INFORMATION REPORTING AND OTHER REPORTING REQUIREMENTS The Company must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to, and the tax withheld with respect to, each Non-U.S. Holder. These reporting requirements apply regardless of whether withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable tax treaty. Copies of this information also may be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement with the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established. United States backup withholding (which generally is imposed at the rate of 31% on certain payments to persons that fail to furnish the information required under the United States information reporting requirements) and information reporting generally will not apply to dividends paid on Shares to a Non-U.S. Holder at an address outside the United States. The payment of proceeds from the disposition of Shares to or through a United States office of a broker will be subject to information reporting and United States backup withholding unless the owner, under penalties of perjury, certifies among other things, its status as a Non-U.S. Holder, or otherwise establishes an exemption. The payment of proceeds from the disposition of Shares or through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to backup withholding and information reporting, except as noted below. In the case of proceeds from the disposition of Shares paid to or through a non-United States office of a broker that is: (i) a United States person, (ii) a "controlled foreign corporation" for United States federal income tax purposes or (iii) a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income for a specified three-year period is effectively connected with a United States trade or business, (a) backup withholding will not apply unless such broker has actual knowledge that the owner is not a Non-U.S. Holder and (b) information reporting will apply unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the owner is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the broker has no actual knowledge to the contrary). Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be refunded or credited against the Non-U.S. Holder's United States federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS. 47 49 SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Upon completion of the Offering, assuming an offering price of $13 per Share (the midpoint of the range on the cover page of this Prospectus) 13,729,560 Shares will be in issue (assuming no exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option). The Shares offered hereby will be freely tradeable (other than by an "affiliate" of the Company as defined under the Securities Act) in the public market without restriction under the Securities Act. The remaining 8,429,560 outstanding Shares were issued by the Company in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Of such Shares, after giving effect to the Offering (assuming the Underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised), 434,217 Shares will be eligible for resale under Rule 144 immediately following the expiration of the 180-day lock-up period described under "Underwriting", 6,863,709 Shares, 466,669 Shares and 664,965 Shares will not be eligible for resale under Rule 144 until March 27, 1998 and October 14, 1998 and February [20], 1999, respectively. Such Shares may be resold only in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. In addition, Michael Brown and the other existing shareholders of the Company were granted rights entitling them, under specified circumstances, to cause the Company to register for sale all or part of their shares of Common Stock and to include such shares in any registered public offerings of shares of Common Stock by the Company. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Registration Rights" and "Underwriting". In addition, of the 2,857,911 options to purchase Shares outstanding, 2,018,494 are currently exercisable. Any Shares issued on the exercise of these options would be available for sale subject to Rule 701 or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (including Regulation S under the Securities Act) following the expiration of the 180-day lock-up period described above. Furthermore, the Company intends to register under the Securities Act, as soon as practicable following the Offering, approximately 3,094,511 Shares reserved for issuance to its employees and directors under its employee benefits plans. See "Management." In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, if a minimum of two years has elapsed since the later of the date of acquisition of the securities from the issuer or from an affiliate of the issuer, a person (or persons whose Shares are aggregated), including persons who may be deemed "affiliates" of the Company, as that term is defined in the Securities Act ("Affiliates"), would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of Shares that does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding Shares (137,296 Shares immediately after consummation of the Offering, or 145,246 Shares if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) and (ii) the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain provisions as to the manner of sale, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about the Company. In addition, under Rule 144(k), if a period of at least three years has elapsed since the later of (i) the date restricted securities were acquired from the Company and (ii) the date they were acquired from an Affiliate of the Company, a shareholder who is not an Affiliate of the Company at the time of sale and has not been an Affiliate for at least three months prior to the sale would be entitled to sell Shares in the public market immediately without compliance with the foregoing requirements under Rule 144. Rule 144 does not require the same person to have held the securities for the applicable periods. The Company and its Directors, Officers and certain other shareholders have agreed not to offer for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person of), directly or indirectly, any Shares, with certain limited exceptions, for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of ING Barings on behalf of the Underwriters. Prior to the Offering, there has been no market for the Shares and no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of the Shares or the availability of such Shares for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of the Shares in the public market or the perception that such sales may occur may have an adverse impact on such market prices. 48 50 UNDERWRITING Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") between the Company and the Underwriters named below (the "Underwriters") the Company has agreed to sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters, for whom ING Barings is acting as representative (the "Representative"), has severally agreed to purchase from the Company, the number of Shares (collectively, the "Shares") set forth opposite its name below:
NUMBER UNDERWRITER OF SHARES - ----------- ---------- ING Barings..................................................................... ---------- Total...................................................................... =========
In the Underwriting Agreement, the several Underwriters have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase all of the Shares if any such Shares are purchased. In the event of a default by any Underwriter, the Underwriting Agreement provides that in certain circumstances, purchase commitments of the nondefaulting Underwriters may be increased or the Underwriting Agreement may be terminated. The Company has been advised by the Representative that the several Underwriters propose initially to offer the Shares to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page hereof, and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of $ per Share. The Underwriters may allow and such dealers may reallow a concession not in excess of $ per Share to other dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering price and such concessions may be changed. A portion of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby are being offered outside the United States. Offers and sales of shares of Common Stock outside the United States are being made pursuant to Regulation S and such shares are not being registered under the Securities Act for the purpose of sales outside the United States. A registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect for offers and sales in the United States of shares of Common Stock that were initially offered or sold outside the United States. All sales of Shares on behalf of ING Barings in the United States will be conducted by its affiliate ING Baring (U.S.), Inc. The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option to purchase collectively up to 795,000 additional Shares exercisable for 30 days after the date hereof, solely to cover over-allotments, if any, at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus less the underwriting commissions. To the extent that the Underwriters exercise such option, each such Underwriter will be obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of such Shares that the number of Shares set forth next to such Underwriter's name in the preceding table in the Prospectus relating to the Offering bears to the total number of all such Shares to be purchased and offered by the Underwriters. Prior to the Offering, there has been no established market in the United States or elsewhere for the Shares. The public offering price will be determined by the Company in consultation with the Underwriters. It is expected that the price determination will take several factors into account, including an assessment of the Company's results of operations, the future prospects of the Company and the prevailing market and economic conditions at the time of the Offering. 49 51 Subject to certain exceptions, the Company and shareholders of the Company holding in the aggregate 8,159,206 Shares and holders of options to purchase 2,041,830 Shares have agreed that they will not directly or indirectly offer or sell any Shares (or securities convertible into any Shares), other than in the Offering, for a period of 180 days after the commencement of the Offering without the prior written consent of the Representative. Application will be made to have the Common Stock approved for listing on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "EEFT". The Underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company and the Selling Shareholders will indemnify the Underwriters against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. 50 52 VALIDITY OF SECURITIES The validity of the Shares offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Arent Fox Kintner Plotkin & Kahn and for the Underwriters by Shearman & Sterling.

The information included in this section does not purport to cover all aspects of the issues and matters discussed herein and should not be construed as doing so. THE REPUBLIC OF HUNGARY The following economic and exchange control information regarding the Republic of Hungary has been extracted from official publications of the National Bank of Hungary (the "NBH"), the Hungarian Ministry of Industry and the Hungarian Central Statistical Office. GENERAL The Republic of Hungary, which lies in Central Europe, covers an area of approximately 93,000 square kilometers. The population of Hungary, as estimated by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, was 10.2 million as of January 1, 1996, compared with 10.7 million in 1980. Approximately 62% of the total population lives in urban areas, and approximately 2.0 million people live in the capital, Budapest, which is Hungary's political, administrative, cultural and commercial center. In April 1996, Hungary joined the OECD. It has been an associate member of the European Union since December 1991. It is a member, together with Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, of the Central European Free Trade Association. GOVERNMENT During the late 1980s, the political system in Hungary underwent dramatic changes. In 1989 non-communist political parties were established and initial steps were taken toward the first free elections in the country since 1947. On October 23, 1989, the country's name was changed from "The Hungarian People's Republic" to the "Republic of Hungary" and the constitution was substantially amended. Under its new constitution, Hungary instituted a multiparty democratic government. In March and April 1990, the 386 members of Hungary's unicameral parliament were elected by popular vote for a term of four years. In 1994 the Hungarian Socialist Party joined with the Free Democrats to defeat the centre-right coalition government that had initiated reforms in 1989 and to form a coalition government with a 72% majority in parliament. Gyula Horn was elected Prime Minister. The next scheduled general election is in 1998. Parliament is the supreme legislative body of the Hungarian government (the "Government"). The President of Hungary, the Prime Minister, the members of the Constitutional Court, the president and vice-presidents of the State Audit Office, the president of the Supreme Court and the Attorney General are elected by a vote of Parliament. ECONOMY Since 1989, steps have been taken to accelerate the development of a market economy in Hungary. However, Hungary was not able to insulate itself from the downturn in economic activity that affected all of Central and Eastern Europe after the dissolution of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance ("COMECON"), an economic and trade organization sponsored by the former Soviet Union that included many formerly communist countries. GDP declined between 1990 and 1993. The fall in GDP during this period was mainly attributable to structural reform, the collapse in trade with the former COMECON countries and their lack of convertible currencies to pay for Hungarian exports, the embargo on trade with Yugoslavia and Bosnia and the recession in Eastern Europe. In 1994, however, GDP increased by 2.9%. In 1995, key economic indicators reflected mixed economic performance. The central budget deficit (excluding social security funds) stood at Hungarian forints ("HUF") 160.6 billion for 1995 and the current account deficit for 1995 was $2.48 billion. The rate of inflation (as measured by increases in consumer prices) A-1 54 increased to 28.2% in 1995 although unemployment fell during that period. Exports in 1995 were valued at HUF 1,622.0 billion. The trade deficit in 1995 was HUF 314.4 (US$ 2.56) billion and GDP increased by 1.5%. On March 12, 1995, the Hungarian government announced important economic and monetary policy reforms. These measures were intended to reduce government expenditures, narrow the foreign trade deficit, stabilize inflation, lower the rate of domestic consumption, stimulate domestic savings and promote corporate business activity. The measures included a 9% devaluation of the forint and the introduction of a "crawling peg" devaluation scheme, leading to an aggregate devaluation of approximately 29% in 1995. A temporary 8% supplementary duty was imposed on imports, excluding primary energy imports, investment goods and components for export products. The mandatory conversion of export revenues of businesses into forints was abolished. The measures also included reductions in certain social welfare benefits and salary ceilings in public sector jobs. The transition to a market-oriented economy in Hungary has had a significant impact on prices, wages and employment. By the end of 1990, the prices of over 90% of goods and services were free from regulation. Prices rose rapidly during late 1990 and early 1991 and consumer prices increased by 35% in 1991. The rate of inflation began to moderate during the latter half of 1991 and continued to subside in 1992 with the increase in consumer prices averaging 23% for the year. The rate of inflation, as measured by increases in consumer prices, remained fairly constant in 1993 at 22.5% and then declined to 18.8% in 1994. During 1995, the annual rate of inflation increased with consumer prices increasing by 28.2%. In 1995, price increases included a 50% rise in energy prices and a 31.1% rise in food prices. From 1990 to 1993, nominal wages increased, although at a slower rate than the increase in consumer prices over the same period. As a result, real wages in each year declined. In 1994, however, the increase in nominal wages exceeded the increase in consumer prices, causing real wages to grow. The monthly average nominal wage (before taxes) in Hungary in 1995 was HUF 38,900, 16.9% higher than in 1994. The unemployment rate in Hungary at December 31, 1992, was 13.2% with over 663,000 registered as unemployed. The number of registered unemployed at December 31, 1993 was 632,000, which represented an unemployment rate of 12.6%. Since 1993, unemployment has continued to decline. At December 31, 1994 the number of registered unemployed was 520,000, which represented an unemployment rate of 10.9%. At the end of 1995, the number of registered unemployed was 496,000 which represented an unemployment rate of 10.4%. EXCHANGE CONTROL Legislation was enacted in late 1995 by the Hungarian parliament to further liberalize foreign exchange for commercial transactions (Foreign Exchange Act, Law XCV 1995). This came into effect on January 1, 1996 and meets the requirements of both the International Monetary Fund (Section VIII) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on convertibility of current items. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Act, the forint is freely convertible except for capital movements and related transactions, which are controlled by the Hungarian Government through the NBH. Certain currency-related bank activities, other than those which involve foreign trade transactions, require the permission of the NBH. These include, without limitation: - transfer of credit abroad; - monetary exchange, whether into convertible currency or into HUF where payment is by convertible currency, or any other possession of convertible currency; - purchase, gift or other contracts related to domestic properties between Hungarian and foreign parties or by Hungarian parties for the benefit of foreign parties; and - the write-off of debt in convertible-currency. However, an important area exempt by statute from the general requirement of exchange control licensing is investment, including investment by an investment company in shares in Hungary by foreign parties. A-2 55 Currently, companies not established in duty-free zones may only maintain local currency books. However, a Hungarian company, which is either partly or wholly foreign-owned, may keep the cash portion of the foreign partners' capital contribution in a separate convertible-currency bank account. The convertible-currency account may also be used pay expenses abroad. Pursuant to this legislation, a Hungarian business may purchase convertible foreign currency to effect payments in connection with its business activities. Prior consent need not be obtained and there is no limit to the amount of foreign currency which may be purchased or received by that business in connection with those business activities. Any convertible foreign currency must either be remitted to a beneficiary abroad or back to Hungary to be deposited in a convertible foreign currency account with an authorized Hungarian financial institution. This account may be used both for payments out in the relevant foreign currency or for conversion into forints. Since April 1995, Hungarian companies have been able to deposit income from foreign trace contracts and foreign exchange loans in their hard currency account and to make payments from these accounts (similarly in hard currency) in respect of foreign trade contracts, interest or principal on foreign exchange loans or, with permission from the NBH, for other purposes. Hungarian companies may not conduct trade amongst themselves in a foreign currency. Money in a convertible currency may be converted into forints or other convertible currencies. POLAND GENERAL Poland is the largest economy in Central Europe. The country has a population of 38.5 million people. Poland occupies 313,000 square kilometers and is strategically located just south of the Baltic Sea with Germany to the West, the Czech and Slovak Republics to the South and Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and Lithuania to the East. The country is divided into 99 counties and Warsaw, the capital, is the country's commercial and political center. In November 1996, Poland joined the OECD. It is an associate member of the European Union and hopes to be a full member by the year 2000. It is a member, together with Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, of the Central European Free Trade Area. GOVERNMENT In 1952 Poland adopted a constitution that institutionalized a system of de facto one-party rule by the Polish United Workers' Party (the "Polish Communist Party"). Government policy during this period was guided by a program of nationalization of industry, expropriation of large land holdings, central planning of the economy and the suppression of political dissent. Frequent political and economic crises occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. Solidarity, the first independent trade union in the Soviet bloc, was formed in 1980 and soon consolidated a growing popular discontent with the communist government. In April 1989, the communist government and the democratic opposition led by Solidarity agreed to a power-sharing arrangement and in June 1989 competitive elections to a bicameral Parliament were held. The overwhelming victory of Solidarity candidates in these elections for available seats in the Parliament signaled the end of the political monopoly of the Polish Communist Party. In May 1990, local elections were held in which Solidarity achieved a similar victory. In November 1990, Lech Walesa, who had played an historic role in the information and leadership of Solidarity, was elected President. In the first completely free parliamentary elections in 1991, 23 parties were elected to parliament with the largest party not having more than 14% of the seats. There were five governments between 1989 and 1993 and, following a change in the electoral procedure prior to the second general election in 1993, the national reform parties centered around the Union Democrats, a Solidarity-splinter group, were defeated. The three governments since then, including the current one under Prime Minister Cimoszewicz, have been based on the ex-communist Social Democrats (SLD) and the Polish Peasant Party (PSL). After Walesa's defeat in the presidential elections in November 1995, Aleksander Kwasniewski from the SLD became the new President. The next parliamentary election is scheduled to be held late in 1997. A-3 56 The present constitutional framework (the "Constitution") establishes Poland as a democratic republic with a bicameral Parliament, a President as head-of-state, a Council of Ministers and an independent judicial system. Under the Constitution, a bicameral Parliament comprised of upper chamber (the "Senate") and a lower chamber (the "Sejm") is elected by general election for a four-year term. All legislation must be approved by the Sejm and the Senate and signed by the President. Rejection of a bill by the Senate or by the President, however, can be overruled by a two-thirds majority in the Sejm. The President (with the approval of the Senate) or the Sejm may call a referendum on matters of extreme importance to the country. Judicial authority is vested in the Supreme Court, appellate, regional and lower courts. A separate Constitutional Tribunal has jurisdiction over all matters relating to the interpretation of the provisions of the Constitution. Since 1992, a special commission of the Parliament has been empowered by law to draft a new constitution. This commission is currently considering a number of proposals that vary widely in their approach to the separation of governmental powers and social and economic rights. No date has been set for adoption of a new constitution. ECONOMY Since the fall of the Communist government in 1989, Poland has embarked on a program of economic reform based on the transition to a market economy and private ownership. Existing privileges and subsidies were taken away from state owned enterprises, creating competitive opportunities for other economic entities. The tax system was reformed to provide equal tax treatment of all economic entities. Poland's transition to an open market, with reduced subsidies, devaluation of the Polish zloty ("PLN") to encourage exports and moderation of trade barriers, initially resulted in very high rates of inflation, which have since moderated somewhat. In a period of just over two years, the annual inflation rate, which exceeded 300% in 1989 and approached 600% in 1990, was reduced to approximately 70% in 1991, primarily through the introduction of a tight monetary policy with the cooperation of the International Monetary Fund. According to the Polish Central Office for Statistics, the rate of annual inflation as at March 1996, was 20.4%. In addition, Poland continues to have significant foreign debt. Efforts to curb inflation have had a recessionary effect during the early 1990s, which was compounded by the introduction of a large quantity of imported products with which domestic industry had difficulty competing. However, GDP growth for 1994 was 5.2% and was 7% for 1995. Unemployment stood at 14.3% in June 1996. FOREIGN EXCHANGE Poland was the first country in Central Europe to introduce the internal convertibility of its currency. Under an amendment to the Foreign Exchange Law introduced in December 1995, businesses are entitled to hold cash in both a PLN account and a foreign currency in a Polish bank. Transactions with foreign entities must be made in a foreign convertible currency. The average rate of exchange is set by the National Bank of Poland ("NBP") on the basis of a basket of hard currencies. Commercial banks set their own rates of exchange. Residents of Poland are free to keep, buy and sell foreign currency. There are many private exchange counters all over the country. The rate of exchange offered by private exchange counters varies but remains close to the NBP rate. Businesses are obliged to obtain a foreign exchange permit from the NBP in order to open an account abroad unless amounts deposited in such accounts are to be used for the payment of services rendered pursuant to contracts concluded with foreign entities. Hard currency loans for the purchase of goods or services abroad from foreign banks do not require foreign exchange permits from the NBP any longer, unless the term of such loan is longer than one year or its conditions are less favorable than those commonly applied in international financial markets. Also, hard currency credits from the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the European Investment Bank secured by Polish government guarantees and destined for financial or domestic investments are permitted. From February 1, 1996 companies with foreign participation are free to contract hard currency loans from their shareholders. The above activities, however, should be reported to the NBP.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. F-6 63 EURONET HOLDING N.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF HOLDING COMPANY Euronet Holding N.V. and Subsidiaries (Euronet N.V.) is an independent shared automatic teller machine (ATM) network and service provider to banks and financial institutions. Euronet N.V. serves a number of banks in Poland and Hungary by providing ATMs that accept cards with international logos such as VISA, American Express and Mastercard and proprietary bank cards issued by member banks. Euronet Holding N.V. is a limited liability company registered in the Netherlands Antilles, incorporated on March 11, 1996. It was formed as a holding company for the purpose of acquiring 100% ownership interest in the following three operating entities: Euronet-Bank 24 Rt, (Bank24), SatComNet Kft, (SatComNet), both incorporated in Hungary and Bankomat 24/Euronet Sp. z o.o. (Bankomat), incorporated in Poland. The acquisition of these shares by the Euronet N.V. took place on March 27, 1996. Bank 24 and Bankomat were legally established on June 22, 1994 and August 8, 1995 respectively; SatComNet was acquired by an investor group on February 20, 1995. Bank 24 and SatComNet were, before the formation of Euronet N.V., owned by the same shareholder group. Bankomat was, before the formation of Euronet N.V., owned by Michael Brown, Chairman of Euronet N.V. and a major shareholder of Bank24 and SatComNet. The acquisition of the three operating entities has been accounted for as a combination of entities under common control using an accounting method similar to the pooling of interests method for the following periods: June 22, 1994 through December 31, 1994; the year ended December 31, 1995 and the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. Euronet Services Inc. was established as a Delaware corporation on December 13, 1996 which will succeed Euronet N.V. as the holding company. It is intended that (i) the holders of all of the preferred shares of Euronet N.V. will convert all of such preferred shares into Common Shares of Euronet N.V. and (ii) Euronet N.V. will effect a seven-for-one stock split of all outstanding common shares of Euronet N.V. On December 17, 1996, Euronet Services Inc. and the shareholders and optionholders of Euronet N.V. entered into an Exchange Agreement pursuant to which (i) 9,585,569 shares of Common Stock will be issued to the shareholders of Euronet N.V. in exchange for all the common shares of Euronet N.V. (ii) options to acquire 3,113,355 shares of Common Stock will be granted to the holders of options to acquire 3,113,355 Common Shares of Euronet N.V. in exchange for all of such options and (iii) awards with respect to 800,520 shares of Common Stock of Euronet Services Inc. will be issued to the holders of awards with respect to 800,520 preferred shares of Euronet N.V. in exchange for all such awards (the "Reorganization"). Euronet N.V. will be dissolved following the Reorganization. The Reorganization is subject to and will be effective upon the execution of an underwriting agreement in connection with an initial public offering of the Common Stock of Euronet Services Inc. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES (a) Basis of presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The financial statements for 1994, 1995 and for the period from January 1, 1996 through March 27, 1996 have been presented as if the operating entities had been combined from their respective dates of incorporation/acquisition. Subsequent to March 27, 1996, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Euronet N.V. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. F-7 64 EURONET HOLDING N.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (b) Transfer of non monetary assets The transfer of the share holdings held by the shareholders in Bank 24, SatComNet and Bankomat in exchange for shares in Euronet Holding N.V. have been recorded at the underlying net equity of the operating entities. The transfer of assets by shareholders have been recorded at the transferors' historical cost basis. (c) Foreign currency translation The accounts of Euronet N.V. are recorded using U.S. dollars as the functional currency which represents the currency of the primary economic environments in which Euronet N.V. operates. Euronet N.V. applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52 relative to the translation of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars and accounting for foreign currency transactions. Under this statement, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates and non monetary assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity are recorded at historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses resulting from remeasurement of assets and liabilities are recognized in income when they occur. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency transactions are included in the income statement when they occur. (d) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment under capital leases are stated at the lesser of fair value of the leased equipment and the present value of future minimum lease payments. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Equipment held under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized straight line over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation rates are as follows: Automatic teller machines.................................. 7 years Computers.................................................. 3 years Software................................................... 3 years Vehicles & Equipment....................................... 5 years
(e) Impairment of long-lived assets Euronet N.V. assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets (mainly property, plant and equipment) by determining whether the carrying value of the fixed assets can be recovered over the remaining lives through projected undiscounted future operating cash flows. If an impairment in value is estimated to have occurred, the assets carrying value is reduced to its estimated fair value. The assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets will be impacted if estimated future operating cash flows are not achieved. (f) Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the income in the period that includes the enactment date. F-8 65 EURONET HOLDING N.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Valuation allowances for deferred tax assets have been established on the basis of Euronet N.V.'s estimate of taxable income for future periods. (g) Risks and uncertainties Euronet N.V. operates in one business segment through operations in Hungary and Poland. Euronet N.V., at this time, is dependent on a limited group of customers and network services are limited to those areas where ATMs have been installed. Management of Euronet N.V. has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (h) Revenue recognition Euronet N.V. recognizes revenue at the point at which the service is performed. (i) Cash equivalents For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, Euronet N.V. considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. (j) Investment securities Investment securities at September 30, 1996 consist of Hungarian government bonds which Euronet N.V. has classified as held-to-maturity (gross unrealised losses are approximately $31,000). Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which Euronet N.V. has the ability and intent to hold the security to maturity. The held-to-maturity investment securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premium and discounts. A decline in the market value of any held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. Premium and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of term of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. (k) Pro-forma loss per share As the historical capital structure of Euronet N.V. is not indicative of the continuing capital structure, the historical loss per share has been replaced by a pro-forma loss per share computation. The pro-forma loss per share has been calculated by dividing the net loss by the pro-forma number of shares amounting to 13,109,320. The pro-forma number of shares reflects the sum of (1) 10,641,532 common shares issued and outstanding of the new holding company, Euronet Services Inc., (2) 1,519,002 shares issuable (using the treasury stock method) under Euronet N.V.'s milestone stock option program, and (3) 948,786 shares issuable (using the treasury stock method) under Euronet N.V.'s stock compensation plan. (3) CAPITAL STOCK Euronet Holding N.V. was established on the basis of the Articles of Incorporation dated March 11, 1996. Euronet N.V. registered a ten for one stock split on October 11, 1996. The par value changed from $1.00 to $0.10 for all preferred and common shares authorized and issued as a result of the stock split. Upon formation of Euronet Inc., Euronet N.V.'s preferred and common shares authorized and issued will reflect a further stock split of seven for one and the par value will change from $0.10 to $0.01. All references in the financial statements to the number of shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the increased number of preferred and common shares outstanding. F-9 66 EURONET HOLDING N.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) On September 26, 1996, Euronet N.V. called $2 million of the subscription receivable which was received subsequent to September 30, 1996. On December 11, 1996, the remaining $1 million of subscription receivable was called. In accordance with the Articles of Association of Euronet Holding N.V., holders of series B convertible preferred shares are entitled to priority earnings' distribution, to the extent possible, as determined by a fixed formula. Profits available for distribution after this deduction are then allocated to both holders of series A and B convertible preferred shares, to the extent possible, as determined by a fixed formula. Common shareholders are entitled to a fixed dividend of $0.80 per common shares, to the extent possible, after the second priority earnings' distribution. The remaining profits available for distribution, to the extent possible, shall be allocated to all shareholders on a pro rata basis. In the event of liquidation of Euronet N.V., holders of series B convertible preferred shares shall be entitled to receive, to the extent possible, in priority to any distribution to the holders of series A and common shares, a distribution determined in accordance with a fixed formula. From the net assets that remain after this payment the holders of series A and B convertible preferred shares shall be entitled to receive, to the extent possible, in priority to any distribution to the holders of common shares, a distribution determined in accordance with a fixed formula. The balance that remains shall be distributed among the holders of common shares pro rata based on their respective ownership of common shares. Holders of convertible preferred shares may have their shares converted into common shares at the rate of one to one. Holders of series B convertible preferred shares may have their shares converted into series A convertible preferred shares at the rate of one to one. Euronet N.V. has the option to convert all preferred series A and B shares to common shares upon the undertaking of an initial public offering. Prior to Euronet N.V. being established on March 11, 1996, the common shares of the entities forming part of the combination were Bank 24, SatComNet and Bankomat. The share capital (and quota capital with respect to SatComNet) of the combined entities is composed fully of common shares. Details of shares authorized and issued are as follows:
QUOTA AUTHORIZED ISSUED TOTAL CAPITAL SHARES SHARES VALUE ------- ---------- ------- ------ Bank 24................................................ -- 330,000 330,000 $3,162 SatComNet.............................................. 1 -- -- $ 491 Bankomat............................................... -- 3,140 3,140 $ 63
During 1995, Bank 24 changed its legal structure from a company limited by quotas ("Kft") to a company limited by shares ("Rt"). (4) RESTRICTED RESERVE The restricted reserve arises from the provisions of Hungarian accounting law in relation to share capital contributed in foreign currency to Bank 24 and SatComNet. Under these rules, a foreign currency capital contribution is recorded in the local accounting records of the companies using the rate when the capital was contributed. The foreign currency gain (or loss) which arises upon usage of the foreign currency is booked directly to a separate non distributable reserve. For the purposes of these consolidated financial statements, the exchange gains and losses booked to this reserve under Hungarian accounting law, together with the gain on revaluing the remaining foreign currency received for capital at each period end in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been included in the income statement for the year with an equivalent transfer for the accumulated loss reserve to the restricted reserve. F-10 67 EURONET HOLDING N.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (5) RESTRICTED CASH Euronet N.V. has two primary types of restricted cash balances at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. Bankomat and Bank 24 have deposits with banks as security with respect to their supplying cash to the ATMs, equivalent to the amount of cash in machines at the balance sheet dates. These deposits have been classified as restricted cash. Bank 24 also has deposits with a commercial bank to cover guarantees, deposits with customs officials to cover potential charges, and with their leasing company as a minimum deposit related to the lease of ATMs (see note 8). Following is a detail of restricted cash balances at each balance sheet date:

This loan originated April 4, 1996 and is due on March 18, 1997 together with interest accrued at 27%. F-11 68 EURONET HOLDING N.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Euronet N.V. has collateralised this loan by the pledge of investment securities amounting to $206,000, bearing interest at 29% maturing on March 18, 1997.

The difference between the actual income tax benefit and the tax benefit computed by applying the statutory income tax rate to losses before taxes is attributable to the following:
SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, 1996 1995 1994 ------------- ------------ ------------ (IN THOUSANDS) Income tax benefit at statutory rates............. 156 427 82 Non-deductible expenses........................... (18) (153) (23) Tax holiday....................................... (6) (8) -- Foreign tax benefit............................... 497 -- -- Valuation allowance............................... (410) (118) (59) ----- ----- ----- Actual income tax benefit......................... 219 148 -- ===== ===== =====
The income tax benefit has been calculated on the basis of the taxable losses of the combined entities for the period June 22, 1994 through December 31, 1994, the year ended December 31, 1995 and the period January 1, 1996 through March 27, 1996. Upon formation of Euronet N.V. on March 27, 1996, the income tax benefit was calculated solely on the basis of the taxable loss of Euronet Holding N.V. The tax effect of temporary differences and carryforwards which give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, 1996 1995 1994 ------------- ------------ ------------ (IN THOUSANDS) Tax loss carryforwards............................ 754 233 59 Leasing........................................... 4 12 -- Leasehold improvements............................ 32 21 -- Interest accrual.................................. 59 -- -- Other accruals.................................... 46 -- -- ----- ----- ---- Deferred tax asset................................ 895 266 59 Valuation allowance............................... (528) (118) (59) ----- ----- ---- Net deferred tax assets........................... 367 148 -- ===== ===== ====
The valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets established under SFAS No. 109 for loss carryforwards of $3,687,000. The tax operating loss carryforwards will expire through 1999 for Bankomat and through 2001 for Bank 24, SatComNet and Euronet Holding N.V. Based on Euronet N.V.'s forecast of sufficient taxable income for future periods in which the tax losses are expected to be absorbed, Euronet N.V. believes that it will realise the benefit of the deferred tax assets, net of the existing valuation allowance. F-14 71 EURONET HOLDING N.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (10) SHARE PLANS AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS (a) Share Compensation Plan Euronet N.V. has established a share compensation plan which provides certain employees options to purchase shares of Euronet N.V.'s common stock. The exercise price is established based on the estimated fair value of the shares at grant date. Such value is determined by management taking into consideration recent equity or convertible security transactions as well as changes in Euronet N.V.'s business. The options vest over a period of five years from the date of grant. Options are exercisable during the term of employment or consulting arrangements with Euronet N.V. and its subsidiaries. Euronet N.V. has the right to repurchase shares within 180 days from an employee who has exercised his options but has ceased to be employed by Euronet N.V. At September 30, 1996, Euronet N.V. has authorized options for the purchase of 921,550 shares of common shares, of which 886,550 have been awarded to employees. Of that amount, options for 255,640 shares have vested as of September 30, 1996. The option exercise price varies between $0.71 and $1.43. No compensation has been recorded for such share options. The exercise price of the employee share options has been modified to reflect the stock split registered on October 11, 1996 and the proposed capital structure of the new holding company, Euronet Services Inc. Subsequent to September 30, 1996, Euronet N.V. has authorized further options for the purchase of 378,000 shares of which 176,400 were awarded at option exercise prices between $1.43 and $2.14.

The milestone awards vest and become exercisable on the date on which any one or more of the three performance goals described in the Shareholders Agreement is attained. One third of the milestone awards vest upon the occurrence of each milestone. The milestone options vest and become exercisable upon the earlier of October 14, 2006, or the date on which any one or more of the three performance goals described in the Shareholders Agreement is attained. One third of the milestone options vest upon the occurrence of each milestone. The exercise price of the milestone options is established based on the estimated fair value of the shares at grant date. Such value is determined by management taking into consideration recent equity or convertible security transactions as well as changes in Euronet N.V.'s business. In the event of an initial public offering all milestones awards and milestone options granted under the milestone arrangement (with the exception of 49,819 options to certain key employees which will vest equally over two years following the initial public offering) shall be considered to have been met and all preferred shares shall become immediately issuable to beneficiaries of milestone awards and options.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) one million dollars).

Cash and short-term investments are placed with high-credit quality financial institutions or in short-term duration, high-quality debt securities. Management believes that the credit risk associated with trade receivables, cash and short-term investments is minimal due to the control procedures which monitor credit worthiness of customers and financial institutions.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under "Item 14, Indemnification of Directors and Officers" above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) It will provide to the U.S. Underwriters at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the U.S. Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

SOLUTION DELIVERY AGREEMENT CONDITIONS: PREAMBLE WHEREAS the Customer intends to create a national network of Automatic Teller Machines (ATM's) throughout Hungary, offering banks an opportunity to provide advanced retail services to their customers; WHEREAS the Customer intends to provide client banks in Hungary with a large publicly accessible and demographically chosen network of ATM's and the customer file verification capabilities; whereas the Customer intends to run this network with advanced technology, a high level of reliability and customer service; WHEREAS the Customer has examined offers for this Project from different sources and decided to use the advanced ATM solutions offered by IBM; NOW THEREFORE the undersigning Parties enter into a cooperation to execute the above described Project in Hungary with the terms and conditions specified in this Solution Delivery Agreement. SUBJECT Subject to the Solution Delivery Agreement is the delivery to the Customer of one or more specified individual items, in accordance with the relevant Agreements attached hereto, at a Single Fixed Price. Any additional products not listed in the Supplements of Appendices A through F respectively, are subject to a separate agreement between the Parties. Appendices A, B, B1, C, D, E, F, G and H form an integral part of this Solution Delivery Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement regarding maintenance and the Maintenance Agreement will continue in effect for the entire time for which may Maintenance Settlement Amount is paid by the Customer. In the original Agreement, the general term ATM referred to the IBM 4785. In Amendment No. 1 the term ATM refers to the IBM 4785, 4782 or 4788 interchangeably. In Amendment No. 3 the term ATM refers to the IBM 4781, 4782, 4783, 4785, 4788 or 4789 interchangeably. In amendment No. 7 the term ATM refers to any self service ATM or Cash Dispenser which is either generally announced and made available by IBM in the territory of this Agreement or not generally announced and made available by IBM in the territory of this Agreement but mutually agreed by Parties to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. Where a particular model is intended it will be so specified. In respect of ATMs ordered for Hungary after the signature of Amendment No. 2 the feature number 4531 (Keyboard Display Module) will no longer be supplied with the ATMs. Instead the non-IBM products described in Appendix F will be supplied - their prices are included in the ATM prices in Appendix C. The IBM Maintenance described in Appendix E does not apply to the Non-IBM Products. DELIVERY IBM will deliver each specified individual item under: 1. the conditions of the corresponding attached Agreements/s 2. these Solution Delivery Agreement Conditions. In case of conflict, the Solution Delivery Agreement Conditions together with Appendix G prevail. The Estimated Solution Delivery Date specified in this Solution Delivery Agreement (and its Attachments) is for Customer planning purposes only. Deliveries will be mutually agreed, and each delivery will be initiated by a request from the Customer. The first delivery was to consist of the AS/400 and 3 4785s. Immediately prior to this delivery, further 4785s were to be ordered by the Customer making a total of at least 10 for delivery in the fourth quarter of 1994. The Customer will take delivery of at least 50 ATMs. The Customer will make every effort to ensure that each subsequent delivery contains at least 10 ATMs. The Customer will order a delivery to occur at least every four months assuming a 60 day lead time and will take delivery of said items. In order to facilitate the ordering and delivery procedure between Parties, Parties will follow the process defined in the Ordering and Delivery Procedure (Appendix H). The Customer will take delivery of a combination of ATM models with an invoiced contract value of at least DEM 2.133.750, = each year after 1994 until the end of the contract delivery period. The Customer will take delivery of at least 34 additional 4785s (after signature of Amendment No. 1) by September 1995. If the Customer does not adhere to this, he will be deemed to have terminated for convenience in accordance with the Termination Clause below at the date when non-compliance becomes apparent. SINGLE FIXED PRICE/ PAYMENT The Customer will pay the Single Fixed Price in accordance with the relevant provision of the Terms and Conditions for Purchase (unless the Termination Clause below applies). The Single Fixed Price is a fixed price; it override any provision contained in the attached Agreements concerning variations to the IBM standard prices; The Single Fixed Price includes the installation costs for the delivered ATMs under this Agreement. Installation here means: * conversion of ATM on safe location until delivery to site * unpacking * setting up * checking configuration * taking care of missing or defective parts if necessary * loading ATM software 3 - offline testing at a test location (assuming that line is available) The Single Fixed Price is specified in the Solution Delivery Agreement on page 1 as "Total Price". However the Customer will be invoiced this Total Price split into two separate sets of invoices invoices issued by IBM WTC and IBM Hungary resp. IBM Poland respectively, and amounting together to the Total Price as specified above; the local invoice will be converted to the equivalent of the DEM amount in local currency according to the Terms and Conditions and its Attachments specified in Appendix E (Terms and Conditions for IBM System Service) and Appendix B (Foreign Trade Assignment) and Appendix B1 (Foreign Trade Services). Upon the Customer's written request IBM will provide further information regarding prices and charges for any Products, Programs and Services furnished by IBM under this Agreement. The Single Fixed Price payment includes an element of DEM 100,000.- for future as yet unspecified enhancements to the loan AS/400, which the Customer may reasonably require during the course of the solution implementation. These upgrades are deliverable after the Customer has taken delivery of ATM's in the invoiced and paid value of at least DEM 3,922,979. The Customer will notify IBM of its requirements in writing and IBM will place these enhancements on order and deliver them, notifying the Customer of the amount remaining of the DEM 100,000,- In case of later upgrade of ATM's bought under this Agreement or configuration changes based on announcements of new products, IBM will endeavour to apply the same pricing principles and methodology as applied for the calculation of the present Single Fixed Price for hardware, software and services. For the duration of this Agreement IBM will not bid or charge a lower price and service charge per ATM in other comparable customer situations and under comparable terms and conditions in Hungary for the purchase of 400 or less ATMs of substantially similar configuration as the ones included in Appendix C. The above commitment applies only until the end of March 1998. There will be no retrospective reductions in price of machines or service. The Single Fixed Price will be paid in installments corresponding to delivery's; the maintenance portion will be paid quarterly in advance, starting at the end of the warranty period of each machine. Three weeks before shipment of a particular delivery IBM will send to the Customer an Advance Invoice stating its value. The Customer is eligible for a 2% prepayment discount if payment is received in IBM's bank account before the equipment arrives at IBM's Distribution Centre in Germany. TAXES AND FEES In addition the Customer will pay amounts equal to any taxes and fees relating to the Agreement or any activities hereunder. END-USER ENTERPRISE DESIGNATION IBM's granting of the single fixed price is dependent on the Customer's assurance that it is acquiring the products delivered under this Solution Delivery Agreement for installation and use within its own business enterprise in Hungary resp, Poland and not for remarketing. For the purpose of this Solution Delivery Agreement an end-user enterprise is defined as a company or a group of associated companies and/or subsidiaries of the Customer in which one such company owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of each of the subsidiaries or associates which will use the products delivered under this Solution Delivery Agreement in the ordinary course of business and not for resale or lease. COOPERATION ON EXCHANGE OF EXPERIENCE In order to gain a wide range of experience about the Hungarian market reactions to the extended appearance of ATM's and in order to examine the operation of the first Hungarian banking network technology, IBM will provide an AS/400 on a loan basis at the premises on the Customer to support the introduction and execution of the Project outlined in the Preamble, subject to the Terms and Conditions specified in the attached Loan Agreement (Appendix A). In return, the Customer shall provide IBM with appropriate information on his knowledge, experience and progress with the operation of the subject banking network outlined in the Preamble through periodic reviews with the responsible IBM team on a quarterly basis, which period might be lengthened by mutual agreement depending on the result of the reviews.

Program materials labeled as "Restricted Materials of IBM", may be used by the Customer only for the following purposes: 1) to make modifications to the Customer product and/or programs so that they will function with the applicable IBM Program; and 2) to make modifications to such Program; and 3) to assist in problem determination and resolution associated with use of such Program. 12 d. IBM may specify a usage restriction for certain Programs. Any usage exceeding this restriction requires a separate license and/or payment of further charges. When IBM specifies that a Program is delivered for purpose of storage only, such Programs may be copied into a machine but not otherwise used except under the provisions of a separate authorization. e. A separate license is required for each Machine on which the Customer uses the Program except that the Customer may: 1) change the Designated Machine or make any upgrade or downgrade thereto subject to written confirmation from IBM and acceptance of any consequent revision to charges; and 2) temporarily use the Program on a back-up machine whilst the Designated Machine is inoperable; and 3) assemble or compile the Program on another machine if the Designated Machine is not capable of doing so; and 4) in the event that IBM grants an installation license, use the Program on any machine in the same installation (single room or contiguous rooms) as the Designated Machine; and 5) in the event that IBM grants a location license, use the Program on any Customer machine in the same location (single building or postal address) as the Designated Machine. A subsequent release of the same program number may be used for production/testing while productive use of the previous release continues on the same Designated Machine. f. Additional Licenses The Customer may order Additional Licenses for a Program which IBM previously distributed to it. The Customer may copy the machine readable portion of a previously distributed Program, for use on another machine, provided IBM has received the signed Supplement for the Additional License and the Customer has fulfilled its payment obligations as set forth under 3. above. The Customer shall inform IBM of the date the Program has been copied. This Additional License is subject to confirmation by IBM within 2 months by countersigning the Supplement. Without such confirmation, any use of the Additional License after 2 months is in violation of the Agreement. For some Programs IBM may specify that Additional Licenses are available through the Distributed Systems License Option (DSLO) procedure. If specified by IBM, the Customer may obtain one or more licenses in addition to the initial license ("Basic License") for a DSLO Charge. For each DSLO license, unless IBM provides otherwise, the Customer will: 1) copy the Program's machine readable portion and use such copy on the DSLO Designated Machine; 2) distribute to, install and test on the DSLO Designated Machine any new release, correction or bypass which IBM provides to the Basic License Designated Machine; 3) communicate with IBM in respect of problem documentation and identification, and receive program services and warranty (if any) only through the Basic License location. 4) designate a new Basic License to replace a terminated Basic License. If a terminated Basic License is not replaced, all related DSLO licenses are automatically considered as terminated. g. If "Feature Distribution" is indicated in the Supplement for a feature of a Program, the Customer may distribute and use copies of that feature on machines other than the Designated Machine under the provisions of a separate authorization. h. Program material provided by IBM in printed or other non-machine readable form may not be copied. Additional copies may be licensed at a charge. On request, following general availability, the Program's printed portion may be shipped up to 6 months in advance. 13 i. The machine readable documentation may include IBM designated "L", "G" and "S" manuals, which IBM may provide as a feature for the Program. The Customer may use, copy and modify such documentation as specified by IBM. 5. TERMINATION a. The Customer may terminate the license for any Program by written notice as follows: 1) during the testing period, at any time with immediate effect; 2) following expiry of any testing period, upon at least 1 month's written notice. b. IBM may terminate the license with immediate effect if the Customer is in breach of any of its obligations under the Agreement, or as specified in the Supplement. c. Within 1 month after termination of the license, the Customer will destroy all applicable copies of the Program, including the Program which is a data base, translations or modifications and remove the Program from all updated works. One copy may be retained for archival purposes only. This requirement does not apply to individual pieces of data base obtained from a Program which constitutes a data base and which constitute a minor part thereof. Upon IBM's written request, the Customer will certify that it has fully complied with this section. 6. SHIPMENT AND RISK OF LOSS OR DAMAGE a. IBM will specify the estimated shipment date of each Program. Either party may change it as necessary. b. Risk of loss or damage passes to the Customer upon delivery. Thereafter, IBM will replace lost or damaged programs, at applicable charges, if any, for handling and media. 7. TESTING During the testing period, if any, the Customer may use the Program free of charge and for non-productive purposes only, to determine that it meets the Customer's requirements. The testing period commences on the Date of Availability. The Customer will notify IBM if the Program is used for productive purposes, upon which the testing period will terminate immediately. There is no testing period for DSLO licenses. 8. PROTECTION AND SECURITY The Customer is responsible for taking appropriate action to satisfy its obligations under the Agreement, including: a. not distributing any Program without IBM's written consent; b. not giving access to a Program which is a data base to others nor make any data in the data base available to any other person. c. not making the Program available to others, except when: a) on the Customer's premises or b) authorized by the Customer to have remote access to it, for purposes specifically related to authorized use; 14 d. reproducing IBM's copyright notice(s) and any other legend on any authorized copy in accordance with IBM's copyright instructions; e. maintaining records of the number and location of all copies of any Program and advise IBM in writing if the original or any copy will be kept at premises other than that of the Designated Machine; f. before disposing of any media, ensuring that any Program contained on it has been erased or destroyed. 9. WARRANTY a. IBM warrants that any Program, for which IBM warranty is specified, will conform, at shipment date, to the current Licensed Program Specifications. This warranty applies only if the Program is properly used in a Specified Operating Environment. While Program Services are available, the Customer may inform IBM if it believes that the Program does not meet its specifications. IBM will provide Program Services as described under section "Program Services". All other Programs are distributed "as is" without a warranty of any kind. b. IBM does not warrant that the Program will operate in all selected combinations or that it will meet the Customer's requirements. It is state of the art that uninterrupted or error-free operation cannot be warranted. c. The foregoing warranties are in place of all other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. 10. PROGRAM SERVICES a. IBM may specify that Program Services are available, if any, without additional charge for certain Programs. Such services will be available from IBM after delivery of the Program or after the Customer has copied the Program under an Additional License, to asset in problem diagnosis and resolution in any unaltered portion of a current release of such Programs, provided the defect can be reproduced by IBM in the Specified Operating Environment. b. If Central Service is provided, IBM's designated Central Service locations will accept documentation, prepared and submitted by the Customer in a standard format, indicating a defect in a program under program service. Central Service will respond by issuing: 1. defect correction information, 2. a restriction, or 3. a bypass. c. IBM may also specify that it will provide the Customer with telephone assistance in problem diagnosis and resolution through a Support Center. d. For each version of a Program, IBM will specify that Program Services, if any, will be available 1) until discontinued by IBM on 6 months written notice or 2) until a designated date. In addition, when a subsequent Program release becomes available, IBM may discontinue Program Services for any or all previous releases. IBM does not guarantee service results or that IBM will be able to correct all Program defects. 11. PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS IBM, at its expense, will defend the Customer against any claim that a Program licensed under the Agreement infringes a patent or copyright effective in the Country of Installation. IBM will pay all costs, 15 damages and attorney fees that a court finally awards as a result of such claim, provided that the Customer a) gives IBM prompt written notice of any such claim and b) allows IBM to control, and fully cooperates with IBM in, the defense and all related settlement negotiations. If a Program becomes, or IBM believes it is likely to become, the subject of such a claim, IBM, at its option and expense, may either secure for the Customer a right of continued use or replace or modify it so that it becomes non-infringing. If neither of these alternatives is available on terms which IBM judges to be reasonable, the Customer on request will return the Program. IBM will grant the Customer a credit for any Program whose total charges are fully paid or, in case of periodic charges already paid, IBM will issue a credit for the rest of the period following such return pro rata based on a 30-day-month. IBM shall have no obligation with respect to any claim based on the Customer's modification of Programs or their combination, operation or use with apparatus, data or programs not furnished by IBM or in other than the Specified Operating Environment. This clause states IBM's entire obligation to the Customer regarding infringement or the like. 12. LIABILITY a. IBM's entire liability and the Customer's exclusive remedy are as follows: In all situations involving non-performance of a warranted Program, IBM will attempt to make it operate as warranted. If, after repeated efforts, IBM does not succeed, the Customer is entitled to recover actual damages to the limits set forth in this clause. Such limits also apply to any other claim involving IBM's performance. b. IBM's liability for actual damages from any cause will be limited to the greater of: 1) DM 150,000 (one hundredfifty thousand Deutsch Mark), or 2) the one-time charge paid for, or due, or any charges which would be due for 12 months' use of the individual Program that caused the damages, or that is the subject matter of, or is directly related to, the cause of action. Such charges shall be those in effect when the cause of action arose. The above limitation applies, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract or in tort including negligence, except in respect of: 1) payments made under the clause "Patents and Copyrights"; and 2) claims related to personal injury or damage to real property or tangible personal property caused solely by IBM's negligence. c. In no event will IBM be liable for any damages caused by the Customer's failure to perform its responsibilities, or arising during the testing period from non-performance of Programs or any lost profits, lost savings, incidental damages, other economic consequential damages, or any claim made against the Customer by any other party, except under the clause "Patents and Copyrights", even if IBM has been advised of the possibility of such damages, loss or claim. The limitation of remedies described in this section also applies to any developer of a Program supplied to IBM, IBM's and its developer's limitation of remedies are not cumulative. Such developer is an intended beneficiary of this section. 13. GENERAL a. The Customer may not grant sub-licenses with respect to the Program. b. The Customer may not assign or transfer the Agreement or any rights or obligations under it, or the Program without IBM's prior written consent. 16 c. IBM may modify these terms only on at least 3 months' prior written notice to the Customer, except that modifications to the termination provisions shall be effective only for orders received by IBM after the date of notice of modification. d. No actions, regardless of form, arising out of the Agreement, may be brought by either party more than three years after the cause of action or, in the case of payment, more than three years after the date that the last payment was due. Except that, in respect of the Customer's obligations under "Protection and Security", the period for such actions shall be six years. e. The Customer is responsible for the selection, installation and use of the Programs and the results obtained therefrom, as well as their combination with each other, or with other programs, programming, equipment or services. f. Neither party shall be responsible for failure to fulfil its obligations due to causes beyond its control. g. The Customer agrees that Programs and technical data provided under this Agreement are subject to all applicable export control laws and regulations, e.g. those of the exporting country and the United States of America. IBM's obligations under this Agreement and IBM's performance of any related activity are subject to export licensing which is beyond IBM's control and for which IBM does not assume any responsibility. h. The Agreement will be governed by the laws of Austria. All disputes arising out of this Agreement or related to its violation, termination or nullity shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration and Conciliation of the International Arbitral Centre of the Federal Economic Chamber in Vienna (Vienna Rules) by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with these rules. The arbitration shall be held in Vienna, Austria, and the official language of the proceedings shall be English. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon both parties and therefore the parties, pursuant to paragraph 598(2) of the Austrian Code of Civil Procedure, expressly waive the application of paragraph 595(1) figure 7 of the said Code. IBM may, however, institute proceedings in a competent court in the Country of Installation.

Purpose of Plan. The purpose of the Euronet Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is to (i) increase the ownership of common stock of Euronet Services Inc. (the "Company") by those key employees or independent consultants who are primarily responsible for the continued growth, development and financial success of the Company and its subsidiaries, and (ii) attract and retain such employees and consultants and reward them for the continued profitable performance of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board") on December 17, 1996. Certain stock option grants were made to employees and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries in agreements made prior to the date of adoption of this Plan.

In the event that 2 a public market is created for shares, then the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock on any day shall be the closing sale quotation on the market with respect to which such shares are traded as reported for such day or, if no such quotation is reported for such day, the average of the high bid and low asked price of common stock as reported for such day. If no quotation is made for the applicable day, the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock on such day shall be determined in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence using quotations for the next preceding day for which there were quotations, provided that such quotations shall have been made within the ten (10) "trading" days preceding the applicable day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no such information is available or if otherwise deemed necessary or appropriate by the Option Committee, the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock on any day shall be determined in good faith by the Option Committee taking into account all relevant material facts and circumstances.

"Stock Option Agreement" -- an agreement entered into by an Optionee and the Company pursuant to Section 5 of this Plan. "Subsidiary" -- any corporation of which 50% or more of the outstanding voting stock or voting power is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. 2 3 "Termination" -- termination of the employment or the consulting arrangement of a person with the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company may, in its discretion, determine whether any "leave of absence" constitutes a Termination for purposes of this Plan and the impact, if any, of any such leave of absence on Awards made under this Plan. The Company shall have the right to determine whether the termination of a Participant's employment or consulting arrangement is a dismissal for cause and the date of Termination in such case, which date the Company may retroactively deem to be the date of the action that constitutes cause for dismissal. Such determinations of the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive. "Vested Shares" -- shares of Stock with respect to which an Optionee's purchase right under an Option has vested in accordance with the terms of Section 5.6. 3.

The Plan shall be administered in accordance with the terms of this Plan document by the Board or a committee thereof, provided that all questions of interpretation regarding the terms and conditions pursuant to which Awards are granted, exercised or forfeited under the provisions hereof, shall be subject to the determination of the Board or the Option Committee, as the case may be. Any such determination shall be final and binding upon all parties affected thereby. 4.2 Indemnification. Each member of the Board or the Option Committee (and each person to whom any of them has delegated any authority or power under this Plan) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or incurred by such person in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which such person may be a party or in which such person may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan; and (ii) any and all amounts paid by such person in satisfaction of judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding relating to the Plan. Each person covered by this indemnification shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such person undertakes to handle and defend it on such person's own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or of any other power that the Company may have to indemnify such person or hold such person harmless. 3 4 4.3 Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Board or the Option Committee (and each person to whom any of them has delegated any authority or power under this Plan) shall be fully justified in relying or acting in good faith upon any report made by the independent public accountants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan. In no event shall any person who is or shall have been a member of the Board or the Option Committee be liable for any determination made or other action taken or any omission to act in reliance upon any such report or information or for any action taken, including the furnishing of information, or failure to act, if in good faith. 5. Stock Options. 5.1 Grant of Stock Options. The Company may, from time to time, grant Stock Options for shares of common stock in the Company to one or more Eligible Persons, provided that: (i) all grants must be approved in advance by the Board; (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Stock subject to Stock Options under this Plan, subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 5.11, may not exceed [Two Million Four Hundred Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty-Six (2,413,586)] shares; (iii) in the event that a Stock Option lapses or the rights of the Participant to whom it as granted terminate, any shares of Stock subject to such Option shall again be available for the grant of an Option to another Eligible Person under this Plan; and (iv) shares of Stock delivered by the Company under this Plan may be either authorized and unissued Stock, Stock held in the treasury of the Company or Stock purchased on the open market (including private purchases), in accordance with any applicable Securities Act. 5.2 Payment Nature of Option. All Options granted shall be in consideration of services performed for the Company or its Subsidiaries by the Optionee. All Options granted shall constitute a special incentive payment to the Optionee and shall not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Optionee for the purpose of determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, life insurance or other benefit plan of the Company or under any agreement between the Company and the Optionee, unless such plan or agreement specifically otherwise provides. 5.3 Eligibility. Key employees and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including employees and consultants who are members of the Board) who, in the opinion and sole discretion of the Company, are primarily responsible for the continued growth and development and financial success of the business of the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall be eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Company may from time to time select from such Eligible Persons those to whom Awards shall be granted and determine the nature and amount of each Award. The Company shall not be under any obligation to grant any employee or consultant of the Company or its Subsidiaries an Award under this Plan. 5.4 Non-Uniform Determinations. The Company's determinations under this Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among Eligible Persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Options (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations which may, inter alia, reflect the specific terms of individual employment or consulting agreements, and to enter into non-uniform and selective 4 5 Option Agreements, as to (a) the persons qualified to receive Options and (b) the terms and conditions of Options. 5.5 Number of Shares of Stock Subject to Option. In determining the size of Options to be granted, the Company shall take into account a prospective Participant's job responsibilities, level, performance, potential, cash compensation level, the Fair Market Value of the Stock at the time of granting the Award, as well as such other considerations it deems appropriate. 5.6 Stock Option Terms. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Company and the Participant under terms and conditions approved by the Company, provided, however, that unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement, the following terms and conditions shall apply: (1) The Optionee's right to exercise the Options granted shall vest over a period of five years, in five tranches, each equal to one-fifth of the total number of shares of Stock which are the subject of an Option grant. One tranche shall vest on each anniversary of the Date of Grant for five years after the Date of Grant. (2) The Options are exercisable with respect to Vested Shares either in total or in part, with a partial exercise not affecting the exercisability of the balance of the Option. (3) Each Option shall cease to be exercisable as to any share of Stock, at the earliest of (i) the Optionee's purchase of the entire amount of Stock to which the Option relates or (ii) the lapse of the Option in accordance with Section 5.8 below. (4) Options are not transferable by the Optionee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable (i) during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee or by the Optionee's guardian or legal representative or (ii) after an Optionee's death by the representative of the estate of the Optionee as provided in Section 5.8. In the event a Stock Option Agreement establishes an Option Period which does not begin immediately upon the grant thereof, such agreement may initially provide, or the Company may at any time thereafter unilaterally amend it to provide, for the immediate exercisability of the Option granted therein upon the occurrence of events determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, to justify such immediate exercisability. (5) The Option price per share of Stock shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value at the Date of Grant. The Option price shall be payable in cash, in full, at the time of the exercise of the Option. 5.7 Dividend Equivalency. Any Option may, in the discretion of the Company, provide for dividend equivalency rights under which the Participant shall be entitled to additional payments, in the nature of compensation, equal to the amount of dividends which would have been paid, during the period such Option is held, on the number of shares of Stock equal to the number of shares subject to such Option. 5 6 5.8 Lapse of Option. An Option will lapse upon the first occurrence of one of the following circumstances: (i) 10 years from the Date of Grant; (ii) on the 90th day following the Optionee's Date of Retirement; (iii) on the date which is 60 days after an Optionee's Termination; or (iv) at the expiration of the Option Period set forth in the Stock Option Agreement. If, however, the Optionee dies within the Option Period and prior to the lapse of the Option, the Option shall lapse unless it is exercised within the Option Period or six months from the date of the Optionee's death, whichever is earlier, by the Optionee's legal representative or representatives or by the person or persons entitled to do so under the Optionee's will or, if the Optionee shall fail to make a testamentary disposition of such Option or shall die intestate, by the person or persons entitled to receive said Option under the applicable laws of descent and distribution. 5.9 Change in Control. (1) "Change In Control" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any of the following events: (i) any Person or group of Persons (other than any shareholder of the Company as of the Adoption Date), becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, whether by purchase, acquisition or otherwise, of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company; or (ii) the Company's shareholders approve an agreement to merge, consolidate, liquidate, or sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets. The Company shall give prompt notice to all Optionees in the event it becomes aware that a Change In Control has occurred. (2) Upon the event of a Change in Control: (i) any Option outstanding prior to the date of the Change in Control shall become, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Stock Option Agreement, fully vested and immediately exercisable; and (ii) the Company may, in its sole discretion and subject to the provisions of Section 7 below, amend any Stock Option Agreement in such manner as it deems appropriate, but only as to those Options which have not been exercised. (3) Whenever deemed appropriate by the Company, any action referred to in Section 5.9(2)(ii) may be made conditional upon the consummation of the applicable Change in Control transaction. 5.10 Restrictions. In furtherance of the foregoing, at the time of any exercise of an Option, the Company may, if it shall determine it necessary or desirable for any reason, require the Optionee, as a condition to the exercise thereof, to deliver to the Company a written representation of the Optionee's present intention to purchase the Stock for investment and not for distribution. Each Option shall also be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Company determines, in its discretion, that either (i) the registration or qualification of Stock subject to an Option under any Securities Act, or (ii) the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issue or purchase of Stock thereunder, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. 5.11 Changes in Capital Structure. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Stock by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar changes in the Stock, then appropriate adjustments shall be made in the 6 7 shares of Stock theretofore awarded to the Optionees and in the aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be awarded pursuant to the Plan. Such adjustments shall be made by the Company and shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes. Additional shares of Stock issued to a Optionee as the result of any such change shall bear the same restrictions as the shares of Stock to which they relate. 6. Other Payments or Options. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed, in any way, to limit or restrict the Company from granting an option to purchase Stock or payment to any person under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in effect. 7. Amendment and Termination. The Board may, from time to time, suspend, discontinue, revise or amend this Plan in any respect whatsoever provided however that no such amendment shall materially impair any rights or materially increase any obligations under any outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant (or, upon the Participant's death or adjudication of mental incapacity, the person having the right to exercise the Award). 8. Miscellaneous Provisions. 8.1 Non-transferability. No benefit provided under this Plan shall be subject to alienation or assignment by a Optionee (or by any person entitled to such benefit pursuant to the terms of this Plan), nor shall it be subject to attachment or other legal process of whatever nature. Any attempted alienation, assignment or attachment shall be void and of no effect whatsoever. Payment shall be made only to the Optionee entitled to receive the same or said Optionee's authorized legal representative. 8.2 No Employment Right or Right of Retainer. Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any right to be retained as an officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 8.3 Tax Withholding. Either the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall have the right to deduct from all Awards paid in cash any taxes as it deems to be required by law to be withheld with respect to such cash payments. In the case of Awards paid in Stock, the employee or other person receiving such Stock may be required to pay to the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, the amount of any such taxes which the Company or a Subsidiary is required to withhold with respect to such Stock. At the request of an Optionee, or as required by law, upon the exercise of an Option, such sums as may be required for the payment of any estimated or accrued income tax liability may be withheld or paid by the Optionee to the Company and remitted to the governmental entity entitled to receive the same. 8.4 Fractional Shares. Any fractional shares concerning Awards shall be eliminated at the time of payment or payout by rounding down for fractions of less than one-half and rounding up for fractions of equal to or more than one-half. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding. 8.5 Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to make payment of Awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and 7 8 regulations, and to such approvals by any government agencies as may be required. If Stock awarded under the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, the Company may restrict its transfer in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure such exempt status. 8.6 Company Successors. In the event the Company becomes a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of its assets or any other corporate reorganization in which the Company will not be the surviving corporation or in which the holders of the Stock will receive securities of another corporation (in any such case, the "New Company"), then the New Company shall assume the rights and obligations of the Company under this Plan. 8.7 Governing Law. All matters relating to the Plan or to Awards granted hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands Antilles, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. 8.8 Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any other pension, retirement, profit-sharing or group insurance plan of the Company or any Subsidiary. 8.9 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries. 8.10 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles and headings, shall control. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be adopted effective as of December 3, 1996. EURONET SERVICES INC. _______________________________________ Michael J.
