Setting the Record Straight
MoneyGram recently received an unsolicited proposal from another interested buyer. As a result, there has been a lot of misinformation out there and Ant Financial would like to set the record straight.
ANT FINANCIAL IS A
PRIVATE, ENTREPRENEURIAL, GLOBAL COMPANY
Ant Financial was founded by Jack Ma, one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world
Ant Financial is not controlled by the Chinese government
A handful of Chinese state-owned or -affiliated funds (such as pension funds) have invested in Ant Financial
These are non-controlling, passive investors and most own a de minimis percentage (<1%)
None of these entities has any participation in Ant Financial’s management or Board nor any special rights
Ant Financial’s outside investors (including all state-affiliated funds) do not and will not have access to any private customer data
PROTECTING CONSUMER DATA AND USER PRIVACY IS OF THE HIGHEST PRIORITY
• Ant Financial serves more than 630 million users worldwide – a company of this scale does not grow this big without the trust of its users
• MoneyGram has been a trusted resource for over 75 years – it will continue to manage its customer data the same way as it does today
• All PII and cyber security protections will remain intact
• Any consumer data generated by MoneyGram in the U.S. will continue to be stored on servers in the United States and data security will remain fully in the hands of U.S. citizens
• MoneyGram’s network will remain entirely separate and independent from Ant Financial’s network and Ant Financial will not have access to any MoneyGram customer data
ANT FINANCIAL AND MONEYGRAM WILL CONTINUE TO COMPLY WITH ALL U.S. LAWS AND REGULATIONS
• Ant Financial already fully complies with applicable laws in the United States and 200+ other countries and territories
• MoneyGram will continue to operate as an independent subsidiary and comply in the same way it does today
MoneyGram’s compliance functions (including its anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance) will continue to be operated on a standalone basis, supported by its own independent technology infrastructure and data centers
• MoneyGram, like all major remittance companies, currently operates in China with no issues related to the protection of consumer data. In fact, Ant Financial is planning to further invest in and bolster MoneyGram’s comprehensive global anti-money laundering efforts
Ant Financial Already Partners with Leading American Companies

THE MONEYGRAM
COMMUNITY
Dear MoneyGram Employees, Agents, Customers and Partners:
Earlier this year, Ant Financial and MoneyGram together announced plans to join forces . As a leading
digital payments company, Ant Financial’s users are global and increasingly looking to transfer money
around the world - which is what MoneyGram does best. We want to take a moment to tell you why
we are thrilled to pursue our shared vision of global financial inclusion.
We value your team . MoneyGram’s management team and employees are the backbone of the
organization . We want to work with you, invest in your business and technology and create even
more career growth opportunities for MoneyGram employees in the U.S . and around the world.
We value your customers. Following the transaction, customers will continue to access the same
quick, reliable and affordable remittance services they’ve come to know and trust. By connecting the
Ant Financial and MoneyGram ecosystems, we envision an enhanced financial services platform that
puts the customer first, no matter where they are in the world .
We value your agents and partners. Once we merge, MoneyGram’s agents and partners will
have access to new solutions as we enhance our offerings to meet the needs of markets around the
world. In the years to come, we’ll look to expand beyond remittance, enabling you to better serve
your customers .
We value the trust customers place in MoneyGram. With over 650 million users worldwide,
earning the trust of our users is the single most important thing we do at Ant Financial. So, protecting
user data and information is of paramount importance to us . Any data collected on MoneyGram
users in the U.S . will continue to reside on the same ironclad U.S.-based servers that meet the high
security standards your customers trust today. We also plan to further invest in MoneyGram’s global
compliance and anti-money laundering programs.
If you need an example of our partnerships in the U.S., look no further than Kansas City-based
EyeVerify. Since acquiring them last year, we have made significant investments in the business, nearly
doubled its workforce in the U.S . and helped grow this American start-up into a stronger company.
We intend to do the same with MoneyGram- and we are excited to help MoneyGram expand its
business globally for the digital future of the remittance industry.
We truly appreciate all you have done to make MoneyGram what it is today. As we make progress
toward closing, our commitment to completing this agreed merger is unwavering. We look forward
to welcoming you to the Ant Financial team by the end of the year.

MoneyGram Agrees to Merge with Ant Financial

MoneyGram will continue to be headquartered in the United States and operate under its existing brand

DALLAS, Texas and HANGZHOU, China, Jan. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — MoneyGram (NASDAQ: MGI), a global provider of innovative money transfer services, and Ant Financial Services Group, one of the world’s leading digital financial services providers and parent company of Alipay, a global mobile payment platform, today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which MoneyGram will merge with Ant Financial, with stockholders of MoneyGram being offered $13.25 per share in cash. The transaction will connect MoneyGram’s money transfer network of 2.4 billion bank and mobile accounts and 350,000 physical locations with Ant Financial’s users, who enjoy a broad suite of technology-based financial services, including payments, credit and insurance products. The combination will provide consumers in over 200 countries and territories with convenient and accessible financial services, which furthers Ant Financial’s mission to promote equal access to financial services globally.

The services of MoneyGram and Ant Financial are highly complementary. MoneyGram, which will remain headquartered in Dallas and continue to operate under its existing brand, will be able to leverage Ant Financial’s global presence and existing network to serve more than 630 million users — including 450 million with Alipay and 180 million with India’s leading mobile payment provider Paytm — to increase MoneyGram’s transaction volume across the broad Asia-Pacific region. The transaction will also help expand Ant Financial’s business in new global markets following its recent partnerships with Paytm in India and Ascend Money in Thailand.

“The acquisition of MoneyGram is a significant milestone in our mission to bring inclusive financial services to users around the world,” said Eric Jing, Chief Executive Officer of Ant Financial. “We believe financial services should be simple, low-cost and accessible to the many, not the few. The combination of Ant Financial and MoneyGram will provide greater access, security and simplicity for people around the world to remit funds, especially in major economies such as the United States, China, India, Mexico and the Philippines.”

Mr. Jing continued: “One of MoneyGram’s greatest strengths is its high-quality team of employees. We are committed to continuing to invest in MoneyGram’s workforce and growing jobs in the United States, where MoneyGram has made a mark with outstanding customer service, innovative products and industry-leading technology and compliance programs.”

“This transaction will significantly benefit consumers throughout the world who depend on innovative and reliable financial connections to friends and family,” said Alex Holmes, Chief Executive Officer of MoneyGram. “MoneyGram can now accelerate and expand our suite of global hybrid solutions and integrate an even larger digital and physical network, making money transfers easier for customers and providing a wider selection of services for the agents who serve them around the world. Ant Financial is an ideal partner for MoneyGram; together, we will be able to expand our business and, in doing so, offer more people around the world access to a reliable financial connection to loved ones.”

Transaction Highlights

The transaction is valued at approximately $880 million for all of MoneyGram’s common and preferred shares on a fully diluted basis and Ant Financial will assume or refinance MoneyGram’s outstanding debt. The per share consideration represents a premium of approximately 20 percent to MoneyGram’s volume weighted average share price over the prior three month period. The transaction has been approved by the MoneyGram Board of Directors. In addition, Thomas H. Lee Partners and certain MoneyGram executives who collectively own approximately 46 percent of the outstanding voting shares of MoneyGram have entered into agreements with MoneyGram to vote in favor of the transaction. The transaction is subject to the approval of MoneyGram stockholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2017.

Upon completion of the transaction, MoneyGram will retain the MoneyGram brand name and management team. Alex Holmes will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer of MoneyGram and work with Douglas Feagin, Senior Vice President of Ant Financial, and Souheil Badran, General Manager for North America, from Ant Financial to drive the integration between the two organizations. MoneyGram will remain headquartered in Dallas and is expected to maintain and grow its U.S.-based workforce.

Ant Financial’s MoneyGram Deal Is Clean

Some important misunderstandings about Ant Financial and its proposed acquisition of MoneyGram.

Robert Pittenger and Chris Smith’s “Check China’s Financial Investments in the U.S.” (op-ed, Feb. 22) includes some important misunderstandings about Ant Financial and its proposed acquisition of MoneyGram.

Ant Financial’s mission is to provide access to payments and financial services around the world for individuals and small businesses that are underserved by traditional financial institutions. We follow two strategies outside of China: help Chinese tourists traveling abroad to buy goods and services in local markets, including the U.S., and cultivate local partnerships to facilitate access to mobile-based financial services.

Ant Financial is a private sector company and while a handful of Chinese state-owned or -affiliated funds own non-controlling minority stakes, they do not participate in company management. Nor do they have board representation or any special rights. Around the world, Ant Financial works closely with regulators to ensure compliance in the areas of anti-money laundering, data protection, information security and consumer privacy.

The proposed combination of Ant Financial and MoneyGram was driven by strong commercial considerations as well as compatible business missions. We believe that the proposed combination would create the potential for a large number of U.S.-based job opportunities.

MoneyGram will continue to be headquartered in Dallas and run by its current U.S. based management team after the deal closes. Ant Financial will continue to invest in MoneyGram’s systems and compliance programs. MoneyGram and Ant Financial will voluntarily and jointly submit the transaction for a full national security review by CFIUS, and we look forward to cooperating with the Committee. We do not believe this transaction raises any national security issues for the U.S.

Both MoneyGram and Ant Financial believe that financial services should be simple, low-cost and accessible. Together, we will work to provide people around the world with convenient and accessible financial services.

Ant Financial Publishes Open Letter to the MoneyGram Community

HANGZHOU, China, April 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Ant Financial Services Group today issued the following letter to the MoneyGram (NASDAQ: MGI) community as it relates to Ant Financial’s agreement to merge with MoneyGram.

Dear MoneyGram Employees, Agents, Customers and Partners:

Earlier this year, Ant Financial and MoneyGram together announced plans to join forces. As a leading digital payments company, Ant Financial’s users are global and increasingly looking to transfer money around the world – which is what MoneyGram does best. We want to take a moment to tell you why we are thrilled to pursue our shared vision of global financial inclusion.

We value your team. MoneyGram’s management team and employees are the backbone of the organization. We want to work with you, invest in your business and technology and create even more career growth opportunities for MoneyGram employees in the U.S. and around the world.

We value your customers. Following the transaction, customers will continue to access the same quick, reliable and affordable remittance services they’ve come to know and trust. By connecting the Ant Financial and MoneyGram ecosystems, we envision an enhanced financial services platform that puts the customer first, no matter where they are in the world.

We value your agents and partners. Once we merge, MoneyGram’s agents and partners will have access to new solutions as we enhance our offerings to meet the needs of markets around the world. In the years to come, we’ll look to expand beyond remittance, enabling you to better serve your customers.

We value the trust customers place in MoneyGram. With over 650 million users worldwide, earning the trust of our users is the single most important thing we do at Ant Financial. So, protecting user data and information is of paramount importance to us. Any data collected on MoneyGram users in the U.S. will continue to reside on the same ironclad U.S.-based servers that meet the high security standards your customers trust today. We also plan to further invest in MoneyGram’s global compliance and anti-money laundering programs.

If you need an example of our partnerships in the U.S., look no further than Kansas City-based EyeVerify. Since acquiring them last year, we have made significant investments in the business, nearly doubled its workforce in the U.S. and helped grow this American start-up into a stronger company. We intend to do the same with MoneyGram – and we are excited to help MoneyGram expand its business globally for the digital future of the remittance industry.

We truly appreciate all you have done to make MoneyGram what it is today. As we make progress toward closing, our commitment to completing this agreed merger is unwavering. We look forward to welcoming you to the Ant Financial team by the end of the year.

Sincerely,

Doug Feagin

President, Ant Financial International

Setting the Record Straight on Euronet and its Hostile Proposal for MoneyGram

NEW YORK, April 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Doug Feagin, President of Ant Financial International, issued the following statement:

In the four weeks since launching a hostile bid to break up Ant Financial’s agreed-upon merger with MoneyGram (NASDAQ:MGI), Euronet (NASDAQ: EEFT) has conducted broad-based political attacks in Washington against Ant Financial Services Group (“Ant Financial”) and the integrity of MoneyGram’s business and data security practices in an attempt to stop a compelling transaction involving a core competitor.

Euronet has sought to create phantom national security arguments and encouraged political interference in a commercial transaction. A closer examination of Euronet’s self-serving claims demonstrates that its hostile bid for MoneyGram does nothing to advance American interests.

• There is a reason the company is named “Euronet” – its operations are far from being American; rather they are primarily in Eastern Europe where the company was founded and is still heavily concentrated. Over 85% of its assets are outside of the U.S.¹

• At its U.S. headquarters, it has just 150 employees according to the Kansas City Business Journal.²

• Nearly all of Euronet’s servers and data centers where its customer information resides are located outside of the U.S., according to public filings. Euronet has just two data facilities in the U.S.³

• Euronet was recently fined millions of dollars by regulators for a massive data breach that exposed more than 2 million credit card accounts, which raises real questions about its data security.⁴

• Euronet derives only 28% of its revenue in the U.S. and pays virtually no tax in the U.S., according to its annual report to shareholders. Last year, Euronet paid zero U.S. tax and over the last decade only 4% of all taxes paid were paid in the U.S. Further, Euronet has disclosed it has been penalized by tax authorities for underpaying taxes.⁵

• In March of this year, Euronet announced it has no intention to bring its profits to the U.S. where it would have to pay taxes.⁶

• Euronet has told investors it plans to cut $60 million in costs if it acquires MoneyGram, which would inevitably impact U.S. facilities and employment, leading to significant U.S. job cuts.⁷

⁶  Euronet Form 10-K filed March 1, 2017 (p 98)

⁷  Euronet Press Release issued March 14, 2017

• Euronet’s acquisition of MoneyGram would reduce competition by consolidating the industry from three U.S. players to two. Ant Financial’s acquisition of MoneyGram will preserve three U.S. players and through Ant Financial’s significant investment and expansion plans, enhance competition, which will benefit U.S. consumers.⁸

Following its acquisition by Ant Financial, MoneyGram will continue to independently operate all its data systems and Ant Financial will not have access to any U.S. customer data. Additionally, the entire Texas-based MoneyGram management team and all of its employees in the U.S., including the data security team, will remain in place at MoneyGram. Ant Financial intends to invest significant additional money and resources in MoneyGram, including expenditures to maintain the highest standards of data security and user privacy. This capital and resources will also be used to grow MoneyGram’s U.S. workforce and provide its employees with more growth opportunities. As part of Ant Financial, MoneyGram will continue to pay U.S. federal and state taxes.

Ant Financial and MoneyGram share a core belief that financial services and payments should be accessible to the underserved and unbanked and should be low cost and easy to use. We look forward to closing our transaction and fulfilling this shared mission with our partners at MoneyGram.

MoneyGram and Ant Financial Enter Into Amended Merger Agreement

Agreement Increases Offer Price for MoneyGram Stockholders to $18.00 Per Share

DALLAS and NEW YORK, April 16, 2017 – MoneyGram (NASDAQ: MGI) and Ant Financial Services Group today announced that the companies have entered into an amendment to the definitive agreement under which MoneyGram will merge with Ant Financial (the “Amended Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the amendment, Ant Financial increased the offer price to acquire all of the outstanding shares of MoneyGram from $13.25 per share to $18.00 per share in cash. The MoneyGram board of directors has unanimously approved the Amended Merger Agreement.

The offer price of $18.00 per share provides approximately $320 million in additional cash consideration to MoneyGram stockholders from the prior agreement. The per share consideration represents a premium of approximately 64 percent to MoneyGram’s volume weighted average share price over the prior three month period ended January 25, 2017, the day prior to the original transaction announced with Ant Financial. The transaction is valued at approximately $1,204 million for all of MoneyGram’s common and preferred shares on a fully diluted basis. Ant Financial will assume or refinance MoneyGram’s outstanding debt.

Pamela Patsley, Executive Chairman of MoneyGram, said, “Throughout this process, our board of directors has remained laser-focused on maximizing value for MoneyGram stockholders, while taking into account price, the ability to complete a transaction and other important considerations. We are pleased to offer even more value to our stockholders through the amendment of our merger agreement with Ant Financial. We continue to be excited about the transaction, which we are confident will provide substantial benefits to all of our stakeholders, including stockholders, customers, agents and employees.”

Alex Holmes, Chief Executive Officer of MoneyGram, added, “As I have stated previously, we believe this transaction will significantly benefit consumers throughout the world who depend on innovative and reliable financial connections to friends and family. We share Ant Financial’s commitment to successfully completing the transaction, which will allow us to grow our business, making money transfers easier for customers and providing a wider selection of services for the agents who serve them around the world.””

Doug Feagin, President of Ant Financial International, said, “We look forward to joining forces with MoneyGram, which will add valuable cross-border remittance capabilities to the Ant Financial ecosystem, serving our more than 630 million users globally. Over the past few months, we have enjoyed working closely with the MoneyGram team and remain committed to our plans to invest further in the MoneyGram business. We plan to grow the U.S.-based team and create even greater opportunities for the MoneyGram community as we pursue our shared vision of global inclusive finance in an increasingly digital era.”

Mr. Feagin continued, “We are fully committed to maintaining the MoneyGram brand that has earned the trust of millions of customers. As part of Ant Financial, MoneyGram will have access to resources to further enhance its technology, systems and anti-money laundering and compliance programs.”

Following the completion of the transaction, MoneyGram will operate as an independent subsidiary of Ant Financial and retain its brand, management team, IT infrastructure and headquarters in Dallas, Texas. All of MoneyGram’s current procedures and protections related to data security and personally identifiable information will remain intact.

MoneyGram and Ant Financial have already made significant progress towards obtaining the regulatory approvals necessary to complete the transaction, including obtaining antitrust clearance in the United States and filing for certain state licensing approvals. The transaction is subject to the approval of MoneyGram stockholders, obtaining remaining regulatory approvals, including the clearance of the transaction by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, and other customary closing conditions. The transaction continues to be expected to close in the second half of 2017. The transaction is not subject to any financing conditions.

MoneyGram stockholders of record as of April 7, 2017 will be asked to vote on the Amended Merger Agreement at a special meeting of the stockholders of MoneyGram scheduled for May 16, 2017. Thomas H. Lee Partners and certain MoneyGram executives who collectively own approximately 46 percent of the outstanding voting shares of MoneyGram previously entered into agreements with MoneyGram to vote in favor of the transaction, which agreements remain in effect following entry into the Amended Merger Agreement. The MoneyGram board of directors recommends that MoneyGram stockholders vote “for” the Amended Merger Agreement at the special meeting.

On April 14, 2017, MoneyGram received a binding offer from Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (“Euronet”) (NASDAQ: EEFT) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of MoneyGram Common Stock and Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis) for $15.20 per share in cash. Upon receipt of Ant Financial’s increased offer on April 15, 2017, MoneyGram’s board of directors, after careful review and consideration in consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, compared the relative merits of the increased offer reflected in the Amended Merger Agreement with Ant Financial to the binding offer from Euronet and unanimously determined that the Euronet proposal was not superior to the Amended Merger Agreement and that entering into the Amended Merger Agreement was in the best interests of MoneyGram stockholders.

Citi is serving as financial advisor to Ant Financial and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is serving as its legal advisor. BofA Merrill Lynch is serving as financial advisor to MoneyGram and Vinson & Elkins LLP is serving as its legal advisor.
