Explanatory Note

     This Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend and restate the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 22, 2010 by MoneyGram International, Inc. (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K inadvertently included an incorrect version of Exhibit 10.03. This Form 8-K/A amends and restates the Original Form 8-K to attach the correct version of Exhibit 10.03, which replaces Exhibit 10.03 to the Original Form 8-K. In addition, because the Original Form 8-K was inadvertently submitted under Item 1.01 rather than Item 5.02(e), we are properly submitting this filing under the Item 5.02(e) designation.
