Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) On March 21, 2013, Ann Mather, a current member of the board of directors of MoneyGram International, Inc. (the “Company”), indicated her intention not to stand for re-election at the Company’s upcoming annual meeting of stockholders. Ms. Mather informed the Company that her decision is due to the time and travel requirements related to continued service on the Company’s board of directors. Ms. Mather further informed the Company that her decision not to stand for re-election is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. The Company’s Human Resources and Nominating Committee (“HRNC”) has engaged an outside search firm to assist in selecting a new member to join the board of directors, who would also serve on the Company’s Audit Committee. The HRNC intends to identify such new board candidate as soon as practicable. Regardless of timing of filling this vacancy, the Audit Committee will at all times comprise a minimum of three independent members, including a “financial expert” and members who are “financially literate,” as required by the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. Ms. Mather’s term as director will continue until the Company’s 2013 annual meeting of stockholders.
