Security and Issuer This Statement on Schedule 13D (this "Schedule 13D") relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of MoneyGram International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Issuer" or "Company"). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is 1550 Utica Avenue South, Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN 55416. The Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund (each as defined below in Item 2) currently hold Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series B Stock") of the Issuer. Each share of Series B Stock is convertible at any time after the Voting Date (as defined below in Item 4), and with certain restrictions before the Voting Date, into shares of Common Stock, with the precise number determined by a formula set forth in the Series B Stock Certificate of Designations Preferences and Rights (the "Series B Certificate"), and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 7.07, and therefore the Reporting Persons (as defined in Item 2 below) may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock into which this Series B Stock is convertible. The THL Parties (as defined in Item 2 below) currently hold Series B Stock. Goldman Sachs (as defined in Item 2 below) currently holds Series B-1 Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series B-1 Stock"). Each share of Series B-1 Stock is convertible at any time into a certain number of shares of Series D Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series D Stock"), a Common Stock equivalent non-voting stock, with the precise number determined by a formula in the Series B-1 Stock Certificate of Designations Preferences and Rights (the "Series B-1 Certificate", together with the Series B Certificate, the "Certificates"), and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 7.08. The Series D Stock is convertible, subject to certain limitations, set forth in the Certificate of Designations Preferences and Rights (the "Series D Certificate"), and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 7.09, into Common Stock. Each share of Series B-1 Stock is convertible into one share of Series B Stock by any holder other than Goldman Sachs and their affiliates. The holders of Series B Stock are entitled, after the Voting Date (as defined below in Item 4), to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Stock and the Series B-1 Stock can be converted, as described above. Consequently, if the Reporting Persons are determined to be members of a "group" with the THL Parties or Goldman Sachs as discussed in Item 2 below, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by the THL Parties or Goldman Sachs.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration On March 28, 2008, the Silver Point Fund purchased 2,500 shares of Series B Stock and the Silver Point Offshore Fund purchased 7,500 shares of Series B Stock from certain of the THL Funds for a purchase price of $1,000 per share, as described in the Letter Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2008, by and among the THL Parties, the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund (the "Silver Point Letter Agreement") and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 7.02. Working capital of the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund was used to purchase the shares of Series B Stock referenced in this report. Each of the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund executed joinders to the Shareholders Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (each as described below in Item 6) which joinders are incorporated by reference at Exhibits 7.05 and 7.06. Hereinafter, the THL Funds, the THL Coinvest Entities, the GS Investors, the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund may be referred to as the "Investors," unless the context otherwise requires. See Item 4 below regarding the acquisition of the Series B Stock and the Series B-1 Stock by the THL Funds, the THL Coinvest Entities and the GS Investors. Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction The Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund acquired from certain of the THL Funds all of the securities referenced in this report, and continue to hold such securities, solely for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business. The Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund have granted the THL Funds certain rights as to the voting and disposition of the securities acquired by them referenced in this report, as described in Item 5 and 6 below. -------------------- ------------------- CUSIP No. 60935Y109 13D Page 10 of 19 Pages -------------------- ------------------- On March 17, 2008, the Issuer, the THL Funds and the GS Investors entered into an amended and restated Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on March 25, 2008 (the "Closing"), the THL Funds and the GS Investors purchased, in the aggregate, 495,000 shares of Series B Stock and 265,000 shares of Series B-1 Stock, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $760,000,000 (the "Transaction"), which shares are convertible into approximately 78.8% of the common equity of the Company at an initial conversion price of $2.50 per share, as described below. On March 28, 2008, the Silver Point Fund the Silver Point Offshore Fund purchased 10,000 shares of Series B Stock from certain of the THL Funds at a purchase price of $1,000 per share. Based on information provided by the THL Parties, on March 31, 2008, the THL Coinvest Entities purchased in aggregate 5,428.962 shares of Series B Stock from Parallel Fund and DT Fund at a purchase price of $1,000 per share. The shares of Series B-1 Stock held by the GS Investors are convertible into shares of Series D Stock (a common equivalent stock which is, subject to certain limitations, convertible into Common Stock), and the shares of Series B Stock held by the THL Parties, the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund are convertible at any time after the Voting Date, and subject to certain restrictions prior to the Voting Date, into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $2.50 (subject to adjustment), giving the Investors and GS Group an initial equity interest convertible into approximately 78.8% of the common equity of the Company. Dividends payable on Series B Stock and Series B-1 Stock are expected to be accrued and not be paid in cash for at least five years. Because the conversion ratio for the shares in the Certificates provides for a formula which incorporates the amount of unpaid dividends, the accrual of such unpaid dividends will increase the ownership interest of the Investors and GS Group and dilute the interests of the common stockholders. Over a five year period, assuming the outstanding Common Stock remains 82,598,034, it is expected that this ownership interest will increase to approximately 87%. The Series B Stock will initially have voting rights equivalent to 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully converted basis. Upon receipt of all regulatory approvals, or upon receipt of notification from the THL Parties on or after June 15, 2008, the holders of the Series B Stock would attain full voting rights. As stated in the Series B Certificate and Series B-1 Certificate, until the Voting Date (which date is the earlier of (i) the day when all applicable state regulatory approvals necessary for the THL Parties to have voting rights with respect to all of the Series B Stock, and (ii) on or after June 15, 2008, upon the request of the THL Parties, provided, however, that if a vote (or action by written consent) of the stockholders of the Company on any matter is required by law to occur prior to the earlier of such dates, then the Voting Date shall occur no later than immediately prior to such record date)) and also at such time the Company fails to pay the redemption price for the Series B Stock or Series B-1 Stock that the holders have requested be redeemed pursuant to the terms of the Certificates, the Company is prohibited from taking certain actions without approval of the holders of Series B Stock. The restrictions in the Series B Certificate pertain to decisions by the Company regarding bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution, the Board, executive officers, dividends on or buy-backs of junior shares or the Common Stock, taking on debt or making loans, investments, acquisitions or dispositions, and the annual budget. The Series B-1 Stock held by Goldman Sachs or its affiliates is non-voting except for the right of Goldman Investors to vote on specific actions described in the Series B-1 Certificate. The holders of the Series B Stock will vote as a class with the Common Stock and will have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable if all the outstanding shares of Series B Stock were converted plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable if all outstanding shares of Series B-1 Stock were converted into Series B Stock and subsequently converted into Common Stock. While held by Goldman Sachs or its affiliates, the Series B-1 Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into a certain number of shares of Series D Stock, a non-voting Common Stock-equivalent. The shares of Series B-1 Stock are convertible into an equal number of shares of Series B Stock by any holder other than Goldman Sachs and its affiliates. -------------------- ------------------- CUSIP No. 60935Y109 13D Page 11 of 19 Pages -------------------- ------------------- As of the Closing, the Investors (other than the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund) appointed two members and two non-voting observers to the Company's Board and the size of the Board was reduced to six members, of which three members are independent. Upon the earlier of (x) written notification by the THL Funds, in the THL Funds' sole discretion, to the Company and (y) the Voting Date, the Investors (other than the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund) shall lose their right to have the Board observers attend meetings of the Board (except that in certain circumstances, the GS Investors will have the right to appoint at least one non-voting Board observer) and instead shall be entitled to nominate and cause the Company to appoint such additional Board representatives to the Board as shall provide such Investors with that number of directors as is proportionate to such Investors' Common Stock ownership, calculated on a fully as-converted basis (assuming all shares of Series B-1 Stock were converted into Series B Stock and all Series B Stock was converted into Common Stock). The Purchase Agreement provides that as promptly as practicable following the Closing, the Company will hold a meeting of its stockholders to seek approval of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company (the "Charter"), which will provide that as long as the Investors (other than the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund) shall have a right to designate Board Representatives following the Voting Date, the GS Investors shall have the right to designate one Board Representative (who shall have one vote), and the THL Funds (or their permitted successors or assigns) shall have the right to designate two to four Board Representatives, which Board Representatives shall be authorized to vote (with each such THL Board Representative having equal votes) on all matters occasioning action by the Board, such number of votes equal to the number of directors that such Investors would be entitled to designate on the as-converted basis mentioned above, minus the one vote of the Board Representative designated by the GS Investors. The amended Charter must also provide that each member of the Board shall be elected annually for a one year term, and shall increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 1,300,000,000 shares. The Purchase Agreement provides that following the Closing, for so long as shareholders who are unaffiliated with the Investors (other than the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund) beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, there shall be at least three independent directors serving on the Board. The Series B Stock and the Series B-1 Stock will pay a cash dividend of 10% or at the Company's option, it may accrue dividends at a rate of 12.5% in lieu of paying a cash dividend. Dividends may be accrued for up to five years from the date of the Transaction. After five years, if the Company is unable to pay the dividends in cash, dividends will accrue at a rate of 15%. At this time, the Company expects that dividends will be accrued and not paid in cash for at least five years. The Series B Stock participates in dividends with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis. The Series B Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Company if, after five years from the date of the Transaction, the Common Stock trades above $15.00 per share, subject to adjustment, for a period of thirty consecutive trading days. The Series B Stock will be redeemable at the option of the Investors after ten years and upon a change in control. Except as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons currently have no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any transaction, event or action enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D promulgated under the Act. The description of the Purchase Agreement in this Schedule 13D does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 7.11. Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right, in light of its ongoing evaluation of the Issuer's financial condition, business, operations and prospects, the market price of the Common Stock, conditions in the -------------------- ------------------- CUSIP No. 60935Y109 13D Page 12 of 19 Pages -------------------- ------------------- securities markets generally, general economic and industry conditions, its business objectives and other relevant factors, to change its plans and intentions at any time, as it deems appropriate. In particular, any one or more of the Reporting Persons (and their respective affiliates) reserves the right, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Series B Certificate and any applicable law, to (i) purchase additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, (ii) sell or transfer shares of the Series B Stock or Common Stock or other securities beneficially owned by them from time to time in public or private transactions, (iii) cause any of the Reporting Persons to distribute in kind to their respective partners or members, as the case may be, shares of Series B Stock or Common Stock or other securities owned by such entities, (iv) enter into privately negotiated derivative transactions with institutional counterparties to hedge the market risk of some or all of their positions in the shares of Common Stock, Series B Stock or other securities and (v) consider participating in a business combination transaction that would result in an acquisition of all of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. (a) The response to Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference. As of March 28, 2008, Silver Point, Management and Messrs. Mule and O'Shea may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock, consisting of 10,000 shares of Series B Stock acquired by the Silver Point Fund and the Silver Point Offshore Fund, which as of March 25, 2008, subject to certain limitations, are convertible into 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock, representing in the aggregate approximately 1.03% of the outstanding Common Stock. The THL Parties own the other 485,000 shares (97.97%) of Series B Stock, which as of March 25, 2008, subject to certain limitations, are convertible into 194,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of March 25, 2008, THL may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 198,000,000 shares of Common Stock, representing in the aggregate approximately 50.8% of the outstanding Common Stock.
