Dollar Financial Corp. Launches $350 Million Private Offering of Senior Notes

Dollar Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: DLLR), a leading international diversified financial services company primarily serving unbanked and under-banked consumers for nearly 30 years, today announced that, subject to market and other conditions, on December 2, 2009, its indirect wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, National Money Mart Company, intends to offer $350 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “Notes”) in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by Dollar Financial Corp. and certain of its current and future direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. Dollar Financial Corp. intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to finance the previously announced acquisition by its wholly owned subsidiary, Dollar Financial Group, Inc., of Military Financial Services, LLC, and to prepay $100 million of its existing term loans pursuant to a proposed amendment and extension of its existing credit agreement. The remainder of the proceeds will be utilized for general corporate purposes, which could include funding additional growth opportunities. The Company expects to consummate the offering in December 2009.

The Notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the Securities Act.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase the Notes and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering circular.
