RISK FACTORS Investing in shares of our common stock involves a risk of loss. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in "Risk Factors" under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our periodic filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and subsequent periodic filings containing updated disclosures of such factors, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement and the other information that we have incorporated by reference. Any of these risks, as well as other risks and uncertainties, could harm our business and financial results and cause the value of our securities to decline, which in turn could cause you to lose all or a part of your investment. These risks are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business. USE OF PROCEEDS We will receive no proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholder. We will pay certain expenses related to the registration of the shares of common stock. THE SELLING STOCKHOLDER We agreed to file this registration statement with the SEC for the benefit of the selling stockholder. The shares are being registered to permit public trading of the shares (without any restriction as to holding period or volume of such sales). The selling stockholder, or his permitted transferees or other successors in interest, may offer the shares for resale from time to time. On July 6, 2004, we, through our subsidiary Payspot, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Payspot"), acquired 100% of the shares of Call Processing, Inc., a Texas corporation ("CPI") for $5.7 million (the "Initial Payment") and certain additional consideration described below, from Charles Stimson, the sole shareholder of CPI. The Initial Payment was paid by Payspot through the issuance of 251,588 shares of common stock of Euronet, par value $0.02 per share (the "Euronet Stock"), valued at $22.66 per share, the average closing price for the 20 trading days prior to the closing date. The transaction was completed pursuant to a share purchase agreement between Payspot and Mr. Stimson (the "CPI Purchase Agreement"). On the closing date, Payspot delivered 125,794 shares of Euronet Stock (the "First Stock Payment") to Mr. Stimson as part of the Initial Payment and retained 125,794 shares in escrow to satisfy any indemnification claims against Mr. Stimson under the CPI Purchase Agreement (the "Escrow Shares"). The Escrow Shares will be released as follows: (i) on July 1, 2005 Payspot will release 65,104 shares from escrow, less the amount of any indemnification claims against Mr. Stimson under the CPI Purchase Agreement (the "Second Stock Payment"); and (ii) on June 30, 2006, Payspot will release 60,690 shares from escrow, less the amount of any indemnification claims against Mr. Stimson under the CPI Purchase Agreement (the "Third Stock Payment"). 2

Under the CPI Purchase Agreement, Payspot is required to pay to Mr. Stimson the amount, if any, by which the value of the Euronet Stock included in the First Stock Payment is lower on the date of registration of such shares (the "Registration Date") than on the closing date, which payment may be in cash or additional shares of Euronet Stock. Under the CPI Purchase Agreement, Payspot is also required to pay to Mr. Stimson the amount, if any, by which the value of the Euronet Stock included as part of the Second Stock Payment and Third Stock Payment is lower in value on the date such stock is released from escrow than on the closing date, which payments may be in cash or additional shares of Euronet Stock. In each case, the shares of Euronet Stock will be valued at the average closing price for the 20 trading days prior to the registration date or the applicable escrow release date, as the case may be. We have registered an additional 88,710 shares of Euronet Stock for issuance of additional shares relating to the First, Second and Third Stock Payments ("Stock Payment True-Up Shares"). This estimate is based upon the closing price of our common stock of $16.75 on August 3, 2004. Under the CPI Purchase Agreement, Payspot is required to pay to Mr. Stimson the amount, if any, by which the Net Current Assets (as defined in the CPI Purchase Agreement), exceed $0.01 as of the closing ("Net Asset Payment"). The Net Asset Payment is to be made through the issuance of additional shares of Euronet Stock valued at the average closing price for the 20 trading days prior to payment. Our current estimate of the amount of the Net Asset Payment is $697,568. We have registered an additional 41,646 shares of Euronet Stock ("Net Asset Payment Shares") for the Net Asset Payment based upon the closing price of our common stock of $16.75 as of August 3, 2004. The CPI Purchase Agreement requires Payspot to make an earn-out payment (the "Earn-out Payment") to Mr. Stimson if the gross profit of CPI for the third and fourth calendar quarters of 2004 (the "Actual Gross Profit") exceeds the gross profit of CPI for the first and second quarters of 2004 (the "Baseline Gross Profit"). The amount of the Earn-out Payment will be eight times the amount by which the Actual Gross Profit exceeds the Baseline Gross Profit. The Earn-out Payment is to be made in shares of Euronet Stock that will be valued based upon the average stock price for the 20 trading days prior to the date of the Earn-out Payment. Based upon current projections of the future performance of the acquired business, as to which we can provide no assurance, we estimate that the Earn Out Payment will be approximately $1.6 million, and that the number of shares of our common stock issuable in payment of the Earn Out Payment will be approximately 95,522 shares (the "Earn Out Shares"), based upon a per share price of $16.75, which was the closing price of our common stock as of August 3, 2004 Mr. Stimson did not have a material relationship with us during the three years prior to our acquisition of shares of CPI on July 6, 2004. Pursuant to the CPI Purchase Agreement, Mr. Stimson will continue to serve as President of CPI. We agreed to file this registration statement with the SEC for the benefit of Mr. Stimson and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file required amendments and supplements to keep it current and effective until the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the closing of the initial purchase transaction on July 9, 2004, (ii) the date that Mr. Stimson may sell his shares without restriction by the volume limitations of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (iii) the date that all of the shares issued to Mr. Stimson subject to this prospectus have been sold pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The table below shows the number of shares owned by Mr. Stimson based upon information he has provided to us as of July 30, 2004. These numbers do not reflect the impact of any adjustments or limitations described in the foregoing paragraphs. We cannot estimate the number of shares Mr. Stimson will hold after completion of this offering because he may sell all or a portion of the shares and there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the number of shares to be sold by him. We have assumed for purposes of this table that none of the shares offered by this prospectus will be held by Mr. Stimson after the completion of this offering. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of Additional Shares of Common Stock That Number of Number of May Be Number of Shares of Shares of Issued or Shares of Common Stock Common Stock Transferred Common Stock Owned Upon Name of Owned Prior to the Offered Completion Selling to this Selling Under this of the Stockholder Offering Stockholder Prospectus Offering - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Stimson 125,794 (1) 351,672(2) 477,466 -0- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3

(1) All such shares were issued to Mr. Stimson on July 9, 2004 as part of the purchase price for all of the shares in CPI acquired by us. (2) The shares set forth include (a) 125,794 shares of our common stock representing the Escrow Shares, (b) 88,710 shares of our common stock representing the Stock Payment True-Up Shares, based upon current estimates, (c) 41,646 shares of our common stock representing the Net Asset Payment Shares, based upon current estimates, and (d) 95,522 shares of our common stock representing the Earn Out Shares, based upon current estimates. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The shares offered by this prospectus may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholder or his permitted transferees (including donees) or other successors in interest, directly to one or more purchasers (including pledgees) or through brokers, dealers or underwriters who may act solely as agents or who may acquire shares as principals and will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The shares may be sold in one or more transactions at: o fixed prices, o prevailing market prices at the time of sale, o prices related to the prevailing market prices, o varying prices determined at the time of sale, or o otherwise negotiated prices. The shares may be sold by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods, in addition to any other method permitted under this prospectus, to the extent permitted by applicable law: o a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the offered securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus, o on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including the Nasdaq National Market, o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers, o privately negotiated transactions, o by pledge to secure debts or other obligations, o put or call transactions, o to cover hedging transactions, or o underwritten offerings. If required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented on a continual basis to describe a specific plan of distribution. In making sales, broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales. 4

In connection with the sale of shares, the selling stockholder may, subject to the terms of his agreements with us and applicable law, (i) enter into transactions with brokers, dealers or others, who in turn may engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume, (ii) sell short or deliver shares to close out positions or (iii) loan shares to brokers, dealers or others that may in turn sell such shares. The selling stockholder may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to the broker-dealer of the shares. The broker-dealer or other financial institution may then resell or transfer these shares through this prospectus. The selling stockholder may also loan or pledge his shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution. The broker-dealer or other financial institution may sell the shares which are loaned or pursuant to a right to rehypothecate while pledged or, upon a default, the broker-dealer or other financial institution may sell the pledged shares by use of this prospectus. The broker, dealer or other financial institution may use shares pledged by the selling stockholder or borrowed from the selling stockholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowing of shares, and may use securities received from the selling stockholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowing of shares. Some or all of the shares offered in this prospectus may also be sold to or through an underwriter or underwriters. Any shares sold in that manner will be acquired by the underwriters for their own accounts and may be resold at different times in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. These shares may be offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or may be offered to the public directly by one or more underwriters. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or disallowed to be paid to dealers, in connection with any sales to or through an underwriter, may be changed at different times. We have been advised by the selling stockholder that he has not, as of the date of this prospectus, entered into any arrangement with any agent, broker or dealer for the sale of the shares. The selling stockholder may pay usual and customary or specifically negotiated underwriting discounts and concessions or brokerage fees or commissions in connection with his sales. The selling stockholder has agreed not to use the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part for purposes of an underwritten offering without our consent. The selling stockholder and any dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any profit on the sale of shares by them and any commissions received by any such dealers or agents might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Because the selling stockholder may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the selling stockholder will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Neither the delivery of any prospectus, or any prospectus supplement, nor any other action taken by the selling stockholder or any purchaser relating to the purchase or sale of shares under this prospectus shall be treated as an admission that any of them is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the sale of any shares. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholder and have informed him of the need for delivery of copies of this prospectus to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of the shares offered hereby. To the extent required by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, a prospectus supplement or amendment will be filed and disclose the specific number of shares of common stock to be sold, the name of the selling stockholder, the purchase price, the public offering price, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed with respect to a particular offering and other facts material to the transaction. We have agreed to bear certain expenses of registration of the common stock under federal and state securities laws and of any offering and sale hereunder but not certain other expenses, such as discounts and commissions of underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents attributable to the sale of the shares, and fees and disbursements of any counsel, advisors or experts retained by or on behalf of any selling stockholder. The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholder from the sale of the shares will be the purchase price of the common stock sold, less the aggregate agents' commissions, if any, and other expenses of issuance and distribution not borne by us. 5

We may suspend the use of this prospectus and any supplements hereto upon any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the registration statement or prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the registration statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The shares may be sold through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. Any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be sold under that rule rather than pursuant to this prospectus. We cannot assure you that the selling stockholder will sell any or all of the common stock offered hereunder.
