Company. Mr. Brown received a 90% equity interest in Bank 24 in consideration
for a contribution of $9,000 and Mr. Henry received a 10% interest in
consideration of a contribution of $1,000.

Original Joint Venture Agreement. On July 19, 1994 a Joint Venture Agreement
(the "Original JVA") was entered into by Mr. Brown and DST Systems, Inc.,
Euroventures (Hungary) B.V. ("Euroventures"), Mark Callegari, Larry Maddox and
Lawrence Schwartz. The Original JVA provided that the parties to the Original
JVA would contribute capital to Bank 24 in exchange for ownership interests in
Bank 24 in the following amounts:
CAPITAL PERCENTAGE
------------ ----------
SHAREHOLDER CONTRIBUTION OWNERSHIP
- ------------------------ ------------ ----------
Michael Brown......... $ 990,000 42.74%
DST Systems, Inc...... $1,000,000 34.72%
Euroventures.......... $ 300,000 10.42%
Mark Callegari........ $ 200,000 6.93%
Lawrence Schwartz..... $ 50,000 1.74%
Larry Maddox.......... $ 100,000 3.74%
Pursuant to the Original JVA, Mr. Henry transferred his 10% interest in Bank
24 to Mr. Brown for a purchase price equal to $1,000. At the time of the
Original JVA, Mr. Brown was granted an additional 8% equity interest in Bank 24
at no cost.
Capital Increase and Amendment of Original JVA. On February 20, 1995, the
Original JVA was amended by an Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement (the
"Amended JVA") under which a new shareholder, the Hungarian-American Enterprise
Fund ("HAEF"), and Euroventures agreed to purchase from a third party 100% of
the equity interests in SatComNet Kft., which is now a subsidiary of the Company
("SatComNet"). HAEF acquired an 89% interest in SatComNet for a purchase price
of $439,000 and Euroventures purchased an 11% interest in SatComNet for $52,000.
Under the Amended JVA, HAEF also agreed to contribute $611,000 to Bank 24,
Euroventures agreed to contribute $148,000 and a new shareholder, Hi-Care Trade
and Development Company ("Hi-Care") agreed to contribute $197,000.
The shareholders of SatComNet and Bank 24 exchanged their interests held in
such companies to create identical ownership of the two companies, as follows:
PERCENTAGE
----------
SHAREHOLDER OWNERSHIP
- ---------------------- ----------
Michael Brown....... 30.29%
DST Systems, Inc.... 22.49%
HAEF................ 23.61%
Euroventures........ 11.24%
Hi-Care............. 4.50%
Mark Callegari...... 4.50%
Larry Maddox........ 2.25%
Lawrence Schwartz... 1.12%
--------

Bank 24 was then transformed into an "Rt.", a different form of Hungarian
corporate entity.
Under the Amended JVA, Mr. Henry was granted an option to purchase up to 6% of
the shares of each of Bank 24 and SatComNet for a total purchase price of
$246,000.

Hi-Care entered into a lease with Bank 24 effective as of September 10, 1994
for the Company's current offices in Budapest. The entire amount contributed to
the capital of Bank 24 by Hi-Care under the Amended JVA was immediately paid out
to Hi-Care as a payment under such lease.
Loans from Mr. Michael J. Brown. Mr. Brown established the Company's Polish
operating subsidiary, Bankomat 24/Euronet Sp. z o.o. ("Bankomat"), on August
8, 1995. Upon its formation, Mr. Brown contributed $2,000 to Bankomat and was
the sole interest holder of Bankomat. A capital increase in the amount of
$61,000 was made on December 7, 1995. On August 31, 1995, Mr. Brown agreed to
make revolving loans in the amount $125,000 to Bankomat at a rate of interest of

were repaid in 1997 by application of the proceeds of the Company's 1997 equity
offering.
Formation of Euronet Holding N.V. On February 15, 1996 the shareholders in
Bank 24 and SatComNet and Hi-Care (the "Original Investors") terminated the
Amended JVA and entered into a shareholders' agreement dated February 15, 1996,
as amended October 14, 1996 (the "Shareholders' Agreement") reorganizing the
ownership of Bank 24, SatComNet and Bankomat. Under the Shareholders' Agreement,
the Original Investors contributed all of their shares and interests in Bank 24,
SatComNet and Bankomat to Euronet Holding N.V., which was established on March
27, 1996 as a holding company. In addition, four new shareholders made cash

Pursuant to the Shareholders' Agreement, Euronet Holding N.V. was entitled to
call a "standby round" of investment from DST Systems, Inc., Poland Partners
L.P., Hungarian Private Equity Fund and the Advent Private Equity Fund CELP of
up to $3,000,000 in the aggregate from such shareholders at a per share price of
$2.14 for one tranche and $10.00 per share for a second tranche subject to
certain conditions. The first tranche of this standby round was called on
November 26, 1996 and 466,669 Series B convertible preferred shares of Euronet
Holding N.V. were issued in exchange for $1 million. The Company's right to call
the remainder of the standby round commitment terminated on the termination of
the Shareholders' Agreement which occurred on March 7, 1997 in connection with
the equity offering.
In addition, the Shareholders' Agreement provided that Mr. Brown would be
reimbursed by the shareholders for up to $100,000 for expenses incurred from
December 1994 to May 1995, and by the Company for expenses incurred from June 1,
1995 to March 27, 1996 relating to the establishment of Bankomat. On October 11,
1996, Euronet Holding N.V. adopted a revision to its Articles of Association
effecting a ten for one stock split.
On October 14, 1996, the Shareholders' Agreement was amended (the "First
Amendment") and the Milestone Award arrangements were modified to provide for
two different types of grants:
(i) Milestone Awards of preferred shares of Euronet Holding N.V. in
exchange for payment of par value ($0.02), to all Original Investors except
Mr. Brown;
(ii) Options to purchase Common Shares and preferred stock of Euronet
Holding N.V. to Mr. Brown, and options to purchase preferred shares of
Euronet Holding N.V. to Mr. Henry, Mr. Depenbusch and certain other
employees of the group at a purchase price of $2.14 per share ("Milestone
Options"). The number of shares of Euronet Holding N.V. subject to these
option arrangements was increased as compared with the amounts that were to
be awarded under the Shareholder's Agreement to take into account the fact
that consideration was now to be paid for such shares. The following numbers
of Milestone Options were granted to directors and officers of the Company:
Michael Brown (1,149,890 of Common Shares and preferred stock of Euronet
Holding N.V.); Daniel Henry (599,340 preferred shares of Euronet Holding
N.V.); and Dennis Depenbusch (226,450 preferred shares of Euronet Holding
N.V.).
All Milestone Awards of Common Shares of Euronet Holding N.V. became effective
as of the closing of the 1997 equity offering and all Milestone Options became
vested upon the closing of the offering, with the exception of 49,819 Options to
certain key employees which will vest equally in March of 1998 and 1999. Such
options have an exercise price of $2.14 per share.
The Reorganization. In December 1996, the Company, shareholders and
optionholders of Euronet Holding N.V. entered into an Exchange Agreement
pursuant to which (i) 10,296,076 shares of Common Stock were to be issued to the
shareholders of Euronet Holding N.V. in exchange for all of the Common Shares of
Euronet Holding N.V., (ii) options to acquire 3,113,355 shares of Common Stock
were to be granted to the holders of options to acquire 3,113,355 Common Shares
of Euronet Holding N.V. in exchange for all of such options and (iii) awards
with respect to 800,520 shares of Common Stock were to be issued to the holders
of awards with respect to 800,520 preferred shares of Euronet Holding N.V. in
exchange for all such awards. The exchange became effective as of March 6, 1997,
the date of the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with the
Company's 1997 equity offering.
GE Capital Investment. On January 31, 1997, the Company signed a
subscription agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") with General Electric
Capital Corporation ("GE Capital") pursuant to which GE Capital agreed to
subscribe for preferred stock of Euronet Holding N.V. for an aggregate purchase
price of $3 million which entitled GE Capital to receive 710,507 shares of
Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Reorganization, resulting in
a per share purchase price of $4.22. Under a "claw back" option, the Company
retained the right to
-12-
repurchase up to 292,607 of such shares for nominal consideration in the event
of a public or private offering of the Company's Common Stock, if the Company
was attributed a valuation that is higher than that used for purposes of the
Subscription Agreement, including the 1997 equity offering. The conditions for
the exercise of this option were met and the Company exercised this option on
June 16, 1997. The Company repurchased all 292,607 shares from GE Capital for a
price of approximately $4,000. These shares are currently held in treasury.
The Subscription Agreement also included certain reciprocal rights of the
parties to act as preferred providers of services to each other in Poland,
Hungary, the Czech Republic, Germany and Austria. In particular, the Company is
a preferred provider of outsourced ATM services to certain banks affiliated with
GE Capital and GE Capital is a preferred provider of equipment financing and
satellite telecommunications to the Company.

public offering of its Common Shares. The following transactions occurred in
connection with the offering:

shares, including 795,000 shares which were purchased by the underwriters

ATM Purchase Option. On March 10, 1995, Bank 24 entered into a Master Rental
Agreement with HFT Corporation (''HFT'') pursuant to which HFT agreed to lease
ATM machines to Bank 24 pursuant to operating leases which are treated, for U.S.
GAAP purposes only, as capital leases. On the same date, HFT granted an option
to purchase the ATM machines which were the subject of this Master Rental
Agreement to Windham Technologies, a company controlled by Michael Brown and
Mark Callegari. On March 25, 1995, Windham Technologies executed a unilateral
undertaking (the ''Undertaking'') to sell such machines to Bank 24 for a
purchase price which was equal to the price paid by Windham, plus incidental
expenses. All ATMs operated by the Company are subject to this arrangement. The
Company intends to restructure these arrangements as capital leases under
Hungarian law and has recorded an accrual in its financial statements in this
respect.
Windham Technologies Inc. Windham Technologies Inc. (''Windham'') holds the
option to purchase certain ATMs at the end of the lease term. Windham is jointly
owned by two shareholders of Euronet Holding N.V. Windham
-13-
has signed an undertaking to contribute these assets to Euronet Holding N.V. at
the end of the lease at a bargain purchase price of $1 plus incidental expenses.
In addition, payments of $94,000, $425,000, $320,000 and $66,000 have been
made for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, for the period from
June 22, 1994 (inception) through December 31, 1994, respectively, to Windham.
These payments cover the services and related expenses of consultants seconded
by Windham to Euronet Holding N.V. These services include AS400 computer
expertise, bank marketing and management support.
Certain directors or officers and their affiliates have rights to require the
Company to file a registration statement covering the public sale by such
persons of the shares of Common Stock owned by them, and to pay all of the costs
and expenses associated therewith, other than underwriting discounts and fees.
