time to time.
You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone else to provide you
with different information. If anyone provides you with different or
inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. You should assume that the
information appearing in this prospectus, as well as the information we file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and incorporate by reference
in this prospectus, is accurate only as of the date of the documents containing
the information. In this prospectus, references to "Euronet", "we", "our" and
"us" refer to Euronet Worldwide, Inc.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference in this
prospectus, may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of
historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Examples of
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) projections of
revenues, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, capital expenditures, the
payment or non-payment of dividends, capital structure and other financial
items, (ii) statements of plans and objectives of our management or Board of
Directors, including plans or objectives relating to our products or services,
(iii) statements of future economic performance, and (iv) statements of
assumptions underlying the statements described in (i), (ii) and (iii).
Forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology, such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes,"
"seeks," "estimates" and variations of these words and similar expressions. Any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this
prospectus and, in particular, those factors described below. Except to fulfill
our obligations under the United States securities laws, we do not undertake to
update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after
the date on which it is made.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or
results, and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated in the
forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the
risks described in "Risk Factors" under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our periodic filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including, but not limited to, our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and
subsequent periodic filings containing updated disclosures of such factors.
You may obtain copies of these documents as described under "How to Obtain More
Information " and "Incorporation of Information Filed with the SEC." Other
factors not identified could also have such an effect.
We cannot give you any assurance that the forward-looking statements
included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus will prove to be
accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus, you should not regard the inclusion of this information as a
representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions
described in those statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved.

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 March 31, 2005 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.
Shareholders of ATX Software Limited. On May 27, 2004, we completed the
acquisition of 10% of the outstanding shares of ATX Software Limited ("ATX")
from the two shareholders of ATX, Paul van der Schueren and Ryad Boulanouar. The
purchase price for the shares was 2,000,000 Euros, payable in shares of our
common stock. We issued 62,795 shares of our common stock to each of Mr. van der
Schueren and Mr. Boulanouar in payment of the purchase price.
Under the agreements relating to the ATX transaction, we were granted
an option to purchase an additional 41% of the outstanding shares of ATX in the
aggregate from Mr. van der Schueren and Mr. Boulanouar. The purchase price for
the additional shares was 8,000,000 Euros, payable in cash or shares of our
common stock. On March 16, 2005, we exercised this option to purchase the
additional 41% of outstanding shares of ATX. We paid Mr. Boulanouar 4,000,000
Euros in cash (subject to certain hold backs) and issued 215,644 shares of our
common stock to Mr. van der Schueren in payment of the total purchase price. The
number of shares of common stock issuable in payment of the purchase price was
based upon on the average closing price of our common stock for the 60 calendar
days prior to February 28, 2005.
2
We did not have a material relationship with Mr. van der Schueren
during the three years prior to our initial acquisition of shares of ATX on May
27, 2004, and have not had a material relationship with him since that date
through the date of this prospectus other than with respect to his right to
acquire additional shares of ATX from us as described above.
We agreed to file this registration statement with the SEC for the
benefit of Mr. van der Schueren 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 purchase
of the additional 41% of outstanding shares of ATX on March 16, 2005, (ii) the
date that the selling stockholder 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 the selling stockholder
subject to this prospectus have been sold pursuant to the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part.
Selling Stockholder. The table below shows the number of shares owned
by the selling stockholder based upon information he has provided to us as of
April 30, 2005. We cannot estimate the number of shares the selling stockholder
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 the selling stockholder after the completion of this
offering.

(1) All such shares were issued to Mr. van der Schueren on March 16, 2005 as part of the purchase
price for the additional 41% of the outstanding ATX shares acquired by us.
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 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:
3
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.
In connection with the sale of shares, the selling stockholder may,
subject to the terms of his agreement 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 their 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.
4
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 him 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.
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.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain
circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred)
arising under the Securities Act. Article Eighth of the Registrant's amended
certificate of incorporation and Article VII of the Registrant's bylaws provide
for indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers to the maximum
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Registrant also
maintains, and intends to continue to maintain, insurance for the benefit of its
directors and officers to insure these persons against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the securities laws.
Item 16. Exhibits
The index to exhibits appears immediately following the signature pages
to this Registration Statement.
Item 17. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the change in
volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information
in the registration statement;
II-2
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
above do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the registrant or
resolutions of the registrant's board of directors adopted pursuant thereto, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Euronet Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") by the Company on the date hereof under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Registration Statement relates to 215,644
shares of the Company's common stock, $0.02 par value per share (collectively,
the "Shares"), issued to the selling stockholder listed in the Registration
Statement.
In connection therewith, we have relied upon, among other things, our
examination of such documents, records of the Company and certificates of its
officers and public officials as we have deemed necessary for purposes of the
opinions expressed below. We express no opinion as to matters under or involving
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the corporate law of the State of
Delaware and the federal law of the United States of America.
For purposes of the opinion expressed below, we have assumed (i) the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (ii) the conformity
to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or
photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals and (iii) the due
authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all parties and the
validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof (other than the
authorization, execution and delivery of documents by the Company). This opinion
assumes that the provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation will
not be amended after the date hereof.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and having regard for such legal
considerations as we have deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that the Shares
have been duly authorized, were legally issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement and the reference to our firm under the
heading "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement.
We do not undertake to advise you of any changes in the opinions expressed
herein from matters that might hereafter arise or be brought to our attention.
Very truly yours,
