This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons on April 4, 2008, as amended on March 9, 2011 and May 9, 2011 (the “Schedule 13D”). Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

The first and second paragraphs of Item 1 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety with the following:

“This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly on behalf of the Reporting Persons (as defined below in Item 2) with respect to the shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), par value $0.01 per share, of MoneyGram International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 2828 N. Harwood Street, 15th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75201.

The Reporting Persons currently hold Common Stock and previously held Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series B Stock”). Goldman Sachs (as defined below in Item 2) currently holds Series D Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series D Stock”) and previously held Series B-1 Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series B-1 Stock”). SPCP Group, LLC (“Silver Point”) currently holds Common Stock and previously held Series B Stock. See Item 4 regarding, pursuant to the Recapitalization (as defined in Item 4) (i) the conversion of each share of Series B Stock into a certain number of shares of Common Stock, with the precise number determined by a formula in the Series B Stock Certificate of Designations Preferences and Rights, attached hereto at Exhibit 7.12 (the “Series B Certificate”), (ii) the conversion of Series B-1 Stock into a certain number of shares of Series D Stock, with the precise number determined by a formula in the Series B-1 Stock Certificate of Designations Preferences and Rights, attached hereto at Exhibit 7.13 (the “Series B-1 Certificate”), and (iii) the Reporting Persons’, Goldman Sachs’ and Silver Point’s receipt of cash and additional shares of Common Stock and Series D Stock.

The Series D Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock by a holder, other than Goldman Sachs (as defined in Item 2) or their affiliates, that receives such shares by means of (i) a widespread public distribution, (ii) a transfer to an underwriter for the purpose of conducting a widespread public distribution, (iii) a transfer in which no transferee (or group of associated transferees) would receive 2% or more of any class of voting securities of the Company, or (iv) a transfer to a transferee that would control more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company without any transfer from such transferor or its affiliates, as applicable (each of (i) – (iv), a “Widely Dispersed Offering”). The Series D Stock is generally non-voting while held by Goldman Sachs or their affiliates and while held by any holder who receives such shares by means other than a Widely Dispersed Offering except for the right of such holders to vote on specific

actions described in the Amended and Restated Series D Stock Certificate of Designations. The Amended and Restated Series D Stock Certificate of Designations is included as Exhibit 7.21 hereto and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 1.

If the Reporting Persons are determined to be members of a “group” with Goldman Sachs or Silver Point as discussed in Item 2 below, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock deemed to be owned by Goldman Sachs or Silver Point.”

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Paragraphs (a) – (b) of Item 2 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety with the following:

“(a)-(b)

This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly on behalf of the following persons (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”): (1) THL Equity Advisors VI, LLC, a Delaware limited partnership (“Advisors VI”); (2) Thomas H.

Lee Parallel Fund VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Parallel Fund”); (5) Thomas H. Lee Parallel (DT) Fund VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“DT Fund,” and together with Equity Fund and Parallel Fund, the “Funds”); (6) THL Equity Fund VI Investors (MoneyGram), LLC (which entity was converted from THL Equity Fund VI Investors (MoneyGram), L.P. on April 2, 2008, “Fund VI (MG)”), (7) THL Coinvestment Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Coinvestment Fund”); (8) THL Operating Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Operating Partners”); (9) Great-West Investors L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Great-West”); (10) Putnam Investments Employees’ Securities Company III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Putnam,” and together with Fund VI (MG), Coinvestment Fund, Operating Partners and Great-West, the “THL Coinvest Entities”)); and (11) Putnam Investments Holdings, LLC (“Putnam Holdings”). The Funds and the THL Coinvest Entities are all direct holders of Common Stock, and are herein referred to as “THL.” It is the understanding of the Reporting Persons that Goldman Sachs and Silver Point will each be filing a separate Schedule 13D (the “Goldman Sachs Schedule 13D” and the “Silver Point Schedule 13D,” as applicable).

Co., including GS Capital Partners VI Fund, L.P., GS Capital Partners VI Offshore Fund, L.P., GS Capital Partners VI GmbH & Co. KG, GS Capital Partners VI Parallel, L.P., GSMP V Onshore US, Ltd., GSMP V Offshore US, Ltd., GSMP V Institutional US, Ltd. (collectively, the “GS Investors”), and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

While owned by Goldman Sachs, the Series B-1 Stock and Series D Stock was or is, as applicable, a non-voting stock and cannot be converted into Common Stock. The principal business and principal office of Goldman Sachs is located at 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a member of a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, with Silver Point, and may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock deemed to be owned or able to be acquired within 60 days by Silver Point. The principal business and principal office of Silver Point is located at Two Greenwich Plaza, 1st Floor, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830-6353.”

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following:

“Pursuant to the Recapitalization (as defined and discussed in Item 4), the Reporting Persons converted, and thereby ceased to beneficially own, their Series B Stock.

The terms Closing Date, Transaction, Purchase Agreement, Silver Point Letter Agreement and Investors have the definitions ascribed to such terms in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D, prior to any amendments thereto.”

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following immediately prior to the paragraph beginning “Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right”:

“The Stockholder Meeting was held on May 18, 2011 (the “Recapitalization Closing Date”) and the Stockholder Approval Requirements were satisfied. Following the Stockholder Meeting on the Recapitalization Closing Date, the closing of the Recapitalization occurred in accordance with the Recapitalization Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, and (i) the holders of Series B Stock (including the Reporting Persons) converted all of the shares of Series B Stock into Common Stock (the “Conversion Common Stock”) in accordance with the Series B Certificate, (ii) the GS Investors converted all of the shares of Series B-1 Stock into Series D Stock in accordance with the Series B-1 Certificate (the “Conversion Series D Stock:”), (iii) the Series D Certificate was amended, (iv) an amount equal to the dividends payable (at the

12.5% accrual rate) on the shares of Series B Stock and Series B-1 Stock with respect to the days between the end of the immediately preceding quarterly dividend period for which dividends were accrued and the Recapitalization Closing Date was paid in cash to the Investors, and (v) as an inducement to the Investors to effect such conversions in accordance with the Series B Certificate and the Series B-1 Certificate and to forgo the rights to liquidation preferences and future dividends provided for in the Series B Certificate and the Series B-1 Certificate, as applicable, the Company paid the Investors additional consideration in the form of cash and issued to the Investors additional shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock (together with the Conversion Common Stock, the Conversion Series D Stock, and all shares of stock of the Company into which any of the foregoing are converted, the “Recapitalization Shares”), as applicable (collectively, the “Recapitalization”). No shares of Series B Stock or Series B-1 Stock remain outstanding. The Recapitalization did or may result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including without limitation a change to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Company.

As previously discussed, the Purchase Agreement provides the Investors certain rights to designate Board Representatives. In connection with the closing of the Recapitalization, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certification of Incorporation (the “Certificate Amendment”) to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to remove Goldman Sachs’ right to designate a Board Representative. The Reporting Persons have the right to designate two (2) to four (4) Board Representatives (the “THL Board Representatives”), which THL Board Representatives together shall be authorized to vote (with each THL Board Representative having equal votes) on all matters occasioning action by the Board a total number of votes equal to the number of votes as is proportionate to the Investors’ common stock ownership, calculated on a fully converted basis assuming the conversion of all shares of Series D Stock into common stock. Therefore, each director designated by the Reporting Persons has multiple votes and each other director has one vote. This mechanism is the same as the mechanism that existed prior to the Certificate Amendment, except that prior the Certificate Amendment, the number of votes to which the THL Board Representative were entitled was reduced by the one vote to which a Goldman Board Representative was entitled, if there was a Goldman Sachs Board Representative. This summary of the Certificate Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.22 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.”

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Company.

Item 5 (a) – (b) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following:

“(a) – (b)

The response to Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference. Based on information supplied by the Company, immediately following the closing of the Recapitalization, there were 398,311,755 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 173,189.5678 shares of Series D Stock outstanding (equivalent to 173,189,567 shares of Common Stock). The ownership percentages set forth in this Item 5 include both (i) ownership percentages including the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Stock (which Series D Stock, subject to certain exceptions, is non-voting) in the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock (referred to herein as the “Deemed Outstanding”) and (ii) ownership percentages calculated excluding the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Stock from the total outstanding number of shares of Common Stock (referred to herein as the “Actually Outstanding”).

Equity Fund may be deemed to share with Advisors and Advisors IV voting and dispositive power with respect to such Common Stock.

Additionally, pursuant to the 2009 Letter Agreement, Silver Point and the THL Funds have agreed that Silver Point may not sell or transfer any Transferred Shares unless the THL Funds sell or transfer any shares of stock to an unaffiliated third party, in which case, Silver Point shall sell or transfer, in the same transaction and on the same terms and conditions, a number of Transferred Shares equal to the number of shares being sold or transferred by the THL Funds multiplied by the applicable percentage (the “Co-Exit Rights”). Concurrently with entry into the Recapitalization Agreement, Silver Point and the THL Investors entered into a letter agreement (the “Amendment Letter”) amending certain terms of the 2009 Letter Agreement, including (i) making all of the Recapitalization Shares subject to the 2009 Letter Agreement and (ii) terminating the Proxy and the Co-Exit Rights on the nine-month anniversary of the Recapitalization Closing Date, or February 18, 2012. Upon such termination of the Proxy and Co-Exit Rights and Silver Point ceasing to be party to the Shareholders Agreement on February 18, 2012, any and all beneficial ownership any Reporting Person may be deemed to have with respect to shares of Common Stock held by Silver Point shall terminate. This summary of the Amendment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment Letter, which is attached to this Schedule D as Exhibit 7.19 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.”
