FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DFC GLOBAL CORP. ANNOUNCES THE TERMINATION OF ITS CANADIAN CROSS-CURRENCY SWAP AGREEMENTS USED
TO HEDGE THE NOTIONAL VALUE OF ITS $600 MILLION 10.375% SENIOR NOTES

Berwyn, Pennsylvania – December 23, 2013 – DFC Global Corp. (NASDAQ: DLLR), a leading international diversified financial services company serving primarily unbanked and under-banked consumers for over 30 years, today announced the termination of the cross-currency swaps which its Canadian subsidiary, National Money Mart Company (“NMM”) had entered into in order to hedge the U.S. Dollar exposure associated with the $600.0 million senior unsecured notes (“Notes”) issued by NMM. The termination of the swaps was effected pursuant to negotiated transactions with the respective counter-parties to the swaps. Based on the value of the Canadian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar at the time of the termination, the Company will receive net proceeds from the transaction of approximately $38.8 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds to pay down outstanding balances under its global revolving credit facility.

Following this transaction, the Company will be required to mark-to-market the notional value of the Notes until it refinances the Notes. The Company had historically made similar mark-to-market translational adjustments on its financial statements for non-hedged portions of its long-term debt instruments. The termination of the swap agreements will also reduce the Company’s cash interest expense in future periods that was associated with payments pertaining to the now unwound swap agreements.
