INTERNATIONAL MONEY EXPRESS INC

International Money Express, Inc. (the "Company" or "Intermex") is a global leading omnichannel money remittance services company focused primarily on the United States of America ("United States" or "U.S.") to Latin America and the Caribbean ("LAC") corridor, which includes Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean. We also provide our remittance services to Africa and Asia from the United States and offer money transfer services from Canada to Latin America and Africa. We also provide remittance services from Spain, Italy and Germany to Africa, Asia and Latin America. We utilize our proprietary technology to deliver convenient, reliable and value-added services to consumers through a broad network of sending and paying agents. Our remittance services, which include a comprehensive suite of ancillary financial processing solutions and payment services, are available in all 50 states in the U.S., Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and 13 provinces in Canada, as well as in certain locations in Spain, Italy and Germany, where consumers can send money to beneficiaries in more than 60 countries in LAC, Africa, Asia and Europe. Our services are accessible in person through over 100,000 independent sending and paying agents and 118 Company-operated stores, as well as digitally through the Internet via our websites, co-branded websites with digital partners and mobile device applications. Additionally, our product and service portfolio include online payment options, pre-paid debit cards and direct deposit payroll cards, which may present different cost, demand, regulatory and risk profiles relative to our core money remittance business.

Money remittance services to LAC countries, mainly Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and the Dominican Republic, are the primary source of our revenue. These services involve the movement of funds on behalf of an originating consumer for receipt by a designated beneficiary at a designated receiving location. Our remittances to LAC countries are primarily generated in the United States by consumers with roots in Latin American and Caribbean countries, many of whom do not have an existing relationship with a traditional full-service financial institution capable of providing the services we offer. We provide these consumers with flexibility and convenience to help them meet their financial needs. We believe many consumers who use our services may have access to traditional banking services, but prefer to use our services based on reliability, convenience and value. We generate money remittance revenue from fees paid by consumers (i.e., the senders of funds), which we share with our sending agents and digital partners in the originating country and our paying agents in the destination country. Remittances paid in local currencies that are not pegged to the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar or Euro can also generate revenue if we are successful in our daily management of currency exchange spreads. We also generate revenue from our Remittance-as-a-Service ("RaaS") relationships with digital partners where we receive a fee for facilitating money transfers processed through our proprietary software systems, using our money transmitter licenses and payer network relationships.

Our money remittance services enable consumers to send funds through our broad network of locations in the United States, Canada, Spain, Italy and Germany that are primarily operated by third-party businesses, as well as by Company-operated stores, located in those jurisdictions. Transactions are processed and payment is collected by our agent ("sending agent(s)") and those funds become available for pickup by the beneficiary at the designated destination, usually within minutes, at any Intermex payer location ("paying agent(s)"). We refer to our sending agents and our paying agents collectively as agents. In addition, our services are offered digitally through the Internet via our websites (intermexonline.com and online.i-transfer.es), co-branded websites with our digital partners and mobile device applications. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we have grown our agent network by approximately 5.4%. For the year ended December 31, 2025, principal amount sent decreased by approximately 2.2% to $23.8 billion, as compared to fiscal year 2024, and total remittances processed were approximately 53.9 million, representing a decrease of approximately 8.5%, as compared to fiscal year 2024 primarily related to decreased volume processed that we attribute to a contraction in the remittance market, particularly the Mexico corridor coupled with a change in consumer behavior remitting a lower number of money transfers but at a higher average principal sent per transaction. This overall decrease was partially offset by increased volume generated by our digital channels and European subsidiaries.

On August 10, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, The Western Union Company, a Delaware corporation ("Western Union"), and Ivey Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Western Union ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company and the Company will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Western Union. The Merger Agreement provides that each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (subject to limited exceptions such as treasury shares or shares as to which dissenters’ rights have been properly exercised in accordance with Delaware law ) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $16.00 per share in cash, without interest.
