FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DFC GLOBAL CORP. ANNOUNCES COMPENSATION-RELATED ACTIONS

Berwyn, Pennsylvania – May 8, 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 that its Board of Directors and its Human Resources and Compensation Committee have approved a series of actions developed in response to the November 2012 advisory vote on compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

“We have adopted stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers to further align their interests with the interests of our stockholders,” said Jack Gavin, the Board’s Lead Independent Director. “We have also approved a policy providing for the clawback of incentive and equity compensation from executives if their conduct contributed to a restatement of our financial statements under certain circumstances, as well as a policy prohibiting our directors and executives from hedging our securities and restricting their pledges of our securities.”

“We will no longer provide for single-trigger vesting of future equity grants upon a change in control of the Company, and we intend to only utilize an earnings per share metric for our fiscal year 2014 key management bonus program,” said Ron McLaughlin, the Chair of the Board’s independent Human Resources and Compensation Committee. “Further, Jeff Weiss, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has agreed with us to eliminate the parachute tax gross-up provision from his current employment agreement, and we have determined to continue our practice of not granting such gross-ups in the future.”

“While the vote last November was advisory, we wanted our stockholders to know that the Board took their concerns about compensation seriously,” added Mr. McLaughlin. “We believe these changes more closely align executive compensation with long-term stockholder interests.”
