<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">AUSTIN, Texas (May&nbsp;20, 2010) &#151; EZCORP, Inc. (Nasdaq: EZPW) announced today that it has
acquired an additional 16,200,000 newly issued ordinary shares of Cash Converters International
Limited. EZCORP paid AUS $0.60 per share, for a total of AUS $9,720,000 (approximately $8.2
million U.S.). EZCORP now owns approximately 32.76% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Cash
Converters.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash Converters has been acquiring franchised locations, principally in Australia, and converting
them into company operated stores. In addition, Cash Converters launched its cash advance business
in the U.K. in October&nbsp;2009 and, after a successful pilot program, now plans to expand that
business. The proceeds of the EZCORP investment, along with the remaining proceeds of EZCORP&#146;s
original investment in November&nbsp;2009, will be used to accelerate these growth strategies.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Joe Rotunda, EZCORP&#146;s Chief Executive Officer, stated: &#147;We are excited about this opportunity to
enhance our relationship with Cash Converters. This additional investment represents a
continuation of the product, format and geographic diversification strategy that we have been
pursuing for some time. Cash Converters is making great progress in implementing their own growth
strategies, and we look forward to continuing our mutually beneficial, long-term partnership.&#148;</DIV>
