ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

On October 24, 2008, EZCORP, Inc. executed an amended asset purchase agreement to acquire the assets of eleven pawnshops located in Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada that operate under the Pawn Plus and ASAP Pawn brands. In the amendment, the seller agreed to accept unregistered shares rather than registered shares for the portion of the purchase price to be comprised of EZCORP Class A Non-voting Common Stock. In exchange, EZCORP agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to begin registration of the shares as soon as practicable after closing of the acquisition, but not later than 5 days after closing.
