On April 8, 2010, Global Cash Access Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) repurchased in a privately negotiated transaction 3,105,590 shares of its common stock from various entities affiliated with Summit Partners, L.P. for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000,000 at a purchase price of $8.05 per share of common stock. The Company funded this repurchase transaction from its cash on hand. C. J. Fitzgerald, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, whose term expires on April 29, 2010, is a managing partner of Summit Partners, L.P.

This share repurchase transaction was made pursuant to a new authorization by the Board of Directors of the Company in March 2010 separate from the $25 million share repurchase program previously announced by the Company on February 23, 2010. The Company has not repurchased any shares of its common stock to date pursuant to the share repurchase program announced on February 23, 2010.

Global Cash Access, Inc. (“GCA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has called for redemption prior to their maturity of $25,000,000 in the aggregate principal amount of its 8.75% senior subordinated notes due 2012 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of such notes. GCA will redeem these notes on May 3, 2010 and upon completion of such redemption, $127.8 million of the 8.75% senior subordinated notes will remain outstanding. A formal notice of redemption has been sent separately to the affected holders of such notes in accordance with the terms of the indenture for these notes. GCA plans to finance this redemption from its cash on hand.
