If MoneyGram declares Euronet’s bid superior, Ant will have four days to respond. MoneyGram’s shares rose 0.9 percent to $16.43 at the close in New York. They have more than doubled in the past year. Ant Financial also plans to keep MoneyGram’s headquarters in Dallas, its management team, and its employees.
