Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 27, 2013, Net Element International, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiary, TOT Group, Inc. ("TOT"), entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") to acquire substantially all of the business assets of nine entities collectively referred to as "Quickpay," which include Quickpay USA, Inc., UPC-Kazakhstan, LLP, United Processing System of Panama, Inc., Quickpay Multinational Payment System LTD, MPS, LLC, MPS, LTD, Quickpay Columbia SAS, System Quickpay, LLC and Express MIT, LLC. Quickpay's business includes the development, implementation and sales of payments acceptance terminals and a customer relationship management and payments acceptance platform. The parties agreed to endeavor to complete the proposed transaction within 60 days of the effective date of the LOI.

Pursuant to the LOI, Quickpay will contribute (the "Contribution") substantially all of their business assets to one or more newly formed direct and/or indirect subsidiaries of TOT ("NewCo"). As consideration for the Contribution: (a) NewCo will assume approximately US$1,500,000 (221,500,000 Kazakhstani tenge and 721,013 Russian rubles) of Quickpay's auditable debt; (b) NewCo will issue to the sellers an aggregate of 35.5% of the equity interests in NewCo; (c) TOT will provide business resources (capital, business relationships and corporate governance) to commercialize Quickpay's product in certain target markets; and (d) TOT will provide Quickpay with resources to help Quickpay expand within Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the United States and Latin America, including marketing, product development and business development resources. TOT will have an option to purchase the sellers' 35.5% equity interests in NewCo, with the purchase price based on the fair market value of NewCo as of the end of the calendar month immediately preceding TOT's request for a valuation in accordance with the terms of the option. The LOI does not specify the required or permitted method(s) of payment of the purchase price for the exercise of the option.

The consummation of the Contribution is subject to the satisfaction (or TOT's written waiver in its sole and absolute discretion) of the following conditions precedent: (i) the completion of definitive documentation relating to the Contribution; (ii) the completion of due diligence of Quickpay and their business, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition, legal proceedings, contracts and other matters, to the reasonable satisfaction of TOT; (iii) receipt of all necessary consents and approvals, including consents of Quickpay's lenders to the assumption of Quickpay's debt by NewCo without triggering any default or acceleration of such debt; (iv) no material adverse change to Quickpay or their business; (v) the negotiation prior to closing of compensation packages with key personnel of Quickpay; and (vi) other customary closing conditions.
