TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF TRADING UNDER REGISTRANT’S EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS |
Cash America International, Inc. (the “Company”) has elected to change the recordkeeper for the
Cash America International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) and the Cash America
International, Inc. Nonqualified Savings Plan (together, the “Plans”). As a result of this change,
there will be a blackout period (the “Blackout Period”) in which participants and beneficiaries of
the Plans temporarily will be unable to direct or diversify investments in their individual
accounts, obtain loans from the 401(k) Plan, obtain distributions from the Plans, take in-service
withdrawals from the Plans, access information regarding their account balances and investments in
the Plans, change their beneficiary designations, or change their contribution elections. The
Blackout Period for the Plan is expected to begin as of 3:00 p.m. Central Time on Monday, September
20, 2010, and end during the week of October 10, 2010.
The Company received the notice of the Blackout Period for the 401(k) Plan required by Section
101(i)(2)(E) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 on August 20, 2010.
On August 20, 2010, the Company sent a notice of the Blackout Period (the “Blackout Period Notice”)
to the members of its Board of Directors and executive officers pursuant to Section 306 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 104 of Regulation BTR of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, informing them that they would be prohibited during the Blackout Period from purchasing and
selling shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (including derivative
securities pertaining to such shares), acquired in connection with their service or employment as a
director or executive officer of the Company. A copy of the Blackout Period Notice is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
