Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 23, 2014, Global Payments Inc. (the “Company”) filed a current report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) reporting that on May 21, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors promoted David E. Mangum from Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer to President and Chief Operating Officer, effective June 30, 2014. In the Original Report, the Company also reported that Jeffrey S. Sloan would continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer. At the time of the Original Report, the modifications to the employment agreements of Messrs. Mangum and Sloan had not been finalized.

On August 29, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the employment agreement with Mr. Mangum to reflect his new position and increase his compensation. Pursuant to the amendment, Mr. Mangum’s base annual salary was increased to $575,000, effective June 30, 2014, and his target annual at-risk cash bonus opportunity for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2015 was increased from 85% to 100% of his annual base salary. All other material terms of Mr. Mangum’s employment agreement remain unchanged. On August 29, 2014, the Company also entered into an amendment to the employment agreement with Mr. Sloan, which reflected that he will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer but not President. Mr. Sloan’s amendment did not modify his compensation or any other material terms of his employment agreement.
