ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

On October 31, 2011, the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Cash America International, Inc. (the “Company”), Thomas A. Bessant, Jr., amended his existing Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (the “Trading Plan”) that was entered into on May 19, 2011 to extend the term of the plan through January 23, 2012. The Trading Plan provides for the sale, subject to minimum market price thresholds, of up to 25,000 shares of Company common stock, par value $0.10 per share, that may be acquired upon the exercise of Mr. Bessant’s outstanding stock options that expire on January 23, 2012. Sales under the amended Trading Plan will commence no earlier than November 14, 2011.

The Trading Plan was adopted in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company’s policies regarding transactions in its securities. Rule 10b5-1 permits individuals who are not then in possession of material nonpublic information to establish prearranged plans to buy or sell stock in the future, regardless of subsequent material nonpublic information.
