Item 1.01 — Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

At a meeting held on January 25, 2006, the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Cash America International, Inc. (the “Company”) granted a one-year extension of the employment agreement between the Company and Daniel R. Feehan, the Company’s president and chief executive officer. The renewal term will begin on May 1, 2006. All provisions of the agreement will remain the same during the renewal term.

At a meeting held on January 25, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) removing provisions that had permitted individual directors to elect to receive lump-sum distributions of their deferred directors’ fees in the form of cash rather than in Company stock. Under the Plan, a director who has deferred his director fees until his retirement or departure from the board may now only receive his deferred fees in the form of Company stock, either in installments or in a lump sum. The amendment does not require shareholder approval.
