Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
The Company has entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of September 17, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”), between it, NetSpend Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“NetSpend”), and Daniel R. Henry, an individual resident of the State of Kansas and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Executive”). Under the Amendment, if during the term of the Executive’s employment and following a “Change of Control” (as such term is defined in that certain Performance Based Option granted to the Executive on March 11, 2008 (the “Option”)), NetSpend terminates the further employment of the Executive without “Cause” (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) or the Executive resigns from further employment with NetSpend for “Good Reason” (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement), the severance payable to the Executive will be equal to 48 months of his base salary instead of the 24 months of base salary otherwise provided for by the Employment Agreement. The amendment also provides that any severance payable to the Executive under the Employment Agreement will be paid on the fortieth business day following the relevant termination date and documents a prior revision to the Executive’s private aircraft reimbursement allowance.

In addition, the Company has amended the time-based portion (the “Time-Based Portion”) of the Option (608,646 shares at $3.53 per share; time-based vesting on February 5, 2014 (the “Time-Based Vesting Date”)) to provide that the vesting of such portion of the Option will be accelerated upon any termination of the Employment Agreement by NetSpend without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason following, in each case, a Change of Control. The vesting of the Time-Based Portion of the Option will also be accelerated if a Change in Control occurs prior to the Time-Based Vesting Date if the Time-Based Portion of the Option is not assumed by or substituted for new options covering the stock of the surviving, successor or purchasing corporation involved in the Change of Control.
