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

On June 7, 2010, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Dollar Financial Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), took the actions described below.

2011 Management Cash Bonus Program

The Committee approved a cash bonus program for the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 (“Fiscal 2011”) pursuant to which certain management personnel of the Company will participate (the “2011 Cash Bonus Program”), including each of the Company’s named executive officers: Jeffrey Weiss, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Randy Underwood, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Norman Miller, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; Syd Franchuk, Executive Vice President and Chairman — National Money Mart Company; and Silvio Piccini, Senior Vice President and Managing Director — United Kingdom Operations (collectively, the “NEOs”).

The 2011 Cash Bonus Program provides for target and maximum bonus opportunities as a percentage of each participant’s annual base compensation for Fiscal 2011, with that percentage determined based upon the Company’s achievement of certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) goals, the performance of the business unit in which the participant operates, and/or the Company’s achievement of strategic objectives established by the Board.

The following table sets forth the target and maximum bonus opportunities for each of the NEOs under the 2011 Cash Bonus Program, expressed as a percentage of each NEO’s annual base compensation for Fiscal 2011:

                 
Named Executive Officer   Target Bonus Opportunity   Maximum Bonus Opportunity
Jeffrey Weiss
    125 %     175 %
Randy Underwood
    90 %     180 %
Norman Miller
    90 %     180 %
Sydney Franchuk
    60 %     120 %
Silvio Piccini
    50 %     100 %

Under the 2011 Cash Bonus Program, the bonuses of Messrs. Weiss, Underwood and Miller will be based on the Company’s consolidated EBITDA for Fiscal 2011, the bonus of Mr. Franchuk will be based on the performance of the Company’s Canadian business unit during Fiscal 2011 and the bonus of Mr. Piccini will be based primarily on the performance of the Company’s U.K. business unit during Fiscal 2011.

The Committee and/or the Board will determine the EBITDA operating targets and methodology on which bonuses are paid pursuant to the 2011 Cash Bonus Program based upon methods historically used by the Company. The Committee and the Board retain the right to amend, alter or terminate the 2011 Cash Bonus Program at any time. Bonuses under the 2011 Cash Bonus Program will be calculated and paid after finalizing the Company’s annual financial results for Fiscal 2011.

2011 Long-Term Incentive Program

The Committee approved a long-term incentive program for Fiscal 2011 (the “2011 LTIP”), pursuant to which certain management personnel of the Company, including each of the NEOs, are eligible to receive (i) options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Options”), (ii) restricted stock units of the Company’s common stock (“RSUs”), and (iii) long term incentive cash payments (“Incentive Cash Payments”).

The Options and RSUs, which have a grant date of June 7, 2010, vest ratably on a quarterly basis over a three-year period beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2010. When vested, the Options will be exercisable at a price of $17.97 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 7, 2010. The Incentive Cash Payments vest ratably on an annual basis over a three-year period beginning on June 30, 2011 if, and only if, the Company attains a consolidated EBITDA target for Fiscal 2011 and/or other strategic objectives established by the Board.

The following table sets forth the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the Options and RSUs, and the amounts with respect to the Incentive Cash Payments, awarded to each of the NEOs under the 2011 LTIP:

                         
                    Incentive
Named Executive Officer   Options   RSUs   Cash Payment
Jeffrey Weiss
  21,277 shares   21,925 shares   $ 394,000

  15,817 shares   16,300 shares   $ 292,905  
Norman Miller
  15,817 shares   16,300 shares   $ 292,905

  3,943 shares   4,064 shares   $ 73,024
