Tom Cregan, the former Executive Vice President, Sales and Distribution of NetSpend Corporation (the “Company”), resigned on November 15, 2011.
 
In connection with Mr. Cregan’s resignation, the Company and Mr. Cregan entered into a Termination and Consulting Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Mr. Cregan will act as a Strategic Sales Consultant to the senior managers of the Company through March 31, 2012 (subject to the Company’s ability to terminate the Agreement in the event Mr. Cregan violates any of his post-termination obligations to the Company). Mr. Cregan will not be paid for his consulting services and he cannot be required to provide more than ten hours of services in any calendar month.

On November 16, 2011, Mr. Cregan signed a release that discharges the Company and its affiliates from any and all claims related to Mr. Cregan’s employment and the termination thereof (subject to certain exceptions related to Mr. Cregan’s indemnification rights and certain options held by him). Mr. Cregan has until November 23, 2011 to revoke this release. If the release is revoked, the Agreement will be wholly null and void.

If the release becomes finally effective, the options (the “Options”) granted to Mr. Cregan pursuant to the Amended and Restated NetSpend Holdings, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan prior to the termination of his employment will continue to vest in accordance with their terms during the term of the Agreement. The Agreement further provides that if the release becomes finally effective, the Company will not, during such time as one or more of the Options remain outstanding, amend any option held by an executive officer of the Company that is substantially similar to one or more of the Options without offering to amend the corresponding Option in a like manner.
 
This summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the agreement attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
