ITEM 7.01.          REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

On October 22, 2014, Cash America International, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has approved the spin-off of its e-commerce segment, Enova International, Inc. (“Enova”), into an independent and separate publicly traded company. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

ITEM 8.01.          OTHER EVENTS

On October 22, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the separation of Enova through a tax-free spin-off of approximately 80 percent of the outstanding shares of Enova to holders of the Company’s common stock. The distribution is expected to occur at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on November 13, 2014. The Company’s shareholders will receive 0.915 shares of Enova common stock for every one share of Company common stock held at the close of business on November 3, 2014, which is the record date for the distribution. Fractional shares of Enova common stock will not be distributed. Any fractional shares of Enova common stock will be aggregated and sold in the open market, and the aggregate net proceeds of the sales will be distributed ratably in the form of cash payments to the Company’s shareholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Enova common stock.  The completion of the distribution is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including the Registration Statement on Form 10 for Enova common stock being declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and certain other conditions described in the information statement included in the Enova Registration Statement on Form 10 that has been filed with the SEC.

Following the distribution of Enova common stock, Enova will be an independent, publicly traded company.  Enova has been approved to list its shares of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ENVA.”
