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

On July 22, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CURO Group Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) announced the appointment of two new directors effective July 22, 2019. Gillian Van Schaick has been appointed to a newly-created position on the Board as a Class II director, with a term expiring at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022. Elizabeth Webster has been appointed to a newly-created position as a Class I director, with a term expiring at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2021. Ms. Van Schaick will serve as a member of the Audit Committee and Ms. Webster will serve as a member of the Compensation Committee. The Board has determined that both Mses. Van Schaick and Webster satisfy the director independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and Ms. Van Schaick is financially literate under NYSE Listing Standards for purposes of her service on the Audit Committee.

In connection with appointment to the Board, each of Mses. Van Schaick and Webster received an award of 7,789 restricted stock units, representing the right to receive that number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing $80,000 by the closing price of the Company’s common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) as reported on the NYSE on the date of appointment to the Board, to vest at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2020, subject to each director’s continued service on the Board through such date. Each of Mses. Van Schaick and Webster also will be entitled to receive future equity grants that may be made to non-employee directors. In addition, each of Mses. Van Schaick and Webster will receive the standard non-management director compensation (prorated to correspond to their respective term of service with the Company), which is described in the section entitled “Non-Employee Director Compensation” in our definitive proxy statement for the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 16, 2019, which description is incorporated by reference herein. We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of Mses. Van Schaick and Webster on our standard form for directors filed as Exhibit 10.31 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Amendment No. 1) filed with the SEC on November 1, 2017.

There is no arrangement or understanding between either of Mses. Van Schaick or Webster and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Van Schaick or Ms. Webster was selected as a director. There are no transactions involving either of Mses. Van Schaick or Webster or their respective immediate family members and the Company or any of its subsidiaries that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

The Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Mses. Van Schaick and Webster on July 22, 2019, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
