Cash America Chief Executive Officer Adopts 10b5-1 Plan.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Cash America International, Inc. (NYSE:CSH) announced today that Daniel R. Feehan, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, has adopted a pre-arranged, systematic trading plan to sell company shares in accordance with guidelines specified by Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and with Cash America's policies with respect to insider sales.

Rule 10b5-1 permits officers and directors of public companies to adopt pre-determined plans for selling specified amounts of stock. The plans may be entered into only when an officer or director is not in possession of material, nonpublic information and may be used to gradually diversify investment portfolios over a period of time.

The 10b5-1 plan provides for Mr. Feehan's exercise and sale of certain stock options and currently held shares over a period of six months beginning November 20, 2005. Additionally, the plan provides that enough aggregate shares be sold to yield approximately $2.625 million after deducting applicable taxes, option costs and expenses of sale. Mr. Feehan anticipates the number of shares to be sold will be approximately 15% to 20% of the aggregate shares he currently owns or, has rights to under option and restricted stock unit agreements.

Mr. Feehan will use approximately $2.2 million of the net proceeds from the plan to fully repay the remaining principal and interest on a Promissory Note dated July 24, 2002 payable to Cash America in the original principal amount of $2.7 million. Any remaining proceeds from the plan will enable Mr. Feehan to diversify his personal assets. Mr. Feehan said, "I remain confident of the financial condition of Cash America and bullish about our long-term growth prospects. The 10b5-1 plan allows me to repay a personal obligation to the Company and modestly diversify my equity holdings. I am retaining a large equity interest in Cash America and hope to add to that position in future years."
