Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
            On January 31, 2015, Blucora, Inc. (“Blucora”) and TaxACT, Inc. ("TaxACT") entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with JoAnn Kintzel, President of TaxACT. The Employment Agreement is effective as of January 31, 2015 (“Effective Date”), and replaces the previous agreement between Blucora, TaxACT, and Ms. Kintzel, which expired on the Effective Date.  The term of the Employment Agreement is three years from the Effective Date.  Ms. Kintzel's base salary is set at $300,000, with a target bonus of 60% of her base salary, measured against criteria set by Blucora's Board of Directors.  The other terms of the Employment Agreement conform to the standard form of employment agreement recently entered into by other Blucora business units presidents.  The above description is only a summary of the material terms, does not purport to be a complete description of the Employment Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
