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

On June 7, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of QC Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the terms of an annual incentive plan for certain executive officers and other key employees of the Company. The compensatory plan is intended to increase the percentage of total compensation that is derived from performance-based measures. The target annual incentive compensation for certain officers follows:

 

    

Target Annual

Incentive ($)

  

Target Annual

Incentive

(% of 2007
Base Salary)

Darrin J. Andersen
President and COO

   $ 292,500    65%

Douglas E. Nickerson
Chief Financial Officer

     150,000    50%

Wayne S. Wood
VP of Operations, Eastern U.S.

     100,000    50%

The opportunity to earn annual incentive compensation is based on the achievement of performance measures set by the Compensation Committee. For 2007, the annual incentive goals are based 35% on attainment of a certain diluted earnings per share total, 35% on the attainment of certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and 30% at the discretion of the committee. The targets set by the Compensation Committee are achievable, but will require the Company to have outstanding financial performance in order for the goals to be met.

Participants in the plan may also earn incentive compensation at threshold and maximum levels. The maximum amount payable to participants under the annual incentive plan is two times the target amount shown above. The Compensation Committee retains the authority to make bonus payments in addition to, or in lieu of, payments under the annual incentive plan and has the authority to modify, amend or adjust the performance measures established under the plan.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 7, 2007, the Board of Directors extended the Company’s common stock repurchase program through June 30, 2008. The program would have otherwise expired on June 30, 2007. Through June 11, 2007, the Company has repurchased approximately 2.1 million shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $27.2 million.
