programs. When setting executive compensation, the Compensation Committee applies a consistent approach for all Named Executive Officers. It intends that the combination of elements of executive compensation closely aligns the executives&#146;
interest with those of the Company&#146;s shareholders. Target total compensation is comprised of base salary, annual cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity grants. The Compensation Committee generally reviews and
adjusts executive target total compensation levels annually in February and March of each year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:14px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="3">In fiscal
2006, the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee retained an independent compensation consulting firm to perform analyses of competitive performance and compensation levels for the Company&#146;s Named Executive Officers. This consulting firm
developed recommendations that were reviewed by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors in connection with approving executive compensation for fiscal 2007. Neither the Board of Directors nor the Compensation Committee has retained any
independent compensation consultants since that time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:14px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="3">The Compensation Committee currently initiates the
compensation process, seeking input and information from the CEO and the full Board of Directors before finalizing any salary increases, employment contracts, bonus plans or long-term incentive equity awards for Named Executive Officers. In
considering the appropriate compensation for each of the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration, among other things, the CEO&#146;s recommendations, the executive pay for executive officers in comparable
positions for companies in the Company&#146;s peer group, the level of inherent risk associated with the position, the specific circumstances of the executive, and the advisory vote of the Company&#146;s shareholders with respect to the compensation
of the Named Executive Officer for the prior fiscal year. The Compensation Committee approves the base salary, annual cash bonus and long-term incentive equity awards for the CEO and for each Named Executive Officer below the CEO level. </FONT></P>

attract, retain and reward the best available persons for executive officer positions. The Company currently maintains two long-term equity incentive plans for executive officers &#150; the Nicholas Financial, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the
&#147;Equity Plan&#148;) and the Nicholas Financial, Inc. Employee Stock Option Plan (the &#147;Employee Plan&#148;). The Employee Plan was terminated on August&nbsp;9, 2006, and no new awards will be granted under such plan, although stock options
granted under such plan and still outstanding will continue to be subject to all terms and conditions of such plan. </FONT></P>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="3">The Company has change in control provisions in its employment agreements with the Named Executive Officers, the Equity Plan and the Employee Plan. The Company has no additional change in control
contracts or arrangements with any of the Named Executive Officers. The employment agreements with the Named Executive Officers were amended and restated on July&nbsp;3, 2012, principally to address tax considerations relating to Section&nbsp;409A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;). The severance payment provisions of these agreements were also amended, however, to provide for severance in the event of a change of control only under certain circumstances,
rather than at the sole discretion of the Executive upon a change of control. For further information regarding these employment agreements, see &#147;Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change-in-Control&#148; beginning on page 29 and
&#147;Summary of Employment Agreements With Named Executive Officers&#148; beginning on page 34. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:14px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="3">The change
in control provisions in the plans and the employment agreements, as amended and restated, are designed to make a change in control transaction neutral to the economic interests of employees that might be involved in considering such a transaction.
The employees subject to these provisions would likely not be in a position to influence the Company&#146;s performance after a change in control or may not be in a position to earn their incentive awards or vest in their equity awards after a
change in control. Thus, the provisions are meant to encourage employees that may be involved in considering a change in control transaction to act in the interests of the Company&#146;s shareholders rather than their own interests. </FONT></P>

to purchase Common shares will become immediately exercisable, either upon a change in control or upon termination of employment within one year after a change in control. The Compensation Committee believes that the provisions provided for under
both our employment agreements and equity compensation plans are appropriate since an employee&#146;s position could be adversely affected by a change in control even if he is not terminated. These plans provide, however, that the Compensation
Committee may determine in advance of the change in control event that the provisions would not apply and therefore no accelerated vesting would occur. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:14px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

term as a Director. The number of Common shares that a Non-Employee Director was entitled to receive pursuant to such 1,000 performance share award depended upon the Company&#146;s ability to meet fiscal year-to-fiscal year operating income growth
targets, but could not exceed 1,000 Common shares. Beginning April&nbsp;1, 2012, under the Equity Plan, each Non-Employee Director is entitled to receive a grant of options to purchase 5,000 Common shares upon his or her election or re-election to
