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

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") of Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (the “Company”) has approved a new form of performance share award agreement ("Performance Shares Agreement") for performance-based awards ("Performance Shares") for use under the Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The form of Performance Shares Agreement, among other things, provides for vesting of a variable number of shares three years from the date of grant based on the achievement of total stockholder return in comparison with the members of the Company’s compensation peer group. The form also provides for “double-trigger” early vesting of the target number of Performance Shares in the event of a change of control, upon termination of employment if employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the grantee for good reason, in each case within 90 days before or two years after a change of control.

On September 10, 2016, David B. Foss, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Kevin D. Williams, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and Mark S. Forbis, the Company's Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, each received awards of Performance Shares pursuant to the form of Performance Shares Agreement, in the target award amounts set forth below:

David B. Foss        24,233 Performance Shares
Kevin D. Williams    12,116 Performance Shares
Mark S. Forbis         5,385 Performance Shares

The foregoing description of the Performance Shares Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.60 and incorporated herein by reference.
