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

On January 20, 2015, U.S. Bancorp (the "Company") and U.S. Bank National Association, its principal banking subsidiary, announced the promotion of Andrew Cecere, 54, formerly the Company’s Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, to the position of Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer, and also announced the promotion of Kathleen Ashcraft Rogers, 49, formerly the Company’s Executive Vice President, Business Line Planning and Reporting, to the position of Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, each effective immediately.

In connection with their promotions, Mr. Cecere and Ms. Rogers will receive increases in their base salaries to annualized base salaries of $750,000 and $475,000, respectively. Mr. Cecere and Ms. Rogers will be eligible to receive annual cash incentive awards with a target value of 150% and 125% of their base salaries, respectively. Mr. Cecere and Ms. Rogers will receive their annual long-term equity awards, valued at $5,000,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, as of the grant date of February 19, 2015, which will be granted 75% in the form of performance-based restricted stock units and 25% in the form of nonqualified stock options. Additional information about the Company’s executive compensation program can be found in the Company’s 2014 proxy statement.

Mr. Cecere and Ms. Rogers and certain of their respective family members have engaged in lending and other ordinary banking transactions with our banking subsidiaries. All loans and loan commitments and any transactions involving other financial products and services in connection with these transactions were made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including current interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company on January 20, 2015, announcing the promotions of Mr. Cecere and Ms. Rogers is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
