Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes and Agreement Amendments
On October 23, 2014, the Company, HRB Bank, and Block Financial LLC entered into a Letter Agreement to amend the original P&A Agreement due to the regulatory approval process not being completed in the 2014 calendar year. Key amendments include:
- Extended Closing Date: The date prior to which the closing will not occur was extended from May 31, 2014, to April 30, 2015. If all conditions are satisfied or waived by March 31, 2015, the closing is scheduled for April 30, 2015.
- Extended Termination Date: The date after which any party may terminate the agreement was extended from October 31, 2014, to May 31, 2015.
- Regulatory Denial/Delay Provisions: The deadline for regulators to make a final decision before a party may terminate for regulatory denial or delay was extended from September 30, 2014, to February 16, 2015 for both the Bank and HRB Bank/Block Financial.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management noted that H&R Block, Inc. expects to continue offering financial services through HRB Bank for the upcoming tax season. The filing explicitly states that there can be no assurances regarding when or if the P&A Agreement will receive regulatory approval, when closing conditions will be satisfied, or if the transaction will ultimately be completed. The transaction remains subject to various closing conditions, including required regulatory approvals.
