Material Changes Versus Prior Period
On February 12, 2015, the Company, HRB Bank, and Block Financial LLC entered into a Letter Agreement to amend the P&A Agreement. The material changes include:
- Closing Date Extension: The target closing date for the transaction was amended to June 30, 2015, unless mutually agreed otherwise.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The P&A Transaction remains subject to various closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals and the fulfillment of customary conditions. The Company explicitly states that there can be no assurances regarding when or if the agreement will receive regulatory approval, when closing conditions will be satisfied, or if the transaction will ultimately be completed. The amendments reflect a need for additional time to navigate regulatory processes.
