H&R Block, Inc. (NYSE: HRB), the world\u2019s largest consumer tax services provider, today announced that the regulatory approval process regarding its purchase and assumption agreement (the \u201cP&A Agreement\u201d) with BofI Federal Bank (\u201cBofI\u201d) will not be complete this calendar year. Thus, H&R Block expects to continue offering its financial services products to its clients through H&R Block Bank for the upcoming tax season. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely disappointed with this development. However, we remain committed to exiting our bank and forming a long-term relationship with BofI,\u201d said Bill Cobb, H&R Block\u2019s president and chief executive officer. \u201cWe are prepared to serve our clients through H&R Block Bank this upcoming tax season. Our financial services products provide tremendous value for our clients, who will not be impacted by this delay.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As announced on April 10, 2014, H&R Block Bank and BofI entered into the P&A Agreement, pursuant to which H&R Block Bank agreed to sell certain assets and transfer certain liabilities, including all of its deposit liabilities, to BofI. The P&A Agreement is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The parties also agreed to terms of a program management agreement under which BofI will serve as the bank for H&R Block-branded financial services products offered through H&R Block\u2019s retail and digital channels: Emerald Prepaid MasterCard\u00ae, refund transfers and Emerald Advance\u00ae lines of credit. Further details regarding these agreements can be found in the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2014. There can be no assurances regarding when or if the transaction will ultimately receive regulatory approval or if the other closing conditions will be satisfied. <\/span><\/p>\n
