In the United States, on July 4, 2025, H.R. 1 was signed into law. Among other provisions, the legislation reinstates immediate expensing for domestic research and experimental expenditures, extends 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property placed in service beginning January 20, 2025, and makes certain other provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent. We are evaluating the impacts of this legislation and will reflect its impact in our financial statements in fiscal year 2026. At this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate the financial impact of these changes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires us to record deferred income tax assets and liabilities for future tax conseq uences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred taxes are determined separately for each tax-paying component within each tax jurisdiction based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the estimated amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. Determination of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets requires that we make judgments about future matters that are not certain, including projections of future taxable income and evaluating potential tax-planning strategies. The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected in the following table: (in 000s) As of June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 Deferred tax assets: Deferred revenue 33,435 50,944 Allowance for credit losses 30,098 30,581 Deferred and stock-based compensation 7,204 8,060 Net operating loss carry-forward 38,856 63,398 Lease liabilities 130,911 117,483 Federal tax benefits related to state unrecognized tax benefits 31,061 26,841 Internally developed software 84,301 15,063 Intangibles - intellectual property 61,138 71,367 Other 22,121 6,056 Valuation allowance ( 18,538 ) ( 16,569 ) Total deferred tax assets 420,587 373,224 Deferred tax liabilities: Prepaid expenses and other ( 20,396 ) ( 3,001 ) Lease right of use assets ( 128,204 ) ( 115,128 ) Intangibles ( 43,879 ) ( 51,398 ) Total deferred tax liabilities ( 192,479 ) ( 169,527 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 228,108 $ 203,697 A reconciliation of the deferred tax assets and liabilities and the corresponding amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets is as follows: (in 000s) As of June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 Deferred income tax assets $ 228,108 $ 203,697 Deferred tax liabilities — — Net deferred tax asset $ 228,108 $ 203,697 56 2025 Form 10-K | H&R Block, Inc. Changes in our valuation allowance for fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 are as follows: (in 000s) Year ended June 30, 2025 2024 2023 Balance, beginning of the year $ 16,569 $ 57,566 $ 55,172 Additions charged to costs and expenses 4,166 4,584 6,438 Deductions ( 2,197 ) ( 45,581 ) (4,044) Balance, end of the year $ 18,538 $ 16,569 $ 57,566 Our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets has a net increase of $ 2.0 million during the current period. The $ 4.2 million of additions charged to costs is primarily related to foreign tax credits that we do not expect to utilize in future years. The increase is offset by a $ 2.2 million decrease to our valuation allowance balance for adjustments related to certain domestic and foreign net operating losses utilized in the current fiscal year and changes in future projections of net operating loss utilization. Certain of our subsidiaries file stand-alone returns in various sta te, local and foreign jurisdictions, and others join in filing consolidated or combined returns in such jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2025, we had net operating losses of $ 38.9 million in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The amount of state and foreign net operating losses varies by taxing jurisdiction. We maintain a valuation allowance of $ 4.3 million on state net operating losses and $ 5.5 million on foreign net operating losses for the portion of such loses that, more likely than not, will not be realized. Of the total net operating loss deferred tax assets, $ 29.1 million are more likely than not to be realized. Net operating loss deferred tax assets of $ 10.4 million will expire in varying amounts during fiscal years 2026 through 2045 and the remaining $ 28.5 million have no expiration. We do not currently intend to repatriate non-borrowed funds held by our foreign subsidiaries in a manner that would trigger a tax liability; therefore, no provision has been made for income taxes that might be payable upon remittance of such earnings. The amount of unrecognized tax liability on these foreign earnings, net of expected foreign tax credits, is immaterial as of June 30, 2025. Changes in unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 are as follows: (in 000s) Year ended June 30, 2025 2024 2023 Balance, beginning of the year $ 251,787 $ 240,063 $ 232,004 Additions based on tax positions related to prior years 574 1,232 1,252 Reductions based on tax positions related to prior years — ( 4,604 ) — Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 37,883 37,063 33,330 Reductions related to settlements with tax authorities ( 379 ) ( 4,472 ) ( 661 ) Expiration of statute of limitations ( 23,317 ) ( 17,495 ) ( 25,862 ) Balance, end of the year $ 266,548 $ 251,787 $ 240,063 Included in the total gross unrecognized tax benefit ending balance as of June 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are $ 232.8 million, $ 207.5 million and $ 209.0 million respectively, which if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate. Increases from prior year are primarily related to additions based on current year tax positions offset by expirations of statute of limitations and settlements with taxing authorities. We believe it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $ 152.0 million within the next twelve months. The anticipated decrease is due to the expiration of statutes of limitations, anticipated closure of various tax matters currently under examination, and settlements with tax authorities. For such matters where a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits is not yet deemed reasonably possible, no estimate has been included. Interest and penalties, if any, accrued on the unrecognized ta x benefits are reflected in income tax expense. The total gross interest recorded to income tax expense for periods ending June 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023 totaled $ 1.4 million, $ 14.1 million and $ 10.1 million, respectively. The total penalties, if any, recorded for the same periods H&R Block, Inc. | 2025 Form 10-K 57 were immaterial. The total gross interest and penalties accrued as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 totaled $ 44.7 million and $ 42.0 million, respectively. NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Our U.S. and Canadian businesses offer our 100% accuracy guarantee. Assisted tax returns are covered by our 100% accuracy guarantee, whereby we will reimburse a client for penalties and interest attributable to an H&R Block error on a return. DIY tax returns are covered by our 100% accuracy guarantee, whereby we will reimburse a client (up to a maximum of $ 10,000 in the U.S), if our software makes an arithmetic error that results in payment of penalties and/or interest to the respective taxing authority that a client would otherwise not have been required to pay. Our liability related to estimated losses under the 100% accuracy guarantee was $ 11.4 million and $ 14.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The short-term and long-term portions of this liability are included in deferred revenue and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Liabilities related to acquisitions for (1) estimated contingent consideration based on expected financial performance of the acquired business and economic conditions at the time of acquisition and (2) estimated accrued compensation related to continued employment of key employees were $ 29.6 million and $ 26.9 million as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with amounts recorded in deferred revenue and other liabilities. These liabilities will be settled within the next ten years. Should actual results differ from our estimates, future payments made will differ from the above estimate and any differences will be recorded in results from continuing operations. We have contractual commitments to fund certain franchises with approved short-term lines of credit for the purpose of meeting their seasonal working capital needs. Our total obligation under these lines of credit was $ 0.4 million as of June 30, 2025, and net of amounts drawn and outstanding, our remaining commitment to fund totaled $ 0.2 million. We are self-insured for certain risks, including employer provide d medical benefits, workers' compensation, property, general liability, tax errors and omissions, and claims related to POM. These programs maintain various self-insured retentions and commercial insurance is purchased in excess of the self-insured retentions for all but POM in company-owned offices and employer provided medical benefits. We accrue estimated losses for self-insured retentions using actuarial models and assumptions based on historical loss experience. We have a deferred compensation plan that permits certain employees to defer portions of their compensation and accrue income on the deferred amounts. Included in deferred revenue and other liabilities is $ 9.0 million and $10.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, reflecting our obligation under this plan. Emerald Advance® term loans are originated by Pathward® N.A. (Pathward). We purchase participation interests, at par, in all EAs originated by Pathward in accordance with our participation agreement. Our participation interest varies by jurisdiction. During fiscal year 2025, our purchased participation interests represented 87% of total EA volume originated by Pathward. See note 4 for additional information about these balances. Refund Advance loans are originated by Pathward and offered to certain assisted U.S. tax preparation clients, based on client eligibility as determined by Pathward. We pay fees primarily based on loan size and customer type. We have provided a guarantee up to $18.0 million related to certain loans to clients prior to the IRS accepting electronic filing. We accrued an estimated liability of $2.2 million at June 30, 2025 related to this guarantee. As of June 30, 2024 we had $ 1.4 million accrued under the Refund Advance guarantee agreement, and we paid $ 2.6 million, net of recoveries, related to that guarantee during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. We offer POM to U.S. and Canadian clients, whereby we (1) represent our clients if they are audited by a taxing authority, and (2) assume the cost, subject to certain limits, of additional taxes owed by a client resulting from errors attributable to H&R Block. The additional taxes paid under POM have a cumulative limit of $ 6,000 for U.S. clients and $ 3,000 CAD for Canadian clients with respect to the federal, state/provincial and local tax returns we prepared for applicable clients during the taxable year protected by POM. A loss on POM would be recognized if the sum of expected costs for services exceeded unearned revenue. 58 2025 Form 10-K | H&R Block, Inc. NOTE 11: LEASES O ur lease costs and other information related to operating leases consisted of the following: (dollars in 000s) Year ended June 30, 2025 2024 2023 Operating lease costs $ 244,127 $ 242,372 $ 238,899 Variable lease costs 93,216 88,629 85,239 Subrental income ( 464 ) ( 508 ) ( 575 ) Total lease costs $ 336,879 $ 330,493 $ 323,563 Cash paid for operating lease costs $ 239,792 $ 239,292 $ 236,423 New operating right of use assets and related lease liabilities $ 293,190 $ 266,970 $ 253,755 Weighted-average remaining operating lease term (years) 3 3 2 Weighted-average operating lease discount rate 5.0 % 5.0 % 4.1 % Aggregate operating lease maturities as of June 30, 2025 are as follows: (in 000s) 2026 $ 230,102 2027 166,425 2028 102,033 2029 45,036 2030 19,309 2031 and thereafter 11,898 Total future undiscounted operating lease payments 574,803 Less imputed interest ( 42,753 ) Total operating lease liabilities $ 532,050 NOTE 12: LITIGATION AND OTHER RELATED CONTINGENCIES We are a respondent in numerous litigation and arbitration matters, arising both in the ordinary course of business and otherwise, including as described below. The matters described below are not all of the lawsuits or arbitrations to which we are subject. In some of the matters, very large or indeterminate amounts, including punitive damages, may be sought. Various jurisdictions and arbitration forums permit considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages or other relief. The jurisdictions or forums may permit claimants not to specify the monetary damages sought or may permit claimants to state only that the amount sought is sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction or forum. In addition, the jurisdictions or forums may permit claimants to allege monetary damages in amounts well exceeding reasonably possible verdicts in the jurisdiction or forum for similar matters. We believe that the monetary relief which may be specified in a lawsuit or arbitration matter bears little relevance to its merits or disposition value due to this variability in pleadings and our experience in handling and resolving numerous claims over an extended period of time. The outcome of a matter and the amount or range of potential loss at particular points in time may be difficult to ascertain. Among other things, uncertainties can include how fact finders will evaluate documentary evidence and the credibility and effectiveness of witness testimony, and how courts and arbitrators will apply the law. Disposition valuations are also subject to the uncertainty of how opposing parties and their counsel will view the relevant evidence, circumstances, and applicable law. In addition to litigation and arbitration matters, we are also subject to other loss contingencies arising out of our business activities, including as described below. We accrue liabilities for litigation, arbitration, and other related loss contingencies and any related settlements when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If a range of loss is estimated, and some amount within that range appears to be a better estimate than any other H&R Block, Inc. | 2025 Form 10-K 59 amount within that range, then that amount is accrued. If no amount within the range can be identified as a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the minimum amount in the range. For such matters where a loss is believed to be reasonably possible, but not probable, or the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, no accrual has been made. It is possible that such matters could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures or accrue liabilities in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated as of June 30, 2025. While the potential future liabilities could be material in the particular quarterly or annual periods in which they are recorded, based on information currently known, we do not believe any such liabilities are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business and our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024 our total accrued liabilities were $ 6.2 million and $ 7.2 million, respectively. Our estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses includes (1) matters where a liability has been accrued and there is a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued for that liability, and (2) matters where a liability has not been accrued but we believe a loss is reasonably possible. This aggregate range only represents those losses as to which we are currently able to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss. It does not represent our maximum loss exposure. Matters for which we are not currently able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss are not included in this range. We are often unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss until developments in such matters have provided sufficient information to support an assessment of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, such as precise information about the amount of damages or other remedies being asserted, the defenses to the claims being asserted, discovery from other parties and investigation of factual allegations, rulings by courts or arbitrators on motions or appeals, analyses by experts, or the status or terms of any settlement negotiations. The estimated range of reasonably possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, as well as known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. As of June 30, 2025, we believe the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts accrued, where the range of loss can be estimated, is not material. At the end of each reporting period, we review relevant information with respect to litigation, arbitration and other related loss contingencies and update our accruals, disclosures, and estimates of reasonably possible loss or range of loss based on such reviews. Costs incurred with defending matters are expensed as incurred. Any receivable for insurance recoveries is recorded separately from the corresponding liability, and only if recovery is determined to be probable and reasonably estimable. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in the various matters described in this note, and we intend to defend them vigorously. The amounts claimed in the matters are substantial, however, and there can be no assurances as to their outcomes. In the event of unfavorable outcomes, it could require modifications to our operations; in addition, the amounts that may be required to be paid to discharge or settle the matters could be substantial and could have a material adverse impact on our business and our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. We have received and are responding to certain governmental inquiries, class actions, and mass arbitrations relating to the IRS Free File Program and other aspects of our DIY tax preparation services, including the use of pixels. An accrual related to these matters is included in our loss contingency accrual. We are from time to time a party to litigation, arbitration, and other loss contingencies not discussed herein arising out of our business operations. These matters may include actions by state attorneys general, other state regulators, federal regulators, individual claimants, and cases in which claimants seek to represent others who may be similarly situated. While we cannot provide assurance that we will ultimately prevail in each instance, we believe the amount, if any, we are required to pay to discharge or settle these other matters will not have a material adverse impact on our business and our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. 60 2025 Form 10-K | H&R Block, Inc. NOTE 13: SEGMENT INFORMATION We provide assisted and DIY tax preparation solutions through multiple channels (including in-person, online and mobile applications, virtual, and desktop software) and distribute H&R Block-branded services and products, including those of our bank partners, to the general public primarily in the U.S., Canada and Australia. We report a single segment that includes all of our continuing operations. The majority of our revenues are from our U.S. tax services business. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is our chief executive officer, who regularly reviews consolidated financial information to evaluate financial performance and allocate resources. Specifically, the CODM uses revenues, operating expenses, net income and EBITDA at a consolidated level, as key financial metrics in deciding how to reinvest to grow the business through our strategic imperatives of Block Experience, Financial Products and Small Business. These financial metrics are used by the CODM to make operating decisions and identify growth opportunities. The measure of segment assets is total consolidated assets as presented on the consolidated balance sheet. H&R Block, Inc. | 2025 Form 10-K 61 The following table presents the significant revenue and expense categories included in the segment's net income from continuing operations as regularly provided to the CODM on a consolidated basis and then reconciled to net income for the years ended June 30, 2025 , 2024 and 2023: Consolidated – Financial Results (in 000s, except per share amounts) Year ended June 30, 2025 2024 2023 Revenues: U.S. tax preparation and related services: Assisted tax preparation $ 2,413,229 $ 2,274,835 $ 2,167,138 Royalties 192,877 204,802 210,631 DIY tax preparation 383,738 349,812 314,758 Refund Transfers 137,526 142,249 143,310 Peace of Mind® Extended Service Plan 87,326 93,087 95,181 Tax Identity Shield® 29,920 33,386 38,265 Emerald Card® and Spruce SM 72,888 76,093 84,651 Interest and fee income on Emerald Advance® 28,958 40,933 47,554 International 246,993 247,123 235,131 Wave 109,222 96,472 90,314 Other 58,318 51,555 45,252 Total revenues $ 3,760,995 $ 3,610,347 $ 3,472,185 Compensation and benefits: Field wages 927,360 869,002 841,742 Other wages 306,999 298,819 273,850 Benefits and other compensation 250,729 228,723 220,530 1,485,088 1,396,544 1,336,122 Occupancy 438,868 432,461 428,167 Marketing and advertising 285,800 277,747 286,255 Depreciation and amortization 116,827 121,784 130,501 Bad debt 74,584 91,523 60,401 Other 531,858 485,011 482,041 Total operating expenses 2,933,025 2,805,070 2,723,487 Other income (expense), net 31,546 36,125 35,492 Interest expense on borrowings (78,113) (79,080) (72,978) Income from continuing operations before income taxes 781,403 762,322 711,212 Income taxes 171,953 164,359 149,412 Segment net income from continuing operations $ 609,450 $ 597,963 $ 561,800 Reconciliation of segment profit: Reconciling items: Net loss from discontinued operations ( 3,677 ) (2,646) (8,100) Net income $ 605,773 $ 595,317 $ 553,700 ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE There were no disagreements or reportable events requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 304(b) of Regulation S-K. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES – We have established disclosure controls and procedures (Disclosure Controls) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure Controls 62 2025 Form 10-K | H&R Block, Inc. are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Disclosure Controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusions of two or more people or by management override of the control. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective, maturing control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operations of our Disclosure Controls. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. (b) MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING – Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025 based on the criteria established in "Internal Control – Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), using the 2013 framework. Based on our assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria set forth by COSO. The Company's external auditors that audited the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 , Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, have issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. This report appears near the beginning of Item 8 . (c) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING – During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, there were no changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION During the three months ended June 30, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

19.1 H&R Block Insider Trading Policy 1. General The H&R Block, Inc. Insider Trading Policy (this “ Policy ”) governs the handling of material, nonpublic information regarding H&R Block, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “ Company ” or “ we ”) or other companies with which we deal, and with the buying, selling, and engaging in other transactions (such as purchasing derivative securities, whether or not issued by the Company) involving or related to stock and other securities of the Company and those other companies. Federal securities laws prohibit trading in securities of a company on the basis of material “inside” information and also prohibit providing material, nonpublic information to other persons who may trade on the basis of that information. Anyone who violates these laws is subject to personal liability, criminal penalties, and disciplinary action by the Company. We take seriously our obligation, and that of our associates, officers, and directors, to prevent insider trading violations and have established this Policy to assist all of us in complying with our obligations. This Policy does not replace your personal responsibility to understand and comply with the legal prohibition on insider trading. Please contact our Securities Compliance Officer (see Section 3.10 below) if you have specific questions regarding this Policy or applicable law. 2. Applicability 2.1 Persons Subject to the Policy . This Policy applies to all officers and associates of the Company and members of the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, we expect all consultants and contractors to the Company who receive or have access to “Material Nonpublic Information” (as defined in Section 2.3 below) regarding the Company to learn and support this Policy as well. All these individuals, members of their immediate families and members of their households are referred to in this Policy as “Insiders.” This Policy also applies to any person who receives Material Nonpublic Information from any Insider or any entity controlled by any Insider. Any person who possesses Material Nonpublic Information regarding the Company is an Insider for so long as the Material Nonpublic Information is not publicly known. In addition, the Company will comply with applicable law in trading in Company-Related Securities. 2.2 Securities Subject to the Policy. This Policy applies to all transactions in the Company’s securities, including common stock, options for common stock, debt securities, and other securities the Company may issue from time to time, as well as derivative securities relating to the Company’s stock, whether or not issued by the Company, such as exchange-traded options. This Policy also applies to stock, debt securities, and other securities of companies with whom we deal. Securities to which this Policy applies are referred to in this Policy as “ Company-Related Securities .” 2.3 Material Nonpublic Information. 2.3.1 Material Information . Information is considered “material” if there is a reasonable likelihood that an investor would consider it important in making an investment decision regarding the purchase or sale of securities. Although it is not possible to define all categories of material information, some examples of information that may be regarded as material depending upon the circumstances are: • Undisclosed financial results • Projections of future earnings or losses, or other earnings outlook, including changes to, or the decision to suspend or withdraw, previously announced earnings outlook • Significant undisclosed operating metrics, such as the number or mix of tax returns prepared • Significant pending or proposed mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or joint ventures • A significant Company restructuring or recapitalization • Impending bankruptcy or financial liquidity problems • Gain or loss of substantial customers or a significant supplier or partner • Changes in dividend policy or stock repurchase program implementation • Significant product or service developments or announcements or other major marketing changes • Significant changes in the Company's pricing or cost structure • Stock splits or dividends • Bank borrowings or other financing transactions out of the ordinary course of business, including pending or proposed equity or debt offerings • Changes in debt ratings • Litigation exposure due to actual or threatened litigation or settlements or other resolutions • The occurrence or suspected occurrence of a significant cybersecurity incident or other significant privacy violations or issues • Significant developments regarding regulatory issues or government agency investigations, inquiries, proceedings, or reviews • Information regarding franchise operations, including a significant sale or purchase of franchise operations • Significant write-downs in assets or increases in reserves • Changes in senior management • The imposition of a ban on purchasing or selling, or engaging in any other transactions involving, Company-Related Securities Both positive and negative information may be material. Historical information as well as information which is forward-looking or subject to change may be material. With respect to a future event, such as a merger, acquisition, or introduction of a new product or service, the point at which negotiations or product or service development are deemed to be material is determined by balancing the probability that the event will occur against the magnitude of the effect the event would have on a company's operations or stock price should it occur. When in doubt about whether particular information is material, contact the Securities Compliance Officer. 2.3.2 Nonpublic information . Information is “nonpublic” until it has been published in a way that provides broad, non-exclusionary distribution to the public (“ public disclosure ”) and one full trading day has elapsed following the release of the information. Examples of public disclosure include the filing of a current report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) or the issuance of a widely disseminated press release. 3. Statement of Policy 3.1 Trading on Material Nonpublic Information . No Insider may purchase, sell, or execute any other transaction involving Company-Related Securities when the Insider is aware of Material Nonpublic Information concerning the Company until at least one full trading day has elapsed after the public disclosure of the information. One full trading day following public disclosure will have elapsed when, after the public disclosure, trading in the security has opened for trading and then closed. 3.2 Unauthorized Disclosure of Material Nonpublic Information. Insiders may not disclose Material Nonpublic Information regarding the Company or another company with whom we deal to any other person (including family members) if the information may be used by that person to his or her benefit by engaging in transactions involving securities of companies to which the information relates. Additionally, an Insider may not make recommendations or express opinions concerning transactions involving Company-Related Securities, regardless of whether the Insider is aware of Material Nonpublic Information, except for activities that are a regular part of the Insider’s responsibilities and are consistent with applicable laws. 3.3 Prohibited Transactions; Hedging, Margin Accounts, and Pledged Securities. Insiders may not, at any time, trade in any puts, calls, covered calls, or other derivative products involving Company-Related Securities, or engage in any hedging or monetization transactions with respect to Company-Related Securities, including “cashless collars,” forward sale contracts, equity swaps, or any other similar instruments. Insiders may not, at any time, hold Company-Related Securities in a margin account or otherwise pledge Company-Related Securities as collateral for a loan, except that Insiders may engage in broker-assisted exercises or settlements of equity awards granted by the Company that may involve an extension of credit, but only until the sale is settled. 3.4 Confidentiality of Nonpublic Information. No person other than those authorized by executive management of the Company may disclose nonpublic information pertaining to the Company, regardless of whether or not such information is Material Nonpublic Information. 3.5 Blackout Periods. 3.5.1 Financial Results . The following individuals may not purchase or sell, or engage in any other transactions involving, Company-Related Securities or enter into a “ Trading Plan ” (as defined in Section 3.8 below) during the period beginning on the first day following the end of each fiscal quarter and ending after one full trading day has elapsed following the release of financial results for the relevant fiscal quarter: (a) members of the Board of Directors, (b) all Company associates at the vice president level or above, (c) those associates, consultants, and contractors whom the Securities Compliance Officer of the Company has determined are directly involved in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements (or have access to information from those financial statements while they are being prepared), and (d) such other persons as the Securities Compliance Officer, in consultation with the Chief Legal Officer, may designate from time to time. One full trading day following the release of financial results will have elapsed when, after the release, trading in the security has opened for trading and then closed. 3.5.2 Tax Season Blackout . “ Tax Season Insiders ” means (a) members of the Board of Directors, (b) all U.S. regular (non-seasonal) Company associates, other than such associates that the Securities Compliance Officer determines do not have Material Nonpublic Information pertaining to operations or financial results of the Company’s individual income tax return preparation business (the “ Tax Business ”), and (c) such other persons as the Securities Compliance Officer, in consultation with the Chief Legal Officer, may designate from time to time. Tax Season Insiders may not purchase or sell, or engage in any other transactions involving, Company-Related Securities or enter into a Trading Plan during the period commencing on the date that the Internal Revenue Service opens electronic filing for the relevant tax season and ending after one full trading day has elapsed following the day when the Company announces preliminary results for the Tax Business for the applicable tax season. One full trading day following the announcement of results for the Tax Business will have elapsed when, after the release, trading in the security has opened for trading and then closed. Tax Season Insiders should plan their transactions involving Company-Related Securities in advance to occur outside of the tax season blackout. The Company will notify Tax Season Insiders of their status as Tax Season Insiders on an annual basis. 3.5.3 Event-Specific Trading Restriction Periods . From time to time, an event may occur that is material to the Company and is known by only a few members of the Board of Directors, officers, or associates. So long as the event remains material and nonpublic, the persons designated by the Securities Compliance Officer may not purchase or sell, or engage in any other transactions involving, Company-Related Securities or enter into a Trading Plan. In addition, the Company’s financial results may be sufficiently material in a particular fiscal quarter that, in the judgment of the Securities Compliance Officer, designated persons should refrain from purchasing or selling, or engaging in any other transactions involving, Company-Related Securities or entering into a Trading Plan outside of the typical blackout periods described above. In that situation, the Securities Compliance Officer may notify these persons that they should not purchase or sell, or engage in any other transactions involving, Company-Related Securities or enter into a Trading Plan, without disclosing the reason for the restriction. The existence of an event-specific trading restriction period or extension of a blackout period will not be announced to the Company as a whole and should not be communicated to any other person. Even if the Securities Compliance Officer has not designated you as a person who should not purchase or sell, or engage in any other transactions involving, Company-Related Securities or enter into a Trading Plan due to an event-specific restriction, you should not purchase or sell, or engage in any other transactions involving, Company-Related Securities or enter into a Trading Plan while aware of material nonpublic information. Exceptions will not be granted during an event-specific trading restriction period. 3.6 Pre-clearance of Trades. Members of the Board of Directors, executive officers of the Company whom the Board of Directors have designated as “Section 16 Officers” (“Section 16 Officers”), all Company associates at the vice president level or above, and any other person designated by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, must obtain clearance from the Securities Compliance Officer prior to purchasing or selling, or engaging in any other transactions involving, Company-Related Securities or entering into a Trading Plan. For any member of the Board of Directors, Section 16 Officer, or other member of the Company’s senior leadership team, the Securities Compliance Officer will contact the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Legal Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer to discuss material developments involving the Company prior to providing clearance. The Securities Compliance Officer will carefully review pre-clearance requests to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and policies, and persons required to make such requests should plan their transactions involving Company-Related Securities in advance to mitigate against the possibility of a pre-clearance request being denied. Persons required to obtain clearance are also encouraged to clear all transactions involving Company-Related Securities with their own personal legal advisor. 3.7 Section 16 Compliance. Members of the Board of Directors and Section 16 Officers must comply with the federal securities laws pertaining to transactions by Section 16 officers and directors (“Section 16 Insiders”) set forth in Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and related regulations. The Company will provide Section 16 Insiders separate materials regarding its Section 16 compliance program, including the Company’s Section 16 Compliance Policy. 3.8 Trading Plans. The prohibitions on the purchase or sale of, or other transactions involving, securities set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.3 of this Policy, the black-out periods described in Section 3.5 of this Policy, and the pre-clearance requirement of Section 3.6 of this Policy do not apply to any purchase or sale pursuant to a binding contract, instruction, or written plan described in Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) (a “ Trading Plan ”) that has been approved by the Company. Trading Plans are subject to the additional guidelines set forth in the Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan Addendum attached to this Policy. 3.9 Additional Permitted Transactions. In addition, such prohibitions and requirements do not apply to certain routine, on-going transactions generally beyond the Insider’s immediate control such as: • the receipt of stock options, restricted stock, restricted share units, performance share units, market stock units, deferred stock units, or any other securities issued or awarded under one of the Company’s stock option or long-term compensation plans (such awards, “ LTI Awards ”); • the purchase of securities under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan so long as the election to participate in the plan or the election to increase or decrease a contribution in the plan was not made when the Insider was aware of Material Nonpublic Information; • the vesting of LTI Awards; • the exercise of a tax withholding right with respect to LTI Awards (except stock options) pursuant to which the underlying award agreement requires the Company to withhold shares of stock to satisfy tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of the award; • the automatic purchase of shares (but not purchases of shares with voluntary optional payments) through a dividend reinvestment plan; • payroll contributions to a 401(k) or similar plan (but not (i) intra-plan transfers or other transactions causing funds to transfer in or out of a Company common stock fund or (ii) a change in “investment direction” under the plan to increase or decrease a percentage investment contribution allocated to a Company common stock fund) so long as the election to direct contributions to a Company common stock fund, if applicable, was not made when the Insider was aware of Material Nonpublic Information; • the acquisition or disposition of shares or share units in deferred compensation plans (but not (i) intra-plan transfers or other transactions causing funds to transfer in or out of a Company stock unit account or (ii) a change in “investment direction” under the plan to increase or decrease a percentage investment contribution allocated to a Company stock unit account) so long as the election to direct deferred compensation to a Company stock unit account was not made when the Insider was aware of Material Nonpublic Information; or • the acquisition or disposition of Company-Related Securities in a stock split, stock dividend, or other transaction affecting all stockholders equally. 3.10 Administration of Policy. This Policy will be administered by the Securities Compliance Officer. The Securities Compliance Officer is generally the Corporate Secretary of the Company (CorporateSecretary@hrblock.com). Questions concerning this Policy should be directed to the Securities Compliance Officer. 3.11 Individual Responsibility. Each Insider is individually responsible for complying with this Policy and applicable laws and regulations, and this Policy does not replace an Insider’s individual responsibility to understand and comply with the legal prohibition on insider trading. All Insiders should use their best judgment in transactions involving Company-Related Securities and should consult with their legal advisors before executing any transactions involving Company-Related Securities. Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan Addendum I. Introduction Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides helpful protection to associates and directors of public companies from insider trading liability under Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1 for transactions executed under a previously established contract, plan, or instruction (referred to in the Policy as “ Trading Plans ”). These rules and guidelines are to be followed in connection with Trading Plans for Company-Related Securities adopted by Company officers and associates and members of the Board of Directors (the “ Executives ”). Executives are not required to enter into a Trading Plan to purchase or sell Company-Related Securities (unless a trade will occur during a blackout period, as described in Section 3.5 of the Policy), but such Executives will be entitled to an affirmative defense to insider trading allegations if they effect trades under a Trading Plan that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10b5-1. These rules and guidelines are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the requirements and conditions of Rule 10b5-1. Moreover, the Company's designated broker may impose requirements on Executives in addition to those disclosed below. The Securities Compliance Officer will interpret and administer these rules and guidelines. You should also consult your personal advisor before entering into, modifying, or terminating any Trading Plan. In addition, the Company will comply with applicable law in connection with entering into, modifying, or terminating any Trading Plan. II. Rules & Guidelines 1. Pre-Approval by the Company . Prior to going into effect, any Trading Plan must be approved by the Securities Compliance Officer. The Trading Plan must be entered into with the Company's designated broker, and the form of the Trading Plan must be substantially in the form approved by the Company. Any modifications to a Trading Plan and any terminations of a Trading Plan must also be pre-approved by the Securities Compliance Officer. Note that any actual transactions effected pursuant to a pre-approved Trading Plan will not be subject to pre-clearance procedures for transactions in Company-Related Securities. 2. Trading Windows . Trading Plans may only be entered into by an Executive during an "open window period" (i.e., when any blackout period described in Section 3.5 of the Policy is not in effect) and during a time in which the Executive is not aware of Material Nonpublic Information. Any Trading Plan modifications, to the extent permissible, must be adopted only during an open window period and at a time in which the Executive is not aware of Material Nonpublic Information. Once adopted in an open window period, the Trading Plan may effectuate transactions outside of an open window period in accordance with its written terms. 3. Cooling-Off Periods . For Executives who are members of the Board of Directors or Section 16 officers, the period of time between the establishment of a Trading Plan, or any modification of a Trading Plan, and the commencement of sales thereafter must be the later of: (i) 90 days after the adoption (or modification) of the Trading Plan; and (ii) two business days following the disclosure of the Company’s financial results in a periodic report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter in which the Trading Plan was adopted or modified, but in no event will such period exceed 120 days following the establishment or modification of a Trading Plan. For Executives who are not members of the Board of Directors or Section 16 officers, the period of time between the establishment of a Trading Plan, or any modification of a Trading Plan, and the commencement of sales thereafter must be at least 30 days. 4. Director and Officer Certifications . The Trading Plan must include a certification by such Executive stating that, on the date of the adoption of the Trading Plan, such Executive is: (i) not aware of any material non-public information about the Company or its securities; and (ii) adopting the Trading Plan in good faith and not as a part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5. 5. Good Faith . Executives must act in good faith with respect to the Trading Plan throughout the duration of such plan. 6. Trades Outside of a Trading Plan . While an Executive has a Trading Plan in effect, such Executive may not trade Company-Related Securities outside the scope of the Trading Plan, except for transactions that have been pre-cleared by the Securities Compliance Officer and transactions expressly permissible under Section 3.9 of the Policy. 7. Duration . A Trading Plan should be no shorter than six months in duration and no longer than one year. 8. Prohibition on Multiple Plans . Executives may not have in place more than one Trading Plan (covering Company-Related Securities) at a time. 9. Restrictions on Single-Trade Plans . Executives may not enter into more than one single-trade plan during any consecutive 12-month period. 10. Modifications . Trading Plan modifications should be made sparingly and, if made at all, must be (i) pre-approved by the Securities Compliance Officer, (ii) made at a time when the Executive is not aware of Material Nonpublic Information, and (iii) made during an open window period. Any cancellation of trades under a Trading Plan will be deemed a modification of such Trading Plan. Any trades under the modified Trading Plan will be subject to the cooling-off period specified in Section II.3. of these guidelines. 11. Voluntary Terminations . Voluntary Trading Plan terminations by an Executive should only be done in rare circumstances and only after (i) careful consideration with the Executive's advisors, and (ii) receiving pre-approval from the Securities Compliance Officer. If an Executive voluntarily terminates a Trading Plan, the Executive must wait an appropriate time before adopting a subsequent Trading Plan, which can only be done during an open window period, when the Executive is not aware of Material Nonpublic Information, and following pre-approval by the Securities Compliance Officer. 12. Automatic Termination or Suspension . The Trading Plan may be automatically suspended in certain circumstances, such as (i) if any sale violates, or in the opinion of Company counsel, is likely to violate, applicable law, and (ii) to comply with any lock-up agreement in connection with a securities offering. 13. Suspension at the Request of the Company . The Trading Plan provides that it will be terminated or suspended if the Company determines such action to be in the best interest of the Company. A-2 14. Other Compliance Matters . Any Trading Plan should provide for compliance with Rule 144, Section 16, Schedule 13D/G and any other rules applicable to the Executive. Any Form 4, Form 5 and Form 144 should disclose that the sale is made pursuant to a Trading Plan. 15. Disclosure . The Company will publicly disclose that an Executive has adopted a Trading Plan, made Trading Plan modifications, or terminated a Trading Plan, and will include disclosure regarding the material terms of any such Trading Plan in its filings with the SEC as required by applicable law. Questions concerning these guidelines should be directed to the Securities Compliance Officer. A-3 Document Exhibit 97 H&R BLOCK, INC. POLICY FOR THE RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION 1. Purpose . The purpose of this Policy is to describe certain circumstances in which Executive Officers will be required to repay or return Erroneously Awarded Compensation to the Company Group. Each Executive Officer shall sign an acknowledgement or other agreement pursuant to which such Executive Officer will agree to be bound by, and comply with, this Policy. 2. Administration . This Policy shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration of this Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is intended that this Policy be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any applicable rules or standards adopted by the SEC or the NYSE, and, to the extent this Policy is in any manner deemed inconsistent with such rules or standards, this Policy shall be treated as retroactively amended to be compliant with such rules or standards. Any determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding on all affected individuals and need not be uniform with respect to each individual covered by this Policy. In the administration of this Policy, the Committee is authorized and directed to consult with the full Board or such other committees of the Board, such as the Audit Committee, as may be necessary or appropriate as to matters within the scope of such other committee's responsibility and authority, and is authorized to retain or obtain the advice of any compensation consultant, legal counsel, or other advisor as the Committee deems appropriate in its discretion. Subject to any limitation at applicable law, the Committee may authorize and empower any officer or employee of the Company to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Policy (other than with respect to any recovery under this Policy involving such officer or employee). 3. Definitions . For purposes of this Policy, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth below. (a) “ Accounting Restatement ” means an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial restatements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. For the avoidance of doubt, an out-of-period adjustment, in which an error is immaterial to the previously issued financial statements and the correction of the error is also immaterial to the current period, shall not constitute an Accounting Restatement. (b) “ Board ” means the Board of Directors of the Company. (c) “ Clawback Eligible Incentive Compensation ” means, in connection with an Accounting Restatement and with respect to each individual who served as an Executive Officer at any time during the applicable performance period for any Incentive-based Compensation (whether or not such Executive Officer is serving at the time the Erroneously Awarded Compensation is required to be repaid to the Company Group), all Incentive-based Compensation Received by such Executive Officer (i) on or after the Effective Date, (ii) after appointment as an Executive Officer, (iii) while the Company has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or a national securities association, and (iv) during the applicable Clawback Period. (d) “ Clawback Period ” means, with respect to any Accounting Restatement, the three completed fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the Restatement Date and any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) of less than nine months within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years. For purposes of this Policy, a transition period between the last day of the Company's previous fiscal year end and the first day of its new fiscal year that comprises a period of nine to twelve months will be deemed a completed fiscal year. (e) “ Committee ” means the Compensation Committee of the Board. (f) “ Company ” means H&R Block, Inc., a Missouri corporation. (g) “ Company Group ” means the Company, together with each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. (h) “ Effective Date ” means October 2, 2023. (i) “ Erroneously Awarded Compensation ” means, with respect to each Executive Officer in connection with an Accounting Restatement, the amount of Clawback Eligible Incentive Compensation that exceeds the amount of Incentive-based Compensation that otherwise would have been Received had it been determined based on the restated amounts, computed without regard to any taxes paid. For the avoidance of doubt, Erroneously Awarded Compensation does not include compensation Received prior to the Effective Date. (j) “ Executive Officer ” means (i) each individual who is or was designated as an “officer” of the Company in accordance with 17 C.F.R. 240.16a-1(f); and (ii) such additional members of the Company’s senior leadership team as may be designated by the Committee. Executive Officer for purposes of this Policy includes, at a minimum, executive officers identified pursuant to 17 C.F.R. 229.401(b). Subsequent changes in an Executive Officer’s employment status, including retirement or termination of employment, do not affect the Company’s rights to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation pursuant to this Policy. (k) “ Financial Reporting Measure ” means any measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements (GAAP), and any other measure that is derived wholly or in part from such measure, including non-GAAP financial measures. For the avoidance of doubt, a Financial Reporting Measure need not be presented in the Company’s financial statements or included in a filing with the SEC. Stock price and total shareholder return shall, for purposes of this Policy, each be considered a Financial Reporting Measure. (l) “ Incentive-based Compensation ” means any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure. (m) “ NYSE ” means the New York Stock Exchange. (n) “ Policy ” means this Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time. (o) “ Received ” means actual or deemed receipt, and Incentive-based Compensation shall be deemed received in the Company’s fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-based Compensation award is attained, even if payment or grant of the Incentive-based Compensation occurs after the end of that period. For the avoidance of doubt, Incentive-based Compensation that is subject to both a Financial Reporting Measure vesting condition and a service-based 2 vesting condition shall be considered Received when the relevant Financial Reporting Measure is achieved, even if the Incentive-based Compensation continues to be subject to the service-based vesting condition. (p) “ Restatement Date ” means the earlier to occur of (i) the date the Board, a committee of the Board, or the officers of the Company authorized to take such action if Board action is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, or (ii) the date a court, regulator, or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement, in each case regardless of if or when the restated financial statements are filed. (q) “ SEC ” means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 4. Repayment of Erroneously Awarded Compensation . (a) In the event of an Accounting Restatement, the Committee shall reasonably promptly determine the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation for each Executive Officer in connection with such Accounting Restatement and shall reasonably promptly thereafter provide each Executive Officer with a written notice containing the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation and a demand for repayment or return, as applicable. Recovery under this Policy with respect to an Executive Officer shall not require the finding of any misconduct by such Executive Officer or such Executive Officer being found responsible for the accounting error leading to an Accounting Restatement. For Incentive-based Compensation based on (or derived from) stock price or total shareholder return where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in the applicable Accounting Restatement, the amount shall be determined by the Committee based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive-based Compensation was Received (in which case, the Company shall maintain documentation of such determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the NYSE). (b) The Committee shall have broad discretion to determine the appropriate means of recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on all applicable facts and circumstances and taking into account the time value of money and the cost to shareholders of delaying recovery, which methods of recovery need not be applied on a consistent basis; provided in any case that any such method provides for reasonably prompt recovery and otherwise complies with any requirements of the NYSE. To the extent that the Committee determines that any method of recovery (other than repayment by the Executive Officer in a lump sum in cash or property) is appropriate, the Company shall offer to enter into a repayment agreement (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Committee) with the Executive Officer. If the Executive Officer fails to sign the repayment agreement within thirty (30) days after such offer is extended, the Executive Officer will be required to repay the Erroneously Awarded Compensation in a lump sum in cash. For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in Section 4(d) below, in no event may the Company Group accept an amount that is less than the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation in satisfaction of an Executive Officer’s obligations hereunder. (c) To the extent that an Executive Officer fails to repay all Erroneously Awarded Compensation to the Company Group when due, the Company shall, or shall cause one or more other members of the Company Group to, take all actions reasonable and appropriate as may be determined by the Committee to recover such Erroneously Awarded Compensation from the applicable Executive Officer, which may include, by way of example, the forfeiture of unvested Incentive-based Compensation, the forfeiture of unvested time-based equity or cash incentive compensation awards, the forfeiture of benefits under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, withholding of dividends, and the offset of all or a 3 portion of the amount of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation against other compensation payable to the Executive Officer. (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to take the actions contemplated by this Section 4 if the following conditions are met and the Committee determines that recovery would be impracticable: (i) The direct expenses paid to a third party to assist in enforcing the Policy against an Executive Officer would exceed the amount to be recovered, after the Company has made a reasonable attempt to recover the applicable Erroneously Awarded Compensation, documented such attempts, and provided such documentation to the NYSE; (ii) Recovery would violate home country law where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022; provided that, before determining that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on violation of home country law, the Company has obtained an opinion of home country counsel, acceptable to the NYSE, that recovery would result in such a violation, and a copy of the opinion has been provided to the NYSE; or (iii) Recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company Group, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a)and regulations thereunder. 5. Reporting and Disclosure . The Company shall file all disclosures with respect to this Policy in accordance with the requirements of the federal securities laws, including disclosures required by applicable SEC filings. 6. Indemnification Prohibition . No member of the Company Group shall be permitted to indemnify any Executive Officer or former Executive Officer against (a) the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation that is repaid, returned or recovered pursuant to the terms of this Policy, or (b) any claims relating to the Company Group’s enforcement of its rights under this Policy. Further, the Company is prohibited from paying or reimbursing an Executive Officer for purchasing insurance to cover any such loss. No member of the Company Group shall enter into any agreement that exempts any Incentive-based Compensation from the application of this Policy or that waives the Company Group’s right to recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation and this Policy shall supersede any such agreement (whether entered into before, on or after the Effective Date). 7. Effective Date . This Policy shall be effective as of the Effective Date. 8. Amendment ; Termination . The Committee may unilaterally amend this Policy from time to time in its discretion and shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary, including as and when it determines that it is legally required by any federal securities laws, SEC rule, or the rules of any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the Company’s securities are listed. The Committee may terminate this Policy at any time. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, no amendment or termination of this Policy shall be effective if such amendment or termination would (after taking into account any actions taken by the Company contemporaneously with such amendment or termination) cause the Company to violate any federal securities laws, SEC rule, or the rules of any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the Company’s securities are listed. 9. Other Recoupment Rights ; No Additional Payments; Company Claims . The Committee intends that this Policy will be applied to the fullest extent of the law. The Committee may require that any employment agreement, equity award agreement, or any other agreement entered into on or after the Effective Date shall, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, require an Executive Officer to 4 agree to abide by the terms of this Policy and any such agreement may be unilaterally amended by the Company to comply with this Policy. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the Company Group under applicable law, regulation or rule or pursuant to the terms of any similar policy or other provision in any employment agreement, equity award agreement, or similar agreement and any other legal remedies available to the Company Group. Nothing contained in this Policy, and no recoupment or recovery as contemplated by this Policy, shall limit any claims, damages or other legal remedies the Company or any of its affiliates may have against an Executive Officer arising out of or resulting from any actions or omissions by the Executive Officer. 10. Successors . This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Executive Officers and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives. 11. Severability . The provisions of this Policy are intended to be applied to the fullest extent of the law. To the extent that any provision of this Policy is found to be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law, such provision shall be applied to the maximum extent permitted, and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to conform to any limitations required under applicable law. 12. Governing Law; Interpretation . The Committee is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration of this Policy. Except to the extent preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Missouri, as amended from time to time, shall govern the construction and application of this Policy. All references to statutory sections shall include the section so identified, as amended from time to time, or any other statute of similar import and all applicable rule and regulations promulgated thereunder. 5 Document Subsidiaries of the Registrant Exhibit 21 Entity Name Domestic Jurisdiction Aculink Mortgage Solutions, LLC Florida AcuLink of Alabama, LLC Alabama Ada Services Corporation Massachusetts Adora Technologies Holding Aon Unlimited Company Ireland BCB Technology Unlimited Company Ireland Block Financial LLC Delaware Blue Acre SCS Luxembourg Blue Fountains International, ULC Alberta Blue Fountains LLC Bermuda Companion Insurance, Ltd.

Mason Tiffany L. Mason Chief Financial Officer H&R Block, Inc. August 15, 2025 Document Exhibit 4.12 DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK The following is a brief description of the common stock, without par value, of H&R Block, Inc., a Missouri corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), which is the only security of the Company registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The brief description is based upon our amended and restated articles of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws, and provisions of applicable law. The following description does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of our amended and restated articles of incorporation (our “articles”) and amended and restated bylaws (our “bylaws”), which we have filed as exhibits to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein. GENERAL The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 800,000,000 shares of common stock, without par value, and 6,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value, 1,200,000 shares of which have been designated as Participating Preferred Stock, and 500,000 shares of which have been designated as Delayed Convertible Preferred Stock. COMMON STOCK Voting Rights The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on any matter to be voted upon by shareholders. The holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election. Dividends The holders of our common stock are entitled to such dividends as our Board of Directors may declare from time to time from legally available funds, subject to limitations under Missouri law and the preferential rights of the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Liquidation Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share, on a pro rata basis, in all assets remaining after payment to creditors and subject to prior distribution rights granted to the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. No Preemptive or Similar Rights Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights, conversion or other rights to subscribe for additional securities and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. Fully Paid and Non-assessable All of the outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. 1 PREFERRED STOCK Our Board of Directors is authorized, without any further action by our shareholders, but subject to the limitations imposed by The General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri (the “MGBCL”), to issue up to 6,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series. Our Board of Directors may fix the rights, preferences and privileges of the preferred stock, along with any limitations or restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges, and liquidation preferences of each class or series of preferred stock. The preferred stock could have voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of holders of our common stock. Also, the issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of our common stock. CERTAIN EFFECTS OF AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED STOCK We may issue additional shares of common stock or preferred stock without shareholder approval, subject to applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange and Missouri law, for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public or private offerings to raise capital, corporate acquisitions, and employee benefit plans and equity grants. The existence of unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock may enable us to issue shares to persons who are friendly to current management, which could discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, or otherwise. ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF PROVISIONS OF OUR ARTICLES AND BYLAWS The following is a brief description of the provisions in our articles and bylaws that could have an effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company. Size of Board Our articles and bylaws provide that the number of directors shall not be less than seven nor more than twelve, the exact number of which to be fixed by a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of our whole Board of Directors. Director Vacancies Our articles and bylaws provide that any vacancies on our Board of Directors and newly created directorships will be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Advance Notice for Shareholder Proposals and Nominations Our bylaws contain provisions requiring advance notice be delivered to the Company of any business to be brought by a shareholder before an annual meeting and providing for procedures to be followed by shareholders in nominating persons for election to our Board of Directors, including shareholder nominees to be included in our proxy statement. A shareholder must give notice no later than the 90 th day nor earlier than the 120 th days before the one-year anniversary of the date on which we held our annual meeting of shareholders the previous year. The notice must contain the information required by our bylaws, and the shareholder(s) and nominee(s) must comply with the information and other requirements required by our bylaws. 2 No Cumulative Voting Our bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting for our directors. The absence of cumulative voting may make it more difficult for shareholders owning less than a majority of our common stock to elect any directors to our Board. Limitations on Liability of Directors; Indemnification of Directors and Officers Missouri law authorizes corporations to limit the personal liability of directors to corporations and shareholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties. Our articles and bylaws limit, to the fullest extent permitted by Missouri law, the liability of our directors to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided that the foregoing does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director who has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 351.355.1 or 351.355.2 of the MGBCL.
