ITEM 1.01    ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
    On April 10, 2014, BofI Federal Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BofI Holding, Inc. (“BOFI” or the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with H&R Block Bank, a federal savings bank (“HRBB”), and its parent company Block Financial LLC. Block Financial LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of H&R Block, Inc.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Bank agreed to purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities of HRBB. The assumed liabilities at closing are projected to include approximately $450 to $550 million in customer deposits of HRBB and balances on prepaid cards, including HRBB’s Emerald Cards, gift cards and incentive cards. The amount is subject to change based on such factors as the timing of the closing. Substantially all of the assets transferred to the Bank will consist of cash equal to the face amount of deposits and other liabilities transferred to the Bank at closing. The Bank will also acquire a de-minimis amount of non-cash assets at zero cost. The consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement is subject to regulatory approvals and waivers and other customary closing conditions.
Upon regulatory approval of the Agreement and concurrent with closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the Bank also intends to enter into a Program Management Agreement with Emerald Financial Services, LLC, a subsidiary of H&R Block, Inc., under which the Bank will provide H&R Block-branded financial services products through H&R Block’s retail and online channels. These products will include Emerald Prepaid MasterCard®, Refund Transfers, and Emerald Advance® lines of credit.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
