CITY, Mo. -&#160;&#160;H&amp;R Block, Inc. (NYSE:HRB) today announced that its
wholly-owned subsidiary RSM McGladrey, Inc. (&#8220;RSM&#8221;) has reached an agreement on
terms (the &#8220;Renewal Agreement&#8221;) with McGladrey &amp; Pullen, LLP (&#8220;M&amp;P&#8221;), an
independent partner-owned public accounting firm delivering audit and attest
services. The Renewal Agreement, which was approved by a vote of the M&amp;P
partners subject to definitive documentation, will extend the current
collaboration of the two firms through an alternative practice structure until
May 1, 2015.&#160;&#160;Thereafter, the collaboration will renew automatically
for additional five-year terms absent withdrawal by either of the parties under
clearly defined circumstances.&#160;&#160;The Renewal Agreement largely retains
the existing restrictive covenants, as interpreted in a recently concluded
arbitration proceeding.</font></div>

agreement provides a stable foundation for future growth of RSM McGladrey,&#8221; said
Russ Smyth, president and chief executive officer of H&amp;R
Block.&#160;&#160;&#8220;The discussions were ultimately healthy to review the needs
of both firms and to identify how we can best manage our respective operations
to improve client service, accelerate growth initiatives, improve partner wealth
creation and increase shareholder returns while preserving and protecting the
independence of M&amp;P.&#160;&#160;We believe the real winners from this
agreement will be our clients and future clients, as the new arrangement will
facilitate taking this collaboration to an entirely new level,&#8221; added
Smyth.&#160;&#160;&#8220;We look forward to building our joint business and despite
the current economic pressures, we see enormous opportunities for the
future.&#8221;</font></div>

Renewal Agreement, the core alternative practice structure remains

that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements, as well as the
Company&#8217;s guidance, are based upon the Company&#8217;s current expectations and there

forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and speak only as of
the date on which they are made, the Company&#8217;s actual results could differ
materially from these statements. These risks and uncertainties relate to, among
other things, uncertainties regarding the ability of RSM and M&amp;P to put the
agreed terms into definitive documents; uncertainties regarding the Company&#8217;s
ability to attract and retain clients; meet its prepared returns targets;
uncertainties and potential contingent liabilities arising from our former
mortgage loan origination and servicing business; uncertainties in the
residential mortgage market and its impact on loan loss provisions;
uncertainties pertaining to the commercial debt market; competitive factors; the
Company&#8217;s effective income tax rate; litigation; uncertainties regarding the
level of share repurchases; and changes in market, economic, political or
regulatory conditions. Information concerning these risks and uncertainties is
contained in Item&#160;1A of the Company&#8217;s 2009 annual report on Form&#160;10-K
