<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left">The Company&#8217;s relationship with H&amp;R Block represented approximately $12.0 million in net earnings during fiscal year 2017. Given the loss of this relationship, the Company is reviewing the carrying value of intangible assets for potential impairment. We preliminarily estimate a pre-tax impairment charge in the range of $9.0 to $11.0 million.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left">&#8220;We are disappointed to hear that H&amp;R Block will not be offering 2018 tax season loans through MetaBank. However, based on the current progress of negotiations with new tax partners and expanded relationships with existing tax partners, we believe we will be able to recoup a significant portion of the lost earnings associated with this program.&#8221; said J. Tyler Haahr, Chairman and CEO of Meta.</div>

 Cautions About Forward-Looking Statements</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left">This Press Release includes statements which may constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, but not limited to, statements regarding the estimated pre-tax impairment charge resulting from the non-renewal of the agreement with H&amp;R Block as well as the ability of the Company to recoup a significant portion of the lost earnings associated with this agreement.&#160; The accuracy of these statements are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied include, the risk that the pre-tax impairment charge exceeds management&#8217;s preliminary estimate or that the Company is unable to enter into agreements with new tax partners and expand relationships with existing tax partners, as currently anticipated, and the factors discussed in the Company&#8217;s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company or its subsidiaries.</div>
