Dear Fellow Shareholders,

As I write to you in this year’s proxy statement, I am honored to address you for the first time as Chairman, following my appointment in April and the transition from Bob Gerard. Bob served as Chairman for almost 14 years, and his steady leadership of the Board and thoughtful stewardship over that time have been instrumental in shaping our path. On behalf of the Board, I thank Bob for all his contributions as Chairman over the years.

I am filled with a sense of pride and anticipation for the future of our company as we prepare for another significant transition. As announced in August, Jeff Jones will soon retire as President and CEO, closing a chapter defined by strong business performance, meaningful shareholder value creation, and the connected culture with record-high associate engagement that he has fostered. His unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation has elevated our company and set a high standard for us all. Please join me in thanking Jeff for his visionary leadership, dedication, and impact.

Leadership transitions such as these create natural moments for reflection. More importantly, they provide opportunities to build on momentum. On January 1, Curtis Campbell will step into the role of President and CEO. Curtis brings deep tax industry expertise, a strong cultural fit, and a proven track record as our current President, Global Consumer Tax and Chief Product Officer. He is uniquely positioned to continue driving H&R Block’s transformation and sustainable revenue growth. His appointment reflects the Board’s ongoing commitment to a disciplined succession planning process focused on identifying the right leader for H&R Block’s next phase of growth.

Looking ahead, we remain focused on evolving, innovating, and sharpening our execution to position the company for long-term success in a dynamic marketplace. The future holds incredible promise, and I am excited to continue steering this transformation alongside our talented teams and with your invaluable support.

We invite you to join us for the 2025 Annual Meeting, which will be held virtually again this year. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting on November 5, we encourage you to vote your shares in advance through one of the options described in the Proxy Statement. On behalf of the entire Board, I want to thank you for your trust, engagement, and continued support of H&R Block as we write the next chapter of our story together.

Best regards,

Chairman of the Board
