H&R Block Inc.: Regulator Rescinds Reserve Requirement

Wall Street Journal (05/12/08) P. A12
The Office of Thrift Supervision recently rescinded a mandate that H&R Block Inc. retain a 3-percent tangible capital reserve. The agency acted in response to a reduction in the company's risk profile after it finalized the sale of its mortgage-servicing unit and trimmed down its debt load. The requirement made it impossible for the company to repurchase stock.
