Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed, on October 4, 2021, Green Dot Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it was unable to consummate the proposed sale (the “Sale Transaction”) of substantially all of the assets and operations of the Tax Refund Solutions business of Republic Bank & Trust Company (“Republic”) to the Company, resulting in the termination of the Sale Transaction and the Company’s payment to Republic of a termination fee of $5 million in January 2022. In connection with the termination of the Sale Transaction, as previously disclosed, Republic filed a claim against the Company in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Litigation”), asserting that the Company had breached the definitive agreement for the Sale Transaction. On June 3, 2022, the parties to the Litigation agreed to settle the Litigation in exchange for a $13 million payment from the Company to Republic (which amount is exclusive of the $5 million termination fee paid in January 2022).
