| Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On June 17, 2020, Blucora, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it will host a bank meeting on Wednesday, June 17, 2020, for the purpose of syndicating a proposed $175,000,000 add-on to its term loan under the Company’s existing senior secured credit facility (the “Incremental Term Loan”). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan to finance its previously announced acquisition (the “HKFS Acquisition”) of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Honkamp Krueger Financial Services, Inc. (“HKFS”) and for additional working capital.
The proposed Incremental Term Loan is subject to a number of factors, including market interest and other conditions.
A copy of the press release announcing the bank meeting is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto) is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

(d) Exhibits
Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities and Litigation Reform Act
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this report, terms such as “believes,” “estimates,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “may,” “forecasts,” “projects” and similar expressions and variations as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations due to various risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to consummate the HKFS Acquisition, including our ability and HKFS’s ability to fulfill the conditions to the closing of the HKFS Acquisition on a timely basis or at all and our ability to enter into the Incremental Term Loan on favorable terms or at all in light of market interest and other conditions that are beyond our control.
A more detailed description of these and certain other factors that could affect actual results is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.
