Explanatory Note
Rent-A-Center, Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed effective March 1, 2019 (the “Original Form 10-K”), solely to correct an administrative error in the content of Exhibit 23.1, Consent of KPMG LLP (the “Consent”). The Consent in the Original Form 10-K incorrectly identified the date of the reports of KPMG LLP included in the Original Form 10-K. A new consent with the corrected date is filed as Exhibit 23.1 attached hereto.
Except as otherwise expressly noted herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify or update in any way the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or other disclosure in, or exhibits to, the Original Form 10-K, nor does it reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), this Amendment No. 1 also contains new certifications pursuant to Sections 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 1 does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(d) The following exhibits are being filed herewith:
Exhibit No.
