Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Information

Together with Independent Auditors’ Report

December 31, 2019

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Members of Acima Holdings, LLC

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Acima Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Acima Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report on Supplementary Information

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The supplementary information is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

ACIMA HOLDINGS, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business<br><br>Acima Credit, LLC was organized as a limited liability company in the State of Utah on March 8, 2013 (Inception). Until January 2017, Acima Credit, LLC was named Simple RTO, LLC and did business as Simple Finance. Acima Holdings, LLC was organized as a limited liability company in the State of Utah on April 20, 2018 and owns 100% of Acima Credit, LLC, and the former ownership group of Acima Credit, LLC was effectively transferred to Acima Holdings, LLC. Acima Solutions, LLC was organized as a limited liability company in the State of Utah on December 28, 2018 and is also 100% owned by Acima Holdings, LLC.
We are required to present consolidated financial statements that include the accounts of Acima Holdings, LLC, Acima Credit, LLC, and Acima Solutions, LLC (collectively, the Company). All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Acima Holdings, LLC and Acima Solutions, LLC had essentially no activity since their inception in 2018 and through December 31, 2019.
Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, Acima Credit, LLC offers a lease/purchase program in 46 states to customers of retail stores and merchants as an alternative to traditional financing. Leased assets consist primarily of home furniture, mattresses, appliances, and automobile tires. Under the lease program, lessees enter into a lease agreement, typically with the following basic terms and conditions:<br><br><br><br>•Periodic payments in fixed amounts<br><br>•Lease-to-own term typically approximately twelve months<br><br>•Same-as-cash purchase option within 90 days<br><br>•Discounted purchase option (65% of unpaid obligation)<br><br>•Cancelable anytime
Use of Estimates<br><br>Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for uncollectable receivables and the reserve for impaired leased assets are significant estimates.
Management estimates the allowance for uncollectable receivables and the reserve for impaired leased assets using statistical methods based on historical payment behaviors, collection trends, and underwriting characteristics. We have long used these methods to underwrite and monitor our lease portfolio and we believe them to be reliable for purposes of determining the necessary allowance and reserve.
For accounts with a regularly scheduled billing that is delinquent by 120 days or more, the related receivables are either charged off as uncollectable or reduced to zero net of the allowance, and the related leased asset is either fully depreciated or reduced to zero net of the reserve.
The provision for uncollectable receivables addressed in Note 2 consists of the net change in the allowance for uncollectable receivables and the amount of all lease receivables charged off during the period. The provision for unrecoverable leased assets addressed in Note 3 consists of the net change in the reserve for impaired leased assets, which acts to temporarily accelerate depreciation.
Concentrations of Credit Risk<br><br>The Company is exposed to the credit risk associated with its leases. If the Company’s customers quit making payments as contractually provided in their lease arrangements, the related lease receivables may not be collectable, and the related net leased assets may not be recoverable. The Company is also exposed to the credit risk associated with its cash balances that either are not insured or that exceed Federally insured limits.

1.Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies<br><br>Continued Lease Portfolio Income Recognition<br><br>Lease portfolio revenues consist of revenues earned from the lease or sale of leased assets. Revenues from the lease of leased assets is earned on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, commencing once the lessee signs the lease agreement and receives the leased asset and the Company funds the lease, and ending when final payment is made. Revenues from the sale of leased assets (purchase option) is recognized upon receipt of the proceeds from sale.
Scheduled lease payments are considered receivable when billed. Lease payments received in excess of amounts billed are recognized as lessee deposits. For leases where lease revenues earned exceed the amounts billed, the excess is recognized as unbilled revenues earned. For leases where amounts billed exceed the lease revenues earned, the excess is recognized as unearned revenues billed.
The lease receivables line item in the consolidated balance sheets consists of billed and uncollected lease payments, unbilled revenues earned, and unearned revenues billed, less the allowance for uncollectable receivables. The lease liabilities line item in the consolidated balance sheets consists of lessee deposits, and sales taxes collected and held for remittance.
Servicing fees (e.g., late fees and insufficient-fund fees) and other lease income are recognized upon receipt.
Leased Assets<br><br>Leased assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and the reserve for impairment. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (generally twelve months). When leased assets are sold (purchase option) or the related accounts are settled or charged off, the remaining net cost is fully depreciated.
Direct Lease Costs<br><br>Direct lease costs consist of commissions and sales wages directly related to successful lease originations, plus the portion of processing, audit, and credit reporting costs spent on successful lease originations. Direct lease costs are capitalized with leased assets and amortized in a pattern that mirrors the depreciation of leased assets.
Intangible Assets<br><br>Intangible assets consist predominantly of the cost of developing internal-use software systems used to manage the Company’s lease operations. The cost of development deemed capitalizable under US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) is capitalized in monthly tranches, and each month’s tranche is amortized on a straight-line basis over five years, which is the estimated average useful life of new systems development before it is superseded by new development. The internal-use software systems are evaluated for impairment. Impairment loss is recognized if the net carrying amount of an internal-use software system exceeds the undiscounted sum of cash flows expected to result from its use and disposition. As of December 31, 2019, no impairment has been recognized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments<br><br>Our financial instruments include cash, receivables, payables, senior debt, and junior debt. The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, and payables approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. The interest rates on the senior debt are variable and so the carrying value approximates fair value. The junior debt is due on demand and so the carrying amount approximates fair value.
Income Taxes<br><br>As a limited liability company, taxable income or loss from the Company is allocated to its members. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

1.Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies<br><br>Continued Sales Tax<br><br>In jurisdictions that require sales tax to be levied on lease payments received from the lessee, sales tax collected from the lessee is recognized as a liability until remitted, and no sales tax expense is recognized. In jurisdictions that require sales tax to be levied on the purchase of leased assets, sales tax has been capitalized as part of the cost of the leased assets.
Prior to March 1, 2017, sales tax was paid on the purchase of leased assets in all jurisdictions. For any lease executed prior to March 1, 2017 in jurisdictions that instead require sales tax to be levied on lease payments received from the lessee, the Company did not charge the lessee sales tax on lease payments, but has instead chosen to recognize a sales tax obligation, resulting in the recognition of expense.
Reclassifications<br><br>Certain reclassifications were made to the 2017 and 2018 financial statements to conform to the presentation in the 2019 financial statements.
Subsequent Events<br><br>The Company has evaluated, for potential accounting and disclosure, events and transactions occurring after December 31, 2019 through January 14, 2021, the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
2. Lease Receivables Lease receivables consist of the following: As of<br>December 31, 2019 As of<br>December 31, 2018 As of<br>December 31, 2017

6. Borrowings<br><br>Continued ***All junior debt is unsecured and subordinated to the senior debt. In the event any payment is made on junior debt, the Company must remain in good standing with the senior debt (no event of default).
As of December 31, 2019, total borrowings come due as follows: Junior debt due on demand $ 2,500,000
--- --- ---
Senior debt due April 26, 2021 150,000,000
$ 152,500,000 7. Contingencies In the ordinary course of the Company’s operations, the Company may be subject to contingent losses as a result of claims or assessments. As of December 31, 2019, management believes no known asserted claim or assessment will have a significant effect on the financial position or operations of the Company. It is too early to determine whether any unasserted claim or assessment will have a significant effect on the financial position or operations of the Company.

8. Equity and<br><br>Equity based<br><br>Compensation The Company’s equity consists of Class A and Class B Units. There is no meaningful difference between the two classes of equity, in terms of preferences or otherwise, except that Class A Units represent capital interests and Class B Units represent profits interests. Class A Units were issued to founders and investors, and Class B Units were issued to certain key employees. As of December 31, 2019, Class A and Class B Units totaled 197,336,578 and the Company was authorized to issue additional Class B Units totaling 2,263,422.
Equity transactions consist of the following (in units): For the<br>Year Ended December 31, 2019 For the<br>Year Ended December 31, 2018 For the<br>Year Ended December 31, 2017
--- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Total number of units 197,336,578 198,336,578 193,076,578 As of December 31, 2019, the number of vested Class B Units totaled 16,481,367 with an estimated intrinsic value totaling $78 million.
---
Equity-based compensation totaled $719,824, $422,674, and $398,532 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. Unrecognized compensation totaling $875,902 from Class B Units outstanding as of December 31, 2019 (and not forfeited as of February 28, 2020) shall be recognized as follows: $507,005 in 2020, $310,611 in 2021, and $58,287 in 2022.

8. Equity and<br><br>Equity based<br><br>Compensation<br><br>Continued Class B Units held no intrinsic value on the dates they were individually issued as incentives. However, US GAAP requires that profits interests be valued at fair value, and that the fair value be recognized as compensation on a straight-line basis over the period from the issue date through completion of vesting. Class B Units issued in 2017 were valued at $111,899 in total and vest over 36 months. Class B Units issued in 2018 were valued at $1,847,106 in total and vest over 36 months. Class B Units issued in 2019 were valued at $468,704 in total and vest over 36 months.
The Class B Units issued in 2019, 2018, and 2017 were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which model is meant to estimate the price the recipients could have received if they sold their profits interests on the date they were issued. The significant inputs for the Black-Scholes option pricing model include (1) the expected volatility of the equity underlying the instrument, (2) the expected life of the instrument, (3) the risk-free interest rate, and (4) the fair value of the Company’s Class B units as of the date issued.
Management estimated the expected volatility of the Company’s equity (underlying the profits interests), ranging from 43.78% to 46.87%, by applying the actual volatility of certain public companies who do business in the lease-to-own and subprime lending industries. Management estimated the expected life of the instrument to be 2 to 3 years. Management estimated the risk-free interest rate, ranging from 1.47% to 2.60%, by applying the actual interest rate of two-year to three-year constant maturities near the date the profits interests were issued.
9. Premises Rent On February 7, 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement to rent premises in Draper, Utah for a period of 66 months. On January 21, 2016, the Company entered into a lease arrangement (later amended for additional space) to rent premises in Sandy, Utah for a period of 45 months. Minimum rents come due after December 31, 2019 as follows: Sandy Draper
--- --- --- --- --- --- ---
In the years ending December 31:
2020 $ 184,582 $ 687,405
2021 2,131,866
2022 2,195,821
2023 2,261,688
2024 2,329,529
2025 1,994,595
$ 184,582 $ 11,600,904 In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued its new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Starting in 2021, this guidance will require the Company to recognize its obligation to make future premises lease payments as a liability, and to recognize its right to use the leased premises as an asset, in the consolidated balance sheets. Currently, no premises lease liability or premises right-of-use asset is presented in the consolidated balance sheets.
--- ---
Amortization of the premises right-of-use asset shall be patterned such that, when combined with Interest accrued on the premises lease liability, the combined lease cost behaves as a single lease cost recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Currently, premises rent is already recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
10. Subsequent<br><br>Event On December 20, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Rent-A-Center (NASDAQ: RCII). Total consideration consists of $1.273 billion in cash and approximately 10.8 million shares of Rent-A-Center common stock valued at $377 million at the time of signing. Regulatory approval is required before the acquisition is closed. Regulatory approval remains outstanding as of January 14, 2021, the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

1.Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business<br><br>Acima Credit, LLC was organized as a limited liability company in the State of Utah on March 8, 2013 (Inception). Until January 2017, Acima Credit, LLC was named Simple RTO, LLC and did business as Simple Finance. Acima Holdings, LLC was organized as a limited liability company in the State of Utah on April 20, 2018 and owns 100% of Acima Credit, LLC, and the former ownership group of Acima Credit, LLC was effectively transferred to Acima Holdings, LLC. Acima Solutions, LLC was organized as a limited liability company in the State of Utah on December 28, 2018 and is also 100% owned by Acima Holdings, LLC.
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Acima Holdings, LLC, Acima Credit, LLC, and Acima Solutions, LLC (collectively, the Company). All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Acima Credit, LLC has historically held all lease activity and continues to hold all merchant point-of-sale lease activity. Acima Solutions, LLC took over all merchant ecommerce lease activity in 2020. Acima Holdings, LLC has essentially no activity.
Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, Acima Credit, LLC offers a lease/purchase program in 46 states to customers of retail stores and merchants as an alternative to traditional financing. Leased assets consist primarily of home furniture, mattresses, appliances, and automobile tires. Under the lease program, lessees enter into a lease agreement, typically with the following basic terms and conditions:<br><br><br><br>•Periodic payments in fixed amounts<br><br>•Lease-to-own term typically approximately twelve months<br><br>•Same-as-cash purchase option within 90 days<br><br>•Discounted purchase option (65% of unpaid obligation)<br><br>•Cancelable anytime
Use of Estimates<br><br>Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for uncollectable receivables and the reserve for impaired leased assets are significant estimates.
Management estimates the allowance for uncollectable receivables and the reserve for impaired leased assets using statistical methods based on historical payment behaviors, collection trends, and underwriting characteristics. We have long used these methods to underwrite and monitor our lease portfolio and we believe them to be reliable for purposes of determining the necessary allowance and reserve.
For accounts with a regularly scheduled billing that is delinquent by 120 days or more, the related receivables are either charged off as uncollectable or reduced to zero net of the allowance, and the related leased asset is either fully depreciated or reduced to zero net of the reserve.
The provision for uncollectable receivables addressed in Note 2 consists of the net change in the allowance for uncollectable receivables and the amount of all lease receivables charged off during the period. The provision for unrecoverable leased assets addressed in Note 3 consists of the net change in the reserve for impaired leased assets, which acts to temporarily accelerate depreciation.
Concentrations of Credit Risk<br><br>The Company is exposed to the credit risk associated with its leases. If the Company’s customers quit making payments as contractually provided in their lease arrangements, the related lease receivables may not be collectable, and the related net leased assets may not be recoverable. The Company is also exposed to the credit risk associated with its cash balances that either are not insured or that exceed Federally insured limits.

1.Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies<br><br>Continued Lease Portfolio Income Recognition<br><br>Lease portfolio revenues consist of revenues earned from the lease or sale of leased assets. Revenues from the lease of leased assets is earned on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, commencing once the lessee signs the lease agreement and receives the leased asset and the Company funds the lease, and ending when final payment is made. Revenues from the sale of leased assets (purchase option) is recognized upon receipt of the proceeds from sale.
Scheduled lease payments are considered receivable when billed. Lease payments received in excess of amounts billed are recognized as lessee deposits. For leases where lease revenues earned exceed the amounts billed, the excess is recognized as unbilled revenues earned. For leases where amounts billed exceed the lease revenues earned, the excess is recognized as unearned revenues billed.
The lease receivables line item in the consolidated balance sheets consists of billed and uncollected lease payments, unbilled revenues earned, and unearned revenues billed, less the allowance for uncollectable receivables. The lease liabilities line item in the consolidated balance sheets consists of lessee deposits, and sales taxes collected and held for remittance.
Servicing fees (e.g., late fees and insufficient-fund fees) and other lease income are recognized upon receipt.
Leased Assets<br><br>Leased assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and the reserve for impairment. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (generally twelve months). When leased assets are sold (purchase option) or the related accounts are settled or charged off, the remaining net cost is fully depreciated.
Direct Lease Costs<br><br>Direct lease costs consist of commissions and sales wages directly related to successful lease originations, plus the portion of processing, audit, and credit reporting costs spent on successful lease originations. Direct lease costs are capitalized with leased assets and amortized in a pattern that mirrors the depreciation of leased assets.
Intangible Assets<br><br>Intangible assets consist predominantly of the cost of developing internal-use software systems used to manage the Company’s lease operations. The cost of development deemed capitalizable under US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) is capitalized in monthly tranches, and each month’s tranche is amortized on a straight-line basis over five years, which is the estimated average useful life of new systems development before it is superseded by new development. The internal-use software systems are evaluated for impairment. Impairment loss is recognized if the net carrying amount of an internal-use software system exceeds the undiscounted sum of cash flows expected to result from its use and disposition. Through September 30, 2020, no impairment has been recognized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments<br><br>Our financial instruments include cash, receivables, payables, senior debt, and junior debt. The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, and payables approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. The interest rates on the senior debt are variable and so the carrying value approximates fair value. The junior debt is due on demand and so the carrying amount approximates fair value.

1.Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Income Taxes<br><br>As a limited liability company, taxable income or loss from the Company is allocated to its members. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the financial statements.
Continued Sales Tax<br><br>In jurisdictions that require sales tax to be levied on lease payments received from the lessee, sales tax collected from the lessee is recognized as a liability until remitted, and no sales tax expense is recognized. In jurisdictions that require sales tax to be levied on the purchase of leased assets, sales tax has been capitalized as part of the cost of the leased assets.
Prior to March 1, 2017, sales tax was paid on the purchase of leased assets in all jurisdictions. For any lease executed prior to March 1, 2017 in jurisdictions that instead require sales tax to be levied on lease payments received from the lessee, the Company did not charge the lessee sales tax on lease payments, but has instead chosen to recognize a sales tax obligation, resulting in the recognition of expense.
Subsequent Events<br><br>The Company has evaluated, for potential accounting and disclosure, events and transactions occurring after September 30, 2020 through January 14, 2021, the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
2. Lease Receivables Lease receivables consist of the following: As of<br>September 30, 2020 As of<br>September 30, 2019

On February 17, 2021, Rent-A-Center, Inc. (“Rent-A-Center) consummated the acquisition of Acima Holdings, LLC (“Acima”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 20, 2020, by and among Rent-A-Center, Radalta, LLC, a Utah limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Rent-A-Center, Acima, and Aaron Allred, solely in his capacity as the Member Representative (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Radalta, LLC merged with and into Acima, with Acima surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Rent‑A‑Center (the “Merger”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and explanatory notes presented below show the impact of such acquisition, together with related financing transactions consummated by Rent‑A‑Center concurrent therewith (collectively, the “Transactions”), on the historical financial position and results of operations of Rent‑A‑Center and Acima.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 are based on the individual historical consolidated financial statements of Rent-A-Center and Acima, respectively, included in Rent‑A‑Center’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the Current Report on Form 8‑K filed by Rent‑A‑Center on February 23, 2021, all of which financial statements are incorporated herein by reference. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2020 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2019.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Final Rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses,” using the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been adjusted to include accounting policy alignment adjustments, transaction accounting adjustments and other transaction accounting adjustments, which reflect the application of the accounting required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), linking the effects of the Transactions listed below to the pro forma consolidated financial statements.

The pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflect the following:

•the Transactions and changes in assets and liabilities to record the estimates

of their respective fair value in accordance with purchase accounting;

•changes in depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the fair

value adjustments to the identifiable net tangible assets and amortizable intangible

assets of Acima in the Transactions;

•changes in indebtedness incurred in connection with the Transactions;

•certain transaction fees and debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the

Transactions;

•changes in interest expense resulting from the Transactions, including amortization of

debt issuance costs;

•changes in stock-based compensation expense resulting from the Transactions;

•estimates of the effect of the above adjustments on deferred income tax

assets, liabilities and related expense; and

•the equity impact of the Transactions and the corresponding elimination of historical equity balances of Acima.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and reflects estimates and certain assumptions that Rent-A-Center believes is reasonable under the circumstances. Actual adjustments may differ materially from the information presented herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what the results of operations or financial condition would have been had the Transactions actually occurred on the dates indicated, nor do they purport to project the results of operations or financial condition for any future period or as of any future date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited historical financial statements and related notes of each of Rent-A-Center and Acima included in the Form 8-K filed on February 23, 2021 or incorporated by reference in this filing. Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the realization of any expected operating efficiencies or other synergies that may result from the Transactions as a result of planned initiatives following the completion of the Transactions.

Notes to unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information

Note 1 - Basis of pro forma presentation

The Merger will be accounted for as an acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) which requires the allocation of purchase consideration to the fair value of the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon consummation of a business combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 have been derived by aggregating Rent-A-Center’s audited and unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and the audited and unaudited historical financial statements of Acima.

The preliminary purchase price for the Merger is listed below, subject to certain closing adjustments. The purchase price includes $1.22 billion in cash, net of cash acquired of $25.4 million, and 2.6 million shares of Rent-A-Center common shares issued in exchange for outstanding Class A and Class B units of Acima. These Rent-A-Center common shares included in the purchase price are issued to non-Acima employees and are subject to certain transfer restrictions post-Merger pursuant to the Lock-up Agreement. These Rent-A-Center shares subject to the Lock-up Agreement will be released from their transfer restrictions over a period of 18 months, in three tranches each in 6-month intervals after the closing date of the Merger. As each tranche of common shares is released based on the terms of the Lock-up Agreement, the fair value of the Rent-A-Center common shares issued at closing of the Merger have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the respective lockup periods. As part of the Transactions, Rent-A-Center issued approximately 8 million shares to Acima employees that are subject to certain vesting conditions over a 36-month period and thus have been excluded from the purchase price and instead are accounted for post-Merger as stock-based compensation expense subject to ASC Topic 718, “Stock-based Compensation” (“ASC 718”).

The purchase price allocated below has been developed based on preliminary estimates of fair value using the historical financial statements and information of Acima as of September 30, 2020. In addition, the allocation of the purchase price to acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities is based on the valuation of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by management to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The purchase price and purchase price allocation are presented as follows:

All values are in US Dollars.

1 The estimated fair value of the equity consideration subject to the Lock-up Agreement has been determined based on the closing price of Rent-A-Center common stock of $51.14 on the closing date of February 17, 2021, discounted to reflect the timing of the release of the shares from the Lock-Up Agreements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations also includes certain accounting adjustments related to the Transactions, including items that will impact the combined results, such as amortization expense on acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense for Rent-A-Center shares issued as part of the Transactions.

The final allocation of the purchase price is dependent on a number of factors, including the final valuation of the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the Transactions, the final valuation of the Rent-A-Center shares issued and included in the purchase price as of the closing date and the resolution of any purchase price adjustments pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the final purchase price allocation and acquisition accounting may change upon the receipt of additional and more detailed information, and such changes could result in a material change to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The acquisition accounting and related depreciation and amortization reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been made solely for the purpose of preparing these statements and may change upon the receipt of additional and more detailed information. Such changes could result in a material change to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations includes certain financing adjustments related to the Credit Agreement, dated February 17, 2021, among Rent-A-Center, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “ABL Credit Facility”), the term loan credit agreement, dated February 17, 2021, among Rent-A-Center, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Term Loan Facility”) and the $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2029 issued on February 17, 2021 (the “Unsecured Notes), each of which has an effect on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations do not include the impacts of any

revenue, cost or other operating synergies that may result from the Transactions or any related restructuring costs.

Acima’s accounting policies have been conformed to those of Rent-A-Center based upon currently available information and assumptions management believes to be reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statement of operations have been adjusted to reflect these changes as further described in Note 3 - Accounting policy alignment adjustments.

We are not aware of any other material differences between the accounting policies of the two companies, except for the adjustments described in Note 3 - Accounting policy alignment adjustments and the adjustments described in Note 2 - Reclassifications to reclassify certain balances presented in the historical financial statements of Acima to conform their presentation to that of Rent-A-Center. Additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies, when conformed, could have a material impact on these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

Note 5 - Other transaction accounting pro forma adjustments

Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020:

(l) As part of the acquisition of Acima, Rent-A-Center incurred approximately $1.49 billion in new debt financing. This debt consisted of three individual debt arrangements: (i) the ABL Credit Facility, (ii) the Term Loan Facility and (iii) the Unsecured Notes. Such debt had an assumed blended weighted average interest rate of 5.0% as of February 17, 2021, the closing date of the Merger. These financing arrangements were used to pay the aggregate cash component of the merger consideration, settle Acima’s pre-existing debt obligations of $152.5 million, and settle Rent-A-Center’s pre-existing debt obligations of $190.6 million, net of unamortized issuance discount and debt issuance costs of $7.4 million.

As of September 30, 2020
(Dollars in thousands)
Proceeds from the ABL Credit Facility $ 165,000
Proceeds from the Term Loan Facility 875,000
Proceeds from the Unsecured Notes 450,000
