On August 5, 2008, Conn’s, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release responding to Moody’s decision to downgrade the ratings on the three classes of its QSPE’s asset-backed notes. The notes were downgraded due to Moody’s view of the risk elements that could impact the performance of the Company’s credit program in the current economic environment. These downgrades do not result in any defaults or events of default under any of the Company’s or its QSPE’s financing facilities.
A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
