The sole purpose of this filing is to correct a typographical error in the Notice of 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Notice”) of Conn’s, Inc. (the “Company”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2023 as part of the Company’s proxy materials for its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Notice had mistakenly listed the date of the Annual Meeting as May 24, 2022 in the lead paragraph. The correct date for the Annual Meeting is May 24, 2023.
