ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

On November 3, 2021, PROG Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2021. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in this Item 2.02, as well as Exhibit 99.1 referenced herein, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On November 3, 2021, the Company also issued a press release announcing its intention to launch a “modified Dutch auction” tender offer to purchase up to $425 million in value of its common stock, or such lesser amount of shares of its common stock as are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, at an anticipated cash purchase price per share of not less than $44.00 per share and not more than $50.00 per share, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. The Company intends to commence the tender offer on November 4, 2021, expiring at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on December 3, 2021, unless the tender offer is extended or earlier terminated.

A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in this Item 7.01, as well as Exhibit 99.2 referenced herein, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act.

Neither this report nor the exhibits hereto is a recommendation to buy or sell shares of common stock or any other securities, and it is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of common stock or any other securities. On the commencement date of the tender offer, a tender offer statement on Schedule TO, including an offer to purchase, a letter of transmittal and related materials, will be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Company. The tender offer will only be made pursuant to the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and related materials filed as a part of the Schedule TO. When available, shareholders should read carefully the offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and related materials because they contain important information, including the various terms of, and conditions to, the tender offer. Once the tender offer is commenced, shareholders will be able to obtain a free copy of the tender offer statement on Schedule TO, the offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and other documents that the Company will be filing with the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or from the information agent for the tender offer.
