CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain oral and written statements made by Aaron’s, Inc. (the “Company” or “Aaron's”) about future events and expectations,
including statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For those statements we claim the protection of the safe harbor provisions
for forward-looking statements contained in such section. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical facts but
are based on management’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding our future economic performance, taking
into account the information currently available to management.
Generally, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “would,” and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements. All statements which address operating performance, events or developments
that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, including growth in store openings, franchises awarded, market share and
statements expressing general optimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s
historical experience and the Company’s present expectations or projections. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from any forward-looking statements include changes in general economic conditions, competition, pricing,
customer demand, litigation and regulatory proceedings and those factors discussed in the Risk Factors section of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors.
The above mentioned risk factors are not all-inclusive. Given these uncertainties and that such statements speak only as of the
date made, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly
or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or
otherwise.
