Notice of Offer to Purchase for Cash

PROG Holdings, Inc.

Up to $425,000,000 in Value of its Common Stock

At a Purchase Price Not Less Than $44.00 Per Share and Not More Than $50.00 Per Share

PROG Holdings, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), hereby offers to purchase for cash up to $425,000,000 in value of shares of its issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.50 per share (the “shares”), at a price which will not be less than $44.00 per share and not more than $50.00 per share (the price as determined as provided herein, the “Purchase Price”), less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal and the other materials filed as exhibits to the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO-I (collectively, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “tender offer materials”). The terms and conditions set forth in the tender offer materials collectively constitute the “tender offer.”

THE TENDER OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXPIRE 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 (SUCH DATE AND TIME, AS THEY MAY BE EXTENDED, THE “EXPIRATION DATE”).

The tender offer is not conditioned upon the receipt of any minimum number of shares being tendered. The tender offer is, however, subject to other conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the consummation by the Company of a new debt financing prior to the Expiration Date on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company and resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $400,000,000.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer, including the provisions relating to “odd lot” priority, proration and conditional tenders described in the Offer to Purchase, the Company will determine a single per-share price that the Company will pay for shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn from the tender offer, taking into account the total number of shares tendered and the prices specified by tendering shareholders. The Company will select the lowest Purchase Price (in increments of $0.50), which will not be less than $44.00 per share and not more than $50.00 per share, that will allow it to purchase that number of shares having an aggregate purchase price of $425,000,000, or a lower amount depending on the number of shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer, if shares having an aggregate purchase price of less than $425,000,000 are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, the Company will buy all shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date. If the conditions to the tender offer have been satisfied or waived and shares having an aggregate purchase price in excess of $425,000,000, measured at the maximum price at which such shares were properly tendered, have been properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, the Company will purchase shares in the following priority:

•

first, from all holders of “odd lots” (holders of fewer than 100 shares) who properly tender all of their shares at or below the Purchase Price and do not properly withdraw them before the Expiration Date;

•

second, on a pro rata basis (with appropriate adjustments to avoid the purchase of fractional shares) from all other shareholders who properly tender shares at or below the Purchase Price and do not properly withdraw them prior to the Expiration Date, other than shareholders who tender conditionally and whose conditions are not satisfied; and

•

third, if necessary to permit the Company to purchase shares having an aggregate purchase price of $425,000,000 (or such greater amount as the Company may elect to purchase, subject to applicable law), from shareholders who have tendered shares at or below the Purchase Price subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the shareholder’s shares be purchased if any of the shareholder’s shares are purchased in the tender offer (for which the condition was not initially satisfied) by random lot, to the extent feasible. To be eligible for purchase by random lot, shareholders whose shares are conditionally tendered must have tendered all of their shares and not properly withdrawn them prior to the Expiration Date.

If shares having an aggregate purchase price of more than $425,000,000 are properly tendered in the tender offer and not properly withdrawn, the Company reserves the right to accept for purchase at the Purchase Price up to an additional 2% of our outstanding common stock without amending or extending the offer. All shares tendered and not purchased will be returned to shareholders at the Company’s expense promptly after the Expiration Date. The Company also expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to purchase additional shares of our common stock subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Assuming that the conditions to the tender offer are satisfied or waived and the tender offer is fully subscribed, if the Purchase Price per share is $44.00, the Company would purchase 9,659,090 shares and if the Purchase Price per share is $50.00 the Company would purchase 8,500,000 shares, representing approximately 14.8% and 13.0%, respectively, of its outstanding shares as of November 1, 2021. The actual number of shares outstanding immediately following completion of the tender offer will depend on the number of shares tendered and purchased in the tender offer as well as the Purchase Price for such shares. The shares are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “PRG.” Shareholders are urged to obtain current market quotations for the shares before deciding whether and at what price or prices to tender their shares.

The Company expressly reserves the right to extend the tender offer at any time and from time to time by oral or written notice to the Depositary (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) and by making a public announcement of such extension, in which event the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest time and date to which the tender offer, as so extended by the Company, shall expire. During any such extension, all shares previously tendered and not properly withdrawn will remain subject to the tender offer and to the right of the tendering shareholder to withdraw such shareholder’s shares.

Shareholders wishing to tender their shares must follow the procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase and in the Letter of Transmittal. Shareholders wishing to tender their shares but who are unable to deliver them physically or by book-entry transfer prior to the Expiration Date, or who are unable to make delivery of all required documents to the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date, may tender their shares by complying with the procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase for tendering by Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. The proration period is the period for accepting shares on a pro rata basis in the event that the tender offer is oversubscribed. The proration period will expire at the Expiration Date.
