Kirby McInerney LLP Announces an Investigation of Shareholder Claims Against PROG Holdings, Inc. (PRG)

The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against PROG Holdings, Inc. (“PROG” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PRG). The investigation concerns whether PROG and/or certain of its officers have violated the federal securities laws and/or engaged in other unlawful business practices.

PROG is a holding company that provides leasing and commercial equipment finance services through its subsidiaries.

On August 25, 2022, Pennsylvania’s Attorney General filed a lawsuit against PROG’s Progressive Leasing unit for allegedly violating the Rental Purchase Agreement Act (“RPAA”), a law that requires companies to clearly disclose fees for rent-to-own financing. According to the lawsuit, agents of the Attorney General’s Office visited multiple stores across the state that use Progressive Leasing to offer rental-purchase agreement to their customers. “The investigation revealed widespread non-compliance” with the RPAA’s disclosure requirements by Progressive Leasing and its merchant partners, the Attorney General’s Office said in a statement. On this news, the price of PROG shares declined by $2.51 per share, or approximately 12.14%, from $20.67 per share to close at $18.16 on August 26, 2022.

Elrod of Kirby McInerney LLP by email at investigations@kmllp.com, or by filling out this contact form, to discuss your rights or interests with respect to these matters without any cost to you.
