(the “Company”) is a leading technology-enabled, omnichannel provider of lease-to-own and retail purchase solutions of appliances, electronics, furniture and other home goods across its brands: Aaron's, BrandsMart U.S.A., BrandsMart Leasing, and Woodhaven. Aaron's offers a direct-to-consumer lease-to-own solution through its approximately 1,260 Company-operated and franchised stores in 47 states and Canada, as well as its e-commerce platforms. BrandsMart U.S.A. is one of the leading appliance and consumer electronics retailers in the southeast United States and one of the largest appliance retailers in the country with ten retail stores in Florida and Georgia. BrandsMart Leasing offers lease-to-own solutions to customers of BrandsMart U.S.A. Woodhaven is the Company's furniture manufacturing division. The Company is filing this Form SD ("Form SD") pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule") for the reporting period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 (the "Reporting Period").

The Company manufactures or contracts to manufacture “products” that may contain certain “conflict minerals” (as defined below) that are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. Form SD defines “conflict minerals” as: (i)(a) columbite-tantalite (or coltan, the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted), (b) cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted), (c) gold and (d) wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted), or their derivatives; or (ii) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the U.S. Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, the “Covered Countries”).

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

In accordance with the Rule and Form SD, the Company has conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the conflict minerals included in its products during the Reporting Period to determine whether any of such conflict minerals originated in the Covered Countries and/or whether any of such conflict minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources.

In accordance with the Rule, the Company has filed this Form SD and the associated Conflict Minerals Report, each of which are posted to the Company's publicly available internet site at https://investor.aarons.com/financials/sec-filings/. The content on any website referred to in this Form SD is not incorporated by reference into this Form SD unless expressly noted.

The content on, or accessible through, any website referred to in this Form SD is not incorporated by reference into this Form SD unless expressly noted.
