Laurence M. Berg, a Class II director, resigned from the Board of Directors of Rent-A-Center,
Inc. (the “Board”) on March 14, 2007. Mr. Berg’s resignation was not the result of any
disagreement with the registrant on any matter relating to the registrant’s operations, policies
or practices.
To fill the vacancy created by Mr. Berg’s resignation, on March 14, 2007, the Board appointed
Jeffery M. Jackson to serve as a Class II director until the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders.
Mr. Jackson has not been, and is not expected to be, named to any committee of the Board at this
time. The Board has determined that Mr. Jackson is “independent” as defined by the listing
standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
