AARONS, INC. (NYSE:AAN) Files An 8-K Regulation FD DisclosureItem 7.01
John W. Robinson III, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aaron’s, Inc. (the “Company”), Steven A. Michaels, Chief Financial Officer and President of Strategic Operations of the Company, and Robert W. Kamerschen, EVP, General Counsel, Chief Administrative Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company each expect to enter into individual sales plans to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each a “10b5-1 Sales Plan”). The purpose of each of the 10b5-1 Sales Plans will be to provide investment diversification and liquidity for each of the foregoing executives as well as to assist with their overall tax and financial planning. Once executed, each sale transaction will be disclosed publically through a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, and in connection with its previously authorized share repurchase program, during calendar year 2017 the Company anticipates entering into one or more purchase plans to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each a “10b5-1 Purchase Plan”) to repurchase up to $150 million of the Company’s common stock. Because any repurchases under a 10b5-1 Purchase Plan will be subject to certain pricing parameters, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased, or that there will be any repurchases at all to any 10b5-1 Purchase Plan.
