NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against PROG Holdings, Inc. (“PROG” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PRG). The investigation concerns whether PROG and/or certain of its officers have violated federal securities laws and/or engaged in other illegal business practices.

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

On August 25, 2022, the Pennsylvania Attorney General filed a lawsuit against PROG’s Progressive Leasing unit for alleged violations of the Rent-to-Purchase Agreement (“RPAA”), a law that requires companies to clearly disclose fees for hire-to-own financing. According to the lawsuit, agents from the attorney general’s office visited several stores across the state that use progressive leasing to offer hire-purchase agreements to their customers. “The investigation found widespread non-compliance” with the RPAA’s disclosure requirements by Progressive Leasing and its trading partners, the attorney general’s office said in a statement. As a result of this news, the price of PROG shares fell $2.51 per share, or approximately 12.14%, from $20.67 per share to a closing price of $18.16 on August 26, 2022.
