Acquisition
On July 27, 2017, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the store operations of SEI/Aaron’s, Inc. ("SEI"), its largest franchisee, for approximately $140.0 million in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments. Those store operations currently serve more than 90,000 customers through 104 Aaron's-branded stores in 11 states primarily in the Northeast. The acquisition is expected to benefit our omnichannel platform through added scale, strengthen the Company's presence in certain geographic markets, and enhance Aaron's ability to drive inventory supply-chain synergies between the Aaron's business and Progressive Leasing in markets that SEI currently serves.
