In applying accounting principles, we must often make individual estimates and assumptions regarding expected outcomes or uncertainties. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.</span></div>

We reserve for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. We regularly monitor developments related to these legal proceedings, and review the adequacy of our legal reserves on a quarterly basis.

The property subject to review in the audit process include unclaimed wages, vendor payments and customer refunds. State escheat laws generally require entities to report and remit abandoned and unclaimed property to the state. Failure to timely report and remit the property can result in assessments that could include interest and penalties, in addition to the payment of the escheat liability itself. We routinely remit escheat payments to states in compliance with applicable escheat laws.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Blair v. Rent-A-Center, Inc. </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">This matter was a state-wide class action complaint originally filed on March 13, 2017 in the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleged various claims, including that our cash sales and total rent to own prices exceeded the pricing permitted under California's Karnette Rental-Purchase Act. Following a court-ordered mediation on March 28, 2019, we reached an agreement in principle to settle this matter for a total of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$13 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, including attorneys’ fees. The settlement was approved by the court in October 2019. We have denied any liability in the settlement and agreed to the settlement in order to avoid additional expensive, time-consuming litigation. We recorded the pre-tax charge for this settlement in the first quarter of 2019, and the settlement amount was paid in November 2019.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Velma Russell v.

Specifically, plaintiffs sought to certify a class representing any references of customers (within the state of Massachusetts) during the 4 years prior to the filing date that were contacted by Acceptance Now more frequently during a 12 month period than is permitted by Massachusetts state law. The plaintiffs were seeking injunctive relief and statutory damages of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$25</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> per reference which may be tripled to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$75</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> per reference.

(the “Company”) received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) seeking information regarding certain transactions involving the purchase and sale of customer lease agreements, and whether such transactions violated the FTC Act. On February 21, 2020, the FTC notified the Company that it had accepted for public comment an Agreement Containing Consent Order ("Agreement"). We expect the Agreement to be finally approved by the FTC following the 30-day public comment period which commenced on February 26, 2020. This Agreement is for settlement purposes only. While not admitting any wrongdoing, the Company chose to settle the CID after many months of legal expenses and cooperating with the FTC investigation, and no fines or penalties were assessed against the Company. The settlement permits us to continue purchasing and selling customer lease agreements so long as such agreements are not contractually interdependent or contingent on a reciprocal transaction, and does not require any material changes to the Company's current business practices.
