Congratulations to David Nolan, our Chief Information Officer (CIO) & Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), on being named a finalist for the 2024 GeorgiaCISO of the Year! The ORBIE Awards honor chief information security officers who exemplify excellence in technology leadership - a mission David fulfills every day at The Aaron’s Company. At the recent awards ceremony in Atlanta, David was joined by his wife, Katie Nolan, along with John Eric Simmons, Deputy CISO, Steve Olsen, President, and Rachel George, EVP, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary, Chief Compliance Officer, and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer. We are proud of David’s nomination and grateful for the ways his leadership empowers our customers, team members, and information security landscape. Reflecting on his achievement, David shared, “I really have been able to achieve what I have by surrounding myself with amazing people and mentors. The stellar teams I have had the pleasure of leading and working with have taught me that you can solve anything with creativity and challenging the status quo. I’ve been blessed with some of the industry’s best leaders and mentors to help me on my journey, and they’ve imparted lessons and insights that have allowed me to put my best foot forward.” When asked, “Who is your rock that you would be light years behind without their support?” David added, “We don't often take the time to highlight those who are the support structure for our success. However, I couldn't do any of it without my amazing wife, Katie Nolan. She is definitely the rock that makes all my endeavors possible.” Those smiles say it all! Congratulations, David, on this well-deserved recognition. #LifeAtAarons #YouBelongAtAarons #ORBIE #GeorgiaCISO #InfoSec #Innovation #Leadership

🐾 Giving back has never been so rewarding! 🐾 Our Internal Audit team recently spent a day volunteering at Furkids, a beloved animal rescue organization in metro Atlanta. From cleaning the cat surgical area to engaging with energetic puppies, the team rolled up their sleeves and made a difference for furry friends in need. 🐶 🐱 🥰 Amanda Fiskell, CPA, Director of Internal Audit, shared her thoughts on the day: “Our Internal Audit department had a rewarding day at Furkids, where we contributed by cleaning out the cat surgical area, toured the facility, and engaged with the puppies to help manage their energy and cleanliness. Giving back to the community and supporting animal rescue is a cause that is very close to my heart. Having the entire team, including our Chief Financial Officer, Kelly Wall, together for the first time for our holiday celebration made the experience even more meaningful for everyone. We are grateful for Aaron's who allows us to prioritize giving back.” We couldn’t be prouder of our team’s commitment to making a positive impact—both at work and in our community. Thank you, Furkids Animal Rescue & Shelters, for all you do to rescue and rehome animals! #YouBelongAtAarons #AaronsGives #LifeatAarons #CommunityImpact #AnimalRescue #InternalAudit

Connecting with our communities and local leaders is key to who we are at Aaron’s. Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of hosting local legislators at our GenNext store in Douglasville, GA. This visit gave us the chance to share what makes Aaron’s unique - not just as a company, but as a community partner. We shared how our dedicated team members and community-focused initiatives impact the lives of our customers and those in the surrounding community. Thank you to our local leaders for taking the time to connect with us and learn more about our company and our mission. We are excited to continue these conversations and make an even bigger impact together! #CommunityMatters #LocalLeaders #TeamAarons #InnovationMeetsCommunity #LifeAtAarons #YouBelongAtAarons Pictured below: Aaron’s Rachael Zoreena, Aaron’s Cory Painter, Douglas County Commissioner Mark Alcarez, Douglas County Chamber Marketing Manager Bunmi Adeleke, City of Douglasville City Council Howard Estes Post 5, Jessica Eck with U.S. Rep.

In early November, our Store Support Center team got together for our annual Thanksgiving Tailgate - a perfect day to soak up the fall sunshine, enjoy amazing food and music, and connect over a friendly game of cornhole. Huge congrats to this year’s cornhole champions, Daniel Morales and Genaro Tena. Your skills were front and center, and you’ve definitely earned those bragging rights! 🏆 We were also delighted to welcome Warrick Dunn, former NFL star running back turned philanthropist. Aaron’s is very proud of our 21-year partnership with Warrick Dunn Charities, and our team was extremely excited to have him join us for the fun! Another big highlight? Our raffle in support of Operation Turkey, an awesome nonprofit that helps provide meals for people in need during the holidays. Every $7 donated covers two meals, and with a boost from the Aaron’s Foundation, we’re thrilled to donate $1,000 to support their work. 💙 Check out a few photos below from the event! #LifeAtAarons #YouBelongAtAarons #Thanksgiving #OperationTurkey

With the holiday season upon us, we’re especially thankful for our team members, our communities, our customers, and the tables where cherished memories are made. Happy Thanksgiving from Aaron’s! 🦃 #Thanksgiving #HappyHolidays #LifeAtAarons #YouBelongAtAarons

At Aaron’s, supporting our communities is a core value, and our partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America is a shining example. Recently, we had the opportunity to refresh the Teen Center at the James T. Anderson Boys & Girls Club in Marietta, GA - right in our own backyard! 💙 Our amazing team came together to update the Teen Center with new furniture, gaming systems, TVs, computers, and even a first-of-its-kind cosmetology practice room! Local teens chose every detail, from foosball tables to comfy couches, making the space truly their own. To hear more from Cory Painter, our Vice President of Strategy & Corporate Affairs, and check out the transformation, please see the video below! 🎥 #YouBelongAtAarons #BoysAndGirlsClubs #GivingBack #CommunityPartner #LifeAtAarons
