<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Engaged Capital
Flagship Master Fund, LP (together with its affiliates, &ldquo;Engaged Capital&rdquo; or &ldquo;we&rdquo;) and the participants
in this solicitation are the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 8,983,609 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the &ldquo;Common Stock&rdquo;), of Rent-A-Center, Inc., a Delaware corporation (&ldquo;Rent-A-Center&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;),
representing approximately 16.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For the reasons set forth in the attached Proxy Statement,
we believe meaningful changes to the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) are necessary
in order to ensure that the Company is being run in a manner consistent with your best interests. We are seeking your support
for the election of our three (3) nominees at the annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held on Thursday, June 8, 2017,
at 8:00 a.m. local time (including any adjournments or postponements thereof and any meeting which may be called in lieu thereof,
the &ldquo;Annual Meeting&rdquo;), at a location to be determined by the Company.<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"><SUP>1
</SUP></FONT>We are seeking representation on the Board because we believe that the Board will benefit from the addition of directors
with relevant skill sets and a shared objective of enhancing value for the benefit of all Rent-A-Center stockholders. The individuals
that we have nominated are highly-qualified, capable and ready to serve the stockholders of Rent-A-Center.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Our interests are
fully aligned with the interests of all Rent-A-Center stockholders. We believe that there is significant value to be realized
at Rent-A-Center. However, we are concerned that the Board is not taking the appropriate actions to address the Company&rsquo;s
continuing underperformance. Given the Company&rsquo;s financial and stock price underperformance under the oversight of the current
Board, we strongly believe that the Board must be reconstituted to ensure that the interests of the stockholders, the true owners
of Rent-A-Center, are appropriately represented in the boardroom, and that the Board takes the necessary steps to help the Company&rsquo;s
stockholders realize maximum value for their investment. Collectively, our nominees bring not only significant operating experience
in the rent-to-own industry, but a strong track record of creating stockholder value. The Company has a classified Board, which
is currently divided into three (3) classes. The terms of three (3) Class II directors expire at the Annual Meeting. We are seeking
your support at the Annual Meeting to elect our nominees in opposition to three (3) of the Company&rsquo;s director nominees for
the class with terms ending in 2020. Your vote to elect our nominees will have the legal effect of replacing three (3) incumbent
directors with our nominees. If elected, our nominees will constitute a minority on the Board and there can be no guarantee that
our nominees will be able to implement the actions that they believe are necessary to unlock stockholder value.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">We urge you to
carefully consider the information contained in the attached Proxy Statement and then support our efforts by signing, dating and
returning the enclosed <B>BLUE</B> proxy card today. The attached Proxy Statement and the enclosed <B>BLUE</B> proxy card are
first being furnished to the stockholders on or about April 20, 2017.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">If you have already
voted for the incumbent management slate, you have every right to change your vote by signing, dating and returning a later dated
<B>BLUE</B> proxy card or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.&nbsp;</P>

                                         February 14, 2017, Engaged Capital issued a public letter (the &ldquo;February Letter&rdquo;)
                                         to the Board calling on the Board to immediately commence a strategic alternatives review
                                         process. In the February Letter, Engaged Capital raised its concerns with the continued
                                         destruction of stockholder value and the Board&rsquo;s apparent lack of urgency to remedy
                                         the situation, noting the 26% decline in share price since Engaged Capital privately
                                         sent the December Letter. Engaged Capital expressed its belief that the Company&rsquo;s
                                         over 75% decline in share price from its value above $35 a little over two years ago
                                         is largely attributed to poor corporate governance practices, self-inflicted operating
                                         mistakes and a perceived misalignment of interests between the Board and stockholders.
                                         Engaged Capital made clear that it intends to continue to maintain a constructive dialogue
                                         with the Board, but is fully prepared to nominate a competing slate of director candidates
                                         at the Annual Meeting if necessary. Also on February 14, 2017, Engaged Capital filed
                                         an amendment to its Schedule 13D disclosing the December Letter and the February Letter.</TD></TR></TABLE>

CHANGE TO</B><BR>
<B>RENT-A-CENTER&rsquo;S BOARD IS NEEDED <U>NOW</U></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">Engaged Capital has conducted
extensive due diligence on the Company. In doing so, we have carefully analyzed the Company&rsquo;s operating and financial performance
as well as the competitive landscape in the rent-to-own (&ldquo;RTO&rdquo;) industry in which it operates. For over seven months,
we have maintained an ongoing dialogue with the Company&rsquo;s Board and management team to discuss our concerns and the opportunities
that we believe are available to create value for the benefit of all Rent-A-Center stockholders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">Specifically, we believe poor
operational execution has resulted in significant value destruction for Rent-A-Center stockholders. As a result, the share price
has materially declined and we believe the Company is now significantly undervalued. Furthermore, we are concerned that the incumbent
directors who have overseen this material stockholder value destruction are unwilling to objectively evaluate all alternatives
for restoring stockholder value, including a potential sale of the Company. Instead, we fear the incumbent directors may be putting
their self-interests ahead of those of stockholders. The Board appears dead-set on pursuing a public market turnaround strategy
without engaging in discussions with all credible buyers. We believe a public market turnaround strategy carries significant risk
and may not prove to be the optimal path to restoring stockholder value. We believe the incumbent directors are culpable for both
the historical stock price underperformance and the apparent unwillingness to fully and fairly evaluate opportunities that may
prove to be in stockholders&rsquo; best interests. As a result, we are led to believe there are significant corporate governance
failures within the boardroom at Rent-A-Center.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">Despite our sincere efforts
to engage constructively with representatives of the Company, we have been continuously disappointed by the Board&rsquo;s lack
of substantive action, which heightens our concerns that members of the Board may be satisfied with the status quo or are beholden
to certain special interests inside the current boardroom. We therefore believe that urgent change to the Board is needed. We
are soliciting your support to elect our Nominees at the Annual Meeting, who together will bring an unbiased owner&rsquo;s mentality
into the boardroom, relevant industry experience, financial, strategic and transactional expertise, and sorely needed new insights
and fresh perspectives.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: center"><B>Why We Were Attracted to
the RTO Industry</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">We were attracted to the RTO
industry because we believe the business model, specifically the leasing and collections functions, provides a competitive moat
around the business compared to the secular pressures felt by almost all areas of the retail sector. In addition, RTO businesses
have the potential to generate substantial cash flow. We believe the defensible nature of the RTO business model, when properly
managed, should protect owners from material downside volatility.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">We believe that publicly traded
RTO businesses are generally undervalued when taking into consideration the sustainability of cash flows and the natural defensibility
of the business model. The complexity of the RTO model, straddling both retail and consumer finance, can make it difficult for
public market investors to understand. The (incorrect) impression that RTO businesses are sub-prime lenders further penalizes
valuation in the public markets. Thus, the existence of only two public companies in the RTO industry combined with the unique
aspects of the business model, make the space susceptible to being misunderstood by investors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">Finally, we believe the brick
and mortar RTO industry in the U.S. is mature and, while highly cash flow generative, is unlikely to drive the level of earnings
growth that public market investors tend to reward. Understanding this, Rent-A-Center&rsquo;s management and Board have diverted
attention away from its Core U.S. business and invested significant capital into its third-party RTO solution, Acceptance Now.
While this strategy appeals to Wall Street&rsquo;s appetite for revenue growth, it has resulted in suboptimal returns and major
operational problems in the Company&rsquo;s Core U.S. stores, which is where we believe the majority of the Company&rsquo;s value
currently exists.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: center"><B>The Incumbent Board has Overseen
Tremendous Value Destruction</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">Since January 2015, Rent-A-Center
stockholders have seen approximately $1.4 billion of the Company&rsquo;s market capitalization disappear. Rent-A-Center&rsquo;s
share price traded above $35 at that time and has since declined by over 75% to below $9 per share.<FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%"><SUP>3
</SUP></FONT>Over that same period, the share price of Aaron&rsquo;s, Inc. (NYSE:AAN), Rent-A-Center&rsquo;s publicly traded peer,
fell by approximately 3%. The incumbent Board is soliciting your vote for three directors, each of whom has presided over this
destruction of stockholder value. We offer an alternative.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">We believe the cause of Rent-A-Center&rsquo;s
poor performance over the last three years is mostly attributed to self-inflicted operational problems that have resulted in significant
lost sales and diminished competitiveness in the marketplace. The critical operational mistakes, all carried out under the leadership
of the incumbent Board, include: the botched deployment of the Company&rsquo;s internally developed Store Information Management
System (SIMS), the failed move to a flexible store labor model (which is now being reversed) and the write-down of over $35 million
in mobile phone inventory. Due to these mistakes, adjusted EBITDA in the Core U.S. segment declined from $322 million in 2014
to $208 million in 2016, while Core U.S. same store sales in January and February of 2017 continued to decline by (11.5%) and
(16.0%), respectively.<FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%"><SUP>4</SUP></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company&rsquo;s growth initiatives
have also failed to deliver. Management has failed to drive sustainable growth and consistent profitability at Acceptance Now.
Worse yet, we believe Rent-A-Center has grown Acceptance Now by reducing rental standards, and as a result, high levels of merchandise
returns have flooded Core U.S. sales floors causing the Core stores to be competitively disadvantaged to peers.<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"><SUP>5
</SUP></FONT>In addition, Rent-A-Center has wasted material stockholder capital on its failed growth strategy in Mexico.<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"><SUP>6
</SUP></FONT>In addition, corporate expense has increased sharply. Corporate expense before depreciation, amortization, and the
write down of intangibles increased from approximately $110 million in 2012 to approximately $140 million in 2016, while revenues
were down from $3.1 billion in 2012 to $3.0 billion in 2016.<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt"><SUP>7
</SUP></FONT>We believe that a significant driver of this increase was the Company&rsquo;s use of management consultants as the
Company struggled to maintain executive talent.</P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">The issues explained above
resulted in a $1.2 billion impairment charge at the end of 2015, which forced the Board to reduce the annual dividend from $0.96
per share to $0.32 per share and further restricted the Company&rsquo;s flexibility to drive value through capital allocation.
Unfortunately, the situation has worsened as Rent-A-Center has again approached the boundaries of certain debt covenants. Further,
Rent-A-Center wrote down the remaining goodwill in the Core U.S. segment in the fourth quarter of 2016. This history of strategic
and operational failure is, in our opinion, the legacy of Rent-A-Center&rsquo;s incumbent directors.</P>

April 18, 2017</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt">It is evident to us that the significant destruction
of stockholder value that has persisted over the near and long term under the leadership of the incumbent Board warrants an overhaul
in the boardroom.</P>

<P STYLE="font: italic bold 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: center"><FONT STYLE="font-style: normal">We
are Concerned by the Company&rsquo;s Poor Corporate Governance Practices and Limitations of Stockholder Rights</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">We are concerned with the poor
corporate governance that severely limits the ability of stockholders to seek effective change at Rent-A-Center. The Board is
classified into three separate classes, meaning its directors are only subject to re-election by stockholders once every three
years. In our view, the ability of stockholders to select directors each year is an important check on the performance of the
Board and is critical in allowing stockholder input on the direction and state of the Company and ensuring the best individuals
are on the Board to oversee their investment.&nbsp; To the contrary, the Board&rsquo;s current classified structure, in our view,
impedes stockholders&rsquo; ability to regularly and effectively evaluate the performance of their directors and insulates and
entrenches the incumbents despite their apparent lapses in oversight.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">Further, stockholders are prohibited
from calling special meetings and effectively cannot act by written consent as such action must be unanimous, which in effect
means that stockholders cannot seek Board change between annual meetings. In addition, certain provisions of the Charter may only
be amended by a prohibitively high supermajority vote of 80% of all outstanding shares. We believe it is contrary to good corporate
governance practices for the Board to utilize Rent-A-Center&rsquo;s corporate machinery to insulate itself from the Company&rsquo;s
stockholders, the most recent example being the Board&rsquo;s unilateral adoption of the Poison Pill.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: center"><B>We are Concerned that the
Board is Stale and not Adequately Aligned with Stockholders</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">We nominated director candidates
because we felt we had no other choice after observing the Board&rsquo;s disinterest and now apparent hostility to what were our
private suggestions. Unfortunately, we believe the Board&rsquo;s unwillingness thus far to explore all strategic options available
is indicative of a troubling misalignment of interests between the seven incumbent directors and the Company&rsquo;s stockholders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">One need not look further than
the tenure of the Board and its share ownership. Five of seven directors have been on the Board for over ten years while two directors,
including Mr. Speese, have been on the Board for over twenty years. Despite this long tenure, according to public filings, Rent-A-Center&rsquo;s
directors collectively own less than 3% of the Company&rsquo;s outstanding shares, even when including stock options and other
equity awards that are only issuable upon a director&rsquo;s departure from the Board.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">Engaged Capital, on the other
hand, owns an approximately 20.5% economic interest in the Company. It seems apparent to us that with so little &ldquo;skin in
the game&rdquo; the Board does not have the same commitment to stockholder value as we do.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: center"><B>We are Concerned by the Outsized
Influence Mr. Speese Appears to Maintain over the Company</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">Of utmost concern is the apparent
influence of Mr. Speese, who we believe has motivations that may not be aligned with those of the Company&rsquo;s stockholders.
Our interactions with the Board thus far suggest its behavior as a whole may reflect a personal loyalty to Mr. Speese. We believe
Mr. Speese wants to see the Company remain public rather than entertain a sale to parties that may have been, or currently are,
competitors. How can we trust the Board&rsquo;s judgement if it appears unwilling to privately gauge M&amp;A interest given the
Company&rsquo;s present situation?</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">Moreover, the Company&rsquo;s
underperformance occurred most profoundly during the tenure of the previous CEO, Robert D. Davis, who was the handpicked successor
of Mr. Speese after serving as the Company&rsquo;s long-time Chief Financial Officer. Based on the Company&rsquo;s abysmal performance
during his nearly three year tenure,<FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%"><SUP>8</SUP></FONT> the selection of Mr.
Davis as CEO was clearly a mistake. Further, we believe the long-term personal relationship between Mr. Speese and Mr. Davis was
a motivating factor behind Mr. Davis&rsquo; appointment as CEO and the Board&rsquo;s reluctance to make a change prior to our
involvement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify">We believe the stockholders,
as the true owners of the Company, must have a strong voice in the boardroom, especially given the abysmal history of stockholder
returns. Such a voice promotes greater accountability and creates an environment that forces incumbent directors to consider new
thinking to positively impact stockholder value. We believe a culture focused on maximum value creation and stockholder accountability
requires placing stockholder representatives on the Board who have a significant financial commitment to the Company along with
relevant experience. This requirement ensures the proper alignment of interests between the Board and stockholders. As we see
no evidence that the incumbent Board is willing to prioritize the interests of stockholders, we believe the Board must be reconstituted
with new directors who will maintain an unquestionable allegiance to the true owners of the Company &ndash; the stockholders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: center"><B>We Believe the Most Prudent
Course of Action is to Evaluate All Strategic Alternatives</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">We believe the Company must initiate a
parallel process to evaluate all options available for creating value before blindly embarking on a public market turnaround.
The Company&rsquo;s turnaround is being led by a newly-appointed CEO and an interim CFO without the benefit of executive talent
such as a Chief Operating Officer or Chief Marketing Officer. The newly-appointed CEO, Mr. Speese, as Chairman of the Board, was
complicit in the massive destruction of stockholder value experienced by Rent-A-Center investors over the past three years. Further,
the Board has remained nearly unchanged during this period of poor performance and weak corporate governance.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">We find the Board&rsquo;s refusal to evaluate
all alternatives available to the Company simply unacceptable. It is imperative that the Board has a firm understanding of all
options before deciding on a single path forward for the Company. To date, the Rent-A-Center Board, for some reason, refuses to
discover what options are available to the Company. We believe it is possible that the Company could be sold today for a price
that compensates stockholders for much of the operational turnaround that may take years to achieve. We believe stockholders would
welcome that outcome without shouldering the volatility and risk of a multi-year turnaround. We are confident that if an objective
strategic alternatives process was initiated, numerous credible buyers would participate. The Board has simply refused to consider
even a private evaluation of strategic alternatives, and instead appears to have blindly rallied behind the wishes of Rent-A-Center&rsquo;s
Chairman and newly-appointed CEO, the same individual that selected the prior CEO and, as Chairman, oversaw the destruction of
$1.4 billion of stockholder value.</P>

QUALIFICATIONS AND COMMITMENT NECESSARY TO FULLY EXPLORE AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITIES TO UNLOCK VALUE FOR STOCKHOLDERS</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">We have identified highly-qualified directors
with relevant business and financial experience who we believe will bring fresh perspective into the boardroom and would be valuable
in assessing and executing on initiatives to unlock value at the Company. Our Nominees include one of the most experienced operators
in the RTO industry, Mitchell E. Fadel, the former President and COO of Rent-A-Center. We believe Mr. Fadel will provide credible,
objective opinions regarding the Company&rsquo;s turnaround options and an unbiased view as to the best path forward for the Company.
We also believe that Mr. Fadel would be more than qualified to replace Mr. Speese as CEO, who is up for election at the Annual
Meeting. Jeffrey J. Brown brings significant transaction and corporate governance experience from years in banking and private
equity and further having sat on eight public company boards of directors. Christopher B. Hetrick, director of research at Engaged
Capital, the Company&rsquo;s largest stockholder, brings over a decade of experience as an investor in the consumer sector. We
believe Rent-A-Center&rsquo;s poor performance under the oversight of the long-tenured incumbent Board, coupled with the Board&rsquo;s
unwillingness to explore all avenues to restore value for stockholders, merits the addition of directors whose interests are more
closely aligned with those of all stockholders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">As discussed
in further detail in the Company&rsquo;s proxy statement, the Company is asking stockholders to indicate their support for the
compensation of the Company&rsquo;s named executive officers. This proposal, commonly known as a &ldquo;say-on-pay&rdquo; proposal,
is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the Company&rsquo;s named
executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in the Company&rsquo;s proxy statement. Accordingly, the
Company is asking stockholders to vote for the following resolution:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&ldquo;RESOLVED,
that the stockholders of Rent-A-Center, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the

to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (including Item 402 of Regulation S-K), including

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">As disclosed in
the Company&rsquo;s proxy statement, the stockholder vote on the say-on-pay proposal is an advisory vote only and is not binding

in further detail in the Company&rsquo;s proxy statement, the Company is asking stockholders to vote on whether future advisory
votes on executive compensation of the nature reflected in Proposal No. 3 above should occur every year, every two years or every
three years. In casting their advisory vote, stockholders may indicate their preference on whether the advisory vote on executive
compensation should be held every one, two or three years, or may abstain from voting.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">As disclosed
in the Company&rsquo;s proxy statement, the stockholder vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation is
non-binding, meaning that the Board will not be obligated to take any actions or to adjust the frequency of the advisory vote
on executive compensation as a result of the vote. Although the vote is non-binding, the Company has disclosed that the Board
and the Compensation Committee will carefully review the voting results and that notwithstanding the Board&rsquo;s recommendation
and the outcome of the stockholder vote, the Board may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a more or less frequent
basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of material changes to
its compensation programs.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">We agree with
the Board that an annual vote is appropriate for the Company because it provides stockholders the opportunity to provide frequent

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Only stockholders
of record on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who sell their shares
of Common Stock before the Record Date (or acquire them without voting rights after the Record Date) may not vote such shares.
Stockholders of record on the Record Date will retain their voting rights in connection with the Annual Meeting even if they sell
such shares after the Record Date. Based on publicly available information, Engaged Capital believes that the only outstanding
class of securities of the Company entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is the Common Stock.</P>

at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement is soliciting proxies to elect only our Nominees. Accordingly, the enclosed <B>BLUE
</B>proxy card may only be voted for the Nominees and does not confer voting power with respect to the Company&rsquo;s nominees.
The participants in this solicitation intend to vote the Engaged Capital Group Shares in favor of the Nominees. Stockholders should
refer to the Company&rsquo;s proxy statement for the names, backgrounds, qualifications and other information concerning the Company&rsquo;s
nominees.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">While we currently
intend to vote all of the Engaged Capital Group Shares in favor of the election of the Nominees, we reserve the right to vote
some or all of the Engaged Capital Group Shares for some or all of the Company&rsquo;s director nominees, as we see fit, in order
to achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all stockholders. We would only intend to vote some
or all of the Engaged Capital Group Shares for some or all of the Company&rsquo;s director nominees in the event it were to become
apparent to us, based on the projected voting results at such time, that less than all of the Nominees would be elected at the
Annual Meeting and that by voting the Engaged Capital Group Shares we could help elect the Company nominees that we believe are
the most qualified to serve as directors and thus help achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of
all stockholders. Stockholders should understand, however, that all shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed <B>BLUE

the minimum number of shares of Common Stock that must be represented at a duly called meeting in person or by proxy in order
to legally conduct business at the meeting. For the Annual Meeting, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of at
least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date will be considered a quorum for the transaction
of business.</P>

are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Shares represented by &ldquo;broker non-votes&rdquo;
also are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. However, if you hold your shares in street
name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker
does not have discretionary authority to vote (a &ldquo;broker non-vote&rdquo;). Under applicable rules, your broker will not
have discretionary authority to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting on any of the proposals.</P>

for contested director elections. As a result of our nomination of the Nominees, the director election at the Annual Meeting will
be contested, so the three (3) nominees for director receiving the highest vote totals will be elected as directors of the Company.
With respect to the election of directors, only votes cast &ldquo;FOR&rdquo; a nominee will be counted. Proxy cards specifying
that votes should be withheld with respect to one or more nominees will result in those nominees receiving fewer votes but will
not count as a vote against the nominees. Neither an abstention nor a broker non-vote will count as a vote cast &ldquo;FOR&rdquo;
or &ldquo;AGAINST&rdquo; a director nominee. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome
of the election of directors.</P>

of this Proxy Statement or to the Company at 5501 Headquarters Drive, Plano, Texas 75024 or any other address provided by the
