(the "Company") under the PROG Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2015 Equity and Incentive Plan (the "EIP"), pursuant to the amendment of the EIP approved by the Company's shareholders on May 24, 2022 (the "Amended EIP") and (b) 500,000 additional shares of Common Stock under the PROG Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as Amended and Restated (the "ESPP"), pursuant to the amendment of the ESPP approved by the Company's shareholders on May 24, 2022 (the "Amended ESPP").

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide that none of the Company's directors will be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages resulting from a breach of the duty of care or any other duty owed to the Company as a director to the fullest extent permitted by Georgia law.
Article VII of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws requires the Company to indemnify any person to the fullest extent permitted by law for any liability and expense resulting from any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding (a "Proceeding") (other than an action or suit by or in the right of the Company) resulting from the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, including service at the Company's request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, administrator or agent of another entity. In such a Proceeding, an officer or director may only be indemnified for expenses and liabilities if he or she acted in good faith and, in the case of conduct in an official capacity, in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Company and, in all other cases, in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be not opposed to the best interest of the Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Article VII of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws also requires the Company to indemnify any person from any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by or in the right of the Company resulting from the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, including service at the Company's request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, administrator or agent of another entity (a) to the fullest extent permitted by law against all expenses if he or she acted in good faith and, in the case of conduct in an official capacity, in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and in all other cases, in a manner he or she reasonably believed to not be opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, and (b) to the fullest extent permitted by law (including through a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 14-2-854 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code, as amended from time to time) against all expenses and liabilities that may be imposed upon or incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from such Proceeding.
Notwithstanding these requirements, any officer or director is entitled to indemnification of any expenses in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such officer or director has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise in such Proceeding.
Article VII of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws also requires the Company to indemnify any person to the fullest extent permitted by law for any expense imposed upon or incurred in connection with acting as a witness or other participant in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding resulting from the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, including service at the Company's request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, administrator or agent of another entity.
The provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws regarding indemnification are consistent in all material respects with the laws of the State of Georgia, which authorize indemnification of corporate officers and directors.
The Company's directors and officers are also insured against losses arising from any claim against them in connection with their service as directors and officers of the Company for wrongful acts or omissions, subject to certain limitations.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:
1.
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
i.
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
ii.
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
iii.
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
2.   That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3.   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, the Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Draper, State of Utah, on this 14th day of June, 2022.
