US: Rent-A-Center ditches merger

After Rent-A-Center announced that Vintage Capital Management had terminated its merger agreement, Vintage announced Tuesday, December 18,  that’s not the case.

Rent-A-Center stated earlier Tuesday that Vintage Capital, a Florida-based private equity company that owns one of its largest competitors, had decided to walk away from a merger agreement that had not yet cleared Federal Trade Commission antitrust review.

“Rent-A-Center’s purported termination of our merger agreement is invalid.
