We are holding our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Tuesday,
June 4, and we recognize many of you are shareholders in addition to being coworkers of Upbound Group.
If you held Upbound shares as of April 9, 2024 (the record date), you should have received our proxy materials in the mail or electronically
with information about how to vote your shares.
The email you may have received regarding
our 2024 Annual Meeting contains a “Vote Now” or similar button, which directs you to a landing page where you can vote
your shares (please check your “spam” or “junk” folder if you did not receive it). If you have not yet received
an electronic communication and instead receive paper copies, you should soon receive the proxy materials if you have not already, which
will include instructions about how to vote your shares. You may submit your proxy to vote by internet, phone or mail.
We have a number of important proposals
being voted on this year. Upbound’s board of directors recommends you vote your shares “FOR” the election of each of
the director nominees, and “FOR” each of the other proposals that have been submitted for a shareholder vote. Not voting
is the same as voting against many of the proposals.
Please refer to our proxy statement
for more details regarding the nominees and proposals, or reach out to me. As an Upbound Group, Inc., shareholder, your vote is
very important. We encourage you to read the proxy statement and submit your proxy to vote your shares as soon as possible.
We thank all of you for your continued
support of Upbound.
Note: If you require any assistance in voting your shares, please contact John
Ferguson (jferguson@saratogaproxy.com) or Ann Marie Mellone (amellone@saratogaproxy.com) from Saratoga Proxy Consulting, our proxy solicitor.
Saratoga can also be reached at (212) 257-1311 or (888) 368-0379.
