On June 27, 2002, in an effort to bolster investor confidence,
the Securities and Exchange Commission issued
Commission Order No. 4-460 . The
order requires the principal financial officer and
the principal executive officer of public companies to file a written statement,
under oath, affirming the accuracy of the companies financial statements.
All public companies with revenue over $1.2 billion must file
the affidavit. 947 companies meet the criteria. Rent A Center is the only rent
to own among the companies required to file by the August 14 deadline.
Mark Speese, CEO, and Robert Davis, CFO, filed the required
forms 2 days ahead of schedule on Aug 12th.

According the the SEC, the officers must personally attest that the
Companies' most recent periodic reports are materially truthful and complete or
explain why such a statement would not be correct.
