NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Rent-A-Center, Inc. ("Rent-A-Center" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: RCII).
The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting the ability of the Company to resolve previously reported issues with its new Point-of-Sale ("POS") system.
On July 28, 2016, Rent-A-Center management noted that POS system issues were fixed and issues on implementing the POS system had been alleviated. However, on October 11, 2016, the Company reversed its previous statements by indicating that the POS system continues to experience issues, which will negatively impact sales. As a result, the value of Rent-A-Center stock has significantly declined.
