Regulatory Concerns: J Capital warns that regulators may impede The Aaron's Company's go-private deal due to potential risks associated with rent-to-own and payday lending practices, which have raised suspicions from agencies like the FTC and CFPB.
Market Impact: The acquisition by CCF Holdings LLC could lead to anti-monopoly and predatory-lending reviews, as it would significantly increase their market share by owning around 3,000 locations through AAN stores.
