If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

		(b)		The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

PART III – NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Conn’s, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file, without unreasonable effort or expense, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2023 (the “Quarterly Report”) by the prescribed filing date for the reasons stated below.

On November 13, 2023, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer resigned from the Company; subsequently, Timothy Santo, who joined the Company as Chief Accounting Officer in April 2023, assumed the responsibilities of principal financial officer. Due to the proximity in timing of the prescribed filing date to the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer’s departure and Mr. Santo’s undertaking as principal financial officer, and Company management’s time and attention required for other corporate matters, the Company has determined the need for additional time to complete the typical procedures relating to its quarter-end reporting process. In accordance with Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company expects to file the Quarterly Report on or before December 18, 2023, which is the end of the five-calendar day extension period following the prescribed due date.
