We are an online marketplace that facilitates loans to qualified borrowers and investments from qualified investors. We were incorporated in Delaware in October 2006, and in May 2007, we began operations. We expanded our operations in August 2007 with the launch of our public website, www.lendingclub.com. Pursuant to a Prospectus that describes a public offering of Member Payment Dependent Notes (“Notes”), self-directed investors have the opportunity to purchase, directly on our website, Notes issued by us, with each series of Notes corresponding to an individual Member Loan facilitated through our platform. The Notes are unsecured, are dependent for payment on the related Member Loan and offer interest rates and credit characteristics that the investors find attractive.

In addition to this public offering, we offer private placements to accredited investors and qualified purchasers. Most private placements are managed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, LC Advisors, LLC (“LCA”), a registered investment adviser that acts as the general partner for certain private funds (the “Funds”) and separately managed accounts (“SMAs”). The Company established LC Trust I (“Trust”), a Delaware business trust in February 2011 to acquire and hold Member Loans for the sole benefit of investors that purchase through Trust Certificates (“Certificates”) issued by the Trust and which are related to the underlying Member Loans. The Funds each purchase a Certificate from the Trust and the Trust uses these proceeds to acquire and hold Member Loans for the sole benefit of the Certificate holder. The Certificates can only be settled with cash flows from the underlying Member Loans and Certificate holder does not have recourse to the general credit or other assets of the Trust, Company, borrower members or other investors.

We aim to use technology and a more efficient funding process to lower costs so we may provide borrower members with rates that are generally lower, on average, than the rates they obtain from unsecured credit provided through credit cards or traditional banks, and offer interest rates to investors that they find attractive. Our customer acquisition process, registration, underwriting, processing and payment systems are highly automated and electronic. We encourage the use of electronic payments as the preferred means to disburse member loan proceeds, receive payments on outstanding Member Loans, receive funds from investor members, and to disburse payments to applicable investors. We have no physical branches for loan application or payment-taking activities.

All Member Loans are unsecured obligations of individual borrower members with fixed interest rates, three-year or five-year maturities, minimum amounts of $1,000 and maximum amounts up to $35,000. The Member Loans are posted on our website pursuant to a program agreement with WebBank, an FDIC-insured, state-chartered industrial bank organized under the laws of the state of Utah, approved loans are funded and issued by WebBank and sold to us after closing. As a part of operating our lending platform, we verify the identity of members, obtain borrower members’ credit characteristics from consumer reporting agencies such as TransUnion, Experian or Equifax and screen borrower members for eligibility to participate in the platform and facilitate the posting of Member Loans. Also, after acquiring the Member Loans from WebBank, we service the Member Loans on an ongoing basis.

As of December 31, 2012, the platform facilitated 95,902 Member Loans totaling approximately $1.2 billion since the platform’s inception. Our agreement with WebBank enables us to make our platform available to borrower members on a uniform basis nationwide, except that as of December 31, 2012, we do not currently offer Member Loans in Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska and North Dakota. We pay WebBank a monthly service fee based on the amount of loans issued by WebBank in each month, subject to a minimum monthly fee.

To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from our preferred stock issuances and common stock issuances and now with the operations of the Company, which are described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. From inception of the Company through December 31, 2012, we have raised approximately $102.5 million (net) through preferred equity financings. In June 2012, we issued and sold via private placement a total of 2.5 million shares of Series E convertible preferred stock at $7.00 per share for aggregate cash consideration of $17.5 million, less total transaction expenses of approximately $0.2 million that were recorded as a reduction to gross proceeds.

We have incurred net losses since our inception. Our net loss was approximately $4.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. We earn revenues from fees, primarily loan fees charged to borrower members, investor servicing fees and management fees charged by LCA. We expect that the number of borrower and investor members and the volume of Member Loans facilitated through our platform will continue to increase, and that we will generate increased revenue from these fees.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we were cash-flow positive on an operating basis. We expect that will continue operating at or near breakeven during calendar year 2013. If our assumptions regarding continued growth and operating plan are incorrect, we may need to slow our investment spending, which could slow our rate of growth or ability to continue operating on a cash-flow positive basis, and our current liquidity resources may be consumed.

Online lending is a new approach to consumer finance. We use an online marketplace to connect borrowers and investors. We provide transactional services including screening borrowers for borrowing eligibility and facilitating payments. Online lending entails significantly lower operating costs compared to traditional banking and consumer finance institutions because there are no physical branches and related infrastructure, no deposit-taking activities and an automated loan underwriting process. We believe that the interest rates offered to borrower members through our platform are generally better, on average, than the rates those borrower members would pay on outstanding credit card balances or an unsecured installment loan from a traditional bank, if they were able to obtain such a loan.

We view consumer finance delivered through an online marketplace as an important new market opportunity. Key drivers of online lending include the following:

During registration, members are provided a random online member screen names. New members must agree to the terms and conditions of our website, including agreeing to conduct transactions and receive disclosures and other communications electronically.

New members have the opportunity to register as borrowers or investors. All our borrower members:

We verify the identity of borrower members who complete the loan application process by comparing supplied names, social security numbers, addresses and telephone numbers against the names, social security numbers, addresses and telephone numbers in the records of a consumer reporting agency, as well as other anti-fraud and identity verification databases. We also currently require each new member to supply information about the member’s bank account including routing numbers, after which we transfer between 1 and 99 cents from the bank account to verify that the bank account belongs to the member. Members must then sign in to LendingClub and verify their bank accounts based on the amount transferred.

Borrower members must also enter into a borrower membership agreement with us prior to listing their loan. The borrower membership agreement addresses the registration and loan request processes. In this agreement, the borrower member authorizes us to obtain a consumer report, to use the consumer report for specific purposes, to share certain information about the borrower member with investors, and to issue a loan to the borrower if they have received commitments of 60% or more of the listed loan amount by the expiration of the loan listing. The borrower member also grants us a limited power of attorney to complete on the borrower member’s behalf, one or more promissory notes in the amounts and on the terms made to the borrower member by WebBank. WebBank serves as the true creditor for all Member Loans facilitated through our platform. These agreements set forth the terms and conditions of the Member Loans and allow a borrower member to withdraw a loan request at any time before the Member Loan is funded.

Borrower members enter into a credit profile authorization and a loan agreement with WebBank. In the credit profile authorization, the borrower member authorizes WebBank to obtain and use a consumer report on the borrower member. The loan agreement addresses the application process and the role of investors’ commitments to invest in the underlying borrower loan. The agreement explains that if the loan has received funding of 60% or more of the listed loan amount it will automatically issue unless

withdrawn by the applicant. For applicants whose credit has been pre-screened, 100% funding is guaranteed on loan amounts of $10,000 or less. If a loan is extended to the borrower member, the borrower member agrees to be bound by the terms of a promissory note, the form of which is attached as an exhibit to the loan agreement. The borrower member authorizes LendingClub to debit the borrower member’s designated account by Automated Clearing House, or ACH, transfer for each payment due under the promissory note. The loan agreement also describes the parties’ rights in regard to arbitration. The borrower member agrees that WebBank may assign its right, title and interest in the loan agreement and the borrower member’s promissory notes to others, including LendingClub.

During investor registration, potential investors will have their identify verified, agree to a tax withholding statement and bank account verification, and must enter into an investor and other agreements with us, which will govern all purchases of Notes and Certificates the investor makes. Investors must also be residents of certain states and meet minimum financial suitability requirements. The investor agreement and additional information about eligible states of residency and financial suitability requirements are available on our website (www.lendingclub.com).

Borrower members submit loan requests online through our website. Loan requests must be between $1,000 and $35,000. Loans from $1,000 to $15,975 are usually only issued with three year terms, unless the loan request comes from a partner that allows borrower members to select the amount and term, which selections will be honored. Loans from $16,000 to $35,000 are offered with either three or five year terms, to be selected by the borrower. Each loan request is an application to WebBank, which lends to qualified borrower members and allows our platform to be available to borrower members on a uniform basis throughout the United States, except that we do not currently offer Member Loans in Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska and North Dakota. Currently, we allow borrower members to have up to two Member Loans outstanding at any one time, if the borrower member continues to meet our credit criteria. In addition, to apply for a second loan, the borrower member must have already made timely payments on the first Member Loan for at least six months. Borrowers are limited to two concurrent loans with a maximum combined initial loan amount of $50,000.

Borrower members supply a variety of unverified information that is included in the borrower Member Loan listings on our website and in the posting reports and sales reports we file with the SEC. This information may include a borrower Member’s Loan title, description, answers to investor questions and home ownership status. Requested information also includes a borrower member’s income or employment, which may be unverified. If we verify the borrower member’s income, and employment, we will display an icon in the loan listing indicating that we have done so. Investors have no ability to verify borrower member information and we do not verify a borrower’s income or employment solely at the request of an investor. See “Item 1. Business – About the Loan Platform – How the LendingClub Platform Operates – Loan Postings and Borrower Member Information Available on the LendingClub Website.”

In November 2012, we substantially revised our credit model and began grading loans based upon a proprietary algorithm developed internally. This algorithm was based primarily upon the historical loan performance of actual borrowers that meet the requirements of the algorithm, the assumed performance of applicants that would have been approved under the current algorithm but were declined by prior methodologies, and the exclusion of borrowers that were approved under prior methodologies but would have been declined under the new algorithm, in addition to other factors and assumptions.

After we receive a loan request, we evaluate whether the prospective borrower member meets WebBank’s loan criteria. The WebBank credit policy provides the underwriting criteria for all loans listed on our platform, and the credit policy may not be changed without the consent of WebBank. Under the current credit policy, prospective borrower member requirements include the following:

A FICO score is a numeric rating that ranges between 300 and 850 that rates a person’s credit risk based on past credit history and current credit situation. FICO scoring was developed by Fair Isaac Corporation. FICO scores reflect a mathematical formula that is based on information in a consumer’s credit report, compared to information on other consumers. Consumers with higher scores typically represent a lower risk of defaulting on their loans. There are three different FICO scores, each with a separate name, which correspond to each of the three main U.S. consumer reporting agencies. Equifax uses the “BEACON score”; Experian uses the

“Experian/Fair Isaac Risk Model”; and TransUnion uses the “EMPIRICA score.” The score from each consumer reporting agency considers only the credit data available to that agency. Fair Isaac Corporation develops all three FICO scores and makes the scores as consistent as possible across the three consumer reporting agencies. Nevertheless, the three agencies sometimes have different information about a particular borrower member, and that means the three FICO scores for that borrower member will vary by agency. We currently obtain consumer credit information from a single consumer reporting agency, although we may use other consumer reporting agencies in the future.

The FICO scoring model takes into account only five categories of data: historical timeliness of bill payments; total outstanding debt and the total amount of credit the consumer has available; length of credit history; mix of credit; and new credit applications within the last year. Information such as: age; race; sex; job or length of employment; income; whether the consumer has been turned down for credit or information not contained in the consumer’s credit report are not taken into account in calculating a score.

From the relaunch of our platform on October 13, 2008 until December 31, 2012, only 10.7% of individuals seeking Member Loans on our site (95,522 out of a total of 891,382) have met the credit criteria required to post their loan requests on our website and received a loan.

During the loan application process, we also automatically screen borrower members using the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Asset Control’s (“OFAC”) lists, as well as our fraud detection systems. See “Item 1. Business – About LendingClub – Business – Technology – Fraud Detection.”

After submission of the application, we inform potential borrowers whether they qualify to post a loan request on our platform. For qualified borrowers, our proprietary algorithm assigns one of 35 loan grades (A1 to G5) which establishes the borrower’s loan interest rate and origination fee. This initial grade can then be adjusted to reflect the application of modifiers, including the amount and term of loan.

Approximately 68% of the listed applicants during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 had their employment or income verified by us by requiring the borrower to submit paystubs, IRS Forms W-2 or other tax records between the initial posting of a loan request and the issuance of a Member Loan.

We also conduct random testing. From time to time, we also randomly select listings to verify information for the purpose of testing our policies and for statistical analysis.

If the borrower member fails to provide satisfactory information in response to an income or employment verification inquiry, we may remove the borrower Member’s Loan listing or request additional information from the borrower member.

We conduct income or employment verification entirely in our discretion as an additional screening mechanism. We believe that our ability to verify a borrower member’s income may be useful in certain circumstances in screening our platform against exaggerated income and employment representations from borrower members. Investors, however, should not rely on a borrower member’s stated employment or income, except when such income or employment has been verified as indicated on the loan details page, or on our ability to perform income and employment verifications. We cannot assure investors that we will continue performing income and employment verifications. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors – Information supplied by borrower members may be inaccurate or intentionally false.”

Except as discussed above, borrower member information such as loan title, description, and answers to investors’ questions through the Q&A process are unverified and investors should not rely on this information.

Our participation in funding loans on the platform from time to time has had, and will continue to have, no effect on our income or employment verification process, the selection of loan requests verified or the frequency of income and employment verification.

After the loan grade has been determined under the credit policy, an interest rate is assigned to the loan request.

The interest rates are assigned to borrower loan grades in three steps. First, the base rate is determined. Second, an assumed default rate is determined that attempts to project loan default rates by loan credit grade. Third, the assumed default rate is used to calculate an upward adjustment to the base rates which we call the “Adjustment for Risk and Volatility.”

The base rate is set by the Interest Rate Committee (“Committee”), which is comprised of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Marketing Officer and General Counsel. The Committee’s objective in setting the base rate is to allocate the interest rate spread that exists between the estimated cost of credit for borrower members and the estimated return on bank deposits we understand are available to investors. We have selected this spread as an appropriate starting place for the base rates for the following reasons:

By setting the initial allocation of the base rate in between these two interest rates, we believe roughly equal value may be provided to both our borrower members and our investors. To make this initial base rate calculation, the Committee calculates the average between the interest rate for unsecured consumer credit published by the Federal Reserve, “commercial banks; credit card plans; all accounts,” in Federal Reserve Statistical Release G.19, and the interest rate for 6-month certificates of deposit, “secondary market; monthly,” published by the Federal Reserve in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15.

Next, the Committee may modify this initial allocation, based on the following factors:

The Committee adjusts the base rate from time to time based on this methodology. In applying the adjustment to the base rate, the Committee has established one base rate for all credit grades.

Lastly, the Committee then adjusts the base rate upward to reflect an adjustment based upon the assumed default rate for the particular loan credit grade, volatility factors, investor value and other factors, which we collectively refer to as the “Adjustment for Risk and Volatility.” The final interest rate is then calculated by adding the base rate and the adjustment for risk and volatility.

Member Loans are unsecured obligations of individual borrowers with a fixed interest rate and a maturity of three years or five years. Member Loans have an amortizing, monthly repayment schedule and may be repaid in whole or in part at any time without prepayment penalty. In the case of a partial prepayment, we reduce the outstanding principal balance and the term of the loan is effectively reduced as the monthly payment remains unchanged.

Once a loan request is complete and we have assigned a loan grade and interest rate to the requested loan, the request is subsequently posted on our website and then becomes available for viewing by investors. Investors are also then able to commit to invest in securities that will be dependent for their payments on that Member Loan. Loan requests appear under screen names, not actual borrowers’ names. Investors are able to view:

Potential borrowers typically state the use of funds in a short sentence or clause, such as “Consolidate my credit card debt and be rid of it.” We historically have not verified, and do not plan in the future to verify or monitor, a borrower member’s actual use of funds.

Investors are also able to view the following information provided by borrower members, which we typically do not verify:

We also post the following credit history information from the consumer reporting agency report, and label the information as being provided by a credit bureau:

Although borrower members and investors are anonymous to each other, investors may ask predefined questions on the loan listing and borrower members have the opportunity, but are not required, to post public responses. We do not verify these responses.

Loan posting and borrower member information available on the LendingClub website will be statements made in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, and therefore subject to Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Loan posting and borrower member information filed in prospectus supplements will be subject to the liability provisions of the Securities Act. In this document, we advise potential investors in the Notes as to the limitations on the reliability of borrower member-supplied information. An investor’s recourse in the event this information is false will be extremely limited.

Loan requests remain open for at least 14 days, during which time investment commitments that will be dependent on the loans may be made by investors. If a borrower Member’s Loan request does not attract sufficient investment commitments to fund at least 60% of the listed loan amount, the applicant is given the opportunity to accept the lesser amount or withdraw the application. The borrower member may request that their loan request be re-listed on our platform.

After a loan request has been posted on our website, individual investors who have registered with us and who reside in states in which the Notes are available for sale may commit to purchase Notes dependent on the Member Loan requested by the borrower member. Certificates are sold in private transactions between the Trust and accredited investors or qualified purchasers. The terms of Certificates are substantially identical to those of Notes, except that investors in Certificates pay an asset-based management fee instead of the cash flow-based servicing fee paid by investors in Notes.

Investors navigate our website as follows. Investors may browse all active loan listings and they may also use search criteria to narrow the list of loan listings they are viewing. The available search criteria include loan grade, borrower member credit score range, number of recent delinquencies and loan funding status, as well as a free-search field. The free-search field returns results based on the word entered as the search. As investors browse the loan listings, they can click on any of the listings to view additional detail. The loan detail page includes general information about the borrower member and the loan request that is viewable by non-members, and more detail (including credit data) viewable only by signed-in investors. Once signed-in, investors may select any of the displayed loan listings and add them to their “order,” which is akin to a shopping basket. Investors may add as many Member Loans as they want to their order, provided that the aggregate amount of their order does not exceed the funds available. Once an investor has finished building an order, the investor may click the “check out” button, review the “order” one more time and then click the confirmation button to commit funds to the order. Funds committed represent commitments to purchase Notes or Certificates that are dependent on the chosen Member Loans for payment. From that point on, the funds committed by the investor are no longer available for use by the investor and may no longer be withdrawn or committed to other loans (unless and until loans included in the order are not issued, in which case the corresponding funds become available to the investor again).

A single borrower Member’s Loan request is typically funded by many different investors in various amounts that are in $25 increments. In the event that a borrower Member’s Loan request does not attract sufficient funding commitments for the Member Loan of at least 60% of the listed loan amount by the expiration of the loan listing, the borrower member ceases to be under an obligation to accept the loan, although borrowers may still choose to accept partial funding (less than 60% and $1,000 or over) of their loan requests or may request that their loan request be re-listed on our platform.

In making investment commitments, as of December 31, 2012, approximately 30% of investors used our “Portfolio Tool,” a proprietary tool that creates a listing of Notes that meet all of the investment criteria selected by the investor. Investors may experiment with Portfolio Tool search results on our website without committing to purchase Notes.

The portfolio tool is provided for informational purposes only and should not be considered as investment advice regarding a member’s particular investment situation. Lists may be modified or rejected in whole or in part. Users should always review the list created and modify to suit their particular needs and risk tolerance.

Investors’ funds are held in an account currently maintained by us at Wells Fargo. This account is a pooled account titled in our name “in trust for” LendingClub investors, known as the ITF Account, and is a non-interest bearing demand deposit account. In connection with the ITF account, Wells Fargo is acting in a separate capacity from its role as trustee under the indenture governing the Notes.

Individual LendingClub members have no direct relationship with Wells Fargo. LendingClub is the trustee for the ITF account. In addition to outlining the rights of investors, the trust agreement provides that we disclaim any economic interest in the assets in the ITF account and also provides that each investor disclaims any right, title or interest in the assets of any other investor in the ITF account. No LendingClub monies are ever commingled with the assets of investors in the ITF account.

Under the ITF account, we maintain sub-accounts for each of the investors on our platform to track and report funds committed by investors to purchase Notes dependent on member loans, as well as payments received from borrower members. These record-keeping sub-accounts are purely administrative and reflect balances and transactions concerning the funds in the ITF account.

The ITF account is FDIC-insured on a “pass through” basis to the individual investors, subject to applicable limits. This means that each individual investor’s balance is protected by FDIC insurance, up to the limits established by the FDIC. Other funds the investor has on deposit with Wells Fargo, for example, may count against any applicable FDIC insurance limits.

Funds of an investor may stay in the ITF account indefinitely. Such funds may include:

Upon request by the investor, we will transfer investor funds in the ITF account to the investor’s designated and verified bank account by ACH transfer, provided such funds are not already committed to the future investment commitments.

Once investors have committed to invest in Notes or a Certificate, we facilitate the closing of the corresponding Member Loans and subsequent purchase of the Member Loan. An individual Member Loan generally closes the first business day after: (i) we receive commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the loan request; (ii) we have received at least commitments equal to 60% or more of the amount of the loan request as of the listing expiration date; or (iii) when the borrower member agrees to take a lesser amount equal to the aggregate amount of commitments received up to the expiration date.

At a Note closing, when we issue a Note to an investor and register the Note on our books and records, we transfer an amount equal to the principal amount of the Note from such investor’s sub-account under the ITF account to a funding account maintained by WebBank. At a Certificate closing, we issue or update the Certificate for the investor’s transaction and transfer an amount equal to the principal amount of the Certificate investment from such investor’s sub-account under the custodial account to a funding account maintained by WebBank. These transfers to WebBank represent payments by the investors, which is equal to 100% of the principal amounts of the Member Loans issued. These proceeds are designated for the purchases of the particular Member Loans selected by the investors. WebBank, as the true creditor for all Member Loans, allows our platform to be available on a uniform basis to borrower members throughout the United States, except that we do not currently offer Member Loans in Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska and North Dakota. WebBank uses LendingClub as paying agent for the disbursement of the loan proceeds due to the ACH transfer capability we established with the borrowers in order to service the loans.

At the closing of the borrower Member’s Loan, we execute an electronic promissory note on the borrower member’s behalf for the final loan amount under a power of attorney on behalf of the borrower member. WebBank then sells the loan to us at par, electronically indorses the promissory note to us, and assigns the borrower Member’s Loan agreement to us without recourse to WebBank. To the extent that the purchased loan is to be financed by Certificates issued by the Trust, we resell the loan at par to the Trust.

The promissory note and the loan agreement contain customary agreements and covenants requiring the borrower members to repay their Member Loans and acknowledging our role as servicer for Member Loans.

Investors know only the screen names and do not know the actual names of borrower members. The actual names and addresses of the borrower members are known only to us and WebBank. We maintain custody of the electronically-executed promissory notes in electronic form on our platform.

Borrowers pay an origination fee upon the successful closing of the Member Loan. As requested by WebBank, we deduct and retain the origination fee from the loan amount prior to the disbursement of the net amount to the borrower member. The loan origination fee is determined by the term and credit grade of the loan and ranges from 1.11% to 5.00% of the original principal amount.

Pursuant to the agreement we have with WebBank, we are required to deliver to WebBank and maintain cash collateral to secure our obligations under the agreement. We do not have rights to withdraw restricted funds from this cash collateral account during the term of the agreement. The amount of our funds held by WebBank in the cash collateral account at December 31, 2012 was $3.0 million and these funds are included in Restricted Cash on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012.

We reimburse investors for the unpaid principal balance of a Note or Certificate that is dependent on a Member Loan obtained through identity fraud. We generally recognize the occurrence of identity fraud upon receipt of a police report regarding the identity fraud. This reimbursement for identity fraud only provides an assurance that our borrower identity verification is accurate; in no way is it a guarantee of a borrower’s self-reported information (beyond the borrower’s identity) or a borrower member’s creditworthiness. We expect the incidence of identity fraud on our platform to be low because of our identity verification process. From the time we began issuing Notes in October 2008 through December 31, 2012, we have reimbursed investors in thirty-four cases of confirmed identity fraud.

We assess investors a service charge in respect of their Notes. Our service charge is equal to the product of 1.00% and the payments for principal, interest and late fees received by us from borrower members in respect of each corresponding Member Loan (rounded to the next whole cent but to no extent less than $0.01).

LCA charges Certificate investors monthly management fees that are based on the month-end balances of capital accounts, in lieu of a servicing fee.

Our procedures generally involve the automatic debiting of borrower bank accounts by ACH transfer for the scheduled monthly principal and interest payments due on the Member Loan. If a borrower member chooses to make a loan payment by check, we impose a $15.00 check processing fee per payment, subject to applicable law. We retain 100% of any check processing and other processing fees we receive to cover our costs.

Member Loan payments are transferred to a clearing account in our name where they remain for two business days. Thereafter, we make payments on the Notes and Certificates by transferring the appropriate funds to the ITF and custodial accounts and allocating amounts received on specific Member Loans to the appropriate investor’s sub-account. We retain amounts due to us for servicing Notes and then periodically transfer such funds from the clearing account to another operating account of ours. An investor may transfer uncommitted funds out of the investor’s LendingClub sub-account in the ITF or custodial accounts by ACH or wire to the investor’s designated bank account at any time, subject to normal execution times for such transfers (generally 1-3 days).

We disclose on our website to the relevant investors and report to consumer reporting agencies regarding borrower members’ payment performance on our Member Loans. We have also made arrangements for collection procedures in the event of borrower member default. When a Member Loan is past due and payment has not been received, we contact the borrower member to request payment. After a 15-day grace period, we may, in our discretion, assess a late payment fee. The amount of the late payment fee is the greater of 5.00% of the unpaid payment amount or $15.00, or such lesser amount as may be provided by applicable law. This fee may be charged only once per late payment. Amounts equal to any late payment fees we receive are paid to holders of the Notes and Certificates that are dependent on the relevant Member Loans, net of our service charge, if applicable. We often choose not to assess a late payment fee when a borrower promises to return a delinquent loan to current status and fulfills that promise. See “About the Loan Platform – Historical Information about Our Borrower Members and Outstanding Loans.” We may also work with a borrower member to structure a new payment plan in respect of the Member Loan without the consent of any holder of the Notes or Certificates related to that Member Loan. Under the indenture for the Notes, we are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to service and collect Member Loans, in good faith, accurately and in accordance with industry standards customary for servicing loans such as the Member Loans.

Each time a payment request is denied due to insufficient funds in the borrower’s account or for any other reason, we may assess an unsuccessful payment fee to the borrower in an amount of $15.00 per unsuccessful payment, or such lesser amount as may be provided by applicable law. We retain 100% of this unsuccessful payment fee to cover our costs incurred because of the denial of the payment.

If a Member Loan becomes 31 days overdue, we identify the loan on our website as “Late (31-120),” and we either refer the Member Loan to an outside collection agent or to our in-house collections department. Currently, we generally use our in-house collections department as a first step when a borrower member misses a Member Loan payment. In the event that our initial in-house attempts to contact a borrower member are unsuccessful, we generally refer the delinquent account to the outside collection agent. Amounts equal to any recoveries we receive from the collection process are payable to Note and Certificate investors on a pro rata basis, subject to our deduction of our service charge, if applicable, and an additional collection fee. The investor is only charged the additional collection fee if we or the collection agency are able to collect a payment.

Investors are able to monitor the status of collections as the status of a Member Loan switches from “Late (15-30 days)” to “Late (31-120 days)” to “current” for example, but cannot participate in or otherwise intervene in the collection process.

The following table summarizes the fees that we charge and how these fees affect investors:

If a borrower member dies while a Member Loan is in repayment, we require the executor or administrator of the estate to send a death certificate to us. We then file a claim against the borrower member’s estate to attempt to recover the outstanding loan balance. Depending on the size of the estate, we may not be able to recover the outstanding amount of the loan. If the estate does not include sufficient assets to repay the outstanding Member Loan in full, we will treat the unsatisfied portion of a Member Loan as defaulted with zero value. In addition, if a borrower member dies near the end of the term of a Member Loan, it is unlikely that any further payments will be made on any Notes corresponding to such Member Loan, because the time required for the probate of the estate may extend beyond the initial maturity date and the final maturity date of the Notes.

Our normal collection process changes in the event of a borrower member bankruptcy filing. When we receive notice of the bankruptcy filing, as required by law, we cease all automatic monthly payments on the Member Loan. We also defer any other collection activity. The status of the Member Loan, which the relevant investors may view, switches to “bankruptcy.” We next determine what we believe to be an appropriate approach to the member’s bankruptcy. If the proceeding is a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, seeking liquidation, we attempt to determine if the proceeding is a “no asset” proceeding, based on instructions we receive from the bankruptcy court. If the proceeding is a “no asset” proceeding, we take no further action and assume that no recovery will be made on the Member Loan.

In all other cases, we will file a proof of claim involving the borrower member. The decision to pursue additional relief beyond the proof of claim in any specific matter involving a LendingClub borrower member will be entirely within our discretion and will depend upon certain factors including:

Occasionally, qualified loan requests on our platform are not fully committed to by investors at the time of loan origination. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Company has funded loans in an aggregate amount of approximately $10,000. We are obligated to ensure funding for the lessor of $10,000 or the amount of the loan request for loans originated through direct mail marketing campaigns and thus we will fund these loans as needed. While we are not obligated to fund the loans not originated through direct mail marketing campaigns, we may choose to fund portions of loan requests in the future. If we were to invest in any member loan, it would be on the same terms and conditions as other investors. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Company has funded one loan for $0.01 million.

Our executive officers, directors and 5% stockholders, also have funded portions of loans requests from time to time in the past, and may do so in the future. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, these affiliates made investments totaling $1.7 million that funded new Member Loan requests and their outstanding principal balance was $3.1 million as of December 31, 2012. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2012, these affiliates made investments totaling $1.3 million that funded new Member Loan requests and their outstanding principal balance was $2.2 million as of March 31, 2012.

Investors may not transfer their Notes except through the resale trading platform operated by FOLIOfn Investments, Inc. (“FOLIOfn”), an unaffiliated registered broker-dealer. This trading platform is an internet-based trading platform on which LendingClub investors who establish a brokerage relationship with the registered broker-dealer operating the trading platform may offer their Notes for sale. In this section, we refer to our investors who have established such brokerage relationships as “subscribers.” Only transactions involving resales of previously issued Notes can be affected through the trading platform; the trading platform does not handle any aspect of transactions involving the initial offer and sale of Notes by us. The trading platform does not handle transfers or resales of Certificates. Subscribers may post orders to sell their Notes on the trading platform at prices established by the subscriber. Other subscribers will have the opportunity to view these prices, along with historical information from the original loan posting for the Member Loan corresponding to the Note, an updated credit score range of the borrower member and the payment history for the Note.

Currently, the only fees payable by subscribers in respect of the trading platform is the 1% fee charged by the registered broker-dealer to subscribers who sell Notes. All Notes traded through the trading platform will continue to be subject to our ongoing fees, including the ongoing service charge.

We are not a registered national securities exchange, securities information processor, clearing agency or broker-dealer. All securities services relating to the trading platform are provided by FOLIOfn. Neither we nor FOLIOfn will make any recommendations with respect to transactions on the trading platform. There is no assurance that investors will be able to establish a brokerage relationship with the registered broker-dealer. Furthermore, we cannot assure subscribers that they will be able to sell Notes they offer for resale through the trading platform at the offered price or any other price nor can we offer any assurance that the trading platform will continue to be available to subscribers. The trading platform is not available to residents of all states. As of December 31, 2012, it has taken an average of 3.8 days to sell a Note with an offer price at or below par.

We provide customer support to our borrower members and investors. For many of our members, their experience is entirely web-based. We include detailed frequently asked questions on our website. We also post detailed fee information and the full text of our member legal agreements.

We make additional customer support available to members by email and phone. Our customer support team is located at our headquarters in San Francisco, California.

In regards to the following historical information, prior performance is no guarantee of future results or outcomes.

From inception to December 31, 2012, we had facilitated Member Loans with an average original principal amount of approximately $12,286 and an aggregate original principal amount of $1.2 billion. Out of 95,902 facilitated Member Loans, 15,853 Member Loans with an aggregate original principal amount of $162 million, or 13.73%, had fully paid. Including loans which were fully paid, 89,836 loans representing $1.1 billion of the original principal balance of loans facilitated through the platform through December 31, 2012 had been through at least one billing cycle.

Of this $1.1 billion of original principal balance at December 31, 2012 that had been through at least one billing cycle, $24.2 million of outstanding principal balance less interest and fees received, or 2.57%, was either in default or had been charged off. The defaulted or charged off loans were comprised of 3,922 Member Loans, of which 2,834 loans representing $19.2 million in outstanding principal balance less interest and fees received, were defaults and charge offs due to delinquency, while the remaining 874 loans were loans in which the borrower members filed for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy seeking liquidation. A Member Loan is considered defaulted when at least one payment is more than 120 days late and it is charged-off no later than when it reaches 150 days late.

Of remaining loans that had been through at least one billing cycle as of December 31, 2012, $711.4 million of principal remained outstanding of which 97.70% was current, 0.36% was 16 to 30 days late, 1.57% was between 31 and 120 days late and 0.37% was on a performing payment plan. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, of the 53,521 Member Loans which were not delinquent prior to the start of the year, 1,785 Member Loans became delinquent for some amount of time during the nine months, excluding those that entered the 0 to 15 day grace period.

The following table presents aggregated information about loans for the period from inception to December 31, 2012, grouped by the loan grade assigned by us:

The following table presents aggregated information for the period from inception to December 31, 2012, reported by a consumer reporting agency about our borrower members at the time of their loan applications, grouped by the loan grade assigned by us. As used in this table, “Delinquencies in the Last Two Years” means the number of 30+ days past-due incidences of delinquency in the borrower member’s credit file for the past two years. We do not independently verify this information. All figures other than loan grade are agency reported:

The following table presents additional aggregated information for the period from inception to December 31, 2012, about borrower current and paid off loans, grouped by the loan grade assigned by us.

The following table presents additional aggregated information for the period from inception to December 31, 2012, about delinquencies and default loans, grouped by the loan grade assigned by us. The default and delinquency information presented in the table includes data only for Member Loans that had been through at least one billing cycle as of March 31, 2012. With respect to late Member Loans, the following table shows the entire amount of the principal remaining due, not just that particular payment. The third and fifth columns show the late Member Loan amounts as a percentage of Member Loans that have been through at least one billing cycle. Member Loans are placed on nonaccrual status and considered as defaulted when they become 120 days late. The data presented in the table below comes from a set of Member Loans that have been outstanding, on average, for approximately twelve months.

The data in the following table regarding loss experience may not be representative of the loss experience that will develop over time as additional Member Loans are facilitated through our platform and the Member Loans already facilitated through our platform have longer payment histories.

The following table presents aggregated information for the period from inception to December 31, 2012, on the results of our collection efforts for all corresponding Member Loans that became more than 30 days past due at any time, grouped by credit grade. For purposes of this inception-to-date analysis, we have excluded 64 loans that we classified as identity fraud. In these cases, we wrote-off the uncollectible loan and repaid holders of any related Notes an amount equal to the unpaid principal balances due on the Notes less any applicable servicing fees.

The following graph presents the dollar weighted average interest rate for Member Loans originated from inception to December 31, 2012, by grade.

Loan performance is reviewed on a monthly basis to determine how loss rate estimates compare to the actual performance of loans. As part of our monthly review, the processes for calculating and assigning loss rates and LendingClub grades are reassessed to ensure continued accuracy. The graph below shows the actual cumulative net charge-offs by LendingClub grades for Member Loans booked from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2012, as a percentage of originations. Performance is as of December 31, 2012. The loss performance is tracked by vintage, meaning each line represents all loans originated in a given period.

The graphs below show cumulative net charge-offs for Member Loans as a percentage of originations for each LendingClub grade presented by vintage from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2012. Performance is as of December 31, 2012.

We are the operator of an online financial community that provides a number of benefits to our borrower and investor members. We believe the key features of our experience are the following:

We believe that the following business strengths differentiate us from competitors and are key to our success:

We were incorporated in Delaware in October 2006 under the name SocBank Corporation. We changed our name to LendingClub Corporation in November 2006. In May 2007, we began operations and in September 2007, we expanded our operations with the launch of our public web site, www.lendingclub.com. We have been operating since December 2007 pursuant to agreements with WebBank who serves as the lender for all loans listed on our platform.

On December 19, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year-end from March 31 to December 31. The change was effective as of December 31, 2012. We are filing the accompanying consolidated financial statements in connection with a transition report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which covers the nine month period beginning April 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2012 and the historical activities of the periods ended March 31, 2012 and nine month period ended December 31, 2011. Our next fiscal year will cover the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

Our marketing efforts are designed to attract visitors to our website, to enroll them as members and to close transactions with them. We employ a combination of paid and unpaid sources to market our platform. We also invest in public relations to build our brand and visibility. We measure website visitor-to-member conversion and test graphics and layout alternatives to improve website conversion. We also seek to customize our website to meet our members’ needs whenever possible. Our marketing expense totaled approximately $10.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and $8.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

From time to time, we may conduct special promotions to increase the participation of existing members on our platform or to attract new members. These promotions could include offering special incentives for registering as a lender or a borrower, posting a loan listing, or moving money onto our platform. These promotions may be offered to all customers for all products or could be restricted to particular products or types of customers.

Our system hardware for the platform is colocated in a data center hosting facility in Nevada. The facility provides around-the-clock security personnel, video surveillance and biometric access screening and is serviced by onsite electrical generators, fire detection and suppression systems. The facility has multiple Tier 1 interconnects to the Internet. We also maintain a “near” real time disaster recovery data center colocated in a hosting facility in Northern California.

We own all of the hardware deployed in support of our platform. We continuously monitor the performance and availability of our platform.

We have developed our own cash management software to process electronic cash movements, record book entries and calculate cash balances in our members’ funding accounts. We process electronic deposits and payments by originating ACH transactions.

We have a backup and successor servicing agreement with Portfolio Financial Servicing Company (“PFSC”). Pursuant to this agreement, PFSC will prepare and then stand ready to service the Member Loans. Following five business days’ prior written notice from us or from the indenture trustee for the Notes, PFSC will begin servicing the Member Loans. Pursuant to our agreement with PFSC, we have agreed to pay PFSC monthly start-up preparation fees and a one-time preparation fee, and then to pay PFSC a monthly standby fee. Upon PFSC becoming the servicer of the Member Loans, we will pay PFSC a one-time declaration fee, and PFSC will be entitled to retain a servicing fee up to 5% of the amounts it collects as servicer. Our agreement with PFSC was renewed as of September 2011 for a three year term with automatic annual renewals thereafter unless advance notice of non-renewal is provided by either party. If our agreement with PFSC were to be terminated, we would seek to replace PFSC with another backup servicer.

We have a scalable infrastructure that utilizes standard techniques such as load-balancing and redundancies. Our application and database tiers are designed to be scaled horizontally by adding new servers as needed. The application tier is accessed through a load-balancer which routes requests to the least busy server. We monitor and record system performance parameters and regularly perform capacity planning to anticipate capacity requirements.

All data received from end users or from our business counterparties are transported in a secure manner; for example, we only expose data or action pages of our application in SSL mode. We have received a SSL certification from VeriSign. For communication with our banking counterparties, we require a dedicated, fully authenticated connection (“VPN”), in addition to the SSL encryption of the data. Data storage follows specific rules for specific cases. For example, the most sensitive information is stored using one-way encryption, which makes it impossible to read in the clear, and for regular data, a set of access control rules have been created to limit the visibility of the data and to protect the privacy of each user.

We utilize a state of the art network firewall technology for perimeter level threat protection. The philosophy of least privilege is used throughout the infrastructure. In short, each person has access to only what they require to do their job. We follow security best practices for provisioning, hardening servers, logging and monitoring.

We consider fraud detection to be of utmost importance to the successful operation of our business. We employ a combination of proprietary technologies and commercially available licensed technologies and solutions to prevent and detect fraud. We employ techniques such as knowledge based authentication, out-of-band authentication and notification, behavioral analytics and digital fingerprinting to prevent identity fraud. We use services from third-party vendors for user identification, credit checks and OFAC compliance. In addition, we use specialized third-party software to augment our fraud detection systems. In addition to our identity fraud detection system, we also have a dedicated team which conducts additional investigations of cases flagged for high fraud risk by verifying the income and employment data reported by borrower members. See “Item 1. Business – About the Platform – How the LendingClub Platform Operates – Verification of Borrower.”

We have made substantial investments in software and technology development and we expect to continue or increase the level of this investment as part of our strategy to continually improve the platform. In addition to developing additional platform and website functionality and maintaining an active online deployment, the engineering department also performs technical competitive analysis as well as systematic product usability testing. As of December 31, 2012, we had an engineering team of 20 permanent employees and 27 contractors working on designing and implementing the ongoing releases of our platform. Our engineering expense totaled approximately $4.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and $2.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

The market for lending is competitive and rapidly evolving. We believe the following are the principal competitive factors in the lending market:

We face competition from major banking institutions, credit unions, credit card issuers and other consumer finance companies.

We may also face future competition from new companies entering our market, which may include large, established companies. These companies may have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their consumer lending platforms. These potential competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to new technologies and may be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns. These potential competitors may have more extensive potential borrower bases than we do. In addition, these potential competitors may have longer operating histories and greater name recognition than we do. Moreover, if one or more of our competitors were to merge or partner with another of our competitors or a new market entrant, the change in competitive landscape could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively.

We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret, trademark, and other rights, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology, processes and other intellectual property.

Although the protection afforded by copyright, trade secret, trademark and patent law, written agreements and common law may provide some advantages, we believe that the following factors help us to maintain a competitive advantage:

Our competitors may develop products that are similar to our technology. We enter into agreements with our employees, consultants and partners, and through these and other written agreements, we attempt to control access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary technology and information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, third parties may, in an authorized or unauthorized manner, attempt to use, copy or otherwise obtain and market or distribute our intellectual property rights or technology or otherwise develop a product with the same functionality as our solution. Policing all unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights is nearly impossible. Therefore, we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken or will take in the future will prevent misappropriations of our technology or intellectual property rights.

We have developed our own software and do not use software licensed to us by third parties for processing electronic cash movements and calculating cash balances in lender members’ accounts.

None of our employees are represented by labor unions. We have not experienced any work stoppages and believe that our relations with our employees are good.

In July 2012, we entered into a lease agreement for approximately 16,900 square feet of additional space in our corporate headquarters location in San Francisco, CA, which includes our principal administrative, marketing, technical support and engineering functions. The lease commenced on September 15, 2012 and expires in June 2017. The average monthly rent expense for the additional space in our corporate headquarters is approximately $68,000 and we pledged $58,000 as a security deposit.

In April 2011, we entered into a lease agreement for approximately 18,200 square feet of space in San Francisco, CA for our corporate headquarters. The lease began on May 1, 2011 and expires in June 2017. We can terminate the lease upon nine months’ notice prior to the third anniversary of the lease. The average monthly rent expense for this space in our corporate headquarters is approximately $42,000 and we pledged $200,000 as a security deposit.

Since July 2010, we entered into several month-to-month or short-term lease agreements for the lease of office space, ranging from 250 to 400 square feet, in New York City. In December 2012, we renewed the lease for approximately 250 square feet for a New York City office for a one year term that expires on January 31, 2014.

Facilities rental expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $0.6 million. Facilities rental expense for fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 was $0.5 million.

The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, the Company does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of any such matter will have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

The consumer loan industry is highly regulated. We, and the Member Loans made through our platform, are subject to extensive and complex rules and regulations, licensing and examination by various federal, state and local government authorities. These authorities impose obligations and restrictions on our activities and the Member Loans made through our platform. In particular, these rules limit the fees that may be assessed on the Member Loans, require extensive disclosure to, and consents from, our participants, prohibit discrimination and impose multiple qualification and licensing obligations on platform activities. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses or registration, loss of approved status, voiding of the loan contracts, class action lawsuits, administrative enforcement actions and civil and criminal liability. While compliance with such requirements is at times complicated by our novel business model, we believe we are in substantial compliance with these rules and regulations. These rules and regulations are subject to continuous change, however, and a material change could have an adverse effect on our compliance efforts and ability to operate.

We hold licenses in a number of states and are otherwise authorized to conduct activities on a uniform basis in all other states and the District of Columbia, with the exceptions of Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maine Mississippi, Nebraska and North Dakota. State licensing statutes impose a variety of requirements and restrictions, including:

The statutes also subject us to the supervisory and examination authority of state regulators in certain cases.

Section 521 of the Depository Institution Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 (12 U.S.C. § 1831d) and Section 85 of the National Bank Act (NBA) (12 U.S.C. § 85), federal case law interpreting the NBA such as Tiffany v. National Bank of Missouri and Marquette National Bank of Minneapolis v. First Omaha Service Corporation, and FDIC advisory opinion 92-47 permit FDIC-insured depository institutions, such as WebBank, to “export” the interest rate permitted under the laws of the state where the bank is located, regardless of the usury limitations imposed by the state law of the borrower’s residence unless the state has chosen to opt out of the exportation regime. WebBank is located in Utah, and Title 70C of the Utah Code does not limit the amount of fees or interest that may be charged by WebBank on loans of the type offered through our platform. Only Iowa and Puerto Rico have opted out of the exportation regime under Section 525 of DIDA and we do not operate in either jurisdiction. However, we believe that if a state in which we did operate opted out of rate exportation that judicial interpretations support the view that such opt outs only apply to loans “made” in those states. As the loan document states that “…the [Promissory] Note will be entered into in the state of Utah,” we believe that the “opt-out” of any state would not affect the ability of our platform to benefit from the exportation of rates. If a loan made through our platform was deemed to be subject to the usury laws of a state that has opted-out of the exportation regime, we could become subject to fines, penalties, possible forfeiture of amounts charged to borrowers and we may decide not to originate loans in that applicable jurisdiction, which may adversely impact our growth.

We are subject to state laws and regulations that impose requirements related to loan disclosures and terms, credit discrimination, credit reporting, debt collection and unfair or deceptive business practices. Our ongoing compliance program seeks to comply with these requirements.

The Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”), and Regulation Z, which implements it, require lenders to provide consumers with uniform, understandable information concerning certain terms and conditions of their loan and credit transactions. These rules apply to WebBank as the creditor for Member Loans facilitated through our platform, but because the transactions are carried out on our hosted website, we facilitate compliance. For closed-end credit transactions of the type provided through our platform, these disclosures include providing the annual percentage rate, the finance charge, the amount financed, the number of payments and the amount of the monthly payment. The creditor must provide the disclosures before the loan is closed. TILA also regulates the advertising of credit and gives borrowers, among other things, certain rights regarding updated disclosures and the treatment of credit balances. Our platform provides borrowers with a TILA disclosure at the time a borrower member posts a loan request on the platform. If the borrower member’s request is not fully funded and the borrower chooses to accept a lesser amount offered, we provide an updated TILA disclosure. We also seek to comply with TILA’s disclosure requirements related to credit advertising.

The federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”) prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, marital status, or the fact that all or part of the applicant’s income derives from any public assistance program or the fact that the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the federal Consumer Credit Protection Act or any applicable state law. Regulation B, which implements ECOA, restricts creditors from requesting certain types of information from loan applicants and from making statements that would discourage on a prohibited basis a reasonable person from making or pursuing an application. These requirements apply both to a lender such as WebBank as well as to a party such as ourselves that regularly participates in a credit decision. Investors may also be subject to the ECOA in their capacity as purchasers of Notes, if they are deemed to regularly participate in credit decisions. In the underwriting of Member Loans on the platform, both WebBank and us seek to comply with ECOA’s provisions prohibiting discouragement and discrimination. As further measures, borrowers are instructed not to provide the type of information that creditors are not permitted to request from applicants under the ECOA and the investor agreement requires investors to comply with the ECOA in their selection of Member Loans they designate for funding. The ECOA also requires creditors to provide consumers with timely notices of adverse action taken on credit applications. WebBank and us provide prospective borrowers who apply for a loan through the platform but are denied credit with a joint adverse action notice in compliance with the ECOA requirements (see also below regarding “Fair Credit Reporting Act”).

The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), administered by the Federal Trade Commission, promotes the accuracy, fairness and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. FCRA requires a permissible purpose to obtain a consumer credit report, and requires persons to report loan payment information to credit bureaus accurately. FCRA also imposes disclosure requirements on creditors who take adverse action on credit applications based on information contained in a credit report. Effective August 1, 2009, we must also develop and implement an identity theft prevention program for combating identity theft. WebBank and ourselves have a permissible purpose for obtaining credit reports on potential borrowers and also obtain explicit consent from borrowers to obtain such reports. As the servicer for the Member Loans, we accurately report member loan payment and delinquency information to consumer reporting agencies. We provide a combined ECOA/FCRA adverse action notice to a rejected borrower on WebBank’s behalf at the time the borrower is rejected that includes the required disclosures. We have implemented an identity theft prevention program.

The Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”) provides guidelines and limitations on the conduct of third-party debt collectors in connection with the collection of consumer debts. The FDCPA limits certain communications with third parties, imposes notice and debt validation requirements, and prohibits threatening, harassing or abusive conduct in the course of debt collection. While the FDCPA applies to third-party debt collectors, debt collection laws of certain states impose similar requirements on creditors who collect their own debts. Our agreement with its investors prohibits investors from attempting to directly collect on the Member Loans. Actual collection efforts in violation of this agreement are unlikely given that investors do not learn the identity of borrower members. We use our internal collection team and a professional third-party debt collection agent to collect delinquent accounts. They are required to comply with the FDCPA and all other applicable laws in collecting delinquent accounts of our borrower members.

The federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) limits the disclosure of nonpublic personal information about a consumer to nonaffiliated third parties and requires financial institutions to disclose certain privacy policies and practices with respect to information sharing with affiliated and nonaffiliated entities as well as to safeguard personal customer information. A number of states have similarly enacted privacy and data security laws requiring safeguards to protect the privacy and security of consumers’

personally identifiable information and to require notification to affected customers in the event of a breach. We have a detailed privacy policy, which complies with GLBA and is accessible from every page of our website. We maintain participants’ personal information securely, and we do not sell, rent or share such information with third parties for marketing purposes unless previously agreed to by the participant . In addition, we take a number of measures to safeguard the personal information of our members and protect against unauthorized access.

The federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (“SCRA”) allows military members to suspend or postpone certain civil obligations so that the military member can devote his or her full attention to military duties. The SCRA requires we adjust the interest rate of borrowers who qualify for and request relief. If a borrower member with an outstanding Member Loan is called to active military duty and can show that such military service has materially affected the member’s ability to make payments on the loan, we will reduce the interest rate on the loan to 6% for the duration of the borrower member’s active duty. During this period, the investors who have purchased Notes dependent on such Member Loan will not receive the difference between 6% and the loan’s original interest rate. For a borrower member to obtain an interest rate reduction on a Member Loan due to military service, we require the borrower member to send us a written request and a copy of the borrower member’s mobilization orders. We do not take military service into account in assigning loan grades to borrower Member Loan requests and we do not disclose the military status of borrowers to investors.

In July 2010 the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act is extensive and significant legislation that, among other things:

The various requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, including the many implementing regulations which have yet to be released, may substantially impact our facilitation, servicing or securitization activities. With respect to the new liquidation framework for systemically important entities, no assurances can be given that such framework would not apply to us. Guidance from the FDIC indicates that such new framework will largely be exercised in a manner consistent with the existing bankruptcy laws, which is the insolvency regime which would otherwise apply to us. The SEC has proposed significant changes to the rules applicable to issuers and sponsors of asset-backed securities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. With the proposed changes we could potentially see an adverse impact in our access to the asset-backed securities capital markets and lessened effectiveness of our financing programs.

The federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act (“EFTA”), and Regulation E, which implements it, provides guidelines and restrictions on the electronic transfer of funds from consumers’ bank accounts. In addition transfers performed by ACH electronic transfers are subject to detailed timing and notification rules and guidelines administered by the National Automated Clearinghouse Association (“NACHA”). Most transfers of funds in connection with the origination and repayment of the Member Loans are performed by ACH. We obtain necessary electronic authorization from members for such transfers in compliance with such rules. Transfers of funds through the platform are executed by Wells Fargo and conform to the EFTA, its regulations and NACHA guidelines.

Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act/Uniform Electronic Transactions Act

The federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“ESIGN”) and similar state laws, particularly the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”), authorize the creation of legally binding and enforceable agreements utilizing electronic records and signatures. ESIGN and UETA require businesses that want to use electronic records or signatures in consumer transactions to obtain the consumer’s consent to receive information electronically. When a borrower or investor registers on the platform, we obtain his or her consent to transact business electronically and maintain electronic records in compliance with ESIGN and UETA requirements.

In cooperation with WebBank, we implement the various anti-money laundering and screening requirements of applicable federal law. With respect to new borrower members, we apply the customer verification program rules and screen names against the list of Specially Designated Nationals maintained by OFAC pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act amendments to the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) and its implementing regulation. We also have an anti-money laundering policy and procedures in place to voluntarily comply with the anti-money laundering requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and the BSA.

From time to time, various types of federal and state legislation are proposed and new regulations are introduced that could result in additional regulation of, and restrictions on, the business of consumer lending. We cannot predict whether any such legislation or regulations will be adopted or how this would affect our business or our important relationships with third parties. In addition, the interpretation of existing legislation may change or may prove different than anticipated when applied to our novel business model. Compliance with such requirements could involve additional costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial lending in the United States, our business is particularly susceptible to being affected by federal and state legislation and regulations that may increase the cost of doing business.

In addition, see “Risk Factors – Financial regulatory reform could result in restrictions, oversight and costs that have an adverse effect on our business” regarding the risks of government financial regulatory reform plans.

We do not permit non-U.S. based individuals to register as member borrowers on the platform and the lending platform does not operate outside the United States. It is, therefore, not subject to foreign laws or regulations for borrower applicants.

In October 2010, we formed LCA, which is wholly-owned by LendingClub. LCA is registered with the SEC as an investment advisor. LCA commenced operations after January 1, 2011 and, as of December 31, 2012, was the general partner to three private investment funds for accredited investors and qualified purchasers with differing investment strategies. In connection with the funds, we formed the Trust, a Delaware business trust, to act as a bankruptcy remote vehicle for holding portions of Member Loans related to Certificates purchased by the funds and separately managed accounts (“SMAs”) separate and apart from the Member Loans and other assets of ours. An independent third party acts as trustee of the Trust. We and the Trust have entered into a purchase agreement in which the Trust purchases Member Loans from us and servicing agreement whereby we service the loans acquired by the Trust in a manner identical to other loans; the Trust earns a fee equal to 40 basis points, which is paid by LCA, the general partner of the funds.

LCA earns a management fee paid by the limited partners of the funds, which is based on the month-end capital account balances of each of the limited partners of each fund.

Beginning January 2012, LCA also began offering SMAs to individual investors. Funds in the SMA are invested in Certificates issued by the Trust. As of December 31, 2012, the SMAs had approximately $166 million in assets. LCA earns management fees paid by SMA investors, monthly in arrears, based on the month-end balances in the SMA accounts.

We believe that the principal driver of the funds’ ability to increase assets is the investment performance track record of the Member Loans facilitated through our platform. We have a historical ability to generate consistent, positive returns for our investors who purchased Notes from our platform. We also believe that our performance history is a key point of competitive differentiation for us.

LCA’s contribution to the Company’s overall consolidated financial results will be primarily driven by the combination of assets under management, the investment performance of the funds and the ability to attract additional investors. Competitive investment performance in rising markets and preservation of fund investor capital during periods of market volatility or decline are key determinates of the long term success of LCA’s business.

As of December 31, 2012, the funds had approximately $261.3 million in total assets under management by LCA with $28.3 million in escrow, which was contributed to the funds on January 1, 2013.

As of December 31, 2012, the SMAs had approximately $166 million in assets. LCA earns management fees paid by SMA investors, monthly in arrears, based on the month-end balances in the SMA accounts.

The Notes involve a high degree of risk. In deciding whether to purchase Notes, you should carefully consider the following risk factors. Any of the following risks could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Notes you purchase and could cause you to lose all or part of your initial purchase price or future principal and interest payments you expect to receive.

You may lose some or all of your initial purchase price for the Notes because the Notes are highly risky and speculative. Only investors who can bear the loss of their entire purchase price should purchase.

Notes are highly risky and speculative because payments on Notes depend entirely on payments to us of unsecured consumer finance obligations of individual borrowers and contemporaneous payments on the Notes, which are special, limited obligations of LendingClub. Notes are suitable purchases only for investors of adequate financial means. If you cannot afford to lose all of the money you plan to invest in Notes, you should not purchase Notes.

Payments on each Note depend entirely on the payments, if any, we receive on the corresponding Member Loan related to that Note. If a borrower member fails to make any payments on the corresponding Member Loan related to your Note, you will not receive any payments on your Note.

We will make payments pro rata on a series of Notes, net of our service charge, only if we receive the borrower member’s payments on the corresponding Member Loan and such payments clear and therefore become available for distribution to investors. We will not pay to investors any unsuccessful payment fees, check processing fees, collection fees we or our third-party collection agency charge. If we do not receive payments on the corresponding Member Loan related to your Note, you will not be entitled to any payments under the terms of the Notes, and you will not receive any payments. The failure of a borrower member to repay a loan is not an event of default under the terms of the Notes.

The Notes are special, limited obligations of ours only, and the Notes are not secured by any collateral or guaranteed or insured by any third party.

The Notes will not represent an obligation of borrower members or any other party except by us, and are special, limited obligations of ours. The Notes are not secured by any collateral and are not guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or any third party.

Member Loans are unsecured obligations and as such are not backed by any collateral or guaranteed nor are they insured by any third party, and you must rely on us and our designated third-party collection agency to pursue collection against any borrower member.

Member Loans are unsecured obligations of borrower members. They are not secured by any collateral, not guaranteed or insured by any third party and not backed by any governmental authority in any way. We and our designated third-party collection agency will, therefore, be limited in our ability to collect Member Loans.

Moreover, unsecured Member Loans are obligations of borrower members to us as assignee of the loan’s promissory note from WebBank, or obligations of borrower members to the Trust as assignee of the loan’s promissory note from us. Member Loans are not

obligations to holders of Notes. Holders of Notes will have no recourse against borrower members and no ability to pursue borrower members to collect payments under Member Loans. Holders of Notes may look only to us and the Trust, respectively, for payment of the Notes, and our obligation to pay the Notes is limited as described in this document. Furthermore, if a borrower member fails to make any payments on the Member Loan corresponding to a Note, the holder of that Note will not receive any payments on that Note. The holder of that Note will not be able to obtain the identity of the borrower member in order to contact the borrower member about the defaulted Member Loan.

If payments on the corresponding Member Loans become overdue, it is likely you will not receive the full principal and interest payments that you expect due to collection fees and other costs, and you may not recover any of your original purchase price.

If the borrower member fails to make a required payment on a Member Loan within 30 days of the due date, we will pursue reasonable collection efforts in respect of the Member Loan. We may handle collection efforts in respect of a delinquent Member Loan ourselves, or we may refer a delinquent Member Loan to a collection agency on the 31st day of its delinquency. These efforts will be considered reasonable collection efforts. If we refer a loan to a collection agency, we will have no other obligation to attempt to collect on that delinquent loan.

If payment amounts on a delinquent Member Loan are received from a borrower member more than 30 days after their due date, then we, or, if we have referred the delinquent loan to an outside collection agency, that collection agency, will retain a percentage of any funds recovered from such borrower member as a service fee before any principal or interest becomes payable to you from recovered amounts in respect of Notes related to the corresponding Member Loan.

We or the collection agency may be unable to recover some or all of the unpaid balance of a non-performing Member Loan. You must rely on the collection efforts from us and the designated collection agency, and you are not permitted to attempt to collect payments on the Member Loans in any manner.

Borrowers may not view or treat their obligations to us as having the same significance as loans from traditional lending sources, such as bank loans and borrower loans may have a higher risk of default than loans of borrowers with similar credit scores to other lenders.

The investment return on the Notes depends on borrowers fulfilling their payment obligations in a timely and complete manner under the corresponding Member Loan. Borrowers may not view our lending obligations facilitated through our platform as having the same significance as other credit obligations arising under more traditional circumstances, such as loans from banks or other commercial financial institutions. If a borrower neglects his or her payment obligations on a Member Loan upon which payment of the corresponding Note is dependent or chooses not to repay his or her borrower loan entirely, you may not be able to recover any portion of your investment in a Note.

The initial maturity date and final maturity date for five year term loans is the same date. As such, you will not receive any payments we may receive after the maturity date of five year term loans.

The initial maturity date of all five year term loans will not be extended to a later date, so the initial maturity date of a five year term Member Loan will equal its initial maturity date, which is unlike the three year term loans where the initial maturity date may be extended. If a five year term loan was extended beyond five years, a portion of the interest paid would likely not be deductible by us. As a result, if we receive any principal and interest payments from a borrower after the maturity date of a five year term loan, we may retain 100% of these payments and are not obligated to distribute those payments to you.

Given the fact that we are not obligated to deliver any funds received by us after the final maturity date of a Note and we are responsible for collection efforts, a conflict of interest could exist as any delay in receiving borrower funds would result in additional money coming to us. There is, however, a significant mitigating factor to this potential conflict of interest. Without diligent collection efforts and success, fewer potential lenders will have the confidence to participate on the site, limiting our growth and long term profitability.

Our loan grading algorithm is based upon historical credit performance of certain populations and as a result the actual performance of a loan may not be consistent within or across loan grades and may result in an unanticipated loss of capital.

Our proprietary pricing algorithm is based primarily upon the historical loan performance of actual borrowers that meet the requirements of the algorithm, the assumed performance of applicants that would have been approved under the current algorithm but were declined by prior methodologies, and the exclusion of borrowers that were approved under prior methodologies but would have been declined under the new algorithm, in addition to other factors and assumptions. Because the algorithm is based upon these assumed performances and the assumptions of management, the actual performance of a graded loan may differ materially versus previously issued, similarly graded loans or other grades that may result in a greater loss of your investment capital than anticipated.

Credit Information that we receive about a borrower member may be inaccurate or may not accurately reflect the borrower member’s creditworthiness, which may cause you to lose part or all of the purchase price you pay for a Note.

We obtain borrower member credit information from consumer reporting agencies, such as TransUnion, Experian or Equifax, and assign one of 35 loan grades to loan requests, from A1 through G5, based on the reported credit score, other information reported by the consumer reporting agencies and the requested loan amount. A credit score or loan grade assigned to a borrower member may not reflect that borrower member’s actual creditworthiness because the credit score may be based on outdated, incomplete or inaccurate consumer reporting data, and we do not verify the information obtained from the borrower member’s credit report. Additionally, there is a risk that, following the date of the credit report that we obtain and review, a borrower member may have:

Moreover, investors do not, and will not, have access to consolidated financial statements of borrower members, or to other detailed financial information about borrower members.

Information supplied by borrower members may be inaccurate or intentionally false and should generally not be relied upon.

Borrower members supply a variety of information that is included in the borrower Member Loan listings on our website and in the posting reports and sales reports we file with the SEC. Other than as described below, we do not verify this information, and it may be inaccurate or incomplete. For example, we do not verify a borrower member’s stated tenure, job title, home ownership status or intention for the use of loan proceeds, and the information borrower member’s supply may be inaccurate or intentionally false. . Unless we have specifically indicated otherwise in a loan listing, we do not verify a borrower member’s stated income. For example, we do not verify borrower member paystubs, IRS Forms W-2, federal or state income tax returns, bank and savings account balances, retirement account balances, letters from employers, home ownership or rental records, car ownership records or any records related to past bankruptcy and legal proceedings. In the limited cases in which we have selected borrower members for income or employment verification, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, approximately 68.0% of requested borrower members provided us with satisfactory responses to verify their income or employment; approximately 8.3% of requested borrower members withdrew their applications for loans, and approximately 32.1% of requested borrower members either failed to respond to our request in full or provided information that failed to verify their stated information, and we therefore removed those borrower Members’ Loan postings. The identity of borrower members is not revealed to investors, and investors also have no ability to obtain or verify borrower member information either before or after they purchase a Note. Potential investors may only communicate with borrower members through our website postings, and then only on an anonymous basis. While we may monitor website posting for appropriate content, we do not verify any information in the postings nor do we respond to requests from investor or borrower members in any posting and any response to the contrary should not be seen as accurate.

If you rely on false, misleading or unverified information supplied by borrower members in deciding to purchase Notes, you may lose part or all of the purchase price you pay for a Note. Loan posting and borrower member information available on our website will be statements made in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, and therefore subject to Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Loan posting and borrower member information filed in prospectus supplements will be subject to the liability provisions of the Securities Act. In this document, we advise potential investors as to the limitations on the reliability of this information, and an investor’s recourse in the event this information is false will be extremely limited. Consequently, investors should rely on loan grade, which we determine based on third-party credit report information, and the size of the loan request, and should not rely on unverified information provided by borrower members.

You should not assume that a Note is appropriate for you as an investment vehicle just because it corresponds to a loan listed on our platform or is included in a portfolio built based upon your investment criteria through any of the portfolio tool.

While we take precautions to prevent borrower member identity fraud, it is possible that identity fraud may still occur and adversely affect your ability to receive the principal and interest payments that you expect to receive on Notes.

We use identity checks with a third-party provider to verify each borrower member’s identity and credit history. Notwithstanding our efforts, there is a risk that identity fraud may occur without our detecting it, and a loan obtained by identity fraud may simply default.. While we will repurchase Notes in limited identity fraud circumstances involving the corresponding Member Loan, we are not otherwise obligated to repurchase a Note from you for any other reason. From October 2008, when we commenced the issuance

of Notes, through December 31, 2012, we had repurchased Notes relating to thirty four corresponding Member Loans in which identity fraud occurred. If we repurchase a Note based on identity fraud involving the corresponding Member Loan, you will only receive an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Note.

We have the exclusive right to investigate claims of identity theft and determine, in our sole discretion, whether verifiable identity theft has occurred. As we are the sole entity with the ability to investigate and determine verifiable identity theft, which triggers our repurchase obligation, a conflict of interest exists as the denial of a claim under our identity theft guarantee would save us from the repurchase obligation. There are, however, three factors that mitigate the risk of this conflict. Without the protection offered by this guarantee, fewer potential lenders will have the confidence to participate on the site, limiting our growth and long term profitability. In addition, our relationship with WebBank includes a requirement – and accompanying audit function – to insure that claims of identity theft are thoroughly investigated and accurately reported. Finally, California statutes include severe penalties owed to the victim of identity theft if it is shown that a claim of identity theft was not adequately investigated or frivolously dismissed.

Our performance data about borrower member performance on our Member Loans is just over five years old. Default and charge-off rates on Member Loans may increase.

Due to our limited operational and loan origination history, we have limited historical performance data regarding borrower member performance on the Member Loans, and we do not yet know what the long-term loan loss experience may be. As of December 31, 2012, for only those loans that meet our current credit policy, our aggregate default and charged-off rate was 2.29% of the principal balance of loans. As of December 31, 2012, for all loans, our default and charged-off rate was 2.57% of the principal balanced of loans. These default and charge-off rates may increase in the future. In addition, as we do not have significant experience in the performance of five-year unsecured consumer loans, the future default rates on these loan types is uncertain and may exceed our current expectations. As actual loan loss experience increases on our platform, we may change how loan interest rates are set, and investors who have purchased Notes prior to any such changes will not benefit from these changes.

Default rates on Member Loans may increase as a result of economic conditions beyond our control and beyond the control of borrower members.

Member Loan default rates may be significantly affected by economic downturns or general economic conditions beyond our control and beyond the control of individual borrower members. In particular, default rates on Member Loans on which the Notes are dependent may increase due to factors such as prevailing interest rates, the rate of unemployment, the level of consumer confidence, residential real estate values, the value of the U.S. dollar, energy prices, changes in consumer spending, the number of personal bankruptcies, disruptions in the credit markets and other factors. The significant downturn in the United States economy that occurred in the past several years caused default rates on consumer loans to increase, and a continuation of the downturn will likely result in continued high or increased Member Loan default rates.

If you decide to invest through the platform and concentrate your investment in a single Note (or a small number of Notes), your entire return will depend on the performance of a single Member Loan.

Member Loans facilitated through our platform have a wide range of credit grades, and we expect that some borrower members at all credit grades will default on their Member Loans. If you decide to invest through the platform and concentrate your investment in a single Note (or a small number of Notes) your entire return will depend on the performance of that single Member Loan (or that concentrated small number of Notes). For example, if you plan to purchase $100 of Notes, and choose to invest the entire $100 in a single Note instead of in four $25 Notes corresponding to the Member Loans of four different borrowers, you would lose your entire $100 investment if that single borrower defaulted. Failing to diversify your investment increases the risk of losing your entire investment due to a single borrower member’s default, or a small number of borrower member defaults. Diversification, however, will not eliminate the risk that you may lose some, or all, of the expected principal and interest payments on the Notes.

In the unlikely event that we receive payments on the corresponding Member Loans relating to the Notes after the final maturity date, you will not receive payments on the Notes after final maturity.

Each Note will mature on its initial maturity date of either three or five years from its issuance date, unless any principal or interest payments in respect of the corresponding borrower loan remain due and payable to us upon the initial maturity date. For three year loans, if the loan remains due and payable on the initial maturity date, the maturity of the Note will be automatically extended to the five year anniversary of the loan, which will be its final maturity date. In contrast, the maturity date of a five year loan is never extended, so the initial maturity date of a five year Member Loan will equal its final maturity date. If there are any amounts under the corresponding Member Loan still due and owing to us after the final maturity, we will have no further obligation to make payments on the Notes of the series, even if we receive payments on the corresponding Member Loan after the final maturity.

Given the fact that we are not obligated to deliver any funds received by us after the final maturity date of a Note and are responsible for collection efforts, a conflict of interest could exist as any delay in receiving borrower funds would result in additional money coming to us. There is, however, a significant mitigating factor to this potential conflict. Without diligent collection efforts and success, fewer potential lenders will have the confidence to participate on the site, limiting our growth and long term profitability.

The Member Loans on which the Notes are dependent do not restrict borrower members from incurring additional unsecured or secured debt, nor do they impose any financial restrictions on borrower members during the term of the Member Loan, which may increase the likelihood that a borrower member may default on their loan.

All Member Loans are credit obligations of individual borrower members. If a borrower member incurs additional debt after obtaining a Member Loan through our platform, that additional debt may adversely affect the borrower member’s creditworthiness generally, and could result in the financial distress, insolvency, or bankruptcy of the borrower member. This circumstance could ultimately impair the ability of that borrower member to make payments on the borrower’s Member Loan and your ability to receive the principal and interest payments that you expect to receive on Notes dependent on those loans. . To the extent that the borrower member has or incurs other indebtedness and cannot pay all of its indebtedness, the borrower member may choose to make payments to other creditors, rather than to us.

As to these Member Loans, to the extent borrower members incur other indebtedness that is secured, such as mortgage, home equity or auto loans, the ability of the secured creditors to exercise remedies against the assets of the borrower member may impair the borrower member’s ability to repay the borrower loan on which your Note is dependent for payment, or it may impair our ability to collect on the loan if it goes unpaid. Since the Member Loans are unsecured, borrower members may choose to repay obligations under other indebtedness before repaying Member Loans facilitated through our platform because the borrower members have no collateral at risk. An investor will not be made aware of any additional debt incurred by a borrower member, or whether such debt is secured.

Member Loans do not contain any cross-default or similar provisions. If borrower members default on their debt obligations other than the Member Loans, the ability to collect on Member Loans on which the Notes are dependent may be substantially impaired.

The Member Loans do not contain cross-default provisions. A cross-default provision makes a default under certain debt of a borrower member an automatic default on other debt of that borrower member. The effect of this can be to allow other creditors to move more quickly to claim any assets of the borrower member. Because the Member Loans do not contain cross-default provisions, a Member Loan will not be placed automatically in default upon that borrower member’s default on any of the borrower member’s other debt obligations, unless there are relevant independent grounds for a default on the Member Loan.

In addition, the Member Loans will not be referred to a third-party collection agency for collection because of a borrower member’s default on debt obligations other than the Member Loan. If a borrower member defaults on debt obligations owed to a third party and continues to satisfy payment obligations under the Member Loan, the third party may seize the borrower’s assets or pursue other legal action against the borrower member before the borrower member defaults on the Member Loan. Payments on Notes may be substantially reduced if the borrower member subsequently defaults on the Member Loans and you may be unable to recoup any or all of your expected principal and interest payments on those Notes.

Borrower members may seek the protection of debtor relief under federal bankruptcy or state insolvency laws, which may result in the nonpayment of the Notes.

Borrower members may seek protection under federal bankruptcy law or similar laws. If a borrower member files for bankruptcy (or becomes the subject of an involuntary petition), a stay will go into effect that will automatically put any pending collection actions, on hold and prevent further collection action absent bankruptcy court approval. If we receive notice that a borrower member has filed for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws, or has become the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy petition, we will put the borrower Member’s Loan account into “bankruptcy status.” When we put a Member Loan into bankruptcy status, we terminate automatic monthly Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) debits and do not undertake collection activity without bankruptcy court approval. Whether any payment will ultimately be made or received on a Member Loan after a bankruptcy status is declared, depends on the borrower member’s particular financial situation and the determination of the court. It is possible that the borrower member’s personal liability on the Member Loan will be discharged in bankruptcy. In most cases involving the bankruptcy of a borrower member with an unsecured loan, unsecured creditors, including us and the Trust as holders of the Member Loans, will receive only a fraction of any amount outstanding on their Member Loans, if anything.

Federal law entitles borrower members who enter active military service to an interest rate cap and certain other rights that may inhibit the ability to collect on loans and reduce the amount of interest paid on the corresponding Notes.

Federal law provides borrower members on active military service with rights that may delay or impair our ability to collect on a borrower Member Loan corresponding to your Note. The Service members Civil Relief Act (“SCRA”) requires that the interest rate on preexisting debts, such as Member Loans, be set at no more than 6% while the qualified service member or reservist is on active duty. A holder of a Note that is dependent on such a Member Loan will not receive the difference between 6% and the original stated interest rate for the Member Loan during any such period.

This law also permits courts to stay proceedings and execution of judgments against service members and reservists on active duty, which may delay recovery on any Member Loans in default, and, accordingly, payments on Notes that are dependent on these Member Loans. If there are any amounts under such a Member Loan still due and owing to us after the final maturity of the Notes that correspond to the Member Loan, we will have no further obligation to make payments on the Notes, even if we later receive payments after the final maturity of the Notes. We do not take military service into account in assigning loan grades to borrower Member Loan requests. In addition, as part of the borrower member registration process, we do not request our borrower members to confirm if they are a qualified service member or reservists within the meaning of the SCRA.

The death of a borrower member may substantially impair your ability to recoup the full purchase price of Notes that are dependent on the Member Loan to that borrower member or to receive the interest payments that you expect to receive on the Notes.

All borrower members are individuals. If a borrower member with outstanding obligations under a Member Loan dies while the Member Loan is outstanding, we will generally seek to work with the executor of the estate of the borrower member to obtain repayment of the Member Loan. However, the borrower member’s estate may not contain sufficient assets to repay the Member Loan on which your Note is dependent. In addition, if a borrower member dies near the end of the term of an unsecured Member Loan, it is unlikely that any further payments will be made on the Notes corresponding to such Member Loan, because the time required for the probate of the estate may extend beyond the initial maturity date and the final maturity date of the Notes.

The LendingClub platform allows a borrower member to prepay a Member Loan at any time without penalty. Borrower member loan prepayments will extinguish or limit your ability to receive additional interest payments on a Note.

Borrower Member Loan prepayment occurs when a borrower member decides to pay some or all of the principal amount on a Member Loan earlier than originally scheduled. A borrower member may decide to prepay all or a portion of the remaining principal amount at any time without penalty. In the event of a prepayment of the entire remaining unpaid principal amount of a Member Loan on which the Notes are dependent, you will receive your share of such prepayment, net of our 1.00% service fee applicable to Notes, but further interest will not accrue after the date on which the payment is made. If a borrower member prepays a portion of the remaining unpaid principal balance on a Member Loan on which the Notes are dependent, we will reduce the outstanding principal amount and interest will cease to accrue on the prepaid portion.

The combination of the reduced principal amount and the unchanged monthly payment cause the effective term of the Member Loan to decline. If a borrower member prepays a Member Loan in full or in part, you will not receive all of the interest payments that you originally expected to receive on Notes that are dependent on that Member Loan, and you may not be able to find a similar rate of return on another investment at the time at which the Member Loan is prepaid. Prepayments of loans passed onto Note holders are subject to our 1.00% service charge, even if the prepayment occurs immediately after issuance of your Note. The return on the Note may actually be negative if prepayment occurs within the first few months after issuance.

We permit borrowers who have remained in good standing for a period of at least six months the ability to take out a second loan through our platform. We do not prohibit such borrowers from using the proceeds of a second loan to repay the first loan and there are circumstances in which a borrower will take out a second loan on our platform to repay the first loan. We will benefit from receiving a loan origination fee and servicing fees on each of the two loans, but an investor may not enjoy the benefit of investing in the Notes related to the two loans.

Prevailing interest rates may change during the term of the Member Loan on which your Note is dependent. If this occurs, you may receive less value from your purchase of the Note in comparison to other investment opportunities. Additionally, borrower members may prepay their Member Loans due to changes in interest rates, and you may not be able to redeploy the amounts you receive from prepayments in a way that offers you the return you expected to receive from the Notes.

The Member Loans on which the Notes are dependent have a term of three or five years and bear fixed, not floating, rates of interest. If prevailing interest rates increase, the interest rates on Notes you purchased might be less than the current rate of return you could earn if you invested your purchase price in other investments. While you may still receive a return on your purchase price for the Notes through the receipt of amounts equal to the interest portion of a borrower member’s payments on the Member Loan, if prevailing interest rates exceed the rate of interest payable on the Member Loan, the payments you receive during the term of the Note may not reflect the full opportunity cost to you when you take into account factors such as the time value of money.

There is no prepayment penalty for borrower members who prepay their Member Loans. If prevailing interest rates on consumer loans decrease, borrower members may choose to prepay their Member Loans with money they borrow from other sources or other resources, and you may not receive the interest payments on Notes dependent on those Member Loans that you expect to receive or be able to find an alternative use of your money to realize a similar rate of return at the time at which the Note is prepaid.

Your investor account that enables you to purchase Notes represents an interest in a pooled demand deposit account maintained by us “in trust for” investors (“ITF account”) that does not earn interest. Similarly your investor account that enables you to purchase represents either a discrete or pooled demand deposit account maintained by an independent custodian “as custodian for” investors that does not earn interest. Investor funds committed to purchase Notes represent binding commitments, and such committed funds may not be withdrawn from member investor accounts (unless and until corresponding Member Loans included in the order are not funded, in which case the corresponding funds become available to the investor again). Funds committed to purchase Notes will not earn interest in the ITF account or custodial accounts, respectively, and interest will not begin to accrue on a Note until the corresponding Member Loan has closed and the Note is issued.

The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange, will not be transferable except for Notes transferable through the Note Trading Platform by FOLIOfn, and must be held only by LendingClub investors. You should be prepared to hold the Notes you purchase until they mature.

The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. All Notes must be held by LendingClub members. The Notes will not be transferable except through the Note Trading Platform by FOLIOfn Investments, Inc. (“FOLIOfn”), a registered broker-dealer and the trading platform is not available to residents of all states. There can be no assurance that an active market for Notes will develop on the trading platform, that there will be a buyer for any particular Notes listed for resale on the trading platform or that the trading platform will continue to operate. Therefore, investors must be prepared to hold their Notes to maturity.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes are uncertain.

There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings, or judicial decisions that directly address the characterization of the Notes, or instruments similar to the Notes, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, although the matter is not free from doubt, we intend to treat the Notes as our indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result of such treatment, the Notes will have original issue discount, or OID, for U.S. federal income tax purposes because payments on the Notes are dependent on payments on the corresponding Member Loan. Further, a holder of a Note, other than a holder that is holding the Note in a tax deferred account such as an IRA, will be required to include the OID in income as ordinary interest income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as it accrues (which may be in advance of interest being paid on the Note), regardless of such holder’s regular method of accounting. This characterization is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may take contrary positions.

Any differing treatment of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes could significantly affect the amount, timing and character of income, gain or loss in respect of an investment in the Notes. Accordingly, all prospective purchasers of the Notes are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the purchase and ownership of Notes (including any possible differing treatments of the Notes).

We have a limited operating history. As an online company in the early stages of development, we face increased risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties.

To be successful, the number of borrower members and its investors and the volume of member loans originated through our platform will need to increase, which will require us to increase our facilities, personnel and infrastructure to accommodate the greater servicing obligations and demands on our platform. Our platform is dependent upon our website to maintain current listings and transactions in the member loans and Notes. We must constantly add new hardware and update our software and website, expand our customer support services and retain an appropriate number of employees to maintain the operations of our platform, as well as to satisfy our servicing obligations on the member loans and make payments on the Notes. If we are unable to increase the capacity of our platform and maintain the necessary infrastructure, you may experience delays in receipt of payments on the Notes and periodic downtime of our systems.

We have incurred net losses in the past and have only recently become operating cash flow positive. If we are unable to sustain our positive growth and become insolvent or bankrupt, you may lose your investment.

As of December 31, 2012, our accumulated deficit was $57.6 million and our total stockholders’ deficit was $50.8 million. Our net loss for the nine month period ended December 31, 2012, was $4.2 million. For the nine month period ended December 31, 2012 we were operating cash-flow positive and we believe that will continue operating at or near breakeven between now and the end of our current fiscal year. However, if our assumptions regarding our growth and operating plan are incorrect, we may need to slow our

investment spending and/or find new funding to continue to operate our business. We currently believe that such funding would be available to us on terms that we would find acceptable. Any delay in securing, or failing to secure, any necessary funding could result in delays and operational slowdowns that could adversely affect the regularity of our processing payments, the cash flows on your investment and ultimately the value of your investment.

If we are unable to increase transaction volumes, our business and results of operations will be affected adversely.

To succeed, we must increase transaction volumes on our platform by attracting a large number of borrower members and investors in a cost-effective manner, many of whom have not previously participated in an online financial community. We have experienced a high number of inquiries from potential borrower members who do not meet our criteria for submitting a Member Loan request. We have also experienced, from time to time, Member Loan requests for amounts that exceed the aggregate amount of investor purchase commitments. If there are not sufficient qualified loan requests, investors may be unable to deploy their capital in a timely or efficient manner. If there are not sufficient investor purchase commitments, borrowers may be unable to obtain funding for their loans and become discouraged from using our platform for their borrowing needs.

If we are not able to attract qualified borrower members and sufficient investor purchase commitments, we will not be able to increase our transaction volumes. Additionally, we rely on a variety of methods to drive traffic to our website. If we are unable to use any of our current or future marketing initiatives or the cost of these initiatives were to significantly increase, we may not be able to attract new members in a cost-effective manner and, as a result, our revenue and results of operations would be affected adversely, which may impair our ability to maintain our platform.

The market in which we participate is competitive and, if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.

The consumer lending market is competitive and rapidly changing. We expect competition to persist and intensify in the future, which could harm our ability to increase volume on our platform.

Our principal competitors include major banking institutions, credit unions, credit card issuers and other consumer finance companies, as well as other online lending platforms. Competition could result in reduced volumes, reduced fees or the failure of our online lending platform to achieve or maintain more widespread market acceptance, any of which could harm our business. In addition, in the future we may experience new competition from more established internet companies who possess large, existing customer bases, substantial financial resources and established distribution channels. If any of these companies or any major financial institution decided to enter the online lending business, acquire one of our existing competitors or form a strategic alliance with one of our competitors, our ability to compete effectively could be significantly compromised and our operating results could be harmed.

Most of our current or potential competitors have significantly more financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their platforms and distribution channels. Our potential competitors may also have longer operating histories, more extensive customer bases, greater brand recognition and broader customer relationships than we have. These competitors may be better able to develop new products, to respond quickly to new technologies and to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns. Our industry is driven by constant innovation. If we are unable to compete with such companies and meet the need for innovation, the demand for our platform could stagnate or substantially decline.

If we fail to promote and maintain our brand in a cost-effective manner, we may lose market share and our revenue may decrease.

We believe that developing and maintaining awareness of our brand in a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our online financial community and attracting new members. Successful promotion of our brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and the member experience on our platform. Historically, our efforts to build our brand have involved significant expense, and it is likely that our future marketing efforts will require us to incur significant additional expenses. These brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenues and, even if they do, any revenue increases may not offset the expenses we incur to promote our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand, or if we incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brand, we may lose our existing members to our competitors or be unable to attract new members, which would cause our revenue to decrease and may impair our ability to maintain our platform.

Our arrangements for backup servicing are limited. If we fail to maintain operations, you will experience a delay and increased cost in respect of your expected principal and interest payments on the Notes, and we may be unable to collect and process repayments from borrower members.

We have made arrangements for only limited backup servicing. If our platform were to fail or we became insolvent, we would attempt to transfer our Member Loan servicing obligations to our third party back-up servicer. There can be no assurance that this back-up servicer will be able to adequately perform the servicing of the outstanding Member Loans. If this back-up servicer assumes the servicing of the Member Loans, the back-up servicer will impose additional servicing fees, reducing the amounts available for payments on the Notes. Additionally, transferring these servicing obligations to our back-up servicer may result in delays in the processing and recovery of information with respect to amounts owed on the Member Loans or, if our platform becomes inoperable, may prevent us from servicing the Member Loans and making principal and interest payments on the Notes. If our back-up servicer is not able to service the Member Loans effectively, investors’ ability to receive principal and interest payments on their Notes may be substantially impaired.

If we were to become subject to a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, the rights of the holders of the Notes could be uncertain, and payments on the Notes may be limited and suspended or stopped. The Notes are unsecured and holders of the Notes do not have a security interest in the corresponding Member Loans or the proceeds of those corresponding Member Loans. The recovery, if any, of a holder on a Note may be substantially delayed and substantially less than the principal and interest due and to become due on the Note. Even funds held by us in accounts “in trust for” the holders of Notes may potentially be at risk.

If we were to become subject to a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, the recovery, if any, of a holder of a Note may be substantially delayed in time and may be substantially less in amount than the principal and interest due and to become due on the Note.

A bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us may cause delays in borrower member payments. Borrower members may delay payments to us on account of Member Loans because of the uncertainties occasioned by a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of ua, even if the borrower members have no legal right to do so, and such delay would reduce, at least for a time, the funds that might otherwise be available to pay the Notes corresponding to those Member Loans.

A bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us may cause delays in payments on Notes. The commencement of the bankruptcy or similar proceeding may, as a matter of law, prevent us from making regular payments on the Notes, even if the funds to make such payments are available. Because a bankruptcy or similar proceeding may take months or years to complete, the suspension of payment may effectively reduce the value of any recovery that a holder of a Note may receive (and no such recovery can be assured) by the time any recovery is available.

Interest accruing upon and following a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us may not be paid. In bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us, interest accruing on the Notes during the preceding may not be part of the allowed claim of a holder of a Note. If the holder of a Note receives a recovery on the Note (and no such recovery can be assured), any such recovery may be based on, and limited to, the claim of the holder of the Note for principal and for interest accrued up to the date of the bankruptcy or similar proceeding, but not thereafter. Because a bankruptcy or similar proceeding may take months or years to complete, a claim based on principal and on interest only up to the start of the bankruptcy or similar proceeding may be substantially less than a claim based on principal and on interest through the end of the bankruptcy or similar proceeding.

In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us there may be uncertainty regarding whether a holder of a Note has any priority right to payment from the corresponding Member Loan. The Notes are unsecured and holders of the Notes do not have a security interest in the corresponding Member Loans or the proceeds of those corresponding Member Loans. Accordingly, the holder of a Note may be required to share the proceeds of the corresponding Member Loan with any other creditor of ours that has rights in those proceeds. If such sharing of proceeds is deemed appropriate, those proceeds that are either held by us in the clearing account at the time of the bankruptcy or similar proceeding of ours, or not yet received by us from borrower members at the time of the commencement of the bankruptcy or similar proceeding, may be at greater risk than those proceeds that are already held by us in the “in trust for,” or ITF, account at the time of the bankruptcy or similar proceeding. To the extent that proceeds of the corresponding Member Loan would be shared with other creditors of ours, any secured or priority rights of such other creditors may cause the proceeds to be distributed to such other creditors before, or ratably with, any distribution made to you on your Note.

In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us, there may be uncertainty regarding whether a holder of a Note has any right of payment from assets of ours other than the corresponding Member Loan. In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us, it is possible that a Note could be deemed to have a right of payment only from proceeds of the corresponding Member Loan and not from any other assets of us, in which case the holder of the Note may not be entitled to share the proceeds of such other assets of us with other creditors of ours, whether or not, as described above, such other creditors would be entitled to share in the proceeds of the Member loan corresponding to the Note. Alternatively, it is possible that a Note could be deemed to have a right of payment from both the Member loan corresponding to the Note and from some or all other assets of ours, for example, based upon the automatic acceleration of the principal obligations on the Note upon the commencement of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, in which case the holder of the Note may be entitled to share the proceeds of such other assets of ours with other creditors of us, whether or not, as described above, such other creditors would be entitled to share in the proceeds of the Member Loan corresponding to the Note. To the extent that proceeds of such other assets would be shared with other creditors of ours, any secured or priority rights of such other creditors may cause the proceeds to be distributed to such other creditors before, or ratably with, any distribution made to you on your Note.

In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us, there may be uncertainty regarding the rights of a holder of a Note, if any, to payment from funds in the clearing account. If a borrower member has paid us on a Member Loan corresponding to a Note before a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us is commenced, and those funds are held in the clearing account and have not been used by us to make payments on the Note as of the date the bankruptcy or similar proceeding is commenced, there can be no assurance that we will or will be able to use such funds to make payments on the Note. Other creditors of ours may be deemed to have, or actually have, rights to such funds that are equal to or greater than the rights of the holder of the Note.

In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us, there may be uncertainty regarding the rights of a holder of a Note, if any, to access funds in the ITF account. If a borrower has paid us on a Member Loan corresponding to a Note before a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us is commenced, and those funds have been used by us to make payments on the Note prior to the date the bankruptcy or similar proceeding is commenced, but the payments on the Note continue to be held by us in an ITF account, there can be no assurance that the holder of the Note will have immediate access to the funds constituting the payment or that the funds constituting the payment will ultimately be released to the holder of the Note. While the Trust Agreement states that funds in the ITF account are trust property and are not intended to be property of ours or subject to claims of our creditors generally, there can be no assurance that, if the matter were to be litigated, such litigation would not delay or prevent the holder of a Note from accessing the portion of those funds in which the holder has an interest.

In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us, there may be uncertainty regarding the rights of a holder of a Note, if any, to the return of the purchase price of a Note if the corresponding Member Loan has not been funded. If the purchase price of a Note is paid to us and a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us is commenced, the holder of the Note may not be able to obtain a return of the funds constituting the purchase price, even if the Member Loan corresponding to the Note has not been funded as of the date that the bankruptcy or similar proceeding is commenced and even if the funds are held by us in the ITF account.

In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us, the holder of a Note may be delayed or prevented from enforcing our repurchase obligations in cases of confirmed identity fraud. In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us, any right of a holder of Note to require us to repurchase the Note as a result of a confirmed identity fraud incident may not be specifically enforced, and such holder’s claim for such repurchase may be treated less favorably than a general unsecured obligation of ours as described and subject to the limitations in this “Risks Related to LendingClub and the LendingClub Platform – If we were to become subject to a bankruptcy or similar proceeding” section.

In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us, the implementation of back-up servicing arrangements may be delayed or prevented. In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of us, our ability to transfer servicing obligations to our back-up servicer may be limited and subject to the approval of the bankruptcy court or other presiding authority. The bankruptcy process may delay or prevent the implementation of back-up servicing, which may impair the collection of Member Loans to the detriment of the Notes.

We rely on third-party banks to disburse Member Loan proceeds and process Member Loan payments, and we rely on third-party computer hardware and software. If we are unable to continue utilizing these services, our business and ability to service the Member Loans on which the Notes are dependent may be adversely affected.

We rely on a third-party bank to disburse the net proceeds of newly originated Member Loans. Additionally, because we are not a bank, we cannot belong to and directly access the ACH payment network, and we must rely on an FDIC-insured depository institution to process our transactions, including loan payments and remittances to holders of the Notes. We currently use Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. for these purposes. Under the ACH rules, if we experience a high rate of reversed transactions (known as “chargebacks”), we may be subject to sanctions and potentially disqualified from using the system to process payments. We also rely on computer hardware purchased and software licensed from third parties to operate our platform. This purchased or licensed hardware and software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we cannot continue to obtain such services from this institution or elsewhere, or if we cannot transition to another processor quickly, our ability to process payments will suffer and your ability to receive principal and interest payments on the Notes will be delayed or impaired.

If the security of our members’ confidential information stored in our systems is breached or otherwise subjected to unauthorized access, your secure information may be stolen, our reputation may be harmed, and we may be exposed to liability.

Our platform stores our borrower members’ and investors’ bank information and other personally-identifiable sensitive data. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access could cause your secure information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes. Security breaches or unauthorized access to secure information could also expose us to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation and negative publicity. If security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in our software are exposed and exploited, and, as a result, a third party or disaffected employee obtains unauthorized access to any of our members’ data, our relationships with our members will be severely damaged, and we could incur significant liability.

Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, we and our third-party hosting facilities may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In addition, many states have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving their personal data. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause our members to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures. Any security breach, whether actual or perceived, would harm our reputation, and we could lose members.

Our ability to service the Member Loans or maintain accurate accounts may be adversely affected by computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions.

The highly automated nature of our platform may make it an attractive target and potentially vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. If a “hacker” were able to infiltrate our platform, you would be subject to an increased risk of fraud or borrower identity theft, and may experience losses on, or delays in the recoupment of amounts owed on, a fraudulently induced purchase of a Note and Certificates. Additionally, if a hacker were able to access our secure files, he or she might be able to gain access to your personal information. While we have taken steps to prevent such activity from affecting our platform, if we are unable to prevent such activity, the value in the Notes and our ability to fulfill our servicing obligations and to maintain our platform would be adversely affected.

Any significant disruption in service on our website or in our computer systems could reduce the attractiveness of our platform and result in a loss of members.

If a catastrophic event resulted in a platform outage and physical data loss, our ability to perform our servicing obligations would be materially and adversely affected. The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our technology and our underlying network infrastructure are critical to our operations, level of customer service, reputation and ability to attract new members and retain existing members. Our system hardware is hosted in a hosting facility located in Las Vegas, Nevada, owned and operated by SwitchNet. We also maintain a real time backup system located in Santa Clara, CA owned and operated by SAVVIS. SwitchNet does not guarantee that our members’ access to our website will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure. Our operations depend on SwitchNet’s ability to protect their and our systems in their facilities against damage or interruption from natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures, air quality, temperature, humidity and other environmental concerns, computer viruses or other attempts to harm our systems, criminal acts and similar events. If our arrangement with SwitchNet is terminated, or there is a lapse of service or damage to SwitchNet facilities, we could experience interruptions in our service as well as delays and additional expense in arranging new facilities.

Any interruptions or delays in our service, whether as a result of SwitchNet other third-party error, our own error, natural disasters or security breaches, whether accidental or willful, could harm our relationships with our members and our reputation. Additionally, in the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur. Our disaster recovery plan has not been tested under actual disaster conditions, and we may not have sufficient capacity to recover all data and services in the event of an outage at a SwitchNet facility. These factors could prevent us from processing or posting payments on the Member Loans or the Notes, damage our brand and reputation, divert our employees’ attention, reduce our revenue, subject us to liability and cause members to abandon our platform, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Competition for our employees is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees whom we need to support our business.

Competition for highly skilled technical and financial personnel is extremely intense. We may not be able to hire and retain these personnel at compensation levels consistent with our existing compensation and salary structure. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced employees have greater resources than we have and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment.

In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to competitors who may seek to recruit them. If we fail to retain our employees, we could incur significant expenses in hiring and training their replacements and the quality of our services and our ability to serve our members could diminish, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business.

Our growth could strain our personnel resources and infrastructure, and if we are unable to implement appropriate controls and procedures to manage our growth, we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan.

Our growth in headcount and operations since our inception has placed, and will continue to place, to the extent that we are able to sustain such growth, a significant strain on our management and our administrative, operational and financial reporting infrastructure. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our senior management to manage the growth we achieve effectively. To do so, we must continue to hire, train and manage new employees as needed. If our new hires perform poorly, or if we are unsuccessful in hiring, training, managing and integrating these new employees, or if we are not successful in retaining our existing employees, our business may be harmed. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our operational and financial controls and update our reporting procedures and systems. The addition of new employees and the system development that we anticipate will be necessary to manage our growth will increase our cost base, which will make it more difficult for us to offset any future revenue shortfalls by reducing expenses in the short term. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, we will be unable to execute our business plan.

If we fail to retain our key personnel, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our business could suffer.

Our future depends, in part, on our ability to attract and retain key personnel. Our future also depends on the continued contributions of our executive officers and other key personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. In particular, our Founder/Chief Executive Officer is critical to the management of our business and operations and the development of our strategic direction. The loss of the services of Mr. Laplanche or other executive officers or key personnel and the process to replace any of our key personnel would involve significant time and expense and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives.

It may be difficult and costly to protect our intellectual property rights, and we may not be able to ensure their protection.

Our ability to maintain our platform and arrange Member Loans depends, in part, upon our proprietary technology.We may be unable to protect our proprietary technology effectively, however, which would allow competitors to duplicate our products and adversely affect our ability to compete with them. A third party may attempt to reverse engineer or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary technology without our consent. In addition, our platform may infringe upon claims of third-party patents, and we may face intellectual property challenges from such other parties. We may not be successful in defending against any such challenges or in obtaining licenses to avoid or resolve any intellectual property disputes. Furthermore, our technology may become obsolete, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully develop, obtain or use new technologies to adapt our platform to compete with other person-to-person lending platforms as they develop. If we cannot protect our proprietary technology from intellectual property challenges, or if the platform becomes obsolete, our ability to maintain the platform, arrange Member Loans or perform our servicing obligations on the Member Loans could be adversely affected.

Purchasers of Notes will have no control over us and will not be able to influence our corporate matters.

The Notes offered through our platform grant no equity interest in LendingClub to the purchaser nor grant the purchaser the ability to vote on or influence our corporate decisions. As a result, our stockholders will continue to exercise 100% voting control over all our corporate matters, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets.

Neither the Notes or the related indenture restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness. Any additional debt we incur may increase our risk of bankruptcy, which could impair your ability to receive the principal and interest payments you expect to receive on your Notes.

If we incur additional debt after the Notes are issued, it may adversely affect our creditworthiness generally, and could result in the financial distress, insolvency, or bankruptcy of LendingClub. As discussed above, the financial distress, insolvency or bankruptcy of LendingClub could impair your ability to receive the principal and interest payments you expect to receive on your Notes.

Events beyond our control may damage our ability to maintain adequate records, maintain our platform or perform our servicing obligations. If such events result in a system failure, your ability to receive principal and interest payments on the Notes would be substantially harmed.

If a catastrophic event resulted in our platform outage and physical data loss, our ability to perform our servicing obligations would be materially and adversely affected. Such events include, but are not limited to, fires, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, computer viruses and telecommunications failures. We store back-up records in offsite facilities located in Las Vegas, Nevada and Santa Clara, California. If our electronic data storage and back-up storage system are affected by such events, we cannot guarantee that you would be able to recoup your investment in the Notes.

Our platform is a novel approach to borrowing that may fail to comply with borrower protection laws such as state usury laws, other interest rate limitations or federal and state consumer protection laws such as the Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and their state counterparts. Borrower members may make counterclaims regarding the enforceability of their obligations after collection actions have commenced, or otherwise seek damages under these laws. Compliance with such regimes is also costly and burdensome.

Our platform operates a novel program that must comply with regulatory regimes applicable to all consumer credit transactions. The novelty of our platform means compliance with various aspects of such laws is untested. Certain state laws generally regulate interest rates and other charges and require certain disclosures. In addition, other state laws, public policy and general principles of equity relating to the protection of consumers, unfair and deceptive practices and debt collection practices may apply to the origination, servicing and collection of the Member Loans. Our platform is also subject to other federal and state laws, such as:

We may not always have been, and may not always be, in compliance with these laws. Compliance with these requirements is also costly, time-consuming and limits our operational flexibility.

If our platform was found to violate a state’s usury laws, your investment may lose substantial value and you may lose all of the interest due on your Note.

The interest rates that are charged to borrowers and that form the basis of payments to investors on our Notes are based upon the ability of WebBank, the issuer of the loan, to export the interest rates of Utah to provide for uniform rates to all borrowers. Federal law provides WebBank the authority to charge these interest rates. The current rates offered by WebBank though our platform range from approximately 6.78% to 27.99%. Of the forty-four jurisdictions whose residents may obtain loans (including the District of Columbia), only seven states (Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah) have no interest rate limitations on consumer loans, while all other jurisdictions have a maximum rate less than the current maximum rate offered by WebBank through our platform. If a borrower were to successfully bring a claim against us for a state usury law violation and the rate on the loan and Note underlying that borrower was greater than that allowed under applicable state law, the value of your investment may decline as you would not receive the total amount of interest you expected from your investment, and in some cases you may not receive any interest or principal. We may also be subject to fines and penalties. Moreover, such a finding could substantially harm our ability to operate our business in the manner currently contemplated.

Non-compliance with laws and regulations may impair our ability to arrange or service Member Loans.

Failure to comply with the laws and regulatory requirements applicable to our business may, among other things, limit our, or a collection agency’s, ability to collect all or part of the principal amount of or interest on the Member Loans on which the Notes are dependent for payment. In addition, our non-compliance could subject us to damages, revocation of required licenses or other authorities, class action lawsuits, administrative enforcement actions, and civil and criminal liability, which may harm our business and ability to maintain our platform and may result in borrower members rescinding their Member Loans.

Where applicable, we seek to comply with state small loan, loan broker, servicing and similar statutes. Currently, we do not provide services to borrowers in Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska and North Dakota. In all other U.S. jurisdictions with licensing or other requirements we believe may be applicable to make loans, we have obtained any necessary licenses or comply with the relevant requirements. Nevertheless, if we are found to not comply with applicable laws, we could lose one or more of our licenses or authorizations or face other sanctions or be required to obtain a license in such jurisdiction, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to continue to facilitate the origination of Member Loans through our platform, perform our servicing obligations or make our platform available to borrower members in particular states, which may impair your ability to receive the payments of principal and interest on the Notes that you expect to receive.

We rely on our agreement with WebBank to lend to qualified borrower members on a uniform basis throughout the United States. If our relationship with WebBank were to end, we may need to rely on individual state lending licenses to arrange Member Loans.

Borrower Member Loan requests take the form of an application to WebBank, which currently makes all loans to our borrower members who request loans through our platform, and allows our platform to be available to borrowers on a uniform basis throughout the United States. If our relationship with WebBank were to end or if WebBank were to cease operations, we may need to rely on individual state lending licenses to originate Member Loans. Because we do not currently possess state lending licenses in every U.S. state, we may be required to discontinue lending or limit the rates of interest charged on Member Loans in some states. We may face increased costs and compliance burdens if our agreement with WebBank is terminated.

Several lawsuits have sought to re-characterize certain loan marketers and other originators as lenders. If litigation on similar theories were successful against us, borrower loans facilitated through our platform could be subject to state consumer protection laws in a greater number of states.

Several lawsuits have brought under scrutiny the association between high-interest “payday loan” marketers and out-of-state banks. These lawsuits assert that payday loan marketers use out-of-state lenders in order to evade the consumer protection laws imposed by the states where they do business. Such litigation has sought to re-characterize the loan marketer as the lender for purposes of state consumer protection law restrictions. Similar civil actions have been brought in the context of gift cards. We believe that our activities are distinguishable from the activities involved in these cases.

Additional state consumer protection laws would be applicable to the Member Loans facilitated through our platform if we were re-characterized as a lender, and the borrower loans could be voidable or unenforceable. In addition, we could be subject to claims by borrower members, as well as enforcement actions by regulators. Even if we were not required to cease doing business with residents of certain states or to change our business practices to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could be required to register or obtain licenses or regulatory approvals that could impose a substantial cost on us. To date, no actions have been taken or threatened against us on the theory that we have engaged in unauthorized lending; however, such actions could have a material adverse effect on our business.

As internet commerce develops, federal and state governments may draft and propose new laws to regulate internet commerce, which may negatively affect our business.

As internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal and state governments becomes more likely. Our business could be negatively affected by the application of existing laws and regulations or the enactment of new laws applicable to lending. The cost to comply with such laws or regulations could be significant and would increase our operating expenses, and we may be unable to pass along those costs to our members in the form of increased fees. In addition, federal and state governmental or regulatory agencies may decide to impose taxes on services provided over the Internet. These taxes could discourage the use of the Internet as a means of consumer lending, which would adversely affect the viability of our platform.

Our legal compliance burdens and costs have significantly increased as a result of operating as a public company. Our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance matters.

The Notes are publicly registered thereby making us subject to certain reporting requirements of the Securities Act of 1934. Accordantly, we face costly compliance burdens, requiring significant legal, accounting and other expenses. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to SEC reporting compliance requirements. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, we performed system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404A of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Although through such testing we discovered no material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2012, subsequent testing by us or our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. To comply with Section 404A, we may incur substantial accounting expense, expend significant management time on compliance-related issues, and hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404A in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

If we discover a material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which we are unable to remedy, or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis may be adversely affected.

We are not currently required to have an audit of our internal control over financial reporting, and our independent registered public accounting firm has not performed such an audit. Should such a requirement arise and should we or our auditors discover a material weakness in our internal controls, our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis may be adversely affected.

If we are required to register under the Investment Company Act, our ability to conduct our business could be materially adversely affected.

The Investment Company Act of 1940, or the “Investment Company Act,” contains substantive legal requirements that regulate the manner in which “investment companies” are permitted to conduct their business activities. We believe we have conducted, and we intend to continue to conduct, our business in a manner that does not result in our company being characterized as an investment company. If, however, we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we were deemed to be an investment company, we may also attempt to seek exemptive relief from the SEC, which could impose significant costs and delays on our business.

If our registered investment adviser, LC Advisors, LLC, were found to have violated tine Investment Company Act, our ability to raise sufficient investor purchase commitments to meet borrower demand could be impaired.

Our subsidiary, LC Advisors, LLC, acts as an advisor to certain private funds and accredited investors who make large investor purchase commitments to invest in Trust certificates, representing borrower loans. Our ability to continue to advise these private funds and accredited investors depends on the continuing operation of LC Advisors. We believe we have conducted, and we intend to continue to conduct, the business of LC Advisors in substantial compliance with the Investment Company Act. If, however, we are deemed to have breached any of our obligations under the Investment Company Act, the activities of LC Advisors could be restricted, suspended or event terminated. If this were to occur, our ability to raise investor purchase commitments through these vehicles could be severely curtailed, and we may not be able to sufficiently meet demand for borrower loans. This could harm our business and make it difficult for both borrowers and investors to meet demand.

We have not reviewed our compliance with foreign laws regarding the participation of non-U.S. residents on our platform.

From time to time, non-U.S. residents purchase Notes directly on our platform. As of December 31, 2012, the percentage of Notes held (based upon dollar amounts) by such persons against all Notes issued since inception was approximately 3.0%. As we have not reviewed, the compliance of these sales with applicable foreign law, these sales of Notes could result in fines and penalties payable by us.

Recent Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives Have Imposed Restrictions and Requirements on Financial Institutions That Could Have an Adverse Effect on Our Business.

The financial industry is becoming more highly regulated. Legislation has been introduced recently by both U.S. and foreign governments relating to financial institutions and markets, including alternative asset management funds that would result in increased oversight and taxation. There has been, and may continue to be, a related increase in regulatory investigations of the trading and other investment activities of alternative investment funds. Such investigations may impose additional expenses by us, may require the attention of senior management and may result in fines if any of our funds are deemed to have violated any regulations.

Partly in response to the recent financial crisis, the President signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act. Few provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act were effective immediately, with various provisions becoming effective in stages. Many of the rules required to be implemented by governmental agencies still have not been promulgated or implemented. These rules have or expect to increase regulation of the financial services industry and impose restrictions on the ability of firms within the industry to conduct business consistent with historical practices. We cannot predict the substance or impact of pending or future legislation or regulation. Compliance with such legislation or regulation may, among other effects, significantly increase our costs, limit our product offerings and operating flexibility, require significant adjustments in our internal business processes, and possibly require us to maintain our regulatory capital at levels above historical practices.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On October 13, 2008, we commenced a public offering of up to $600 million in principal amount of the Notes pursuant to the Registration Statement (Registration Statement No. 333-151827) that was declared effective by the SEC on October 10, 2008. The offering was a continuous offering. On October 7, 2011, we filed a new Registration Statement registering $1,000,000,000 in principal amount of Notes (Registration Statement No. 333-177230) that was declared effective by the SEC on July 31, 2012. From October 13, 2008 to December 31, 2012, we sold $681.1 million in total principal amount of Notes at 100% of their principal amount. The Notes were offered only through our website, and there were no underwriters or underwriting discounts. In connection with the offering, we incurred estimated expenses of approximately $6.0 million, none of which were paid by us to our directors, officers, persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or affiliates. As set forth in the prospectus for the offering, we are using the proceeds of each series of Notes to fund a corresponding Member Loan at fair value through our platform designated by the lender members purchasing such series of Notes. None of the proceeds from the Notes are paid by us to our directors, officers, persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or affiliates.

We have no publicly traded equity securities. At December 31, 2012, there were 62 holders of record of our common stock. We have not paid cash dividends since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

On June 1, 2012, we issued and sold 2.5 million shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $17.5 million pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. In connection with our private placement of Series E convertible preferred stock, we incurred transaction expenses of $153,733 that were recorded as an offset to the gross proceeds.

From July 2011 through January 2012, we issued and sold 9,007,678 shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to LendingClub of approximately $32.0 million. In connection with our private placement of Series D convertible preferred stock, we incurred transaction expenses of approximately $0.1 million that were recorded as an offset to gross proceeds.

The following tables summarize certain selected financial data and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included at Items 8 and 7, respectively, of this Filing.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report. In addition to historical information, this Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Consolidated Operations” as well as in Part I Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” Actual results could differ materially. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to; the level of demand for our products and services; the intensity of competition; our ability to effectively expand and improve internal infrastructure; maintenance of positive cash flows from operations, and adverse financial, customer and employee consequences that might result to us if litigation were to be initiated and resolved in an adverse manner to us. For a more detailed discussion of the risks relating to our business, readers should refer to Part I Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, which speak only as of the date of this Report. We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We believe that the judgments, assumptions and estimates upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these judgments, assumptions and estimates are made. However, any differences between these judgments, assumptions and estimates and actual results could have a material impact on our statement of operations and financial condition. The accounting policies which are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements reflect our most significant judgments, assumptions and estimates and which we believe are critical in understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include: (1) revenue recognition; (2) fair value determination; (3) allowance for loan losses; and (4) share-based compensation; and (5) provision for income taxes, net of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. These estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material.

We have elected fair value accounting for the vast majority of Member Loans facilitated through the platform since October 13, 2008, including all Member Loans originated since October 1, 2011, and all related Notes and Certificates. The fair value election for these Member Loans, Notes and Certificates allows symmetrical accounting for the timing and amounts recognized for both expected unrealized losses and realized losses on the Member Loans and the related Notes and Certificates, consistent with the member payment dependent design of the Notes and Certificates. All of our Member Loans are unsecured but the gross potential credit risk to the Company from Member Loans is significantly mitigated to the extent that loans are financed by Notes or Certificates that absorb the loans’ credit losses pursuant to the member payment dependency provision.

Absent the fair value elections for both Member Loans at fair value and the related Notes and Certificates, Member Loans held for investment would be accounted for at amortized cost and would record loan loss provisions for estimated expected losses, but the related Notes and Certificates also accounted for at amortized cost would recognize the losses passed-through by the related loans only when and in amounts of the loans actually charged-off, thereby resulting in a mismatch in the timing and amounts of loss recognition between a Member Loan and related Notes and Certificates, which is not an appropriate representation for instruments that are designed to have linked cash flows and loss realization. The loan origination fees for Member Loans at fair value are recognized as a component of non-interest revenue at the time of the loan origination. The costs to originate Member Loans at fair value are recognized in operating expenses as incurred. Interest income on Member Loans at fair value is recorded as earned. The remaining Member Loan originations have been accounted for at amortized cost as explained more fully below.

When we receive payments of principal and interest on Member Loans at fair value, we remit principal and interest payments on related Notes and/or Certificates, net of any applicable servicing fee on the payments received on the Member Loans at fair value. The principal payments reduce the carrying values of both the Member Loans at fair value and the related Notes and Certificates. Servicing fees withheld from payments made to Note investors are recorded as a component of non-interest revenue when received. Management fees from Certificate investors are recognized as a component of non-interest revenue when earned.

At December 31, 2012, we estimated the fair values of Member Loans at fair value and their related Notes and Certificates using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology. The estimated fair values of Member Loans are computed by projecting the future contractual cash flows to be received on the loans, adjusting those cash flows for our expectations of prepayments (if significant), defaults and losses over the life of the loans, and expected net recoveries, if any. We then discount those projected net cash flows to a

present value, which is the estimated fair value. Our expectation of future defaults and losses on loans is based on analyses of actual defaults and losses that occurred on the various credit grades of Member Loans over the past several years. The expected net recovery reflects the actual historical recovery experience for the various types of defaulted loans and the contractual arrangements with collection agencies. The discount rates for the projected net cash flows of the Member Loans are our estimates of the rates of return that investors in unsecured consumer credit obligations would require when investing in the various credit grades of Member Loans.

Our obligation to pay principal and interest on any Note and Certificate is equal to the pro-rata portion of the payments, if any, received on the related Member Loan at fair value, net of any applicable servicing fee. The gross effective interest rate associated with a Note or a Certificate is the same as the interest rate earned on the related Member Loan at fair value. At December 31, 2012, the discounted cash flow methodology used to estimate the Notes’ and Certificates’ fair values uses the same projected net cash flows as their related Member Loans. The discount rates for the projected net cash flows of the Notes and Certificates are our estimates of the rates of return, including any applicable risk premiums, if significant, that investors in unsecured consumer credit obligations would require when investing in Notes issued by LendingClub or Certificates issued by the Trust, with cash flows dependent on specific credit grades of Member Loans.

For additional discussion on this topic, including the adjustments to the estimated fair values of Loans at fair value and Notes at fair value as of December 31, 2012, as discussed below, see Results of Operations and Note 5 – Member Loans at Fair Value and Notes and Certificates at Fair Value.

The loan origination fees for Member Loans at amortized cost are deferred at origination and, with the related deferred loan origination costs, are amortized to interest income over the contractual lives of the loans using a method that approximates the effective interest method, which loans currently have original terms of 36 or 60 months. We record interest income on Member Loans at amortized cost as earned. Loans reaching 120 days delinquent are classified as nonaccrual loans, and we stop accruing interest and reverse all accrued but unpaid interest after such date.

We may incur losses if the borrower members fail to pay their monthly scheduled loan payments. Impaired Member Loans at amortized cost include loans at amortized cost that are 90 days or more past due and loans where the borrower has filed a petition in bankruptcy or is deceased.

As part of our activities to maximize receipt, collection and recovery of loans in which the borrower has, or is expected to, experience difficulty in meeting the loan’s contractually required payments, we may agree to special payment plans with certain borrowers. Most of the special payment plans involve reduced minimum loan payments for a short period of time and the deferred payments are to be repaid over the remaining original term of the loan. No principal or interest is forgiven nor is the original term of the loan extended in these situations. The delay in receipt of all contractually-required loan payments in these situations is insignificant. Prior to December 2011, special payment plans with certain borrowers involved extensions of the original term of the loan by six to 24 months, but in no case extending the total term beyond 60 months, and recasting the borrower’s monthly loan payment schedule. In these situations, the restructuring of the loan terms qualifies as a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”). We classify TDR’s outstanding as of December 31, 2012 as impaired loans at amortized cost.

An allowance for loan losses applies only to Member Loans at amortized cost and is a valuation allowance that is established as losses are estimated to have occurred at the balance sheet date through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Realized loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a periodic basis by management, and represents an estimate of potential credit losses based on a variety of factors, including the composition and quality of the Member Loans at amortized cost, loan specific information gathered through our collection efforts, delinquency levels, probable expected losses, current and historical charge-off and loss experience, current industry charge-off and loss experience, and general economic conditions. Determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses for Member Loans at amortized cost is subjective, complex and requires judgment by management about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain, and actual losses may differ from our estimates.

Our estimate of the allowance for loan losses for Member Loans at amortized cost is developed by estimating both the rate of default of the loans within each credit score band using the FICO credit scoring model, a loan’s collection status, the borrower’s FICO score at or near the evaluation date, and the amount of probable loss in the event of a borrower member default.

We have elected fair value accounting for all Member Loans facilitated through the platform on and after October 1, 2011.

Our business model consists primarily of charging fees to both borrower members and investor members for transactions through or related to our platform. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and fiscal year March 31, 2012, we facilitated $608.2 million and $321.1 million of loans, respectively, on our lending platform.

Upon issuance of a loan, WebBank pays a fee to us for providing the service of arranging the Member Loan. The loan origination fee charged to each borrower member is determined by the term and credit grade of that borrower member’s loan and as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012 ranged from 1.11% to 5.00% of the aggregate Member Loan amount. The loan origination fees are included in the annual percentage rate (“APR”) calculation provided to the borrower member and is subtracted from the gross loan proceeds prior to disbursement of the loan funds to the borrower member.

Investor members that purchase Notes pay servicing fees to us on the payments for the related Member Loans and maintaining account portfolios. We charge other investors through the Trust’s monthly management fees that are based on the month-end balances of their accounts. These management fees, which are charged in lieu of servicing fees on the payments for principal, interest and late fees and are recorded in other revenue.

Our borrower members pay a one-time origination fee to us for arranging a Member Loan. This fee is determined by the term and loan grade of the Member Loan.

Beginning January 7, 2011, our origination fees for three year loans ranged from 2.00% to 5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Member Loan, as set forth below:

Beginning January 7, 2011, our origination fees for five year loans ranged from 3.00% to 5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Member Loan, as set forth below:

Beginning September 8, 2011, our origination fees for three year loans ranged from 1.11% to 5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Member Loan, as set forth below:

Beginning February 2, 2012, our loan origination fees for the three year G grade member loans decreased from 5.00% to 4.00% as set forth below:

Loan origination fees on Member Loans at fair value are recognized as a component of non-interest revenues at the time of loan origination and were $26.0 million and $13.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, respectively, an increase of 90%. The increase in these loan fees was primarily due to an increase in volumes of Member Loans during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, to $608.2 million versus lower volumes of $321.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 98%. The average loan origination fees were 4.3% and 4.3% of the principal amount of Member Loans at fair value originated for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, respectively.

Loan origination fees on Member Loans at fair value were $26.0 million and $9.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of 186%. The increase in these loan fees was primarily due to an increase in origination volumes of Member Loans at fair value during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, to $608.2 million versus originations of $210.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 301%. The average loan origination fees were 4.3% and 4.3% of the principal amount of Member Loans at fair value originated for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Because of the election of fair value accounting for all loan originations on and after October 1, 2011, there are no origination fees received on Member Loans at amortized cost originated during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we received $0.1 million of origination fees.

We charge investor members an ongoing service fee for Notes. The servicing fee offsets the costs we incur in servicing the related Member Loans at fair value, including managing payments from borrower members, payments to the investor members and maintaining investors’ account portfolios. This service fee is charged based on payment amounts serviced by us on behalf of a Note investor in respect of a Member Loan.

The servicing fees earned from Note holders that relate to cash flows serviced on related Member Loans at fair value were $1.5 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, respectively, an increase of 25%. The increase in the servicing fees earned from Note holders were primarily due to increased balances of Notes outstanding during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, versus the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

The servicing fees earned from Note holders that relate to cash flows serviced on related Member Loans at fair value were $1.5 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of 88%. The increase in the servicing fees earned from Note holders were primarily due to increased balances of Notes outstanding during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, versus the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

LCA charges Certificate holders a management fee based on their month-end capital account balances in lieu of paying a servicing fee. LCA earned management fees from investors in Certificates totaling $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, respectively. The increase in management fees earned during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 versus the prior fiscal year was due primarily to an increase in total assets under management, which were $426 million at December 31, 2012 ($261 million in three investment funds and $165 million in certain SMAs) and $99 million at March 31, 2012. LCA earned management fees from investors in Certificates totaling $0.7 million and $0.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The following table summarizes interest income, interest expense and net interest income for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and the nine months ended December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

We had net interest income of $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net interest income decreased in the nine months ended December 31, 2012, when compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the reduction in loans funded by us and recorded as Member Loans at amortized cost.

We had net interest income of $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, respectively. Net interest income decreased in the nine months ended December 31, 2012, when compared to the prior fiscal year primarily due to the reduction in the loans funded by us and recorded as Member Loans at amortized cost.

We record interest income from Member Loans at fair value. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded interest income from Member Loans at fair value, excluding loan origination fees, of $56.7 million and $19.5 million, respectively. The increase in interest income in the nine months ended December 31, 2012, compared to the comparable period in the prior year is primarily due to the significant increase in the outstanding balances of Member Loans at fair value. The average balance of Member Loans at fair value outstanding during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, was $551.0 million as compared to an estimated average balance of $220.8 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 150%.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we recorded interest income from Member Loans at fair value, excluding loan origination fees, of $56.7 million and $31.9 million, respectively. The increase in interest income in the nine months ended December 31, 2012, compared to the prior fiscal year is primarily due to the significant increase in the outstanding balances of Member Loans at fair value in the latter period. The average balance of Member Loans at fair value outstanding during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, was $551.0 million as compared to an average balance of $249.3 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 121%. The increase was partially offset by the December 31, 2012 period including nine months versus the March 31, 2012 period including twelve months.

Subsequent to the effectiveness of our registration statement related to our Notes in October 2008, we periodically provided funds to originate some Member Loans at amortized cost which generated interest income on Member Loans at amortized cost. However, as we have increased our investor marketing efforts to increase the issuance of Notes and Certificates to finance loan purchases, the originations and outstanding balances of Member Loans at amortized cost have diminished. As noted earlier, we changed our accounting policy to elect fair value accounting for all loans originated on and after October 1, 2011. Accordingly, we did not facilitate any Member loans at amortized cost for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the balance of Member Loans at amortized cost was zero at December 31, 2012. During 2012, the remaining Member Loans at amortized costs were reclassified as Member Loans at fair value.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded interest income on Member Loans at amortized cost, including the amortization of deferred net loan origination fees and costs, of $0.1 million and $0.5, respectively. The decline in interest income on Member Loans at amortized cost is primarily due to the decline in the balances of Member Loans at amortized cost for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, versus the balances in the nine months ended December 31, 2011, which was partially offset by more rapid amortization of the net deferred origination fees into interest income during the nine months ended December 31, 2012.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we recorded interest income on Member Loans at amortized cost, including the amortization of deferred net loan origination fees and costs, of $0.1 million and $0.7, respectively. The decline in interest income on Member Loans at amortized cost is primarily due to the decline in the balances of Member Loans at amortized cost for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, versus the balances in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, which was partially offset by more rapid amortization of the net deferred origination fees into interest income during the nine months ended December 31, 2012.

Interest income from cash and cash equivalents is recognized as it is earned. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we recognized $0.03 million of interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents versus $0.02 million of interest income recognized for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in interest earned during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the comparable 2011 period was due to higher cash and cash equivalents balances in 2012.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we recognized $0.03 million of interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents versus $0.02 million of interest income recognized for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. The low absolute amounts of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents reflects the current environment of very low short-term interest rates. The differences in interest income earned in the periods are primarily a function of changes in the balances of interest-bearing cash deposits on hand. We expect interest income from cash and cash equivalents to remain a small percentage of our revenue.

We record interest expense on Notes and Certificates issued by the Trust. We recorded interest expense for Notes and Certificates of $56.6 million and $19.3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The increase in interest expense in the nine months ended December 31, 2012, compared to the comparable period in the prior year was primarily due to the significant increase in the outstanding balances of Notes and Certificates at fair value. The estimated average balance of Notes and Certificates at fair value outstanding during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, was $552.5 million as compared to an estimated average balance of $219.2 million in the prior year, an increase of 152%.

We recorded total interest expense for Notes and Certificates of $56.6 million and $31.7 million, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. The increase in interest expense in the nine months ended December 31, 2012, compared to the prior fiscal year was primarily due to the significant increase in the outstanding balances of Notes and Certificates at fair value. The estimated average balance of Notes and Certificates at fair value outstanding during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, was $552.5 million as compared to an estimated average balance of $247.7 million in the prior year, an increase of 123%. The increase was partially offset by the December 31, 2012 period including nine months vs. the March 31, 2012 period including twelve months.

We recorded interest expense for loans payable of $0.01 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The decrease was due to the remaining loans payable balance being paid in full in July 2012.

We recorded interest expense for loans payable of $0.01 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was due to the remaining loans payable balance being paid in full in July 2012.

Fair Value Adjustments on Member Loans at Fair Value and Notes and Certificates at Fair Value

At December 31, 2012, we estimated the fair values of Member Loans and their related Notes and Certificates using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology. The fair valuation methodology considers projected prepayments, if significant, and uses the historical actual defaults, losses and recoveries on our loans over the past several years to project future losses and net cash flows on loans.

Fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Member Loans at fair value were $(18.8 million) and $(1.9 million) for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Member Loans at fair value were $(18.8 million) and $(6.7 million) for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, respectively.

Fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Notes and Certificates were $18.2 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Notes and Certificates were $18.2 million and $6.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, respectively.

The fair value adjustments for Member Loans at fair value were largely offset by the fair value adjustments of the Notes and Certificates at fair value due to the member payment dependent design of the Notes and Certificates, and because the principal balances of the Member Loans at fair value were very close to the combined principal balances of the Notes and Certificates. Accordingly, the net fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Member Loans and Notes and Certificates were $(0.6 million) and $0.04 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The net fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Member Loans and Notes and Certificates were $(0.6 million) and $(0.01 million) for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, respectively.

Loan loss (provisions) credits were $0.04 million and $(0.4 million) for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Loan loss provisions arise only for Member Loans at amortized cost. Loan loss (provisions) credits were $0.04 million and $(0.4 million) for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. The decline in the total loan loss provisions for Member Loans at amortized cost were primarily due to the lower principal balances of loans outstanding in the current year versus the preceding year, which was partially offset by higher specific loss reserve provisions on impaired loans (as a percent of principal balance) in the current nine month period versus the preceding year.

The allowance for loan losses, which management evaluates on a periodic basis, represents an estimate of expected credit losses inherent in the portfolio of Member Loans at amortized cost that we hold for investment and is based on a variety of factors, including the composition and quality of the loan portfolio, loan specific information gathered through our collection efforts, delinquency levels, our historical charge-off and loss experience, current industry charge-off and loss experience, and general economic conditions.

Determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is subjective, complex, and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain (see Note 2 – Summary Significant Accounting Policies – Allowance for Loan Losses).

The following table summarizes our operating expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and the nine months ended December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

Sales, marketing and customer service expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense related to sales, marketing, member support, credit, collections, and operations personnel, costs of marketing campaigns and costs of borrower acquisitions such as credit scoring and screening.

Sales, marketing and customer service expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were $20.9 million and $12.7 million, respectively, an increase of approximately 64%. The increase in spending during the nine month period ended December 31, 2012 relative to the same period of the prior year was primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in personnel related expenses resulting from increased headcount and a $2.9 million increase in spending on marketing program.

Sales, marketing and customer service expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, were $20.9 million and $17.7 million, respectively, an increase of approximately 18%. The increase in spending during the nine month period ended December 31, 2012 relative to the prior fiscal year was primarily due to an increase in personnel related expenses from increased headcount and an increase in spending on marketing programs to attract borrowers and increase investment activity on the platform. The increase was partially offset by the December 31, 2012 period including nine months versus the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Engineering expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense of engineering personnel, and the cost of subcontractors who work on the development and maintenance of our platform and software enhancements that run our platform. Engineering expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were $4.0 million and $1.9 million, an increase of 116%. The increase for the nine month period ended December 31, 2012 versus the same periods in the prior year were primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in contract labor resulting from IT projects to support the growth of the Company and personnel related expenses resulting from increased headcount.

Engineering expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, were $4.0 million and $2.7 million, an increase of 47%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in contract labor resulting from IT projects to support the growth of the Company and personnel related expenses resulting from increased headcount. The increase was partially offset by the December 31, 2012 period including nine months versus the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we capitalized $0.4 million of software development costs compared to zero costs capitalized for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense related to general and administrative personnel, professional fees primarily related to legal and accounting fees, facilities expenses and the related overhead, and expenses related to platform fraud prevention and remediation. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were $8.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, an increase of approximately 50%. The increase was primarily due to increases of $1.8 million in personnel related expenses resulting from increased headcount from 18 employees at March 31, 2012 to 23 employees at December 31, 2012.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, were $8.0 million and $7.4 million, respectively, an increase of approximately 8%. The increase was primarily due to increases in contract labor and personnel related expenses. The increase was partially offset by the December 31, 2012 period including nine months versus the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

We expect that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we continue to expand our business.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands).

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $0.8 million and ($8.9 million), and ($10.6 million) for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was positive for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, due to increases in accrued interest payable, accrued expenses and payable to member lenders. Cash used in operating activities was used to fund ongoing operations such as compensation and benefits, legal and accounting services, marketing expenses and cost of service expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $440.8 million and $146.5 million, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 was $218.8 million. Net cash used for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 primarily represents originations of Member Loans at fair value of $608.2 million and a net increase in restricted cash of $2.6 million, partially offset by the repayment of Member Loans at fair value of $160.8 million and proceeds from sale of Member Loans of $9.9 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $461.3 million and $166.8 million, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was $247.3 million. Net cash provided for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 primarily represents proceeds from the issuance of Notes and Certificates at fair value of $606.9 million and the net proceeds from the issuance of Series E Preferred Stock of $17.3 million, partially offset by payments on Notes and Certificates at fair value of $163.9 million.

At December 31, 2012 we had $7.5 million in restricted cash. Restricted cash at December 31, 2012 consists primarily of pledges of $3.0 million of our funds as security for WebBank, approximately $2.3 million for an investor as part of a credit support agreement, and approximately $1.7 million as security for Wells Fargo Bank that clears our borrowers’ and investors’ cash transactions. We primarily hold our excess cash in short-term interest-bearing money market funds at highly-rated financial institutions.

Additionally, at December 31, 2012, we have a deposit of $0.6 million placed with a nationally-recognized payment services provider we use for transactions related to our platform. The deposit is required pursuant to the agreement with the payment services provider, serves as collateral for the protection of the payment services provider and our members, and is restricted as to withdrawal. The deposit is ongoing throughout the term of the contract and the amount of the deposit depends on the volume of payment transactions processed. The deposit with the payment services provider is required to be returned to us when payment transaction volumes decline and upon termination or expiration of the agreement.

As of December 31, 2012, our accumulated deficit was $57.6 million and our total stockholders’ deficit was $50.8 million. Our net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was ($4.2 million). For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we were able to generate a positive cash flow from operations on an operating basis. We expect to continue to generate positive cash flows from operations through the end of calendar year 2013. If our assumptions regarding continued growth and operating plan are incorrect, we may need to slow our investment spending, which could slow our rate of growth or ability to continue operating on a cash-flow positive basis, and our current liquidity resources may be consumed. To date, we have funded our cash requirements with proceeds from the sale of our equity securities and issuance of loans payable.

In October 2010, we formed LCA, which is wholly-owned by LendingClub. LCA is registered with the SEC as an investment advisor. LCA commenced operations after January 1, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, LCA was the general partner to three private investment funds for accredited investors and qualified purchasers with differing investment strategies. These private investment funds include: Broad Based Consumer Fund, L.P. (“BBF”), Broad Based Consumer (Q) Fund, L.P. (“BBF-QP), and Conservative Consumer Credit Fund, L.P. (“CCF”). In connection with the funds, we formed the Trust, a Delaware business trust, to act as a bankruptcy remote for holding portions of Member Loans related to Certificates purchased by the funds separate and apart from the Member Loans and other assets of ours. We and the Trust have entered into a loan purchase agreement and a servicing agreement whereby we service the loans acquired by the Trust in a manner identical to other loans; the Trust earns a servicing fee equal to 40 basis points, which is paid by LCA, the general partner of the funds.

We started offering the funds to potential investors in February 2011 through a private placement. As of December 31, 2012, the funds had approximately $261 million in assets with $28 million in escrow, which was contributed to the funds on the first business day of January 2013. LCA earns a management fee paid by the limited partners of the funds, paid monthly in arrears, ranges from 0.60% to 1.25% (annualized) of the month-end balances of partners’ capital accounts. These management fees can be modified or waived for individual limited partners at the discretion of the general partner.

Beginning January 2012, LCA also began offering SMAs to individual accredited investors or qualified purchasers. Funds in the SMAs are invested in Certificates issued by the Trust. As of December 31, 2012, the SMAs had approximately $166 million in assets. LCA earns management fees paid by SMA investors, monthly in arrears, based on the month-end balances in the SMA accounts.

The table below presents our summary of changes in assets under management for LCA, stated at amortized cost except for appreciation / (depreciation) which includes fair value adjustments for investments (in millions):

As of December 31, 2012, the allocation across grades of Member Loans related to Certificates owned by the funds was as follows:

We incurred no net tax provision or benefit related to our pre-tax losses for the nine month ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets, such as the future benefit of net operating loss deductions against future taxable income, if realization of such tax-related assets is more likely than not. However, given our history of operating losses, it is difficult to accurately forecast when and in what amounts future results will be affected by the realization, if any, of the tax benefits of future deductions for our net operating loss carry forwards. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes our historical operating performance and the reported cumulative net losses in all prior years, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. Such valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets fully offsets the current periods’ tax benefits attributable to the pre-tax losses.

As of December 31, 2012 we had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of $53.0 million and $54.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, we also had federal and state research and development tax credit carry forwards of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The tax provisions for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 vary from the expected provision or benefit at the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the recording of valuation allowances against our U.S. operating loss and deferred tax assets. Given our history of operating losses and uncertainty when and to what degree we may achieve profitable operations, it is difficult to accurately forecast how future results will be affected by the realization of the tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forwards.

The determination of whether to consolidate a variable interest entity (VIE) in which the Company has an equity interest requires a significant amount of analysis and judgment whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE via a controlling financial interest in the VIE. A controlling financial interest in a VIE exists if the Company has both the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and an economic interest in the VIE. The determination whether an entity is a VIE considers factors such as: (i) whether a holder’s equity investment at risk is insufficient to allow the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (ii) when a holder’s equity investment at risk lacks any of the following characteristics of a controlling financial interest: the direct or indirect ability through voting rights or similar rights to make decisions about a legal entity’s activities that have a significant effect on the entity’s success, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the

entity or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the legal entity. Since adoption of amended accounting guidance applicable to VIE’s on January 1, 2010, management has considered whether we have any equity investments in VIE’s that meet the conditions requiring consolidation of such entities.

The Trust commenced operations in March 2011 and its purpose is to acquire and hold Member Loans for the benefit of investors that purchase Certificates issued by the Trust. The Trust conducts no other business other than purchasing and retaining loans or portions thereof for the benefit of the Funds and their underlying limited partners. The Trust holds all loans, the cash flows of which are used to pay debt service on the Certificates invested in by the Funds but does not hold any portions of loans that are financed by LendingClub directly or through the purchase and sale of Notes.

In the event of LendingClub’s insolvency, it is anticipated that the assets of the Trust would not become part of the bankruptcy estate, but that outcome is uncertain. As a result of this risk and uncertainty and in connection with the formation of the Funds, it was determined that in order to achieve any reasonable success in raising investment capital that the assets to be invested in by the Funds must be held by an entity that was separate and distinct from LendingClub Corporation (i.e. bankruptcy remote) in order to reduce this risk and uncertainty.

The Company’s capital contributions have been insufficient to allow the Trust to finance its purchase of any significant amount of Member Loans without the issuance of Certificates to investors. The Trust’s capitalization levels and structure, wherein investors’ have beneficial interests in Member Loans via the Certificates, qualifies the Trust as a VIE. The Company believes it is the primary beneficiary of the Trust because of its controlling financial interest in the Trust. The Company performs or directs activities that significantly affect the Trust’s economic performance via: (i) operation of the platform that enables borrowers to apply for Members Loans purchased by the Trust; (ii) credit underwriting and servicing of Member Loans purchased by the Trust; and (iii) LCA’s role to source investors that ultimately purchase Certificates that supply the Funds for the Trust to purchase Member Loans. Collectively, the activities of the Company, LCA and Trust described above allow the Company to fund more Member Loans, and to collect the related loan origination fees, and for LCA to collect the management fees on the investors’ capital used to purchase Trust Certificates, than would be the case without the existence of the Trust. Therefore, the Company receives significant economic benefits from the existence and activities conducted by the Trust. Accordingly, because the Company has concluded that capital contributions to the Trust qualify as equity investments in a VIE in which it is primary beneficiary, the Company has consolidated the Trust’s operations and all intercompany accounts have been eliminated.

The Company reviewed its relationship to the Funds in which LCA is the general partner but in which neither LendingClub Corporation nor LCA has contributed capital. The Company concluded that LCA’s contractual relationship to the funds does not meet the requirements for consolidation of the Funds into the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any controlling or other interests in VIEs, other than its interest in the Trust discussed above, to be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The occurrence of certain events such as redemptions by all unaffiliated investors in any Funds and modification to Fund organization documents and investment management agreements could cause this Company to change its conclusion. Management regularly reviews and reconsiders its previous conclusion regarding the status of an entity as a VIE and whether the Company is required to consolidate such VIE in its consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements required by this Item are included in Item 14 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are presented beginning on page 80.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

We establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2012.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, even those systems determined to be effective can provide us only with reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, following the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, and with further guidance for internal controls for small business provided by the SEC’s new Interpretive Guidance in Release No. 34-55929.

There has been no adverse change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As a result of the enactment during 2010 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, “Exemption for Non-accelerated Filers,” and in accordance with section 989G of the act, we are not required to provide an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting for this fiscal year or thereafter, until such time as we are no longer eligible for the exemption set forth therein.

As one of America’s preeminent economists, he has served in a series of senior policy positions in Washington, D.C., including the 71st Secretary of the Treasury for President Clinton, Director of the National Economic Council for President Obama and Vice President of Development Economics and Chief Economist of the World Bank. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1975 and was awarded a Ph.D. from Harvard in 1982. In 1987, Mr. Summers became the first social scientist ever to receive the annual Alan T. Waterman Award of the National Science Foundation (NSF), and in 1993 he was awarded the John Bates Clark Medal, given every two years to the outstanding American economist under the age of 40.

Our board of directors oversee an enterprise-wide approach to risk management, designed to support the achievement of organizational objectives, including strategic objectives, improving long-term organizational performance and enhancing stockholder value. Risk management includes not only understanding our specific risks and the steps management implements to manage those risks, but also what level of risk is acceptable and appropriate for us. Management is responsible for establishing our business strategy, identifying and assessing the related risks and implementing appropriate risk management practices. Our board of directors reviews our business strategy and management’s assessment of the related risk, and discusses with management the appropriate level of risk for us. For example, the board of directors meet with management at least quarterly to review, advise, and direct management with respect to strategic business matters.

The board of directors also oversee financial risk exposures, including monitoring the integrity of our consolidated financial statements, internal control over financial reporting, and the independence of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The board of directors, through the audit committee, receives periodic internal controls and related assessments from our finance department and an annual attestation report on internal control over financial reporting from our independent registered public accounting firm. The board of directors, through the audit committee, in fulfilling its oversight responsibility with respect to compliance matters, meets at least quarterly with our finance department, independent registered public accounting firm and internal or external legal counsel to discuss risks related to our financial reporting function. In addition, the board of directors ensures that our business is conducted with the highest standards of ethical conduct in compliance with applicable laws and regulations by ensuring that our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is current and that employees are aware of and understand the Code and monitor our Whistleblower Hotline.

The board of directors participates in the design of compensation structures that create incentives that encourage a level of risk-taking behavior consistent with our business strategy.

Because our common stock is not listed on a national exchange, we are not required to maintain a board of directors consisting of a majority of independent directors, or to maintain an audit, nominating or compensation committee. We do not have a lead independent director. The board of directors has no formal chairman and the duties are performed by our Chief Executive Officer who: (i) works with the board of directors to schedule meetings and set meeting agendas; (ii) presides as the chair at executive sessions of directors; (iii) serves as the principal liaison between the board of directors and our executive officers; (iv) briefs the board on issues or concerns arising between meetings of the board of directors, which are generally held monthly; (v) participates actively in corporate governance; and (vi) performs such other duties as the board of directors may, from time to time, delegate. The board of directors believe that the performance of these duties by our Chief Executive Officer provides more consistent communication and coordination throughout the organization, which results in a more effective and efficient implementation of corporate strategy. The board of directors further believes that this combination is important in unifying our strategy behind a single vision. In addition, we have found that our Chief Executive Officer is the most knowledgeable member of the board of directors regarding risks we may be facing and is able to facilitate the board’s oversight of such risks. We believe this structure provides consistent and effective oversight of our management and the Company and is optimal for us, our operations, stockholders, and investor members.

Our Audit Committee adopted a revised Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) on June 13, 2012. The Code is designed to help directors and employees resolve ethical issues encountered in the business environment. The Code covers topics such as conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, fair dealing, protecting our property and confidentiality of our information and encourages the reporting of any behavior not in accordance with the policy or any other areas of concern through our Whistleblower Policy.

Our goal is to assemble a board of directors that operates cohesively and works with management in a constructive way so as to deliver long term stockholder value. We believe that our directors possess valuable experience necessary to guide our business in the best interests of the stockholders. Our current board of directors consists of individuals with proven records of success in their chosen professions. They all have the highest integrity and a keen intellect. They are collegial yet independent in their thinking, and are committed to the hard work necessary to be informed about the lending industry, our company, and its key constituents including borrowers, investor members, stockholders and management. Most of our directors have expertise in technology, innovation and strategy.

As of December 31, 2012, our board of directors consisted of seven members, all of whom were elected as directors pursuant to the terms of a voting rights agreement entered into among certain of our stockholders. As discussed above, the board was expanded to eight members with the addition of Mr. Morris in February 2013. The board composition provisions of our voting rights agreement will continue until the agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

Holders of the Notes offered through our platform have no ability to elect or influence our directors or approve significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our Company or its assets.

There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Because our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to maintain a board consisting of a majority of independent directors or to maintain an audit committee, nominating committee or compensation committee consisting solely of independent directors. Our board of directors has not analyzed the independence of our directors under any applicable stock exchange listing standards.

We are not a “listed issuer” as defined under Section 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. We are, therefore, not required to have a nominating or compensation committee comprised of independent directors. We currently do not have a standing nominating or compensation committee and accordingly, there are no charters for such committees. We believe that standing committees are not necessary and the directors collectively have the requisite background, experience, and knowledge to fulfill any limited duties and obligations that a nominating committee and a compensation committee may have.

We are not a “listed issuer” as defined under Section 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Nevertheless, our board of directors approved the formation of an Audit Committee on November 4, 2010. As of March 29, 2013, the members of the Audit Committee are Daniel Ciporin, Jeffrey Crowe, Hans Morris (Chair) and Rebecca Lynn. In addition, the board has determined that Hans Morris is an audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined under the SEC rules.

The Audit Committee oversees financial risk exposures, including monitoring the integrity of our consolidated financial statements, internal controls over financial reporting and the independence of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The Audit Committee receives internal control related assessments and reviews and discusses our annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements with management. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to compliance matters, the Audit Committee meets at least quarterly with management, our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and our internal legal counsel to discuss risks related to our financial reporting function.

The following table shows compensation for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 to our directors who were not also named executive officers at the time they received compensation as directors:

During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, none of our directors received any cash compensation for services as a member of our board of directors. From time to time, we reimburse certain of our non-employee directors for travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending our board and audit committee meetings.

Limitations on Officers’ and Directors’ Liability and Indemnification Agreements

As permitted by Delaware and California law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors for breaches of duty to the corporation. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws limit the liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. Delaware and California law provide that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:

These limitations do not apply to liabilities arising under federal securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies, including injunctive relief or rescission. As permitted by Delaware and California law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that:

The indemnification provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws are not exclusive.

In addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. The indemnification agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify such persons for all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by LendingClub) (collectively, “Expenses”), actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of any proceeding to which such person may be made a party, a potential party, a non-party witness, or otherwise by reason of: (1) any proceeding to which such person may be made a party by reason of: (i) such person’s service as a director or officer of LendingClub; (ii) any action taken by such person while acting as director, officer, employee or agent of LendingClub; or (iii) such person’s actions while serving at the request of LendingClub as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and in any such case described above, whether or not serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is or was incurred; or (2) establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under the agreement.

Under these agreements, we are not obligated to provide indemnification: (1) on account of any proceeding with respect to: (i) remuneration paid to such person in violation of law; (ii) an accounting, disgorgement or repayment of profits made from the purchase or sale by such person of securities of LendingClub against such person pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or other provisions of any federal, state or local statute or rules and regulations thereunder; (iii) conduct that was in bad faith, knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or constituted willful misconduct (but only to the extent of such specific determination); or (iv) conduct that constitutes a breach of such person’s duty of loyalty or resulting in any personal profit or advantage to which such person is not legally entitled; (2) for any proceedings or claims initiated or brought by such person not by way of defense; (3) for any amounts paid in settlement without our written consent; or (4) if such indemnification would be in violation of any undertaking appearing in and required by the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, or in any registration statement filed with the SEC. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

We also maintain an insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our Company arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

The following table provides information regarding the compensation earned during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 by each of our named executive officers:

At December 31, 2012, Mr. Laplanche’s base salary was $300,000 per year and he is eligible to receive an annual performance bonus. Mr. Laplanche has a target bonus opportunity of $150,000, assuming achievement of a series of mutually agreed upon performance milestones set each fiscal year. The amount of Mr. Laplanche’s bonus, if any, shall be determined by the board of directors in its sole discretion. The employment agreement also entitles Mr. Laplanche to receive all customary and usual fringe benefits available to our employees.

At December 31, 2012, Ms. Dolan’s base salary was $300,000 per year and she is eligible to receive an annual performance bonus. Ms. Dolan has a target bonus opportunity of $100,000, with the ability to earn up to 150% assuming achievement of or exceeding a series of mutually agreed upon performance objectives set each fiscal year. The employment agreement also entitles Ms. Dolan to receive all customary and usual fringe benefits available to our employees.

At December 31, 2012, Mr. Sanborn’s base salary was $300,000 per year and he is eligible to receive an annual performance bonus. Mr. Sanborn has a target bonus opportunity of $100,000, assuming achievement of a series of mutually agreed upon performance objectives set each fiscal year. The employment agreement also entitles Mr. Sanborn to receive all customary and usual fringe benefits available to our employees.

We have granted equity awards primarily through our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan ( “2007 plan”), which was adopted by our board of directors and stockholders to permit the grant of stock options to our officers, directors, employees and consultants. The material terms of our 2007 plan are further described under “Employee Benefit Plans – 2007 Stock Incentive Plan” below.

All stock options granted to our named executive officers are incentive stock options, to the extent permissible under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. All equity awards to our employees and directors were granted at no less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of each award. In the absence of a public trading market for our common stock, our board of directors has determined the fair market value of our common stock in good faith based upon consideration of a number of relevant factors including the status of our development efforts, financial status and market conditions. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates – Stock-Based Compensation.”

Option grants typically vest over four years, with one quarter of the shares subject to the stock option vesting on the one year anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining shares vesting in equal quarterly installments thereafter over three years. All options have a ten-year term. Additional information regarding accelerated vesting upon or following a change in control is discussed below under “Post Employment Compensation.”

The following table sets forth certain information regarding outstanding equity awards granted to our executive officers that remain outstanding as of December 31, 2012.

Mr. Laplanche, Ms. Dolan, and Mr. Sanborn are entitled to certain severance and change in control benefits.

Mr. Laplanche’s employment agreement provides that in the event his employment is terminated by LendingClub for reasons other than for cause or in the event Mr. Laplanche resigns his employment for good reason, Mr. Laplanche will be provided a severance package with continuation of salary and benefits and, at the discretion of the board of directors, prorated bonus to the target level, for a period of six months after the date of termination, subject to set off in the event Mr. Laplanche obtains other employment during such severance period. In addition, under the stock restriction agreement entered into between Mr. Laplanche and LendingClub on August 21, 2007 (described in “Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters”), upon Mr. Laplanche’s termination for reasons other than for cause or resignation for good reason, Mr. Laplanche is entitled to vesting acceleration of his unvested shares of stock as to the lesser of all unvested shares of stock or 25% of the shares held by Mr. Laplanche on the date of the agreement. Under the agreement, Mr. Laplanche is also entitled to vesting acceleration of all of his unvested shares of stock upon his termination for reasons other than for cause or resignation for good reason, if such termination or resignation occurs within twelve months after the consummation of an acquisition or asset transfer event.

Ms. Dolan’s employment agreement provides that in the event her employment is terminated by LendingClub without cause or if Ms. Dolan voluntarily terminates her employment for good reason in connection with: a) sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, or b) merger, consolidation or reorganization of LendingClub in which the holders of majority of the voting power of LendingClub prior to the merger, consolidation or reorganization no longer hold a majority of the voting power of LendingClub subsequent to the merger, consolidation or reorganization, then an acceleration of 50% of any of Ms. Dolan’s unvested stock options shall immediately vest and a payment of an amount equal to 6 months of Ms. Dolan’s then current base salary and applicable COBRA payments for the same period will be made.

Mr. Sanborn’s employment agreement provides that in the event his employment is terminated by LendingClub for reasons other than for cause or in the event Mr. Sanborn resigns his employment for good reason, he will be provided a severance package which includes any bonus earned in any period ending before termination and a lump sum payment equal to three months of his then current base salary and six months of COBRA coverage. In the event his employment is terminated by LendingClub for cause, voluntarily by Mr. Sanborn, or as a result of his death or disability, the Company will pay to Mr. Sanborn, or his estate, earned bonus on a per day prorated basis through the date of termination or disability, as appropriate. In the event his employment is terminated by LendingClub without cause in relation to the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or a change in ownership in a single transaction or series of related transactions of 50% or more of the Company’s stock, 50% of Mr. Sanborn’s unvested options shall become fully vested on the date of termination; provided however that this will not apply in the event of any equity financing of the Company.

Regardless of the manner in which a named executive officer’s employment terminates, the named executive officer is entitled to receive amounts earned during their term of employment, including salary and unused vacation pay.

In February 2007, we adopted the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2007 plan will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) February 2017; (ii) the date on which all shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2007 plan have been issued as fully vested shares of common stock; and (iii) the termination of all outstanding stock options granted pursuant to the 2007 plan. The 2007 plan provides for the grant of the following:

Share Reserve. As of December 31, 2012, an aggregate of 14,059,948 options to purchase our common stock are authorized for issuance under our 2007 plan of which 10,255,223 options are outstanding, 2,859,174 options have been exercised, 3,855,198 options have been forfeited, and the remainder of 945,551 options are available for grant. Shares of our common stock subject to options and other stock awards that have expired or otherwise terminate under the 2007 plan without having been exercised in full again will become available for grant under the plan. Shares of our common stock issued under the 2007 plan may include previously unissued shares or reacquired shares bought on the market or otherwise.

Administration. The 2007 plan is administered by our board of directors, which may in turn delegate authority to administer the plan to a committee (the “Administrator”). Subject to the terms of the 2007 plan, our board of directors or its authorized committee determines recipients, the numbers and types of stock awards to be granted and the terms and conditions of the stock awards, including the period of their exercisability and vesting. Subject to the limitations set forth below, our board of directors or its authorized committee will also determine the exercise price of options granted under the 2007 plan.

Stock Options. Stock options will be granted pursuant to stock option agreements. The exercise price for an option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock subject to the option on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2007 plan will vest at the rate specified in the option agreement. A stock option agreement may provide for early exercise, prior to vesting. Unvested shares of our common stock issued in connection with an early exercise may be repurchased by us. In general, the term of stock options granted under the 2007 plan may not exceed ten years. Unless the terms of an option holder’s stock option agreement provide for earlier or later termination, if an option holder’s service relationship with us, or any affiliate of ours, ceases due to disability or death, the option holder, or his or her beneficiary, may exercise any vested options for up to 12 months, after the date the service relationship ends, unless the terms of the stock option agreement provide for earlier termination. If an option holder’s service relationship with us, or any affiliate of ours, ceases without cause for any reason other than disability or death, the option holder may exercise any vested options for up to three months after the date the service relationship ends, unless the terms of the stock option agreement provide for a longer or shorter period to exercise the option.

Acceptable forms of consideration for the purchase of our common stock under the 2007 plan, to be determined at the discretion of our board of directors at the time of grant, include: (i) cash; (ii) the tendering of other shares of common stock or the attestation to the ownership of shares of common stock that otherwise would be tendered to LendingClub in exchange for LendingClub’s reducing the number of shares necessary for payment in full of the option price for the shares so purchased (provided that the shares tendered or attested to in exchange for the shares issued under the 2007 plan may not be shares of restricted stock at the time they are tendered or attested to); or (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii) above.

Generally, an option holder may not transfer a stock option other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or a domestic relations order. However, an option holder may designate a beneficiary who may exercise the option following the option holder’s death.

Limitations. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of shares of our common stock with respect to ISOs that are exercisable for the first time by an option holder during any calendar year under all of our stock plans may not exceed $100,000. The options or portions of options that exceed this limit are treated as NSOs. No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of our total combined voting power unless the following conditions are satisfied:

Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted stock awards will be granted pursuant to restricted stock purchase agreements. We shall have the right to repurchase any or all of the shares of restricted stock within such period of time and for such purchase price and upon such terms and conditions as may be specified in the restricted stock purchase agreements. Rights to acquire shares of our common stock under a restricted stock award are not transferable until the end of the applicable period of restriction. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on shares of restricted stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate.

Other Stock-Based Awards. The Administrator shall have the right to grant other awards based upon the common stock having such terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine, including without limitation the grant of shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of securities convertible into shares, the grant of performance units or performance shares and the grant of stock appreciation rights.

Option Grants to Outside Directors. Options may be granted to outside directors in accordance with the policies established from time to time by the board of directors specifying the number of shares (if any) to be subject to each award and the time(s) at which such awards shall be granted. All options granted to outside directors shall be NSOs and, except as otherwise provided, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2007 plan.

On January 30, 2012, in recognition for Mr. Simon Williams service as a board member during the period from November 1, 2010 to October 31, 2011, the board of directors approved the acceleration of vesting of 25% of the options (74,988 shares) granted to Mr. Williams.

In April 2012, in conjunction with his appointment to the board of directors, Mr. John J. Mack was granted an option to purchase 396,873 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.71 per share. These options will vest quarterly, with an initial one year cliff, over a four year period, and will become exercisable in full in the fourth anniversary of the date of the grant, provided that he remains in continuous service as a director through that date.

In December 2012, in conjunction with his appointment to the board of directors, Mr. Larry H. Summers was granted an option to purchase 333,106 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.78 per share. These options will vest quarterly, with an initial one year cliff, over a four year period, and will become exercisable in full in the fourth anniversary of the date of the grant, provided that he remains in continuous service as a director through that date.

In February 2013, in conjunction with his appointment to the board of directors, Mr. Hans Morris was granted an option to purchase 165,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.78 per share. These options will vest quarterly, with an initial one year cliff, over a four year period, and will become exercisable in full in the fourth anniversary of the date of the grant, provided that he remains in continuous service as a director through that date.

Adjustments. In the event that there is a specified type of change in our capital structure not involving the receipt of consideration by us, such as a stock split or stock dividend, the number of shares reserved under the 2007 plan and the maximum number and class of shares issuable to an individual in the aggregate, and the exercise price or strike price, if applicable, of all outstanding stock awards will be appropriately adjusted.

Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of LendingClub, the Administrator shall provide written notice to each participant at least 20 days prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. The Administrator may specify the effect of a liquidation or dissolution on any award of restricted stock or other award at the time of grant of such award.

Reorganization. Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Event (as defined below), each outstanding option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation, except in the event that the successor corporation does not assume the option or an equivalent option is not substituted, then the Administrator shall notify the options holder that one of the following will occur:

For the purposes of Reorganization, the option shall be considered assumed if, following consummation of the Reorganization Event, the option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of optioned stock subject to the option immediately prior to the Reorganization Event, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Reorganization Event by holders of the common stock for each share held immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares). If such consideration received in the Reorganization Event is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary thereof, then the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the option for each share of the optioned stock subject to the option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary thereof equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of common stock in the Reorganization Event, and in such case such options shall be considered assumed for the purposes of a Reorganization.

A “Reorganization Event” is defined as: (i) a merger or consolidation of LendingClub with or into another entity, as a result of which all of our common stock is converted into or exchanged for the right to receive cash, securities or other property; or (ii) any exchange of all of our common stock for cash, securities or other property pursuant to a share exchange transaction.

We have maintained through our payroll and benefits service provider, a defined contribution employee retirement plan for our employees. The plan is intended to qualify as a tax-qualified plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, so that contributions to the 401(k) plan, and income earned on such contributions, are not taxable to participants until withdrawn or distributed from the 401(k) plan. The 401(k) plan provides that each participant may contribute up to 100% of his or her pre-tax compensation, up to a statutory limit, which is $17,000 for 2012. Participants who are at least 50 years old can also make “catch-up” contributions, which may be up to an additional $5,500 above the statutory limit. Under the 401(k) plan, each employee is fully vested in his or her deferred salary contributions. Employee contributions are held and invested by the plan’s trustee. LendingClub’s 401(k) plan does not provide for matching employee contributions. Effective March 1, 2013, we withdrew from the 401(k) plan of our payroll and benefits provider to establish a substantially identical plan sponsored by the Company directly.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of December 31, 2012, by:

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities and include shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after December 31, 2012. Except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table below, all of the shares reflected in the table are shares of common stock and all persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws. The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.

Percentage ownership calculations are based on 72,628,502 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2012, assuming the conversion of all of our outstanding convertible preferred stock.

In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of capital stock subject to options and warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2012. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Beneficial ownership representing less than 1% is denoted with an asterisk (*). Except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table below, addresses of named beneficial owners are in care of LendingClub, 71 Stevenson St., Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94105.

The following table sets forth information, as of December 31, 2012, with respect to shares of our common stock that may be issued under our existing equity compensation plans:

During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, stockholders approved 1,500,000 additional options for future issuance under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan.

The information set forth in Note 13 – Stock-Based Compensation to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements below is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Our executive officers, directors and certain affiliates, have opened investor member accounts with LendingClub and have made deposits and withdrawals to their accounts, and funded portions of borrowers’ loan requests from time to time in the past via purchases of Notes and Certificates, and may do so in the future.

In the period August 2007 to September 2011, we issued and sold to investors an aggregate of 15,749,674 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for aggregate consideration of $16.8 million.

In March 2009, we issued 16,036,346 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock for aggregate cash consideration of $12.0 million.

In connection with the convertible note issuances, we also issued warrants to purchase a number of shares of our convertible preferred stock. At March 31, 2012, we have issued warrants to purchase 1,256,601 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock and 374,180 shares of our Series B convertible preferred stock.

In April 2010, we issued 15,621,609 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock for aggregate cash consideration of $24.5 million. In 2011 and 2012, we issued an aggregate of 9,007,678 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock for aggregate cash consideration of $32.0 million. In June 2012 we issued a total of 2,500,000 shares of Series E convertible preferred stock for aggregate cash consideration of $17.5 million.

The participants in these convertible preferred stock financings included the following holders of more than 5% of our voting securities or entities affiliated with them. The following table presents the number of shares issued to these related parties in these financings:

Under the terms of the amended and restated voting agreement, dated June 1, 2012, certain investors in our convertible preferred stock, including KPCB Holding, Inc., as nominee (“KPCB”), Norwest Venture Partners X, LP (“Norwest”), Canaan VII, LP (“Canaan”) and Morgenthaler Venture Partners IX, LP (“Morgenthaler”) have each agreed, subject to maintaining certain ownership levels, to exercise their voting rights so as to elect one designee of Norwest, one designee of Canaan, one designee of Morgenthaler, and Mary Meeker of KPCB to our board of directors, as well as our chief executive officer. Neither Foundation Capital nor Union Square Ventures Opportunity Fund, LP have the right to designate a member of our board of directors.

Under the terms of the amended and restated investor rights agreement, dated June 1, 2012, the holders of a majority of the registrable securities of the Company have the right to demand that we file a registration statement under the Securities Act, so long as the anticipated aggregate offering price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $10,000,000. These registration rights are subject to specified conditions and limitations. In addition, the Company is required to notify all holders of registrable securities in writing at least fifteen days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company.

The amended and restated investor rights agreement also provides, in section 2.3, that if we register any our shares for public sale, stockholders with registration rights will have the right to include their shares in the registration statement, subject to specified conditions and limitations.

Further, in the amended and restated investor rights agreement, if the Company receives from any holders of registrable securities a written request that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-form registration statement, the Company is required to use reasonable best efforts to file a Form S-3 registration statement and to effect such registration as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such holder’s registrable securities as are specified in such request, so long as the anticipated aggregate offering price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $1,000,000.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and Renaud Laplanche, Chaomei Chen, Carrie L. Dolan, John MacIlwaine and Scott Sanborn. For more information regarding these agreements, see “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance – Limitations on Officers’ and Directors’ Liability and Indemnification Agreements.”

For information regarding director independence, see “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers, Corporate Governance – Director Independence.”

The following table presents the aggregate fees billed (or expected to be billed) by Grant Thornton LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 (in thousands):

The board of directors approves all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accountants. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, all of the services provided by Grant Thornton LLP were pre-approved by the board of directors in accordance with this policy.

Exhibits filed as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K are listed on the Exhibit Index immediately preceding such exhibits, which is incorporated herein by reference.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LendingClub Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LendingClub Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

LendingClub Corporation (“we”, “us”, “our”, “the Company”) is an online marketplace that facilitates loans to l qualified borrowers and investments from qualified investors. We were incorporated in Delaware in October 2006, and in May 2007, we began operations. We expanded our operations in August 2007 with the launch of our public website, www.lendingclub.com. Pursuant to a public offering of Member Payment Dependent Notes (“Notes”), self-directed investors have the opportunity to purchase, directly on our website, Notes issued by us, with each series of Notes corresponding to an individual Member Loan facilitated through our platform. The Notes are unsecured, are dependent for payment on the related Member Loan and offer interest rates and credit characteristics that the investors find attractive.

In addition to the direct offering to investors, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, LC Advisors, LLC (“LCA”), a registered investment adviser, acts as the general partner for certain privately offered funds (the “Funds”) and advisor to certain privately offered separately managed accounts (“SMAs”). In connection with the private offerings, the Company established LC Trust I (“Trust”), a Delaware business trust in February 2011 to acquire and hold Member Loans for the sole benefit of investors that purchase through Trust Certificates (“Certificates”) issued by the Trust and which are related to the underlying Member Loans. Private investors each purchase a Certificate from the Trust and the Trust uses these proceeds to acquire and hold Member Loans for the sole benefit of the Certificate holder. The Certificates can only be settled with cash flows from the underlying Member Loans and Certificate holder does not have recourse to the general credit or other assets of the Trust, Company, borrower members or other investors.

All Member Loans are unsecured obligations of individual borrower members with fixed interest rates, three-year or five-year maturities, minimum amounts of $1,000 and maximum amounts up to $35,000. The Member Loans are posted on our website pursuant to a program agreement with WebBank, an FDIC-insured, state-chartered industrial bank organized under the laws of the state of Utah, approved loans are funded and issued by WebBank and sold to us after closing. As a part of operating our platform, we verify the identity of members, obtain borrower members’ credit characteristics from consumer reporting agencies such as TransUnion, Experian or Equifax and screen borrower members for eligibility to participate in the platform and facilitate the posting of Member Loans. Also, after acquiring the Member Loans from WebBank, we service the Member Loans on an ongoing basis.

We pay WebBank a monthly service fee based on the amount of loans issued by WebBank in each month, subject to a minimum monthly fee.

On December 19, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year-end from March 31 to December 31. The change was effective as of December 31, 2012. We are filing the accompanying consolidated financial statements in connection with a transition report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which covers the nine month period beginning April 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2012 (the “Transition Period”), the audited comparable period ending December 31, 2011 and the historical activities of the periods ended March 31, 2012. Our next fiscal year will cover the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2011and the related footnote disclosures are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our statement of financial position as of December 31, 2011 and our consolidated results of operations and our cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The results for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any other future annual or interim period.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LCA, a registered investment adviser, and the Trust, a Delaware business trust. In determining whether to consolidate an entity, the Company’s policy is to consider: (i) whether the Company has an equity investment or ownership interest in an entity that is greater than 50% and control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of that entity; or (ii) for variable interest entities (VIE’s) in which the Company has an equity investment, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as a result of a controlling financial interest in the VIE. A controlling financial interest in a VIE exists if the Company has both the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and an economic interest in the VIE, which could be in the form of the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

LCA is wholly-owned by the Company; the Company consolidates LCA’s operations and all intercompany accounts have been eliminated. The Certificates may only be settled with cash flows from the underlying Member Loans held by the Trust consistent with the member payment dependent design of the Notes; Certificate holders do not have recourse to the general credit of the Trust, Company, borrower members, or other investors.

The Trust acquires portions of Member Loans from the Company and holds them for the sole benefit of specific investors that purchase Certificates issued by the Trust and which are related to underlying Member Loans.

The Company’s capital contributions to the Trust have been insufficient to allow the Trust to finance its purchase of any significant amount of Member Loans without the issuance of Certificates to investors. The Trust’s low capitalization levels and structure, wherein investors’ hold beneficial interests in Member Loans via the Certificates, qualifies the Trust as a VIE. The Company believes it is the primary beneficiary of the Trust because of its controlling financial interest in the Trust. The Company performs or directs activities that significantly affect the Trust’s economic performance via (i) operation of the platform that enables borrowers to apply for Member Loans purchased by the Trust; (ii) credit underwriting and servicing of Member Loans purchased by the Trust and, (iii) LCA’s role to source investors that ultimately purchase Certificates that supply the funds for the Trust to purchase Member Loans. Collectively, the activities of the Company, LCA and Trust described above allow the Company to fund more Member Loans and to collect the related loan origination fees, and for LCA to collect the management fees on the investors’ capital used to purchase Trust Certificates, than would be the case without the existence of the Trust. Therefore, the Company receives significant economic benefits from the existence and activities conducted by the Trust. The Company has determined that the Trust meets the consolidation requirements. All intercompany transactions and accounts between the Company, the trust, and LCA have been eliminated.

We have incurred operating losses since our inception. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we incurred a net loss of $4.2 million and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we incurred a net loss of $11.9 million. Additionally, we have an accumulated deficit of $57.6 million and a total stockholders’ deficit of $50.8 million, each as of December 31, 2012.

Historically, we have financed our operations through debt and equity financing from various sources. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 we had positive cash flows from operations of $0.8 million. As of December 31, 2012 we had $52.6 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Our current operating plan calls for continued investments in sales, technology, development, security, underwriting, credit processing and marketing. If our assumptions regarding growth and operating plan are incorrect, we may need to slow our investment spending, which could slow our rate of growth, and we may consume our current liquidity resources.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities. Our most significant judgments, assumptions and estimates and which we believe are critical in understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include: (i) revenue recognition; (ii) fair value determinations; (iii) allowance for loan losses; (iv) share-based compensation; and, (v) provision for income taxes, net of valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. These estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material.

Cash and cash equivalents include various unrestricted deposits with financial institutions in checking, money market and short-term certificate of deposit accounts. We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted cash consists of the Company’s funds in certain checking, certificate of deposit, and money market accounts that are pledged to or held in escrow by our correspondent banks as security for transactions processed on or related to our platform.

All Member Loans originated from April 7, 2008 through November 2012, have been held for investment on our balance sheet based on management’s intent and ability to hold such loans for the foreseeable future or to maturity. Beginning December 2012, certain Member Loans have been originated and designated as “Held for Sale”, in addition to Member Loans originated to be held for investment.

Beginning October 13, 2008, Member Loans were able to be financed by Notes issued by us to investors, and the majority of Member Loans originated since that date have been financed in that manner. These Notes are special limited recourse obligations of LendingClub, in that LendingClub has no obligation to make a payment on a Note until LendingClub receives a payment from the underlying member borrower. Each series of Notes corresponds to a single corresponding Member Loan facilitated through our platform and the payments to investors in the Notes are directly dependent on the timing and amounts of payments received on the related Member Loan. If we do not receive a payment on the Member Loan, we are not obligated to and will not make any payments on the corresponding Notes. In conjunction with this financing structure effective as of October 13, 2008, we adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 825-10, which permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Accordingly, since October 13, 2008, we have elected the fair value option for Member Loan originations that were financed by Notes (“Member Loans at fair value”) and also for the related Notes. Since March 2011, we have also elected the fair value option for all Member Loan originations financed by Certificates and the related Certificates. The estimated unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings.

We facilitate the origination of some Member Loans and finance them ourselves, with sources of funds other than Notes and Certificates, to ensure sufficient financing for loans desired by our borrower members. We receive the same terms on Member Loans that we finance as the terms received by other Note investors. Funds to finance such Member Loan originations were obtained through our borrowings under loan facilities with various entities (see Note 9 – Loans Payable) and issuance of various series of preferred stock (see Note 11 – Preferred Stock). Member Loan originations through September 30, 2011, that were financed by us with sources of funds other than Notes and Certificates are carried at amortized cost, reduced by a valuation allowance for loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date (“Member Loans at amortized cost”). The amortized cost of such Member Loans includes their unpaid principal balance net of unearned income, which is comprised of origination fees charged to borrower members and offset by our incremental direct origination costs for the loans. Unearned income is amortized ratably over the Member Loan’s contractual life using a method that approximates the effective interest method. All Member Loan originations after September 30, 2011 are accounted for at fair value.

The aggregate fair values of the Member Loans at fair value and Notes and Certificates at fair value are reported as separate line items in the assets and liabilities sections of our consolidated balance sheets using the methods and disclosures related to fair value accounting that are described in FASB ASC 820.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Changes in the fair value of the Member Loans at fair value and Notes and Certificates at fair value are recognized, on a gross basis, in earnings.

We determine the fair value of the Member Loans at fair value and Notes and Certificates at fair value in accordance with the fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, which generally requires significant management judgment, when measuring fair value. FASB ASC 820 establishes the following hierarchy for categorizing these inputs:


Level 1 –		Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 –		Significant other observable inputs (e.g. quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and
Level 3 –		Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use inputs that are significant and unobservable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Since observable market prices and inputs are not available for similar assets and liabilities, the Member Loans at fair value and Notes and Certificates at fair value are considered Level 3 financial instruments. We estimated the fair values of Member Loans and their related Notes and Certificates using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology. The estimated fair value of Member Loans is computed by projecting the future contractual cash flows to be received on the loans, adjusting those cash flows for our expectations of prepayments (if significant) and defaults and losses over the life of the loans, and recoveries, if any. We then discount those projected net cash flows to a present value, which is the estimated fair value. Our expectation of future defaults and losses on loans is based on analyses of actual defaults and losses that occurred on the various credit grades of Member Loans over the past several years. Expected recoveries reflect actual historical recovery experience for the various types of defaulted loans and the contractual arrangements with collection agencies. The discount rates for the projected net cash flows of the Member Loans are our estimates of the rates of return that investors in unsecured consumer credit obligations would require when investing in the various credit grades of Member Loans.

LendingClub’s and the Trust’s obligation to pay principal and interest on any Note and Certificate (as applicable) is equal to the pro-rata portion of the payments, if any, received on the related Member Loan at fair value. The gross effective interest rate associated with a Note and a Certificate is the same as the interest rate earned on the related Member Loan. At December 31, 2012, the discounted cash flow methodology used to estimate the Notes’ and Certificates’ fair values uses the same projected net cash flows as their related Member Loans. The discount rates for the projected net cash flows of the Notes and Certificates are our estimates of the rates of return, including risk premiums (if significant) that investors in unsecured consumer credit obligations would require when investing in Notes issued by LendingClub and Certificates issued by the Trust with cash flows dependent on specific credit grades of Member Loans.

For additional discussion on this topic, including the adjustments to the estimated fair values of Loans at fair value and Notes at fair value, as discussed above, see Note 5 – Member Loans at Fair Value and Notes and Certificates at Fair Value.

The Member Loan portfolio is comprised of homogeneous, unsecured loans made to borrower members. Although the terminology and certain required disclosures for impaired and restructured loans apply only to Member Loans at amortized cost pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles as discussed below, we also use similar terminology and classifications for Member Loans at fair value for risk management and internal reporting purposes.

We make an initial assessment whether a Member Loan at amortized cost is impaired no later than the 90th day of delinquency of that loan and at least quarterly thereafter based on their payment status and information gathered through our collection efforts. A Member Loan at amortized cost is considered impaired when, based on loan specific information gathered through our collection efforts, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all the scheduled payments of principal or interest due according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement. Impaired Member Loans at amortized cost include loans at amortized cost that are 90 days or more past due and loans where the borrower has filed a petition in bankruptcy or is deceased.

Prior to December 2011, special payment plans with certain borrowers involved extensions of the original term of the loan by six to 24 months and recasting the borrower’s monthly loan payment schedule, with the modified total term of the loans not exceeding 60 months. In these situations, the restructuring of the Member Loan at amortized cost qualifies as a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) as defined by ASC 310-40, which is classified as a form of an impaired loan. Accordingly, as discussed more fully in Recently Adopted Accounting Standards, “Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A

Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, later in this Note 2, beginning with the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2012, we now also classify TDR’s as impaired Member Loans at amortized cost and include such TDR’s in the disclosures regarding impaired Member Loans at amortized cost.

A loan that has reached its 120th day of delinquency is classified as a nonaccrual loan; we stop accruing interest and reverse all accrued unpaid interest. Once a loan is deemed uncollectible, 100% of the outstanding balance is charged-off, no later than the 150th day of delinquency. Any payment received on a nonaccrual loan is first applied to the unpaid principal amount of the loan and then to any interest due.

For Member Loans funded directly by LendingClub, we may incur losses if borrower members fail to pay their monthly scheduled loan payments. The allowance for loan losses applies only to Member Loans at amortized cost and is a valuation allowance that is established as losses are estimated to have occurred at the balance sheet date through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Because the principal balance of Member Loans at amortized cost at December, 31, 2012 was zero, the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012 was also zero. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2012 was $0.2 million.

The allowance for loan losses was evaluated on a periodic basis by management, and represented an estimate of expected credit losses based on a variety of factors, including the composition and quality of the Member Loans at amortized cost, loan specific information gathered through our collection efforts, delinquency levels, current and historical charge-off and loss experience, current industry charge-off and loss experience, and general economic conditions.

Our estimate of the required allowance for loan losses for Member Loans at amortized cost was developed by estimating both the rate of default of the loans within each credit score band using the FICO credit scoring model, a loan’s collection/impairment status, the borrower’s FICO score at or near the evaluation date, and the estimated amount of probable loss in the event of a borrower member default.

Other receivables consist primarily of accrued interest receivable on Member Loans and to a lesser extent, accounts receivable for management fees due from certain investors in Certificates and other receivables arising in the ordinary course of operations. Accrued interest receivable on Member Loans is reversed for any loan reaching 120 days of delinquency. Receivables arising in the ordinary course of operations are charged-off when deemed to be uncollectible.

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable assets (generally three to five years), and is computed using the straight-line method.

In accordance with FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” the Company evaluates potential impairments of its long-lived assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances that could result in impairment include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business and significant negative industry or economic trends. Determination of recoverability of long-lived assets is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, there was no impairment of long-lived assets.

Software and website development costs are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” The Company capitalizes costs related to internal use software and website application, infrastructure development and content development costs. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities were expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. The capitalized costs are included in “Property and equipment” in the consolidated balance sheets. In each case the software or website is for internal needs. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Company capitalized approximately $0.4 million of software and website development costs, respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 the Company did not capitalize any software and website development costs.

We have placed deposits with certain service providers pursuant to agreements with the service providers. Certain deposits are short-term in nature and generally may be applied toward amounts due the service providers as services are rendered. One deposit with a payment services provider that processes investor payment transactions is ongoing and restricted as to withdrawal throughout the contract term and the amount of the deposit depends on the volume of payment transactions processed. The deposit with the payment services provider is required to be returned to us when payment transaction volumes decline and upon termination or expiration of the agreement.

Payables to Member Lenders primarily represent payments-in-process received from member lenders that, as of the last day of the period, have not been credited to their accounts on the platform and transferred to the separate bank account that holds lenders’ uninvested funds in trust for them.

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses included in sales, marketing and customer service operating expenses were $5.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and $3.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Revenues primarily result from fees earned and net interest income. Fees include loan origination fees (paid by borrower members initially to WebBank), servicing fees (paid by investor member) and management fees (paid by certain Certificate holders).

The loan origination fee charged to each borrower member is determined by the term and credit grade of that borrower’s Member Loan and, as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, ranged from 1.11% to 5.00% of the aggregate Member Loan amount. The Member Loan origination fees are included in the annual percentage rate (“APR”) calculation provided to the borrower member and is subtracted from the gross loan proceeds prior to disbursement of the loan funds to the borrower member. A Member Loan is considered issued when we record the transfer of funds to the borrower member’s account on our platform, following which we initiate an ACH transaction to transfer funds from our platform’s correspondent bank account to the borrower member’s bank account.

The recognition of fee revenue and interest income is determined by the accounting method applied to each Member Loan, which include:

The recognition of fee revenue and interest income for Member Loans under the three accounting methods is described below.

Because of the election to account for Member Loans at fair value, origination fees on Member Loans at fair value are recognized upon origination of the loan and included as a component of non-interest revenue (see Note 15 – Non Interest Revenue). Direct costs to originate Member Loans at fair value are recognized as operating expenses as incurred.

We record interest income on Member Loans at fair value as earned. Loans reaching 120 days delinquent are classified as nonaccrual loans, and we stop accruing interest and reverse all accrued but unpaid interest as of such date.

Origination fees and direct loan origination costs attributable to originations of Member Loans at amortized cost are offset and the net amount is deferred and amortized over the lives of the loans as an adjustment to the interest income earned on the loans.

We record interest income on Member Loans at amortized cost as earned. Loans reaching 120 days delinquent are classified as nonaccrual loans, and we stop accruing interest and reverse all accrued but unpaid interest after such date.

As discussed later in this Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, effective October 1, 2011, we elected the fair value accounting policy for all Member Loans originated on or after October 1, 2011. As a result, there have been no new Member Loan originations that are accounted for at amortized cost since October 1, 2011.

Loans issued that are subsequently sold to third party purchasers, and which meet the accounting requirements for a sale of loans are classified as “held for sale”. The related origination fees and direct loan origination costs for loans classified as “held for sale” are deferred and included in the “overall net investment in the loans” originated until such time as the loans are sold. Accordingly, the origination fees for such loans are not included in origination fee revenue and the direct loan origination costs for such loans are not included in operating expenses. A sale of loans to third party investors requires sale terms whereby the Company does not retain certain financial interests in, or obligations related to, the loans that require the transaction to be accounted as a borrowing by the Company.

Loans are sold by the Company after the loan is issued. A gain or loss on the sale of loans with servicing retained is recorded on the sale date. In order to calculate the gain or loss on the sale of the loans with servicing retained, the Company first determines whether the terms of the servicing arrangement with the investor result in a net servicing asset (i.e., when contractual/expected servicing revenues adequately compensate the Company) or a net servicing liability (i.e., when contractual/expected servicing revenues do not adequately compensate the Company). When contractual/expected servicing revenues do not adequately compensate the Company, a portion of the gross proceeds of the loans sold with servicing retained are allocated to the recording of a net servicing liability. The gain or loss on the sale of loans sold with servicing retained equals the net remaining proceeds from the sale of loans, after allocation of proceeds toward the recording of any net servicing liability, minus the “overall net investment in the loans” being sold.

Additionally, the Company records a liability for any significant estimated post-sale obligations or contingent obligations to the purchaser of the loans, such as delinquent/fraudulent loan repurchase obligations or excess loss indemnification obligations.

At each period-end, the Company estimates the current fair value of the loan servicing asset or loan servicing liability considering the contractual servicing fee revenue, adequate compensation for the Company’s servicing obligations, the current principal balances of the loans and projected defaults and prepayments over the remaining lives of the loans.

The remaining principal balance of loans sold to and serviced for third party investors was $9.6 million at December 31, 2012. Servicing revenue and changes in valuation of servicing rights for loans sold to third party investors was not significant for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. No loans were sold to third parties during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

We record the servicing fees paid by Note holders, which are based on the payments serviced on the related Member Loans at fair value, as a component of non-interest revenue when received.

LCA is the general partner of certain Funds in which it has made no capital contributions and does not receive any allocation of the Funds’ income, expenses, gains, losses nor any carried interest. Each Fund invests in a Certificate issued by the Trust pursuant to a set investment strategy. LCA charges limited partners in the Funds a monthly management fee, payable monthly in arrears, based on a limited partner’s capital account balance as of the end of each month. These management fees can be modified or waived at the discretion of LCA. These management fees are classified as a component of non-interest revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and are recorded as earned.

LCA also earns management fees paid by separately managed account (“SMA”) investors, paid monthly in arrears, based on the month-end balances in the SMA accounts.

Fair Valuation Adjustments of Member Loans at Fair Value and Notes and Certificates at Fair Value

We include in earnings the estimated unrealized fair value gains or losses during the period of Member Loans at fair value, and the offsetting estimated fair value losses or gains on related Notes and Certificates at fair value. As discussed earlier in this Note 2, at December 31, 2012, we estimated the fair values of Member Loans at fair value and related Notes and Certificates using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology. At each reporting period, we recognize fair valuation adjustments for the Member Loans at fair value and for the Notes and Certificates. The fair valuation adjustment for a given principal amount of a Member Loan at fair value will be approximately equal to the corresponding estimated fair valuation adjustment on the combined principal amounts of related Notes and Certificates because the same net cash flows of the Member Loan and the related Notes and/or Certificates are used in the discounted cash flow valuation methodology.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, Member Loans funded directly by LendingClub and the related accrued interest receivable, and deposits with service providers. We hold our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in accounts at regulated domestic financial institutions. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by these institutions to the extent the amount recorded on the balance sheet exceeds the FDIC insured amounts. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Company has funded one loan for $0.01 million.

We obtain third-party credit reports and perform other evaluations of our borrower members’ financial condition, as needed, and do not allow borrower members to have more than two Member Loans outstanding at any one time. All of our loans are unsecured but we maintain a fair value allowance for Member Loans at fair value and an allowance for loan losses for Member Loans at amortized cost, as described above. Additionally, the potential gross credit risk to the Company from Member Loans is significantly mitigated to the extent that loans are financed by Notes or Certificates which absorb the loans’ credit losses pursuant to the member payment dependency provision.

The deposits placed with the majority of the service providers are short-term and generally may be applied toward amounts due the providers as services are rendered. One deposit with a nationally recognized payment services provider is ongoing throughout the contract term and is required to be returned to us when payment transaction volumes decline and upon termination or expiration of the agreement. The payments services agreement is cancelable by us at any time.

All share-based awards made to employees, including grants of employee stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchase rights, are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their respective grant date fair values. Any benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost are reported as a financing cash inflow and a cash outflow from operating activities.

The fair value of share-option awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model considers, among other factors, the expected term of the option award, the expected volatility of our stock price and expected future dividends, if any.

Forfeitures of awards are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures, such that expense is recorded only for those stock-based awards that are expected to vest.

Share-based awards issued to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with provisions of ASC 718-505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires that equity awards be recorded at their fair value. We use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of options granted to non-employees at each vesting date to determine the appropriate charge to stock-based compensation. The assumed volatility of the price of our common stock was based on comparative public-company stock price volatility.

Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation for accrued interest receivable, prepaid and other assets, accrued interest payable, and accrued expenses and other assets. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of consolidated operations or consolidated stockholders’ equity.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The ASU clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of a TDR. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments to ASU Topic 310, Receivables, clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. For nonpublic entities, the required disclosures are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2012, including interim periods within that annual period, with retrospective disclosures required for all TDR activities that have occurred from the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The Company is considered a nonpublic entity with respect to determination of the effective date of this ASU. Accordingly, the Company adopted this ASU for its quarterly period ending June 30, 2012. This guidance did not have a material effect on our identification of TDR’s or recording of impairment losses, but resulted in additional disclosures for Member Loans at amortized cost.

The FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, in May 2011. This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB,” collectively the “Boards”) on fair value measurement, which have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value.” Requirements of ASU 2011-04 include, among other things, application of relevant premiums and discounts for fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy, disclosure of quantitative information about the fair value sensitivity of changes in unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the category level of items not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. The amendments to the Codification in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. Because of the Company’s requirement to file financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), although the Company is a non-public entity it is considered a public entity for purposes of determining the effective date of, and certain disclosures required by this ASU. Accordingly, the Company adopted this ASU for its annual periods beginning April 1, 2012 and interim periods within those annual periods. The impact of adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of consolidated operations or financial position but resulted in additional fair value disclosures.

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss per share attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. We compute net loss per share of common stock using the two-class method required for participating securities. We consider all series of our convertible preferred stock to be participating securities due to their non-cumulative dividend rights. In accordance with the two-class method, earnings allocated to these participating securities, which include participation rights in undistributed earnings (see Note 11 – Preferred Stock to the consolidated financial statements for a description), are subtracted from net income to determine total undistributed earnings to be allocated to common stockholders. All participating securities are excluded from basic weighted-average common shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share includes the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders, if presented would be calculated by taking undistributed earnings and reallocating them to reflect the potential impact of dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effects of potentially dilutive common shares, which are comprised of outstanding stock options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock. The effects of outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per common share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive.

The following table details the computation of the basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except shares and per share data):

All Member Loans at amortized cost are fixed-rate fully-amortizing unsecured consumer loans with original terms of three years or five years. As such, Member Loans at amortized cost represent a single class of financing receivable with a single portfolio segment. There have been no new Member Loans at amortized cost originated after September 30, 2011. During 2012, the remaining Member Loans at amortized costs were reclassified as Member Loans at fair value. Outstanding Member Loans at amortized cost, net of deferred origination costs/(revenue), as of December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011 are presented in the following table (in thousands):

The activity in the allowance for loan losses for Member Loans at amortized cost for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

The estimated fair value of Member Loans at amortized cost was approximately equivalent to their net carrying value.

The internal credit risk rating for each borrower’s loan considers the borrower’s FICO score and other credit-related information obtained at the time of the loan application. Updated FICO scores and the payment status of the borrower’s loan were two key factors used to establish the allowance for loan losses for Member Loans at amortized cost. Member Loans that were current in their payment status represented the lowest credit risk while loans that are 31-89 days past due represented an increased risk of potential credit loss that warranted active collection efforts and monitoring. Loans 90 days or more past due and loans where the borrower has filed a petition in bankruptcy or is deceased were deemed to be impaired and were subject to significant risk of loss.

At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, we had the following assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

We determined the fair values of Member Loans at fair value and Notes and Certificates at fair value using inputs and methods that are categorized in the fair value hierarchy of ASC 820, as follows (in thousands):

Instruments in the Level 3 valuation hierarchy are based on significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. Our fair value approach for Level 3 instruments primarily uses unobservable inputs, but may also include observable, actively quoted components derived from external sources. As a result, the realized and unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs. The following table presents additional information about Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and the nine months ended December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

There were $2.1 million of reclassifications of Member Loans at amortized cost to Member Loans at fair value during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. These reclassifications represented Member Loans that were funded by the Company but were subsequently financed by Notes and/or Certificates.

At December 31, 2012, Notes and Certificates have terms of 36 months or 60 months and are paid monthly with fixed interest rates ranging from 5.42% to 24.89% and various maturity dates through December 2017.

As discussed previously in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, fair values for Member Loans at fair value and the related Notes and Certificates are determined using a discounted cash flow model utilizing estimates for credit losses, prepayments, changes in the interest rate environment, and other factors. For Notes and Certificates, we also consider risk factors such as the Company’s liquidity position. The majority of fair valuation adjustments included in earnings is attributable to changes in estimated instrument-specific future credit losses. All fair valuation adjustments were related to Level 3 instruments for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. A specific loan that is projected to have higher future default losses than previously estimated lowers the expected future cash flows of the Member Loan over its remaining life, which reduces its estimated fair value. Conversely, a specific loan that is projected to have lower future default losses than previously estimated increases the expected future cash flows of the Member Loan over its remaining life, which increases its fair value. Because the payments to holders of Notes and Certificates directly reflect the payments received on Member Loans at fair value, a reduction or increase of the expected future payments on Member Loans at fair value decreases or increases the estimated fair values of the related Notes and Certificates. Expected losses and actual loan charge-offs on Member Loans at fair value are offset to the extent that the loans are financed by Notes and Certificates that absorb the related loan losses.

Fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Member Loans at fair value were $(18.8 million) and $(1.9 million) for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $(6.7 million) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

The fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Notes and Certificates was $18.2 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Notes and Certificates was $6.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. The fair value adjustments for Member Loans at fair value were largely offset by the fair value adjustments of the Notes and Certificates due to the member-payment-dependent design of the Notes and Certificates and because the principal balances of the Member Loans at fair value were very close to the combined principal balances of the Notes and Certificates. Accordingly, the net fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Member Loans at fair value, Notes and Certificates was $(0.6 million) and $0.04 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The net fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Member Loans at fair value, Notes and Certificates was $(0.001 million) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

At December 31, 2012, we had 576 Member Loans at fair value that were 90 days or more past due or where the borrower has filed for bankruptcy or is deceased, which had a total outstanding principal balance of $6.4 million, aggregate adverse fair value adjustments totaling $5.7 million and an aggregate fair value of $0.7 million. At March 31, 2012, we had 271 Member Loans at fair value that were 90 days or more past due or where the borrower has filed for bankruptcy or is deceased, which had a total outstanding principal balance of $2.3 million, aggregate adverse fair value adjustments totaling $2.1 million and an aggregate fair value of $0.2 million. At December 31, 2011, we had 296 Member Loans at fair value that were 90 days or more past due or where the borrower has filed for bankruptcy or is deceased, which had a total outstanding principal balance of $2.4 million, aggregate adverse fair value adjustments totaling $2.1 million and an aggregate fair value of $0.3 million.

At December 31, 2012, we had 222 Member Loans at fair value representing $2.4 million of outstanding principal and $0.3 million of fair value, and Notes and Certificates with $2.4 million of outstanding principal balance and a fair value of $0.3 million that were on nonaccrual status. At March 31, 2012, we had 81 Member Loans at fair value representing $0.7 million of outstanding principal and $0.1 million of fair value, and Notes and Certificates with $0.7 million of outstanding principal balance and a fair value of $0.1 million that were on nonaccrual status. At December 31, 2011, we had 11 Member Loans at fair value representing $0.1 million of outstanding principal and $0.01 million of fair value, and Notes with a fair value of $0.01 million that were on nonaccrual status.

The following table presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for certain of our Level 3 fair value measurements at December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

The valuation technique used for our Level 3 assets and liabilities, as presented in the previous table, is described as follows:

Discounted cash flow – Discounted cash flow valuation techniques generally consist of developing an estimate of future cash flows that are expected to occur over the life of a financial instrument and then discounting those cash flows at a rate of return that results in the fair value amount.

Significant unobservable inputs presented in the previous table are those we consider significant to the estimated fair values of the Level 3 assets and liabilities. We consider unobservable inputs to be significant, if by their exclusion, the estimated fair value of the Level 3 asset or liability would be impacted by a significant percentage change, or based on qualitative factors such as nature of the instrument and the significance of the unobservable inputs relative to other inputs used within the valuation. Following is a description of the significant unobservable inputs provided in the table.

Discount rate – is a rate of return used to discount future expected cash flows to arrive at a present value, the fair value, of a financial instrument. The discount rates for the projected net cash flows of Member Loans are our estimates of the rates of return that investors in unsecured consumer credit obligations would require when investing in the various credit grades of Member Loans. The discount rates for the projected net cash flows of the Notes and Certificates are our estimates of the rates of return that investors in unsecured consumer credit obligations would require when investing in Notes issued by LendingClub and Certificates issued by the Trust with cash flows dependent on specific grades of Member Loans. Discount rates for existing Member Loans, Notes and Certificates are adjusted to reflect the time value of money. A risk premium component is implicitly included in the discount rates to reflect the amount of compensation market participants require due to the uncertainty inherent in the instruments’ cash flows resulting from risks such as credit and liquidity.

Net cumulative loss – is an estimate of the net cumulative principal payments that will not be repaid over the entire life of a new Loan, Note or Certificate, expressed as a percentage of the original principal amount of the Loan, Note or Certificate. The estimated net cumulative loss is the sum of the net losses estimated to occur each month of the life of a new Loan, Note or Certificate. Therefore, the total net losses estimated to occur though the remaining maturity of existing Loans, Notes and Certificates are less than the estimated net cumulative losses of comparable new Loans, Notes and Certificates. A given month’s estimated net losses are a function of two variables:

Significant Recurring Level 3 Fair Value Asset and Liability Input Sensitivity

We use a discounted cash flow technique to determine the fair value of our Level 3 Member Loans, Notes and Certificates at fair value. Use of this technique requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs as indicated in the preceding table. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs may have a significant impact on fair value. Certain of these unobservable inputs will (in isolation) have a directionally consistent impact on the fair value of the instrument for a given change in that input. Alternatively, the fair value of the instrument may move in an opposite direction for a given change in another input. For example, increases in the discount rate and estimated net cumulative loss rates will reduce the

estimated fair value of Member Loans, Notes and Certificates. When multiple inputs are used within the valuation technique of a Loan, Note or Certificate at fair value, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change in another input.

We had deposits of $0.7 million, $1.0 million and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, with certain service providers pursuant to agreements with service providers. This deposit is used for transactions related to our platform and is required pursuant to the agreement with the payment services provider, serves as collateral for the protection of the payment services provider and our members, and is restricted as to withdrawal. The deposit is ongoing throughout the term of the contract and the amount of the deposit depends on the volume of payment transactions processed. The deposit is required to be returned to us when payment transaction volumes decline and upon termination or expiration of the agreement.

The remaining principal balances due on all loans payable were paid in full in July 2012.

As of March 31, 2012, the combined outstanding principal balances under these two agreements totaled $0.3 million. Both loans were fully amortizing with final scheduled maturities in July 2012, which we paid in full in July 2012.

The balance of the private placement notes at December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was zero, $0.02 million and $0.06 million, respectively. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we entered into a series of loan and security agreements with accredited investors providing for loans evidenced by notes payable totaling $4.1 million. Each private placement note is repayable over three years and bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. In June and July 2009, we issued an additional $0.2 million of private placement notes which bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All remaining private placement notes were paid in full at their scheduled maturity in July 2012.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, these related parties made LendingClub Platform deposits, Platform withdrawals, and invested in Notes and Certificates, as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, these related parties had outstanding principal invested balances as follows (in thousands):

In June 2012, we issued via private placement 2.5 million shares of Series E convertible preferred stock at $7.00 per share for aggregate gross cash consideration $17.5 million. The shares are convertible into shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, initially on a one-for-one basis, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the LendingClub certificate of incorporation. The two investors in the Series E convertible preferred stock were KPCB Holdings, Inc., as nominee (“KPCB”), and John J. Mack, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”). In conjunction with the Series E financing, the Board appointed Mary Meeker, General Partner of KPCB, as a member of the Company’s Board. In connection with our private placement of Series E convertible preferred stock, we incurred transaction expenses of $0.2 million that were recorded as a reduction to gross proceeds.

In connection with the sale of Series E convertible preferred stock in June 2012, we filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware, which reduced the total number of shares that we are authorized to issue from 158,046,088 shares to 151,617,516 shares, 90,000,000 shares of which are designated as common stock, and 61,617,516 shares of which are designated as preferred stock. Of the total shares of preferred stock, 17,006,275 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 16,410,526 shares are designated as Series B Preferred Stock, 15,621,609 shares are designated as Series C Preferred Stock, 9,007,678 shares are designated as Series D Preferred Stock and 3,571,428 shares are designated as Series E Preferred Stock. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s Preferred Stock and Common Stock (voting together as a single class on an as-converted to Common Stock basis).

In July 2011, we issued and sold 7,027,604 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock via private placement for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $25.0 million. In August 2011, we issued and sold an additional 281,104 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $1.0 million. In January 2012, we issued and sold an additional 1,698,970 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $6.0 million. In connection with these private placements of Series D convertible preferred stock, we incurred transaction expenses of approximately $0.1 million that were recorded as a reduction to gross proceeds.

The outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock are not mandatorily redeemable. The sale of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets, a consolidation or merger with another company, or a transfer of voting control in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s voting power are all events which are deemed to be a liquidation and would trigger the payment of liquidation preferences under the preferred stock agreements. All such events require approval of the Board. Therefore, based on the guidance of SEC Accounting Series Release No. 268, “Presentation in Financial Statements of Redeemable Preferred Stocks,” the contingently redeemable convertible preferred stock has been classified outside of the stockholders’ equity section as certain of these factors are outside the control of the Company. The significant terms of outstanding Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E convertible preferred stock are as follows:

Conversion – Each share of convertible preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, initially, into one share of common stock (subject to adjustments for events of dilution). Each share of convertible preferred stock will automatically be converted upon the earlier of: (i) the closing of an underwritten public offering of our common stock with aggregate gross proceeds that are at least $30.0 million; or (ii) the consent of the holders of a 55% majority of outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, voting together as a single class, on an as-converted to common stock basis. The Company’s preferred stock agreements contain certain anti-dilution provisions, whereby if the Company issues additional shares of capital stock for an effective price lower than the conversion price for a series of preferred stock immediately prior to such issue, then the existing conversion price of such series of preferred stock will be reduced. The Company determined that while its convertible preferred stock contains certain anti-dilution features, the conversion feature embedded within its convertible preferred stock does not require bifurcation under the guidance of FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Liquidation preference – Upon any liquidation, winding up or dissolution of us, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation Event”), before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any common stock, the holders of convertible preferred stock shall, on a pari passu basis, be entitled to receive by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share of Series A convertible preferred stock equal to $1.065 (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and the like) plus all declared and unpaid dividends (the “Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference”), an amount per share of Series B convertible preferred stock equal to $0.7483 (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and the like) plus all declared and unpaid dividends (the “Series B Preferred Liquidation Preference”), an amount per share of Series C convertible preferred stock equal to $1.5677 (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and the like), an amount per share of Series D convertible preferred stock equal to $3.557 and an amount per share of Series E convertible preferred stock equal to $7.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and the like). However, if upon any such Liquidation Event, our assets shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of convertible preferred stock of their respective liquidation preferences, then the entire assets of ours legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority between the preferred holders based upon the amounts such series was to receive. Any excess assets, after payment in full of the liquidation preferences to the convertible preferred stockholders, are then allocated to the holders of common and preferred stockholders, pro-rata, on an as-if-converted to common stock basis.

Dividends – If and when declared by the Board, the holders of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E convertible preferred stock, on a pari passu basis, will be entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends at a rate of 6% per annum in preference to any dividends on common stock (subject to adjustment for certain events). The holders of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E convertible preferred stock are also entitled to receive with common stockholders, on an as-if-converted basis, any additional dividends issued by us.

Voting rights – Generally, preferred stockholders have one vote for each share of common stock that would be issuable upon conversion of preferred stock. Voting as a separate class, and on an as-if-converted to common stock basis, the Series A convertible preferred stockholders are entitled to elect two members of the Board, the holders of Series B convertible preferred stockholders are entitled to elect one member of the Board. The Series C and Series D convertible preferred stockholders are not entitled to elect a member of the Board. The Series E convertible preferred stockholders are entitled to nominate members to the Board, these nominees require all convertible preferred stockholder to be elected. The holders of common stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of the Board. The remaining directors are elected by the preferred stockholders and common stockholders voting together as a single class on an as-if-converted to common stock basis.

As of December 31, 2012, we have shares of common stock authorized and reserved for future issuance as follows:

During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we issued 2,141,288 shares of common stock in exchange for proceeds of $0.7 million upon the exercise of employee stock options. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we issued 539,673 shares of common stock in exchange for proceeds of $0.2 million upon the exercise of employee stock options and during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, we issued 35,812 shares of common stock in exchange for proceeds of $0.01 million upon the exercise of employee stock options.

Convertible preferred Series A stock warrants are fully exercisable with an exercise price of $1.065 per share. The warrants may be exercised at any time on or before January 2018.

Common stock warrants are fully exercisable with exercise prices of $0.01 and $1.5677 per share. The warrants may be exercised at any time on or before February 2021.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we issued 568,073 shares of Preferred A stock in exchange for proceeds of $0.6 million upon the exercises of Preferred A warrants, 357,978 shares of Preferred B stock in exchange for proceeds of $0.2 million upon the exercises of Preferred B warrants, and 21,688 common shares for proceeds of $0.03 million upon the exercise of common stock warrants.

We have incurred operating losses since our inception, including net losses of $4.2 million and $9.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $11.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. We have an accumulated deficit of $57.6 million and a stockholders’ deficit of $50.8 million, at December 31, 2012.

Under our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, or the Option Plan, we may grant options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, executives, directors and consultants at exercise prices not less than the fair market value at date of grant for incentive stock options and not less than 85% of the fair market value at the date of grant for non-statutory options. An aggregate of 14,059,948 shares have been authorized for issuance under the Option Plan. The options granted through December 31, 2012 are stock options that generally expire ten years from the date of grant and generally vest 25% twelve months from the date of grant, and ratably over the next 12 quarters thereafter, provided the grantee remains continuously employed by the Company through each vesting date (“service-based options”). As discussed further below, certain stock options with ten year terms vest immediately upon achievement of specified performance goals provided the grantee remains continuously employed by the Company through each performance measurement date (“performance-based options”).

For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we granted stock options to purchase a total of 3,811,236 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $2.39 per share, a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.40 per share and a total estimated fair value of approximately $10.6 million. All of these options were service-based stock options that expire ten years from the date of grant and generally vest 25% twelve months from the date of grant, and ratably over the next 12 quarters thereafter provided the grantee remains continuously employed by the Company through each vesting date.

There were no stock options granted to purchase shares of common stock for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

For the year-ended March 31, 2012, we granted stock options to purchase a total of 3,583,419 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $0.71 per share, a weighted average grant date fair value of $0.42 per share and a total estimated fair value of approximately $1.5 million. Of the total option grants, 3,001,587 were service-based stock options. The remaining 581,832 options were performance-based options with ten year terms that were granted to an executive officer. The performance-based options provide for a variable number of options to vest immediately based on the degree of achievement of specified performance goals as of the relevant performance measurement dates, provided the grantee also remains continuously employed by the Company through each of the performance measurement dates that extend through July 2014.

We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted in the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, with the following significant assumptions:

No options were granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The assumed forfeiture rate is the annual percentage of unvested stock options that are assumed to be forfeited or cancelled due to grantees discontinuing employment with the Company. Because service-based stock options normally vest over a four year period, the forfeiture assumption is used to estimate the number of stock options that are expected to vest in future periods, which affects the estimate of the forfeiture-adjusted aggregate stock-based compensation expense related to the stock options. The forfeiture assumption was developed considering the Company’s actual annual forfeiture rates for unvested stock options over the past four years and analyzing the distribution of unvested stock options held by executive officers, senior managers and other employees as of December 31, 2012. Holding other assumptions constant, a higher forfeiture rate reduces the number of options expected to vest in future periods, which lowers the estimated forfeiture-adjusted aggregate stock-based compensation expense related to any affected stock options.

We have paid no cash dividends and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore used an expected dividend yield of 0.0% in our option-pricing models.

We have elected to use the calculated-value method under FASB ASC 718 to calculate the stock price volatility assumption for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we updated the set of peer group public companies used to derive the stock price volatility assumption: the peer group companies all are small- or micro-capitalization companies that conduct business in the consumer finance or investment management sectors. The weighted-average historical stock price volatility of the set of peer companies used in the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was substantially the same as the weighted-average historical stock price volatility, measured over the same time periods, as the peer companies used in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and prior years. The change in this option valuation assumption did not have a significant impact on the valuation of the stock options granted in the nine months ended December 31, 2012.

The expected life represents the period of time that stock options are estimated to be outstanding, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the awards, vesting schedules, and expectations of future exercise patterns and post-vesting employee termination behavior. Given our limited operating history, the simplified method was applied to calculate the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of the awards in effect at the time of grant.

Options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2012 were 2,996,008 at a weighted average exercise price of $0.40.

Options to purchase 2,158,928 shares with a total intrinsic value (fair value less exercise price) of $3.8 million were exercised in the nine months ended December 31, 2012. Options to purchase 539,673 shares with a total intrinsic value (fair value less exercise price) of $144,005 were exercised in the year ended March 31, 2012.

The total fair value of options vested during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $7.1 million. The total fair value of options vested during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was $1.3 million.

A summary of outstanding options, vested options and options vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2012, is as follows:

A summary by weighted average exercise price of outstanding options, vested options, and options vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2012, is as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value of the options outstanding, vested options and options expected to vest was $15.8 million at December 31, 2012.

The Company recognized $1.1 million and $0.3 of stock based compensation expense related to stock options for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company recognized $0.6 million of stock based compensation expense related to stock options for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, total unrecognized compensation cost was $5.4 million and these costs are expected to be recognized over 3.3 years.

No net income tax benefit has been recognized relating to stock-based compensation expense and no tax benefits have been realized from exercised stock options.

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method as codified in Topic 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we estimate our income taxes due to applicable federal, state and local jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves determining our income tax expense or benefit together with calculating the deferred income tax expense or benefit related to temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for financial accounting versus tax accounting purposes, such as deferred revenue and deductibility of certain expenses. These differences, along with the benefit of deducting the Company’s operating losses incurred since inception against future taxable income, result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. We then assess the likelihood and extent to which the deferred tax assets are expected to be recovered through the generation of future taxable income.

The Company recorded no net provision for income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 or the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 due to the operating losses and full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets recorded in all of the periods then ended. Payments of minimum amounts due to state taxing authorities upon the filing of state tax returns are recorded as operating expenses instead of income tax expense.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, as follows (in thousands):

The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, are as follows (in thousands):

Due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the realization of the deferred tax assets in future tax returns, the Company has placed a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $53.0 million and $47.1 million, respectively, to offset future federal taxable income, which will begin to expire commencing in 2027.

At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company had state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $54.5 million and $46.9 million, respectively, to offset future state taxable income, which will begin to expire commencing in 2016.

At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company has federal research and development tax credit carry forwards of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which will begin to expire commencing in 2027.

At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company has state research and development tax credit carry forwards of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The state tax credit may be carried indefinitely.

In general, a corporation’s ability to utilize its net operating loss (NOL) and research and development (R&D) credit carryforwards may be substantially limited due to ownership changes that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), as well as similar state provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOL and R&D credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an “ownership change,” as defined by Section 382 of the Code, results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percent of the capital (as defined) of a company by certain stockholders or public groups.

The amount of such limitations on the Company’s total federal net operating losses of approximately $49.5 million incurred since the Company’s inception in October 2006 through the fiscal year-ended March 31, 2012 has been analyzed, and the Company believes limitations exist only on the future annual deductibility of approximately $2.5 million of the Company’s total net operating loss carryforwards. Additionally, the Company had certain capital transactions during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, that trigger a testing date and the Company has completed a preliminary study to assess whether one or more ownership changes have occurred since March 31, 2012. The Company believes it has not experienced an ownership change of more than 50 percent as a result of the capital transactions in the nine months ended December 31, 2012. Therefore, utilization of certain NOL or tax credit carryforwards are believed not to be subject to additional annual limitations beyond the limitation discussed above.

The annual limitations on a Company’s NOL or tax credit carryforwards is determined by first multiplying the value of the Company’s capital at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to additional adjustments, as required. In the most adverse case, such limitation may result in the expiration of a portion of the NOL or tax credit carryforwards before utilization. Any carryforwards that expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. Due to the Company’s full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, it is not expected that any possible limitation on the future deductibility of NOL or tax credit carryforwards will have an impact on the results of operations of the Company. As of December 31, 2012, we continued to have a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. Due to the continuation of operating losses for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, our expectations for business growth, uncertainty regarding profitability in the coming years, and the impact of that uncertainty on the future realization of the net operating loss carryforwards, we believe it is more likely than not that all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We did not have any foreign operations and therefore did not record any provisions for income taxes on non-U.S. income during the period.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes on April 1, 2007, which provide guidance for accounting for uncertainty in tax positions and require that companies recognize a benefit from a tax position in their consolidated financial statements only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will sustain, upon audit, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions that met the recognition threshold, the Company records the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon effective settlement with the taxing authority. The adoption did not impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for fiscal 2011 or 2012.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of these provisions, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and associated accrued interest or penalties. There were no interest expense or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits recognized during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company’s cumulative unrecognized tax benefit was approximately $0.4 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, which was netted against deferred tax assets with a full valuation allowance. If the cumulative unrecognized tax benefit is recognized there will be no effect on the Company’s effective tax rate. The aggregate changes in the balance of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit were as follows (in thousands):

We do not believe the total amount of unrecognized benefit as of December 31, 2012, will increase or decrease significantly in the next twelve months.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, California, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and New York City jurisdictions. Our tax years for 2006 and forward are subject to examination by the U.S., California, Connecticut, Arizona and Indiana tax authorities as the statutes of limitation remain open.

Non-interest revenue consists of loan origination fees collected upon origination of Member Loans at fair value, servicing fees collected as payments are made to investors in Notes, management fees earned from investors in Certificates and other revenue.

The following table summarizes the components of non-interest revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 (in thousands):

16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis in the Balance Sheet

Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for estimating the fair values of financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet; these financial instruments are carried at historical cost or amortized cost in the balance sheets.

Short-Term Financial Assets: Short-term financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accrued interest and other receivables and deposits with service providers. These assets are carried at historical cost. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.

Member Loans at Amortized Cost: The carrying value of Member loans at amortized cost equals the principal balance of such loans minus the related net unearned income, which is comprised of origination fees charged to borrower members and offset by our incremental direct origination costs for the loans, and reduced by a valuation allowance for loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of two components: expected losses on unimpaired loans collectively evaluated for impairment and impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment. The methodologies used to establish the two components of the allowance for loan losses for unimpaired loans and impaired loans result in a net carrying value for Member Loans at amortized cost that is approximately equivalent to their fair value.

Short-Term Financial Liabilities: Short-term financial liabilities include accrued interest payable and other accrued expenses, and payables to member lenders. These liabilities are carried at historical cost. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.

Loans Payable: Loans payable are carried at amortized cost. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.

In July 2012, we entered into a lease agreement for additional space in our corporate headquarters location in San Francisco, CA, which includes our principal administrative, marketing, technical support and engineering functions. The lease commenced on September 15, 2012 and expires in June 2017. The average monthly rent expense for the additional space in our corporate headquarters is approximately $0.1 million and we pledged $0.1 million as a security deposit.

In April 2011, we entered into a lease agreement for a space in San Francisco, CA for our corporate headquarters. The lease began on May 1, 2011 and expires in June 2017. We can terminate the lease upon nine months’ notice prior to the third anniversary of the lease. The lease contains an escalation clause whereby the base rent increases on an annual basis. The average monthly rent expense for this space in our corporate headquarters is approximately $0.04 million and we pledged $0.2 million as a security deposit.

Since July 2010, we entered into several month-to-month or short-term lease agreements for the lease of office space, ranging from 250 to 400 square feet, in New York City. In December 2012, we renewed the lease for a New York City office for a one year term that expires on January 31, 2014. The average monthly rent for this space is approximately $0.003 million.

Facilities rental expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $0.6 million. Facilities rental expense for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 was $0.5 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2012, the approximate future minimum lease payments payable under the contracts for leased premises is as follows:

In regards to loans listed on the platform as a result of direct marketing efforts, we have committed to invest in such loans in order for these loans to have investment commitments equal to the lesser of the amount approved and $10,000 at the time of issuance. Based upon our platform’s performance to date we have not had to commit any material capital amounts to these loans and as such we have not recorded a contingent obligation on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 or March 31, 2012.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Credit Support Agreement with a Certificate investor. The Credit Support Agreement requires the Company to pledge and restrict cash in support of its contingent obligation to reimburse the investor for credit losses on Member Loans underlying the investor’s Certificate, that are in excess of a specified, aggregate loss threshold. The Company is contingently obligated to pledge cash, not to exceed $3.0 million, to support this contingent obligation and which number is premised upon investor volume. As of December 31, 2012, approximately $2.3 million was pledged and restricted to support this contingent obligation.

As of December 31, 2012, the credit losses pertaining to the investor’s Certificate have not exceeded the specified threshold, nor are future credit losses expected to exceed the specified threshold, and thus no expense or liability has been recorded. The Company currently does not anticipate recording losses resulting from its contingent obligation under this Credit Support Agreement. If losses related to the Credit Support Agreement are later determined to be likely to occur and are estimable, results of operations could be affected in the period in which such losses are recorded.

The Company may be subject to pending legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, the Company does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of any such matter will have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

We maintain a 401(k) defined contribution plan that covers substantially all of our employees. Participants may elect to contribute their annual compensation up to the maximum limit imposed by federal tax law. The Company, at its discretion, may make annual matching contributions to the plan. The Company has made no matching contributions to the plan through December 31, 2012.

The Company reports segment information using the “management approach.” Under this approach, operating segments are identified in substantially the same manner as they are reported internally and used by the Company for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources. Based on this approach, we have one reportable segment. Our management reporting process is based on our internal operating structure, which is subject to change and is not necessarily similar to that of other comparable companies.

Subsequent to December 31, 2012 and through the date of issuance of these financial statements, the following subsequent event occurred.
