Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 18, 2009, LendingClub Corporation (“Lending Club”) entered into a secured $4.0 million loan facility with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and Gold Hill Venture Lending 03, LP (“Gold Hill”) pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement dated May 18, 2009 (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) and amended certain prior loan agreements with SVB and Goldhill. Interest on borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement is at a per annum rate of 10.0%. We also paid a commitment fee of $20,000 on the effective date of the loan facility and $9,850 of SVB’s and Gold Hill’s expenses in connection with the facility. The borrowings are to be used to fund borrower member loans (“Funded Loans”) on our lending platform. The borrowings under the loan facility are secured by a blanket lien on substantially all of our assets, except for our intellectual property rights and certain deposit accounts. The borrower member notes and certain payments we receive in respect of borrower member loans on which our Member Payment Dependent Notes are dependent are also excluded from the blanket lien. SVB and Gold Hill also received the right to invest up to $500,000 each in our next round of equity financing on the same terms as offered to other investors. Additionally, the loan facility requires Lending Club to maintain a certificate of deposit in the amount of $300,000 at SVB (“CD Collateral”) until repayment. On a monthly basis, Lending Club also agreed to maintain a minimum ratio of (i) the sum of CD Collateral and outstanding balance of Funded Loans which are current in their payment status to (ii) outstanding balance under the Loan and Security Agreement of 1.05:1 (“Minimum Collateral Ratio”). In the event the Minimum Collateral Ratio is less than 1.05:1 then Lending Club must increase CD Collateral to meet the Minimum Collateral Ratio.
In connection with this facility, Lending Club issued a fully vested warrant to purchase 187,090 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock with an exercise price of $0.7483 per share to SVB (the “SVB Warrant”).
In connection with this facility, Lending Club issued a fully vested warrant to purchase 187,090 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock with an exercise price of $0.7483 per share to Gold Hill (the “Gold Hill Warrant”).
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid in connection with the SVB Warrant and the GoldHill Warrant. The SVB Warrant and the GoldHill Warrant were sold in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as set forth in Section 4(2) under the Securities Act relative to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering.
