Illustration of Servicing Fee and Annual Returns for Fully Performing Loans of Each Loan Grade
The following tables illustrate hypothetical annual return information with respect to our Member Payment Dependent Notes, grouped by Lending Club grade and term. The information in these tables is not based on actual results for investors and is presented only to illustrate the effects of Lending Club’s 1.00% servicing fee by grade on hypothetical annual Member Payment Dependent Note returns. By column, each table presents:
loan grades;
the annual stated interest rate;
the reduction in the annual return due to Lending Club's 1.00% servicing fee on both interest and principal payments; and
the hypothetical annual returns on Notes, net of Lending Club's servicing fee.
