1. Basis of Presentation

LendingClub Corporation (LendingClub) operates an online marketplace lending platform that connects borrowers and investors. LC Advisors, LLC (LCA), is a registered investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and wholly-owned subsidiary of LendingClub that acts as the general partner for certain private funds. Additionally, LCA is an advisor to separately managed accounts (SMAs) and funds of which LCA’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are the general partners. Springstone Financial, LLC (Springstone), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of LendingClub that facilitates education and patient finance loans. LC Trust I (the Trust) is an independent Delaware business trust that acquires loans from LendingClub and holds them for the sole benefit of certain investors that have purchased trust certificates (Certificates) issued by the Trust that are related to specific underlying loans for the benefit of the investor.

As the sponsor of an asset-backed securities securitization transaction, LendingClub owns a 56% interest in a majority-owned affiliate (MOA). The Company holds a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary of the MOA and consolidates the MOA in its financial statements. For additional information about the Company’s securitization activities, see “Note 6. Securitization of Personal Whole Loans.”

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include LendingClub, its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company, we, or us) and consolidated variable interest entities. Noncontrolling interests are reported as a separate component of consolidated equity from the equity attributable to LendingClub’s stockholders for all periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the results and financial position for the periods presented. These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and results reported in the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or any other interim period.

In the first quarter of 2017, the Company simplified the presentation of “Total net revenue” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to present revenues from transactions with investors as a single line item reported as “Investor fees ” by aggregating the revenues previously separately reported as “Servicing fees” and “Management fees.” Additionally, the Company aggregated “Fair value adjustments - loans, loans held for sale, notes and certificates” into “Other revenue (expense).” These changes had no impact to “Total net revenue.” Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and these related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (Annual Report) filed on February 28, 2017.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in “Part II – Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these significant accounting policies for the six month period ended June 30, 2017, except as noted below.

Whether control has been relinquished requires, among other things, an evaluation of relevant legal considerations and an assessment of the nature and extent of the Company’s continuing involvement with the assets transferred. Gains and losses resulting from transfers are included in “Other revenue” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Assets obtained and liabilities incurred in connection with transfers reported as sales are initially recognized in the balance sheet at fair value.

Transfers of financial assets that do not qualify for sale accounting are reported as secured borrowings. Accordingly, the related assets remain on the Company’s balance sheet and continue to be reported and accounted for as if the transfer had not occurred. Cash proceeds from these transfers are reported as liabilities, with related interest expense recognized over the life of the related transactions.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the fair value of acquired businesses in excess of the aggregate fair value of the identified net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or whenever indications of impairment exist. Impairment exists whenever the carrying value of a reporting unit with goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. Our annual impairment testing date is April 1. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-04, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The Company amended its accounting policy for goodwill and intangible assets accordingly.

The Company can elect to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit (generally defined as a component of a business for which financial information is available and reviewed regularly by management) exceeds its carrying value. A qualitative assessment may consider macroeconomic and other industry-specific factors, such as trends in short-term and long-term interest rates and the ability to access capital or company-specific factors, such as market capitalization in excess of net assets, trends in revenue generating activities and merger or acquisition activity.

If the Company does not qualitatively assess goodwill it compares a reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is established using an income approach based on a discounted cash flow model and a market approach, which compares the reporting unit to comparable companies in their respective industries.

Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives in a manner that best reflects their economic benefit, which may include straight-line or accelerated methods of amortization. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment quarterly and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company does not have indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent the noncontrolling holders’ share of income or losses, and share of total equity, from a consolidated subsidiary or consolidated variable interest entity in which the Company holds less than 100% ownership.

Legal Expenses

Legal fees are expensed as incurred and are included in other general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Insurance recoveries associated with the reimbursement of legal expenses incurred, if any, are included in other general and administrative expenses as a contra-expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Company adopted the following accounting standards during the six month period ended June 30, 2017:

ASU 2016-09 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09), simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the associated accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017, under the modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect of adoption recorded as a reclassification to 2017 beginning accumulated deficit. The Company also elected to present the change in presentation in the Statement of Cash Flows related to excess tax benefits prospectively and, therefore, prior period amounts have not been adjusted.

Under ASU 2016-09, the Company now recognizes the excess income tax benefits or deficiencies from stock-based compensation in the income tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and as an operating activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Additionally, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are now excluded from the calculation of assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method when computing fully diluted earnings per share. Upon the adoption of this standard, the Company recognized a $57.0 million deferred tax asset with a full valuation allowance (net zero impact upon adoption) in the consolidated balance sheets for the excess income tax benefits from stock-based compensation as of January 1, 2017.

The Company also elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur for equity awards with only a service condition, rather than estimate expected forfeitures, as permitted by ASU 2016-09. The Company recorded a $1.4 million reclassification to 2017 beginning accumulated deficit to remove the estimate of forfeitures as of January 1, 2017.

ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, a goodwill impairment loss is now measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have an effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2017.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Updates to the new accounting standards not yet adopted as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016 are as follows:

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which will be effective January 1, 2018. The guidance clarifies that revenue from contracts with customers should be recognized in a manner that depicts both the likelihood of payment and the timing of the related transfer of goods or performance of services. In March 2016, the FASB issued an amendment (ASU 2016-08) to the new revenue recognition guidance clarifying how to determine if an entity is a principal or agent in a transaction. In April (ASU 2016-10) and May (ASU 2016-12) of 2016, the FASB further amended the guidance to include performance obligation identification, licensing implementation, collectability assessment and other presentation and transition

clarifications. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as for ASU 2014-09. The Company plans to adopt the revenue recognition guidance beginning January 1, 2018 and currently anticipates using the modified retrospective method of adoption. However, the adoption method to be used is subject to completion of the Company’s impact assessment. Upon initial evaluation, the Company believes there will be no material changes to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for its current revenue streams in scope of Topic 606. Additionally, we believe there will be no material changes to the presentation of revenue as gross versus net, or to the amount of capitalized contract costs. The Company has dedicated internal resources, engaged a service provider, and continues to execute its project plan to evaluate the impacts of implementation, including impacts to its processes and internal controls. Because we do not believe there will be a material change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition, we do not expect there will be material changes to the Company’s processes and internal controls. However, that assessment currently is underway. The Company also will continue to evaluate new revenue streams and analyze other aspects of Topic 606 that may be relevant.

ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, (ASU 2017-09), clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under ASU 2017-09, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The guidance is effective prospectively for all companies for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this ASU to its consolidated financial statements.

Loan Servicing Rights

Loans underlying loan servicing rights had a total outstanding principal balance of $7.08 billion and $6.54 billion as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

6. Securitization of Personal Whole Loans

On June 22, 2017, the Company sponsored the securitization of unsecured personal whole loans with an unpaid principal balance of $336.6 million through an asset-backed securitization transaction. The loans were facilitated through the Company’s marketplace and originally sold to third-party whole loan investors. In connection with this securitization, the Company established a majority-owned affiliate (MOA) to hold the risk retention interest

(Unaudited)

required to be held by the sponsor of a securitization transaction. The MOA purchased the loans from the investors and simultaneously transferred them to a securitization trust with the transfer accounted for as a sale of financial assets.

The securitization trust issued senior securities and subordinated residual certificates to the MOA with an aggregate value of $350.7 million as consideration for the transferred loans. The MOA sold 95% of senior securities to third-party investors for $260.8 million in net cash proceeds and then distributed the cash and 95% of the subordinated residual certificates to the original whole loan investors. To comply with regulatory credit risk retention rules, the MOA retained 5% of each of the senior securities and the subordinated residual certificate. As of June 30, 2017, the fair value of the senior securities and subordinate residual certificates held by the MOA was $14.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively (See “Note 4. Securities Available for Sale”).

As of June 30, 2017, the Company owned 56% of the MOA, with the remaining 44% owned by unaffiliated investors that is reflected as noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The MOA is a variable interest entity in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the MOA in its financial statements. The securitization trust used to effect the transaction is a variable interest entity that the Company does not consolidate because it is not the primary beneficiary.

The net pre-tax gain on sale from this securitization transaction was $1.7 million, which is included in “Other revenue” in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company retained the loan servicing responsibilities for which it will receive servicing fees over the life of the underlying loans. The fair value of the servicing asset related to the loans originally sold to third-party whole loan investors was reduced by $1.1 million, which is included in “Investor fees” in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company also deposited a $6.7 million servicing reserve with the securitization trust, which is included in “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The Company and other investors in the subordinated residual certificates have rights to cash flows after the investors holding the securitization trust’s senior securities have first received their contractual cash flows. The investors and the securitization trust have no recourse to the Company’s assets, and holders of the securities issued by the securitization trust can look only to the assets of the securitization trust for payment. The beneficial interests held by the MOA are subject principally to the credit risk stemming from the underlying personal whole loans.

The senior securities and subordinate residual certificates are accounted for as securities available for sale. See “Note 4. Securities Available for Sale” and “Note 7. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities.” Also refer to “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report for further information regarding the Company’s accounting for securities available for sale and servicing assets.

Financial instruments are categorized in the valuation hierarchy based on the significance of unobservable factors in the overall fair value measurement. Since the Company’s loans and related notes and certificates, loans held for sale, loan servicing rights, asset-backed securities related to consolidated VIEs, and loan trailing fee liability do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs to measure the fair value of these assets and liabilities. These fair value estimates may also include observable, actively quoted components derived from external sources. As a result, changes in fair value for assets and liabilities within the Level 2 or Level 3 categories may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs. The Company did not transfer any assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 during the first half of2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016.

N/A Not applicable

⁽¹⁾   Expressed as a percentage of the original principal balance of the loan, note or certificate, except for asset-backed securities.

⁽²⁾   Includes collection fees estimated to be paid to a hypothetical third-party servicer.

⁽³⁾  For asset-backed securities, expressed as a percentage of the outstanding collateral balance.

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the discounted cash flow methodology used to estimate the note and certificates’ fair values used the same projected net cash flows as their related loans. As demonstrated by the following tables, the fair value adjustments for loans were largely offset by the fair value adjustments of the notes and certificates due to the payment dependent design of the notes and certificates and because the principal balances of the loans were close to the combined principal balances of the notes and certificates.

Significant Recurring Level 3 Fair Value Asset and Liability Input Sensitivity

Fair valuation adjustments are recorded through earnings related to Level 3 instruments for the second quarters and first halves of2017 and 2016. Generally, changes in the net cumulative expected loss rates, cumulative prepayment rates, and discount rates will have an immaterial net impact on the fair value of loans, notes and certificates, servicing assets and liabilities, and loan trailing fee liability.

Certain of these unobservable inputs may (in isolation) have either a directionally consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the financial instrument for a given change in that input. When multiple inputs are used within the

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

valuation techniques for loans, notes and certificates, servicing assets and liabilities, and loan trailing fee liability, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change from another input.

A specific loan that is projected to have larger future default losses than previously estimated has lower expected future cash flows over its remaining life, which reduces its estimated fair value. Conversely, a specific loan that is projected to have smaller future default losses than previously estimated has increased expected future cash flows over its remaining life, which increases its estimated fair value.

The Company’s selection of the most representative market servicing rates for servicing assets and servicing liabilities is inherently judgmental. The Company reviews third-party servicing rates for its loans, loans in similar credit sectors, and market servicing benchmarking analyses provided by third-party valuation firms, when available. The table below shows the impact on the estimated fair value of servicing assets and liabilities, calculated using different market servicing rate assumptions as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

	June 30, 2017						December 31, 2016
	Servicing Assets			Servicing Liabilities			Servicing Assets			Servicing Liabilities

12. Secured Borrowings

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company repurchased $22.3 million of near-prime loans from a single institutional investor that did not meet a non-credit, non-pricing requirement of the investor, of which $15.1 million were originally sold to the investor prior to March 31, 2016. As a result, these loans were accounted for as secured borrowings at March 31, 2016. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company resold the loans to a different investor at par. This subsequent transfer qualified for sale accounting treatment, and the loans were removed from the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and the secured borrowings liability was reduced to zero in the second quarter of 2016.

The Company capitalized $5.2 million and $4.0 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with developing software for internal use during the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for information on the adoption of ASU 2016-09.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company’s chief executive officer received performance-based restricted stock units (PBRSUs). PBRSUs are equity awards that may be earned based on achieving pre-established performance metrics over a specific performance period. Depending on the probability of achieving the pre-established performance targets, the PBRSUs issued could range from 0% to 200% of the target amount. PBRSUs granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans generally have a one-year performance period with one-half of the grant vesting in one-year following the completion of the performance period and the remaining one-half vesting in two-years following the completion of the performance period. Over the performance period, the number of PBRSUs that may be earned and the related stock-based compensation expense that is recognized is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probability of achieving the pre-established performance targets against the performance metrics.

14. Income Taxes

The Company continues to recognize a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. This determination was based on the assessment of the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets.

Total	$	114,312	$	500	$	113,812

Loan Purchase Obligation

Under the Company’s loan account program with WebBank, which serves as the Company’s primary issuing bank, WebBank retains ownership of the loans facilitated through LendingClub’s marketplace for two business days after origination. As part of this arrangement, the Company has committed to purchase the loans at par plus accrued interest, at the conclusion of the two business days. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company was committed to purchase loans with an outstanding principal balance of $69.0 million and $32.2 million at par, respectively.

Loan Repurchase Obligations

The Company has historically limited its loan or note repurchase obligations to events of verified identity theft or in connection with certain customer accommodations. In connection with securitizations, the Company has agreed to repurchase obligations that are customary and consistent with institutional loan and securitization market standards.

In addition to and distinct from the repurchase obligations described in the preceding paragraph, the Company performs certain administrative functions for a variety of retail and institutional investors, including executing, without discretion, loan investments as directed by the investor. To the extent loans do not meet the investor’s investment criteria at the time of issuance, or are transferred to the investor as a result of a system error by the Company, the Company is obligated to repurchase such loans at par. As a result of the loan repurchase obligations described above, the Company repurchased $1.1 million in loans during the first half of2017.

Purchase Commitments and Loan Funding

As required by applicable regulations, the Company is obligated to purchase loans resulting from direct marketing efforts if such loans are not otherwise invested in by investors on the platform. The Company was not required to purchase any such loans during the first half of2017. Additionally, loans in the process of being facilitated and originated by the Company’s issuing bank partner at June 30, 2017, were substantially funded in July 2017. As of the date of this report, no loans remained without investor commitments and the Company was not required to purchase any of these loans.

In addition, if neither Springstone nor the Company can arrange for other investors to invest in or purchase loans that Springstone facilitates and that are originated by an issuing bank partner but do not meet the credit criteria for

purchase by the issuing bank partner (Pool B loans), Springstone and the Company are contractually committed to purchase these loans. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had a $9.0 million deposit in a bank account to secure potential future purchases of these loans, if necessary. The funds are recorded as restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. During the first half of2017, the Company was required to purchase $9.1 million of Pool B loans. Pool B loans are held on the Company’s balance sheet and have an outstanding principal balance and fair value of $8.5 million and $8.3 million as of June 30, 2017, respectively. The Company believes it will be required to purchase additional Pool B loans in the second half of 2017 as it seeks to arrange for other investors to invest in or purchase these loans.

In addition to the purchase commitments discussed above, the Company also used its own capital to purchase $175.7 million in loans during the second quarter of 2017, of which approximately $120 million was used to support securitization partners and upcoming securitization initiatives and approximately $50 million was used to fund custom program loans. The Company purchased $189.4 million, in loans during the first half of2017. Additionally, as part of the Company’s sponsored securitization transaction during the second quarter of 2017, the MOA purchased $336.6 million in loans from investors and simultaneously transferred them to a securitization trust.

Credit Support Agreements

In connection with a significant platform purchase agreement, the Company is subject to a credit support agreement with a third-party whole loan investor that requires the Company to reimburse the investor for credit losses in excess of a specified percentage of the original principal balance of whole loans acquired by the investor during a 12-month period. During the first half of2017, the Company paid the investor $6.5 million under this agreement, which terminates in October 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has accrued approximately $3.0 million for future expected payments to the investor.

The Company is also subject to a credit support agreement with Cirrix Capital (Investment Fund). The credit support agreement requires the Company to pledge and restrict cash in support of its contingent obligation to reimburse the Investment Fund for net credit losses on loans underlying the Investment Fund’s certificates that are in excess of a specified, aggregate net loss threshold. On April 14, 2017, the credit support agreement was terminated effective December 31, 2016. However, the Company remains subject to the credit support agreement for credit losses on loans underlying the Investment Fund’s certificates that were issued on or prior to December 31, 2016. The Company pledged and restricted $2.6 million and $3.4 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, to support this contingent obligation. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss under this credit support agreement was limited to $6.0 million as of June 30, 2017.

Legal

Securities Class Actions. During the year ended December 31, 2016, several putative class action lawsuits alleging violations of federal securities laws were filed in California Superior Court, naming as defendants the Company,

30

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted)

(Unaudited)

current and former directors, certain officers, and the underwriters in the December 2014 initial public offering (the IPO). All of these actions were consolidated into a single action (Consolidated State Court Action), entitled In re LendingClub Corporation Shareholder Litigation, No. CIV537300. In August 2016, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint alleging violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) based on allegedly false and misleading statements in the IPO registration statement and prospectus. The Company filed a demurrer requesting the Court dismiss certain of the claims alleged in the amended complaint, which was granted in part in the fourth quarter of 2016. The plaintiffs then filed a Second Amended Consolidated Complaint which the Company responded to with a new demurrer seeking to dismiss certain claims. The Court granted in part and denied in part this new demurrer. The Plaintiffs then amended their complaint again in light to comply with this Order, setting the operative complaint. In early April 2017 the plaintiffs filed their motion for class certification, which the Company opposed. The motion was granted in part in a June 2017 Order. Discovery is continuing. The Company believes that the plaintiffs’ allegations are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

In May 2016, two related putative securities class actions (entitled Evellard v. LendingClub Corporation, et al., No. 16-CV-2627-WHA, and Wertz v. LendingClub Corporation, et al., No. 16-CV-2670-WHA) were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, naming as defendants the Company and certain of its officers and directors. In mid-August 2016, the two actions were consolidated into a single action. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint filed in the fourth quarter of 2016. The Court held a hearing on this motion in the first quarter of 2017 and ultimately granted in part and denied in part the motion. The plaintiffs thereafter amended their complaint consistent with the Order and the parties have now begun discovery. The Court has set a schedule which includes a mediation in September 2017, a hearing for motion for class certification for October 2017, and trial for September 2018. The Company believes that the plaintiffs’ allegations are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

Derivative Lawsuits. In May 2016 and August 2016, respectively, two putative shareholder derivative actions were filed (Avila v. Laplanche, et al., No. CIV538758 and Dua v. Laplanche, et al., CGC-16-553731) against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors and naming the Company as a nominal defendant. Both actions were voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. On December 14, 2016, a new putative shareholder derivative action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery (Steinberg, et al. v. Morris, et al., C.A. No. 12984-CB), against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors and naming the Company as a nominal defendant. The action is based on allegations similar to those in the securities class action litigation described above. The defendants are moving to stay this matter in light of the other pending proceedings.

Federal Consumer Class Action. In April 2016, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in federal court in New York (Bethune v. LendingClub Corporation et al. (16 Civ. 2778)(NRB)), alleging that persons received loans, through the Company’s platform, that exceeded states’ usury limits in violation of state usury and consumer protection laws, and the federal RICO statute. The Company filed a motion to compel arbitration on an individual basis, which was granted in February 2017. The plaintiff has now filed an arbitration demand seeking relief on an individual basis. The Company believes that the plaintiff’s allegations are without merit, and intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On May 9, 2016, following the announcement of the internal board review described more fully in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations – Board Review” contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (referenced to herein as the “internal board review”), the Company received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The Company also received formal requests for information from the SEC and Federal Trade Commission (FTC).The Company continues cooperating with the DOJ, SEC, FTC and any other governmental or regulatory authorities or agencies. No assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of these matters.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to, and may continue to be subject to legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business, including inquiries by state regulatory bodies related to the Company’s marketplace lending model. These include inquiries from the California Department of Business Oversight, Colorado Department of Law, New York Department of Financial Services, and West Virginia Attorney General’s office. No assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome.

16. Segment Reporting

The Company defines operating segments to be components of the Company for which discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the Company’s executive management committee as chief operating decision maker (CODM). For purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance, the Company’s CODM reviews financial information by the product types of personal loans, and education and patient finance loans. These product types are aggregated and viewed as one operating segment, and therefore, one reportable segment because the small business, auto, and education and patient finance operating segments are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated in the United States. No individual borrower or investor accounted for 10% or more of consolidated net revenue for any of the periods presented.

17. Related Party Transactions

Related party transactions must be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors when not conducted in the ordinary course of business subject to the standard terms of the Company’s online marketplace or certificate investment program. Related party transactions may include any transaction between entities under common control or with a related person occurring since the beginning of the Company’s latest fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction. This review also includes any material amendment or modification to an existing related party transaction. The Company has defined related persons as members of the board of directors, executive officers, principal owners of the Company’s outstanding stock and any immediate family members of each such related persons, as well as any other person or entity with significant influence over the Company’s management or operations.

Several of the Company’s executive officers and directors (including immediate family members) have made deposits and withdrawals to their investor accounts and purchased loans, notes and certificates or have investments in private funds managed by LCA. The Company believes all such transactions by related persons were made in the ordinary course of business and were transacted on terms and conditions that were not more favorable than those obtained by similarly situated third-party investors.

On April 1, 2016, the Company closed its $10.0 million investment, for an approximate ownership interest of 15% in the Investment Fund, a holding company that participates in a family of funds with other unrelated third parties and purchases whole loans and interests in loans from the Company. As of June 30, 2017, the Company and a board member had an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 27% in the Investment Fund.

During the first half of2017, this family of funds purchased $49.4 million of whole loans and interests in whole loans. During the first half of2017, the Company earned $496 thousand in investor fees from this family of funds, and paid interest of $4.3 million on interests in whole loans to the family of funds. The Company believes that the sales of whole loans and interests in whole loans, and the investor fees charged were on terms and conditions that were not more favorable than those obtained by other third-party investors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Report). In addition to historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report, particularly in “Part II – Other Information – Item 1A – Risk Factors” in this Report and “Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (Annual Report). The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof.

Overview

LendingClub operates America’s largest online marketplace lending platform that connects borrowers and investors. We believe a technology-powered marketplace is a more efficient mechanism to allocate capital between borrowers and investors than the traditional banking system. Qualified consumers and small business owners borrow through LendingClub to lower the cost of their credit and enjoy a better experience than that provided by traditional banks.

Investors use LendingClub to earn solid risk-adjusted returns from an asset class that has generally been closed to many investors and only available on a limited basis to institutional investors. The capital to invest in the loans enabled through our marketplace comes directly from a wide range of investors, including retail investors, high-net-worth individuals and family offices, banks and finance companies, insurance companies, hedge funds, foundations, pension plans and university endowments, and through a variety of investment channels.

As a general matter, loans that are facilitated through our marketplace are funded by the issuance of Notes to our retail investors and the issuance of certificates or whole loan sales to institutional investors without the use of the Company’s capital. However, to expand the Company’s investor base, the Company has recently developed capabilities to support securitization of loans. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company used its own capital to purchase loans to leverage this newly developed securitization capability and sponsored its first securitization. We intend to use more of our capital to purchase loans for future securitizations or loan sales. We also use our own capital to fulfill contractual purchase obligations for loans funded without a matched third-party investor, from time to time. Additionally, we may use our own capital to invest in loans to fulfill regulatory obligations, support short-term marketplace equilibrium, offer customer accommodations, or to test and establish a track record of performance for new or alternative loan terms, programs, or channels.

We generate revenue primarily from transaction fees from our marketplace’s role in accepting and decisioning applications for our bank partners to enable loan originations, investor fees that include servicing fees from investors for various services, including servicing and collection efforts and matching available loan assets with capital and management fees from investment funds and other managed accounts, and interest income earned from loans held on our balance sheet to support future sponsored securitization transactions.

The transaction fees we receive from issuing banks in connection with our marketplace’s role in facilitating loan originations range from 1% to 7% of the initial principal amount of the loan. In addition, for education and patient finance loans, we also collect fees earned from issuing banks and service providers. Investor fees paid to us vary based on investment channel. Note investors generally pay us a fee equal to 1% of payment amounts received from the borrower. Whole loan purchasers pay a monthly fee of up to 1.3% per annum, which is generally based on the month-end principal balance of loans serviced. Certificate holders generally pay a monthly fee of up to 1.5% per annum of the month-end balance of assets under management or the month-end balance of unpaid principal of the underlying Certificate.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)

Since beginning operations in 2007, our marketplace has facilitated $28.8 billion in loan originations. These loans were facilitated through the following investment channels: (i) the issuance of member payment dependent notes, (ii) the sale of trust certificates, or (iii) the sale of whole loans directly to qualified investors or through an asset-backed securitization transaction. Since our inception $5.1 billion of our loan originations were invested in through member payment dependent notes, $7.4 billion were invested in through trust certificates and $16.3 billion were invested in through whole loan sales. In the second quarter of 2017, our marketplace facilitated $2.15 billion of loan originations, of which approximately $270 million were invested in through member payment dependent notes, $200 million were invested in through trust certificates and $1.68 billion were invested in through whole loan sales. See “Item 1A – Risk Factors – A decline in economic conditions may adversely affect our customers, which may negatively impact our business and results of operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Current Economic and Business Environment

LendingClub monitors a variety of economic, credit and competitive indicators in connection with operating its online marketplace lending platform.

Our approach to risk-management is a data-driven, continuous and proactive process that runs against a constantly shifting set of conditions. Our online marketplace lending platform seeks to adapt to changing market conditions, including by leveraging market and loan performance data to propose changes to underwriting or pricing models for the related issuing bank’s approval.

During the first half of 2016, we began to observe pockets of underperformance in higher risk segments. This trend was subsequently observed across all loan grades in the third quarter of 2016, although it was less notable in lower risk grades and more notable in higher risk grades, particularly grades E, F and G. We responded to these observations by implementing changes to optimize the credit model several times in 2016, and again in January and May of 2017. While we have observed stable credit performance more recently, we will continue to monitor credit performance on new vintages as data becomes available and any impact from the broader macroeconomic environment. This information will assist us in assessing if and when to implement further changes to the credit model or interest rates. We have also invested in our multifaceted collections capabilities to further mitigate risk to our existing loan portfolio, including adding new recovery strategies, and augmenting collections team capacity.

In addition, we continue to actively explore ways to diversify our investor base and obtain additional investment capital for the platform loans. This could include the strategic use of our balance sheet to access new investors, monetize excess demand for loans, or support capital market transactions to provide liquidity to our existing investors.

Factors That Can Affect Revenue

As a marketplace, we work toward matching supply and demand while also growing the overall volume of originations and correspondingly revenue at a pace commensurate with proper planning, compliance, risk management, user experience, and operational controls that work to optimize the quality of the customer experience, customer satisfaction and long term growth. In addition, as the business grows, we utilize our balance sheet to hold loans in certain contexts, including testing of terms and conditions, repurchasing loans that did not meet an investor’s criteria, or in preparation for sponsored securitizations. In some instances, we may subsequently sell those loans, recognizing a gain or loss on their sale.

The interplay of the volume, timing and quality of loan applications, investment appetite, the impact of our holding certain loans on balance sheet, investor confidence in our data, controls and processes and available investment

35

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

capital from investors, platform loan processing and originations, and the subsequent performance of loans, which directly impacts our servicing fees, can affect our revenue in any particular period. These drivers collectively result in transaction or investor fees earned by us related to these transactions, interest income and other revenue related to loans held on balance sheet, and their future performance. As these drivers can be affected by a variety of factors, both in and out of our control, revenues may fluctuate from period to period. Factors that can affect these drivers and ultimately revenue and its timing include:

• market confidence in our data, controls, and processes,

• announcements of governmental inquiries or private litigation,

• the mix of borrower products and corresponding transaction fees,

• availability or the timing of the deployment of investment capital by investors,

• the availability and amount of new capital from pooled investment vehicles and managed accounts that typically deploy their capital at the start of a period,

• the amount of purchase limitations we can impose on larger investors as a way to maintain investor balance and fairness,

• the attractiveness of alternative opportunities for borrowers or investors,

• the responsiveness of applicants to our marketing efforts,

• expenditures on marketing initiatives in a period,

• the sufficiency of operational staff to process any manual portion of the loan applications in a timely manner,

• the responsiveness of borrowers to satisfy additional income or employment verification requirements related to their application,

• borrower withdrawal rates,

• the percentage distribution of loans between the whole and fractional loan platforms,

• platform system performance,

• seasonality in demand for our platform and services, which is generally lower in the first and fourth quarters,

• determination to hold loans for purposes of subsequently distributing the loans through sale or securitization;

• changes in the credit performance of our loans or market interest rates,

• and other factors.

At any point in time we have loan applications in various stages from initial application through issuance, as well as loans held on our balance sheet. Depending upon the timing and impact of the factors described above, loans may not be issued by our issuing bank in the same period in which the corresponding application was originally made resulting in a portion of that subsequent period’s revenue being earned from loan applications that were initiated in the immediately prior period. Loans may also be held on balance sheet before being subsequently sold. Consistent with our revenue recognition accounting policy under GAAP, we do not recognize the associated transaction fee revenue with a loan until the loan is issued by our issuing banks and the proceeds are delivered to the borrower. Our transaction fees are generally paid by the issuing bank, or in the case of patient finance loans, by the participating medical service provider, and are accordingly independent of who is investing in a loan or how a loan is invested in.

Loan Originations

We believe originations are a key indicator of the adoption rate of our marketplace, growth of our brand, scale of our business, strength of our network effect, economic competitiveness of our products and future growth. Factors that could affect loan originations include investor confidence in our platform and internal processes, the amount of our capital available to invest in loans, interest rate and economic environment; the competitiveness of our products, primarily based on our platform’s rates and fees; the success of our operational efforts to balance investor and borrower demand; any limitations on the ability or willingness of our issuing banks to originate loans; our ability to develop new products or enhance existing products for borrowers and investors; the success of our sales and marketing initiatives and the success of borrower and investor acquisition and retention.

The analysis below is presented for the following periods: Second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 (Quarter Over Quarter), second quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2017 (Sequential), and the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016 (Six Months Over Six Months).

Transaction Fees

Transaction fees are fees paid by issuing banks or education and patient service providers to us for the work we perform through our marketplace’s role in facilitating loans for our issuing bank partners. The amount of these fees is based upon the terms of the loan, including grade, rate, term and other factors. As of June 30, 2017, these fees ranged from 1% to 7% of the initial principal amount of a loan. In addition, for education and patient finance loans, we also collect fees earned from issuing banks and service providers. We record transaction fee revenue net of program fees paid to WebBank, our primary issuing bank partner.

In July 2017, we recognized approximately $9.1 million in transaction fee revenue associated with the issuance of loans in which the loan application process had commenced prior to the end of the second quarter of 2017. In

July 2016, we recognized approximately $6.4 million in transaction fee revenue associated with the issuance of loans in which the loan application process had commenced prior to the end of the second quarter of 2016.

Quarter Over Quarter: Transaction fees were $107.3 million and $96.6 million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 11%. The increase was due to higher origination volume and higher average transaction fees in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016. The average transaction fee as a percentage of the initial principal balance of the loan was 5.0% and 4.9% for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Sequential: Transaction fees were $107.3 million and $98.7 million for the second and first quarters of 2017, respectively, an increase of 9%. The increase was primarily due to higher origination volume in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2017.

Six Months Over Six Months: Transaction fees were $206.0 million and $221.1 million for the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of 7%. The decrease was due to lower origination volume, partially offset by higher average transaction fees in the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016. The average transaction fee as a percentage of the initial principal balance of the loan was 5.0% and 4.7% for the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively. In March 2016, we increased the transaction fee that we earn from our primary issuing bank partner for certain prime and near-prime C through G graded loans from 5% to 6%, B graded loans from 4% to 5%, and A graded loans by approximately 1% at each subgrade level for grades A2 to A5.

For each investment channel, the Company receives fees to compensate us for the costs we incur in servicing the related loan, including managing payments from borrowers, collections, payments to investors, maintaining investors’ account portfolios, and providing information and issuing monthly statements. Additionally, the investor fees earned from the Funds and separately managed accounts compensate us for the management and advisory services we provide related to the investment portfolios of these investors. The amount of investor fee revenue earned is predominantly affected by the various servicing rates paid by whole loan, note, and self-directed investors, the outstanding principal balance of whole loans and loans underlying notes and certificates serviced, and the amount of principal and interest collected from borrowers and remitted to whole loan, note, self-directed, and certain certificate investors.

Investor fee revenue related to whole loans sold also includes the change in fair value of our servicing assets and liabilities associated with the loans. Servicing rights are recorded as either an asset or liability depending on the degree to which the contractual loan servicing fee is above or below, respectively, an estimated market rate loan servicing fee. The change in fair value of servicing rights does not affect the contractual fees that we collect monthly from the whole loan investors.

Investor Fees – whole loans sold:Investor fee revenue related to the servicing of whole loans sold was $12.2 million and $6.7 million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 82%. The increase in revenue was due to a higher balance of whole loans serviced and increase in collection fees in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016. Investor fee revenue related to the servicing of whole loans sold was $12.2 million for both the second and first quarters of 2017, respectively.

Investor fee revenue related to the servicing of whole loans sold was $24.4 million and $18.5 million for the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 32%. The increase in revenue was due to a higher balance of whole loans serviced and increase in collection fees in the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016, partially offset by a change in the fair value of servicing rights.

Investor fees – notes, certificates, and self-directed: Investor fee revenue related to the servicing of underlying notes, certificates, and self-directed accounts was $7.8 million and $6.3 million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 24%. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in the principal and interest payments processed on notes, increase in collection fees and an increase in self-directed fees in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016. Investor fee revenue related to the servicing of loans underlying notes, certificates, and self-directed accounts was $7.8 million for both the second and first quarters of 2017.

Investor fee revenue related to the servicing of underlying notes, certificates, and self-directed accounts was $15.6 million and $12.8 million for the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 22%. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in the principal and interest payments processed on notes, increase in collection fees and an increase in self-directed fees in the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016.

Investor fees – Funds and separately managed accounts: Investor fee revenue related to the Funds and separately managed accounts was $1.1 million and $1.7 million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of 33%. This decrease was primarily due to a 40% decrease in the average assets underlying these investment channels. Investor fee revenue related to the Funds and separately managed accounts of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2017 remained relatively flat compared to investor fee revenue of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2017. We currently anticipate that the assets under management associated with the Funds will continue to decrease as a result of a significant amount of redemption requests outstanding. This potential reduction will negatively affect investor fee revenue related to the Funds. Additionally, in July 2016, certain of the Funds ceased accepting contributions and limited redemption requests pursuant to the terms of the respective limited partnership agreements.

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)

Investor fee revenue related to the Funds and separately managed accounts was $2.3 million and $3.8 million in the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of 41%. This decrease was primarily due to a 38% decrease in the average assets underlying these investment channels as a result of the redemption requests and contribution gate discussed above.

Other Revenue (Expense)

Other revenue (expense) generally consists of gains and losses on sales of whole loans and sponsored securitization transactions, fair value adjustments on loans, notes and certificates, and referral revenue. In connection with whole loan sales, in addition to investor fees earned with respect to the corresponding loan, we recognize a gain or loss on the sale of that loan based on the degree to which the contractual loan servicing fee is above or below an estimated market rate loan servicing fee. Referral revenue consists of fees earned from third-party companies when customers referred by us complete specified actions with such third-party companies.

As we expand the use of the Company’s own capital to invest in loans for strategic business purposes, such as securitization transactions, we expect the net negative fair value adjustments on loans to increase, as such loans’ fair value adjustments will not be offset by fair value adjustments on notes or certificates. The Company expects fair value adjustments to be offset by the interest income earned from holding such loans.

Quarter Over Quarter: Other revenue (expense) was $4.2 million and $(9.9) million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase was due to an increase in the gain on sale of loans primarily resulting from $14.0 million of sales incentives provided to whole loan investors that reduced the gain on sale in the second quarter of 2016, a higher volume of loans sold and, to a lesser extent, change in investor mix in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016. This increase was partially offset by a reimbursement to a whole loan investor pursuant to a credit support agreement in the second quarter of 2017. No such sales incentives were offered in the second quarter of 2017.

Sequential: Other revenue (expense) was $4.2 million and $2.2 million for the second and first quarters of 2017, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase on the gain on sales of loans related to a sponsored securitization transaction.

Six Months Over Six Months: Other revenue (expense) was $6.4 million and $(3.8) million for the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase was due to an increase in the gain on sale of loans primarily resulting from $14.0 million of sales incentives provided to whole loan investors that reduced the gain on sale in the second quarter of 2016, a higher volume of loans sold and, to a lesser extent, change in investor mix in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016. The increase was partially offset by a reimbursement to a whole loan investor pursuant to a credit support agreement in the first half of 2017, as described above, and an increase in the net fair value adjustment on loans, notes and certificates in the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016. No such sales incentives were offered in the first half of 2017.

Net Interest Income (Expense)

We do not assume principal or interest rate risk on loans facilitated through our marketplace that are funded by notes and certificates because loan balances, interest rates and maturities are matched and offset by an equal balance of notes or certificates with the exact same interest rates and maturities. The interest expense related to the notes and certificates is completely offset with interest income on the associated loans on our statement of operations. Interest income on loans not funded by a note or certificate is recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations without corresponding interest expense. We expect net interest income to increase as we expand the use our capital for strategic business purposes, such as investing in and holding loans on balance sheet for future sponsored securitization transactions.

Interest expense for notes and certificates was $150.3 million and $177.6 million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in the average outstanding balances of notes and certificates, driven by a larger portion of current quarter loans originated being sold to whole loan investors.

Net interest income was $6.9 million and $2.1 million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to the increase in the average outstanding balances of loans held on the Company’s balance sheet during the second quarter of 2017 to support securitization partners and upcoming securitization transactions. Such loans did not have a corresponding note or certificate on the Company’s balance sheet.

Sequential: Interest income from loans and loans held for sale was $155.5 million and $159.5 million for the second and first quarters of 2017, respectively.

Origination and Servicing: Origination and servicing expense consists of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense and vendor costs attributable to activities that most directly relate to originating and servicing loans for borrowers and investors. These costs relate to the credit, collections, customer support and payment processing teams and related vendors.

Engineering and Product Development: Engineering and product development expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for engineering and product management teams, and the cost of contractors who work on the development and maintenance of our platform. Engineering and product development expense also includes non-capitalized hardware and software costs and depreciation and amortization of technology assets.

Other General and Administrative: Other general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for our accounting, finance, legal, risk, compliance, human resources and facilities teams, professional services fees and facilities expense.

After announcing the findings of the internal board review, and the significant decrease in the trading price of our common stock in May 2016, we offered incentive retention awards to certain members of the executive management team and other key personnel that totaled $34.9 million that were recognized as compensation expense ratably through May 2017. In addition, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant legal and other expenses in connection with the inquiries and private litigation that have arisen and may continue to arise from the internal board review, and our response to ongoing governmental requests for information.

Sales and marketing: Sales and marketing expense was $55.6 million and $49.7 million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 12%. The increase was primarily due to a $9.2 million increase in

variable marketing expenses, partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease due to a non-recurring advisory fee in the second quarter of 2016. Sales and marketing expense as a percent of loan originations was 2.6% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 2.5% in the second quarter of 2016. A portion of this increase is attributable to the fact that credit policies were tightened in 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, resulting in an increase of applications that were declined, thus increasing the cost per acquisition of a new borrower. We expect sales and marketing expense as a percent of loan originations to flatten toward the end of 2017.

On a sequential basis, sales and marketing expense was $55.6 million and $54.6 million for the second and first quarters of 2017, respectively, an increase of 2%. As a percent of originations, sales and marketing expense was 2.6% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 2.8% in the first quarter of 2017.

Sales and marketing expense was $110.2 million and $116.3 million for the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of 5%. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.3 million decrease in variable marketing expenses and a $2.8 million decrease due to a non-recurring advisory fee in the first half of 2016. Sales and marketing expense as a percent of loan originations was 2.7% in the first half of 2017 compared to 2.5% in the first half of 2016.

Origination and servicing: Origination and servicing expense remained relatively flat at $21.3 million and $20.9 million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

On a sequential basis, origination and servicing expense was $21.3 million and $20.4 million for the second and first quarters of 2017, respectively, an increase of 4%. The increase was primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in loan processing costs driven by higher loan originations and a $0.2 million increase in personnel-related expenses associated with higher headcount levels.

Origination and servicing expense was $41.7 million and $40.1 million for the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 4%. The increase was primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in personnel-related expenses associated with higher headcount levels, partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in loan processing costs.

Engineering and product development: Engineering and product development expense was $35.7 million and $29.2 million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 22%. The increase was primarily driven by continued investment in technology and platform improvements that are focused on enhancing our credit decisioning capabilities, internal testing environment and cloud infrastructure, which included a $1.8 million increase in personnel-related expenses resulting from increased headcount, salaries and retention costs, and a $4.3 million increase in equipment, software and depreciation expense.

We capitalized $12.5 million and $10.4 million in software development costs in the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

On a sequential basis, engineering and product development expense remained relatively flat at $35.7 million and $35.8 million for the second and first quarters of 2017, respectively.

Engineering and product development expense was $71.5 million and $53.4 million for the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 34%. The increase was primarily driven by a $8.9 million increase in personnel-related expenses resulting from increased headcount, salaries and retention costs, and an $8.6 million increase in equipment, software and depreciation expense.

We capitalized $23.9 million and $20.1 million in software development costs in the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively.

Other general and administrative expense: Other general and administrative expense was $52.5 million and $53.5 million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of 2%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $5.2 million in professional services related to legal, audit, communications, and advisory fees and a $2.4 million insurance reimbursement for certain legal expenses incurred as a result of the Company’s board review and related governmental and regulatory inquiries. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $5.6 million in salaries and stock-based compensation expense related to increased headcount, salaries of newly hired executives as we invested in infrastructure and support teams, and retention costs, and a $1.0 million increase in facilities expense.

On a sequential basis, other general and administrative expense was $52.5 million and $43.6 million for the second and first quarters of 2017, respectively, an increase of 20%. The increase was primarily driven by a $6.9 million increase in professional services related to legal, audit, communications, and advisory fees, and a $2.9 million increase in salaries and stock-based compensation expense related to increased headcount, salaries of newly hired executives, and retention costs. Legal expense in the second and first quarters of 2017 were offset by $2.4 million and $9.6 million of insurance reimbursements for certain legal expenses, as discussed above.

Other general and administrative expense was $96.1 million and $91.5 million for the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 5%. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $10.0 million in salaries and stock-based compensation expense, $2.4 million in facilities expense, and $2.4 million in professional services related to legal, audit, communications, and advisory fees. These increases were offset by $12.0 million of insurance reimbursements in the first half of 2017 for certain legal expenses, as discussed above.

Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill impairment consists of a charge for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the fair value of the education and patient finance reporting unit.

In the second quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $35.4 million as related to the education and patient finance reporting unit. There were no goodwill charges in the second quarter or first half of 2017. See “Part I – Financial Information – Item 1 – Financial Statements – Note 10. Intangible Assets and Goodwill” for a further description of this impairment.

Income Taxes

We continued to recognize a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. This determination was based on the assessment of the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating our operating results. We believe that contribution, contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and investor fees before changes in fair value of servicing assets and servicing liabilities help identify trends in our core business results and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by our management in its decision making.

Our non-GAAP measures of contribution, contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and investor fees before changes in fair value of assets and liabilities have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as substitutes for, or superior to, net income (loss) as prepared in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating these non-GAAP measures, you should be

50

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)

aware that in the future we will incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their most directly comparable GAAP measures, which include the following:

• Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure.

• These measures do not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation.

• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements.

• Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.

Contribution and Contribution Margin

Contribution is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net revenue less “sales and marketing” and “origination and servicing” expenses on the Company’s Statement of Operations, adjusted to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expense within these captions. These costs represent the costs that are most directly related to generating such revenue. Contribution Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing Contribution by total net revenue.

Contribution and Contribution Margin are measures of overall direct product profitability that our management and board of directors find useful, and believe investors may find useful, in understanding the relationship between costs most directly associated with revenue generating activities and the related revenue, and remaining amount available to support our costs of engineering and product development and other general and administrative expense to evaluate our operating performance and trends. While we believe Contribution and Contribution Margin are useful for the reasons above, they are not an overall measure of our profitability, as they exclude engineering and product development and other general and administrative expenses that are required to run our business. Factors that affect our Contribution and Contribution Margin include revenue mix, variable marketing expenses and origination and servicing expenses.

The following table shows the calculation of contribution and contribution margin:

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income (loss) before (1) depreciation and amortization expense, (2) stock-based compensation expense, (3) income tax (benefit) expense, (4) acquisition related expenses, and (5) other non-recurring expenses, if any, including goodwill impairments. Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by total net revenue.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and our board to evaluate and compare our core operating results, including our return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period by removing the impact of asset base (depreciation and amortization), other non-operating, and share-based compensation, tax consequences, and our capital structure (interest expense from any outstanding debt). Additionally, we utilize Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure as an input into the Company’s calculation of the annual bonus plan. In addition to its use by management, Adjusted EBITDA is a measure widely used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the financial performance of our company and other companies in our industry as well as in the broader financial services and technology industries.

Investor Fees Before Changes in Fair Value of Servicing Assets and Liabilities

Investor fee revenue, excluding fair market value accounting adjustments, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as investor fees less the change in fair value of servicing assets and liabilities. We account for servicing assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through earnings in the period of change. We believe this is a useful non-GAAP financial measure because it reflects the amount of fees actually collected. We

believe that the fair value adjustments to the servicing assets and liabilities is less useful in particular because the Company does not trade or transfer such servicing assets or liabilities.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, no single investor accounted for more than 15% of the loans invested in through our marketplace. In addition to these investors, private funds associated with LCA and publicly issued member payment dependent notes accounted for approximately 2% and 17%, respectively, of investment capital provided through our marketplace during the period.

Effectiveness of Scoring Models

Our ability to attract borrowers and investors to our marketplace is significantly dependent on our platform’s ability to effectively evaluate a borrower’s credit profile and likelihood of default.

Our marketplace platform’s credit decisioning and scoring models are evaluated on a regular basis and the additional data on loan history experience, borrower behavior, economic factors and prepayment trends that we accumulate are leveraged to continually improve the models. We believe we have a history of effectively evaluating borrower’s credit worthiness and likelihood of defaults, as evidenced by the performance of various loan vintages facilitated through our marketplace. If our marketplace’s credit decisioning and scoring models ultimately prove to be ineffective, or fail to appropriately account for a decline in the macroeconomic environment, investors may experience higher than expected losses and lose confidence in our business. The following charts display the historical lifetime cumulative net charge-off rates (expressed as a percent of original loan balances) through June 30, 2017, by booking year, for all grades and 36 or 60 month terms of standard program loans for each of the years shown:

Loan Portfolio Information and Credit Metrics

We classify the loans held on our balance sheet into three major loan products: standard program personal loans, custom program personal loans and other loans. The majority of the loans facilitated on our platform and retained on the balance sheet are standard program personal loans which represent loans made to prime borrowers that are publicly available to note investors and through certificates to private investors. Custom program personal loans include all other personal loans that are not eligible for our standard program and are available only to private investors. Other loans is comprised of education and patient finance loans, small business loans, small business lines of credit, and auto refinance loans. The loans held on our balance sheet are financed by notes issued by us, certificates issued by the Trust, or loans invested in directly by us.

Fair Value and Delinquencies

The outstanding principal balance, fair value and percentage of these loans that are delinquent, by loan product, are as follows:

	June 30, 2017						December 31, 2016
(in millions, except percentages)	Outstanding Principal Balance		Fair Value (2)		Delinquent Loans (2)		Outstanding Principal Balance		Fair Value (2)		Delinquent Loans (2)

Declines in the fair value of loans from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017 were primarily due to increases in the yields required by investors to purchase our loans, notes and certificates, and an increase in expected credit losses.

Net Annualized Charge-Off Rates

The following tables show annualized net charge-off rates, which is an alternative measure of the performance of the loans held in our portfolio from the graphs above. Net cumulative lifetime charge-off rates used above show total charge-offs as a function of original principal balance, while these tables show the annualized net charge-off rates that reflect the charged-off balance of loans in a specific period as a percentage of the average outstanding balance of the loans during the periods presented.

Net annualized charge-off rates are affected by the average age of the loans in the portfolio for a given quarter and the credit performance of the loans. We generally expect charge-off rates to increase with loan age, as new loans generally have fewer credit losses than seasoned loans. Annualized charge-off rates can also be affected by changes in the credit performance of loans that are outstanding for a given quarter. Additionally, in any particular quarter the portfolios include loans from past vintages that were originated under prior credit underwriting parameters, and thus do not reflect the current credit underwriting models used to originate new loans.

The annualized net charge-off rates for personal loans for both standard and custom programs in total for the last five quarters are as follows:

Total Platform (1)	June 30,   2017		March 31,   2017		December 31,   2016		September 30,   2016		June 30,   2016
Personal Loans - Standard Program:
Annualized net charge-off rate	8.1	%	8.5	%	8.0	%	6.1	%	4.9	%
Weighted average age in months	12.9		12.5		12.0		11.3		10.3
Personal Loans - Custom Program:
Annualized net charge-off rate	14.1	%	15.7	%	14.6	%	11.0	%	8.6	%
Weighted average age in months	10.5		10.5		9.8		9.1		8.4

Loans retained on balance sheet	June 30,   2017		March 31,   2017		December 31,   2016		September 30,   2016		June 30,   2016
Personal Loans - Standard Program:
Annualized net charge-off rate	10.2	%	10.9	%	10.4	%	8.2	%	6.5	%
Weighted average age in months	14.9		14.2		13.5		12.9		12.1
Personal Loans - Custom Program:
Annualized net charge-off rate	15.5	%	19.6	%	19.1	%	14.0	%	8.2	%
Weighted average age in months	15.7		14.3		12.4		10.9		8.4

⁽¹⁾ Total platform comprises all loans facilitated through the marketplace, including whole loans sold and loans financed by notes and certificates.

The decrease in the annualized net charge-off rates in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2017 reflects the effect of lower observed actual charge-offs, offset by the impact of an increase in the weighted average age of the loans. In the second quarter of 2017, we observed lower delinquencies and charge-offs in both the standard and custom personal loans programs. These declines were driven by a decrease in the annualized net

57

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)

charge-off rate in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2017, as well as an increase in recovery rates for charged-off loans in the second quarter of 2017. These changes were a result of a combination of factors:

• The effect of credit tightening implemented in 2016 and early 2017. As the newer vintages are beginning to season we are seeing improved loss performance vintage-over-vintage as a result of the tighter credit criteria.

• The benefits from investments made in servicing of delinquent loans, including increased staffing and improved technology infrastructure.

• An increase in recovery rates as sales prices of charged-off debt have trended back up.

We generally expect charge-off rates to increase with loan age, as new loans generally have fewer credit losses than seasoned loans. However, net annualized charge-off rates declined in the second quarter of 2017 despite an increase in the average age of the loans. Prior to 2016, our loan portfolios grew significantly as the volume of loans facilitated increased. As a result, the average age of the portfolio, and with it the average charge-off rate, stayed low during this prior period. In 2016, loan originations grew at a slower rate, causing the average loan age to increase resulting in an increase in the aggregate annualized charge-off rate. See “Current Economic and Business Environment” for further discussion regarding how we responded to these observations and credit performance by implementing changes to the credit model, increasing interest rates and supplementing collections efforts.

The annualized net charge-off rates for standard program loans are higher for loans retained on our balance sheet compared to loans reflected at the total platform level for each quarter because of a difference in grade distribution for the two portfolios. The proportion of grade A and B loans is approximately 30% of the retained loan portfolio compared to approximately 41% for the total platform level as of June 30, 2017. This difference in loan grade distribution results in higher net charge-off rates for the loans on the balance sheet, as grade A and B loans have lower expected and actual credit losses.

Regulatory Environment

As a result of the internal board review and resignation of our former CEO, we have received inquiries from governmental entities, and we continue to cooperate fully with such governmental entities. Responding to inquiries of this nature are costly and time consuming, can generate negative publicity, and could have a material and adverse effect on our business. See “Part I – Financial Information – Item 1 – Financial Statements – Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies”for further discussion regarding these inquiries.

In addition, there has been (and may continue to be) other litigation challenging lending arrangements where a bank or other third party has made a loan and then sells and assigns it to an entity that is engaged in assisting with the origination and servicing of a loan. In January 2017, the Colorado Administrator of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code filed suit against Avant, Inc., an online consumer loan platform. The Administrator asserts that loans to Colorado residents facilitated on the Avant platform were required to comply with Colorado laws regarding interest rates and fees, and that those laws were not preempted by federal laws that apply to loans originated by our banking partner, WebBank, a federally regulated bank. In March 2017, WebBank filed its own lawsuit in federal district court for the District of Colorado seeking declaratory relief that loans originated by WebBank are “valid when made” and are subject to federal requirements that pre-empt Colorado state requirements. No assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of these matters. However, these matters could potentially impact the Company’s business, including the maximum interest rates and fees that can be charged and application of certain consumer protection statutes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The following table sets forth certain cash flow information for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
Condensed Cash Flow Information:	2017			2016
Net cash used for operating activities	$	(30,652	)	$	(1,190	)
Cash flow related to loan investing activities (1)	288,043			(222,412		)
Cash flow related to all other investing activities	76,043			(44,516		)
Net cash provided by (used for) investing activities	364,086			(266,928		)
Cash flow related to note/certificate and secured borrowings financing (1)	(287,499		)	214,044
Cash flow used for all other financing activities	(23,093		)	3,469
Net cash (used for) provided by financing activities	(310,592		)	217,513
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	22,842		$	(50,605	)

⁽¹⁾  Cash flow related to loan investing activities includes the purchase of loans and repayment of loans facilitated through our marketplace. Cash flow related to note/certificate and secured borrowings financing activities includes the issuance of notes and certificates to investors and the repayment of those notes and certificates. These amounts generally correspond and offset each other.

Our short-term liquidity needs generally relate to our working capital requirements. These liquidity needs are generally met through cash generated from the operations of facilitating loan originations. If we experience a pause in investor capital on our platform, cash generated from facilitating loan originations could decline, in which case we may need to use our cash and cash equivalents on hand, which was $538.4 million at June 30, 2017, to meet our working capital needs. Additionally, we had $225.3 million of available for sale securities at June 30, 2017. The consolidated net loss during the first half of of 2017, along with the purchase of loans the Company sold and intends to sell, and the payment of the 2016 corporate cash bonus in February 2017, resulted in negative operating cash flows for the first half of2017.

Additionally, given the payment dependent structure of the notes and certificates, principal and interest payments on notes and certificates are paid only when received from borrowers on the corresponding retained loans, resulting in no material impact to our liquidity. During the first half of2017, we purchased a total of $189.4 million of loans through the platform to support securitization initiatives and fulfill contractual purchase obligations. The outstanding principal balance of loans for which we remained invested in as of June 30, 2017 amounted to $57.2 million.

Cash and cash equivalents are primarily held in institutional money market funds, interest-bearing deposit accounts at investment grade financial institutions, certificates of deposit, and commercial paper. Cash and cash equivalents were $538.4 million and $515.6 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Changes in the balance of cash and cash equivalents are generally a result of timing related to working capital requirements or investments in or out of our securities available for sale portfolio and changes in restricted cash and other investments.

Restricted cash consists primarily of bank deposit accounts and money market funds that are: (i) pledged to, or held in escrow at correspondent banks as security for transactions processed on or related to our platform or activities by certain investors; (ii) pledged through a credit support agreement with a certificate holder; (iii) received from

investors but not yet been applied to their accounts on the platform and transferred to segregated bank accounts that hold investors’ funds; or (iv) as of December 31, 2016, held in a Rabbi Trust through a grantor trust agreement to satisfy obligations to partnerships under the 2016 Cash Retention Bonus Plan. Restricted cash was $161.7 million and $177.8 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The decrease in restricted cash is primarily attributable to a decrease in cash received from investors that has not yet been applied to their accounts.

We invest in securities classified as available for sale. The fair value of securities available for sale as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $225.3 million and $287.1 million, respectively. At June 30, 2017, these securities included corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, U.S. agency securities, U.S. Treasury securities, asset-backed securities related to consolidated VIE and other securities. All securities, except for the subordinate residual certificates of the consolidated VIE related to a sponsored securitization transaction, were rated investment grade (defined as a rating equivalent to a Moody’s rating of “Baa3” or higher, or a Standard & Poor’s rating of “BBB-” or higher) and there were no significant unrealized losses. These securities provided $1.9 million and $1.8 million of interest income for the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively. These securities continue to be available to meet liquidity needs.

Our available liquidity resources may also be provided by external sources. On December 17, 2015, we entered into a credit and guaranty agreement with several lenders for an aggregate $120.0 million secured revolving credit facility (Credit Facility). In connection with the credit agreement, we entered into a pledge and security agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as collateral agent. Proceeds of loans made under the Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until December 17, 2020. Repayment of any outstanding proceeds are payable on December 17, 2020, but may be prepaid without penalty. We did not have any loans outstanding under the Credit Facility during the first half of2017.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at an annual rate based on LIBOR rate plus a spread of 1.75% to 2.00%, which is fixed for a Company-selected interest period of one, two, three, six or 12 months, or at an alternative base rate (which is tied to either the prime rate, federal funds effective rate, or the adjusted eurocurrency rate, as defined in the credit agreement). Base rate borrowings may be prepaid at any time without penalty, however pre-payment of LIBOR-based borrowings before the end of the selected interest period may result in us incurring expense to compensate the lenders for their funding costs through the end of the interest period. Interest is payable quarterly. Additionally, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee to the lenders of between 0.25% and 0.375% per annum, depending on our total net leverage ratio, on the average undrawn portion available under the revolving loan facility.

The Credit Facility and pledge and security agreement contain certain covenants applicable to us, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends, incur indebtedness, pledge our assets, merge or consolidate, make investments, and enter into certain affiliate transactions. The Credit Facility required us to maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, on a consolidated basis for the four most recent Fiscal Quarter periods) of 4.00:1.00 initially, which decreases over the term of the Credit Facility to 3.00:1.00 on and after June 30, 2018 (on a consolidated basis). As of June 30, 2017, the total net leverage ratio, calculated as defined in the Credit Facility, was 0%.

As a general matter, loans that are facilitated through our marketplace are funded by the issuance of Notes to our retail investors and the issuance of certificates or whole loan sales to institutional investors without the use of the Company’s capital. However, to expand the Company’s investor base, the Company has recently developed capabilities to support securitization of loans. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company used its own capital to purchase loans to leverage this newly developed securitization capability and sponsored its first securitization. We intend to use more of our capital to purchase loans for future securitizations or loan sales. We also use our own capital to fulfill contractual purchase obligations for loans funded without a matched third-party investor, from time to time. Additionally, we may use our own capital to invest in loans to fulfill regulatory obligations, support short-

term marketplace equilibrium, offer customer accommodations, or to test and establish a track record of performance for new or alternative loan terms, programs, or channels.

We believe based on our projections and ability to reduce loan volume if needed, that our cash on hand, funds available from our line of credit, and our cash flow from operations is expected to be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months.

Capital Resources

Net capital expenditures were $19.7 million, or 7.3% of total net revenue, and $26.9 million, or 10.5% of total net revenue, for the first halves of2017 and 2016, respectively. Capital expenditures generally consist of internally developed software, computer equipment, and construction in progress. Capital expenditures in 2017 are expected to be approximately $50.0 million, primarily related to costs associated with the continued development and support of our lending platform. In the future, we expect our capital expenditures to increase as we continue to enhance our platform to support the growth in our business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, a total of $4.7 million in standby letters of credit were outstanding related to certain financial covenants required for our leased facilities. To date, no amounts have been drawn against the letters of credit, which renew annually and expire at various dates through July 2026.

Contingencies

For a comprehensive discussion of contingencies as of June 30, 2017, see“Part I – Financial Information – Item 1 – Financial Statements – Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity are discussed in “Part  II – Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Critical Accounting Estimates” in the Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these critical accounting estimates during the first half of2017, except as disclosed in “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” pertaining to “Goodwill and Intangible Assets.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in market prices and rates.

Discount Rate Sensitivity

We are exposed to market risk on loans facilitated through our marketplace that are not sold or funded with offsetting notes and certificates. Changes in the fair value of these loans are primarily related to changes in market discount rates and actual credit performance. The fair values of loans are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology, where the discount rate represents an estimate of the required rate of return by market participants. The discount rates for our loans may change due to expected loan performance or changes in the expected returns of similar financial instruments available in the market.

During the second quarter of 2017, we purchased a total of $183.2 million of loans through the platform, primarily to support securitization partners and upcoming securitization initiatives, fund certain custom program loans, and fulfill contractual purchase obligations. In the second quarter of 2017, we sold $142.4 million of loans we previously purchased. We recorded a negative $2.2 million net fair value adjustment related to the loans we invested in as of June 30, 2017. The outstanding principal balance of loans for which we remained invested in as of June 30, 2017 was $57.2 million. We do not believe the interest rate risk associated with the remaining loans we held as of June 30, 2017 is material, but we will experience increased exposure to market risks if we increase the amount of our capital used to invest in loans. See “Current Economic and Business Environment” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Liquidity” for additional discussion. We do not hold or issue other financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We invest in securities classified as available for sale. The fair value of securities available for sale as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $225.3 million and $287.1 million, respectively, consisting of corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities, U.S. agency securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, asset-backed securities related to a consolidated VIE and other securities. To mitigate the risk of loss, our investment policy and strategy is focused first on the preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity requirements, and then maximizing returns. To manage this risk, the Company limits and monitors maturities, credit ratings, and concentrations within the investment portfolio. Changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on our securities available for sale and the market value of those securities. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $0.8 million in the fair value of our securities available for sale as of June 30, 2017. A hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in an increase of approximately $0.8 million in the fair value of our securities available for sale as of June 30, 2017. Any unrealized gains or losses resulting from such interest rate changes would only be recorded if we sold the securities prior to maturity or if the securities were not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

We had cash and cash equivalents of $538.4 million as of June 30, 2017. These amounts were held primarily in interest-bearing deposits at investment grade financial institutions, institutional money market funds, certificates of deposit, and commercial paper, which are short-term. Cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. Due to their short-term nature, we do not believe we have material exposure to changes in the fair value of these liquid investments as a result of changes in interest rates. Decreases in short-term interest rates will not materially reduce interest income on these cash and cash equivalents because of the current low rate environment. Increases in short-term interest rates will modestly increase the interest income earned on these cash balances.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2017. In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, of achieving the desired control objectives, and is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on the evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017 were designed and functioned effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was identified during the second quarter of 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a discussion of legal proceedings, see “Part 1 – Financial Information – Item 1 – Financial Statements – Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies – Legal,” which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risks described in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. While we believe the risks and uncertainties described therein include all material risks currently known by us, it is possible that these may not be the only ones we face. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, remains current in all material respects, with the exception of the below.

We Design, Create and Offer Products and Services, Including Our Platform, Which Incorporate Innovative Technologies That Involves Risks and We May Not Realize the Degree or Timing of Benefits

We operate a platform to offer innovative credit products to borrowers and exposure to credit for investors. Our products and services operate in a very dynamic industry and, to stay relevant and effective, we will utilize technology to develop our products and design our platform for greater efficiency. We expect spending in technology and data management and science will increase over time as we add computer scientists, designers, software engineers, data scientists and other employees. We seek to invest efficiently in several areas of technology and data and expansion of new and existing product categories and service offerings, such as our platform product. We also invest in our technology infrastructure to enhance the customer experience, improve our processes and

63

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

more efficiently match borrower and investor demand.To best take advantage of these continued advances in technology, we are investing in initiatives to build and deploy innovative and efficient software.

We seek to achieve growth through the design, development, and support of our products and services, including an innovative loan platform that incorporates advanced technologies. Our products and services, including our platform, change as we invest substantial amounts in research and development efforts to pursue advancements and better use our data. If our design and development efforts are delayed, or if third-party developers cannot timely deliver or perform to our standards, we may not meet customers’ schedules or expectations. Such issues could result in material additional costs, including penalties that could be assessed under existing contractual provisions. Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our technological advancements depends on a variety of factors, including meeting development, production, third-party requirements and approval and regulatory approval schedules; execution of internal and external performance plans; availability of third-party developers and suppliers; hiring and training of qualified personnel; achieving cost and production efficiencies; identification of emerging technological trends in our markets; validation of innovative technologies; the level of customer interest in new technologies and products; and borrower and investor acceptance of our products and products that incorporate technologies we develop. These products and services may incorporate additional technologies developed by third parties and involve additional risks and uncertainties. As a result, the performance and market acceptance of these third-party products and services could affect the level of customer interest and acceptance of our own products in the marketplace.

Any development efforts divert resources from other potential investments in our businesses, and these efforts may not lead to the development of new technologies or products on a timely basis or meet the needs of our customers as fully as competitive offerings. In addition, the markets for our products or products that incorporate our technologies may not develop or grow as we anticipate. We or our customers, suppliers or subcontractors may encounter difficulties in developing and producing new products and services, and may not realize the degree or timing of benefits initially anticipated or may otherwise suffer significant adverse financial consequences. Due to the design complexity of our products, we may in the future experience delays in completing the development and introduction of platform enhancements and new products. Any delays could result in increased development costs or deflect resources from other projects.

In addition, some of our agreements with platform investors contain provisions regarding the manner in which our marketplace platform product operates that could constrain the manner in which our marketplace platform product can develop, particularly with respect to how loans are selected for investment. Some of these agreements provide for significant damages in the event of a breach. These agreements could constrain the development of the marketplace or result in significant damages that could impact our results in a given period.

If we fail to accurately estimate our costs or the time required to support or complete a product enhancement, including any platform enhancements, the profitability of our products and services may be materially and adversely affected. Some of our contracts provide for liquidated damages in the event that we are unable to perform and deliver in accordance with the contractual specifications and schedule. In addition, we may face customer directed cost reduction targets that could have a material adverse effect on the profitability of our contracts. Furthermore, we cannot be sure that our competitors will not develop competing technologies which gain market acceptance in advance of or instead of our platform and products. The possibility exists that our competitors might develop new technology or offerings that might cause our existing technology and offerings to become obsolete. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Our ability to protect the confidential information of our borrowers and investors may be adversely affected by cyber-attacks, internal employee or other insider misconduct, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions.

Our business involves the collection, storage, processing and transmission of customers' personal data, including financial information. The highly automated nature of our marketplace may make it an attractive target and

64

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

potentially vulnerable to cyber attacks, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions. In addition, in certain circumstances we utilize third-party vendors to facilitate the servicing of borrower and investor accounts. Under these arrangements, these third-party vendors require access to certain customer data for the purpose of servicing the accounts. While we have taken steps to protect confidential information that we have access to, our security measures or those of our third-party vendors could be breached. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access to our marketplace or servicing systems could cause confidential borrower and investor information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes. Security breaches or unauthorized access to confidential 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, third-party vendor error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in our software are exposed and exploited, our relationships with borrowers and investors could be severely damaged, and we could incur significant liability.

The techniques used to obtain unauthorized, improper or illegal access to our systems, our data or customers' data, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized until after they have been launched against a target. Unauthorized parties may attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities through various means, including, among others, hacking into the systems or facilities of us or our partners or customers, or attempting to fraudulently induce our employees, partners, customers or others into disclosing user names, passwords, or other sensitive information, which may in turn be used to access our information technology systems. Certain efforts may be state-sponsored and supported by significant financial and technological resources, making them even more difficult to detect.

Federal regulators and many federal and state regulations require notice if data security breaches involve certain personal data. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause borrowers and investors to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures. Any security breach, whether actual or perceived, would harm our reputation, we could lose borrowers, investors and ecosystem partners and our business and operations could be adversely affected. Additionally, our insurance policies carry a self-insured retention and coverage limits, which may not be adequate to reimburse us for losses caused by security breaches, and we may not be able to collect fully, if at all, under these insurance policies.

If we are unable to maintain our relationships with issuing banks, our business will suffer.

We rely on issuing banks to originate all loans and to comply with various federal, state and other laws. Our primary issuing bank is WebBank, a Utah-chartered industrial bank that handles a variety of consumer and commercial financing programs. Springstone Financial, LLC (Springstone), our wholly-owned subsidiary, relies on NBT Bank and Comenity Capital Bank as issuing banks for its purchase finance loans such as education and patient finance loans. Our agreements with WebBank are non-exclusive and do not prohibit WebBank from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. Our current agreements with WebBank have initial terms ending in January 2020, with two automatic, one-year renewal terms, subject to certain early termination provisions as set forth in the agreements. These agreements provide WebBank with a right to originate a certain percentage of the loans facilitated through our platform. WebBank currently offers loan programs through other online marketplaces and other alternative lenders. WebBank could decide that working with us is not in its interest, could make working with it cost prohibitive or could decide to enter into exclusive or more favorable relationships with our competitors. In addition, WebBank may not perform as expected under our agreements including potentially being unable to accommodate our projected growth in loan volume. We could in the future have disagreements or disputes with WebBank or other issuing banks, which could negatively impact or threaten our relationship.

WebBank is subject to oversight by the FDIC and the State of Utah and must comply with complex rules and regulations, licensing and examination requirements, including requirements to maintain a certain amount of regulatory capital relative to its outstanding loans. We are a service provider to WebBank, and as such, we are subject to audit by WebBank in accordance with FDIC guidance related to management of third-party vendors. We are also subject to the examination and enforcement authority of the FDIC as a bank service company covered by

the Bank Service Company Act. If WebBank were to suspend, limit or cease its operations or our relationship with WebBank were to otherwise terminate, we would need to implement a substantially similar arrangement with another issuing bank, obtain additional state licenses or curtail our operations. We work to have one or more issuing banks to serve as a backup issuing bank to WebBank. To date, no backup issuing banks have originated any loans through our platform and we do not believe that we have a backup origination arrangement that could be in a position to originate loans without significant investment in time and resources, resulting in a disruption to the business. Our relationships with such backup issuing banks are subject to a number of risks and may be subject to change or termination with appropriate notice. In the event that our relationships with such backup issuing banks change, we may need to enter into alternative arrangements with different issuing banks.

We believe that our relationships with all of our issuing bank partners are critical to our business and that maintaining backup arrangements for origination of loans is vital to the health of our business. However, if we need to enter into alternative arrangements with a different issuing bank to replace our existing arrangements, we may not be able to negotiate a comparable alternative arrangement. Transitioning loan originations to a new issuing bank is untested and may result in delays in the issuance of loans or, if our platform becomes inoperable, may result in our inability to facilitate loans through our platform. If we were unable to enter in an alternative arrangement with a different issuing bank, we would need to obtain a state license in each state in which we operate to enable us to originate loans, as well as comply with other state and federal laws, which would be costly and time-consuming. If we are unsuccessful in maintaining our relationships with WebBank or other issuing banks, our ability to provide loan products could be materially impaired and our operating results would suffer.

If we breach representations or warranties that we made in our securitization financing transactions, or if either we or our Sponsor suffer a loss in our retained interests in that transaction, our financial condition could be harmed.

In June 2017 we sponsored the sale of unsecured personal whole loans through an asset-backed securitization. In connection with this securitization, we made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants. If there is a breach of those representations and warranties or a defect in the documentation of any of the contributed assets, which breach or defect materially and adversely affects the value of the subject contributed asset, then we will be required to either cure the breach, repurchase the affected contributed asset from the issuing entity, replace the affected contributed asset with another asset or make a loss of value payment, as the case may be. Any such loss could be material and have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

Further in connection with the securitization, we established a majority-owned affiliate (MOA) that purchased the loans from investors and simultaneously transferred them to a securitization trust. To comply with regulatory risk retention rules, the MOA retained 5% of each of the senior securities and the subordinate residual certificate. In the event that the MOA suffers loss on all or a portion of the retained interests, we would suffer losses equal to our percentage ownership interest in the MOA.

We may enter into similar transactions in the future and those transactions could likely entail similar and other substantial risks.

Risk retention rules and recent developments in our business may increase our compliance costs, impair our liquidity and otherwise adversely affect our operating results.

We have been using, and may increasingly use, securitizations as a source of liquidity and financing for our business. Securitizations provide us with additional sources of investor demand for the consumer loans facilitated through our platform. If credit rating downgrades, market volatility, market disruptions, regulatory requirements or other factors impede our ability to complete additional securitization transactions on a timely basis or upon terms acceptable to us, our ability to fund our business may be adversely affected.

As described in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – 15. Commitments and Contingencies – Purchase Commitments and Loan Funding,” we have

and will utilize a greater share of our balance sheet to support securitization initiatives. Historically our business has not been dependent on using our balance sheet and assuming credit risk for loans facilitated through our platform. As we continue such activities (whether in connection with supporting securitization initiatives or otherwise), our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations will become more dependent upon the performance of the retained loans and retained interests in securitizations.

Effective as of December 24, 2016, “risk retention” rules promulgated by U.S. federal regulators under the Dodd-Frank Act require a “securitizer” or “sponsor” of a securitization transaction to retain, directly or through a “majority-owned affiliate” (as defined in the U.S. Risk Retention Rules), in one or more prescribed forms, at least 5% of the credit risk of the securitized assets (the “U.S. Risk Retention Rules”). For securitizations for which we have acted as “sponsor,” we have sought to satisfy the risk retention requirements under the U.S. Risk Retention Rules through a majority-owned affiliate. See “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” and “Note 6. Securitization of Personal Whole Loans.” There can be no assurance that applicable regulatory or governmental authorities will agree that this approach (or any other approach we may adopt in the future) satisfies the U.S. Risk Retention Rules. Furthermore, we have also participated in other securitizations for  which we have determined that we are not “sponsor,” and accordingly, we have not sought to comply with risk retention or requirements that would be applicable to the “sponsor” of those transactions. The U.S. Risk Retention Rules are subject to varying interpretations, and one or more regulatory or governmental authorities could take positions with respect to the U.S. Risk Retention Rules that conflict with, or are inconsistent with, the U.S. Risk Retention Rules as understood or interpreted by us, the securitization industry generally, or past or current regulatory or governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that applicable regulatory or governmental authorities will agree with any of our determinations described above, and if such authorities disagree with such determinations, we may be exposed to additional costs and expenses, in addition to potential liability. Furthermore, we expect that compliance with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules (and other related laws and regulations), as currently understood by us, may entail the implementation of new forms, processes, procedures, controls and infrastructure. Such implementation may be costly and may adversely affect our operating results.

In addition to the increased costs we expect to be generated by our efforts to comply with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules, which may be significant, we expect the U.S. Risk Retention Rules to tie up our capital, which could potentially have been deployed in other ways that could have generated better value for our shareholders. Holding risk retention interests or loans in contemplation of securitizations increases our exposure to the performance of the loans that underlie or are expected to underlie those securitizations. Accordingly, although compliance with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules would be expected to more closely align our incentives with those of the investors in our loans, it is also expected that poor loan performance may have a heightened adverse effect on the value of our shares. This may exacerbate the negative effects of poor loan performance on the value of our shares. Acting as a “sponsor” for a securitization transaction may also increase our risk of litigation from, and indemnification exposure to, third-party participants and investors in the securities offered pursuant to such securitization transactions.

To the extent we obtain any third-party financing in connection with retaining the requisite risk retention interest, such as through recourse financings as contemplated by the U.S. Risk Retention Rules, the terms of such financing may impose additional limitations or restrictions on our business that could adversely alter the way our business is operated, reduce the value acting as "sponsor" to us and to our shareholders, or otherwise adversely affect our business and operations generally, or the value of our shares. 

There can also be no assurance that there will not be a change in applicable law or rules and regulations in the future, particularly in light of recent statements made by the Trump Administration and the House Financial Services Committee. Any such changes could adversely affect us or the securitization transactions for which we act as “sponsor,” including by making any structural changes undertaken to facilitate compliance with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules obsolete, unnecessarily burdensome or otherwise economically or administratively disadvantageous.

Recent legislative and regulatory initiatives have imposed restrictions and requirements on financial institutions that could have an adverse effect on our business.

The Dodd-Frank Act and other legislation and regulations relating to financial institutions and markets, including alternative asset management funds, has resulted in increased oversight and taxation. However, the recent presidential and congressional elections in the United States could result in significant changes in, and uncertainty with respect to, legislation, regulation and government policy. 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 on 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.

The Dodd-Frank Act is extensive and significant legislation enacting changes that broadly affect most aspects of the financial services industry. The Dodd-Frank Act, among other things, contains a risk retention requirement for all asset-backed securities, which, if applied to our business, would change our business model. Under these risk retention rules, sponsors of both public and private issuances of asset-backed securities are generally (subject to certain exceptions) required to retain, in one or more prescribed forms, at least 5% of the credit risk of the assets collateralizing such asset-backed securities. In some cases, this risk retention requirement may be retained by a majority-owned affiliate (as determined by GAAP) of the sponsor. These regulations generally prohibit the sponsor or its affiliate from directly or indirectly hedging or otherwise selling or transferring the retained interest for a specified period of time, depending on the type of asset that is securitized. All sponsors of issuances of asset-backed securities are required to comply with such rules beginning in December 2015, with respect to asset-backed securities collateralized by residential mortgages, and December 2016 with regard to all other classes of asset-backed securities. These changes could impact our access to the asset-backed securities capital markets and, to the extent we issue, or act as the sponsor for issuances of, asset-backed securities ourselves, our financing programs could be less effective.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) published a final rule on July 19, 2017, applicable to certain providers of consumer financial products or services that prevent a provider from using a mandatory arbitration clause to bar a consumer from filing or participating in a class action and requires providers who invoke use of a pre-dispute arbitration clause to submit certain arbitration and court records to the CFPB within a specified time frame. After the compliance date of this rule, we may see an industry-wide increase in class actions filed against providers of financial products or services. This may result in a corresponding increase in cost for our business to defend against alleged class actions. In addition, we may incur an increased cost for compliance with the CFPB reporting requirements.
