1. Basis of Presentation

LendingClub Corporation (LendingClub) operates an online lending marketplace platform that connects borrowers and investors. Various wholly-owned subsidiaries of LendingClub have been established to enter into borrowing agreements with certain lenders for secured credit facilities. Additionally, LendingClub has established various entities to facilitate loan sale transactions, including sponsoring asset-backed securitization transactions and Certificate Program transactions (collectively referred to as Structured Program transactions), where certain accredited investors and qualified institutional buyers have the opportunity to invest in senior and subordinated securities backed by a pool of unsecured personal whole loans. Certificate Program transactions include CLUB Certificate and Levered Certificate transactions. LC Trust I (the LC 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 issued by the LC Trust that are related to specific underlying loans for the benefit of the investor. Springstone Financial, LLC (Springstone), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of LendingClub that facilitates education and patient finance loans originated by third-party issuing banks.

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 (VIEs). 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, in the opinion of management, 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. These estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature and actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material. Results reported in interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other interim period. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

A 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock became effective on July 5, 2019. As a result, prior period share and per share amounts presented in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and these related notes were retroactively adjusted accordingly. See “Note 4. Net Loss Per Share” for additional information.

The Company presents loans under a number of different captions to align the assets to their associated liabilities, if any. “Loans held for investment at fair value” are loans which are related to the Company’s retail notes, certificates and secured borrowings program. The Company is not exposed to market risk, interest rate risk or credit risk on these loans and all loan cash flows flow directly to the retail note, certificate and secured borrowing owners. The associated liability for this loan category is included in the caption “Notes, certificates and secured borrowings at fair value.” Loans included in “Loans held for investment by the Company at fair value” and “Loans held for sale by the Company at fair value” are loans which the Company has purchased and from which the Company earns interest income and records net fair value adjustments in earnings for changes in the valuation of loans.

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, 2019 (Annual Report) filed on February 19, 2020.

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 changes to these significant accounting policies for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, except as noted below.

Securities Available for Sale

Debt securities that the Company might not hold until maturity are classified as securities available for sale. In structured program transactions that meet the applicable criteria to be accounted for as a sale, the Company retains certain asset-backed securities including subordinated residual interests and CLUB Certificates, which are classified as securities available for sale. On January 1, 2020, the entity adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (CECL) for securities available for sale. Asset-backed securities where the expected cash flows are significantly lower than that of the contractual future cash flows are considered to be purchased with credit deterioration (PCD). The discounted differential in expected and contractual cash flows is included with the purchase price of the asset to determine amortized cost of the security with an equal and offsetting valuation allowance for credit losses. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are reported, net of taxes, in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” included in Equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, unless management determines that the security is impaired due to a deterioration in expected cash flows, in which case the unrealized loss is recognized in earnings within “Net fair value adjustments” as a valuation allowance for credit losses (with the implementation of CECL) or other-than-temporary impairment (prior to the implementation of CECL) in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Management evaluates whether debt securities available for sale with unrealized losses are impaired on a quarterly basis. If the Company intends to sell the security, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, an impairment is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and fair value of the debt security. However, even if the Company does not expect to sell a debt security it must evaluate if a deterioration in cash flows exists.

Accrued Interest Receivable on Loans

The Company does not record an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable. The Company places loans on non-accrual status at 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the Company stops accruing interest and reverses all accrued but unpaid interest income as of such date.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share (Basic EPS) attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to LendingClub by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share (Diluted EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to LendingClub by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effects of dilutive issuances of shares of common stock, which include incremental shares issued for outstanding RSUs, PBRSUs, and stock options. PBRSUs are included in dilutive shares to the extent the pre-established performance targets have been or are estimated to be satisfied as of the reporting date. The dilutive potential common shares are computed using the treasury stock method. The effects of outstanding RSUs, PBRSUs, and stock options are excluded from the computation of Diluted EPS in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. For periods with more than one class of common shares, the Company computes Basic and Diluted EPS using the two-class method, which is an allocation of net income (loss) among the holders of each class of

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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

(Unaudited)

common shares. The Series A Preferred Stock is considered a separate class of common share for purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share because it participates in earnings similar to common stock and does not receive any significant preferences over the common stock.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

The Company accounts for the beneficial conversion feature (BCF) on its Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company accretes the BCF discount from the date of issuance to the earliest conversion date, which was March 20, 2020. All of the BCF discount was accreted and recognized as a deemed dividend in “Accumulated deficit” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See “Note 14. Stockholders' Equity” for additional information.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Company adopted the following accounting standards during the three month period ended March 31, 2020:

On January 1, 2020, the entity adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. For loans accounted for at amortized cost, the guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with an expected credit loss model for which a company recognizes an allowance based on the estimate of expected credit loss. As the Company has elected the fair value option for loans and loans accounted for at fair value through net income are outside the scope of Topic 326, there is no impact on the Company’s loan portfolios.

For debt securities available for sale, Topic 326 requires recognition of expected credit losses by recognizing an allowance for credit losses when the fair value of the security is below amortized cost and the recognition of this allowance is limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and fair value. Upon adoption, the amendments in Topic 326 are recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, except for debt securities with prior other-than-temporary impairment whereby Topic 326 is applied prospectively.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2020. As a result, the amortized cost basis remains the same before and after the effective date of ASC 326. The effective interest rate on these debt securities was not changed. Amounts previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income as of January 1, 2020 relating to improvements in cashflows expected to be collected are accreted into income over the remaining life of the asset. Recoveries of amounts previously written off relating to improvements in cash flows after January 1, 2020 are recorded in earnings when received.

Additionally, the Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for PCD financial assets. The Company did not have any previously classified assets as purchased credit impaired (PCI) under ASC 310-30. In accordance with this standard, management did not reevaluate for PCD upon transition.

Adoption of Topic 326 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company included the disclosures required by ASU 2016-13 in “Note 5. Securities Available for Sale.”

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The ASU eliminates such disclosures as the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU adds new disclosure requirements for Level 3

(Unaudited)

measurements. The new guidance became effective on January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software – (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which requires a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. The standard became effective on January 1, 2020 and the Company adopted the standard using the prospective approach. The Company has reviewed existing cloud computing arrangements and determined which ones are service contracts. Implementation costs that are not from internal developers related to service contracts that satisfy the criteria for capitalization under ASC 350-40 will be presented with “Other assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, amortization expense will be presented in the same line on the income statement as the fees for the associated hosted service on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the cash flows will be presented consistent with the presentation of cash flows for the fees related to the hosted service, generally as cash flows from operations, on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is part of the FASB’s initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The proposed ASU eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes, and simplifies income tax accounting in several areas. The standard is effective on January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and disclosures, but does not expect such adoption to have a material impact.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which, if certain criteria are met, provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to transactions affected by reference rate reform. These transactions include contract modifications, hedging relationships, and sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. The provisions of the new standard may be adopted as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made until December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and disclosures. The Company has not elected an adoption date.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company’s revenue from contracts with customers includes transaction fees and referral fees. Referral fees are presented as a component of “Other revenue” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table presents the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers, disaggregated by revenue source for services transferred over time, for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020		2019
Transaction fees	$	136,243	$	135,397
Referral fees	1,614		695
Total revenue from contracts with customers	$	137,857	$	136,092

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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

(Unaudited)

The Company recognizes transaction and referral fees at each distinct instance after the Company satisfies its performance obligations. The Company had no bad debt expense for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019. Because revenue is recognized at the same time that payments are received, the Company had no contract assets, contract liabilities, or deferred contract costs recorded as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Additionally, the Company did not recognize any revenue from performance obligations related to prior periods (for example, due to changes in transaction price) for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019. For additional detail on the Company’s accounting policy regarding revenue recognition, see “Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report.

4. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

⁽²⁾	See “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and “Note 14. Stockholders' Equity” for additional information.


⁽³⁾	Share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split discussed below.

In February 2020, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with its largest stockholder, Shanda Asset Management Holdings Limited and its affiliates (Shanda), pursuant to which, on March 20, 2020, Shanda exchanged all of 19,562,881 shares of LendingClub common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, held by it for (i) 195,628 newly issued shares of mandatorily convertible, non-voting, LendingClub preferred stock, series A (Series A Preferred Stock), par value of $0.01 per share, and (ii) a one-time cash payment of $50.2 million. The Series A Preferred Stock is considered a separate class of common shares for purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share because it participates in earnings similar to common stock and does not receive any significant preferences over the common stock. See “Note 14. Stockholders' Equity,” for additional information. During the period that included the Company’s preferred stock, Basic and Diluted EPS were computed using the two-class method, which is a net income (loss) allocation that determines EPS for each class of common stock according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed income (loss).

⁽¹⁾	Share information has been retroactively adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split discussed below.

A 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock became effective on July 5, 2019 (the Reverse Stock Split). Share and per share information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements has been retroactively adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The par value per share of the Company’s common stock was not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the change in total par value was recorded in additional paid-in capital and has been retroactively adjusted for all periods in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

5. Securities Available for Sale

The Company’s Structured Program transactions include (i) asset-backed securitization transactions and (ii) Certificate Program transactions. Certificate Program transactions include CLUB Certificate and Levered Certificate transactions.

In connection with asset-backed securitizations, the Company is the sponsor and establishes trusts to ultimately purchase the unsecured personal loans from the Company and/or third-party whole loan investors. Securities issued from our asset-backed securitizations are senior or subordinated based on the waterfall criteria of loan payments to each security class. The subordinated residual interests issued from these transactions are first to absorb credit losses in accordance with the waterfall criteria. The assets are transferred into a trust such that the assets are legally isolated from the creditors of the Company and are not available to satisfy obligations of the Company. These assets can only be used to settle obligations of the underlying trusts. The asset-backed securitization senior securities and subordinated residual interests retained by the Company are presented as “Asset-backed senior securities” and “Asset-backed subordinated securities,” respectively, in the securities available for sale tables below.

In addition, the Company sponsors the sale of unsecured personal loans through the issuance of certificate securities under our Certificate Program. The certificate securities are collateralized by loans transferred to a series of a master trust and trade in the over-the-counter market with a CUSIP. The assets are transferred into a trust such that the assets are legally isolated from the creditors of the Company and are not available to satisfy obligations of the Company. These assets can only be used to settle obligations of the underlying Certificate Program trusts. The CLUB Certificate issued securities are pass-through securities of which each owner has an undivided and equal interest in the underlying loans of each transaction. The Levered Certificate issued securities include senior and subordinated securities based on the waterfall criteria of loan payments to each security class. The subordinated securities issued from these transactions are first to absorb credit losses in accordance with the waterfall criteria. The CLUB Certificate issued securities retained by the Company are presented as “CLUB Certificate asset-backed securities” in the securities available for sale tables below.

The Levered Certificate issued senior and subordinated securities retained by the Company are presented in aggregate with securities from asset-backed securitizations as “Asset-backed senior securities” and “Asset-backed subordinated securities,” respectively, in the tables below. The “Other asset-backed securities” caption in the tables below primarily includes investment-grade rated bonds that are collateralized by automobile loan receivables.

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, allowance for credit losses, and fair value of securities available for sale as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, were as follows:

⁽¹⁾	The number of investment positions with unrealized losses at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 totaled 188 and 70, respectively.

The Company recorded an allowance for credit loss on those securities where there was a deterioration in future estimated cash flows. The Company also recorded unrealized losses on securities with fair value price reductions due to higher liquidity premiums observed due to the market dislocation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company deemed it not necessary to record unrealized losses as an allowance for credit loss for certain securities due to the nature of those securities and their investment grade quality.

During the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $11.0 million in credit loss expense and $1.2 million in other-than-temporary impairment charges, respectively, on its asset-backed securities related to Structured Program transactions. There were no credit losses recognized into earnings for other-than-temporarily impaired securities held by the Company during the first quarter of 2019 for which a portion of the impairment was previously recognized in other comprehensive income.

The following table presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses for securities available for sale, by major security type, for the first quarter of 2020:

Consolidated VIEs

The Company consolidates VIEs when it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. See “Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Annual Report for additional information.

LC Trust

The Company established the LC Trust for the purpose of acquiring and holding loans for the sole benefit of certain investors that have purchased trust certificates issued by the LC Trust. The Company is obligated to ensure that the LC Trust meets minimum capital requirements with respect to funding the administrative activities and maintaining the operations of the LC Trust.

Consolidated Trusts

The Company establishes trusts to facilitate the sale of loans and issuance of senior and subordinated securities. If the Company is the primary beneficiary of the trust, it is a consolidated VIE and will reflect senior and subordinated securities held by third parties as a “Payable to Structured Program note and certificate holders at fair value” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If subsequently the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the trust, the Company will deconsolidate the VIE. See “Note 13. Debt” for additional information.

Warehouse Credit Facilities

The Company established certain entities (deemed to be VIEs) to enter into warehouse credit facilities for the purpose of purchasing loans from LendingClub. See “Note 13. Debt” for additional information.

The following tables present a summary of financial assets and liabilities from the Company’s involvement with consolidated VIEs at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:



March 31, 2020	Assets		Liabilities			Net Assets
LC Trust	$	137,089	$	(134,876	)	$	2,213
Consolidated trusts	219,259		(206,571		)	12,688

Total consolidated VIEs	$	825,384	$	(629,132	)	$	196,252

The creditors of the VIEs above have no recourse to the general credit of the Company as the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and the liabilities of the VIEs can only be settled by the respective VIE’s assets.

Unconsolidated VIEs

The Company’s transactions with unconsolidated VIEs include asset-backed securitizations, Certificate Program transactions and loan sale transactions of unsecured personal loans. The Company has various forms of involvement with VIEs, including servicing of loans and holding senior or subordinated residual interests in the VIEs. The accounting for these transactions is based on a primary beneficiary analysis to determine whether the underlying VIEs should be consolidated. If the VIEs are not consolidated and the transfer of the loans from the Company to the VIE meets sale accounting criteria, then the Company will recognize a gain or loss on sales of loans. The Company considers continued involvement in an unconsolidated VIE insignificant if it is the sponsor and servicer and does not hold other significant variable interests. In these instances, the Company’s involvement with the VIE is in the role as an agent and without significant participation in the economics of the VIE. The Company enters into separate servicing agreements with the VIEs and holds at least 5% of the beneficial interests issued by the VIEs to comply with regulatory risk retention rules. The beneficial interests retained by the Company consist of senior securities and subordinated securities and are accounted for as securities available for sale. In connection with these transactions, we make certain customary representations, warranties and covenants. See “Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Annual Report for additional information.

Investment Fund

The Company has an equity investment in a private fund (Investment Fund) that participates in a family of funds with other unrelated third parties. This family of funds purchases whole loans and interests in loans from the Company, as well as other assets from third parties unrelated to the Company. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had an ownership interest of approximately 22% in the Investment Fund. The Company’s investment is deemed to be a variable interest in the Investment Fund because the Company shares in the expected returns and losses of the

Investment Fund. At March 31, 2020, the Company’s investment was $7.8 million, which is recognized in “Other assets” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following tables summarize unconsolidated VIEs with which the Company has significant continuing involvement, but is not the primary beneficiary at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

most current information available. “Securities Available for Sale,” “Accrued Interest Receivable,” “Other Assets” and “Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities” are the balances in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to its involvement with the unconsolidated VIEs. “Other Assets” includes the Company’s servicing assets and servicing receivables and the Company’s equity investment with respect to the Investment Fund. “Total Exposure” refers to the Company’s maximum exposure to loss from its involvement with unconsolidated VIEs. It represents estimated loss that would be incurred under severe, hypothetical circumstances, for which the Company believes the possibility is extremely remote, such as where the value of interests and any associated collateral declines to zero. Accordingly, this required disclosure is not an indication of expected losses.

The following table summarizes activity related to the Unconsolidated Trusts and Certificate Program trusts, with the transfers accounted for as a sale on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019:

Cash proceeds for interest received on senior securities and subordinated securities	$	1,040		$	2,273	$	1,439	$	1,435


⁽¹⁾	For Structured Program transactions, the Company retained asset-backed senior securities of $23.0 million and $13.4 million, CLUB Certificate asset-backed securities of $18.3 million and $26.8 million, and asset-backed subordinated securities of $2.9 million and $1.1 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Loans

Off-balance sheet loans primarily relate to Structured Program transactions for which the Company has some form of continuing involvement, including as servicer. Delinquent loans are comprised of loans 31 days or more past due, including non-accrual loans. Loans to eligible borrowers participating in Skip-a-Pay are not considered delinquent during the commensurate period the loan is extended. For loans related to Structured Program transactions where servicing is the only form of continuing involvement, the Company would only experience a loss if it was required to repurchase a loan due to a breach in representations and warranties associated with its loan sale or servicing contracts.

As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the off-balance sheet loans pursuant to Structured Program transactions was $4.8 billion, of which $144.4 million was attributable to off-balance sheet loans that were 31 days or more past due. As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the off-balance sheet loans pursuant to Structured Program transactions was $4.4 billion, of which $145.6 million was attributable to off-balance sheet loans that were 31 days or more past due.

Retained Interests from Unconsolidated VIEs

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

See “Note 8. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities” for additional information on the fair value sensitivity of asset-backed securities related to Structured Program transactions.

As presented in the tables above, the Company has elected the fair value option for certain liabilities. Changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities caused by a change in the Company’s risk are reported in other comprehensive income (OCI). For the first quarter of 2020, the amount reported in OCI is zero because these financial liabilities are either payable only upon receipt of cash flows from underlying loans or secured by cash collateral.

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 held for investment and related notes, certificates, and secured borrowings, loans held for sale, loan servicing rights, asset-backed securities related to Structured Program transactions, 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 observable and unobservable inputs, respectively. The Company primarily uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of Level 3 instruments based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. This model uses inputs that are inherently judgmental and reflect our best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. The Company did not transfer any assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 during the first quarter of 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019.

Fair valuation adjustments are recorded through earnings related to Level 3 instruments for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019. Certain 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 valuation techniques, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change from another input.

Significant Recurring Level 3 Fair Value Input Sensitivity

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the discounted cash flow methodology used to estimate the note, certificate and secured borrowings’ 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 held for investment and loans held for sale were largely offset by the corresponding fair value adjustments due to the payment dependent design of the notes, certificates and secured borrowings.

13. Debt

Credit Facilities and Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements

The Company may enter into arrangements in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which the Company can incur indebtedness. Below is a description of certain of these arrangements:

Warehouse Credit Facilities

Through wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company entered into secured warehouse credit facilities (Warehouse Facilities), starting in 2017, to finance the Company’s personal loans and auto refinance loans and to pay fees and expenses related to the applicable facilities. Each subsidiary entered into a credit agreement and security agreement with a commercial bank as administrative agent and a national banking association as collateral trustee and paying agent. The creditors of the Warehouse Facilities have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

As of March 31, 2020, the warehouse facilities used to finance our personal loans (Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities) have a combined borrowing capacity of $750.0 million on a revolving basis and have “Commitment Termination Dates” ranging from June 2020 to February 2022, at which point the Company’s ability to borrow new funds under the respective facility ends. Under the respective agreements, if not amended, extended, or replaced, any outstanding debt on the Commitment Termination Dates would be repaid as an amortizing term loan (based on principal repayments of the financed personal loans) until the facility’s final maturity date, and outstanding debt is not due in full upon the “Commitment Termination Dates.” In addition, under the respective agreements, if there is any breach of delinquency measures and other maintenance provisions, any outstanding debt would be repaid as an amortizing term loan (based on principal repayments of the financed personal loans) until the facility’s final maturity date. The final maturity date occurs at the earlier of twelve months after the Commitment Termination Date

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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

(Unaudited)

and three years after these Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities were executed, and any remaining debt is due in full at such time. Under the respective agreements, the Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities mature between June 2021 and February 2023. There is an outstanding balance of $378.5 million at March 31, 2020, with associated Commitment Termination Dates of October 2020 for $144.5 million and February 2022 for $234.0 million. The credit facility, with a Commitment Maturity Date of June 2020, has no outstanding debt and is not expected to be renewed, as it supported capital markets Structured Program activity in which the Company is not currently engaged. If the Commitment Termination Dates are not extended, the outstanding credit facility balances are paid down as principal payments are received on the underlying loans securing the Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities through to the final maturity date one year following the Commitment Termination Date. One of the Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities with a Commitment Termination Date of February 2022 and an outstanding balance of $234.0 million at March 31, 2020 contains a loan aging limit of 210 days, after which the advance rate for any such loan is reduced by 50%. The loan aging limit is applied loan by loan, with the majority of the loans reaching their limit in the fourth quarter of 2020. Any such loans may be removed from this warehouse facility upon repayment of the borrowed amount or substitution of other qualifying loans, and could be pledged to another warehouse facility’s available unused borrowing capacity.

The warehouse facility to finance auto refinance loans (Auto Loan Warehouse Credit Facility) is a $34.2 million term loan that matures in June 2021, which has a remaining outstanding balance of $11.5 million as of March 31, 2020. The amount borrowed under this Auto Loan Warehouse Credit Facility amortizes over time through regular principal and interest payments collected from the auto refinance loans that serve as collateral.

The creditors of the Personal Loan and Auto Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at an annual benchmark rate of LIBOR (London Inter-bank Offered Rate) or at an alternative commercial paper rate (which is either (i) the per annum rate equivalent to the weighted-average of the per annum rates at which all commercial paper notes were issued by certain lenders to fund advances or maintain loans, or (ii) the daily weighted-average of LIBOR, as set forth in the applicable credit agreement), plus a spread ranging from 1.75% to 2.10%. Interest is payable monthly. Borrowings may be prepaid without penalty. In addition, the Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities require payment of a monthly unused commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 1.25% per annum on the average undrawn portion available.

The Personal Loan and Auto Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities contain certain covenants. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in material compliance with all applicable covenants under the respective credit agreements.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $390.0 million and $387.3 million in aggregate debt outstanding under the Personal Loan and Auto Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities, respectively, with collateral consisting of loans at fair value of $499.8 million and $551.5 million included in “Loans held for sale by the Company at fair value,” respectively, and restricted cash of $22.0 million and $25.1 million included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility

In December 2015, the Company entered into a credit and guaranty agreement and a pledge and security agreement with several lenders and a financial services company, as collateral agent, for an aggregate $120.0 million secured revolving credit facility (Revolving Facility).

The Company may borrow under the Revolving Facility until December 17, 2020. Repayment of any outstanding proceeds are payable on December 17, 2020, and may be prepaid without penalty.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at an annual rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 1.75% to 2.00%, which is fixed for a Company-selected interest period of one, two, three, six or

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

twelve months, or at an alternative base rate (which is tied to either the prime rate, federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, or the adjusted eurocurrency rate plus 1.00%, as defined in the credit agreement) plus a spread of 0.75% to 1.00%. 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 the Company incurring expense to compensate the lenders for their funding costs through the end of the interest period. Interest is payable quarterly. Additionally, the Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee to the lenders of between 0.25% and 0.375% per annum, depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, on the average undrawn portion available under the Revolving Facility.

The Revolving Facility contains certain covenants. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in material compliance with all applicable covenants in the credit and guaranty agreement.

The Company had $110.0 million and $60.0 million in debt outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements

In 2018 and 2019, the Company entered into repurchase agreements pursuant to which the Company sold securities (subject to an obligation to repurchase such securities at a specified future date and price) in exchange for cash, primarily to finance securities retained from the Company’s Structured Program transactions. The Company is subject to margin calls based on the fair value of the securities to be repurchased. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $121.0 million and $140.2 million in aggregate debt outstanding under its repurchase agreements, respectively, of which, at March 31, 2020, $51.7 million had contractual repurchase dates ranging from May 2020 to December 2026 and $69.3 million is subject to a repurchase date in May 2020 that requires counterparty approval to extend such repurchase date. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the repurchase agreement was converted to a daily rolling evergreen 45-day maturity structure. As of May 1, 2020, the maturity date is mid-June 2020. Margin calls based on the fair value of the securities were $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. The contractual repurchase dates correspond to either a set repurchase schedule or to the maturity dates of the underlying securities, which have a remaining weighted-average estimated life from 1.3 to 1.8 years. The repurchase agreements bear interest at a rate that is based on a benchmark of the three-month LIBOR rate or the weighted-average interest rate of the securities sold plus a spread of 0.65% to 2.50%. Securities sold are included in “Credit facilities and securities sold under repurchase agreements” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $130.2 million and $174.8 million, respectively, of underlying assets sold under repurchase agreements.

Payable to Structured Program Note and Certificate Holders

In the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020, the Company sponsored securitization transactions through master trusts consisting of $244.4 million in unsecured personal whole loans in aggregate. The trusts sold certificate participations and securities to third-party investors in an amount equal to approximately 95% of the loans for $228.7 million in net proceeds. The remaining certificate participations, securities, and residual interests were retained by the Company. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the trusts, which are consolidated. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the certificate participations and securities held by third-party investors of $206.1 million and $40.6 million are included in “Payable to Structured Program note and certificate holders at fair value” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were secured by loans held for investment and loans held for sale by the Company at fair value of $205.7 million and $40.3 million and restricted cash of $12.6 million and $2.9 million included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

14. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. In February 2020, the Company filed Certificates of Designations with the Secretary of State of Delaware to designate, of the total authorized shares of preferred stock, 1,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 600,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2020, there were 195,628 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and no shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 100 shares of LendingClub common stock upon a permissible transfer to an unaffiliated third party (subject to adjustment and the other terms described in its respective Certificate of Designations), provided that upon such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, will not own or control, in the aggregate, more than 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. A permissible transfer is a transfer (a) to the Company; (b) in a widespread public distribution; (c) in which no one transferee (or group of associated transferees) would receive 2% or more of any class of the Company’s voting securities then outstanding (including pursuant to a related series of such transfers); or (d) to a transferee that would control more than 50% of the Company voting securities (not including voting securities such person is acquiring from the transferor). The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except as otherwise required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks pari passu with the common stock, and junior to any other series of preferred stock that is issued by the Company with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding up and dissolution and as to rights to dividends, provided, however, that in case of a liquidation, winding up or dissolution the Series A Preferred Stock has a right to receive $0.01 per share before any payment is made to the holders of LendingClub common stock, and will thereafter participate on a pari passu basis with the common stock.

The Series B Preferred Stock, if issued, will (a) be nonredeemable; (b) have a minimum preferential quarterly dividend of $0.001 per share or any higher per share dividend declared on LendingClub common stock; (c) in the event of a liquidation be entitled to receive a preferred liquidation payment equal to $0.001 per share plus the per share amount paid in respect of a share of LendingClub common stock; (d) will have one vote, voting together with LendingClub common stock; and (e) in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of LendingClub common stock are exchanged, will be entitled to receive the per share amount paid in respect of each share of LendingClub common stock. The rights of holders of the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, liquidation and voting, and in the event of mergers and consolidations, are protected by customary antidilution provisions. There are no issued Series B Preferred Stock.

Issuance of Series A Preferred Stock in Exchange for Common Stock

In February 2020, the Company and Radius Bancorp, Inc. (Radius) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement), by and among the Company, a wholly owned-subsidiary of the Company, and Radius, pursuant to which the Company will acquire Radius and thereby acquire its wholly-owned subsidiary, Radius Bank (the Merger). In connection with the Merger and in order to facilitate compliance with federal banking regulations by Shanda, in February 2020, the Company also entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the Exchange Agreement) pursuant to which Shanda exchanged all of its shares of the Company’s common stock (with voting rights), or 19,562,881 shares, for Series A Preferred Stock, or 195,628 shares, and a one-time cash payment of $50.2 million. The Exchange Agreement imposes certain restrictions and obligations on Shanda so as to ensure that its ownership of LendingClub securities and activities will not impede LendingClub’s ability to obtain the necessary bank regulatory approvals.

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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

(Unaudited)

On the date of the Exchange Agreement, the effective conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock was less than the fair value of the common stock, resulting in a beneficial conversion feature that the Company recognized as a deemed dividend to the preferred stockholders and, accordingly, an adjustment to net loss to arrive at net loss attributable to common stockholders. As a result, the Company recorded the deemed dividend of $50.2 million within accumulated deficit for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Shareholder Protection Agreement

In February 2020, the board of directors of the Company adopted a Temporary Bank Charter Protection Agreement (Protection Agreement) and simultaneously declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of LendingClub common stock (each such right, a “Common Right”) and one right for each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock (each such right, a “Series A Preferred Right” and, together with the Common Rights, the “Rights”) to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 19, 2020. The Protection Agreement provides for the dilution of any person or group of persons that acquires: (i) 25% or more equity interest in the Company, or (ii) 10.0% or more of any class of the Company’s voting securities. The Rights shall be issued between March 19, 2020 and the earlier of the Merger or 18 months. Each Common Right entitles the registered holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share (a “Unit”) of Series B Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $48.00 per Unit. Each Series A Preferred Right entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Series A Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $4,800.00 per share. The Protection Agreement is effective from February 18, 2020 (Effective Date) through the earlier of the closing of the Merger or the 18 month anniversary of the Effective Date.

Retirement of treasury stock

In the first quarter 2020, we retired 467,049 shares, or $19.6 million, of common stock previously held as treasury shares. The Company also retired the 19,562,881 shares of common stock acquired from Shanda as part of the Exchange Agreement. These retirements reduced the number of issued shares of common stock by that same amount. Under the applicable state law, these shares resume the status of authorized and unissued shares upon retirement. Since the repurchase price was lower than the original issuance price, the excess of share repurchase price over par value was recorded to additional paid-in capital.

15. Employee Incentive Plans

The Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) provides for granting awards, including restricted stock units (RSUs), performance-based restricted stock units (PBRSUs) and stock options to employees, officers and directors.

	Number of Units		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested at December 31, 2019	9,597,404		$	16.78

As of March 31, 2020, there was $212.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over the next 3.2 years.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

PBRSUs are equity awards that are earned, and eligible for time-based vesting, based upon the achievement of certain pre-established performance metrics over a specific performance period. Depending on the level of achievement of the pre-established performance targets, the PBRSUs earned and eligible for time-based vesting can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount. PBRSUs granted under the Company’s EIP generally have a one-year performance period with the earned shares, if any, vesting over an additional approximately two-year 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 metrics.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company expanded the use of its PBRSU program to nearly all of the executive team. The following table summarizes the activities for the Company’s PBRSUs during the first quarter of 2020:



	Number of Units		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value

For the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $0.8 million and $0.9 million in stock-based compensation expense related to PBRSUs, respectively.

As of March 31, 2020, there was $1.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PBRSUs, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1.4 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In connection with the Company’s cost structure simplification efforts, future purchases through the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) were suspended effective upon the completion of the most recent offering period on May 10, 2019.

16. Income Taxes

For the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of $319 thousand, which is primarily attributable to the tax effects of unrealized losses recorded to other comprehensive income associated with the Company’s available for sale portfolio. The Company did not record any income tax expense during the first quarter of 2019.

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.

17. Leases

The Company has operating leases for its headquarters in San Francisco, California, as well as additional office space for its origination and servicing operations in the Salt Lake City area, Utah, and Westborough, Massachusetts. As of March 31, 2020, the lease agreements have remaining lease terms ranging from approximately one year to nine years. Some of the lease agreements include options to extend the lease term for up to an additional fifteen years and some of them include options to terminate the lease with six months’ prior notice. In addition, the Company is the sublessor of a portion of its office space in San Francisco, with lease terms of approximately two years.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company entered into an additional operating lease which has not yet commenced and is therefore not part of the table above nor included in the lease right-of-use asset and liability. This lease will commence when the Company obtains possession of the underlying asset, which is expected to be on January 1, 2021. The lease term is 8.25 years and has an undiscounted future rent payment of approximately $8.6 million.

The weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate used in the calculation of the Company’s operating lease assets and liabilities were as follows:

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Lease Commitments

For discussion regarding the Company’s operating lease commitments, see “Note 17. Leases.”

Loan Purchase Obligation

Under the Company’s loan account program with WebBank, which serves as the Company’s primary issuing bank for loans facilitated through the Company’s platform, WebBank retains ownership of the loans it originates for two business days after origination. As part of this arrangement, the Company is committed to purchase any loans that have been fully approved at par plus accrued interest, at the conclusion of the two business days. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was committed to purchase loans with an outstanding principal balance of $13.3 million and $91.3 million at par, respectively.

Loan Repurchase Obligations

The Company is generally required to repurchase loans or interests therein in the event of identity theft or certain other types of fraud on the part of the borrower or education and patient service providers. The Company may also repurchase loans or interests therein in connection with certain customer accommodations. In connection with

(Unaudited)

certain whole loan and Certificate Program sales, as well as to facilitate access to securitization markets, the Company has agreed to repurchase loans if representations and warranties made with respect to such loans are breached under certain circumstances. In the case of certain securitization transactions, the Company has also agreed to repurchase or substitute loans for which a borrower fails to make the first payment due under a loan. The Company believes such provisions 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 repurchases such loans or interests therein at par.

As a result of the loan repurchase obligations described above, the Company repurchased $1.1 million and $2.0 million in loans or interests therein during the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Purchase Commitments

As required by applicable regulations, the Company must make firm offers of credit with respect to prescreened direct mail it sends out to prospective applicants provided such applicants continue to meet the credit worthiness criteria which were used to screen them at the time of their application and the application is completed prior to the offer’s stated expiration date. If such loans are accepted by the applicants but not otherwise funded by investors on the platform, the Company is required to facilitate funding for the loans directly with its issuing bank partners at minimum amounts, which are generally below the requested loan amount. The Company was not required to purchase any such loans during the first quarter of 2020. Additionally, loans in the process of being facilitated through the Company’s platform and originated by the Company’s issuing bank partner at March 31, 2020, were substantially funded in April 2020. As of the date of this Report, no fully-approved loans remained without investor commitments. During the month of April 2020, the Company was required to purchase approximately $230 thousand of these loans.

In addition, if neither the Company nor Springstone 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, the Company and Springstone are contractually committed to purchase these loans. As of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company was required to purchase $13.2 million of loans facilitated by Springstone. These purchased loans are held on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have a fair value of $44.8 million and $45.7 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company believes it will be required to purchase additional loans facilitated by Springstone in 2020 as it seeks to arrange for other investors to invest in or purchase these loans.

Acquisition-related Commitments

On February 18, 2020, the Company and Radius entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as previously discussed in “Note 14. Stockholders' Equity”), in a cash and stock transaction valued at $185 million, subject to certain purchase price and expense adjustments of up to $22 million. The Company has entered into acquisition-related agreements, which include contingent fees of approximately $3 million as of March 31, 2020, due upon closing of the transaction.

Legal

The Company is subject to various claims brought in a litigation or regulatory context. These matters include lawsuits and federal regulatory litigation, including but not limited to putative class action lawsuits, derivative lawsuits, and litigation with the FTC. In addition, the Company continues to cooperate in federal and state regulatory examinations, investigations, and actions relating to the Company’s business practices and licensing, and is a party to a number of routine litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The majority of these claims and proceedings relate to or arise from alleged state or federal law and regulatory violations, or are alleged commercial disputes or consumer complaints. The Company accrues for costs related to contingencies when a loss from such claims is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In determining whether a loss from a claim is probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company reviews and evaluates its litigation and regulatory matters on at least a quarterly basis in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments. If the Company determines an unfavorable outcome is not probable or the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company does not accrue for a potential litigation loss. In those situations, the Company discloses an estimate or range of the reasonably possible losses, if such estimates can be made. Except as otherwise specifically noted below, at this time, the Company does not believe that it is possible to estimate the reasonably possible losses or a range of reasonably possible losses related to the matters described below.

Derivative Lawsuits

On November 6, 2017, a putative shareholder derivative action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Sawyer v. Sanborn, et al., No. 3:17-cv-06447) against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors and naming the Company as a nominal defendant. This action was based on allegations similar to those in a consolidated putative securities class action litigation (In re LendingClub Securities Litigation, No. 16-cv-02627 (N.D. Cal.)) that was successfully settled in 2018. In July 2018, the Company and the individual defendants brought a motion to dismiss the Sawyer matter on the grounds that the action was not filed within the applicable statute of limitations. The Court granted that motion and judgment was entered in favor of the defendants. The Sawyer plaintiff also attempted to intervene in a previously filed derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Stadnicki v. LaPlanche, et al., No. 3:16-cv-03072). The Company and the individual defendants opposed the intervention, and the original Stadnicki plaintiff moved to voluntarily dismiss the case. The motion to intervene was denied and the motion to voluntarily dismiss the Stadnicki action was granted. Notices of appeal were filed in both the Sawyer and Stadnicki actions. The appeal in the Sawyer matter was dismissed at the Sawyer plaintiff’s request. Oral argument in the appeal in the Stadnicki matter was heard on February 3, 2020 and on February 25, 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a ruling affirming the trial court’s denial of the Sawyer plaintiff’s motion to intervene in the Stadnicki case. It is unclear at this time whether the Sawyer plaintiff will attempt to seek further review of the Ninth Circuit’s ruling. Accordingly, it is not possible for the Company to predict the outcome of the Stadnicki action at this time.

FTC Lawsuit

In 2016, the Company received a formal request for information from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC commenced an investigation concerning certain of the Company’s policies and practices and related legal compliance.

On April 25, 2018, the FTC filed a complaint in the Northern District of California (FTC v. LendingClub Corporation, No. 3:18-cv-02454) alleging causes of action for violations of the FTC Act, including claims of deception in connection with disclosures related to the origination fee associated with loans available through the Company’s platform, and in connection with communications relating to the likelihood of loan approval during the application process, and a claim of unfairness relating to certain unauthorized charges to borrowers’ bank accounts. The FTC’s complaint also alleged a violation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act regarding the Company’s practices in

delivering its privacy notice. In June 2018, the Company brought a motion to dismiss the FTC’s complaint, which was heard on September 13, 2018. In an order dated October 3, 2018, the Court denied the motion in part and granted the motion in part, providing the FTC with leave to amend its pleadings. On October 22, 2018, the FTC filed an amended complaint which reasserted the same causes of action from the original complaint. On November 13, 2018, the Company filed an answer to the amended complaint. The FTC subsequently filed a motion seeking to strike certain affirmative defenses pled in the answer and the Company filed an opposition to the motion. On April 29, 2019, the Court issued a ruling denying the FTC’s motion in part and granting it in part and allowing the Company to replead certain of the affirmative defenses that were the subject of the FTC’s motion. The Company filed an amended answer in the case on May 29, 2019. The discovery period in the case is closed. On February 27, 2020, both the Company and the FTC filed various motions with the Court, including motions to exclude expert testimony and motions for summary judgment as to some or all of the claims in the case. The FTC also filed a motion for partial judgment on the pleadings in the case. These motions were heard by the Court on April 27, 2020. The Court has not yet issued a decision on the motions. The Court has issued scheduling orders that set various deadlines in the case, including a June 22, 2020 trial commencement date. The Company denies, and will continue to vigorously defend against, the claims asserted in this case. Notwithstanding the Company’s vigorous defense, the Company and the FTC have participated in voluntary settlement conferences and may engage in additional settlement discussions. No assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of this matter.

Class Action Lawsuits Following Announcement of FTC Litigation

In May 2018, following the announcement of the FTC’s litigation against the Company, putative shareholder class action litigation was filed in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California (Veal v. LendingClub Corporation et.al., No. 5:18-cv-02599) against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors alleging violations of federal securities laws in connection with the Company’s description of fees and compliance with federal privacy law in securities filings. The Court appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel for the litigation in November 2018. On January 7, 2019, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint which asserts the same causes of action as the original complaint and adds additional allegations. On March 8, 2019, the Company and the individual defendants in the case filed motions to dismiss the consolidated amended class action complaint. A hearing on these motions was held on September 26, 2019. On November 4, 2019, the Court issued a written order granting defendants’ motions to dismiss with leave to amend. Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint on December 19, 2019, which modifies and adds certain allegations and drops one of the former officer defendants as a defendant in the case, but otherwise advances the same causes of action. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on January 28, 2020. The Court heard argument on this motion on April 30, 2020. The Court has not yet issued a decision on this motion. This lawsuit is in the early stages. The Company denies and will vigorously defend against the allegations. No assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of this matter.

In July 2019, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in federal court in the State of New York (Shron v. LendingClub Corp., 1:19-cv-06718) alleging various claims including fraud, unjust enrichment, breach of contract, and violations of the federal Truth-in-Lending Act and New York General Business Law sections 349 and 350, et seq., based on allegations, among others, that the Company made misleading or inadequate statements or omissions in relation to the total cost and origination fee associated with loans available through the Company’s platform. The plaintiff seeks to represent classes of similarly situated individuals in the lawsuit. The Company has filed a motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff’s claims on an individual basis. The timing of a ruling on that motion is unclear. This matter is in the early stages. The Company denies and will vigorously defend against the allegations. No assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of this matter.

Derivative Lawsuits Following FTC Litigation

In July 2018, a putative shareholder derivative action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Baron v. Sanborn, et al. No. 3:18-cv-04391) against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors and naming the Company as a nominal defendant. This action is based on allegations that the individuals breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and violated federal securities laws by, among other things, permitting the actions alleged in the FTC litigation and the description of fees and other practices in the Company’s securities filings. In January 2019, a second putative shareholder derivative action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Cheekatamarla v. Sanborn, et al., No. 3:19-cv-00563) against certain of the Company’s current officers and directors and naming the Company as a nominal defendant. Like the Baron action, this action is based on allegations that the individuals breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and violated federal securities laws by, among other things, permitting the actions alleged in the FTC litigation and the description of fees and other practices in the Company’s securities filings. Pursuant to a stipulation by the parties in both of these derivative cases, the Court consolidated the two cases and stayed the consolidated action pending further developments in Veal. In September 2019, co-lead counsel for plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a notice and proposed order to lift the temporary stay and the Court issued an order lifting the stay. Subsequent to this order, the case was reassigned and the new Court issued an order staying the consolidated action pending resolution of the Veal action. No assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of this consolidated matter.

In August 2019, a putative shareholder derivative action was filed in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware (Fisher v. Sanborn, et al., Case No. 2019-0631) against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors and naming the Company as a nominal defendant. This lawsuit advances allegations similar to those in the consolidated Baron/Cheekatamarla actions and the Veal action discussed above and accuses the individual defendants of breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately monitor the Company and prevent it from engaging in the purported regulatory violations alleged by the FTC and by causing the Company to make allegedly false and misleading public statements (as alleged in the Veal action). The lawsuit also alleges that certain of the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by selling Company shares while in possession of material, non-public information. On October 11, 2019, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In November 2019, rather than oppose defendants’ motion to dismiss, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. That same month, the Company and the individual defendants named in the amended complaint filed a motion to dismiss that amended complaint. On January 17, 2020, rather than oppose defendants’ motion to dismiss, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. On January 24, 2020, defendants filed a motion to strike the second amended complaint as improper. The Court denied the defendants’ motion to strike and allowed the plaintiff to advance the second amended complaint as the operative complaint in the case. The defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint which is currently set to be heard by the Court on July 2, 2020. No assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of this matter.

Regulatory Investigation by the State of Massachusetts

In June 2018, the Company received a civil investigative demand from the office of the Attorney General of the State of Massachusetts. The investigation related to the advertisement, provision and servicing of personal loans to Massachusetts’ consumers facilitated by the Company, including the Company’s compliance with the Massachusetts Small Loan Law and the Small Loan Rate Order promulgated under it. The Company cooperated with the investigation and finalized an Assurance of Discontinuance in January 2020 with the Attorney General’s Office to resolve the investigation, the terms of which are not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2019, the Massachusetts Division of Banks raised concerns pertaining to the Company’s compliance with the Massachusetts Small Loan Law similar to those the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office raised during

(Unaudited)

its investigation of the Company. No assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of this matter; however, it could result in claims or actions against the Company, including litigation, regulatory enforcement actions, injunctions, monetary damages, fines or penalties, impact our licenses in Massachusetts, or require us to change our business practices or expend operational resources, all of which could result in a material loss or otherwise harm our business.

Regulatory Examinations and Actions Relating to the Company’s Business Practices and Licensing

The Company has been subject to periodic inquiries and enforcement actions brought by federal and state regulatory agencies relating to the Company’s business practices, the required licenses to operate its business, and its manner of operating in accordance with the requirements of its licenses. In the past, the Company has successfully resolved inquiries in a manner that was not material to its results of financial operations in any period and that did not materially limit the Company’s ability to conduct its business.

The Company has had discussions with the Colorado Department of Law (CDL) concerning the licenses required for the Company’s servicing operations and the structure of its offerings in the State of Colorado. The Company has also had discussions with the CDL about entering into a terminable agreement with the CDL to, among other things: (i) toll the statutes of limitations on any action the CDL might bring against the Company based on the rates and charges on loans the Company facilitates and (ii) refrain from facilitating certain loans to borrowers located in Colorado available for investment by certain investors. No assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of this matter.

The Company is routinely subject to examination for compliance with applicable laws and regulations in the states in which it is licensed. As of the date of this Report, the Company is subject to examination by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) and other regulators. The Company periodically has discussions with various regulatory agencies regarding its business model and has engaged in similar discussions with the NYDFS. During the course of such discussions with the NYDFS, which remain ongoing, the Company decided to voluntarily comply with certain rules and regulations of the NYDFS. No assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of this matter or others if or as they arise.

Putative Class Actions

In September 2018, a lawsuit was filed against the Company in the State of New York (Accardo v. Lending Club, et al., 2:18-cv-05030-JS-AKT) asserting an individual claim under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act against the Company. In early 2019, the plaintiff filed a motion for leave to amend his complaint in the case to assert a putative class claim under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The plaintiff’s proposed amended complaint contends that LendingClub failed to conduct a reasonable investigation into plaintiff’s identity theft dispute and plaintiff seeks to represent a class of similarly situated individuals. The Company filed an opposition to plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend and also filed a motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff’s claim against the Company on an individual basis. The Court denied the Company’s motion to compel arbitration and ordered a trial on whether an arbitration agreement exists between the Company and Plaintiff. The Court also denied without prejudice Plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend. The Company has finalized a settlement with the plaintiff to resolve this matter, the terms of which are not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations. This matter is now concluded.

In February 2020, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the U.S District Court for the Northern District of California (Erceg v. LendingClub Corporation, No. 3:20-cv-01153). The lawsuit alleges violations of California and Massachusetts law based on allegations that LendingClub recorded a call with plaintiff without notifying him that it would be recorded. Plaintiff seeks to represent a purported class of similarly situated individuals who had phone calls recorded by LendingClub without their knowledge and consent. LendingClub filed

(Unaudited)

a motion to dismiss certain of plaintiff’s claims, strike nationwide class allegations, and, alternatively, to stay the litigation. No assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of this matter.

California Private Attorneys General Lawsuit

In September 2018, a putative action under the California Private Attorney General Act was brought against the Company in the California Superior Court (Brott v. LendingClub Corporation, et al., CGC-18-570047) alleging violations of the California Labor Code. The complaint by a former employee alleges that the Company improperly failed to pay certain hourly employees for all wages owed, pay the correct rate of pay including overtime, and provide accurate wage statements. The lawsuit alleges that the plaintiff and aggrieved employees are entitled to recover civil penalties under the California Labor Code. On January 11, 2019, the Company filed a petition to compel arbitration of the plaintiff’s claims and stay the litigation pending a ruling on the motion and arbitration of the matter. Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, in March 2019, the Court issued an order staying the lawsuit pending the parties’ participation in a mediation in September 2019. The parties have reached a resolution of this matter, the terms of which are not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The resolution will require court approval. The parties have finalized a written settlement agreement and will seek the Court’s approval of the negotiated resolution.

Certain Financial Considerations Relating to Litigation and Investigations

With respect to the matters discussed above, the Company had $14.8 million and $16.0 million in accrued contingent liabilities at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

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. No assurance can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of any of these matters.

19. 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 loan product types of personal, education and patient finance, and auto. These product types are individually reviewed as operating segments but are aggregated to represent one reportable segment because the education and patient finance and auto loan product types are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company sold certain assets relating to its small business operating segment and announced that it will connect applicants looking for a small business loan with strategic partners and earn referral fees, instead of facilitating these loans on its platform.

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.

20. 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 lending marketplace or certificate investment program. Any material amendment or modification to an existing related party transaction is also subject to the review and approval of the Audit Committee. Related party transactions may include any transaction between entities under common control or with a related person that has occurred since the beginning of the Company’s latest fiscal year or is currently proposed. The Company has defined

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

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 person, 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 or interests therein. 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.

In February 2020, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with its largest stockholder, Shanda, pursuant to which, on March 20, 2020, Shanda exchanged all of 19,562,881 shares of LendingClub common stock held by it for (i) 195,628 newly issued shares of mandatorily convertible, non-voting, LendingClub preferred stock, series A, both with a par value of $0.01 per share, and (ii) a one-time cash payment of $50.2 million. See “Note 14. Stockholders' Equity,” for additional information.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had a $7.8 million investment and an approximate 22% ownership interest in an Investment Fund, a private fund that participates in a family of funds with other unrelated third parties. This family of funds purchases whole loans and interests in loans from the Company, as well as other assets from third parties unrelated to the Company. The Company’s investment in the Investment Fund is recorded in “Other assets” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the first quarter of 2019, the family of funds purchased $77 thousand of whole loans. The family of funds did not purchase whole loans during the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, the Company earned $15 thousand and $28 thousand in investor fees from this family of funds, and paid interest of $66 thousand and $327 thousand on the funds’ interests in whole loans, respectively. The Company believes that the investor fees charged were on terms and conditions that were not more favorable than those obtained by other third-party investors. The Investment Fund provides audited financial statements annually and periodic investment statements throughout each calendar year on a delayed basis, which are used by the Company to evaluate performance and recoverability of our investment.

21. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated the impact of events that have occurred subsequent to March 31, 2020, through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were filed with the SEC. Based on this evaluation, other than as recorded or disclosed within these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, including as disclosed below, the Company has determined no additional subsequent events were required to be recognized or disclosed.

On April 20, 2020, the Company approved a restructuring plan to address the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business. The restructuring plan includes workforce reductions affecting approximately 460 employees, or approximately 30% of the Company’s workforce, including one named executive of the Company. The Company expects to incur total pre-tax restructuring and related charges of approximately $10 million during the remainder of 2020, of which approximately $1 million represents an employee relief plan to assist impacted employees through this challenging time and the remainder represents future cash expenditures for the payment of severance and related benefits costs, with final payment before the end of the calendar year. There is a minimal retention period, and Company expects to expense a majority of the severance and related benefit costs in the second quarter of 2020.

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

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, and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (Annual Report). The forward-looking statements included in this Report are made only as of the date hereof.

Overview

LendingClub was incorporated in Delaware on October 2, 2006, and is the largest marketplace of unsecured personal loans in the United States. We operate America’s largest online lending marketplace platform that connects borrowers and investors. LendingClub provides tools that help Americans save money on their path to financial health through lower borrowing costs and a seamless, technology-driven user experience. Investors provide capital to enable the funding of loans in exchange for earning competitive risk adjusted returns. Our marketplace enables efficient credit decisioning, pricing, servicing and support operations. We operate fully online with no traditional branch infrastructure. Our vision is to expand our marketplace model and support it with a bank charter, which we believe will be both strategically and financially accretive to the Company.

We generate revenue primarily from transaction fees from our lending marketplace’s role in marketing to customers, 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, gains on sales of loans sold, net interest income and fair value adjustments from loans invested in by the Company and held on our balance sheet.

The transaction fees we receive from our issuing bank partner in connection with our lending marketplace’s role in facilitating loan originations for unsecured personal loans and auto refinance loans range from 0% to 6% of the initial principal amount of the loan. In addition, for education and patient finance loans, we collect fees from issuing banks and from the related education and patient service providers.

Net interest income and fair value adjustments reflect earned interest income and assumed principal and interest rate risk on loans during the period that we own the loans. When we use our own capital to invest in loans, we earn interest income and record fair value adjustments attributable to changes in actual and expected credit and prepayment performance, or any difference between sale price and carrying value.

Investor fees paid to us vary based on investment channel and compensate us for the costs we incur in servicing loans, including managing payments from borrowers, collections, payments to investors, maintaining investors’ account portfolios, providing information and issuing monthly statements. Whole loan purchasers pay a monthly weighted-average fee of up to 0.9% per annum and Structured Program investors pay a monthly fee of up to 1%, which is generally based on the month-end principal balance of loans serviced by us.

Gain (Loss) on sales of loans connected to loan sale transactions are recognized based on the level to which the contractual loan servicing fee is above or below an estimated market rate loan servicing fee. Additionally, we recognize transactions costs as a loss on sale of loans.

Personal loan volume on our platform is generally lower in the first quarter of the year, primarily due to seasonality of borrower behavior. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of the year, we typically observe fluctuations in marketing

effectiveness and borrower behavior due to the holidays, which can impact volume. These seasonal trends contribute to fluctuations in our operating results and operating cash flow.

Loans facilitated through our lending marketplace are funded by the sale of whole loans to banks and other institutional investors, the sale of whole loans facilitated through Structured Programs, the issuance of notes to our self-directed retail investors, or funded directly by the Company with its own capital. We use our capital to fund the purchase of loans for our Structured Program transactions, to support marketplace equilibrium when a matching third-party investor is not available at time of origination, to reflect changes in market value through loan pricing, to test new product offerings, and to make accommodations to customers. The Company’s Structured Program transactions include (i) asset-backed securitization transactions and (ii) Certificate Program transactions. Certificate Program transactions include CLUB Certificate and Levered Certificate transactions.

In connection with asset-backed securitizations, the Company is the sponsor and establishes trusts to ultimately purchase the loans from the Company and/or third-party whole loan investors. Securities issued from our asset-backed securitizations are senior or subordinated based on the waterfall criteria of loan payments to each security class. The subordinated residual interests issued from these transactions are first to absorb credit losses in accordance with the waterfall criteria. The loans are transferred into a trust such that the loans are legally isolated from the creditors of the Company and are not available to satisfy obligations of the Company. These loans can only be used to settle obligations of the underlying trusts. As the sponsor for securitization transactions, the Company manages the completion of the transaction.

In addition, the Company sponsors the sale of loans through the issuance of certificate securities under our Certificate Program. The Certificate securities are collateralized by loans transferred to a series of a master trust and trade in the over-the-counter market with a CUSIP. We believe the sale of certificates results in more liquidity and demand for our unsecured personal loans. The loans are transferred into a trust such that the loans are legally isolated from the creditors of the Company and are not available to satisfy the obligations of the Company. These loans can only be used to settle obligations of the underlying Certificate Program trusts. The CLUB Certificate issued securities are pass-through securities of which each owner has an undivided and equal interest in the underlying loans of each transaction. The Levered Certificate issued securities includes senior and subordinated securities based on the waterfall criteria of loan payments to each security class. The subordinated securities issued from these transactions are first to absorb credit losses in accordance with the waterfall criteria.

Current Economic and Business Environment

Our online lending marketplace platform seeks to adapt to changing marketplace conditions and investors’ return on investment expectations. LendingClub monitors a variety of economic, credit and competitive indicators to propose changes to issuing banks’ credit policies and interest rates.

COVID-19 Update:

COVID-19 is having an unprecedented effect on consumers, small businesses and the broader economy, including the credit markets. Further, there is substantial dislocation in the capital markets and constraints on investor capital. Reduced investor demand for unsecured personal loans, along with reduced availability of capital, has resulted in (i) a reduction in loan originations on our platform to $140 million in April 2020, a reduction from pre-COVID-19 Q1 2020 origination levels of approximately 90%, and (ii) increased investor concentration on our platform. Although we expect recent volatility in origination levels and the number of investors participating on the platform to eventually stabilize, we are not currently anticipating that to occur at least until unemployment stabilizes and credit performance is better understood and observed in light of the impact of COVID-19 and the availability of liquidity normalizes.

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)

In response to the impact of COVID-19, we have undertaken a number of measures intended to protect platform investor returns, better serve our borrowers and enhance our ability to navigate the current economic environment. These include making hardship plans available to our borrowers to assist with payment options on their loans and, in response to reduced platform investor demand, the following measures intended to preserve the $294.3 million in cash and cash equivalents held by the Company as of March 31, 2020:


◦	Restructuring and repositioning the Company through a workforce reduction of approximately 30%


◦	Ceasing the purchasing of loans for Structured Program transactions

During this period of volatility in the economy and consumer credit, the Company will continue to generate revenue from (i) interest income from loans held by the Company and securities available for sale, (ii) investor fees for performing servicing of assets under management, and (iii) transaction fees generated for new loans originated. We believe that under a range of scenarios with conservative assumptions, we will still have adequate liquidity and capital to navigate through the current environment.

Investor: There has been a reduction in investor demand on our platform reflecting market dislocation for unsecured personal loans driven in part by wider credit spreads and increased liquidity constraints. Similarly, the Company has temporarily ceased purchasing loans to preserve capital due to the lack of investor demand for our Structured Program transactions and whole loan sales. The reduction in investor demand on our platform has had a direct impact on the reduction in loan originations and transaction fees earned by the Company from our issuing banks. In April 2020, loan originations volume was $140 million, a reduction of approximately 90% to pre-COVID-19 Q1 2020 origination levels. The reduction in investor demand has furthered investor concentration to a limited number of purchasers that are continuing to purchase loans but are currently doing so at lower volumes relative to historical purchasing activity. Although we collect transaction fees from issuing banks, the banks generate these fees through the loans paid for by the borrower. Our transaction fees are being further concentrated among fewer investors as transaction fees reflect the loan volume being purchased by investors that are purchasing the loans on our platform.

Borrower: In March 2020, the Company tightened credit availability on our platform, suspended the facilitation of grade D and near-prime loans, and increased interest rates on loan grades A through C by between 2% and 4%. With respect to existing borrowers, the Company is offering relief to borrowers impacted by COVID-19 through deferrals of loan payments. Given volatility in the financial stability of consumers and unprecedented increases in unemployment, we are continuously evaluating our underwriting processes and policies, including the effectiveness of our scoring models. As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2020, we have designed a hardship plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenge it has presented to our borrowers, that allows eligible borrowers to skip up to two monthly payments (Skip-a-Pay). Eligible borrowers participating in Skip-a-Pay have the terms of their existing loan extended for a commensurate period, which impacts the duration and payment date for any member payment dependent note related to participating loans. Further, an investor's internal rate of return on such notes may also be impacted. As the current regulatory environment for loan forgiveness or waivers of missed payments evolves, our programs which address these topics may evolve over time as well. In light of the shifting landscape, additional payment plans are actively being developed and considered for implementation. As of April 30, 2020, approximately 11% of our outstanding personal loans have been enrolled in Skip-a-Pay.

Restructuring: On April 21, 2020, the Company disclosed a restructuring plan to address the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business by repositioning the Company’s expense base to better reflect the reduction in loan volume and better position the Company for profitability to achieve its strategic goals when the economy and business stabilizes. The restructuring plan includes workforce reductions affecting approximately 460 employees. The Company expects to incur total pre-tax restructuring and related charges of approximately $10 million during the remainder of 2020. The impact of the reduction in workforce is estimated to lower our ongoing quarterly cash compensation expense by approximately $17 million and stock-based compensation expense by approximately $4 million.

Liquidity: As of March 31, 2020, our balance sheet includes $294.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, securities available for sale of $256.6 million (which included $130.2 million of securities pledged as collateral) and loans held for sale by the Company at fair value of $741.7 million (which included $499.8 million of loans at fair value pledged as collateral). The loans held for sale by the Company of $741.7 million includes $127.7 million held by consolidated Structured Program transactions where the risk of any loss is held by third parties. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information.

Q1 Results of Operations:

Our balance sheet and income statement are sensitive to estimates of future borrower credit losses and prepayment expectations and investor liquidity premiums for our assets (including unsecured personal loans and securities backed by unsecured personal loans). Because there is not yet consensus about the economic impact of COVID-19, we are relying on a variety of data points to forecast its impact, which and at what volume of loans to facilitate for borrowers, and the volume and method of purchase of investments in those loans by individuals and institutions. An important consideration in loan performance is unemployment and we have utilized third-party unemployment forecasts to assist us in estimating borrower credit loss and prepayment forecasts. These forecasts require significant management judgment by the Company due to an unprecedented level of unemployment, wide range of market estimates, the uncertain impact of government stimulus response and overall market dislocation due to COVID-19. Using these forecasts, the Company has estimated a COVID-19 related increase in credit losses of approximately 50%, and a reduction in prepayments of approximately 40% for loans originated in the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020. In addition, using these forecasts, the Company estimated a liquidity premium ranging from 2% to 4% for our unsecured personal loans and certain securities without observable market trades based on increases of interest rates on our platform. The liquidity premium for securities with observable market trades was based on those market prices and information we receive from security pricing services.

The primary impacts of these forecasts included:


•	Total net fair value adjustments of $(101.7) million, of which $(64) million related to the COVID-19 updated forecasts for credit losses and liquidity premiums;


•	$14 million of transaction fee revenue and $9 million of investor fee revenue related to a reduction of forecasted prepayments


•	Net unrealized losses of $20.7 million recorded in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” related to liquidity premiums for securities available for sale.

Net fair value adjustment – Total net fair value adjustment of $(101.7) million is primarily attributable to an increase in estimated credit losses, a reduction in estimated prepayments and an increase in the estimated liquidity premium as a result of COVID-19. The COVID-19 impact on assets on our balance sheet reflected in net fair value adjustments is approximately $(64) million, of which approximately $(38) million is related to credit and prepayment estimates and approximately $(26) million is related to liquidity premium.

Transaction fees – In March 2020, we observed a reduction in loan origination volume due to COVID-19, which drove an overall decrease in our platform volume and resulted in loan originations of $2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2020. Transaction fee revenue was lower due to this reduction in volume, which was partially offset by $14 million of revenue from a reduction in our transaction fee refund liability owed to borrowers reflecting a decrease in estimated prepayments.

Investor fees – The fair value of the servicing asset is impacted by changes in prepayment estimates. With significantly reduced estimated prepayments, we expect to collect more servicing fees in the future that could be partially offset by a reduction in collections from borrowers on delinquent loans, which we are continuing to

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)

monitor. The decrease in estimated prepayments resulted in a net positive fair value impact of approximately $9 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Loan Origination Update:

In the first quarter of 2020, our marketplace facilitated $2.5 billion of loan originations, of which $1.1 billion was issued through whole loan sales, $1.3 billion was purchased or pending purchase by the Company, and $95.3 million was issued through member payment dependent notes. Loans held by the Company at quarter end are available loan inventory for future Structured Program transactions and whole loan sales, excluding loans held by the Company as a result of consolidated trusts.

The following table shows the loan origination volume issued, loans purchased or pending purchase by the Company, and the available loan inventory as of the end of each period set forth below (in millions):



	March 31, 2020			December 31, 2019			September 30, 2019
Loan originations	$	2,521.5		$	3,083.1		$	3,349.6
Loans purchased or pending purchase by the Company during the quarter	$	1,302.4		$	1,749.2		$	1,543.5
LendingClub inventory ⁽¹⁾	$	510.8		$	718.2		$	755.2
LendingClub inventory as a percentage of loan originations ⁽¹⁾	20		%	23		%	23		%


⁽¹⁾	LendingClub inventory reflects loans purchased or pending purchase by the Company during the period, excluding loans held by the Company through consolidated trusts, if applicable, and not yet sold as of the period end.

Loan inventory purchased by LendingClub was 20% of total loan originations during the first quarter of 2020. This decrease since the fourth quarter of 2019 was due to lower volumes of loans purchased by LendingClub during March 2020 due to COVID-19.

Because of timing differences between changes in market interest rates, interest rates on loans, credit performance and investor yield expectations, there may be a difference between the actual yield on a loan and the yield required by an investor on a loan. This allows us to adjust the effective yield on a loan through its sale price, thereby maintaining marketplace equilibrium. Any discount to par will result in negative fair value adjustments.

Radius Acquisition:

On February 18, 2020, the Company and Radius Bancorp, Inc. (Radius) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, a wholly owned-subsidiary of the Company, and Radius, pursuant to which the Company will acquire Radius and thereby acquire its wholly-owned subsidiary, Radius Bank (the Merger). The Company believes that acquiring Radius and operating with a national bank charter will enhance LendingClub’s ability to serve its members, grow its market opportunity, increase and diversify revenue and earnings, and provide both funding resilience and regulatory clarity. The Merger will be accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price of $185 million, subject to certain adjustments, will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the acquisition date.

In order to facilitate compliance with federal banking regulations, on March 20, 2020, the Company’s largest stockholder, Shanda Asset Management Holdings Limited and its affiliates (Shanda), exchanged all shares of the Company’s common stock held by it for newly issued non-voting convertible preferred stock, series A (the Exchange). In connection with the Exchange, the Company provided Shanda certain registration rights and paid Shanda a one-time cash payment of approximately $50.2 million, which is recorded as a deemed dividend in stockholders’ equity. To deter future ownership positions in the Company’s securities in excess of thresholds set

forth by the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act, on February 18, 2020, the Company adopted a Temporary Bank Charter Protection Agreement (the Charter Protection Agreement) which provides for the dilution of any person or group of persons that acquires: (i) 25% or more equity interest in the Company, or (ii) 10% or more of any class of the Company’s voting securities. The Charter Protection Agreement will automatically expire on the earlier of the closing of the Merger or 18 months after its adoption.

Factors That Can Affect Revenue

As an operator of a lending marketplace, we work to match the supply of loans facilitated through our platform and demand from investors 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, we have been increasingly utilizing our balance sheet to support Structured Program transactions, manage marketplace equilibrium, hold loans for testing new or existing loan products and repurchase loans that did not meet an investor’s criteria. In most instances, we subsequently sell those loans, recognizing a gain or loss on their sale.

Loan supply, which is partly driven by borrower-related activities within our business, combined with investor demand to purchase loans on our platform as well as our own loan purchases, can affect our revenue in any particular period. These drivers collectively affect transaction fees, investor fees earned by us related to these transactions, interest income, fair value adjustments and other revenue related to loans held on balance sheet, including the performance of such loans. 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:


•	the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;


•	the impact of government stimulus programs;


•	our ability to navigate adverse economic circumstances;


•	investor demand for our loans;


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


•	loan performance and return on investment;


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


•	announcements and terms of resolution of governmental inquiries or private litigation;


•	our ability to obtain or add bank functionality and a bank charter, through the acquisition of Radius Bancorp, Inc. or otherwise;


•	the impact on the business from obtaining or adding bank functionality and bank charter;


•	the mix of borrower products and corresponding transaction fees;


•	regulatory or market factors which limit products on our platform or loan interest rates borrowers can pay;


•	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, through changes in interest rates, transaction fees, terms, or risk profile;


•	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;

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)


•	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 lowest in the first quarter and also impacts the fourth quarter;


•	determination to hold loans for purposes of subsequently distributing the loans through sale or Structured Program transactions;


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


•	the success of our models to predict borrower risk levels and related investor demand; and


•	other factors.

At any point in time we have loan applications in various stages from initial application through issuance. Depending upon the timing and impact of the factors described above, loans may not be issued by the issuing banks who originate loans facilitated through our marketplace 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. Consistent with our revenue recognition accounting policy under GAAP, we do not recognize the transaction fee revenue associated with a loan until the loan is issued by the issuing bank and the proceeds are delivered to the borrower. Our transaction fees are generally paid by the issuing bank (which collects an origination fee from the borrower), or in the case of education and patient finance loans, may also be paid by the medical or education service provider, and are accordingly independent of who is investing in a loan or how a loan is invested in.

Key Operating and Financial Metrics

We regularly review several metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. The following presents our key operating and financial metrics:

Loan Originations

We believe the volume of loans facilitated through our platform and originated by our issuing banks is a key indicator of the attractiveness of our lending marketplace, growth of our brand, scale of our business, economic competitiveness of our products and future growth.

We classify the loans facilitated by our platform into three major loan products: standard program personal loans, custom program personal loans and other loans. The majority of the loans facilitated through our platform are standard program personal loans that represent loans made to prime borrowers that are available to institutional investors, private investors and public investors (in the form of member payment dependent notes). Custom program personal loans include all other personal loans to borrowers who are not eligible for our standard program, including loans primarily made to near-prime and super-prime borrowers, and are available only to private investors. Other loans are comprised of education and patient finance loans, auto refinance loans, and small business loans. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company announced that it will connect applicants looking for a small business loan with strategic partners and earn referral fees, instead of facilitating these loans on its platform. As a result, beginning in the third quarter of 2019 the “Other loans” category presented in the table below no longer includes small business loans.

Loan origination volume and weighted-average transaction fees (as a percent of origination balance) by major loan products are as follows:



	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2020				December 31, 2019				March 31, 2019
(in millions, except percentages)	Origination Volume		Weighted- Average Transaction Fee		Origination Volume		Weighted- Average Transaction Fee		Origination Volume		Weighted- Average Transaction Fee
Personal loans – standard program	$	1,771.0	5.67	%	$	2,087.5	5.01	%	$	1,928.4	5.08	%
Personal loans – custom program	572.5		5.62	%	816.5		4.96	%	585.5		4.80	%
Total personal loans	2,343.5		5.66	%	2,904.0		4.99	%	2,513.9		5.02	%
Other loans	178.0		2.06	%	179.1		2.78	%	213.9		4.32	%
Total	$	2,521.5	5.40	%	$	3,083.1	4.86	%	$	2,727.8	4.96	%

The increase in the total weighted-average transaction fee during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019 and fourth quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by an increase in transaction revenue as a result of a decrease in transaction fee liabilities owed to borrowers due to lower prepayment expectations.

Credit and pricing policy changes made by the Company during 2019 and into 2020 resulted in a change in the mix of personal loan origination volume from higher risk grades E and F to lower risk A through D grades. These changes broadly focused on tightening credit to shift overall platform mix towards lower risk and higher credit quality borrowers.

Transaction Fees

Transaction fees are fees paid by issuing banks or education and patient service providers to us for the work we perform in facilitating the origination of loans by our issuing bank partners. With respect to all unsecured personal loans and auto refinance loans for which WebBank acts as the issuing bank, we record transaction fee revenue net of program fees paid to WebBank. The fees on these loans are based upon the terms of the loan, including grade, rate, term, channel and other factors. As of March 31, 2020, these fees ranged from 0% to 6% of the initial principal amount of a loan.

Transaction fees were $136.2 million and $135.4 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of 1%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in transaction revenue as a result of a decrease in transaction fee liabilities owed to borrowers due to lower prepayment expectations, offset by a decrease in origination volume. Loans facilitated through our lending marketplace decreased to $2.5 billion for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $2.7 billion for the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 8%. The average transaction fee as a percentage of the initial principal balance of the loan was 5.40% for the first quarter of 2020 compared to 4.96% for the first quarter of 2019.

Transaction fees were $136.2 million and $150.0 million for the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively, a decrease of 9%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in origination volume, partially offset by an increase in transaction revenue as a result of a decrease in transaction fee liabilities owed to borrowers due to

lower prepayment expectations. Loans facilitated through our lending marketplace decreased to $2.5 billion for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $3.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of 18%. The average transaction fee as a percentage of the initial principal balance of the loan was 5.40% for the first quarter of 2020 compared to 4.86% for the fourth quarter of 2019.

In April 2020, we recognized approximately $1.7 million in transaction fee revenue associated with the issuance of loans for which the loan application process had commenced prior to the end of the first quarter of 2020. In April 2019, we recognized approximately $6.6 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 first quarter of 2019.

Net Interest Income and Fair Value Adjustments

Loans Invested in by the Company: The Company purchases loans to support Structured Program transactions. We earn interest income and assume principal and interest rate risk on loans during the period we own the loans. We have financed a portion of the purchase of these loans with draws on our credit facilities and the associated interest expense reduces net interest income. Fair value adjustments on loans invested in by the Company are generally negative due to interest cash flow receipts and if there are expected increases and any acceleration in the timing of expected charge-offs and prepayments. As we continue to use our own capital to invest in loans for strategic business purposes, we expect the net negative fair value adjustments on loans to fluctuate due to the impact of current economic conditions, discounts offered to meet yield expectations of our loan investors and the holding period of the loans.

Loans, Notes, Certificates and Secured Borrowings: We do not assume principal or interest rate risk on loans facilitated through our lending marketplace that are funded by notes, certificates and certain secured borrowings because loan balances, interest rates and maturities are matched and offset by an equal balance of notes, certificates or secured borrowings with the exact same interest rates and maturities. The changes in fair value of loans, notes, certificates and secured borrowings are shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a net basis. Due to the payment dependent feature of the notes, certificates and secured borrowings, fair value adjustments on loans funded with notes, certificates and secured borrowings result in no net effect on our earnings, except for changes in fair value of any applicable credit support agreements related to secured borrowings.

Interest income associated with loans invested in by the Company, securities available for sale, and cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $34.0 million and $33.7 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of 1%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average outstanding balance of securities available for sale. The impact of the increase in the outstanding balance of loans invested in by the Company was offset by the mix shift to higher credit quality loans with lower interest rates.

Interest income associated with loans invested in by the Company, securities available for sale, and cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash remained relatively flat at $34.0 million and $33.9 million for the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively.

Interest expense associated with credit facilities, securities sold under repurchase agreements and securitization notes and certificates remained relatively flat at $8.9 million for both the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, due to an increase in the average outstanding balance of credit facilities, offset by a decrease in the average outstanding balance of securitization notes and certificates.

Interest expense associated with credit facilities, securities sold under repurchase agreements and securitization notes and certificates was $8.9 million and $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively, an increase of 6%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average outstanding balance of securitization notes and certificates, partially offset by a decrease in the average outstanding balance of credit facilities.

Net fair value adjustments were $(101.7) million and $(34.7) million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of 193%. The increase was primarily due to changes in market conditions as a result of COVID-19, including an increase in estimated expected credit losses and an increase in liquidity premium on loans and securities available for sale. See “Current Economic and Business Environment” section for additional discussion.

Interest income from loans held for investment and the offsetting interest expense from notes, certificates and secured borrowings were both $35.4 million and $66.5 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of 47%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average outstanding balances of loans held for investment and notes, certificates and secured borrowings, due to a larger portion of loans originated being sold to whole loan investors and purchases by the Company for Structured Program transactions.

The Company receives fees to compensate us for the costs we incur in servicing a loan, including managing payments from borrowers, collections, payments to investors, maintaining investors’ account portfolios, providing information, and issuing monthly statements. The amount of investor fee revenue earned is predominantly affected by the servicing rates paid by investors, the outstanding principal balance of loans and the amount of principal and interest collected from borrowers and remitted to 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 in “Gain on sales of loans” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investor fees – whole loans sold: Investor fee revenue related to the servicing of whole loans sold was $36.9 million and $24.6 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of 50%. The increase was primarily due to a higher principal balance of whole loans serviced, increases in charged-off loan sales and delinquent loan collections, and an increase in the fair value of servicing rights due to lower prepayment estimates as a result of changes in current economic conditions due to COVID-19.

Investor fee revenue related to the servicing of whole loans sold was $36.9 million and $25.3 million for the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively, an increase of 46%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the fair value of servicing rights, due to lower prepayment estimates as a result of changes in current economic conditions due to COVID-19, and increases in charged-off loan sales and delinquent loan collections.

Investor fees – notes, certificates and secured borrowings: Investor fee revenue related to the servicing of loans underlying notes, certificates and secured borrowings was $4.9 million and $7.1 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of 31%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in delinquent loan collections and a lower principal balance of loans serviced, partially offset by an increase in charged-off loan sales.

Investor fee revenue related to the servicing of loans underlying notes, certificates and secured borrowings remained relatively flat at $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $5.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Gain (Loss) on Sales of Loans

In connection with loan sales and Structured Program transactions, 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 level to which the contractual loan servicing fee is above or below an estimated market rate loan servicing fee. Additionally, we recognize transaction costs as a loss on sale of loans.

Gain on sales of loans was $14.3 million and $15.2 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of 6%. The decrease was primarily due to higher transaction costs associated with additional Structured Program transactions in the first quarter of 2020, which are recorded as an offset to the gain on sales of loans.

Gain on sales of loans was $14.3 million and $20.4 million for the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively, a decrease of 30%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the volume of loans sold that resulted in lower gains on sales of loans.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, origination and servicing, engineering and product development and other general and administrative expenses, as described below.

Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of borrower and investor acquisition efforts, including costs attributable to marketing and selling the loans facilitated through the platform we operate. This includes costs of building general brand awareness, and salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense related to our sales and marketing team.

Origination and Servicing: Origination and servicing expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense and vendor costs attributable to activities that most directly relate to facilitating the origination of loans 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 our engineering and product management teams, information security and technology risk 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, amortization and impairment 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.

Sales and marketing: Sales and marketing expense was $49.8 million and $66.6 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of 25%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in variable marketing expenses based on lower loan origination volume and a decrease in personnel-related expenses for full-time employees. Sales and marketing expense as a percent of loan originations decreased to 1.97% in the first quarter of 2020 from 2.44% in the first quarter of 2019 as a result of the Company’s cost structure simplification efforts, as well as improvements in customer acquisition targeting models.

Sales and marketing expense was $49.8 million and $67.2 million for the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively, a decrease of 26%.

Sales and marketing expense as a percent of loan originations decreased to 1.97% in the first quarter of 2020 from 2.18% in the fourth quarter of 2019 as a result of continued marketing channel mix optimization.

Origination and servicing: Origination and servicing expense was $21.0 million and $28.3 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of 26%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel-related expenses for full-time employees associated with the relocation of our origination and servicing operations from San Francisco, California to the Salt Lake City area, partially offset by incremental loan processing and servicing costs.

Origination and servicing expense was $21.0 million and $22.2 million for the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively, a decrease of 5%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in loan processing and servicing costs.

Engineering and product development: Engineering and product development expense was $38.7 million and $42.5 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of 9%. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in depreciation and impairment expense and software expense. In addition, personnel-related expenses for full-time employees decreased from the first quarter of 2019, which was partially offset by an increased use of outsourced service providers.

We capitalized $10.6 million and $10.7 million in software development costs for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Engineering and product development expense was $38.7 million and $41.1 million for the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively, a decrease of 6%. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in depreciation and impairment expense and software expense.

Other general and administrative expense: Other general and administrative expense was $58.5 million and $56.9 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of 3%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in expenses related to the acquisition of Radius, partially offset by a decrease in facilities expense.

Other general and administrative expense was $58.5 million and $57.6 million for the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, respectively, an increase of 2%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in expenses related to the acquisition of Radius and personnel-related expenses resulting from a higher headcount for full-time employees, partially offset by a decrease in other professional services.

Income Taxes

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has determined that neither the CARES Act nor changes to income tax laws or regulations in other jurisdictions have a significant impact on our effective tax rate.

We continue 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. We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Supplemental Financial Information

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating our operating results. We believe that Contribution, Contribution Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted EPS) and Net Cash and Other Financial Assets 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 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 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.


•	Although depreciation, impairment and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated, impaired 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.


•	These measures 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, adjusted to exclude cost structure simplification and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses within these captions and income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. These costs represent the costs that are most directly related to generating such revenue. The adjustment for cost structure simplification expense relates to a review of our cost structure and a number of expense initiatives underway, including the establishment of a site in the Salt Lake City area. The expense includes incremental and excess personnel-related expenses associated with establishing our Salt Lake City area site and external advisory fees. 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 Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income (loss) attributable to LendingClub adjusted to exclude certain items that are either non-recurring, do not contribute directly to management’s evaluation of its operating results, or non-cash items, such as (1) expenses related to our cost structure simplification as discussed above, (2) goodwill impairment, (3) legal, regulatory and other expense related to legacy issues, and (4) acquisition and related expenses and (5) other items (consisting of certain non-legacy litigation and/or regulatory settlement expenses, gains on disposal of certain assets, and expenses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic), net of tax. Legacy items are generally those expenses that arose from the decisions of legacy management prior to the board review initiated in 2016 and resulted in the resignation of our former CEO, including legal and other costs associated with ongoing regulatory and government investigations, indemnification obligations, litigation, and termination of certain legacy contracts. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we added an adjustment to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for “Acquisition and related expenses” to adjust for costs related to the acquisition of Radius. In the second quarter of 2019, we added an adjustment to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for “Other items” to adjust for expenses or gains that are not part of our core operating results. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is an important measure because it directly reflects the financial performance of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income (loss) attributable to LendingClub adjusted to exclude certain items that are either non-recurring, do not contribute directly to management's evaluation of its operating results, or non-cash items, such as (1) cost structure simplification expense, (2) goodwill impairment, (3) legal, regulatory and other expense related to legacy issues, (4) acquisition and related expenses, (5) other items, as discussed above, (6) depreciation, impairment and amortization expense, (7) stock-based compensation expense and (8) income tax expense.

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

Supplemental Financial Information

The following table is provided to delineate between the assets and liabilities belonging to our member payment dependent self-directed retail program (Retail Program) note holders and certain VIEs that we are required to consolidate in accordance with GAAP. Such assets are not legally ours and the associated liabilities are payable only from the cash flows generated by those assets (i.e. Pass-throughs). As such, these debt holders do not have a secured interest in any other assets of LendingClub. We believe this is a useful measure because it illustrates the overall financial stability and operating leverage of the Company.

⁽¹⁾ Represents loans held for investment at fair value that are funded directly by our Retail Program notes. The liabilities are only payable from the cash flows generated by the associated assets. We do not assume principal or interest rate risk on loans facilitated through our lending marketplace that are funded by our Retail Program because loan balances, interest rates and maturities are matched and offset by an equal balance of notes with the exact same interest rates and maturities. We do not retain any economic interests from our Retail Program. Interest expense on Retail Program notes of $28.9 million and $42.0 million was equally matched and offset by interest income from the related loans of $28.9 million and $42.0 million for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, resulting in no net effect on our Net interest income and fair value adjustments.

⁽²⁾ Represents assets and equal and offsetting liabilities of certain VIEs that we are required to consolidate in accordance with GAAP, but which are not legally ours. The liabilities are only payable from the cash flows generated by the associated assets. The creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Interest expense on these liabilities owned by third parties of $7.8 million and net fair value adjustments of $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2020 were equally matched and offset by interest income on the loans of $10.5 million, resulting in no net effect on our Net interest income and fair value adjustments. Interest expense on these liabilities owned by third parties of $27.1 million and net fair value adjustments of $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2019 were equally matched and offset by interest income on the loans of $34.8 million, resulting in no net effect on our Net interest income and fair value adjustments. Economic interests held by LendingClub, including retained interests, residuals and equity of the VIEs, are reflected in “Loans held for sale by the Company at fair value,” “Loans held for investment by the Company at fair value” and “Restricted cash,” respectively, within the “All Other LendingClub” column.

⁽³⁾ Represents all other assets and liabilities of LendingClub, other than those related to our Retail Program and certain consolidated VIEs, but includes any economic interests held by LendingClub, including retained interests, residuals and equity of those consolidated VIEs.

⁽⁴⁾

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company sponsored a new Structured Program transaction that was consolidated, resulting in an increase to “Loans held for investment by the Company at fair value” and the related “Payable to Structured Program note and certificate holders at fair value.” See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 13. Debt” for additional information.

Net Cash and Other Financial Assets

The following table provides additional detail related to components of our Net Cash and Other Financial Assets. We believe Net Cash and Other Financial Assets is a useful measure because it illustrates the overall financial stability and operating leverage of the Company. This measure is calculated as cash and certain other assets and liabilities, including loans and securities available for sale, which are partially secured and offset by related credit facilities, and working capital.

⁽¹⁾	Variations in cash and cash equivalents are primarily due to variations in the amount and timing of loan purchases invested in by the Company.

⁽²⁾

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we added a new line item called “Other assets and liabilities” which is a total of “Accrued interest receivable,” “Other assets,” “Accounts payable,” “Accrued interest payable” and “Accrued expenses and other liabilities,” included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. This line item represents certain assets and liabilities that impact working capital and are affected by timing differences between revenue and expense recognition and related cash activity. In the third quarter of 2019, we added a new line item called “Restricted cash committed for loan purchases,” which represents cash and cash equivalents that are transferred to restricted cash for loans that are pending purchase by the Company. We believe this is a more complete representation of the Company’s net cash and other financial assets position as of each period presented in the table above. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

⁽⁴⁾	Comparable GAAP measure cannot be provided as not practicable.

Investments in Quarterly Originations by Investment Channel and Investor Concentration

Our investment channels consist of (1) Banks, which are deposit taking institutions or their affiliates, (2) LendingClub inventory, which includes loan originations purchased by the Company during the period and not yet sold as of the period end, (3) Other institutional investors and Managed accounts, which primarily include other

non-bank investors, dedicated third-party funds, and public and private funds managed by third-party asset managers, and (4) self-directed retail investors.

The following table shows the percentage of loan origination volume issued in the period and purchased or pending purchase by each investment channel as of the end of each period presented:



	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019		September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		March 31, 2019

Total	100	%	100	%	100	%	100	%	100	%


⁽¹⁾	LendingClub inventory reflects loans purchased or pending purchase by the Company during the period, excluding loans held by the Company through consolidated trusts, if applicable, and not yet sold as of the period end.

Loan origination volume decreased during the first quarter of 2020 driven by lower investor demand for loans across our platform due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This reduction in investor demand resulted in a higher mix of purchases by bank investors as opposed to institutional investors. In addition, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related capital market dislocation, the Company ceased using its own capital to fund the purchase of loans for Structured Program transactions. See “Current Economic and Business Environment” section for additional discussion.

Throughout 2019, the Company strategically tightened credit underwriting. An increase in annual volume in our business and a shift in mix to higher quality grade A and B borrowers, which included the first Company-sponsored securitization of exclusively A and B loans, resulted in changes to proportional purchases by investor type. The proportional reduction in the Bank investors’ share of our marketplace was primarily offset by a proportional increase in LendingClub inventory targeted for the Company’s Structured Program and a proportional increase in purchases by institutional investors.

The following table provides the percentage of loans invested in by the ten largest external investors and by the largest single investor during each of the previous five quarters (by dollars invested):



	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019		September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		March 31, 2019
Percentage of loans invested in by ten largest investors	56	%	51	%	55	%	62	%	65	%
Percentage of loans invested in by largest single investor	21	%	19	%	29	%	33	%	36	%

The composition of the top ten investors may vary from period to period. During the first quarter of 2020, the percentage of loans invested in by the Company’s ten largest investors increased as a result of a decrease in loan origination volume and an increase in the mix of loans purchased on our platform by bank investors, as discussed above. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic there has been a reduction in investor demand on our platform reflecting market dislocation for unsecured personal loans. The reduction in investor demand has furthered investor concentration to a limited number of purchasers that are continuing to purchase loans but are currently doing so at lower volumes relative to historical purchasing activity.

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)

During 2019, the Company made multiple efforts to reduce its concentration of investors by introducing several new products in its Structured Program, including Levered Certificates, LCX and a securitization of exclusively grade A and B loans. The percentage of loans invested in by our ten largest investors declined during 2019 primarily due to a decrease in loans purchased by banks, as well as reducing our concentration to our largest investor. Our largest investor continued to invest in loans, but not at the same proportional level due primarily to the Company’s increased annual loan volume.

Effectiveness of Scoring Models

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

Our online lending marketplace platform’s credit decisioning and scoring models are evaluated on a regular basis and the additional data on loan history experience, borrower behavior and prepayment trends that we accumulate are leveraged to continually improve our underwriting models. We believe we have the experience to effectively evaluate a borrower’s creditworthiness and likelihood of default. If our lending marketplace’s credit decisioning and scoring models ultimately prove to be ineffective or fail to appropriately account for a decline in future macroeconomic environment, investors may experience higher than expected losses.

Our current underwriting model leverages a number of custom attributes developed by LendingClub. We work with our primary issuing bank partner to modify their credit and pricing policies, leveraging insights on current market conditions and recent vintage performance.

The charts provided below display the historical lifetime cumulative net charge-off rates (expressed as a percent of original loan balances) through March 31, 2020, by booking year, for all standard program loans and 36-month or 60-month terms for each of the years shown. The charts display lifetime cumulative net charge-off rates using months on book for each annual vintage presented. Each annual vintage’s lifetime cumulative net charge-offs vary based on the maturity of each loan’s month on book. In the first quarter of 2020, standard program loans accounted for 70% of all loan origination volume.

Decreases in the fair value of loans as a percent of outstanding principal balance from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020 were primarily due to changes in market conditions as a result of COVID-19, including an increase in estimated expected credit losses and an increase in liquidity premium.

For loans invested in directly by the Company for which there were no associated notes, certificates or secured borrowings, the outstanding principal balance, fair value and percentage of loans that are delinquent, by loan product, are as follows:

⁽³⁾	Expressed as a percent of outstanding principal balance.

Decreases in the fair value of total loans invested in by the Company as a percent of outstanding principal balance from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020 were primarily due to changes in market conditions as a result of COVID-19, including an increase in estimated expected credit losses and an increase in liquidity premium.

Net Annualized Charge-Off Rates

The following tables show annualized net charge-off rates, which are a measure of the performance of the loans facilitated by our platform. In contrast to the graphs above, these tables show the annualized charged-off balance of loans in a specific period as a percentage of the average outstanding balance for such period.

Net annualized charge-off rates are affected by the average age and grade distribution of the loans outstanding for a given quarter and the credit performance of those loans. Additionally, in any particular quarter the portfolios include

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

loans from past vintages that were originated under prior credit underwriting parameters, and thus do not reflect the current credit underwriting parameters used to originate new loans.

As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company expects an increase in actual net charge-offs in the coming months. See the “Current Economic and Business Environment” section for additional discussion on the impact of the pandemic on our business.

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



Total Platform ⁽¹⁾	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019		September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		March 31, 2019
Personal Loans – Standard Program:
Annualized net charge-off rate	6.4	%	7.0	%	6.4	%	6.4	%	7.0	%
Weighted-average age in months	12.9		12.5		12.3		12.3		12.4

⁽¹⁾	Total platform comprises all loans facilitated through our lending marketplace, including whole loans sold and loans financed by notes, certificates and secured borrowings, but excluding education and patient finance loans, auto refinance loans and small business loans.

The decrease in the annualized net charge-off rate in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019 for both the standard and custom personal loan programs primarily reflects an increase in outstanding loan balances.

The decrease in the annualized net charge-off rates in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 for both the standard and custom personal loan programs primarily reflects a decrease in actual net charge-offs.

The annualized net charge-off rates for personal loans for both standard and custom programs for loans retained on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the last five quarters were as follows:



Loans Retained on Balance Sheet ⁽¹⁾	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019		September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		March 31, 2019

The decrease in annualized net charge-off rates for both the standard and custom personal loan programs in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019 for the loans retained on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets reflects a decrease in actual net charge-offs, partially offset by the effect of lower outstanding loan balances.

The decrease in the annualized net charge-off rates for both the standard and custom personal loan programs in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 for the loans retained on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets reflects a decrease in actual net charge-offs, partially offset by the effect of lower outstanding loan balances.

Historically, the annualized net charge-off rates for standard program loans have been higher for loans retained on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets compared to loans reflected at the total platform level for each quarter because of, among other reasons, a difference in grade distribution for the two portfolios. In 2019, the Company began purchasing a higher proportion of grade A and B loans than it had previously, with the proportion of grade A and B loans at 57% of the retained loan portfolio compared to 58% for the total platform level as of March 31, 2020. This difference in loan grade distribution results in lower net charge-off rates for the loans on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets compared to the total platform, as grade A and B loans have lower expected and actual credit losses.

Regulatory Environment

We are regularly subject to claims, individual and class action lawsuits, lawsuits alleging regulatory violations, government (including state agencies) and regulatory exams, investigations, inquiries or requests, and other proceedings. The number and significance of these claims, lawsuits, exams, investigations, inquiries, requests and proceedings have increased in part because our business has expanded in scope and geographic reach, and our products and services have increased in complexity. For example, we have experienced, are currently and will likely continue to be subject to and experience exams from state regulators and our legal, compliance and other costs related to such proceedings may elevate from current levels. See “Part I – Item 1. Business – Regulatory and Compliance Framework,” “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business and Regulation,” including the risk factors titled “We are regularly subject to litigation, and government and regulatory investigations, inquiries and requests,” “If the loans facilitated through our lending marketplace were found to violate a state’s usury laws, and/or we were found to be the true lender (as opposed to our issuing bank(s)), we may have to alter our business model and our business could be harmed” and “The regulatory framework for our business is evolving and uncertain as federal and state governments consider new laws to regulate online lending marketplaces such as ours. New laws and regulations, including uncertainty as to how the actions of any federal or state regulator could impact our business or that of our issuing bank(s)” in our Annual Report for more information, additional discussion and disclosure, including the potential adverse outcomes and consequences from such proceedings.

Bank Partnership Model

There has been (and may continue to be) an increase in inquiries, regulatory proceedings, including exams by state regulators, and litigation challenging or raising issues relating to, among other things, the application of state usury rates and 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 or servicing of a loan.

For example, in January 2017, the Colorado Administrator (Administrator) of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code filed suit against Avant, Inc., a company that operates an online consumer loan platform. The Administrator asserts that loans to Colorado residents facilitated through Avant’s 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 WebBank, the federally regulated issuing bank who originates loans through Avant’s platform, as well as through our platform. Although Avant removed its case to federal court in March 2017, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado issued an order in March 2018 remanding the case to the District Court for the City and County of Denver. In March 2018, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado also issued

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)

an order dismissing a parallel case brought by WebBank that sought a declaratory judgment regarding the applicability of preemption to Colorado usury laws and permanent injunctions against the Administrator that would prevent the Administrator from enforcing Colorado usury laws against WebBank and certain parties associated with loans originated by it. Avant thereafter filed a Motion to Dismiss in District Court for the State of Colorado and WebBank moved to intervene in the case. In August 2018, the Court granted WebBank’s motion but denied Avant’s motion. In November 2018, the Administrator added as defendants certain securitization trusts that had acquired Avant loans. The Administrator is seeking a penalty of ten times the amount of the “excess” finance charges. Trials in this case and in a similar case pending in Colorado against Marlette Funding and Cross River Bank are currently scheduled for September and July 2020, respectively.

As another example, in June 2019, certain Capital One and Chase credit card holders filed putative class actions in U.S. District Court in New York against certain non-bank Capital One and Chase special purpose entities and trusts, and the trustees thereof, that purchased and/or played a role in facilitating the securitization of Capital One and Chase credit card receivables. The plaintiffs allege that the preemption of New York usury laws by the National Bank Act (NBA) ceased once the credit card receivables were purchased and securitized by or via the non-bank defendants and therefore any interest being charged on the securitized receivables in excess of New York’s usury limits violates New York law. The plaintiffs seek to recoup the allegedly excessive interest payments and an order requiring the defendants to cease their allegedly wrongful conduct, among other relief. The plaintiffs in these lawsuits aim to leverage the Second Circuit’s decision in Madden v. Midland Funding, LLC that interpreted the scope of federal preemption under the NBA and held that a non-bank debt collector that purchased a loan originated by a national bank was not entitled to the benefits of federal preemption of claims of usury.

In September 2019, the OCC and the FDIC filed an amicus brief in U.S. District Court in Colorado supporting a bankruptcy court’s rejection of the Madden case in a case before it. In re Rent-Rite Super Kegs West Ltd., Case No. 1:19-cv-015520-REB (D. Colo.), Dkt.11. In addition, in late 2019 the OCC issued a proposed rulemaking to amend its regulations to clarify that interest on a loan that is lawful under federal law for national banks and federal savings associations remains lawful upon the sale, assignment or other transfer of the loan. The FDIC issued a similar proposal that is applicable to FDIC insured state-chartered banks. Various comments to the proposed rules were submitted from a variety of companies and other regulators. It is unclear what impact the position of these various regulators on the Madden decision will have in existing or future litigation or regulatory proceedings involving arguments of federal preemption of state usury laws.

In addition, a bill was passed in late 2017 by the House of Representatives that could clarify that any loan originated by a national bank would be entitled to the benefits of federal preemption on claims of usury provided that certain criteria are met. However, the bill was never passed by the Senate and we do not know whether this bill will be reintroduced in the current Congress or, if it is, whether it will pass or, if it does pass, what its final terms will be or its potential impact on our business.

Although we believe that our program is factually distinguishable from the Madden case, an extension of the application of the Second Circuit's decision, either within or outside the states in the Second Circuit, could challenge the federal preemption of state laws setting interest rate limitations for loans made by issuing bank partners in those states.

State Inquiries and Licensing

There has been (and may continue to be) an increase in inquiries and regulatory proceedings, including exams by state regulators, with respect to licensing requirements. In most states we believe, because of our issuing bank model, we are exempt from or satisfy relevant licensing requirements with respect to the origination of loans we facilitate. However, as needed, we have endeavored to apply for and obtain the appropriate licenses.

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)

The Company has had discussions with the Colorado Department of Law (CDL) concerning the licenses required for the Company’s servicing operations and the structure of its offerings in the State of Colorado. While we believe that our program with WebBank has been structured in accordance with governing federal law, the Administrator of the Colorado Uniform Consumer Credit Code (UCCC) has identified alleged “exceptions” to our compliance with provisions of the Colorado UCCC, including with respect to permitted rates and charges. We believe that our model differs in important respects from Avant’s business model as alleged in the litigation involving Avant in Colorado. We have also had discussions with the CDL about entering into a terminable agreement with the CDL to, among other things: (i) toll the statutes of limitations on any action the CDL might bring against the Company based on the rates and charges on loans the Company facilitates and (ii) refrain from facilitating certain loans to borrowers located in Colorado available for investment by certain investors. No assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of this matter.

We are routinely subject to examination for compliance with applicable laws and regulations in the states in which we are licensed. As of the date of this Report, we are subject to examination by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) and regulators in other states. These exams could include the application of state usury rates and 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 or servicing of a loan. For example, in July 2018, the NYDFS issued an Online Lending Report (Lending Report). The Lending Report included, among other things, an analysis of the online lenders operating in New York including their methods of operations, lending practices, interest rates and costs, products offered and complaints and investigations relating to online lenders. The Lending Report also included information and recommendations regarding protecting New York’s markets and consumers. Although the Lending Report noted that the rapid growth of online lending demonstrates there is value to new technologies that allow financial institutions to connect with borrowers in new ways, it noted that in many cases an online lender is the “true lender” and that lending in New York, whether through banks, credit unions or online lenders, should be subject to applicable usury limits. We periodically have discussions with various regulatory agencies regarding our business model and have engaged in similar discussions with the NYDFS, Colorado and Massachusetts. During the course of such discussions, which remain ongoing, we decided to voluntarily comply with certain rules and regulations. No assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of these matters.

The Company has undertaken a review of its portfolio of licenses and has had discussions with regulators in Texas, Arizona, New York, Florida and North Dakota concerning the licenses required for the Company’s issuance of retail notes to investors in these states and has applied for licenses in these states to facilitate these operations. The Company has also had discussions with certain of these regulators to resolve concerns regarding the Company’s historical licensing/registration status in connection with retail notes issued and has reached resolutions with Texas and Arizona, and has reached an agreement in principle with North Dakota (subject to finalizing a written agreement) to resolve their concerns, the outcome of which are not material to the Company’s operations or financial position. As of the date of this Report, the Company has also successfully obtained licenses in Arizona, North Dakota and Texas, which permit it to issue retail notes to investors in these states. The Company is not able to predict with certainty the timing, outcome, or consequence of discussions with the remaining states, including in relation to whether and how any concerns those states have will be resolved and if or when licenses will be issued in those states. Discussions with these remaining states could result in fines or other penalties, which are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations or results of operations.

Regulatory Actions Taken in Relation to COVID-19

Regulators and government officials at the federal government level and in states across the country have issued orders, passed laws or otherwise issued guidance in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of these orders and laws place restrictions on debt collection activity, all or certain types of communications with delinquent borrowers or others, require that borrowers be allowed to defer payments on outstanding debt, and place certain restrictions and requirements on operations in the workplace. We have taken steps to monitor regulatory

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)

developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and to comply with orders and laws applicable to our business. Given the ongoing nature of the pandemic, it is possible that additional orders, laws, or regulatory guidance may still be issued. The Company is not able to predict the extent of the impact on its business from any regulatory activity relating to or resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Consequences

If we are found to not have complied with applicable laws, regulations or requirements, we could: (i) lose one or more of our licenses or authorizations, (ii) become subject to a consent order or administrative enforcement action, (iii) face lawsuits (including class action lawsuits), sanctions or penalties, (iv) be in breach of certain contracts, which may void or cancel such contracts, (v) decide or be compelled to modify or suspend certain of our business practices (including limiting the maximum interest rate on certain loans facilitated through our platform and/or refraining from making certain loans available for investment by certain investors), (vi) be unable to execute on certain Company initiatives such as the acquisition of Radius, or (vii) be required to obtain a license in such jurisdiction, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to continue to facilitate loans through our lending marketplace, perform our servicing obligations or make our lending marketplace available to borrowers in particular states; any of which may harm our business.

See “Part I – Item 1. Business – Regulatory and Compliance Framework” and “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business and Regulation” in our Annual Report for further discussion regarding our regulatory environment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our short-term liquidity needs generally relate to our working capital requirements, including the purchase of loans invested in by the Company. Our liquidity needs are generally met through cash generated from the operations of facilitating loan originations, servicing fee revenue, proceeds from the sales of loans (both as whole loan sales and through Structured Program transactions), principal and interest received on loans invested in by the Company, use of existing cash and cash equivalents, and draws on our credit facilities. Currently the Company has ceased purchasing loans for Structured Program transactions due to market dislocation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we are facilitating lower volumes of loan originations impacting transaction fee revenue and offering loan modifications to borrowers which may impact servicing fee revenue.

As of March 31, 2020, our balance sheet includes $294.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, securities available for sale of $256.6 million (which included $130.2 million of securities pledged as collateral) and loans held for sale by the Company at fair value of $741.7 million (which included $499.8 million of loans pledged at fair value as collateral). The loans held for sale by the Company of $741.7 million includes $127.7 million held by consolidated Structured Program transactions where the risk of any loss is held by third parties.

The Company is closely monitoring our liquidity and our requirements under existing credit facilities and repurchase agreements. Our credit facilities are secured by unsecured personal loans, and the lenders of our warehouse credit facilities and the payable to Structured Program note and certificate holders

do not have recourse to the Company. Our repurchase agreements are secured by securities available for sale. We are working with our current lender counterparties to amend Commitment Termination Dates, maturity dates and maintenance provisions including the following:


•	A repurchase agreement with a stated maturity of May 2020 for $69.3 million (which included pledged securities with a fair value of $80.7 million) as of March 31, 2020 (subsequent to the end of the quarter, the

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)

repurchase agreement was converted to a daily rolling evergreen 45-day maturity structure. As of May 1, 2020 the maturity date is mid-June 2020);


•	Monitoring of margin calls on repurchase agreements based on changes in security fair value;


•	Monitoring of maintenance provisions, including delinquency thresholds of our Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities, of which any breach requires these credit facilities to be repaid as amortizing term loans (based on principal repayments of the financed personal loans) until the facility’s final maturity dates;

•

Monitoring of Commitment Termination Dates for our Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities with an outstanding balance of $378.5 million at March 31, 2020 (secured by unsecured personal loans with a fair value of $485.4 million) with associated Commitment Termination Dates of October 2020 for $144.5 million and February 2022 for $234.0 million. If the Commitment Termination Dates are not extended the outstanding credit facility balances are paid down as principal payments are received on the underlying loans securing the Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities through to the final maturity date one year following the Commitment Termination Date; and

•

Monitoring aging limits in the Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facility with a Commitment Termination Date of February 2022 and an outstanding balance of $234.0 million as of March 31, 2020, which limit loan age to 210 days, after which the advance rate for any such loan is reduced by 50%. The loan aging limit is applied loan by loan, with the majority of the loans reaching their limit in the fourth quarter of 2020. Any such loans may be removed from this warehouse facility upon repayment of the borrowed amount or substitution of other qualifying loans, and could be pledged to another warehouse facility’s available unused borrowing capacity.

In addition to above, our revolving facility matures in December 2020 with an outstanding debt balance of $110.0 million as of March 31, 2020.

We have used our own capital and available credit facilities to purchase loans for future Structured Program transactions, but as of the date of this filing all such use of capital has been suspended. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company facilitated $2.5 billion of loans on our marketplace. We used our own capital to purchase $1.4 billion in loans and $1.2 billion in loans were issued that were contemporaneously funded by loan sales and by the issuance of notes and certificates. The Company sold $1.2 billion in loans (of which $831 million was sold through Structured Program transactions and $341 million was sold to whole loan investors). As of March 31, 2020, the fair value of loans invested in by the Company was $812.7 million, of which $499.8 million were pledged as collateral under our credit facilities. Given the member payment dependent structure of the notes, certificates and secured borrowings, principal and interest payments on notes, certificates and secured borrowings are paid only when received from borrowers on the corresponding retained loans, resulting in no material impact to our liquidity.

We may use our cash, cash equivalents and securities available for sale as additional sources of liquidity. Cash, cash equivalents and securities available for sale were $550.9 million (which included $130.2 million of securities pledged as collateral) and $514.7 million (which included $174.8 million of securities pledged as collateral) as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents of $294.3 million as of March 31, 2020 are primarily held in institutional money market funds, interest-bearing deposit accounts at investment grade financial institutions, certificates of deposit, and commercial paper. Our securities available for sale of $256.6 million (which included $130.2 million of securities pledged as collateral) as of March 31, 2020 consist of asset-backed securities related to our Structured Program transactions, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, other asset-backed securities, and certificates of deposit. Changes in the balance of cash and cash equivalents are generally a result of timing related to working capital requirements, purchase or sale of loans and securities available for sale, changes in debt outstanding under our credit facilities, and changes in restricted cash and other investments. Changes in the balance of securities available for sale are generally a result of activity related to our Structured Program transactions and fair value adjustments, which includes a valuation allowance for credit losses recorded in “Net fair value adjustments” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of

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)

Operations and unrealized gains and losses recorded in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Future cash requirements include certain contingent liabilities, including litigations and ongoing regulatory and government investigations primarily related to outstanding legacy issues. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $14.8 million and $16.0 million in accrued contingent liabilities, respectively, but actual cash payments may vary if outcomes of legal actions or settlements are different. See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies” for further information.

On February 18, 2020, the Company and Radius entered into a Merger, in a cash and stock transaction valued at $185 million (of which $138.75 million is in cash and $46.25 million is in stock), subject to certain purchase price and expense adjustments of up to $22 million. The closing of the Merger is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions, which the Company anticipates can be completed within 12 to 15 months, as well as customary transaction costs. Additionally, in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company provided Shanda a one-time cash payment of approximately $50.2 million.

Our credit facilities and securities sold under repurchase agreements are comprised of secured warehouse credit facilities for personal loans and auto refinance loans (Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities and Auto Loan Warehouse Credit Facility), a secured revolving credit facility (Revolving Facility) and Repurchase Agreements.

Warehouse Credit Facilities

Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities are used to finance our personal loans on a revolving basis and have a combined borrowing capacity of $750.0 million, with $378.5 million (with associated Commitment Termination Dates of October 2020 for $144.5 million and February 2022 for $234.0 million) of debt outstanding secured by $485.4 million of loans at fair value as of March 31, 2020. These Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities have “Commitment Termination Dates” ranging from June 2020 to February 2022, at which point the Company’s ability to borrow additional funds ends, but outstanding borrowings do not become immediately due and payable. The credit facility, with a Commitment Maturity Date of June 2020, has no outstanding debt and is not expected to be renewed, as it supported capital markets Structured Program activity in which the Company is not currently engaged. Under the respective agreements, if not amended, extended, or replaced, any outstanding debt on the Commitment Termination Dates would be repaid as an amortizing term loan (based on principal repayments of the financed personal loans) until the facility’s final maturity dates, ranging from June 2021 to February 2023. In addition, under the respective agreements, if there is any breach of delinquency measures and other maintenance provisions, any outstanding debt would be repaid as an amortizing term loan (based on principal repayments of the financed personal loans) until the facility’s final maturity date. One of the Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities with a Commitment Termination Date of February 2022 and an outstanding balance of $234.0 million at March 31, 2020 contains a loan aging limit of 210 days, after which the advance rate for any such loan is reduced by 50%. The loan aging limit is applied loan by loan, with the majority of the loans reaching their limit in the fourth quarter of 2020. Any such loans may be removed from this credit facility upon repayment of the borrowed amount or substitution of other qualifying loans, and could be pledged to another credit facility with available unused borrowing capacity. We are working to amend and extend the maintenance provisions and Commitment Termination Dates of these Personal Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities, or to replace them with substantially similar credit facilities.

The Auto Loan Warehouse Credit Facility is a term loan used to finance auto refinance loans, which matures in June 2021. The amount borrowed under this Auto Loan Warehouse Credit Facility amortizes over time through regular principal and interest payments collected from the auto refinance loans that serve as collateral. As of March 31, 2020, the Auto Loan Warehouse Credit Facility has an outstanding debt balance of $11.5 million and is secured by $14.4 million of auto refinance loans at fair value.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Revolving Facility has a credit limit of $120.0 million, with $110.0 million of debt outstanding as of March 31, 2020, and expires in December 2020.

Repurchase Agreements

We have repurchase agreements (with scheduled repurchase dates between May 2020 and December 2026) with counterparties under which we may sell securities (subject to an obligation to repurchase such securities at a specified future date and price) in exchange for cash. As of March 31, 2020, we have an obligation of $121.0 million to repurchase securities with a fair value of $130.2 million, of which $51.7 million had contractual repurchase dates ranging from May 2020 to December 2026 and $69.3 million is subject to a repurchase date in May 2020 that requires counterparty approval to extend such repurchase date. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the repurchase agreement maturing in May 2020 was converted to a daily rolling evergreen 45-day maturity structure. As of May 1, 2020 the maturity date is mid-June 2020. Margin calls based on the fair value of the securities was $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Payable to Structured Program Note and Certificate Holders

In the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020, the Company sponsored securitization transactions through master trusts consisting of $244.4 million in unsecured personal whole loans in aggregate. The trusts sold certificate participations and securities to third-party investors in an amount equal to approximately 95% of the loans for $228.7 million in net proceeds. The remaining certificate participations, securities, and residual interests were retained by the Company. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the trusts, which are consolidated. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the certificate participations and securities held by third-party investors of $206.1 million and $40.6 million and were secured by loans held for investment and loans held for sale by the Company at fair value of $205.7 million and $40.3 million and restricted cash of $12.6 million and $2.9 million included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements –Note 13. Debt” for further information.

The Personal Loan and Auto Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities, Revolving Facility and repurchase agreements have interest rates predominately based on LIBOR. The agreements generally include alternative rates to LIBOR. We plan to renew and/or amend the facilities and agreements before the end of 2021, when it has been announced by the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority that LIBOR is intended to be phased out. In all cases, we expect the alternate rates to be based on prevailing market convention for financing arrangements of an equivalent nature.

We believe, based on our projections, that our cash on hand, securities available for sale, available funds from our Warehouse Facilities and repurchase agreements (subject to amendments and extensions), and cash flow from operations are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity for the next 12 months, our business and liquidity position may be adversely impacted by a number of factors, including the impact of COVID-19, the success of our operations, and the credit and economic environment and outlook.

⁽¹⁾	Cash used for operating activities primarily includes the purchase and sale of loans held for sale by the Company.

⁽²⁾

Cash provided by loan investing activities includes the purchase of and repayment of loans held for investment. Cash used for note, certificate and secured borrowings financing activities includes the issuance of notes, certificates and secured borrowings to investors and the repayment of those notes, certificates and secured borrowings. These amounts generally correspond to and offset each other.

Operating Activities. Net cash (used for) provided by operating activities was $(216.4) million and $166.3 million during the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net cash (used for) provided by operating activities relates to proceeds from sales of loans held for sale offset by the purchase of loans held for sale. The timing of the purchases and sales of loans held for sale can vary between periods and can therefore impact the amount of cash provided by or used for operating activities. In periods where we accumulate loans held for sale that are sold in a subsequent period, cash flow from operating activities will be negatively affected.

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $143.4 million and $161.1 million during the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net cash provided by loan investing activities was primarily driven by purchases of loans held for investment (under our retail program and issuance of notes) and principal receipts on those loans. Net cash provided by all other investing activities was primarily driven by purchases of securities available for sale and purchases of property, equipment and software, offset by proceeds from securities available for sale.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities was $19.5 million and $(401.2) million during the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities was primarily driven by principal payments on and retirements of notes and certificates and principal payments on our credit facilities, and a $50.2 million deemed dividend paid on preferred stock, offset by proceeds from our credit facilities, the issuance of notes and certificates, and proceeds from securities sold under repurchase agreements.

Capital Resources

Net capital expenditures were $11.4 million, or 9.5% of total net revenue, and $15.9 million, or 9.1% of total net revenue, for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Capital expenditures generally consist of internally developed software, leasehold improvements and computer equipment. Capital expenditures in 2020 are expected to be approximately $29.0 million, primarily related to costs associated with the continued development and support of our online lending marketplace platform. The current outlook reflects reduced engineering headcount levels and reduced development spend on growth initiatives for the year as part of the Company’s broader expense cutting actions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a total of $5.5 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.

In the ordinary course of business, we engage in other activities that are not reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, generally referred to as off-balance sheet arrangements. These activities involve our Structured Program transactions with unconsolidated variable interest entities including Company-sponsored securitizations and Certificate Program transactions. These transactions are used frequently by the Company to provide a source of liquidity to finance our business and to diversify our investor base. The Company retains at least 5% of securities and residual interests from these transactions and enters into a servicing arrangement with the unconsolidated variable interest entity. We are exposed to market risk in the securitization market. We provide additional information regarding transactions with unconsolidated variable interest entities in “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 7. Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities.”

Contingencies

For a comprehensive discussion of contingencies as of March 31, 2020, see “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies.”

Contractual Obligations

Our principal commitments consist of obligations under our loan funding operation with WebBank and in connection with direct marketing efforts, long-term debt obligations related to our credit facilities and securities sold under repurchase agreements, operating leases for office space and contractual commitments for other support services. There have been no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report, except as noted below.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations under our loan funding operation with WebBank and our long-term debt obligations related to our credit facilities and securities sold under repurchase agreements as of March 31, 2020, and the timing and effect that such commitments are expected to have on our liquidity and capital requirements in future periods:



	Less than 1 Year		1 to 3 Years		3 to 5 Years		More than 5 Years		Total

⁽¹⁾	Amounts based on contractual maturity dates. The amount presented in the “More than 5 Years” column above represents the Company’s long-term debt obligations under certain repurchase agreements, which are paid down based on cash flows received from the underlying securities sold. The Company expects these long-term debt obligations to be satisfied within three years.

For a discussion of the Company’s long-term debt obligations as of March 31, 2020, see “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 13. Debt.”

Critical Accounting 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 Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates” in the Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these critical accounting estimates during the first quarter of 2020, except as noted below.

Fair Value of Asset-backed Securities related to Structured Program Transactions

We classify asset-backed securities related to Structured Program transactions as securities available for sale. These securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are reported, net of taxes, in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets unless management determines that a security is impaired due to a deterioration in expected cash flows, in which case the unrealized loss is recognized in earnings as a valuation allowance for credit losses.

We estimate fair value based on the price of transactions for similar instruments if available. If market observable prices are not available, we use a discounted cash flow model to estimate fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. This model uses inputs that are both observable and not observable and reflect our best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. The following describes the primary inputs that require significant judgment:

Expected loss rates – Expected loss rates are estimates of the principal payments that will not be repaid over the life of loans backing the security. Expected loss rates are adjusted to reflect the expected principal recoveries on charged-off loans. Expected loss rates are primarily based on the historical performance of the loans facilitated on our platform but also incorporate discretionary adjustments based on our expectations of future credit performance.

Prepayments – Prepayments are estimates of the amount of principal payments that will occur before they are contractually required during the life of loans backing the security. Prepayments reduce the projected principal balances, interest payments and expected time loans are outstanding. Prepayment expectations are primarily based on the historical performance of the loans facilitated on our platform but also incorporate discretionary adjustments based on our expectations of future loan performance.

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

Discount rates – The discount rates for asset-backed securities reflect our estimates of the rates of return that investors would require when investing in financial instruments with similar risk and return characteristics. The primary source of discount rate observations is the rate of return implied by sales of asset-backed securities associated.

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

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 discount rates and servicing rates, interest rates and credit performance of loans. We are exposed to market risk directly through loans and securities held on our balance sheet, access to the securitization markets, investor demand for our loans, current and future debt under our credit facilities, and our servicing assets. We have experienced significant dislocation in the capital markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have ceased purchasing of loans for Structured Program transactions. See the “Part I. Financial Information – Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Current Economic and Business Environment” section for additional information.

Market Rate Sensitivity

Market rate sensitivity refers to the risk of loss to future earnings, values or future cash flows that may result from changes in market discount rates and servicing rates.

Loans Invested in by the Company. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we were exposed to market rate risk on $812.7 million and $766.0 million of loans invested in by the Company at fair value, respectively, which have fixed interest rates. 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. Any realized or unrealized losses from market rate changes on loans invested in by the Company are recorded in earnings.

The Company’s continued facilitation of loan originations depends on an active liquid market, third-party investor demand for loans and successful Structured Program transactions and loan sales. The Company could respond to disruptions in ongoing investor demand due to changes in yield expectations, availability and yield of alternative investments, and liquidity in capital markets with reductions in origination facilitations or sales of loans at discounts, thereby negatively impacting revenue.

The following table presents the impact to the fair value of loans invested in by the Company due to a hypothetical change in discount rates as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:



	Loans Invested in by the Company
	March 31, 2020			December 31, 2019
Fair value	$	812,707		$	766,048
Discount rates
100 basis point increase	$	(11,261	)	$	(9,806	)
100 basis point decrease	$	11,518		$	10,014

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

Servicing Assets. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we were exposed to market servicing rate risk on $92.8 million and $89.7 million of servicing assets, respectively. Our selection of the most representative market servicing rates is inherently judgmental. The following table presents the impact to the fair value of servicing assets due to a hypothetical change in the weighted-average market servicing rate assumption as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:



	Servicing Assets
	March 31, 2020			December 31, 2019
Fair value	$	92,825		$	89,680
Weighted-average market servicing rate assumption	0.66		%	0.66		%
Change in fair value from:
Servicing rate increase by 10 basis points	$	(13,180	)	$	(13,978	)
Servicing rate decrease by 10 basis points	$	13,181		$	13,979

The following table presents the impact to the fair value of servicing assets due to a hypothetical change in the expected prepayment rates as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:



	Servicing Assets
	March 31, 2020			December 31, 2019
Fair value	$	92,825		$	89,680
Expected prepayment rates
10 percent increase	$	(3,391	)	$	(2,962	)
10 percent decrease	$	3,391		$	2,962

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The fair values of certain of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Fixed rates may adversely affect market value due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rates may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. The impact of changes in interest rates would be reduced by the fact that increases or decreases in fair values of assets would be partially offset by corresponding changes in fair values of liabilities.

Loans Invested in by the Company. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we were exposed to interest rate risk on $812.7 million and $766.0 million of loans invested in by the Company at fair value, respectively, which have fixed interest rates. Any realized or unrealized losses from interest rate changes are recorded in earnings. The following table presents the impact to the fair value of loans invested in by the Company due to a hypothetical change in interest rates as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:



	Loans Invested in by the Company
	March 31, 2020			December 31, 2019
Fair value	$	812,707		$	766,048
Interest rates
100 basis point increase	$	(11,261	)	$	(9,806	)
100 basis point decrease	$	11,518		$	10,014

Securities Available for Sale. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we were exposed to interest rate risk on $256.6 million and $270.9 million of securities available for sale, respectively, including $203.3 million and $220.1 million, respectively, of asset-backed securities related to Structured Program transactions and $53.3 million

100

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

and $50.8 million, respectively, of corporate debt, certificates of deposit, other asset-backed securities, commercial paper and other securities, respectively. To manage this risk, we limit and monitor maturities, credit ratings, performance of loans underlying Structured Program transactions and concentrations within the investment portfolio. Any unrealized gains or losses resulting from such interest rate changes would only be recorded in earnings if we sold the securities prior to maturity or if the securities were considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

The following table presents the impact to the fair value of securities available for sale due to a hypothetical change in interest rates as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:



	Securities Available for Sale
	March 31, 2020			December 31, 2019
Fair value	$	256,554		$	270,927
Interest rates
100 basis point increase	$	(2,448	)	$	(2,313	)
100 basis point decrease	$	2,441		$	2,301

Credit Facilities and Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we were exposed to interest rate risk on $390.0 million and $387.3 million of funding under the Personal Loan and Auto Loan Warehouse Credit Facilities, $110.0 million and $60.0 million of funding under the Revolving Facility, and $121.0 million and $140.2 million of funding under our repurchase agreements, respectively. Future funding activities may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, as the interest rates payable on such funding are generally tied to LIBOR.

The following table presents the impact to the annualized interest expense related to our credit facilities and securities sold under repurchase agreements due to a hypothetical change in the one-month LIBOR rate as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:



	Credit Facilities and Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements
	March 31, 2020			December 31, 2019
Carrying value	$	621,020		$	587,453
One-month LIBOR
100 basis point increase	$	6,210		$	5,875
100 basis point decrease	$	(6,210	)	$	(5,875	)

Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $294.3 million and $243.8 million, respectively. 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. 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.

Credit Performance Sensitivity

Credit performance sensitivity refers to the risk of loss arising from default when borrowers are unable or unwilling to meet their financial obligations. We invest in loans and asset-backed securities (including residual interests) related to Structured Program transactions. The performance of these loans and asset-backed securities is dependent on the credit performance of loans facilitated by us. To manage this risk, we monitor borrower payment performance and how it may impact the valuation of our investments. The valuation of these investments is based

101

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

on a discounted cash flow analysis and includes Level 3 assumptions. Any unrealized losses on asset-backed securities (including residual interests) are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment and any impairment is recorded in earnings. All other unrealized gains and losses are recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Loans Invested in by the Company. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we were exposed to credit performance risk on $812.7 million and $766.0 million of loans invested in by the Company at fair value, respectively, which have fixed interest rates. The following table presents the impact to the fair value of loans invested in by the Company due to a hypothetical change in credit loss rates as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:



	Loans Invested in by the Company

Asset-backed Securities Related to Structured Program Transactions. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we were exposed to credit performance risk on $203.3 million and $220.1 million of asset-backed securities related to Structured Program transactions, respectively, including securities pledged as collateral. The following table presents the impact to the fair value of asset-backed securities related to Structured Program transactions due to a hypothetical change in credit loss rates as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

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 amended) as of March 31, 2020. 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 March 31, 2020, 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

102

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

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) occurred during the first quarter of 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a comprehensive discussion of legal proceedings, see “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 18. 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, 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 the Annual Report remains current in all material respects, with the exception of the below.

Our business has been and will likely continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the mitigation efforts by governments to attempt to control its spread, including the closure of non-essential businesses and shelter in place orders, have resulted in an unprecedented reduction in economic activity and significant dislocation on consumers, businesses, capital markets and the broader economy. In particular, the impact of COVID-19 on the finances of our borrowers has been profound as many have been, and will likely continue to be, impacted by unemployment, reduced earnings and/or elevated economic disruption and insecurity.

There are no comparable recent events to accurately predict the effect COVID-19 may have, and, as a result, its ultimate impact is highly uncertain and subject to change. As of the date of this Report, COVID-19 has had, and may continue to have, a number of adverse effects on our business and results of operations, including the following:


•	Negative pressure on overall platform returns, including as a result of increased credit risk of borrowers (including elevated delinquencies and charge-off rates) and the implementation of forbearance plans;


•	Materially decreased platform investor demand for our products and an inability for many platform investors to secure funding or financing arrangements;


•	Materially decreased borrower demand for certain of our products, including our patient finance loans which provide financing for elective medical and dental procedures;


•	Reduced borrower approval rates, including as a result of credit and other adjustments that aim to protect investor returns;

103

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION


•	Reduced platform volume due, including as a result of efforts to balance the platform, resulting in materially reduced revenues;


•	An inability to offer our structured products due to the impact of COVID-19 on the capital markets; and


•	Impeded liquidity and negative fair-value adjustments with respect to assets held on our balance sheet.

In response to the impact of COVID-19, the Company has undertaken a number of initiatives to support its borrowers, protect investor returns, and preserve capital and liquidity. For example, we have added customer support capacity and instituted new payment and hardship plans, adjusted our credit and underwriting processes and standards, and undertaken a number of measures that aim to balance the platform without further use of the Company’s balance sheet. We will continue to actively monitor the situation, assess possible implications to our business and take appropriate actions in an effort to mitigate the adverse consequences of COVID-19. However, there can be no assurances that the initiatives taken by the Company will be sufficient or successful.

Further, our compliance with measures to contain the spread of or otherwise related to COVID-19 has impacted our day-to-day operations and could disrupt our business and operations, as well as that of our key vendors and counterparties, for an indefinite period of time. To keep our employees safe and secure, we have temporarily closed our physical work spaces, instituted additional paid leave policies and leveraged technology to enable remote working. The disruptions caused by COVID-19 may result in inefficiencies and delays in product development, marketing, operations and customer service efforts that we cannot fully mitigate. Further, especially given our recent reduction in workforce by approximately 460 employees due to COVID-19, employee attrition or unavailability (for health reasons or otherwise) may adversely impact our operations and ability to execute on company initiatives and strategy.

The extent to which COVID-19 will continue to negatively impact our business and results of operations will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including the duration of the pandemic, actions taken to treat or control the spread of COVID-19, any re-emergence of COVID-19 or related diseases, and the intermediate and longer-term impact on consumers, businesses and the broader economy. For example, COVID-19 raises the possibility of an extended global economic downturn, which could affect the performance of and demand for our products and services and adversely impact our business and results of operations even after the pandemic is contained.

The COVID-19 pandemic, and its impact, may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (Annual Report), such as our ability to consummate the acquisition of Radius Bancorp, Inc., managing our liquidity, growing platform volume and our exposure to litigation, and government and regulatory investigations, inquiries and requests.

As disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, public health issues could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Consistent with such disclosures, any one or a combination of the factors identified above could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
