Dear Stockholders of ContextLogic Inc.:

It is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Annual Meeting” or “2021 Annual Meeting”) of ContextLogic Inc. d/b/a “Wish,” to be held on Tuesday, June 8, 2021 at 10 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time.

You may attend the virtual meeting, submit questions, and vote your shares electronically during the meeting via live webcast by visiting http://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/WISH2021.

Details regarding the business to be conducted at our Annual Meeting are more fully described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement.

We are pleased to take advantage of the Securities and Exchange Commission rules that allow us to furnish proxy materials to stockholders over the Internet. We believe that providing our proxy materials over the Internet increases the accessibility of our information to stockholders while reducing the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. On or around April 28, 2021, we expect to mail to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on how to access the proxy statement for our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Proxy Statement”) and our 2020 Annual Report. The Notice will also provide instructions on how to vote online or by telephone, and how to receive printed proxy materials by mail.

Whether or not you plan to virtually attend our Annual Meeting, your vote is important and we encourage you to vote promptly. You may vote by proxy over the Internet or by telephone, or, if you have received printed proxy materials by mail, you can also vote by mail by following the instructions on your proxy card. If you virtually attend our Annual Meeting, you will have the right to revoke your proxy and vote electronically during the meeting via the live webcast. If you hold your shares through an account with a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee, please follow the instructions you receive from your brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee to vote your shares.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your continued interest and support in Wish.

Sincerely,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING

Why am I receiving these materials?

These proxy materials are being provided because the Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) of ContextLogic Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” “ContextLogic,” or “Wish”) is soliciting your proxy to vote at our 2021 Annual Meeting.

Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials in the mail instead of a printed set of proxy materials?

In accordance with rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we may furnish our proxy materials over the Internet to our stockholders by delivering a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) in the mail instead of mailing printed copies of a full set of proxy materials. The Notice instructs you on how to access and review the Proxy Statement and Annual Report over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com. The Notice also instructs you on how to submit your proxy over the Internet and vote online at our Annual Meeting. If you would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions for requesting these materials contained in the Notice.

What is a virtual Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be conducted as a virtual meeting of stockholders by means of a live webcast. We believe that hosting a virtual meeting will provide an accessible stockholder experience, cost savings to our stockholders, and support the health of our stockholders and employees given the current public health impact of the coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”). You can virtually attend the Annual Meeting by visiting http://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/WISH2021, where you will be able to vote your shares and submit your questions during the meeting via the Internet. There will not be a physical meeting location and you will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

We invite you to virtually attend the Annual Meeting and request that you vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. However, you do not need to attend the virtual meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may vote by Internet, by telephone, or, if you have requested and received printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may also vote by completing and mailing in your proxy card.

The Annual Meeting starts at 10 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. We encourage you to access the meeting website prior to the start time to allow for check in. If you encounter any difficulties with accessing the virtual meeting at any point, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting log-in page.

You do not need to register to virtually attend the Annual Meeting webcast. Follow the instructions on your Notice or proxy card (if you requested and received a printed copy of the proxy materials) to access the Annual Meeting.

If you wish to submit a question on the day of the Annual Meeting, you may log in to the virtual meeting platform at http://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/WISH2021 and submit your question through the Q&A tab. Questions pertinent to meeting matters will be answered during the Annual Meeting, subject to time constraints. Questions regarding personal matters, including those related to employment, are not pertinent to Annual Meeting matters and therefore, will not be answered.

What am I voting on?

There are four matters scheduled for a vote:

• Election of all of our existing directors to serve until the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, who include Piotr Szulczewski, Julie Bradley, Ari Emanuel, Joe Lonsdale, Jacqueline Reses, Tanzeen Syed, Stephanie Tilenius, and Hans Tung;

• Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021;

• To approve, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020, as disclosed herein; and

• To approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency of holding an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers.

ContextLogic Inc. Proxy Statement and Notice of 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders     1

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING (continued)

 

How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote on these proposals?

The Board of Directors recommends the following votes:

• “FOR” the election of each director nominee;

• “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021;

• “FOR” our executive compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020; and

• “FOR” the frequency of holding an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers every “1 YEAR.”

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 12, 2021 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On this record date, there were 504,180,875 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Class A Common Stock”) and 114,802,497 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (“Class B Common Stock”) outstanding. Each holder of our Class A Common Stock has the right to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held as of the record date, and each holder of our Class B Common Stock has the right to 20 votes for each share of Class B Common Stock held as of the record date.

Registered Stockholders. If shares of our common stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice was provided to you directly by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote electronically at the Annual Meeting. Throughout this Proxy Statement, we refer to these registered stockholders as“stockholders of record.”

Street Name Stockholders. If shares of our common stock are held on your behalf in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee,then you are considered to be the beneficial owner of shares that are held in “street name” or a street name stockholder and the Notice was forwarded to you by your broker or nominee, who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. Beneficial owners are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not virtually attend the Annual Meeting and vote electronically at the Annual Meeting unless you follow your broker’ s procedures for obtaining a legal proxy. If you have requested a printed copy of our proxy materials by mail, your broker, bank, or other nominee will provide a voting instruction form for you to use. Throughout this Proxy Statement, we refer to stockholders who hold their shares through a broker, bank, or other nominee as “street name stockholders.”

How do I vote?

If on April 12, 2021, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a stockholder of record. Stockholders of record may vote by using the Internet, by telephone, or (if you have received a proxy card by mail) by mail as described below. Stockholders may also attend the virtual meeting and vote electronically. If you hold shares through a bank or broker, please refer to your proxy card, Notice, or other information forwarded by your bank or broker to see which voting options are available to you.

• You may vote via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com by following the instructions for Internet voting on the Notice or proxy card mailed to you. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day and will be accessible until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 7, 2021. Easy-to-follow instructions are available to allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.

• You may vote by telephone by dialing 800-690-6903 and following the instructions for voting by phone on the Notice or proxy card mailed to you. Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day and will be accessible until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 7, 2021. Easy-to-follow voice prompts are available to allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.

• You may vote by mail by requesting, completing, and mailing in a paper proxy card, as outlined in the Notice. The method you use to vote will not limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting if you decide to virtually attend the Annual Meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING (continued)

 

• If you wish to vote electronically at the meeting, go to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/WISH2021 using your unique control number included in the proxy materials mailed to you.

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

If you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted (i) “For” the election of all nine of your Board of Directors’ nominees for director, (ii) “For” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, (iii) “For” the advisory approval of our Company’s executive compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020, and (iv) “For” a frequency of the advisory vote on our Company’s executive compensation of one year, as disclosed herein. However, if you are not a record holder, and your shares are held instead through a broker, nominee, fiduciary, or other custodian, you must provide voting instructions to the record holder of the shares in accordance with the record holder’s requirements in order for your shares to be properly voted. If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms, banks, and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card or Notice?

If you receive more than one proxy card or Notice, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, sign, and return each proxy card, or submit a proxy for each Notice to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

What if I share an address with another stockholder of Wish?

If you reside at the same address as another Wish stockholder, you and other Wish stockholders residing at the same address will receive a single copy of the Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials. If you wish to receive an additional, separate copy of the Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials, please make a written request to: ContextLogic Inc., One Sansome Street, 40^th Floor, San Francisco, California 94104, Attention: General Counsel and Secretary. Upon your request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy to you. The Annual Report, Proxy Statement, and Notice are also available at www.proxyvote.com.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the meeting. You may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

• You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date.

• You may send a written notice indicating that you are revoking your proxy to the Secretary of the Company at One Sansome Street, 40^th Floor, San Francisco, California 94104.

• You may virtually attend the Annual Meeting and vote electronically by going to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/WISH2021 and using your unique control number that was included in the Proxy Materials that you received in the mail. Simply attending the meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

Who will solicit proxies on behalf of our Board of Directors?

Proxies may be solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors, without any additional compensation, by the Company’s directors and employees.

The original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, telegram, facsimile, electronic mail, and personal solicitation by our directors and officers (who will receive no additional compensation for such solicitation activities). You may also be solicited by advertisements in periodicals, press releases issued by us, and postings on our corporate website at www.ir.wish.com. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, information contained on our corporate website is not part of this Proxy Statement.

ContextLogic Inc. Proxy Statement and Notice of 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders     3

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING (continued)

 

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the Inspector of Election appointed for the meeting, who will separately count “For” and “Against” votes, votes “Withheld,” abstentions, and broker non-votes. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. For Proposal 1, abstentions will not be considered as votes cast for or against any director, and will therefore have no effect on the outcome of the vote. For Proposals 2, 3, and 4, abstentions will not be considered as votes cast for or against any proposal, and will therefore have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Broker non-votes, as described in the next paragraph, have no effect and will not be counted towards the vote total for such proposals.

If your shares are held by your bank or broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you will need to obtain a voting instruction form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to “non-discretionary” items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on which your broker may vote shares held in street name without your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes. Under current NYSE rules, any election of a member of the Board of Directors, whether contested or uncontested, is considered “non-discretionary,” and therefore, brokers are not permitted to vote your shares held in street name for the election of directors in the absence of instructions from you. All of our proposals, except for Proposal 2, are “non-discretionary,” and therefore, if your shares are held through a broker, nominee, fiduciary, or other custodian, your shares will not be voted on those proposals unless you provide voting instructions to the record holder.

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

• For Proposal 1, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast with respect to such director. This means that nominees receiving the most “For” votes will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast on this proposal and will not have any effect on the election of directors.

• To be approved, Proposal 2, which seeks to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, must receive a “For” vote from a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions are not counted as a vote cast for or against the proposal, and therefore, have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Broker non-votes, if any, are counted towards a quorum, but are not counted for any purpose in determining whether this matter has been approved.

• To be approved, Proposal 3, which seeks advisory approval of our executive compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020, must receive a “For” vote from a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions are not counted as a vote cast for or against the proposal, and therefore, have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Broker non-votes are counted towards a quorum, but are not counted for any purpose in determining whether this matter has been approved. However, the advisory approval of our executive compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020 is advisory and non-binding in nature and cannot overrule any decisions made by our Board of Directors.

• With respect to Proposal 4, the option among one year, two years, or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be the frequency for the advisory vote on our executive compensation that has been selected by stockholders. Abstentions are not counted as a vote cast for any option under the proposal and therefore have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Broker non-votes are counted towards a quorum, but are not counted as a vote cast for any option under the proposal and therefore have no effect on the outcome of the vote. However, because this vote is advisory and is not binding on our Board of Directors, our Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and the Company to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by our stockholders.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum exists if stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (voting together as a single class) entitled to vote are present at the Annual Meeting in person or represented by proxy.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy vote or vote at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING (continued)

 

How will my shares be voted if I mark “Abstain” on my proxy card?

We will count a properly executed proxy card marked “Abstain” as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but the shares represented by that proxy card will not be voted at the Annual Meeting for the proposals so marked.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be available on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four business days after the end of the Annual Meeting.

When are stockholder proposals due for next year’s Annual Meeting?

If you wish to submit a proposal to be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy materials, your proposal must follow the guidelines outlined in SEC Regulation 14A, Rule 14a-8 and received by the Secretary of the Company on or before December 29, 2021. If you wish to submit a proposal to be presented at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, but which will not be included in the Company’s proxy materials, including to nominate a director, your Solicitation Notice, as defined in our Bylaws, must be received by the Secretary of the Company at ContextLogic Inc., One Sansome Street, 40th Floor, San Francisco, California 94104, Attention: General Counsel and Secretary, no earlier than February 8, 2022, and no later than March 10, 2022. You are advised to review our Bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.

Corporate Governance and Board Matters

Director Independence

As required under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Select Global Market (“Nasdaq”), a majority of the members of a listed company’s Board of Directors must be independent within 12 months following the closing of an initial public offering. Management and outside counsel have reviewed the directors’ responses to a questionnaire asking about their transactions, relationships, and arrangements with the Company (and those of their immediate family members), and other potential conflicts of interest. Other than as set forth in this Proxy Statement, these questionnaires did not disclose any transactions, relationships, or arrangements that question or compromise the independence of our directors or director nominees. After reviewing this information, our Board of Directors affirmatively determined that each of our non-employee directors was an independent director within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards in 2020. The independent members of our Board of Directors will hold separate regularly scheduled executive session meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Messrs. Emanuel and Syed, and Ms. Tilenius. Mr. Syed chairs the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each member of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is independent as currently defined under Nasdaq listing standards.

• Developing recommendations for continuing education programs for directors and overseeing any programs relating to corporate responsibility.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter can be found on the “Corporate Governance” section of our corporate website at www.ir.wish.com. Each of Messrs. Emanuel and Syed, and Ms. Tilenius served on our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee during 2020. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which was formed in connection with our initial public offering in December 2020, did not meet in 2020.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the minimum qualifications and skills that candidates for director should possess include: (i) the highest professional and personal ethics and values, (ii) a commitment to enhancing stockholder value, and (iii) sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on experience. The Committee also considers the following factors, in no particular order of importance: (i) various and relevant career experience, (ii) relevant skills, such as an understanding of the Company’s business and technology, (iii) financial expertise, (iv) diversity, and (v) local and community ties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee retains the right to modify these qualifications from time to time.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, diversity is one of several critical factors considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee when evaluating the composition of our Board of Directors, amongst other selection criteria. We consider various diversity factors when considering director candidates, including race, ethnicity, gender, age, professional experience, national origin, and geography. Our Board of Directors currently includes directors embodying a range of diversity. We believe each director contributes to our Board’s overall diversity by providing a variety of perspectives based on distinct personal and professional experiences and backgrounds. We are committed to maintaining and enhancing the diversity of our Board of Directors and in furtherance of this, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will conduct annual self-evaluations to assess its performance and effectiveness, which we expect will include its consideration of diversity and other selection criteria.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders and evaluate them using the same criteria as candidates identified by our Board or the Committee for consideration. If a stockholder of the Company wishes to recommend a director candidate for consideration by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the stockholder recommendation should be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company, and must include information regarding the candidate and the stockholder making the recommendation.

Compensation Committee Interlocks And Insider Participation

Each of Messrs. Lonsdale, Syed, and Tung, and Ms. Reses served on our Compensation Committee during 2020. None of the members of our Compensation Committee has at any time during the 2020 fiscal year (or at any other time) served as an officer or employee of the Company. None of our executive officers serves as a member of the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors represents our stockholders and the Board’s primary purpose is to build long-term stockholder value. Our Board has combined the roles of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, held by Piotr Szulczewski. Our Board has determined that we would be best served by having a Chairperson with deep operational and strategic knowledge of our business. Our Board has also appointed Mr. Syed as our Lead Independent Director. Our Board has determined that we would be best served by also having a lead independent director to be responsible for conducting sessions with the independent directors as part of every Board of Directors meeting, calling special meetings of the independent directors, and chairing all meetings of the independent directors. The guidance and direction provided by our Lead Independent Director reinforces the Board’s independent oversight of management and improves communication among Board members.

Risk Oversight Management

Our Board of Directors provides risk oversight for the Company by receiving management presentations, including risk assessments, from all functional areas of the Company, and discussing these assessments with management. In particular, our Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure. Our executive officers are responsible for the day-to-day management of the material risks we face. The risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from Board committees and members of senior management to enable our Board of Directors to understand our risk identification, risk management, and risk mitigation strategies with respect to areas of potential material risk, including operations, finance, legal, regulatory, cyber security, strategic, and reputational risk. Our Board of Directors administers its oversight function directly as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our Board of Directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. Our Board of Directors has delegated responsibility related to certain risks to the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Audit Committee discusses with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our risk management guidelines and policies, our major financial risk exposures, and the steps taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has primary responsibility to oversee risks related to Board structure and composition, and corporate governance.

Our Compensation Committee oversees risks related to our compensation programs, and discusses with management its annual assessment of employee compensation policies and programs. Based upon this review, our Compensation Committee believes that any risks arising from such policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future. Specifically, we believe that the elements of our compensation program do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Base salaries are fixed in amount, and thus, do not encourage risk taking. A significant proportion of the compensation provided to our executives, and a material amount of the compensation provided to other employees, is in the form of long-term equity awards that are important to help further align employee interests with those of our stockholders. We do not believe that these awards encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking because the ultimate value of the awards is tied to our stock price, and because awards are subject to long-term vesting schedules to help ensure that employees have significant value tied to long-term stock price performance.

Stockholder Communications with our Board of Directors

Stockholders wishing to communicate with our Board of Directors or with an individual member of our Board of Directors may do so by writing to our Board of Directors or to the particular member of our Board of Directors, care of the General Counsel and Secretary by mail to our principal executive offices, Attention: General Counsel and Secretary. The front of the envelope should indicate that it contains stockholder communication. All clearly marked written communications, other than unsolicited advertising or promotional materials, are

logged and copied, and forwarded to the director(s) to whom the communication was addressed. Please note that the foregoing communication procedure does not apply to: (i) stockholder proposals pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 14a-8 and communications made in connection with such proposals, or (ii) service of process or any other notice in a legal proceeding.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors met 7 times during 2020. Each member of our Board of Directors attended 100% or more of the aggregate of the meetings of our Board of Directors and of the Committees on which he or she served, held during the period for which such member was a Director or Committee Member. Members of our Board of Directors and its Committees also consulted informally with management from time to time and acted at various times by written consent without a meeting during 2020. While we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our Board of Directors at our annual meetings of stockholders, all directors are encouraged to attend our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all of our employees, officers, and directors. We also expect our contractors, consultants, suppliers, agents, and other third parties to follow our Code of Conduct and Ethics in connection with their work for us. The full text of our Code of Conduct and Ethics is posted on the “Corporate Governance” section of our corporate website at www.ir.wish.com. We intend to disclose future amendments to, or waivers, of our Code of Conduct and Ethics as and to the extent required by SEC regulations, at the same location on our website identified above and in public filings. Our Code of Conduct and Ethics represents our commitment to business integrity. The purpose of our Code of Conduct and Ethics is to promote compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and company policies; address common ethical situations we could encounter in our business; promote integrity and the highest standards of ethical conduct; and avoid even the appearance of anything improper in connection with our business activities.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the compensation for our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer, and our three other most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of 2020, whom we refer to herein as our “named executive officers.” Our named executive officers for 2020 were:

• Piotr Szulczewski, our Founder, CEO, and Chairperson of our Board of Directors;

• Rajat Bahri, our Chief Financial Officer;

• Devang Shah, our General Counsel and Secretary;

• Thomas Chuang, our Vice President of Operations; and

• Pai Liu, our Vice President of Data Science.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of our executive compensation program for our named executive officers during 2020 and discusses the key factors that were considered in determining their compensation.

Compensation Philosophy and Design

Our Company’s compensation program is designed to allow us to hire, retain, and motivate talented employees, who enable us to succeed in a rapidly evolving competitive environment and achieve our financial and strategic objectives. We expect our executive team to demonstrate strong leadership and management capabilities and to strengthen our culture, all of which are critical to our success.

Our executive compensation program is oriented towards our long-term retention and value creation objectives, and structured to ensure that a significant portion of an executive’s compensation opportunity is at risk and tied to the delivery of stockholder value.

Our executive compensation program is simple and easy to understand and administer. We avoid tying executive compensation to a limited number of prescribed short-term financial or strategic objectives. Instead, we strive to achieve the following objectives:

• Provide market-competitive compensation opportunities to hire, motivate, and retain high-performing executives whose experience, skills, and impact are critical to our success;

• Provide fixed cash compensation and long-term incentives that encourage appropriate levels of risk-taking by the executive team and align their interests with those of company stakeholders; and

• Ensure that our compensation program is equitable for similarly-situated executives to drive collaboration towards achievement of our long-term business goals.

For executives other than our CEO, our compensation program has two basic components:

• Base salaries; and

• Periodic grants of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with four-year vesting.

To focus our named executive officers on the fulfillment of our business objectives, a significant portion of their compensation is equity-based. We emphasize the use of equity compensation in the form of RSU awards to motivate our named executive officers to focus on the growth of our overall enterprise value and, correspondingly, to create sustainable long-term value for our stockholders. Our use of RSUs is also consistent with broad competitive market practices at comparable technology companies. We believe that having a substantial portion of our named executive officers’ compensation tied to RSUs aligns more closely with our business strategy to focus on long-term growth and innovation. We desire that our executives share in the risk and rewards of our long-term performance, similar to our stockholders.

For our CEO, we also utilize performance-based RSUs, which we believe provide even further retention and incentive objectives for him, as well as further aligns his interests with those of our stockholders.

In addition, to maintain a competitive compensation program, we also offer cash compensation in the form of base salaries to reward individual contributions and to compensate our executives for their day-to-day responsibilities. Currently, we do not provide any form

ContextLogic Inc. Proxy Statement and Notice of 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders     19

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (continued)

 

of short-term incentive to our named executive officers. We expect our named executive officers to perform at a level deserving of a bonus, however, and have taken this into consideration along with our ongoing corporate financial performance in establishing their current total direct compensation opportunities.

Our Compensation Committee evaluates our compensation practices on an ongoing basis to determine whether they are appropriate to hire, retain, and reward outstanding performers. Such evaluations, along with our ongoing outreach with key company investors, may result in refinements to the compensation program, including changes in how compensation is determined and awarded.

Compensation-Setting Process

During 2020, our CEO, our Board of Directors, and our Compensation Committee were involved in determining the compensation of our named executive officers.

Prior to our initial public offering in December 2020, our Compensation Committee was comprised of three independent directors who were delegated responsibility for overseeing our executive compensation program, with specific authority to review and recommend to our Board of Directors the compensation payable to our CEO and executive vice presidents, including the adjustment of base salaries each year and all bonus and other incentive compensation programs for such executives.

Going forward, the Compensation Committee will be responsible for our executive compensation program, including establishing our executive compensation philosophy, policies, and practices, and determining the specific compensation, including cash and equity, for our named executive officers. The members of the Compensation Committee periodically discuss our overall executive compensation philosophy and review quantitative competitive market compensation perspectives (with the assistance of its external consultants and advisors) along with applicable qualitative factors relevant to compensation-decision making including company and executive performance. We expect that the Compensation Committee will continue to review, evaluate, and modify the executive compensation framework as a result of our becoming a publicly-traded company. Consequently, our compensation program may, over time, vary from our historical practices.

Independent Compensation Consultant and Peer Group

Our Compensation Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside consultants and advisors to assist it in making decisions regarding our executive compensation program. Compensia, a national compensation consulting firm, was originally retained by us to provide executive compensation advisory services in May 2019, and was subsequently retained by our Compensation Committee in August 2020. The advisory services Compensia provides to the Compensation Committee include the following:

• development and continued review of a compensation peer group for purposes of conducting competitive market assessments;

• analysis of our executive officers’ base salaries and equity compensation levels and plan structures;

• assistance with our equity compensation strategy, including the development of award guidelines and an aggregate spending budget; and

• review of considerations and market practices related to short-term cash incentive plans.

Our Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Compensia pursuant to SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards, and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent Compensia from independently representing it.

To assist our Compensation Committee in evaluating the different components of compensation to be paid to our named executive officers, our Compensation Committee relies on compensation data from a group of peer companies developed with the assistance of Compensia. In July 2020, our Compensation Committee determined the companies that would constitute our peer group for compensation decisions in the second half of 2020 in connection with our initial public offering. Compensia identified potential peer companies using the following criteria:

• Location: Companies with headquarters in the U.S., with specific focus on companies located in the San Francisco Bay Area

• Industry: Companies with a focus on Internet and direct marketing retail, Internet services, software, and interactive media and services

• Revenue: Companies with revenue generally ranging from 0.5x to 2.5x our annual net commissions revenue estimate and strong (e.g., 20%+) annual revenue growth rates

20    ContextLogic Inc. Proxy Statement and Notice of 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (continued)

 

• Market Cap: Companies generally with a market cap ranging up to 2.5x our market cap

• Additional Considerations: Preference for similar-stage/recently public companies

Based on this criteria, our Compensation Committee approved the following companies for the peer group:

Chewy	Roku
DocuSign	Shopify
Dropbox	Slack Technologies
Etsy	Snap
GoDaddy	Splunk
Lyft	Square
Okta	Stitch Fix
Palo Alto Networks	Twilio
Peloton Interactive	Twitter
Pinterest	Wayfair
RingCentral	Zillow Group

Compensation Elements

In 2020, we used cash and equity compensation to provide an overall competitive total compensation and benefits package to our named executive officers that is tied to creating value, commensurate with our results, and aligns with our business strategy. Set forth below are the key elements of the compensation program for our named executive officers for 2020.

Base Salary

As part of the Company’s annual review process and in conjunction with our initial public offering, our Compensation Committee reviewed the base salaries of our named executive officers in August 2020 based on an analysis prepared by Compensia, taking into account relative data from our peers, and a review of each individual’s performance, criticality, tenure, and review of peer compensation data. Our Compensation Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the base salaries of Messrs. Bahri, Shah, and Chuang be increased, effective as of September 1, 2020 as set forth below in order to align their base salaries with the 50th percentile of the executives at the companies in our peer group with similar roles. Our Compensation Committee did not adjust the base salaries for Messrs. Szulczewski and Liu based primarily on a review of their competitiveness relative to peer executives in similar roles.

The base salaries of our named executive officers during fiscal 2020, including the increased salaries to reflect the September 1, 2020 adjustment, were as follows:

Named Executive Officer	Fiscal 2020 Base Salary Prior to 9/1/2020	Fiscal 2020 Base Salary Effective 9/1/2020	Percentage Increase
Mr. Szulczewski	$450,000	$450,000	—%
Mr. Bahri	$380,000	$515,000	35.5%
Mr. Shah	$340,000	$450,000	32.3%
Mr. Chuang	$290,000	$305,000	5.2%
Mr. Liu	$302,500(1)	$303,000	—%

Reflects a base salary increase effective August 12, 2020 from $275,000 to reflect his appointment as our Vice President of Data Science.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

In 2020, we used RSU awards as the principal component of our executive compensation program. Consistent with our compensation objectives, we believe this approach aligned our named executive officers’ contributions with our long-term interests and allowed our named executive officers to be accountable for and participate in any future appreciation in our common stock. Prior to our initial public offering, our RSU awards generally included both a multi-year service-based vesting requirement (generally four years) and a liquidity

ContextLogic Inc. Proxy Statement and Notice of 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders     21

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (continued)

 

event vesting requirement (that is, the effectiveness of either a sale event or an initial public offering) (the “Liquidity Event”), allowing them to serve as an effective retention tool while also motivating our named executive officers to work toward corporate objectives that provide a meaningful return to our stockholders.

In granting equity awards, our Board of Directors generally considers, among other things, the named executive officer’s cash compensation, the need to create a meaningful opportunity for reward predicated on the creation of long-term stockholder value, our financial results, our total annual equity budget, an evaluation of the expected and actual performance of each named executive officer, his individual contributions and responsibilities, the retention hold of his existing equity awards and how that lapses over time as awards vest, and the recommendations of our CEO (except with respect to his own equity award) which take into account peer market data from Compensia and internal pay parity considerations.

Annual Refresh Grants in 2020

As part of our annual performance review cycle and in conjunction with our initial public offering, our Compensation Committee reviewed the factors described above and determined to recommend to our Board of Directors that our named executive officers other than Mr. Szulczewski be granted RSU awards.

The RSU awards granted to our named executive officers other than Mr. Szulczewski were in the following amounts:

Named Executive Officer	RSU Award (number of shares)	RSU Award (grant date fair value)
Mr. Bahri	250,000	$4,092,250
Mr. Shah	250,000	$4,092,250
Mr. Chuang	100,000	$1,636,900
Mr. Liu	117,950	$1,930,724

These annual “refresh” awards vest (i) monthly over a four-year period, contingent upon the named executive officer remaining continuously employed by us through each applicable vesting date and (ii) subject to the occurrence of a Liquidity Event. Our initial public offering in December 2020 resulted in the satisfaction of the Liquidity Event requirement for the RSUs granted in September 2020 to our named executive officers.

Information with respect to the potential accelerated vesting applied to the equity awards held by certain of our named executive officers in the event of a change of control of our Company or the termination of the named executive officer’s services in connection with or following a change of control of our company is discussed under “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

CEO Performance Award

In December 2020, in conjunction with our initial public offering, Mr. Szulczewski was granted an award of RSUs under our 2010 Stock Plan covering 10,021,500 shares of our Class B common stock (the “CEO Performance Award”). The CEO Performance Award is intended to provide retention, incentive and stockholder alignment objectives for Mr. Szulczewski and only is earned and vests if he satisfies a service-based vesting condition and we achieve certain rigorous stock price targets over a period of up to seven years following our initial public offering. Our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee both believed at the time of grant of the CEO Performance Award that the stock price targets represented challenging hurdles and, if achieved, would result in a significant return to our stockholders in excess of market norms for comparable technology companies.

The CEO Performance Award is eligible to vest based on our stock price performance over a performance period beginning six months after the effective date of our initial public offering and ending on the seventh anniversary thereof. The award is divided into five tranches that are eligible to vest based on the achievement of stock price targets (each referred to as a “Company Stock Price Target”) measured based on the 60-trading day trailing average per-share closing price of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market during the performance period, as set forth below. The Company Stock Price Targets are expressed as a percentage increase above $23 per share (such price, the “Base Price” of the award).

Tranche	Company Stock Price Target (as % increase in Base Price)	Company Stock Price Target	Number of RSUs Earned If Price Target Achieved	Portion of RSUs Eligible to Vest (% of Total RSUs)
1	100%	$46	1,002,150	10%
2	200%	$69	1,503,230	15%
3	300%	$92	2,004,300	20%
4	400%	$115	2,505,370	25%
5	500%	$138	3,006,450	30%

In order for any of these RSUs to be earned and vest, and except as described below in connection with certain change in control transactions, Mr. Szulczewski must remain employed as our CEO through at least the second anniversary of our initial public offering and thereafter he must continue to serve as our CEO as of each applicable Company Stock Price Target achievement date. If our Class A common stock price fails to reach a Company Stock Price Target during the performance period, that portion of the CEO Performance Award will not vest (except as described below).

Under the terms of the CEO Performance Award, certain of the Company Stock Price Targets may also be achieved in connection with a change in control of our company, such that Mr. Szulczewski could earn and vest in up to all of the RSUs. In connection with a change in control (as defined in the applicable award agreement for the CEO Performance Award) that occurs within the first two years after our initial public offering and subject to Mr. Szulczewski continuing to serve as our CEO through immediately prior to the change in control, he could earn and vest in 50% of the otherwise un-earned portion of the RSUs if the per share value of our Class A common stock in the transaction (the “deal price”) is at least equal to the Tranche 1 Company Stock Price Target, and he could earn and vest in all the RSUs if the deal price is at least equal to the Tranche 2 Company Stock Price Target, except if he incurs an involuntary termination of employment (as such term is defined in the CEO Performance Award agreement) after the change in control and prior to the second anniversary of our initial public offering, then 100% of the RSUs that he would have otherwise been entitled to earn if he had continued to serve as our CEO through the second anniversary of our initial public offering will immediately vest, subject to his compliance with the terms of his severance and change in control agreement with us. Thereafter, he could earn and vest in all the RSUs on a change in control occurring after the second anniversary and on or prior to the fourth anniversary of our initial public offering if the deal price is at least equal to the Tranche 2 Company Stock Price Target and on a change in control occurring after the fourth anniversary of our initial public offering if the deal price is above the Tranche 4 Company Stock Price Target, in each case, subject to him continuing to serve as our CEO through immediately prior to the change in control.

Health and Welfare Benefits

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the same employee benefit plans, and on the same terms and conditions, as all other full-time, salaried U.S. employees. These benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, business travel insurance, an employee assistance program, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts, basic life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance, and commuter benefits.

We design our employee benefits programs to be affordable and competitive in relation to the market as well as compliant with applicable laws and practices. We adjust our employee benefits programs as needed based upon regular monitoring of applicable laws and practices and the competitive market.

Retirement Benefits

We maintain a Section 401(k) plan for our employees, including our named executive officers. The Section 401(k) plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code, so that contributions to the plan by employees or by us, and the investment earnings thereon, are not taxable to the employees until withdrawn, and so that contributions made by us, if any, will be deductible by us when made. Currently, we do not provide company matching contributions to participants in the Section 401(k) plan.

We do not provide pension arrangements for our named executive officers or other employees, nor do we provide any nonqualified defined contribution or other deferred compensation plans to any of our employees.

Perquisites and other Personal Benefits

Currently, we do not view perquisites or other personal benefits as a significant component of our executive compensation program. Accordingly, we do not provide significant perquisites or other personal benefits to our named executive officers except as generally made available to our employees or in situations where we believe it is appropriate to assist an individual in the performance of his or her duties, to make him or her more efficient and effective, and for recruitment and retention purposes. During 2020, none of our named executive officers received perquisites or other personal benefits that were, in the aggregate, $10,000 or more for each individual.

In the future, we may provide perquisites or other personal benefits in limited circumstances, such as those described in the preceding paragraph. All future practices with respect to perquisites or other personal benefits will be approved and subject to periodic review by the Compensation Committee.

Employment Arrangements

We have entered into written employment offer letters with each of our named executive officers. We believe that these arrangements were necessary to secure the service of these individuals in a highly competitive job market.

Each of these employment offer letters does not have a specific term, provides for “at will” employment (meaning that either we or the named executive officer may terminate the employment relationship at any time without cause) and generally sets forth the named executive officer’s initial base salary, eligibility to participate in our standard employee benefit plans and programs, and includes a recommendation for an equity award to be approved by our Board of Directors. In addition, each of these employment offer letters required the named executive officer to execute our standard Proprietary (Confidential) Information and Inventions Agreement.

Our named executive officers are also eligible for certain severance and change in control-related acceleration benefits pursuant to either their offer letters or severance and change in control agreements, as described further in “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

As a general matter, we review and consider the various tax and accounting implications of the compensation vehicles that we use.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

In approving the amount and form of compensation for our named executive officers, our Board of Directors will consider all elements of our cost of providing such compensation, including the potential impact of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Our Board of Directors believes that our stockholders’ interests are best served if its discretion and flexibility in awarding compensation is not restricted, even though some portion may result in non-deductible compensation expense. Thus, we expect that in future years, some portion of the compensation of our named executive officers may not be fully deductible by us for federal income tax purposes.

Accounting Implications

We follow FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, for our stock-based compensation awards. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires us to measure the compensation expense for all share-based payments made to our employees and the members of our Board of Directors, including options to purchase shares of our common stock and other stock-based awards, based on the grant date “fair value” of these awards. This calculation is performed for financial accounting purposes and reported in the compensation tables below, even though recipients may never realize any value from their awards. FASB ASC Topic 718 also requires us to recognize the compensation cost of our share-based compensation awards in our income statements over the period that a recipient is required to render services in exchange for the option or other award.

Elements of Total Compensation—Risks and Mitigating Factors

We believe that the structure of our executive compensation program provides a mix of cash and equity compensation that balances short- and long-term incentives. We believe that the different time horizons and metrics used in the annual and long-term elements of compensation provide incentives to build our business prudently and profitably over time, while encouraging retention of our top talent. In addition, each element of compensation has been designed and is administered in a manner intended to minimize potential risks to us. The result is a program that we believe mitigates inappropriate risk taking and aligns the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. Moreover, we have determined that any risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for all of our employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Vesting of the RSUs subject to the CEO Performance Award is contingent on our stock price performance over a performance period beginning six months after the effective date of our initial public offering and ending on the seventh anniversary thereof. The award is divided into five tranches based on achievement of certain stock price targets, based on an increase above $23 per share. Mr. Szulczewski is also required to remain employed as our Chief Executive Officer through at least the second anniversary of our initial public offering and continue to serve as chief executive officer thereafter on the applicable achievement date of the stock price target, subject to certain exceptions in connection with a change in control transaction, as described in greater detail in the “CEO Performance Award” section of the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 22. The number of shares reflected in the table above as the “threshold” payout assumes that the first stock price performance target is achieved and that Mr. Szulczewski remains employed as our Chief Executive Officer through the achievement date. The number of shares reflected in the table above as the “target” payout assumes that all of the stock price performance targets will be achieved and that Mr. Szulczewski will remain employed as our Chief Executive Officer through the relevant achievement dates. No “maximum” is applicable to the award, as full vesting of the CEO Performance Award will be achieved at the “target” payout in the table above.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

We do not have employment agreements with our named executive officers. Pursuant to the terms of his employment offer letter and his RSU agreements, Mr. Bahri is eligible to receive 100% accelerated vesting of his outstanding RSU awards if we are subject to a sale event while he is providing services to us. Pursuant to the terms of his employment offer letter and his RSU agreements, Mr. Shah is eligible to receive 50% accelerated vesting of any then unvested RSUs if we are subject to a sale event while he is providing services to us and he is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within 12 months following the sale event.

In November 2020, we entered into severance and change in control agreements with each of our named executive officers that became effective upon the completion of our initial public offering. These agreements have a three-year term and, with the exception of Mr. Bahri as it relates to his existing RSU awards, superseded any acceleration provisions in the officers’ offer letters.

Termination Not in Connection with a Change in Control. Pursuant to his severance and change in control agreement, if Mr. Szulczewski’s employment is terminated by us without cause or he resigns for good reason, he is eligible to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to 12 months of his base salary and an additional lump sum cash payment equal to 12 months of his benefit premiums. If the employment of Mr. Bahri or Mr. Shah is terminated by us without cause or such officer resigns for good reason, such officer is eligible to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to six months of his base salary, an additional lump sum cash payment equal to six months of his benefit premiums, and 12 months accelerated vesting of his time-based equity awards. If the employment of one of our other named executive officers is terminated by us without cause, the officer will be eligible to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to six months of his base salary and an additional lump sum cash payment equal to six months of his benefit premiums.

Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. Pursuant to his severance and change in control agreement, if Mr. Szulczewski’s employment is terminated by us without cause or he resigns for good reason, in either case within three months prior to or 12 months after a change in control, he is eligible to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to 18 months of his base salary, an additional lump sum cash payment equal to 18 months of his benefit premiums, and full acceleration of his time-based equity awards. If the employment of one of our other named executive officers is terminated by us without cause or he resigns for good reason, in either case within three months prior to or 12 months after a change in control, the officer will be eligible to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to 12 months of his base salary, an additional lump sum cash payment equal to 12 months of his benefit premiums, and full acceleration of his time-based equity awards.

For purposes of the severance and change in control agreements, the terms “cause,” “change in control,” and “good reason” have the following meanings:

“Cause” means an officer’s willful and intentional unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information or trade secrets which causes material harm, material breach of any agreement with us, material failure to comply with our written policies or rules, conviction of a felony, gross negligence or willful misconduct, continuing failure to perform assigned duties (other than as a result of a disability) or failure to cooperate in good faith with a governmental or internal investigation.

“Good Reason” means a material diminution in the nature or scope of the officer’s responsibilities, authority, powers, functions or duties, a material reduction in the officer’s base salary, or a requirement that the officer relocate more than 50 miles.

“Change in Control” means any person (other than Piotr Szulczewski) acquires ownership of more than 50% of our voting stock, a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, consummation of a merger of the Company with or into another entity if our capital stock represents less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity or its parent, or certain changes in the composition of our Board of Directors.

Mr. Bahri is entitled to receive 100% accelerated vesting of his outstanding RSUs if we are subject to a sale event while he is providing services to us, no termination of employment is required.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Prior to our initial public offering in December 2020, we did not have a policy with respect to compensation payable to our non-employee directors for service as directors; however, we adopted a non-employee director compensation policy in connection with our initial public offering, as further described below. The table below shows the total compensation that we paid to our non-employee directors who received compensation during 2020:

Name	Stock Awards ($)(1)	​Option Awards(2)	Total ($)
Julie Bradley	2,594,419	​—	2,594,419

See Notes 2 and 10 of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the assumptions made by the Company in determining the grant date fair value of its equity awards. As of December 31, 2020, certain of our non-employee directors held outstanding RSUs under which the following number of shares of our common stock are issuable: Ms. Bradley – 111,110; Mr. Emanuel – 75,000; Ms. Reses – 111,110; and Ms. Tilenius – 111,110.

As of December 31, 2020, only one of our non-employee directors, Mr. Lonsdale, held outstanding options to purchase shares of our common stock (for 250,000 shares).

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

Pursuant to the program adopted in connection with our initial public offering in December 2020, each non-employee director is entitled to receive RSUs under our 2020 Plan as follows:

Initial Equity Award.Each non-employee director appointed to our Board will be granted RSUs on the date of his or her appointment to our Board having an aggregate value of $440,000 based on the closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. The RSUs will vest with respect to 1/3rd of the total number of RSUs subject to such award on each annual anniversary of the date of grant, in each case, as long as the non-employee director continues to serve on our Board of Directors through such date; provided, however, that vesting will be pro-rated on a monthly basis for a termination of service prior to an annual vesting date.

Annual Equity Award. Following the conclusion of each regular annual meeting of stockholders commencing in 2021, each non-employee director who is serving on our Board on, and will continue to serve on our Board immediately following, the date of the annual meeting will automatically be granted RSUs having an aggregate value of $270,000 based on the closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. The RSUs will vest in full on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant or the date of the next regular annual meeting of stockholders, so long as the non-employee director continues to serve on our Board through such date; provided, however, that vesting will be pro-rated on a monthly basis for a termination of service prior to such vesting date.

Annual Equity Retainers. In addition, our non-employee directors will receive the following additional annual equity retainers:

Position	Equity Retainer Value
Lead Independent Director	$20,000
Audit Committee Chair	$20,000
Compensation Committee Chair	$15,000
Nominating/Governance Committee Chair	$10,000
Audit Committee Member	$10,000
Compensation Committee Member	$7,500
Nominating/Governance Committee Member	$5,000

The equity retainers described in the table above will be granted following the conclusion of each regular annual meeting of stockholders commencing in 2021 to each non-employee director who is serving on our Board on, and will continue to serve on our Board immediately following, the date of the annual meeting, with the number of RSUs determined based on the closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. Each such award will vest in full on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant or the date of the next regular annual meeting of stockholders, so long as the non-employee director continues to serve on our Board through such date; provided, however, that vesting will be pro-rated on a monthly basis for a termination of service prior to such vesting date. Non-employee

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION (continued)

 

directors who are elected or appointed to our Board other than on the date of a regular annual meeting of our stockholders will be eligible to receive the applicable pro-rated annual equity retainers on the date the non-employee director is elected or appointed to our Board, which will be subject to the same vesting requirements as the annual equity retainers granted to our non-employee directors at the annual meeting of our stockholders.

Non-employee directors will not receive any cash compensation for service on our Board. However, we will continue to reimburse our non-employee directors for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending Board and Committee meetings. Additionally, the equity awards described above will vest in full in the event of a “change in control” (as defined in our 2020 Plan).

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

We have two equity compensation plans under which shares of Common Stock are authorized for issuance to eligible employees, directors, and consultants: (i) the 2010 Stock Plan (“2010 Plan”); and (ii) the 2020 Plan. The following table provides certain information with respect to each of our equity compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2020:

Plan Category	Number of Securities to be Issued Upon Exercise of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights (a)(1)	Weighted-Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights (b)(2)	Number of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans (Excluding Securities Reflected in Column (a)) (c)(1)

Calculated assuming 100% achievement of the CEO Performance Award for which performance targets have not yet been achieved as of December 31, 2020 and including RSUs which vested as of December 31, 2020 upon satisfying both the service and liquidity vesting conditions, but were not settled until February 2021.

In November 2020, our Board of Directors approved the 2020 Plan and in 2010 our stockholders approved the 2010 Plan. The 2020 Plan became effective on November 19, 2020 upon the completion of our initial public offering. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares of our common stock, restricted stock units, and performance cash awards. The number of shares reserved for issuance under our 2020 Plan will be increased automatically on the first business day of each of our fiscal years, commencing in 2022 and ending in 2030, by a number equal to the lesser of: (a) 5% of the shares of common stock outstanding on the last business day of the prior fiscal year; or (b) the number of shares determined by our Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2020, RSUs covering approximately 111,110 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2020 Plan.

The 2010 Plan was terminated following the completion of our initial public offering, and no further awards will be made under that plan. Options and RSUs outstanding under the 2010 Plan will continue to be governed by their existing terms. As of December 31, 2020, options to purchase 74,743,650 shares of common stock, RSUs covering 20,149,876 shares of common stock and CEO Performance Award covering 10,021,500 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2010 Plan. In addition, there were 29,690,737 RSUs which vested upon satisfying both the service and liquidity vesting conditions for the year ended December 31, 2020. The shares remained unreleased as of December 31, 2020 due to the lock up provisions related to our IPO.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS⁽¹⁾

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors consists of the three non-employee directors named below and operates under a written charter adopted by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors annually reviews the Nasdaq listing standards’ definition of independence for audit committee members and has determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets that standard. Our Board of Directors has also determined that Julie Bradley and Stephanie Tilenius each is an audit committee financial expert as described in applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The principal purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist our Board of Directors in its general oversight of our accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of our financial statements. The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting and engaging our independent auditor and approving the audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee’s function is more fully described in its Charter, which our Board of Directors adopted and which the Audit Committee reviews on an annual basis.

Our management is responsible for preparing our financial statements and our financial reporting process. Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Based upon the review and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s 10-K for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our Board of Directors currently consists of eight directors. The Board is unclassified and each of our directors will stand for reelection annually.

On February 22, 2021, our Board of Directors nominated Piotr Szulczewski, Julie Bradley, Ari Emanuel, Joe Lonsdale, Jacqueline Reses, Tanzeen Syed, Stephanie Tilenius, and Hans Tung for election at the Annual Meeting.

However, if you are the beneficial owner of the shares, which means that your shares are held by a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization as your nominee, your shares will not be voted for the election of directors unless you have provided voting instructions to your nominee. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, your shares will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee proposed by our current Board of Directors, if any. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected.

If any substitute nominees are so designated, we will file an amended proxy statement that, as applicable, identifies the substitute nominees, discloses that such nominees have consented to being named in the amended proxy statement and to serve as directors if elected, and includes certain biographical and other information about such nominees required by the applicable rules promulgated by the SEC.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2021

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has selected Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 and has further directed that management submit the selection of independent auditors for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Ernst & Young LLP has audited our financial statements since 2015.

Neither our Bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Board is submitting the selection of Ernst & Young LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, and will have the opportunity to make statements if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not be considered as votes cast for or against this proposal, and will therefore have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Broker non-votes are counted towards a quorum, but are not counted for any purpose in determining whether this matter has been approved.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2021.

PROPOSAL 3

ADVISORY APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020

In accordance with SEC rules, stockholders are being asked to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2020 as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. This is commonly referred to as a “Say on Pay” proposal and gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation as a whole. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather, the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies, and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

As described further in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement, beginning on page 19, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and the related tables and narrative, the primary goals of our compensation programs are to fairly compensate employees, attract and retain highly qualified employees, motivate the performance of our employees, reward the achievement of clearly defined corporate goals, and align our employees’ long-term interests with those of our stockholders. We believe our compensation programs reflect a pay-for-performance philosophy that links potential significant compensatory rewards to achievement of corporate operating goals and increase in stockholder value.

This Say on Pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on our Compensation Committee or Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders, however, and will carefully review and consider the voting results when evaluating our executive compensation programs.

Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote in favor of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of ContextLogic Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the Company’s 2021 Proxy Statement pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s compensation disclosure rules, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and Executive Compensation sections.”

If a quorum is present, the proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers requires a “For” vote from the majority the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not be considered as votes cast for or against the proposal and will therefore have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” ADVISORY APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

38    ContextLogic Inc. Proxy Statement and Notice of 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

PROPOSAL 4—ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF THE ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPANY'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OF ONE, TWO, OR THREE YEARS

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, stockholders are being asked to vote on whether we should conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation (commonly referred to as a “Say On Pay” proposal and which is the subject of Proposal 3 this year) every one, two, or three years. This advisory stockholder vote is commonly known as “say-when-on-pay”.

Section 14A of the Exchange Act requires that we conduct a stockholder advisory vote of this nature at least once every six years. This proposal provides our stockholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote indicating their preference on how often we should include a Say On Pay proposal in our proxy materials for future stockholder meetings. By voting on this proposal, stockholders may indicate their preference for conducting the Say On Pay vote either every year, every two years, or every three years, or, stockholders may abstain from voting.

Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote in favor of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of ContextLogic Inc. approve on a non-binding advisory basis, a Say on Frequency Vote of “1 YEAR.” ”

This vote is advisory, and therefore, not binding on our Compensation Committee. Notwithstanding our Board of Directors’ recommendation and the outcome of the stockholder vote on this Proposal 4, our Board of Directors may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a more or less frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs. Our decision as to how frequently we will conduct “Say On Pay” votes will be disclosed via Form 8-K as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The choice of frequency that receives the highest number of votes will be considered the advisory vote of the stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not count in determining which frequency choice received the largest number of votes, and will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR A FREQUENCY OF EVERY “1 YEAR” FOR THE ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPANY'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
