LendingClub Corporation (Lending Club) is an online marketplace connecting borrowers and investors. LC Advisors, LLC (LCA), is a registered investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Lending Club that acts as the general partner for certain private funds and advisor to separately managed accounts (SMAs) and a fund of which its wholly-owned subsidiary RV MP Fund GP, LLC, is the general partner. RV MP Fund GP, LLC, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of LCA that acts as the general partner for a private fund. Springstone Financial, LLC (Springstone), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lending Club that facilitates education and patient finance loans. LC Trust I (the Trust) is an independent Delaware business trust that acquires loans from Lending Club and holds them for the sole benefit of certain investors that have purchased a trust certificate (Certificate) issued by the Trust and that are related to specific underlying loans for the benefit of the investor.

Historically, the Company's overall business model has not been premised on using its balance sheet and assuming credit risk for loans facilitated by our marketplace. In order to support contractual obligations (Pool B loans and repurchase obligations), regulatory commitments (direct mail), short-term marketplace equilibrium, customer accommodations, or other needs, the Company may use its capital on the platform from time to time on terms that are substantially similar to other investors. Additionally, the Company may use its capital to invest in loans associated with the testing or initial launch of new or alternative loan terms, programs or channels to establish a track record of performance prior to facilitating third-party investments in these loans. In the five business days since the announcement of the internal board review described below, the Company has been actively exploring ways to restore investor confidence in its platform and obtain additional investment capital for the platform.

The Company believes based on its projections and ability to reduce loan volume if needed, that its cash on hand, funds available from its line of credit, and its cash flow from operations are expected to be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the next twelve months.
