In connection with the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Despegar.com, Corp. (the “Company”) scheduled to be held on December 1, 2020, the Company is providing the following information in order to highlight for its shareholders, before a voting decision is made, that, during fiscal year 2020 to date, each member of the Company’s board of directors had a near perfect attendance record and above Glass Lewis’ threshold of 75% attendance. Under its U.S. guidelines, Glass Lewis will generally recommend voting against the governance committee chair when: (i) directors’ records for board and committee meeting attendance are not disclosed; or (ii) when it is indicated that a director attended less than 75% of board and committee meetings but disclosure is sufficiently vague that it is not possible to determine which specific director’s attendance was lacking. As a foreign private issuer, the Company is not required under SEC rules to disclose information regarding director attendance. However, in light of Glass Lewis’ policies and recommendations, the Company is providing the following information.

During fiscal year 2020 to date, the Company’s board of directors held seven meetings, and each director attended over 75% of these meetings. During the same time period, the Audit Committee held five meetings, the Nomination and Compensation Committee held four meetings and the Strategy committee held 15 meetings. Each committee member attended over 75% of the meetings of the committees on which he served. In addition, Nilesh Lakhani currently serves as the chairman of the Company’s board of directors and the Nomination and Compensation Committee.
