Engine Capital LP, together with the other participants named herein (collectively, “Engine”), has filed a definitive proxy statement and accompanying BLUE universal proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to be used to solicit votes for the election of Engine’s slate of director nominees at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Lyft, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

On May 8, 2025, upon the public announcement by the Company of the following: an increase in the Company’s share repurchase authorization to $750 million; a commitment to utilize $500 million of such authorization within the next 12 months, including using $200 million over the next three months; and that the Company intends to enter into one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans to facilitate the repurchase of shares under the authorization, Engine withdrew its slate of nominees for election to the Board of Directors of the Company at the Annual Meeting. Engine will not vote any proxies received from stockholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting.
