Dear Fellow Stockholders, ContextLogic Inc. (“ContextLogic” or the “Company”) has made significant progress towards completing our proposed value maximizing transaction with Qoo10 Pte. Ltd. (“Qoo10”). As previously announced on February 12, 2024, a Qoo10 wholly owned subsidiary (the “Buyer”) will acquire substantially all of the Company’s operating assets and liabilities, principally comprising its Wish ecommerce platform (the “Asset Sale”). Following closing of the Asset Sale, ContextLogic will have limited operating expenses and a balance sheet that will be debt-free and will include net cash proceeds from the Asset Sale, approximately $2.7 billion of Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”) carryforwards and certain retained assets. The ContextLogic Board of Directors (the “Board”) intends to use the proceeds from the transaction to help utilize its NOLs. Taking into account ContextLogic’s current estimates of the impact of purchase price adjustments, ContextLogic estimates that its cash on hand (including the net proceeds from the Asset Sale) would be approximately $150 million to $157 million if the Asset Sale closes on or about April 16, 2024. The Company’s Special Meeting is scheduled for April 12, 2024, and stockholder approval is required to complete the Asset Sale. The Board is unanimous in its view that the proposed sale of the Company’s operating assets and liabilities, while preserving its approximately $2.7 billion of NOLs, represents the best path forward to maximize value for ContextLogic stockholders. As such, the Board encourages you to vote today “FOR” all proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting.

Subject Line: IMPORTANT UPDATE: Proxy Statement and Special Meeting to Approve Qoo10 Transaction

Dear Wish team,

We want to provide a brief update on our progress toward completing our proposed transaction with Qoo10 Pte. Ltd. (“Qoo10”). As previously announced on February 12, 2024, Qoo10 will acquire substantially all of the operating assets and liabilities of ContextLogic Inc., principally comprising its Wish ecommerce platform, for approximately $173 million in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Today we will be filing our definitive proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and on Monday morning will announce that we will be holding a Special Meeting of Stockholders on April 12, 2024 to approve the Asset Sale.

This is an important milestone in our pending transaction with Qoo10. The filing of our definitive proxy statement means that we are now actively encouraging ContextLogic stockholders to vote at the upcoming special meeting of stockholders that has been called to vote on the Asset Sale, among other related proposals (the “Special Meeting”). Stockholders of record at the close of business on March 7, 2024 will soon be able to vote their shares with respect to the proposals being put forward at the Special Meeting.

Stockholder approval is required to complete the Asset Sale. If you are a ContextLogic stockholder, you will soon be receiving information about how to vote at the Special Meeting. Be on the lookout for that information, as your vote is important no matter how many shares you own.

As detailed in the proxy materials, the ContextLogic Board of Directors is unanimous in its view that the proposed sale of the Company’s operating assets and liabilities, while preserving approximately $2.7 billion of Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”) carryforwards and certain other tax attributes, represents the best path forward to maximize value for ContextLogic stockholders. As such, the Board encourages all stockholders to vote in favor of the proposal to approve the Asset Sale at the Special Meeting.

We continue to actively work with Qoo10 on the integration planning process. This includes future employment plans, and you should expect to hear more on that front in the coming weeks. One specific thing to note in the proxy statement is that Qoo10 has offered Vivian, our CFO and COO, a position as Wish’s most senior officer after the close of the transaction. I do not expect to join Qoo10, and our other executives — Mauricio, Jerry, Joanna, Jackie, Matt, Christopher — will be here through the transition but do not expect to be joining Qoo10 for the longer term.

We know you have questions and want to know more about what’s happening next. We’re working with Qoo10 on the integration planning process, including future employment plans. You should expect to hear more on that front in the coming weeks.

The transaction is on track to close in the second quarter of 2024, subject to stockholder approval and other customary closing conditions. Until then, we will continue to operate as usual, and will share news and updates as we move forward. Thank you again for your continued hard work and dedication to Wish.

If you have any questions, please refer to our FAQs, or reach out to your direct managers.

Sincerely,

Joe Yan

Chief Executive Officer
