LendingClub Corp — Call Transcript 2026
Jun 2, 2026
Morning. I'm Timothy Mayopoulos, chairman of LendingClub's board of directors. I would like to welcome our stockholders to our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. I now call this meeting to order. We have with us today from our company's management, Scott Sanborn, our CEO, Drew LaBenne, our chief financial officer, and Jordan Cheng, our general counsel and corporate secretary. Mr. Cheng will act as secretary for the meeting. I'm joined by my fellow board members, by Ryan Anderson, representing our independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and by Jim Alden from American Election Services, who has been appointed Inspector of Elections by the board of directors. The board and management remain focused on positioning the company to best serve our various stakeholders. Under the leadership of our CEO, Scott Sanborn, in 2025, we navigated a dynamic environment with continued product innovation, market expansion, sustained credit outperformance, and strong financial performance. The company also continues to solicit and be responsive to stockholder feedback. Notably, we have substantially reduced the dilution from our equity compensation program and propose key enhancements to our corporate governance structure. Additionally, I want to thank Hans Morris, who recently stepped down from our board after 13 years of extraordinary service, including 10 years as chairman. Hans was instrumental in guiding the company's transformation into a national bank and building the foundation that makes today's successes possible. We are deeply grateful for his many contributions. Finally, on behalf of our board, we thank you, our stockholders, for your belief in LendingClub's mission and business. We are grateful for your support. With that, I'll turn to Scott Sanborn for a brief summary of the current state of the company. Thank you, Tim. Thank you to everyone for joining us today. LendingClub is a leading digital bank that combines the best of fintech and banking focused in service of the motivated middle. Creditworthy, credit-active consumers who are poorly served by traditional financial institutions. We make it easy for them to access award-winning products that help them keep more of what they earn and earn more on what they save. Our success is fueled by our advanced credit underwriting, a proprietary technology platform that is engineered for innovation, and a marketplace bank model that drives value for members, loan investors, and stockholders alike. The result is affordable credit, meaningful value, and a trusted banking relationship delivered consistently and profitably at scale. Since our founding, we are proud to have helped over 5 million LendingClub members with their financial goals. In 2025, we continued to execute our growth strategy and delivered strong financial performance. We grew full-year originations 33% to nearly $10 billion, more than doubled earnings per share, and achieved a double-digit return on tangible common equity, all while outperforming the competition on credit. We also advanced our longer-term engagement strategy through our LevelUp deposit products, which reward good financial behavior while deepening member relationships. Our marketplace continues to attract top-tier institutional investors. In November 2025, we hosted an investor day where we outlined our strategy, competitive advantages, and pathway for durable growth. Looking ahead, our marketing investments are scaling, our credit performance remains resilient, and our AI-driven capabilities are delivering measurable gains. All of our product lines are growing, and we are expanding our purchase finance business into home improvement financing, a large under-penetrated market where we have strong conviction in our ability to win. We recently announced our upcoming rebrand to Happen Bank as the LendingClub name no longer encompasses what we offer or what we stand for. The Happen Bank brand reflects both our expanded banking capabilities and our commitment to helping members turn intention into action and achieve meaningful financial progress. While we're changing our name, there is no change to our award-winning products and services, our commitment to clearing the way for people going places, or our strategy to deliver long-term stockholder value. With our differentiated model, market-leading data science capabilities, and best-in-class customer experience, we're excited about our future and well-positioned to create value for our stockholders as well as our customers, employees, and communities. We thank you for your continued support. Now let me turn it over to Jordan. Thank you, Scott. I would like to again welcome our stockholders to the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. We are again pleased to offer a virtual format that we believe allows our meeting to be more accessible to our stockholders. In fairness to all stockholders participating in the meeting and in the interest of having an informative, orderly, and constructive meeting, the following procedures will apply. The business of the meeting will follow the order shown on the agenda, which has been posted on the annual meeting website. If you have previously voted by returning a proxy to us or voted by phone or through the Internet, your vote stands, and you don't have to do anything at this time. However, if you wish to revoke your proxy or change your vote, you may do so by voting today through the annual meeting website. To be entitled to vote, you must have been a holder of record of LendingClub's common stock on April 9, 2026. Please note that under the advance notice provisions of our bylaws, proposals cannot be properly brought before this annual meeting unless they were previously submitted in accordance with the required procedures. Since we received no previous proposals from stockholders, no additional proposals may be submitted for consideration at this meeting. As secretary of the meeting, if there are questions regarding the conduct of the meeting as we proceed, it is my responsibility to make any necessary determinations with respect to the procedures to be followed during the meeting. Thank you for your cooperation and for your participation. Let me again remind all the stockholders participating in this meeting that if you have already sent in a proxy or voted by phone or through the internet, there is no need to cast a vote now unless you want to revoke your proxy or change your vote. The proxy holders will vote your shares as indicated on your proxy or as otherwise instructed. I want to remind everyone that today's remarks, including Scott's overview of the business, include forward-looking statements which contain statements regarding the future company performance. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause these results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements are described in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 12, 2026, and our most recently filed Form 10-Q. Any forward-looking statements that we make are based on assumptions as of today, and we undertake no obligation to update these statements as a result of new information or future events. On or about April 21, 2026, the notice of this meeting was mailed to all stockholders of record as of April 9, 2026, the record date for this meeting, and only those stockholders can vote at this meeting. I've been informed by the Inspector of Elections that at this meeting we have represented in person or by proxy shares of common stock representing over a majority of the 115,497,890 eligible votes as of the record date, and therefore a quorum is present and this meeting is authorized to transact business. The polls are now open for voting on all matters to be presented at this annual meeting. The polls will close to voting after we go through the matters to be voted upon. The first item of business is to elect three Class III directors, each to serve until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, or until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.

The board of directors recommends a vote for the proposal to phase in the declassification of the board. The fifth and final item of business is to approve a proposal by the company to amend and restate the company's Eighth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to remove the super majority voting requirements to amend our Certificate of Incorporation or for our stockholders to amend our bylaws.

We will only consider questions submitted in writing through the meeting website. There are no questions about any of the proposals at this time. The polls for voting at this meeting are now closed and no further proxies or ballots will be accepted. I will now read the preliminary voting results. On proposal one, Kathryn Reimann, Scott Sanborn, and Michael Zeisser have received the most votes as Class III directors, and each in excess of a majority of shares voting for directors. Therefore, Kathryn Reimann, Scott Sanborn, and Michael Zeisser have been elected as Class III directors. On proposal two, holders of 95.7% of the votes cast voted to approve on an advisory basis the compensation of LendingClub's named executive officers as disclosed in the 2026 proxy statement.

This vote represented 68.9% of the outstanding shares of the company. This proposal was required to be approved by at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the company. Because a sufficient number of shares voted in favor, the proposal passed. Finally, on proposal five, holders of 99.6% of the votes cast voted to approve the company's proposal to amend the company's Eighth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to remove the super majority voting requirements.
