The risks described in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. While we believe the risks and uncertainties described therein include all material risks currently known by us, it is possible that these may not be the only ones we face. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The Risk Factors section of our Annual Report remains current in all material respects, with the exception below.

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION
Our business operations may be adversely impacted by political events, terrorism, military conflict or acts of war, cyber-attacks, public health issues, natural disasters, severe weather, climate change, infrastructure failure or outages, labor disputes and other business interruptions.
Our business operations are subject to interruption by, among other things, political events, terrorism, military conflict or acts of war, cyber-attacks, public health issues, natural disasters, severe weather, climate change (including longer-term shifts in climate patterns, such as extreme heat, sea level rise and more frequent and prolonged drought), infrastructure failure or outages (including power outages), labor disputes and other events which could: (i) decrease demand for our products and services, (ii) adversely affect the macroeconomy and/or our customers, or (iii) make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver a satisfactory experience to our customers. Any such events could also affect the Company by impacting the stability of our deposit base, impairing the ability of our borrowers to repay their outstanding loans, causing significant property damage or otherwise impair the value of collateral securing our loans, and/or resulting in loss of revenue and/or causing us to incur additional expenses. While we may undertake measures indicated to mitigate the adverse impacts of such events, there are no assurances that any of the measures we take will be sufficient or successful.
Furthermore, in the event of any disruption to our operations or those of the companies with whom we do business, we could experience delays in product development, marketing, operations and customer service efforts, incur significant losses, require substantial recovery time and experience significant expenditures in order to resume or maintain operations, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Similarly, natural disasters have had, and likely will continue to have, unpredictable and/or adverse effects on our customers. With increases to the frequency, breadth and impact of natural disasters, such as fires and hurricanes, the potential for a single or series of natural disaster(s) to have a material adverse impact on our business is also increasing.
Finally, geopolitical conflicts as well as natural disasters, and their impacts, have had, and may continue to have, the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, such as elevating inflation, macroeconomic uncertainty and the possibility of a decline in economic conditions. For example, although we do not have operations or customers in Iran, the 2026 Iran conflict is, among other things, impacting inflation in the United States which could have an adverse effect on our customers and thereby our business.
