Board declassification, $100M buyback and governance votes at LendingClub (NYSE: LC)
LendingClub Corporation is soliciting votes for its 2026 Annual Meeting to be held June 2, 2026 (record date: April 9, 2026) via webcast. Management seeks approval of five proposals: election of three Class III directors; an advisory vote on executive compensation; ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP; amendment to phase out the classified board; and removal of supermajority voting requirements.
Proxy materials highlight 2025 operating results: originations grew 33% to $9.6B, total assets increased to $11.6B, the company reports over $100B of lifetime originations, and a reported increase in net income to $135. Compensation and governance initiatives emphasize materially reduced equity dilution, a target utilization rate below 4% by end of 2027, use of cash awards to lower equity usage, and an open-market repurchase program of up to $100M through December 31, 2026.

Insights
Proxy seeks board declassification and removal of supermajority vote.
The company is asking shareholders to approve phasing out its classified board and eliminating supermajority voting requirements, measures previously supported by >99% of voting stockholders but not approved due to the two-thirds threshold of all outstanding shares.
Passage would change director election cadence and amendment thresholds; timing and final effect depend on shareholder votes at the June 2, 2026 meeting.
Management reports large reduction in equity utilization and a $100M buyback program.
2025 results show originations growth and management actions to cut dilution, including bifurcated long-term awards with cash components and open-market repurchases up to $100M through December 31, 2026. The company reports a 2025 adjusted share utilization rate of 0.8%.
Key items to watch in filings: actual repurchase activity under the $100M program and future disclosures on utilization versus the 4% target by 2027.

1) | For each of the NEOs, the amounts reported for 2025 include the portions of Cash Awards that vested and were paid in 2025. For more information, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – 2025 Long-Term Awards – Refresh Cash Awards.” |
2) | The amounts reported in this column do not reflect the amounts actually received by our NEOs. The amounts instead reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs and/or PBRSUs, as applicable, granted during the applicable fiscal year, computed in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 718. Assumptions used in the calculations for RSUs and PBRSUs granted during 2025 are included in “Note 15. Equity – Employee Incentive Plans” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. The amounts shown do not reflect that the awards are vested/earned over a 3-year period and exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. The grant date fair value for RSUs is measured based on the closing fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. For Mr. Sanborn, Mr. LaBenne, Ms. Armstrong and Mr. Cheng, the amounts reported for 2025 include the grant date fair value of PBRSUs granted in March 2025, incorporating the probability of achieving the performance conditions to which such PBRSUs are subject to. Assuming the maximum level of performance is achieved under the applicable performance measures for the PBRSU awards, the value of the PBRSU awards (calculated by multiplying the per unit grant date fair value by the maximum number of units) granted to Mr. Sanborn, Mr. LaBenne, Ms. Armstrong, and Mr. Cheng is $1,933,599, $632,820, $421,894 and $295,328, respectively.
