1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
On February 1, 2021, LendingClub Corporation (LendingClub) completed the acquisition (the Acquisition) of Radius Bancorp, Inc. (Radius), whereby LendingClub became a bank holding company and formed LendingClub Bank, National Association (LC Bank) as its wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company operates the vast majority of its business through LC Bank, as a lender and originator of loans and as a regulated bank in the United States.
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the results and financial position for the periods presented. These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts in the accompanying financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature and actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material. Results reported in interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other interim period.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and these related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (Annual Report) filed on February 11, 2022.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in “Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Annual Report. There have been no changes to these significant accounting policies for the three month period ended March 31, 2022.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the three month period ended March 31, 2022, except as noted below.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The guidance allows for either full or modified retrospective adoption for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2022 under the full retrospective approach. As a result of the adoption, the deemed dividend recorded in the first quarter of 2020 related to the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible Series A Preferred Stock, was reclassified from Accumulated Deficit to Additional Paid-in Capital within Equity, as shown in the following table:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 | Additional Paid-in Capital | Accumulated Deficit | |||||||||
Issuance of preferred stock in exchange for common stock, as originally reported | $ | 194 | $ | (50,204) | |||||||
Adoption of ASU 2020-06 | (50,204) | 50,204 | |||||||||
Issuance of preferred stock in exchange for common stock, as adjusted | $ | (50,010) | $ | — |

LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted)
(Unaudited)
In addition, since the beneficial conversion feature is no longer recorded as a deemed dividend the allocation of net income (loss) attributable to stockholders and the related Basic and Diluted net income (loss) per share (EPS) has been adjusted, as shown in the following table:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 | Common Stock | Preferred Stock | |||||||||
Net income (loss) attributable to stockholders, as originally reported | $ | (95,444) | $ | 47,357 | |||||||
Adoption of ASU 2020-06 | 48,750 | (48,750) | |||||||||
Net loss attributable to stockholders, as adjusted | $ | (46,694) | $ | (1,393) | |||||||
Basic and Diluted EPS, as originally reported | $ | (1.10) | $ | 18.36 | |||||||
Adoption of ASU 2020-06 | 0.56 | (18.90) | |||||||||
Basic and Diluted EPS, as adjusted | $ | (0.54) | $ | (0.54) |
The adoption of this ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position and cash flows in the first quarter of 2020, nor did it change net loss reported in the period.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which, if certain criteria are met, provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to transactions affected by reference rate reform. These transactions include contract modifications, hedging relationships, and sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. The provisions of the new standard may be adopted as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made until December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures. The Company has not elected an adoption date.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for creditors that have adopted the CECL model and amends the guidance on “vintage disclosures” to require disclosure of current period gross write-offs by year of origination. The ASU also updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under Accounting Standards Codification 326 and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU.
2. Marketplace Revenue
Marketplace revenue consists of (i) origination fees, (ii) servicing fees, (iii) gain (loss) on sales of loans and (iv) net fair value adjustments, as described below.
Origination Fees: Origination fees are primarily fees earned related to originating and issuing unsecured personal loans that are held for sale.
Servicing Fees: The Company receives servicing fees to compensate it for servicing loans on behalf of investors, including managing payments and collections from borrowers and payments to those investors. The amount of servicing fee revenue earned is predominantly affected by the servicing rates paid by investors and the outstanding principal balance of loans serviced for investors. Servicing fee revenue related to loans sold also includes the associated change in fair value of servicing assets.

(Unaudited)
Gain (Loss) on Sales of Loans: In connection with loan sales, the Company recognizes a gain or loss on the sale of loans based on the level to which the contractual servicing fee is above or below an estimated market rate of servicing. Additionally, the Company recognizes transaction costs, if any, as a loss on sale of loans.
Net Fair Value Adjustments: The Company records fair value adjustments on loans that are recorded at fair value, including gains or losses from sale prices in excess of or less than the loan principal amount sold.

5. Loans and Leases Held for Investment, Net of Allowance For Loan and Lease Losses
LendingClub records certain loans and leases held for investment (HFI) at amortized cost, whereas loans initially classified as held for sale (HFS) are recorded at fair value.

Accrued interest within that caption related to loans and leases HFI was $17.0 million and $15.6 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Loans and Leases Held for Investment
The Company defines its loans and leases HFI portfolio segments as (i) consumer and (ii) commercial. The following tables present the components of each portfolio segment by class of financing receivable:

(2) As of March 31, 2022, excluding the $185.0 million of PPP loans, the ALLL represented 2.3% of commercial loans and leases HFI and 5.8% of total loans and leases HFI. As of December 31, 2021, excluding $268.3 million of PPP loans, the ALLL represented 2.6% of commercial loans and leases HFI and 5.5% of total loans and leases HFI. PPP loans are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and, therefore, the Company determined no ACL is required on these loans.

Commercial Lending Credit Quality Indicators
The Company evaluates the credit quality of its commercial loan portfolio based on regulatory risk ratings. The Company categorizes loans and leases into risk ratings based on relevant information about the quality and realizable value of collateral, if any, and the ability of borrowers to service their debts, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans and leases individually by classifying the loans and leases based on their associated credit risk and performs this analysis whenever credit is extended, renewed or modified, or when an observable event occurs indicating a potential decline in credit quality, and no less than annually for large balance loans. Risk rating classifications consist of the following:
Pass – Loans and leases that the Company believes will fully repay in accordance with the contractual loan terms.
Special Mention – Loans and leases with a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the Company’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard – Loans and leases that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligator or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans and leases so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment and liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Normal payment from the borrower is in jeopardy, although loss of principal, while still possible, is not imminent.
Doubtful – Loans and leases that have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss – Loans and leases that are considered uncollectible and of little value.

Collateral-Dependent Assets
Certain loans on non-accrual status and certain TDR loans may be considered collateral-dependent loans if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is expected to be substantially through sale or operation of the collateral. Expected credit losses for the Company’s collateral-dependent loans are calculated as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell, if applicable.
Purchased Financial Assets with Credit Deterioration
Acquired loans are recorded at their fair value, which may result in the recognition of a discount or premium. In addition, the purchase price of PCD loans is grossed-up upon acquisition for the initial estimate of ACL. Subsequent changes to the ACLs are recorded as additions to or reversals of credit losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Income Statement).

Unconsolidated VIEs
The Company’s transactions with unconsolidated VIEs include Structured Program transactions. The Company has various forms of involvement with VIEs, including servicing of loans and holding senior or subordinated residual interests in the VIEs.
The following tables present total unconsolidated VIEs with which the Company has significant continuing involvement, but is not the primary beneficiary:

N/A – Not applicable
“Total VIE Assets” represents the remaining principal balance of loans held by unconsolidated VIEs. “Net Assets” continue to decline due to the ongoing paydown of loan balances from prior Structured Program transactions. “Securities Available for Sale” and “Other Assets” are the balances on the Balance Sheet related to its involvement with the unconsolidated VIEs. “Other Assets” primarily includes the Company’s servicing assets and servicing receivables. “Total Exposure” refers to the Company’s maximum exposure to loss from its involvement with unconsolidated VIEs. It represents estimated loss that would be incurred under severe, hypothetical circumstances, for which the Company believes the possibility is extremely remote, such as where the value of interests and any associated collateral declines to zero. Accordingly, this required disclosure is not an indication of expected losses.

Cash proceeds for interest received on senior securities and subordinated securities | $ | 828 | $ | 1,867 | $ | 608 | $ | 1,258 |
The Company and other investors in the subordinated interests issued by trusts and Certificate Program trusts have rights to cash flows only after the investors holding the senior securities issued by the trusts have first received their contractual cash flows. The investors and the trusts have no direct recourse to the Company’s assets, and holders of the securities issued by the trusts can look only to the assets of the securitization trusts that issued their securities for payment. The beneficial interests held by the Company are subject principally to the credit and prepayment risk stemming from the underlying unsecured personal loans.
Off-Balance Sheet Loans
Off-balance sheet loans pursuant to unconsolidated VIE’s primarily relate to Structured Program transactions for which the Company has some form of continuing involvement, including as servicer.
As of March 31, 2022, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the off-balance sheet loans related to Structured Program transactions was $1.0 billion, of which $25.5 million was attributable to off-balance sheet loans that were 31 days or more past due. As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the off-balance sheet loans related to Structured Program transactions was $1.3 billion, of which $35.0 million was attributable to off-balance sheet loans that were 31 days or more past due. For such loans, the Company would only experience a loss if it was required to repurchase a loan due to a breach in representations and warranties associated with its loan sale or servicing contracts.

Financial instruments are categorized in the valuation hierarchy based on the significance of observable or unobservable factors in the overall fair value measurement. For the financial instruments listed in the tables above that do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs to measure the fair value of these assets and liabilities. These fair value estimates may also include observable, actively quoted components derived from external sources. As a result, changes in fair value for assets and liabilities within the Level 2 or Level 3 categories may include changes in fair value that were attributable to observable and unobservable inputs, respectively. The Company primarily uses a discounted cash flow (DCF) model to estimate the fair value of Level 3 instruments based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. This model uses inputs that are inherently judgmental and reflect the Company’s best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. The Company did not transfer any assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 during the first quarters of 2022 or 2021.

Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value
As of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the majority of loans HFS were sold shortly after origination and at committed prices. Therefore, the Company is generally not exposed to fair value fluctuations as a result of adverse changes in key assumptions.

Retail and Certificate Loans and Related Notes, Certificates and Secured Borrowings
The Company does not assume principal or interest rate risk on loans that were funded by its member payment- dependent self-directed retail program (Retail Program) because loan balances, interest rates and maturities are matched and offset by an equal balance of notes with the exact same interest rates and maturities. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the DCF methodology used to estimate the retail note, certificate and secured borrowings’ fair values used the same projected net cash flows as their related loans. Therefore, the fair value adjustments for retail loans held for investment were largely offset by the corresponding fair value adjustments due to the payment dependent design of the retail notes, certificates and secured borrowings.

Significant Recurring Level 3 Fair Value Input Sensitivity
The Company’s selection of the most representative market servicing rates for servicing assets is inherently judgmental. The Company reviews third-party servicing rates for its loans, loans in similar credit sectors, and market servicing benchmarking analyses provided by third-party valuation firms, when available. The table below shows the impact on the estimated fair value of servicing assets, calculated using different market servicing rate assumptions:

12. Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt
Short-term Borrowings:
Repurchase Agreements
The Company entered into repurchase agreements pursuant to which the Company sold securities (subject to an obligation to repurchase such securities at a specified future date and price) in exchange for cash. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $13.2 million and $27.8 million in aggregate debt outstanding under its repurchase agreements, respectively, which is amortized over time through regular principal and interest payments collected from the pledged securities. At March 31, 2022, a majority of the Company’s repurchase agreements have contractual repurchase dates ranging from September 2022 to March 2028. These contractual repurchase dates correspond to either a set repurchase schedule or to the maturity dates of the underlying securities, which have a remaining weighted-average estimated life of less than one year. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the repurchase agreements bore interest rates ranging from 3.2% to 6.91% and 3.12% to 6.72%, respectively, which are either fixed or based on a benchmark of the weighted-average interest rate of the securities sold plus a spread. Underlying securities retained and pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements were $39.3 million and $50.5 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Long-term Debt:
Advances from PPPLF
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, outstanding PPPLF borrowings were $193.4 million and $271.9 million, respectively, and are collateralized by SBA PPP loans originated by the Company. The maturity date of the PPPLF borrowings matches the maturity date of the SBA PPP loans. When loans are forgiven by the SBA, the corresponding PPPLF advance is paid by the Company. The interest rate on the PPPLF borrowings is fixed at 0.35%.
Retail Notes, Certificates, and Secured Borrowings
The Company issued member payment-dependent notes, or retail notes, and certificates as a means to allow investors to invest in the corresponding loans. Investors were able to purchase these retail notes and certificates, where the cash flows to investors were dependent upon principal and interest payments made by borrowers of the underlying unsecured personal loans. As of December 31, 2020, LendingClub ceased offering and selling retail notes and certificates. The total balance of outstanding retail notes and certificates will continue to decline as underlying borrower payments are made. The Company does not assume principal or interest rate risk on loans that were funded by retail notes and certificates because loan balances, interest rates and maturities were matched and offset by an equal balance of notes and certificates with the exact same interest rates and maturities.
The following table provides the balances of retail notes, certificates and secured borrowings at fair value as of the periods presented:
March 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | ||||||||||
Retail notes | $ | 162,171 | $ | 219,435 | |||||||

Payable on Structured Program Borrowings
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the certificate participations and securities of certain consolidated VIEs held by third-party investors of $20.3 million and $65.5 million, respectively, are included in “Payable on Structured Program borrowings” on the Balance Sheet and were secured by “Other loans held for investment at fair value” and “Loans held for sale” of $15.0 million and $62.7 million and restricted cash of $7.3 million and $11.2 million, respectively.
Other Long-term Debt
The Company has subordinated notes with an outstanding amount of $15.3 million as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The subordinated notes are at a 6.5% fixed to floating rate and are due June 30, 2027. Fixed interest payments are due semiannually in arrears on June 30 and December 30. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the rate resets quarterly at a rate equal to 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 4.64%. The subordinated notes are junior in right to the repayment in full of all existing claims of creditors and depositors of the Company. The subordinated notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued unpaid interest after June 2022 at the option of the Company.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units
PBRSUs are restricted stock unit awards that are earned and eligible for vesting (if applicable) based upon the achievement of certain pre-established performance metrics over a specific performance period. The Company’s PBRSU awards have a separate market-based component and/or a performance-based component. Certain of the Company’s PBRSU awards have additional time-based vesting for any earned shares. With respect to PBRSU awards with market-based metrics, the compensation expense of the award is fixed at the time of grant (incorporating the probability of achieving the market-based metrics) and expensed over the performance and vesting period. With respect to PBRSU awards with performance-based metrics, the compensation expense of the award is set at the time of grant (assuming a target level of achievement), adjusted for actual performance during the performance period and expensed over the performance and vesting period.
The following table summarizes the activities for the Company’s PBRSUs:
Number of Units | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value | ||||||||||
Unvested at December 31, 2021 | 1,771,869 | $ | 9.72 | ||||||||

As of March 31, 2022, there was $11.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PBRSUs, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1.6 years.
15. Income Taxes
For the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $5.0 million primarily related to income tax expense for state jurisdictions that limit net operating loss utilization. For the first quarter 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2.8 million primarily related to changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance resulting from a deferred tax liability assumed with the Acquisition.
The Company continues to recognize a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. This determination was based on the assessment of the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets.

17. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Lease Commitments
For discussion regarding the Company’s operating lease commitments, see “Note 16. Leases.”
Loan Repurchase Obligations
The Company is generally required to repurchase loans or interests therein in the event of identity theft or certain other types of fraud on the part of the borrower or education and patient service providers. The Company may also repurchase loans or interests therein in connection with certain customer accommodations. In connection with certain loan sales, the Company agreed to repurchase loans if representations and warranties made with respect to such loans were breached under certain circumstances. The Company believes such provisions are customary and consistent with institutional loan and securitization market standards.
Unfunded Loan Commitments
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the contractual amount of unfunded loan commitments was $109.5 million and $110.8 million, respectively. See “Note 5. Loans and Leases Held for Investment, Net of Allowance For Loan and Lease Losses” for additional detail related to the reserve for unfunded lending commitments.
Legal
The Company is subject to various claims brought in a litigation or regulatory context. These matters include lawsuits, including but not limited to, putative class action lawsuits and routine litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company, and its business practices and compliance with licensing and other regulatory requirements, is subject to periodic exams, investigations, inquiries or requests, enforcement actions and other proceedings from federal and state regulatory agencies, including from the federal banking regulators that directly regulate the Company and/or LC Bank. The majority of these claims and proceedings relate to or arise from alleged state or federal law and regulatory violations, or are alleged commercial disputes or consumer complaints. The Company accrues for costs related to contingencies when a loss from such claims is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In determining whether a loss from a claim is probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company reviews and evaluates its litigation and regulatory matters on at least a quarterly basis in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments. If the Company determines an unfavorable outcome is not probable or the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company does not accrue for a potential litigation loss. In those situations, the Company discloses an estimate or range of the reasonably possible losses, if such estimates can be made. Except as otherwise specifically noted below, at this time, the Company does not believe that it is possible to estimate the reasonably possible losses or a range of reasonably possible losses related to the matters described below.

Regulatory Examinations and Actions Relating to the Company’s Business Practices and Licensing
The Company is and has been subject to periodic inquiries and enforcement actions brought by federal and state regulatory agencies relating to the Company’s business practices, the required licenses to operate its business, and its manner of operating in accordance with the requirements of its licenses and the regulatory framework applicable to its business.
The Company is routinely subject to examination for compliance with applicable laws and regulations in the states in which it is licensed. The Company is subject to examination by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) and other regulators. The Company periodically has discussions with various regulatory agencies regarding its business model and has engaged in similar discussions with the NYDFS. During the course of such discussions with the NYDFS, which remain ongoing, the Company decided to voluntarily comply with certain rules and regulations of the NYDFS while it was not a bank holding company operating a national bank.
In the past, the Company has successfully resolved such matters in a manner that was not material to its results of financial operations in any period and that did not materially limit the Company’s ability to conduct its business. However, no assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of these matters or other similar matters if or as they arise.
Putative Class Actions
In February 2020, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Erceg v. LendingClub Corporation, No. 4:20-cv-01153). The lawsuit alleged violations of California and Massachusetts law based on allegations that the Company recorded a call with plaintiff without notifying him that it would be recorded. Plaintiff sought to represent a purported class of similarly situated individuals who had phone calls recorded by the Company without their knowledge and consent. The Company filed a motion to dismiss certain of plaintiff’s claims, strike nationwide class allegations, and, alternatively, to stay the litigation. Rather than oppose that motion, plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The Company again filed a motion to stay, or alternatively to dismiss certain of the claims in the amended complaint and to strike nationwide class allegations. That motion was heard by the Court on July 9, 2020. On July 28, 2020, the Court entered an order granting the Company’s motion to stay plaintiff’s California claims pending a decision by the California Supreme Court in a case involving the California Invasion of Privacy Act (Smith v. LoanMe, Inc.), dismissing with prejudice plaintiff’s claim under Massachusetts law, and denying the Company’s motion to strike plaintiff’s nationwide class allegations. In April 2021, the California Supreme Court issued a decision in the LoanMe case in a manner that permitted plaintiff’s claims in the Company’s case to continue. The Company then filed its answer to plaintiff’s complaint and discovery began. The parties have since reached a settlement, the terms of which are not material to the Company. This matter is now concluded.
In February 2021, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Bradford v. Lending Club Corporation, No. 4:21-cv-00588). The lawsuit asserted a cause of action under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) based on allegations that the Company obtained plaintiff’s credit report without his consent or authorization and without a permissible purpose under the FCRA. Plaintiff sought to represent a class of allegedly similarly situated persons in the case and sought monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief, among other relief. Plaintiff amended the complaint to assert additional allegations regarding the Company’s purported requests for plaintiff’s credit report from another credit reporting agency. The Company has since filed its answer to plaintiff’s complaint and discovery began. The Court scheduled this matter for trial in September 2022. The parties have since reached a settlement, the terms of which are not material to the Company. This matter is now concluded.

Certain Financial Considerations Relating to Litigation and Investigations
The Company had $2.5 million in accrued contingent liabilities at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to, and may continue to be subject to, legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. No assurances can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of any of these matters.
18. Regulatory Requirements
LendingClub and LC Bank are subject to comprehensive supervision, examination and enforcement, and regulation by the FRB and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), including generally similar capital adequacy requirements adopted by the FRB and the OCC, respectively. These requirements establish required minimum ratios for Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and a Tier 1 leverage ratio; set risk-weighting for assets and certain other items for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios; and define what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting the capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company.
The minimum capital requirements under the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision standardized approach for U.S. banking organizations (U.S. Basel III) capital framework are: a CET1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. Additionally, a Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) of 2.5% must be maintained above the minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments. In addition to these guidelines, the regulators assess any particular institution’s capital adequacy based on numerous factors and may require a particular banking organization to maintain capital at levels higher than the generally applicable minimums prescribed under the U.S. Basel III capital framework. In this regard, and unless otherwise directed by the FRB and the OCC, we have made commitments for the Company and LC Bank (until February 2024) to maintain a CET1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio above 11.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio above 13.0%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.0%.

(1) Consists of common stockholders’ equity as defined under U.S. GAAP and certain adjustments made in accordance with regulatory capital guidelines, including the addition of the CECL transitional benefit and deductions for goodwill and other intangible assets.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FRB, OCC, and FDIC adopted a final rule related to the regulatory capital treatment of the allowance for credit losses under CECL. As permitted by the rule, the Company elected to delay the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, resulting in a CET1 capital benefit of $35.5 million at December 31, 2021. This benefit is phased out over a three-year transition period that commenced on January 1, 2022 at a rate of 25% each year through January 1, 2025. Accordingly, the capital benefit included in CET1 capital was reduced to $26.7 million at March 31, 2022.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides for a system of “prompt corrective action” (PCA). The PCA regime provides for capitalization categories ranging from “well-capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.” An institution’s PCA category is determined primarily by its regulatory capital ratios. The PCA requires remedial actions and imposes limitations that become increasingly stringent as its PCA capitalization category declines, including the ability to accept and/or rollover brokered deposits. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s and LC Bank’s regulatory capital ratios exceeded the thresholds required to be regarded as well-capitalized institutions and met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. There have been no events or conditions since March 31, 2022 that management believes would change the Company’s categorization.
Federal laws and regulations limit the dividends that a national bank may pay. Dividends that may be paid by a national bank without the express approval of the OCC are limited to that bank’s retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years plus retained net profits up to the date of any dividend declaration in the current calendar year. Retained net profits, as defined by the OCC, consist of net income less dividends declared during the period. Additionally, under the OCC Operating Agreement, LC Bank is required to obtain a written determination of non-objection from the OCC before declaring any dividend. No dividends were declared by LC Bank during the first quarters of 2022 and 2021.
Federal law restricts the amount and the terms of both credit and non-credit transactions between a bank and its nonbank affiliates. These covered transactions may not exceed 10% of the bank’s capital and surplus (which for this purpose represents tier 1 and tier 2 capital, as calculated under the risk-based capital rules, plus the balance of the ACL excluded from tier 2 capital) with any single nonbank affiliate and 20% of the bank’s capital and surplus with all its nonbank affiliates. Covered transactions that are extensions of credit may require collateral to be pledged to provide added security to the bank.

20. Segment Reporting
The Company defines operating segments to be components of the Company for which discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allocate resources and evaluate financial performance. This information is reviewed according to the legal organizational structure of the Company’s operations with products and services presented separately for the parent bank holding company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LC Bank. Taxes are recorded on a separate entity basis whereby each operating segment determines income tax expense or benefit as if it filed a separate tax return. Differences between separate entity and consolidated tax returns are eliminated upon consolidation.
LendingClub Bank
The LC Bank operating segment represents the national bank legal entity and reflects post-Acquisition operating activities. This segment provides a full complement of financial products and solutions, including loans, leases and deposits. It originates loans to individuals and businesses, retains loans for investment, sells loans to investors and manages relationships with deposit holders.
All of the Company’s revenue is generated in the United States. No individual borrower or investor accounted for 10% or more of consolidated net revenue for any of the periods presented.
LendingClub Corporation (Parent Only)
The LendingClub Corporation (Parent only) operating segment represents the holding company legal entity and predominately reflects the operations of the Company prior to the Acquisition. This activity includes, but is not limited to, servicing fee revenue for loans serviced prior to the Acquisition, and interest income and interest expense related to the Retail Program and Structured Program transactions.

Overview
LendingClub is America’s leading digital marketplace bank. The Company was founded in 2006 and brought a traditional credit product – the installment loan – into the digital age by leveraging technology, data science, and a unique marketplace model. In doing so, we became one of the largest providers of unsecured personal loans in the United States. In February 2021, LendingClub completed the acquisition (the Acquisition) of an award-winning digital bank, Radius, becoming a bank holding company and forming LC Bank as its wholly-owned subsidiary. We operate the vast majority of our business through LC Bank, as a lender and originator of loans and as a regulated bank in the United States.
Executive Summary
•Loan originations: Total loan originations for the first quarter of 2022 were $3.2 billion, improving 117% year-over-year and 5% sequentially. The increase was primarily driven by the growth in unsecured personal loan origination volume.
•Total net revenue: Total net revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $289.5 million, improving 174% year-over-year and 10% sequentially, outpacing origination growth of 117% and 5%, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the growth in marketplace revenue and increased net interest income.
◦Marketplace revenue: Marketplace revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $180.0 million, improving 120% year-over-year and 6% sequentially. The increase was primarily driven by a higher volume of marketplace loans sold.
◦Net interest income: Net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $99.7 million, improving 439% year-over-year and 20% sequentially. The increase was primarily due to an increase in unsecured personal loans retained in current and prior periods as held for investment (HFI).
•Provision for credit losses: Provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2022 was $52.5 million, increasing 144% year-over-year and 16% sequentially. The increase was primarily due to an increase in unsecured personal loans retained as HFI.
•Total non-interest expense: Total non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $191.2 million, increasing 42% year-over-year and 2% sequentially. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in variable marketing expenses based on higher origination volume.
•Consolidated net income: Consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $40.8 million, improving by $87.9 million year-over-year and 40% sequentially.
•Loans and leases held for investment: Loans and leases held for investment, net of allowance for loan and lease losses, were $3.2 billion at March 31, 2022, growing 56% year-over-year and 17% sequentially.
•Deposits: Total deposits at March 31, 2022 were $4.0 billion, growing 68% year-over-year and 27% sequentially, supporting growth in loans HFI.
The above summary should be read in conjunction with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its entirety. For additional discussion related to our operating segments, see “Segment Information.”

Origination Fees
Origination fees recorded as a component of marketplace revenue are primarily fees earned related to originating and issuing unsecured personal loans that are held for sale. In addition, origination fees include transaction fees that were paid to us by issuing bank partners or education and patient service providers for the work performed in facilitating the origination of loans by the issuing banks. Following the Acquisition, LC Bank became the originator and lender for all unsecured personal and auto refinance loans and the majority of education and patient finance loans.
The following table presents loan origination volume during each of the periods set forth below:

Origination fees were $122.1 million and $55.6 million for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of 120%. The increase was due to higher origination volume of marketplace loans. Loan origination volume of marketplace loans increased to $2.4 billion for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $1.1 billion for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 107%.
Origination fees were $122.1 million and $118.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively, an increase of 3%.

Servicing Fees
We receive servicing fees to compensate us for servicing loans on behalf of investors, including managing payments from borrowers, collections and payments to those investors. Servicing fee revenue related to loans sold also includes the change in fair value of servicing assets associated with the loans.
The table below illustrates AUM serviced on our platform by the method in which the loans were financed. Loans sold and subsequently serviced on behalf of the investor represent a key driver of our servicing fee revenue.

In addition to the loans serviced on our marketplace platform, we earned servicing fee revenue on $197.4 million, $214.0 million and $259.6 million in outstanding principal balance of commercial loans sold as of March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.
Servicing fees were $18.5 million and $23.2 million for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of 20%. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to changes in the fair value of our servicing asset and higher expected prepayment rates, partially offset by a higher principal balance of loans serviced.
Servicing fees were $18.5 million and $20.9 million for the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively, a decrease of 12%. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to changes in the fair value of our servicing asset and higher expected prepayment rates, partially offset by a higher principal balance of loans serviced.
Gain on Sales of Loans
In connection with loan sales, we recognize a gain or loss on the sale of loans based on the level to which the contractual servicing fee is above or below an estimated market rate of servicing. Additionally, we recognize transaction costs, if any, as a loss on sale of loans.
Gain on sales of loans was $24.1 million and $8.3 million for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of 190%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the volume of marketplace loans sold.
Gain on sales of loans was $24.1 million and $20.6 million for the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively, an increase of 17%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the volume of marketplace loans sold.

Net Fair Value Adjustments
We record fair value adjustments on loans that are recorded at fair value, including gains or losses from sale prices in excess of or less than the loan principal amount sold.
Net fair value adjustments were $15.2 million and $(5.3) million for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $20.5 million. The increase was primarily due to higher loan sale prices and an increase in the volume of marketplace loans sold.
Net fair value adjustments were $15.2 million and $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively, an increase of $4.5 million. The increase was primarily due to higher loan sale prices and an increase in the volume of marketplace loans sold.
Other Non-Interest Income
Other non-interest income primarily consists of referral revenue that relates to fees earned from third-party companies when customers referred by us consider or purchase products or services from such third-party companies.

Provision for Credit Losses
The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) for lifetime expected losses under CECL on HFI loans and leases is initially recognized as “Provision for credit losses” at the time of origination. The ALLL is estimated using a discounted cash flow (DCF) approach, where effective interest rates are used to calculate the net present value of expected cash flows. The net present value from the DCF approach is then compared to the amortized cost basis of the loans and leases to derive expected credit losses. The provision for credit losses includes the credit loss expense for HFI loans and leases, available for sale (AFS) securities and unfunded lending commitments. The table below illustrates the composition of the provision for credit losses for each period presented:

Marketing expense was $55.1 million and $19.5 million for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of 182%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in variable marketing expenses based on higher origination volume, partially offset by the deferral of applicable marketing expenses for HFI loans.
Marketing expense was $55.1 million and $50.7 million for the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively, an increase of 9%.

Equipment and software expense was $11.0 million and $12.0 million for the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively, a decrease of 8%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in equipment purchases and lower cloud hosting fees.
Occupancy expense was $6.0 million, $4.7 million, and $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, fourth quarter of 2021, and first quarter of 2021, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $11.0 million and $11.8 million for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of 6%. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in fully depreciated assets, partially offset by an increase in the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the Acquisition.
Depreciation and amortization expense remained relatively flat at $11.0 million and $10.5 million for the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively.
Professional services were $12.4 million and $11.6 million for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of 7%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in consulting fees.
Professional services remained relatively flat at $12.4 million and $12.7 million for the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively.
Income Taxes
For the first quarter of 2022, we recorded an income tax expense of $5.0 million primarily related to income tax expense for state jurisdictions that limit net operating loss utilization. For the first quarter 2021, we recorded an income tax benefit of $2.8 million primarily related to changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance resulting from a deferred tax liability assumed with the Acquisition.
We continue to recognize a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. This determination was based on the assessment of the available positive and negative evidence. Our improved and accelerated profitability are examples of positive evidence that there is a reasonable possibility that a portion of our valuation allowance is no longer needed in 2022. A release of the valuation allowance will result in a material tax benefit recognized in the quarter of release.
Income taxes are recorded on a separate entity basis whereby each operating segment determines income tax expense or benefit as if it filed a separate tax return. Differences between separate entity and consolidated tax returns are eliminated upon consolidation.
Segment Information
The Company defines operating segments to be components of the Company for which discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allocate resources and evaluate financial performance. This information is reviewed according to the legal organizational structure of the Company’s operations with products and services presented separately for the parent bank holding company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LC Bank.
LendingClub Bank
The LC Bank operating segment represents the national bank legal entity and reflects post-Acquisition operating activities. This segment provides a full complement of financial products and solutions, including loans, leases and deposits. It originates loans to individuals and businesses, retains loans for investment, sells loans to investors and manages relationships with deposit holders.
LendingClub Corporation (Parent Only)
The LendingClub Corporation (Parent only) operating segment represents the holding company legal entity and predominately reflects the operations of the Company prior to the Acquisition. This activity includes, but is not

The Company integrated the Acquisition into its reportable segments in the first quarter of 2021. As the Company’s reportable segments are based on legal organizational structure and LC Bank was formed upon the Acquisition, an analysis of the Company’s results of operations and material trends for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 is provided on a consolidated basis in “Results of Operations.”
Supervision and Regulatory Environment
We are regularly subject to claims, individual and class action lawsuits, and lawsuits alleging regulatory violations. Further, we are subject to periodic exams, investigations, inquiries or requests, enforcement actions and other proceedings from federal and state regulatory agencies, including the federal banking regulators that directly regulate the Company and/or LC Bank. The number and significance of these claims, lawsuits, exams, investigations, inquiries, requests and proceedings have been increasing in part because our products and services have been increasing in scope and complexity and in part because we have become a bank holding company operating a national bank. Although historically the Company has generally resolved these matters in a manner that was not materially adverse to its financial results or business operations, no assurance can be given as to the timing, outcome or consequences of any of these matters in the future.

Regulatory Actions Taken in Relation to COVID-19
Regulators and government officials at the federal government level and in states across the country have issued orders, passed laws or otherwise issued guidance in connection with COVID-19. Some of these orders and laws have placed restrictions on debt collection activity, all or certain types of communications with delinquent borrowers or others, required that borrowers be allowed to defer payments on outstanding debt, governed credit reporting and the use of credit reporting, and placed certain restrictions and requirements on operations in the workplace. We have taken steps to monitor regulatory developments relating to COVID-19 and to comply with orders and laws applicable to our business. Given the ongoing nature of the pandemic, it is possible that additional orders, laws, or regulatory guidance may still be issued. We are not able to predict the extent of the impact on our business from any regulatory activity relating to or resulting from COVID-19.
Federal Banking Regulator Supervision
Since the Acquisition, we are subject to supervision, regulation, examination and enforcement by multiple federal banking regulatory bodies. Specifically, as a bank holding company, the Company is subject to ongoing and comprehensive supervision, regulation, examination and enforcement by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). Further, as a national bank, LC Bank is subject to ongoing and comprehensive supervision, regulation, examination and enforcement by the OCC. Accordingly, we have been and continue to invest in regulatory compliance and be subject to certain parameters, obligations and/or limitations set forth by the banking regulations and regulators with respect to the operation of our business.
Consequences
If we are found to not have complied with applicable laws, regulations or requirements, we could: (i) lose one or more of our licenses or authorizations, (ii) become subject to a consent order or administrative enforcement action, (iii) face lawsuits (including class action lawsuits), sanctions, penalties, or other monetary losses due to judgments, orders, or settlements, (iv) be in breach of certain contracts, which may void or cancel such contracts, (v) decide or be compelled to modify or suspend certain of our business practices, (vi) be unable to execute on certain Company initiatives, or (vii) be required to obtain a license in such jurisdiction, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to operate and/or evolve our lending marketplace and other products and/or services; any of which may harm our business or financial results.
See “Part I – Item 1. Business – Regulation and Supervision,” “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Regulation, Supervision and Compliance,” and “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Operating Our Business” in our Annual Report for further discussion regarding our supervision and regulatory environment.
Capital Management
The prudent management of capital is fundamental to the successful achievement of our business initiatives. We actively manage capital through a process that continuously assesses and monitors the Company’s overall capital adequacy. Our objective is to maintain capital at an amount commensurate with our risk profile and risk tolerance objectives, and to meet both regulatory and market expectations.
The formation of LC Bank as a nationally chartered association and the organization of the Company as a bank holding company subjects us to various capital adequacy guidelines issued by the OCC and the FRB, including the requirement to maintain regulatory capital ratios in accordance with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision standardized approach for U.S. banking organizations (U.S. Basel III). As a U.S. Basel III standardized approach institution, we selected the one-time election to opt-out of the requirements to include all the components of accumulated other comprehensive income included in common stockholder’s equity. The minimum capital
63
LENDINGCLUB CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)
requirements under the U.S. Basel III capital framework are: a CET1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. Additionally, a Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) of 2.5% must be maintained above the minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments. In addition to these guidelines, the banking regulators may require a banking organization to maintain capital at levels higher than the minimum ratios prescribed under the U.S. Basel III capital framework. In this regard, and unless otherwise directed by the FRB and the OCC, we have made commitments for the Company and LC Bank (until February 2024) to maintain a CET1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio above 11.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio above 13.0%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.0%. See “Part I – Item 1. Business – Regulation and Supervision – Regulatory Capital Requirements and Prompt Corrective Action” in our Annual Report and “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 18.

(Tabular Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data and Ratios, or as Noted)
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FRB, OCC, and FDIC adopted a final rule related to the regulatory capital treatment of the allowance for credit losses under CECL. As permitted by the rule, the Company elected to delay the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, resulting in a CET1 capital benefit of $35.5 million at December 31, 2021. This benefit is phased out over a three-year transition period that commenced on January 1, 2022 at a rate of 25% each year through January 1, 2025. Accordingly, the capital benefit included in CET1 capital was reduced to $26.7 million at March 31, 2022.
Liquidity
We manage liquidity to meet our cash flow and collateral obligations in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. We must maintain operating liquidity to meet our expected daily and forecasted cash flow requirements, as well as contingent liquidity to meet unexpected funding requirements.
As our primary business at LC Bank involves taking deposits and making loans, a key role of liquidity management is to ensure that customers have timely access to funds from deposits and for loans. Liquidity management also involves maintaining sufficient liquidity to repay wholesale borrowings, pay operating expenses and support extraordinary funding requirements when necessary.
LendingClub Bank Liquidity
The primary sources of LC Bank short-term liquidity include cash, unencumbered AFS debt securities, and unused borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). Additionally, customer deposits provide LC Bank with a significant source of relatively low-cost funds. The primary uses of LC Bank liquidity include the funding of loans and securities purchases; withdrawals, maturities and the payment of interest on deposits; compensation and benefits expense; taxes; capital expenditures, including internally developed software, leasehold improvements and computer equipment; and costs associated with the continued development and support of our online lending marketplace platform.
Net capital expenditures were $21.6 million, or 7.7% of total net revenue and $4.6 million or 6.3% of total net revenue, for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2022 are expected to be approximately $65 million, primarily related to costs associated with the continued development and support of our online lending marketplace platform, including regulatory compliance costs.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents at LC Bank were $1.0 billion and $659.9 million, respectively, reflecting the continued growth in LC Bank deposits during the first quarter of 2022. Outstanding PPPLF borrowings were $193.4 million and $271.9 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are collateralized by PPP loans originated by the Company. In addition, LC Bank has available Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines secured borrowing capacity totaling $299.6 million and $173.4 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, LC Bank also has secured borrowing capacity available under the FRB Discount Window totaling $105.0 million and $75.2 million, respectively.
LendingClub Holding Company Liquidity
The primary source of liquidity at the holding company is $119.7 million and $88.3 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Additionally, the holding company has the ability to access the capital markets through additional registrations and public equity offerings.
Uses of cash at the holding company include the routine cash flow requirements as a bank holding company, such as interest and expenses (including those associated with our office leases), the needs of LC Bank for additional

equity and, as required, its need for debt financing and support for extraordinary funding requirements when necessary.

The Company’s liquidity could be adversely impacted by deteriorating financial and market conditions, the inability or unwillingness of a creditor to provide funding, an idiosyncratic event (e.g., a major loss, causing a perceived or actual deterioration in its financial condition), an adverse systemic event (e.g., default or bankruptcy of a significant capital markets participant), or others.
We believe, based on our projections, that our cash on hand, AFS securities, available funds, and cash flow from operations is sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months, as well as beyond the next twelve months. See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” for additional detail regarding our cash flows.
Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices, and/or other relevant market rates or prices. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises from financial instruments including loans, securities and borrowings, all entered into for purposes other than trading.
Our net interest income is affected by changes in the level of interest rates, the relationship between rates, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on asset prepayments, and the level and composition of deposits and liabilities.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
LendingClub Bank
Loans HFI at LC Bank are funded primarily through our deposit base, and the majority of loans on LC Bank’s balance sheet, at any point in time, are retained in the HFI portfolio and accounted for at amortized cost. As a result, the primary component of interest rate risk on our financial instruments at LC Bank arises from the impact of fluctuations in loan and deposit rates on our net interest income. Therefore, we measure this sensitivity by assessing the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on our net interest income results.
The following table presents the change in projected net interest income for the next twelve months due to a hypothetical instantaneous parallel change in interest rates relative to current rates as of March 31, 2022:
200 basis point increase | (0.4) | % | |||
100 basis point decrease | (0.3) | % |
The impact of these hypothetical interest rate changes are not significant to LC Bank’s net interest income. Non-maturity deposit rates at March 31, 2022 are below the 100 basis point hypothetical interest rate reduction which results in an insignificant negative impact to net interest income.

LendingClub Holding Company
At the holding company level, we continue to measure interest rate sensitivity by evaluating the change in fair value of certain assets and liabilities due to a hypothetical change in interest rates. Principal payments on our loans HFI at fair value continue to reduce the outstanding balance of this portfolio, and, as a result, the fair value impact from changes in interest rates continues to diminish.
Contingencies
For a comprehensive discussion of contingencies as of March 31, 2022, see “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.”
Critical Accounting Estimates
Certain of the Company’s accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity are discussed in “Part II – Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these critical accounting estimates during the first quarter of 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
For a comprehensive discussion regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Market Risk.”
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2022. In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, of achieving the desired control objectives, and is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on the evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, were designed and functioned effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the first quarter of 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
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 of the 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 (including the war in Ukraine), cyber-attacks, public health issues, natural disasters, severe weather, climate change, infrastructure failure or 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 cause us to incur additional expenses. Furthermore, in the event of any disruption to our operations or those of the companies with whom we do business with, we could 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.
For example, the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, the responses thereto (such as sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries) and any expansion thereof is likely to have unpredictable and/or adverse effects on the domestic and global economy and financial markets. Although we have not yet experienced any material direct impact from the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, in part because our business is conducted exclusively in the United States, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be impacted if the conflict prolongs and/or its impact exacerbates. Further, the Ukrainian-Russian conflict and its impact may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report, such as escalating inflation, elevating the possibility of a decline in economic conditions and increasing cybersecurity risk.
