AMENDMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE
2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To be held on June 11, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 14A (this "Amendment") amends the definitive proxy statement filed by LendingClub Corporation ("LendingClub", the "Company", "we", "us", "our") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 25, 2024 (the "Proxy Statement") and made available to the Company's stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Company's Board of Directors for use at the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, scheduled to be held on June 11, 2024 at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time (the "Annual Meeting"). This Amendment is being filed with the SEC and made available to stockholders on or about May 2, 2024.

The purpose of this Amendment is to correct the treatment of abstentions for Proposal Seven of the Proxy Statement, as disclosed under "Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and the Annual Meeting - 9. What votes are required to approve each of the proposals?" on page 77 of the Proxy Statement.

Other than as set forth below, no other changes are being made to the Proxy Statement or to the matters being submitted to the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. This Amendment modifies and amends the Proxy Statement and should be read in conjunction with it. This Amendment is not complete without the Proxy Statement, including other amendments or supplements thereto. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Proxy Statement.

If you have already returned your proxy or voting instruction card or provided voting instructions, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote. If you have already voted or given your proxy and wish to change your vote, you should follow the procedures described in the Proxy Statement. Please see "Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and the Annual Meeting - 16. How do I change or revoke my proxy?" on page 79 of the Proxy Statement.

If you have not already voted, we urge you to do so. Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own.
