Item 2.02
 
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On February 20, 2018, LendingClub Corporation (“Lending Club,” or the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Earnings Press Release”) and will hold a conference call regarding its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. A copy of the Earnings Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

The information set forth in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

LendingClub is making reference to non-GAAP financial information in both the Earnings Press Release and the conference call. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is contained in the Earnings Press Release.

Item 8.01
 
Other Events

On February 20, 2018, in the press release discussed in Item 2.02 above, the Company announced that it entered into a settlement, pending court approval, to resolve the class actions (the "Preliminary Settlement") with the named plaintiffs and certain of the other remaining defendants in previously disclosed class action lawsuits in federal and California state courts, referred to as In re LendingClub Corporation Securities Litigation and In re LendingClub Corporation Shareholder Litigation, respectively. These matters have been previously described in the Company’s quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, respectively.

The Preliminary Settlement noted in this report is subject to certain conditions, including court approval of a final settlement agreement. There can be no assurance that the settlement will be finalized and approved.

The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements above, including statements regarding settlement of the lawsuits and anticipated future financial results are “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements include, among other things, those factors set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K, each as filed with the SEC, and finalization or approval of the settlement agreement as described above. The Company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in forward-looking statements. The Company does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
