On May 22, 2025, Ariel Cohen informed Lyft, Inc. (the “Company”) of his resignation from the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), effective immediately. Mr. Cohen’s decision to resign from the Board was due to his other professional responsibilities, and not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
“On behalf of Lyft’s board of directors and the entire team, I want to express my deep gratitude to Ariel for his significant contributions to Lyft during his tenure,” said Lyft CEO David Risher. “His founder’s perspective, and operational and technical expertise in the travel sector brought valuable insights to our Board and informed our strategy. We will miss his presence on the Board and wish him continued success in his entrepreneurial journey.”
“Serving on Lyft’s Board for the last four years has been a privilege and a rewarding experience. The Company’s tireless focus on customer obsession is bringing transformation to the industry and driving remarkable momentum in the business,” said Mr. Cohen. “As I now focus my full attention on growing Navan, I remain confident in Lyft’s direction under David’s and the Board’s leadership and the strong foundation the Company has built. I look forward to watching Lyft’s continued innovation and success, knowing the Board and management team will continue driving value for shareholders.”
The Board intends to decrease the number of authorized directors from ten to nine.
