    Oportun provides inclusive, affordable financial services that empower hardworking individuals to build better futures

    Supported by robust customer demand and favorable credit and market conditions, we pursued an ambitious growth strategy leading up to and following our 2019 IPO to extend our impact across underserved communities, strengthen relationships with our loyal members, and unlock long-term value for stockholders through an expanded suite of products

    However, the economic environment changed rapidly and unexpectedly beginning in early 2022; rising and sustained inflation increased costs of living and impacted our customers’ ability to repay their loans, putting significant pressure on our business, and rising interest rates increased our cost of capital

    The Board and management took swift and decisive action to reposition the business – tightening credit standards, reducing our cost structure, and streamlining our operations

    As a result of these actions, our performance has improved; we have delivered improved credit metrics and increased profitability, and the market has recognized our progress – our stock price has more than doubled over the last 12 months, outperforming all but one of our peers as well as the relevant stock indices

     

     

    LOGO

    Despite the meaningful progress we have made, one of our stockholders, Findell Capital Management, is pursuing a disruptive proxy contest, seeking to remove our CEO from the Board and replace him with a candidate who, in our view, lacks unique or additive skills and is not a suitable replacement for our CEO

    We have met with Findell numerous times, objectively considered its suggestions, and taken several actions consistent with its recommendations; we have continued to take actions to optimize our Board composition and governance to align with best practices

    For more information, visit VoteForOportun.com

     

     

            
      Replacing our CEO with a candidate who is materially less qualified is a serious mistake that would risk destabilizing Oportun at a critical time   

    Stockholders should vote on the GREEN proxy card to support the management team and incumbent directors who are delivering results and committed to advancing Oportun’s progress and momentum

    LOGO

    Please vote on the GREEN proxy card “FOR” Oportun’s two nominees,

    and “WITHHOLD” on Findell’s candidate, using one of the following options:

     

    LOGO  

    Online – Follow the instructions set forth on the enclosed GREEN proxy card

    Phone – Follow the instructions set forth on the enclosed GREEN proxy card

    LOGO  

    Mail – Sign and date the enclosed GREEN proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided

    Remember, please discard and do not sign any white Findell proxy card. If you have already voted using a white proxy card, you may cancel that vote simply by voting again using the Company’s GREEN proxy card or GREEN voting instruction form. Only your latest-dated vote will count!
