Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 1, 2016, Prosper Marketplace, Inc. (“PMI”) and Prosper Funding LLC (“Prosper Funding” and, collectively with PMI, the “Registrants”), as applicable, and WebBank, an FDIC-insured, Utah-chartered industrial bank (“WebBank”), entered into (i) an Asset Sale Agreement between Prosper Funding and WebBank (the “Sale Agreement”), (ii) a Marketing Agreement between PMI and WebBank (the “Marketing Agreement”), and (iii) a Stand By Purchase Agreement between PMI and WebBank (the “Purchase Agreement,” and collectively, the “Origination and Sale Agreements”).

The Origination and Sale Agreements set forth the respective obligations of the Registrants and WebBank with respect to the origination and sales activities of consumer loans originated on or after August 1, 2016. Under the Sale Agreement, WebBank sells and assigns certain consumer loans or related participation rights to Prosper Funding.  As consideration for WebBank’s agreement to sell and assign such consumer loans or related participation rights, Prosper Funding agrees to pay WebBank certain fees in addition to the purchase price of such consumer loans or participation rights.  Under the Marketing Agreement, PMI identifies customers who qualify for WebBank’s consumer loans, markets such loan programs and provides an online interface and other operational services in support of such consumer loan program.  WebBank pays PMI a marketing fee in consideration for PMI’s marketing and other activities under the consumer loan program.  Under the Purchase Agreement, PMI has agreed to purchase consumer loans or related participation rights from WebBank in the event that Prosper Funding fails to purchase loans or participation rights that it is obligated to purchase under the Sale Agreement. The initial term of each of the Origination and Sale Agreements is three years.

The foregoing descriptions of the Origination and Sale Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Origination and Sale Agreements, which are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
