Proposal 3: Authorized Shares Proposal
General
On March 27, 2026, our Board approved and declared advisable to adopt and approve an amendment to our Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to decrease the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 250,000,000 to 15,000,000 and the number of authorized shares of our preferred stock from 10,000,000 to 500,000 (the “Proposed Authorized Shares Amendment”). Our Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes 260,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. The Proposed Authorized Shares Amendment would decrease the total number of authorized shares of capital stock to 15,500,000 shares. Our common stock is all of a single class, with equal voting, distribution, liquidation and other rights.
As of the Record Date, a total of 2,864,405 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding, 146,555 shares were held in treasury, and there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding. As of the Record Date, there were (i) options outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 10,760 shares of common stock and 236,710 unvested RSUs and performance stock units (“PSUs”) and (ii) an aggregate of 424,111 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc. Omnibus Equity Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Accordingly, out of the 250,000,000 shares of common stock presently authorized, 3,535,986 shares of common stock were issued or reserved for issuance, 146,555 shares were held in treasury, and 246,317,459 shares of common stock were unreserved and remain available for future issuance as of the Record Date. Additionally, out of the 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock presently authorized, 0 shares of preferred stock were issued or reserved for issuance and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock were unreserved and remain available for future issuance as of the Record Date.
The form of the proposed amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to decrease the number of authorized shares of our common stock and preferred stock is attached as set forth in Appendix A to this proxy statement.
Reasons for the Authorized Shares Proposal
Our Board believes that it is appropriate and in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders to decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock given the Reverse Stock Split that was implemented in 2025 and stockholder engagement discussions related to our current authorized share number. Additionally, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders to decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock in order to reduce the annual Delaware Franchise Tax while continuing to provide a sufficient number of authorized shares for various corporate purposes, including but not limited to, possible future corporate finance, equity issuance, business development, equity compensation and other general corporate purposes.
If this proposal is approved, the authorized but unissued shares would be available for issuance at the discretion of the Board and without further stockholder approval, except as may be required by law or the rules of the Company’s then-current listing market or exchange. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company does not currently have any plan or arrangement to issue any shares of common stock, including through a financing transaction, if this proposal is approved.
Adoption of the Authorized Shares Proposal would not affect the rights of existing holders of common stock or preferred stock and would not have any dilutive effect on the proportionate voting power or other rights of existing stockholders. Existing holders of our common stock or any preferred stock issued following the adoption of the proposed amendment will not be entitled to pre-emptive rights with respect to any future issuances of common stock or preferred stock.
Anti-Takeover Considerations
The Company has not proposed the decrease in the number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock for anti-takeover purposes. However, the Company would retain the ability to use authorized but unissued shares to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent a change in control or management of the Company. For example, without further stockholder approval, the Board could issue
