On August 18, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc.

Ms. McCarthy will serve as a director of the Company for a term expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, at which time her continued service on the Board will be subject to renomination and stockholder approval. The Board has determined that Ms. McCarthy qualifies as an independent director under Nasdaq rules.

Additionally, as a result of Ms. McCarthy's appointment, the Board is now composed of a majority of independent directors.
Ms. McCarthy is eligible to participate in the Company's Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. Please see the disclosure in the Proxy Statement under the heading "Director Compensation – Non-Employee Director Compensation Program" for a description of the program. The full text of the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated hereto by reference.
Ms. McCarthy has also entered into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement for directors and officers, a form of which is included as Exhibit 10.8 to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023.
There are no related party transactions between the Company and Ms. McCarthy which would require disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
