**To:** All Oportun Employees

**From:** Raul Vazquez

**Re:** Important Update On Our Upcoming Annual Meeting

Team –

Many of you have been asking how you can continue to help Oportun as we navigate the proxy contest in connection with this year's Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which will be held virtually at 8:00 a.m. PT on Friday, July 18, 2025.

The best way to help is to remain focused on serving our members and executing our three strategic priorities — improving credit outcomes, strengthening business economics and identifying high-quality originations. I know this proxy contest has created distractions, but I'm grateful for your continued dedication to Oportun. Your steadfast commitment to delivering responsible financial services has made us the innovative, mission-focused company we are today. Thanks to your hard work, I am confident that Oportun can continue to thrive.

The other way to help, if you are an Oportun stockholder, is by voting ahead of the Annual Meeting. This year, your vote is more important than ever and will impact the future of our company, our members and your investment.

Every vote is important — regardless of how many shares you own. If you are a stockholder and haven't voted yet, we urge you to vote **"<u>FOR</u>" ONLY** Oportun's two nominees — Carlos Minetti and myself — using the **GREEN** proxy card **TODAY**. Please be sure to vote with respect to each account in which you hold shares.

For more information on how to vote, please visit VoteForOportun.com/how-to-vote. You may also call our proxy solicitor for assistance: Innisfree M&A Incorporated, **(877) 800-5195** (toll-free from the U.S. and Canada).

Thank you for your continued support and dedication.

Sincerely,

Raul
