***Risk Factor Summary***

Investing in our Class A common stock involves numerous risks, including the risks described in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. You should carefully consider these risks before making an investment. Below are some of these risks, any one of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we are unable to drive future growth or manage our growth effectively, our brand, Company culture, and financial performance may suffer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The global fashion industry is highly competitive and rapidly changing, and we may not be able to compete effectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We rely on consumer discretionary spending and have been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by economic downturns and other macroeconomic conditions or trends and developments, including global trade policies and tariffs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our continued growth depends on our ability to attract new, and retain existing, customers, which may fluctuate based on our level of investment and success in our marketing initiatives. If we are unable to cost-effectively grow our customer base, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we fail to retain customers, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be harmed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we are unable to acquire and manage our products effectively and plan for future expenses, our operating results could be adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our use of AI may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, operational or other challenges.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** We face risks arising from cost-cutting and restructuring of our operations, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or business reputation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We rely heavily on the effective operation of our proprietary technology systems and software, as well as those of our third-party vendors and service providers, for our business to effectively operate and to safeguard confidential information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Shipping and logistics are a critical part of our business and our supply chain and any changes or interruptions in shipping or logistics operations could adversely affect our operating results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Recapitalization Transactions, or those benefits may be short-lived or insufficient for our future needs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure to manage our Board transition and related changes could materially adversely affect our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In connection with the Recapitalization Transactions, we entered into a new credit agreement, which includes covenants that could restrict our operations or our ability to pursue growth strategies and initiatives, and failure to comply with these covenants could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, which may result in material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations, our ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations and our access to the capital markets could be impaired.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our business is subject to a large number of U.S. and non-U.S. laws and regulations, many of which are evolving.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are subject to U.S. and certain foreign export and import controls, sanctions, embargoes, anti-corruption laws, and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Compliance with these legal standards could impair our ability to compete in domestic and international markets, and we could face criminal liability and other serious consequences for violations, which could harm our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We rely on the experience and expertise of our Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, senior management team, key technical and strategic employees and hourly personnel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure to adequately obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights could harm our brand, devalue our proprietary content, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are subject to rapidly changing and increasingly stringent laws and industry standards relating to data privacy, data security, data protection, and consumer protection. The restrictions, obligations, and costs imposed by these laws, or our actual or perceived failure to comply with them, could materially impair our ability to grow our business, negatively impact the results of our operations and subject us to liabilities that adversely affect our business, operations, and financial performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We face risks associated with brand and manufacturing partners from whom our products are sourced or co-manufactured.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We rely on third parties to provide payment processing infrastructure underlying our business. If these third-party providers become unavailable or unavailable on favorable terms, our business could be adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We depend on search engines, social media platforms, mobile application stores, content-based online advertising and other online sources to attract consumers to and promote our website and our mobile application, which may be affected by third-party interference beyond our control and, as we grow, our marketing and/or customer acquisition costs may rise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any failure by us, our brand partners, or our third-party manufacturers to comply with our vendor code of conduct, product safety, labor, or other laws, or to provide safe factory conditions for their workers, may damage our reputation and brand, and harm our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We face risks associated with our indebtedness and potential need for additional capital, including that new financing or restructuring or refinancing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all and that our operations may be adversely impacted by the covenants in our current debt agreement or future financing agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the rules and listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) and rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements, which means that our stockholders do not have the same protections as those afforded to stockholders of companies that are not "controlled." This could make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors or otherwise harm our stock price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are currently noncompliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires listed companies to have at least three audit committee members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our share price may be volatile, and investors may be unable to sell their shares at or above the price they purchased them.

If we are unable to adequately address these and other risks we face, our business may be harmed.

The forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The forward-looking statements in this Annual Report are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Annual Report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

You should read this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the documents that we reference in this Annual Report and have filed as exhibits to this Annual Report with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Annual Report. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

**Part I**

**Item 1. Business**

**Overview**

Our mission is to power women to feel their best every day.

Since our founding in November 2009, we have built the world's first shared designer closet with thousands of styles by hundreds of brand partners. We give customers access to our "unlimited closet" through our subscription offering ("Subscription") or the ability to rent a-la-carte through our reserve offering ("Reserve"). We also give our subscribers and customers the ability to buy our products through our Resale offering. Our Closet in the Cloud offers a wide assortment of items for every occasion, from evening wear and accessories to ready-to-wear, workwear, denim, casual, maternity, outerwear, blouses, knitwear, loungewear, jewelry, handbags, activewear and ski wear. We have served approximately 3.5 million lifetime customers across all of our offerings and we had 183,552 total subscribers (active and paused) as of January 31, 2026. We had 143,796 active subscribers as of January 31, 2026. In fiscal year 2025, 90% of our total revenue was generated by subscribers compared to 88% in fiscal year 2024.

We have created a two-sided discovery engine: customers find new brands they love and brand partners find new customers they need. For customers, we unlock freedom of self-expression through access to our "Unlimited Closet" that has a constantly rotating supply of styles for all occasions, seasons, moods and price points. This leads to deep engagement with our platform as customers discover new brands they love. Brand partners are able to tap into our large, engaged community to discover new customers and get unparalleled data insights. All of this helps them grow and run their businesses and encourages them to partner more closely with us over time.

When our customers use Rent the Runway, they experience the magic of accessing an "Unlimited Closet" while saving money and time and reducing clothing waste. We deliver significant financial value to customers, with our average subscriber wearing clothes worth more than 24 times what she pays for a monthly RTR Subscription on an annualized basis (more than $48,000 in designer retail value in fiscal year 2025<sup>1</sup>).

Our evolving selection of products is enabled by our designer brand partnerships. We source virtually all of our products directly from or in partnership with our brand partners that include many of the most renowned and relevant names in the fashion industry. The nature of our customer value proposition means our customers are typically younger and/or different from other audiences our brands are exposed to. For example, many of our brand partners work with us because we introduce them to new, desirable customers and deepen awareness of their brands. Over the last 16 years, we have fostered strong relationships with our brand partners and have experienced limited voluntary attrition. Our Closet in the Cloud connects our deeply engaged customers and our differentiated brand partners on a powerful platform built around our brand, data, logistics and technology advantages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Brand Partner Advantage. Our assortment contains thousands of new, current season styles that luxury competitors simultaneously carry - all available for Subscription, Reserve, and/or Resale at much lower prices. We believe our engaged and loyal customer base paired with the data that we offer to our brand partners makes us an essential destination for many of the world's most important brands. Over time, our commercial relationships with our brand partners have evolved towards more capital efficient forms of rental product acquisition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Data Advantage. We capture a vast amount of unique, actionable data on our customers and products. We leverage this data to create benefits for our customers (deep personalization of styles and fit), brand partners (understanding of customer demand patterns and garment lifecycle) and our business (higher subscriber lifetime value and better product return on investment).

<sup>1</sup> We calculate designer retail values using original retail and/or comparable value prices. An original retail price is the price at which the manufacturer suggested that retailers in the marketplace, including department stores and specialty retailers, sell the item in new condition. A comparable value price is used for our Exclusive Designs and is based on an evaluation of prices for new comparable merchandise sold elsewhere in the marketplace.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Technology and Logistics Advantage. We have developed a proprietary operating system that pairs proprietary software with differentiated infrastructure and hardware. Our expertise in vertically integrated just-in-time reverse logistics and garment science allows us to achieve multi-year monetization on our garments. We have also built a custom platform that supports all of our consumer-facing offerings on our website and app.

**How It Works**

We offer customers three ways to access our closet: monthly subscription or "Subscription", a-la-carte rentals or "Reserve" and purchasing through our Resale offering.

***Subscription***

*Pick a Plan.* When customers subscribe, they select from a menu of entry plans. Each plan starts with five items, or "spots," per shipment, and varies based on how often the subscriber wishes to receive new shipments, each a "swap." Today, our subscribers onboard into plans that offer one or more shipments with pricing ranging from $109 to $275 per month.

*Customize.* Subscribers can customize their plans to adapt to their changing lifestyles, needs and budgets by adding spots at a prorated price of up to $31 or $33 per item per month and shipments for up to $35 - $60 per shipment per month, as they see fit (plus applicable taxes and fees).

*Choose Items.* After picking a plan, subscribers browse our broad assortment of items to build their first shipment.

*Wear, Repeat*. When subscribers place an order, we aim to deliver their order within three business days of shipping from our fulfillment centers in our reusable garment bags, cleaned and ready to wear.

Subscribers keep items for as long as they would like and may choose to return some or all of their items with each new shipment. When subscribers select the items they want to return on our app, we allow them to immediately start building their next shipment, maximizing their time with items at home. After a grace period, we typically charge a modest late fee for delayed returns.

Subscribers typically visit our app multiple times per week to browse our offering, build their next shipment, and plan for their upcoming occasions. They are asked to give us real-time feedback on the size, fit and quality of the items they rent. The structured data we collect from customer feedback allows us to both improve her experience as well as optimize our garment care and, therefore, our return on investment of the items returned. Our customers also have the option of leaving photo reviews of items they rented to share their experience with the Rent the Runway community, including fit information, occasions they rented for and styling tips. Once subscribers confirm their new shipment, they can return their items in RTR's reusable garment bag to the nearest preferred shipping partner location using a prepaid return label. In addition, a majority of our subscribers have the option to return their items via our at-home pickup offering that we introduced in 2021. As of January 31, 2026, our at-home pickup offering covered 91% of our subscriber base.

***Reserve***

When customers want to rent items a-la-carte for an upcoming event, they book styles for four or eight days through our Reserve offering. After selecting pieces, they typically select a delivery date one to two days before their event. We provide a free backup size of the customer's choosing and the option to rent a backup style at a discount. At the end of the four- or eight-day rental period, customers simply return their items in the reusable garment bag using the prepaid shipping label included with their rental. Just like our Subscription offering, our customers have the option of leaving a review, and we clean and care for items when they are returned.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

***Resale***

In addition to renting, customers also shop pre-loved styles from our closet at a discount to retail price, up to 90% off of designer retail value (which we calculate using original retail and/or comparable value prices). A Subscription is not required for purchase. Our subscribers also have the option to purchase items they already have at home.

**Our Customer Value Proposition** 

Through our platform, we have helped approximately 3.5 million lifetime customers discover the transformative power of utilizing our Closet in the Cloud across all of our offerings. Our customer base is diverse and spans age, household income distribution and U.S. geography.

Subscribers are customers who access our Closet in the Cloud via our monthly Subscription offering. The portion of our customers who are subscribers accounted for 90% of our revenue in fiscal year 2025. As of January 31, 2026, we had 143,796 Active Subscribers and 183,552 total subscribers including paused subscribers, and during fiscal year 2025, we had 143,558 Average Active Subscribers. Many of our subscribers started as customers in Reserve and/or Resale and we continue to see conversion from Reserve and Resale customers into subscribers for many years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Variety and Discovery.*** With thousands of styles across hundreds of brands in our Closet in the Cloud, Rent the Runway gives customers the ability to always wear something new to them and inspires customers to expand their fashion tastes without risk of buyer's remorse.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Value.*** Rent the Runway makes thousands of designer styles accessible through our Subscription offering for a flat monthly price or through our Reserve offering on a per item basis. We deliver significant financial value to customers, with our average subscriber wearing clothes worth more than 24 times what she pays for a monthly RTR Subscription on an annualized basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Self-Confidence.*** According to our March 2023 Subscriber Survey, 83% of our subscribers say RTR makes them the most confident version of themselves at work or in social settings. Because there is no commitment to keep an item rented from RTR, we fuel greater self-expression for our customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Personalization and Convenienc*e**. We use our rich customer data to create a personalized storefront for customers based on their style preferences, browsing history and past rentals. Our understanding of our customer improves with each interaction, and we use our personalization algorithms to provide size recommendations to each customer at the item level. By showing customers designs they will love that are attractively styled, and likely to fit, we continue to drive strong loyalty and monetization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Customer Experience and Community.*** Our customers are deeply engaged, as evidenced by the 68.0 million customer reviews posted as of January 2026. We continue to make enhancements to our review process designed to allow customers to make smarter choices and feel good about their selections. In addition, we introduced a subscriber loyalty program in fiscal year 2025. Rent the Runway has also benefited from virality and word-of-mouth marketing over the years and has focused on enhancing our social media and word-of-mouth channels in fiscal years 2025 and 2026.

**Our Unique Brand Partner Approach**

We acquire our products through three channels: Wholesale, Share by RTR and Exclusive Designs. The portion of our products sourced through Share by RTR and Exclusive Designs - our more capital-efficient sources - has grown from approximately 26% in fiscal year 2019 to approximately 69% in fiscal year 2025. We procure virtually 100% of our products directly from or in collaboration with brand partners and our business model has been built on shared success with brands. Through their relationships with us, they get access to unique data and exposure to a broad customer base, and our variety of sourcing channels provides brands with flexibility that is designed to meet their needs and ours. Our partnerships with brands have created a significant product and cost advantage. Because we source directly from brands, we also can control our assortment and acquire styles in the volumes and sizes we want, we have access to current season items and all of our items are guaranteed authentic without the cost or infrastructure of traditional authentication platforms. See Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Our Product Acquisition Strategy."

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

***Wholesale***

Wholesale includes products we acquire directly from our brand partners, typically at a discount to wholesale price based on our scale. We have observed that the original retail prices set by the brands are often at an approximately 2.5x mark-up to the wholesale price. As we continue to expand our selection and grow the share of our assortment acquired from a designer, we benefit from greater discounts on product acquisition. Wholesale represented 31% of our product acquisition in fiscal year 2025.

***Share by RTR***

Through Share by RTR, we acquire items directly from brand partners on consignment, at zero or a fraction of the Wholesale cost with performance-based revenue share payments to our brand partners over time. Since launching Share by RTR in 2018 with just seven partners, we have grown to over 400 brands that partner with us on Share by RTR across all categories. The revenue share fees are calculated net of a logistics fee charged to the brands for each rental. If a piece is in greater demand, it will drive higher revenue, which could result in brands earning more on the item over time than if it had been sold through Wholesale subject to a maximum cap. Share by RTR aligns incentives between brands and RTR and reduces product risk as it is largely a pay-for-performance model. Our Share by RTR arrangements with brands target delivering 75% to 100% of comparable Wholesale cost to the brand in the first twelve to eighteen months; however there is no minimum commitment other than the upfront payment, if applicable. Nearly all Share by RTR deals consummated after September 2020 include a cap on total potential payments to the brand partner. Share by RTR represented 57% of our product acquisition in fiscal year 2025. Increases (or decreases) in the proportion of total items acquired via Share by RTR as well as the usage of Share by RTR items will increase (or decrease) variable expenses recorded in the Rental product depreciation and revenue share line item on our consolidated statement of operations.

***Exclusive Designs***

We leverage our data to create highly desirable Exclusive Designs in collaboration with select brand partners that we manufacture through third-party partners to be more durable and at approximately 35% lower cost than Wholesale. For these collaborations, we provide a data blueprint to brands and, based on this data, they design new collections for us that carry their brand name. Beginning in fiscal year 2025, we introduced another approach to our Exclusive Designs in which certain brands design, source and manufacture the rental product directly in partnership with us.

Our Exclusive Designs collections enable our brand partners to innovate their businesses and enter into new product lines at reduced cost to them. All of the styles are exclusive to rent on RTR for a period of time, after which brands may monetize these exclusive designs through other channels, which in some cases is subject to a royalty fee payment to Rent the Runway (that we have not begun to earn to date). Increases (or decreases) in the proportion of total items acquired via Exclusive Designs as well as the usage of Exclusive Designs items may increase (or decrease) variable expenses recorded in the Rental product depreciation and revenue share line item on our consolidated statement of operations. We also have a small number of products bearing our trademarks, which are non-exclusive designs produced by third party partners at a significantly lower average cost than Wholesale to strategically fill assortment gaps. Exclusive Designs accounted for 12% of our product acquisition in fiscal year 2025.

**Our Marketing Strategy**

Our brand and deeply engaged consumer base have historically allowed us to acquire customers efficiently. Since our founding, we have spent less than 10% of total revenue on marketing, and our growth has been mostly organic. The majority of our customers over the last 16 years have been acquired organically. As we have scaled, we believe that our brand is a significant point of differentiation with consumers and brand partners and we believe we have a continued opportunity to increase brand awareness. As of February 2026, our unaided brand awareness was 35% among U.S. women ages 25 - 44 with a household income of $50,000 or more and 44% among U.S. women ages 25 - 44 with a household income of $100,000 or more.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

Many of our customers share a love of the Rent the Runway experience and value proposition, which starts conversations both online and offline and leads to word of mouth adoption. Our clothing often becomes a visual billboard and advertisement for our platform. Many women share their Rent the Runway experience on social media and in their personal lives, which helps drive our organic growth and brand awareness. When our customers are wearing RTR and someone compliments them or asks about what they are wearing, 97% of our subscribers share that it's Rent the Runway as opposed to the designer brand name. According to our March 2023 Subscriber Survey, nearly half of our subscribers have posted themselves wearing RTR on their social media over five times. Renting from us is an inherently social behavior: 76% of our subscribers rent along with a friend or colleague. In fiscal year 2025, we implemented a brand refresh and focused on community and customer-centric marketing approaches, as well as, diversification of our marketing channels and optimizing our spend.

Our marketing strategy in fiscal year 2026 is aimed at continuing to unleash the power of community. We plan to continue to spotlight community and feature real members in an effort to build authentic consideration for our brand and customer offering. We're focused on building a word-of-mouth engine that is intended to drive growth and reduce our reliance on paid marketing. Additionally, we expect to continue our focus on our search engine optimization (SEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) channels to drive traffic and conversion. Although we focus on full funnel marketing, our marketing spend has prioritized, and is expected to continue to prioritize, paid marketing over upper funnel, brand marketing investments.

**Our Data Approach**

One of our significant differentiators is the vast amount of quality, actionable data that we are able to collect on our customers and our products. We leverage this data to create benefits for our customers, our brand partners and our business.

We capture thousands of unique data points per subscriber per year and over 20 unique data points per item each time it is rented across four channels including website data, post-wear data, operations data and customer data. We also identify and tag approximately 75 detailed attributes per style. By mapping our interactions with our products' inherent attributes, we create a feedback loop which allows us to optimize the supply of products in ways we believe that would be difficult for traditional retailers to achieve or replicate. We believe this is one of our biggest competitive advantages.

We believe that our differentiated business model enables us to collect substantially more data than traditional fashion retailers and we use this data to improve the customer experience. Customers learn that providing data enhances their experience on the platform over time, which enables us to collect even more data from them. This flywheel helps propel the exponential growth of our post-wear, customer and operations data. We use our data to create what we believe are the most relevant assortments and personalized experiences for our customers, which in turn helps to drive loyalty. As we learn more about a customer, our personalized features give us greater ability to direct her towards the items that optimize both customer lifetime value and rental product return on investment for us.

Our data benefits brand partners in numerous ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Understanding the Garment Life Cycle:** We help partners grow their business through the data we provide. For example, product longevity data often help our brands increase the life of their garments, which can support their sustainability goals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Understanding Customer Demand:** As our customers wear (or don't wear) and review items, we can assess demand due to our robust attribution of products paired with customer interaction data. This data highlights growth opportunities for brands as well as areas for improvement.

Our data also allows us to optimize the return on investment on products and customer lifetime value, which are dependent on the following inputs, all of which continuously improve as our business scales.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Scientific Product Acquisition:** Our data provides a comprehensive picture of our products by bringing together customer feedback, operations data and inherent product attributes. Our teams utilize this data to optimize the styles we need and the quantity per style.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Price Optimization:** We price our products across Subscription, Reserve and Resale by using data to take into account demand signals and the expected useful life and turns of each item. We have the flexibility to set prices based on the business needs and plan to assess additional opportunities in this area, including the use of new AI tools for dynamic pricing designed for even greater efficiency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Lower Cost Product:** We leverage our data to create highly desirable Exclusive Designs in collaboration with our brand partners that we or our brand partners manufacture to be more durable at significantly lower cost. Since launching Exclusive Designs in 2018, we have developed over 45 collections.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Longer Product Life:** Our feedback to brands helps us customize for higher longevity of our products - we understand how to clean and care for garments to maximize multi-year monetization and incremental turns per unit.

***Data Science***

Data powers our technology and logistics operations, from recommender systems to forecasting. We have created data science algorithms that help us achieve better outcomes for the business.

Some of our most impactful proprietary algorithms include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Deep 1:1 Personalization:** For each customer and item, we compute several scores that measure the affinity of item and customer through factorization machines and deep learning. We leverage these personalization scores across the business to: rank products on our subscriber personalized storefront and in search results, recommend a specific size within a style on product pages, compute general product relevance at the subscriber level and inform product acquisition, inform sizing of new apparel designs with our brand partners and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Retention Predictive Model:** We leverage a retention predictive model and analytics to identify and understand the relative importance of various drivers of loyalty and prioritize the interventions that have the highest probability of improving customer retention. We regularly leverage this data to experiment with different approaches to retain customers based on this model in a targeted and personalized way.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Computer Vision for Products:** For each style in our assortment, we generate an embedding with over 2,000 visual style dimensions using deep learning that capture color, pattern shape, sleeve length, etc. We leverage this data as a feature in our recommender systems, to cluster styles to inform product acquisition and provide product attributes in our product catalog amongst other uses.

**Our Technology and Logistics Platform**

We have built a cohesive platform that pairs proprietary and third-party software with differentiated infrastructure and hardware all tailored to the sharing economy of physical goods. Our proprietary software and key integrations with third-parties leverage our vast and unique dataset to optimize key outcomes for RTR.

***Proprietary and Third-Party Software and Systems***

We have purpose-built technology to support three key areas of our business:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Customer Facing e-Commerce (including 2-Way e-Commerce)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Rental Reverse Logistics

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Merchandising & Products Control

In fiscal year 2026, we expect to continue to make improvements across our technology stack, including continued improvements to our cloud infrastructure, to enable greater scale, and enhanced resiliency. Additionally, we continue to enhance our core platforms to improve search, merchandising, and product discovery, aimed at creating a more seamless and personalized customer experience. We continue to focus on improving the performance of our website and mobile application, including increasing reliability to improve the customer experience and keep pace with industry standards. We have also significantly increased our investment in artificial intelligence (AI) driven solutions and features, focusing on applications that enhance both the customer and operational experience. These AI initiatives are designed to provide even more personalized product and fit recommendations, optimize rental product allocation and logistics planning, and ultimately improve developer velocity through advanced tooling and automation, designed to ensure that our platform remains at the forefront of the circular economy.

*Customer Facing e-Commerce (including 2-Way e-commerce)*

We have a 2-way relationship with our customers — in that nearly every item is returned and the customer provides feedback. We have built custom frontend platforms that support Subscription, Reserve and Resale in one cohesive experience for the customer, which allows us to optimize our product offering for the customer based on her needs.

*Rental Reverse Logistics*

We designed our technology and reverse logistics operations to support the processes in our fulfillment centers and ensure that we can process orders efficiently and extend the useful life of our products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Garment Science:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Cleaning Intelligence: We have over a decade of data and expertise in optimizing the life of a garment by leveraging different cleaning and care methods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Cleaning Automation: Automation supports dynamic sorting of items into as many as 21 different cleaning programs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Garment Care and Restoration: All units undergo one or more quality audits before being available to rent for the next customer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Intelligent Fulfillment Network**: Our unified booking engine, the proprietary "brain" of our distribution capabilities, dynamically manages decisions such as which fulfillment center to ship a unit from or which transportation type to select to reduce cost. We are therefore able to maintain uptime throughout the year, such as during power or other outages by moving demand to another facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Optimized Storage:** Garments and accessories are stored in multi-story pick modules that utilize both on-hanger and flat pack storage solutions. All items are stored randomly, maximizing the utilization of cubic storage space. Random storage allows for efficient putaway of garments and dynamically created pick paths that save labor cost.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Fulfillment Efficiency:** We have automated various parts of the fulfillment process including picking, order consolidation and packing. Our fulfillment engine dynamically prioritizes customer orders based on promised delivery date, transportation departure schedules and available capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Transportation Innovation:** We have invested in an outbound and inbound network that allows our customers to receive packages and return items efficiently via national returns logistics providers, including through our convenient at-home pickup program.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

***Merchandising and Product Control***

Our proprietary product catalog system is the backbone of our rental product management. A flexible taxonomy supports myriad types of products, and allows us to ingest and manage items at the SKU level. This system uses a combination of manual and automated processes to assign product attributes per style, making the ingestion of new styles into the Rent the Runway catalog fast and easy without sacrificing valuable data collection. The catalog serves as the starting point for our products, and drives many areas of the Rent the Runway website and operation including quality control, search, navigation, and filtering. Our system allows us to customize controls around the availability of rentable items and is designed to enable us to optimize product utilization.

While we have built the majority of our circular platform, we strategically leverage third-party software for commodity functionality where our problems are not unique. These include pieces of the customer experience and service tools and enterprise resource planning capabilities.

***Logistics Infrastructure***

Within our warehouses, we have integrated superior garment care equipment, internally and externally developed software and proprietary cleaning programs to deliver high-end garment processing at massive scale. We have implemented large-scale, innovative automation and other processes for garment storage, picking, shipping, receiving and restoration of garments to excellent condition. We are also evaluating and investing in AI technologies to improve operational efficiencies within our fulfillment centers. These initiatives are intended to drive cost savings, while increasing our total shipment capacity and increasing the longevity of products, our biggest asset.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Strategic Distribution:** We have two fulfillment centers, in Arlington, Texas and Secaucus, New Jersey totaling approximately 486,000 square feet. We have the capacity to store more than two million garments and accessories on multiple floors across our fulfillment centers. We aim to deliver industry leading fulfillment promises with a goal of delivering subscription orders within two to three business days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Garment Care Hardware:** Our facilities are equipped with a curated set of over 420 pieces of digitally integrated garment care hardware including wet cleaning, dry cleaning and spray cleaning machines; dryers, steam tunnels, pressers, spotting boards, auto-baggers and commercial sewing machines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Processing:** Garments flow through the facility on both rail and belt-driven conveyance guided by RFID tags linked to a massive array of cleaning instructions set by our proprietary operating system. A variety of item types are sorted based on cleaning, storage and repair methods. After discrete processing, they fall back into continuous flow and random storage, which drives labor efficiency and maximizes use of physical space.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Proven Scalability:** Our infrastructure is highly scalable and we expect our weekly processing capacity to increase over time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Transportation Management:** Since August 2023, we have partnered with a major national carrier to provide us with competitive shipping rates and consolidate the vast majority of our shipping needs. We believe this partnership enables us to continue serving our customers with premium delivery and return service, and to further expand our elevated returns and delivery experience like At-Home Pick Up and Saturday Delivery. We also partner with other service providers in certain markets in order to serve our customers effectively.

**Our 2026 Strategy**

Our belief is that we can drive future growth by investing in and improving the customer experience. Unlike traditional e-commerce companies, we are an experience-based company that our subscribers engage with multiple times a week. Our goal is to make customers' time spent with Rent the Runway as efficient and delightful as possible and to continue to invest in our customer experience. Overall, we are focused on unlocking new ways for our customers to engage with us to expand the value of our platform and increase revenue, while maintaining financial discipline and driving cost efficiencies. We continue to work towards our key business and financial goals via a cross-functional pod structure, with dedicated employee pods for rental product, growth, and retention initiatives, which are designed to be nimble and results-driven and are expected to incorporate new AI technologies into how we work to drive productivity, efficiency and scale. As in fiscal year 2025, our plans for fiscal year 2026 are focused on improving customer retention and acquisition by increasing the availability and desirability of our rental products and continuing to leverage non-Wholesale procurement channels. We also expect to utilize AI technologies to improve efficiencies in our operation, including rental product quality control and utilization rates. In addition, we are focused on enhancing discovery on our site to drive stronger acquisition and retention, including by leveraging AI technologies. We plan to scale product enhancements and features that enhance the customer experience and give our subscribers even greater flexibility in how they engage with us, such as tools to add additional items to a Subscription plan on the spot or in response to a "back in stock" notification.

In fiscal year 2026, our marketing efforts are expected to continue to focus on improving our organic social channels and scaling our "word of mouth" strategy. We plan to increase community-centric content featuring real members to drive authentic consideration of our brand and customer offering. Finally, we expect to focus on our SEO and AEO channels to drive traffic and conversion.

Finally, we are also exploring new revenue-generating initiatives that leverage our existing customer base and infrastructure, such as the recently launched pilots of our RTR marketplace and B2B cleaning services in our warehouse operations. We believe these are opportunities to diversify our revenue streams while testing and learning into complementary offerings for both our customers and brand partners. We also aim to expand our advertising and partnerships offerings that enable brands to market to our customers via sampling programs, sponsored content, and other channels.

**Seasonality** 

We experience seasonality in our business, which has been impacted due to the effects of COVID-19, the macro environment, and business decisions and may in the future continue to evolve. For our Subscription rentals, we typically acquire the highest number of subscribers in March through May and September through November, as these are the times customers naturally think about changing over their wardrobes. We generally see a higher rate of subscribers pause in the summer, and in mid-December through the end of January. In prior periods, business decisions including, but not limited to, changes in prices for our Subscription programs, changes in timing and amounts of promotional spending, changes in timing and amounts of paid marketing spending, and changes in timing and quantity of rental product availability, have impacted typical seasonal trends. Given continued business changes, our future seasonality may not resemble historical trends.

We also experience seasonality in the timing of expenses and capital outlays. Transportation expense, and therefore fulfillment cost, is typically highest in the fourth fiscal quarter, given typical timing of carrier rate increases, higher service levels, such as more costly and expedited shipping, and competition during holidays. Our most significant receipt of rental product typically occurs in the first fiscal quarter and the third fiscal quarter, when we acquire product for the upcoming fall and spring seasons.

For additional information, see the section of Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors — Risks Related To Our Business and Industry — Our business is affected by seasonality."

**Competition**

The fashion industry is highly fragmented and competitive. Our competitors include other fashion rental companies and also a range of traditional and online retail and resale fashion companies. Our ability to remain competitive depends on the continued shift from an ownership to an access model. While other competitors may change their business models and endeavor to expand into the rental and resale space, online fashion rental and resale presents unique operational and technical challenges.

We compete primarily on the basis of brand recognition, customer and brand partner experience, product mix and quality, quality of our e-commerce experiences and services, and price. Additionally, we experience competition for consumer discretionary spending from other product and experiential categories. We believe we are able to compete effectively because there are numerous trends in our favor that support the continued growth and success of online fashion rental. For example, key trends include consumers prioritizing access over ownership, consumers increasingly seeking variety and newness, growth in online shopping, an increasingly female workforce, and consumers valuing sustainability as it relates to fashion choices. See the section of Part I, Item 1A titled "Risk Factors — Risks Related To Our Business and Industry — The global fashion industry is highly competitive and rapidly changing, and we may not be able to compete effectively."

**Government Regulation**

We are subject to a wide variety of complex laws and regulations in the United States and other jurisdictions in which we operate. The laws and regulations govern many issues related to our business practices, including those regarding consumer protection, worker classification, wage and hour, sick pay and leaves of absence, anti-discrimination and harassment, whistleblower protections, background checks, data privacy, cybersecurity, intellectual property, health and safety, environmental, competition, import/export, fees and payments, pricing, product liability and disclosures, property damage, communications, employee benefits, taxation, unionization and collective bargaining, contracts, arbitration agreements, class action waivers, terms of service, and accessibility of our mobile app or website.

These laws and regulations are constantly evolving and may be interpreted, applied, created, superseded, or amended in a manner that could harm our business. These changes may occur immediately or develop over time through judicial decisions or as new guidance or interpretations are provided by regulatory and governing bodies, such as federal, state and local administrative agencies. As we expand our business into new markets or introduce new features or offerings into existing markets, regulatory bodies or courts may claim that we are subject to additional requirements, or that we are prohibited from conducting business in certain jurisdictions.

Additionally, because we receive, use, store, transmit, and disclose personal data relating to customers on our platform, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations in the United States and other countries where we do business, as well as industry standards, relating to data privacy, data security and data protection, consumer protection, direct marketing, and online advertising. Such laws, regulations, and industry standards include, but are not limited to, Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 and all regulations promulgated thereunder, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act of 2003, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, the California Online Privacy Protection Act, and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.

See Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Legal and Regulatory Environment" for additional information about the laws and regulations we are subject to and the risks to our business associated with such laws and regulations.

**Intellectual Property**

Our intellectual property is an important component of our business. We rely on a combination of trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, employee non-disclosure and invention assignment agreements, and other legal and contractual rights, and policies and procedures, to establish and protect our proprietary rights.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

As of January 31, 2026, we had five issued patents in the United States that expire between 2031 and 2037, and one issued foreign patent. While we believe our patents in the aggregate generally enhance our competitive position, no single patent is material to us as a whole.

We register our brand names and product names, taglines and logos in the United States to the extent we determine appropriate and cost-effective. As of January 31, 2026, we had a total of 18 registered trademarks in the United States and 74 registered trademarks in non-U.S. jurisdictions, as well as certain pending trademark applications. As of January 31, 2026, we had also registered a total of 17 copyrights. We also register domain names for certain websites that we use in our business, such as www.renttherunway.com, as well as similar variations to protect our brands and marks from cybersquatters.

We control access to and use of our proprietary technology and other confidential information through the use of internal and external controls, including contractual protections with employees, contractors, customers, and partners. It is our practice to enter into confidentiality, work-for-hire, and/or invention assignment agreements (or similar agreements) with our employees, consultants, and contractors involved in the development of intellectual property on our behalf. We also typically enter into confidentiality agreements with other third parties in order to limit access to, and disclosure and use of, our confidential information and proprietary information. We also place limitations on the use of our proprietary technology and intellectual property through provisions in our terms of service. We intend to consider additional measures to establish and protect our intellectual property rights to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost effective.

**Employees and Human Capital Resources**

As of January 31, 2026, we had a total of 942 full-time employees and 73 part-time employees in the United States and Ireland, the majority of whom are based in our fulfillment centers in New Jersey and Texas. As of January 31, 2026, our technology team consisted of 112 employees, across engineering, data analytics, IT, product, software quality assurance, user experience and design, including a team of 60 in Galway, Ireland, primarily in engineering and data analytics. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or covered by collective bargaining agreements and we have not experienced any work stoppages.

We strive to make Rent the Runway an inclusive and safe workplace, with opportunities for our employees to grow and develop in their careers, supported by competitive compensation and benefits programs. Our culture is underpinned by our Core Values, including that we are all founders of Rent the Runway, and we Dream BIG and go after it, adapt and learn from everything we do and debating, honest conversations and collaborating make the Company stronger.

**Item 1A. RISK FACTORS**

*Certain risks may have a material and/or adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These risks include those described below and may include additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial. These risks should be read in conjunction with the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and "Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations" in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.*

***Risks Related to the Recapitalization Transactions***

***We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Recapitalization Transactions, or those benefits may be short-lived or insufficient for our future needs.***

On October 28, 2025, we completed recapitalization transactions to strengthen our financial position and financial flexibility by significantly reducing our existing indebtedness and adding capital to the business (the "Recapitalization Transactions"). See "Note 3 — Liquidity" and "Note 4 — Recapitalization Transactions" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. We may fail to fully realize the anticipated benefits of the Recapitalization Transactions or such benefits may be short-lived or insufficient for our future needs due to factors within or outside our control. Our ability to continue to grow our business depends, among other things, upon our ability to successfully execute on our business strategies, hire, retain and motivate key talent, obtain financing for our capital needs, scale our systems efficiently and effectively, control costs, comply with our debt covenants, and manage the pressures on our management and administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. If we fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Recapitalization Transactions, or if those benefits are short-lived or insufficient for our future needs, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***In connection with the Recapitalization Transactions, we entered into a new credit agreement, which includes covenants that could restrict our operations or our ability to pursue growth strategies and initiatives, and failure to comply with these covenants could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Upon the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, as borrower, CHS (US) Management LLC, as administrative agent (the "Agent"), and CHS US Investments LLC ("Lender"), Gateway Runway, LLC ("Nexus") and S3 RR Aggregator, LLC, as lenders ("STORY3" and, collectively with Lender and Nexus, the "Investor Group"). The New Credit Agreement amended and restated our prior credit agreement, dated as of July 23, 2018, by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Agent (as successor-in-interest to Double Helix Pte Ltd.) (the "Existing Credit Agreement"). The New Credit Agreement contains negative covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, amend our material agreements, make investments, incur liens, make negative pledges, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Our obligation to comply with such covenants could decrease our operating flexibility and our ability to achieve our operating objectives, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

Further, in the past we have sought waivers and/or concessions from our Lender to ensure our continued compliance with certain covenants under our Existing Credit Agreement, and we may in the future be unable to comply with the covenants under the New Credit Agreement. If we were unable to comply with our covenants and successfully negotiate with the Investor Group for a waiver or dispensation of such covenants under the New Credit Agreement, the Agent would have the right to accelerate repayment of all outstanding obligations under the New Credit Agreement, which would become immediately due and payable, and exercise all other rights and remedies available under the New Credit Agreement. While our Lender has previously granted waivers or entered into amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement to avoid certain events of default, there can be no assurance that the Investor Group will be willing to do so in the future. In addition, the rights of the Investor Group under the New Credit Agreement are transferable and assignable, and any transferee may not be willing to grant such waivers or enter into such amendments, or have interests that align with us and our stockholders. Therefore, any failure to comply with the covenants under the New Credit Agreement and negotiate with the Investor Group could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Failure to manage our Board transition and related changes could materially adversely affect our business.***

To facilitate the Recapitalization Transactions, the Board has been restructured, including new and departing members, changes to the Audit Committee composition, and the designation of Mr. Fonseca as Executive Chair, and this transition may cause temporary uncertainty and disruption. Additionally, the Investor Group has indicated that it is continuing to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify and designate a third Investor Group director to the Board, which could take place in the near future.

The potential uncertainty and disruption resulting from the Board transition and related changes, along with the ongoing efforts to identify a third Investor Group director, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For more information on the Board transition, see "Note 4 — Recapitalization Transactions" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

***Risks Related to Our Business and Industry***

***If we are unable to drive future growth or manage our growth effectively, our brand, Company culture, and financial performance may suffer***.

We must continue to drive revenue growth to be successful. To effectively drive growth, we must continue to enhance customer experience and attract and retain customers (particularly subscribers), invest in rental product, iterate our subscription products, manage the interplay between our various offerings, invest in digital consumer innovation, maintain and expand our brand awareness and marketing, evolve our marketing and product strategies to address emerging machine learning, automated decision-making and artificial intelligence algorithms, models and technologies (collectively, "AI"), including agentic AI, and maintain and upgrade our management information and reverse logistics systems and other processes. Our growth and growth strategies have in the past strained, and could in the future strain, our existing resources, and we could experience ongoing operating difficulties in managing our business across numerous jurisdictions, including difficulties in hiring, training, and managing our broad employee base. Failure to scale and preserve our Company culture as we grow could also harm our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit personnel and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

Our growth strategy is focused on continuing to retain and grow our subscriber and customer base, by continuing to invest in our rental product, offerings and technology to improve her experience, and continuing to drive acquisition through effective and efficient marketing. The majority of our revenue is generated by our subscribers. Our base Subscription plans range in price and customers can customize their Subscription monthly by purchasing additional slots and shipments. Although we often highlight certain Subscription plans over others in an attempt to optimize conversion and highlight opportunities to add shipments and spots to Subscription plans mid-month, we cannot be certain that these actions will be successful. Also, our Subscriptions renew automatically on a monthly basis and subscribers may disable automatic renewal by canceling or pausing their subscription prior to the next month's bill date. As a result, even though a significant number of subscribers have historically renewed their monthly subscription, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain a significant portion of subscribers beyond the existing monthly subscription periods. In addition, any limitation or restriction imposed on our ability to bill our subscribers on a recurring basis, enforce our terms of service, collect data or deliver relevant promotions or media, whether due to new regulations or otherwise, may significantly lower our subscription retention rate. We also offer our customers the option to rent or buy items via our Reserve offering and Resale offering, respectively, which we believe is a strong competitive advantage but adds complexity to our business that we must effectively manage to drive growth. For example, our Resale strategy shifts from time to time to optimize rental product in-stock and revenue by reducing or increasing our units sold via Resale. Further, in fiscal year 2025, we focused on active subscriber growth and experienced weakness in Reserve, which we anticipate will continue in fiscal year 2026 as we plan to revisit our Reserve strategy, plans, and leadership. Our Subscription plans and offerings do not have demonstrably long track records of success and may not grow as much or as fast as we expect. For example, our active subscriber count decreased year-over-year in fiscal year 2024 and, although we are focused on growth initiatives and our active subscriber count increased year-over-year in fiscal year 2025, it may decline in the future. In addition, our number of active subscribers may be higher or lower than the number of our actual individual subscribers, because some active subscribers may have multiple accounts (such as for professional and personal purposes), or some may share their plans with other individuals. Although we anticipate an increase in our year-over-year revenue growth rate in fiscal year 2026, if our growth and/or growth rates do not meet expectations, the perception of our business, financial condition and results of operations by investors and our third-party service providers and brand partners may be adversely affected.

The fashion industry is rapidly evolving and our business may not develop as we expect. Overall growth of our revenue will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change traditional consumer buying habits and normalize clothing subscription, rental and resale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• price and structure our Subscription, Reserve and Resale offerings so that we are able to attract new customers, and retain and expand our relationships with existing customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ensure that we maintain an adequate depth and breadth of available products to meet customer demand and respond swiftly and appropriately to new and changing styles, trends or desired consumer preferences;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accurately forecast our revenue and plan our fulfillment, operating expenses and capital expenditures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide customers with a high-quality, seamless user experience and order fulfillment, as well as customer service and support that meets their needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• acquire customers into varying levels of subscription programs at different price points and promotions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• improve our website and app performance and successfully identify and acquire, partner or invest in products, technologies, or businesses that we believe could complement or expand our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• successfully maintain and grow our relationships with existing and new brand partners, including continuing to leverage and develop our Share by RTR and Exclusive Design offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• avoid disruptions in acquiring and distributing our products and offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• effectively manage our customer acquisition funnel to avoid disruption to our Subscription, Reserve, and Resale offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• be effective and efficient in our marketing, particularly our paid marketing efforts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain and enhance our reputation and the value of our brand;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• keep pace with AI developments such as agentic search for shopping and successfully integrate and leverage AI tools and resources;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• hire, integrate and retain talented personnel across all levels of our organization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• successfully compete with other companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, the industry or the markets in which we operate, and respond to developments from these competitors such as pricing changes and the introduction of new offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• comply with existing and new laws and regulations applicable to our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• successfully expand into new and penetrate existing geographic markets in the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• successfully develop new offerings and innovate and enhance our existing offerings and their features, including in response to new trends, competitive dynamics or the needs of customers and subscribers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• effectively manage growth of our business, personnel, and operations, including expanding our shipping and distribution capabilities and fulfillment center operations, as well as our logistics footprint and the number of facilities we operate in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• effectively manage our costs related to our business and operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• effectively respond to changes in macroeconomic realities, including consumer confidence, inflation, labor markets, tariffs, rising fuel costs, and consolidation or disruption in the retail industry and our individual brand partners; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• avoid or manage interruptions in our business from information technology downtime, global trade policies, cybersecurity or privacy incidents (including those resulting from our use of AI) and other factors that could affect our physical and digital infrastructure.

Because we have a limited history operating our business at its current scale, it is difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. Our limited operating experience at this scale, combined with the rapidly evolving nature of the market in which we sell our offerings, substantial uncertainty concerning how these markets may develop, and other economic factors beyond our control, reduces our ability to accurately forecast quarterly or annual revenue.

Our growth and growth strategies have in the past strained, and could in the future strain, our existing resources, and we could experience ongoing operating difficulties in managing our business across numerous jurisdictions, including difficulties in hiring, training, and managing our broad employee base. Failure to scale and preserve our Company culture as we grow could also harm our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit personnel and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. Failure to manage our future growth effectively could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We also expect to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources to grow our business, and we may fail to allocate our resources in a manner that results in increased revenue growth in our business. Further, our cash position and New Credit Agreement covenants may limit our ability to invest sufficiently in future growth initiatives, including, but not limited to, funding marketing initiatives and procuring rental product. Additionally, we may encounter unforeseen capital or operating expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors that may result in losses in future periods and undermine our profitability goals. If our revenue growth does not meet our expectations in future periods, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be harmed, and we may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

***The global fashion industry is highly competitive and rapidly changing, and we may not be able to compete effectively.***

We compete with other fashion rental companies and also with a range of traditional and online retail and resale fashion companies and we expect competition to continue to increase in the future. To be successful, we need to continue to attract and retain customers and brand partners and maintain and grow brand awareness.

We believe our ability to compete effectively depends on many factors within and beyond our control, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to normalize fashion rental and change traditional retail shopping habits and norms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• how effectively differentiated our brand, offerings, customer experience and value proposition are from those of our competitors;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• how effectively we market and communicate how to use our Subscription, Reserve and Resale offerings, manage the interplay between our offerings, and attract and retain customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to expand and maintain an appealing depth and breadth of our products to meet customer demand and to merchandise it effectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• anticipating and successfully responding to changing apparel trends and consumer shopping preferences, including the use of AI in e-commerce;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• anticipating and successfully responding to changing requirements of digital marketing platforms, including those supporting search and social advertising, and mobile app platforms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the price at which we offer our Subscription, Reserve and Resale offerings and our ability to optimize pricing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount, diversity, and quality of brands that we or our competitors offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to acquire products on favorable and efficient terms, including our ability to attract new brand partners and retain existing brand partners in our Share by RTR and Exclusive Design programs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the speed and cost at which we can deliver products to our customers and the ease with which they can return our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• customer satisfaction with our offering and customer policies and the effectiveness of our customer service;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• further developing our data science capabilities for brand partners;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the strength of our brand, including maintaining favorable brand recognition and effectively marketing our services and value proposition to customers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the success of our reverse-logistics processes in delivering products in good condition to customers.

Many competitors or potential competitors have or may have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, better user experiences, stronger consumer and supplier relationships, less complicated business models, and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources. In addition, they may be able to innovate and provide products and services faster and with more selection than we can, including as a result of their vertical integrations that better enables them to acquire market share. Certain fashion rental competitors have lower priced subscription offerings than we do and/or offer more items per shipment. In addition, competitors and potential competitors may be willing to price their products and services more aggressively in order to gain market share and be able to manufacture goods on a more cost-effective basis because they are vertically integrated, producing higher volumes, and/or have stronger relationships with manufacturing partners. In addition, brands set pricing for their own new retail items, which can include promotional discounts that may adversely affect the relative value of rental and/or resale items offered by us, and, in turn, our revenue, results of operations and financial condition. Additional competitors are expanding and may continue to expand into the rental and resale space in which we operate and we remain vulnerable to the marketing power and high level of customer recognition of these larger competitors and to the risk that these competitors or other smaller entrants could attract our customer base.

Furthermore, although we believe that there are numerous trends in our favor that support the continued growth and success of online fashion rental, changing traditional retail and e-commerce shopping habits is difficult, particularly the shift from an ownership to an access model. Our business model may not achieve acceptance as broadly and within the time frame that we expect by customers and brand partners. In addition, the trends in our favor may evolve and no longer provide compelling support for our business model. If online fashion rental does not achieve broad acceptance by consumers and our brand partners, our growth could be limited and our competitiveness hampered.

Our inability to respond effectively to competitive pressures, improved performance by our competitors, our failure to achieve broad acceptance and changes in the fashion retail markets could result in lost market share and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***We rely on consumer discretionary spending and have been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by economic downturns and other macroeconomic conditions or trends***.

We are subject to variable industry and global economic conditions and their impact on consumer discretionary spending. Some of the factors that may negatively influence consumer spending include high levels of unemployment; recession; higher consumer debt levels; inflation; reductions in net worth, declines in asset values, and related market uncertainty; volatility in the financial markets; volatility in tariff rates and global trade policies; war in the Middle East; home foreclosures and reductions in home values; fluctuating interest rates and credit availability; fluctuating fuel and other energy costs; fluctuating commodity prices; and general uncertainty regarding the overall future political and economic environment. We have experienced many of these factors in the past and have seen negative impacts on customer demand and increases in brand, shipping, and other supplier costs as a result.

In response to the changing business environment and related inflationary pressure, we have implemented pricing increases and expect to do so in the future if our costs continue to increase. Such price increases may include, but are not limited to, higher Subscription fees and/or Reserve rental fees, new or increased shipping fees, or other types of fees or surcharges. Such pricing changes may be negatively perceived by customers, particularly in a period of economic uncertainty, and/or may fail to adequately mitigate cost increases we face, and our business and financial results could be harmed. Furthermore, increases in consumer discretionary spending tend to fluctuate and may decrease, particularly if there is a recession, a weaker jobs market, and/or higher inflation leading to increased price sensitivity. Economic conditions in certain regions may also be affected by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tropical storms, earthquakes, and wildfires; other public health crises; geopolitical conditions, including wars, terrorism and political tensions; and other major unforeseen events. Although we believe the value proposition of our offering and business model may be strengthened in an inflationary environment where the cost of purchasing clothing and accessories increases, consumer purchases or rental of discretionary items, including the products that we offer, frequently decline during recessionary periods or periods of economic uncertainty, when disposable income is reduced or when there is a reduction in consumer confidence.

Additionally, adverse economic changes could reduce consumer confidence, and could thereby negatively affect our operating results. In the event of a prolonged economic downturn, uncertainty, or acute recession, significant inflation, or increased supply chain shortages, consumer spending habits could be adversely affected, and we could experience lower than expected revenue, net income, cash flows and Adjusted EBITDA. In challenging and uncertain economic environments, we cannot predict the degree of uncertainty, whether or when such circumstances may improve or worsen or what impact such circumstances could have on our business. Any of these developments could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Our continued growth depends on our ability to attract new, and retain existing, customers, which may fluctuate based on our level of investment and success in our organic and paid marketing initiatives***. ***If we are unable to cost-effectively grow our customer base, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed*.**

The growth of our business is dependent upon our ability to continue to grow by cost-effectively adding new customers and retaining existing customers. Historically, a substantial portion of new customer acquisition has originated from organic word-of-mouth and other non-paid referrals. Our marketing initiatives are generally focused on re-engaging lapsed and paused customers, retaining existing customers and growing our base of new customers. In addition, we continue to focus on growing traffic and conversion rates by optimizing our organic social media channels, improving our email marketing performance, refreshing our lifecycle marketing engine, increasing paid marketing efficiency, focusing on referrals and other community-driven "word of mouth" strategies, and aiming to optimize discovery via search engine optimization, agentic search, and enhanced iOS App Store presence. These efforts are ongoing and, although we have seen some positive results, they are subject to change and may not result in a sustained increase in customer conversion, loyalty or engagement. In fiscal year 2026 we are planning to allocate a portion of our marketing budget to drive growth through these community-driven "word-of-mouth" channels, which may not meet our expectations and/or adversely impact overall customer acquisitions as we reduce spend in lower-funnel marketing channels. The impact of emerging technologies, including, but not limited to, AI tools such as agentic search, is not yet certain and may increase these risks. See "Our use of AI may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, operational or other challenges." As a result, our levels of paid and organic growth may continue to fluctuate and/or overall growth may decline.

We may determine that more significant investment in marketing will be required in the future. However, in light of cost constraints, we reduced our marketing spend, particularly in paid marketing, in fiscal years 2024 and 2025 (relative to years prior), which resulted in lower customer acquisitions in fiscal year 2024 and led us to invest more heavily in promotions in fiscal year 2025. Our marketing spend levels and prioritization of lower funnel marketing may have also negatively impacted brand awareness despite our efforts to revitalize our brand. In addition, we believe that our overall levels of marketing spend relative to our revenue - both historic and projected for fiscal year 2026 - indicate that we are underinvested in marketing relative to typical market practice for our industry and our competitors and have less channel diversification. Further, although we focus on full funnel marketing, our marketing spend has prioritized, and is expected to continue to prioritize, paid marketing over upper funnel, brand marketing investments, which may have a negative impact on brand awareness and growth. In addition, our marketing efforts may be unsuccessful for various reasons, including a failure to effectively reach potential customers or to be cost-effective (particularly as costs increase for performance marketing), changes in regulations (e.g., privacy, pricing, and auto-renew regulations) or third-party interference that could limit the effectiveness of search engines, social media platforms, and other tools for marketing, and the possibility that potential customers may decide not to rent through our platform or the spend of new customers may not yield the intended return on investment, any of which could negatively affect our results of operations. We also may incur marketing expenses significantly in advance of the time we anticipate recognized revenue associated with such expenses. In addition, the success of our marketing initiatives overall depends upon our marketing team and leadership, which is lean and has experienced transition as we focus on building creative and strategic talent on the team. If our team building efforts or marketing strategies are not successful or are not executed successfully, our growth may decline and we may not achieve our growth and/or profitability goals.

We utilize promotional pricing to attract customers and subscribers who may have heightened price sensitivity and who may not be willing to pay full price for our offering when the promotion period expires. For example, we have observed that subscribers who receive steep discounts have higher rates of cancellation. Our promotional and pricing strategy changes regularly and is subject to experimentation. In fiscal year 2025, we increased our use of promotional pricing to drive growth in customer acquisitions, and we expect that we will continue to adjust our promotional policies in response to our business objectives and market conditions. Our business performance may be adversely impacted if our promotional strategy is not effective at attracting and retaining customers.

Further, customer preferences may change and customers may not rent through our platform as frequently or spend as much with us. Customers may also react negatively to policy changes that we make from time to time, such as more stringent late fees or pricing increases, which could cause them to cancel their subscriptions. We strive to drive conversion of new subscribers from current and former customers; however, if their behavior changes or they are not satisfied with our offering for any reason, our ability to grow subscribers may be impacted. If we are not able to continue to expand our customer base through cost-effective methods, we may not meet our revenue and profitability goals, our revenue may grow slower than expected or decline, and investors may lose confidence in our business. Relatedly, an inability to attract and retain customers could harm our ability to attract and retain brand partners, who may decide to partner with alternative platforms.

***If we fail to retain customers, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be harmed***.

A high proportion of our revenue comes from longer-tenured subscribers. A decrease in the number of customers, their tenures with us, and/or a reduction in the amount customers spend on our offerings could negatively affect our operating results.

Our number of customers and the amounts they spend on our offerings may decline materially or fluctuate as a result of many factors, including, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the quality, consumer appeal, price, and reliability of our offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• dissatisfaction with changes we make to our offerings and products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to keep pace with new and emerging technologies, such as AI tools for shopping and styling;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the perceived value of our offerings, especially in response to price increases and changes in the macroeconomic environment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to quality control the products delivered to our customers and their fit;

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ensuring on-time delivery of orders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ease with which customers can find items they are looking for, including the effectiveness of our search and discovery tools, merchandising, and rental product availability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the performance of our website and mobile app, including reliability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the level of our investment in marketing and the success of our marketing strategies and tactics, including changes in efficiency of our historic or current customer acquisition and retention methods;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a negative customer service experience;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• intense competition in the fashion industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• negative publicity that impacts our brand and reputation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in consumer preferences regarding the use of pre-loved apparel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lack of market acceptance of our business model;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a future outbreak of disease or public health concern, such as COVID-19; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the failure (or perceived failure) to meet different and sometimes conflicting stakeholder expectations regarding our environmental, social and governance ("ESG") initiatives.

If existing customers no longer find our offerings and products appealing, appropriately priced or easy to use, or if we are unable to provide high-quality support to customers to help them resolve issues in a timely and acceptable manner, they may stop using our offerings, we may experience negative publicity and word-of-mouth and other referrals may be hampered. For example, we implemented a price increase for our subscription plans and began enforcing a more stringent late fee policy in fiscal year 2025 and anticipate that we will likely increase prices again in the future. If our customers no longer perceive our Subscription plans as appropriately priced and cancel or pause their subscriptions, our business and financial results could be harmed. We are focused on investing in the customer experience and delivering greater value to her, including by nearly doubling our rental product selection in fiscal year 2025 and maintaining these levels in fiscal year 2026, and emphasizing the value proposition of our offering in our marketing materials, among other initiatives; however these or other initiatives to retain customers may not be successful at improving customer satisfaction, subscriber retention and/or revenues and may require additional costs or lead to unanticipated consequences. For example, we may offer discounts to retain subscribers who have heightened price sensitivity and who may not be willing to continue to pay full price for a Subscription. Reductions or changes to when and under what circumstances such Subscription discounts are offered may impact retention. Even if our existing customers continue to find our offerings and products appealing and our customer service satisfactory, they may decide to downgrade to a less frequent, lower cost subscription and/or rent fewer items due to price sensitivity and/or changing demand or other reasons. If customers downgrade their subscriptions or make fewer or lower priced rentals, our financial results could be negatively affected.

***We have a history of losses, and we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability***.

We had a net income (loss) of $22.6 million and $(69.9) million for the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and have in the past had net losses. We reported net income for the year ended January 31, 2026 due to the recognition of a Gain on Debt Restructuring of $96.3 million. As of January 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $(1,100.4) million. Further, for a variety of reasons, it is difficult for us to predict our future operating results. We will need to generate and sustain increased revenue and manage our costs to achieve profitability. Even if we do, we may not be able to sustain or increase our profitability.

Our ability to generate profit depends on our ability to grow customers and revenue and drive operational efficiencies in our business to generate better margins. In recent years, we have taken significant steps to reduce our operating costs, improve our margins, and make progress towards profitability. Fiscal year 2025 was a year of investment as we significantly increased the amount of new rental product we acquired and, therefore, increased our net losses year-over-year, excluding the Gain on Debt Restructuring discussed above. We may also continue to generate net losses in order to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fulfill customer orders and provide customer service;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase the engagement, enhance retention and improve the experience, of customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• drive customer acquisition and brand awareness through marketing and promotional initiatives;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• invest in technology, including to enhance our website and mobile offerings and functionality;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• attract, motivate and retain our employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enhance our current offerings and develop new offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• generally support a larger customer base; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• invest in our operations, including our logistics fulfillment, capacity and footprint, and other capital expenditures to support the growth in our business.

We may discover unanticipated costs or that these initiatives are more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset these expenses or realize the operating efficiencies and profitability we anticipate. We also expect to face greater compliance costs over time associated with the increased scope of our business and being a public company. If we are not able to adequately increase revenue or manage operating costs for reasons within or outside of our control, we may continue to incur net losses and not be able to achieve or sustain profitability in the near term or at all. If we are unable to achieve or sustain profitability, the value of our business and the trading price of our Class A common stock may be negatively impacted.

***If we fail to anticipate and respond successfully to new and changing fashion trends and consumer preferences and accurately forecast consumer demand, our business could be harmed***.

Our success is, in large part, dependent upon our ability to identify fashion trends, predict and gauge the tastes of our customers, and provide availability of items and a service that satisfies customer demand in a timely manner. However, lead times for many of our purchasing and design decisions may make it difficult for us to respond rapidly to new or changing apparel trends or customer acceptance of products chosen by us. We generally enter into contracts with our designer brand partners in advance of anticipated rentals and typically before apparel trends are confirmed by customer rentals.

We have not always predicted our customers' preferences and acceptance levels of our products with accuracy. We may misjudge demand and over or under purchase rental product. In addition, external events may disrupt or change customer preferences and behaviors in ways we are not able to anticipate. Lower availability, including depth and breadth levels, has negatively impacted active subscriber retention in the past. Although we are focused on ensuring that there are adequate quantities of rental product on our site and aim to acquire approximately the same quantity of rental product year-over-year in fiscal year 2026, we expect that new rental product levels will fluctuate quarterly due to the timing of our purchases, seasonality and other factors within or outside of our control, which may negatively impact customer retention and, therefore, revenue. Any future decreases in our rental product availability levels or perceived availability levels, including in connection with other business objectives, may negatively impact active subscribers.

Additionally, our success is dependent on the ability of our brand partners to anticipate, identify and respond to the latest fashion trends and consumer demands and to translate such trends and demands into product options in a timely manner. The failure of our brand partners to anticipate, identify or respond swiftly and appropriately to new and changing styles, trends or desired consumer preferences, to accurately anticipate and forecast demand for certain product offerings or to provide relevant and timely product offerings to rent on our platform may lead to lower demand for our offerings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Further, although we use our data and business insights to predict our customers' preferences and gauge demand for our products, there is no guarantee that our data and business insights will accurately anticipate demand. As has occurred in the past, if our teams do not predict customer demand and tastes well or if our algorithms do not help us reorder the right products or write off the right products in a timely manner, we may not effectively attract and retain customers or manage our products and our operating results will be adversely affected.

***Shipping and logistics are a critical part of our business and our supply chain and any changes or interruptions in shipping or logistics operations could adversely affect our operating results***.

We currently primarily rely on a national carrier for our outbound and inbound logistics. However, we continue to maintain relationships with tier two and tier three carriers in order to provide redundancies and manage potential shipping disruptions from time to time. While we have confidence in our current strategy, we cannot predict changes in market conditions or how primarily relying on a single national carrier may impact customer sentiment and satisfaction, which could lead to unanticipated costs and/or have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Additionally, our business relies on the successful management of reverse logistics needed to ingest, clean, and restock returned items quickly and efficiently in order to offer them for rental or resale to other customers. If we are not able to maintain appropriate staffing levels or negotiate acceptable pricing and other terms with third-party vendors or they experience performance problems or other difficulties, our operating results and customers' experience could be negatively impacted.

Our ability to receive inbound products efficiently and ship products to and from customers may be negatively affected by many events outside of our control, including inclement weather, public health crises, governmental regulations, labor disputes and other factors. We are also subject to risks of damage or loss during delivery by our shipping vendors. Customers who do not receive their orders in good condition or on time, or perceive our shipping promise as too slow, often become dissatisfied and even cease using our services, which may adversely affect our business and operating results if the issues become persistent or impact a significant amount of customers. Our shipping vendors have faced and may continue to face increased volumes which, in turn, has caused and could in the future cause a decrease in their service levels, including shipping delays, or result in an increase in their prices. We have experienced increased shipping costs in recent years, and these costs are expected to increase in the future, particularly in light of the current macroeconomic landscape and global conflicts. In addition, although we have achieved efficiencies in our supply chain operations in recent years, these efficiencies may not be sustainable or meet our broader business objectives. Increases in shipping costs, in particular for our primary shipping vendor, are likely to result in increased costs to us and adversely impact our business. In addition, significant shipping difficulties or disruptions or any failure by our brand partners or third-party carriers to deliver high-quality products to us or to our customers, as applicable, in a timely manner or to otherwise adequately serve our customers could damage our reputation and brand and may substantially harm our business.

In addition to offering the ability to return products by dropping off items with our primary third-party shipping vendor, we offer at-home pickup for customers located in multiple markets. In the event that we do not successfully and cost-effectively manage at-home pickup logistics, it may make it more difficult for us to satisfy our customers and efficiently manage shipping costs, which could negatively affect our brand, financial condition and results of operations.

***If we are unable to acquire and manage our products effectively and plan for future expenses, our operating results could be adversely affected.***

We are vulnerable to demand and pricing shifts and to suboptimal selection and timing of rental product purchases. We obtain substantially all of our products directly from hundreds of brand partners through three key ways: 1) Wholesale, 2) Share by RTR, and 3) Exclusive Designs. For our business to be successful and have sufficient product to meet consumer demand, our brand and manufacturing partners must be willing and able to provide us with products in specific quantities and styles of sufficient quality, in compliance with regulatory requirements, at acceptable costs and payment schedules and on a timely basis. We typically do not enter into long-term contracts with our brand and manufacturing partners and, as such, we operate without significant contractual assurances of continued supply, pricing or access to products. Brand partners have discontinued working with us in the past and a brand partner could choose to no longer work with us or provide less favorable terms for a variety of reasons in the future, including operating, financial, market and supply chain conditions or other factors within and outside of our control. In addition, some of our brand partners may not have the capacity to supply us with sufficient products to keep pace with our growth plans, especially if we plan to demand significantly greater amounts of products. In such cases, our ability to pursue our growth strategy will depend in part upon our ability to expand capacity with existing brand partners or develop new brand partner relationships.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

We have been focused on expanding our relationships with brand partners and continuing to develop our Exclusive Designs and Share by RTR arrangements, which are our more capital-efficient ways of acquiring rental product, particularly in light of our 2025 and 2026 rental product strategy. For our Exclusive Designs, RTR traditionally has sourced the materials and relied upon third-party manufacturing partners to produce products; however, we have updated our Exclusive Designs model and, starting in fiscal year 2025, certain brands source and manufacture the products themselves, which are exclusively available on our site for a period of time. This new Exclusive Designs approach is similar to the approach for Wholesale and Share by RTR items, for which we enter into contracts in advance of a particular season and brand partners frequently agree to incur costs related to sourcing and manufacturing products before we have paid for them, which requires the brand partners to continue to trust us. If we were viewed as less financially viable by our brand partners and/or their financing partners or factoring companies, we may receive less favorable terms and conditions from our brand partners, including requiring more upfront payments or other demonstrations of credit. The cash flow benefits we currently experience from our brand partners' willingness to revenue share could be adversely affected if revenue share terms change or if brand partners no longer wish to revenue share due to lack of trust in us, lack of revenue earned in comparison to the projections we provided, or their inability to continue to spread their earnings out over the time period that the products are earning revenue on our website, among other reasons. For our Exclusive Design arrangements, we must continue to increase the number of brand partners with whom we work, design an assortment of styles that meet customer demand, maintain and enhance our third-party manufacturing capabilities and partner relationships and ensure the products manufactured meets brand partners', customers' and our quality standards. Our ability to obtain a sufficient selection or volume of products on a timely basis at competitive prices could suffer as a result of any deterioration or change in our partner relationships or events that adversely affect them and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We also procure and manufacture products outside of the United States. Global sourcing and foreign trade involve numerous factors and uncertainties beyond our control including increased shipping costs, increased or changing tariffs, limitations in factory capacity, the imposition of additional import or trade restrictions, including legal or economic restrictions on overseas brand partners' or manufacturers' ability to produce and deliver products, increased custom duties and tariffs, unforeseen delays in customs, more restrictive quotas, loss of a most favored nation trading status, currency exchange rates, transportation delays, foreign government regulations, political instability and conflict, such as the war between Russia and Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East, and economic uncertainties in the countries from which we or our brand partners source our products. Future extended disruptions in travel may limit our ability to source products in-person, which may lead to suboptimal products and harm our business. For the next several quarters, we anticipate facing, and having to address challenges relating to, economic uncertainty and trends that may also impact our business operations, including transportation efficiencies. Additionally, oil supply disruptions related to the war between Russia and Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East have in the past led to, and are likely to continue to lead to, increased fuel and, therefore, shipping prices. Further, certain trade restrictions related to the Xinjiang region of China that impose a ban on virtually all imports from that region could affect the sourcing and availability of raw materials, such as cotton, used in the manufacturing of certain products and lead to our products and materials and those of our brand and/or manufacturing partners being held for inspection by the United States Customs & Border Patrol and delayed or rejected for entry, which could adversely impact the customer experience and our business. In addition, negative press or consumer sentiment about internationally sourced products may lead to reduced demand for our products. These and other issues affecting our international brand partners, manufacturers or internationally sourced products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Furthermore, we must execute our cleaning and repair protocols and reverse logistics operations efficiently and at a significant scale to maximize the utilization of units and help ensure adequate availability levels the failure of which may adversely affect our operating results. We cannot control products while they are out of our possession or prevent all damage while in our fulfillment centers, during shipping, or while with customers, third-party suppliers or partners. We are focused on enhancing our automation and quality control processes to ensure that we are appropriately managing our rental product; however, we may deactivate rental product prematurely, which could reduce availability to our customers, or we may deactivate rental product too slowly, which could increase costs and harm our reputation if customers and potential customers believe that our products are not of high quality or may be damaged.

***If we fail to maintain and enhance our brand, our ability to attract and retain customers will be impaired and our business, financial condition, and results of operations may suffer***.

Maintaining and enhancing our appeal and reputation as a stylish, revolutionary and trusted brand is critical to attracting and retaining customers and brand partners. The successful promotion of our brand and awareness of our offerings and products depends on a number of factors, including our marketing efforts, ability to continue to develop our offerings and products, the quality and appeal of our products, and ability to successfully differentiate our offerings from competitive offerings. We expect to invest resources to promote and maintain our brand; however we believe that we are underinvested in brand marketing and channel diversification relative to typical market practice and our competitors (as discussed elsewhere in these risk factors). Further, although we focus on full funnel marketing, our marketing spend has prioritized, and is expected to continue to prioritize, paid marketing over upper funnel, brand marketing investments, which may negatively impact our brand awareness and growth. Further, there is no guarantee that our brand development strategies will enhance the recognition of our brand or lead to increased customer acquisition and sales. The strength of our brand depends largely on our ability to provide a compelling customer value proposition for our rental and resale offerings and continued customer engagement and word of mouth organic marketing. Our efforts to improve our customer experience may not be successful. In addition, brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue, and even if they do, the increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in promoting and maintaining our brand and reputation.

Furthermore, whether accurate or not, negative publicity about our business, operations, leadership or employees, and customer complaints have in the past, and could in the future, harm our reputation, customer trust and referrals of our services, brand partner confidence, vendor confidence, employee morale and culture, and our ability to recruit new employees effectively. In addition, negative publicity related to our brand partners, influencers and other vendors that we have partnered with may damage our reputation, even if the publicity is not directly related to us. Negative commentary concerning us or our brand partners may also be posted on social media platforms at any time and may have an adverse impact on our brand, reputation and business. The harm of negative publicity, particularly on social media platforms, may be immediate, without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction.

If we fail to maintain, protect, and enhance our brand successfully or to maintain and grow loyalty among customers, or if we incur substantial expenses in unsuccessful attempts to maintain, protect, and enhance our brand, we may fail to attract or increase the engagement of customers, and our business, financial condition, and operating results may suffer.

***If we are not able to continue to improve our website and mobile app performance, keep pace with technological changes or consumer expectations, enhance our current offerings, and develop new offerings in a timely way to respond to the changing needs of partners and customers, our business, financial performance, and growth may be harmed***.

Our industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology, new service and product introductions, and changing customer demands and preferences, and we are not able to predict the effect of these changes on our business. In addition, we believe that our future success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate and respond effectively to new technology disruption and developments and keep pace more generally with technological changes and trends. These include new software applications or related services based on AI, including agentic search and machine learning, augmented reality, or robotics or more generally evolving trends in e-commerce. For example, we continue to focus on improving the performance and design of our website and mobile application for our customers, including by leveraging AI tools and resources and increased personalization; however, our efforts may be unsuccessful. The technologies that we currently use to support our business platform are highly interconnected and complex (as discussed elsewhere in these risk factors) and may become inadequate or obsolete, and the cost of incorporating new technologies into our offerings and services may be substantial. In addition, any failure by us to adequately integrate technological developments in our approach to data management could harm our ability to leverage data, including customer data, collected through our technology and our systems, which could have a negative effect on our business. If we are unable to adequately utilize our data in support of our operations due to technical or other limitations, our ability to drive leverage in operational efficiencies and to attract new customers and retain existing customers could be impaired. In addition, if we are unable to successfully leverage new technology to automate and otherwise enhance and drive efficiencies in our operations, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed. For risks related to our adoption and use of AI, see "Our use of AI may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, operational or other challenges."

Our partners and customers may not be satisfied with our technological or other platform enhancements or new offerings or may perceive that these offerings do not respond to their needs or create value for them. Our customers may also be dissatisfied with the product mix we currently offer or will offer in the future.

Additionally, as we invest in and experiment with new offerings or changes to our platform, our partners and customers may find these changes to be disruptive and may perceive them negatively. For example, we are focused on increasing personalization and introducing AI styling tools for our customers. We have also recently launched a pilot of a marketplace offering designed to sell customers complementary products, such as clothing basics, shapewear and shoes, that are not available on our core platform. These new offerings and updates do not have demonstrably long track records of success for us and could result in higher costs, increased liability, not meet our expectations and goals, be a distraction from our core business goals, dilute our brand, and/or have other unforeseen impacts on the business. In addition, developing new offerings and services is complex, and the timetable for their public launch is difficult to predict and may vary from our expectations. As a result, the introduction of new offerings may occur after anticipated release dates, or they may be introduced as pilot programs, which may not be continued for various reasons. In addition, new offerings may not be successful due to defects or errors, negative publicity, or our failure to market them effectively. New offerings may not drive revenue growth, customer acquisition or retention, may require substantial investment and planning, and may bring us more directly into competition with companies that are better established or have greater resources than we do. If we do not continue to cost-effectively develop new offerings that satisfy our brand partners and customers, then our competitive position and growth prospects may be harmed. In addition, changes to subscription plans or new offerings may have lower margins than we anticipate or than existing offerings, and our revenue from new offerings may not be enough to offset the cost of developing and maintaining them, which could adversely affect our business, financial performance, and growth. Finally, the success of our technology and product initiatives overall depends upon our engineering and product teams and leadership, which have experienced recent transition and may continue to experience transition in the future. If our team building efforts or engineering and product strategies and plans are not successful or are not executed successfully, our growth may decline and we may not achieve our profitability goals.

***Our use of AI may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, operational or other challenges.***

In addition, regulation of AI is rapidly evolving worldwide as legislators and regulators are increasingly focused on this emerging technology. The technologies underlying AI and its uses are already subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including intellectual property, data privacy, data security, data protection, consumer protection, competition and equal opportunity laws and regulations, and are expected to be subject to increased regulation and new laws or new applications of existing laws and regulations. AI is the subject of ongoing review by various U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies, and various U.S. states and other foreign jurisdictions are applying, or are considering applying, their platform moderation and data privacy, data security, data protection and consumer protection laws and regulations to AI or are considering general legal frameworks for AI. It is possible that we will not be able to anticipate how to respond to these rapidly evolving frameworks, and we could be required to expend resources to adjust our offerings in certain jurisdictions if the legal frameworks are inconsistent across jurisdictions. Furthermore, because AI technology itself is highly complex and rapidly developing, it is not possible to predict all of the legal, operational or technological risks that may arise relating to the use of AI.

***We rely heavily on the effective operation of our proprietary technology systems and software, as well as those of our third-party vendors and service providers, for our business to effectively operate and to safeguard confidential information.***

We rely heavily on the Internet, computer systems, hardware, in-house proprietary technology, third-party software and infrastructure, and customized off-the-shelf technology solutions across our business (collectively, our "IT Systems"). We own and manage some of these IT Systems but also rely on third parties for a range of IT Systems and related products and services. Our ability to effectively manage all areas of our business, particularly our product management, fulfillment operations, and financial systems, depends significantly on the reliability and capacity of these IT Systems. We are critically dependent on the integrity, connectivity, security and consistent operations of our IT Systems, which are highly dependent on coordination of our internal business, operations, product and engineering teams. For example, in September 2019, we experienced a software outage at our Secaucus, New Jersey facility, during which we were unable to fulfill thousands of Reserve and Subscription orders on a timely basis and made the decision to stop taking new orders until the issue was adequately resolved. We also experienced significant negative customer reviews and negative press as a result of the outage, which we believe damaged our customer relationships, reputation and brand. The outage also resulted in substantial financial losses and increased costs largely due to: lost revenues, customer refunds, credits, promotions and/or related payments, and incremental labor and shipping costs. Our insurance policy covered a substantial portion of these losses but not all of them. While we have taken remediation measures in response to the outage, additional outages or other disruptions have occurred from time to time and are likely to occur in the future, which could harm our ability to meet customer expectations, fulfill orders, manage our products, and achieve our objectives for operating efficiencies and profitability.

The technology underlying our platform is highly interconnected and complex, and we detect bugs, errors, and vulnerabilities from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Because of the complexity of our technology, it is likely to contain additional undetected bugs, errors or vulnerabilities, some of which may have a material adverse effect on our business or operations. We are unable to comprehensively apply patches or confirm that measures are in place to mitigate all such vulnerabilities, or that patches will be applied before vulnerabilities are exploited by a threat actor. Moreover, due to the interconnected nature of our IT Systems, updates to parts of our code (including for product launches), third-party code, and application programming interfaces, on which we rely and that maintain the functionality of our IT Systems, are often very complex and could have an unintended impact on other sections of our code, which may result in errors or vulnerabilities to our platform and/or launch delays that negatively impact the customer experience and functionality of our offerings. Our use of AI-assisted coding may increase the potential for errors or vulnerabilities in our code base. In some cases, such as our mobile application, certain errors are only able to be correctable through updates distributed through slower, third-party mechanisms, such as app stores, and may need to comply with third-party policies and procedures to be made available, which may add additional delays due to app review and customer delay in updating their mobile apps. In addition, our IT Systems and business operations are increasingly reliant on AI systems and technologies, which are complex, expected to pose new or unknown cybersecurity risks and challenges, and may have errors or inadequacies that are not easily detectable. As discussed elsewhere in these risk factors, these systems and technologies may inadvertently reduce the efficiency of our IT Systems or may cause unintentional or unexpected outputs that are incorrect, do not match our business goals, do not comply with our policies, or otherwise are inconsistent with our brand, guiding principles and mission. Any errors or vulnerabilities discovered in our code or IT Systems generally could also result in damage to our reputation, loss of our customers, unauthorized disclosure of personal and confidential information, loss of revenue or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our growth prospects and our business.

***Any significant technology disruption or failure, cyberattack or data security incident could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operations***.

Our ability to effectively manage our business, particularly our product management, order and fulfillment operations, and financial systems, depends significantly on the reliability and capacity of the Internet and our IT Systems. We also collect, process and store sensitive and confidential information, including our proprietary business information and information regarding our customers, employees, suppliers and business partners, including personally identifiable information (collectively, "Confidential Information"). The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of Confidential Information is critical to our operations. Our IT Systems and those of our service providers and business partners may be subject to damage or interruption from power outages or damages, telecommunications problems, data corruption, software errors, network failures, acts of war or terrorist attacks, fire, flood and natural disasters. Our existing safety systems, data backup, access protection, user management and information technology emergency planning may not be sufficient to identify, detect, prevent, or recover from data corruption or loss or long-term network or operational outages or to keep pace with rapidly developing technologies, such as AI. In addition, we upgrade our existing IT Systems and incorporate new technology systems from time to time in order for such systems to support the needs of our business. Costs and potential problems and interruptions associated with the implementation of new or upgraded systems and technology or with maintenance or adequate support of existing systems could disrupt or reduce the efficiency of our operations. In addition, our failure to implement upgrades to our IT Systems or maintain operational controls for data protection, retention, or deletion, whether due to cost savings, resource constraints, a failure to identify the need or other reasons, could negatively impact our business.

Additionally, despite various security measures that have been implemented, our IT Systems and those of our third-party service providers and business partners as well as the Confidential Information stored thereon are vulnerable to numerous and rapidly evolving cybersecurity risks that threaten their confidentiality, integrity and availability, including security incidents, technology developments (including, but not limited to, AI developments), attacks by a variety of threat actors (including hackers, hacktivists, and state-sponsored organizations), acts of vandalism, malware, social engineering, denial or degradation of service attacks, computer viruses, software bugs or vulnerabilities, supply chain attacks, phishing attacks, ransomware attacks, credential stuffing attacks, misplaced or lost data, human errors, malicious insiders, inadvertent disclosures or other similar events. Notably, AI technologies have introduced new and complex cybersecurity risks, including, but not limited to, more sophisticated AI-powered phishing campaigns and the potential for novel attack vectors using AI, which presents a significant challenge for the Company and our third-party providers and business partners. If unauthorized parties gain access to our Confidential Information, IT Systems or other information, or those of our third-party service providers or business partners, they may be able to steal, publish, sell, delete, use inappropriately or modify private and sensitive information, including credit card information and personally identifiable information or proprietary business information, any or all of which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In particular, ransomware attacks, including those from organized criminal threat actors, nation-states and nation-state supported actors, are becoming increasingly prevalent and can lead to significant interruptions, delays, or outages in our operations, loss of data, loss of income, significant extra expenses to restore data or systems, reputational loss and the diversion of funds. To alleviate the financial, operational and reputational impact of a ransomware attack, it may be necessary to make extortion payments, but we may be unable to do so if applicable laws or governmental pressure prohibit or prevent such payments. We are also a frequent target of credential stuffing and account takeover attacks: for example, where email addresses and passwords involved in security incidents reported by other companies are used to attempt to gain unauthorized access to our platform or IT Systems. In addition, employees may intentionally or inadvertently cause data or security incidents that result in unauthorized release of personal information or other Confidential Information. Further, Company-issued laptops or other devices have been, and may in the future be, lost, stolen, or infected with malware. Because the techniques and tools (including AI) used to circumvent security systems change frequently, are becoming increasingly sophisticated, are designed to evade detection and remove forensic evidence, are often not recognized until launched against a target and may originate from less regulated and remote areas around the world, we may be unable to timely or effectively anticipate, detect or recover from cyberattacks or security incidents in the future. There can also be no assurance that our cybersecurity risk management program and processes, including our policies, controls or procedures, will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting our Confidential Information and IT Systems. For example, as further described later in these risk factors, we have identified material weaknesses in certain controls related to our IT Systems.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

Certain of the aforementioned types of cyberattacks and security incidents have occurred in the past to us and our third-party providers, and may occur in the future, resulting in unauthorized, unlawful, or inappropriate access to, inability to access, disclosure of, or loss of Confidential Information. For example, although no sensitive information was affected, our platform has been the subject of phishing attempts, credential stuffing attacks and brute force attacks (i.e., attempts to try different username and password credentials to gain access to our platform), and other account takeover tactics. The security measures we employ to prevent, detect, and mitigate unauthorized use of user credentials and potential harm to our users from the theft of or misuse of user credentials on our network (including, but not limited to, our ability to keep pace with evolving AI threats) may not be, and have not always been, effective in every instance.

We also rely on a number of third-party providers of products and services to operate our critical internal and external operations, such as the processing of personal information and other Confidential Information. Examples of third parties include, but are not limited to, our contracted customer service provider, shipping partners, human resources information system, payment processor, data warehouses, and various IT Systems providers. Because we do not control these service providers and our ability to monitor their security measures is limited, these service providers may not have adequate security measures and could experience a security incident that compromises the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the IT Systems they operate for us or the Confidential Information they process on our behalf and may not be able to contain or recover from such incidents or to notify us in a timely manner. Due to applicable laws and regulations or contractual obligations, we may be held responsible for such incidents as they relate to the information we share with them. Moreover, we or our third-party service providers may be more vulnerable to such attacks in remote or hybrid work environments or when operating internationally. Any cyberattack, security incident, or material disruption or slowdown affecting our Confidential Information or IT Systems or those of our third-party service providers or business partners, could result in actual or alleged breaches of applicable laws or our contractual obligations, costly investigations and litigation (including class action lawsuits), civil or criminal penalties, operational changes or other response measures, restoration and remediation costs, loss of consumer confidence in our security measures, negative publicity, and/or reputational harm, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

While we maintain cyber insurance that may help provide coverage for these types of events, we cannot provide assurances that our insurance will be adequate to cover costs and liabilities related to these incidents or that applicable insurance will be available to us in the future on economically reasonable terms or at all.

***Our e-commerce business faces distinct risks, such as fulfillment of orders, and our failure to successfully manage these risks could have a negative impact on our profitability.***

As an e-commerce business, we encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by businesses with significant internet operations. The successful operation of our business as well as our ability to provide a positive customer experience that will generate Subscription, Reserve and Resale orders depend on efficient and uninterrupted e-commerce order-taking and fulfillment operations. If we are unable to allow real-time and accurate visibility to product availability when customers are ready to order, quickly and efficiently fulfill our customers' orders using the fulfillment and payment methods they demand, provide a convenient and consistent experience for our customers regardless of the ultimate channel or effectively manage our online sales, our ability to compete and our results of operations could be adversely affected. We have two fulfillment centers in Arlington, Texas and Secaucus, New Jersey that we depend on for our fulfillment operations. We currently lease these facilities. Although we renewed our lease in Secaucus, NJ in 2023, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to renew or negotiate new or renewed leases in the future at this location or in Texas on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to secure such leases, or if we can only secure such leases on economic terms that are less than optimal for us, it may materially adversely impact our results of operations.

Risks associated with our e-commerce business include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to provide a delightful and effective search and discovery experience for our customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our failure to successfully execute planned enhancements to our website and mobile application performance in order to keep pace with industry standards and meet customer expectations, including with respect to the implementation of AI tools and resources;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• uncertainties associated with our website and mobile application, including changes in required technology interfaces, website downtime and other technical failures, anticipated or unanticipated costs and technical issues, our ability to upgrade systems software successfully, inadequate system capacity, computer viruses, human error, and/or security incidents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disruptions in internet service or power outages;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reliance on third parties for computer hardware and software, as well as delivery of products to our customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• rapid technology changes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• credit or debit card fraud and other payment processing related issues;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in applicable federal, state and international regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• legal claims related to our e-commerce operations and fulfillment, including liability for online content;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cybersecurity, consumer privacy and consumer protection concerns and regulation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• natural disasters or adverse weather conditions.

Our online offerings also expose us to broader applicability of regulations, as well as additional regulations, such as the rules relating to registration of internet sellers, certain anti-money laundering, trade sanction, anti-corruption, anti-bribery and international trade laws. Problems in any of these areas could result in a reduction in sales, increased costs, sanctions or penalties and damage to our reputation and brands.

We rely on third parties to support our business, including, among other things, portions of our technology development and support and certain payment processing services. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, adverse changes to the terms of our agreements with vendors and other commercial partners based on perception of our creditworthiness. If we are viewed as less financially viable by third-party providers, including as a result of our Nasdaq listing compliance and status, we may receive less favorable terms and conditions, including requiring upfront payments or other demonstrations of credit.

In addition, we must keep up to date with competitive technology trends, including the use of new or improved technology, checkout and payment options, creative user interfaces, virtual and augmented reality, AI, and other e-commerce marketing tools such as paid search and mobile applications, among others, which may increase our costs and which may not increase sales or attract customers. Our competitors, some of whom have greater resources than we do, may also be able to benefit from changes in e-commerce technologies or adapt better than us, which could harm our competitive position.

***Our quarterly and annual results of operations may fluctuate, which may make it difficult to predict our future performance***.

Our results of operations could vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year because of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Even if our revenue increases, our revenue growth rates may decline in the future as a result of a variety of factors, including macroeconomic factors, increased competition, and the maturation of our business. As a result, comparing our results of operations on a period-to-period basis or our revenue growth rate for any prior period may not be meaningful. In addition to other risk factors discussed in this Annual Report, factors that may contribute to the variability of our quarterly and annual results include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our success in attracting and retaining customers and subscribers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining successful relationships with brand partners and our ability to acquire products at acceptable prices and offer a compelling mix of products that are available for Subscription, Reserve or Resale at any given time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount and timing of our fulfillment costs, operating expenses and capital expenditures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing and success of product launches, including pricing changes, new services and features we may introduce;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the success of our marketing and promotional efforts;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse economic and market conditions and other adverse global events that negatively impact commerce and consumer behavior and that could lead to inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disruptions or defects in our software or operations, such as privacy or data security incidents, outages, or other incidents that impact the availability, reliability, or performance of our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of competitive developments and our response to those developments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to manage our business and future growth;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to recruit and retain employees including fulfillment center labor to process, itemize, list, pack and ship our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the seasonality of our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• litigation matters and demands that may be costly to manage or that have a negative impact on our reputation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes to financial accounting standards and the interpretation of those standards, which may affect the way we recognize and report our financial results.

The impact of one or more of the foregoing and other factors may cause our results of operations to vary significantly. As such, period-over-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Fluctuations in our operating results and key metrics may cause our results to fall below our financial guidance or other projections, or the expectations of analysts or investors, which could cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline.

Fluctuations in our results could also cause a number of other problems. For example, analysts or investors might change their models for valuing our Class A common stock, we could experience liquidity issues, our ability to retain or attract key personnel may diminish, and other unanticipated issues may arise. We believe that our operating results and key metrics may vary in the future and that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. For example, our overall historical growth rate and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may have overshadowed the effect of seasonal variations on our historical operating results. These seasonal effects may become more pronounced over time, which could also cause our operating results and key metrics to fluctuate.

***We face risks arising from cost-cutting and restructuring of our operations, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or business reputation.***

We have taken and plan to continue to take actions intended to drive efficiencies and maintain a cost structure that aligns with our business and financial objectives. For example, in September 2022 and January 2024, we announced significant restructuring plans intended to reduce costs, streamline our organizational structure and drive operational efficiencies and growth. We have also taken smaller actions with similar goals in mind, such as off-shoring over a majority of our customer service operations in fiscal years 2025 and 2026 and eliminating our customer service styling program in fiscal year 2025. These plans or other future restructuring plans, including as a result of leveraging AI efficiencies, present significant risks that could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, or business reputation. Such risks include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the failure to achieve targeted cost savings and efficiency, and growth, cash flow and profitability goals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease in employee morale, a negative impact to our corporate culture, and heightened regrettable attrition, including by critical employees, each of which we've observed to some extent and are focused on addressing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in employment claims;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual or perceived disruption of service or reduction in service standards to customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the loss of institutional knowledge and/or employee expertise, which could lead to inefficiencies or business disruptions, some of which may be significant and our efforts to address may not be successful; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the delay or failure to meet our operational standards, needs, or goals due to fewer employees, including potential single points of failure, or due to reduced or reallocated resources generally.

***We rely on the experience and expertise of our Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, senior management team, key technical and strategic employees and hourly personnel.***

We believe that our success and future growth depend largely upon the continued services of our senior management team, including our Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer and President Jennifer Y. Hyman. From time to time, there have been and may be future changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of these executives. Our executive officers are employed on an at-will basis, which means they may terminate their employment with us at any time. Further, uncertainty during the current transition period following the Recapitalization Transactions, including the related Board transitions, or a perception that the new management incentive plan is not sufficiently motivating, could result in regrettable management attrition. The loss of one or more of our executive officers, the failure to appropriately manage executive transitions, or the failure by our executive team to effectively work with our new Board and our employees and lead our Company, could harm our business. We do not maintain key man life insurance with respect to any member of management or other employee.

In addition, our future success will depend upon our ability to attract and retain employees, particularly for key roles, such as engineering and product (including data science), brand, marketing, buying and planning, and logistics, as well as hourly fulfillment workers and customer service agents. Such efforts have required, and are expected to continue to require significant time, expense, and attention as there is intense competition for such individuals, particularly in New York City, Galway, New Jersey and Texas, and new hires require significant training and time before they achieve full productivity. We may be unable to maintain competitive wage and salary levels, which may increase further due to inflation and potential laws increasing minimum wages. Our inability to maintain competitive wage and salary levels could increase attrition and make recruiting more difficult. Alternatively, we may be required to increase current compensation levels to attract and retain employees, which could negatively impact our profitability goals. In addition, prospective and existing employees often consider the value of the equity awards they may receive in connection with their employment and i) our stock price has declined significantly since our 2021 IPO and ii) we expect to grant future equity awards to a small group of senior leaders. If the perceived value of our equity awards is inadequate or experiences significant volatility, it may adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain key employees. Although we have implemented different types of programs with a goal of incentivizing our employees, these programs and plans may not have the intended incentivization and retention benefits, particularly in light of our current stock price volatility. Further our continued efforts to optimize our cost structure and organization design has made, and in the future may, make it more difficult to attract and retain employees for key roles.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

We have an office-centric model in our New York City headquarters for our corporate employees. If our current model is not aligned with our employees' preferences, it may adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain employees and may negatively impact our Company culture, collaboration and productivity, and may be something that we need to revisit in the future.

We have experienced in the past, and may in the future experience, voluntary attrition at significant rates for various reasons, including challenges with employee morale, perception of our business and financial condition, and challenging labor market conditions such as rising wages and competition in hiring. Our teams are generally leanly staffed, which means that the impact of lower levels of attrition can be felt more acutely than in larger organizations. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees in a timely fashion, particularly for the key roles described above, our ability to achieve our strategic objectives will be adversely impacted, and our business and future growth prospects will be harmed.

***We believe that our Company culture has contributed to our success and if we cannot maintain this culture as we grow, our business could be harmed.***

We believe that our Company culture has been critical to our success. We aim to cultivate and maintain a workplace that is entrepreneurial, passionate, kind and positive, which we believe is essential to our growth and continued success. We face a number of challenges that may affect our ability to sustain our corporate culture, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the failure to maintain and/or improve employee morale and engagement for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, our office-centric approach in our New York City headquarters, past and future restructurings and layoffs, the perception of our business and financial condition, and our continued efforts to ensure a cost-conscious and efficient workforce that supports our growth and profitability goals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the failure to identify, attract, reward, and retain employees who share and further our culture, values, and mission;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the failure to successfully integrate AI tools and resources into the day-to-day operations of our teams;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the evolving size, complexity and geographic diversity of our workforce, and our ability to promote a uniform and consistent culture across all our offices and employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• competitive pressures to move in directions that may divert us from our mission, vision, and values;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our hybrid working model for employees in Galway and the remote working model for customer service employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the continued challenges of a rapidly-evolving industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the increasing need to develop expertise in new areas of business that affect us; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the employee and market perception of our ESG efforts, which may impact employee morale and recruiting efforts.

In particular, we are focused on driving innovation and stronger business results by attracting top talent and continuing to foster an inclusive work environment for all our employees. Although we have adopted policies to promote compliance with laws and regulations as well as to foster a respectful workplace for all employees, our employees may fail to abide by these policies. In addition to damaging our reputation, actual or alleged misconduct could tarnish our culture and reputation, result in negative publicity, affect the confidence of our stockholders, regulators and other parties and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

***Material changes in the pricing practices of our brand and manufacturing partners and/or the costs of raw materials could negatively impact our profitability.***

Our brand and manufacturing partners may increase their pricing if raw materials, labor, or other costs become more expensive or subject to other pricing pressures. The inputs used to manufacture products are subject to availability constraints and price volatility. In addition, our brand partners may pass the increase in sourcing costs to us through price increases, thereby impacting our margins. For example, if manufacturers increase their costs, our Exclusive Designs may not be as cost-effective for us or our brand partners to produce, which could negatively impact our ability to meet our financial goals. The fabrics used in our products are made of raw materials including petroleum-based products and cotton. Significant price fluctuations or shortages in petroleum, cotton, or other raw materials could significantly increase our cost of revenue and the cost associated with procuring products via Exclusive Designs. Moreover, in the event of a significant disruption in the price or supply of the fabrics or raw materials used in the manufacture of the products we offer, such as due to changes in global trade policies, tariffs and other measures that could restrict international trade or due to restrictions on Xinjiang cotton, we and/or our partners might not be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality at an acceptable price. In particular, there is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to global trade policies, tariffs and treatises. The United States has imposed significant tariffs on foreign countries, including China, related to the importation of certain product categories, and countries may change their business and trade policies in anticipation of or in response to the United States's increased import tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policies already enacted or that may be enacted in the future. For example, in early 2025, the U.S. imposed blanket 10% tariffs on virtually all imports to the U.S. and significantly higher tariffs applicable to imports from many countries, which have resulted in other countries imposing additional tariffs on imports from the U.S., and is likely to continue to result in more retaliatory tariffs. The U.S. Supreme Court invalidated the reciprocal tariffs on February 20, 2026; however, shortly thereafter, President Trump signed an executive order implementing a new 10% global tariff pursuant to an alternative statutory authority, which may be raised up to 15%. It remains unclear whether and to what extent duties previously collected under the invalidated tariffs will be refunded, whether refunds will be subject to administrative or judicial processes, or whether offsets or alternative measures may be imposed. This evolving legal and policy landscape has contributed to continued volatility in the supply chain.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

Disruptions in the supply chain due to a variety of macroeconomic factors and the recent inflationary environment have increased raw material costs, impacted pricing of our products, and caused shipping delays. In addition to the general uncertainty and overall risk from changes in global trade policies, tariffs, treatises and supply chains, as we make business decisions in the face of such uncertainty, we may incorrectly anticipate the outcomes, miss out on business opportunities, or fail to effectively adapt our business strategies and manage the adjustments that are necessary in response to such changes. For example, to respond to inflationary and tariff pressures, in August 2025, we implemented increased prices for our subscription plans. Any future developments of these issues, or the perception regarding such developments, could increase the costs associated with procuring rental product, negatively impact our brand partners' business operations which could in turn negatively impact us, reduce the supply of materials used in the design and manufacture of our rental products; and negatively impact customer demand for our products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

***Our business is affected by seasonality.***

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. For our Subscription rentals, we typically acquire the highest number of subscribers in March through May and September through November, as these are the times customers naturally think about changing over their wardrobes. We generally see a higher rate of subscribers pause in the summer, and in mid-December through the end of January. In the third and fourth fiscal quarters, our Reserve business historically (prior to COVID-19) benefited from increased wedding and holiday events but this seasonality has varied since the COVID-19 pandemic. Adverse events, such as higher unemployment, inflation, deteriorating economic conditions, or fewer large-scale holiday and special events, can deter consumers from shopping and renting. Any significant decrease in customers or revenue during periods of high seasonal acquisition could have a disproportionately large impact on our operating results and financial condition for that year. Any factors that harm our operating results during these periods, including disruptions in our brand partners' supply chains or unfavorable economic conditions, could have a disproportionate effect on our results of operations for our entire fiscal year.

We also experience seasonality in the timing of expenses and capital outlays. In anticipation of increased rental activity during seasonal peaks, we typically incur significant expenses, such as rental product capital expenditures. We may also incur expenses for additional marketing and/or additional staffing in our customer support operations. In addition, we typically experience an increase in our shipping costs during peak seasons, such as around the holidays. In the future, our seasonal subscriber or revenue patterns may become more pronounced or may change, may strain our personnel and operational activities, and may cause a shortfall in revenue as compared with expenses in a given period, which could substantially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, our growth in recent years may obscure the extent to which seasonality trends have affected our business and may continue to affect our business, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may have altered our historical seasonality trends. Accordingly, yearly or quarterly comparisons of our operating results may not be useful and our results in any particular period will not necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. Seasonality in our business can also be affected by introductions of new or enhanced products and offerings, including the costs associated with such introductions.

***We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Recapitalization Transactions, or those benefits may be short-lived or insufficient for our future needs.***

On October 28, 2025, we completed the recapitalization transactions to strengthen our financial position and financial flexibility by significantly reducing our existing indebtedness and adding capital to the business (the "Recapitalization Transactions"). See "Note 3 — Liquidity" and "Note 4 — Recapitalization Transactions" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. We may fail to fully realize the anticipated benefits of the Recapitalization Transactions or such benefits may be short-lived or insufficient for our future needs due to factors within or outside our control. Our ability to continue to grow our business depends, among other things, upon our ability to successfully execute on our business strategies, hire, retain and motivate key talent, obtain financing for our capital needs, scale our systems efficiently and effectively, control costs, comply with our debt covenants, and manage the pressures on our management and administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. If we fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Recapitalization Transactions, or if those benefits are short-lived or insufficient for our future needs, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

***Failure to manage our Board transition and related changes could materially adversely affect our business.***

To facilitate the Recapitalization Transactions, the Board has been restructured, including new and departing members, changes to the Audit Committee composition, and the designation of Mr. Fonseca as Executive Chair, and this transition may cause temporary uncertainty and disruption. Additionally, the Investor Group (defined below) has indicated that it is continuing to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify and designate a third Investor Group director to the Board, which could take place in the near future.

The potential uncertainty and disruption resulting from the Board transition and related changes, along with the ongoing efforts to identify a third Investor Group director, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For more information on the Board transition, see "Note 4 — Recapitalization Transactions" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

***We may require additional capital to support the growth of our business and satisfy our debt obligations, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.***

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through equity and debt financings and revenue generated from our offerings. Our goal is to be a profitable company over time; however, we cannot be certain when or if our operations will generate sufficient cash to fully fund our ongoing operations or the growth of our business. We also intend to continue to make investments to develop and grow our business. For example, in the future, we may need additional funding to satisfy our debt obligations, to obtain rental products, for marketing, and for headcount or other operating expenses and capital expenditures, to develop new features or enhance our offerings, to improve our operating infrastructure, and/or to acquire complementary businesses and technologies. However, our market capitalization, business performance and/or level of indebtedness and/or governance structure may adversely impact efforts to raise additional capital. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, our ability to support our business growth, and respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and our business may be adversely affected. Additionally, in recent periods, there has been volatility in and disruptions to the global economy, including the equity and debt financial markets. Such weakness and volatility in capital markets and the economy in general could limit our access to capital markets and increase our costs of borrowing.

If we incur additional debt, the debt holders would have rights senior to holders of common stock to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity securities, including pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, stockholders will experience dilution, and the new equity securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in the future will depend on numerous considerations, including factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of any future issuances of debt or equity securities. As a result, our stockholders bear the risk of future issuances of debt or equity securities reducing the value of our common stock and diluting their interests.

We maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major U.S. and international financial institutions, and our deposits at these institutions exceed insured limits. Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions. In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our business and financial position.

***In connection with the Recapitalization Transactions, we entered into a new credit agreement, which includes covenants that could restrict our operations or our ability to pursue growth strategies and initiatives, and failure to comply with these covenants could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Under the terms of the Recapitalization Transactions, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, as borrower, CHS (US) Management LLC, as administrative agent (the "Agent"), and CHS US Investments LLC ("Lender"), Gateway Runway, LLC ("Nexus") and S3 RR Aggregator, LLC, as lenders ("STORY3" and, collectively with Lender and Nexus, the "Investor Group"). The New Credit Agreement amended and restated our prior credit agreement, dated as of July 23, 2018, by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Agent (as successor-in-interest to Double Helix Pte Ltd.) (the "Existing Credit Agreement"). The New Credit Agreement contains negative covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, amend our material agreements, make investments, incur liens, make negative pledges, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Our obligation to comply with such covenants could decrease our operating flexibility and our ability to achieve our operating objectives, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, in the past we have sought waivers and/or concessions from our Lender to ensure our continued compliance with certain covenants under our Existing Credit Agreement, and we may in the future be unable to comply with the covenants under the New Credit Agreement. If we were unable to comply with our covenants and successfully negotiate with the Investor Group for a waiver or dispensation of such covenants under the New Credit Agreement, the Agent would have the right to accelerate repayment of all outstanding obligations under the New Credit Agreement, which would become immediately due and payable, and exercise all other rights and remedies available under the New Credit Agreement. While our Lender has previously granted waivers or entered into amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement to avoid certain events of default, there can be no assurance that the Investor Group will be willing to do so in the future. In addition, the rights of the Investor Group under the New Credit Agreement are transferable and assignable, and any transferee may not be willing to grant such waivers or enter into such amendments, or have interests that align with us and our stockholders. Therefore, any failure to comply with the covenants under the New Credit Agreement and negotiate with the Investor Group could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Our level of indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate sufficient cash to fulfill our obligations under such indebtedness, to react to changes in our business and to incur additional indebtedness to fund future needs.***

As of January 31, 2026, we had $156.6 million aggregate amount of borrowings, consisting of principal and debt (premium) discount under the New Credit Agreement. If we are unable to successfully manage our long-term debt obligations, our liquidity, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition may be materially adversely impacted. See Risks Related to the Recapitalization Transactions, Note 4 — Recapitalization Transactions and Note 9 —Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our indebtedness and the Recapitalization Transactions.

Our ability to make interest and principal payments and to fund our planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash flows. Our ability to generate cash flows is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control, such as an environment of rising or continuously high interest rates. To the extent we are impacted by macroeconomic trends, or other factors, including, but not limited to, lower demand for our business, increased rental product spend or tariffs, we plan to reduce fixed and variable costs accordingly and have established plans to preserve existing cash liquidity, which includes additional reductions to labor, operating expenses, and/or capital expenditures. However, these actions may not provide sufficient incremental liquidity to fund our debt service obligations when they become current. If our cash flows, capital resources and any measures to reduce fixed and variable costs are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. Our ability to restructure or refinance our current or future debt, if needed, will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time, as well as cooperation with our lender. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. We cannot provide assurance that our business will be able to generate sufficient levels of cash or that future borrowings or other financings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness and fund our other liquidity needs. If we need to generate additional levels of cash to service our indebtedness or meet our covenant obligations, we may need to undertake additional cost-cutting measures. These financing risks, in addition to potential rising interest rates and changes in market conditions, if realized, could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. See "Note 4 — Recapitalization Transactions" and "Note 9 —Long-Term Debt" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our indebtedness and the Recapitalization Transactions.

***Our New Credit Agreement contains covenants and other restrictions on our actions that may limit our operational flexibility or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

The terms of our New Credit Agreement include a number of covenants that limit our ability to (subject to negotiated exceptions), among other things, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens on assets, enter into agreements related to mergers and acquisitions, dispose of assets or pay dividends and make distributions. These and other restrictions may restrict our current and future operations and could adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs. In addition, complying with these covenants may make it more difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy and compete against companies which are not subject to such restrictions. See Risks Related to the Recapitalization Transactions, Note 4 — "Recapitalization Transactions" and Note 9 —Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our indebtedness and the Recapitalization Transactions.

A failure by us to comply with the covenants specified in the New Credit Agreement could result in an event of default under the agreement, which would give the lender the right to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. If the debt under the New Credit Agreement were to be accelerated, we may not have sufficient cash or be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance the debt or sell sufficient assets to repay the debt, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, which may result in material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations, our ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations and our access to the capital markets could be impaired, and the price of our Class A stock could decline***.

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described below. As of January 31, 2026, these material weaknesses remain unremediated. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We did not maintain sufficient evidence of the operation of controls to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures nor were monitoring controls evidenced at a sufficient level to provide the appropriate level of oversight of activities related to our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:

We did not design and maintain effective controls to ensure (i) the appropriate segregation of duties in the operation of manual controls and (ii) journal entries were reviewed at the appropriate level of precision.

We did not design and maintain effective controls over information technology ("IT") general controls for information systems and applications that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements. Specifically, we did not design and maintain (i) program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately, (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to our financial applications, programs and data to appropriate personnel, (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that critical batch jobs are monitored and data backups are authorized and monitored and (iv) testing and approval controls for program development to ensure that new software development is aligned with business and IT requirements. These IT control deficiencies, when aggregated, could impact maintaining effective segregation of duties, as well as the effectiveness of IT-dependent controls (such as automated controls that address the risk of material misstatement to one or more assertions, along with the IT controls and underlying data that support the effectiveness of system-generated data and reports) that could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected.

The material weaknesses described above did not result in a misstatement to our annual or interim consolidated financial statements. However, each of these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of substantially all account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

The implementation of these remediation efforts is in progress, may require additional expenditures to implement, and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, and as a result, the timing of when we will be able to fully remediate the material weaknesses described above is uncertain. We can give no assurance that our efforts will remediate these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future. If the steps we take do not remediate the material weaknesses we have identified in a timely manner, or if our internal control over financial reporting is not effective, there could be errors in our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that could result in a restatement of our financial statements, and could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, any of which could diminish investor confidence in us and cause a decline in the price of our Class A common stock.

Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to an increased risk of financial reporting fraud and the misappropriation of assets and subject us to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which we list or to other regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses we have identified in a timely manner, or if additional material weaknesses exist or are discovered in the future, and we are unable to remediate any such material weaknesses, our reputation, results of operations and financial condition could suffer.

***The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management's attention, and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members***.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the listing standards of Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources. As a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, our management's attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Furthermore, most members of our management team do not have prior experience in running a public company. We have hired certain employees and engaged consultants to assist us in complying with these requirements; however we may invest additional resources in our compliance efforts, including hiring more employees or employees with additional credentials or engaging outside consultants, which may increase our operating expenses. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

In addition, being a public company that is subject to these rules and regulations has made it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. In the future, we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These rules and regulations may also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly members who can serve on our audit committee, and qualified executive officers.

***As a result of being a public company, we are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, and any failure to maintain the adequacy of these internal controls may adversely affect investor confidence in our Company and, as a result, the value of our Class A common stock***.

We are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("Section 404"), to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC following the date we are no longer an "emerging growth company" or a "smaller reporting company." At such time, our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial expenses and expend significant management efforts. However, for as long as we are an "emerging growth company" or a "smaller reporting company with under $75M in public float," our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b). See "We are an 'emerging growth company' and a 'smaller reporting company,' and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies will make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors."

In addition to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the audit of our financial statements, subsequent testing by us or our independent registered public accounting firm may reveal additional deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. During the evaluation and testing process of our internal controls, if we identify additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to certify that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. We cannot provide assurance that there will not be additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm determines we have additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

***Strategic investments, partnerships, alliances, or acquisitions could be difficult to identify, pose integration challenges, divert the attention of management, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations*.**

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to expand our services and grow our business in response to changing technologies, customer demands, and competitive pressures. We may choose to expand our services and grow our business by entering into partnerships or alliances with third parties rather than through internal development or through the acquisition of complementary businesses and technologies. The identification of suitable alliance partners or acquisition candidates can be difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and we may not be able to successfully complete identified transactions. In addition, if we pursue and complete an acquisition, we may not be able to successfully integrate the acquired business. The risks we face in connection with partnerships and acquisitions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a partnership or acquisition may disrupt our ongoing business, divert resources, increase our expenses, and distract our management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an acquisition may negatively affect our financial results because it may require us to incur charges or assume substantial debt or other liabilities, may cause adverse tax consequences or unfavorable accounting treatment, may expose us to claims and disputes by stockholders and third parties, including intellectual property claims and disputes, or may not generate sufficient financial return to offset additional costs and expenses related to the acquisition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may encounter difficulties or unforeseen expenditures in integrating the business, offerings, technologies, personnel, or operations of any company that we partner with or acquire; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if we incur debt or issue a significant amount of equity securities to fund such joint venture or acquisition, such debt may subject us to material restrictions on our ability to conduct our business, as well as financial maintenance covenants and such equity securities may cause dilution for our existing stockholders and earnings per share may decrease.

The occurrence of any of these foregoing risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and expose us to unknown risks or liabilities.

***Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States***.

GAAP is subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"), the SEC, and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. The accounting for our business is complicated, particularly in the area of revenue recognition, and is subject to change based on the evolution of our business model, interpretations of relevant accounting principles, enforcement of existing or new regulations, and changes in SEC or other agency policies, rules, regulations, and interpretations of accounting regulations. Changes to our business model and accounting methods, principles, or interpretations could result in changes to our financial statements, including changes in revenue and expenses in any period, or in certain categories of revenue and expenses moving to different periods, may result in materially different financial results, and may require that we change how we process, analyze, and report financial information and our financial reporting controls.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

***If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect, our results of operations could be adversely affected***.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as provided in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates." The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity, and the amount of revenue and expenses. Significant estimates and judgments include the useful life and salvage value of rental product, incremental borrowing rate to determine lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, valuation of share-based compensation and warrants, and recoverability of long-lived assets. Our results of operations may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our results of operations to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of our Class A common stock.

***Scrutiny and evolving expectations from consumers, investors, regulators, policymakers, employees and other stakeholders regarding environmental, social and governance matters may adversely impact our business and reputation.***

There has been heightened and, at times, conflicting stakeholder focus, including by consumers, investors, regulators, policymakers, employees and other stakeholders, on ESG matters generally and with regard to the fashion industry specifically. We expect that this increased focus on ESG considerations will affect some aspects of our operations. This requires continuous monitoring of various and evolving laws, regulations, standards and expectations and any associated reporting requirements. Such laws, regulations, standards and expectations may result in additional costs to us or we may become subject to additional requirements in order to comply with them. These laws, regulations, standards and expectations may conflict with one another or may not always be uniform across jurisdictions, which may result in increased complexity, and cost, for compliance. Separately, various regulators have adopted, or are considering adopting, regulations on environmental marketing claims, including but not limited to the use of "sustainable", "eco-friendly", "recyclable" or similar language in product marketing. Any of the foregoing may require us to make additional investments or incur additional costs for the collection of data and/or preparation of disclosures and associated internal controls, and in turn, may adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

Further, any failure or perceived failure to meet our Impact Strategy goals for any reason, including due to changes to the prioritization or scope of these goals, or a loss of confidence on the part of customers, investors, employees, brand partners and other stakeholders as it relates to our ESG initiatives could negatively impact our brand or the demand for our offerings, or lead to enforcement actions or litigation, adversely affecting our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. These impacts could be difficult and costly to overcome, even if such concerns were based on inaccurate or misleading information. In addition, achieving our Impact Strategy goals may result in increased costs in our supply chain, fulfillment and/or corporate business operations, and could deviate from our initial estimates and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Furthermore, if our competitors' corporate responsibility performance is perceived to be greater than ours, we may lose potential or current customers, we may be unable to recruit and retain employees effectively, and potential or current investors may elect to invest with our competitors instead.

Voluntary or required standards and research regarding ESG initiatives could change and become more onerous for both us and our third-party suppliers and vendors to meet successfully. Evolving data and research could undermine or refute ESG-related claims that we have made, which could also result in costs, a decrease in revenue and/or negative market perception that could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

A variety of organizations measure the performance of companies on such ESG topics, and the results of these assessments are widely publicized. In addition, investment in funds that specialize in companies that perform well in such assessments are increasingly popular, and major institutional investors have publicly emphasized the importance of such ESG measures to their investment decisions. Topics taken into account in such assessments include, among others, the Company's efforts and impacts on climate change and the environment and human and labor rights, ethics and compliance with law, human capital and diversity, equity and inclusion matters, and the role of the Company's board of directors in supervising ESG issues. Unfavorable ESG ratings could lead to negative investor sentiment toward us and/or our industry, which could have a negative impact on our access to and costs of capital. In light of investors' and other stakeholders' increased focus on ESG matters, there can be no certainty that we will manage such issues successfully, or that we will successfully meet our stakeholders' or society's ESG expectations or achieve our ESG goals and financial goals. Additionally, many of our third-party suppliers and vendors may be subject to similar expectations, which may augment or create additional risks, including risks that may not be known to us.

***The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in our public disclosures may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, or at all.***

The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in our public disclosures may prove to be inaccurate. Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate, including as a result of any of the risks described in this Annual Report.

The variables that go into the calculation of our market opportunity are subject to change over time, and there is no guarantee that any particular number or percentage of addressable customers and subscribers covered by our market opportunity estimates will become a customer or subscriber or generate any particular level of revenues for us. In addition, our ability to expand in any of our target markets depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance and perceived value associated with our products and offerings. Even if the markets in which we compete meet the size estimates and growth forecasted in our public disclosures, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, or at all. Our growth is subject to many factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the forecasts of market growth included in our public disclosures should not be taken as indicative of our future growth.

***The COVID-19 pandemic had a material adverse impact on our business***. ***Other future pandemics or public health crises may have a similar adverse impact on our business.***

The COVID-19 pandemic materially adversely affected our operating and financial results during fiscal year 2020 in many ways. Future pandemics or public health crises may have similar adverse effects on our business. Although we anticipate that our operating results in future fiscal years will reflect a more normal operating environment, the current economic climate has created a high degree of uncertainty and there is no assurance that our scale, number of customers, revenue or growth will return to or surpass pre-pandemic levels for a sustained period of time. As such, we continue to closely monitor global health crises in general, and will assess our strategy and operational structure in light of future developments.

***Expansion of our operations internationally requires management attention and resources, involves additional risks, and may be unsuccessful.***

We do not currently offer our products and services internationally. In the event we decide to expand our geographic market internationally, we will need to adapt to different local cultures, standards, laws, and policies. The business model we employ may not appeal as strongly to customers in international markets. Our entry into new markets will also require us to become familiar with different trends and customer preferences in such markets. In addition, consumer shopping behavior may continue to evolve and we may need to adapt our service to such changes.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

Furthermore, to succeed with customers in international locations, we will need to locate fulfillment centers in foreign markets, hire local employees and source products appealing to local preferences, and we will have to invest in these facilities, employees and products before proving we can successfully run foreign operations. We may not be successful in expanding into additional international markets or in generating revenue from foreign operations for a variety of reasons, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lower acceptance of our offerings and the concept of renting apparel and accessories and the need to localize our products offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• competition from local incumbents that understand the local market and may operate more effectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory requirements, taxes, trade laws, trade sanctions and economic embargoes, tariffs, export quotas, custom duties, or other trade restrictions, or any unexpected changes thereto; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks resulting from changes in currency exchange rates.

If we invest substantial time and resources to establish and expand our operations internationally and are unable to do so successfully and in a timely manner, our operating results would suffer.

***Risks Related to Our Legal and Regulatory Environment***

***Our business is subject to a large number of U.S. and non-U.S. laws and regulations, many of which are evolving, and failure to comply could potentially impact our operating and financial results.***

We are subject to numerous evolving laws and regulations in the United States and around the world, including those relating to consumer protection, environmental protection, intellectual property, consumer product safety, data privacy, data security and data protection, AI, taxation, and immigration, labor, and other employment law matters, such as workplace safety, particularly in our fulfillment centers, and wage and hour regulations. There has been a continued regulatory focus on automatically renewing subscription offerings, such as ours. For example, California's Automatic Renewal Law, and the federal Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (the "ROSCA"), require companies to adhere to enhanced disclosure and cancellation requirements when entering into automatically renewing contracts with subscription customers. Regulators and private plaintiffs have brought enforcement and litigation or arbitration actions against companies, challenging automatic renewal, terms of service, and subscription programs.

We strive to comply with all applicable laws; however, despite our efforts, we may not have fully complied in the past and may not in the future. If we fail to comply with existing or future laws or regulations, or if these laws or regulations are violated by our brand partners, suppliers or vendors, we may be subject to criminal and civil liabilities, fines, or sanctions and, while incurring substantial legal fees and costs and reputational harm. In addition, compliance and remediation efforts can be costly.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

***We are subject to U.S. and certain foreign export and import controls, sanctions, embargoes, anti-corruption laws, and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Compliance with these legal standards could impair our ability to compete in domestic and international markets, and we could face criminal liability and other serious consequences for violations, which could harm our business*.**

We are subject to export control laws and regulations (including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations), U.S. Customs and import regulations, various economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the "FCPA"), as amended, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, and other state and national anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in the countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and generally prohibit companies and their employees, agents, contractors, and other partners from authorizing, promising, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, corrupt payments of anything of value to recipients in the public or private sector to obtain or retain business or an improper business advantage. As a public company, we also are subject to the FCPA's accounting provisions, which require us to make and keep complete and accurate books and records, and to maintain a system of adequate internal accounting controls. We have brand partners, suppliers, and vendors operating outside the United States and may engage other third parties to sell our products and services or to obtain necessary permits, licenses, patent registrations, and other regulatory approvals outside the United States. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of our employees, agents, contractors, and other partners, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities. Although we have policies and controls in place to promote compliance with these laws and regulations, there are no assurances that these policies and controls will always prevent illegal or improper acts by employees, agents, third parties, or business partners. Violations of the laws and regulations described above may result in substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties, imprisonment, the loss of export or import privileges, debarment, tax reassessments, breach of contract and fraud litigation, reputational harm, investigation costs, and other consequences, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***From time to time, we may be subject to claims, legal proceedings, regulatory disputes, and governmental inquiries that could cause us to incur significant expenses, divert our management's attention, and materially harm our business, financial condition, and operating results***.

From time to time, we may be subject to claims, lawsuits, government investigations, and other proceedings involving products liability, competition and antitrust, intellectual property, data privacy, data security and data protection, consumer protection, securities, tax, labor and employment, commercial disputes, environmental regulations, and other matters that could adversely affect our business operations and financial condition. For example, on November 14, 2022, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit in the Eastern District of New York against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of its IPO, entitled Rajat Sharma v. Rent the Runway, Inc., et al. The complaint, which has since been amended, alleges that we violated sections of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by making allegedly materially misleading statements, and by omitting material facts necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, compensatory damages, attorneys' fees and costs and such other relief as deemed just and proper by the court. See "Note 17, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details about the class action and other matters.

In addition, in recent years, we have seen a rise in the number and potential significance of these disputes and inquiries and evolving areas of focus for regulators and private plaintiffs. For example, there has been an increase in consumer class action lawsuits and mass arbitrations relating to subscription products. Litigation and regulatory proceedings may be protracted and expensive, and the results are difficult to predict. Certain of these matters include speculative claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages and include claims for injunctive relief. Additionally, the costs we incur could be significant. Adverse outcomes with respect to claims, litigation or any of these legal proceedings may result in significant settlement costs or judgments, penalties and fines, or require us to modify our products and offerings or other business processes, which could negatively affect our financial performance or our revenue growth. The results of litigation, investigations, claims, and regulatory proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and determining reserves for pending litigation and other legal and regulatory matters requires significant judgment. There can be no assurance that our expectations will prove correct, and even if these matters are resolved in our favor or without significant cash settlements, these matters, and the time and resources necessary to litigate or resolve them, could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, as a public company, our business and financial condition are more visible than as a private company, which may result in an increased risk of threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, would divert the resources of our management and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Failure to adequately obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights could harm our brand, devalue our proprietary content, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively***.

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain, maintain, protect, and enforce our intellectual property rights, including those in our proprietary technologies, know-how, and brand. To protect our rights to our intellectual property, we rely on a combination of trademark, copyright, patent, and trade secret laws, domain name registrations, confidentiality agreements, and other contractual arrangements with our employees, affiliates, customers, strategic partners, vendors, and others. However, the protective steps we have taken and plan to take may be inadequate to deter infringement, misappropriation or other violations of our intellectual property or proprietary rights and we may be unable to enforce all of our intellectual property rights, particularly as our use of AI tools and resources (and the use of AI tools and resources by third parties) increases, if we or our third-party partners fail to adequately safeguard our intellectual property. Failure to adequately protect and enforce our intellectual property rights and/or develop new intellectual property could harm our brand, devalue our proprietary technology and content, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively.

If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, our competitors may gain access to our intellectual property and proprietary technology and develop and commercialize substantially identical offerings or technologies, which could compete with or devalue our business. For example, the trademark clearance and prosecution process is expensive and time consuming. As such, we may not be able to engage in the clearance process or obtain registrations for every trademark that we use. If our unregistered trademarks are infringed, we may have inadequate protections in place to enforce against third party uses. Additionally, we may not timely or successfully register our trademarks in all jurisdictions, which could enable third parties to use or inhibit use of our brand name and thus create potential impediments to our business, including any efforts to expand the business outside of the U.S. The copyright registrations we have obtained for our website may not adequately protect all material contained on our website, and these registrations do not cover any material that is not part of our website. As such, if our copyrighted works are infringed or otherwise violated, we may not have sufficient registrations in place to enforce our rights in court or to obtain potentially available statutory damages, and we may need to take additional steps to be able to enforce our rights. The patent prosecution process is expensive and time-consuming. We may not be able to prepare, file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a commercially reasonable cost or in a timely manner or in all relevant jurisdictions, creating an opportunity for third parties to patent the same technology while preventing us from continuing to use it. Moreover, depending on the terms of any future in-licenses to which we may become a party, we may not have the right to control the preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications, or to maintain the patents, covering technology in-licensed from third parties. Any patents, trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights that we have or may obtain may be challenged or circumvented by others or invalidated or held unenforceable through administrative proceedings or litigation. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable procedural, documentary, maintenance, renewal, fee payment and other similar requirements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or other similar governmental agencies or administrative bodies could result in abandonment or lapse of the affected intellectual property rights. Further, the laws of some foreign countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the United States, and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights in those countries may be inadequate. Accordingly, despite our efforts to obtain and protect our intellectual property, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our offerings and capabilities and use information that we regard as proprietary to create offerings that compete with ours.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

We generally enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants, as well as agreements with other third parties, including suppliers and other partners, that contain confidentiality obligations and work-for-hire or assignment provisions. However, we cannot guarantee that we have entered into such agreements with each party that has developed intellectual property for us or that may have had access to our proprietary information and technology, know-how, and trade secrets, and in certain jurisdictions the agreements that we have entered into may not be enforceable. Moreover, no assurance can be given that these agreements will be effective in controlling access to our proprietary information or preventing the unauthorized distribution, use, misappropriation, reverse engineering, or disclosure of our proprietary intellectual property and other proprietary rights, information, technology, know-how, and trade secrets. These agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. If any of our trade secrets were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position would be harmed, possibly leaving us without an adequate remedy to make us whole.

We may be required to spend significant financial and managerial resources to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights. Litigation and other enforcement actions may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights and to protect our trade secrets. The legal systems of certain countries do not favor the enforcement of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property and proprietary protection, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of our intellectual property or marketing of competing products or solutions in violation of our intellectual property or proprietary rights generally. In particular, the ownership, protectability and enforceability of intellectual property and other proprietary rights arising from or in connection with the use of AI is subject to uncertainty and has not been fully addressed by laws or courts inside or outside the U.S. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming, and distracting to management. In the alternative, the failure to enforce our intellectual property rights could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property rights. Further, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights, and if such defenses, counterclaims, or countersuits are successful, it could result in the loss, impairment or narrowing of valuable intellectual property rights. In patent litigation in the United States, counterclaims alleging invalidity and/or unenforceability are common, and there are numerous grounds upon which a third party can assert invalidity or unenforceability of a patent. In an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that the patent claims we are asserting are invalid and/or unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our patent claims do not cover the technology in question. Third parties may also raise similar claims before administrative bodies in the United States or abroad, even outside the context of litigation. Such proceedings could result in rendering our patents unenforceable or could result in narrowing the scope of the patent claims so that they no longer cover the technology we intend to protect. The outcome following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability is unpredictable. An adverse result in any litigation or defense proceedings could have a material adverse impact on our business by making the technology at issue freely available for others to use. Our inability to protect our trade secrets and proprietary technology against unauthorized copying, disclosure, or use, as well as any costly litigation or diversion of our management's attention and resources, could delay further sales or the implementation of our offerings and capabilities, impair the functionality of our offerings and capabilities, delay or prevent introductions of new offerings, result in our substituting inferior or more costly technologies into our offerings, allow our competitors to gain momentum or overtake us, or injure our brand and reputation. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, even with appropriate protective mechanisms in place, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. There could also be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions, or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a material adverse effect on the price of our Class A common stock.

***We may incur costs to defend against, face liability or be vulnerable to intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, and other claims and allegations brought against us by others, which could result in substantial damages and diversion of management's efforts and attention***.

Third parties may assert claims against us alleging that we infringe upon, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate their intellectual property rights. For example, as trademark clearance and prosecution matters can be expensive and time consuming, we may not be able to engage in a comprehensive clearance process or obtain registrations for every trademark that we use. As such, a third party could claim that our unregistered mark closely resembles the third party's trademark used for similar services and could make trademark infringement or passing off claims against us. Further, we may not be able to engage in copyright clearance for all content that we use in our business. As such, third parties could claim that content on our website or social media pages (or posted by social media influencers or brand ambassadors that we engage) infringes or otherwise violates the intellectual property rights of others.

We have measures in place designed to avoid infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others. However, there is a risk that third parties may assert patent infringement claims against us for the sole purpose of extracting a settlement for a sum that may amount to nuisance value. For example, non-practicing entities may file lawsuits against us, regardless of merit, seeking to arrive at a quick settlement and payment. Moreover, despite our efforts to ensure that our employees and other third parties do not use the intellectual property and other proprietary information of third parties in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that we, our employees or third parties working on our behalf have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed intellectual property or other proprietary information of a former employer or other third parties.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

We may also be subject to claims of infringement, misappropriation or other violation related to rental product designs and/or content provided by our third-party partners such as brands, influencers, marketing partners and other third parties. Although we aim to have contractual remedies and indemnification rights in our third-party agreements, such provisions may be inadequate. For example, from time to time, we have received cease and desist and demand letters from third parties in connection with our use of certain marketing and advertising assets and our rental product designs, which could lead to claims against us. These risks have been amplified by the increase in third parties whose sole or primary business is to assert such claims. These claims, regardless of their merit, could be expensive and time consuming to defend and could divert management resources. We cannot predict the outcome of such claims, lawsuits or administrative proceedings, and we cannot ensure that the results of any such actions will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If these claims are resolved against us, we could incur significant monetary liability, or we could be prevented from renting or selling some of our products or using some of our technology. In addition, a finding of liability or other resolution of claims may require us to change our business model, redesign or rebrand our products, replace portions of our technology platform, license rights from third parties, cease using certain brand names or other intellectual property rights altogether, or make substantial payments for royalty or license fees, legal fees, disgorgement of profits, corrective advertising, settlement payments or other costs or damages. Insurance coverage for infringement, misappropriation or other claims may not be available at all or only on very limited terms, and may be inadequate to cover potential costs and losses. Further, licenses may not be available to us on reasonable terms, if at all. Any of these events could harm our business and cause our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition to suffer.

***Our use of third-party open-source software could adversely affect our ability to offer our products and offerings and subjects us to possible litigation*.**

We use third-party open-source software in connection with the development and deployment of our software applications and will likely use third-party open-source software in the future. Some open-source licenses require that source code that is developed using open-source software be made available to the public at no cost and that any modifications or derivative works to certain open-source software continue to be licensed under open-source licenses, which in some circumstances could include valuable proprietary code. In some circumstances this could require valuable proprietary code to be made available as open-source software, and may also prohibit charging fees to licensees. While we employ practices designed to monitor our compliance with the licenses of open-source software and try to ensure that we do not use any of the open-source software in a manner that would require us to disclose our proprietary source code or preclude us from charging fees, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful. We cannot guarantee that all open-source software is reviewed prior to use in our platform, or that our developers have not incorporated (and will not in the future incorporate) open-source software into our products and offerings without our knowledge. Furthermore, there are an increasing number of open-source software license types, almost none of which have been tested in a court of law, resulting in a dearth of guidance regarding the proper legal interpretation of such licenses. As a result, there is a risk that open-source software licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to market or provide our products and offerings. If we were to receive a claim of non-compliance with the terms of any of our open-source licenses, we may be required purchase a costly license, to publicly release certain portions of our proprietary source code, to limit or cease our use of some or all of our software, or to expend substantial time and resources to re-engineer some or all of our software. We could also be precluded from charging fees for third-party use of our proprietary code.

In addition, the use of third-party open-source software typically carries greater technical and legal risks than the use of third-party commercial software because open-source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties or controls on the functionality or origin of the software. To the extent that our platform depends upon the successful operation of open-source software, any undetected errors or defects could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our systems and injure our reputation. Use of open-source software, particularly with limited community support, may also present additional security risks because the public availability of such software may make it easier for hackers and other third parties to compromise our platform. Further, due to the ad hoc nature of updates to open-source software, we may be unable to maintain the most secure versions of the software. Any of the foregoing could be harmful to our business, financial condition, or results of operations and could help our competitors develop offerings that are similar to or better than ours.

***We are subject to rapidly changing and increasingly stringent laws, industry standards and consumer expectations relating to data privacy, data security, data protection, and consumer protection*. *The restrictions, obligations and costs imposed by these laws, or our actual or perceived failure to comply with them, could materially impair our ability to grow our business and negatively impact the results of our operations and subject us to liabilities that adversely affect our business, operations, and financial performance.***

We collect, process, store, and use a wide variety of data from current and prospective customers, including personal information, such as home addresses, payment card numbers (through our payment processor) and approximate location information. These activities are regulated by a variety of federal, state, local, and foreign data privacy, data security, data protection and consumer protection laws and regulations, as well as industry standards and guidelines, which have become increasingly stringent in recent years. We have in the past and may continue to be subject to allegations that we have violated one or more of these laws, regulations, standards or guidelines.

U.S. data privacy, data security, data protection, and consumer protection laws are complex and changing rapidly, with the frequent imposition of new and changing requirements across our business. Many U.S. states have enacted, or are considering enacting, laws regulating the online collection, use, processing, and disclosure of personal information and are requiring that companies implement reasonable data security measures. Laws in all U.S. states and territories also require businesses to notify affected individuals, governmental entities, and/or credit reporting agencies of certain security incidents affecting personal information.

Further, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, the "CCPA") took effect on January 1, 2020. The CCPA gives California residents expanded rights related to their personal information, including a private right of action and statutory damages for certain violations, and imposes significant compliance obligations on in-scope businesses, including restrictions on "sales" and certain disclosures of personal information that may restrict our use of cookies and similar technologies for advertising purposes, and could cause us to incur additional CCPA compliance costs or create adverse effects as a result of its restrictions. Similar laws have been proposed in other states and at the federal level, reflecting a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States. For example, since the CCPA went into effect, comprehensive privacy statutes that share similarities with the CCPA are now in effect and enforceable in multiple additional states. The enactment of such laws could have potentially conflicting requirements that would make compliance challenging, resulting in further uncertainty and requiring us to incur additional costs and expenses in an effort to comply, and we could be subject to fines and penalties in the event of actual or perceived non-compliance. We expect to continue to invest in compliance initiatives and potentially implement business process changes to support our compliance efforts.

In addition, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (the "TCPA"), imposes significant restrictions on the ability to make telephone calls or send text messages to mobile telephone numbers, including requirements to obtain prior consent of the person being contacted in certain circumstances. We use text messages frequently as well as place outbound telephone calls to communicate with current and former customers. Efforts to comply with the TCPA do not prevent third-party claims (including class action lawsuits) that we have violated the TCPA from being brought, and such claims could be costly to litigate, and if successful, expose us to substantial statutory damages. Likewise, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (the "CAN-SPAM"), imposes specific restrictions and requirements on our efforts to send marketing materials via email, including notice obligations and content requirements that must be addressed in our marketing emails and the ability for recipients to unsubscribe from such emails. The Federal Trade Commission and State Attorneys General also enforce a broad range of "unfair" or "deceptive" trade practice rules and regulations that expose us to potentially substantial costs, penalties, and injunctive relief in connection with all aspects of our sales, advertising, and marketing activities, as well as our subscription-based business.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

We are also subject to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"), due to certain of our employees being based in Ireland. The GDPR, which is wide-ranging in scope and applies extraterritorially, imposes substantial requirements and restrictions relating to the processing of personal data, including the personal data of our employees based in Ireland. In addition, GDPR compliance requirements continue to rapidly evolve, which poses compliance challenges for many companies, including us. The GDPR also imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data out of the European Economic Area, including to the U.S., which have significantly evolved in recent years, including as a result of various challenges and court rulings. We expect such rules to continue evolving and face additional challenges in the future, adding to the legal complexity and uncertainty.

In addition, privacy advocates and industry groups have regularly proposed, and may propose in the future, self-regulatory standards by which we are legally or contractually bound. If we fail to comply with these contractual obligations or standards, we may face substantial liability or fines. Consumer resistance to the collection and sharing of the data used to deliver targeted advertising, increased visibility of consent or "do not track" mechanisms and "opt-out preference signals" as a result of industry regulatory or legal developments, evolving privacy policy requirements of the mobile application platforms, the adoption by consumers of browser settings or "ad-blocking" software, and the development and deployment of new technologies (including technologies using AI) could materially impact our ability to collect data or reduce our ability to deliver relevant promotions or media, which could materially impair the results of our operations. In addition, while we strive to publish and prominently display privacy policies that are accurate, comprehensive, and compliant with applicable laws, regulations and industry standards, we cannot ensure that our privacy policies and other statements regarding our practices will be sufficient to protect us from claims, proceedings, liability or adverse publicity relating to data privacy, data security, data protection and consumer protection. Although we endeavor to comply with our privacy policies, we may at times fail to do so or be alleged to have failed to do so, and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and U.S. State Attorneys General, and international regulators, are increasingly active in investigating and bringing enforcement actions against companies on claims related to notice, transparency, choice and processing of personal information in the context of sales and marketing and advertising activities. If our public statements about our use, collection, disclosure and other processing of personal information, whether made through our privacy policies, information provided on our website, press statements or otherwise, are alleged to be deceptive, unfair or misrepresentative of our actual practices, or if our practices are not consistent or viewed as not consistent with legal and regulatory requirements, including changes in laws and regulations or new interpretations or applications of existing laws and regulations, we may become subject to audits, inquiries, whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, loss of export privileges, or severe criminal or civil sanctions, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Further, we are subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ("PCI DSS"), which is a multifaceted security standard that is designed to protect payment card data as mandated by payment card industry entities. We rely on vendors to handle PCI DSS matters for us and to ensure PCI DSS compliance. Despite our compliance efforts, we may become subject to claims that we have violated the PCI DSS, based on past, present, and future business practices, which could subject us to fines, restrictions and expulsion from card acceptance programs, have an adverse impact on our business and reputation, and be costly for us to defend.

Our use of AI tools and resources may also subject us to additional data privacy, data security, data protection and consumer protection risks that may impact our business. See "Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Our use of AI may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, operational or other challenges."

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

We may not be successful in achieving compliance with the rapidly evolving data privacy, data security, AI, data protection, and consumer protection requirements discussed above, as well as other data privacy, security, AI, and consumer protection frameworks that currently, or may in the future, apply to us, despite our efforts to comply. All of these frameworks are constantly evolving and are not always consistent with each other, leading to uncertainty in interpretation. Additionally, despite our best compliance efforts, our service providers or partners may not uphold their legal, regulatory or contractual obligations to comply with these data privacy, data security, data protection, consumer protection or AI requirements, thereby exposing us to risks in these areas. Any actual or perceived non-compliance could result in litigation (including class action lawsuits and mass arbitrations) and proceedings against us by governmental entities, customers or others, fines and civil or criminal penalties, limited ability or inability to operate our business, offer services, or market our business in certain jurisdictions, negative publicity and harm to our brand and reputation, and reduced overall demand for our products and offerings. Such occurrences could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our insurance policies and third-party indemnification agreements may not be adequate to compensate us for the potential losses arising from any such litigation or proceedings, or from disruptions in or failure or security intrusion of our IT Systems or third-party systems where information important to our business operations is stored. In addition, such insurance may not be available to us in the future on economically reasonable terms, or at all. Further, our insurance policies may not cover any or all claims made against us and could have high deductibles, and defending a suit, regardless of its merit, could be costly and divert management attention.

***We could incur significant liabilities related to, and significant costs in complying with, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations***.

Our operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to permitting requirements, health, safety and the protection of the environment. These environmental, health and safety laws and regulations include those relating to, among other things, the generation, storage, handling, use and transportation of hazardous and non-hazardous materials; the emission and discharge of hazardous and non-hazardous materials into the environment; the emission and discharge of wastewater; the health and safety of our employees; and the maintenance of our facilities and operations. Our compliance efforts are expected to require ongoing investments and may be costly to maintain.

These laws and regulations are complex and evolving. Despite our efforts, we have been, and may in the future be, subject to claims that we have violated such laws and regulations based on past, present, and future practices, which could have an adverse impact on our business and reputation, and be costly for us to defend. For example, we have received notices from regulatory agencies regarding permitting issues and compliance deficiencies related to our warehouse operations; we cannot guarantee that these or future matters will continue to be immaterial or resolved successfully. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations, which tend to become more stringent over time, failure to obtain or maintain permits necessary for our warehouse operations, or failure to favorably resolve violation notices can result in significant fines, penalties, costs, liabilities or restrictions on operations (including shutdown), injunctive relief, civil or criminal sanctions, and could expose us to costs of investigation or remediation, as well as tort claims for property damage or personal injury, and could negatively affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Liability for the improper release or disposal of waste can be joint and several and significant and there can be no assurance that we will not have to expend material amounts to remediate the consequences of the generation or disposal of waste in the future, particularly with respect to our cleaning operations. Further, we may be responsible as a lessee operator for the costs of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous or non-hazardous substances or waste located on or in or emanating from our leased properties, as well as any property damage. Insurance coverage for such matters is unlikely to be available and, even if available, it may be inadequate to cover potential costs and losses. There can be no assurance that our future operations, properties, uses or conditions will not result in the imposition of liability upon us under environmental laws or other regulations, or expose us to third-party actions such as tort suits.

Furthermore, we rely on third-party suppliers to provide chemicals, cleaning supplies, and handling instructions that comply with applicable health, safety and environmental regulations, and to support other compliance initiatives from time to time. A failure of such suppliers to provide adequate advice, abide by applicable regulations, or the terms of our contractual relationships may subject us to material liabilities.

***Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes to offset taxable income or taxes may be limited***.

As of January 31, 2026, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $507.25 million, $7.8 million of which will expire at various times through 2038. Furthermore, we had state net operating loss carryforwards of $537.91 million, which will expire at various times through 2045. Portions of these net operating loss carryforwards could expire unused and be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. While our U.S. federal net operating losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, may be carried forward indefinitely, the utilization of such losses is subject to limitations. In addition, for state income tax purposes, there may be periods during which the use of net operating loss carryforwards is suspended or otherwise limited, which could accelerate or permanently increase state taxes owed.

In addition, under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and corresponding provisions of state law, an ownership change, generally defined as a significant change in equity ownership, may limit the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes generated prior to the change. The Company previously completed a Section 382 analysis and concluded that an ownership change occurred in 2010; however, all net operating losses subject to that limitation were fully utilized in prior periods. The Company subsequently updated its Section 382 analysis through November 2025 and further determined that an additional ownership change occurred on October 28, 2025. As a result, net operating losses arising prior to that date are subject to annual limitations on utilization under Section 382, which may limit the amount of such net operating losses available to offset future taxable income. These limitations were considered in assessing the realizability of the Company's deferred tax assets, and the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets.

***Changes in our effective tax rate or tax liability may have an adverse effect on our results of operations***.

We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States on a federal and state basis, as well as subject to taxation in Ireland. Our effective tax rate or tax liability could be adversely affected due to several factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the relative amounts of income before taxes in the various jurisdictions in which we operate that have differing statutory tax rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the United States or foreign tax laws, tax treaties, and regulations or their interpretation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes to our assessment about our ability to realize our deferred tax assets that are based on estimates of our future results, the prudence and feasibility of possible tax planning strategies, and the economic and political environments in which we do business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limitations on the utilization of net operating losses and other tax attributes, including those arising under Sections 382, 383 and 108 of the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the outcome of current and future tax audits, examinations, or administrative appeals; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limitations or adverse findings regarding our ability to do business in some jurisdictions.

In the event any tax audit or other proceeding is determined adversely to us, the resulting liabilities (including any penalties and interest) may have an adverse effect on our cash flows. If we expand the scale of our international business activities, any changes in the United States or foreign taxation of such activities may increase our worldwide effective tax rate and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. New income or other tax laws or regulations could be enacted at any time, and existing tax laws and regulations could be interpreted, modified, or applied adversely to us. Any such new laws or regulations or the interpretation, modification or application of existing laws and regulations may materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

***Risks Related to Our Dependence on Third Parties***

***We face risks associated with brand and manufacturing partners from whom our products are sourced or co-manufactured.***

We obtain substantially all of our products directly from hundreds of brand partners through Wholesale, Share by RTR, and Exclusive Designs arrangements with designer and/or manufacturing partners. The benefits we currently experience from these relationships could be adversely affected if they:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• discontinue selling products to us or manufacturing our Exclusive Designs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enter into arrangements with competitors that could impair our ability to source their products, including by giving our competitors exclusivity arrangements or limiting our access to certain products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• raise the prices they charge us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are not satisfied with the value proposition we offer them;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• do not view our brand or financial profile favorably;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change pricing terms to require us to pay a significant portion of the cost of items on delivery or upfront;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• experience negative publicity or reputational issues;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• do not follow our vendor code of conduct and/or violate legal and regulatory requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• experience supply chain disruptions that cause lead times to be lengthened or missed entirely; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fail to execute on the design we have provided for co-manufactured products.

Events that adversely impact our brand and manufacturing partners could impair our ability to obtain adequate and timely products. We also source and manufacture products outside of the United States and we and many of our brand partners use manufacturers in the same geographic regions. As a result, we may be subject to magnified impact from such events including, among others, difficulties or problems associated with our partners' business, the financial instability and labor problems of partners, product quality and safety issues, natural or man-made disasters, inclement weather conditions, war, acts of terrorism and other political instability, economic conditions, imposition of additional import or trade restrictions, including legal or economic restrictions on overseas partners' ability to produce and deliver products, increased custom duties and tariffs, unforeseen delays in customs clearance of goods, more restrictive quotas, loss of a most favored nation trading status, currency exchange rates, transportation delays, port of entry issues, the availability of their raw materials and increased production costs.

Our brand partners and manufacturers may be forced to reduce their production or operations, shut down their operations or file for bankruptcy. Our ability to obtain products timely and cost effectively may also depend on our brand partners' ability to obtain financing, including through factoring companies and other entities, which may also assess our creditworthiness and procurement ability. To the extent our brand partners are unable to secure sufficient credit, they may not be able to produce merchandise, which would impact our ability to purchase merchandise from them. The occurrence of one or more of these events could impact our ability to acquire products, which may result in a less appealing assortment of styles for our customers and reduced availability of the styles we are able to obtain. Similarly, the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness could cause delays or increase costs in the manufacture of certain products. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic caused delays in some shipments from our brand partners.

***We rely on third parties to provide the payment processing infrastructure underlying our business. If these third-party providers become unavailable or unavailable on favorable terms, our business could be adversely affected***.

We rely on third parties to provide payment processing infrastructure, to accept card payments from customers, process and administer gift cards, and through our banking partners, to remit payments to suppliers. These third parties may refuse to renew our agreements with them on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Furthermore, we rely on a single payment processor, which may increase our risks of being unable to process payments and deliver our products in a timely and cost-effective manner. In the event of interruption, we may not be able to develop alternate or secondary processing without incurring material additional costs and substantial delays. If these providers become unwilling or unable to provide these services to us on acceptable terms or at all, our business may be disrupted. For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, we pay interchange fees and other processing and gateway fees, and such fees result in significant costs. Online payment providers have also required, and may in the future require, us to provide demonstrations of credit based on providers' perceptions of our creditworthiness. In addition, online payment providers pay fees to banks to settle funds, and there is no assurance that such online payment providers will not pass any costs on to us, as and when such costs increase. If these fees or other obligations increase over time, our operating costs will increase, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Outages or other failures of our payment processor or third-party partners could harm our business and cause customers to lose trust in our payment operations and cause them to discontinue use of our products and services. If the quality or convenience of our payment operations or processing declines or does not keep pace with industry standards, the attractiveness of our business to customers could be adversely affected. For example, we plan to enhance our payment operations in the future; however, our efforts may be unsuccessful or delayed for various reasons and may fail to meet customer expectations. If we are forced to migrate to other third-party payment service providers for any reason, the transition would require significant time and management resources, and may not be available on acceptable terms or be as effective, efficient, or well-received by our customers.

***Our business relies on third-party cloud infrastructures, and any disruption of, or interference with, our use of cloud infrastructures could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations***.

We previously migrated a substantial portion of our primary production environment, core architecture, and data storage to a third-party cloud provider, which provides a distributed computing infrastructure as a service platform for business operations. We are in the process of consolidating even more of our production environment, architecture, and data storage with this cloud provider and retain a separate third-party cloud provider for other discrete portions of our business. The consolidation of most of our business operations into a single cloud provider is intended to drive efficiencies and improve costs but could increase the impact to our company in the event of a security incident or other type of service interruption (as further described below). Further, this migration may take longer than anticipated, result in higher costs than planned, and lead to significant business disruption if our migration does not go as planned.

Our third-party cloud providers provide the cloud computing infrastructure we use to host our website and mobile application, serve our customers and support our operations and many of the internal tools we use to operate our business. Our website, mobile application, internal tools and operations use computing, storage, data transfer and other functions and services provided by our third-party cloud providers. We do not have control over the operations of the facilities of our third-party cloud providers. In addition, our third-party cloud providers' facilities may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, cybersecurity attacks, terrorist attacks, power losses, telecommunications failures and other events beyond our control. In the event that any third-party cloud provider's systems or service abilities are hindered by any of the events discussed above, particularly in a region where our website is mainly hosted, our ability to operate our business may be impaired. A decision to close their facilities without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems or disruptions could result in lengthy interruptions to our business. Further, our agreements with our third-party cloud providers do not provide us with an adequate remedy for every scenario that could negatively affect our business and limit our third-party cloud providers' liability. All of the aforementioned risks may be exacerbated if our business continuity and disaster recovery plans prove to be inadequate.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

Additionally, data stored with our third-party cloud providers may be subject to cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of such data, including threats or attacks from computer malware, ransomware, viruses, social engineering (including phishing attacks), denial of service or other attacks, employee theft or misuse and general hacking. Any of these security incidents could result in unauthorized access to, damage to, disablement or encryption of, use or misuse of, disclosure of, modification of, destruction of, or loss of our data or our customers' data or disrupt our ability to provide our products and offerings, including due to any failure by us or our service providers to properly configure our cloud environment. Our business' continuing and uninterrupted performance is critical to our success. Customers may become dissatisfied by any system failure that interrupts our ability to provide our merchandise and offerings to them. We may not be able to easily switch our third-party cloud operations to another cloud or other data center provider if there are disruptions or interference with cloud services and, even if we do switch our operations, other cloud and data center providers are subject to the same risks. Sustained or repeated system failures would reduce the attractiveness of our products and offerings, thereby reducing revenue. Moreover, negative publicity arising from these types of disruptions could damage our brand and reputation and may adversely impact our business.

Our primary third-party cloud providers do not have an obligation to renew their agreements with us on terms acceptable to us or at all. Although alternative cloud providers may be able to host our business on a substantially similar basis to our current third-party cloud providers, transitioning our cloud infrastructure to alternative providers could potentially be disruptive, and we could incur significant one-time costs. If we are unable to renew our agreements for our cloud services on commercially acceptable terms, our agreements with our third-party cloud providers are prematurely terminated, or we add additional infrastructure providers, we may experience costs or downtime in connection with the transfer to, or the addition of, new data center providers. If our third-party cloud providers or other infrastructure providers increase the costs of their services, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

***We depend on search engines, social media platforms, mobile application stores, content-based and cross-context behavioral online advertising and other online sources to attract consumers to and promote our website and our mobile application, which may be affected by third-party actions or interference beyond our control and, as we grow, our marketing and/or customer acquisition costs may continue to rise***.

Our success depends on our ability to attract consumers to our website and mobile application and convert them into customers in a cost-effective manner. We depend, in large part, on search engines, social media platforms, mobile application stores, content-based online and cross-context behavioral advertising and other online sources for traffic to our website and mobile application.

With respect to search engines, we are included in search results for both paid search listings, where we purchase specific search terms resulting in inclusion of our advertisements, and free search listings, which depend on algorithms used by search engines. For paid search listings, if one or more of the search engines or other online sources on which we rely for purchased listings modifies or terminates its relationship with us, our expenses could rise, we could lose consumers who access our advertisements and traffic to our website could decrease, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For free search listings, if search engines on which we rely for algorithmic listings modify their algorithms, our websites may appear less prominently or not at all in search results, which could result in reduced traffic to our websites. Finally, if consumer use of AI agents or other AI tools grows, this may in turn reduce the usage of search engines, which could also result in reduced traffic to our websites. For risks related to AI, see "Our use of AI may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, operational or other challenges."

Our ability to maintain and increase the number of consumers directed to our products from digital platforms is not entirely within our control. Search engines, social media platforms and other online sources often revise their algorithms, products, and APIs, introduce new advertising products and respond to regulator and/or industry standards group expectations. If one or more of the search engines or other online sources on which we rely for traffic to our website and our mobile application were to modify its general methodology for how it displays our advertisements or keyword search results or change their APIs without sufficient notice, as they have in the past and may again in the future, fewer consumers may click through to our website and our mobile application or consumers may have difficulty accessing our sites, and our business and operating results are likely to suffer. Also, bots and non-human traffic accessing our site skew reporting, making results and trends more difficult to discern and, as a result, may impact our ability to assess the effectiveness of our marketing and product offerings, which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Our efforts to attract consumers and convert them into customers also rely on the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies, and our ability to use and benefit from such technologies may be restricted or prohibited by changes in the law, market practice, or technology, or third parties who are not under our control. For example, Apple utilizes "opt-in" privacy models for mobile applications using its operating system such as ours, requiring such applications to give consumers the choice to allow or deny the use of tracking technologies to engage in targeted advertising and similar activities, which may reduce the efficacy of our marketing tracking. In addition, if our online display advertisements are no longer effective or are not able to reach certain customers due to their use of ad-blocking software, our business and operating results could suffer. Furthermore, changes in customer acceptance or usage of our online sources for traffic could adversely impact the effectiveness of our advertising.

Additionally, changes in regulations could limit the ability of search engines and social media platforms to collect data from users and engage in targeted advertising, making them less effective in disseminating our advertisements to our target customers. If the effectiveness of marketing through search engines and social media platforms diminishes, or if costs of such channels increase, we may incur additional marketing expenses or be required to allocate a larger portion of our marketing spend to other channels and our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

Furthermore, we depend on the Apple App Store to distribute our mobile application, and because many of our customers access our products through our mobile application, any changes to the Apple App Store terms and conditions or how the Apple App Store functions in connection with our mobile application could adversely affect our business. Apple has broad discretion to change its respective terms and conditions, including those relating to the amount of (and requirement to pay) certain fees associated with our use of the Apple App Store, to interpret its respective terms and conditions in ways that may limit, eliminate or otherwise interfere with our ability to distribute our mobile application through its stores, the features we provide and the manner in which we market in-application products. We cannot provide assurance that Apple will not limit, eliminate or otherwise interfere with the distribution of our mobile application, the features we provide and the manner in which we market our mobile application. To the extent it does so, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

As existing social media platforms continue to rapidly evolve and new platforms develop, we must continue to maintain a presence on these platforms and establish presences on new or emerging social media platforms. If we are unable to cost-effectively use social media platforms as marketing tools or if the social media platforms we use change their policies or algorithms, we may not be able to fully optimize such platforms, and our ability to maintain and acquire consumers and our financial condition may suffer. Furthermore, as laws and regulations and public opinion rapidly evolve to govern the use of these platforms and devices, the failure by us, our employees, our network of social media influencers, our sponsors or third parties acting at our direction or on our behalf to abide by applicable laws and regulations in the use of these platforms and devices or otherwise could subject us to regulatory investigations, class action lawsuits, mass arbitrations, liability, fines or other penalties and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***Any failure by us, our brand partners, third-party manufacturers, or marketing partners to comply with our vendor code of conduct, product safety, labor, or other laws, or to provide safe factory conditions for their workers, may damage our reputation and brand, and harm our business***.

Our standard vendor terms and conditions, vendor code of conduct, and other policies require our brand and manufacturing partners to comply with applicable laws and certain business standards, however, we often have limited visibility into their supply chains, practices, and level of compliance. The failure of these partners to comply with our vendor code of conduct or applicable laws and regulations could damage our reputation, lead to negative press and/or customer sentiment, or result in costly litigation against us.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

The products we rent or sell to our customers are subject to regulation by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, and similar state and international regulatory authorities. As a result, such products could in the future be subject to mandatory recalls and other remedial actions. Product safety, labeling, and licensing concerns may also result in us voluntarily removing selected products from our assortment. Such recalls or voluntary removal of products can result in, among other things, lost revenue, diverted resources, potential harm to our reputation, and increased customer service costs and legal expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

It is possible that some of the products we rent or sell or provide to our customers and potential customers on behalf of third-party marketing partners may expose us to product liability claims and litigation or regulatory action relating to personal injury. Although we maintain liability insurance, we cannot be certain that our coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms or at all. In addition, our partners may not have sufficient resources or insurance to satisfy their indemnity and defense obligations to us in connection with product liability claims or regulatory actions. Further, product liability claims could damage our reputation, lead to negative press and/or customer sentiment, or result in costly demands or litigation against us.

***We may incur significant losses from fraud***.

We have in the past incurred, and may in the future incur, losses from various types of fraud, including claims that a customer did not authorize a purchase, customers who have closed bank accounts or have insufficient funds to satisfy payments, customers who use stolen credit cards to make purchases, customers who fraudulently rented multiple products at once and customers who have failed to return rentals. In addition to the direct costs of such losses, if the fraud is related to credit card transactions and becomes excessive, it could result in us paying higher fees or losing the right to accept credit cards for payment. In addition, under current credit card practices, we are typically liable for fraudulent credit card transactions. We have implemented fraud prevention measures, such as detection tools to identify irregular or high risk customer order patterns, to reduce the risk of fraud. However, these measures may be insufficient to prevent or detect fraud and our failure to adequately prevent fraudulent transactions could damage our reputation, result in litigation or regulatory action, and lead to costs, fees, and expenses that could substantially impact our operating results.

***If our insurance coverage is insufficient for the needs of our business or our insurance providers are unable to meet their obligations, we may not be able to mitigate the risks facing our business***.

We procure third-party insurance policies to cover various operations-related risks including employment practices liability, workers' compensation, property and business interruptions, cybersecurity and data security incidents, crime, directors' and officers' liability, and general business liabilities. In addition, we are required to maintain certain levels of insurance coverage in certain commercial agreements, such as our real estate leases, and in our New Credit Agreement. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to maintain adequate insurance coverage on favorable terms that meets our coverage needs and/or contractual obligations. Insurance providers may discontinue their coverage or significantly increase the cost of coverage, and we cannot guarantee that we would be able to secure replacement coverage on reasonable terms or at all. In addition, if our insurance carriers change the terms of our policies in a manner not favorable to us, our insurance costs could increase. Further, if the insurance coverage we maintain is not adequate to cover losses that occur, or if we are required to purchase additional insurance for other aspects of our business (including due to contractual requirements), we could be liable for significant additional costs. Additionally, if any of our insurance providers becomes insolvent, it would be unable to pay any operations-related claims that we make.

Insurance providers have also raised premiums and deductibles for many businesses, including ours, and may do so in the future. As a result, our insurance and claims expense could increase, or we may decide to raise our deductibles or self-insured retentions when our policies are renewed or replaced. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected if the cost per claim, premiums, the severity of claims, or the number of claims significantly exceeds our historical experience and coverage limits; we experience a claim in excess of our coverage limits; our insurance providers fail to pay on our insurance claims; we experience a claim for which coverage is not provided; or the number of claims under our deductibles or self-insured retentions differs from historical averages.

***Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock***

***We are currently noncompliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires listed companies to have at least three audit committee members.***

On October 28, 2025, we notified Nasdaq of our non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires that the Audit Committee be comprised of three independent directors, and our intent to rely on the cure period provided by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B).

While we intend to appoint an independent director to the Audit Committee no later than our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, as provided by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B), there can be no assurances that we will be able to evidence compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq within the required timeframe. The failure to meet continuing compliance standards subjects our Class A Common Stock to a possible delisting. A delisting of our Class A Common Stock would have an adverse effect on the market liquidity of our Class A Common Stock and, as a result, the market price for our Class A Common Stock could become more volatile. Further, a delisting also could make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.

***We are an "emerging growth company" and a "smaller reporting company," and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies will make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors.***

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 ("JOBS Act"), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies," including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation and non-binding advisory stockholder vote to approve any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, as an emerging growth company, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies, which may make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors. In addition, if we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will no longer be able to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our IPO;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1.235 billion or more;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date on which we have, during the previous rolling three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date we qualify as a "large accelerated filer," with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

We are also a "smaller reporting company" as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies as long as we qualify as such, even after we are no longer an EGC, including reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. See also "Our shares of Class A common stock are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, and we are a 'controlled company' within the meaning of the rules and listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq). As a result, we qualify for, and intend to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. Our stockholders therefore do not have the same protections as those afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such governance requirements, which could make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors or otherwise harm our stock price."

***Our share price may be volatile, and our investors may be unable to sell shares at or above the price they paid for them***.

The market price of our Class A common stock has declined significantly since our IPO, has been volatile and is likely to continue to be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to the risk factors described in this Annual Report, and others within or beyond our control, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Recapitalization Transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue or other operating metrics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our actual or anticipated operating performance and the operating performance of our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the financial projections we provide to the public or our failure to meet these projections;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• positive or negative publicity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our Company, or our failure to meet the estimates or the expectations of investors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any major change in our board of directors, management, or key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the economy as a whole and market conditions in our industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change in global trade policies, tariffs and other measures that could restrict international trade;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in overall stock market conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, new products, services, features, integrations, or capabilities, acquisitions, strategic investments, partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the legal and regulatory landscape and changes in the application of existing laws or adoption of new laws that impact our business, including changes in e-commerce and tax laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• legal and regulatory claims, litigation, or pre-litigation disputes and other proceedings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of COVID-19 or future pandemics on our business or the fashion industry and sharing economy generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sales or expected sales of our Class A common stock by us, our officers, directors, principal stockholders, and employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if securities or industry analysts publish research about our business, or if they publish unfavorable research; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other events or factors, including those resulting from geopolitical conditions, including war, incidents of terrorism, or responses to these events.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

Our investors may not realize any return on their investment in us and may lose some or all of their investment. In addition, stock markets, and the trading of e-commerce companies' and technology companies' stocks in particular, have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. Stock prices of many companies have fluctuated in a manner often unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. It is common for stockholders to institute securities class action litigation following periods of stock volatility. We are currently subject to securities litigation which could divert resources and the attention of management from our business, and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and we could be subject to additional securities litigation in the future.

***Our management has broad discretion in the use of our cash resources and may not use them effectively***.

Our management has broad discretion, subject to our New Credit Agreement and Board oversight, in the application of our cash resources, which may include working capital, to fund growth and for other general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of our cash resources to acquire or make investments in businesses, products, offerings, and technologies. We may also spend or invest these proceeds in a way with which our stockholders disagree. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could adversely affect our ability to pursue our growth strategies and expand our business. Pending their use, we may invest these funds in a way that does not produce income or that loses value.

***Our business and financial performance may differ from any projections that we disclose or any information that may be attributed to us by third parties***.

From time to time, we may provide guidance regarding our projected business and/or financial performance. However, any such projections involve risks, assumptions, and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from such projections. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified in the risk factors described in this Annual Report, some or all of which are not predictable or within our control. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could adversely impact our performance, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any projections, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. In addition, various news sources, bloggers, and other publishers often make statements regarding our historical or projected business or financial performance, and you should not rely on any such information even if it is attributed directly or indirectly to us.

***Future sales of our common stock in the public market could cause our share price to fall***.

See Risks Related to the Recapitalization Transactions and "Note 4 — Recapitalization Transactions" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Recapitalization Transactions, including the sale and issuance of our common stock.

Generally, the sale of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our Class A common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

In the future, we may sell additional Class A common stock, other series of common stock, convertible securities, or other equity securities, including preferred securities, in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time, including but not limited to pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3. We also expect to issue Class A common stock to employees, consultants, and directors pursuant to our equity incentive plans. If we sell Class A common stock, other series of common stock, convertible securities, or other equity securities in subsequent transactions, or Class A common stock or Class B common stock is issued pursuant to equity incentive plans, investors may be materially diluted. New investors in subsequent transactions could gain rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of holders of our Class A common stock.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

In addition, we may issue our capital stock or securities convertible into our capital stock from time to time in connection with a financing, acquisition, investments, or otherwise. Additional issuances of our stock will result in dilution to existing holders of our stock. Also, to the extent outstanding stock options to purchase our stock are exercised or restricted stock units and performance stock units settle, there will be further dilution. The amount of dilution could be substantial depending upon the size of the issuance or exercise. Any such issuances could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and cause the trading price of our Class A common stock to decline.

These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of our shares of Class A common stock or other securities.

***Our shares of Class A common stock are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, and we are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the rules and listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq). As a result, we rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. Our stockholders do not have the same protections as those afforded to stockholders of companies that are not "controlled," which could make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors or otherwise harm our stock price.***

CHS US Investments LLC ("CHS") and its affiliates control a majority of the voting power of our outstanding Class A common stock. As a result, we are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq. Under these corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a "controlled company" and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. For example, controlled companies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are not required to have a board that is composed of a majority of "independent directors," as defined under the rules and listing standards of Nasdaq;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are not required to have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors or have a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are not required to have director nominations be made by or recommended to the full board of directors, by its independent directors, or by a nominations committee that is composed entirely of independent directors, or to adopt a written charter or a board resolution addressing the nominations process.

We utilize, and intend to continue to utilize, certain of these exemptions. We do not have a compensation committee or a nominating and corporate governance committee. Accordingly, our stockholders do not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq, which could make our Class A common stock less attractive to some investors or otherwise harm our stock price.

If at any time we cease to be a "controlled company" under Nasdaq listing rules, our board of directors will take all action necessary to comply with Nasdaq's corporate governance rules, including establishing certain committees composed entirely of independent directors, subject to a permitted "phase-in" period. Notwithstanding our status as a controlled company, we will remain subject to the Nasdaq corporate governance standards that require us to have an audit committee with at least three independent directors, as well as to be composed entirely of independent directors. See "We are currently noncompliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires listed companies to have at least three audit committee members."

***Certain provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law may prevent or hinder attempts by our stockholders to change our management or to acquire a controlling interest in us, and the trading price of our Class A common stock may be lower as a result***.

There are provisions in our Amended Charter and Second Amended and Restated Bylaws ("Amended Bylaws") that may make it difficult for a third party to acquire, or attempt to acquire, control of our Company, even if a change in control were considered favorable by our stockholders. These anti-takeover provisions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• authorization of the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that our board of directors could use to implement a stockholder rights plan;

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a dual class common stock structure in which holders of our Class B common stock, which has 20 votes per share, have the ability to control the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval, even if they own significantly less than a majority of the outstanding shares of our Class B and Class A common stock, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our Company or its assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a classified board of directors so that not all members of our board of directors are elected at one time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a requirement that our directors may only be removed for cause;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of our directors to fill all board vacancies, subject to the rights granted pursuant to the stockholders' agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a prohibition on stockholder actions by written consent, subject to certain exceptions, thereby requiring that all stockholder actions be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advance notice procedures for stockholder director nominees and annual meeting matters (other than the parties to our investor rights agreement), subject to certain exceptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an inability of our stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of our directors to amend our Amended Bylaws without stockholder consent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the requirement of a super-majority to amend some provisions in our Amended Charter and Amended Bylaws; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a prohibition on cumulative voting for directors.

Although we have opted out of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, our Amended Charter contains provisions that are similar to Section 203. Specifically, our Amended Charter provides that, subject to certain exceptions, we will not be able to engage in a "business combination" with any "interested stockholder" for three years following the date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless certain requirements are met. A "business combination" includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving us and the "interested stockholder" or the sale of more than 10% of our assets or to an interested stockholder. In general, an "interested stockholder" is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock and any affiliates or associates of such entity or person.

Any provision in our Amended Charter, Amended Bylaws, or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our Class A common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Class A common stock.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

***Our Amended Charter designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees***.

While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions. In such instance, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of our Amended Charter. This may require significant additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that the provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions.

These exclusive forum provisions may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and other employees. If a court were to find either exclusive forum provision in our Amended Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we could incur further significant additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, all of which could seriously harm our business.

***Our Amended Charter provides that the doctrine of "corporate opportunity" does not apply with respect to any directors (or their affiliates) who are not our employees.***

Our Amended Charter provides that the doctrine of "corporate opportunity" does not apply with respect to any director (or their respective affiliates) who is not employed by us or our subsidiaries. The doctrine of corporate opportunity generally provides that a corporate fiduciary may not develop an opportunity using corporate resources or information obtained in their corporate capacity for their personal advantage, acquire an interest adverse to that of the corporation or acquire property that is reasonably incident to the present or prospective business of the corporation or in which the corporation has a present or expectancy interest, unless that opportunity is first presented to the corporation and the corporation chooses not to pursue that opportunity. The doctrine of corporate opportunity is intended to preclude officers, directors or other fiduciaries from personally benefiting from opportunities that belong to the corporation. Pursuant to our Amended Charter, to the extent permitted by Delaware law, we renounce any present or expectancy interest that we have in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities that are from time to time presented to our directors, or their respective affiliates (other than those who are employed by us or our subsidiaries). Any directors, or their respective affiliates, other than those directors, or affiliates who are employed by us or our subsidiaries, have no duty to communicate or present corporate opportunities to us, and have the right to either hold any corporate opportunity for their (and their affiliates') own account and benefit or to recommend, assign or otherwise transfer such corporate opportunity to persons other than us, including to any directors, or their respective affiliates (other than those who are employed by us or our subsidiaries). Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to our Amended Charter, we do not renounce our present or expectancy interest in any business opportunity that is expressly offered to a director, executive officer or employee of us or our subsidiaries, solely in his/her capacity as a director, executive officer or employee.

***The effects of climate change and related regulatory, customer and investor responses may adversely impact our business.***

Our corporate offices, fulfillment centers and facilities of our brand and manufacturing partners are subject to risks relating to climate change and other environmental impacts. For example, the physical effects of climate change, such as more intense, prolonged, and/or frequent severe weather events, natural disasters and/or significant changes in climate patterns or temperatures, may result in facility damage, supply chain interruptions (including but not limited to challenges regarding the availability and quality of water and raw materials), changes in the availability and/or cost of insurance, as well as other adverse impacts. Similarly, our carbon emissions and our business' overall impact on the environment could subject us to reputational, market and/or regulatory risks and could result in changes in consumer preferences. Climate change and other environmental concerns may cause social, economic and physical disruptions in the places where we operate, including disruptions to our supply chain and to local infrastructure and transportation systems which could limit material availability and quality, disrupt our data management and communications systems, increase product costs, impact our ability to ship and deliver products, prevent access to our physical locations and negatively impact the economy, consumer confidence and discretionary spending. In addition, implementing changes to mitigate these risks may result in substantial short- and long-term additional operational expenses, which may materially affect our profitability.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments**

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity**

***Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy***

We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes a cybersecurity incident response plan.

We design and assess our program based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF). This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the NIST CSF as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. Our cybersecurity risk management program is managed separately from our other risk management programs.

Key elements of our cybersecurity risk management program include but are not limited to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems and information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a security team principally responsible for managing our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, our security controls, and our response to cybersecurity incidents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a risk management process for certain third-party service providers, suppliers, and vendors based on, among other things, their criticality to our operations, access to RTR data, cybersecurity risk profile, and business requirements.

We describe whether and how risks from identified cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, under the headings: "Any significant technology disruption or failure, cyberattack or data security incident could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operations.", "Our business relies on third-party cloud infrastructures, and any disruption of, or interference with, our use of cloud infrastructures could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.", and "Our use of AI may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, operational or other challenges." included as part of our risk factor disclosures in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***Cybersecurity Governance***

Our full Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and oversees management's implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. The Board receives quarterly reports from management on cybersecurity risks. In addition, management is responsible for updating the Board, where it deems appropriate, regarding any cybersecurity incidents it considers to be significant.

Our SVP, Engineering and our VP, Technology & CISO are the members of our management team who are primarily responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. Their team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and they supervise our internal cybersecurity personnel and our external cybersecurity consultants. Our management team has deep expertise in e-commerce and consumer retail. In addition, our VP, Technology & CISO's experience includes developing secure products as well as head of security and CISO positions at both public and private companies.

Under the supervision of our SVP, Engineering and our VP, Technology & CISO, the security team takes steps to stay informed about and monitor efforts to prevent, detect and respond to, as well as recovery and remediation efforts with respect to cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us and participants in our vulnerability disclosure program; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in our IT environment. The security team, under the leadership of the SVP, Engineering and VP, Technology & CISO, meet periodically to review the status of the cybersecurity program, including, as applicable, the status of regularly monitored cybersecurity benchmarks, responses to external or internal incidence or intelligence, oversight of third-party vendors, and progress against discrete program goals. Trends in risks, risk mitigations, long-term progress against program goals, and discrete intelligence or incidents discussed in these meetings are then shared in periodic cybersecurity reports to the Board.

**Item 2. Properties**

Our corporate headquarters is located in Brooklyn, New York under a lease that expires in November 2032. This lease consists of approximately 71,000 square feet of space, of which we sublease (or have available to sublease) approximately 47,000 square feet to other parties. We also lease and operate two fulfillment centers in Secaucus, New Jersey and Arlington, Texas under leases that expire in August 2029 and May 2030, respectively. We also lease commercial spaces in New York City and Galway, Ireland.

We believe our facilities are suitable for our current needs. We intend to expand our facilities or add new facilities as we grow and believe that suitable additional or alternative space will be available as needed to accommodate such growth.

**Overview**

We give customers ongoing access to our "unlimited closet" — with thousands of styles by hundreds of designer brands — through our Subscription offering or the ability to rent a-la-carte through our Reserve offering. We also give our subscribers and customers the ability to buy our products through our Resale offering, which offers customers pre-loved styles from our closet at a discount to retail price, up to 90% off of designer retail value. These offerings allow us to engage and serve our subscribers and customers across diverse use cases from everyday life to special occasions. We have served approximately 3.5 million lifetime customers across all of our offerings and we had 183,552 ending Total Subscribers<sup>2</sup> (active and paused) as of January 31, 2026. We had 143,796 Active Subscribers as of January 31, 2026. The majority of our revenue is highly recurring and is generated by our subscribers. For the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, 90% and 88% of our total revenue (including Reserve and Resale revenue) was generated by subscribers while they were active or paused.

The variety, breadth and quantity of products we carry is important to our business, and we strategically manage the capital efficient acquisition of a high volume of items every year. We have successfully disproved the myth that fashion apparel items and accessories only last one season as we are able to rent or "turn" our products multiple times over many years. We price our rental items at a fraction of their retail or comparable value, creating an attractive price and value proposition for our subscribers and customers.

We source virtually all of our products, which includes apparel and accessories, directly from, or in partnership with, designer brands. Prior to 2018, we purchased nearly all of our products from our brand partners typically at a discount to wholesale cost, which we refer to as "Wholesale" items. In late 2018, we began to procure products through Share by RTR and Exclusive Designs. See "—Our Product Acquisition Strategy" below for a description of the three ways in which we procure products.

***Key Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Drove Significant Growth in Active Subscriber Base**: Ended Fiscal Year 2025 with 143,796 active subscribers, representing a 20% year-over-year increase. This growth was supported by making our largest ever inventory investment last year, which served as the primary lever to driving substantial improvements in subscriber loyalty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Record levels of Customer Satisfaction:** Achieved 39% year-over-year growth in Subscription Net Promoter Score for fiscal year 2025, which has more than tripled since 2022

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Achieved Significant Success in Subscription Add-ons**: Fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 add-on revenue grew by 67% year-over-year, increasing from 40% in the third quarter, 24% in the second quarter and 4% in the first quarter. We're aiming to expand on this momentum in 2026 to drive higher revenue per subscriber by expanding membership flexibility, giving her more freedom to get the inventory she wants when she wants it, and higher cross-sell across our offerings.

<sup>2</sup> Ending Total Subscribers represents the number of subscribers with an active or paused membership as of the last day of the period and excludes subscribers who had an active or paused subscription during the period, but ended their subscription prior to the last day of the fiscal period.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Launched RTR Marketplace Pilot**: In March 2026, we began testing a highly curated purchase destination for wardrobe essentials—including shoes, beauty, and basics—to a subset of loyal subscribers with the goal to drive order "attach rates." According to a 2025 customer survey, 86% of respondents expressed interest in purchasing complementary items from Rent the Runway.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Search and Browsing Experience**: We have recently launched a series of improvements that make it easier for our customers to find styles to rent. We have a new search algorithm that we launched in February 2026 that has performed approximately 10% better in subscription conversion rate; in December 2025, we launched a new AI-driven similar styles recommendation across our product detail pages (PDPs) and introduced Quick Hearting, a new way of browsing that now powers 28% of her new hearts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **A Continued Shift to Bold Authenticity in our Marketing Strategy**: In 2025 we changed the way we market by leading with our community first, and as of April 2026, we have over 1,900 creators across our community programs. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, our total social audience was up 15% year-over-year and CGC (customer generated content) grew over 3x year-over-year, primarily driven by creator-led content on Instagram and TikTok. Our "Muse" content engine surpassed 13 million impressions in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 and has since driven 20 million impressions in February and March 2026 alone. In fiscal year 2026, we are allocating a portion of our paid media marketing budget to continue to further scale these community-led, organic, word-of-mouth channels.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Investing in AI-Driven Discovery in Fiscal Year 2026**. We are working to transform the customer experience in 2026 from a traditional e-commerce grid to an AI-powered discovery model. We are focused on building an enhanced discovery platform to allow our customer to better search for inventory by being able to browse in outfit groupings, improve conversational search, and view items in robust PDPs with visual versatility, including seeing the item in motion and in her size. We're also leaning into Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and SEO strategies with a goal of ensuring that Rent the Runway is the top destination for discovery online.

***Key Operating and Financial Results.*** We have achieved the following operating and financial results for the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue was $329.8 million and $306.2 million, respectively, representing 7.7% growth year-over-year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 143,796 and 119,778 ending Active Subscribers<sup>3</sup>, respectively, representing a change of 20.1% year-over-year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 143,558 and 132,574 Average Active Subscribers<sup>4</sup>, respectively, representing a change of 8.3% year-over-year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 183,552 and 164,004 ending Total Subscribers (including paused subscribers), respectively, representing a change of 11.9% year-over-year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross Profit was $107.5 million and $115.9 million, respectively, representing a gross margin of 32.6% and 37.9%, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net Income (Loss) was $22.6 million and $(69.9) million, respectively. Net Income (Loss) as a percentage of revenue was 6.9%, and (22.8)%, respectively, and included $0.2 million of restructuring and related charges for the year ended January 31, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA was $24.9 million and $46.9 million, respectively, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 7.6% and 15.3%, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was $3.5 million and $12.9 million, and net cash used in investing activities was $(49.5) million and $(20.1) million, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was $18.6 million and $(0.3) million, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities as a percentage of revenue was 1.1% and 4.2% and net cash used in investing activities as a percentage of revenue was (15.0)% and (6.6)%, respectively; and

<sup>3</sup> Active Subscribers is defined as ending Total Subscribers as of period end, excluding paused subscribers.

<sup>4</sup> Average Active Subscribers represents the mean of the beginning of quarter and end of quarter Active Subscribers for a quarterly period; and for other periods, represents the mean of the Average Active Subscribers of every quarter within that period.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash and Cash Equivalents was $50.4 million and $77.4 million, respectively.

**Our Product Acquisition Strategy**

We acquire and monetize products in three ways: Wholesale, Share by RTR and Exclusive Designs. These three product acquisition methods are strategic levers to manage our capital efficiency, profitability and product risk. Our Exclusive Designs channel partners with brands to acquire RTR-exclusive items at a lower cost, which are designed to generate higher profitability over time. Share by RTR meaningfully reduces our upfront purchases of rental product and de-risks our investment since we pay brands primarily based on item performance. Our Share by RTR arrangements with brands target delivering 75% to 100% of comparable Wholesale cost to the brand in the first twelve to eighteen months; however there is no minimum commitment other than the upfront payment, if applicable. Nearly all Share by RTR deals consummated after September 2020 include a cap on total potential payments to the brand partner.

The chart below summarizes the percentage of new items acquired via each method. In total, approximately 69% of new items were acquired through the more capital-efficient channels in fiscal year 2025, approximately 70% in fiscal year 2024 and approximately 61% in fiscal year 2023. Both our purchasing power and the diversification into Share by RTR and Exclusive Designs have led to a decrease in rental product capital expenditures (or Purchases of Rental Product as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) as a percentage of revenue over time. We aim to acquire approximately the same quantity of rental product year-over-year in fiscal year 2026; however, we expect the total percentage of units acquired through our more capital-efficient channels to increase in fiscal year 2026 versus fiscal year 2025, with an increase in the percentage of units acquired through our Share by RTR program versus fiscal year 2025. We plan to further decrease the percentage of units acquired through Wholesale and increase the percentage of units acquired through our more capital-efficient channels over the longer term. We expect to incur lower capital expenditures for purchases of rental product in fiscal year 2026 relative to fiscal year 2025 due to a greater proportion of rental product acquired through our Share by RTR program in fiscal year 2026.

**Key Factors Affecting Our Performance**

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a variety of factors that present significant opportunities for our business, but also present risks and challenges that could adversely impact our growth and profitability.

***Subscribers and Customers***

***Ability to Attract and Retain Subscribers and Customers and Our Attractive Cohort Trends.*** We believe that we have a significant market opportunity to increase our base of subscribers and customers, and that our long-term growth depends in large part on our continued ability to acquire and retain subscribers and customers.

We provide a flexible offering that allows our subscribers to customize their subscription as their everyday life changes, choosing to pause and reactivate their membership as needed. We have also historically seen that many subscribers who cancel their subscription will return and resubscribe when membership again makes sense for their everyday life. Customer acquisition is dependent on organic growth, the effectiveness of our paid marketing strategy and the availability of and satisfaction with our rental product. We are focused on our community-driven organic growth marketing strategy that is intended to drive improved brand awareness and acquisition. Our acquisitions are also reliant on new customer promotions. Our promotional strategy is subject to change depending on business and market conditions.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

We believe customer retention plays an important role in driving business growth. Customer retention is influenced by a number of factors, including rental product in-stock levels and satisfaction, product experience, and customer service levels. In fiscal year 2025, we approximately doubled the quantity of our rental product acquisitions year-over-year and enhanced the desirability of rental product acquisitions, which we believe increased customer satisfaction and improved retention versus fiscal year 2024. We also focused on new product features as well as a more personalized customer experience. In fiscal year 2026, we expect to continue to make efforts to increase customer retention through improved customer experience with our rental product as well as new product features.

We partly assess the health of our business by analyzing the performance of our historical customer cohorts over time. We place customers in cohorts based on the fiscal year in which they first transacted with RTR. A significant portion of our total revenue in each fiscal year is generated from customers acquired in previous years. For example, approximately one-third of our revenue in fiscal year 2025 was generated by customers who placed their first order with us in fiscal year 2018 or prior.

We also assess the productivity of our historical customer cohorts by measuring the revenue and profit we generate from all new customers over their lifetime ("LTV") against customer acquisition costs ("CAC"). We define LTV as cumulative total revenue generated across all of our product offerings (which includes Subscription and Reserve Rental Revenue and Other Revenue) by current or previous subscribers or customers, minus fulfillment expenses, rental product depreciation and revenue share expenses, credit card fees and customer service personnel and related expenses incurred to generate such revenue divided by the number of new customers acquired during that period. Any LTV generated by a customer is assigned to the original cohort year that the customer first joined. We define CAC as total marketing expense, excluding marketing personnel and related costs incurred in a fiscal year divided by the number of new customers acquired in that period. We acquire customers efficiently as evidenced by over a majority of our lifetime customers having joined organically.

As seen in the table below, our LTV to CAC ratio has remained relatively consistent for our fiscal year 2018 through fiscal year 2025 customer cohorts, with the exception of our fiscal year 2020 cohort which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The fiscal year 2021 cohort, which benefited from strong loyalty post-recovery from the pandemic, exhibited an LTV to CAC ratio of 0.7x in its first six months and 1.3x in its first twelve months, implying that we recovered our customer acquisition cost between six months and twelve months for this cohort. Our fiscal year 2025 cohort thus far is exhibiting an LTV to CAC ratio of 0.3x in its first six months, down slightly from recent years due to the impact of the company's decision to significantly increase the quantity and quality of rental product available to customers. We anticipate that the improvement in customer retention due to the greater satisfaction with our rental product, the impact of the company's August 2025 Subscription price increase, and anticipated product experience improvements will benefit the lifetime value of our customer cohorts. The performance of our historical cohorts has been consistent as our more loyal customers continue to spend with us.

***Brands and Products***

***Ability to Acquire, Manage and Monetize Products Efficiently.*** Our ability to deliver an elevated experience for our subscribers and customers that keeps them loyal to RTR depends on us having the right assortment. Due to our deep partnerships with brands, flexibility in our buying timelines and ability to react to advantageous retail purchasing environments, we can acquire products directly from brands in multiple cost effective ways. Our expertise in reverse logistics and garment restoration also provides us with the ability to monetize our products effectively over their useful life. Diversifying our product acquisition away from 100% Wholesale has driven higher overall product return on investment and reduced the capital needs of the business. In fiscal year 2025, approximately 69% of new items were acquired through our more capital efficient non-Wholesale channels, compared to 70% in fiscal year 2024 and 61% in fiscal year 2023. We plan to further increase the percentage of units acquired through Exclusive Designs and Share by RTR on a combined basis in fiscal year 2026. We continuously evaluate our product acquisition mix to maximize our strategic priorities.

Purchases of rental product includes the cost of Wholesale products acquired in the period and other ancillary costs such as freight, where applicable. Many factors impact the purchases of rental product including our depth and acquisition mix strategy, the proportion of subscribers to total customers, timing of when those subscribers are acquired, the formality of styles, brand assortment, opportunities in the market and timing of when the rental product is received and paid for. Purchases of rental product as a percentage of revenue in fiscal year 2025 increased to 23% from 16% in fiscal year 2024, despite higher Share by RTR units as a percentage of total receipts, as a result of our strategy to approximately double the quantity of rental product purchases versus fiscal year 2024. Purchases of rental product as a percentage of revenue was 16% and 26% in fiscal year 2024 and 2023, respectively. We anticipate this percentage to decrease in fiscal year 2026 compared with fiscal year 2025 due to an increase in the proportion of units acquired through our Share by RTR channel. Due to seasonality factors, we track our progress on purchases of rental product as a percentage of revenue on a full year basis, as quarterly expenditures are not necessarily reflective of full year trends. As of January 31, 2026, the quarterly and annual spend levels for rental product capital expenditures for fiscal year 2025 under our 2025 Amended Facility were eliminated under the Fourteenth Amendment to the debt facility.

***Ability to Achieve Leverage in our Cost Structure.*** Improving operational efficiency of our platform is imperative to increasing profitability. We expect certain of our operating costs to increase as order volume increases and as we make investments to grow subscribers and revenue and to enhance the customer experience. In January 2024, we announced a restructuring plan that generated total annual operating expense savings of approximately $12 million, which primarily included the reduction in force, with some open role closures/reduced backfills, and excludes potential hiring of new employees or other additions to the Company's costs and expenses. Though we anticipate quarterly fluctuations in operating leverage over time we anticipate that our operating costs will grow more slowly than our total revenue on an annual basis.

We use technology and customer data to drive efficiency across products, fulfillment expenses and operating costs. Our data has allowed us to build a differentiated and proprietary rental reverse logistics platform with a vertically integrated cleaning and restoration process. We have invested in technology and automation in order to drive operating leverage and higher margins as we focus on growing and scaling our business.

Over time, we have improved our margins, profitability and cash flow, and we believe we will continue to benefit from economies of scale. We are focused on driving additional efficiencies in our operating expenses and growing profitability to also cover rental product depreciation, in addition to fulfillment, revenue share and operating expenses.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage of our business prior to capital expenditures. We also measure the cash consumption of the business including capital expenditures by assessing net cash used in operating activities and net cash used in investing activities on a combined basis. See also "Note 3 — Liquidity" and "Note 4 — Recapitalization Transactions" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details regarding our 2025 Amended Facility and Recapitalization Transactions, which we expect to improve our overall liquidity.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

**Seasonality**

For our Subscription rentals, we typically acquire the highest number of subscribers in March through May and September through November, as these are the times customers naturally think about changing over their wardrobes. We generally see a higher rate of subscribers pause in the summer, and in December and January. From time to time, our seasonality patterns have been impacted due to the effects of COVID-19, the macro environment, and business decisions and may in the future continue to evolve and not reflect historical trends. Examples of business decisions that have impacted seasonality in prior periods include, but are not limited to, changes in prices for our Subscription programs, changes in timing and amounts of promotional spending, changes in timing and amounts of paid marketing spending, and changes in timing and quantity of rental product availability. It is difficult to predict all of relevant reasons and ways that seasonality trends could change in the future.

We also experience seasonality in the timing of expenses and capital outlays. Transportation expense, and therefore fulfillment cost, is typically highest in the fourth fiscal quarter, given typical timing of carrier rate increases, higher service levels, such as more costly and expedited shipping, and competition during holidays. Our most significant receipt of rental product typically occurs in the first fiscal quarter and the third fiscal quarter, when we acquire product for the upcoming fall and spring seasons.

For additional information, see the section of Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors — Risks Related To Our Business and Industry — Our business is affected by seasonality."

**Impact of Macro and Consumer Environment on Our Business**

There remains significant uncertainty in the current macroeconomic and consumer environment, driven by several factors, including inflationary pressures, global trade policies and tariffs, higher interest rates, potential risk of recession, ongoing industry-wide supply chain issues, instability in the financial system, and the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. These factors have impacted, and are expected to continue to impact, consumer discretionary spending and purchasing behavior, price sensitivity, wage rates, transportation costs, rental product costs, and other costs associated with our business.

We continue to review and learn how changes in customer behavior post the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business and demand, particularly in a challenging macro environment. We believe that Active Subscriber levels have been impacted by seasonal changes in consumer behavior and macro factors, such as higher levels of remote work and evolving demand for work wear, inflationary pressures and sensitivity to increased pricing, or other factors, and may continue to be impacted by these factors in the future.

We continue to take actions to adjust to the changing business environment and related inflationary pressure. For example, we increased wage rates during the first quarter of fiscal years 2025 and 2026 to attract and retain talent at our fulfillment centers. We expect to continue to be impacted by rising labor costs in the future. In addition, we implemented a price increase for our subscription plans in August 2025 and expect to implement pricing increases and/or new or additional fees in the future if costs continue to rise. We aim to continue to mitigate longer-term rising costs through a variety of methods, including by seeking to optimize shipping methods and improve contractual and pricing terms. However, the global trade environment is unpredictable and evolving and macroeconomic or geopolitical developments have in the past and, may in the future, negatively impact our ability to meet our current expectations and objectives, including due to unfavorable policies and tariffs, and rising shipping costs. In addition, steps we take may not fully mitigate rising costs. For example, the conflict in the Middle East has led to fuel surcharges that have increased our shipping costs, which are likely to continue to increase if the conflict continues. As a result, it is also difficult to predict what transportation costs as a percentage of Revenue will be in fiscal year 2026. Although we continue to face a challenging and unpredictable environment, we plan to invest in our customers, manage our staffing, and further leverage our transportation partners to help to drive growth and efficiencies in our business.

The full extent to which the macro environment will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations, growth rates, and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. Given this uncertainty, we cannot estimate the financial impact of the macro environment on our future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. For additional details, see Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Key Business and Financial Metrics**

In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements, we use the following key business and financial metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions. The calculation of the key business and financial metrics discussed below may differ from similarly titled metrics used by other companies, securities analysts or investors, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. These key business and financial metrics are not meant to be considered as indicators of our financial performance in isolation from or as a substitute for, our financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and should be considered in conjunction with other metrics and components of our results of operations, such as each of the other key business and financial metrics, and our revenue and net income (loss).

__________

(1)Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure; for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), and why we consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful metric, see "—Non-GAAP Financial Metrics" below.

**Active Subscribers**: Active Subscribers represents the number of subscribers with an active membership as of the last day of any given period and excludes paused subscribers. As of January 31, 2026, we had 143,796 Active Subscribers, an increase from 119,778 as of January 31, 2025. The increase in Active Subscribers was driven primarily by higher subscriber acquisitions versus fiscal year 2024, driven in part by higher promotional activity, and by improved subscriber retention versus fiscal year 2024. We expect Active Subscribers to grow year-over-year in fiscal year 2026.

**Average Active Subscribers:** Average Active Subscribers represents the mean of the beginning of quarter and end of quarter Active Subscribers for a quarterly period; and for other periods, represents the mean of the Average Active Subscribers of every quarter within that period. As of January 31, 2026, we had 143,558 Average Active Subscribers, an increase from 132,574 as of January 31, 2025. The year-over-year increase in Average Active Subscribers was primarily due to higher subscriber acquisitions versus fiscal year 2024, driven in part by higher promotional activity, and by improved subscriber retention versus fiscal year 2024.

**Gross Profit and Gross Margin:** We define Gross Profit as total revenue less costs related to activities to fulfill customer orders and rental product acquisition costs, presented as fulfillment and rental product depreciation and revenue share, respectively, on the consolidated statement of operations. We depreciate owned apparel assets over three years and owned accessory assets over two years net of 20% and 30% salvage values, respectively, and recognize the depreciation on a straight-line basis and remaining cost of items when sold or retired on our consolidated statement of operations. Rental product depreciation expense is time-based and reflects all rental product items we own. We use Gross Profit and Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue, or Gross Margin, to measure the continued efficiency of our business after the cost of our products and fulfillment costs are included.

Gross Profit was $107.5 million for the year ended January 31, 2026 compared to $115.9 million for the year ended January 31, 2025 representing Gross Margins of 32.6% and 37.9%, respectively. Gross Profit for the year ended January 31, 2026 decreased primarily due to higher Revenue share costs and higher Fulfillment expenses partially offset by higher Revenue and lower Rental Product depreciation and write-off costs. Gross Margin for the year ended January 31, 2026 decreased primarily due to the impact of higher Revenue share costs as a percentage of Revenue, partially offset by lower Rental product depreciation and write-off costs as a percentage of Revenue and lower Fulfillment costs as a percentage of Revenue.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

**Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin:** We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude interest expense, rental product depreciation, other depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, write-off of liquidated assets, non-recurring adjustments, non-ordinary course legal expenses, restructuring charges, loss on asset impairment related to restructuring, Gain on Debt Restructuring, income tax (benefit) expense, other income and expense, and other gains / losses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA calculated as a percentage of total revenue, net for a period.

Net Income (Loss) was $22.6 million for the year ended January 31, 2026 compared to $(69.9) million for the year ended January 31, 2025, representing margins of 6.9% and (22.8)%, respectively. Net Loss, excluding the Gain on Debt Restructuring as a result of the recapitalization transactions, increased year-over-year primarily due to lower Gross Profit, higher Technology costs, higher Interest Expense and higher G&A expenses, partially offset by lower Other Depreciation and Amortization expenses and lower Marketing costs. Adjusted EBITDA was $24.9 million for the year ended January 31, 2026 compared to $46.9 million for the year ended January 31, 2025, representing margins of 7.6% and 15.3%, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA decreased year-over-year primarily due to lower Gross Profit, higher Technology costs, and higher General & Administrative costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased year-over-year primarily due to lower Gross Margins, higher Technology costs as a percentage of Revenue partially offset by lower Marketing costs as a percentage of Revenue and lower General & Administrative costs as a percentage of Revenue.

We believe we have the opportunity to improve Adjusted EBITDA and offset cost increases as we increase Revenue and drive operating expense leverage.

**Components of Results of Operations**

***Total Revenue, Net.*** Our total revenue, net consists of Subscription and Reserve rental revenue and Other revenue. Total revenue is presented net of promotional discounts, credits and refunds and taxes.

***Subscription and Reserve Rental Revenue.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We generate Subscription and Reserve rental revenue from Subscription and Reserve rental fees. The majority of our revenue is generated by our Subscription offering, which we are prioritizing. We recognize subscription fees ratably over the subscription period, commencing on the date the subscriber enrolls in a subscription program. These fees are collected upon enrollment and any revenue from an unrecognized portion of the subscription period is deferred to the following fiscal period. We implemented a price increase for our subscription plans in August 2025, which increased revenue per subscriber in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 and which we expect will continue to do so over the coming quarters. We recognize Reserve fees over the rental period, which starts on the date of delivery of the product to the customer. Reserve orders can be placed up to four months prior to the rental start date (increased from two months prior to the rental start date beginning in June 2024) and the customer's payment form is charged upon order confirmation. We defer recognizing the rental fees and any related promotions for Reserve rentals until the date of delivery, and then recognize those fees evenly over the four- or eight-day rental period.

***Other Revenue.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We generate Other revenue primarily from the sale of products while they are in rental condition. We offer the ability for subscribers and customers to purchase products at a discount to retail price. Payment for the sale of products occurs upon order confirmation while the associated revenue is recognized either at the time the sold product is delivered or when purchased, if the item is already at home with the customer. From time to time, Other revenue may include revenue generated from pilots and other growth and business development initiatives which may cause quarterly fluctuations in the Other revenue line.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

***Costs and Expenses***

***Fulfillment.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Fulfillment expenses consist of all costs to receive, process and fulfill customer orders. This primarily includes shipping costs to/from customers and personnel and related costs, which include salaries and bonuses, and employee benefit costs. Personnel and related costs are related to processing inbound and outbound customer orders, cleaning, restoring and repairing items received from customers, tracking and managing items within our fulfillment center network and ingesting new items received from brands. Fulfillment expenses also include costs of packing materials, cleaning supplies, and other fulfillment-related expenses. Fulfillment expense may fluctuate due to various factors including commercial terms and market trends. Fulfillment expense may also increase due to competitive pressures in the labor market which could lead to continued higher wage rates. We expect to continue to invest in automation and other process improvements to support and drive efficiencies in our operations. To the extent we are successful in becoming more efficient in fulfilling orders, and at a magnitude that is able to offset long-term increases in shipping costs, wage rates and cleaning/packing supply price increases, we would expect these expenses to decrease as a percentage of total revenue over the longer term.

***Technology.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Technology expenses consist of personnel and related costs for employees engaged in software development and engineering, quality assurance, product, customer experience, data science, analytics and information technology-related efforts, net of personnel costs associated with capitalized software. Technology expenses also include professional services, third-party hosting expenses, website monitoring costs, and software and license fees. Over the long term, these expenses may increase (in total dollars) as we continue to improve the customer and subscriber experience and invest in our technology stack and infrastructure to support overall growth in our business. While these expenses may vary from period to period as a percentage of total revenue, we expect them to decrease as a percentage of total revenue over the longer term.

***Marketing.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marketing expenses include online and mobile marketing, search engine optimization and email costs, marketing personnel and related costs, agency fees, brand marketing, influencer marketing, printed collateral, consumer research, and other related costs. Marketing expenses unrelated to personnel costs may increase if we increase marketing spend to drive the growth of our business and increase our brand awareness.

***General and Administrative.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;General and administrative ("G&A") expenses consist of all other personnel and related costs for customer service, finance, tax, legal, human resources, fashion and photography and fixed operations costs. General and administrative expenses also include occupancy costs (including warehouse-related), professional services, credit card fees, general corporate and warehouse expenses, other administrative costs, and gains and losses associated with asset disposals and operating lease terminations. Over the longer term, these expenses may increase as we grow our infrastructure to support the overall growth of the business. Rent expense and other facilities-related costs may increase in the future due to inflation or to support overall business growth and fulfillment efficiencies. While these expenses may vary from period to period as a percentage of total revenue, we expect them to decrease as a percentage of total revenue over the longer term.

***Rental Product Depreciation and Revenue Share.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rental product depreciation and revenue share expenses consist of depreciation and write-offs of rental products, and payments under revenue share arrangements with brand partners. We depreciate the cost, less an estimated salvage value, of our owned products (Wholesale and Exclusive Designs items), over the estimated useful lives of these items and, if applicable, accelerate depreciation of the items when they are no longer in rental condition. We recognize the cost of items acquired under Share by RTR, as incurred, through upfront payments and performance-based revenue share payments. We expect rental product depreciation and revenue share expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to support subscriber and customer growth. The amount and proportion of rental product depreciation and revenue share will vary from period to period based on how and when we acquire items as well as the mix of our rental product base.

***Other Depreciation and Amortization.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation and amortization amounts for fixed assets, intangible assets including capitalized software, and financing right-of-use assets.

***Restructuring Charges***. Restructuring charges consist of severance and related costs associated with the January 2024 restructuring plan.

***Gain on Debt Restructuring***. Gain on Debt Restructuring consists of the gain recognized on the troubled debt restructuring from the Recapitalization Transactions completed in October 2025.

***Interest Income / (Expense).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Interest income / (expense) consists primarily of accrued paid-in-kind interest, cash interest and debt issuance cost amortization associated with our 2025 Amended Facility going forward. The 2023 Amended Temasek Facility eliminated all interest (both payment-in-kind and cash interest) for a period of six full fiscal quarters beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.

***Other Income / (Expense).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Other income / (expense) consists primarily of proceeds from monetizing tax credits associated with growth and Irish refundable tax credits.

***Income Tax Benefit / (Expense).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Income taxes consist primarily of state minimum and foreign taxes. We have established a valuation allowance for our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, including net operating losses. We expect to maintain this valuation allowance until it becomes more likely than not that the benefit of our federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized by way of expected future taxable income in the United States.

***Comparison of the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025***

***Total Revenue, Net.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total revenue, net was $329.8 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, an increase of $23.6 million, or 7.7%, compared to $306.2 million for the year ended January 31, 2025. This increase was driven by higher Subscription and Reserve rental revenue and higher Other revenue. In fiscal year 2026, we expect revenue to increase due to higher Subscription prices and a larger subscription customer base due to a particular focus on increasing our Active Subscribers year-over-year.

***Subscription and Reserve Rental Revenue.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subscription and Reserve rental revenue was $286.0 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, an increase of $20.5 million, or 7.7%, compared to $265.5 million for the year ended January 31, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by higher average active subscribers and higher revenue per subscriber, partially offset by lower Reserve rental revenue.

***Other Revenue.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other revenue was $43.8 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, an increase of $3.1 million, or 7.6%, compared to $40.7 million for the year ended January 31, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by higher Average Active Subscribers and higher average selling price per item, partially offset by lower items purchased per average subscriber. Other revenue represented 13.3% of total revenue, compared to 13.3% in the same period last year.

***Costs and Expenses.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total costs and expenses were $387.3 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, an increase of $33.6 million, or 9.5%, compared to $353.7 million for the year ended January 31, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by higher Revenue Share costs, higher Fulfillment costs, higher Technology costs and higher G&A costs. The increase was partially offset by lower Rental Product Depreciation and Write-Off expense, lower Other Depreciation and Amortization expense and lower Marketing costs.

***Fulfillment.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fulfillment expenses were $88.5 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, an increase of $5.7 million, or 6.9%, representing 26.8% of revenue, compared to $82.8 million for the year ended January 31, 2025, representing 27.0% of revenue. The increase in fulfillment dollars was primarily driven by higher transportation costs due to carrier rate increases, increases in warehouse processing costs, and an increase in orders due to higher average active subscribers. Fulfillment costs decreased as a percentage of revenue due primarily to higher revenue per order partially offset by higher transportation and processing costs per order.

For fiscal year 2026, it is difficult to predict fulfillment costs as a percentage of Revenue.

***Technology.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Technology expenses were $39.3 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, an increase of $3.6 million, or 10.1%, compared to $35.7 million for the year ended January 31, 2025. Technology expenses were 11.9% of revenue for the year ended January 31, 2026 compared to 11.7% for the same period last year due to higher technology related employee costs. Technology related share-based compensation expense was $0.8 million for the year ended January 31, 2026 and was $1.9 million for the same period last year.

In fiscal year 2026, we expect technology expenses to decrease as a percentage of total revenue compared to fiscal year 2025.

***Marketing.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marketing expenses were $27.0 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, a decrease of $(1.2) million, or (4.3)%, compared to $28.2 million for the year ended January 31, 2025. This decrease was driven primarily by lower brand marketing expenses and lower marketing consulting costs. Marketing expenses unrelated to personnel costs were $24.0 million in the year ended January 31, 2026 and 7.3% of revenue, compared to $25.4 million and 8.3% of total revenue for the same period last year.

In fiscal year 2026, we expect marketing expenses to increase in dollars but decrease as a percentage of total revenue compared to fiscal year 2025. The timing of our marketing expenses during the year will depend in part on the timing of marketing campaigns.

***General and Administrative.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;General and administrative ("G&A") expenses were $88.8 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, an increase of $2.0 million, or 2.3%, compared to $86.8 million for the year ended January 31, 2025. This increase was driven primarily by transaction related expenses and an increase in tax partially offset by lower share-based compensation expense and a decrease in occupancy costs. G&A expenses as a percentage of revenue were 26.9%, compared to 28.3% last year, as we saw increased operating leverage. G&A related share-based compensation expense was $3.4 million for the year ended January 31, 2026 and was $7.7 million for the year ended January 31, 2025.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

In fiscal year 2026, we expect G&A expenses to decrease as a percentage of total revenue compared to fiscal year 2025.

***Rental Product Depreciation and Revenue Share.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Rental product depreciation and revenue share was $133.8 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, an increase of $26.3 million, or 24.5%, compared to $107.5 million for the year ended January 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenue share expenses due to higher Share by RTR units acquired partially offset by lower rental product depreciation expenses. Rental product depreciation and revenue share was 40.6% of revenue in the year ended January 31, 2026, up from 35.1% in the same period last year primarily due to the factors discussed above.

***Other Depreciation and Amortization.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other depreciation and amortization was $9.9 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, a decrease of $(2.6) million, or (20.8)%, compared to $12.5 million for the year ended January 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by lower depreciation and amortization associated with machinery and equipment.

***Restructuring Charges***. Restructuring charges were $0.2 million for the year ended January 31, 2025 for severance and related costs in connection with the January 2024 restructuring plan. These charges are reflected in Restructuring charges on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

*Corporate Restructuring Plan*

On January 9, 2024, we announced a restructuring plan to focus our workforce and cost structure on key growth opportunities and support our profitability goals. The plan primarily included total workforce reductions of approximately 10% of corporate employees (primarily a reduction in force, with some open role closures/reduced backfills).

The January 2024 restructuring plan generated total annual operating expense savings of approximately $12 million, which primarily included the reduction in force, with some open role closures/reduced backfills, and excludes potential hiring of new employees or other additions to the Company's costs and expenses. The restructuring plan was completed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

See "Note 5, Restructuring and Related Charges" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details on these charges.

***Gain on Debt Restructuring.*** Gain on Debt Restructuring was $96.3 million for the year ended January 31, 2026. The gain was recognized from the troubled debt restructuring from the Recapitalization Transactions completed in October 2025.

***Interest Income / (Expense), Net.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Interest expense, net was $(20.3) million for the year ended January 31, 2026, a decrease in expense of $3.9 million, or (16.1)%, compared to $(24.2) million for the year ended January 31, 2025. The decrease was was driven by the absence of interest expense following the New Credit Agreement, as the modification of the existing debt, which was part of the October 2025 recapitalization transactions, was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring.. Of the $(20.3) million total interest expense in the year ended January 31, 2026, $3.3 million was debt discount amortization, $(22.2) million was from paid-in-kind interest, and $(1.4) million was the net of interest earned, financing lease and other interest, compared to $2.8 million of net of interest earned, financing lease and other interest and $(27.0) million of debt discount amortization in the year ended January 31, 2025.

***Other Income / (Expense), Net.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other income / (expense), net was $4.2 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, an increase of $2.1 million, compared to $2.1 million for the year ended January 31, 2025.

**Non-GAAP Financial Metrics**

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial metrics are useful in evaluating our performance. These non-GAAP financial metrics are not meant to be considered as indicators of our financial performance in isolation from, or as a substitute, for our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial metrics presented in this Annual Report. For example, our non-GAAP financial metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial metrics differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

The reconciliation of the below non-GAAP financial metrics to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is presented below. We encourage reviewing the reconciliation in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial metrics for each of the periods presented. In future periods, we may exclude similar items, may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items, and may include other expenses, costs and non-recurring items.

***Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are key performance measures used by management to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage of our business prior to capital expenditures. Net Income (Loss) was $22.6 million for the year ended January 31, 2026 compared to $(69.9) million for the year ended January 31, 2025, Net Income (Loss) as a percentage of revenue was 6.9%, and (22.8)%, respectively, and included $0.2 million of restructuring and related charges for the year ended January 31, 2025.

Net Income for the year ended January 31, 2026 increased year-over-year primarily due to the impact of the Gain on Debt Restructuring as a result of the recapitalization. Net Loss for the year ended January 31, 2026, excluding the Gain on Debt Restructuring as a result of the recapitalization transactions, increased year-over-year primarily due to lower Gross Profit, higher Technology costs, higher Interest Expense and higher G&A expenses, partially offset by lower Other Depreciation and Amortization expenses and lower Marketing costs.

Our Adjusted EBITDA was $24.9 million for the year ended January 31, 2026 compared to $46.9 million for the year ended January 31, 2025, representing margins of 7.6% and 15.3%, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA decreased year-over-year primarily due to lower Gross Profit, higher Technology costs, and higher General & Administrative costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased year-over-year primarily due to lower Gross Margins, partially offset by lower Marketing costs as a percentage of Revenue and lower General & Administrative costs as a percentage of Revenue.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

We have reported net income from operations of $22.6 million for the year ended January 31, 2026 due to the recognition of a Gain on Debt Restructuring of $96.3 million. Prior to fiscal year 2025, we incurred significant recurring net losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $(1,100.4) million as of January 31, 2026. We have historically relied upon debt and equity financing to fund our operations. Our cash flows from operations for the year ended January 31, 2026 were $3.5 million. Cash outflows from investing activities were $(49.5) million for the year ended January 31, 2026. As of January 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $50.4 million, restricted cash of $8.7 million, current liabilities of $63.2 million as of January 31, 2026 and $156.6 million of long-term debt that matures in October 2029. We currently expect that our cash and cash equivalents balance will decline in fiscal year 2026 as a result of our business plans and strategy to continue to invest in improving the experience of our customers.

On October 28, 2025, we completed recapitalization transactions to enhance our financial position and financial flexibility by significantly reducing our existing indebtedness, improving our borrowing rate and extending the maturity of our remaining indebtedness (the "Recapitalization Transactions"). Under the terms of the Recapitalization Transactions, we entered into the New Credit Agreement. The Lender exchanged $100 million of existing outstanding indebtedness on a dollar-for-dollar cashless basis for new term loans under the New Credit Agreement and exchanged the remaining indebtedness for 26,175,193 newly issued shares of our Class A Common Stock. The Investor Group also provided an additional $20 million of new term loans under the New Credit Agreement, resulting in a total aggregate principal amount of $120 million. Our minimum liquidity maintenance covenant was also reduced from $30 million to $15 million until February 20, 2027 prior to its removal pursuant to the First Amendment to the New Credit Agreement on January 28, 2026 (the "First Amendment"). We also received $12.5 million in proceeds from a concurrent rights offering. On April 1, 2026, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the New Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment"). The Second Amendment provides the Company with the ability to capitalize interest in lieu of cash payments until May 3, 2027.

For a description of the terms of our current and prior credit agreements, see "Note 9 – Long-Term Debt" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On May 28, 2024, we filed a "shelf" registration statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-279757) with the SEC, which was declared effective on June 6, 2024. This shelf registration statement, which includes a base prospectus, allows us at any time to offer any combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings for our own account in an aggregate amount up to $40 million. The Form S-3 is intended to provide us flexibility to conduct registered sales of our securities, subject to market conditions and our future capital needs. The terms of any future offering under the shelf registration statement will be established at the time of such offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC prior to the completion of any such offering.

The issuance of additional equity, including securities convertible into equity, would result in additional dilution to our stockholders and could reduce the market price of our stock. Preferred stock, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distributions or a preference with respect to dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to negotiate terms acceptable to us or at all. If this occurs, our repayment obligations under the 2025 Amended Facility may be accelerated and we may be unable to meet such obligations. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required, or if we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities because we lack sufficient capital, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows would be adversely affected.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, demand for our business, rental product spend and the timing of investments in technology and personnel to support the overall growth of our business. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, and cash generated from our operations, will be sufficient to sustain our business operations, to satisfy our debt service obligations, and to comply with our debt covenants for at least the next twelve months from the date of this Form 10-K.

***Cash Flows***

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Years Ended January 31,** | **Years Ended January 31,** | **Years Ended January 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** | **2024** |
| | **(in millions)** | **(in millions)** | **(in millions)** |
| Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities | $3.5 | $12.9 | $(15.7) |
| Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities | (49.5) | (20.1) | (54.6) |
| Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | 18.6 | (0.3) | 0.7 |
| Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | (27.4) | (7.5) | (69.6) |
| Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period | 86.5 | 94.0 | 163.6 |
| Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period | $59.1 | $86.5 | $94.0 |

---

We also measure the cash consumption of the business including capital expenditures, by assessing net cash used in operating activities and net cash used in investing activities on a combined basis, which was $(46.0) million for the year ended January 31, 2026 and $(7.2) million for the year ended January 31, 2025. The cash consumption of the business was higher in fiscal year 2025 compared with fiscal year 2024 primarily due to higher purchases of rental product and higher net loss, excluding the Gain on Debt Restructuring, compared to the prior period. The sum of net cash used in operating activities and net cash used in investing activities, as a percentage of revenue, was (13.9)% for the year ended January 31, 2026 and (2.4)% for the year ended January 31, 2025.

**Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities*.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the year ended January 31, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $3.5 million, which consisted of a net income of $22.6 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $(3.8) million, reclassification of the proceeds from the sale of rental product of $28.4 million and a net change of $13.1 million in our operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash items were primarily comprised of a Gain on Debt Restructuring of $96.3 million, $59.5 million of rental product depreciation and write-off expenses, $(3.3) million of debt discount amortization, $9.9 million of other fixed and intangible asset depreciation and $4.2 million of share-based compensation.

For the year ended January 31, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $12.9 million, which consisted of a net loss of $(69.9) million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $115.4 million, reclassification of the proceeds from the sale of rental product of $28.1 million and a net change of $(4.5) million in our operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges were primarily comprised of $65.9 million of rental product depreciation and write-off expenses, $9.7 million of share-based compensation, $12.8 million of other fixed and intangible asset depreciation, and $27.0 million of debt discount amortization.

**Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities*.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the year ended January 31, 2026, net cash used in investing activities was $(49.5) million, primarily consisting of $(75.9) million of purchases of rental product incurred in the period and $(4.6) million of purchases of fixed and intangible assets. The investment in rental product does not include an additional $1.6 million of cost for units received in the current period but not yet paid for, but does include $(2.7) million of cost for units paid for in the current period but received in the prior period (see the Supplemental Cash Flow Information in Part II, Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"). The investment in rental product was to support our rental product strategy. The majority of the investment in fixed and intangible assets was primarily related to machinery and equipment. The cash used in investing activities was partially offset by $28.4 million of proceeds from the sale of owned rental product and $2.6 million of proceeds from the liquidation of rental product.

For the year ended January 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $(20.1) million, primarily consisting of $(49.2) million of purchases of rental product incurred in the period and $(4.4) million of purchases of fixed and intangible assets. The investment in rental product did not include an additional $2.7 million of cost for units received in the current period but not yet paid for, but did include $(1.4) million of cost for units paid for in the current period but received in the prior period (see Supplemental Cash Flow Information in Part II, Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"). The investment in rental product was to support our rental product strategy. The majority of the investment in fixed and intangible assets was primarily related to machinery and equipment. The cash used in investing activities was partially offset by $28.1 million of proceeds from sales of owned rental products and $5.4 million of proceeds from the liquidation of rental product.

**Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities*.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the year ended January 31, 2026, net cash provided by financing activities was $18.6 million, primarily due to net cash proceeds from the recapitalization transactions.

During the year ended January 31, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $(0.3) million, consisting of other financing payments.

**Contractual Obligations and Commitments**

In December 2023, we entered into the 2023 Amended Temasek Facility, which eliminated all interest (both payment-in-kind and cash interest) for a period of six full fiscal quarters beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, reduced the minimum liquidity maintenance covenant from $50 million to $30 million, and provided that we may not exceed mutually agreed upon quarterly and annual spend levels for rental product capital expenditures, fixed operating expenses and marketing expenditures during fiscal year 2024 and to-be-agreed levels for fiscal years 2025 and 2026. The quarterly and annual spend levels for rental product capital, fixed operating, and marketing expenditures for fiscal year 2025 were eliminated under the Fourteenth Amendment to the debt facility. As of January 31, 2026, we had approximately $156.6 million of long-term debt, net, none of which matures within the next 12 months. See "Note 9 — Long-Term Debt" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. In October 2025, the Company completed the previously announced recapitalization transactions to enhance the Company's financial position and financial flexibility by significantly reducing its existing indebtedness, improving its borrowing rate and extending the maturity of its remaining indebtedness. See "Note 4 — Recapitalization Transactions" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. See "Note 6 – Leases – Lessee Accounting" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for our minimum fixed lease obligations under existing lease agreements as of January 31, 2026. See "Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for our minimum purchase commitments for technology services as of January 31, 2026.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates using assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods, as well as related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and any such differences may be material. We believe that the accounting estimates discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates.

***Rental Product***

We consider rental product to be a long-term productive asset and, as such, classify it as a noncurrent asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rental product is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. We depreciate rental product, less salvage value, over the useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Depreciation on rental products is an estimate based on the following assumptions:

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Useful life: our projection of the period over which we can monetize our rental products through our Subscription or Reserve rental offerings

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Salvage value: our projection of the proceeds that can be expected to be generated from rental product once it is no longer considered rentable, expressed as a percentage of the acquisition cost

The useful life is determined based on historical trends and an assessment of any future changes. The salvage value considers the historical trends and projected liquidation proceeds for the assets. A change in the assumption used for useful life or salvage value would either increase or decrease accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheets within Rental product, net and on our Consolidated Statements of Operations within Rental product depreciation and revenue share, respectively. Our historical results and assessment of any future changes continue to support the use of these assumptions.

***Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities***

Right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are measured and recognized at the lease commencement date or lease modification date based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the expected lease term. Because the majority of our leases do not include an implicit discount rate, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate ("IBR"), to determine the present value of future minimum lease payments. The sensitivity of the estimate is due to the judgment used in the determination of the synthetic credit rating and the development of the related benchmark yield curves.

***Share-Based Compensation***

We measure share-based compensation expense for all equity classified awards based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. We estimate grant date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Fair value of common stock.*** Following the closing of our IPO, the fair market value of our common stock is based on the closing price as reported on the date of grant on the Nasdaq Stock Market, on which the Company's stock is traded. Prior to the close of our IPO, because our common stock was not yet publicly traded, we were required to estimate the fair value of its common stock. The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock options was historically determined by a third-party valuation firm and approved by our board of directors. The fair value of our common stock was determined by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including: the valuation of comparable companies, sales of preferred stock to unrelated third parties, our operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of common stock and general and industry specific economic outlook, among other factors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Expected volatility.*** As a result of the lack of historical and implied volatility data of our common stock, the expected stock price volatility has been estimated based on the historical volatilities of a specified group of companies in our industry for a period equal to the expected life of the option. We selected companies with comparable characteristics, including enterprise value, risk profiles, and position within the industry, and with historical share price information sufficient to meet the expected term of the stock options. The historical volatility data has been computed using the daily closing prices for the selected companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Expected term.*** The expected term of stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is estimated under the simplified method using the vesting and contractual terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Risk-free interest rate.*** The expected risk-free rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term is consistent with the expected term of the stock options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Expected dividend yield.*** The expected dividend assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend. We have not paid dividends and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

Upon grant of awards, we also estimate an amount of forfeitures that will occur prior to vesting. We estimate forfeitures based on the dynamic forfeiture model based on our historical forfeitures of stock options adjusted to reflect future changes in facts and circumstances, if any. There were no stock options granted during the years January 31, 2026 and 2025. We also estimate an amount of forfeitures that will occur prior to vesting for restricted stock unit awards when they are granted.

***Impairment Evaluation***

Long-lived assets, such as rental product, fixed assets, intangible assets, and right-of-use lease assets, are reviewed for impairment triggers when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined using various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as necessary.

Given the Company's stock price decline during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 and of fiscal year 2025, the Company concluded a triggering event had occurred and performed an impairment analysis of its long-lived assets as of January 31, 2025 and January 31, 2026. The Company performed a quantitative assessment using the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the use and eventual disposition of the Company's long-lived assets group. The assessment included consideration of key factors including projected enterprise cash flows, market capitalization and the fair value of the Company's debt facility. Based on the quantitative assessment performed, undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the use and eventual disposition of the Company's long-lived assets exceeded their carrying values and therefore no impairment was recognized for the years ended January 31, 2025 and January 31, 2026.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

See "Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted.

**JOBS Act**

We currently qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Accordingly, we are provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. We have elected to adopt new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period. Accordingly, our utilization of these transition periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the transition periods afforded under the JOBS Act.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position because of adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of exposure resulting from potential changes in inflation.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4da2a4c6bfd54f0796da8d04ce8f7a6a_7)</u>**

**Interest Rate Risk**

As of January 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $50.4 million and $156.6 million of debt outstanding under the New Credit Agreement. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash held in financial institutions within the United States and Ireland and cash in transit from third-party credit card providers. Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement bear interest at floating rates. We have minimal exposure to market risk relating to changes in interest rates as they can affect the amount of interest income we earn on our cash. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. As of January 31, 2026, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have resulted in a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

**Foreign Currency Risk**

Our net revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars and a portion of our operating expenses is incurred outside the United States, denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, our results of operations are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the euro. Additionally, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As the impact of foreign currency exchange rates has not been material to our historical results of operations, we have not entered into derivative or hedging transactions, but we may do so in the future if our exposure to foreign currency becomes more significant. As of January 31, 2026, a hypothetical 10% change in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies would not have had a material effect on our results of operations.

**Inflation Risk**

In recent months, persistent inflation has continued to result in rising transportation, wages, rental product and other costs in the United States and overseas. For a discussion of recent wage increases and transportation costs related, in part, to inflationary pressures, see "Impact of Macro and Consumer Environment on Our Business" in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." If our costs become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs with increased revenue. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Rent the Runway, Inc.

***Opinion on the Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rent the Runway, Inc. and its subsidiary (the "Company") as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2026, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

***Basis for Opinion***

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

***Emphasis of Matter***

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring net operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit as of January 31, 2026. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and plans to mitigate these matters are described in Note 3.

/s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

New York, New York

April 14, 2026

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2020.

**1. Business**

**Description of Business**

Rent the Runway, Inc.'s (the "Company") mission is to power women to feel their best every day. Launched in November 2009, the Company has built the world's first shared designer closet with thousands of styles by hundreds of brand partners. The Company gives customers access to its "unlimited closet" through its subscription offering ("Subscription") or the ability to rent a-la-carte through its reserve offering ("Reserve"). The Company's corporate headquarters is located in Brooklyn, New York and its operational facilities are located in Secaucus, New Jersey, and Arlington, Texas. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rent the Runway Limited (the "Subsidiary"), is located in Galway, Ireland, and is focused on software development and support activities.

All revenue is currently generated in the United States. Substantially all revenue is derived from rental subscription fees and a-la-carte rental fees, with a portion derived from the sale of apparel and accessories and other fees.

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Basis of Presentation**

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. As further discussed in the Reverse Stock Split section below, all per share amounts and common shares amounts have been adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below) which became effective in April 2024. The Company adjusted the weighted-average shares used in computing net income (loss) per share for all periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to reflect the bonus element from the rights offering completed in October 2025. See "Note 15 - Net Income (Loss) per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders" for additional information.

**Reverse Stock Split**

The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as of October 29, 2021 authorizes the Company to issue 300,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

In March 2024, the Company's stockholders approved, and the Company's Board of Directors selected, a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split became effective on April 2, 2024 and began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis on April 3, 2024. See "Note 13 - Stockholders' Equity" for additional information.

**Fiscal Year**

The Company's fiscal year ends on January 31 of the next calendar year. For example, references to "fiscal year 2026" refer to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027, references to "fiscal year 2025" refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, and references to "fiscal year 2024" refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.

**Segment Information**

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the Company's CODM. The Company has one operating and reportable segment as the CODM reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.

The key measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM uses to make operating decisions, allocate resources, and evaluate financial performance is the Company's net income (loss) as reported in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Significant expenses within net income (loss) include fulfillment, technology, marketing, and general and administrative expenses, rental product depreciation and revenue share, and other depreciation and amortization. These operating expenses are each separately presented in the consolidated statements of operations. Other segment items within net income (loss) include a Gain on Debt Restructuring, interest income (expense), net, other income (expense), net and income tax benefit (expense). The CODM evaluates financial performance by comparing consolidated expenses against the budget and forecasted expenses to inform decision-making.

All revenue is attributed to customers based in the United States and substantially all the Company's long-lived assets are located in the United States.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, market conditions, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful life and salvage value of rental product, incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") to determine lease liabilities, valuation of share-based compensation, and recoverability of long-lived assets.

As of January 31, 2026, the effects of the macroeconomic environment on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition continue to evolve. As a result, many of the Company's estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As additional information becomes available, the Company's estimates may change materially in future periods.

**Concentrations of Credit Risks**

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company believes no significant credit risk exists with respect to these financial instruments.

No single customer accounted for more than 5% of the Company's revenue during the years ended January 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

**Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments**

Fair value accounting is applied for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. These measurements are conducted on an ongoing basis, at least annually. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity, associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities, are as follows:

Level 1:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unobservable inputs, in which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assessment of the assumptions market participants would use to value certain financial instruments. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

**Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash**

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include funds in transit from banks for customer credit card transactions that settle in less than seven days. These funds totaled $3.5 million and $1.7 million as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The Company had restricted cash balances for cash collateralized standby letters of credit as of January 31, 2026 and 2025 of $8.7 million and $9.1 million, respectively, primarily to satisfy security deposit requirements on its leases, as well as for rental product purchases and credit card transactions.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, which sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in millions):

**Rental Product, Net**

The Company considers rental product to be a long-term productive asset and, as such, classifies it as a noncurrent asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Rental product is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates rental product, less an estimated salvage value, over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The useful life is determined based on historical trends and an assessment of any future changes. The salvage value considers the historical trends and projected liquidation proceeds for the assets. The estimated useful lives and salvage values are described below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Useful Life** | **Salvage Value** |
| Apparel | 3 years | 20% |
| Accessories | 2 years | 30% |

---

In accordance with its policy, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives and salvage values of rental product on an ongoing basis.

The Company offers its customers an opportunity to purchase items in rentable condition prior to the end of their useful life. In such instances, the Company considers the disposal of rental product to be a sale and, as such, records the proceeds as other revenue and the net book value of the items at the time of sale as rental product depreciation in the consolidated statements of operations within Rental product depreciation and revenue share. Write-offs for losses on lost, damaged, and unreturned apparel and accessories are also recorded within Rental product depreciation and revenue share.

Once it is no longer considered rentable, rental product in a sellable condition is classified as held for sale and written down to salvage value. The value of rental product held for sale as of January 31, 2026 and 2025 was $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The accelerated depreciation related to rental product held for sale was $5.1 million, $5.7 million, and $4.9 million for the years ended January 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The accelerated depreciation is presented on the consolidated statements of operations within Rental product depreciation and revenue share.

When rental product is liquidated, the Company records the gain or loss calculated as proceeds, net of the remaining salvage value and costs to sell, within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The gain or loss from the liquidation of rental product is included as an adjustment to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash used by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The purchases of rental product as well as the proceeds from the sale and liquidation of rental product are classified as cash flows from investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows because the predominant activity of the rental product purchased is to generate rental revenue and such classification is consistent with the classification of long-term asset activity. Proceeds from the liquidation of rental product, net of costs to sell, were $2.6 million, $5.4 million, and $4.6 million for the years ended January 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of rental product were $28.4 million, $28.1 million, and $23.3 million for the years ended January 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

The Company mitigates residual value risk of its rental product primarily by utilizing specific cleaning, repair and restoration methods relying on its years of process know-how to maintain the condition of the rental product over its useful life, and by employing various in-house and third-party liquidation strategies to maximize liquidation value and overall return on rental product. The Company also utilizes technology in combination with its customer service department to recover rental items from delinquent customers.

**Revenue Recognition**

Subscription and a-la-carte rental fees ("Subscription and Reserve rental revenue") are recognized in accordance with *Leases, Topic 842* ("ASC 842"). Other revenue, primarily related to the sale of rental product, is recognized under *Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Topic 606* ("ASC 606") at the date of delivery of the product to the customer. Other revenue represented 13%, 13%, and 11% of total revenue for the years ended January 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Sales of rental product to customers within Other revenue represented 13%, 13%, and 11% of total revenue for the years ended January 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024.

Revenue is presented net of promotional discounts, customer credit issuances and refunds and recognized in accordance with either ASC 842 or ASC 606. The Company recognizes discounts on subscription and reserve fees ratably over the subscription or rental period. Discounts on sales of rental product to customers are recognized upon delivery. Refunds and customer credit issuances are recognized over the subscription or rental period or when returned items are received. Revenue is presented net of taxes that are collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

The Company issued gift cards and customer credits during the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025. In the year ended January 31, 2026, the Company modified its arrangement with its third-party gift card partner. Under the current model, the partner maintains the legal obligation to the holder and holds the associated cash until the customer applies the gift card to their Rent the Runway account. Upon application, the gift card is converted into a customer credit, at which point the Company recognizes a liability and corresponding receivable from the partner. In the year ended January 31, 2025, the Company operated under a different model with the same third-party gift card partner where the Company received cash and recognized a liability at the time of gift card issuance. The gift cards issued during the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 were immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements. During the year ended January 31, 2024, the Company did not issue any gift cards but customers were able to redeem gift cards sold in previous years. Upon redemption of the gift card or credit, revenue is recognized in line with the customer's rental or item purchase. The Company's gift card liability and customer credit liability are presented within Customer credit and gift card liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the year ended January 31, 2026, $0.9 million of credits included in the customer credit liability as of January 31, 2025 were redeemed. Gift cards and customer credits do not have expiration dates. Over time, a portion of these instruments is not redeemed. The Company recognizes breakage income related to these instruments based on the redemption pattern method. The Company continues to maintain the full liability for the unredeemed portion of the gift cards and credits when the Company has any legal obligation to remit such credits to government authorities in relevant jurisdictions.

*<u>Subscription and Reserve Rental Revenue</u>*

Subscription fees are recognized ratably over the subscription period, commencing on the date the subscriber enrolls in the rental program. The fees are collected upon enrollment. The subscription automatically renews on a monthly basis until cancelled or paused by the customer. Subscribers can pause or cancel their subscriptions at any time.

The Company recognizes fees for a-la-carte rentals ratably over the rental period, which starts with the date of delivery of rental product to the customer. A-la-carte rental orders can be placed up to four months prior to the rental start date (increased from two months prior to the rental start date beginning in June 2024) and the customer's payment form is charged upon order confirmation. The Company defers recognizing the fees and any related promotions for a-la-carte rentals until the date of delivery, and then recognizes those fees ratably over the four- or eight-day rental period. Additionally, the Company receives consideration from late fees associated with its Subscription and Reserve rental programs, which are considered variable lease payments.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

The Company accrues for credits and refunds issued subsequent to the balance sheet date that relate to rentals prior to the balance sheet date. These amounts were not material as of January 31, 2026 and 2025.

For lessors, ASC 842 provides a practical expedient to elect not to evaluate whether certain sales taxes and other similar taxes imposed by a governmental authority on a specific lease revenue-producing transaction are the primary obligation of the lessor as owner of the underlying leased asset. This practical expedient was applied by the Company and it excludes these taxes from the measurement of lease revenue and the associated expense. Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 842 to not separate nonlease components from associated lease components for all asset classes. The Company considers the rental product as the lease component and shipping services performed during the lease term as nonlease components.

*<u>Other Revenue</u>*

Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from the sale of rental product. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of rental product in accordance with ASC 606. Sale of rental product occurs when a customer purchases rental product at a discounted price, calculated as a percentage of retail value. Payment is due upon order confirmation and there is no financing component. The single performance obligation associated with rental product sales is generally satisfied upon delivery of the rental product to the customer. The Company does not have any material contractual receivables, assets or liabilities with respect to other revenue as of January 31, 2026 and 2025.

From time to time, other revenue may include revenue generated from pilots and other growth initiatives which may cause quarterly fluctuations in the Other revenue line.

**Lease - Lessee Accounting**

Refer to the Subscription and Reserve Rental Revenue section above for the Company's accounting policy related to lessor accounting.

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at contract inception. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are measured and recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its IBR as of the effective date or the commencement date of the lease, whichever is later, to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company considers its credit risk, term of the lease, total lease payments and adjusts for the impacts of collateral, as necessary, when calculating its IBR.

Lease payments are based on fixed amounts explicit in the lease agreements. Certain real estate leases include payments at variable amounts based on operating expenses of the lessor, such as common area charges, real estate taxes and insurance. Most equipment leases include variable sales tax payments based on state sales tax rates. Additionally, the Company procures a portion of its rental product from brand partners under revenue share arrangements, which are considered lease payments. See "Note 6 **–** Leases – Lessee Accounting" for additional details.

For lessees, the guidance provides a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to elect a combined single lease component presentation. This practical expedient was applied by the Company as a lessee to all asset classes.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

With respect to ROU assets, operating lease ROU assets are presented as a separate line item on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, while finance lease ROU assets are included in Fixed assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. With respect to lease liabilities, operating lease liabilities are presented as separate line items, while finance lease liabilities are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the remaining term of the underlying lease agreements. The Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (i.e., those with a term of twelve months or less) and recognizes the related lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, as applicable.

**Fixed and Intangible Assets, Net**

Fixed and intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.

Depreciation and amortization of fixed and intangible assets are calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The estimated useful lives of fixed and intangible assets are described below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Leasehold improvements | Lesser of estimated useful life or lease term |
| Machinery and equipment | 5 to 6 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
| Computer hardware | 3 years |
| Reusable packaging | 1.5 years |
| Capitalized third-party software | 3 years |
| Capitalized internally developed software | 2 years |

---

The Company capitalizes third-party and internally-developed software costs in connection with its proprietary systems and its enterprise resource planning system that are incurred during the application development stage. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation operating activities are expensed as incurred.

**Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets**

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of shipping rebates, accounts receivable, net, interest receivable, prepaid insurance, prepaid technology expenses, and prepaid taxes. Shipping rebates were $4.5 million and $4.0 million as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**Other Assets**

Other assets consist primarily of capitalized implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements, deposits for periods that exceed one year from the balance sheet date, prepaid bonuses, and sublease rent receivables, amortized over the period of future benefit.

**Expenses**

*<u>Fulfillment</u>*

Fulfillment expenses consist of fulfillment costs to receive, process and fulfill customer orders, including fulfillment labor payroll and related costs, third-party shipping expenses, cost of packaging materials, cleaning expenses, and other fulfillment related costs.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

*<u>Technology</u>*

Technology expenses consist of technology payroll and related costs, professional services, and third-party software and license fees.

*<u>Marketing</u>*

Marketing expenses include online and mobile marketing, search engine optimization and email costs, marketing payroll and related expenses, agency fees, printed collateral, consumer research, and other related costs. Advertising costs amounted to $24.0 million, $25.4 million, and $28.5 million for the years ended January 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Costs associated with advertising campaigns are expensed when the advertising first appears in the media, and other advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

*<u>General and Administrative</u>*

General and administrative expenses are comprised of all other employee payroll and related expenses, including customer service costs, occupancy costs (including warehouse-related), professional services, credit card fees, general warehouse and corporate expenses, and other administrative costs.

*<u>Rental Product Depreciation and Revenue Share</u>*

Rental product depreciation and revenue share expenses are comprised of depreciation and write-offs of rental product, and payments under revenue share arrangements with brand partners.

*<u>Other Depreciation and Amortization</u>*

Other depreciation and amortization expenses are comprised of depreciation and amortization amounts for fixed assets, intangible assets, and financing right-of-use assets.

The classification of expenses varies across industries. Accordingly, the Company's categories of expenses may not be comparable to those of other companies.

**Share-Based Compensation**

The Company recognizes all employee share-based compensation as an expense in the consolidated financial statements. Equity classified awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates grant date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Determining the fair value of options at the grant date requires judgment, including the expected term that stock options will be outstanding prior to exercise, the associated volatility, and the expected dividend yield. The fair value of common stock is based on the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant as reported on Nasdaq. Upon grant of awards, the Company also estimates an amount of forfeitures that will occur prior to vesting. There were no stock options granted during the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025.

The Company has granted two types of restricted stock units ("RSUs"), RSUs denominated in shares of Class A common stock and RSUs denominated in shares of Class B common stock. The Company has granted RSUs which vest upon satisfaction of time-based service conditions. The Company has approved performance-based RSUs ("PSUs") which will vest upon satisfaction of time-based service and performance-based conditions. The Company records share-based compensation expense for these RSUs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense for PSUs will be recognized based on estimated performance against established performance targets and revisions will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment to earnings in the period of the revision. The Company also estimates an amount of forfeitures that will occur prior to vesting. See "Note 14 **–** Share-based Compensation Plans" for a description of the accounting for share-based awards.

**Interest Income and Expense**

Interest income and expense consist primarily of interest on the Company's debt facility, debt discount (premium) amortization, and financing lease interest expense offset by interest income earned. The Company recognized interest and debt discount (premium) amortization expense of $21.8 million, $27.2 million, and $38.9 million for the years ended January 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

**Other Income and Expense**

Other income and expense consist primarily of monetizing tax credits associated with growth.

**Income Taxes**

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which future realization is not considered more likely than not. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Staff Q&A Topic No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), states that an entity can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences that are expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI resulting from those items in the year the tax is incurred. The Company has elected to recognize the resulting tax on GILTI as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred.

**Long-Lived Asset Impairment**

Long-lived assets, such as rental product, fixed assets, intangible assets, and right-of-use lease assets, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined using various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as necessary.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

During the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company evaluated whether events or circumstances had changed such that it would indicate it is more likely than not that the carrying value of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable (triggering event). Given the Company's stock price decline during fiscal year 2025 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company concluded triggering events had occurred and performed impairment analyses of its long-lived asset groups as of January 31, 2026 and 2025. As of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company's long-lived asset groups consisted of its sole reporting unit and the ROU asset related to the subleased ninth floor of its corporate headquarters in Brooklyn, NY. In connection with the commencement of the sublease in December 2024, the Company concluded the ROU asset for the subleased ninth floor to be its own asset group. Refer to "Note 6 - Leases – Lessee Accounting" for further details. The Company performed quantitative assessments using the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the use and/or eventual disposition for each of the Company's long-lived asset groups. The assessments for the Company's sole reporting unit included consideration of key factors including projected enterprise cash flows, market capitalization and the fair value of the Company's debt facility. The assessments for the ninth floor sublease of the Company's corporate headquarters in Brooklyn, NY included consideration of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the sublease. Based on the quantitative assessments, the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the use and/or eventual disposition, as applicable, of the Company's long-lived assets exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, no impairment was recognized as a result of these analyses for the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025.

In connection with the January 2024 restructuring plan as described in "Note 5, Restructuring and Related Charges", the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $1.1 million during the year ended January 31, 2024 related to the discontinuation of a software implementation project.

**Net Income (Loss) per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders**

The Company computes net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders under the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For purposes of this calculation, stock options to purchase common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, and RSUs are considered potentially dilutive securities for the year ended January 31, 2026. They have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 as their effect is anti-dilutive.

**Commitments and Contingencies**

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

**Foreign Currency**

The functional currency of the Subsidiary is the U.S. dollar, which is the functional currency of the Company. The local currency of the Subsidiary is the euro. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Subsidiary are remeasured at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are remeasured at the average exchange rates throughout the year. The related remeasurement adjustments are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

**Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements**

*Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements*

*Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements*

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, *Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements*, to improve the navigability of required interim disclosures and clarify when the guidance is applicable. The amendments provide additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods and adds a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. This standard is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

*Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software*

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software*. The amendments modernize the accounting for software costs accounted for under ASC 350-40. The amendments remove all references to software development stages and require entities to start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the intended function. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively, prospectively, or a modified transition approach may be used based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

*Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures*

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)*. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, *Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date* to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The amendments require disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are to be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this Update or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted this standard for the year ended January 31, 2026 and reflected the additional disclosures required in the standard in Note 10 - Income Taxes.

**3. Liquidity**

The Company recognized net income from operations of $22.6 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, due to the recognition of a Gain on Debt Restructuring of $96.3 million during the year ended January 31, 2026. Prior to fiscal year 2025, the Company has incurred significant recurring net losses since inception. The Company incurred significant recurring net operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $(1,100.4) million as of January 31, 2026. The Company has historically relied on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities. There is no remaining borrowing availability under the Company's New Credit Agreement, as defined below. The Company's cash flows from operations for the year ended January 31, 2026 were $3.5 million compared to $12.9 million for the year ended January 31, 2025. Cash out flows from investing activities for the year ended January 31, 2026 were $(49.5) million compared to $(20.1) million for the year ended January 31, 2025. As of January 31, 2026, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $50.4 million and long-term debt of $156.6 million with a maturity date in October 2029.

The Company experienced net operating losses for the last three years and an increase in such losses during the year ended January 31, 2026 as compared to the year ended January 31, 2025. The Company also experienced positive cash flows from operations in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, though it continued to have cash outflows related to its investing activities. The increase in cash flows (used) in investing activities during the year ended January 31, 2026 as compared to the year ended January 31, 2025 was due to a strategic, intentional increase in its investment in rental product purchases, inclusive of additional units, from multiple acquisition channels for fiscal year 2025.The Company experienced year-over-year revenue growth and a reduction in net losses in fiscal years 2024 and 2023 and generated cash flows from operations. To the extent the Company is impacted by macroeconomic trends, or other factors, including, but not limited to, lower demand for our business, increased rental product spend, or tariffs, the Company plans to preserve liquidity by reducing fixed and variable costs, which may include additional reductions to labor, operating expenses, and/or capital expenditures. However, these actions may not provide sufficient incremental liquidity to fund the Company's long-term obligations.

On August 20, 2025, concurrent with the Company's entry into the Exchange Agreement (as defined below), the Company entered into a Fourteenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with CHS (US) Management LLC, as administrative agent, and CHS US Investments LLC, as lender (the "Fourteenth Amendment") (the 2023 Amended Temasek Facility, as amended by the Eleventh Amendment, Twelfth Amendment, Thirteenth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment, the "2025 Amended Facility"). The Fourteenth Amendment provided that, among other things, (i) interest that would otherwise be payable in cash will be capitalized, (ii) the liquidity financial covenant level will temporarily be reduced from $30 million to $15 million until the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Transactions (as defined below), and (iii) the spend levels for fiscal year 2025 are eliminated.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

On October 28, 2025, the Company completed the Recapitalization Transactions to enhance the Company's financial position and flexibility by significantly reducing its existing indebtedness, improving its borrowing rate and extending the maturity of its remaining indebtedness to October 2029. Under the terms of the Recapitalization Transactions, the Company entered into the New Credit Agreement (as defined below). The Company's lender exchanged $100 million of existing outstanding indebtedness on a dollar-for-dollar cashless basis for new term loans and exchanged the remaining indebtedness for 26,175,193 newly issued shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. The Company also received an additional $20 million of new term loans excluding direct costs related to the transactions, resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $120 million. The Company also received $12.5 million in proceeds from a concurrent Rights Offering (as defined below). Additionally, the Company's minimum liquidity maintenance covenant was also reduced from $30 million to $15 million until February 20, 2027. On January 28, 2026, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the New Credit Agreement which permanently removed the minimum liquidity maintenance covenant. See "Note 4 - Recapitalization Transactions" for additional information. The Second Amendment was executed on April 1, 2026 and provides the Company with the ability to capitalize interest in lieu of cash payments until May 3, 2027. As a result of the First and Second Amendments to the New Credit Agreement, the Company expects that its existing resources and future cash flows from operations and cash and cash equivalents, will provide it with sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. The Company plans to explore additional funding sources to increase liquidity and strengthen its balance sheet. However, there can be no assurance plans will be completed.

**4. Recapitalization Transactions**

On October 28, 2025, the Company completed recapitalization transactions to enhance the Company's financial position and financial flexibility by significantly reducing its existing indebtedness, improving its borrowing rate and extending the maturity of its remaining indebtedness (the "Recapitalization Transactions").

Under the terms of the Recapitalization Transactions, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of October 28, 2025 (the "New Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, as borrower, CHS (US) Management LLC, as administrative agent (the "Agent"), and CHS US Investments LLC ("Lender"), Gateway Runway, LLC ("Nexus") and S3 RR Aggregator, LLC, as lenders ("STORY3" and, collectively with Lender and Nexus, the "Investor Group").

On October 28, 2025, Lender exchanged $100 million of existing outstanding indebtedness owing to Lender under the Company's credit agreement, dated as of July 23, 2018 (the "Existing Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Agent (as successor-in-interest to Double Helix Pte Ltd.), on a dollar-for-dollar cashless basis for new term loans under the New Credit Agreement. Lender contributed the remaining indebtedness owing to Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement to the Company in exchange for 26,175,193 newly issued shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), and the Existing Credit Agreement was amended and restated to form the New Credit Agreement as discussed above. The Investor Group also provided an additional $20 million of new term loans under the New Credit Agreement, resulting in a total aggregate principal amount of $120 million as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

The New Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with specified non-financial covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on the incurrence of debt, payment of dividends, making of investments, sale of assets, mergers and acquisitions, modifications of certain agreements and its fiscal year, and granting of liens. Term loans under the New Credit Agreement will mature on October 28, 2029, and will bear interest, at the Company's option, at either (i) a bank reference rate, plus 4.00% or (ii) term SOFR plus 5.00%, in each case per annum. The New Credit Agreement contains various events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the acceleration of obligations under the facility. The New Credit Agreement also modifies the Existing Credit Agreement in certain respects, including by temporarily reducing the minimum liquidity maintenance covenant from $30 million to $15 million during the period from October 28, 2025 until February 20, 2027, which reverts thereafter to $30 million. On January 28, 2026, the Company entered into the First Amendment. The First Amendment removed the minimum liquidity maintenance covenant.

*Rights Offering Backstop Commitment*

In October 2025, the Company gave its stockholders subscription rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,063,725 of the Company's Class A Common Stock at a price of $4.08 per share, totaling $12.5 million (the "Rights Offering"). On October 21, 2025, the subscription period for the Rights Offering expired. Subscribers in the Rights Offering exercised rights to purchase an aggregate of 742,956 shares of Class A Common Stock, and the gross proceeds received from subscribers in the Rights Offering was approximately $3.0 million.

Pursuant to the Rights Offering Backstop Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2025, by and among the Company and the Investor Group, the Investor Group agreed to purchase all unsubscribed shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Rights Offering at a price of $4.08 per share (the "Backstop Commitment").

*Term Loan Equitization*

On October 28, 2025, in connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2025 (the "Exchange Agreement"), by and between the Company and Lender, Lender contributed all amounts owing to Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement in excess of $100 million in exchange for 26,175,193 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Term Loan Equitization"), of which 7,852,558 shares and $30.0 million of existing debt were subsequently sold by Lender to Nexus and STORY3 for gross proceeds of $30.0 million. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the transaction and the transaction did not impact the Company's consolidated financial statements. All shares issued in connection with the Term Loan Equitization were issued in a transaction pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

As a result of the consummation of the Recapitalization Transactions and the other transactions described herein, a change of control of the Company occurred on October 28, 2025. As of such date, Lender held 19,983,656 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 59.8% of the voting power of the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock. On October 28, 2025, in connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, all outstanding shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Class B Common Stock"), were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, such that no shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding.

Lender, Nexus, STORY3, Jennifer Y. Hyman, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and certain other parties are party to an investor rights agreement, dated August 20, 2025 (the "Investor Rights Agreement").

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, the Company and Lender agreed to take all commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary to cause, as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") to consist of seven members, including Jennifer Hyman, a director selected by Ms. Hyman and approved by the Investor Group, a director designated by Nexus, a director designated by STORY3 and three directors designated by the Board (such three directors, the "Investor Directors").

On August 20, 2025, Tim Bixby, Jennifer Fleiss, Scott Friend, Beth Kaplan, Daniel Rosensweig and Michael Roth tendered their resignation from the Board and all committees on which they serve, contingent upon the consummation of the Recapitalization Transactions and the Board accepting such resignations, to be effective upon acceptance (the "Resignations"). On October 28, 2025, the Board accepted the Resignations, effective immediately. The Resignations were not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices, and were tendered solely to facilitate the Recapitalization Transactions and reconstitute the Board pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement and Investor Rights Agreement, as described above.

On October 28, 2025, the Board appointed Teri Bariquit, Peter Comisar, Dhiren Fonseca, Damian Giangiacomo and Daniel Rosensweig to serve as directors pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, effective immediately. Mr. Comisar and Mr. Giangiacomo were appointed to serve as Class I directors, Ms. Bariquit and Mr. Rosensweig were appointed to serve as Class II directors and Mr. Fonseca was appointed to serve as a Class III director, with Ms. Hyman remaining on the Board as a Class III director. Upon the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, the Board consists of six directors. The Investor Group has advised the Company that it is continuing to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify and designate a third Investor Director to the Board. Concurrently with their appointments to the Board, Mr. Giangiacomo and Mr. Rosensweig were appointed to the Audit Committee, and Mr. Fonseca was appointed to serve as Executive Chair of the Board.

Upon the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, the Audit Committee consists of two members. On October 28, 2025, the Company notified the Nasdaq of its non-compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires that the Audit Committee be comprised of three independent directors, and its intent to rely on the cure period provided by Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(4)(B). The Company intends to appoint an independent director to the Audit Committee no later than the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, as provided by Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(4)(B).

In connection with their appointments, each of Ms. Bariquit, Mr. Comisar, Mr. Fonseca and Mr. Giangiacomo entered into a standard indemnification agreement with the Company in the form previously approved by the Board.

On October 28, 2025, the Board amended and restated the Company's bylaws (the "Second Amended & Restated Bylaws"), effective as of such date. The Second Amended & Restated Bylaws were amended to (i) remove provisions related to the appointment of a lead independent director, (ii) add provisions to clarify that Lender will not be subject to certain notice procedures so long as the Investor Rights Agreement remains in effect and (iii) include certain technical amendments with respect to the adjournment of stockholder meetings and the availability of stockholder lists, among other matters.

**5. Restructuring and Related Charges**

***January 2024 Restructuring Plan***

On January 9, 2024, the Company announced a restructuring plan to focus its workforce and cost structure on key growth opportunities and support its profitability goals.

**RENT THE RUNWAY, INC.**<br>**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**<br>

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

Restructuring charges of $0.2 million and $2.0 million for severance and related costs were recognized during the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are reflected in Restructuring charges on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cumulative charges related to severance and related costs incurred to date in connection with the January 2024 restructuring plan were $2.2 million. Accrued restructuring charges were none and $0.2 million as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The Company recorded asset impairment charges of $1.1 million during the quarter and year ended January 31, 2024 related to the discontinuation of a software implementation project in connection with the January 2024 restructuring plan. The charge was reflected in Loss on asset impairment related to restructuring on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The restructuring plan was completed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

**6. Leases - Lessee Accounting**

As a lessee, the Company has operating real estate leases for its operational facilities, retail locations and corporate headquarters. The Company has operating and finance leases for its computers and equipment. Additionally, the Company procures a portion of its rental product from brand partners under revenue share arrangements, which are considered operating leases. All revenue share payments are recognized as lease costs and recorded in Rental product depreciation and revenue share in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue share payments based on performance are considered to be variable lease costs.

The Company's real estate and equipment lease terms generally range from less than one year to 14 years and certain agreements include renewal options. To the extent that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a lease renewal option, the assumption is included in the calculation of ROU assets and lease liabilities.

During the year ended January 31, 2024, the Company amended the operating lease for its fulfillment center at 100 Metro Way in Secaucus, NJ, the terms of which extended the lease for an additional five years to August 31, 2029. The lease modification resulted in an adjustment of $9.9 million to lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. The Company did not exercise its renewal option with respect to its lease for 55 Metro Way in Secaucus, NJ, which expired in accordance with its terms on August 31, 2024.

During the year ended January 31, 2025, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for the ninth floor of its corporate headquarters in Brooklyn, NY for the remainder of the lease term through November 2032. The sublease commenced in December 2024 and does not relieve the Company of its primary lease obligations. The Company recorded immaterial additional assets for the sublease and the net amount received from the sublease is recorded in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of the ninth floor sublease, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred and performed an impairment analysis of the related ROU asset group. The Company performed a quantitative assessment using the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the sublease. Based on the quantitative assessment, the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the ROU asset exceeded its carrying value. As a result, no impairment was recognized for the year ended January 31, 2025.

As of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the weighted-average remaining lease term for operating leases was 5.70 years and 6.58 years, respectively, and the weighted-average discount rate was 16.09% and 16.11%, respectively. As of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the weighted-average remaining lease term for financing leases was 5.62 years and 5.92 years, respectively, and weighted-average discount rate was 8.88% and 16.62%, respectively.

**Debt Facility**

In January 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2021 Amended Temasek Facility (the "2022 Temasek Facility Amendment"). The 2021 Amended Temasek Facility as further amended by the 2022 Temasek Facility Amendment is referred to as the "2022 Amended Temasek Facility". This transaction was accounted for as a debt modification. The terms of the amendment provided for, (i) an extension of the maturity to October 2026, (ii) a reduction of the cash portion of the interest rate to 2% per year through July 2024, increasing to 5% thereafter for the duration of the 2022 Amended Temasek Facility, and (iii) a 1% increase in the total interest rate in February 2024 from 12% to 13% and annual rate increases of 1% thereafter for the duration of the 2022 Amended Temasek Facility. In connection with the 2022 Temasek Facility Amendment, the Company granted a warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock at an exercise price of $100.00 per share. The warrant will expire on January 31, 2030. The effective interest rate for the 2021 Amended Temasek Facility for the period from the date of issuance through the date of the 2022 Amended Temasek Facility was 14.29%. The effective interest rate for the 2022 Amended Temasek Facility as of January 31, 2023 was 15.15%.

In January 2023, in connection with the 2022 Amended Temasek Facility, the Company recorded a debt discount of $6.9 million related to the allocation of proceeds to warrants issued. These amounts were being accreted to the principal amount of the 2022 Amended Temasek Facility through the recognition of noncash interest expense.

In December 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2022 Amended Temasek Facility (the "2023 Amended Temasek Facility"). This transaction was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. The terms of the amendment provided for, (i) elimination of all interest (both payment-in-kind and cash interest) for a period of six full fiscal quarters beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023; (ii) reduction of the minimum liquidity maintenance covenant from $50 million to $30 million; and (iii) additional covenants requiring the Company to comply with mutually agreed upon quarterly and annual spend levels for rental product capital expenditures, fixed operating expenditures and marketing expenditures during fiscal year 2024 of $51 million, $100 million (excluding $10 million of specified permitted expenditures), and $30 million, respectively, on an annual basis and to-be-agreed levels for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, subject to the debt holders' consent and certain exceptions. The Company did not record a gain in connection with the restructuring as the total undiscounted future cash payments specified in the 2023 Temasek Facility Amendment exceeded the carrying value of debt. The effective interest rate for the 2023 Amended Temasek Facility as of January 31, 2024 was 8.44%. The Company amortizes the debt discount or premium using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the facility including the six full fiscal quarters during which payment-in-kind and cash interest were eliminated.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

Other than described above, the 2023 Amended Temasek Facility did not change the covenants under the 2022 Amended Temasek Facility, which require the Company to comply with specified nonfinancial covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on the incurrence of debt, payment of dividends, investments, sale of assets, mergers and acquisitions, modifications of certain agreements and its fiscal year, and granting of liens. The 2023 Amended Temasek Facility also contained various events of default, including failure to comply with the minimum liquidity maintenance covenant and maximum expenditure thresholds, the occurrence of which could result in the acceleration of outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Amended Temasek Facility for the Company.

In January 2025, CHS (US) Management LLC replaced Double Helix Pte Ltd. as administrative agent for Temasek Holdings. In March 2025, all of the rights and obligations under the 2025 Amended Facility previously held by Double Helix Pte Ltd were assigned to CHS US Investments LLC, an entity under common Control (as defined in the 2025 Amended Facility) with Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited, pursuant to an assignment agreement executed in accordance with the credit facility.

In March 2025, May 2025, and July 2025, the Company entered into an Eleventh Amendment, Twelfth Amendment, and Thirteenth Amendment to the 2023 Amended Temasek Facility to extend the deadline to mutually agree upon the Company's fiscal year 2025 spend levels - covering rental product capital expenditures, fixed operating expenditures and marketing expenditures - from March 31, 2025 to May 30, 2025, from May 30, 2025 to July 31, 2025, and then from July 31, 2025 to August 29, 2025, respectively. The Thirteenth Amendment also extended the due date of the cash interest payment due on August 1, 2025 to August 29, 2025. In August 2025, concurrently with the Exchange Agreement, the Company entered into a Fourteenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The Fourteenth Amendment provided that, among other things, (i) interest that would otherwise be payable in cash will be capitalized; and (ii) the liquidity financial covenant level will be reduced from $30 million to $15 million until the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions. The Fourteenth Amendment also eliminated the spend levels for fiscal year 2025.

On October 28, 2025, the Company's lender exchanged $100 million of existing outstanding indebtedness owed under the Existing Credit Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar cashless basis for new term loans under the New Credit Agreement and exchanged the remaining indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement for 26,175,193 newly issued shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. The Existing Credit Agreement was amended and restated. The Investor Group also provided an additional $20 million of new term loans under the New Credit Agreement, resulting in a total aggregate principal amount of $120 million as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions.

The New Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with specified non-financial covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on the incurrence of debt, payment of dividends, making of investments, sale of assets, mergers and acquisitions, modifications of certain agreements and its fiscal year, and granting of liens. Term loans under the New Credit Agreement will mature on October 28, 2029, and will bear interest, at the Company's option, at either (i) a bank reference rate, plus 4.00% or (ii) term SOFR plus 5.00%, in each case per annum. The New Credit Agreement contains various events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the acceleration of obligations under the facility. The New Credit Agreement also modifies the Existing Credit Agreement in certain respects, including by temporarily reducing the minimum liquidity maintenance covenant from $30 million to $15 million during the period from October 28, 2025 until February 20, 2027, which reverts thereafter to $30 million. On January 28, 2026, the Company entered into the First Amendment. The First Amendment removed the minimum liquidity maintenance covenant.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

The exchange transaction with the existing lender was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring of $334.2 million of existing outstanding debt, excluding the remaining unamortized debt premium and $10.0 million of additional cash from the Lender, in exchange for $110.0 million of new term loans. The Company exchanged $234.2 million of existing indebtedness for 26,175,193 newly issued shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to the lender. As the carrying value of debt reduced by the fair value of the equity issued exceeded the total undiscounted future cash payments, the Company recognized a gain on troubled debt restructuring, net of allocated transaction costs of $11.8 million incurred, of $96.3 million during the year ended January 31, 2026. The gain was reflected in Gain on Debt Restructuring on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The gain increased net income (loss) per share - basic by $8.05 and net income (loss) per share - diluted by $8.02 for the year ended January 31, 2026.

Upon completion of the exchange transaction, the carrying value of the new term loans with the Lender was $149.5 million, comprised of the total future undiscounted cash payments to the Lender. The Company recorded a debt premium as a result of the troubled debt restructuring of $39.5 million which will be amortized over the term of the loan. The Company will not recognize any interest expense between the transaction date and the maturity of the debt.

The Company accounted for the $10.0 million of new term loans issued to Nexus and STORY3 as a new issuance of debt and recorded a debt discount of $0.4 million related to allocated issuance costs. The debt discount will be accreted to the principal amount of the debt through the recognition of noncash interest expense using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate of the debt facility as of January 31, 2026 was 9.83%.

The Company determined that all of the embedded features of the New Credit Agreement were clearly and closely related to the debt host and did not require bifurcation as a derivative liability, or the fair value of the feature was immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

***Covenants***

The Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants as of January 31, 2026 and through the date of this filing.

Provisions enacted in the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") on July 4, 2025 relating to research and experimental expenditures became effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, and added Section 174A to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Under the updated guidance, domestic research and experimental expenditures may be deducted as incurred or capitalized and amortized over five years. In addition, taxpayers may elect under Section 59(e) to capitalize and amortize such expenditures. The Company has elected under Section 59(e) to capitalize and amortize domestic research and experimental expenditures over a ten year period. Foreign research and experimental expenditures continue to be capitalized and amortized over a 15-year period. The Company evaluated the impact of this legislation and determined that it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements as the Company continues its existing method of capitalizing and amortizing such expenditures.

As of January 31, 2026, the Company had federal net operating loss tax carryforwards of $507.25 million. Approximately $7.8 million of the net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various times through 2038, while $499.45 million will not expire. In connection with the Company's recapitalization transaction, the Company excluded certain income resulting from the cancellation of debt income under Section 108(a)(1)(B) of the Code. As a result of this exclusion, the Company's net operating loss carryforwards were reduced pursuant to the attribute reduction rule under Section 108(b). Consequently, the Company's net operating loss carryforwards as of January 31, 2026 have been adjusted accordingly to reflect this reduction.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

In general, under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, and corresponding provisions of state law, an ownership change, generally defined as a significant change in equity ownership, may limit the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes generated prior to the change. The Company previously completed a Section 382 analysis and concluded that an ownership change occurred in 2010; however, all net operating losses subject to that limitation were fully utilized in prior periods. The Company subsequently updated its Section 382 analysis through November 2025 and further determined that an additional ownership change occurred on October 28, 2025. As a result, net operating losses arising prior to that date are subject to annual limitations on utilization under Section 382, which may limit the amount of such net operating losses available to offset future taxable income. These limitations were considered in assessing the realizability of the Company's deferred tax assets, and the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets.

As of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company maintained a valuation allowance against all of its U.S. deferred tax assets since, in the judgment of management, the realization of these assets was not considered more likely than not. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 was a decrease of $32.5 million and an increase of $13.5 million, respectively.

The Company has elected to prospectively adopt the guidance in ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Taxes Disclosures, or ASU 2023-09. The following table is a reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% to the Company's effective rate for the year ended January 31, 2026, in accordance with ASU 2023-09:

---

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2026 and 2025 are $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

The Company is subject to United States federal and state taxation, as well as subject to taxation in Ireland. The Company may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and as of January 31, 2026, tax year 2022 and years filed thereafter remain open to examination. These examinations may result in proposed adjustments to the Company's income tax liability or tax attributes with respect to years under examination as well as subsequent periods.

The provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income and deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. Any adjustments as a result of any examination may result in additional taxes or penalties against the Company. If the ultimate result of these audits differs from original or adjusted estimates, they could have a material impact on the Company's tax provision.

|:---|:---|:---|
| | **January 31,** | **January 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accrued expenses and other current liabilities | $29.1 | $19.6 |

---

The borrowing rate for the short-term financing obligation was 8.00% and 5.50% as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**12. Fair Value Measurements**

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

As of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, current and noncurrent restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

The Company's long-term debt is reported at carrying value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See "Note 9 – Long-Term Debt". The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using a Black-Derman-Toy (BDT) model based on the Company's implied credit spread using the median of option adjusted spreads for similar financial instruments with similar credit ratings, and, as such, long-term debt is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. As of January 31, 2026, the estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt approximates its principal amount.

**13. Stockholders' Equity**

***Rights Offering***

See "Note 4 - Recapitalization Transactions" and "Note 15 - Net Income (Loss) per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders" for information regarding the rights offering.

***Reverse Stock Split***

In March 2024, the Company's stockholders approved, and the Company's Board of Directors selected, a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on April 2, 2024 and began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis on April 3, 2024. Following the Reverse Stock Split, the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock remained at 300,000,000, the number of authorized shares of Class B common stock remained at 50,000,000, and the number of authorized shares of preferred stock remained at 10,000,000. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock from 67,812,037 to 3,390,587 and Class B common stock from 3,098,580 to 154,928 as of January 31, 2024. The par value per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock remained at $0.001. The Company filed an Amendment to the Twelfth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 2, 2024 to implement the 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split. All per share amounts and common shares amounts have been adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all periods.

The Company's stockholders' equity, in the aggregate, remained unchanged following the Reverse Stock Split. Per share net loss increased because there were fewer shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding. There were no other accounting consequences, including changes to the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in any period, that arose as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock holding fractional shares were entitled to receive, in lieu of such fractional shares, a cash payment in an amount determined based on the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split. The cash payments were immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Reverse Stock Split impacted all stockholders uniformly and did not affect any stockholder's percentage of ownership or proportionate voting power other than very minor impacts from the treatment of fractional shares.

***Common Stock***

Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Class B common stock are entitled to twenty votes per share, as well as dividends if and when declared by the Board and, upon liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other liquidation event of the Company, all assets available for distribution to common stockholders. There are no redemption provisions with respect to common stock.

In connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, all outstanding shares of the Company's Class B common stock were converted into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, such that no shares of Class B common stock remain outstanding. See "Note 4 - Recapitalization Transactions" and "Note 14 — Share-based Compensation Plans" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

***Preferred Stock***

Upon the IPO, the Company authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share. No shares were issued or outstanding as of January 31, 2026.

***Warrants***

As of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had the following outstanding warrants:

| TriplePoint | Sep-16 | 1232 | Common | 340.77 | 0.1 | Oct-26 |
| CHS (US) Management LLC | Oct-21 | 19717 | Common | 420.00 | 5.3 | Oct-28 |
| CHS (US) Management LLC | Jan-23 | 100000 | Common | 100.00 | 6.9 | Jan-30 |
|  |  | 131574 |  |  | $13.4 |  |

---

As of January 31, 2026 and 2025, all outstanding warrants were equity-classified and recorded as additional paid-in capital. Equity-classified contracts are not subsequently remeasured unless reclassification is required from equity to liability classification.

The fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is subjective and is affected by changes in inputs to the valuation model including the fair value per share of the underlying stock, the expected term of each warrant, volatility of the Company's stock and peer company stock, and risk-free rates based on the U.S. Treasury yield curves.

**14. Share-based Compensation Plans**

*<u>2009 Stock Incentive Plan and 2019 Stock Incentive Plan</u>*

In 2009, the Company adopted its stock incentive plan (the "2009 Plan") to grant equity to employees and service providers. In 2019, the Company adopted a new stock incentive plan (the "2019 Plan") which replaced the 2009 Plan. The Company has granted RSUs and stock options, each of which is settleable in shares. Options are generally granted for a 10-year term, and generally vest and become fully exercisable over four years of service. While no shares are available for future issuance under the 2009 Plan or the 2019 Plan, they continue to govern outstanding equity awards granted thereunder. Outstanding awards granted under the 2009 Plan and 2019 Plan are exercisable for or settled in shares of Class A common stock. There are no outstanding RSUs under the 2009 Plan and 2019 Plan as of January 31, 2026. There will not be any further equity grants under the 2009 and 2019 Plans.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

*<u>Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan</u>*

The Company's Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the "2021 Plan") was adopted by the Board and approved by stockholders in October 2021 and became effective upon the effective date of the IPO. The 2021 Plan replaced the 2019 Plan and no further grants will be made under the 2019 Plan. The terms of equity awards granted under the 2021 Plan in the year ended January 31, 2022 were generally consistent with those granted under the 2019 Plan, as described above. RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan in the year ended January 31, 2022 generally vest over four years and do not have liquidity-based vesting conditions. RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan during the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 have a shorter vesting period of one to two years. There will not be any further equity grants under the 2021 Plan. See below for details of the Second Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan.

*<u>Second Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan</u>*

In October 2025, the Company's stockholders approved the Second Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the "Amended 2021 Plan"), which the Board approved in September 2025, to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by the number of shares equal to 18.3% of the shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions and extend the expiration date to the tenth anniversary of the closing date, October 28, 2035. As of January 31, 2026, there were 5,735,226 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the Amended 2021 Plan. The PSU awards have been included assuming payout at target level. There will not be any further equity grants of Class B common stock. Shares of Class B common stock are not available for issuance under the Amended 2021 Plan.

The grant date fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The option pricing model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of share-based awards. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant. There were no stock options granted during the years ended January 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024.

***Stock Options***

Stock option activity during the period indicated is as follows:

There were no options exercised during the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of January 31, 2026, unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted was immaterial and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

During the year ended January 31, 2024, the Company completed an option exchange designed to incentivize and retain employees, directors and other service providers by providing the ability to exchange outstanding stock options for RSUs representing the right to receive Class A common stock. Stock options relating to 331,370 shares of Class A and Class B common stock were forfeited in exchange for 132,546 RSUs which generally vest over two years. The Company will recognize $0.8 million of incremental stock compensation expense from the RSUs granted as a result of the option exchange which will be recognized over the two year vesting period.

The Company currently uses authorized and unissued shares to satisfy the exercise of stock option awards.

***RSUs***

RSUs activity during the period indicated is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Number of<br>Shares** | **Weighted<br>Average<br>Grant-Date<br>Fair Value<br>per Share** |
| Unvested and outstanding as of January 31, 2025 | 333899 | $22.20 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Granted | 2365444 | 8.29 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vested/Released | (235054) | 22.75 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forfeited | (120784) | 17.37 |
| Unvested and outstanding as of January 31, 2026 | 2343505 | $8.38 |

---

The weighted average grant date fair values of RSUs granted for the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 were $8.45 and $49.80 per share, respectively.

As of January 31, 2026, there was $11.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs granted that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.7 years. Of the total unrecognized compensation cost, an immaterial amount related to RSUs granted as a result of the option exchange.

***Performance RSUs***

PSU awards require the achievement of certain performance targets established by the Company's Board of Directors during a three-year performance period. PSU awards vest following the last day of the performance period, subject to continued employment through such date. Share-based compensation expense is recognized based on the Company's best estimate of expected performance.

During the year ended January 31, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved 2,206,540 PSU awards for employees. These awards were not deemed granted during the year ended January 31, 2026 as the performance targets have not been established. There were no PSU awards granted prior to fiscal year 2025. The Company recognized no share-based compensation expense for the PSU awards during the year ended January 31, 2026 and excluded them from the calculation of weighted-average shares used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share although they are potentially dilutive as the performance targets have not been established or met. The PSU awards may vest up to 200% of the number of awards granted based on the achievement of performance targets.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended January 31,** | **Year Ended January 31,** | **Year Ended January 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Technology | $0.8 | $1.9 | $5.5 |
| Marketing |  | 0.1 | 0.2 |
| General and administrative | 3.4 | 7.7 | 20.5 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total share-based compensation | $4.2 | $9.7 | $26.2 |

---

The Company recognized $2.4 million of incremental share-based compensation expense in General and administrative expenses during the year ended January 31, 2024 due to equity award modifications related to the transition of the Chief Financial Officer role.

The Company recognized $0.7 million and $1.6 million of share-based compensation expense during the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, on the RSUs granted as a result of the option exchange discussed above.

**15. Net Income (Loss) per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders**

The Company computes net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders under the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The rights of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock were substantially identical, other than voting rights. Accordingly, the net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders will be the same for Class A and Class B common stock on an individual or combined basis. The dilutive effect of the Company's securities was calculated using the treasury stock method. As discussed above, the Company completed a rights offering in October 2025. As the exercise price for the rights offering was lower than the Company's stock price, the rights offering contained a bonus element similar to a stock dividend. The Company adjusted the weighted-average shares used in computing net income (loss) per share for all periods presented to reflect the bonus element. The Company's computation of weighted-average shares also reflects the 26,175,193 shares issued to the Company's lender in exchange for debt for the period as of and following the completion of the Recapitalization Transactions. See "Note 4 - Recapitalization Transactions" for additional information.

**16. Related Party Transactions**

As of January 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding long-term debt, net of $156.6 million with the Investor Group. The debt is presented as Long-term debt, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Investor Group held 85% of the voting power of the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock as of January 31, 2026. Under the terms of the New Credit Agreement, the Company will not recognize any interest expense on the $110.0 million of term loans held by the original lender between the transaction date and the maturity of the debt. The Company recognized a nominal amount of interest expense related to the $10.0 million of new term loans held by other members of the Investor Group during the year ended January 31, 2026. On January 28, 2026, the Company entered into the First Amendment. The First Amendment removed the minimum liquidity maintenance covenant.

The Company made purchases under minimum purchase commitments related to technology services of $2.7 million and $0.6 million during the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

***Legal Proceedings***

From time to time in the normal course of business, various claims and litigation have been asserted or commenced against the Company. Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation and other claims, the Company can give no assurance that it will prevail in any such matters, which could subject the Company to significant liability for damages. Any claims or litigation could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or business and financial condition in the period the claims or litigation are resolved. Accruals for loss contingencies are recorded when a loss is probable, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

On November 14, 2022, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit in the Eastern District of New York against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of its IPO, entitled Rajat Sharma v. Rent the Runway, Inc., et al. 22-cv-6935 (the "Securities Action"). The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), by making allegedly materially misleading statements, and by omitting material facts necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading concerning, *inter alia*, the Company's growth at the time of the IPO. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, compensatory damages, an award of attorneys' fees and costs and such other relief as deemed just and proper by the Court. On June 8, 2023, the Court appointed Delaware Public Employees' Retirement System and Denver Employees Retirement Plan as lead plaintiffs. On August 21, 2023, lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of its IPO. The amended complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act by allegedly making certain false and misleading statements, and by omitting material facts necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, concerning, among other things, the Company's growth prospects and fulfillment costs at the time of the IPO. The lawsuit seeks an award of damages, attorney's fees and costs, and such other relief as the Court deems just and proper. All defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint, with the motion fully briefed as of February 23, 2024. On September 25, 2024, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants' motion to dismiss, dismissing the claims based on the Company's growth prospects statements but allowing certain other claims to proceed. On October 9, 2024, defendants moved for reconsideration of the September 25, 2024 order and/or for certification under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), which motion was fully submitted as of October 30, 2024. In response to an application filed by defendants on November 19, 2024, on November 20, 2024, the Court issued an order adjourning defendants' deadline to file an answer to the amended complaint sine die. On May 16, 2025, the Court issued an order granting Defendants' motion to extend the time to answer the amended complaint until after the motion for reconsideration is resolved. The Court also determined that a phased approach to discovery was appropriate so as to permit the exchange of "key documents" and to promote the preservation of documents and evidence and directed the parties to submit a proposed initial discovery plan, which they did. The Court approved the initial discovery plan on June 3, 2025. On September 12, 2025, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants' motion for reconsideration, dismissing all remaining claims except those based on fulfillment costs. Following the order, defendants filed their answers to the amended complaint on October 6, 2025. On October 16, 2025, defendants requested, per the Court's rules, a pre-motion conference in connection with their anticipated motion for judgment on the pleadings, which plaintiffs opposed. On October 24, 2025, the Court ordered briefing on defendants' motion for judgment on the pleadings. On November 12, 2025, plaintiffs filed a letter motion seeking an order allowing discovery to proceed during the pendency of defendants' motion for judgment on the pleadings, which defendants opposed on November 21, 2025. On December 3, 2025, the Court issued an order directing a limited "second phase" of discovery to proceed pending the outcome of defendants' motion for judgment on the pleadings, focusing on a limited category of information appropriately cabined by the scope of plaintiffs' remaining claims. On February 17, 2026, the parties submitted a joint letter to the court concerning plaintiffs' request for further discovery. On March 3, 2026, the court issued an order requiring that, by March 31, 2026, the Company produce those documents it proposed to produce as part of the "second phase" discovery and rejected plaintiffs' request for additional documents. The Company completed production of "second phase" documents on March 31, 2026. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in the amended complaint and any liability for such claims is not currently probable and the potential loss or range of loss is not reasonably estimable.

*(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)*

On October 18, 2024, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative stockholder derivative lawsuit on behalf of the Company in the Eastern District of New York against certain of the Company's officers and directors ("Defendants"), and nominally against the Company, entitled Bandyopadhyay v. Hyman, et al., 24-cv-7321. The complaint, which is largely predicated on the same alleged facts and violations alleged in the Securities Action, asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, waste, and contribution and indemnification and seeks an award of damages, certain equitable relief, and attorneys' fees and costs. The lawsuit is in its preliminary stages. On December 31, 2024, the Court issued an order staying the derivative action until the resolution of any motions for summary judgment in the Securities Action or notification of a settlement in-principle in the Securities Action, whichever occurs earlier. Defendants intend to vigorously defend themselves against these claims and believe that they have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in the complaint.

**18. Subsequent Events**

On April 1, 2026, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the New Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment provides the Company with the ability to capitalize interest in lieu of cash payments until May 3, 2027.

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure**

None.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures**

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule(s) 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of January 31, 2026 because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

Notwithstanding the below identified material weaknesses, management believes the consolidated financial statements as included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

**Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2026, based on the framework and criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework* (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of January 31, 2026, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses described below.

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As of January 31, 2026, these material weaknesses remain unremediated.

We did not maintain sufficient evidence of the operation of controls to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures nor were monitoring controls evidenced at a sufficient level to provide the appropriate level of oversight of activities related to our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:

We did not design and maintain effective controls to ensure (i) the appropriate segregation of duties in the operation of manual controls and (ii) journal entries were reviewed at the appropriate level of precision.

------

We did not design and maintain effective controls over information technology ("IT") general controls for information systems and applications that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements. Specifically, we did not design and maintain (i) program change management controls to ensure that information technology program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately, (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to our financial applications, programs and data to appropriate personnel, (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that critical batch jobs are monitored and data backups are authorized and monitored and (iv) testing and approval controls for program development to ensure that new software development is aligned with business and IT requirements.

The IT control deficiencies, when aggregated, could impact maintaining effective segregation of duties, as well as the effectiveness of IT-dependent controls (such as automated controls that address the risk of material misstatement to one or more assertions, along with the IT controls and underlying data that support the effectiveness of system-generated data and reports) that could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected.

These material weaknesses did not result in a misstatement to our annual or interim consolidated financial statements. However, each of these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of substantially all account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our annual or interim condensed consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the JOBS Act because the Company is an "emerging growth company" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.

**Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses**

We continue to implement measures designed to remediate the identified material weaknesses. The measures include (i) formalizing the Company's framework and policies with respect to maintaining evidence in the operation of control procedures, (ii) improving our control framework to include the appropriate segregation of duties and controls over the preparation and review of journal entries, and (iii) designing and implementing IT general controls for systems and applications impacting internal control over financial reporting.

We have performed extensive work with personnel responsible for the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in our efforts to ensure that appropriate controls are in place and appropriate evidence is maintained. We are continuing to implement comprehensive access control protocols for our enterprise resource planning environment in order to implement restrictions on user and privileged access to certain applications, establishing additional controls over segregation of duties and the preparation and review of journal entries, implementing controls to review the activities for those users who have privileged access and program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately.

During fiscal year 2025, we have established a comprehensive framework for our IT general controls and have substantially completed the design of these controls across our key financial systems.

The implementation of these remediation efforts is in progress, may require additional expenditures to implement, and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, and as a result, the timing of when we will be able to fully remediate the material weaknesses is uncertain. We may also conclude that additional measures may be required to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which may necessitate additional implementation and evaluation time. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and take steps to remediate the known material weaknesses expeditiously.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended January 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

## Exhibit 10.7

![](non-employeedirectorprog001.jpg)

#101302126v8 Rent the Runway, Inc. Non-Employee Director Compensation Program Adopted December 16, 2025 This Non-Employee Director Compensation Program (this "Program") has been adopted under the Second Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan (or any successor plan, the "Plan") of Rent the Runway, Inc. (the "Company") and is effective as of October 28, 2025 (the "Effective Date"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan. Cash Compensation Annual cash retainers will be paid in the following amounts: Board Service Each Non-Employee Director: $75,000 Committee Service Audit Committee Chair: $25,000 There are no additional fees for service as a non-Chair member of the Audit Committee. All annual cash retainers will be paid quarterly in arrears within 30 days following the end of the applicable fiscal quarter; however, the first payment under this Program will be made within 30 days of the adoption date for the third fiscal quarter of 2025. If a Non-Employee Director does not serve as a Non-Employee Director or as the Audit Committee Chair for the entirety of any fiscal quarter, such Non-Employee Director's retainer shall be prorated for the portion of the fiscal quarter that the Non-Employee Director served in the relevant role(s). Equity Compensation On the date of the Board's adoption of this Program, each Non-Employee Director who is serving on the Board on such date will automatically be granted an award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") denominated in Class A common shares ("Class A Common Shares") of the Company (the "Initial RSU Award"). The Initial RSU Award will have an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Effective Date) of $120,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the Effective Date up to but not including July 8, 2026 (which is the first anniversary of the 2025 annual meeting of the Company's stockholder (the "Annual Meeting")), and the denominator of which is 365. The Initial RSU Award will vest in full, and the underlying shares will be issued, as of the earlier of (i) July 8, 2026 or (ii) immediately before the 2026 Annual Meeting, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board through such vesting date. For purposes of this Program, "Fair Market Value" shall mean the average closing price of a Class A Common Share as listed on Nasdaq (rounded to the nearest hundredth) on the 30 trading days immediately preceding and including the grant date.

------

![](non-employeedirectorprog002.jpg)

#101302126v8 The vesting of an Annual RSU Award will cease upon a Non-Employee Director's termination of service on the Board. Reimbursements The Company will reimburse Non-Employee Directors for reasonable travel and other business expenses incurred in connection with their duties to the Company, in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement, dated August 20, 2025. Change in Control Upon a Change in Control, all outstanding RSUs that are held by a Non-Employee Director shall become fully vested, irrespective of any other provisions of the Non-Employee Director's award agreement(s). Miscellaneous All applicable terms of the Plan apply to this Program. RSUs granted pursuant to this Program shall be granted under the Plan and subject to the terms set forth in an approved form of award agreement. The cash and equity compensation described in this Program shall be paid automatically and without further action of the Board, unless a Non-Employee Director declines the receipt by written notice to the Company. This Program may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board at any time in its sole discretion. The terms and conditions of this Program supersede any prior compensation arrangements for service as a Non-Employee Director. \* \* \* \*

Indemnification.

Consultant shall not enter into any settlement without RTR's or Indemnified Party's prior written consent. 8. Remedies. 8.1 If Consultant violates any provision of this Agreement, RTR shall, in addition to any damages to which it is entitled, be entitled to immediate injunctive relief against Consultant prohibiting further actions inconsistent with Consultant's obligations under this Agreement. 8.2 To the extent a Party must seek enforcement of this Agreement or otherwise defend against an unsuccessful claim of breach, the unsuccessful Party shall be liable for all attorney's fees and costs incurred by the successful party to enforce the provisions of this Agreement. 8.3 All rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive, and the exercise by either Party of any right or remedy does not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies that may now or then be available at law, in equity, by statute, in any other agreement between the Parties, or otherwise. Despite the previous sentence, the Parties intend that Consultant's exclusive remedy for RTR's breach of its payment obligations shall be its right to damages equal to its earned but unpaid fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;your prior written consent: (A) any material diminution of your Salary or Target Bonus opportunity (as defined in your Employment Agreement); (B) the occurrence of a MIP Failure Breach (as defined in your Employment Agreement), (C) prior to a Change of Control, you no longer report directly and exclusively to the Board, and on and after a Change of Control, you no longer directly report to the person or body having direct authority over the Company analogous to that of the Board prior to the Change of Control; (D) prior to a Change of Control, any change in your titles as Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of the Company, or appointment of another individual to the same title; or (E) any material diminution in your duties; provided that, in each case, you notify the Company in writing within 90 calendar days after first becoming aware of an event constituting Modified Good Reason, describing in detail the event claimed to constitute Modified Good Reason, and, unless the Company retracts and/or rectifies the claimed event constituting Modified Good Reason within 30 calendar days following the Company's receipt of such notice from you (the "Cure Period"), you terminate your employment during the 30-day period immediately following the end of the Cure Period.

![](rtr-psuawardagreementxhy005.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;December 31 of the year in which the applicable Performance Period ends)), and (iv) with respect to any Vested PSUs which vest upon a Subsequent Change in Control in accordance with Appendix II, no later than 60 days following the Subsequent Change in Control. However, the Company may delay any payment if such payment would violate applicable laws and, in such case, payment will be delayed until the earliest date on which the payment would not cause a violation of laws, provided that the delay will not result in an imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 409A"). At the time of settlement, you will receive one Share for each Vested PSU. No fractional Shares will be issued upon settlement. Section 409A The PSUs are not intended to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A. Further, if the Company determines that you are a "specified employee," as defined in the regulations under Section 409A at the time of your "separation from service," as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and it is determined that settlement of these PSUs is not exempt from Section 409A, then any PSUs that otherwise would have been settled during the first six months following your "separation from service" will instead be settled on the first business day following the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of your separation from service or (ii) your death. Each installment of PSUs is hereby designated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. Nature of Units / Limitation on Your Rights Your PSUs are mere bookkeeping entries. They represent only the Company's unfunded and unsecured promise to issue Shares with respect to your PSUs on a future date, and this Agreement may not be construed as creating a trust. As a holder of PSUs, you have no rights other than the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Stockholder Rights You, or your estate heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until your PSUs are settled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by issuing you Shares. 5

------

![](rtr-psuawardagreementxhy006.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Transfer of PSUs You cannot transfer or assign the PSUs. For instance, you may not sell the PSUs or use it as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, the PSUs will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of the PSUs in your will or by means of a written beneficiary designation; provided, however, that your beneficiary or a representative of your estate acknowledges and agrees in writing in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan as if the beneficiary of the estate were you. Withholding Taxes No stock certificates (or their electronic equivalent) will be distributed to you unless you have paid any withholding taxes that are due as a result of the vesting or settlement of the PSUs. These arrangements include payment in cash, your personal check or arranging for a wire transfer. With the Administrator's consent, these arrangements may also include (a) payment from the proceeds of the sale of Shares through a Company-approved broker, (b) withholding Shares that otherwise would be issued to you when the PSUs are settled with a Fair Market Value no greater than the maximum amount required to be withheld by law, (c) surrendering Shares that you previously acquired with a Fair Market Value no greater than the maximum amount required to be withheld by law, or (d) any combination of the foregoing. The Fair Market Value of withheld or surrendered Shares, determined as of the date when taxes otherwise would have been withheld in cash, will be applied to the withholding taxes. If you fail to make timely payment of withholding taxes in connection with the settlement of the PSUs, the Company has the right to satisfy all or any portion of the withholding taxes by withholding Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the PSUs. Restrictions on Resale You agree not to sell any Shares issued upon settlement of the PSUs at any time when such sale is prohibited by applicable law, any Company policy applicable to the Company's directors or executive officers generally, or any agreement between the Company and its underwriters. This restriction will apply as long as your service with the Company or a Subsidiary continues and for a period of time (not to exceed 90 days or, if longer, such other period as required by applicable law) after your Termination of Service as may be specified by the Company. 6

![](rtr-psuawardagreementxhy007.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Retention Rights Your award of PSUs or this Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company, or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company, in any capacity. The Company and its parents and Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate your service at any time, with or without cause. Adjustments Upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in Article VIII of the Plan, the number of PSUs, any Performance Metrics (as defined in Appendix I) or Share price hurdles set forth in Appendix II covered by this award will be equitably adjusted, modified or terminated pursuant to the Plan. Effect of Significant Corporate Transactions If the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, or certain change in control transactions, then your PSUs will be subject to the applicable provisions of Article VIII of the Plan; provided that Section 8.2(f) of the Plan (or any similar provision) will not be applied to the PSUs. Recoupment Policy This award, and the Shares acquired upon settlement of this award, shall be subject to any Company recoupment or clawback policy in effect on the date hereof or that is required by law to be adopted after the date hereof, including the Company's Policy Relating to Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation. Applicable Law This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to its choice-of-law provisions). The Plan and Other Agreements The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. In the event the terms of this Agreement limit, modify or address an area of discretion or otherwise conflict with the Plan, the terms of this Agreement will control. The Plan, this Agreement and the Notice of PSU Award constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding these PSUs. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning these PSUs are superseded. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be amended or otherwise suspended or terminated at any time by the Administrator or the Board; provided, that no amendment, suspension or modification may adversely affect the PSUs in any material respect without the prior written consent of the Participant. In the event that any provision of the Notice of PSU Award or this Agreement is 7

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;held invalid or unenforceable, then the applicable provision will be severable from, and any invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Notice of PSU Award or this Agreement.

If the Company's actual performance with respect to any Performance Metric is between the performance levels set forth above, then linear interpolation shall be used to determine the number of PSUs that will become Earned PSUs with respect to the applicable Performance Metric for the Performance Period. Determination of Performance Levels With respect to each Performance Period, "Threshold Performance," "Good Performance," "Better Performance" and "Best Performance" for each Performance Metric shall be determined by the Board, in good faith, and communicated to you in writing no later than 90 days following the first day of each Performance Period (the "Design Period"). Threshold Performance is expected to correspond to 85% of Good Performance, "Good Performance" is expected to be equal approximately 20% below the Board-approved budget for the applicable Performance Period, "Better Performance" is expected to be equal to the Board-approved budget for the applicable Performance Period, and "Best Performance" is expected to be equal approximately 20% above the Board-approved budget for the applicable Performance Period. Performance Metrics During the Design Period, the Board shall, in good faith, establish performance metrics for the applicable Performance Period, which shall be financial metrics based on the Company's Board-approved budget for the applicable 9

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Performance Period (any such performance metric, a "Performance Metric"). If the Board establishes more than one Performance Metric for any Performance Period, then (i) the Board shall set the percentage of PSUs eligible to become Earned PSUs in respect of each Performance Metric for the applicable Performance Period (the "Performance Metric Weight") at the same time the Board establishes the Performance Metrics applicable to the corresponding Performance Period, and (ii) the Actual Performance Percentage applicable to each Performance Metric shall be determined independently. 10

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Appendix II Effect of a Subsequent Change in Control Effect of a Subsequent Change in Control Upon a Subsequent Change in Control, (i) any PSUs that are, as of the date of such Change in Control, Earned PSUs shall remain outstanding and become Vested PSUs if you remain employed by the Company through the Vesting Date, subject to the second paragraph of the section of the Agreement entitled "Forfeiture," (ii) if the price per Share received by the Company's stockholders in connection with such Change in Control is less than $6.92, then all PSUs related to any Performance Period that was, as of the date of such Change in Control, incomplete or had not yet commenced (any such Performance Period, an "Incomplete Performance Period") shall be forfeited in their entirety, effective as of the date of such Change in Control, (iii) if the price per Share received by the Company's stockholders in connection with such Change in Control is at least $6.92 but less than $13.84, then the Target Number of PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be deemed Earned PSUs and become Vested PSUs if you remain employed by the Company through the Vesting Date, subject to the second paragraph of the section of the Agreement entitled "Forfeiture," and (iv) if the price per Share received by the Company's stockholders in connection with such Change in Control is (A) at least $13.84 but lower than $20.76, then (x) 100% of the Prorated Number of PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be deemed Vested PSUs, and (y) 100% of the remaining PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be Earned PSUs, (B) at least $20.76 but lower than $27.67, then (x) 150% of the Prorated Number of PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be deemed Vested PSUs, and (y) 150% of the remaining PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be Earned PSUs or (C) at least $27.67, then (x) 200% of the Prorated Number of PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be deemed Vested PSUs, and (y) 200% of the remaining PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be Earned PSUs. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any PSUs that become Earned PSUs but not Vested PSUs pursuant to clause (iv) of the 11

For purposes of this Agreement, the "Prorated Number of PSUs" shall mean a number of PSUs equal to the Target Number of PSUs for the applicable Performance Period multiplied by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the number of days from the Closing through the date of a Subsequent Change in Control, and (2) the denominator of which is the total number of days from the Closing through the last day of the third Performance Period. The following explanatory calculations are for illustrative purposes only and assume that (i) the Closing Date occurs on October 28, 2025, (ii) the Target Number of PSUs granted under this Agreement is equal to 300 (i.e., 100 PSUs per Performance Period), (iii) Good Performance is achieved with respect to the First Performance Period, (iv) a Subsequent Change in Control occurs on the first day of the Second Performance Period (i.e., on February 1, 2028), and (v) the price per Share received by the Company's stockholders in connection with the Subsequent Change in Control is equal to $20.76: (A) with respect to the First Performance Period, 100 Earned PSUs (i.e., the number of PSUs earned with respect to the First Performance Period (based on Good Performance)) shall remain outstanding and eligible to become Vested PSUs (subject to the terms of this Agreement); (B) with respect to the Second Performance Period, 80 PSUs (i.e., 150% of the Prorated Number of PSUs (100 x (826 / 1,556)) shall be deemed Vested PSUs and 70 PSUs shall be Earned PSUs and remain outstanding and eligible to become Vested PSUs (subject to the terms of this Agreement); and (C) with respect to the Third Performance Period, 80 PSUs (i.e., 150% of the Prorated Number of PSUs (100 x (826 / 1,556)) shall be deemed Vested PSUs and 70 PSUs shall be Earned PSUs and remain outstanding and eligible to become Vested PSUs (subject to the terms of this Agreement). 12

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Appendix I Performance-Based Vesting Requirement Earned PSU Percentage The "Earned PSU Percentage" shall mean an aggregate percentage equal to the Actual Performance Percentage achieved with respect to each Performance Metric established in respect of the applicable Performance Period. Actual Performance Percentage With respect to each Performance Metric established for the applicable Performance Period, the "Actual Performance Percentage" shall be equal to the Performance Metric Weight (as defined below) corresponding to the applicable Performance Metric, multiplied by (i) in the event that a level of performance below Threshold Performance (as defined below) is achieved, 0%, (ii) in the event that Threshold Performance (as defined below) is achieved, 50%, (iii) in the event that Good Performance (as defined below) is achieved, 100%, (iv) in the event that Better Performance (as defined below) is achieved, 150% or (v) in the event that Best Performance (as defined below) is achieved, 200%. If the Company's actual performance with respect to any Performance Metric is between the performance levels set forth above, then linear interpolation shall be used to determine the number of PSUs that will become Earned PSUs with respect to the applicable Performance Metric for the Performance Period. Determination of Performance Levels With respect to each Performance Period, "Threshold Performance," "Good Performance," "Better Performance" and "Best Performance" for each Performance Metric shall be determined by the Board, in good faith, and communicated to you in writing no later than 90 days following the first day of each Performance Period (the "Design Period"). Threshold Performance is expected to correspond to 85% of Good Performance, "Good Performance" is expected to be equal approximately 20% below the Board-approved budget for the applicable Performance Period, "Better Performance" is expected to be equal to the Board-approved budget for the applicable Performance Period, and "Best Performance" is expected to be equal approximately 20% above the Board-approved budget for the applicable Performance Period. Performance Metrics During the Design Period, the Board shall, in good faith, establish performance metrics for the applicable Performance Period, which shall be financial metrics based on the Company's Board-approved budget for the applicable 8

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Performance Period (any such performance metric, a "Performance Metric"). If the Board establishes more than one Performance Metric for any Performance Period, then (i) the Board shall set the percentage of PSUs eligible to become Earned PSUs in respect of each Performance Metric for the applicable Performance Period (the "Performance Metric Weight") at the same time the Board establishes the Performance Metrics applicable to the corresponding Performance Period, and (ii) the Actual Performance Percentage applicable to each Performance Metric shall be determined independently. 9

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Appendix II Effect of a Subsequent Change in Control Effect of a Subsequent Change in Control Upon a Subsequent Change in Control, (i) any PSUs that are, as of the date of such Change in Control, Earned PSUs shall remain outstanding and become Vested PSUs if you remain employed by the Company through the Vesting Date, subject to the second paragraph of the section of the Agreement entitled "Forfeiture," (ii) if the price per Share received by the Company's stockholders in connection with such Change in Control is less than $6.92, then all PSUs related to any Performance Period that was, as of the date of such Change in Control, incomplete or had not yet commenced (any such Performance Period, an "Incomplete Performance Period") shall be forfeited in their entirety, effective as of the date of such Change in Control, (iii) if the price per Share received by the Company's stockholders in connection with such Change in Control is at least $6.92 but less than $13.84, then the Target Number of PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be deemed Earned PSUs and become Vested PSUs if you remain employed by the Company through the Vesting Date, subject to the second paragraph of the section of the Agreement entitled "Forfeiture," and (iv) if the price per Share received by the Company's stockholders in connection with such Change in Control is (A) at least $13.84 but lower than $20.76, then (x) 100% of the Prorated Number of PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be deemed Vested PSUs, and (y) 100% of the remaining PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be Earned PSUs, (B) at least $20.76 but lower than $27.67, then (x) 150% of the Prorated Number of PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be deemed Vested PSUs, and (y) 150% of the remaining PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be Earned PSUs or (C) at least $27.67, then (x) 200% of the Prorated Number of PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be deemed Vested PSUs, and (y) 200% of the remaining PSUs subject to each Incomplete Performance Period shall, as of the date of such Change in Control, be Earned PSUs.

For purposes of this Agreement, the "Prorated Number of PSUs" shall mean a number of PSUs equal to the Target Number of PSUs for the applicable Performance Period multiplied by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the number of days from the Closing through the date of a Subsequent Change in Control, and (2) the denominator of which is the total number of days from the Closing through the last day of the third Performance Period. The following explanatory calculations are for illustrative purposes only and assume that (i) the Closing Date occurs on October 28, 2025, (ii) the Target Number of PSUs granted under this Agreement is equal to 300 (i.e., 100 PSUs per Performance Period), (iii) Good Performance is achieved with respect to the First Performance Period, (iv) a Subsequent Change in Control occurs on the first day of the Second Performance Period (i.e., on February 1, 2028), and (v) the price per Share received by the Company's stockholders in connection with the Subsequent Change in Control is equal to $20.76: (A) with respect to the First Performance Period, 100 Earned PSUs (i.e., the number of PSUs earned with respect to the First Performance Period (based on Good Performance)) shall remain outstanding and eligible to become Vested PSUs (subject to the terms of this Agreement); (B) with respect to the Second Performance Period, 80 PSUs (i.e., 150% of the Prorated Number of PSUs (100 x (826 / 1,556)) shall be deemed Vested PSUs and 70 PSUs shall be Earned PSUs and remain outstanding and eligible to become Vested PSUs (subject to the terms of this Agreement); and (C) with respect to the Third Performance Period, 80 PSUs (i.e., 150% of the Prorated Number of PSUs (100 x (826 / 1,556)) shall be deemed Vested PSUs and 70 PSUs shall be Earned PSUs and remain outstanding and eligible to become Vested PSUs (subject to the terms of this Agreement). 11

Each earned Annual Bonus shall be paid in cash not later than two and a half months after the end of the Fiscal Year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless the Employee shall elect to defer the receipt of such Annual Bonus pursuant to an arrangement that meets the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 4.

(B) To the extent permitted by the Company's insurance carrier(s), for a period of 18 months following the date of termination (or, if earlier, the first date following the date of termination upon which the Employee is eligible to receive comparable group welfare benefits from a subsequent employer), the Employee shall continue to receive, at the same pre-tax cost to him as applies to the Company's senior-most executives, the group welfare benefits in effect at the date of termination (or generally comparable coverage) for himself and, where applicable, his spouse and dependents, as the same may be changed from time to time for the senior-most executives of the Company generally, as if the Employee had continued in employment during such period; provided that, to the extent that such coverage is not permitted by the Company's insurance carrier(s) or applicable law, the Company shall instead reimburse to the Employee for the Employee's reasonable documented costs of purchasing comparable replacement coverage. The COBRA health care continuation coverage period under Section 4980B of the Code shall run concurrently with the foregoing 18-month benefit period. (C) The Refinancing Transaction Bonus shall be treated in accordance with Section 4 above.

No act, or failure to act on the part of the Employee shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Employee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the Employee's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company and its affiliates. The Employee shall not be terminated for "Cause" unless reasonable notice is provided to the Employee and the Employee is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board, and thereafter at least a majority of the Board (excluding the Employee from both the numerator and the denominator) determines by affirmative vote or written consent that the Employee shall be terminated for "Cause;" provided that, any such determination by the Board shall be subject to de novo review by the arbitrator pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of Section 17 hereof based on the facts thereof. (iv) For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein "Good Reason" shall mean any of the following events that occur without the Employee's prior written consent: (A) any material diminution of the Employee's Salary; (B) any other material breach of this Agreement by the Company; (C) prior to a Change of Control, the Employee no longer reporting directly and exclusively to the Board, and on and after a Change of Control, the Employee no longer directly reporting to the person or body having direct authority over the Company substantially similar to that of the Board prior to the Change of Control; (D) any change in the Employee's title as Executive Chair of the Company, or appointment of another individual to the same title; (E) a requirement that the Employee spend a specified minimum number of days during any week (or other period) at the Company's executive offices in New York City; (F) following the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date, the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer of the Company, other than the Employee; or (G) failure of a successor to all or substantially all of the business of the Company to assume the Company's obligations under the Agreement; 6

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;provided that, in each case, the Employee must notify the Company in writing within 90 calendar days after first becoming aware of an event constituting Good Reason, describing in detail the event claimed to constitute Good Reason, and, unless the Company retracts and/or rectifies the claimed event constituting Good Reason within 30 calendar days following the Company's receipt of such notice from the Employee (the "Cure Period"), the Employee must terminate employment, if at all, during the 30-day period immediately following the end of the Cure Period. If the Employee does not terminate employment during such 30-day period, the Employee may not terminate employment for Good Reason as a result of such event. (v) For purposes of this Agreement, "Change of Control" shall mean: (A) the purchase or other acquisition by any person, entity or group of persons, within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act") or any comparable successor provisions (a "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Act) of a majority of either the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company ("Outstanding Company Common Stock") or the combined voting power of the Company's then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors ("Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (A), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: any acquisition by the Employee or by a Person in which the Employee has a greater than 25% equity interest, any acquisition by the Company, any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or by any corporation controlled by the Company, or any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction that complies with clauses (1), (2) and (3) of subsection (B) of this Section 6(a)(v); (B) consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company ("Business Combination"), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation that as a result of such Business Combination owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same 7

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such corporation, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board (as defined below) at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board of Directors, providing for such Business Combination; (C) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of the directors of the Company, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Act) shall be considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or (D) approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, with respect to compensation (I) that is subject to Section 409A of the Code and (II) for which a Change of Control would accelerate the timing of payment thereunder (including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 6(a)(ii)(A) hereof), the term "Change of Control" shall mean a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, each as defined in Section 409A of the Code and authoritative guidance thereunder, but only to the extent inconsistent with the above definition and as necessary to avoid the imposition of tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Company. 8

The foregoing shall not apply to information that was known to the public prior to its disclosure to the Employee; becomes generally known to the public subsequent to disclosure to the Employee through no wrongful act of the Employee or any representative of the Employee; is general information related to the Employee's career or general business or lifestyle advice; or the Employee is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided that the Employee provides the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and cooperates with the Company at its request and expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information).

The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings), or the making of truthful statements comparing the products or services of the Company with those of any organization with which the Employee may become associated following the end of the Term, if such association does not otherwise violate this Agreement.

The Employee will, at any time during and subsequent to the Term, make such Applications, sign such papers, take all rightful oaths, and perform all acts as may be requested from time to time by the Company with respect to the Inventions. The Employee will also execute assignments to the Company (or its designee) of the Applications, and give the Company and its attorneys all reasonable assistance (including the giving of testimony) to obtain the Inventions for its benefit, all without additional compensation to the Employee from the Company, but entirely at the Company's expense. 12

If the Inventions, or any portion thereof, are deemed not to be "works made for hire," the Employee hereby irrevocably conveys, transfers and assigns to the Company, all rights, in all media now known or hereinafter devised, throughout the universe and in perpetuity, in and to the Inventions, including, without limitation, all of the Employee's right, title and interest in the copyrights (and all renewals, revivals and extensions thereof) and patent rights underlying the Inventions, including, without limitation, all rights of any kind or any nature now or hereafter recognized, including without limitation, the unrestricted right to make modifications, adaptations and revisions to the Inventions, to exploit and allow others to exploit the Inventions and all rights to sue at law or in equity for any infringement, or other unauthorized use or conduct in derogation of the Inventions, known or unknown, prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, the right to receive all proceeds and damages therefrom. In addition, the Employee hereby waives any so-called "moral rights" with respect to the Inventions. The Employee hereby waives any and all currently existing and future monetary rights in and to the Inventions and all patents that may issue thereon, including, without limitation, any rights that would otherwise accrue to the Employee's benefit by virtue of the Employee being an employee of or other service provider to the Company. (f) Reformation. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state or foreign jurisdiction that any restriction in this Section 7 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of that state or foreign jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state or foreign jurisdiction. (g) Tolling. In the event of any violation of the provisions of this Section 7, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the post-termination restrictions contained in this Section 7 in respect of the subject matter of such violation shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of such violation, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the running of the applicable post-termination restriction period shall be tolled during any period of such violation. (h) Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or expiration of the Term and shall be fully enforceable thereafter. 8. Cooperation. Upon the receipt of reasonable notice from the Company (including outside counsel), the Employee agrees that during the Term and thereafter, the Employee will respond and provide information with regard to matters in which the Employee has knowledge as 13

Equitable Relief and Other Remedies. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company's remedies at law for a breach of any of the provisions of Section 7 or Section 8 hereof would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Employee agrees that, in the event of such a breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance of Section 7 and Section 8 hereof, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available. 10. Golden Parachute Excise Tax Provisions. (a) In the event any payments or benefits provided under this Agreement or otherwise, either alone or together with other payments or benefits which the Employee receives or is entitled to receive from the Company or any affiliate ("Payments") constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and may be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code ("Excise Tax") as a result of a transaction affecting the Company described in Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code (a "280G Transaction") that occurs at any time following the Effective Date, then the Payments shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, but only if the net amount of such Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income and employment taxes on such reduced Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Payments), is greater than or equal to the net amount of such Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income and employment taxes on such Payments and the amount of the Excise Tax to which the Employee would be subject in respect of such unreduced Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Payments). The Payments shall be reduced in a manner that maximizes the Employee's economic position. In applying this principle, the reduction shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, to the extent applicable, and where two or more economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts payable at the later time shall be reduced first but not below zero and will take into account the value of any reasonable compensation for services to be rendered by you before or after the 280G Transaction in accordance with applicable law. 14

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) All determinations required to be made under Section 10(a) hereof shall be made by a public accounting or employee benefits consulting firm with a national practice selected by the Company and which is reasonably acceptable to the Employee (the "Accounting Firm"), as promptly as is practicable upon or following the applicable 280G Transaction affecting the Company. The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Employee. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee. The determinations will take into account the value of any reasonable compensation for services to be rendered by the Employee before or after the 280G Transaction in accordance with applicable law. The parties agree that neither the Employee nor the Company shall take a tax reporting position that is inconsistent with the determination of the Accounting Firm. 11. Section 409A. (a) This Agreement is intended to be exempt from, or avoid the imposition of a penalty tax under, Section 409A of the Code and, to the extent necessary in order to avoid the imposition of a penalty tax on the Employee under Section 409A of the Code, payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code. Any payments or benefits that are provided upon a termination of employment shall, to the extent necessary in order to avoid the imposition of a penalty tax on the Employee under Section 409A of the Code, not be provided unless such termination constitutes a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any payments that qualify for the "short-term deferral" exception or another exception under Section 409A of the Code shall be paid under the applicable exception. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Employee is considered a "specified employee" (as defined in Section 409A of the Code), any amounts paid or provided under this Agreement shall, to the extent necessary in order to avoid the imposition of a penalty tax on Employee under Section 409A of the Code, be delayed for six months after Employee's "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and the accumulated amounts shall be paid in a lump sum within 10 calendar days after the end of the six-month period. If the Employee dies during the six-month postponement period prior to the payment of benefits, the payments which are deferred on account of Section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of the Employee's estate within 60 calendar days after the date of the Employee's death. (b) For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In no event may the Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a payment. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the period of time specified in this Agreement, the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year, (iii) the 15

------

![](rtrexecutivechairemploym016.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last calendar day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 12. No Assignments. (a) This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto. Except as provided in Section 12(b) hereof, no party may assign or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto. (b) The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, provided that the Company shall require such successor to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company and any successor to its business and/or assets, which assumes and agrees to perform the duties and obligations of the Company under this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise. 13.

Either party hereto may request an in person hearing; absent such request, the arbitrator may decide the claim based on the parties' written submissions.

The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential, but that judgment on any award may be entered into, and enforced by, any court having jurisdiction. The parties acknowledge and agree that in connection with any such arbitration and regardless of outcome, each party shall pay one half of the costs and expenses of the arbitration; in addition, the Company shall reimburse the Employee's reasonable legal expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration if the Employee substantially prevails on the material issues in the arbitration. 18. Whistleblower Protections and Trade Secrets.

![](rtr-psuawardagreementmip002.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RENT THE RUNWAY, INC. SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 2021 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT Grant of Units Subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of PSU Award, this PSU Agreement (this "Agreement") and the Plan, the Company has granted to you PSUs in an amount equal to the Number of PSUs Granted as set forth in the Notice of PSU Award. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement, the Notice of PSU Award or the Plan. Payment for Units No payment is required for the PSUs that you are receiving. Vesting Schedule Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, the PSUs granted to you hereunder shall vest upon your satisfaction of both (i) the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement, and (ii) the Time-Based Vesting Requirement. Any PSUs granted hereunder that satisfy both the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement and the Time-Based Vesting Requirement shall be deemed a "Vested PSU." Performance-Based Vesting Requirement The Performance-Based Vesting Requirement will be tested upon each occurrence of an Investor Group Sale following the Date of Grant, provided that the aggregate number of Shares sold by the Investor Group to a bona fide third party or group of third parties as of such Investor Group Sale equals or exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Shares held by the Investor Group as of the Closing. Upon each such Investor Group Sale, a number of PSUs (if any) will satisfy the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement such that, when aggregated with any PSUs that previously satisfied the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement, the total number of PSUs that have satisfied the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement equals the product of (i) the Number of PSUs Granted; (ii) the Earned PSU Percentage (as determined below); and (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Shares sold by the Investor Group to one or more bona fide third parties as of immediately following such Investor Group Sale, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Shares held by the Investor Group as of the Closing, in each case, as determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion. The "Earned PSU Percentage" applicable to each Investor Group Sale shall be determined based on the Implied Equity 2

------

![](rtr-psuawardagreementmip003.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Value of the Company calculated in connection with such Investor Group Sale and shall be equal to, in the event that the Implied Equity Value of the Company (as defined below) is (i) less than $400,000,000, 0%; (ii) at least $400,000,000 but less than $1,400,000,000, 20% plus an additional 0.08% for each incremental $1,000,000 of Implied Equity Value of the Company that is above $400,000,000, and (iii) at least $1,400,000,000, 100%. Linear interpolation shall not be applied in determining the Earned PSU Percentage. For example, if the Implied Equity Value of the Company is equal to $600,000,000 and the aggregate number of Shares sold by the Investor Group to a bona fide third party or group of third parties as of such Investor Group Sale equals 30% of the Shares held by the Investor Group as of the Closing, then the Earned PSU Percentage shall be equal to 36% (i.e., 20% plus (200 \* 0.08%)), and the number of PSUs that would satisfy the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement upon such Investor Group Sale would equal 216,647 (i.e., 36% \* 30% \* the Number of PSUs Granted), with the remaining 1,789,341 PSUs subject to this Award being eligible to vest on a subsequent Investor Group Sale, subject to the terms and conditions herein. Upon the consummation of one or more Investor Group Sales resulting in the sale to a bona fide third party or group of third parties of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Shares held by the Investor Group as of the Closing (a "50% Sale"), a number of PSUs (if any) shall satisfy the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement such that, after taking into account any PSUs that previously satisfied the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement in connection with prior Investor Group Sales, the aggregate number of PSUs that have satisfied the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement equals (i) the Number of PSUs Granted, multiplied by (ii) the applicable Earned PSU Percentage in such 50% Sale. Without limiting the foregoing, if, following a 50% Sale, you remain continuously employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates through the date of any subsequent Investor Group Sale, the Implied Equity Value of the Company will be recalculated based on such subsequent sale or sales. To the extent such recalculated Implied Equity Value would have resulted in a higher Earned PSU Percentage had it applied at the time of the 50% Sale, you shall vest in such additional number of PSUs as necessary to give effect to such higher 3

------

![](rtr-psuawardagreementmip004.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Earned PSU Percentage, as determined in the Company's reasonable discretion. For example, if the Implied Equity Value of the Company is equal to $600,000,000 in a 50% Sale, then the Earned PSU Percentage shall be equal to 36% (i.e., 20% plus (200 \* 0.08%)), and the number of PSUs that would satisfy the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement, after taking into account any PSUs that have previously satisfied the Performance-Based Vesting Required, upon such Investor Group Sale would equal 722,156 PSUs, with the remaining 1,283,832 PSUs subject to this Award being eligible to vest on a subsequent Investor Group Sale, subject to the Time-Based Vesting Requirement. For purposes of this Agreement, "Implied Equity Value of the Company" means the price per share received by the Investor Group (as defined below) in connection with any transaction or transactions, the consummation of which constitute an Investor Group Sale, multiplied by the total number of Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the applicable transaction. The Board shall determine the Implied Equity Value of the Company in good faith. For purposes of this Agreement, "Investor Group Sale" means a transaction or series of related transactions resulting in the sale of any Shares held by the Investor Group to a bona fide third party or group of third parties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Investor Group" means, collectively, CHS US Investments, LLC, Gateway Runway LLC, and S3 RR Aggregator, LLC. Market Value Vesting (A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, on the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Effective Date, the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement shall be tested based on the Implied Equity Value of the Company as of such date. For this purpose, the Implied Equity Value of the Company shall be determined using the volume-weighted average price of the Shares over the ninety (90) consecutive trading days ending on (and including) such anniversary date (or, if the Shares are not traded on each such day, such other customary period as determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion). If the Implied Equity Value of the Company as of such date is less than $700,000,000, no PSUs shall satisfy the 4

![](rtr-psuawardagreementmip005.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Performance-Based Vesting Requirement pursuant to this Section. If the Implied Equity Value of the Company as of such date is at least $700,000,000 (the "Market Value Vesting Threshold"), a number of PSUs shall satisfy the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement equal to the product of: (i) the Number of PSUs Granted and (ii) the Earned PSU Percentage determined based on such Implied Equity Value. (B) Following the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Effective Date, the Implied Equity Value of the Company shall be reassessed as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company using the same volume-weighted average price methodology set forth above, as determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion. To the extent the Market Value Vesting Threshold is satisfied and the Earned PSU Percentage determined as of any such quarterly measurement date exceeds the Earned PSU Percentage used for the immediately preceding measurement date, an additional number of PSUs shall satisfy the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement equal to the incremental increase resulting from application of the foregoing formula to such higher Implied Equity Value. (C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event of your Termination of Service by the Company without Cause (as defined below) or resignation for Good Reason (as defined below) at any time on or after the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant, and provided that the Implied Equity Value of the Company as of such Termination of Service is at least $400,000,000, the Implied Equity Value shall be reassessed as of your last day of employment using the same volume-weighted average price methodology set forth above, as determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion. To the extent the Earned PSU Percentage determined as of any such measurement date exceeds the Earned PSU Percentage used for the immediately preceding measurement date, an additional number of PSUs shall satisfy the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement equal to the incremental increase resulting from application of the foregoing formula to such higher Implied Equity Value. In addition, you shall remain eligible for continued vesting under this Section for a period of nine (9) months following such Termination of Service, as if you had remained continuously employed by the Company or its Affiliates during such period, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, that for purposes of this paragraph, the Market Value Vesting Threshold shall be $400,000,000. 5

![](rtr-psuawardagreementmip006.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) In the event of your resignation for a reason other than Good Reason after the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Effective Date, provided that the Implied Equity Value of the Company as of such Termination of Service is at least $700,000,000, the Implied Equity Value of the Company shall be reassessed as of your last day of employment using the same volume-weighted average price methodology set forth above, as determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion. To the extent the Earned PSU Percentage determined as of such date exceeds the Earned PSU Percentage used for the immediately preceding measurement date, an additional number of PSUs shall satisfy the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement equal to the incremental increase resulting from application of the foregoing formula. (E) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, vesting under this Agreement shall be determined on a net, cumulative "catch-up" basis giving effect to the greatest level of vesting achieved under any applicable vesting mechanism, and in no event shall the same PSU vest more than once. Time-Based Vesting Requirement The Time-Based Vesting Requirement shall be satisfied upon each Vesting Event with respect to any PSUs that have satisfied the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement as of such Vesting Event, provided that you have not ceased to be a Service Provider prior to such Vesting Event (subject to the second paragraph of the section entitled "Forfeiture" and except as set forth in the section entitled "Market Value Vesting"). For purposes of this Agreement, "Vesting Event" means each day on which a measurement of Implied Equity Value results in an Earned PSU Percentage, including both Investor Group Sales and measurements under the Market Value Vesting section above. Forfeiture All of your unvested PSUs granted under this Agreement shall be forfeited in their entirety in the event of your Termination of Service for any reason, subject to the following paragraph of this section and except as set forth in the section entitled "Market Value Vesting". In no event will you receive payment for any PSUs that are forfeited in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph or in the section entitled 6

------

![](rtr-psuawardagreementmip007.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Time-Based Vesting Requirement," in the event of your Termination of Service by the Company without Cause or your resignation for Good Reason at any time on or following the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Time-Based Vesting Requirement shall be deemed satisfied if an Investor Group Sale occurs within the nine-month period following your Termination of Service, solely with respect to those PSUs for which the Performance-Based Vesting Requirement is satisfied as of such Investor Group Sale. The Company shall determine in good faith when your Termination of Service occurs for all purposes of your PSUs. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall have the meaning set forth in your employment agreement with the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall have the meaning set forth in your employment agreement with the Company. Settlement of Units The Vested PSUs will be settled in Shares within 60 days of the Vesting Date. However, the Company may delay any payment if such payment would violate applicable laws and, in such case, payment will be delayed until the earliest date on which the payment would not cause a violation of laws, provided that the delay will not result in an imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 409A"). At the time of settlement, you will receive one Share for each Vested PSU. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Vested PSUs be settled to the extent such settlement would cause the number of Shares issued pursuant to the Plan to exceed the Overall Share Limit. On the first regular annual meeting of the Company's stockholders following the Date of Grant, the Company shall submit for approval of the Company's stockholders at such meeting an amendment to the Plan to approve for issuance under the Plan at least such number of Shares as necessary to allow for satisfaction of all PSUs granted hereunder. The Vested PSUs shall remain subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(d) until the date that settlement may occur without 7

![](rtr-psuawardagreementmip008.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;causing the number of Shares issued pursuant to the Plan to exceed the Overall Share Limit. No fractional Shares will be issued upon settlement. Section 409A The PSUs are not intended to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A. Further, if the Company determines that you are a "specified employee," as defined in the regulations under Section 409A at the time of your "separation from service," as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and it is determined that settlement of these PSUs is not exempt from Section 409A, then any PSUs that otherwise would have been settled during the first six months following your "separation from service" will instead be settled on the first business day following the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of your separation from service or (ii) your death. Nature of Units / Limitation on Your Rights Your PSUs are mere bookkeeping entries. They represent only the Company's unfunded and unsecured promise to issue Shares with respect to your PSUs on a future date, and this Agreement may not be construed as creating a trust. As a holder of PSUs, you have no rights other than the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Stockholder Rights You, or your estate heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until your PSUs are settled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by issuing you Shares. Transfer of PSUs You cannot transfer or assign the PSUs. For instance, you may not sell the PSUs or use it as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, the PSUs will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of the PSUs in your will or by means of a written beneficiary designation; provided, however, that your beneficiary or a representative of your estate acknowledges and agrees in writing in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan as if the beneficiary of the estate were you. Withholding Taxes No stock certificates (or their electronic equivalent) will be distributed to you unless you have paid any withholding taxes that are due as a result of the vesting or settlement of the 8

![](rtr-psuawardagreementmip009.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PSUs. These arrangements include payment in cash, your personal check or arranging for a wire transfer, or payment from the proceeds of the sale of Shares through a Company-approved broker, subject to your compliance with applicable Company policies and procedures.1 With the Administrator's consent, these arrangements may also include (a) withholding Shares that otherwise would be issued to you when the PSUs are settled with a Fair Market Value no greater than the maximum amount required to be withheld by law, (b) surrendering Shares that you previously acquired with a Fair Market Value no greater than the maximum amount required to be withheld by law, or (c) any combination of the foregoing. The Fair Market Value of withheld or surrendered Shares, determined as of the date when taxes otherwise would have been withheld in cash, will be applied to the withholding taxes. If you fail to make timely payment of withholding taxes in connection with the settlement of the PSUs, the Company has the right to satisfy all or any portion of the withholding taxes by withholding Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the PSUs. Restrictions on Resale You agree not to sell any Shares issued upon settlement of the PSUs at any time when such sale is prohibited by applicable law, any Company policy applicable to the Company's directors or executive officers generally, or any agreement between the Company and its underwriters. This restriction will apply as long as your service with the Company or a Subsidiary continues and for a period of time (not to exceed 90 days or, if longer, such other period as required by applicable law) after your Termination of Service as may be specified by the Company. Retention Rights Your award of PSUs or this Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company, or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company, in any capacity. The Company and its parents and Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate your service at any time, with or without cause. Adjustments Upon the occurrence of the events described in Article VIII of the Plan, the Number of PSUs Granted and the calculation of 1 NTD: Dhiren would be required to submit an election form during an open trading window to implement a sell-to-cover arrangement for the payment of withholding taxes. 9

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Implied Equity Value of the Company may be equitably adjusted, modified or terminated in accordance with the Plan. Effect of Significant Corporate Transactions If the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, or other transactions described in Article VIII of the Plan, then your PSUs will be subject to the applicable provisions of Article VIII of the Plan; provided that Section 8.2(f) of the Plan (or any similar provision) will not be applied to the PSUs. Recoupment Policy This award, and the Shares acquired upon settlement of this award, shall be subject to any Company recoupment or clawback policy in effect on the date hereof or that is required by law to be adopted after the date hereof, including the Company's Policy Relating to Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation. Applicable Law This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to its choice-of-law provisions). The Plan and Other Agreements The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. In the event the terms of this Agreement limit, modify or address an area of discretion or otherwise conflict with the Plan, the terms of this Agreement will control. The Plan, this Agreement and the Notice of PSU Award constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding these PSUs. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning these PSUs are superseded. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be amended or otherwise suspended or terminated at any time by the Administrator or the Board; provided, that no amendment, suspension or modification may adversely affect the PSUs in any material respect without the prior written consent of the Participant. In the event that any provision of the Notice of PSU Award or this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, then the applicable provision will be severable from, and any invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Notice of PSU Award or this Agreement. By Acknowledging and Accepting this Agreement, you agree to all of the terms and conditions described above and in the Plan. 10
