4 Weighted average historical return for loans originated through Prosper as of May 31 2023 (the “Calculation Date”). To be included in the historical return (“Historical Return”) calculation, the loan must have originated (a) on or after July 1, 2009, and (b) at least 12 months prior to the Calculation Date. Historical Returns are based on actual payments (other than principal) received by the investor net of fees and losses (including from charged-off loans) on loans originated through the Prosper platform.
We calculate the Historical Return for loans originated through Prosper as follows. First, loans are separated into distinct “Groups” based on the specific month and year in which they were originated and their Prosper Rating at origination. For each Group, we calculate: (a) the sum of the interest paid, plus late fees, minus servicing fees, minus collection fees, in each case on active loans, plus net recoveries on charged-off or defaulted loans, plus net debt sale proceeds on sold loans, minus gross principal losses; divided by (b) the sum of the principal balances outstanding on active loans at the end of each day since origination. We then annualize the result to get the “Historical Return” for the Group. Once this calculation is performed for every Group, we compute the cumulative-outstanding-principal-dollar-weighted average of their Historical Returns. This gives us the “weighted average Historical Return” for loans originated through Prosper. For purposes of this calculation, “active” means loans that are either (i) current in payments or (ii) delinquent, provided that delinquent loans that have charged-off or are in default are not considered active. Loans that have paid off are also not considered active.
The Historical Return calculation (a) is updated quarterly; and (b) excludes the impact of servicing-related corrective non-cash adjustments that may modify the outstanding balance or status of a borrower loan. The actual return on any Note depends on the prepayment and delinquency pattern of the loan underlying each Note, which is highly uncertain. Individual results may vary. Historical performance is no guarantee of future results and the information presented is not intended to be investment advice or a guarantee about the performance of any Note.
