As a 04852 native, I am pleased to announce that our securities filing has been cleared by the great state of Maine. So, whichever of the 16 counties of our state (whether it's Cumberland or Franklin) you call home, now you can put your cash to work with Lending Club. Just when you thought you'd have to wait until "So You Think You Know Maine" makes its broadcast return, our offering was cleared for Maine investors. In any event, to me it’s simply wicked cool. And as usual, Notes are offered by prospectus registered with the SEC.

We are happy to report that our offering was cleared by the State of New Hampshire yesterday morning. Lenders who are New Hampshire residents can now buy notes from Lending Club. We have set up a big map in our office that shows weekly progress as state approvals trickle in - here is the smaller version of it:

Other states already cleared include Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. We are hoping to keep adding a few states each week for the next few weeks as we get clearance from state authorities, and will post regular updates and notify members directly as the list grows longer.

Keep in mind that state limitations do not apply to the Note Trading Platform operated by FOLIOfn, and all lenders can buy or sell Notes among themselves irrespective of their state of residence.

The Notes are offered by Prospectus.
