Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously disclosed on a Form 8-K filed on February 14, 2023 (“February 14 8-K”), Mr. McCreight voluntarily forfeited 161,396 unvested stock options of Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company at that time expected the forfeiture to result in cost savings to the Company in connection with the compensation expense the Company had accrued or would need to accrue on its financial statements relating to the unvested options.
On February 27, 2023, the Company learned of a required change in the analysis of the accounting impact of the forfeiture and determined that the forfeiture will not result in the expected cost savings as reported in the February 14 8-K. Instead, the Company expects the forfeiture will result in an immediate acceleration of the remaining $1.2 million of compensation expense related to the unvested stock options in the first quarter of 2023.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this Form 8-K are forward-looking statements, including but not limited to statements regarding our expectations around the accounting impact related to Mr. McCreight’s voluntary forfeiture of unvested stock options, the compensation expense related to the forfeiture, and the impact on the Company's financial results for first quarter of 2023. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to our ability to accurately estimate the accounting impact and compensation expense associated with the forfeiture of Mr. McCreight’s unvested stock options, and accurately predict the impact on the Company's financial results for the first quarter of 2023. These and other important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Lulus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this Form 8-K. The forward-looking statements in this Form 8-K are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Form 8-K, 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. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 8-K. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.
