Executive Compensation and Financial Highlights
Compensation Philosophy and Design
We strive to compensate our named executive officers in a manner that is competitive, rewards achievement of our business objectives, and aligns the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders. Generally, we structure the annual compensation of our named executive officers using three principal elements: base salary, annual cash incentive opportunities, and long-term incentive compensation opportunities in the form of equity awards. We have designed our executive compensation program to achieve the following primary objectives:

Provide market competitive compensation and benefit levels to attract, motivate, reward and retain
Establish a direct link between our financial and operational objectives and our compensation
Align the interests and objectives of our named executive officers with our stockholders by linking long-term incentive compensation opportunities to stockholder value creation and cash incentives to annual performance

Financial Highlights*

GMV $20.2B ↑30.3%** | Active Consumers 16.5M ↑17.8%** | Total Revenue $1,588M ↑17.7%**
Revenue Less Transaction Costs $676M ↑2%** | Operating Income (Loss) ($1,201)M | Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) ($72)M

In addition, refer to Appendix A for a discussion of total revenue less transaction costs and adjusted operating loss, which are non-GAAP financial measures, as well as reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Director Independence
Our Class A common stock is listed on Nasdaq. Under the listing standards of Nasdaq, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors within a specified period after the completion of its initial public offering. In addition, the listing standards of Nasdaq require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees be independent. Audit committee members and compensation committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 and Rule 10C-1, respectively, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Under the listing standards of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and has determined that each of Mses. Ming, Quarles and Reses and Messrs. Liew, Rabois, Sánchez, Watson and White is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards of Nasdaq. In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant
7

TABLE OF CONTENTS
in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them, if any, described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related-Party Transactions.”
There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.
Board Leadership Structure
Mr. Levchin, our Founder and CEO, serves as Chairman of our Board and presides over meetings of our Board, holds such other powers, and carries out such other duties as are customarily carried out by the chair of a board. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight, and expertise from outside of our company, while Messrs. Levchin and Michalek each bring current company-specific experience, leadership, and insight as our Founder and Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively.
Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that provide that one of our independent directors may serve as our Lead Independent Director if the Chair is not independent. Our Board has appointed Mr. White to serve as our Lead Independent Director. As Lead Independent Director, Mr. White presides over periodic meetings of our independent directors, serves as a liaison between our Chair and our independent directors, and performs such additional duties as our Board may otherwise determine and delegate. Our Board believes that our existing board leadership structure is appropriate and provides independent leadership and engagement from the Lead Independent Director, while providing the benefit of having our CEO, the individual with primary responsibility for managing the company’s day-to-day operations, chair regular Board meetings as key business and strategic issues are discussed.
Board and Stockholder Meetings and Committees
Our Board has established three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Governance Committee. Each of our standing committees operates under a written charter that complies with the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Each of the charters is posted on the “Corporate Governance” section of our investor relations website at investors.affirm.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (“fiscal 2023”), our Board held four meetings (including regularly scheduled and special meetings), our Audit Committee met eight times, our Compensation Committee met six times, and our Nominating and Governance Committee met four times. With the exception of Mr. Rabois, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our Board held during the period for which he or she served as a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board on which he or she served during the periods that he or she served.
Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our Board at annual meetings of stockholders, we encourage, but do not require, our directors to attend. Eight of our then current serving directors attended last year’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees
Our Nominating and Governance Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating potential director candidates. In its evaluation of director candidates, including the current directors eligible for re-election, our Nominating and Governance Committee will consider the current size and composition of our Board and the needs of our Board and the respective committees of our Board. Some of the qualifications that our Nominating and Governance Committee considers include, without limitation, experience and skills of particular relevance to us and the Board, accomplishments, superior credentials, business judgment, diversity, independence, area of expertise, time availability in light of other commitments, and the highest ethical and moral standards. Although our Board does not maintain a specific policy with respect to board diversity, our Board believes that the board should be a diverse body, and the Nominating and Governance Committee considers a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. In making determinations regarding nominations of directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee actively seeks to identify candidates who reflect diverse backgrounds, including diversity of race, ethnicity and gender. Specifically, in any formal search for Board candidates where an initial candidate pool is assembled, the Nominating and Governance Committee will include, and will request that any search firm that it engages for such a search include, qualified candidates with a diversity of race,
12

TABLE OF CONTENTS
ethnicity and gender in that initial candidate pool. After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, our Nominating and Governance Committee recommends to our full Board the director nominees for selection.
Stockholder Recommendations for Nominations to the Board of Directors
The Nominating and Governance Committee considers director candidates recommended by stockholders. Stockholders may recommend a candidate by writing to the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s address listed on the first page of this proxy statement, and including all information that our bylaws require for director nominations. The Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates director candidates submitted by stockholders in the same manner in which it evaluates other director candidate s.
Investor Outreach
We seek regular engagement with investors to communicate our strategy and solicit feedback from the investment community. Management periodically engages a third-party consultant to obtain independent feedback from our investors. In fiscal 2023, management participated in a number of investor conferences and meetings, both virtual and in-person. These meetings were attended by various members of the Company’s senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and/or Senior Vice Presidents. Management periodically discusses feedback, including key themes and other insights gained from the investor outreach meetings, at the Company’s Board and committee meetings, as appropriate.
In addition to our traditional investor relations outreach program, in fiscal 2023, our Lead Independent Director and the Chair of our Compensation Committee, along with members of our senior management, conducted a virtual governance roadshow that included presentations and discussions regarding governance, compensation and other matters with certain of our investors. During this governance roadshow, we met with investors, who we believe held in the aggregate approximately 34.3% of our outstanding common stock with approximately 25.7% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock as of August 21, 2023, and we offered such meetings to additional investors, who we believe held in the aggregate approximately 18.6% of our outstanding common stock with approximately 4.9% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock as of August 21, 2023. Excluding the holdings by our directors and executive officers, we conducted outreach to investors who we believe represented approximately 59.2% of our outstanding common stock with approximately 48.4% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock as of August 21, 2023, which includes meetings with investors representing approximately 38.4% of our outstanding common stock with approximately 40.7% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock as of August 21, 2023. This dialogue provided an opportunity to discuss a wide range of topics with our investors, including our directors’ skills and tenure, our Board’s oversight roles and responsibilities, our ESG program, and our approach to executive compensation matters. Our Board of Directors, as well as our management team, values the perspectives of our investors as it helps us to understand and evaluate the effectiveness of our current practices and related disclosures.
Communications with the Board of Directors
Interested parties wishing to communicate with our independent directors may do so by writing to the Board or to the particular member or members of our Board and mailing the correspondence to our Chief Legal Officer at the Company’s address listed on the first page of this proxy statement. Our Chief Legal Officer or Legal Department, in consultation with appropriate members of our Board, as necessary, will review all incoming communications and, if appropriate, all such communications will be forwarded to the appropriate member or members of our Board, or if none is specified, to the Chairman of our Board.
Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines. These guidelines address items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of our directors and director candidates and corporate governance policies and standards applicable to us
13

TABLE OF CONTENTS
in general. In addition, our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our CEO, Chief Financial Officer, and other executive and senior financial officers. The full text of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is posted on our investor relations webpage at investors.affirm.com in the “Corporate Governance—Documents and Charters” section. We intend to post any amendments to our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, and any waivers of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for directors and executive officers, on the same website.
Role of the Board in Risk Oversight
One of the key functions of our Board is informed oversight of our risk management process which risks include, among others, strategic, financial, business and operational, cybersecurity, legal and regulatory compliance, and reputational risks. Our Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through its standing committees that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure. Our Audit Committee is responsible for discussing our major litigation and financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. In addition to oversight of the performa nce of our independent auditor, our Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, reviews related party transactions and oversees the integrity of our information technology systems. Our Nominating and Governance Committee develops and reviews our Corporate Governance Guidelines and oversees our environmental- and governance-related ESG activities and programs. Our Compensation Committee reviews with management our compensation arrangements to evaluate whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking, reviews the relationship between risk management policies and practice, corporate strategy and our compensation arrangements, and oversees our human capital-related ESG activities and programs.
Non-Employee Director Compensation
Our Board maintains a compensation policy for our non-employee directors (the “director compensation policy”) that is designed to attract, retain and reward our non-employee directors. The director compensation policy was originally developed with input from the Compensation Committee’s former independent compensation consultant, Compensia, Inc., taking into account existing practices and compensation levels at peer group companies. In June 2023, our Compensation Committee reviewed the director compensation policy and, with input from the Compensation Committee’s current compensation consultant, Semler Brossy Consulting Group, LLC, and taking into account existing practices and compensation levels at peer group companies, decided not to make any changes at that time.
Pursuant to the terms of the director compensation policy, our non-employee directors receive the compensation described in the table below.

Cash Compensation(1)
Annual retainer(2) |  | $45,000
Lead Independent Director retainer |  | $28,000

We reimburse each non-employee director for ordinary, necessary, and reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses to cover in-person att endance at and participation in meetings of our Board and any committee of the Board. Our directors who are also employees, Messrs. Levchin and Michalek, do not receive any additional compensation for their services as directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
PROPOSAL NO. 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our Board is currently composed of nine members. In accordance with our certificate of incorporation, our Board is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. One class is elected each year at the annual meeting of stockholders for a term of three years. At the Annual Meeting, three Class III directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the same class whose term is then expiring. Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of such director’s successor, or such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.
Nominees
Our Board has nominated Max Levchin, Jeremy Liew, and James D. White for election as Class III directors at the Annual Meeting. If elected, each of Messrs. Levchin, Liew and White will serve as Class III directors until the 2026 Annual Meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal. Each of the nominees is currently a director of the Company. For information concerning the nominees, see the section entitled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance.”
If you are a stockholder of record and you sign your proxy card or vote over the internet or by telephone but do not give instructions with respect to the voting of directors, your shares will be voted FOR the election of Messrs. Levchin, Liew and White. We expect that Messrs. Levchin, Liew and White will accept such nomination; however, in the event that a director nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who shall be designated by our Board to fill such vacancy. If you are a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock and you do not give voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, then your broker, bank or other nominee will leave your shares unvoted on this matter.
Vote Required
Each Class III director is elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to the election of directors at the Annual Meeting. A majority of the votes cast means that the voting power of the shares cast “FOR” a director’s election exceeds the voting power of the shares cast “AGAINST” that director. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
In the event that an incumbent nominee for director in an uncontested election does not receive the required majority vote, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that such director is expected to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee will then consider the relevant factors and recommend to the Board the action to be taken with respect to such offer of resignation. The Board will then act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation. Within 90 days after the date of the certification of election results, we will publicly disclose the Board’s decision whether to accept the offer of resignation.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the nominees named in this proxy statement as Class III Directors to serve for a three-year term.

PROPOSAL NO. 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Our Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP, as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2020.
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders are being asked to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Stockholder ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP is not required by our bylaws or other applicable legal requirements. However, our Board is submitting the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. In the event that this appointment is not ratified by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote, our Audit Committee will consider the outcome of the vote in determining whether to retain this firm for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Even if the appointment is ratified, our Audit Committee, in its sole discretion, may appoint another independent registered public accounting firm at any time during our fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 if our Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. A representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she wishes to do so, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

(1)The amount of audit fees paid to Deloitte & Touche LLP for fiscal 2022 reported in this table differs from the amount previously reported in our 2022 proxy statement due to certain fees incurred as part of the Company’s fiscal 2022 audit being inadvertently omitted from the prior filing.
(2)“Audit Fees” consisted of fees for professional services provided in connection with the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements (including the adoption of new accounting standards and certain other accounting consultations), quarterly reviews of interim condensed consolidated financial statements, SEC registration statements, and related administrative charges.
(3)“Audit-Related Fees” consisted of fees for professional services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements not reported as “Audit Fees.” This category includes fees related to acquisition support due diligence procedures and fees related to service organization controls reporting.
(4)“Tax Fees” related to professional services rendered in connection with tax compliance and preparation relating to tax returns and tax audits, as well as for tax consulting and planning services.
Auditor Independence
In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, there were no other professional services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP that would have required our Audit Committee to consider their compatibility with maintaining the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the compensation program for our CEO, our Chief Financial Officer, and our next two most highly compensated executive officers (other than our CEO and Chief Financial Officer), whom we refer to as our named executive officers. For fiscal 2023, our named executive officers were:

Name 1 | Position
Max Levchin | Founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors
Michael Linford | Chief Financial Officer
Libor Michalek | President and Director
Katherine Adkins | Chief Legal Officer

(1) We had only four “executive officers” as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act during fiscal 2023 and therefore had only four named executive officers for that fiscal year.
Executive Summary
Who We Are
We founded Affirm in 2012 with a mission to deliver honest financial products that improve lives. We are building the next generation platform for digital and mobile-first commerce. We believe by using modern technology, the very best engineering talent, and a mission-driven approach we can reinvent the payment experience. Our solutions, which are built on trust and transparency, make it easier for consumers to spend responsibly and with confidence, easier for merchants to convert sales and grow, and easier for commerce to thrive.
Fiscal 2023 Business Highlights
Fiscal 2023 was a year marked by significant achievements across our business. Fiscal 2023 business highlights included the following:
Financial Highlights
•Total revenue was $1.6 billion, an 18% increase from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”)
•Total revenue less transaction costs* was $675.5 million compared to $662.4 million in fiscal 2022
•Operating loss was $1,200.9 million compared to $866.0 million in fiscal 2022
•Adjusted operating loss* was $72.3 million compared to an adjusted operating loss of $78.3 million in fiscal 2022
•Net loss was $985.3 million compared to $707.4 million in fiscal 2022
•Exited the fiscal year profitable on an adjusted operating income* basis
Operating Highlights
•Gross merchandise volume (“GMV”)** was $20.2 billion, a 30% increase from fiscal 2022
•Active consumers increased 18% from June 30, 2022 to 16.5 million consumers as of June 30, 2023
•Transactions per active consumer increased 30% from June 30, 2022 to approximately 3.9 transactions as of June 30, 2023
* Refer to Appendix A for additional discussion of total revenue less transaction costs and adjusted operating loss, which are non-GAAP financial measures, as well as reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
** GMV is a key operating metric that we define as the total dollar amount of all transactions on the Affirm platform during the applicable period, net of refunds. GMV does not represent revenue earned by us. However, we believe that GMV is a useful operating metric to both us and investors in assessing the volume of transactions that take place on the Affirm platform, which is an indicator of the success of our merchants and the strength of the Affirm platform.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Fiscal 2023 Executive Compensation Highlights
The Compensation Committee took the following key actions with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers for and during fiscal 2023:
•Base Salaries. In connection with the Compensation Committee's annual review of our executive compensation program, the Committee maintained the annual base salaries of our named executive officers (other than our CEO) at their fiscal 2022 levels. In addition, in June 2022, the Board increased our CEO's base salary effective as of July 1, 2022 to align with minimum wage requirements under applicable San Francisco laws in effect at that time.
•Annual Cash Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee set short-term financial and operational performance targets under our annual cash incentive plan for our named executive officers (other than our CEO), as well as a funding gate, whereby no payout under the cash incentive plan would occur unless the Company achieved a certain level of total revenue. We did not meet this funding gate and therefore did not approve any annual cash incentive plan payments for fiscal 2023.
•Long-Term Incentive Compensation. The Compensation Committee approved grants to our named executive officers (other than our CEO) of time-vesting options to purchase shares of our Class A common stock and time-vesting grants of restricted stock units, or RSUs, with time-based vesting that upon vesting will settle in shares of our Class A common stock. Equity awards granted in fiscal 2023 to our named executive officers (other than our CEO) serve to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders and help to retain our executives over the four-year vesting period.
Pay-for-Performance
We believe our compensation program attracts, motivates, rewards and retains our executives by aligning their interests with those of stockholders. To ensure this alignment, to motivate individual initiative and effort, and reward results, a substantial portion of our named executive officers’ target annual total direct compensation opportunity is both variable in nature and “at-risk.”
We emphasize variable compensation that appropriately rewards our named executive officers through two separate compensation elements:
•First, our named executive officers (other than our CEO) participate in our annual cash incentive plan, which provides those officers with the opportunity to earn cash incentive payments based on achievement of short-term financial and operational performance targets set by the Compensation Committee. The performance measures, including the funding gate, applicable to our cash incentive plan in fiscal 2023 are described below.
•Second, for our named executive officers (other than our CEO), we grant time-vesting options to purchase shares of our Class A common stock and time-vesting RSUs that will settle in shares of our Class A common stock. The options and RSUs granted in fiscal 2023 vest in equal monthly installments for a period of 48 months, subject to the recipient’s continued service as of each vesting date. The value of these awards is closely linked to the value of our Class A common stock, thereby aligning the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders.
We believe that this design provides balanced incentives for our named executive officers to drive both short-term financial performance and long-term growth.
Executive Compensation Policies and Practices
We endeavor to maintain sound governance standards consistent with our executive compensation policies and practices. The Compensation Committee evaluates our executive compensation program on a regular basis to ensure that it is consistent with our short-term and long-term goals, given the dynamic nature of our business and the market in which we compete for executive talent. The following summarizes our key executive compensation-related policies and practices:
22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What We Do
ü | Maintain an Independent Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee consists solely of independent directors who establish our executive compensation policies and practices.
ü | Retain an Independent Compensation Consultant. The Compensation Committee retains its own compensation consultant to provide information, analysis, and other advice on executive compensation matters independent of management. This consultant performed no other consulting or other services for us in fiscal 2023.
ü | Conduct an Annual Executive Compensation Review. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves our executive compensation strategy at least annually. This assessment includes a review and determination of our compensation peer group used for comparative purposes.
ü | Conduct an Annual Compensation-Related Risk Assessment. The Compensation Committee reviews our compensation-related risk profile to ensure that our compensation program does not encourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking and that the level of risk that it does encourage is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.
ü | Significant Portion of Target Total Direct Compensation “At-Risk”. A significant portion of our named executive officers’ target annual total direct compensation is “at risk” based on our financial and operational results and our stock price performance to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders.
ü | Stock Ownership Guidelines. We maintain stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers and members of our Board to further align the interests of those individuals with those of our stockholders.
ü | Establish Multi-Year Vesting Requirements. The equity awards granted to our named executive officers vest or, in the case of our CEO, are earned, over multi-year periods, consistent with current market practice and our retention objectives.
ü | Maintain “Double-Trigger” Change in Control Arrangements. All payments and other benefits that our named executive officers may be eligible to receive under our Officer Severance Plan in the event of a change in control of the Company are “double-trigger” arrangements (requiring both a change in control of the Company plus a qualifying termination of employment before payments and benefits are paid). All such payments and benefits are subject to the execution and delivery of an effective general release of claims in favor of the Company.
ü | Provide Only Nominal Cash Compensation to Our CEO. Our CEO receives only a nominal cash base salary and does not participate in our annual cash incentive plan. In fiscal 2021, we granted a special equity award to our CEO, which is divided into ten tranches that our CEO may earn by satisfying a performance condition within a five-year period from the date of grant. Therefore, substantially all of our CEO’s compensation is “at-risk” and performance based.
ü | Conduct Succession Planning. We review the risks associated with our key executive officer positions in order to develop and implement appropriate succession plans for our most critical positions.

What We Don’t Do
û | No Executive Retirement Plans. We do not currently offer defined benefit pension plans or any non-qualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements to our named executive officers. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our 401(k) retirement plan on the same basis as our other employees.
û | Limited Perquisites. Perquisites or other personal benefits are not a significant part of our compensation program for our named executive officers. While the Company provides our CEO with personal security services, the Compensation Committee believes that amounts paid by the Company for these security services have been reasonable, necessary and for the Company’s benefit.
û | No Excise Tax Payments on Future Post-Employment Compensation Arrangements. We do not provide our named executive officers with excise tax reimbursement payments (including “gross-ups”) on payments or benefits contingent upon a change in control of the Company.
û | No Special Health or Welfare Benefits. We do not provide our named executive officers with any health or welfare benefit programs, other than participation in our broad-based employee programs on the same basis as our other full-time, salaried employees.
û | No Hedging of Company Stock. Under our Insider Trading Policy, our employees, including our named executive officers, and the members of our Board are prohibited from making short sales and engaging in transactions in publicly traded options, warrants, puts and calls or similar instruments with respect to our securities. This includes any hedging or similar transaction designed to decrease the risks associated with holding our common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Our executive compensation program is guided by our overarching philosophy of paying for high and demonstrable performance. We strive to compensate our named executive officers in a manner that is competitive, rewards achievement of our business objectives, and aligns the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders. Consistent with this philosophy, we have designed our executive compensation program to achieve the following primary objectives:
•provide market competitive compensation and benefit levels that will attract, motivate, reward and retain our named executive officers within the context of responsible cost management;
•establish a direct link between our financial and operational objectives and the compensation of our named executive officers;
•align the interests and objectives of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders by linking their long-term incentive compensation opportunities to stockholder value creation and their cash incentives to our annual performance; and
•offer total compensation opportunities to our named executive officers that are competitive, internally consistent and fair.
Generally, we structure the annual compensation of our named executive officers using three principal elements: base salary, annual cash incentive opportunities, and long-term incentive compensation opportunities in the form of equity awards.
Compensation-Setting Process
Role of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee discharges the responsibilities of our Board relating to the compensation of our executive officers (other than our CEO). The Compensation Committee has the overall responsibility for overseeing our compensation and benefits policies generally, and overseeing, evaluating and approving the compensation plans, policies and practices applicable to our named executive officers (other than our CEO). The independent members of our Board discharge the responsibilities of our Board relating to the compensation of our CEO.
In carrying out its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee (or, in the case of our CEO, the independent directors) evaluates our compensation policies and practices with a focus on the degree to which these policies and practices reflect our executive compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee also develops strategies and makes decisions that it believes further our philosophy taking into consideration best compensation practices. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of our named executive officers when making decisions with respect to their compensation and recommendations for the compensation of our CEO.
The Compensation Committee’s authority, duties and responsibilities are further described in its charter, which is reviewed annually and revised as warranted. The charter is available on the “Corporate Governance” section of our investor relations website at investors.affirm.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview.
The Compensation Committee retains a compensation consultant (as described below) to provide support in the review and assessment of our executive compensation program; however, the Compensation Committee (or, in the case of our CEO, the independent directors) exercises its own judgment in making final decisions with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers.
Role of Management
In discharging its responsibilities, the members of the Compensation Committee work with members of our management, including our CEO. Our management assists the Compensation Committee by providing information on corporate and individual performance, market compensation data, and management’s perspective on compensation matters. The Compensation Committee solicits and reviews our CEO’s proposals with respect to program structures, as well as his recommendations for adjustments to base salaries, annual cash incentive compensation, and long-term incentive
24

TABLE OF CONTENTS
compensation opportunities, and other compensation-related matters for our named executive officers (except with respect to his own compensation).
At least once each fiscal year, our CEO reviews the performance of our other named executive officers based on such individual’s level of success in accomplishing business objectives and his or her overall performance and then shares these evaluations with, and makes compensation recommendations to, the Compensation Committee. The members of the Compensation Committee review and discuss our CEO’s proposals and recommendations with our CEO and consider them as one factor in determining and approving the compensation of our named executive officers (other than our CEO). Our CEO also generally attends meetings of our Board and the Compensation Committee at which executive compensation matters are addressed, except with respect to discussions involving his own compensation.
Role of the Compensation Consultant
The members of the Compensation Committee have the authority to retain an external compensation consultant to assist them by providing information, analysis and other advice relating to the compensation of our named executive officers, including the authority to approve the consultant’s reasonable fees and other retention terms. The compensation consultant reports directly to the Compensation Committee and its chair and serves at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, which reviews the engagement annually.
In fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee engaged Compensia, a national compensation consulting firm, to serve as its compensation consultant to advise on executive compensation matters, including competitive market pay practices for our named executive officers, and with the data analysis and selection of the compensation peer group. In March 2023, the Compensation Committee ended its engagement of Compensia and engaged Semler Brossy, a national compensation consulting firm, as its new compensation consultant.
During fiscal 2023, representatives of Compensia or Semler Brossy, as applicable, attended the meetings of the Compensation Committee, both with and without management present, as requested and provided various services, including the following:
•the review, analysis, and selection of our compensation peer group;
•the review and analysis of the base salary levels, annual cash incentive opportunities, and long-term incentive compensation opportunities of our named executive officers against competitive market data based on the companies in our compensation peer group and in selected compensation surveys;
•an assessment of executive compensation trends within our industry, and update on corporate governance and regulatory issues and developments;
•an executive compensation risk assessment;
•consultation with the Compensation Committee chair or the independent directors between meetings;
•the review and input into the design of our incentive plans; and
•support on other ad hoc matters throughout the fiscal year.
The terms of Compensia’s and Semler Brossy’s respective engagements include reporting directly to the Compensation Committee chair. During fiscal 2023, neither Compensia nor Semler Brossy provided any other services to us.
The Compensation Committee has evaluated its relationships with Compensia and Semler Brossy, respectively, to assess each compensation consultant’s independence from management. This evaluation process included a review of the respective services that each of Compensia and Semler Brossy provided during fiscal 2023 and the fees associated with those services. Based on this review, as well as consideration of the factors affecting independence set forth in Exchange Act Rule 10C-1(b)(4), Rule 5605(d)(3)(D) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, and such other factors as were deemed relevant under the circumstances, the Compensation Committee has determined that no conflict of interest was raised as a result of the work performed by Compensia or Semler Brossy, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Setting Base Salaries, Long-Term Incentive Compensation Opportunities and Annual Incentive Compensation Opportunities
The Compensation Committee reviews the base salary levels, long-term incentive compensation opportunities and annual incentive compensation arrangements of our named executive officers at the beginning of each calendar or fiscal year, or more frequently as warranted. Adjustments are generally effective at the beginning of the calendar or fiscal year, as applicable.
The Compensation Committee does not establish a specific target for formulating the base salaries, long-term incentive opportunities and annual incentive compensation opportunities of our named executive officers. In making decisions about the compensation of our named executive officers (other than the compensation of our CEO), the members of the Compensation Committee consider a variety of factors, including the following:

Factors Considered by the Compensation Committee in Determining Compensation
•our executive compensation program objectives
•our performance against the financial and operational objectives established by our Board
•each individual named executive officer’s knowledge, skills, experience, qualifications and tenure
•the scope of each named executive officer’s role and responsibilities compared to other similarly situated executives at the companies in our compensation peer group and in selected compensation surveys
•the prior performance of each individual named executive officer, based on a subjective assessment of his or her contributions to our overall performance, ability to lead his or her business unit or function and work as part of a team, all of which reflect our core values
•the potential of each individual named executive officer to contribute to our long-term financial and operational objectives
•compensation parity among our named executive officers
•our financial performance relative to our compensation and performance peers
•the compensation practices of our compensation peer group and in selected compensation surveys and the positioning of each named executive officer’s compensation in a ranking of peer company compensation levels based on an analysis of competitive market data
•the recommendations of our CEO with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers (except with respect to his own compensation)

These factors provide the framework for compensation decision-making regarding the compensation opportunity for each named executive officer. No single factor is determinative in setting compensation levels, nor is the impact of any individual factor on the determination of compensation levels quantifiable.
The members of the Compensation Committee do not weigh these factors in any predetermined manner, nor do they apply any formulas in making their compensation decisions or recommendations. The members of the Compensation Committee consider this information in light of their individual experience, knowledge of the Company, knowledge of the competitive market, knowledge of each named executive officer and business judgment in making their decisions and recommendations.
The members of the Compensation Committee do not engage in benchmarking against other companies’ compensation programs or practices to set compensation levels or make specific compensation decisions with respect to our named executive officers. Instead, in making its determinations, the members of the Compensation Committee review information summarizing the compensation at a representative group of peer companies and in selected compensation surveys, to the extent that the executive positions at these companies are considered comparable to our positions and informative of the competitive environment, to gain a general understanding of market compensation levels.
Competitive Positioning
The Compensation Committee believes that peer group comparisons are useful guides to evaluate the competitiveness of our executive compensation program and related policies and practices. For purposes of assessing the compensation of our named executive officers against the competitive market, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the
26

TABLE OF CONTENTS
compensation levels and practices of a select group of peer companies. This compensation peer group consists primarily of technology companies that are similar to us in terms of revenue, market capitalization, and industry focus. The competitive data drawn from this compensation peer group is only one of several factors considered in making decisions and recommendations with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers.
The compensation peer group for purposes of setting fiscal 2023 compensation of our named executive officers, which was developed by the Compensation Committee in June 2022 with the assistance of Compensia, was composed of publicly traded technology companies against which we compete for executive talent. In identifying and recommending the companies to comprise the compensation peer group, the Compensation Committee and Compensia considered the following primary criteria:
•publicly traded companies headquartered in the United States or Canada and traded on a major United States stock exchange within related or adjacent industries as us;
•similar revenues – within a range of ~0.5x to ~2.0x of our then trailing four fiscal quarters’ revenue of approximately $1,247 million (approximately $624 million to approximately $2,494 million); and
•similar market capitalization – within a range of ~0.25x to ~4.00x of our then 200-day average market capitalization of approximately $23.7 billion (approximately $5.9 billion to approximately $94.8 billion).
This compensation peer group for purposes of determining the fiscal 2023 compensation of our named executive officers consisted of the following companies:
Fiscal 2023 Peer Group(1)

Bill.com Holdings | Fair Isaac | Paychex | The Trade Desk | Zscaler
Block | HubSpot(2) | Paycom Software | Tradeweb Markets(2) |
Coupa Software | MarketAxess Holdings | Paylocity Holding | Upstart Holdings(2) |
Datadog | MongoDB(2) | Shopify | WEX |
Dropbox | Okta | SoFi Technologies(2) | Zendesk |

(1) The following companies were removed from the peer group used to evaluate fiscal 2023 compensation decisions: Afterpay, Proofpoint, Lemonade and Q2 Holdings. These companies were removed due to a difference in size and scale or lack of available compensation data following an acquisition.
(2) Represents a new peer company for fiscal 2023, which was selected based on the peer group selection criteria outlined above.
This compensation peer group was used by the Compensation Committee and independent directors as a reference for understanding the competitive market for executive positions in our industry. The Compensation Committee and independent directors also reviewed survey data from Radford Global Technology Survey for software companies with similar size, scale, complexity, and geographic location as a reference when determining the total compensation packages for our named executive officers, including base salary, annual cash incentive opportunities and long-term incentive compensation opportunities.
The Compensation Committee reviews our compensation peer group at least annually and makes adjustments to its composition if warranted, taking into account changes in both our business and the businesses of the companies in the compensation peer group.
Compensation Elements
Generally, our executive compensation program consists of three principal elements – base salary, annual cash incentive opportunities, and long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards:
27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Element | Type of Element | Compensation Element |  | Objective
Base Salary | Fixed | Cash |  | Attract and retain executives by providing fixed compensation amounts that are competitive in the market and reward performance
Annual Cash Incentive Opportunities | Variable | Cash |  | Motivate our executives to achieve annual business objectives and provide financial incentives when we meet or exceed these objectives
Long-Term Incentive Compensation in the Form of Equity Awards | Variable | Equity awards in the form of options to purchase shares of our Class A common stock and RSU awards that settle for shares of our Class A common stock |  | Align the interests of our executives and our stockholders by motivating them to create sustainable long-term stockholder value

Base Salary
Base salary represents the fixed portion of the compensation of our named executive officers and is intended to attract and retain highly talented individuals. Generally, we use base salary to provide each named executive officer with a specified level of cash compensation during the fiscal year with the expectation that he or she will perform his or her responsibilities to the best of his or her ability and in our best interests.
Generally, we establish the initial base salary of each of our named executive officers through arm’s-length negotiation at the time we hire the individual, taking into account his or her position, qualifications, experience, prior salary level, and the base salaries of our other executive officers. Thereafter, the members of the Compensation Committee review the base salaries of our named executive officers each year as part of its annual review of our executive compensation program. With input from our CEO (except with respect to his own base salary), the Compensation Committee makes adjustments to base salary as they determine to be reasonable and necessary to reflect the scope of a named executive officer’s performance, individual contributions and responsibilities. The Compensation Committee also considers positioning in the case of a promotion and market conditions.
In June 2022, the Compensation Committee reviewed the base salaries of our named executive officers, taking into consideration a competitive market analysis prepared by Compensia and the recommendations of our CEO (except with respect to his own base salary), as well as the other factors described in “Compensation-Setting Process—Setting Base Salaries, Long-Term Incentive Compensation Opportunities and Annual Incentive Compensation Opportunities” above. Following this review, the Compensation Committee determined to maintain the base salaries of each of our named executive officers (other than our CEO’s base salary which was adjusted by our Board, effective as of July 1, 2022, to comply wit h minimum wage requirements under applicable San Francisco laws in effect at that time).
During fiscal 2023, the base salaries of our named executive officers were as follows:

Named Executive Officer | Fiscal 2022 Ending Base Salary ($)(1) |  | Fiscal 2023 Base Salary ($) |  | Percentage Adjustment (%)
Max Levchin | 29,122 |  | 35,340 |  | 21 | %
Michael Linford | 475,000 |  | 475,000 |  | — | %
Libor Michalek | 475,000 |  | 475,000 |  | — | %
Katherine Adkins | 425,000 |  | 425,000 |  | — | %

(1) These base salaries were effective as of January 1, 2022.
The base salaries paid to our named executive officers during fiscal 2023 are set forth in the “Fiscal 2023 Summary Compensation Table” below.
Annual Cash Incentive Plan Opportunities: Cash Incentive Plan
We use a cash incentive plan to provide our named executive officers (other than our CEO) with the opportunity to earn

TABLE OF CONTENTS
cash incentive plan awards based upon the achievement of Company short-term financial and operational performance goals. We use the cash incentive plan to motivate our named executive officers (other than our CEO) to achieve our financial and operational performance goals. Mr. Levchin does not participate in the cash incentive plan.
Pursuant to the cash incentive plan, the Compensation Committee establishes a target cash incentive plan opportunity for each participant in the plan with actual awards payable based on actual performance against established financial and operational goals during the applicable performance period. For fiscal 2023, the performance period was July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.
To be eligible to earn cash incentive plan awards, a participant has to remain continually employed by us through the end of the applicable performance period. Earned cash incentive plan awards, if any, are paid in cash within two and one-half months following the end of the applicable performance period and after the Compensation Committee has determined and certified the level of performance achieved and the amount of the cash incentive plan awards earned.
Fiscal 2023 Target Cash Incentive Plan Opportunities
Pursuant to the cash incentive plan, the Compensation Committee established a target cash incentive plan opportunity for each named executive officer (other than our CEO) based upon a specific percentage of each named executive officer’s actual base salary paid during the applicable performance period. In setting these percentages, the Compensation Committee took into consideration a competitive market analysis prepared by Compensia and the recommendations of our CEO, as well as the other factors described in “Compensation-Setting Process—Setting Base Salaries, Long-Term Incentive Compensation Opportunities and Annual Incentive Compensation Opportunities” above. Taking those factors into consideration, the Compensation Committee decided to retain for fiscal 2023 the same target cash incentive plan opportunity percentages for the named executive officers as were in effect at the end of fiscal 2022. In making that decision, the Compensation Committee noted that, due to the fact that Ms. Adkins’ target cash incentive plan opportunity had been increased from 50% to 60% at the midpoint of fiscal 2022, Ms. Adkins’ full-year fiscal 2023 target cash incentive plan opportunity would be five percentage points higher than her full-year fiscal 2022 55% pro-rated target cash incentive plan opportunity.
The target cash incentive plan opportunities of our named executive officers for fiscal 2023 were as follows:

Named Executive Officer | Fiscal 2023 Target Cash Incentive Plan Opportunity (as a percentage of base salary) |  | Fiscal 2023 Target Cash Incentive Plan Opportunity ($)
Max Levchin(1) | — |  |  | — |
Michael Linford | 75 | % |  | 356,250
Libor Michalek | 75 | % |  | 356,250
Katherine Adkins | 60 | % |  | 255,000

(1) Mr. Levchin does not participate in the cash incentive plan.
Performance Measures
During fiscal 2023, participants in the cash incentive plan were eligible to receive cash incentive plan awards based upon Company achievement against important financial and operational performance measures selected by the Compensation Committee. In September 2022, t he Compensation Committee selected three performance measures: network size (weighted 42.5%); total revenue (weighted 32.5%); and adjusted operating income (loss) (weighted 25.0%). In addition to the selected corporate measures, the Compensation Committee also established a funding gate, whereby no payout under the cash incentive plan would occur unless the Company achieved a certain level of total revenue. The Compensation Committee believed these performance measures were appropriate because they were strong indicators of the successful execution of our business objectives for fiscal 2023. The Compensation Committee also believed these measures provided a strong emphasis on growth while managing expenses and strengthening our customer and merchant relationships. Lastly, the Compensation Committee believed these measures would influence the creation of sustainable long-term stockholder value.
29

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The performance measures for fiscal 2023 were defined as follows:

Fiscal 2023 Performance Measures
Network size: a blended measure of active consumers, gross merchandise volume, and revenue less transaction costs where: –“active consumers” meant the total number of consumers who engaged in at least one transaction on the Company’s platform during fiscal 2023; –“gross merchandise volume” meant total dollar amount of all transactions on the Company’s platform during fiscal 2023, net of refunds; and –“revenue less transaction costs” meant total net revenue less the sum of loss on loan purchase commitment, provision for credit losses, funding costs, and processing and servicing expense, each determined in accordance with GAAP for fiscal 2023
Total revenue: our GAAP total net revenue for fiscal 2023, as reflected in our audited financial statements for fiscal 2023
Adjusted operating income (loss): our GAAP operating income (loss) for fiscal 2023, adjusted to exclude: –depreciation and amortization expense –stock-based compensation expense included in GAAP operating income (loss) –amortization expense associated with a commercial agreement asset –expense associated with cash incentive plan awards earned during fiscal 2023 –certain other items as set forth in the reconciliation of adjusted operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income (loss) included in Appendix A to this proxy statement

In September 2022, the Compensation Committee set the total revenue funding gate level and the threshold, target, and stretch achievement level for each of the performance measures for fiscal 2023. If achievement against the total revenue funding gate was at or above the level set by the Compensation Committee, the cash incentive plan would be funded. A performance multiplier would apply based on the performance measures and actual performance achievement relative to the measures. The performance multiplier was to be determined based on weighted average actual performance against the three performance measures. The performance multiplier could range from 50%, if the minimum, or threshold, level of performance was achieved for all three measures, to 150%, if the Company met or exceeded the maximum, or stretch, level of performance for all three measures. The performance multiplier was 100% if a target level of performance was achieved for all three measures. Achievement levels and performance multiplier percentages for performance between the threshold and target performance levels and between the target and stretch performance levels were to be calculated using straight-line interpolation. For fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee set the total revenue funding gate level at $1.675 billion. The threshold, target, and stretch performance levels for each of the three performance measures are set forth in the table below:

Performance Measure |  | Threshold |  |  | Target |  |  | Stretch
Network Size |  | 90 | % |  |  | 100 | % |  |  | 110 | %
Total Revenue (in billions) | $ | 1.73 |  |  |  | 1.93 |  |  |  | 2.12 |
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) (in millions) | $ | (73.15) |  |  |  | (66.50) |  |  |  | (59.85) |

Cash Incentive Plan Payments
Under the cash incentive plan, payments are made based on our performance with respect to each of the performance measures and the extent to which each objective was achieved for the year. The Compensation Committee did not make any discretionary adjustments to the cash incentive plan payments made to the named executive officers during fiscal 2023.
The actual performance, percentage achievement and applicable performance multipliers with respect to each performance measure, as determined by the Compensation Committee based on actual Company performance, are set forth in the table below.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Performance Measure | Weighting | Actual Performance | Percentage Achievement versus Target Performance | Applicable Performance Multiplier
Network Size | 42.5% | 80% | <50% | —%
Total Revenue | 32.5% | $1.59 billion | <50% | —%
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) | 25.0% | $(72.3 million) | <50% | —%
Total | 100.0% | — | <50% | —%

The following table sets forth the target cash incentive plan opportunities and the actual cash incentive plan payments made to our named executive officers for fiscal 2023. Based on fiscal 2023 total revenue, the Compensation Committee determined that the total revenue funding gate was not achieved and therefore did not approve any annual cash incentive plan payments for fiscal 2023.

Named Executive Officer | Target Cash Incentive Plan Opportunity (as a percentage of base salary) | Target Cash Incentive Plan Opportunity ($) | Actual Cash Incentive Plan Payment (as a percentage of Target Cash Incentive Plan Opportunity) | Actual Cash Incentive Plan Payment ($)

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
As a technology company that encounters significant competition for qualified personnel, long-term incentive compensation plays a critical role in our ability to attract, hire, motivate, reward, and retain qualified and experienced executives. The use of long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards is necessary for us to compete for qualified executives without significantly increasing cash compensation and is the most important element of our executive compensation program. We use equity awards to incentivize and reward our named executive officers for long-term corporate performance based on the value of our Class A common stock and, thereby, to align their interests with the interests of our stockholders. The realized value of these equity awards bears a direct relationship to our stock price, and, therefore, these awards serve as an incentive for our named executive officers to create sustainable value for our stockholders. Equity awards also help us retain our named executive officers in a highly competitive market.
Chief Executive Officer Long-Term Equity Award
As previously disclosed in the proxy statement for our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we granted a special equity award to our CEO in advance of our IPO in fiscal 2021 (the “Value Creation Award”).
The Value Creation Award is divided into ten tranches that Mr. Levchin may earn by satisfying a performance condition within a five-year period from the date of grant. Once earned as a result of satisfying the performance condition, each earned tranche of Mr. Levchin’s Value Creation Award becomes vested and exercisable over a five-year period commencing on the date of grant, subject to Mr. Levchin’s continued service to the Company, in annual amounts equal to 15%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 25%, respectively. The performance condition for each tranche is satisfied on the date the 90 average trading day volume weighted share price of our Class A common stock exceeds an established stock price hurdle. These stock price hurdles, which were set based on a target percentage of growth from the IPO price of $49 per share, ranging from $65.66 per share to $371.91 per share. Each stock price hurdle will be equitably adjusted to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends or other restructurings impacting our Class A common stock. Any portion of the Value Creation Award that has not been earned by the fifth anniversary of the grant date will be forfeited. As of June 30, 2023, the first four tranches of the Value Creation Award had been earned. No tranches were earned in fiscal 2023.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Long-Term Equity Awards of Our Other Named Executive Officers
In fiscal 2023, we used a combination of options and time-vesting RSU awards that settle for shares of our Class A common stock as long-term incentives for our named executive officers (other than our CEO). We believe that because options provide for an economic benefit only in the event that our stock price increases over the exercise price of the option, these awards effectively align the interests of these named executive officers with those of our stockholders and provide these named executive officers with a significant incentive to manage our business from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. In addition, because the value of RSU awards increases with any increase in the value of the underlying shares, RSU awards can also provide incentives that are aligned with the interests of our stockholders.
In determining the size of the equity awards to be granted to our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee exercises its judgment as to the appropriate size of the awards after considering, among other factors, a competitive market analysis prepared by Compensia, the outstanding equity holdings of each named executive officer (including the current economic value of his or her unvested equity holdings and the ability of these unvested holdings to satisfy our retention objectives), the projected impact of the proposed awards on our earnings, the proportion of our total shares outstanding used for annual employee long-term incentive compensation awards (our “burn rate”) in relation to the annual burn rate ranges of the companies in our compensation peer group and other recently-public technology companies, the potential voting power dilution to our stockholders in relation to the median practice of the companies in our compensation peer group and the other factors described in “Compensation-Setting Process—Setting Base Salaries and Long-Term Incentive Compensation Opportunities” above. Based upon these factors, the Compensation Committee determines the size of each award at levels it considers appropriate to create a meaningful opportunity for reward predicated on the creation of long-term stockholder value.
Total Equity Awards Granted in Fiscal 2023

Max Levchin | — | —
Michael Linford | 204,750 | 112,107
Libor Michalek | 204,750 | 112,107
Katherine Adkins | 122,850 | 67,264

The equity awards granted to our named executive officers during fiscal 2023 are also set forth in the “Fiscal 2023 Summary Compensation Table” and the “Fiscal 2023 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” below.
Health and Welfare Benefits
Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the same employee benefit plans, and on the same terms and conditions, as all other full-time, salaried U.S. employees. These benefits include medical, dental, vision, and business travel insurance, an employee assistance program, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts, basic life, accidental death and dismemberment, and short-term and long-term disability insurance.
We also maintain a Section 401(k) retirement plan (the “401(k) Plan”) that provides eligible employees, including our named executive officers, with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. Eligible employees are able to participate in the 401(k) Plan as of the first day of the month following the date they meet the plan’s eligibility requirements. Participants are able to defer up to 100% of their eligible compensation subject to applicable annual limits under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). All participants’ interests in their deferrals are 100% vested when contributed.
We design our employee benefits programs to be affordable and competitive in relation to the market as well as compliant with applicable laws and practices. We adjust our employee benefits programs as needed based upon regular monitoring of applicable laws and practices and the competitive market.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
We pay for personal security services for Mr. Levchin. We consider the security services provided to Mr. Levchin to be a reasonable and necessary expense for the Company’s benefit.
Except as noted above, we provide only limited perquisites and other personal benefits to our named executive officers.
Other Compensation Policies
Prohibition of Hedging of Securities
Under our Insider Trading Policy, our employees, including officers, and the members of our Board are prohibited from making short sales and engaging in transactions in publicly traded options, warrants, puts and calls or similar instruments with respect to our securities. This includes any hedging or similar transaction designed to decrease the risks associated with holding our common stock.
Clawback Policy
We intend to implement a clawback policy effective December 1, 2023 that will be consistent with the rules adopted by the SEC and the listing standards established by Nasdaq. We expect that policy to provide that, in the event of a material accounting restatement, we will be entitled to recover from our current or former executive officers, as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act, certain incentive-based compensation that was erroneously awarded during the three completed fiscal years preceding the date that we concluded that such a restatement was required.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
In November 2020, we adopted stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers and members of our Board to further align the interests of those individuals with those of our stockholders. Directors and executive officers have five years from the later of the date of adoption of our stock ownership guidelines or the date they are appointed as a director or executive officer of the Company to achieve compliance with the guidelines.
For purposes of assessing compliance with our stock ownership guidelines, equity ownership includes shares of common stock as to which the director and/or executive officer or his or her spouse or child has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest and shares of common stock issuable upon the settlement of unvested RSUs.

Role | Stock Ownership Guidelines
Non-Employee Director | 5x annual retainer
Chief Executive Officer | 5x annual base salary
Executive Officer | 3x annual base salary

Tax and Accounting Considerations
The Compensation Committee takes the applicable tax and accounting requirements into consideration in designing and overseeing our executive compensation program.
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Under Section 162(m) of the Code, compensation paid to anyone serving as the chief executive officer or chief financial officer at any time during the taxable year and the three other most highly compensated executive officers, except for certain grandfathered arrangements (i.e., written binding contracts in effect on November 2, 2017 that have not been modified in any material respect after that date) and certain compensation paid pursuant to a compensation plan in existence before the effective date of our IPO, will not be deductible to the extent it exceeds $1 million. In fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee considered the potential future effects of Section 162(m) when determining named executive officer compensation and the Compensation Committee is expected to consider the potential future effects of Section 162(m) when determining future named executive officer compensation. However, the Compensation Committee
33

TABLE OF CONTENTS
believes that maintaining the discretion to provide compensation that is non-deductible allows it to provide compensation tailored to the needs of the Company.
Regardless of our intent, there is no guarantee that incentive bonuses or awards, equity-based compensation or other compensation intended to be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code will ultimately be determined as such by the IRS. In addition, changes in applicable tax laws and regulation, and interpretations of such laws and regulation, as well as other factors beyond our control may affect the deductibility of executive compensation.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Compensation Committee takes accounting considerations into account in designing compensation plans and arrangements for our executive officers and other employees. Chief among these is FASB ASC Topic 718, the standard which governs the accounting treatment of certain stock-based compensation. Among other things, FASB ASC Topic 718 requires us to record a compensation expense in our income statement for all equity awards granted to members of our Board, our executive officers and other employees. This compensation expense is based on the grant date “fair value” of the equity award and, in most cases, will be recognized ratably over the award’s requisite service period (which, generally, will correspond to the award’s vesting schedule). This compensation expense is also reported in the compensation tables below, even though recipients may never realize any value from their equity awards.

(1)The amounts reported represent the aggregate grant date fair value of RSU awards and options granted to the named executive officers during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of the awards reported in this column are set forth in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2023. The amounts reported in this column reflect the accounting cost for these awards and do not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by the named executive officer upon the sale of any of the underlying shares of Class A common stock.
(2)For fiscal 2023, the performance period for the cash incentive plan was July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. The Compensation Committee determined that the total revenue funding gate was not achieved in and therefore did not approve any annual cash incentive plan payments for fiscal 2023. For more information, please see the section entitled "—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Fiscal 2023 Executive Compensation Highlights." For fiscal 2022, the performance period for the cash incentive plan was July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. For fiscal 2021, the performance period for the cash incentive plan was January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021.
(3)The fiscal 2023 amount reported includes $373,366 in personal security services and a $1,101 product testing stipend provided to Mr. Levchin. The fiscal 2022 amount reported includes $448,084 in personal security services and a $1,059 product testing stipend provided to Mr. Levchin. The fiscal 2021 amount reported includes $143,985 in personal security services and a $1,150 product testing stipend provided to Mr. Levchin. Although reported in this column as compensation paid to Mr. Levchin, the Company considers the cost of the personal security services to be a business expense and not a personal benefit to Mr. Levchin.

Fiscal 2023 Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Annual Cash Incentive Plan
Our annual cash incentive plan provides that, in the event of a change in control of the Company, plan participants, including our named executive officers (other than our CEO), will receive a pro-rata cash incentive plan awards determined based on the target or actual performance level, whichever is higher.
Officer Severance Plan
Potential Payments Upon Termination of Employment Within Change in Control Period
We have adopted an officer severance plan for certain of our officers, including our named executive officers, that provides for severance pay and benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment. Generally, if a named executive officer’s employment is terminated for any reason other than for cause (as defined below), death or disability within three months prior to or 12 months following the consummation of a change in control of the Company, which such period is referred to as the change in control period, or if the named executive officer resigns for good reason within the change in control period, then the officer severance plan provides for such named executive officer to receive:
•a lump sum cash severance payment equal to the sum of (i) the named executive officer’s annual base salary, as in effect immediately prior to the participant’s termination, multiplied by 150% for our CEO and 100% for each of our other named executive officers, plus (ii) a pro-rata amount of the named executive officer’s target annual cash incentive plan opportunity, if any, as in effect for the fiscal year in which his or her termination of employment occurs;
•payment or reimbursement of the cost of post-termination continued health benefits for a period of up to 18 months for our CEO and up to 12 months for each of our other named executive officers; and
•immediate acceleration of vesting of all of the then-unvested shares subject to each named executive officer’s then-outstanding time-based equity awards.
Potential Payments Upon Termination of Employment Outside of Change in Control Period
Generally, if a named executive officer’s employment is terminated for any reason other than for cause, death or disability outside of a change in control period, or, in the case of our CEO only, the named executive officer resigns for good reason (as defined below) outside of a change in control period, then the officer severance plan provides for such named executive officer to receive:
•a lump sum payment equal to the named executive officer’s annual base salary, as in effect immediately prior to the participant’s termination, multiplied by 100% for our CEO and 50% for each of our other named executive officers; and

•payment or reimbursement of the cost of post-termination continued health benefits for a period of up to 12 months for our CEO and six months for each of our other named executive officers.
Summary of Terms of Officer Severance Plan
In order to receive severance payments and benefits under the officer severance plan, a participant must timely execute and not revoke a release of claims in favor of the Company. In addition, the officer severance plan provides that, if any payment or benefits to a participant, including the payments and benefits under the officer severance plan, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would therefore be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, then such payments and benefits (1) will be reduced to the extent necessary so that no amount is subject to the excise tax, or (2) not reduced, whichever, after taking into account all applicable federal, state, and local employment and income taxes and the excise tax, results in the participant’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater payments and benefits.
Under the officer severance plan, “cause” means any of the following reasons (with any references to us interpreted to include any subsidiary or affiliate of ours):
•willful conduct by the participant constituting a material act of misconduct in connection with the performance of the participant’s duties, including, without limitation, misappropriation of funds or property of us or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates other than the occasional, customary, and de minimis use of our property for personal purposes;
•the conviction of, or plea of guilty or no contest to, any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty, or fraud, or any conduct by the participant that would reasonably be expected to result in material injury or reputational harm to us or any of our subsidiaries and affiliates if the participant was retained in the participant’s position;
•continued non-performance by the participant of his or her duties to us (other than by reason of his or her physical or mental illness, incapacity, or disability) which has continued for 30 days following written notice of such non-performance from us;
•a breach by the participant of any of the provisions contained in any confidentiality, invention assignment, or similar agreement with us;
•a material violation by the participant of our written employment policies; or
•the participant’s failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by us to cooperate, or the participant’s willful destruction or failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials in connection with such investigation.
Under the officer severance plan, “good reason” means the participant’s termination of his or her employment after the occurrence of one or more of the following events:
•a material diminution in the participant’s responsibilities, authority, or duties (other than a change in reporting relationship or title);
•a material reduction in the participant’s base salary except for across-the-board salary reductions similarly affecting all or substantially all management employees;
•a relocation of the office at which the participant is principally employed to a location more than 35 miles from such office; or
•the failure of any successor to the Company to assume and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the officer severance plan.
In order for the participant’s termination of his or her employment to be for good reason, the participant must reasonably determine in good faith that a “good reason” condition has occurred and not terminate his or her employment with us without first providing us with written notice of occurrence of the condition within 30 days of the occurrence of the condition and cooperating in good faith for a cure period of 30 days following the date of the written notice to remedy that condition. If the condition continues to exist following the expiration of the 30-day cure period, the participant must terminate his or her employment and provide written notice of such termination to us within 30 days after the end of that cure period.

Estimated Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The following tables describe the potential payments that would have been provided to each of our named executive officers pursuant to the annual cash incentive plan and/or officer severance plan, as applicable, in the event of a change in control and/or qualifying termination of employment, assuming that the applicable triggering event took place on June 30, 2023. There can be no assurance that a triggering event would produce the same or similar results as those estimated below, and any actual payments and benefits may be different.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
CEO Pay Ratio
As required by SEC rules, we are providing the following information about the relationship between the annual total compensation of our CEO and the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, except our CEO (our “CEO Pay Ratio”).
For fiscal 2023, the annual total compensation of our CEO was $409,807 and the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees was $218,924. Accordingly, the CEO Pay Ratio for fiscal 2023 is approximately 1.87:1. We believe this ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules and based upon our reasonable judgment and assumptions.
In order to identify our median employee, we examined the fiscal 2023 compensation of substantially all of our full-time, part-time and temporary employees as of June 30, 2023, excluding our CEO. As permitted by SEC rules, we excluded all of our employees in Spain (64 employees) and the United Kingdom (22 employees), which represented 4.0% of our total employee population. Before applying this exclusion, our U.S. employee population was 1,756 and our non-U.S. employee population was 414 as of June 30, 2023. After applying this exclusion, our U.S. employee population was 1,756 and our non-U.S. employee population was 328 as of June 30, 2023. We annualized the compensation for employees who were not employed by us for the entire fiscal 2023 year. To identify our median employee for fiscal 2023, we used a consistently applied compensation measure consisting of annual base salary and the grant date fair value of equity awards granted during fiscal 2023, with such information based on our payroll records. Compensation paid in foreign currency was converted to U.S. dollars using a spot exchange rate on June 30, 2023. In determining the median compensated employee, we did not make any cost of living adjustments to the compensation paid to any employee outside of the U.S. We believe our methodology represents a consistently applied compensation measure because it reasonably reflects annual compensation to our employees, striking a balance in terms of the administrative burden associated with gathering this information while consistently treating all the primary compensation components for our worldwide workforce and capturing a full fiscal year of each of such primary compensation components.
We calculated our median employee’s fiscal 2023 annual total compensation, including base salary, stock awards, and other compensation, using the same methodology that we use for our named executive officers as set forth in the “Fiscal 2023 Summary Compensation Table” above. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of the “Fiscal 2023 Summary Compensation Table” above.
In identifying our median employee in accordance with Item 402 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, reporting companies are permitted to use reasonable estimates, assumptions, and methodologies based on their own facts and circumstances. As a result, the disclosure regarding the compensation of our median employee and the CEO Pay Ratio may not be directly comparable to similar disclosure by other reporting companies.
Pay Versus Performance
In accordance with the rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, we are providing the information below regarding the relationship between the “Compensation Actually Paid” to our named executive officers, as defined by SEC rules, and various measures used to gauge the Company’s financial performance for the fiscal years listed below. For further information regarding our pay for performance philosophy and how we align named executive officer compensation with the Company’s performance, please refer to the “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above.
The amounts below shown for Compensation Actually Paid do not represent the value of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock received by named executive officers during the year, but rather are amounts calculated in accordance with SEC rules and include, among other things, year-over-year changes in the value of unvested equity-based awards. As a result of the calculation methodology required by the SEC, Compensation Actually Paid amounts below differ from compensation actually earned, realized or received by the individuals.

Fair values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 as of the end of the respective year, other than awards that vest in the covered year, which are valued as of the applicable vesting dates, and the valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant.
(3) The Compensation Actually Paid to Mr. Levchin largely reflects the change in the fair value, as calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, of the Value Creation Award granted to Mr. Levchin in January 2021 in advance of our IPO. For details regarding the Value Creation Award, see “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Elements—Long-Term Incentive Compensation—Chief Executive Officer Long-Term Equity Award.”

The table assumes $100 was invested at the market close on January 13, 2021, which was the date our Class A common stock commenced trading on Nasdaq. Data for the Peer Group TSR assumes reinvestment of dividends.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Total Shareholder Return
The following graph compares the Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO, the average of the Compensation Actually Paid to our non-PEO named executive officers and our TSR and the Peer Group TSR over the period from January 13, 2021, the date our Class A common stock commenced trading on Nasdaq, and June 30, 2023. The graph below shows a connection between Compensation Actually Paid to both our PEO and to our non-PEO named executive officers and TSR. Our executive compensation program emphasizes equity compensation, which we believe demonstrates a longer-term, ownership orientation. As a result of this emphasis, Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and the average of Compensation Actually Paid to our non-PEO named executive officers is significantly impacted by our stock price and TSR performance.

PROPOSAL NO. 3: APPROVAL, ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
As required pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed under “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation—Executive Compensation Tables.” This proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation as a whole. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation or any specific named executive officer, but rather the overall compensation of all of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement.
This is the first time that we are providing our stockholders with an opportunity to vote on a Say-on-Pay proposal. Having completed our January 2021 initial public offering as an “emerging growth company” as defined under the Securities Act, we were subject to certain scaled public company reporting requirements, including a three-year transition period before conducting our first Say-on-Pay vote. Consistent with the results of our first “Say-on-Frequency” vote conducted at our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we currently plan to provide our stockholders with the opportunity to cast a "Say-on-Pay” vote annually going forward. Accordingly, we expect that we will conduct our next “Say-on-Pay” vote at our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act rules, stockholders are asked to approve the following non-binding resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders hereby approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the accompanying narrative.”
The Board urges stockholders to endorse the compensation programs for our named executive officers by voting “FOR” the resolution.
As discussed in this proxy statement, the Compensation Committee believes that the executive compensation provided for fiscal 2023 is reasonable and consistent with our pay for performance philosophy. In deciding how to vote on this proposal, the Board encourages you to review the section titled “Executive Compensation” and, in particular, the section titled “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this proxy statement, which provide a comprehensive review of our executive compensation program and its elements, objectives and rationale.
Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee will carefully review the voting results and consider them when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.
Vote Required
The approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of our common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote AGAINST the proposal, and broker on-votes will have no effect.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We describe below transactions and series of similar transactions, since the beginning of our last fiscal year, to which we were a party or will be a party, in which:
•the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and
•any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of, or person sharing the household with, the foregoing persons (each, a “related person”), had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
We believe the terms of the transactions described below were comparable to terms we could have obtained in arm’s-length dealings with unrelated third parties.
Transactions
On May 31, 2023, we entered into an origination program agreement with Lead Bank, a state-chartered bank. Jacqueline D. Reses, a member of our Board, is the Chief Executive Officer of Lead Bank. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, Lead Bank originated only a de minimis amount of loans through our platform. While we are unable to predict with certainty the future volume of loans to be originated by Lead Bank through our platform, based on Affirm’s internal estimates as of September 30, 2023, we expect the aggregate amount of direct fees plus interest on originated loans received by Lead Bank during fiscal 2024 will be approximately $8.1 million.
On July 1, 2022, Affirm, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Affirm”), renewed its subscription with Peach Finance, Inc. (“Peach”) pursuant to which Peach provides the Company with a platform to manage the servicing and collections of financial products facilitated or issued to borrowers by the Company (the “Subscription Services”). Science Finance Venture Capital (“SciFi VC”), a venture capital fund in which our CEO, Max Levchin, and his spouse are partners, may hold an ownership interest of greater than 5% in Peach. For fiscal 2023, the Company paid Peach approximately $225,000 for Subscription Services.
On March 21, 2022, Affirm entered into a MSA with Teller, Inc. (“Teller”), a company in which SciFi VC may hold an ownership interest of greater than 5%. Under the terms of the MSA, the Company integrates its application with Teller’s API and accesses Teller’s platform, which allows the Company’s end users to connect their bank accounts to the Company’s application. The MSA, as amended on March 16, 2023, provides for the Company to pay Teller an amount based on usage. For fiscal 2023, the Company paid Teller approximately $405,400.
Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons
We have a formal written policy providing that any related person transaction (as defined in the policy), and any material amendment or modification to a related person transaction, must be reviewed and approved or ratified by the Audit Committee.
When determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Audit Committee will review relevant facts regarding the related person transaction, including, among other things:
•the related person’s interest in the transaction;
•the terms of the transaction;
•the purpose of, and the potential benefits to us of, the transaction; and
•any other information regarding the related person transaction or the related person that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.
Any member of the Audit Committee who has an interest in a potential related person transaction will not participate in any discussion or approval of such related person transaction, except that such member shall provide all material information concerning the transaction to the Audit Committee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING
The information provided in the “question and answer” format below addresses certain frequently asked questions but is not intended to be a summary of all matters contained in this proxy statement. Please read the entire proxy statement carefully before voting your shares.

Why am I receiving these materials?

You are receiving this proxy statement because our Board is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting with respect to the proposals described in this proxy statement. This proxy statement includes information that we are required to provide to you pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and is designed to assist you in voting your shares.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Holders of either our Class A common stock or Class B common stock as of the close of business on October 9, 2023, the record date for the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”), are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 242,090,305 shares of Class A common stock and 59,613,235 shares of Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

How many votes per share do I have?

Our Class A common stock has one vote per share and our Class B common stock has fifteen votes per share. Our Class A and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

How can I vote?

Your voting options depend on how you hold your shares. If your shares are held in an account by a broker, bank or other agent acting as a nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street-name,” and the proxy materials were forwarded to you by that organization. As a street-name holder, you have the right to instruct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account at the Annual Meeting. To do so, you should follow the voting instructions you receive from your broker, bank or other agent. If you are the stockholder of record, you may vote as follows:
•By mail, by completing, signing and dating the enclosed proxy card and returning it promptly in the envelope provided.
•By telephone, by calling (866) 230-8413 and following the recorded instructions.
•Online, by going to www.proxypush.com/AFRM and following the prompts.
•At the Annual Meeting, by following the log in procedures described above and completing the online form during the Annual Meeting.
You can vote over the phone or online until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the day before the Annual Meeting. If you vote by mail, your proxy or voting instruction card, as applicable, must be received by the day before the Annual Meeting. You may still attend and vote at the Annual Meeting online even if you have already voted by proxy.

How can I change my vote?

You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the beneficial owner, please follow the instructions provided by the broker, bank or other agent through which your shares are held. If you are the stockholder of record, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy by submitting a subsequent proxy or by sending a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy to the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s address (see the first page of this proxy statement). Such notice will be considered timely if it is received by the day before the Annual Meeting. You can also change your vote by attending and voting at the Annual Meeting online. Please note that simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

Who will count the votes?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting by our Board.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What if I am a record holder and I do not submit voting instructions?

If you complete and submit your proxy, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you submit a proxy but do not complete the voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares in accordance with the Board’s recommendations below. If you do not submit a proxy or vote at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted.

What if I am a street-name holder and I do not submit voting instructions?

You may instruct your broker, bank or other agent on how to vote your shares by following the instructions they provided with the proxy materials. If you do not do so, the firm has discretion to vote your shares only with respect to proposals that are considered “routine” matters. If you do not provide instructions for any proposal that is determined to not be “routine,” the firm that holds your shares will not have discretionary authority to vote your shares for any such proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.” Therefore, you are encouraged to return your voting instructions so that your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.

What vote is necessary to approve each proposal and what are the board’s recommendations?

The following table sets forth the voting requirements for each proposal being voted on at the Annual Meeting and the board’s recommendations.

Proposal |  | Board Recommendation |  | Required Vote |  | Effect of
Abstentions |  | Broker Non- Votes
Election of directors |  | For each nominee |  | Majority of the votes cast at the meeting |  | No effect |  | No effect
Ratification of selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 |  | For |  | Majority of the voting power of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter |  | Same as a vote AGAINST |  | Not counted as entitled to vote and so no effect, if any
Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers |  | For |  | Majority of the voting power of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter |  | Same as a vote AGAINST |  | Not counted as entitled to vote and so no effect

What if other business comes before the Annual Meeting?

We do not expect any other business to properly come before the Annual Meeting; however, if any other business should properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares on such matters in accordance with their best judgment. Each nominee has consented to be a candidate and to serve if elected. Although the Board has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unavailable to serve as a director, if such an event should occur, the Board may designate a substitute nominee or reduce the size of the Board. If the board designates a substitute nominee, proxies will be voted for such substitute nominee(s).

Do I have to do anything in advance if I plan to attend the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be a virtual audio meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted via live audio webcast. You are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting only if you were a holder of our common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting.
You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting and submit your questions during the Annual Meeting by visiting www.proxydocs.com/AFRM. You also will be able to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting.
To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the control number included on your Notice or proxy card. The live audio webcast will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 8:45 a.m., Pacific Time, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.

Stockholders are permitted to submit questions during the Annual Meeting via www.proxydocs.com/AFRM. We will answer as many questions subm itted in accordance with the meeting rules of conduct as possible in the time allotted for the meeting.

How can I get help if I have trouble checking in or listening to the meeting online?

If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Virtual Stockholder Meeting log-in page.

What is the effect of giving a proxy?

Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of our Board. The persons named in the proxy have been designated as proxy holders by our Board. When a proxy is properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board. If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, the proxy holders can vote your shares on the new meeting date, unless you have properly revoked your proxy, as described above.

Who pays the cost of the proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the costs of soliciting proxies, including the preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of the proxy materials. In addition, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication, without additional compensation. We may also reimburse brokers, banks, fiduciaries, custodians and other institutions for their costs in forwarding the proxy materials to the street-name holders of our common stock.

What is a quorum?

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Annual Meeting for the meeting to be properly held under our bylaws and Delaware law. The presence (including by proxy) of a majority of the voting power of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. If there is no quorum, the chairperson of the meeting or a majority of the shares present at the Annual Meeting may adjourn the meeting to a later date.

What does it mean if I received more than one Notice?

If you receive more than one Notice, you hold shares that may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each Notice to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

We have adopted an SEC-approved procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, we will deliver only one copy of our Notice, and for those stockholders that received a paper copy of proxy materials in the mail, one copy of our annual report to stockholders and this proxy statement, to multiple stockholders who share the same address (if they appear to be members of the same family) unless we have received contrary instructions from an affected stockholder. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards if they received a paper copy of proxy materials in the mail. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice, proxy materials and annual report to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy, or, if you are receiving multiple copies, to request that we only send a single copy of next year’s proxy materials and annual report, you may contact us as follows:

How can I sign up to receive future proxy materials by e-mail?

We encourage stockholders to take advantage of electronic delivery to help reduce the cost and environmental impact of the Annual Meeting. To sign up for electronic delivery, please follow the instructions above for voting online and, when prompted, indicate that you agree to receive or access proxy materials electronically in future years. Also, if you are a beneficial owner, you may sign up for electronic delivery by contacting your bank, broker or other agent through which you hold your shares. Once you sign up, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you request them.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

We will announce the preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will tallied by the inspector of elections and will be published in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

Our bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders but do not intend for the proposal to be included in our proxy statement. Our bylaws provide that the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting is business that is (i) specified in our proxy materials with respect to such meeting, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of our Board, or (iii) properly brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting who has delivered timely written notice to our Secretary, which notice must contain the information specified in our bylaws. To be timely for our 2024 Annual Meeting, our Secretary must receive the written notice at our principal executive offices:
•not earlier than August 6, 2024; and
•not later than September 5, 2024.
In the event that we hold our 2024 Annu al Meeting more than 30 days before or after the first anniversary of the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting, then notice of a stockholder proposal that is not intended to be included in our proxy statement must be received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the anniversary of the 2023 Annual Meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of the following two dates:
•the 90th day prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting; and
•the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting is first made.
In addition to satisfying the deadlines in the advance notice provisions of our bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, a stockholder who intends to solicit proxies in support of nominees submitte d under these advance notice provisions must provide the proper written notice that sets forth all information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act to our Secretary no later than October 7, 2024 (or, in the event that we hold our 2024 Annu al Meeting more than 30 days before or after the first anniversary of the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting, then notice must be provided no later than 60 calendar days prior to the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting or the 10th calendar day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting is first made).

Our Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration during the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons appointed in the accompanying proxy intend to vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment on such matters, under applicable laws. It is important that your shares of our common stock be represented during the Annual Meeting, regardless of the number of shares that you hold. You are, therefore, urged to vote by telephone or by using the internet as instructed on the enclosed proxy card or execute and return, at your earliest convenience, the enclosed proxy card in the envelope that has also been provided.

APPENDIX A
Key Operating Metric
Our management and Board measure GMV to assess the volume of transactions that take place on our platform. We define GMV as the total dollar amount of all transactions on the Affirm platform during the applicable period, net of refunds. GMV does not represent revenue earned by us; however, it is an indicator of the success of our merchants and the strength of our platform.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our management and Board use total revenue less transaction costs and adjusted operating income (loss), which are non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating performance and make strategic decisions. We believe that total revenue less transaction costs is a useful financial measure to both us and investors of the economic value generated by transactions processed on the Affirm platform. We also believe that adjusted operating income (loss) is a useful financial measure to both us and investors for evaluating our operating performance and that it facilitates period to period comparisons of our results of operations as the items excluded generally are not a function of our operating performance.
The following tables present a reconciliation of revenue less transaction costs and adjusted operating income (loss) to their most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods indicated.
