• Vivian Liu, in addition to her current role as Chief Financial Officer, has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer
• Tarun Jain has been promoted to Chief Customer Officer, in addition to his current role as Chief Product Officer
• Jerry Louis has been promoted from Vice President of Engineering to Wish’s interim Chief Technology Officer

“Under Piotr’s leadership, Wish grew from a small challenger brand into a leading global marketplace.

“I am so proud of what we have achieved at Wish over the past 12 years,” said Mr. Szulczewski. “When we set out on our journey, we wanted to redefine the ecommerce experience by building a platform that was both fun and entertaining, and also affordable and accessible to all. We have come a long way, and it is now time to pass the baton to the team that will guide Wish during its next stage of growth.”

Mr. Szulczewski has converted all of his high voting Class B shares into Wish Class A shares. As a result, all other Class B shares will automatically convert into Class A shares, simplifying the Company’s structure from a dual to a single class structure and establishing voting rights parity for all Wish shareholders. This change reduces his outstanding voting rights from approximately 62% to approximately 8%.

Mr. Szulczewski founded Wish and served as Chief Executive Officer from the Company’s inception in July 2010 through February 2022. He also served as Chairman of the Board from inception until April 2021, and then as a director until now.
