Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 13, 2022, in order to achieve an equal balance of membership among the classes of directors, the Board of Directors of Lemonade, Inc. (the "Company") determined to move Mwashuma Nyatta from Class II with a term expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to Class I with a term expiring at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Accordingly, on the same date, Mr. Nyatta, who was a Class II director, resigned as a director and was immediately elected by the Board as Class I director. The resignation and re-election of Mr. Nyatta was effected solely to rebalance the Board's classes and, for all other purposes, including compensation. Mr. Nyatta's service on the Board is deemed to have continued uninterrupted. The Board now consists of two Class I directors, two Class II directors and two Class III directors. The current Class I Directors are now Daniel Schreiber and Mwashuma Nyatta; the current Class II Directors are Shai Wininger and Irina Novoselsky; and the current Class III Directors are Michael Eisenberg and Silvija Martincevic.
