Review of McCarthy's First 60 Days at Peloton Peloton Reimagined The Best Option is to Sell Peloton Conclusion TABLE OF CONTENTS Appendix BLACKWELLS CAPITAL LO 5 11 21 34 47 64 67 3#4BW BW BLACKWELLS CAPITAL Two months since Peloton hired one of the highest paid CEOs in all of corporate America, nothing has fundamentally changed. BLACKWELLS CAPITAL Peloton's powerful brand, proprietary technology, engaging instructors, and fiercely loyal subscriber base can be shaped into a much more attractive business. But this cannot happen effectively in the public markets, especially with the current leadership in place. 4#5BW BLACKWELLS CAPITAL PELOTON INTERACTIVE, INC. Executive Summary#6New management team failed to make meaningful changes Blackwells will hold the Board accountable to maximize value for all shareholders Under Executive Chair John Foley and a new CEO, there have been no meaningful changes at Peloton. Issues related to cost structure, capital allocation, inventory management and quality control continue to plague the Company. Shareholders have lost nearly $2 billion of value since Mr. McCarthy became CEO BW BLACKWELLS CAPITAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Poor governance structure limits accountability Peloton's poor governance structure limits accountability to shareholders. Furthermore, its Board, which is comprised of interconnected, underqualified legacy directors, fails to provide adequate oversight Peloton is a strategically valuable asset Peloton is a strategically valuable asset that is attractive to many potential acquirers. An insightful and capable operator would be willing to pay a premium beyond conventional cost and revenue synergies for the opportunity to "Reimagine Peloton" as a dramatically different business than it is today Selling Peloton today is worth substantially more to investors Given the complexity, time, and risk associated with a turnaround in the public markets, Blackwells believes selling Peloton today is worth substantially more to investors than the standalone company could be worth years from now 6#7■ ■ ■ ® PELOTON Peloton is an interactive fitness platform with millions of members, offering connected, technology-enabled fitness classes that utilize its proprietary hardware The Company's Connected Fitness products include the Peloton Bike, Bike+, Tread, Tread+ and Guide Peloton generates strong recurring revenue from its Members, who pay subscription fees to access Peloton's app or Connected Fitness products LTM Revenue by Source 28% The Company has been challenged by a series of execution errors and strategic missteps; as a result, Peloton's share price has declined 84% since the beginning of 2021 72% Connected Fitness ■Subscription OVERVIEW OF PELOTON BW BLACKWELLS CAPITAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Total Revenue ($M) $1,262 $937 $805 $1,134 F3Q 21 F4Q 21 F1Q 22 F2Q 22 20% 0% -20% -40% -60% -80% -100% Peloton Total Shareholder Returns Since the Beginning of 2021 men Jan-21 Emman Eur Apr-21 Nasdaq Enterprise Value ($M) Market Cap ($M) LTM Revenue ($M) LTM Adj.

To date, these changes have consisted of minor changes to the management team, a cost reduction plan that lacks transparency and an underwhelming product launch In our view, Peloton's changes are not nearly enough to address its challenges 3 Company Remains Independent Immediately after his appointment as CEO, Barry McCarthy asserted that a sale of Peloton was unlikely in the "foreseeable future," despite the Company's well-documented challenges Blackwells believes Peloton will continue to face challenges as a standalone company in a niche market, and that a sale is the best outcome for shareholders Blackwells believes Peloton's claimed transformation is largely illusory and requires work beyond what the current Peloton team is capable of doing 9#101 Enhance Governance Peloton's dual-class share structure, classified Board and plurality voting system ensure that insiders retain control while shareholders have virtually no ability to effect governance changes or hold management and the Board accountable Blackwells urges the Company to embrace governance best practices and abolish the dual-class share ownership structure BW BLACKWELLS CAPITAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BLACKWELLS' PLAN FOR PELOTON - 2 Optimize the Business Model Blackwells believes that Peloton can be reimagined to become a high growth, high margin and asset-light fitness and health platform. In our view, a "Reimagined Peloton" would have more and better opportunities for value creation However, Blackwells does not believe that the business can be optimized in the public markets, especially under a Board and management team that have failed shareholders for years 3 Conduct a Sales Process Peloton has a powerful brand, proprietary technology and an engaged and loyal user base that could be shaped into a more attractive business, and the Company would be a valuable asset for many strategic and financial acquirers If Peloton does not commit to taking responsive action, Blackwells will pursue all avenues available - including litigation to hold the Company and individual Board members accountable on behalf of shareholders Given the complexity, time and risk associated with turning the business around, Blackwells believes selling Peloton today is the best path for shareholders 10#11BW BLACKWELLS CAPITAL PELOTON INTERACTIVE, INC. Corporate Governance & Misalignment of Interests#12A Peloton's Board has created a culture of poor corporate governance that limits accountability to shareholders B C D BW CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MISALIGNMENT OF INTERESTS Insiders continue to retain control through dual-class share structure Executive Chairman John Foley is a distraction and continues to wield excessive influence Blackwells believes the Company's CEO search process was flawed, and we question whether Mr. McCarthy is the right leader The Board continues to be comprised of interconnected, unqualified legacy directors BLACKWELLS CAPITAL ■ Structure ens ▪ These insiders have a relatively small economic interest Substantial insider selling and pledging exacerbates misalignment with other shareholders ■ res that a small group of insiders continue to maintain voting control ▪ Mr. Foley appears to have significant personal financial issues that are a distraction (and create misalignment) even as he remains in the Company's highest leadership role and has outsized influence ▪ Mr. McCarthy's connection to Peloton directors calls into question his selection for this difficult role ▪ The timing of his appointment leads us to doubt the Board's claim that it conducted a thorough search ▪ Mr. McCarthy received a massive sign-on award that was not commensurate with the job or company ▪ On an ongoing basis, Mr. McCarthy will be one of the highest-paid executives in the country ■ Peloton's Board still has too many interconnected legacy directors ▪ The Board appears to lack critical skills and attributes 12#13■ ■ A DUAL-CLASS STRUCTURE LIMITS ACCOUNTABILITY TO SHAREHOLDERS The voting power of Peloton's insiders is vastly disproportionate to their economic interest in the Company Peloton maintains a dual-class voting structure, under which Class A shares represent one vote while Class B shares, which are controlled by insiders, represent twenty votes each As a result, Peloton insiders control more than 75% of the voting power, despite only having an economic interest in Peloton of approximately 12% Only 8% of companies in the S&P 500 have dual-class share structures with unequal voting Blackwells believes Mr. Foley's recent stock sales (possibly made under financial duress) may be creating a greater imbalance between insider voting power and economic interest ▪ This structure will continue to impair accountability to shareholders as long as it remains in place BW BLACKWELLS CAPITAL Economic Interest Voting Power Voting Power of Insiders vs. Economic Interest¹ 8% 0% 12% S&P 500 25% % of Companies with Dual-Class Shares with Unequal Voting² 12% 50% Nasdaq 100 75% 78% 13% Russell 1000 (1) Source: ISS Report, Peloton Interactive, Inc., November 23, 2021.

FOLEY APPEARS TO BE SELLING ASSETS UNDER FINANCIAL DURESS I "Foley, who stepped down as Peloton CEO in February, is under pressure to put up more collateral BUSINESS for the loans as Peloton's stock price has cratered by more than 80% in the past twelve months..." 1 INSIDER As of September 30, 2021, John Foley had pledged approximately 65% of his economic interest in Peloton Recent reports suggest that Mr. Foley may be facing personal liquidity issues due to margin calls associated with these pledging arrangements ▪ On February 28, 2022, John Foley sold approximately $50 million in Peloton stock (at a 12% discount) to MSD Partners, an investment firm backed by Michael Dell In our view, this transaction and the Company's lack of transparency is troubling and raises several important questions: BW Was Mr. Foley's latest sale the result of a margin call on his pledged shares? Mr. McCarthy has a previous business relationship with MSD through his role as a director of MSD's SPAC; what was his role in facilitating this transaction? Why did MSD appear to get preferential treatment (i.e., a discounted price)? Did MSD offer concessions, such as an agreement to vote those shares in accordance with Mr. Foley's recommendations?

How will Mr. Rendich balance his responsibilities at Grove with his additional duties as head of Peloton's Distribution, Member Support and Information Technology teams?

Eight current and former Peloton employees across four US states ... described the plan as a nationwide effort to avoid yet another costly recall just months after the company's most tragic episode - the death of a child due to the design of its treadmill... 'It was the single driving factor in my beginning stages of hatred for the company that I had spent the previous year and a half falling in love with,' said an outbound team lead, who reviews products before they are shipped to customers...

Appendix#68Top Takeaways SURVEY TAKEAWAYS BW Fitness Trends PTON Brand Headwinds + Tailwinds Rental Model Explored Purchase Intentions Pricing Power and New Products PELOTON IS A STRATEGICALLY VALUABLE ASSET Consumers consistently view Peloton as the best at-home fitness equipment brand Bespoke Market Intelligence Exercise frequency increased sequentially with the % who work out at home holding steady in the top spot of exercise options. Consumers feel they are working out more now than pre-pandemic and increasingly expect that trend to continue going forward. The primary reason consumers don't buy Peloton products continues to be the price / they can't afford it. Consumers continue to view Peloton as the best at-home fitness equipment brand. Customers are very satisfied with the product and indicate a high degree of loyalty to the brand. Peloton also gets the most credit from respondents for having the "best sense of community." Though consumers prefer the thought of purchasing/financing Peloton products, a reasonably large cohort of consumers preferred the idea of the rental model. The possibility of being able to rent the equipment drives a modest increase in likelihood of buying Peloton equipment in the future among consumers who do not currently own Peloton equipment. The increase in likelihood is tied more to the broader population than it is to respondents who are actively in the market to buy fitness equipment and/or existing Peloton customers. In all, consumers who would prefer purchasing/financing indicate a longer period of expected usage of the equipment compared to those who would prefer to rent. BLACKWELLS CAPITAL Peloton remains the most likely spin bike respondents expect to choose among those currently in the market. Peloton is also the most likely tread respondents expect to choose among those currently in the market. When it comes to the tread, Peloton has gained share of future purchase intentions over the past four quarters. Customers think Peloton's content subscription is a very good value for the price. Peloton customers remain very interested in buying new Peloton products that they might come out with in the future. Source: Bespoke Market Intelligence April 2022 Peloton Survey.
