On August 24, 2021, Warby Parker Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-259035), which was declared effective by the SEC on September 17, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement registered the resale of 77,741,942 shares of Class A common stock of the Company by the registered stockholders identified in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. As disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Company intended to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for 90 days, during which period the Company would be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, thereby satisfying the “current public information” requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as of the end of such 90-day period.

The Company expects that this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement will be declared effective by the SEC following the close of trading of the Company's Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 22, 2021. As of the opening of trading of the Company's Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the next trading day after the date hereof, the “current public information” requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, will have been satisfied and, subject to compliance with the other provisions of Rule 144, the registered stockholders may be able to sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 as of such date.

In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement is being filed to be effective as of 5:00 pm on December 22, 2021 to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and to remove from registration all securities registered but not sold under the Registration Statement.
