Item 2. PROPERTIES

| --- | --- |

Our principal executive and administrative offices are located at 1818 Cornwall Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6J 1C7. We expect that our current administrative offices are sufficient for our expansion plans for the foreseeable future. In March 2011, we purchased the building that currently houses our administrative offices and in October 2012 we purchased additional space in Vancouver, BC for our administrative offices. We currently operate three distribution centers located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Sumner, Washington, and Melbourne, Victoria which together are capable of accommodating our expansion plans through the foreseeable future.

The general location, use, approximate size and lease renewal date of our properties at February 3, 2013, are set forth below:

As of February 3, 2013, we leased approximately 596,000 gross square feet relating to 209 of our 211 corporate-owned stores. Our leases generally have initial terms of between five and 10 years, and generally can be extended only in five-year increments, if at all. All of our leases require a fixed annual rent, and most require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. Generally, our leases are “net” leases, which require us to pay all of the cost of insurance, taxes, maintenance and utilities. We generally cannot cancel these leases at our option.

ITEM3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On October 12, 2012, former hourly employees of lululemon filed a class action lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California entitled Rebekah Geare et al v. lululemon athletica inc. The lawsuit alleges that we violated various U.S. labor codes by failing to provide meal and rest breaks, failing to pay minimum wage, failing to pay overtime, failing to pay certain wages , failing to provide reasonable seating and failing to provide unpaid vacation times as wages at time of termination. The plaintiffs are seeking an unspecified amount of damages. We intend to vigorously defend the matter.

On August 10, 2012, customers of lululemon filed a class action lawsuit in San Diego Superior Court entitled Laura Chaikin et al v. lululemon athletica inc. The lawsuit alleges that we violated California Civil Code sections by requesting and capturing personal information from guests in our stores. The plaintiffs are seeking an unspecified amount of damages. We intend to vigorously defend the matter.

We are, from time to time, involved in routine legal matters incidental to our business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of any such current proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on our continued financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
