NOTICE OF 2013 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held June 11, 2013

TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:

Notice is hereby given that the 2013 annual meeting of the stockholders, or the Annual Meeting, of lululemon athletica inc., a Delaware corporation, will be held on June 11, 2013, at 5:00 p.m., local time, in the Faulkner Room at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, located at 11 East Walton Street, Chicago, Illinois, for the following purposes:

1. To elect four Class III directors to hold office for a three-year term and until their respective successors are elected and qualified.

2. To ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 2, 2014.

3. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

Our board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR”:

•

Election to our board of directors of the four nominees named in this proxy statement;

•

Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 2, 2014.

At the 2011 Annual Meeting of stockholders, our stockholders had the opportunity, on a non-binding advisory basis, to inform us on how often stockholders wish to include a “say-on-pay” proposal in our proxy statement. The voting results showed significant support by stockholders for a “say-on-pay” vote every three years. Accordingly, our board of directors determined that the next stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation will be held at our 2014 Annual Meeting of stockholders.

Stockholders of record at the close of business on April 24, 2013 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, this meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. In accordance with our bylaws, a list of those stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder, for any purpose relating to the meeting, at the office of the Corporate Secretary, lululemon athletica inc., 1818 Cornwall Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, beginning May 1, 2013. The list will also be available at the Annual Meeting.

We are pleased to continue using the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “Notice and Access” delivery model allowing companies to furnish proxy materials to their stockholders over the Internet. We believe that this delivery process will expedite stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials and lower the costs and reduce the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. On or about May 2, 2013, we intend to mail to our stockholders of record as of April 24, 2013 a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or the Notice, containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement and Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2013. This Notice also provides instructions on how to vote online and includes instructions on how to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail.

All stockholders are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record as of April 24, 2013, you will be admitted to the meeting if you present a form of photo identification. If you own stock beneficially through a bank, broker or otherwise, you will be admitted to the meeting if you present a form of photo identification and proof of ownership or a valid proxy signed by the record holder. A recent brokerage statement or a letter from a bank or broker are examples of proof of ownership for this purpose. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please vote your shares via the Internet, as described in the accompanying materials, to assure that your shares are represented at the meeting, or, if you elect to receive a paper copy of the proxy card by mail, you may mark, sign and date the proxy card and return it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If you attend the meeting you will, of course, have the right to revoke the proxy and vote your shares in person.

By order of the Board of Directors,

/s/ Dennis J. Wilson

PROXY STATEMENT

2013 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 2013

GENERAL INFORMATION

This proxy statement is being provided to solicit proxies on behalf of the board of directors of lululemon athletica inc. for use at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders to be held on Tuesday, June 11, 2013, at 5:00 p.m., local time, in the Faulkner Room at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, located at 11 East Walton Street, Chicago, Illinois, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. We expect to first make this proxy statement available, together with our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2013, to stockholders on approximately May 1, 2013.

Our principal offices are located at 400 – 1818 Cornwall Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia V6J 1C7.

In this proxy statement, we refer to lululemon athletica inc. as lululemon, we, us or the company.

Internet Availability of Annual Meeting Materials

Under rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or the Notice, to our stockholders of record. All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or to request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice. You will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you request one in the manner set forth in the Notice. This permits us to conserve natural resources and reduces our printing costs, while giving stockholders a convenient and efficient way to access our proxy materials and vote their shares.

We intend to mail the Notice on or about May 2, 2013 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Who May Vote

Only holders of record of our common stock and holders of record of our special voting stock, at the close of business on April 24, 2013, or the Record Date, will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, 112,517,560 shares of common stock and 32,033,458 shares of special voting stock were issued and outstanding. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting and each share of special voting stock is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting. Holders of common stock and special voting stock will vote together as a single class on all matters that come before the Annual Meeting; accordingly, throughout this proxy statement we refer generally to our outstanding common stock and special voting stock together as our “Common Stock.”

What Constitutes a Quorum

Stockholders may not take action at the Annual Meeting unless there is a quorum present at the meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote as of the close of business on the Record Date constitutes a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count toward establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes occur when brokers holding shares in street name for beneficial owners do not receive instructions from the beneficial owners about how to vote the shares. An abstention occurs when a stockholder withholds such stockholder’s vote by checking the “abstain” box on the proxy card, or similarly elects to abstain via the Internet voting. Under the rules that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters, including the ratification of appointment of independent registered accounting firm.

Vote Required

Proposal No. 1: Under applicable law and our current bylaws, the four director candidates who receive the greatest number of votes cast for the election of directors by shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote shall be elected directors. You are not entitled to cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Proposal No. 2: The ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

Voting Process

Shares that are properly voted or for which proxy cards are properly executed and returned will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the directions given or, in the absence of directions, will be voted “FOR”:

•

Election to our board of directors of the four nominees named in this proxy statement;

•

Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 2, 2014.

It is not expected that any other matters will be brought before the Annual Meeting. If, however, other matters are properly presented, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with their discretion with respect to such matters.

The manner in which your shares may be voted depends on how your shares are held. If you are the record holder of your shares, meaning you appear as the holder of your shares on the records of our stock transfer agent, you may vote those shares via the Internet, or, if you request a printed copy of the proxy materials, via a proxy card for voting those shares included with the printed proxy materials. If you own shares in street name, meaning you are a beneficial owner with your shares held through a bank or brokerage firm, you may instead receive a voting instruction form with this proxy statement that you may use to instruct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares.

Voting on the Internet

You can vote your shares via the Internet by following the instructions in the Notice. The Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate your identity and to allow you to vote your shares and confirm your voting instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote via the Internet, you do not need to complete and mail a proxy card. We encourage you to vote your shares via the Internet even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

Voting by Mail

You can vote your shares by mail by requesting a printed copy of the proxy materials sent to your address. When you receive the proxy materials, you may fill out the proxy card enclosed therein and return it per the instructions on the card. By signing and returning the proxy card according to the instructions provided, you are enabling the individuals named on the proxy card, known as “proxies,” to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in the manner you indicate. If you request a printed copy of the proxy materials, we encourage you to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

Voting by Telephone

You may be able to vote by telephone. If so, instructions are included with your Notice. If you vote by telephone, you do not need to complete and mail your proxy card.

Attendance and Voting at the Annual Meeting

If you are the record holder of your shares, you may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. You will be required to present a form of photo identification for admission to the Annual Meeting. If you own your stock in street name, you may attend the Annual Meeting in person provided that you present a form of photo identification and confirmation of ownership, such as a recent brokerage statement or a letter from a bank or broker, but in order to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting you must obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank or brokerage firm that holds your shares. You should contact your bank or brokerage account representative to obtain a legal proxy.

Revocation

If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke a previously granted proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting by delivering to the Secretary of lululemon athletica inc. a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Any stockholder owning shares in street name may change or revoke previously given voting instructions by contacting the bank or brokerage firm holding the shares or by obtaining a legal proxy from such bank or brokerage firm and voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Your personal attendance at the Annual Meeting does not revoke your proxy. Your last vote, prior to or at the Annual Meeting, is the vote that will be counted.

Householding

The SEC permits companies to send a single Notice, and for those stockholders that elect to receive a paper copy of proxy materials in the mail one copy of this proxy statement, together with our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2013, or fiscal 2012, to any household at which two or more stockholders reside, unless contrary instructions have been received, but only if we provide advance notice and follow certain procedures. In such cases, each stockholder continues to receive a separate Notice, and for those stockholders that elect to receive a paper copy of proxy materials in the mail, one copy of our fiscal 2012 Annual Report and this proxy statement. This householding process reduces the volume of duplicate information and reduces printing and mailing expenses. We have not instituted householding for stockholders of record; however, certain brokerage firms may have instituted householding for beneficial owners of our Common Stock held through brokerage firms. If your family has multiple accounts holding our Common Stock, you may have already received householding notification from your broker. Please contact your broker directly if you have any questions or require additional copies of the Notice, our fiscal 2012 Annual Report and this proxy statement. The broker will arrange for delivery of a separate copy of the Notice, and, if so requested, a separate copy of these proxy materials promptly upon your written or oral request. You may decide at any time to revoke your decision to household, and thereby receive multiple copies.

Solicitation of Proxies

We pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting. We solicit by mail, telephone, personal contact and electronic means and arrangements are made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send Notices, and if requested, other proxy materials, to beneficial owners. Upon request, we will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses. In addition, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies, either personally or by telephone, facsimile or written or electronic mail. Our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., will assist in the solicitation of proxies. The transfer agent does not charge a separate fee for this service. We will reimburse the transfer agent for any expenses related to proxy solicitation. Stockholders are requested to return their proxies without delay.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

We have a classified board of directors currently consisting of three Class I directors, four Class II directors, and four Class III directors, who will serve until the annual meetings of stockholders to be held in 2014, 2015 and 2013, respectively, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors are elected for a term of three years to succeed those directors whose terms expire at the annual meeting dates.

The term of the Class III directors will expire on the date of the upcoming Annual Meeting. Accordingly, four people are to be elected to serve as Class III directors of our board of directors at the Annual Meeting. Our board has nominated for election by the stockholders to the Class III positions Robert Bensoussan, William H. Glenn, Thomas G. Stemberg and Dennis J. Wilson, the current Class III members of our board of directors. If elected, Mr. Bensoussan, Mr. Glenn, Mr. Stemberg and Mr. Wilson will serve as Class III directors until our Annual Meeting of stockholders in 2016 and until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal.

Our board of directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees listed above will be unable to serve as a director. If, however, any nominee becomes unavailable, the proxies will have discretionary authority to vote for a substitute nominee. There are no family relationships among any of the directors or executive officers.

Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons named as proxies will vote “FOR” the election of the nominees listed above.

The following table sets forth the name and age of each director and director nominee, the positions and offices held by each director and the period during which the director has served as a director of lululemon.

Our board of directors selected Ms. White to serve as a director because of her extensive experience with social networking and technology companies, her understanding of the demographics in which our principal customers reside and the diversity in background and experience she provides to our board of directors.

Independence of the Board

Pursuant to the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market, or NASDAQ, a majority of the members of our board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by our board of directors. Our board of directors consults with our outside legal counsel to ensure that its determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in the NASDAQ listing standards in effect at the time of the determination.

Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director and director nominee, or any of his or her family members, and lululemon, our senior management and our independent auditors, our board of directors has affirmatively determined that the following nine directors and director nominees are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable NASDAQ listing standards: Robert Bensoussan, Michael Casey, RoAnn Costin, William H. Glenn, Martha A.M. Morfitt, Rhoda M. Pitcher, Thomas G. Stemberg, Jerry Stritzke, and Emily White. In making this determination, our board of directors found that none of these directors and director nominees had a material or other disqualifying relationship with the company. Dennis J. Wilson, the Chairman of the Board, and Christine M. Day, our Chief Executive Officer, are not independent directors by virtue of their current or former employment with lululemon.

Executive Sessions

Non-management directors meet in an executive session without management present each time our board of directors holds its regularly scheduled meetings. Michael Casey has been designated by our board of directors to act as the Lead Director for such executive sessions of non-management directors.

Committees and Meeting Attendance

Our board of directors has three standing committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee. Each of these committees operates under a written charter adopted by our board of directors. Copies of these charters are available on our website at www.lululemon.com. Our board of directors held eight meetings of the full board of directors during fiscal 2012. Each of the standing committees of our board of directors held the number of meetings indicated below. During fiscal 2012, each of our directors attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of our board of directors and all of the committees of our board of directors on which such director served during that period. Directors are encouraged to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. Nine directors attended the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.

The following table sets forth the three standing committees of our board of directors, the members of each committee during fiscal 2012 and the number of meetings held by each committee:

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is appointed by our board of directors to assist it in fulfilling its financial oversight responsibilities by overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes of lululemon and audits of our financial statements. The Audit Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities include:

•

Appointing and retaining our independent registered public accounting firm, approving all audit, review, and other services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm and determining the compensation to be paid for such services;

•

Overseeing the integrity of our financial reporting process and systems of internal controls regarding accounting and finance;

•

Overseeing the qualifications, independence, and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm;

•

Overseeing lululemon’s risk assessment and risk management policies, procedures and practices;

•

Reviewing and, if appropriate, approving any related party transactions;

•

Reviewing lululemon’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all directors, officers, and employees, and monitoring and approving any modifications or waivers of such code;

•

Providing a means for processing complaints and anonymous submissions by employees of concerns regarding accounting or auditing matters; and

•

Monitoring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

The current members of the Audit Committee are Michael Casey, William H. Glenn, Martha A.M. Morfitt (Chairperson), and Emily White. Our board of directors has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is “independent” for purposes of the NASDAQ listing requirements as they apply to audit committee members and that Mr. Casey and Ms. Morfitt qualify as “audit committee financial experts” under the rules of the SEC. The Audit Committee held five meetings during fiscal 2012.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee has been delegated authority by our board of directors to oversee all significant aspects of lululemon’s compensation policies and programs, including:

•

Reviewing and approving the compensation and annual performance objectives and goals of all of our executive officers;

•

Reviewing, approving, and administering incentive-based and equity-based compensation plans in which our executive officers participate;

•

Evaluating risks created by our compensation policies and practices and considering any reasonably likely effect of such risks;

•

Reviewing and recommending to our board of directors new executive compensation programs; and

•

Reviewing and recommending to our board of directors proposed changes in director compensation.

The current members of the Compensation Committee are RoAnn Costin, Rhoda M. Pitcher, Thomas G. Stemberg (Chairperson), and Jerry Stritzke. Our board of directors has determined that each of the members of the Compensation Committee is “independent” for purposes of the Nasdaq listing standards. The Compensation Committee held six meetings during fiscal 2012.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for matters relating to the corporate governance of our company and the nomination of members of our board of directors and its committees. The current

members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Michael Casey (Chairperson), Rhoda M. Pitcher, Thomas G. Stemberg, and Robert Bensoussan. Our board of directors has determined that each of the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee is “independent” for purposes of the NASDAQ listing standards. The Nominating and Governance Committee held five meetings during fiscal 2012.

Director Nominations

The Nominating and Governance Committee considers nominees recommended by directors, officers, employees, stockholders, and others based upon each candidate’s qualifications, including whether a candidate possesses any of the specific qualities and skills desirable in members of our board of directors. Nominees for our board of directors must be committed to enhancing long-term stockholder value and possess a high level of personal and professional ethics, sound business judgment, appropriate experience and achievements, personal character and integrity. Members of our board of directors are expected to understand our business and the industry in which we operate, regularly attend meetings of our board of directors and committee meetings, participate in meetings and decision making processes in an objective and constructive manner and be available to advise our officers and management. Evaluations of candidates generally involve a review of background materials, internal discussions, and interviews with selected candidates, as appropriate. Upon selection of a qualified candidate, the Nominating and Governance Committee recommends the candidate to our board of directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee may engage consultants or third-party search firms to assist in identifying and evaluating potential nominees.

The Nominating and Governance Committee does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of diversity in identifying nominees for directors. Once the Nominating and Governance Committee has confirmed that an individual meets the general qualifications for a director, and has further determined that such individual is appropriately qualified to serve on our board of directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee then considers the extent to which the membership of the candidate on our board of directors would promote a diversity of perspectives, backgrounds and experiences among the directors, including expertise and experience in a diversity of substantive matters pertaining to our business. However, our board of directors does not believe the subjective and varying nature of this nomination process lend itself to a formal policy or fixed rules with respect to the diversity of our board of directors.

The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee will evaluate director candidates in light of several factors, including the general criteria set forth above. Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating and Governance Committee to become nominees for election to our board of directors at an annual meeting of stockholders must do so in accordance with the procedures set forth in “Stockholder Proposals to be Presented at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders” section of this proxy statement and in compliance with our bylaws. Each submission must set forth: the name and address of the stockholder on whose behalf the submission is made; the number of our shares that are owned beneficially by such stockholder as of the date of the submission and the time period for which such shares have been held; the derivative securities interests owned beneficially by such stockholder as of the date of the submission; a statement from the record holder of the shares and derivative securities interests verifying the holdings; the full name of the proposed candidate; a description of the proposed candidate’s business experience for at least the previous five years; complete biographical information for the proposed candidate; a description of the proposed candidate’s qualifications as a director; and any other information described in our bylaws and in our “Guidelines for Evaluating Director Candidates,” which is available on our website at www.lululemon.com. To date, the Nominating and Governance Committee has not received a director nomination from a stockholder or stockholders holding more than 5% of our voting stock.

Board Structure

We have a classified board structure where board members are elected to three-year terms, such that generally every year only one-third of the directors are considered for election or re-election. We have had this

board structure continuously since lululemon became a publicly traded company in 2007. Our board of directors believes that the classified board structure has served lululemon and our stockholders well and continues to benefit our stockholders.

Our board of directors and its current governance structure has overseen a sustained period of strong performance. Our commitment to the value and reputation of the lululemon athletica brand, the concentrated efforts of our board of directors, and the constant focus on our mission and core values have produced strong financial performance over time. We believe that continuity in membership of our board of directors has assisted in consistent application of our heritage of combining performance and style to achieve our goals.

Our board of directors believes a classified board promotes the stability and continuity important to long-term stockholder value. Our board of directors believes that a classified structure provides valuable stability and continuity of leadership for lululemon. With three-year terms, directors develop a deeper understanding of our business, competitive environment, and strategic goals. Experienced directors are better positioned to provide effective oversight and advice consistent with the long-term best interest of stockholders. Electing directors to three-year terms also enhances the independence of non-employee directors. The longer term reduces the influence of special interest groups or significant stockholders who may have agendas contrary to the majority of stockholders and lululemon’s own long-term goals.

Our stockholders have repeatedly and consistently registered their approval of the decision making of our board of directors. They have also registered their approval of the board of directors, by a margin of nearly 100% of the votes cast in the last three elections. Similarly, in 2011 stockholders approved the compensation of our named executive officers by a vote of the holders of approximately 85% of our outstanding stock voting for approval.

In addition, our board of directors intends that the classified board structure be a safeguard against a purchaser gaining control of lululemon without paying fair value. Because only one-third of the directors are elected at any annual meeting, a majority of the board of directors cannot be replaced at a single annual meeting. A classified board does not preclude a change in control of lululemon. It does, however, provide the board of directors more time and flexibility to evaluate the adequacy and fairness of proposed offers, to implement the optimal method of enhancing stockholder value, to protect stockholders against abusive tactics during a takeover process, and to negotiate the best terms for all stockholders, without the threat of imminent removal of a majority of board members. Our board of directors believes that without a classified board structure, the board of directors’ power to deal with proposals it believes are unfair to lululemon’s stockholders or inadequate would be significantly reduced.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board of directors believes that one of its most important functions is to protect stockholders’ interests through independent oversight of management, including the Chief Executive Officer. However, our board of directors does not believe that effective management oversight necessarily mandates a particular management structure, such as a separation of the role and identities of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Our board of directors considers it important to retain flexibility to exercise its judgment as to the most appropriate management structure for lululemon, based on the particular circumstances facing lululemon from time to time.

Currently, the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are held by separate persons because our board of directors has determined that this structure aids in the oversight of management and is in the best interests of our company and our stockholders at this point in time. Dennis J. Wilson currently serves as Chairman of the Board. Our board of directors believes that Mr. Wilson, as the founder of lululemon, is in a unique position to support continuity in both the product vision and the cultural values of our company that have been an integral part of our success, and that his role as Chairman of the Board enables him to be more effective in this role.

Our board of directors has also appointed Michael Casey as Lead Director. Since our Chairman of the Board, Dennis J. Wilson, is a substantial stockholder and is a former employee of the company, our board of directors believes it is desirable also to appoint one of its independent members as Lead Director to provide an additional level of independent oversight over management. The Lead Director, together with the Chairman of the Board, performs numerous functions, including working with the Chief Executive Officer and the chairpersons of the committees of our board of directors to develop agendas for meetings of our board of directors and its committees. In addition, the Lead Director presides at meetings of our board of directors when the Chairman of the Board is not present, develops agendas for executive sessions of the non-management directors, serves as a liaison between the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer and the other non-management directors, approves information sent to our board of directors, approves meeting agendas and schedules for our board of directors, has the authority to call meetings of the non-management directors and performs such other functions and responsibilities as requested by the Chairman of the Board or our board of directors from time to time.

Communications with Directors

Stockholders may communicate with members of our board of directors by transmitting correspondence by mail, facsimile or email, addressed as follows:

Corporate Secretary

c/o lululemon athletica inc.

400 - 1818 Cornwall Avenue

Vancouver, British Columbia

Canada V6J 1C7

Facsimile: (604) 874-6124

Email: investors@lululemon.com

The Corporate Secretary will, as appropriate, forward communication to our board of directors or to any individual director, directors, or committee of our board of directors to whom the communication is directed.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of the officers, directors and employees of lululemon and our subsidiaries. The most current version is available on our website at www.lululemon.com. If we make any substantive amendments to the code or grant any waiver from a provision of the code to any executive officer or director, we will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on our website, as well as via any other means required by Nasdaq rules or applicable law.

2011 “Say-on-Pay” Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

We provided stockholders a “say-on-pay” advisory vote on our executive compensation at our annual meeting in 2011 under recently adopted Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. At our 2011 annual meeting, stockholders expressed substantial support for the compensation of our named executive officers (which term includes our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and each of our next three most highly compensated executive officers during a particular fiscal year), with holders of approximately 85% of our outstanding stock voting for approval of the “say-on-pay” advisory vote on executive compensation. Additionally, a majority of our voting stockholders approved a “say-on-frequency” advisory vote of every three years for the frequency of future “say-on-pay” advisory votes.

The Compensation Committee evaluated the results of the 2011 “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency” advisory votes at its meeting held in September 2011. The Compensation Committee also considered many other factors in evaluating our executive compensation programs as discussed in this Compensation Discussion and

Analysis, including the Compensation Committee’s assessment of the interaction of our compensation programs with our corporate business objectives, evaluations of our programs by external consultants and a review of compensation data for a comparative group of peers. While each of these factors bore on the Compensation Committee’s decisions regarding the compensation of our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee did not make any changes to our executive compensation policies and practices as a direct result of the 2011 “say-on-pay” advisory vote. Our board of directors also determined that the next “say-on-pay” advisory vote on executive compensation will be held at our 2014 annual meeting of stockholders.

Risk Oversight

In its governance role, and particularly in exercising its duty of care and diligence, our board of directors is responsible for ensuring that appropriate risk management policies and procedures are in place to protect the company’s assets and business. While our board of directors has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, our board of directors has delegated to the Audit Committee the initial responsibility of overseeing the company’s risk assessment and risk management. In fulfilling its delegated responsibility, the Audit Committee has directed management to ensure that an approach to risk management is implemented as a part of the day-to-day operations of lululemon, and to design internal control systems with a view to identifying and managing material risks.

On a periodic basis (not less than quarterly), the Audit Committee reviews and discusses with our Chief Executive Officer, our risk and compliance team and our internal auditors the company’s significant financial risk exposures and the steps that management has taken to monitor, control and report such risks. In addition, the Audit Committee regularly evaluates the company’s policies, procedures and practices with respect to enterprise risk assessment and risk management, including discussions with management about material risk exposures and the steps being taken to monitor, control and report such risks. The Audit Committee reports its activities to the full board of directors on a regular basis (not less than annually) and in that regard makes such recommendations to our board of directors with respect to risk assessment and management as it may deem necessary or appropriate.

On a periodic basis (not less than annually), the Compensation Committee reviews the various design elements of our compensation policies and practices to determine whether any of their aspects encourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking by our executive officers. The Compensation Committee reports its activities in this regard to the full board of directors and makes such recommendations to our board of directors with respect to our compensation policies and practices as it may deem necessary or appropriate.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The four current members of the Compensation Committee, RoAnn Costin, Rhoda M. Pitcher, Thomas G. Stemberg, and Jerry Stritzke, have never served as one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serve, or in fiscal 2012 served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers who serve on our board of directors or Compensation Committee.

Director and Officer Stock Ownership Guidelines

In June 2008, we adopted our director and officer stock ownership guidelines due to our belief that our non-employee directors and certain of our executive officers should have a meaningful ownership stake in lululemon to underscore the alignment of executive officer, director, and stockholder interests and to encourage a long-term perspective in our management. Accordingly, our Nominating and Governance Committee adopted formal stock ownership guidelines, as amended through the current date, as follows:


Position		Minimum Ownership Guidelines
		(Dollar Value of Shares)
Non-employee directors		5 x Annual Retainer Compensation
Chief Executive Officer		6 x Base Salary
Other executive officers reporting to Chief Executive Officer		3 x Base Salary

Our non-employee directors and certain of our executive officers that are subject to the guidelines are encouraged to comply with the guidelines by the later of April 2014 and five years after their date of hire, appointment or election.

Executive Officers

We designate persons serving in the following positions as our “executive officers”: our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer, and our vice presidents who are in charge of a principal unit of our business, or perform a policy-making function for us.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of our board of directors has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or PwC, as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of lululemon for the fiscal year ending February 2, 2014. PwC has acted in such capacity since its appointment in fiscal 2006. A representative of PwC is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, with the opportunity to make a statement if the representative desires to do so, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise. However, the board of directors is submitting the selection of PwC to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee at its discretion may direct the selection of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of lululemon and our stockholders.

Fees for Professional Services

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed to lululemon for the fiscal years ended February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012 by PwC:


	Fiscal 2012		Fiscal 2011
Audit Fees(1)	$	676,336	$	703,485
Audit-Related Fees(2)	$	43,966	$	74,111
Tax Fees(3)	$	0	$	39,605
All Other Fees(4)	$	240,341	$	0

(1)

Audit Fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our consolidated annual financial statements and review of the interim consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports and services that are normally provided by PwC in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including issuance of comfort letters to underwriters and consent procedures in connection public filings.

(2)	Audit-Related Fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.”

(3)	Tax Fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning (domestic and international). These services include assistance regarding federal, state and international tax compliance, acquisitions and international tax planning.

(4)	All Other Fees consist of fees for products and services other than the services reported above.

None of the services related to Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees or All Other Fees described above was approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the waiver of pre-approval provisions set forth in applicable rules of the SEC. The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval. The Chairperson of the Audit Committee is also authorized, pursuant to delegated authority, to pre-approve additional services of up to $25,000 per engagement on a case-by-case basis, and such approvals are communicated to the full Audit Committee at its next meeting.

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively on the proposal at the Annual Meeting, as well as the presence of a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding shares of our common stock, either in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not have any effect on the outcome of the proposal.

Our board of directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 2, 2014.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee oversees lululemon’s financial reporting process on behalf of our board of directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including internal control systems. Our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, is responsible for expressing an opinion as to the conformity of our audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee also evaluates lululemon’s policies, procedures and practices with respect to enterprise risk assessment and risk management, including discussions with management about material risk exposures and steps being taken to monitor, control and report such risks.

The Audit Committee consists of four directors, each of whom, in the judgment of our board of directors, is an “independent director” for purposes of the Nasdaq listing standards. The Audit Committee acts pursuant to a written charter that has been adopted by our board of directors. A copy of this charter is available on our website at www.lululemon.com.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. The Audit Committee has discussed and reviewed with our independent registered public accounting firm all matters required to be discussed Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (Communication with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee has met with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, with and without management present, to discuss the overall scope of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s audit, the results of its examinations, and the overall quality of lululemon’s financial reporting.

The Audit Committee has received from our independent registered public accounting firm a formal written statement describing all relationships between the firm and lululemon that might bear on the auditors’ independence consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, and satisfied itself as to the auditors’ independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to our board of directors that lululemon’s audited financial statements be included in lululemon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2013.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our Compensation Committee has adopted a compensation philosophy for our executive compensation program that contains the following primary goals:

•

attract, retain and motivate the executive talent necessary to drive the achievement of lululemon’s high performance retail business model and contribute to our company’s success;

•

focus on pay-for-performance by linking a significant portion of executive pay to the achievement of short-term and long-term business objectives;

•

align the interest of executives and stockholders by delivering a significant component of executive pay through performance based equity compensation and through our executive share ownership guidelines; and

•

provide total compensation near the market median for achieving business goals with the ability for actual pay to reach near or above the 75th percentile for exceeding goals.

Our Compensation Committee evaluates the pay of our executive officers with the goal of setting compensation at levels they believe are comparable with executives in other companies operating in the retail apparel and other related industries that are generally of similar size and stage of development. The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving our goals and objectives relating to the compensation of our executive officers, evaluating the performance of our executive officers in light of such goals and objectives, and setting the compensation level, perquisites and other benefits of our executive officers based on this evaluation. The Compensation Committee is also charged with reviewing and recommending to our board of directors new executive compensation programs, evaluating our compensation policies and practices to determine whether they are properly coordinated and achieving their intended purposes, reviewing the various design elements of our compensation program to determine whether any of its aspects encourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking and establishing and periodically reviewing policies for the administration of executive compensation programs.

In connection with setting appropriate levels of compensation for our named executive officers, our Compensation Committee bases its decisions on the general business and industry knowledge and experience of the members of the Compensation Committee, the performance evaluations, experience and potential of each individual, the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the other executive officers, the advice of its independent compensation consultant, as well as information provided to the Compensation Committee with respect to the compensation of other comparable companies, while also taking into account our absolute and relative performance and strategic goals.

Role of Executive Officers in Executive Compensation

Our independent directors, under the direction of the lead director, meet with our Chief Executive Officer at the beginning of the year to agree upon the Chief Executive Officer’s performance objectives for the year. At the end of the year, the independent directors meet with the Chief Executive Officer and in executive session to assess the Chief Executive Officer’s performance taking into account her achievement of the objectives, contribution to the company’s performance, ethics and integrity, and other leadership accomplishments. This evaluation is shared with the Chief Executive Officer by the lead director and is used by the Compensation Committee in setting the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation for the following year.

For the other executive officers, the Compensation Committee receives performance assessments and compensation recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer and also exercises its judgment based on the

directors’ interactions with the executive officers. As with the Chief Executive Officer, an executive officer’s performance assessment is based on his or her achievement of objectives established between the executive officer and the Chief Executive Officer, contribution to the company’s performance, ethics and integrity, and other leadership attributes and accomplishments.

Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co., or FWC, as its independent compensation consultant. FWC reports directly to the Compensation Committee and attends Compensation Committee meetings as requested. Under the terms of its engagement, FWC is responsible for reviewing Compensation Committee agendas and supporting materials in advance of each meeting, providing to the Compensation Committee market data and recommendations regarding the compensation of the executive officers, advising our Compensation Committee on evolving trends and best practices in executive compensation and committee governance, assisting in the Compensation Committee’s review and evaluation of our compensation policies and practices, and reviewing our Compensation Discussion and Analysis. FWC also provides independent advice to our Compensation Committee on director compensation. FWC does not provide, and is prohibited from providing, other services to lululemon and our management.

Elements of Compensation

Our executive officer compensation consists of the following components:

•

base salary;

•

annual cash incentive opportunity linked to corporate and individual performance objectives;

•

long-term incentive awards in the form of equity-based compensation; and

•

other executive benefits such as health benefits, life insurance and tax consulting services. During the year of hire, we may also provide reimbursement of relocation and moving expenses and temporary housing.

Our Compensation Committee’s policies with respect to each of these elements, including the basis for the compensation awarded to our executive officers, are discussed below. In addition, while each element of compensation described below is considered separately, our Compensation Committee takes into account the full compensation opportunity for each executive officer in determining total compensation.

Peer Group

At least annually, the Compensation Committee, with the assistance of FWC, conducts a review of the peer group used for executive compensation comparisons to ensure all peer companies remain an appropriate basis for comparison. In selecting peer companies, the Compensation Committee aims to identify companies with characteristics similar to ours: are in the retail apparel industry or another related industry, have a strong consumer brand, are highly profitable and fast growing, and are of a comparable size (based on revenue, operating income and market capitalization). Based on these criteria, the Compensation Committee utilized the following 16 peer companies for 2012 pay decisions:


2012 Peer Group:
Aeropostale	Fossil	Netflix	Under Armour
Chipotle Mexican Grill	Gildan Activewear	Panera Bread	Vera Bradley
Buckle	Green Mountain Coffee Roasters	True Religion Apparel	Vitamin Shoppe
Decker’s Outdoor	Joseph A. Bank	Urban Outfitters	Zumiez

Following a review conducted later in 2012, the Compensation Committee modified the peer group to remove True Religion Apparel, Vera Bradley, and Zumiez and add Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle Outfitters, and PVH.

Base Salary

The base salary established for each of our executive officers is intended to reflect each individual’s responsibilities, experience, historical performance and other discretionary factors deemed relevant by our Compensation Committee. Base salary is also designed to provide our executive officers with steady cash flow during the course of the fiscal year that is not contingent on short-term variations in our operating performance. In order to attract and retain qualified executives, base salaries are generally targeted near the market median of base salaries of similarly situated executives at the peer group companies. Base salaries for an executive officer may vary above or below median based on their performance, industry experience, and time in position.

In considering whether to adjust base salary from year to year, our Compensation Committee considers the following:

•

corporate performance and the performance of each individual executive officer;

•

the relative value of the position within the organization;

•

any new responsibilities delegated to the executive officer during the year;

•

any contractual agreements with our executive officers; and

•

the competitive marketplace for executive talent, including a comparison of base salaries for comparable positions at other similarly situated companies.

With these principles in mind, base salaries are reviewed at least annually by our Compensation Committee and our board of directors, and may be adjusted from time to time based on the results of this review. FWC prepares a report for the Compensation Committee annually that contains an assessment of the executive officers’ compensation, including base salary, annual cash incentives, and equity-based incentives, relative to comparable positions at the peer group companies.

Following its annual review of the target compensation levels of the executive officers and the CEO’s assessment of each officer’s performance and individual contributions, the Compensation Committee increased the base salaries of each of the executive officers for 2013. The table below sets forth the base salary set by the Compensation Committee for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 for each of our executive officers included in the summary compensation table in this proxy statement, to whom we refer to as “named executive officers”:


Name	Fiscal 2013 Base Salary (CDN$)		Fiscal 2012 Base Salary (CDN$)		Increase
Christine M. Day		750,000		675,000		11.1	%
John E. Currie		467,000		445,000		4.9	%
Sheree Waterson(1)		453,900		445,000		2.0	%
Delaney Schweitzer		444,000		380,000		16.8	%
Laura Klauberg		459,000		445,000		3.1	%

(1)	Ms. Waterson’s employment with us terminated as of April 15, 2013.

Annual Cash Incentives

Our board of directors has the authority to award annual cash performance bonuses to our executive officers. The annual performance bonuses are intended to compensate our executive officers for achieving financial, operational and strategic goals and for achieving individual annual performance objectives. These annual bonus amounts are intended to reward both overall company and individual performance during the year and, as such, can be highly variable from year to year. Cash bonuses, as opposed to equity grants, are designed to more immediately reward annual performance against key short-term performance metrics. We believe that establishing cash bonus opportunities is an important factor in both attracting and retaining the services of qualified and highly skilled executives and in motivating our executives to achieve our annual objectives.

Our Compensation Committee sets the target annual bonus levels for each of our executive officers as a percentage of his or her base salary. The payment of these cash bonuses is based on specified corporate and

individual performance goals as established by our Compensation Committee under our executive bonus plan described below. Actual payouts of these cash bonuses may vary from 0% of the target bonus level for performance below a threshold determined by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the fiscal year to 150% of the target bonus level for achieving or exceeding the maximum performance level determined by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the fiscal year. The table below sets forth the target annual bonus levels, as a percentage of each executive officer’s base salary, set by the Compensation Committee for fiscal 2012 for each of our executive officers included in the summary compensation table in this proxy statement, to whom we refer as “named executive officers”:


Executive	2012 Target Bonus as a Percentage of Base Salary
Christine M. Day		100	%
John E. Currie		75	%
Sheree Waterson(1)		75	%
Delaney Schweitzer		75	%
Laura Klauberg		75	%

(1)	Ms. Waterson’s employment with us terminated as of April 15, 2013.

The annual cash bonuses paid to our executive officers are paid under an executive bonus plan our board of directors adopted in March 2011. The current executive bonus plan, which was approved by our stockholders at our 2011 annual meeting, is designed for our executive officers at the level of executive vice president and above, as well as other senior officers designated by the Compensation Committee or our board of directors, and is designed to ensure maximum tax deductibility for executive bonuses under section 162(m).

Under the executive bonus plan, the objectively determined financial performance goals and objectively determined individual performance goals for executives are weighted such that 90% of the bonus is based on the achievement of company financial performance goals and 10% is based on the achievement of individual performance goals.

LOGO

During the first quarter of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves the company financial performance measures for the executive bonus plan participants and a range of potential payouts resulting from the achievement of each financial performance goal. The Compensation Committee also approves the relative weighting of each specific financial performance measure. Actual payouts under the executive bonus plan may range from 0% of the target bonus level for performance below a minimum threshold, to a maximum of 150% of the target bonus level for achieving or exceeding the maximum performance level. Additionally, the executive bonus plan will have a 0% payout for performance below a minimum threshold goal established by the Compensation Committee, which for fiscal 2012 was based on company operating income. The following table provides a breakdown of the company financial performance goal components for fiscal 2012, including the relative weight of such goals, and the threshold necessary for an officer to receive a payout of his or her target annual bonus, with amounts payable in between the specific percentage points listed in the table determined on a straight-line basis.


Company Performance Measure	Weight			Minimum Company Performance to Achieve 50% of Target Bonus			Minimum Company Performance to Achieve 100% of Target Bonus			Minimum Company Performance to Achieve 150% of Target Bonus
Operating Income		50	%	$	314,508,000		$	360,500,000		$	394,200,000
Company Revenue		10	%	$	1,250,000,000		$	1,343,800,000		$	1,410,990,000
Gross Margin		30	%		53.60	%		54.60	%		56.30	%
Inventory Turns		10	%		3.25x			3.55x			3.85x

Each individual who is a participant in the executive bonus plan is required to provide to the Compensation Committee his or her proposed individual performance goals within 90 days after the beginning of the fiscal year. The Compensation Committee then determines, in its sole discretion, whether modifications to such proposed individual performance goals are needed in order to align the individual performance goals with the company’s overall growth and development strategy. The Compensation Committee also considers whether the proposed individual performance goals are measurable for purposes of determining such officer’s achievement of his or her goals after the completion of the fiscal year. Examples of such individual performance goals for a particular fiscal year could include one or more of the following, as examples: the company’s operating income for a certain geographic region; the average annualized sales per store; or the number of new stores opened within a particular geographic region.

The Compensation Committee approves the individual performance goals for each individual covered by the executive bonus plan, with corresponding percentage weights designed to measure the individual’s contribution, upon which 10% of our executives’ bonuses for fiscal 2012 were based. For the executive officers, the Compensation Committee established a goal of “product margin” on which the entire 10% individual performance goals for executive officers was based for fiscal 2012.

During the first quarter of the next fiscal year, our Compensation Committee reviews our performance relative to the achievement of our financial, operational and strategic goals established at the beginning of the preceding fiscal year and each executive’s individual performance and contribution to achieving those goals in order to determine the amount of bonus, if any, payable to our executive officers. In making its determination, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, make adjustments to the corporate and individual performance results to take into account certain extraordinary and/or non-recurring events such as acquisitions, dispositions, and other corporate transactions that could have an effect on our operating budget during the preceding fiscal year. The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, reduce but not increase the amount earned by an executive officer according to the plan. Executive officers must remain employed by us on the date bonuses are paid to be eligible for payment, unless employment is terminated as a result of death or disability.

In March 2013, the Compensation Committee reviewed the financial results of the company and the achievement relative to the targets that had been set for the financial and individual goals at the start of the year and determined that no adjustments were deemed necessary to the results for annual incentive purposes. The Compensation Committee determined that the financial performance goals and individual performance goals established under the executive bonus plan for the executive officers had been achieved at the following levels for fiscal 2012, resulting in a payout of 123.0% of the target annual bonus levels under the executive bonus plan for fiscal 2012.

Equity-Based Compensation

We believe that equity awards are an important component of our executive compensation program and that providing a significant portion of our executive officers’ total compensation opportunity in equity-based compensation helps drive the achievement of our long-term performance goals and aligns the incentives of our executives with the interests of our stockholders. Additionally, we believe that equity-based awards enable us to attract, motivate, retain and adequately compensate executive talent. To that end, we generally award equity-based compensation in the form of options to purchase our common stock as well as performance share awards. Our Compensation Committee believes stock options and performance share awards provide executives with a significant long-term interest in our success by rewarding the creation of stockholder value over time measured by share price appreciation and the achievement of our longer-term objectives.

The Compensation Committee establishes a target annual equity award value for the executive officers based upon the annual review of officer compensation relative to the peer group companies and an assessment of company-wide equity usage. The CEO provides a recommendation to the Committee for the actual equity award grant values for the other executive officers that may be plus or minus twenty percent of the target based upon

the review of each officer’s performance. Generally, each executive officer is provided with an annual stock option grant and performance share unit award based upon their position with us and their relevant prior performance. For fiscal 2012, the performance share unit awards generally represent 75% of the annual grant value provided to our executive officers and stock options represent the remaining 25%.

Our Compensation Committee determines the size, terms and conditions of option grants and performance share unit awards to our executive officers in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan. Equity grants made to our executive officers are recommended by our Compensation Committee and approved by our Board, or may be approved directly by our Compensation Committee.

Stock Options. The stock option grants generally vest in four equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant to encourage executive longevity and to compensate our executive officers for their contribution over the long-term. Stock options only have value to the executive officers to the extent that, on the date they are exercised, the company’s share price is higher than the price on the date of grant. Due to historic volatility in our stock price, it has been our practice to grant half of the stock options in March and the rest in September. The options generally have a term of seven years and are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

Performance Share Unit Awards. Each performance share unit represents a right to receive one share of our common stock on a specified settlement date if the performance share unit vests as a result of our attainment of a performance goal during a performance period. Each performance share unit award specifies the target number of performance share units (the number of performance share units that will vest if the performance goal achieved is 100% of target), the minimum number of performance share units (50% of the performance share units will vest if the performance goal is achieved at a minimum threshold level) and the maximum number of performance share units (the maximum number of performance share units that may be issued under the award if the performance goal is achieved at the maximum level). The maximum number of performance share units represents 150% of the target number of performance share units.

The performance period and vesting period for our performance share awards generally consists of three fiscal years. For example, performance share units granted in fiscal 2012 will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date in fiscal 2015 depending on performance against the performance goals established by the Compensation Committee for the fiscal 2012 through fiscal 2014 performance period.

During the first quarter of the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes the minimum, target, and maximum performance and payout levels for the performance share awards. For the performance shares granted in each of 2010, 2011 and 2012, the performance measure used to determine payout of the awards is three-year cumulative growth in operating income. The performance share unit goals that have been established by the Committee require a significant level of growth in order to receive target, or any, payout. At the end of the performance period, the Compensation Committee reviews the results of the company’s performance relative to the goals and approves the payout of the awards. For the performance share unit awards granted in 2010 that covered the fiscal 2010 through 2012 performance period, the company’s operating income growth resulted in a payout of 150% of the target performance share unit awards granted. These shares generally vested on March 29, 2013.

Other Features of the Executive Compensation Program

Clawback Policy. In September 2010, the Compensation Committee approved the adoption of a Clawback Policy which applies to all incentive compensation paid or awarded to an executive officer on or after the date of the policy was adopted. Under the policy, we may seek to recover all or part of any incentive compensation awarded or paid to executive officers in the event we determine that we must restate our financial results to correct an accounting error due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the US federal securities law within three years from the first issuance of such financial results.

Other Benefits. Based on our pay-for-performance philosophy, our executive compensation program includes limited perquisites and other benefits as outlined below:

The cost of providing these benefits and perquisites to the named executive officers is included in the amounts shown in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table and detailed in the footnotes to such table. We believe the executive benefits we provide are reasonable and generally consistent with benefits offered by companies with which we compete for executive talent, and therefore offering these benefits serves the objective of attracting and retaining top executive talent. A discussion and analysis of such benefits follows.

•

Relocation Package. Under limited circumstances, we provide certain relocation benefits to executive officers who relocate to Canada from another country for work on the company’s behalf. Ms. Day, Ms. Waterson, and Ms. Klauberg relocated to Canada from the United States for purposes of working for the company. Each of Ms. Day, Ms. Waterson, and Ms. Klauberg received tax preparation assistance, reimbursement of moving expenses and reimbursement of temporary housing expenses.

•

Housing and Living Expenses. We agreed to pay certain housing and living expenses to certain of our named executive officers in connection with their relocation to Canada.

•

Executive Life and Long-Term Disability Insurance. We provide life and long-term disability insurance to our named executive officers. We believe this is a standard benefit offered to executive-level management by comparable companies.

Employment Agreements and Severance Arrangements. We have entered into employment agreements with each of Ms. Day, Mr. Currie, Ms. Waterson, Ms. Schweitzer and Ms. Klauberg that provide such individuals with certain severance rights. These agreements were made in order to attract and retain the services of these particular executives. The agreements were the result of negotiations between the parties, which we believe resulted in severance rights that are commercially reasonable and typical of the rights afforded to similarly situated executives in other companies of similar size and stage of development operating in the retail apparel industry.

In each case, the severance payments are contingent on the occurrence of certain termination (or constructive termination) events and require the executive to execute a release of claims in our favor. These severance arrangements are intended to provide the executives with a sense of security in making the commitment to dedicate his or her professional career to our success. These severance rights do not differ based on whether or not we experience a change in control. The specific terms of these arrangements are discussed in detail under the heading “— Agreements with Named Executive Officers.”

We have no current plans to make changes to the employment agreements of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President, Chief Product Officer, Executive Vice President, Retail Operations North America or Senior Vice President, Brand and Community (except as required by law or as required to clarify the benefits to which our executive officers are entitled as set forth herein) or to levels of benefits and perquisites provided to our executive officers.

Risk Considerations in Determining Compensation

Our Compensation Committee reviewed the various design elements of our compensation program to determine whether any of its aspects encourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking. Following the risk evaluation, the Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company.

Tax and Accounting Considerations Affecting Executive Compensation

We structure our compensation program in a manner that is consistent with our compensation philosophy and objectives. However, while it is our Compensation Committee’s general intention to design the components of our executive compensation program in a manner that is tax efficient for both us and our executives, there can be no assurance that our Compensation Committee will always approve compensation that is tax advantageous for us or the executives.

Similarly, we endeavor to design our equity incentive awards conventionally, so that they are accounted for under standards governing equity-based arrangements and, more specifically, so that they are afforded fixed treatment under those standards.

Compensation Committee Report

We, the Compensation Committee of the board of directors, have reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this proxy statement with management. Based on such review and discussion, we have recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and in lululemon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2013.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

The following table sets forth summary information concerning the compensation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and each of our next three most highly compensated executive officers during fiscal 2012. We refer to these persons as our “named executive officers.” The dollar amounts shown were converted to U.S. dollars from Canadian dollars using the average of the exchange rates on the last business day of each month during the applicable fiscal year. Applying this formula to fiscal 2012, 2011, and 2010, CDN$1.00 was equal to US$1.002, US$1.010, and US$0.974, respectively.

Agreements with Named Executive Officers

Christine M. Day

On August 1, 2008, we entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Christine M. Day, our Chief Executive Officer. The term of Ms. Day’s employment agreement continues until either she or we terminate her employment. Under the terms of her employment agreement, Ms. Day received an initial annual base salary of CDN$550,000, which has subsequently been adjusted to CDN$750,000 for fiscal 2013. Under the terms of her employment agreement, Ms. Day is also eligible to receive an annual target performance bonus of 100% of her base salary for the applicable fiscal year, if specified financial performance and individual performance goals are met for that year, which has subsequently been adjusted to 150% for fiscal 2013. Pursuant to the terms of her employment agreement, we granted Ms. Day options to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock in connection with her appointment to the position of Chief Executive Officer, 83,333 of which were granted on August 1, 2008, 83,333 of which were granted on September 2, 2008 and 83,334 of which were granted on October 1, 2008. Additionally, Ms. Day retained the right to receive those stock options that we previously agreed to grant to her under the terms of a prior agreement, which include an option to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock in connection with her initial hire granted on January 18, 2008, an option to purchase 41,667 shares of our common stock granted on January 7, 2009, an option to purchase 41,667 shares of our common stock granted on January 7, 2010, and an option to purchase 41,666 shares of our common stock granted on January 7, 2011. All options have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and have vested or will vest 25% per year for four years on each anniversary of the effective grant date of the option.

Ms. Day agrees to serve as a director of the company and its affiliates, and will not be entitled to additional compensation for such positions. Upon the termination of her employment agreement for any reason, Ms. Day

agrees to resign from all such director positions. Ms. Day further covenants that, while she is still employed by the Company, she will not serve as a director of more than two entities that are unrelated to the company, and agrees to obtain the advance consent of our board of directors prior to commencing any such service for an unrelated entity.

We will reimburse Ms. Day for all reasonable out-of-pocket business-relatedexpenses and she is entitled to participate in the employee benefit and fringe benefit arrangements generally available to the company’s senior executive employees. Additionally, we will provide Ms. Day with benefit coverage for her dependents up to a maximum amount of US$12,000, and will also reimburse Ms. Day for the cost of supplemental term life insurance up to a maximum amount of US$17,500 per year.

Ms. Day’s employment may be terminated by Ms. Day or by us at any time, with or without cause. In the event Ms. Day voluntarily resigns or we terminate her employment for cause, she will receive only her base salary then in effect and benefits earned and payable as of the date of termination. In the event we terminate Ms. Day without cause or her employment terminates due to her permanent disability, and subject to her compliance with the surviving terms of the employment agreement and a non-compete, non-solicitation and non-disparagement agreement and execution of a full release, she will be entitled to a minimum of 12 months of base salary, which amount will be increased by two additional months of base salary for each additional year of service that Ms. Day provides to the company, up to a maximum amount of 18 months of base salary.

For purposes of Ms. Day’s employment agreement with us, termination “for cause” will be deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any act, or failure to act, which would constitute cause at common law, and includes:

•

conduct by, or authorized or permitted by, Ms. Day;

•

violation of any contractual or common law duty to the company;

•

unlawful activity;

•

activity contrary to professional or ethical standards; and

•

breach of the terms and conditions of the employment agreement by Ms. Day which amount to just cause at common law.

Ms. Day is also obligated to maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information. In addition, Ms. Day agrees that all rights to our proprietary information and intellectual property are and will remain our sole and exclusive property.

On March 24, 2010 we entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with our current Chief Financial Officer, John E. Currie, amending the terms of Mr. Currie’s employment with us. The employment agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety Mr. Currie’s prior offer letter with us, dated December 20, 2006. We amended the employment agreement in 2012 to revise certain provisions regarding severance payments.

Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Currie received an initial annual base salary of CDN$400,000, which has subsequently been adjusted to CDN$467,000 for fiscal 2013.

This option grant was not modified under the current employment agreement.

This option grant was not modified under the most recent employment agreement.

Subject to Ms. Waterson’s compliance with the surviving terms of a non-compete, non-solicitation and non-disparagement agreement, she will be entitled to receive an amount equal to her base salary for the 15-month period following her termination date.

Ms. Schweitzer also agrees that during the 12-month period following her termination, she will not compete with the company or solicit for employment any company employee.

Laura Klauberg

On April 16, 2012, we extended an employment offer letter to Laura Klauberg, our Senior Vice President, Brand and Community.

Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment and Change in Control

The following tables set forth the payments and benefits that would be due to each of Ms. Day, Mr. Currie, Ms. Waterson, Ms. Schweitzer and Ms. Klauberg upon the termination of his or her employment. The amounts provided in the tables below assume that each termination was effective as of February 3, 2013 (the last day of our fiscal year). These are merely illustrative of the impact of hypothetical events, based on the terms of arrangements then in effect. The amounts to be payable upon an actual termination of employment can only be determined at the time of such event, based on the facts and circumstances then prevailing. Under the terms of our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, take a number of actions with respect to outstanding stock options and performance share awards, including the acceleration of the unvested portion of the stock options or performance share units or the cancellation of such outstanding options

in exchange for a substitute award. For the purpose of the tables below, we have assumed that the Board would not elect to accelerate the unvested portion of the outstanding stock options or performance share awards. Our agreements with these executives do not contain tax gross-up provisions.

In fiscal 2012 each non-employee director was entitled to receive a restricted stock awards having a fair value at the time of grant equal to $110,000, subject to one-year vesting. Equity grants for non-employee directors who joined our board of directors during fiscal 2012 were made on a pro-rata basis.

For fiscal 2013, each non-employee director will receive a restricted stock award having a fair value at the time of grant equal to $110,000, subject to one-year vesting. Such annual non-employee director grants will be made at the conclusion of the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders if the director is then a member of our board of directors. Stock option grants previously made to directors have historically had a ten or seven year term and an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.

In an effort to bring director compensation in line with what we believe are competitive practices, the Compensation Committee has recommended for fiscal 2013, and the Board has approved, an increase to the additional retainers for outside directors. For fiscal 2013 the additional annual retainer for the Chairman of the Board and the Lead Director will be increased to $50,000, the Compensation Committee Chair will be increased to $12,500 and the Nominating and Governance Committee Chair will be increased to $10,000.

The following table sets forth the amount of compensation we paid to each of our non-employee directors for fiscal 2012 for serving on our board of directors:

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Person Transactions for Fiscal 2012

Other than compensation agreements and other arrangements which are described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and the transactions described below, since January 30, 2012, there has not been, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. We believe that we have executed all of the transactions set forth below on terms no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Lease of Retail Location Property to Company

0823038 BC Ltd., a company indirectly owned by Mr. Wilson, owns the land and building in which our Victoria, British Columbia store is located. We currently lease the space for our Victoria store from 0823038 BC Ltd. at a monthly rent of CDN$7,292. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, the lease will continue until June 30, 2017. The total monthly payments due under the lease from January 30, 2012 (the first day of our 2012 fiscal year) through the end of the current lease term are approximately CDN$474,060.

Independent Contract Agreement and Materials License Agreement

We entered a Materials License Agreement and an Independent Contractor Agreement, which commenced on February 1, 2011, with the Conrad Group, Inc., a company owned by Susanne Conrad, Mr. Wilson’s sister-in-law. Under these two agreements, the Conrad Group, Inc. provides certain personal and professional development coaching to our employees, and grants us a license to use certain associated training materials. We made payments totaling $295,117 to the Conrad Group during fiscal 2012 pursuant to these two agreements.

Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions

In April 2007, we adopted a written statement of policy with respect to related party transactions, which is administered by our Audit Committee. Under our current related party transaction policy, a “Related Party Transaction” is any transaction, arrangement or relationship between us or any of our subsidiaries and a Related Person not including any transactions involving less than $120,000 when aggregated with all similar transactions for any calendar year, or transactions that have received pre-approval of our Audit Committee. A “Related Person” is any of our executive officers, directors or director nominees, any stockholder beneficially owning in excess of 5% of our stock or securities exchangeable for our stock, any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, and any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is an executive officer, a partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person has a 5% or greater beneficial ownership interest in such entity.

Pursuant to our related party transaction policy, a Related Party Transaction may only be consummated or may only continue if:

•

Our Audit Committee approves or ratifies such transaction in accordance with the terms of the policy; or

•

the Chairperson of our Audit Committee pre-approves or ratifies such transaction and the amount involved in the transaction is less than $500,000, provided that for the Related Party Transaction to continue it must be approved by our Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

If advance approval of a Related Party Transaction is not feasible, then that Related Party Transaction will be considered and, if our Audit Committee determines it to be appropriate, ratified, at its next regularly scheduled meeting. If we decide to proceed with a Related Party Transaction without advance approval, then the terms of such Related Party Transaction must permit termination by us without further material obligation in the event our Audit Committee ratification is not forthcoming at our Audit Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting.

Transactions with Related Persons, though not classified as Related Party Transactions by our related party transaction policy and thus not subject to its review and approval requirements, may still need to be disclosed if required by the applicable securities laws, rules and regulations.
