On January 8, 2024, we entered into an Amended and Restated Customer Investment Agreement where GC will provide up to an additional $140 million of financing for our sales and marketing growth efforts beginning from the Original Commitment End Date through December 31, 2025.

The Amended and Restated Agreement as of February 2025 contains standard customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties, and will continue in effect unless terminated by any party pursuant to its terms. Under all of these agreements, subject to certain terms and conditions specified therein, at the start of each growth period, an Investment Amount of up to 80% of our growth spend (the "Investment Amount") will be advanced by GC. During each growth period, we will repay each Investment Amount including a 16% rate of return based upon an agreed schedule. Once fully repaid, we will retain all future reference income related to each respective Investment Amount.

Current wording

The Agreement has been amended and restated on several occasions to extend the commitment period and increase the financing agreement. On January 8, 2024, the Agreement was amended and restated to provide up to an additional $140 million of financing December 31, 2025. On February 3, 2025, the Agreement was further amended to provide up to an additional $200 million of financing from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026 for our sales and marketing growth efforts. In addition, the Agreement was amended in April 2024, June 2024 and December 2025 to clarify certain provisions with no material changes to terms and conditions. The Agreement, as amended and restated (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”) contains standard customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties, and will continue in effect unless terminated by any party pursuant to its terms.

Previous wording

Seasonal patterns can impact both our rate of customer acquisition and the incurrence of claims and losses. Based on historical experience, existing and potential customers move more frequently in the third quarter, compared to the rest of the calendar year. As a result, we may see greater demand for new or expanded insurance coverage, and increased online engagement resulting in proportionately more growth during the third quarter. We expect that as we grow our customers, expand geographically, and launch new products, the impact of seasonal variability on our rate of growth may decrease.

Previous wording

Changing U.S. and global economic conditions, including the potential impact from evolving tariff policy and capital market volatility, may impact our business. In particular, the effects of inflation, if any, could impact our claims costs, product pricing and investment yield, among other impacts. The actual effects of the current and potential future impact on our results remains to be unknown and cannot be estimated with precision.

Current wording

Changing U.S. and global economic conditions may impact our business. Evolving U.S. trade policy, including tariffs imposed on imported goods in 2025, could affect our claims costs. In February 2026, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") to impose tariffs was not authorized by Congress, invalidating a significant portion of tariffs that had been in effect since April 2025. While the ruling struck down the IEEPA-based tariffs, it does not prevent the administration from imposing tariffs using other legal authorities. Following the ruling, the administration invoked alternative statutory authorities imposing a global tariff, and the administration has indicated its intention to continue to pursue alternative statutory mechanisms to reinstate or impose new tariffs. Tariffs on building materials may increase home repair costs, tariffs on automotive parts may increase vehicle repair and replacement costs, and tariffs on consumer goods may increase the cost of replacing covered personal property. To the extent tariff-driven cost increases are sustained, we may seek premium rate adjustments, subject to regulatory approval in applicable states; however, there may be a lag between when we experience increased claims costs and when we are able to implement corresponding rate increases, which could negatively impact our loss ratios in the interim. More broadly, inflation, whether driven by tariffs, supply chain disruptions, labor market conditions, or other factors, if any, has impacted and could continue to impact our claims costs, product pricing and investment yield, among other impacts. Capital market volatility may also affect our investment portfolio and access to capital. The actual effects of these macroeconomic factors on our results remains unknown and cannot be estimated with precision.
