Regulatory factors could impact the value at which HOA carries contributed shares on its statutory financial statements, negatively impact HOA regulatory surplus, and require us to take additional steps to enable HOA to adhere to regulatory requirements and maintain its financial stability rating.

Current report

As a Texas domestic property and casualty insurer, HOA is subject to various regulatory requirements, including minimum surplus as regards to policyholders and requirements relating to the credit quality, liquidity and diversification of investments. The amount of surplus and investments maintained by HOA also impacts its financial stability rating. Pursuant to the contribution transactions described in Note 8 and Note 18 of the unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, a total of 18.3 million shares of common stock were contributed to HOA primarily to support its compliance with requirements under Texas law relating to surplus and to maintain its financial stability rating. The value at which the contributed shares are carried on the statutory financial statements of HOA is subject to ongoing regulatory risks, including the following:

Current report

•Valuation of the contributed shares for purposes of HOA statutory financial statements remains subject to continuing oversight by the Texas Department of Insurance (“TDI”), which may in the future require that the shares be recorded at a more steeply discounted value than TDI initially approved depending upon our results of operation and other future events, including excess losses incurred by the HOA insurance business due to severe weather events.

Current report

•Other restrictions under Texas law on the total amount HOA may invest in an affiliate such as Porch Group, Inc., which could limit the portion of the contributed shares’ value that can be included as admitted assets on its statutory financial statements.

Current report

These and other regulatory factors beyond our control or that we have not anticipated could negatively impact the value at which the contributed shares are recorded on the selling stockholder’s statutory financial statements in future filings with TDI, which could negatively impact the selling stockholder’s surplus position and its Demotech, Inc. financial stability rating. In such event, our strategy to bolster the selling stockholder’s surplus through the contribution of shares may prove ineffective, and we may need to contribute cash or other admitted assets or take other steps to enable the selling stockholder to adhere to Texas regulatory requirements, including as to surplus, and to maintain its financial stability rating. Our ability to effectively maintain the selling stockholder’s surplus position due to these factors will be subject to numerous risks, such as whether we have sufficient cash or other assets that would count as admitted assets of the selling stockholder under Texas insurance law available for additional contributions to the selling stockholder or the availability of additional debt or equity financing in the event that we do not. The availability of additional debt or equity financing is subject to numerous risks, including the trading price of our common stock at such time, other market conditions, and restrictions under the indentures governing our outstanding convertible senior notes on the incurrence of additional indebtedness.

Current report

A sustained decline in the price of our common stock would negatively impact HOA regulatory surplus, which may require us to contribute additional funds or shares to enable HOA to adhere to regulatory requirements and maintain its financial stability rating.

Current report

The shares of our common stock held by HOA represent a significant portion of its surplus as regards to policyholders. The value at which HOA carries these shares for regulatory financial reporting purposes will fluctuate over time with changes in the trading price of our common stock. A decline in the trading price of our common stock (whether sustained or temporary but at quarter end) would negatively impact the amount of surplus that HOA reports on its statutory financial statements. It is possible that this could require us to contribute additional funds to enable HOA to adhere to regulatory requirements relating to surplus and to maintain its financial stability rating. In such case, if we do not have sufficient cash resources on hand to fund needed contributions, we may need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings or contribute additional shares of our common stock instead. Additional equity financings could result in significant additional dilution to existing stockholders, and we face significant restrictions on our ability to obtain additional debt financing due to the restrictive covenants under the indentures governing our outstanding convertible senior notes. As a result of these and other factors, additional capital may not be available on terms that are acceptable, if at all, which, if acceptable to TDI, could require us to contribute additional shares of our common stock to HOA to enable it to remain in compliance with regulatory requirements and maintain its financial stability rating, which could be delayed if such additional contribution were subject to shareholder approval under applicable Nasdaq listing rules. The contribution of additional shares of common stock to HOA and the possibility that HOA may sell such additional shares could cause the price of our common stock to decline and make it more difficult for us to raise funds through the sale of equity.

Current report

Future sales of our common stock by HOA could cause our stock price to decline and be dilutive.

Current report

Although HOA holds the shares of common stock described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily to strengthen its surplus position and maintain its financial stability rating, HOA may sell all or a portion of the shares from time to time in the future as it may deem necessary or appropriate to support the needs of its business, including, for example, to generate additional cash to pay claims and expenses, to improve liquidity and asset diversification, to otherwise meet applicable regulatory requirements and maintain its financial stability rating, or to finance the acquisition of new business. In addition, HOA could be forced to sell shares if insurance regulatory authorities disallow the shares to be recorded as admitted assets on its statutory financial statements or require the shares to be recorded at a greater discount than initially approved by TDI. Additionally, if HOA is placed under receivership by TDI, the receiver may sell shares in connection with the liquidation or rehabilitation of HOA. The timing and amount of any such sales, and the offering price and proceeds thereof, cannot be predicted as of the date of this prospectus. Market conditions, the method of distribution and other factors could make it difficult for the selling shareholder to sell shares when necessary to meet underlying needs or objectives. The sale of shares of our common stock by HOA in the public market, or the perception by the market that those sales could occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Such sales, or the possibility that such sales may occur, also could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through the sale of equity in the future. Once shares are sold by HOA to unrelated parties, they will no longer be treated as treasury shares for financial reporting purposes, may be dilutive to earnings per share, will be entitled to vote and will count for quorum purposes.
