The number of shares of the equity consideration will be based on a $10.00 per share value for the Company’s Class A common stock.

Redemption Offer

 

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will be providing its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the closing of the Transactions, their shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Transactions in the Company’s trust account (which holds the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), less taxes payable (the “Redemption Offer”).

 

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

 

Each of the Company, Merger Sub and Metromile have made representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement that are customary for transactions of this nature. The representations and warranties of the Company, Merger Sub and Metromile will not survive the closing of the Transactions.

Termination

 

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the consummation of the Transactions (whether before or after the required Company stockholder vote has been obtained) by mutual written consent of the Company and Metromile and in certain other limited circumstances, including if the Transactions have not been consummated by May 1, 2021.

 

The Company may also terminate the Merger Agreement if Metromile does not deliver to the Company (i) within 10 business days following the date of the Merger Agreement, Stockholder Support Agreements (as defined below) from a sufficient number of the Metromile stockholders constituting requisite consent in support of the Merger, or (ii) within 15 business days following the date of the Merger Agreement, the consolidated financial statements of Metromile and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019, audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, together with the auditor’s signed opinion on such financial statements.

 

If the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, no party thereto will have any liability or any further obligation to any other party under the Merger Agreement, with certain limited exceptions, including liability for any intentional and willful breach of the Merger Agreement.

 

The Merger Agreement has been approved by the Company’s board of directors, and the board has recommended that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Transactions.

 

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. The Company does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

 

This description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Additional Agreements

 

In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, a number of additional agreements were entered into, or agreed to be entered into as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

At the closing, Parent will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain stockholders of the Company and certain former stockholders of Metromile with respect to the shares of Company’s Class A common stock that will be issued and outstanding following the Transactions. The Registration Rights Agreement will require the Company to, among other things, file a resale shelf registration statement on behalf of such stockholders promptly after the closing of the Transactions. The Registration Rights Agreement will also provide certain demand rights and piggyback rights to such stockholders, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks and issuer blackout periods. The Company will agree to pay certain fees and expenses relating to registrations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

This description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Sponsor Share Cancellation Agreement also provides that, concurrent with and contingent upon the Closing, the Sponsors will forfeit a portion of their founder shares for no consideration and restructure a majority of their remaining founder shares (which shares will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at the Closing), to be subject to vesting conditions based on certain closing share price thresholds of the Company’s common stock for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days.

These statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and may also relate to the Company’s or Metromile’s future prospects, developments and business strategies. In particular, such forward-looking statements include statements concerning the timing of the Transactions; the business plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of the public company once the transaction is complete, and Metromile’s estimated and future results of operations, business strategies, competitive position, industry environment and potential growth opportunities.

5

 

 

Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside the Company’s or Metromile’s control that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors include, but are not limited to, (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of the Company or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (3) the ability of the public entity to meet Nasdaq’s listing standards following the Transactions; (4) the inability to complete the PIPE Investment; (5) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of Metromile as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with suppliers and agents and retain its management and key employees; (7) costs related to the proposed business combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations and delays in obtaining, adverse conditions contained in, or the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals required to complete the business combination; (9) the possibility that Metromile may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory and/or competitive factors; (10) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company, Metromile or any of their respective directors or officers, following the announcement of the potential transaction; and (11) the failure to realize anticipated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated stockholder redemptions. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements can be found in the Company’s final prospectus for its initial public offering, subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, which are available, free of charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and will also be provided in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and the Company’s proxy statement/prospectus when available. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and the Company and Metromile undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in the Company and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in the Company. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company and Metromile, the proposed transaction or other matters and attributable to the Company and Metromile or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

 

Disclaimer

 

This communication shall neither constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

The Company shall be the surviving entity in the Merger and shall continue to exist as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Entity”). The Merger shall have the effects specified in the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed to pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest and continue in the Surviving Entity, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Entity.

 

Section 2.2 Certificate of Merger; Closing.

 

(a) Closing. In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall be held remotely by electronic exchange of deliverables and release of signatures on the date which is two (2) Business Days after the first date on which all conditions set forth in Article VI shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof) or such other time and place as Parent and the Company may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

 

(b) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VI of this Agreement, and provided this Agreement has not theretofore been terminated pursuant to its terms, the parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and shall make or cause to be made all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time when the Certificate of Merger has been accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as may be agreed by Parent and the Company in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

 

Section 2.3 Organizational Documents; Name of Surviving Entity. The corporate bylaws and certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit E, as amended pursuant to the Certificate of Merger, shall be the corporate bylaws and certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Entity and shall continue in full force and effect until further amended in the manner prescribed therein or by the provisions of the DGCL, except that the name of the corporation set forth therein shall be changed to “Metromile Operating Company.”

 

Section 2.4 Directors and Officers.

 

(a) The parties shall take all actions necessary such that the board of directors of the Surviving Entity and the officers of the Surviving Entity as of immediately following the Effective Time shall be comprised of the individuals set forth on Section 2.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedules, each to hold office in accordance with the DGCL and the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Entity until their respective successors are, in the case of the directors, duly elected or appointed and qualified and, in the case of the officers, duly appointed.

 

18

 

 

(b) The parties shall cause the Parent Board and the officers of Parent as of immediately following the Effective Time to be comprised of the individuals set forth on Section 2.4(b) of the Disclosure Schedules, each to hold office in accordance with the DGCL and the Organizational Documents of Parent until their respective successors are, in the case of the directors, duly elected or appointed and qualified and, in the case of the officers, duly appointed.

 

Section 2.5 Effect of Merger.

 

(a) The Company shall take all actions necessary to cause each Company Preferred Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to be automatically converted immediately prior to the Effective Time into a number of Company Common Shares at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Organizational Documents of the Company (the “Company Preferred Stock Conversion”). All of the Company Preferred Shares converted into Company Common Shares shall be canceled, shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto, and each holder of Company Preferred Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities.

 

(b) At the Effective Time (and, for the avoidance of doubt, following the Company Preferred Stock Conversion), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Stockholders, each Company Common Share (including Company Common Shares resulting from the Company Preferred Stock Conversion) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares, Treasury Shares and other shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.5(e)) shall be converted into the right to receive the following:

 

(i) if the calculation of the Cash Consideration results in a positive number (the “Minimum Cash Election Condition”) and the holder of such Company Common Share makes a proper and timely election in accordance with Section 2.6 to receive cash with respect to such Company Common Share (a “Cash Election”), which election has not been revoked pursuant to Section 2.6 (each such share, a “Cash Electing Share”), in an amount in cash for such Cash Electing Share, without interest, equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration Value (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”), except that if (x) the sum of the aggregate number of Dissenting Shares and the aggregate number of Cash Electing Shares, multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration Value (such product, the “Aggregate Cash Election Amount”) exceeds the available Cash Consideration, then each Cash Electing Share shall be converted into the right to receive (A) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (1) the Per Share Merger Consideration Value and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Cash Consideration and the denominator of which shall be the Aggregate Cash Election Amount (such fraction, the “Cash Fraction”) and (B) a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the Per Share Stock Consideration and (2) one minus the Cash Fraction; and

 

19

 

 

(ii) if the holder of such share makes a proper election to receive shares of Parent Common Stock (a “Stock Election”) with respect to such Company Common Share, which election has not been revoked pursuant to Section 2.6, the holder of such share fails to make a Cash Election or Stock Election with respect to such share in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.6, or if the Minimum Cash Election Condition is not satisfied, the applicable Per Share Stock Consideration.

 

(c) Each of the Company Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for Dissenting Shares, Treasury Shares and other shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.5(e), but, for the avoidance of doubt, including the Company Common Shares resulting from the Company Preferred Stock Conversion), shall, by virtue of the Merger and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.5 and throughout this Agreement, be canceled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive its allocable portion of the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration as provided for in Section 2.5(b) and in the Merger Payment Schedule, and each of the Stockholders shall cease to have any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, no certificates or scrip representing a fractional share of Parent Common Stock will be issued to any of the Stockholders in connection with payment of the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration, and to the extent a fractional share of Parent Common Stock is issuable as part of the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such Stockholder, such fraction shall be rounded up to one whole share of Parent Common Stock.

 

(d) Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Entity.

 

(e) Each Company Share owned by any Subsidiary of the Company and each Treasury Share shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

 

Section 2.6 Consideration Election Procedure.

 

(a) On or prior to the Election Date, each Stockholder (i) entitled to receive consideration pursuant to Section 2.5(b) and (ii) who was a Stockholder on the date of the delivery of the Company’s Written Consent solicitation, shall be entitled to specify the number of such holder’s Company Shares with respect to which such holder makes a Cash Election or a Stock Election by complying with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.6. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth herein, each Cash Election or Stock Election made pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be deemed to be made with respect to each applicable Stockholder on an “as-converted” to Company Common Shares basis.

 

20

 

 

(b) Not less than twenty (20) days prior to the Election Date, the Company shall mail or otherwise deliver a form of election (the “Form of Election”) to each holder of record (as of such mailing) of Company Shares. Each Stockholder entitled to receive consideration pursuant to Section 2.5(b) shall use the Form of Election to make a Cash Election or a Stock Election. In the event that any such Stockholder fails to make a Cash Election or a Stock Election with respect to any or all Company Shares held or beneficially owned by such holder, then such holder shall be automatically deemed to have made a Stock Election with respect to those shares.

 

(c) Any applicable Stockholder’s election pursuant to the Form of Election will be deemed properly made only if the Company or its designated agent has received at its designated office, by 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the business day that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the Closing Date or such other date as Parent and the Company will, prior to the Closing, mutually agree (the “Election Date”), a Form of Election duly, completely and validly executed and accompanied by (i) Certificates to which such Form of Election relates or (ii) in the case such shares are uncertificated, any additional documents required by the procedures set forth in the Form of Election, and in each case, together with any additional documents required by the procedures set forth in the Form of Election.

 

(d) Any election made pursuant to this Section 2.6 will have been properly made only if the Company will have actually received a properly completed Form of Election prior to the Election Date. Any Form of Election may be revoked or changed by the person submitting it, by written notice received by the Company prior to the Election Date. In the event a Form of Election is validly revoked prior to the Election Date, the holder of the Company Shares represented by such Form of Election shall be deemed to have made a Stock Election with respect to those shares, except to the extent a subsequent election is properly made prior to the Election Date. Any Cash Election or Stock Election as of the Election Date is final and irrevocable, unless (i) otherwise consented to in writing by the Company (which such consent may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be provided or denied), or (ii) this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article VII, in which case all Cash Elections and Stock Elections shall automatically be revoked concurrently with the termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the application of any other transfer restrictions that may otherwise exist, after a Cash Election or a Stock Election is validly made or deemed to be made with respect to any Company Common Shares (or Company Preferred Shares on an “as-converted” to Company Common Share basis), no further registration of transfers of such shares shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Company until the Closing, unless and until such Cash Election or Stock Election is validly revoked in accordance with this Section 2.6.

 

(e) The determination of the Company shall be final, conclusive and binding in the event of ambiguity or uncertainty as to whether or not a Cash Election or a Stock Election has been properly made or revoked pursuant to this Section 2.6. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in a Form of Election.

 

21

 

 

Section 2.7 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 2.6, Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such Company Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such Company Shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such Company Shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only receive payment of the appraised value of such Company Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Company Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.7, without interest thereon. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Company Shares, any written withdrawal of any such demand and any other written demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

 

Section 2.8 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or anyone acting on their behalf shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the payment of any Aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of any such payment under any applicable tax Law. Any sum which is withheld as permitted by this Section 2.8 shall be timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid to the proper Governmental Authority pursuant to any applicable tax Law, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

 

Section 2.9 Treatment of Options.

 

(a) Vested Company Options. As of the Effective Time, all Vested Company Options shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of any Company Optionholder or beneficiary thereof, be converted into a number of vested restricted stock units denominated in shares of Parent Common Stock (“Parent Vested RSUs”). The number of Parent Vested RSUs received by a holder of Vested Company Options shall equal such holder’s Aggregate Option Spread divided by the Reference Price, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The “Aggregate Option Spread” shall equal the product of (A) the excess, if any, of (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration Value over (ii) the exercise price per Company Common Share subject to such Vested Company Option, multiplied by (B) the number of Company Common Shares subject to such Vested Company Option. The Parent Vested RSUs shall be granted as soon as practicable following effective registration of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan on a Form S-8 registration statement (or other appropriate form). Each Parent Vested RSU shall entitle the holder thereof to receive one share of Parent Common Stock that shall be delivered, subject to any applicable tax or withholding obligations, as soon as practicable following the expiration of any applicable Lock-Up Agreement(s), but in no event later than December 31, 2021.

 

22

 

  

(b) Unvested Company Options. At the Effective Time, all Unvested Company Options shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of any Company Optionholder or beneficiary thereof, be converted into an option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (each, a “Converted Option”). For each Converted Option, (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Converted Option shall equal the product of (A) the total number of Company Common Shares subject to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Per Share Stock Consideration (rounded down to the nearest whole share), and (ii) the exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock shall equal the quotient (with the result rounded up to the nearest whole cent) of (A) the exercise price per Company Common Share of such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Per Share Stock Consideration; provided, however that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Converted Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A; provided further that in the case of any Unvested Company Option to which Code Section 422 applies, the exercise price and the number of shares Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 424(a). Except as expressly provided in the foregoing sentence, each such Converted Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, including the applicable vesting schedule, as applied to the corresponding Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Converted Options shall be granted as soon as practicable following effective registration of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan on a Form S-8 registration statement (or other appropriate form).

 

Section 2.10 Company Warrants. Immediately prior to and conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger, each Company Warrant shall either (a) automatically, and without any required action on the part of the holder of the Company Warrant or beneficiary thereof or (b) at the election of the holder of such Company Warrant, be exercised into a number of Company Shares in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement amendment applicable to such Company Warrant (each, a “Warrant Agreement Amendment”) and the information set forth in the Merger Payment Schedule. The Company Warrants converted into Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and the holder of each Company Warrant shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities and become a Stockholder for all purposes of this Agreement.

Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.11, each Certificate entitled to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration or the Per Share Cash Consideration, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.5 shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Stock Consideration or the Per Share Cash Consideration, as applicable, that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5.

 

(c) Adjustments. The Per Share Stock Consideration and the Per Share Cash Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(a) For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall not take any action to waive, eliminate or amend in an adverse manner to Company Indemnified Persons any rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and limitation of liability now existing in favor of any individual who, at or prior to the Effective Time, was a director, officer, employee or agent of a Company Entity or who, at the request of a Company Entity, served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (collectively, with such individual’s heirs, executors or administrators, the “Company Indemnified Persons”).

 

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall obtain, in consultation with Parent, a post-merger officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy with a claims period of six (6) years from the Effective Time which shall include coverage for claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the Transactions) (the “Company Post-Merger D&O Policy”).

68

 

 

(c) For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall not take any action to waive, eliminate or amend in an adverse manner to Parent Indemnified Persons any rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and limitation of liability now existing in favor of any individual who, at or prior to the Effective Time, was a director, officer, employee or agent of Parent (collectively, with such individual’s heirs, executors or administrators, the “Parent Indemnified Persons”). Prior to the Closing, Parent shall obtain a “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy with a claims period of six (6) years from the Effective Time with at least the same coverage and amount and containing terms and conditions that are, in the aggregate, not less advantageous to the directors and officers of Parent as Parent’s existing policies with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the Transactions).

 

(d) This Section 5.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger, is intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Person and each Parent Indemnified Person, and their respective successors, heirs and representatives.

 

Section 5.8 Proxy Statement; Parent Stockholders’ Meeting.

 

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Parent shall prepare and file (i) a registration statement (as such filing is amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”), including a proxy statement of Parent, on Form S-4 with the SEC (as such filing is amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”), for the purposes of (A) registering under the Securities Act the Stock Consideration and the Additional Shares (together, the “Registration Shares”), (B) providing Parent’s stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger, and (C) soliciting proxies from Parent’s stockholders to obtain the requisite approval of the Transactions and the other matters to be voted on at a meeting of the holders of Parent Common Stock to be called and held for such purpose (the “Parent Stockholders’ Meeting”). As promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall prepare and file any other filings required under the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or any other Laws relating to the Transactions (collectively, the “Other Filings”). Parent shall notify the Company promptly upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff or any other Governmental Authority for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement, or any Other Filing or for additional information. As promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, Parent shall provide the Company and its counsel with copies of all written correspondence between Parent or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, or its staff or other government officials, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement, or any Other Filing. Parent shall permit the Company and its counsel to review the Proxy Statement, and any exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto, as well as any Other Filings, and shall consult with the Company and its advisors concerning any comments from the SEC with respect thereto; provided, further that Parent shall reasonably consider and take into account the reasonable suggestions, comments or opinions of the Company and its advisors, and shall not file the Proxy Statement, or any exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto or any response letters to any comments from the SEC without the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Parent shall be permitted to make such filing or response in the absence of such consent if the basis of the Company’s failure to consent is the Company’s unwillingness to permit the inclusion in such filing or response of information that, based on the advice of outside counsel to Parent, is required by the SEC and United States securities Laws to be included therein. Whenever any event occurs which would reasonably be expected to result in the Proxy Statement containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other party hereto of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the SEC or its staff or any other government officials, and/or mailing to stockholders of Parent, an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement.

Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Proxy Statement does not, as of the date on which it is distributed to the holders of Parent Common Stock, and as of the date of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that Parent shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information relating to the Company or any other information furnished in writing by the Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement).

 

(i) Parent may only adjourn the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting (i) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval, for the absence of a quorum and (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that Parent has determined after consultation with outside legal counsel is required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by Parent’s stockholders prior to the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting.

Section 5.10 Trust Account.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Company acknowledges that it has received a copy of Parent’s final prospectus dated September 2, 2020 (the “Prospectus”) and understands that Parent has established the Trust Account and that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (i) to the “public stockholders” (as defined in the Prospectus) in the event they elect to redeem their public shares in connection with the consummation of a “business combination” (as defined in the Prospectus), (ii) to such public stockholders if Parent liquidates or fails to consummate such a business combination within eighteen (18) months from the closing date of Parent’s initial public offering (unless such date is extended with the requisite approval of such public stockholders) or (iii) to Parent after or concurrently with the consummation of such a business combination. The Company hereby agrees, on behalf of the Company, its Subsidiaries, and their respective Representatives, that the Company and its Representatives do not have (other than their rights upon Closing) any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account (each, a “Claim”) and hereby waive any Claim prior to Closing they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Parent and will not prior to Closing seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever; provided that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s and its Representatives’ right to pursue a claim against Parent for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief (including a claim for Parent to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and a claim for Parent to specifically perform its obligations under the Trust Agreement, including distribution of funds from the Trust Account upon the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company or its Representatives may have in the future against Parent’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds). This Section 5.10(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and will not expire and may not be altered in any way prior to the Closing without the express written consent of Parent.

 

(b) Parent covenants that it shall make appropriate arrangements to cause the funds in the Trust Account to be disbursed in accordance with the Trust Agreement and for the payment of (i) the redemption of any shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Offer in accordance with the terms set forth in the Proxy Statement; (ii) the payment of Transaction Expenses, (iii) the repayment of Repaid Indebtedness and (iv) the remaining monies in the Trust Account to Parent.

Parent shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, or any replacements or terminations of, the agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) between Parent and the investors party to the Subscription Agreements (the “PIPE Investors”) for the PIPE Investment in any manner other than (i) as expressly provided for by the terms of the Subscription Agreements or (ii) to reflect any permitted assignments or transfers of the Subscription Agreements by the applicable PIPE Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the parties acknowledge that any proposed amendment, modification or waiver of the Subscription Agreements that affects the offering price of the Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreements may be rejected by the Company in its sole discretion). Each Subscription Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of (x) Parent and, (y) to Parent’s Knowledge, each PIPE Investor party thereto, in each case, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, and neither the execution or delivery of such Subscription Agreement by Parent nor the performance by Parent of its obligations under any such Subscription Agreement violates or conflicts with any applicable Laws or Parent Organizational Documents. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements on the terms and conditions described therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall give the Company prompt (and, in any event within three (3) Business Days) written notice: (A) of any proposed amendment to any Subscription Agreement; (B) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Subscription Agreement known to Parent; and (C) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any Subscription Agreement with respect to any actual, potential or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Subscription Agreement or any provisions of any Subscription Agreement.

This Section 8.16 shall be binding on all successors and assigns of parties hereto.

 

Section 8.17 Disclosure Letters and Exhibits.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Sponsors collectively are the holders of record and the “beneficial owners” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of (i) 452,500 shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Sponsor Existing Co-Invest Shares”), (ii) private placement warrants to purchase 150,833 shares of Parent Common Stock and (iii) 7,846,667 shares of Parent Class B Common Stock (the “Sponsor Promote Shares” and together with the Sponsor Existing Co-Invest Shares, the “Sponsor Shares”) in the aggregate;

 

WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, INSU II Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and MetroMile, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, whereby the parties intend to effect a business combination between Parent and the Company through the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (collectively, the “Transactions”);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Parent Certificate of Incorporation, each Sponsor Promote Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into, and the holder of such Sponsor Promote Share shall be entitled to receive, one share of Parent Common Stock for such Sponsor Promote Share on the terms and conditions set forth therein;

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transactions, immediately prior to and contingent upon the Closing, a portion of the Sponsor Promote Shares will be cancelled as further specified in this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, as an inducement to the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, the parties hereto desire to agree to certain matters as set forth herein.

 

 

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

Article I

FORFEITURE;
SHARE ADJUSTMENTS

 

1.1 Forfeited Shares.

  

(a) Immediately prior to and contingent upon the Closing, each Sponsor shall irrevocably forfeit and surrender for cancellation to Parent, a number of Sponsor Promote Shares set forth opposite such Sponsor’s name on Schedule I hereto (the “Forfeited Shares“), which Forfeited Shares shall be deemed automatically cancelled and retired in full, in each case for no consideration (the “Forfeiture”).

 

(b) Parent shall immediately retire and cancel all of the Forfeited Shares (and shall direct Parent’s transfer agent (or such other intermediaries as appropriate) to take any and all such actions incident thereto); and

 

(c) The Sponsors and Parent each shall (i) take such actions as are necessary to cause the Forfeited Shares to be retired and cancelled, after which the Forfeited Shares shall no longer be issued or outstanding and (ii) provide Parent with evidence that such retirement and cancellation has occurred.

 

1.2 Earnout Shares.

 

(a) Immediately prior to and contingent upon the Closing, a number of Sponsor Promote Shares set forth opposite each Sponsor’s name on Schedule I hereto (assuming no stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event occurs between the date hereof and the Closing) shall immediately become subject to the vesting provisions set forth in Section 1.2(b) (such shares, the “Earnout Shares”) (it being understood that such Earnout Shares shall no longer be subject to the vesting provisions of the Letter Agreement (as defined below)). Earnout Shares shall continue to be Earnout Shares if held by any permitted transferee of Earnout Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed that any shares of Parent Common Stock held by the Sponsors that are not Earnout Shares shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 1.2.

 

(b) Vesting Provisions of the Earnout Shares.

 

(i) Fifty percent (50.00%) of the Earnout Shares held by each Sponsor shall vest in full at such time as the Parent Common Share Price is greater than $15.00 per share for any period of 20 trading days out of 30 consecutive trading days. “Parent Common Share Price” means, on any date after the Closing, the closing sale price per share of Parent Common Stock reported as of 4:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such date by Bloomberg, or if not available on Bloomberg, as reported by Morningstar.

 

(ii)  Fifty percent (50.00%) of the Earnout Shares held by each Sponsor shall vest in full at such time as the Parent Common Share Price is greater than $17.00 per share for any period of 20 trading days out of 30 consecutive trading days.

 

2

 

 

(iii) Each Sponsor shall be entitled to vote its Earnout Shares and receive dividends and other distributions with respect to such Earnout Shares while they remain unvested; provided that any dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such unvested Earnout Shares shall be set aside by Parent and shall be paid to each Sponsor upon the vesting of such Earnout Shares (if at all).

 

(c) Acceleration of Vesting upon a Liquidation Event. In the event of a Liquidation Event following the Closing, Earnout Shares (other than any Earnout Shares that vested prior to such time pursuant to Section 1.2) shall vest in full upon the occurrence of such Liquidation Event. “Liquidation Event” means a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction involving Parent upon the consummation of which holders of Parent Common Stock would be entitled to exchange their shares of Parent Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

 

(d) Equitable Adjustment. If, between the Closing and a Liquidation Event, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar transaction affecting the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock, then any number, value (including dollar value) or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of shares of Parent Common Stock will be equitably adjusted for such dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar transaction. Any adjustment under this Section 1.2(d) shall become effective at the close of business on the date any such dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar transaction becomes effective.

 

(e) Transfers. No holder of Earnout Shares shall transfer any Earnout Shares to the extent such Earnout Shares are still subject to restrictions at the time of the contemplated transfer and all certificates representing such Earnout Shares shall contain a legend to such effect; provided, that Earnout Shares may be transferred to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in that certain letter agreement, dated as of September 2, 2020, as may be amended or restated from time to time, by and among Parent, Insurance Acquisition Sponsor II, LLC, Dioptra Advisors, LLC, and the insiders listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Letter Agreement”)) of a Sponsor so long as such Permitted Transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the provisions of Article II hereof.

WHEREAS, as an inducement to Parent and the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, the parties hereto desire to agree to certain matters as set forth herein.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

 

 

 

ARTICLE 1

STOCKHOLDER SUPPORT AGREEMENT; COVENANTS

 

1.1 Transfer of Shares. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time, and (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Merger Agreement (the “Expiration Time”), each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, agrees that it shall not (i) sell, assign, offer, exchange, transfer (including by operation of law), pledge, dispose of, permit to exist any material lien with respect to, or otherwise encumber any of the Subject Shares or otherwise agree or commit to do any of the foregoing, except for a sale, assignment or transfer pursuant to the Merger Agreement or to another stockholder of the Company that is a party to this Agreement and bound by the terms and obligations hereof, (ii) deposit any Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement or (iii) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer (including by operation of law) or other disposition of any Subject Shares; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the transfer of the Subject Shares (A) if Stockholder is an individual (1) to any member of such Stockholder’s immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit of Stockholder or any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, the sole trustees of which are such Stockholder or any member of such Stockholder’s immediate family or (2) by will, other testamentary document, under the laws of intestacy or by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon the death of Stockholder; or (B) if Stockholder is an entity, a partner, member, or affiliate of Stockholder, but only if, in the case of clause (A) and (B), such transferee shall concurrently execute this Agreement or a joinder agreeing to become a party to this Agreement. Any attempted transfer of Subject Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 1.1 shall be null and void.

 

1.2 New Shares. In the event that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending at the Expiration Time, (a) any Subject Shares are issued to a Stockholder after the date of this Agreement pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of Subject Shares or otherwise, (b) a Stockholder purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any Subject Shares or (c) a Stockholder acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any Subject Shares (collectively the “New Securities”), then such New Securities acquired or purchased by such Stockholder shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Subject Shares owned by such Stockholder as of the date hereof.

 

1.3 Agreement to Vote. Hereinafter until the Expiration Time, each Stockholder, with respect to its, his or her Subject Shares, severally and not jointly, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of the Company requested by the Company Board (which written consent shall be delivered promptly, and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours, after (x) the Registration Statement has been declared effective, and (y) the Company requests such delivery), such Stockholder shall, if a meeting is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause its, his or her Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and such Stockholder shall vote or provide consent (or cause to be voted or consented), in person or by proxy, all of its, his or her Subject Shares:

(c) against and withhold consent with respect to any issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock or other equity securities of any Company Entity, merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or other business combination transaction involving any of the Company Entities (other than the Merger Agreement and the Transactions); and

Each Stockholder hereby agrees that it shall not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Stockholder shall not vote or provide consent with respect to any of its, his or her Subject Shares to the extent Stockholder is not a director, officer or affiliate of the Company or holder of Subject Shares representing greater than 5% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, or take any other action, in each case to the extent any such vote, consent or other action would preclude Parent from filing with the SEC the Registration Statement on Form S-4 as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

1.4 No Challenges. Each Stockholder agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors or directors (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into the Merger Agreement.

Whereas, as an inducement to Parent and the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, the parties hereto desire to agree to certain matters as set forth herein.

 

 

 

AGREEMENT

 

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

Article 1

VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT; COVENANTS

 

1.1 Binding Effect of Merger Agreement. Each Stockholder hereby acknowledges that it has read the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and has had the opportunity to consult with its tax and legal advisors. Each Stockholder shall be bound by and comply with Sections 5.12 (Exclusivity) and 5.5 (Public Announcements) of the Merger Agreement (and any relevant definitions contained in any such Sections) as if such Stockholder was an original signatory to the Merger Agreement with respect to such provisions.

 

1.2 No Transfer. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 7.1 thereof (the earlier of (a) and (b), the “Expiration Time”) and (c) the liquidation of Parent, each Stockholder shall not (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the SEC with respect to Parent (other than the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement) or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any Subject Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Subject Shares or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii); (any of the actions described in clauses (i) - (iii), a "Transfer"); provided, that Subject Shares may be Transferred to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Letter Agreement) of a Stockholder so long as such Permitted Transferee executes and delivers a joinder to this Agreement agreeing to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Stockholder.

 

1.3 New Shares.

2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders. Each Stockholder represents and warrants as of the date hereof to Parent and the Company (solely with respect to itself, himself or herself and not with respect to any other Stockholder) as follows:

 

(a) Organization; Due Authorization. If such Stockholder is not an individual, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, formed, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Stockholder’s corporate, limited liability company or organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or organizational actions on the part of such Stockholder. If such Stockholder is an individual, such Stockholder has full legal capacity, right and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy Laws, other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies). If this Agreement is being executed in a representative or fiduciary capacity, the Person signing this Agreement has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the applicable Stockholder.

 

(b) Ownership. Such Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in the Securities Act) of, and has good title to, all of such Subject Shares, and there exist no Encumbrances or any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such Subject Shares (other than transfer restrictions under the Securities Act)) affecting any such Subject Shares, other than Encumbrances pursuant to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Parent Organizational Documents, (iii) the Merger Agreement, (iv) the Letter Agreement or (v) any applicable securities Laws. Such Subject Shares are the only equity securities in Parent owned of record or beneficially by such Stockholder on the date of this Agreement, and none of such Subject Shares are subject to any proxy, voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of such Subject Shares, except as provided hereunder and under the Letter Agreement. Other than the Subject Shares, such Stockholder does not hold or own any rights to acquire (directly or indirectly) any equity securities of Parent or any equity securities convertible into, or which can be exchanged for, equity securities of Parent.

 

4

 

 

(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the performance by such Stockholder of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, (i) if such Stockholder is not an individual, conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Stockholder or (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon such Stockholder or such Subject Shares), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Stockholder of its, his or her obligations under this Agreement.

 

(d) Litigation. There are no Legal Proceedings pending against such Stockholder, or to the knowledge of such Stockholder threatened against such Stockholder, before (or, in the case of threatened Legal Proceedings, that would be before) any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Stockholder of its, his or her obligations under this Agreement.

 

(e) Brokerage Fees. Except as described on Section 4.5 of the Disclosure Schedules, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any fee or other commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by such Stockholder, for which Parent or Merger Sub may become liable.

 

(f) Acknowledgment. Such Stockholder understands and acknowledges that each of Parent and the Company is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

In this Letter Agreement, the shares of Common Stock to be held by the Stockholders immediately after the effective time of the Merger are referred to as the “Shares”.

 

For the purposes of this Letter Agreement, the term “Shares” shall also be deemed to include any Shares that a Stockholder acquires (i) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2 hereof and (ii) by the exercise or conversion of any security exercisable or convertible for shares of Common Stock.

Subject to Section 1(b) below, from the effective time of the Merger until the six month anniversary of such effective time (the “Lock-Up Period”), such Stockholder shall not (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to the Shares (a “Transfer”), (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in the immediately preceding subsections (i) or (ii) (any of the foregoing actions in clauses (i)-(iii), the “Transfer Restrictions”).

 

 

 

 

2. Notwithstanding the provisions contained in paragraph 1 hereof, such Stockholder may transfer Shares (a) to the Company’s officers and directors or their controlled “affiliates” (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or to any partner, member, investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by or under common management or control with such Stockholder or officers, directors or affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) of such Stockholder, (b) by bona fide gift, (c) to an immediate family member (as defined below), a charitable organization or a trust or other entity formed for estate planning purposes for the benefit of an immediate family member or a charitable organization, or for the indirect benefit of the Stockholder or an immediate family member of the Stockholder, (d) by will, intestacy or by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon the death of such Stockholder, (e) by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or in connection with a divorce settlement, (f) if such Stockholder is an entity, to any stockholder, member, partner or trust beneficiary as part of a distribution, or to any corporation, partnership or other entity that is an affiliate of such Stockholder, or by virtue of the laws of the state of the entity’s organization and the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity, (g) in the event of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, (h) in the event of a consolidation, merger or other similar transaction in which the Company is the surviving entity that results in the directors and officers of the Company as of immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or other similar transaction ceasing to comprise a majority of the Company’s board of directors (in the case of directors) or management (in the case of officers) of the surviving entity, (i) acquired through transactions relating to Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock acquired in open market transactions after the effective time of the Merger, provided that no such transaction is required to be, or is, publicly announced (whether on Form 4, Form 5 or otherwise, other than a required filing on Schedule 13F, 13G or 13G/A) during the Lock-Up Period (j) to the Company in connection with the “net” or “cashless” exercise of options or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder, provided, that any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of such option or other rights shall remain subject to the terms of this Letter Agreement, (k) to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans or arrangements, (l) pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect at the effective time of the Merger that provides for the repurchase by the Company or forfeiture of the Stockholder’s Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock in connection with the termination of the Stockholder’s service to the Company, or (m) pursuant to the entry, by the Stockholder, at any time after the effective time of the Merger, of any trading plan providing for the sale of Common Stock by the Stockholder, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, provided, however, that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period and no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made or required regarding such plan during the Lock-Up Period, or (n) transactions to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, or local income tax obligations of the Stockholder (or its direct or indirect owners) arising from a change in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”) after the date on which the Merger Agreement was executed by the parties, and such change prevents the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368 of the Code (and the Merger does not qualify for similar tax-free treatment pursuant to any successor or other provision of the Code or Regulations taking into account such changes); provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (a) through (f), these transferees shall enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth herein. For purposes of this Letter Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage, domestic partnership or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. Such Stockholder hereby consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of such Stockholder’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

 

3. Subject to the limitations described herein, such Stockholder shall retain his, her or its respective rights as a security holder with respect to his, her or its Shares during the Lock-Up Period including, without limitation, the right to vote the Shares.

 

4. During the Lock-Up Period, all dividends and distributions payable in cash with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares shall be paid, as applicable, to such Stockholder, but all dividends and distributions payable in Common Stock or other equity or securities convertible into equity shall become subject to the Transfer Restrictions under this Letter Agreement until the end of the Lock-up Period.

 

2

 

 

5. Such Stockholder represents and warrants, severally and not jointly with any other Stockholder, that he, she or it has the full right and power, or complete corporate or equivalent organizational authority, as applicable, without violating any agreement to which such Stockholder is bound, to enter into and perform his, her or its obligations under this Letter Agreement.

 

6. This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter hereof. This Letter Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by each of the parties hereto. This Letter Agreement may not be waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by the party against whom any such waiver is sought.

 

7. No party may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of his, her or its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. Subject to the foregoing, this Letter Agreement shall be binding on each undersigned party and each of such undersigned party’s, as applicable, heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

 

8. This Letter Agreement, the rights and duties of the parties hereto, and any disputes (whether in contract, tort or statute) arising out of, under or in connection with this Letter Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Delaware state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, in any action arising out of or relating to this Letter Agreement. The parties hereto irrevocably agree that all such claims shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware federal or state court, and that such jurisdiction of such courts with respect thereto will be exclusive. Each party hereto hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Letter Agreement that it is not subject to such jurisdiction, or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Letter Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts.

 

3

 

 

9. Each party acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would not adequately compensate an injured party for the breach of this Letter Agreement by any party hereto and, accordingly, that this Letter Agreement shall be specifically enforceable, and that any breach of this Letter Agreement shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order. Further, each party hereto waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach and agrees that a party’s rights would be materially and adversely affected if the obligations of the other parties under this Letter Agreement were not carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

 

10. In the event that any provision of this Letter Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

11. This Letter Agreement and all of its provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the mutual written agreement of the Company and the Stockholders or (iii) the expiration of the Lock-up Period. This Letter Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Letter Agreement by facsimile or portable document format shall be effective as delivery of a mutually executed counterpart to this Letter Agreement.

Exhibit 10.5

 

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into on November ___, 2020, by and among INSU Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and the subscriber party set forth on the signature page hereto (“Subscriber”).

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer is concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as amended or modified, the “Merger Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement), by and among the Issuer, INSU II Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Issuer (“Merger Sub”), and MetroMile, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Metromile”), whereby the parties intend to effect the merger of Merger Sub with and into Metromile, with Metromile continuing as the surviving entity, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “Transactions”);

 

WHEREAS, to finance a portion of the Transactions, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Issuer that number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Shares”), as set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Acquired Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Purchase Price”), and the Issuer desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Acquired Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to the Issuer on or prior to the Closing (as defined below);

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer and Subscriber are executing and delivering this Subcription Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

 

WHEREAS, to finance a portion of the Transactions, certain other “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or institutional “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act), have (severally and not jointly) entered into separate subscription agreements with the Issuer (the “Other Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which such investors have agreed to purchase Class A Shares on the Closing Date at the Purchase Price; and

 

WHEREAS, the aggregate amount of Class A Shares to be sold by Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements equals 16,000,000 Class A Shares.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.  Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase, and the Issuer hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Acquired Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”). 

 

2.  Closing.

 

a.  The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transactions and shall occur immediately prior thereto. Not less than five (5) business days prior to the scheduled closing date of the Transactions (the “Closing Date”), the Issuer shall provide written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) of such Closing Date. Subscriber shall deliver to the Issuer no later than one (1) business day before the Closing Date (as specified in the Closing Notice or otherwise agreed to by the Issuer and the Subscriber) the Purchase Price for the Acquired Shares by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds (i) to the account specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice, to be held in a third-party escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) prior to the Closing Date for the benefit of the Subscriber until the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of a customary escrow agreement to be entered into by the Issuer and the escrow agent selected by the Issuer (the “Escrow Agent”) or (ii) to an account specified by the Issuer otherwise mutually agreed by the Subscriber and the Issuer (“Alternative Settlement Procedures”). On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall deliver to Subscriber (1) the Acquired Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those set forth in this Subscription Agreement or arising under state or federal securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable, and (2) a copy of the records of the Issuer’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) showing Subscriber as the owner of the Acquired Shares on and as of the Closing Date (the “Subscriber’s Deliveries”). Unless otherwise provided pursuant to Alternative Settlement Procedures, upon the transfer of the Subscriber’s Deliveries by the Issuer to the Subscriber, (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) the Escrow Agent shall release the Purchase Price from the Escrow Account to the Issuer. In the event the closing of the Transactions does not occur within five (5) business days of the Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, unless otherwise instructed by the Issuer and the Subscriber, the Escrow Agent or the Issuer, as applicable, shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled.

 

 

 

  

b.  The Closing shall be subject to the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

 

(i)  solely with respect to Subscriber, the representations and warranties made by the Issuer (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3(b), Section 3(c) and Section 3(h)) in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (other than those representations and warranties expressly made as of an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date, and other than those representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date), and the representations and warranties made by the Issuer set forth in Section 3(b), Section 3(c) and Section 3(h) shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date (other than those representations and warranties expressly made as of an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all respects as of such date), in each case without giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions;

 

(ii)  solely with respect to the Issuer, the representations and warranties made by the Subscriber in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (other than those representations and warranties expressly made as of an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date, and other than those representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date), in each case without giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions;

 

(iii)  solely with respect to Subscriber, the Issuer shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing;

 

(iv)  no governmental authority having jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any material judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement;

 

(v)  no suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares for offering or sale or trading in any jurisdiction, no suspension or removal from listing of the Acquired Shares on Nasdaq and no initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or delisting, shall have occurred;

  

(vi)  solely with respect to Subscriber, no amendment or modification of the Merger Agreement shall have occurred that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that the Subscriber would reasonably be expected to receive under this Subscription Agreement;

 

(vii) No Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have occurred between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Closing Date and be continuing; and

  

(viii)  all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement, shall have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof under the Merger Agreement (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied at the closing of the Transactions, but subject to satisfaction or waiver by such party of such conditions as of the closing of the Transactions).

 

2

 

 

c.  At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem necessary in order to consummate the Subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

 

3.  Issuer Representations and Warranties. The Issuer represents and warrants that:

b.  The Acquired Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to Subscriber against full payment for the Acquired Shares in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement and registered with the Transfer Agent, the Acquired Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or under the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

c.  This Subscription Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and, assuming that the Transaction Documents constitute the valid and binding agreement of the other parties thereto, are valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, and are enforceable against it in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

 

d.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including the issuance and sale of the Acquired Shares and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Issuer is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of the Issuer; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency, taxing authority or regulatory body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations, condition (including financial condition), stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Issuer or materially and adversely affect the validity of the Acquired Shares or the legal authority or ability of the Issuer to perform in any material respects its obligations hereunder (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

  

e.  There are no securities or instruments issued by or to which the Issuer is a party containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of (i) the Acquired Shares or (ii) the shares to be issued pursuant to any Other Subscription Agreement, that have not been or will not be validly waived on or prior to the Closing Date, including such provisions in the Issuer’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Shares”), pursuant to the terms of the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation.

 

f.  The Issuer is not in default or violation (and no event has occurred which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or violation) of any term, condition or provision of (i) the organizational documents of the Issuer, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, guarantee, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, permit, franchise or license to which, as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer’s properties or assets are bound or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency, taxing authority or regulatory body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its properties, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for defaults or violations that have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

3

 

 

g.  The Issuer is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Acquired Shares), other than (i) the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of the Registration Statement (as defined below), (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) the filings required in accordance with Section 9(r) of this Subscription Agreement; (iv) those required by the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), including with respect to obtaining approval of the Issuer’s stockholders; and (v) any filing, the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

h.  As of the date of this Subscription Agreement and as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, the authorized capital stock of the Issuer consists of (i) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) and (ii) 70,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), including (1) 60,000,000 Class A Shares and (2) 10,000,000 Class B Shares. As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, (i) no shares of Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, (ii) 23,540,000 Class A Shares are issued and outstanding, (iii) 7,846,667 Class B Shares are issued and outstanding and (iv) 7,666,666 redeemable warrants and 180,000 private placement warrants are outstanding. All (i) issued and outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and are non-assessable and are not subject to preemptive rights and (ii) outstanding warrants have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and are not subject to preemptive rights. Except as set forth above and pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements and the Merger Agreement, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or acquire from the Issuer any shares of Common Stock or other equity interests in the Issuer, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such equity interests. As of the date hereof, other than Merger Sub, the Issuer has no subsidiaries and does not own, directly or indirectly, interests or investments (whether equity or debt) in any person, whether incorporated or unincorporated. There are no stockholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any securities of the Issuer, other than (A) as set forth in the SEC Documents and (B) as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, as of September 30, 2020, the Issuer had no outstanding indebtedness and will not have any outstanding long-term indebtedness as of the Closing Date.

 

i.  The Issuer has not received any written communication from a governmental entity that alleges that the Issuer is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

j.  The issued and outstanding Class A Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “INAQ.” There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened against the Issuer by Nasdaq or the Commission with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Class A Shares or prohibit or terminate the listing of the Class A Shares on Nasdaq, excluding, for the purposes of clarity, the customary ongoing review by Nasdaq of the Issuer's continued listing application in connection with the Transactions. The Issuer has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the Class A Shares under the Exchange Act or the listing of the Class A Shares on Nasdaq.

 

k.  Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of this Subscription Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Acquired Shares by the Issuer to Subscriber in the manner contemplated by this Subscription Agreement..

  

l.  Neither the Issuer, nor any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any Issuer security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Issuer on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the issuance of the Acquired Shares under the Securities Act.

 

4

 

 

m.  Except for any Alternative Settlement Procedures, the Issuer has not entered into any Other Subscription Agreement (or side letter or similar agreement in respect thereof) on terms (economic or otherwise) that are materially more favorable to such subscriber or investor than as set forth in this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that Subscriber acknowledges that the subscription agreement entered into with Cohen & Company, LLC or its affiliate provides that Cohen & Company, LLC or its affiliate may increase the number of Acquired Shares to be purchased under such agreement at any time prior to Closing.

 

n.  The Issuer’s public reports filed with the Commission, and all subsequent reports (collectively, the “Exchange Act Reports”) that have been timely filed with the Commission or sent to stockholders, pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act, did not when filed, and taken as a whole and as amended to the date hereof, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and such Exchange Act Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. The Issuer has timely filed each report, statement, schedule, prospectus, and registration statement that the Issuer was required to file with the Commission since its inception. There are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the Commission Staff with respect to any of the Issuer’s filings with the Commission (the “SEC Documents”). In addition, the Issuer has made available to Subscriber (including via the Commission’s EDGAR system) a copy of the Exchange Act Reports since its initial registration of the Class A Shares with the Commission. Each of the financial statements (including, in each case, any notes thereto) contained in the SEC Documents was prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the Commission) and each fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Issuer as at the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein.

 

o.  Except for such matters as have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, there is no (i) investigation, action, suit, claim or other proceeding, in each case by or before any governmental authority pending, or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened against the Issuer or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental entity outstanding against the Issuer.

  

p.  Except for placement fees payable to the Placement Agents (as defined herein), the Issuer has not paid, and is not obligated to pay, any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with its issuance and sale of the Acquired Shares, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any fee or commission payable to any stockholder or affiliate of the Issuer.

 

q.  Except as provided in this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements, none of the Issuer, its subsidiaries or any of their affiliates, nor any person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Acquired Shares under the Securities Act, whether through integration with prior offerings pursuant to Rule 502(a) of the Securities Act or otherwise.

 

r.  Neither the Issuer nor any of its subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation, administration or winding up or failed to pay its debts when due, nor does the Issuer or any subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or seek to commence an administration.  

 

s.  Except for discussions specifically regarding the offer and sale of the Acquired Shares, the Issuer confirms that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public information concerning the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, other than with respect to the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. The Issuer understands and confirms that Subscriber will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Issuer. Except with respect to the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements, no event or circumstance has occurred which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or announcement by the Issuer but which has not been so publicly disclosed.

 

5

 

 

t. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including, without limitation, Section 4(e) of this Subscription Agreement, the Acquired Shares may be pledged by Subscriber in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, which shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Acquired Shares hereunder, and Subscriber effecting a pledge of Acquired Shares shall not be required to provide the Issuer with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement; provided that Subscriber and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Section 4(e) hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Acquired Shares to such pledgee.

Subscriber acknowledges that the Acquired Shares will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. Subscriber understands and agrees that the Acquired Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Acquired Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Acquired Shares for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Acquired Shares.

Subscriber further represents and agrees that, except for the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Issuer herein, on which it may rely, it is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice Subscriber deems appropriate) with respect to the Subscription, the Acquired Shares and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of the Issuer, including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it has received, reviewed and understood the offering materials made available to it in connection with the Subscription and such other information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Shares, including with respect to the Issuer, Metromile and the Transactions. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information from the Issuer directly as Subscriber and such Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Shares. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied on any statements or other information provided by the Placement Agents or any of the affiliates thereof with respect to the Transactions, the Issuer, Metromile or its decision to purchase the Acquired Shares. Subscriber further acknowledges that the information provided to the Subscriber (other than the information reflected in the representations and warranties made herein) is preliminary and subject to change, and that any changes to such information, including, without limitation, any changes based on updated information, shall in no way affect the Subscriber’s obligation to purchase the Acquired Shares hereunder.

 

k.  Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Acquired Shares solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber and the Issuer or by means of contact from any of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or Allen & Company LLC, each acting as placement agent for the Issuer (collectively, the “Placement Agents”), and the Acquired Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and the Issuer or by contact between Subscriber and one or more Placement Agents.

m. Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Acquired Shares, including those set forth in the SEC Documents. Subscriber qualifies as a sophisticated institutional investor and has such knowledge and experience in financial, business and private equity matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, including Subscriber’s investment in the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

 

8

 

 

n. Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), Subscriber represents and acknowledges that Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Acquired Shares and determined that the Acquired Shares are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Issuer. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

Part 515, or (v) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (collectively, a “Prohibited Investor”). Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law. Subscriber represents that if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with OFAC-administered sanctions programs, including for the screening of its investors against the OFAC Lists. Subscriber further represents and warrants that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Acquired Shares were legally derived.

r. Subscriber has, and at the Closing will have, sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2(a).

 

5.  Registration Rights.

 

a.  The Issuer agrees that, within fifteen (15) business days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), the Issuer will file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Acquired Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th business day (or 80th business day if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Date shall be extended by the same amount of days that the Commission remains closed for operations, provided, further, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Acquired Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder;. Any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 5. The Issuer will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the undersigned for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall the undersigned be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Acquired Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Acquired Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Acquired Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Acquired Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders. The Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement until all such securities cease to be Registrable Securities (as defined below) or such shorter period upon which each undersigned party with Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have notified the Issuer that such Registrable Securities have actually been sold. The Issuer will file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), as applicable, qualify the Registrable Securities for listing on the applicable stock exchange, update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include Registrable Securities and provide customary notice to holders of Registrable Securities. “Registrable Securities” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Acquired Shares and any other equity security of the Issuer issued or issuable with respect to the Acquired Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise. As to any particular Registrable Securities, once issued, such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities at the earliest of (A) when the undersigned ceases to hold any Acquired Shares, (B) the date all Acquired Shares held by the undersigned may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144, other than the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c), (C) when they shall have ceased to be outstanding or (D) two years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

 

10

 

   

b. In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Issuer shall:

 

(i)  except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earliest of the following: (i) Subscriber ceases to hold any Acquired Shares, (ii) the date all Acquired Shares held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(i)(2), and (iii) two (2) years from the effective date of the Registration Statement. The period of time during which the Issuer is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;

 

(ii)  advise Subscriber within five (5) business days:

 

(1)  when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

 

(2)  of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

 

(3)  of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

 

(4)  of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

 

(5)  subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (5) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;

 

(iii)  use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

 

(iv)  upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Acquired Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

(v)  use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Class A Shares issued by the Issuer have been listed; and

 

(vi)  use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby and to enable Subscriber to sell the Acquired Shares under Rule 144.

 

11

 

 

c.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

 

d.  Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Issuer requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by this Section 6; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Issuer shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Issuer in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 5(d)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Issuer will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Issuer, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

 

e. Indemnification.

 

 

(i)  The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Subscriber, its directors, officers, employees, agents, each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or document incorporated by reference therein or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section (e) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Issuer be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a Prospectus made available by the Issuer in a timely manner or (B) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of this Agreement.

 

12

 

 

(ii)  In connection with any Registration Statement in which Subscriber is participating, Subscriber shall furnish to the Issuer in writing such information and affidavits as the Issuer reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus. Subscriber agrees, severally and not jointly with any other Person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Issuer, its directors and officers and agents and employees and each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from or arising out of any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that in no event shall the liability of each such Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Acquired Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

  

(iii)  Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

(iv)  The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Acquired Shares.

 

(v)  If the indemnification provided under this Section 5(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5(e)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 5(e)(v) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

6.  Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing or (d) the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement); provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Issuer shall promptly notify Subscriber in writing (including via email) of the termination of the Merger Agreement.

 

7.  Additional Agreements and Waivers of Subscriber.

 

a. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Issuer and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the Issuer’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated September 2, 2020 (the “September 2020 Prospectus”), available at sec.gov, substantially all of the Issuer’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of the Issuer’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of its public stockholders and the underwriters of its initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Issuer to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the September 2020 Prospectus. For and in consideration of the Issuer entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse or make or bring any action, suit, claim or other proceeding against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Acquired Shares, regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided however, that nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Issuer. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have any redemption rights with respect to the Acquired Shares pursuant to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation in connection with the Transactions or any other business combination, any subsequent liquidation of the Trust Account or the Issuer or otherwise. In the event Subscriber has any claim against the Issuer as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Acquired Shares, it shall pursue such claim solely against the Issuer and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account. This paragraph shall survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement.

 

b. No Hedging. Subscriber hereby agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, shall execute any short sales or engage in other hedging transactions of any kind with respect to the Acquired Shares during the period from the date of this Subscription Agreement through the Closing. Nothing in this Section 7(b) shall prohibit such persons from engaging in hedging transactions with respect to other securities of the Issuer, including Class A Shares acquired in open market purchases, so long as such person does not create any “put equivalent position,” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act, or short sale positions, with respect to the Acquired Shares, nor shall this Section 7(b) prohibit any other investment portfolios of the Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in this transaction (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any short sales or engaging in other hedging transactions.

c.  The Issuer will use the proceeds from the sale of the Acquired Shares and the shares issued and sold pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreement solely to finance the Transactions.

REGISTRATIONS

 

2.1 Demand Registration.

 

2.1.1 Shelf Registration Statement. (a) As soon as practicable but no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date hereof (the “Filing Date”), the Company shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to) the Commission a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act (such registration statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two Business Days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof and no later than the earlier of (x) the 60th Business Day (or 80th Business Day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the date hereof and (y) the 10th Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Such Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit all Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities.

(b) Subject to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, (i) the Holders of a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the Initial Stockholders or the transferees of the Initial Stockholders, (ii) the Holders of a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the Former MetroMile Stockholders or the transferees of the Former MetroMile Stockholders or (iii) Cantor or its designees (the “Demanding Holders”), may make a written demand from time to time to elect to sell all or any part of their Registrable Securities, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, the Minimum Demand Threshold, pursuant to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Demanding Holders shall make such election by delivering to the Company a written request (a “Shelf Underwriting Request”) for such Underwritten Offering specifying the number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders desire to sell pursuant to such Underwritten Offering (the “Shelf Underwriting”). As promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request, the Company shall give written notice (the “Shelf Underwriting Notice”) of such Shelf Underwriting Request to the Holders of record of other Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”). The Company, subject to Section 2.1.3, shall include in such Shelf Underwriting (x) the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and (y) the Shelf Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such Shelf Underwriting (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within five (5) days after the receipt of the Shelf Underwriting Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request), but subject to Section 2.3, use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Shelf Underwriting. The Company shall, at the request of any Demanding Holders, file any prospectus supplement or, if the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement, any post-effective amendments and otherwise take any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Demanding Holders or any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities to effect such Shelf Underwriting. Once a Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Demanding Holders may request, and the Company shall be required to facilitate, an aggregate of three (3) Shelf Underwritings pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1(b) with respect to any or all Registrable Securities, including one (1) Shelf Underwriting on behalf of Cantor; provided, however, that a Shelf Underwriting shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Registration Statement has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders to be registered on behalf of the Demanding Holders in such Shelf Underwriting have been sold; and provided, further, that the number of Shelf Underwritings the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to request shall be reduced by each Demand Registration effected for such Demanding Holder pursuant to Section 2.1.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in an underwritten block trade or similar transaction or other transaction with a 2-day or less marketing period (collectively, “Underwritten Block Trade”) off of a Shelf Registration Statement, then notwithstanding the foregoing time periods, such Demanding Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Underwritten Block Trade two (2) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Holders of record of other Registrable Securities shall not be entitled to notice of such Underwritten Block Trade and shall not be entitled to participate in such Underwritten Block Trade; provided, however, that the Demanding Holder requesting such Underwritten Block Trade shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and the underwriters prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Underwritten Block Trade.

 

2.1.2 Other Demand Registration. At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2.1.1(a) is not available for use by the Holders following such Shelf Registration Statement being declared effective by the Commission (a “Demand Registration Period”), subject to this Section 2.1.2 and Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, at any time and from time to time during such Demand Registration Period, the Demanding Holders shall have the right to make a written demand from time to time to effect one or more registration statements under the Securities Act covering all or any part of their Registrable Securities, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, the Minimum Demand Threshold, by delivering a written demand therefor to the Company, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. Any such request by any Demanding Holder pursuant to this Section 2.1.2 is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration Request,” and the registration so requested is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration” (with respect to any Demand Registration, the Demanding Holders making such demand for registration being referred to as the “Initiating Holders”). Subject to Section 2.3, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to request (and the Company shall be required to effect) an aggregate of three (3) Demand Registrations pursuant to this subsection 2.1.2 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities, including one (1) Demand Registration on behalf of Cantor; provided, however, that a Demand Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Registration Statement has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders to be registered on behalf of the Demanding Holders in such Demand Registration have been sold; and provided, further, that the number of Demand Registrations the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to request shall be reduced by each Shelf Underwriting effected for such Demanding Holder pursuant to Section 2.1.1(b). The Company shall give written notice (the “Demand Exercise Notice”) of such Demand Registration Request to each of the Holders of record of Registrable Securities as promptly as practicable but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of the Demand Registration Request. The Company, subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.4, shall include in a Demand Registration (x) the Registrable Securities of the Initiating Holders and (y) the Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such registration pursuant to Section 2.1.2 (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within five (5) days following the receipt of any such Demand Exercise Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, but subject to Section 2.3, use its reasonable best efforts to (x) file or confidentially submit with the Commission (no later than (A) sixty (60) days from the Company’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration Request if the Demand Registration is on Form S-1 or similar long-form registration or (B) thirty (30) days from the Company’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration Request if the Demand Registration is on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration), (y) cause to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable such registration statement under the Securities Act that includes the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register, for distribution in accordance with the intended method of distribution and (z) if requested by the Initiating Holders, obtain acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration.

2.1.3 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and any other Holders participating in the Underwritten Registration (if any) (the “Requesting Holders”) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that such Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have collectively requested be included in such Underwritten Registration (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

If in the good faith judgment of the Board, Registration would be detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or the undertaking of such Underwritten Offering at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed or to undertake such Underwritten Offering in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or undertaking of such Underwritten Offering, then in such event, the Company shall have the right to defer its obligation for up to 120 days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than twice in any period of twelve consecutive months.

No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

11

 

 

 3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed and he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the time of such notice) and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. If the continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of (i) financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, (ii) audited financial statements as of a date other than the Company’s fiscal year end (unless the Holders requesting Registration agree to pay the reasonable expenses of this audit), or (iii) pro forma financial statements that are required to be included in a registration statement, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, such Registration Statement for no more than 180 days. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

 

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be reporting under the Exchange Act, covenants to use reasonable best efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly upon request by a Holder furnish such Holder with true and complete copies of such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

 

3.6 Limitations on Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) Cantor may not exercise its rights under Section 2.1 and 2.2 hereunder after five (5) and seven (7) years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Company’s IPO and (ii) Cantor may not exercise its rights under Section 2.1 more than one time.

 

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

 

4.1 Indemnification.

 

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein.

 

12

 

  

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

 

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

 

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Webcast Scheduled for Today at 9:00 AM Eastern

 

PHILADELPHIA & SAN FRANCISCO – November 24, 2020 – Metromile, Inc. (“Metromile”), the leading digital insurance platform and pay-per-mile auto insurer, and INSU Acquisition Corp. II (NASDAQ: INAQ) (“INSU II”), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company sponsored by Cohen & Company, LLC, a subsidiary of Cohen & Company Inc. (NYSE American: COHN), announced today that they have entered into a definitive business combination that will result in Metromile becoming a publicly listed company. Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will be named Metromile, Inc. and is expected to remain listed on NASDAQ under the new ticker symbol “MLE”.

 

Company Overview

 

Metromile is revolutionizing the fragmented $250+ billion U.S. personal auto insurance market with real-time digital auto insurance personalized for low-mileage drivers. About two-thirds of U.S. drivers are considered low-mileage and could be overpaying for auto insurance because they do not pay per mile. Today, Metromile’s insurance customers save 47% on average compared to what they were paying their previous auto insurer.1 Metromile is making auto insurance fairer with pricing and billing by the mile, with precise rates based on how and how much they drive instead of industry-standard approximations or estimates.

 

Metromile’s fully digital customer experience is designed for the modern driver. Customers sign up, access customer support and file claims through its mobile app. Claims are handled quickly and, in most cases, are fully automated. Exclusive features like street sweeping alerts and auto health tips engage drivers along the way. The result is a community of fiercely loyal customers who enjoy far more than price savings.

By downloading Metromile’s free Ride Along™, consumers can determine if they are a low-mileage driver, see what they could save with Metromile before switching and get their best rate.

 

With data science at its core, Metromile unlocks the predictive value of data generated by autos, mobile phones and other sources. Its model translates into a better customer experience, higher customer retention rates, and greater operating profits, while lowering customer acquisition costs, fraud and servicing expenses.

 

Additionally, with Metromile Enterprise, the company is now powering the digital transformation of the global insurance industry. Launched in 2019, Metromile Enterprise is a cloud-based software-as-a-service solution that helps large, incumbent insurers transition into an era of modern mobility. By licensing key components of its technology platform – including claims automation and fraud detection tools – the company accelerates P&C carriers’ digital roadmaps and meaningfully participates in the profit improvements they realize, generating growing and recurring high-margin revenue.

 

Management and Investor Comments

 

“We founded Metromile to address the vast inequities in auto insurance, and we are proving that our model of real-time, digital auto insurance is both resilient and sustainable,” said Dan Preston, Chief Executive Officer of Metromile. “Our data science-driven technology platform creates a significant advantage, and customers are thrilled with their savings and experience. At the same time, we’re generating industry-leading underwriting metrics and unit economics. We’re demonstrating there doesn’t have to be a tradeoff between customer happiness and a healthy, profitable business.”

 

“We are excited to bring our vision of transforming the auto insurance industry to the public markets by partnering with Daniel Cohen and the team at INSU II, whose deep experience in the insurtech space will help propel Metromile to the next level,” continued Preston. “Today’s announcement launches Metromile’s new chapter in delivering the fairest, most individualized auto insurance. As a public company, we expect to use our strengthened balance sheet to accelerate our growth, bring Metromile nationwide, and scale rapidly toward sustained profitability. The era of fixed price auto insurance is coming to an end.”

 

“The massive U.S. auto insurance industry has been inefficient and ripe for disruption for decades, and Metromile’s technology platform provides a clear competitive advantage over the legacy carriers, positioning them at the forefront of the revolution they founded,” said Daniel Cohen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of INSU II. “Led by visionary technologists and complemented by the best veterans from top insurance carriers, Metromile has built a digital auto insurer with compelling and durable unit economics. The team has created a distinct offering that vastly differentiates Metromile in the marketplace.”

“Metromile’s technology sets them apart, driving huge advantages that will deliver significant and profitable growth for decades to come. I expect them to be a generational business,” added Chamath Palihapitiya, Founder and CEO of Social Capital. “In addition to saving consumers considerable amounts of money, the Metromile platform has been built from the ground-up as a technology company, reshaping how an insurance business operates. No industry should be more impacted by digitization than insurance, and Metromile is leading the way. We are excited to work with this team and support their important transition to becoming a public company.”

 

“I’ve long been a fan of Metromile’s team and amazing product. During these times of financial hardship, unemployment, and work from home, Metromile provides an important insurance alternative. The option to pay for insurance by the mile is a game changer and why I’m incredibly excited about Metromile’s future!” said entrepreneur and early Metromile investor Mark Cuban.

Daniel

 

Thank you, and good morning to everyone. On behalf of my partners at INSU II and Cohen & Company, we are thrilled to announce this morning that we are combining with Metromile, a leading digital insurance platform in the U.S., and bringing it to the public markets.

 

Personal auto insurance is the largest segment of the massive $363 billion U.S. P&C personal insurance market, accounting for more than $250 billion of premiums per year. But it is a highly fragmented market that has seen minimal innovation, as legacy carriers largely stick to an old, inefficient way of delivering a product with low engagement and low margin. In short, it is an industry that is more than ripe for disruption by companies with technology at their core.

 

Metromile has done just that by embracing data science and customer-centric design. Today, the company offers American drivers pay-per-mile insurance that saves customers an average of 47% in premiums, or $740 per year, over their previous car insurance policy. Metromile is revolutionizing the insurance industry with their real-time digital auto insurance. Metromile’s visionary management team combines some of Silicon Valley’s best technologists with veterans from storied insurance companies and financial institutions.

 

 

 

 

Together, they have built an insurance company that allows them to profitably underwrite and provide meaningful consumer benefits to further enhance customer engagement. It is a technology-driven offering that is vastly different, and as a result, Metromile is steadily growing their competitive advantage with both superior profitability, high customer satisfaction and retention, and low customer acquisition costs.

 

And in 2019, the company launched Metromile Enterprise, a cloud-based enterprise software solution that provides key claims automation and fraud detection tools to global P&C insurers. This exciting new business leverages Metromile’s existing technology platform to drive the digital transformation of global insurance carriers and meaningfully participate in the profit improvement that they realize.

 

If there are two industries we clearly know and in which we have deep expertise, they are insurance and fintech. Our sponsor, Cohen & Company, has invested over $4 billion over the years across over 200 insurance companies, and we have successfully completed several fintech SPACs over the past few years, including CardConnect, Intermex and Paya. We also co-founded The Bancorp, a provider of depository and payment services to fintechs. We’re backed by a wonderful team at INSU II made up of fintech founders, operators and investors, with an excellent track record. And we are very pleased that we have received commitments for a PIPE of $150 million anchored by a great group of investors, which will be funded upon the conclusion of the combination. 

 

Our entire team believes Metromile is a highly compelling long-term growth story.

 

We are absolutely thrilled to be partnering with the entire Metromile team, and with that, to tell you more, I am pleased to turn it over to the Founder and Executive Chairman of Metromile, Dave Friedberg.

 

Dave

 

Thank you very much, Daniel. Good morning to everyone on the call, and thank you for your interest. We are just as excited as Daniel to be combining with INSU II to become a public company. Today could not have been possible without our incredible Metromile team, whose non-stop work and dedication has brought us to the next milestone of our journey — to drive the digital evolution of auto insurance, setting us up for breakaway growth and compelling long-term value creation for years to come.

 

When we started Metromile in 2011, I was the CEO of The Climate Corporation, a company I founded after leaving Google in 2006.

 

2

 

 

The Climate Corporation was the first provider of fully-automated weather insurance products to farmers around the world. Farmers rely on good weather, and without insurance, they take on massive financial risk. We built The Climate Corporation using the ever-increasing flow of data being generated by physical sensors connected to the Internet. Satellite imagery, radar data, even data coming from farm equipment connected to the Internet, allowed us to use data science to make real-time predictions and offer insurance and software to help farmers reduce risk and increase profits.

 

Our investors enjoyed a successful outcome for the business when we sold it to Monsanto in 2013 for $1.1 billion. It has since become a ubiquitous software platform for farmers worldwide.

 

As we were setting up The Climate Corporation to operate as an insurance provider across all 50 states, we observed a similar set of advanced technology trends underway in auto insurance – namely, the ability to begin charging and underwriting per-mile rather than by “driver class,” thanks to the ubiquity of mobile phones and cars getting connected to the Internet.

 

We saw a straightforward and incredible opportunity to use data science and machine learning to transform auto insurance for the modern world, and we set out to build Metromile to address the inequities in the massive auto insurance market and become the world’s leading pay-per-mile auto insurance offering.

 

Simply put, auto insurance is unfair to the majority of drivers.

 

One-third of drivers drive most of the miles and get into most of the accidents. And yet, they might pay the same, fixed rates as the two-thirds of drivers who drive less than half the miles.

 

With Metromile, the era of fixed price insurance is coming to an end.

 

Today, we are the leading insurer singularly focused on auto insurance based on how and how often you drive.

 

This simple value proposition saves our customers, on average, 47% over what they were previously paying, and we believe we can offer savings for nearly two-thirds of U.S. drivers, representing a $100 billion revenue opportunity.

 

We are attracting the best drivers, charging them less, and giving them a better experience.

 

But it’s not just savings and a better experience for our customers that drives our success.

 

3

 

 

Our tremendous data advantage – we’ve already collected approximately 3 billion miles of data – has allowed us to build a better auto insurance company from the ground up, with digital technology at its core. By modeling the data we collect to better segment customers and automate processes, we have achieved an industry-leading loss ratio of 59%, which is ahead of our long-term targets, and a contribution margin of 15%, well on our way to achieving our long-term planned contribution margin of 28%.

 

And because of the savings and experience we offer drivers, it costs us less to acquire new customers, and we keep them longer. We are already realizing an average new customer lifetime of 3.4 years, and customers that have been with us for at least a year have an average customer lifetime of 5.2 years.

 

These metrics translate into a significant competitive advantage with an industry-leading LTV/CAC ratio. With a business model that is less capital intensive, we can generate higher growth and more operating profit than our competitors. From an estimated $111 million run-rate today, we expect to achieve $1 billion of insurance premium run-rate in four years.

 

We have also turned our core technology advantage into a new and growing revenue opportunity, Metromile Enterprise, which licenses software to incumbent insurers around the world.

 

In short, thanks to our capital efficient model, our business should achieve positive operating cash flow, while maintaining its high growth rate for many years ahead, setting the stage to become the world’s leading insurer and building a lasting enterprise.

 

Now I’d like to turn the call over to our CEO, Dan Preston, who will walk you through what sets us apart from everyone else, as well as provide more details about our business and the exciting road ahead.

 

Dan

Thanks very much, Dave, and thank you to everyone listening to this morning’s call for your interest in Metromile.

 

My background has always been rooted in data science: The early part of my career was focused in applying machine learning to astrophysics, medicine, and computer vision. I then co-founded and became the CTO of a payments company called AisleBuyer, which was acquired by Intuit in 2012.

 

I joined Metromile as the CTO in 2013, because it was at the core of my thesis for how the world was going to change. As sensor data about the physical world proliferates, entirely new companies would be built that could reshape the ways we offer products. Even more so, the companies we would build would operate in entirely different ways -- with more efficiency, insight, and customer focus.

 

4

 

  

That is exactly what we have been building at Metromile, and why we believe we are best positioned to revolutionize the $250-billion-plus, fragmented U.S. auto insurance industry.

 

When you think about U.S. auto insurance incumbents, they are, at best, marketing companies that deliver an inequitable product to the majority of their customers.

 

No incumbent competitor has more than a 20% market share, and nearly one-third of U.S. drivers shop for auto insurance every year.

 

These competitors are unprepared for a changing and increasingly digital world. Their advantage today lies in the scale of human capital and marketing tactics, but the advantage required to compete effectively in modern times lies in being a great technology company.

 

Metromile is built to be a more engaging and more profitable insurance enterprise and is poised to succeed in this rapidly digitizing world. We are the largest data science company focused solely on auto insurance.

 

The catalyst for this was building per-mile insurance. The traditional insurance model focuses on a “class of driver”, which uses broad demographics to provide a single six-month rate to groups of seemingly similar people. Metromile’s per-mile insurance allows us to offer a personalized rate that is billed based on actual need -- substantially lowering costs for the majority of drivers, and saving them 47% on average.

 

On top of this, cars themselves and the way we use cars is creating massive pricing challenges for the industry: cars are more connected, being shared, and becoming autonomous. The standard 6-month flat-rate model is unprepared and can’t take advantage of new, growing segments of business – but because Metromile is inherently connected and adaptive, we are able to underwrite entirely novel needs for insurance rapidly.

 

The digitization of insurance allows us to move away from a commoditized model, reliant on investment income to realize a profit, and instead create a distinct offering that is already today structurally more profitable than the industry.

 

Our platform looks different than any other insurer: we’re built from the ground-up with sensors and data science technology. First, we stream data from any source that measures driving - through the car itself with a device or an integration with automotive OEMs and the phone in your pocket - and second, we model that data to improve or replace all insurance functions. This means that every decision we make is better informed, more accurate and more automated. Because we’re using high quality sensor data actually connected to your car, our underwriting and product are superior. It’s by far a more accurate approach compared to relying solely on low frequency mobile phone data, which can be a more coarse or imprecise measurement.

5

 

 

With this platform at the core, the insurance business directly captures market share. In addition, we’re now leveraging our infrastructure and technological advantage into a substantial revenue opportunity with Metromile Enterprise. Our Enterprise segment licenses key components of this platform to create efficiencies for existing carriers around the globe already at scale. With four active deployments underway and a full pipeline, we are rapidly earning additional recurring, high-margin revenue that is scaling toward a substantial business in its own right.

 

The enterprise business is just one of multiple paths of sustainable growth for our business, which I’ll touch upon shortly. But let me take a couple of minutes now to walk you through the Metromile customer experience.

 

There are many ways to sign up with Metromile: you can sign up online or through our app in minutes. Our licensed in-house agents also provide an additional level of support. And, if you aren’t sure you’re a low mileage driver, you can download our free “Ride Along” app and find out if you’re a fit in just a few weeks.

 

Once you sign up, we then connect directly to your car, either through our Pulse device or a digital integration with your automotive manufacturer.

 

And then you’re billed at the end of each month, retroactively only for the miles you drive plus a low monthly base rate.

 

With that, the average Metromile customer saves over $740 per year.

 

Savings are only a starting point, however: We are also creating a sticky experience by helping customers with our app features -- like avoiding parking tickets, diagnosing car health issues, and more -- but also with our seamless, automated claims experience, which is the moment of truth for an insurer. Our NPS claims score of 75 and our customer satisfaction scores exceed the average insurer and speak for themselves. By building true engagement with our customers, and giving them a modern experience that addresses their needs in a fair and proactive way, we’re able to build a longer lasting relationship.

 

The bottom line is that this combination of savings and experience means that our customers stay with us longer.

 

6

 

  

Our average customer remains a Metromile customer for almost 3.5 years, and as they experience us longer, their lifetime grows to more than 5 years. While insurers are typically used to constant churn as they change rates and customers file claims, we’ve proven that through meaningful and intelligent engagement with our customers, we can extend their lifetime with us, increase retention and accelerate growth through winning new customers.

 

As we’ve grown, we’ve built the business in a purposeful way and have prioritized unit economics over “growth at all costs”, giving us a meaningful business advantage for many years to come. Over the last several years, we’ve moved from building the infrastructure and foundation to becoming a full stack carrier. When we made that transition, we made a choice to first focus on unit economics and achieving a lifetime value greater than our cost of acquisition – which, in insurance, is the only way to build a generational business that can last and scale over several decades. Ensuring that we have an engine that is returning meaningful operating profit for every policy sold, well beyond our per-policy acquisition costs, is the most capital efficient path toward profitability, and this has been our core focus.

 

In 2019, we achieved a positive contribution margin, and in 2020, our LTV now substantially exceeds our cost of acquisition. This gives us an enormous lever as we further scale the business: We can put substantial capital to work efficiently *today* and ensure shareholders will not have to suffer future dilution to fund future growth.

 

The unit economic advantage driven by our technology creates a durable advantage in three ways: 1) price competitiveness, 2) shareholder returns, and 3) customer experience.

 

The levers are about high quality customer acquisition and retention, but also cost structure advantages that enhance underwriting profit and ultimate returns.

 

These levers create a powerful flywheel:
- First, a moment-by-moment understanding of driving behavior leads to the most savings and universally adequate price levels, driving down customer acquisition cost;

- Second, a simple, engaging experience before and after customer acquisition, leading to higher virality and higher retention; and

- Finally, an end-to-end claims automation and vastly superior fraud detection leads to fewer losses and streamlined operations… driving up overall lifetime value.

 

Taken together, our high quality underwriting and technology-driven operations platform drive higher returns for every dollar invested to grow the business, and that same digital platform creates a far better experience for our customers. We’re proving that there doesn’t have to be a tradeoff between customer happiness and a healthy, profitable business.

 

7

 

 

And now, with billions of miles of data, and tens of thousands of claims and accidents resolved, we can leverage detailed modeling of what truly causes accidents, down to individual moments, to create a substantial pricing edge. With this, we believe we have the most accurate and most competitive rates, improving our profitability while still driving down costs for our customers. And because our model is inherently responsive, massive behavioral shifts are captured in the pricing model nearly instantly -- without requiring massive strategic shifts -- and providing continued, reliable earnings.

 

As I mentioned previously, submitting a claim is often the “moment of truth” for any insurer.

 

When a customer does get into an accident and submits a claim, our experience is automated. There’s no need for several phone calls or tedious follow up -- we algorithmically reconstruct the accident scene and can instantly validate the majority of claims. The customer is then on their way, with higher satisfaction and is now less likely to leave after a claim. Handling claims in this way leads to a substantially lower operating expense, while still driving higher customer retention.

 

When a claim is potentially fraudulent, our sophisticated accident and claims data science models capture the vast majority. In the auto insurance industry, up to $8 billion of excess losses are paid due to fraud, and these costs are effectively passed on to the consumer. Thanks to Metromile’s advanced technology, we are able to capture three times the number of fraudulent claims than the average insurer. It’s hard to overstate this advantage: This technical capability directly improves our loss ratio, which increases our margin, and allows us to scale more confidently into new markets and channels as we avoid adverse selection.

 

The culmination of this work is a year-after-year improvement in loss ratio and, in turn, contribution margin. Our industry-leading LTV/CAC ratios represent a substantial result, and these economics are sustaining; we expect to deliver a 5.5x LTV/CAC in 2024 as we achieve additional scale.

 

Our unit economics lead the industry because of this data and technology advantage.

 

It’s important to highlight three key points:

 

1. Our loss ratio is already within our long-term targets, even for newly acquired business - and thus we do not need to depend on a maturing business. As we scale, we maintain our strong unit economics.

 

2. Our portfolio is a high quality mix of business, driving both better underwriting results and higher retention, which means the quality of revenue will remain high, and

 

3. The auto insurance business alone delivers substantial underwriting profits, well before cross-selling additional products.

 

8

 

  

While 2020 has been an unprecedented year due to COVID, it has also helped prove the resilience of our financial model, as our loss ratio remained within our targets, and have made us a strong fit for the more than 40% of Americans currently working from home. While our premiums have been impacted, our built-in margins have not.

 

It is clear to us that the era of fixed price auto insurance is coming to an end. Our model is built to adapt to change and thrive – both for our customers and for the health of our business.

 

Looking ahead, we have multiple paths to build sustainable growth for Metromile – some of which we are already hard at work pursuing:

 

- First, we expect to begin accelerating our growth within our existing 8-state footprint that reaches more than 45 million licensed drivers. Already, we have enough data in nearly all of our markets to effectively and profitably scale.

 

- As we further scale, we plan to expand near-nationwide over the next two years, tripling our market reach to 143 million licensed drivers in the U.S., representing $160 billion of potential premiums.

 

- Second, we will continue to market our new “Ride Along” app, which allows drivers to ‘try before they buy’. Through “Ride Along”, we’ve seen a 20% conversion rate to purchase, a 25% referral rate, and 11% of all previously abandoned quoters trying it. This allows us to better optimize marketing spend, creates a viral effect for the product, and drives high intent customers to Metromile at a low cost.

 

- Third, we are now directly working with OEM partners to identify low mileage drivers. Nearly all new cars today are connected and have the same sensor data streaming directly from the vehicle. Aided by our partners, we are able to identify who is a low-mileage driver 30 days after they purchase a car. We can then provide a customized offer based on true miles driven -- showing how much you can save with pay-per-mile insurance. We expect these OEM partnerships will drive millions of leads in the future at a low cost of acquisition.

 

- Fourth, given our enduring relationship with our customers, we expect to begin offering bundled products next year, which we expect will bolster our already strong lifetime value.

 

- Fifth, we’ve recently expanded and optimized our omni-channel customer growth engine, allowing us to funnel the appropriate quality of business from price comparison sites, rebuilding our quoting experience to significantly reduce time-to-quote, and adding more affiliate partners.

 

- And finally, as I mentioned earlier, our Metromile Enterprise software platform is being recognized by the global insurance industry as a requisite for competing in today’s digital world. We expect to see this business deliver consistent, profitable growth as we partner with incumbent insurers around the world to help them reduce costs and digitize their operations.

 

I hope we have conveyed to you the unique advantages of our market opportunity, product value proposition, technology platform, unit economics, and ability to grow this business for years to come. Through our use of data science and machine learning, we are creating compelling and unique insurance products while delivering industry-leading economic returns.

 

We are thrilled to be partnering with investors that realize the breadth of the opportunity and the runway we have before us. This is an exciting time to be building. We hope you will join us for the journey ahead.

 

With that, we thank you for your time and your interest in Metromile. If you have additional questions, please contact us at our e-mail ir@metromile.com. Thank you again for joining today’s call.
