Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 2, 2025, Porch Group, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the formation of Porch Insurance Reciprocal Exchange, a new homeowners insurance reciprocal exchange (the “Reciprocal”). The formation follows prior approval by the Texas Department of Insurance (the “TDI”) to form and license a reciprocal exchange. The Reciprocal will offer homeowners tailored insurance products and connect them to services for every stage of homeownership.

In connection with the formation, the Company completed the planned sale of its homeowners insurance carrier, Homeowners of America Insurance Company (“HOAIC”), to the Reciprocal (the “Sale”). Following such Sale, HOAIC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reciprocal. The Company will fully manage and operate the Reciprocal and HOAIC pursuant to an Attorney-In-Fact Agreement (the “AIF Agreement”) between the Reciprocal and the Company’s new wholly owned subsidiary, Porch Risk Management Services LLC (“PRMS”).

The AIF Agreement, dated January 1, 2025, sets forth the terms and conditions of the management arrangement between PRMS and the Reciprocal. The services that will be provided by PRMS to the Reciprocal include, but are not limited to, underwriting, policy renewal, risk management, insurance portfolio management, financial management, and setting investment guidelines. PRMS will maintain the Reciprocal’s books and records and be responsible for its accounting and financial reporting. Another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Homeowners of America MGA, Inc., will serve as a general agent and provide services to PRMS and the Reciprocal.

As compensation for the services provided, the Company will receive ongoing commissions and policy fees equal to a blended take rate of approximately 20% of the Reciprocal’s gross written premium. The Reciprocal will be responsible for payment of all claims and claims adjustment expenses, reinsurance costs, agency commissions, taxes, and license fees. Further, the Reciprocal will indemnify PRMS and its affiliates from and against any claims, losses, damages, or similar costs and expenses that may relate to or arise out of the services provided to the Reciprocal. The AIF Agreement will remain in effect until terminated and may only be terminated by mutual agreement or by the Reciprocal for cause.

The Sale was completed pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated and effective as of January 1, 2025 (the “SPA”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Homeowners of America Holding Company ("HOAHC"), sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of HOAIC to the Reciprocal for a purchase price equal to HOAIC’s estimated surplus at December 31, 2024 of approximately $105 million, less $58 million, which is the $49 million principal plus $9 million unpaid interest under a surplus note issued by HOAIC to the Company in 2023 (the “Purchase Price”). The SPA contained customary representations, warranties, and covenants. As part of the aforementioned transactions, subject to regulatory approval, the Reciprocal will become the sole obligor on the surplus note issued by HOAIC to the Company in 2023.

The Purchase Price was financed by a surplus note (the “Note”) issued by PIRE to HOAHC, bringing the total surplus notes held by the Company and its subsidiaries to approximately $106 million. The Note has a ten-year term but is redeemable at any time subject to a 2% early redemption penalty in the first three years. The Note has a variable interest rate of SOFR + 9.75%, payable quarterly, and allows for payments on scheduled dates.

The foregoing description of the SPA and the AIF Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual text of the SPA and AIF Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and Exhibit 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company completed the sale of HOAIC as disclosed in Item 1.01 above. The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01 in its entirety.

8.    Term and Termination.    This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall continue in effect until terminated as provided in this Section 8.

(a)    Mutual Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the written mutual agreement of AIF and the Exchange, acting through the SAC.

(b)    Termination for Cause. The Exchange, acting through the SAC, may terminate this Agreement at any time if (i) its Texas certificate of authority has been revoked by the Texas Department of Insurance (the “Department”) and not reinstated after a period of ninety (90) days following such revocation, (ii) there has been a continued and material failure by AIF to perform or cause to be performed services in accordance with the Subscriber’s Agreement and this Agreement, and such failure remains uncured for a period of ninety (90) days following determination that such failure has occurred by a final order of the Department or court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) the Exchange has been adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or applied for or consented to the appointment of any receiver, trustee, liquidator or similar officer for it or for all or any substantial part of its property, or such receiver, trustee, liquidator or similar officer has been appointed without the application or consent of the Exchange or AIF and such appointment shall continue undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days.

9.    Arbitration.

(a)    As a condition precedent to any right of action arising under or out of this Agreement, the Parties agree that any and all disputes or differences, including disputes concerning the formation and/or validity of this Agreement, shall be submitted to arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators, each of whom shall be an active or retired disinterested officer of a property and casualty insurance company. One arbitrator shall be chosen by the Exchange, and one arbitrator shall be chosen by AIF. The third arbitrator will be chosen by the other two arbitrators. In the event any Party does not appoint an arbitrator within sixty (60) days after the other Party requests it to do so, or if the two arbitrators selected by the Exchange and AIF fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator to be appointed, the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, will, upon the application of any Party, be appointed by the American Arbitration Association, and the arbitrators will proceed. The decision of the majority of the arbitrators will be final and binding on all Parties. Each Party will bear the expense of its own arbitrator and one-half of the expenses of the third arbitrator and of the arbitration. Arbitration taking place under this section will take place in Dallas County, Texas, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. The arbitrators shall make a decision and award with regard to the terms of this Agreement and the original intentions of the Parties to the extent reasonably ascertainable. The arbitrators’ decision and award shall be in writing and shall state the factual and legal basis for the decision and award. The arbitrators may award interest calculated at a reasonable rate from the date they determine that any amounts due to the prevailing Party should have been paid to the prevailing Party.

- 5


(b)    Either Party may apply to any court having jurisdiction for an order compelling arbitration or confirming any decision and the award; a judgment of that court shall thereupon be entered on any decision or award. If such an order is issued, the attorneys’ fees of the Party so applying and court costs will be paid by the Party against whom confirmation is sought.

(c)    Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent any Party from applying to any court having jurisdiction to issue a restraining order or other equitable relief to maintain the “status quo” of the Parties participating in the arbitration pending the decision and award by the arbitrators or to prevent any Party from incurring irreparable harm or damage at any time prior to the decision and award of the Board. The arbitrators shall also have the authority to issue interim decisions or awards.

(d)    Notwithstanding any dispute or difference of opinion arising under this Agreement, the Exchange and AIF must fulfill all obligations under the reciprocal insurance contracts exchanged by the Subscribers.

(e)    For purposes of this Section 9, the Exchange shall act by and through the
SAC.

10.    Indemnification.

(a)    The Exchange will indemnify, defend and hold harmless AIF and each member, officer, director, employee and agent thereof (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses including, without limitation, settlement costs and any reasonable legal fees and expenses or other expenses for investigating and defending any actions or threatened actions incurred by an Indemnified Party as a result of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Exchange, relating to or arising out of the services provided by AIF hereunder, except to the extent the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to be the direct result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Party.

(b)    The Exchange will pay expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending any action or proceeding referred to in this Section 10 as they are incurred in such action or proceeding, provided the Exchange receives an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Exchange.

(c)    As soon as practicable after receipt by any Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding specified in Section 10(a) above (“Action”), such person shall, if a claim may be made against the Exchange under this Section 10, notify the Exchange, by notification in writing to the SAC, of the Action; however, the omission to notify the Exchange will not relieve the Exchange of any liability under this Section 10 unless the Exchange is prejudiced thereby. With respect to any such Action as to which such person notifies the Exchange, the Exchange may participate in the
- 6


Action at its own expense. The Exchange may, independently or jointly with any other indemnifying party assume the defense of the Action, with counsel selected by the Exchange. Counsel selected by the Exchange shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Exchange of its election to assume the defense, the Exchange will not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of the Action. The Indemnified Party will have the right to hire his or her own counsel in such action, but the fees of such counsel incurred after notice from the Exchange of its assumption of the defense of the Action will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Party shall have been authorized by the Exchange, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Exchange and such person in the conduct of the defense of such proceeding, or (iii) the Exchange did not employ counsel to assume the defense of the Action and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest if indemnification under this Section 10 is not paid or made by the Exchange, or on its behalf, within ninety (90) days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Exchange. The Indemnified Party may, at any time thereafter, bring suit against the Exchange to recover the unpaid amount of the claim.

(d)    The right to indemnification and the right to advancement of expenses provided in this Section 10 shall be enforceable by such person in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that indemnification is not appropriate shall be on the Exchange. Expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with successfully establishing the right to indemnification or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, shall be indemnified by the Exchange. For purposes of this Section 10, the Exchange shall act by and through the SAC.

11.    Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications between the Parties concerning the content and purpose of this Agreement shall be sent in writing by personal delivery, fax or by mail, registered or certified, postage pre-paid. Notices shall be addressed to the Parties as follows or to such other addresses as may be specified by a Party from time to time by like written notice to the other Party:

(g)    This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement.

Porch Group Completes Formation of Porch Insurance Reciprocal Exchange and Corresponding Sale of Homeowners of America Insurance Company
SEATTLE, January 7, 2025 (BUSINESS WIRE) – Porch Group, Inc. (“Porch” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: PRCH), a homeowners insurance and vertical software platform, today announced the completed formation of the Porch Insurance Reciprocal Exchange ("PIRE") and sale of Homeowners of America Insurance Company (“HOA”) to PIRE.
The final terms of the transaction were consistent with expectations, with Porch selling HOA to PIRE for a purchase price equal to HOA’s December 31, 2024 expected surplus1 of approximately $105 million, less the existing 2023 surplus note of $49 million and less $9 million of outstanding interest expected to be paid in 2025. This brings the total surplus notes2 held by Porch to approximately $106 million. With this transaction now complete, going forward all insurance policies, premium and related claims, as well as all HOA assets and liabilities will be owned by PIRE. Porch Group will receive commissions and fees for providing operating and other services to PIRE, which is expected to deliver more predictable and higher-margin financial results for Porch Group Shareholders.
The upcoming launch marks a pivotal milestone in Porch’s journey to build a large, highly profitable homeowners insurance company that makes the home simple. Porch differentiates by leveraging its unique property data to provide more accurate pricing and by utilizing Porch’s unique capabilities to tailor solutions for homebuyers. With PIRE now in place, Porch plans to scale insurance written premiums.
“We are thrilled to announce the formation of the Porch Insurance Reciprocal Exchange, a transformative step in our journey to redefine the homeowner experience while enhancing profitability for Porch shareholders,” said Matt Ehrlichman, Chief Executive Officer. “This is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter. We look forward to delivering exceptional value to our stakeholders and continuing to innovate in the homeowners insurance industry.”
1.HOA’s expected surplus of $105 million as at December 31, 2024 is based on Company’s best estimate to facilitate the transaction closing.
2.A surplus note is a subordinated financial instrument that pays an interest-bearing coupon with excess surplus generated by the Reciprocal.
