Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 18, 2021, Capitol Investment Corp. V (“Capitol”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the previously disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of March 2, 2021, among Capitol, Capitol V Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Capitol (“Merger Sub”), and Doma Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a States Title Holding, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Doma”). As previously disclosed, under the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Doma, with Doma surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Capitol. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

Under the Amendment, the calculation of Earnout Shares was changed to clarify that it would be calculated based on Earnout Fully Diluted Shares, which is defined as follows:

 

(i)the aggregate number of outstanding shares of PubCo Common Stock (including Exchanged Restricted Stock, but excluding the Unvested Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Agreement)), plus

 

(ii)the maximum number of shares underlying Converted Options that are vested (calculated on a net exercise basis and assuming, for this purpose, a price per share of PubCo Common Stock of $10.00) and the maximum number of shares underlying PubCo Replacement Warrants (calculated on a net exercise basis and assuming, for this purpose, a price per share of PubCo Common Stock of $10.00);

 

in each case, as of immediately following Closing and, for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to all Acquiror Share Redemptions and any forfeiture pursuant to Sections 1.1(a) and/or 1.1(b) of the Sponsor Agreement.

 

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this report as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Additional Information and Where to Find It

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K relates to a proposed transaction between Doma and Capitol. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Capitol intends to file a registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will include a document that serves as a prospectus and proxy statement of Capitol, referred to as a proxy statement/prospectus. A proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all Capitol stockholders. Capitol also will file other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC. Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders of Capitol are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction as they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction.

 

Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by Capitol through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Forward-Looking Statements Legend

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "estimate," "plan," "project," "forecast," "intend," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "seek," "target" or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity, total addressable market (TAM), market share and competition and potential benefits of the transactions described herein, and expectations related to the terms and timing of the transactions described herein. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of Doma’s and Capitol’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict, will differ from assumptions and are beyond the control of Doma and Capitol.

 

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the transactions described herein; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the transactions described herein; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Doma; future global, regional or local economic, political, market and social conditions, including due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations, including with respect to the title insurance industry; Doma’s ability to manage its future growth or to develop or acquire enhancements to its platform; the effects of competition on Doma’s future business; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; and those other factors included in Capitol’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated December 1, 2020 filed with the SEC under the heading "Risk Factors," and other documents Capitol filed, or will file, with the SEC.

 

If any of these risks materialize or Doma’s or Capitol’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Doma nor Capitol presently know or that Doma or Capitol currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Doma’s and Capitol’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Doma and Capitol anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Doma’s and Capitol’s assessments to change. However, while Doma and Capitol may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Doma and Capitol specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Doma’s and Capitol’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
