16. Subsequent Events

In the third quarter of 2023, HOA, a subsidiary of Porch Group, discovered that Vesttoo Ltd (“Vesttoo”), which arranged capital for one of our reinsurance contracts, faced allegations of fraudulent activity in connection with collateral it provided to HOA and certain other third parties. We immediately began investigating the rapidly evolving situation and have been moving quickly to analyze the impact on our business. Additionally, we have communicated and met with

regulators and other key stakeholders regarding the evolving situation. This reinsurance agreement provided partial quota share coverage as well as up to approximately $175 million in a catastrophic event.

As a result of its findings, and in accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreement, HOA terminated its reinsurance contract with the reinsurer on August 4, 2023, with an effective date of July 1, 2023. Had the contract not been terminated, the contract would have expired on December 31, 2023. Following the effective date of the termination, HOA seized available liquid collateral in the amount of approximately $47.6 million from a reinsurance trust, of which HOA was the beneficiary. In addition, HOA is evaluating and intends to pursue all available legal claims and remedies to enforce its rights under the letter of credit required by the reinsurance agreement in the amount of $300 million as additional collateral, and to seek recovery of all losses and damages incurred as a result of terminating the reinsurance agreement due to allegations of fraudulent activity by third parties.

We concluded this subsequent event provides additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date and accounted for it as a recognized subsequent event. Since the Company’s request to draw on the letter of credit was not fulfilled and advisors to the issuing bank have alleged the letter of credit is invalid, we recognized a charge of $48.2 million in provision for doubtful accounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, calculated as the net asset due under the reinsurance contract (as we have the legal right of offset) of $95.8 million as of June 30, 2023, before adjustment, less the $47.6 million collateral received from a trust in July 2023. Following the provision for doubtful accounts recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2023, the net assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2023, is equal to the $47.6 million collected from the trust in July 2023.

HOA has already secured supplemental reinsurance coverage in the amount of approximately $42 million and is currently seeking additional supplemental reinsurance coverage (whether from Porch Group’s captive reinsurer, third parties or a combination thereof) in order to maintain adequate coverage in future periods against potential excess losses in the event of a severe weather event, and to satisfy regulatory and rating agency requirements.
