Kin Insurance, Inc. (“Kin”), a leading direct-to-consumer
homeowners insurance technology company, and Omnichannel
Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: OCA) (“Omnichannel”), a publicly traded
special purpose acquisition company, announced today that the
companies have mutually agreed to terminate their previously
announced agreement and plan of merger (the “Business Combination
Agreement”), effective immediately.
The parties have decided to terminate the Business Combination
Agreement as a result of current unfavorable market conditions.
Sean Harper, Chief Executive Officer of Kin, stated, “We worked
tirelessly over the better part of a year to bring this combination
to fruition, but we have collectively decided that current market
conditions are simply not conducive to Kin becoming a public
company at this time. I want to thank Matt and the incredible team
at Omnichannel for the tremendous contributions they made to Kin’s
development throughout this process, particularly as it relates to
developing our brand and communicating our important mission to
help catastrophe-prone areas adapt to climate change. I am
extremely proud of the way we have executed our business plan, as
we finished the year with 320 percent growth in total managed
premium, and the best unit economics in the insurtech industry. We
have a bright future ahead of us – one that will involve accessing
the public markets when the time is appropriate.”
Matt Higgins, Chief Executive Officer of Omnichannel, stated,
“Kin is a very special company with an important mandate. We cannot
retreat from climate change, or abandon our most vulnerable cities,
but instead we must adapt, and the insurance industry must evolve.
Unfortunately, even the most promising high growth companies have a
difficult time overcoming current market sentiment, and Kin is no
exception. It has been an honor to work alongside the Kin team for
months as they hit every target they put forth during this process.
I wish Sean and Kin every success on their journey ahead. The Omni
team will turn back to the work of meeting with targets who can
benefit from our unprecedented team of consumer founders and
world-class operators. Our unrivaled team of experts know how to
execute a digitally fueled, omnichannel strategy to meet the
demands of a frictionless-first economy.”
