(“Metromile”), a leading digital insurance platform and pay-per-mile auto insurer, announced it has received the necessary regulatory approvals, including approval from the Delaware Department of Insurance and the California Department of Insurance, to consummate the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) with INSU Acquisition Corp.

INSU II intends to hold its Special Meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of INSU II’s stockholders on February 9, 2021 in connection with the Business Combination.

If the proposals at the Special Meeting are approved, INSU anticipates that the Business Combination will close shortly thereafter, subject to the satisfaction or waiver (as applicable) of all other closing conditions.

More information about voting and attending the Special Meeting is included in the proxy statement/ prospectus originally filed by INSU II with the SEC on November 27, 2020, as amended, which is available without charge on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Joe Pooler, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, INSU Acquisition Corp.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this press release 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 “will,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” 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, expectations related to the terms and timing of completing the transaction. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of Metromile’s and INSU II’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 and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Metromile and INSU II. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination, including the risk that any required  approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Business Combination or that the approval of the stockholders of INSU II is not obtained; and those factors discussed in INSU II’s final prospectus filed on September 4, 2020,  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended  September 30, 2020 and the Registration Statement, and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus contained therein, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of INSU II filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither INSU II nor Metromile presently know or that INSU II and Metromile 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 INSU II’s and Metromile’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. INSU II and Metromile anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause INSU II’s and Metromile’s assessments to change. However, while INSU II and Metromile may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, INSU II and Metromile specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing INSU II’s and Metromile’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.
