Kin is now poised for rapid growth and
expansion into new markets
Kin Insurance, Inc. (“Kin”), a leading direct-to-consumer
homeowners insurance technology company that has entered into a
definitive business combination agreement with Omnichannel
Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: OCA) (“Omnichannel”), today announced it
has completed the acquisition of an inactive insurance carrier that
holds licenses in 43 states.
Kin, which currently operates in Florida, Louisiana and
California, now has the ability to serve customers in most of the
remaining states in which it does not currently operate, which
constitute, in aggregate, a $110 billion home insurance market. The
newly-acquired carrier, to be renamed the Kin Interinsurance Nexus,
will enable Kin to continue its expansion with a focus on serving
the growing number of catastrophe-prone states where homeowners
need a new option for coverage.
“Kin's advantages are most relevant in the 40% of the country
that is currently catastrophe exposed, including some of our most
populous states,” said Sean Harper, Chief Executive Officer of Kin.
“These new licenses, combined with our best-in-class technology,
will make expanding into those states and offering new products
relatively easy.”
The acquisition builds upon the success of the Kin
Interinsurance Network, a reciprocal exchange where customers,
through their premiums, insure other members and share in the
underwriting profits when there are few losses. Kin recently
announced that 94% of the $91 million it has generated year-to-date
in Total Managed Premium was written through that carrier.
“This was an important step in bringing the future of insurance
to homeowners across the country,” said Chief Insurance Officer
Angel Conlin. “Because of our efficient technology and
direct-to-consumer model, we’ll be able to provide affordable
pricing and essential coverage to vastly more people.”
Kin expects to announce its entry into several new states in the
first half of 2022.
Business Combination Transaction
On July 19, 2021, Kin entered into a business combination
agreement with Omnichannel Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: OCA). The
business combination is expected to close in the first quarter of
2022. Upon closing, the combined public company will be named Kin
Holdings Inc., and its common stock is expected to be listed on the
NYSE under the new ticker symbol “KI”.
