Hippo Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HIPO) intends to file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a special meeting of stockholders to be held on August 31, 2022. The proxy statement will include a proposal for a reverse stock split at a ratio in the range of 1-for-20 to 1-for-30 and the reduction of the number of authorized shares of capital stock of the company by a corresponding proportion.
The reverse stock split to be proposed to Hippo stockholders in the proxy statement is intended to resolve the issue raised in a non-compliance notice Hippo received from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on July 19, 2022 regarding Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual due to the average closing price of the company’s common stock being less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of Hippo’s common stock on the NYSE.
Hippo can regain compliance at any time within the six-month period following receipt of the NYSE notice if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period the company has a closing price of at least $1.00 per share and an average closing price of at least $1.00 per share over the 30-trading day period ending on the last trading day of that month.
