NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clover Health Investments, Corp. (Nasdaq: CLOV), (“Clover Health” or “the Company”), an innovative technology company committed to improving health equity for America’s underserved seniors, today announced that the Company has extended the period during which the holders of the Company’s public warrants may exercise such warrants to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on September 9, 2021 (the “New Redemption Date”). Over 90% of the public warrants have already been exercised, and the Company, in an act of good faith, has decided to change the redemption date for the public warrants in order to provide investors with additional time to exercise the remaining outstanding warrants.

On July 22, 2021, the Company announced it would redeem all of its outstanding public warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that were issued under the Warrant Agreement, dated April 21, 2020, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”), as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and that remained outstanding on the redemption date for a redemption price of $0.10 per Public Warrant. In addition, the Company announced that it would redeem all of its outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock that were issued under the Warrant Agreement in a private placement simultaneously with the IPO on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants. The private warrants were exercised on or before the redemption date.The public warrants may be exercised by the holders thereof until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the New Redemption Date to purchase fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock underlying such warrants. Payment upon exercise of the Warrants may be made either (i) in cash, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share of Common Stock or (ii) on a “cashless basis” in which the exercising holder will receive a number of shares of Common Stock to be determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement and based on the redemption date and the volume weighted average price (the “Fair Market Value”) of the Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption was sent to holders of warrants. The Company previously informed holders of the Fair Market Value, which was determined by the Company to result in holders who choose to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis receiving 0.249 shares of Common Stock per warrant.

Any warrants that remain unexercised at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the New Redemption Date will be void and no longer exercisable, and the holders of those warrants will be entitled to receive only the redemption price of $0.10 per warrant.

None of the Company, its board of directors or any of its employees have made or are making any representation or recommendation to any holder of the warrants as to whether to exercise or refrain from exercising any warrants.

The shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants have been registered by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are covered by a registration statement filed on Form S-1 with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration No. 333-252073). The SEC maintains an internet website that contains a copy of this prospectus. The address of that site is www.sec.gov.
