ITEM 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 10, 2021, MediaAlpha, Inc. (“MediaAlpha”) issued a press release and an accompanying shareholder letter announcing its financial results as of and for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021. Copies of the press release and shareholder letter are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
MediaAlpha refers to non-GAAP financial information in the press release and shareholder letter. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is contained in each document.
ITEM 7.01 – Regulation FD Disclosure.
As MediaAlpha became eligible to use Form S-3 to register its securities on November 1, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement dated October 27, 2020, by and among MediaAlpha, White Mountains (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l., Insignia QL Holdings, LLC, Insignia A QL Holdings, LLC, Steven Yi, Eugene Nonko, Ambrose Wang and certain other parties thereto (the ”Registration Rights Agreement”), MediaAlpha plans to file a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the offer and sale from time to time of shares of MediaAlpha’s Class A common stock held by parties to the Registration Rights Agreement (or issuable to such parties upon the exchange of Class B-1 Units of QL Holdings, LLC and shares of Class B common stock of MediaAlpha).
MediaAlpha expects such shelf registration statement to cover a total of approximately 35 million shares of Class A common stock, all of which are currently outstanding and held by parties to the Registration Rights Agreement. MediaAlpha is not registering any shares for sale by the Company on a primary basis.
MediaAlpha has not received any request to effect an underwritten offering of the shares to be registered, and the Principal Investors (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) including shares in the shelf registration statement have indicated to MediaAlpha that they have no present intention to sell shares registered under such shelf registration statement at the current share price level. Neither MediaAlpha nor such Principal Investors undertake any duty to notify investors in the event of changes in such intention, or if they become aware of any selling activity, and do not plan on doing so.
This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
