Additionally, Root announced today that it will proceed with a 1-for-18 reverse stock split previously approved by Root stockholders at the annual meeting of shareholders on June 7, 2022. Root plans to file an amendment to its certificate of incorporation that would effectuate the reverse stock split after the close of trading on August 12, 2022, and Root Class A common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on August 15, 2022.

When the reverse stock split is effective, every eighteen shares of Root Class A common stock and Class B common stock issued and outstanding or held as treasury shares as of the effective date will be automatically combined into one share of Root Class A common stock or Class B common stock, respectively. Outstanding equity-based awards, other outstanding equity rights, and the conversion price of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be proportionately adjusted. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split will receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares.

Root Class A common stock will continue trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market but is expected to trade under a new CUSIP number starting on August 15, 2022.

Additional information concerning the reverse stock split can be found in Root’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2022.
