Use of Proceeds from Initial Public Offering
Our initial public offering of Class A common stock, or the IPO, was effected through a Registration Statement on Form S-1
(File No. 333-225379)
that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on June 27, 2018. The net offering proceeds to us, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, were $48.6 million. None of the net proceeds were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or persons owning 10.0% or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries and to non-employee
directors as compensation for board or board committee service. As of December 31, 2021, we have used all of the net proceeds from our IPO for general corporate purposes, capital expenditures and our acquisitions of Eversurance and PolicyFuel, including $7.0 million to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving line of credit with Western Alliance Bank. There were no material changes in the planned use of IPO proceeds from that described in the final prospectus for the IPO filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on June 28, 2018.
