QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is April 14, 2022. You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of record at the close of business on that date, or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote for all matters before the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 567,243,992 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

What is the difference between being a “record holder” and holding the shares in “street name”?

A record holder holds shares in his or her name. Shares held in “street name” means shares that are held in the name of a bank or broker on a person’s behalf.

Am I entitled to vote if my shares are held in street name?

Yes. If your shares are held by a bank or a brokerage firm, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares held in street name. If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being provided to you by your bank or brokerage firm, along with a voting instruction card if you received printed copies of our proxy materials. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares, and the bank or brokerage firm is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. You must follow the instructions from your bank or brokerage firm in order for your shares to be voted. If your shares are held in street name, and you would like to vote your shares online at the Annual Meeting, you must request and obtain a valid proxy from your bank or broker that gives you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Annual Meeting in person or by remote communication, or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote will constitute a quorum.

Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

As part of our effort to maintain a safe and healthy environment for our directors, members of management, and stockholders who wish to attend the Annual Meeting, in light of continuing uncertainty in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, Hippo has decided to hold the Annual Meeting entirely online this year. You may attend and participate in the Annual Meeting by visiting the following website: www.proxydocs.com/HIPO. To attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the control number included in the Internet Notice or on your proxy card. If your shares are held in street name and you wish to attend the Annual Meeting, you should follow the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. The meeting webcast will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Central time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin promptly at 9:45 a.m. Central time, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.

What if a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting?

If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, the person presiding over the Annual Meeting is authorized by our Bylaws to adjourn the meeting, without the vote of stockholders.

What does it mean if I receive more than one Internet Notice or more than one set of proxy materials?

It means that your shares are held in more than one account at the transfer agent and/or with banks or brokers. Please vote all of your shares. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, for each Internet Notice or set

of proxy materials, please submit your proxy by phone, via the Internet, or, if you received printed copies of the proxy materials, by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed envelope.

How do I vote?

Stockholders of Record. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote:

•

by Internet – you can vote over the internet at www.proxydocs.com/HIPO by following the instructions on the Internet Notice or proxy card;

•

by Telephone – you can vote by telephone by calling (866) 670-1140 and following the instructions on the proxy card;

•

by Mail – you can vote by mail by signing, dating and mailing the proxy card, which you may have received by mail; or

•

Electronically at the Annual Meeting – if you attend the Annual Meeting online, you will need the control number included in your Internet Notice or on your proxy card to vote electronically during the meeting.

Internet and telephone voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on June 7, 2022. To participate in the Annual Meeting, including to vote via the Internet or by telephone, you will need the control number included in your Internet Notice or on your proxy card.

Whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting online, we urge you to vote your shares as promptly as possible to ensure your representation and the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. If you submit your proxy, you may still decide to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares electronically.

Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares are held in street name through a bank or broker, you will receive instructions on how to vote from the bank or broker. You must follow their instructions in order for your shares to be voted. If your shares are held in street name, and you would like to vote your shares online at the Annual Meeting, you must request and obtain a valid legal proxy from your bank or broker that gives you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

Can I change my vote after I submit my proxy?

Yes.

If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote:

•

by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date;

•

by granting a subsequent proxy through the Internet or telephone;

•

by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of Hippo prior to the Annual Meeting; or

•

by voting online at the Annual Meeting.

Your most recent proxy card or Internet or telephone proxy is the one that is counted. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting by itself will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Secretary before your proxy is voted or you vote online at the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in street name, you may change or revoke your voting instructions by following the specific directions provided to you by your bank or broker.

Who will count the votes?

A representative of Mediant Communications Inc., our inspector of election, will tabulate and certify the votes.

What if I do not specify how many shares are to be voted?

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors’ recommendations are indicated on pages 6 and 11 of this proxy statement, as well as with the description of each proposal in this proxy statement.

Will any other business be conducted at the Annual Meeting?

Why hold a virtual meeting?

As part of our effort to maintain a safe and healthy environment for our directors, members of management and stockholders who wish to attend the Annual Meeting, in light of continuing uncertainty in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that hosting a virtual meeting this year is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. A virtual meeting also enables increased stockholder attendance and participation because stockholders can participate from any location around the world. You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online and submit your questions by visiting www.proxydocs.com/HIPO. You will also be able to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions above.

What if during the check-in time or during the Annual Meeting I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the virtual meeting website?

We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the Annual Meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual-only Annual Meeting platform, including any difficulties voting or submitting questions, you may call the technical support number that will be posted in an instructional email delivered one hour prior to the meeting’s commencement.

Will there be a question and answer session during the Annual Meeting?

As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a live Q&A session, during which we intend to answer questions submitted online either during or prior to the meeting that are pertinent to the Company and the meeting matters, as time permits. Only stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting by following the procedures outlined above in “Who can attend the Annual Meeting?” will be permitted to submit questions during the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is limited to no more than two questions. Questions should be succinct and only cover a single topic. We will not address questions that are not relevant to the business of the Company or the Annual Meeting or questions that are out of order or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the Annual Meeting as determined by the person presiding over the Annual Meeting or Secretary, in their reasonable judgment.

Additional information regarding the Q&A session will be available in the “Rules of Conduct” available on the Annual Meeting webpage for stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting by following the procedures outlined above in “Who can attend the Annual Meeting?”.

How many votes are required for the approval of the proposals to be voted upon and how will abstentions and broker non-votes be treated?


Proposal	Votes required	Effect of votes withheld / abstentions and broker non-votes
Proposal 1: Election of Directors	The plurality of the votes cast. This means that the three nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class I Directors.	Votes withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect.

Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm	The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast on the matter (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes).	Abstentions will have no effect. We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.

What is a “vote withheld” and an “abstention” and how will votes withheld and abstentions be treated?

A “vote withheld,” in the case of the proposal regarding the election of directors, or an “abstention,” in the case of the proposal regarding the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Votes withheld have no effect on the election of directors. Abstentions have no effect on the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP.

What are broker non-votes and do they count for determining a quorum?

Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker in street name for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. On the other hand, absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on non-routine matters, such as the election of directors. Broker non-votes count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we intend to file with the SEC after the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

We currently have nine directors on our Board. At the Annual Meeting, our three Class I Directors, Eric Feder, Sam Landman, and Noah Knauf, are to be elected to hold office until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2025 and until each such director’s respective successor is duly elected and qualified or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal.

The proposal regarding the election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class I Directors. Votes withheld and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast, and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

As set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is currently divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. The current class structure is as follows: Class I, whose term currently expires at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and whose subsequent term will expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; Class II, whose term will expire at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and whose subsequent term will expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and Class III, whose term will expire at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and whose subsequent term will expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The current Class I directors are Eric Feder, Noah Knauf, and Sam Landman; the current Class II directors are Richard McCathron, Lori Dickerson Fouché, and Hugh R. Frater; and the current Class III directors are Assaf Wand, Sandra Wijnberg, and Amy Errett.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed from time to time by the Board of Directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of our Board of Directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of our Company. Our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company entitled to vote at an election of directors.

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares of common stock represented thereby for the election as a Class I Director of the person whose name and biography appears below. In the event that any of Mr. Feder, Mr. Landman, or Mr. Knauf should become unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, as a director, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors, or the Board may elect to reduce its size. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of Mr. Feder, Mr. Landman, or Mr. Knauf will be unable to serve if elected. Each of Mr. Feder, Mr. Landman, and Mr. Knauf has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected.

Vote Required

Votes withheld and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the below Class I Director nominees.

Nominees For Class I Director (terms to expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting)

The current members of the Board of Directors who are also nominees for election to the Board of Directors as Class I Directors are as follows:

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our Audit, Risk, and Compliance Committee (the “Audit Committee”) has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Our Board has directed that this appointment be submitted to our stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Although ratification of our appointment of Ernst & Young LLP is not required, we value the opinions of our stockholders and believe that stockholder ratification of our appointment is a good corporate governance practice.

Ernst & Young LLP also served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Neither the accounting firm nor any of its members has any direct or indirect financial interest in or any connection with us in any capacity other than as our auditors, providing audit and non-audit related services. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to attend the Annual Meeting and to have an opportunity to make a statement and be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

As previously disclosed in the Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021 (the “Form 8-K/A”), effective August 16, 2021, the Audit Committee approved the dismissal of WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2021. Ernst & Young LLP served as the independent auditor of Old Hippo prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Accordingly, Withum, Reinvent Technology Partners Z’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective upon the completion of their review of the financial statements of Reinvent Technology Partners Z as of and for the period ended June 30, 2021.

The audit report of Withum on Reinvent Technology Partners Z’s financial statements as of December 31, 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and the subsequent interim period through August 16, 2021, there were (i) no disagreements with Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which if not resolved to Withum’s satisfaction, would have caused Withum to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company requested that Withum furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agreed with the statements above, and a copy of Withum’s letter dated August 16, 2021 was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K/A.

In the event that the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP is not ratified by the stockholders, the Audit Committee will consider this fact when it appoints the independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Even if the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee retains the discretion to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change is in the interest of the Company and its stockholders.

Vote Required

This proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the votes cast on the matter (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes). Abstentions are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly,

will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and has discussed these financial statements with our management and with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has also received from, and discussed with, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm various communications that such independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm also provided the Audit Committee with a formal written statement required by PCAOB Rule 3526 (Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence) describing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and the Company, including the disclosures required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company.

Based on its discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FEES AND OTHER MATTERS

The following table summarizes the fees of Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, billed to us for each of the last two fiscal years of audit services, and billed to us in each of the last two fiscal years for other services:


Fee Category	2021		2020
Audit Fees	$	1,592,000	$	947,000
Audit-Related Fees	$	45,000	$	40,000
All Other Fees	$	5,000	$	1,715,000

Total Fees	$	1,642,000	$	2,702,000

Audit Fees

Audit fees consist of professional services rendered for the annual audit of consolidated financial statements, audit of statutory financial statements of subsidiaries and review of quarterly consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The 2020 fees include audit fees for the reissuance of the 2019 audit opinion under PCAOB standards.

Audit-Related Fees

All Other Fees

All other fees consist of accounting research tool subscription fees and review of our Registration Statements and related procedures in connection with the Business Combination.

Audit Committee Pre-Approved Policy and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy (the “Pre-Approval Policy”) that sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor may be pre-approved. The Pre-Approval Policy generally provides that we will not engage Ernst & Young LLP to render any audit, audit-related, tax, or permissible non-audit service unless the service is either (i) explicitly approved by the Audit Committee or the Chair of the Audit Committee (“specific pre-approval”); (ii) entered into pursuant to the pre-approval policies and procedures described in the Pre-Approval Policy (“general pre-approval”); or (iii) provided for as an available exception under SEC rules. Unless a type of service to be provided by Ernst & Young LLP has received general pre-approval under the Pre-Approval Policy or falls within available exceptions under SEC rules, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee or the Chair of the Audit Committee to whom the committee has delegated the authority to grant pre-approvals. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval. For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will also consider whether the independent auditor is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. All such factors will be considered as a whole, and no one factor should necessarily be determinative. On a periodic basis, the Audit Committee reviews and generally pre-approves the services (and related fee levels or budgeted amounts) that may be provided by Ernst & Young LLP without first obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and charters for our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Audit Committee, and Compensation Committee to assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities and to serve as a framework for the effective governance of the Company. You can access our current committee charters, our Corporate Governance Guidelines, and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics in the “Corporate Governance” section under “Governance Documents” on our investor relations website located at https://investors.hippo.com/overview/default.aspx.

Board Composition

Our Board of Directors currently consists of nine members: Assaf Wand, Richard McCathron, Amy Errett, Eric Feder, Lori Dickerson Fouché, Hugh R. Frater, Noah Knauf, Sam Landman, and Sandra Wijnberg. As set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is currently divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board of Directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of our Board of Directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of our Company. Our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Director Independence

Amy Errett, Eric Feder, Hugh R. Frater, Noah Knauf, Sam Landman, Sandra Wijnberg, and Lori Dickerson Fouché each qualify as “independent” in accordance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). In making these determinations, our Board of Directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management, including that Eric Feder and Noah Knauf are affiliated with certain of our significant stockholders. Assaf Wand and Richard McCathron are not independent. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Director Candidates

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is primarily responsible for searching for qualified candidates for election to the Board and filling vacancies on the Board. To facilitate the search process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit current directors and executives of the Company for the names of potentially qualified candidates or ask directors and executives to pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates or consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Once potential candidates are identified, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates’ independence from the Company and potential conflicts of interest, and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for candidates for election as a director.

In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current Board members), the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in recommending candidates to the Board, and the Board, in

approving and recommending for election (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, will consider candidates who have a high level of personal and professional integrity, strong ethics and values, and the ability to make mature business judgments. In evaluating director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board may also consider the following criteria as well as any other factor that they may deem to be relevant: the candidate’s experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; the candidate’s experience as a board member of another publicly held company; the candidate’s professional and academic experience relevant to the Company’s industry; the strength of the candidate’s leadership skills; the candidate’s experience in finance and accounting and / or executive compensation practices; and whether the candidate has the time required for preparation, participation, and attendance at Board meetings and committee meetings, if applicable. In addition, the Board will consider whether there are potential conflicts of interest with the candidate’s other personal and professional pursuits. In addition, the Board monitors the mix of specific experience, qualifications, and skills of its directors in order to assure that the Board, as a whole, has the necessary tools to perform its oversight function effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure. Although the Board does not have a formal written diversity policy with respect to the evaluation of director candidates, in its evaluation of director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider factors including, without limitation, issues of character, integrity, judgment, and diversity, and with respect to diversity, such factors as gender, race, ethnicity, experience, and area of expertise, as well as other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to the total diversity of viewpoints and experience represented on the Board.

Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials, to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Secretary, Hippo Holdings Inc., 150 Forest Ave. Palo Alto, CA 94301. In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates recommended by other sources.

Communications from Interested Parties

Anyone who would like to communicate with, or otherwise make his or her concerns known directly to the chairperson of any of the Committees, or to the non-management or independent directors as a group, may do so by addressing such communications or concerns to the Secretary of Hippo Holdings Inc., c/o Secretary, Hippo Holdings Inc., 150 Forest Ave. Palo Alto, California 94301, who will forward such communications to the appropriate party. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances, and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines provide our Board of Directors with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure would be in the best interests of our Company. Currently, the roles are combined, with Assaf Wand serving as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Our Board has determined that combining the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interests of our Company and its stockholders at this time because it promotes unified leadership by Mr. Wand and allows for a single, clear focus for management to execute the Company’s strategy and business plans. For these reasons and because of the strong leadership of Mr. Wand, our Board has concluded that our current leadership structure is appropriate at this time.

However, our Board of Directors will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that if

the Chairperson of the Board is also a member of management or does not otherwise qualify as an independent director, the independent directors may elect a lead director whose responsibilities include, but are not limited to, presiding over all meetings of the Board at which the Chairperson of the Board is not present, including any executive sessions of the independent directors; approving Board meeting schedules and agendas; and acting as the liaison between the independent directors and the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairperson of the Board, as appropriate. Currently, Ms. Wijnberg serves as our Lead Independent Director.

Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board of Directors encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Throughout the year, senior management reviews the risks facing us with the Board of Directors at regular Board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations or strategies, and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks. The board of directors is responsible for overseeing our risk management process. The board of directors focuses on our general risk management strategy, the most significant risks facing us, and oversees the implementation of risk mitigation strategies by management. Our Audit Committee is also responsible for reviewing and discussing with management our insurance-related and enterprise risk assessment and risk management, as set forth in the Audit Committee Charter. In particular, our Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, including risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our financial and cybersecurity risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and considers and approves or disapproves any related person transactions. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of the Corporate Governance Guidelines. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. The Board does not believe that its role in the oversight of our risks affects the Board’s leadership structure.

Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors

As provided in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the non-management directors meet, without management directors or management present on a regularly scheduled basis, but no less than twice per year. The Company holds an executive session including only independent directors at least once per year. Our Lead Independent Director, Ms. Wijnberg, currently presides over executive sessions.

Code of Ethics

We have a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. We have posted a current copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on our investor relations website, https://investors.hippo.com/overview/default.aspx, in the “Corporate Governance” section under “Governance Documents.” In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or the NYSE rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Our Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading Policy, which applies to all of our directors, officers, and employees. The policy prohibits our directors, officers, and employees and any entities they control from purchasing financial instruments such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities, or that may cause the incentives of an officer, director, or employee to no longer align with the Company’s other stockholders.

Attendance by Members of the Board of Directors at Meetings

There were seven meetings of the Board of Directors (including, prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Board of Directors of Old Hippo) during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) all meetings of the Board of Directors and (ii) all meetings of the committees on which the director served during the period in which he or she served as a director.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which is available on our investor relations website at https://investors.hippo.com/overview/default.aspx, a director is expected to spend the time and effort necessary to properly discharge his or her responsibilities. Accordingly, a director is expected to regularly prepare for and attend meetings of the Board and all committees on which the director sits (including separate meetings of the independent directors), with the understanding that, on occasion, a director may be unable to attend a meeting. A director who is unable to attend a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board is expected to notify the Chairman of the Board or the Chair of the appropriate committee in advance of such meeting, and, whenever possible, participate in such meeting via teleconference in the case of an in-person meeting. We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting; however, we encourage our directors to attend the Annual Meeting.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

Our Board has established three standing committees—(i) Audit, Risk, and Compliance, (ii) Compensation, and (iii) Nominating and Corporate Governance—each of which operates under a written charter that has been approved by our Board.

The members of each of the Board committees and committee Chairpersons are set forth in the following chart.


Name	Audit, Risk, and Compliance	Compensation	Nominating and Corporate Governance
Amy Errett			X
Eric Feder		X
Lori Dickerson Fouche			Chair
Hugh R. Frater	X
Noah Knauf	X	Chair
Sam Landman		X	X
Sandra Wijnberg	Chair		X

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee responsibilities include:

•

appointing, approving the compensation of, and assessing the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm;

•

discussing with Hippo’s independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management;

•

reviewing with Hippo’s independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of their audit;

•

pre-approving all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by Hippo’s independent registered public accounting firm;

•

setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of Hippo’s independent registered public accounting firm;

•

overseeing the financial reporting process and discussing with management Hippo’s independent registered public accounting firm the interim and annual financial statements that Hippo files with the SEC;

•

overseeing Hippo’s risk assessment and risk management, including with respect to the underwriting and pricing of insurable risks, the settlement of claims, the appropriate levels of retained risk and other insurance-related matters;

•

establishing procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by Hippo regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters;

•

reporting regularly to the Hippo board of directors regarding the activities of the Audit Committee;

•

reviewing and monitoring Hippo’s earnings releases, accounting principles, accounting policies, financial and accounting controls, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and

•

periodically reviewing and reassessing the Audit Committee Charter.

The Audit Committee charter is available on our investor relations website at https://investors.hippo.com/overview/default.aspx. The members of the Audit Committee are Sandra Wijnberg,

Hugh R. Frater, and Noah Knauf. Ms. Wijnberg serves as the Chairperson of the committee. Our Board has affirmatively determined that each of Ms. Wijnberg, Mr. Frater, and Mr. Knauf is independent for purposes of serving on an audit committee under Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the NYSE rules, including those related to Audit Committee membership.

The members of our Audit Committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable NYSE rules. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Wijnberg qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Neither Mr. Frater nor Mr. Knauf currently serve on the audit committee of more than three public companies. In addition to Hippo, Ms. Wijnberg serves on the audit committees of Automatic Data Processing, Inc., Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation, and T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. Our Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Wijnberg’s simultaneous service on these committees does not impair her ability to effectively serve on our Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee (including, prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Audit Committee of Old Hippo) met seven times in 2021.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in the discharge of its responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executive officers. In fulfilling its purpose, our Compensation Committee has the following principal duties:

•

reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of Hippo’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluating the performance of Hippo’s Chief Executive Officer in light of these goals and objectives and setting or making recommendations to Hippo’s board of directors regarding the compensation of Hippo’s Chief Executive Officer;

•

reviewing and setting or making recommendations to Hippo’s board of directors regarding the compensation of Hippo’s other executive officers;

•

making recommendations to Hippo’s board of directors regarding the compensation of Hippo’s directors;

•

reviewing and approving or making recommendations to Hippo’s board of directors regarding Hippo’s incentive compensation and equity-based plans and arrangements; and

•

appointing and overseeing any compensation consultants.

Pursuant to the Compensation Committee’s charter, which is available on our investor relations website at https://investors.hippo.com/overview/default.aspx, the Compensation Committee has the authority to retain or obtain advice from compensation consultants, legal counsel or other advisors. In 2021, the Compensation Committee engaged Radford Data & Analytics from Aon (“Radford”), a compensation consulting firm, to assist in making decisions regarding the amount and types of compensation to provide our executive officers and non-employee directors. As part of this process, the Compensation Committee reviewed a compensation assessment provided by Radford comparing our compensation to that of a group of peer companies within our industry and met with Radford to discuss our executive and non-employee director compensation and to receive input and advice. Radford reports directly to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has considered the adviser independence factors required under SEC rules as they relate to Radford and has determined that Radford’s work does not raise a conflict of interest. In addition, the compensation committee evaluated the independence of its other outside advisors to the Compensation Committee, including outside legal counsel, considering the same independence factors and concluded their work for the Compensation Committee does not raise any conflicts of interest. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and NYSE.

Our executive officers submit proposals to our Compensation Committee regarding our executive and director compensation. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Wand, also serves on our board of directors. By serving multiple roles, Mr. Wand is uniquely positioned to help the board and the Compensation Committee in many of its compensation decisions as he possesses detailed knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the company, its business and its industry, which help him to identify the key performance measures and indicators that may be used in setting incentive-based compensation. In his role as our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Wand is also close enough to our day-to-day operations to be able to identify key contributors and top performers within the company, so as to ensure that their compensation accurately reflects their responsibilities, performance, future expectations, and experience levels. While Mr. Wand recuses himself from any Board discussions that involve his own compensation, his recommendations and feedback, along with the feedback and recommendations of our other senior executive officers, are often taken into consideration by our Compensation Committee when setting compensation levels.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, we are not required to make certain disclosures related to executive compensation, such as providing a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section or holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, and we have elected to comply with the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies.

We seek to ensure that the total compensation paid to our executive officers is reasonable and competitive. Compensation of our executives is structured around the achievement of individual performance and near-term corporate targets as well as long-term business objectives.

Our named executive officers, consisting of our principal executive officer and the next two most highly compensated executive officers (the “NEOs”), for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 were:

•

Assaf Wand, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer;

•

Richard McCathron, President; and

•

Stewart Ellis, Chief Financial Officer.

This discussion may include forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations, and determinations regarding future compensation programs.

(1)	From September to December 2021, compensation amounts received in non-U.S. currency have been converted into U.S. dollars using an exchange rate of 3.19 New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) per dollar (which was the average exchange rate for 2021).

(2)

Amounts reported represent the aggregate grant-date fair value of the stock options awarded to the NEOs, calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 17 to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The NEOs will only realize compensation to the extent the trading price of our common stock is greater than the exercise price of such stock options.

(3)

Amounts reported in 2021 represent the aggregate dollar value of the forgiveness of Messrs. Wand’s and Ellis’s loan extended pursuant to that certain Partial Recourse Promissory Note and Stock Pledge Agreement by and between us and the applicable NEO and all interest accrued thereon has been forgiven upon the consummation of the Business Combination. Amounts reported in 2020 represent travel and lodging expenses in connection with Mr. McCathron’s travel from his home office in Austin, Texas to Hippo’s offices in the Bay Area, California.

Elements of the Company’s Executive Compensation Program

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the compensation for each NEO generally consisted of a base salary, standard employee benefits, equity grants, and a retirement plan. We do not provide annual cash bonuses to our NEOs. These elements (and the amounts of compensation and benefits under each element) were selected because we believe they are necessary to help us attract and retain executive talent which is fundamental to our success. Below is a more detailed summary of the current executive compensation program as it relates to our named executive officers.

Base Salaries

The NEOs receive a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to our Company. The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role, and responsibilities. In 2021, Mr. Wand’s base salary was $300,000 (raised to $450,000 in September 2021), Mr. McCathron’s base salary was $350,000 (raised to $450,000 in September 2021), and Mr. Ellis’s base salary was $350,000 (raised to $475,000 in September 2021).

Equity Compensation

We maintain an equity incentive plan, the 2021 Incentive Award Plan, referred to below as the 2021 Plan, in order to facilitate the grant of cash and equity incentives to directors, employees (including our NEOs), and consultants of our company and certain of its affiliates and to enable our company and certain of its affiliates to obtain and retain services of these individuals, which is essential to our long-term success. The 2021 Plan provides our employees (including the named executive officers), consultants, non-employee directors, and other service providers and those of our affiliates the opportunity to participate in the equity appreciation of our business through the receipt of options to purchase shares of our common stock or restricted stock units. We believe that such stock options encourage a sense of proprietorship and stimulate interest in our development and financial success.

Prior to implementing the 2021 Plan, Hippo granted stock options to its employees, including named executive officers, in order to attract and retain them, as well as to align their interest with the interests of Hippo’s stockholders. In order to provide a long-term incentive, these stock options generally vest over four years subject to continued service.

Hippo did not grant any equity awards to Mr. Wand in 2021.

In September 2021, we granted each of Mr. McCathron and Mr. Ellis an option to purchase 633,875 shares of Hippo common stock for an exercise per share of $5.87, which was the fair market value of Hippo’s common stock on the date of grant, as determined by its board of directors. Each option vests and become exercisable in respect of 1/16^th of the total number of shares for each of the first four quarters following the September 15, 2021, and thereafter shall vest and become exercisable in respect of 3/16ths of the remaining four quarters, so that 100% of the shares subject to such option shall be vested on September 15, 2023, subject to the applicable NEO’s continued service with us through the applicable vesting date. In addition, in November 2021, we granted each of Mr. McCathron and Mr. Ellis 345,468 restricted stock units, or RSUs. Each award of restricted stock units vest in 1/16^th of the total number of RSUs for each of the first four quarters following November 15, 2021, and thereafter shall vest in respect of 3/16^ths of the remaining four quarters, so that 100% of the RSUs vest on November 15, 2023, subject to the applicable NEO’s continued service with us through the applicable vesting date.

Other Elements of Compensation

Retirement Plans

Hippo maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan for Hippo employees, including the NEOs, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. The NEOs are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as

other full-time employees. Hippo believes that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings though our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of its executive compensation package and further incentivizes its employees, including the NEOs, in accordance with its compensation policies.

All of Hippo’s full-time employees, including the NEOs, are eligible to participate in Hippo’s health and welfare plans. These health and welfare plans include medical, dental and vision benefits; short-term and long-term disability insurance; and supplemental life and AD&D insurance.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

Hippo determines perquisites on a case-by-case basis and will provide a perquisite to a NEO when it believes it is necessary to attract or retain the NEO. In 2021, Hippo forgave loans (and all interest accrued thereon) that were extended to Mr. Wand and Mr. Ellis pursuant to a Partial Recourse Promissory Note and Stock Pledge Agreement upon the consummation of the Business Combination in the amounts set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. No other additional perquisites were extended to NEOs in 2021.

No Tax Gross-Ups

We do not make gross-up payments to cover our NEOs’ personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the compensation or perquisites paid or provided by us.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Non-Employee Director Compensation Program

On August 2, 2021, we adopted a Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. Hippo has not historically maintained a formal non-employee director compensation program and did not pay any director any cash or grant any equity awards in 2021 prior to the adoption of the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. Pursuant to the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program, our non-employee directors will receive cash compensation as follows:

•

Each non-employee director will receive an annual cash retainer in the amount of $35,000 per year. Lead independent director of the board will receive an additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $22,500 per year for such lead independent director’s service on the board.

•

The chairperson of the audit committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $20,000 per year for such chairperson’s service on the audit committee. Each non-chairperson member of the audit committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $10,000 per year for such member’s service on the audit committee.

•

The chairperson of the compensation committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $12,000 per year for such chairperson’s service on the compensation committee. Each non-chairperson member of the compensation committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $6,000 per year for such member’s service on the compensation committee.

•

The chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $8,000 per year for such chairperson’s service on the nominating and corporate governance committee. Each non-chairperson member of the nominating and corporate governance committee will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $4,000 per year for such member’s service on the nominating and corporate governance committee.

Director fees will be payable in cash in arrears in four equal quarterly installments not later than 30 days following the final day of each calendar quarter, provided that the amount of each payment will be prorated for any portion of a quarter that a director is not serving on our board.

Under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program, each non-employee director will automatically be granted that number of RSUs calculated by dividing (i) $300,000 by (ii) the grant date value upon the director’s initial appointment or election to our board of directors, referred to as the Initial Grant, and that number of RSUs calculated by dividing (i) $150,000 by (ii) the grant date value automatically on the date of each annual stockholder’s meeting thereafter, referred to as the Annual Grant. Each non-employee director who was elected to the board within one year of the date of the Business Combination, subject to the registration of the common stock on a Form S-8, was granted an Initial Grant automatically on the date following the date on which the registration of our common stock on a Form S-8 was effective, subject to the director’s continued service through the date of grant. The Initial Grant will vest as to one-third of the RSUs on each anniversary of the date of grant (or for Initial Grants made effective upon the Form S-8, the date when the director commenced services on the board), subject to continued service through each applicable vesting date. The Annual Grant will vest in full on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the date of grant and (ii) immediately prior to the next annual stockholder’s meeting following the date of grant, subject to continued service through each applicable vesting date. All equity awards held by a director will vest in full upon the consummation of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan).
