Item 8.01 Other Events

 

A total of 29,484,128 shares of Capitol Class A Common Stock were presented for redemption in connection with the Special Meeting (the “Redemptions”).

 

The Merger Agreement provides that Doma’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (but not Capitol’s) is conditioned on, among other things, a requirement (the “Minimum Cash Condition”) that the cash and cash equivalents of Capitol and its subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (the “Available New Doma Cash”), including (i) the cash available to be released from Capitol’s trust account following the Redemptions, (ii) the proceeds actually received by Capitol in the PIPE Financing (as defined in the Definitive Proxy) and (iii) cash and cash equivalents of Capitol and its subsidiaries held outside of Capitol’s trust account is equal to or greater than $450,000,000 (the “Minimum Available Cash Amount”). As a result of the Redemptions, there is approximately $350 million of Available New Doma Cash. Doma in its sole discretion is expected to waive the failure to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition.

 

 

Though not guaranteed, Capitol expects to close the Business Combination on July 28, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions, and for the New Doma common stock and warrants to begin publicly trading on the NYSE under the new symbols “DOMA” and “DOMA.WS,” respectively, on July 29, 2021.

 

Forward-Looking Statements Legend

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity, total addressable market (“TAM”), market share and competition and potential benefits of the transactions described herein, and expectations related to the terms and timing of the transactions described herein. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of Doma’s and Capitol’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict, will differ from assumptions and are beyond the control of Doma and Capitol.

 

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the transactions described herein; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the transactions described herein; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Doma; future global, regional or local economic, political, market and social conditions, including due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations, including with respect to the title insurance industry; Doma’s ability to manage its future growth or to develop or acquire enhancements to its platform; the effects of competition on Doma’s future business; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; and those other factors included in Capitol’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated December 1, 2020 (File No. 333-249297) and the Definitive Proxy under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents Capitol filed, or will file, with the SEC.

 

If any of these risks materialize or Doma’s or Capitol’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Doma nor Capitol presently know or that Doma or Capitol currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Doma’s and Capitol’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Doma and Capitol anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Doma’s and Capitol’s assessments to change. However, while Doma and Capitol may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Doma and Capitol specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Doma’s and Capitol’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
