• Metromile’s SPAC merger will have it taking over Insu Acquisition, which will change its name to the former’s once complete.
• This merger will also result in shares of INAQ stock undergoing a ticker change and becoming shares of MLE stock.
• The merger deal implies a pro forma enterprise value at closing of $956 million for the company.

• It will also net Metromile $294 million in cash to work with once the deal is done.
• Dan Preston, the current CEO of Metromile, will continue to lead it after the SPAC merger is complete.
• The deal still needs to complete customary closing conditions, such as getting approval from shareholders.
• As long as there are no troubles, the SPAC merger is set to close in the first quarter of 2021.
• Investors eyeing the company ahead of the merger will note that it has a 76% average annual premium growth rate from 2015 to 2019.
• It’s also worth mentioning that it’s the largest pay-per-mile insurer in the U.S.
