All such parties are collectively referred to herein as the Reporting Persons.

This Amendment No. 7 amends the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on February 9, 2022, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on March 3, 2022, as further amended by the Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022, as further amended by the Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on April 25, 2023, as further amended by the Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024, as further amended by the Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024, and as further amended by the Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on May 7, 2024 (collectively, as amended, the “Schedule 13D”).

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The title and class of equity securities to which the Schedule 13D relates is the Class A Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of EverQuote, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 141 Portland Street, Cambridge, MA 02139.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby revised and supplemented with the following:

(d) – (e) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which he, she or it is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby revised and supplemented with the following:

On June 14, 2024, the Reporting Persons adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (the “2024 Rule 10b5-1 Plan”) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Broker”) intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the sale of up to 2,031,264 shares of the Class A Common Stock. No trading is permitted to occur under the 2024 Rule 10b5-1 Plan until after the later of (i) 90 days following plan adoption or modification, (ii) two business days following the disclosure in certain periodic reports of the Issuer’s financial results for the fiscal quarter in which the plan was adopted or modified (but not to exceed 120 days following plan adoption or modification), or (iii) the trading day after the completion of all sales under the Reporting Person’s Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted on September 5, 2023.

The 2024 Rule 10b5-1 Plan will terminate at the earlier of the execution of all trading orders pursuant to the plan or December 5, 2025.

The 2024 Rule 10b5-1 Plan will not require the Reporting Persons to sell any specific number of shares of Class A Common Stock or at all, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without notice. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual language in the 2024 Rule 10b5-1 Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment No. 7, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
