CHICAGO, IL – January 20, 2022 – Kin Insurance, Inc. (“Kin” or the “Company”), a leading
direct-to-consumer homeowners insurance technology company that has entered into a
definitive business combination agreement with Omnichannel Acquisition Corp. (NYSE:OCA)
(“Omnichannel”), today announced select preliminary operating results through the fourth
quarter ended December 31, 2021:
● Kin finished 2021 with $104.8 million in Total Managed Premium1, four times higher than
the $25.0 million of Total Managed Premium at the end of 2020.
● $99.2 million (95%) of Total Managed Premium in 2021 was written through the Kin
Interinsurance Network (the “Carrier”), a reciprocal exchange managed by Kin
Insurance, Inc.
● Premium Renewal Rate2 on the Carrier remained strong at 102% in December 2021,
increasing the Premium Renewal Rate to 97% in 2021, a 400 basis point increase over

“Kin achieved several remarkable milestones in 2021 – we exceeded our annual goal for total
managed premium by 7%, increased our premium renewal rate to 97%, and tripled the number
of customers we serve,” said Sean Harper, Chief Executive Officer of Kin. “These results
differentiate our business model and signal that our value proposition continues to resonate with
people who want more simplicity and customization when it comes to securing essential and
affordable coverage.”
“Kin is winning with fast growth, great unit economics, and loyal customers,” said Josh Cohen,
Chief Financial Officer of Kin. “We’re equally, if not more excited, about our future growth
trajectory as we plan to expand into more geographic markets that will help us reach a larger
portion of the approximate $110 billion aggregate home insurance market.”
