Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. Announces Exploration of Strategic Alternatives

 

July 26, 2019

 

TAMPA, Fla., July 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –– Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: HIIQ) (“HIIQ” or “the Company”), a leading cloud-based technology platform and distributor of affordable health insurance, life insurance and supplemental plans, today announced that its Board of Directors, working together with its management team and legal and financial advisors, has commenced a process to explore, review, and evaluate a range of potential strategic alternatives focused on maximizing shareholder value. These alternatives could include, among other things, a sale of the Company or a portion thereof, a strategic business combination, changes in the Company’s operations or strategy, or continuing to execute on the Company’s current business plan.

 

“Our Board of Directors is committed to enhancing value for our shareholders, and this review is an important next step for our continued success. We will continue to focus on initiatives that we announced earlier this year that include broadening our product offerings, expanding our market opportunities, further diversifying our business and significantly enhancing our consumer acquisition and engagement capabilities,” said Gavin Southwell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. “Throughout this strategic review process, we will continue to execute on our strategy and remain focused on providing exceptional value to our stakeholders.”

 

The Company’s Board of Directors has not set a timetable for this process nor has it made any decisions related to strategic alternatives at this time, and there can be no assurance that the Board’s exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any change of strategy or transaction being entered into or consummated or, if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms, structure or timing. The Company does not expect to make further public comment regarding these matters unless and until the Board has approved a specific transaction or alternative or otherwise concludes its review of strategic alternatives.

 

HIIQ has retained BofA Merrill Lynch as its financial advisor.

 

As previously announced, HIIQ will announce its second quarter 2019 results on Monday, August 5, 2019, after market close.
