Combined Company Named Doma Holdings, Inc. Will Trade on the NYSE Under DOMA

Doma Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as States Title Holding, Inc.) (“Doma”), a leading force for disruptive change in the real estate industry, and Capitol Investment Corp. V (NYSE: CAP) (“Capitol”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, today completed their previously announced business combination.

Today’s milestone is a testament to Doma’s impressive growth to date and the strength of our business. We look forward to this next phase as a public company.”
