SelectQuote, Inc. Announces Special Meeting to Approve Reverse Stock Split

SelectQuote, Inc. (NYSE: SLQT) (the “Company”) announced today that it plans to hold a special meeting of stockholders to seek approval to amend the Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect, at the discretion of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). Holders of record of the Common Stock as of the close of business on January 11, 2023 will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting, which is scheduled to be held on March 2, 2023. The time, location, and other details regarding the special meeting, including the ratio or range of ratios at which the reverse stock split may be effected, will be communicated to stockholders at a later date via proxy materials that will be filed with, and subject to review by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The reverse stock split would not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest or proportionate voting power, except to the extent that it results in a stockholder receiving cash or other consideration in lieu of a fractional share, and would have no impact on the Company’s business operations or any of its outstanding indebtedness. The Board may revoke the proposal and cancel the special meeting at any time if it determines that the reverse stock split is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Even if the meeting occurs and the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is approved, the Board may delay or abandon the reverse stock split at any time prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split if the Board determines that the reverse stock split is no longer in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders.
