Material Changes and Terms
The transaction significantly alters the Company's debt profile by extending maturities and increasing the coupon rate on the new tranche.

- Conversion Terms: 2030 Notes are convertible into cash, common stock, or a combination at Porch's election. The initial conversion price represents approximately a 60% premium to the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of common stock for the three trading days following May 19, 2025.
- Redemption Rights: The Company may redeem the 2030 Notes on or after November 20, 2026, if the stock price exceeds 120% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a 30-day period.
- Make-Whole Provision: Holders may require repurchase at 100% of principal plus accrued interest upon a "Fundamental Change."

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final closing of the Refinancing Transactions on or before May 27, 2025.
- Confirm the exact initial conversion price once the three-day VWAP following May 19, 2025, is calculated.
- Monitor the Company's ability to service the increased interest expense (9.00% on $134.0 million) versus the previous lower-cost debt.
- Review the full text of the Exchange Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) and Indenture (Exhibit 10.2) for specific covenants and default triggers.
