CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements contained in this document other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations, financial position, market size and opportunity, our business strategy and plans, the factors affecting our performance and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "should," "would," "can," "expect," "project," "outlook," "forecast," "objective," "plan," "potential," "seek," "grow," "target," "if," and the negative or plural of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the risk factors described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this document may not occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this document involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, risks related to:
•our expectations regarding results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows;
•our expectations regarding the development and expansion of our Insurance and Non-Insurance businesses;
•our ability to successfully enter new service markets and manage our operations;
•anticipated trends and challenges in our business and in the markets in which we operate;
•our ability to expand our beneficiary base and provider network;
•our ability to maintain and increase adoption and use of Clover Assistant;
•the anticipated benefits associated with the use of Clover Assistant, including our ability to utilize the platform to manage our medical care ratios;
•our ability to develop new features and functionality that meet market needs and achieve market acceptance;
•our ability to retain and hire necessary employees and staff our operations appropriately;
•the timing and amount of certain investments in growth;
•the effect of uncertainties related to the global COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, and financial condition;
•the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings;
•any current, pending, or future legislation, regulations or policies that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses, including rules, regulations, and policies relating to healthcare and Medicare;
•our ability to maintain or improve our Star Ratings or otherwise continue to improve the financial performance of our business;
•fluctuations in the price of our Class A common stock and our compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements
•our ability to maintain, protect, and enhance our intellectual property;
•general economic conditions and uncertainty, including the societal and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants;
•inflation; and
•geopolitical uncertainty and instability.
We caution you that the foregoing list of judgments, risks, and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements may not be complete. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur or may be materially different from what we expect. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this document or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.
This document contains estimates, projections, and other information concerning our industry, our business, and the markets for our products. We obtained the industry, market, and similar data set forth in this document from our own internal estimates and research and from industry research, publications, surveys, and studies conducted by third parties, including governmental agencies, and such information is inherently subject to uncertainties. Actual events or circumstances may differ materially from events and circumstances that are assumed in this information. You are cautioned not to give undue weight to any such information, projections, or estimates.
As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including without limitation, the important factors described in our reports filed with the SEC, including the discussion under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

CLOVER HEALTH INVESTMENTS, CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Operations
Clover Health Investments, Corp. (collectively with its affiliates and subsidiaries, "Clover" or the "Company") is focused on empowering physicians to identify and manage chronic diseases early. Clover has centered its strategy on building and deploying technology through its flagship software platform, Clover Assistant, to help America's seniors receive better care at lower costs.
Clover aims to provide affordable, high-quality Medicare Advantage plans, including Preferred Provider Organization ("PPO") and Health Maintenance Organization ("HMO") plans, through its regulated insurance subsidiaries. The Company's regulated insurance subsidiaries consist of Clover Insurance Company and Clover HMO of New Jersey Inc., which operate the Company's PPO and HMO health plans, respectively. On April 1, 2021, the Company's subsidiary, Clover Health Partners, LLC ("Health Partners"), began participating as a Direct Contracting Entity ("DCE") in the Global and Professional Direct Contracting Model ("DC Model") of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, through which the Company provides care to aligned Original Medicare beneficiaries (the "Non-Insurance Beneficiaries"). CMS redesigned the DC Model and renamed it the Accountable Care Organization ("ACO") Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health ("REACH") ("ACO REACH Model" or "ACO REACH") Model effective January 1, 2023. Medical Service Professionals of NJ, LLC, houses Clover's employed physicians and the related support staff for Clover's in-home care program. Clover's administrative functions and insurance operations are primarily operated by its Clover Health, LLC and Clover Health Labs, LLC subsidiaries.
Clover's approach is to combine technology, data analytics, and preventive care to lower costs and increase the quality of health and life of Medicare beneficiaries. Clover's technology platform is designed to use machine learning-powered systems to deliver data and insights to physicians in order to improve outcomes for beneficiaries and drive down costs. Clover's MA plans generally provide access to a wide network of primary care providers, specialists, and hospitals, enabling its members to see any doctor participating in Medicare willing to accept them. Clover focuses on minimizing members' out-of-pocket costs and offers many plans that allow members to pay the same co-pays for primary care provider visits regardless of whether their physician is in- or out-of-network. Through its Non-Insurance operations, the Company assumes full risk (i.e., 100.0% shared savings and shared losses) for the total cost of care of aligned Non-Insurance Beneficiaries, empowers providers with Clover Assistant, and offers a variety of programs aimed at reducing expenditures and preserving or enhancing the quality of care for Non-Insurance Beneficiaries. For additional information related to the Company's Non-Insurance operations, see Note 15 (Non-Insurance) in these financial statements.
For additional information, see Note 1 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Form 10-K").
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The Company's interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the Company has made all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and its results of operations for the interim periods presented. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidating these financial statements. Investments over which we exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for using the applicable accounting treatment based on the nature of the investment. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in the 2022 Form 10-K.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.
The area involving the most significant use of estimates is the amount of incurred but not reported claims. Many factors can cause actual outcomes to deviate from these assumptions and estimates, such as changes in economic conditions, changes in government healthcare policy, advances in medical technology, changes in treatment patterns, and changes in average lifespan. Accordingly, the Company cannot determine with precision the ultimate amounts that it will pay for, or the timing of payment of actual claims, or whether the assets supporting the liabilities will grow to the level the Company assumes prior to payment of claims. If the Company's
actual experience is different from its assumptions or estimates, the Company's reserves may prove inadequate. As a result, the Company would incur a charge to operations in the period in which it determines such a shortfall exists, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition. Other areas involving significant estimates include risk adjustment provisions related to Medicare contracts and the valuation of the Company's investment securities, goodwill and other intangible assets, reinsurance, premium deficiency reserve, warrants, embedded derivative related to convertible securities, stock-based compensation, recoveries from third parties for coordination of benefits, ACO REACH Benchmark, specifically cost trend and risk score estimates that can develop over time, and final determination of medical cost adjustment pools.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior years' Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation, primarily related to Non-Insurance receivable, Other assets, current, and Performance year obligation. In addition amounts in the prior years' Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to confirm with the current year's presentation related to cash used by Performance year obligation.
Change in Accounting Policy
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company changed the method for determining premium deficiency reserves whereby anticipated net investment income is now included in the determination of premium deficiency reserves. The accounting policy election to include net investment income is preferable because it provides a better representation of the Company’s business model reflecting the fact that all cash flows, including investment income, are used to meet the Company’s obligations. The Company also believes that this change improves comparability with industry peers. This change is considered a change in accounting principle that requires retrospective application to all financial statement periods presented. This change decreased Accumulated deficit by $0.7 million to $1,616 million at January 1, 2022.
The effect of the changes made to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income was as follows:

Equity method of accounting and variable interest entities
Investments in entities in which the Company does not have control but its ownership falls between 20.0% and 50.0%, or it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
The Company continuously assesses its partially-owned entities to determine if these entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs") and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and, therefore, required to consolidate the VIE. To make this determination, the Company applies a qualitative approach to determine whether the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the rights to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to that VIE. If the Company has an interest in a VIE but is determined to not be the primary beneficiary, the Company accounts for the interest under the equity method of accounting.
When the Company's carrying value in an equity method investee company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements unless the Company guaranteed obligations of the investee company or has committed additional funding. When the investee company subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.
Segment information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has two reporting segments: Insurance and Non-Insurance.
Performance guarantees
In April 2021, the Company began participating in the DC Model of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"), which utilizes a structured model intended to reduce expenditures and preserve or enhance quality of care for beneficiaries in Medicare fee-for-service ("FFS"). CMS redesigned the DC Model and renamed the model the ACO Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (REACH) Model ("ACO REACH Model") effective January 1, 2023. As a participating entity in the DC Model, referred to as the ACO REACH Model at January 1, 2023, with a global risk arrangement, the Company assumes the responsibility of guaranteeing the performance of its care network. The ACO REACH Model is intended to reduce the administrative burden, support a focus on complex, chronically ill patients, and encourage physician organizations that have not typically participated in Medicare FFS to serve beneficiaries in Medicare FFS. The Company's operations in connection with both the DC Model and ACO REACH Model are included in the Non-Insurance operating segment. See Note 16 (Operating Segments) for additional information.
Certain of the Company's arrangements with third-party providers require it to guarantee the performance of its care network to CMS. As a result of the Company's participation in the DC Model, the Company determined that it was making a performance guarantee with respect to providers under the Non-Insurance arrangement that should be recognized in the financial statements. The performance guarantee identified relates to the Company guaranteeing the performance of the third-party medical providers. Thus, the contract with CMS is accounted for as a performance guarantee under ASC 460-Guarantees. At the inception of the performance year, the Company measures and recognizes the performance guarantee receivable and obligation, issued in this standalone arm's length transaction, using the practical expedient to fair value as set forth in ASC 460-10-30-2(a). The Company estimates the annualized benchmark, which is the amount recognized in both the Non-Insurance performance year receivable and the Non-Insurance performance year obligation, current. This is consistent with ASC 460-10-25-4, which provides that a guarantor shall recognize in its statement of financial position a liability for that guarantee. In addition, when the guarantee is issued in a standalone transaction for a premium, the offsetting entry should be considered received (such as cash or a receivable) according to ASC 460-10-25-4. Thus the Company recognizes the Non-Insurance performance year receivable on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.
To subsequently measure and recognize the performance guarantee, the Company follows ASC 460-10-35-2(b) and applies a systematic and rational approach to reflect its release from risk. Under this approach, the Company amortizes on a straight-line basis over the performance year, the obligation. The Company has determined this systematic and rational method is appropriate, as it matches the period in which the guarantee is fulfilled. In addition, ASC 460-10-35-2 provides further guidance on the subsequent measurement related to the Company's performance guarantee. Per ASC 460-10-35-2, depending on the nature of the guarantee, the guarantor's release from risk typically can be recognized over the term of the guarantee using one of three methods: (1) upon expiration or settlement, (2) by systematic or rational amortization, or (3) as the fair value of the guarantee changes. The Company has determined that method (2) is the appropriate method of recognition as discussed above.
With respect to each performance year in which the DCE is a participant, the final consideration due to the DCE from CMS ("shared savings") or the consideration due to CMS from the DCE ("shared loss") is reconciled in the subsequent years following the performance year. The shared savings or loss is measured periodically and will be applied to the Non-Insurance performance obligation, current or Non-Insurance performance receivable if the Company is in a probable loss position or probable savings position, respectively.
Capitalized software development costs - cloud computing arrangements
The Company's cloud computing arrangements are mostly comprised of hosting arrangements that are service contracts, whereby the Company gains remote access to use enterprise software hosted by the vendor or another third party on an as-needed basis for a period of time in exchange for a subscription fee. Implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements are capitalized if certain criteria are met and consist of internal and external costs directly attributable to developing and configuring cloud computing software for its intended use. These capitalized implementation costs are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid expenses, and are generally amortized over the fixed, non-cancelable term of the associated hosting arrangement on a straight-line basis.
Deferred acquisition costs
Acquisition costs directly related to the successful acquisition of new business, which are primarily made up of commissions costs, are deferred and subsequently amortized. Deferred acquisition costs are recorded within Other assets, current on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized over the estimated life of the related contracts. The amortization of deferred acquisition costs is recorded within General and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no deferred acquisition costs as a result of the acceleration of amortization for deferred acquisition costs due to the recognition of a premium deficiency reserve. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, charges related to deferred acquisition costs of $3.9 million, and $11.8 million, respectively, were recognized within General and administrative expenses.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-12, Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts, which was subsequently amended by ASU 2019-09, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Effective Date and ASU 2020-11, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Effective Date and Early Application. ASU 2020-11 was issued in consideration of the implications of COVID-19 and to provide transition relief and additional time for implementation by deferring the effective date by one year. The amendments in ASU 2018-12 make changes to a variety of areas to simplify or improve the existing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for long-duration contracts issued by an insurance entity. The amendments require insurers to annually review the assumptions they make about their policyholders and update the liabilities for future policy benefits if the assumptions change. The amendments also simplify the amortization of deferred acquisition costs and add new disclosure requirements about the assumptions used to measure liabilities and the potential impact to future cash flows. The amendments related to the liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited-payment contracts and deferred acquisition costs are to be applied to contracts in force at the beginning of the earliest period presented, with an option to apply such amendments retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the earliest period presented. The amendments for market risk benefits are to be applied retrospectively. ASU 2020-11 is effective for public entities for periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2018-12 and related amendments did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Accounting pronouncements effective in future periods
None.

The Company did not record any credit allowances for debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
At March 31, 2023, all securities were investment grade, with credit ratings of BBB+ or higher by S&P Global or as determined by other credit rating agencies within the Company's investment policy. Unrealized losses on investment grade securities are principally related to changes in interest rates or changes in issuer or sector related credit spreads since the securities were acquired. The gross unrealized investment losses at March 31, 2023, were assessed, based on, among other things:
•The relative magnitude to which fair values of these securities have been below their amortized cost was not indicative of an impairment loss;
•The absence of compelling evidence that would cause the Company to call into question the financial condition or near-term prospects of the issuer of the applicable security; and
•The Company's ability and intent to hold the applicable security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery.
Proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities, inclusive of Short-term investments, and related gross realized gains (losses) which are included within Other income within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

7. Unpaid Claims
Activity within the liability for Unpaid claims, including claims adjustment expenses, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Three Months Ended March 31, | | 2023 | | 2022 |
| | (in thousands) |
| | | | |
Gross and net balance, beginning of period (1) | | $ | 137,395 | | | $ | 136,137 | |
Incurred related to: | | | | |
Current year | | 272,258 | | | 272,151 | |
Prior years | | 804 | | | (7,056) | |
Total incurred | | 273,062 | | | 265,095 | |
Paid related to: | | | | |
Current year | | 167,360 | | | 164,034 | |
Prior years | | 104,581 | | | 84,180 | |
Total paid | | 271,941 | | | 248,214 | |
| | | | |
Gross and net balance, end of period (1)(2) | | $ | 138,516 | | | $ | 153,018 | |
(1) Includes amounts due to related parties.
(2) Differs from the total Unpaid claims amount reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the fact the figure here excludes unpaid claims for the Company's Non-Insurance operations of $4.1 million and $13.2 million at March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company uses a variety of standard actuarial techniques to establish unpaid claims reserves. Management estimates are supported by the Company's actuarial analysis. The Company utilizes an internal actuarial team to review the adequacy of unpaid claim and unpaid claim adjustment expense. The estimation of claim costs is inherently difficult and requires significant judgment. The estimation has considerable inherent variability and can fluctuate significantly depending upon several factors, including medical cost trends and claim payment patterns, general economic conditions, and regulatory changes. The time value of money is not taken into account for the purposes of calculating the liability for unpaid claims. Management believes that the current reserves are adequate based on currently available information.
Unpaid Claims for Insurance Operations
Unpaid claims for Insurance operations were $138.5 million at March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, $104.6 million was paid for incurred claims attributable to insured events of prior years. An unfavorable development of $0.8 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulting from the Company's actual experience with claims developing differently as compared to the Company's estimates at December 31, 2022. A favorable development of $7.1 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022, resulting from the Company's actual experience with claims developing differently as compared to the Company's estimates at December 31, 2021. Original estimates are increased or decreased, as additional information becomes known regarding individual claims. The ratio of current year medical claims paid as a percentage of current year Net medical claims incurred was 61.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 60.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This ratio serves as an indicator of claims processing speed, indicating that claims were processed at a faster rate during the three months ended March 31, 2023, than during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
8. Letter of Credit
On April 19, 2018, the Company entered into a secured letter of credit agreement (the "Letter") required for its subsidiary, Clover HMO of New Jersey Inc., for an aggregate amount of up to $2.5 million.

The Company had 5,006,473 and 2,072,752 shares held in treasury at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These amounts represent shares withheld to cover taxes upon vesting of employee stock-based awards.
At March 31, 2023, the Company was authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share, and the Company's Board has the authority to determine the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares.

10. Variable Interest Entity and Equity Method of Accounting
On February 4, 2022, Character Biosciences, Inc. (f/k/a Clover Therapeutics Company) ("Character Biosciences"), an affiliate of the Company, completed a private capital transaction in which it raised $17.9 million from the issuance of 16,210,602 shares of its preferred stock. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company owned approximately 25.46% of Character Biosciences. As a result, the Company reassessed its interest in Character Biosciences and determined that while Character Biosciences is a VIE, the Company is not considered as the primary beneficiary of the VIE because it does not have the power, through voting or similar rights and the license agreements, to direct the activities of Character Biosciences that most significantly impact Character Biosciences' economic performance.
The Company determined that it does have a significant influence over Character Biosciences and, therefore, it began accounting for its common stock investment in Character Biosciences using the equity method on February 4, 2022. The Company derecognized all of Character Biosciences' assets and liabilities from its balance sheet and its noncontrolling interest related to Character Biosciences, and recognized the retained common stock and preferred stock equity interests at fair values of $3.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, which are included in Equity method investment and Other assets, non-current on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and recognized a gain of $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which is included within Gain on investment on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
As the Company applies the equity method to account for its common stock interest in Character Biosciences, the initial value of the investment is adjusted periodically to recognize (i) the proportionate share of the investee's net income or losses after the date of investment, (ii) additional contributions made and dividends or distributions received, and (iii) impairment losses resulting from adjustments to net realizable value. The Company eliminates all intercompany transactions in accounting for equity method investments and records the proportionate share of the investee's net income or loss in equity within gain on investment on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
With respect to the Company's preferred stock equity interest in Character Biosciences, the Company elected the measurement alternative to value this equity investment without a readily determinable fair value in accordance with ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities. The carrying amount of the investment is included within Other assets, non-current in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with ASC 321, for each reporting period, the Company completes a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether the investment is impaired.
In accordance with ASC 323, the Company recognized the proportionate share of Character Bioscience's net losses up to the investment carrying amount, at December 31, 2022, the Company discontinued applying the equity method to account for its common stock interest in Character Biosciences as the Company's net losses exceeded the Company's investment carrying amount. The equity method investment in Character Biosciences was reduced to zero and no further losses were recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements as the Company did not guarantee obligations of the investee company nor has not committed additional funding. The Company will begin recognizing its share of net income only when it is greater than the cumulative net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended.
On January 23, 2023, Character Biosciences, completed a second private capital transaction in which it raised an additional capital from the issuance of additional shares of its preferred stock. Upon completion of this transaction, the Company's ownership percentage in Character Biosciences decreased to 23.92%.
11. Employee Benefit Plans
Employee Retirement Savings Plan
The Company has a defined contribution retirement savings plan (the "401(k) Plan") covering eligible employees, which includes safe harbor matching contributions based on the amount of employees' contributions to the 401(k) Plan. The Company contributes to the 401(k) Plan annually 100.0% of the first 4.0% compensation that is contributed by the employee up to 4.0% of eligible annual compensation after one year of service. The Company's service contributions to the 401(k) Plan amounted to approximately $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included within Salaries and benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company's cash match is invested pursuant to the participant's contribution direction. Employer contributions are immediately 100.0% vested.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") provides for grants of restricted stocks units ("RSUs") and options to acquire shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to employees, directors, officers, and consultants of the Company, and the Company's 2020 Management Incentive Plan (the "2020 MIP") provides for grants of RSUs to our Executive Chair and CEO. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company approved the 2020 Plan and the 2020 MIP, and the Company's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") was terminated. On March 9, 2022, the Board adopted the 2022 Inducement Award Plan (the "Inducement Plan" and, collectively with the 2020 Plan, the 2020 MIP, and the 2014 Plan, the "Plans") and reserved 11,000,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance under the Inducement Plan. The Inducement Plan was adopted by the Board without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, awards under the Inducement Plan may be made only to an employee who has not previously been an employee or member of the Board, or following a bona fide period of non-employment, if he or she is granted such award in connection with his or her commencement of employment with the Company, and such grant is an inducement material to his or her entering into employment with the Company.
The 2020 Plan has an evergreen provision that requires the number of shares available for issuance under the plan to be increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year and ending on (and including) the last day of the 2024 fiscal year, in each case, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) seven percent (7%) of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined by the Board; provided that for each fiscal year beginning with the 2025 fiscal year through the fiscal year that includes the expiration date of the plan, each such increase shall be reduced to the lesser of five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year or such number of shares determined by the Board.
The maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock reserved for issuance over the term of the Plans, shares outstanding under the Plans, and shares remaining under the Plans at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
March 31, 2023 | | Shares Authorized Under Plans | | Shares Outstanding Under Plans | | Shares Remaining Under Plans |
2014 Plan | | 54,402,264 | | | 35,353,101 | | | N/A |

Inducement Plan | | 11,000,000 | | | 11,000,000 | | | — | |
The Plans are administered by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"). The options are subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Plans, as described in the applicable Plan and the applicable stock option grant agreement. The exercise prices, vesting, and other restrictions applicable to the stock options are determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, except that the exercise price per share of incentive stock options may not be less than 100.0% of the fair value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Stock options awarded under the Plans expire 10 years after the grant date. Incentive stock options and non-statutory options granted to employees, directors, officers, and consultants of the Company typically vest over four or five years. RSU awards are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plans and the applicable RSU grant agreement. Vesting and other restrictions applicable to RSU awards are determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The number of shares of common stock subject to an RSU award is determined by dividing the cash value of an RSU award by the average closing price of a share of the Company's Class A common stock over a specified period through the date of grant, and such awards typically vest over four years from the grant date. The total estimated fair value is amortized as an expense over the requisite service period as approved by the Compensation Committee.
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for options, RSUs, and restricted units with performance-based vesting ("PRSUs") granted under the Plans, the Inducement Plan, and discounts offered in connection with the Company's 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") of $38.6 million and $40.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and such expenses are presented within Salaries and benefits in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Compensation cost presented within Salaries and benefits within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Three Months Ended March 31, | | 2023 | | 2022 | | |
| | (in thousands) |
Stock options | | $ | 1,341 | | | $ | 1,304 | | | |
RSUs | | 21,000 | | | 16,915 | | | |
PRSUs | | 16,195 | | | 22,361 | | | |
ESPP | | 81 | | | 60 | | | |
Total compensation cost recognized for stock-based compensation plans | | $ | 38,617 | | | $ | 40,640 | | | |
At March 31, 2023, there was approximately $507.5 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, RSUs, PRSUs, and the ESPP, estimated to be recognized over a period of 4 years. The Company recognized $16.2 million and $22.4 million in share-based compensation related to PRSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has granted PRSUs to certain executives, which become eligible to vest if prior to the vesting date the average closing price of one share of the Company's common stock for 90 consecutive days equals or exceeds a specified price (the "Market PRSUs"). The expense referenced above is mainly attributable to Market PRSUs that vest based on pre-established milestones including Company performance. These milestones primarily consist of the volume-weighted average stock closing price ranging from $20 to $30 for 90 consecutive days. The grant date fair value of the Market PRSUs is recognized as expense over the vesting period under the accelerated attribution method and is not adjusted in future periods for the success or failure to achieve the specified market condition. At March 31, 2023, the market condition component of these awards has not been met, so the awards have not been earned. This expense represents more than 40% of the total compensation cost recognized for stock-based compensation plans presented within Salaries and benefits within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Stock Options
There were no stock options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
A summary of option activity under the 2020 Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

A summary of option activity under the 2014 Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of options | | Weighted-average exercise price |
Outstanding, January 1, 2023 | 25,631,685 | | | $ | 2.35 | |

Exercised | (1,240) | | | 1.52 | |
Forfeited | (1,024,215) | | | 2.24 | |
Outstanding, March 31, 2023 | 24,606,230 | | | $ | 2.71 | |
The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the fair value of the Company's common stock for those stock options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of the Company's common stock.
At March 31, 2023, outstanding stock options, substantially all of which are expected to vest, had an aggregate intrinsic value of $507.5 million, and a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 4 years. At March 31, 2023, there were 22,138,777 options exercisable under the Plan, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $0.1 million, a weighted-average exercise price of $2.88 per share, and a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 5.96 years. The total value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, was none and $39.8 million, respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, was none and $6.4 million, respectively.
Pursuant to the terms of the applicable Plan and stock option award agreement, employees may exercise options at any time after grant while maintaining the original vesting period. The proceeds from exercise of unvested options are recorded as a liability until the option vests at which time the liability is reclassified to equity. If the employee terminates or otherwise forfeits an unvested option that has been exercised early, the Company must redeem those shares at the original exercise price and remit payment of the forfeited portion of shares back to the employee.

Performance Restricted Stock Units
Additionally, the Company has granted PRSUs that vest based on pre-established milestones including Company performance. The grant date fair value of the Market PRSUs is recognized as expense over the vesting period under the accelerated attribution method and is not adjusted in future periods for the success or failure to achieve the specified market condition. The Company has also determined the requisite service period for the PRSUs with multiple performance conditions to be the longest of the explicit, implicit, or derived service period for each tranche.
The grant date fair value of Market PRSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that incorporated multiple valuation assumptions, including the probability of achieving the specified market condition and the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | |
Three months ended March 31, 2023 | | |
Expected volatility (1) | | 40.7 | % |
Risk-free interest rate (2) | | 0.5 | |
Dividend yield (3) | | — | |
(1) Expected volatility is based on a blend of peer group company historical data adjusted for the Company's leverage.
(2) Risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasury yields with a term equal to the remaining Performance Period at the grant date.
(3) Dividend yield was assumed to be zero as the Company does not anticipate paying dividends.

2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On January 6, 2021, stockholders approved the ESPP. The ESPP provides a means by which eligible employees and/or eligible service providers of either the Company or designated related companies and affiliates may be given an opportunity to purchase shares of Class A common stock at a 15.0% discount from the fair market value of the common stock as determined on specific dates at specified intervals. Subject to adjustments provided in the ESPP that are discussed below, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be purchased under the ESPP is 10,512,025 shares, and the maximum number of shares that may be purchased on any single purchase date by any one participant is 5,000 shares. At March 31, 2023, 9,582,217 shares of Class A common stock were available for issuance under the ESPP.
The ESPP includes an evergreen provision that sets the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the plan, to 2,785,582 shares, plus the number of shares of Class A common stock that are automatically added on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year and ending on (and including) the first day of the 2030 fiscal year, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on the last day of the calendar month prior to the date of such automatic increase, and (ii) such number of shares of Class A common stock as determined by the Board; provided that the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock reserved under the ESPP shall not exceed 10.0% of the total outstanding capital stock of the Company (inclusive of the shares reserved under the ESPP) at January 7, 2021, on an as-converted basis.
The initial offering period for the ESPP was five months, which commenced on September 1, 2021, and ended on January 31, 2022. The second offering period began on March 14, 2022, and ended November 22, 2022, and the third offering period began on November 23, 2022, and will end on May 21, 2023.
At March 31, 2023, 569,808 shares of the Company's Class A common stock have been purchased or distributed pursuant to the ESPP.
The assumptions that the Company used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the purchase rights under the ESPP for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are as follows:

Weighted-average risk-free interest rate | | 4.7 | % |
Expected term (in years) | | 0.49 |
Expected volatility | | 78.4 | % |
12. Income Taxes
The consolidated effective tax rate of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, was 0.0%. The Company continues to be in a net operating loss and net deferred tax asset position. As a result, and in accordance with accounting standards, the Company recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the value of the net deferred tax assets to zero. The Company believes that at March 31, 2023, it had no material uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax expense (benefits) are recognized in income tax expense, when applicable.
There were no material liabilities for interest and penalties accrued at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
13. Net Loss per Share
Net Loss per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Class A common stockholders and Class B common stockholders (collectively, "Common Stockholders") for the years indicated was calculated as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2023 | | 2022 | | |
| (in thousands, except per share and share amounts) |
Net loss | $ | (72,606) | | | $ | (75,490) | | | |
Net loss attributable to Common Stockholders | (72,606) | | | (75,490) | | | |
Basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding | 478,805,067 | | | 473,028,651 | | | |
Net loss per share attributable to Common Stockholders—basic and diluted | $ | (0.15) | | | $ | (0.16) | | | |
Because the Company had a Net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company's potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options, RSUs, PRSUs, preferred stock, and warrants to purchase shares of common stock and preferred stock, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, during these periods, the diluted common shares outstanding equals the average common shares outstanding. The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Common Stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2023 | | 2022 | | |
Options to purchase common stock | 25,834,803 | | | 32,410,176 | | | |
RSUs | 57,742,605 | | | 31,512,397 | | | |
PRSUs | 29,945,235 | | | 27,539,954 | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
Total anti-dilutive shares excluded from computation of net loss per share | 113,522,643 | | | 91,462,527 | | | |
14. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Actions
Various lawsuits against the Company may arise in the ordinary course of the Company's business. Contingent liabilities arising from ordinary course litigation, income taxes and other matters are not expected to be material in relation to the financial position of the Company. At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, there were no material known contingent liabilities arising outside the normal course of business other than as set forth below.
Securities Class Actions, Derivative Litigation and Investigations
Since February 2021, the Company has received subpoenas from the SEC related to certain disclosures and aspects of our business as well as certain matters described in an article issued on February 4, 2021, by Hindenburg Research LLC (the "Hindenburg Article"). The Company is cooperating with the SEC's investigation. The Hindenburg Article, which discussed, among other things, an inquiry by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania relating to, among other things, certain of the Company’s arrangements with providers participating in its network and programs, and Clover Assistant, was the subject of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 5, 2021.
In February 2021, the Company and certain of its directors and officers were named as defendants in putative class actions filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee: Bond v. Clover Health Investments, Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00096 (M.D. Tenn.); Kaul v. Clover Health Investments, Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00101 (M.D. Tenn.); Yaniv v. Clover Health Investments, Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00109 (M.D. Tenn.); and Tremblay v. Clover Health Investments, Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00138 (M.D. Tenn.). The complaints assert violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Kaul action asserts additional claims under sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. The complaints generally relate to allegations published in the Hindenburg Article. The complaints seek unspecified damages on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or acquired Clover securities during the class period (which begins on October 6, 2020, and, depending on the complaint, ends on February 3, 2021, or February 4, 2021), as well as certain other costs. In April 2021, the Middle District of Tennessee class actions were consolidated under Bond v. Clover Health Investments, Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00096 (M.D. Tenn.) as the lead case. On June 28, 2021, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which also generally relates to allegations published in the Hindenburg Article, but adds, among other things, allegations from confidential witnesses who purport to be former employees of the Company. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint on August 28, 2021; that motion was denied on February 28, 2022. On February 14, 2023, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification.
On April 21, 2023, the parties to the securities class action entered into a memorandum of understanding providing for the settlement of the class action. Subject to negotiation of definitive documentation and final court approval, the class will receive $22 million dollars (less an award of fees and expenses to the plaintiffs’ counsel, as determined by the court), the defendants (including the Company) will receive customary releases, and the litigation will be concluded. The Company will use insurance proceeds totaling $19.5 million that have been advanced or have been committed to be advanced by the Company’s insurers to fund the settlement. The Company expects to pay $2.5 million of out-of-pocket costs to fund the settlement. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company has recorded reserves of $2,500,000 and $500,000, respectively. The Company previously filed a lawsuit in Delaware state court against certain of its insurers for full payment of its liabilities related to this securities litigation. The Company intends to continue to pursue that litigation against the insurance carrier defendants to seek to recover additional funds, and it intends to oppose any efforts by the carrier defendants to recoup any insurance proceeds that they have advanced or committed to advance to date. See “Note 18—Subsequent Events.”
Shareholder derivative actions parallel to the securities class action have also been filed, naming Clover as a nominal defendant. The first action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and is captioned Furman v. Garipalli, et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-00191 (D. Del.). The complaint asserts violations of sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, and waste of corporate assets against certain of the Company's directors. It seeks unspecified damages and an order requiring Clover to take certain actions to enhance Clover's corporate governance policies, and procedures. The second and third actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee and are captioned Sun v. Garipalli, et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00311 (M.D. Tenn.), and Luthra v. Garipalli, et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00320 (M.D. Tenn.). The complaints assert violations of section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, and aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. The Sun action also asserts unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and contribution under section 11(f) of the Securities Act, and sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act. The complaints name certain current and former officers and directors as defendants. They seek unspecified damages and an order requiring Clover to take certain actions to enhance Clover's corporate governance policies and procedures.
The fourth action was filed in the United States District of Delaware and is captioned Wiegand v. Garipalli, et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-01053 (D. Del.). The initial complaint asserted violations of sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. The complaint names certain current and former officers and directors as defendants. It seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and an order requiring Clover to take certain actions to improve Clover's corporate governance and internal procedures. The fifth action was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and is captioned Sankaranarayanan v. Palihapitiya, et al., Index No. 655420/2021 (N.Y. Sup. Ct., N.Y. Cnty.). The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. The complaint names certain former officers and directors as defendants. It seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and an order directing Clover to take certain actions to reform and improve its corporate governance and internal procedures.
The sixth action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and is captioned Davies v. Garipalli, et al., No. 2021-1016-SG (Del. Ch.). The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint names certain current and former officers and directors as defendants. It seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and an order directing Clover to take certain actions to reform and improve its corporate governance and internal procedures. The seventh action was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and is captioned Uvaydov v. Palihapitiya, et al., Index No. 656978/2021 (N.Y Sup. Ct., N.Y. Cnty.). The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint names certain current and former officers and directors as defendants. It seeks, among other things, unspecified damages, restitution, and disgorgement of profits obtained by defendants.
On May 10, 2021, the Middle District of Tennessee shareholder derivative actions described above were consolidated under Sun v. Garipalli, et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-00311 (M.D. Tenn.) as lead case. The court designated co-lead counsel and liaison counsel and ordered the parties to submit a proposed schedule for the initial stage of the case. On November 30, 2021, the Sun and Luthra plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, asserting violations of section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and contribution under sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act. The amended complaint generally relates to the allegations published in the Hindenburg Article, and names certain current and former officers and directors as defendants. It seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and an order requiring Clover to take certain actions to enhance Clover's corporate governance policies and procedures.
On September 16, 2021, the two District of Delaware derivative actions were consolidated under In re Clover Health Investments, Corp. Derivative Litigation, Case No. 1:21-cv-00191-LPS (Consolidated). The Furman complaint was deemed the operative complaint. On April 19, 2022, the plaintiff in the Wiegand action filed an amended complaint, asserting violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a), and 21D of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment against certain current and former officers and directors. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and an order requiring Clover to take certain actions to improve Clover's corporate governance and internal procedures.
On August 19, 2022, the two derivative actions filed in New York state court were consolidated under In re Clover Health Investments, Corp. Stockholder Derivative Litig., Index No. 655420/2021. On November 3, 2022, the plaintiffs in this action filed a consolidated complaint, asserting breach of fiduciary duty, and unjust enrichment, and naming certain former officers and directors as defendants. The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified damages, restitution, the disgorgement of profits obtained by defendants, and an order directing Clover to take certain actions to reform and improve its corporate governance and internal procedures.
All of these derivative actions remain in the preliminary stages. Given the inherent uncertainty of litigation and the legal standards that must be met, including class certification and success on the merits, the Company has determined that it is not probable or estimable that an unfavorable outcome or potential loss will occur. Clover intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims asserted against it.
Guaranty Assessments
Under state guaranty assessment laws, including those related to state cooperative failures in the industry, the Company may be assessed, up to prescribed limits, for certain obligations to the policyholders and claimants of insolvent insurance companies that write the same line or lines of business as the Company.
15. Non-Insurance
In April 2021, the Company began participating in the DC Model of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"), which utilizes a structured model intended to reduce expenditures and preserve or enhance quality of care for beneficiaries in Medicare fee-for-service ("FFS"). CMS redesigned the DC Model and renamed the model the ACO Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (REACH) Model ("ACO REACH Model") effective January 1, 2023. As a participating entity in the DC Model, referred to as the ACO REACH Model at January 1, 2023, with a global risk arrangement, the Company assumes the responsibility of guaranteeing the performance of its care network. The ACO REACH Model is intended to reduce the administrative burden, support a focus on complex, chronically ill patients, and encourage physician organizations that have not typically participated in Medicare FFS to serve beneficiaries in Medicare FFS. The Company's operations in connection with both the DC Model and ACO REACH Model are included in the Non-Insurance operating segment. See Note 16 (Operating Segments) for additional information.
Performance Guarantees
Certain of the Company's arrangements with third-party providers require it to guarantee the performance of its care network to CMS, which, if not obtained, could potentially result in payment to CMS. The Non-Insurance performance year obligation and receivable are
amortized on a straight-line basis for the amount that represents the completed performance. The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee. This is attributable to the stop-loss arrangement and the corridors (tiered levels) in the arrangement. A certain percentage of these arrangements will still be the responsibility of the Company, in addition to a number of variables that are not reasonable for the Company to estimate, such as, but not limited to, risk ratings and benchmark trends that have an inestimable impact on the estimate of future payments.
For additional information, see Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and Note 22 (Non-Insurance) in the 2022 Form 10-K.

16. Operating Segments
The Company manages its operations based on two reportable operating segments: Insurance and Non-Insurance. Through the Insurance segment, the Company provides PPO and HMO plans to Medicare Advantage members in several states. The Company's Non-Insurance segment consists of its operations in connection with its participation in CMS' Direct Contracting and ACO REACH programs. All other clinical services and all corporate overhead not included in the Insurance or Non-Insurance segments are included within Corporate/Other. These segment groupings are consistent with information used by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company's CODM, to assess performance and allocate resources.
The operations of the Company are organized into the following two segments:
•Insurance Segment includes operations related to the Company's MA plans, which generally provide access to a wide network of primary care providers, specialists, and hospitals.
•Non-Insurance Segment includes the Company's operations relating to CMS' ACO REACH model and DC Model, which provides options aimed at reducing expenditures and preserving or enhancing quality of care for beneficiaries.
Corporate/Other includes other clinical services not included in Medicare Advantage and Direct Contracting and all other corporate overhead. Clinical services is comprised of Clover Home Care and other clinical services that are offered to eligible beneficiaries.
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company updated the names of its Medicare Advantage and Direct Contracting segments to the Insurance and Non-Insurance segments, respectively. The Company believes that this approach better reflects each segment's current role and contribution to its business. There has been no change to the existing composition of these segments, and previously reported consolidated and segment-level financial results of the Company were not impacted by these changes.
The table below summarizes the Company's results by operating segment:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

17. Dividend Restrictions
The Company's regulated insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulations and standards in their respective jurisdictions. These standards, among other things, require these subsidiaries to maintain specified levels of statutory capital and limit the timing and amount of dividends and other distributions that may be paid to their parent companies. Therefore, the Company's regulated insurance subsidiaries' ability to declare and pay dividends is limited by state regulations including obtaining prior approval by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, neither of the regulated insurance subsidiaries had been authorized nor paid any dividends.
18. Subsequent Events
Certain Business Transformation Initiatives
On April 17, 2023, Clover announced it would implement certain business transformation initiatives, including an agreement to move its core plan operations to UST HealthProof’s (“UST HealthProof’) integrated technology platform and additional corporate restructuring actions. The agreement with UST HealthProof includes the transition of certain of the Company’s plan operation functions in support of its Medicare Advantage members pursuant to a master services agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”).
On April 16, 2023, the Company entered into the Master Services Agreement, effective as of April 14, 2023, pursuant to which UST HealthProof will perform certain of the Company’s plan operation functions in support of its Medicare Advantage members, including claims, enrollment, contact center, medical management, payment integrity, revenue integrity, print, fulfillment, and related configuration and certain IT functions (the “Services”). The initial term of the services UST HealthProof will provide under the Master Services Agreement continues through December 31, 2028, and is then renewable at the option of the Company for two successive one-year terms unless earlier terminated by either party in accordance with the terms of the Master Services Agreement. The Company will pay UST HealthProof for the Services primarily through a fixed monthly charge per member. The Company may also engage UST HealthProof on a time and materials basis to perform discretionary enhancements and other ancillary project work. The Master Services Agreement is non-exclusive and the Company is entitled to remove any of the Services from UST HealthProof, subject to payment of certain minimum charges.
In addition to its arrangement with UST HealthProof, the Company also announced a recently conducted reduction in force to better align its SG&A cost structure with its revenue base. This restructuring resulted in the elimination of approximately 10% of the Company’s workforce.
Notice of Potential Nasdaq Delisting
On April 20, 2023, Clover received a written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Common Stock”) had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock, which continues to trade on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “CLOV”.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until October 17, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (unless the Nasdaq staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)) during the 180-day period prior to October 17, 2023.
If the Company does not regain compliance by October 17, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if it elects (and meets the listing standards) to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required, among other things, to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares as well as all other standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company fails to regain compliance during the compliance period (including a second compliance period provided by a transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, if applicable), then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist its Common Stock, at which point the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearing panel.
Agreement to Settle Securities Class Action Litigation
On April 24, 2023, the Company announced that, on April 21, 2023, it entered into a memorandum of understanding providing for the settlement of the securities class action captioned Bond v. Clover Health Investments, Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-CV-00096 (M.D. Tenn.) (the “securities class action”), which was filed in February 2021. The proposed settlement contains no admission of liability or wrongdoing by any of the defendants, including the Company, and is subject to definitive documentation and final court approval.
Subject to negotiation of definitive documentation and final court approval, the class will receive $22 million dollars (less an award of fees and expenses to the plaintiffs’ counsel, as determined by the court), the defendants (including the Company) will receive customary releases, and the litigation will be concluded. The Company will use insurance proceeds totaling $19.5 million that have been advanced or have been committed to be advanced by the Company’s insurers to fund the settlement. The Company expects to pay $2.5 million of out-of-pocket costs to fund the settlement. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company has recorded reserves of $2,500,000 and $500,000, respectively.
The Company previously filed a lawsuit in Delaware state court against certain of its insurers for full payment of its liabilities related to this securities class action, as well as certain liabilities relating to other matters. The Company intends to continue to pursue that litigation against the insurance carrier defendants to seek to recover additional funds, and it intends to oppose any efforts by the carrier defendants to recoup any insurance proceeds that they have advanced or committed to advance to date.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the three months ended March 31, 2023, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Form 10-Q") and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 1, 2023 (the "2022 Form 10-K"). This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in the "Risk Factors" section of the 2022 Form 10-K. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for additional information. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" to "we," "us," "our," "Clover," "Clover Health," and the "Company" mean the business and operations of Clover Health Investments, Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We operate Preferred Provider Organization ("PPO") and Health Maintenance Organization ("HMO") Medicare Advantage ("MA") plans for Medicare-eligible consumers. We aim to provide high-quality, affordable healthcare for all Medicare beneficiaries. We offer most members in our MA plans (the "members") among the lowest average out-of-pocket costs for primary care provider and specialist co-pays, drug deductibles and drug costs in their markets. We strongly believe in providing our members provider choice, and we consider our PPO plan to be our flagship insurance product. An important feature of our MA product is wide network access. We believe the use of Clover Assistant and related data insights allows us to improve clinical decision-making through a highly scalable platform. At March 31, 2023, we operated our MA plans in eight states and 220 counties, with 83,794 members.
On April 1, 2021, our subsidiary, Clover Health Partners, LLC ("Health Partners"), began participating as a Direct Contracting Entity ("DCE") in the Global and Professional Direct Contracting Model ("DC Model") of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), which transitioned to the Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health Model ("ACO REACH Model" or "ACO REACH") in January 2023. Our DCE assumes full risk (i.e., 100.0% shared savings and shared losses) for the total cost of care of aligned Original Medicare beneficiaries (the "Non-Insurance Beneficiaries" and, collectively with the members, "Lives under Clover Management" or the "beneficiaries"). Through our Direct Contracting operations, we focus on leveraging Clover Assistant to enhance healthcare delivery, reduce expenditures, and improve care for our Non-Insurance Beneficiaries. At the beginning of January 2023, we had approximately 605 contracted participant providers who manage primary care for our Non-Insurance Beneficiaries in 13 states. Additionally, at the beginning of January 2023, we had approximately 1,540 preferred providers and preferred facilities in our ACO REACH network. At March 31, 2023, we had approximately 615 contracted participant providers who manage primary care for our Non-Insurance Beneficiaries in 13 states. Additionally, at March 31, 2023, we had approximately 1,400 preferred providers and preferred facilities in our ACO REACH network. In connection with the 2023 performance year, we strategically reduced the number of ACO REACH participating physicians, which resulted in a shift in our beneficiary alignment. Our participation in the DC Model has enabled us to move beyond the MA market and target the Medicare fee-for-service ("FFS") market, which is the largest segment of Medicare. We believe that expanding into the FFS market is not only a strategic milestone for Clover but also demonstrates the scalability of Clover Assistant. Furthermore, we believe that offering providers multiple options within CMS' "Pathways to Success" will enable us to be accessible to more practices. Beyond ACO REACH, exploring other additional plans such as MSSP-A ("Medicare Shared Savings Program BASIC level A") and Medicare Shared Savings Plan ENHANCED ("MSSP Enhanced"), would diversify our portfolio, allow for potential growth in lives under management, and provide an opportunity for better balancing the overall risk profile of the business.
At March 31, 2023, we were partnering with providers to care for 137,410 Lives under Clover Management, which included 83,794 Insurance members and 53,616 aligned Non-Insurance beneficiaries.
Recent Developments
Geographic Expansion
On July 14, 2022, we announced plans to make our MA plans available in 13 new counties beginning in 2023. This expansion makes our MA plans available in a total of 220 counties across eight states.
Impact of COVID-19
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic and its variants continues to evolve, and the impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows stabilized during the year ended December 31, 2022. We are continuing to monitor the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations and are making adjustments accordingly. A large portion of our membership is elderly and generally in the high-risk category for COVID-19, and we have worked closely with our network of providers to ensure that members are receiving necessary care. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred elevated costs as compared to prior to the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020 to diagnose and care for those members who had contracted the virus. Indirect costs attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic were elevated as well, as deferral of services and increased costs related to conditions that were exacerbated by a lack of diagnosis and treatment in the earlier periods of the pandemic contributed to increased utilization.
Reduction in Force
The Company announced a recently conducted reduction in force to better align its SG&A cost structure with its revenue base. This restructuring resulted in the elimination of approximately 10% of the Company’s workforce.
Key Performance Measures of Our Operating Segments
Operating Segments
We manage our operations based on two reportable operating segments: Insurance and Non-Insurance. Through our Insurance segment, we provide PPO and HMO plans to Medicare Advantage members in several states. Our Non-Insurance segment consists of our operations in connection with our participation in the DC Model, which transitioned to the ACO REACH Model beginning in 2023. All other clinical services and all corporate overhead not included in the reportable segments are included within Corporate/Other.
These segment groupings are consistent with the information used by our Chief Executive Officer (identified as our chief operating decision maker) to assess performance and allocate the Company's resources.
We review several key performance measures, discussed below, to evaluate our business and results, measure performance, identify trends, formulate plans, and make strategic decisions. We believe that the presentation of such metrics is useful to management and counterparties to model the performance of healthcare companies such as Clover.
Insurance segment
Through our Insurance segment, we provide PPO and HMO plans to members in several states. We seek to improve care and lower costs for our Insurance members by empowering providers with data-driven, personalized insights to support treatment of members through our software platform, Clover Assistant.

Membership and associated premiums earned and medical claim expenses.
We define new and returning members on a calendar year basis. Any member who is active on July 1 of a given year is considered a returning member in the following year. Any member who joins a Clover plan after July 1 in a given year is considered a new member for the entirety of the following calendar year. We view our number of members and associated PMPM premiums earned and medical claim expenses, in the aggregate and on a PMPM basis, as important metrics to assess our financial performance; member growth aligns with our mission, drives our Total revenues, expands brand awareness, deepens our market penetration, creates additional opportunities to inform our data-driven insights to improve care and decrease medical claim expenses, and generates additional data to continue to improve the functioning of Clover Assistant. Among other things, the longer a member is enrolled in one of our insurance plans, the more data we collect and synthesize and the more actionable insights we generate. We believe these data-driven insights lead to better care delivery as well as improved identification and documentation of members' chronic conditions, helping to lower PMPM medical claim expenses.
Premiums earned, gross.
Premiums earned, gross is the amount received, or to be received, for insurance policies written by us during a specific period of time without reduction for premiums ceded to reinsurance. We believe premiums earned, gross provides useful insight into the gross economic benefit generated by our business operations and allows us to evaluate our underwriting performance without regard to changes in our underlying reinsurance structure. Premiums earned, gross excludes the effects of premiums ceded to reinsurers, and therefore should not be used as a substitute for Premiums earned, net, Total revenues, or any other measure presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP").
Premiums earned, net.
Premiums earned, net represents the earned portion of our premiums earned, gross, less the earned portion that is ceded to third-party reinsurers under our reinsurance agreements. Premiums are earned in the period in which members are entitled to receive services, and are net of estimated uncollectible amounts, retroactive membership adjustments, and any adjustments to recognize rebates under the minimum benefit ratios required under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Premiums earned, gross is the amount received, or to be received, for insurance policies written by us during a specific period of time without reduction for premiums ceded to reinsurance. We earn premiums through our plans offered under contracts with CMS. We receive premiums from CMS on a monthly basis based on our actuarial bid and the risk-adjustment model used by CMS. Premiums anticipated to be received within twelve months based on the documented diagnostic criteria of our members are estimated and included in revenues for the period, including the member months for which the payment is designated by CMS.
Premiums ceded is the amount of premiums earned, gross ceded to reinsurers. From time to time, we enter into reinsurance contracts to limit our exposure to potential losses as well as to provide additional capacity for growth. Under these agreements, the "reinsurer," agrees to cover a portion of the claims of another insurer, i.e., us, the "primary insurer," in return for a portion of their premium. Ceded earned premiums are earned over the reinsurance contract period in proportion to the period of risk covered. The volume of our ceded earned premium is impacted by the level of our premiums earned, gross and any decision we make to adjust our reinsurance agreements.
Insurance gross medical claims incurred.
Insurance gross medical claims incurred reflects claims incurred, excluding amounts ceded to reinsurers, and the costs associated with processing those claims. We believe gross medical claims incurred provides useful insight into the gross medical expense incurred by members and allows us to evaluate our underwriting performance without regard to changes in our underlying reinsurance structure.
Insurance gross medical claims incurred excludes the effects of medical claims and associated costs ceded to reinsurers, and therefore should not be used as a substitute for Net claims incurred, Total operating expenses, or any other measure presented in accordance with GAAP.
Insurance net medical claims incurred.
Insurance net medical claims incurred are our medical expenses and consist of the costs of claims, including the costs incurred for claims net of amounts ceded to reinsurers. We enter into reinsurance contracts to limit our exposure to potential catastrophic losses. These expenses generally vary based on the total number of members and their utilization rate of our services.
Medical care ratio, gross and net.
We calculate our medical care ratio ("MCR") by dividing total Insurance medical claim expenses incurred by premiums earned, in each case on a gross or net basis, as the case may be, in a given period. We believe our MCR is an indicator of our gross margin for our Insurance plans and the ability of our Clover Assistant platform to capture and analyze data over time to generate actionable insights for returning members to improve care and reduce medical expenses.
Non-Insurance segment
Our Non-Insurance segment consists of operations in connection with our participation in the Direct Contracting program, which we began in April 2021 and which transitioned to the ACO REACH Model beginning in 2023. As part of our Non-Insurance operations, we empower providers with Clover Assistant and offer a variety of programs aimed at reducing expenditures and preserving or enhancing the quality of care for our Non-Insurance Beneficiaries.

(2) Defined as Non-Insurance net medical claims incurred divided by Non-Insurance revenues.
Non-Insurance Beneficiaries.
A Non-Insurance Beneficiary is defined as an eligible Original Medicare covered life that has been aligned to our DCE and ACO REACH, Health Partners, via attribution to a DCE-participant and ACO REACH-participant provider through alignment based on claims data or by beneficiary election through voluntary alignment. A beneficiary alignment is effective at the first of the month, for the full calendar month, regardless of whether eligibility is lost during the course of the month.
Non-Insurance revenue.
Non-Insurance revenue represents CMS' total expense incurred for medical services provided on behalf of Non-Insurance Beneficiaries during months in which they were alignment eligible during the performance year. Non-Insurance revenue is the sum of the capitation payments made to us for services within the scope of our capitation arrangement and FFS payments made to providers directly from CMS. Non-Insurance revenue is also known in the DC model and ACO REACH model as performance year expenditures and is the primary component used to calculate shared savings or shared loss versus the performance year benchmark. Non-Insurance revenue includes a direct reduction or increase of shared savings or loss, as applicable. Premiums and recoupments incurred in direct relation to the DC model and ACO REACH model are recognized as a reduction or increase in Non-Insurance revenue, as applicable. We believe Non-Insurance revenue provides useful insight into the gross economic benefit generated by our business operations and allows us to evaluate our performance without regard to changes in our underlying reinsurance structure.
Non-Insurance net medical claims incurred.
Non-Insurance net medical claims incurred consist of the total incurred expense that CMS and we will remit for medical services provided on behalf of Non-Insurance Beneficiaries during the months in which they are alignment eligible and aligned to the DCE and ACO REACH. Additionally, Non-Insurance net medical claims incurred are inclusive of fees paid to providers for Clover Assistant usage, care coordination, and any shared savings or shared loss agreements with providers.
Non-Insurance MCR.
We calculate our MCR by dividing Non-Insurance net medical claims incurred by Non-Insurance revenue in a given period. We believe our MCR is an indicator of our gross profitability and the ability to capture and analyze data over time to generate actionable insights for returning beneficiaries to improve care and reduce medical expenses.

Premiums earned, net
Premiums earned, net increased $38.9 million, or 14.0%, to $317.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increased CMS premiums as a result of the 3.0 to 3.5 star rating effective January 1, 2023 and an increase in our risk adjustment revenue driving favorability as a result of the Company focusing on member retention.
Non-Insurance revenue
Non-Insurance revenue decreased $389.1 million, or 65.4%, to $205.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in the number of our aligned Non-Insurance Beneficiaries from 172,416 at March 31, 2022, to 53,616 at March 31, 2023 primarily driven by the strategic reduction in Non-insurance Beneficiaries which occurred during the 2023 performance year.
Other income
Other income increased $3.6 million, or 273.9%, to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase from investment income partially impacted by a more favorable interest rate environment as compared to the prior period.
Net medical claims incurred
Total Net medical claims incurred for both Insurance and Non-Insurance decreased $389.2 million, or 45.2%, to $472.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in net medical claims related to to our strategic reduction in Non-Insurance Beneficiaries from $594.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $197.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This, was driven by a decrease in the number of our aligned Non-Insurance Beneficiaries from 172,416 at March 31, 2022, to 53,616 at March 31, 2023.
Salaries and benefits
Salaries and benefits increased $1.1 million, or 1.6%, to $70.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This impact was consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million, or 2.6%, to $59.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in expenses related to our new LiveHealthy rewards program; this increase was partially offset by a decrease in professional fees and broker commissions expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Premium deficiency reserve benefit
An approximately $1.8 million premium deficiency reserve benefit was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was primarily driven by amortization associated with the 2022 recorded reserve. In addition, we recorded an additional benefit of $9.1 million as a result of our change in accounting policy, which allows us to include anticipated net investment income in our premium deficiency reserve calculation, for more information please see Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). A $27.5 million premium deficiency reserve expense was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022, associated with amortization of the reserve that was deemed necessary as of the end of fiscal year 2021 for fiscal year 2022.
Gain on investment
In February 2022, Character Biosciences completed a private capital transaction in which it raised $17.9 million from the issuance of 16,210,602 shares of its preferred stock. After evaluating our ownership interest in Character Biosciences, we began applying the equity method of accounting during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and recorded a gain on investment of $12.4 million, which is attributable to our proportionate share of the gain on equity of that entity during that period. Prior to the first quarter of 2022, this entity was consolidated on our financial statements, and therefore we did not recognize a loss or gain on investment. In accordance with ASC 323, for the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized the proportionate share of Character Bioscience's net losses up to the investment carrying amount. At December 31, 2022, we discontinued applying the equity method to account for our common stock interest in Character Biosciences as our net losses exceeded the investment carrying amount. The equity method investment in Character Biosciences was reduced to zero and no further losses were recorded in our consolidated financial statements as we did not guarantee obligations of the investee company or commit additional funding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We manage our liquidity and financial position in the context of our overall business strategy. We continually forecast and manage our cash, investments, working capital balances, and capital structure to meet the short-term and long-term obligations of our businesses while seeking to maintain liquidity and financial flexibility.
Historically, we have financed our operations primarily from the proceeds we received through public and private sales of equity securities, funds received in connection with the business combination which occurred early in 2021, issuances of convertible notes, premiums earned under our MA plans, and with our Non-Insurance revenue. We expect that our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, and our current projections of cash flows, taken together, will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and regulatory requirements for the next 12 months based on our current plans. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our needs to support our business growth, to respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, or for other reasons. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing to provide the capital required to maintain or expand our operations. Any future equity financing may be dilutive to our existing investors, and any future debt financing may include debt service requirements and financial and other restrictive covenants that may constrain our operations and growth strategies. If additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Consolidated Entities
At March 31, 2023, total restricted and unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $635.2 million. At December 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments of $555.3 million. Additionally, at March 31, 2023, we had $292.4 million of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities. Our cash equivalents and investment securities consist primarily of money market funds, U.S. government debt securities, and corporate debt securities.
Unregulated Entities
At March 31, 2023, total restricted and unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and investments for the parent company, Clover Health Investments, Corp., and unregulated subsidiaries were $331.1 million. We operate as a holding company in a highly regulated industry. As such, we may receive dividends and administrative expense reimbursements from our subsidiaries, two of which are subject to regulatory restrictions. We continue to maintain significant levels of aggregate excess statutory capital and surplus in our state-regulated insurance subsidiaries. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments at the parent company, Clover Health Investments, Corp., were $76.7 million and $101.4 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. This decrease at the parent company primarily reflects operating expenses and capital contributions made to our regulated insurance subsidiaries. Additionally, the parent company held $122.7 million and $136.5 million of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Our unregulated subsidiaries held $131.7 million and $93.7 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Our unregulated subsidiaries held no available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities at either March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
Regulated Entities
At March 31, 2023 total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments for our regulated subsidiaries were $304.1 million. Additionally, our regulated insurance subsidiaries held $169.8 million and $191.1 million of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Our use of operating cash derived from our unregulated subsidiaries is generally not restricted by departments of insurance (or comparable state regulatory agencies). Our regulated insurance subsidiaries have not paid dividends to the parent, and applicable insurance laws restrict the ability of our regulated insurance subsidiary to declare and pay dividends to the parent. Insurance regulators have broad powers to prevent reduction of statutory surplus to inadequate levels, and there is no assurance that dividends of the maximum amounts calculated under any applicable formula would be permitted. State insurance regulatory authorities that have jurisdiction over the payment of dividends by our regulated insurance subsidiary may in the future adopt statutory provisions more restrictive than those currently in effect.
For a detailed discussion of our regulatory requirements, including aggregate statutory capital and surplus as well as dividends paid from the subsidiaries to the parent, please refer to Notes 24, 25, and 26 in our 2022 Form 10-K.
Cash Flows

Cash Requirements
Our cash requirements within the next twelve months include medical claims payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current liabilities, purchase commitments, and other obligations. We expect the cash required to meet these obligations to be primarily generated through cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, and our current projections of cash flows from operations.
Operating Activities
Our largest source of operating cash flows is capitated payments from CMS. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are payments for medical benefits and payments of operating expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Net cash provided by operating activities was $79.0 million, which reflects a Net loss of $72.6 million. Non-cash activities included a $38.6 million charge to Stock-based compensation expense, approximately $1.8 million of amortization of the 2023 Premium deficiency reserve. A prepayment of $107.6 million was received during the period from CMS for April 2023. Payments due to CMS related to our Non-Insurance operations increased by $12.8 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Net cash used in operating activities was $57.0 million, which reflects a Net loss of $75.5 million. Non-cash activities included a $40.6 million charge to Stock-based compensation expense, $27.5 million amortization of the 2022 Premium deficiency reserve, and a $12.4 million Gain on investment related to the change in the equity structure of Clover Therapeutics. Payments due to CMS related to our Non-Insurance operations increased by $43.2 million. Change in our working capital included an increase in Unpaid claims of $25.3 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, of $10.2 million was primarily due to $78.3 million provided from the sale and maturity of investment securities. This was offset by $67.9 million used to purchase investments.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, of $36.5 million was primarily due to $113.1 million used to purchase investment securities, offset by $150.0 million provided from the sale and maturity of investment securities.
For additional information regarding our investing activities, please refer to Note 3 (Investment Securities) to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $2.1 million was primarily the result of the acquisition of $3.0 million in Treasury stock.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $5.6 million was primarily the result of the acquisition of $5.9 million in Treasury stock.
Financing Arrangements
There have been no material changes to our financing arrangements at March 31, 2023, as compared to those disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We believe that funds from projected future operating cash flows, cash, cash equivalents, and investments will be sufficient for future operations and commitments, and for capital acquisitions and other strategic transactions, over at least the next 12 months.
Material cash requirements from known contractual obligations and commitments at March 31, 2023 include: (1) the recognition of a performance guarantee of $613.1 million in connection with the Company's participation in the ACO REACH model and (2) operating lease obligations of $5.8 million. These commitments are associated with contracts that were enforceable and legally binding at March 31, 2023, and that specified all significant terms, including fixed or minimum serves to be used, fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the actions under the contracts. There were no other material cash requirements from known contractual obligations and commitments at March 31, 2023. For additional information regarding our remaining estimated contractual obligations and commitments, see Note 12 (Notes and Securities Payable), Note 15 (Leases), Note 21 (Commitments and Contingencies), and Note 22 (Non-Insurance) to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Form 10-K.
Indemnification Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements, with various parties (providers, vendors, consultants, etc.), with varying scope and terms, pursuant to which we may agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other parties from any claim, demand, loss, lawsuit, settlement, judgment, fine, or other liability, and all related expenses that may accrue therefrom (including reasonable attorneys' fees), arising from or in connection with third party claims, including, but not limited to, negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct, fraud, or otherwise wrongful act or omission with respect to our obligations under the applicable agreements.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We believe that the accounting policies and estimates involve a significant degree of judgment and complexity. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company has made one significant accounting policy change related to its calculation of premium deficiency reserve, as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the 2022 Form 10-K with the exception of a voluntary change to the method of determining our premium deficiency reserves. For more information on this change please see Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to the financial statements in this report for a discussion of accounting pronouncements recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted and their potential impact to our financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of economic losses due to adverse changes in the estimated fair value of a financial instrument as the result of changes in equity prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our condensed consolidated balance sheets include assets and liabilities with estimated fair values that are subject to market risk. Our primary market risk has been interest rate risk associated with investments in instruments with fixed maturities. We do not have material exposure to commodity risk.
We are also exposed to credit risk on our investment portfolio. We manage the exposure to credit risk in our portfolio by investing in high quality securities and diversifying our holdings.
We monitor our investment portfolio to ensure that credit risk does not exceed prudent levels. Our investment policy is focused on preservation of capital, liquidity and earning a modest yield. Substantially all of our investment portfolio is invested in U.S. Treasury fixed maturity securities. At March 31, 2023, none of our fixed maturity securities portfolio was unrated or rated below investment grade.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our "Certifying Officers"), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at March 31, 2023, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, at March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, in the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings, investigations (both formal and informal), and claims incidental to the conduct of a highly regulated business. Such proceedings can be costly, time consuming, and unpredictable. Therefore, no assurance can be given on the outcome of any proceeding or the potential impact on our financial condition or results of operation.
Information concerning legal proceedings can be found in Note 14 (Commitments and Contingencies) to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated by reference into this item.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors are provided to update the risk factors of the Company previously disclosed in the 2022 Form 10-K. In the course of conducting our business operations, we are exposed to a variety of risks, any of which have affected or could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The market price of our Class A common stock could decline, possibly significantly or permanently, if one or more of these risks and uncertainties occurs. Any factor described in this report or in any of our other SEC filings could by itself, or together with other factors, adversely affect our financial results and condition. For a discussion of risk factors that could adversely affect our financial results and condition, and the value of, and return on, an investment in the Company, please see the "Risk Factors" section in the 2022 Form 10-K.
We have been notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of our failure to comply with certain continued listing requirements and, if we are unable to regain compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements and standards of Nasdaq, our Class A common stock could be delisted from Nasdaq, which would have an adverse impact on the trading, liquidity, and market price of our Class A common stock.
On April 20, 2023, we received a written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying us that, because the bid price for our Class A common stock has fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we no longer comply with the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until October 17, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's Class A common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (unless the Nasdaq staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)) during the 180-day period prior to October 17, 2023.
If the Company does not regain compliance by October 17, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if it elects (and meets the listing standards) to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required, among other things, to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares as well as all other standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company fails to regain compliance during the compliance period (including a second compliance period provided by a transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, if applicable), then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist its Class A common stock, at which point the Company may appeal Nasdaq's delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearing panel.
We intend to continue to monitor the bid price levels for our Class A common stock and will consider appropriate alternatives to achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement within the compliance period, including, among other things, a potential reverse stock split. However, we cannot assure you that the price of our Class A common stock will subsequently remain in compliance with the required listing standard or that we will remain in compliance with any of the other applicable continued listing standards of Nasdaq. Any continuing failure to remain in compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing standards, and any subsequent failure to timely resume compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing standards within the applicable cure period could have adverse consequences, and among other things, substantially impair our ability to raise additional funds and could result in a loss of institutional investor interest and fewer development opportunities for us. Furthermore, a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Class A common stock and would impair the ability of stockholders to sell or purchase our Class A common stock when they wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we would expect to take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Class A common stock to become listed again, lead to stability in the market price of our Class A common stock, improve the liquidity of our Class A common stock, prevent our Class A common stock from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements. As a result of these factors, a delisting of our Class A common stock from Nasdaq would have an adverse impact on the trading, liquidity, and market price of our Class A common stock.
Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties.
In order to grow our business, we anticipate that we will continue to depend on our relationships with third parties to perform certain operational functions and services, to support and use our Clover Assistant and technology platforms, and to support our general services and administration functions. These third parties include, for example, insurance brokers, our information technology system providers, data submission providers, coders, quality metrics auditors, pharmacy benefit management ("PBM"), services suppliers, enrollment administration providers, and customer service, provider support line, call center and claim and billing service providers. We also rely on integrations with EHR providers and clinical software developers. We have entered into agreements with our PBM services suppliers to provide us and certain of our beneficiaries with certain PBM services, such as claims processing, mail pharmacy services, specialty pharmacy services, retail network pharmacy network services, participating pharmacy audit services, reporting, and formulary services. In April 2023, we entered into an agreement with UST HealthProof pursuant to which UST HealthProof will perform certain of our plan operation functions in support of our Medicare Advantage members, including claims, enrollment, contact center, medical management, payment integrity, revenue integrity, print, fulfillment, and related configuration and certain IT functions. However, we may be unable to realize all of the expected benefits, including cost savings, in connection with this agreement within the expected time frame, or at all, and we may incur additional and/or unexpected costs to realize them. If the services become unavailable or are not adequately performed, our operations and business strategies could be significantly disrupted which could have a material adverse effect on our business, brand, reputation, and results of operations.
Additionally, if any such agreements were to terminate for any reason or one of our PBM services supplier's ability to perform their respective obligations under their agreements with us were impaired, we may not be able to find an alternative supplier in a timely manner or on acceptable financial terms. As a result, our costs may increase, we would not realize the anticipated benefits of our agreements for PBM services, we could become overly dependent on such agreements, which could cause us to lose core competencies and we may not be able to meet the full demands of our beneficiaries. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, brand, reputation, and results of operations. Furthermore, certain legislative authorities have in recent years discussed or proposed legislation that would restrict outsourcing of certain services. In addition, we may be held accountable for any failure of performance by our vendors. Significant failure by a third party to perform in accordance with the terms of our contracts or applicable law could subject us to fines or other sanctions or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. A termination of our agreements with, or disruption in the performance of, one or more of these service providers could result in service disruption or unavailability, and harm our ability to continue to develop, maintain and improve Clover Assistant. This could decrease the usefulness of Clover Assistant and result in decreased adoption by providers and potentially higher medical costs for our beneficiaries, increased or duplicative costs for us, and our inability to meet our obligations to our beneficiaries; it could also require us to seek alternative service providers on less favorable contract terms, any of which can adversely affect our business, brand, reputation and results of operating. Additionally, if our service partners and vendors do not utilize industry standards with respect to privacy and data requirements, or other applicable safeguards, we may be exposed to additional liability, the breach of our patient data, or loss of our ability to provide plans and services.
Identifying partners, and negotiating and documenting relationships with them, requires significant time and resources. In addition, acquisitions of our partners by our competitors could result in a decrease in the number of our beneficiaries and provider users, as our partners may no longer facilitate the enrollment of Medicare-eligible beneficiaries into, or the effective and efficient operations of, our Insurance and Non-Insurance businesses or the adoption of Clover Assistant by providers. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenues could be impaired and our results of operations may suffer. Even if we are successful, we cannot assure you that these relationships will result in increased revenues or an increase in the number of beneficiaries or provider users of Clover Assistant.
