As previously disclosed, onDecember 21, 2021 ,December 23, 2021 andDecember 29, 2021 ,Metromile received letters on behalf of purported stockholders ofMetromile , in each case stating the stockholder's belief that the Definitive Proxy Statement contained in the Form S-4 filed by Lemonade with theSEC onDecember 14, 2021 (the "Form S-4"), omitted material information with respect to the transaction and demanding thatMetromile make additional and supplemental disclosures regarding the transaction prior to theMetromile special meeting. One letter also requested to inspect certain ofMetromile's books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law based on allegations of suspected wrongdoing in connection withMetromile's sale process. OnJanuary 10, 2022 ,Metromile received another letter on behalf of another purported stockholder stating that stockholder's belief that the Form S-4 omitted material information with respect to the transaction, demanding thatMetromile make additional and supplemental disclosures regarding the transaction prior to theMetromile special meeting, and requesting to inspect certain ofMetromile's books and records pursuant to Section 220 based on allegations of suspected wrongdoing in connection withMetromile's sale process. As previously disclosed, another purported stockholder ofMetromile filed a complaint in theSouthern District ofNew York allegingMetromile's disclosures with respect to the transaction were incomplete and requesting injunctive relief to prevent the consummation of the Mergers, unless certain allegedly material information is disclosed. That complaint was brought by the plaintiff individually and is captioned Villareal v.Metromile, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-11045 (S.D.N.Y.). Additional purported stockholders filed similar complaints onDecember 30, 2021 ,January 10, 2022 ,January 11, 2022 ,January 13, 2022 ,January 14, 2022 , andJanuary 17, 2022 .

Del.); Carlisle v.Metromile, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00404 (S.D.N.Y.).Metromile believes the allegations contained within the demand letters and complaint are without merit and that no further disclosure is required by applicable rule, statute, regulation or law beyond that already made. However, in order to preclude any efforts to delay the closing of the mergers, avoid nuisance and alleviate the costs, distractions, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation,Metromile has determined to voluntarily supplement the Definitive Proxy Statement with certain supplemental disclosures (the "Supplemental Disclosures") as described in the following section entitled "Supplemental Disclosures to the Definitive Proxy Statement" in this Current Report on Form 8-K ("Current Report"). Nothing in this Current Report shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein.

Supplemental Disclosures to the Definitive Proxy Statement
The following supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Definitive Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. All page references are to pages in the Definitive Proxy Statement, and terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meaning set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement. Underlined text shows text being added to a referenced disclosure in the Definitive Proxy Statement, and deleted text is stricken through. The second sentence of the below paragraph on page 82 of the Definitive Proxy Statement under the section "The Mergers - Background of the Mergers" is amended and supplemented to read as follows: OnAugust 16, 2021 ,Mr. Preston contacted representatives of Party B regarding a potential strategic transaction involving the EBS business. A non-disclosure agreement on customary terms was executed byMetromile and Party B onAugust 23, 2021 (which non-disclosure agreement did not contain a standstill provision), and representatives ofMetromile and Party B met later that day to discuss a potential strategic transaction involving the EBS business. OnAugust 26, 2021 , representatives of Party B contactedMr. Preston to confirm that Party B was not interested in pursuing a transaction withMetromile involving the EBS business. The third sentence of the below paragraph on page 83 of the Definitive Proxy Statement under the section "The Mergers - Background of the Mergers" is amended and supplemented to read as follows: OnAugust 26, 2021 , theMetromile board of directors held a meeting at which members ofMetromile senior management and representatives ofCooley LLP ("Cooley"),Metromile's corporate counsel, andAllen & Company were also present. At that meeting,Mr. Preston provided an update on the discussions with Lemonade and his preliminary conversations with Party A and Party B. TheMetromile board of directors also approved and formalized the formation of the strategic committee and further approved that the strategic committee would be responsible for decisions regarding the identification of third parties that would be included inMetromile's outreach to potential strategic partners, and for providingMetromile's management team and advisors with direction, guidance and oversight regarding any process involving potential strategic alternatives; provided that and that the strategic committee would not enter into exclusivity with a potential strategic partner without approval from the fullMetromile board of directors, and any final determination with respect to price and other material terms of a potential strategic transaction would be reserved for the fullMetromile board of directors., nor negotiate on price, without theMetromile board of directors' input and direction. Representatives of Cooley also provided theMetromile board of directors with an overview of its fiduciary duties in the context of the exploration of potential strategic alternatives. In order to enableMetromile to better understand potential alternatives available to it in light of the inbound interest from Lemonade and the preliminary conversations with Party A,Allen & Company suggested thatMetromile consider contacting selected third parties that might be interested in a strategic transaction withMetromile and could potentially provide long-term value toMetromile's stockholders.Allen & Company noted that, given the small group of potential strategic partners that might be considered viable candidates, a tailored strategic approach to certain potential counterparties could provideMetromile with a sense of the potential strategic alternatives available to it in the near term and discussed with theMetromile board of directors certain potential companies (in addition to Lemonade and Party A) that could be considered. After discussion, theMetromile board of directors approved approaching certain additional companies, taking into account, among other factors, the strategic fit forMetromile's business, the rationale for a potential transaction and the perceived likelihood of engaging in discussions regarding a potential strategic transaction that could be actionable in the near term, in order to gauge their interest in a potential strategic transaction withMetromile . TheMetromile board of directors also indicated its desire thatMetromile's management team continue to engage in discussions with Lemonade
and Party A. 2
