Transaction with Woven Planet Holdings, Inc. (“Woven Planet”)
On April 26, 2021, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Woven Planet, a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation, for divestiture of certain assets related to the Company’s self-driving vehicle division, Level 5, as well as non-exclusive commercial agreements for the utilization of Lyft system and fleet data to accelerate the safety and commercialization of the automated-driving vehicles that Woven Planet will develop. The Company will receive, in total, approximately $550 million in cash with this transaction, with $200 million paid upfront subject to certain closing adjustments and $350 million of payments over a five-year period. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021, subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals and customary and other closing conditions. This transaction will reduce the Company’s costs related to Level 5 and also provide a new way to monetize the data collected as a result of the Lyft platform. The Company is assessing the accounting impact of this transaction on its consolidated financial statements.
Reinsurance of Certain Legacy Auto Liability Insurance
On April 22, 2021, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Valley Insurance Company, Inc. (“PVIC”), entered into a Quota Share Reinsurance Agreement (the “Reinsurance Agreement”) with DARAG Bermuda LTD (“DARAG”), under which DARAG reinsured a legacy portfolio of auto insurance policies, based on reserves in place as of March 31, 2021, for $183.2 million of coverage above the liabilities recorded as of that date. Under the terms of the Reinsurance Agreement, PVIC ceded to DARAG approximately $251.3 million of certain legacy insurance liabilities for policies underwritten during the period of October 1, 2018 to October 1, 2020, with an aggregate limit of $434.5 million, for a premium of $271.5 million. The Reinsurance Agreement arrangement does not discharge PVIC of its obligations to the policyholder. A loss of approximately $20.2 million for the net costs of the Reinsurance Agreement will be recognized during the second quarter of 2021.
