Insurtech unicorn had ~383K policyholders as of quarter ended Jun-21 while Carvana sold ~244K vehicles in 2020 and ~200K vehicles in the first half of 2021.

Convertible preferred stock will be issued and sold to Carvana with an initial liquidation preference equal to the purchase price that will be convertible at a price of $9.00/share into ~14 million Root shares of Class A common stock. According to form 8-K, Root will issue 8 tranches of warrants, which may provide Carvana with opportunity to purchase ~129 million newly issued Root shares of Class A common stock, what translates into ~30% post-transaction stake on a fully diluted basis.</p>
