Item 8.01.

Other Events.

 

On September 25, 2017, Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”) provided updated disclosure regarding the following matters:

 

Update on pending regulatory matters in Montana

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings, the Company was among more than two dozen separate parties named by the Montana Commissioner of Securities and Insurance (“CSI”) in a Notice of Proposed Agency Action on May 12, 2016. While the Company continues to be fully cooperative with the CSI, at this time based on our discussions with the CSI, the Company has updated its estimate of exposure to a potential settlement with Montana with respect to this action and believes that it is no longer material to the Company.

 

Update on Florida Third-Party Insurance Administrator (“TPA”) License

 

As previously disclosed, the Company remains an active insurance agency in the State of Florida under an Agency License issued by the Florida Department of Financial Services. The Company continues to engage in active discussions with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“OIR”) regarding the Company obtaining a TPA license in the State of Florida. As a result of these discussions, the Company and the OIR have now reached a general understanding on a path forward that would allow the Company to submit a new application for a TPA license, and the Company and the OIR are working on the specific terms of that understanding.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical fact, and may include statements relating to goals, plans and projections regarding new markets, products, services, growth strategies, anticipated trends in our business and anticipated changes and developments in the United States health insurance system and laws. Forward-looking statements are based on HIIQ’s current assumptions, expectations and beliefs are generally identifiable by use of words “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” or similar expressions and involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by these statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, our ability to maintain relationships and develop new relationships with health insurance carriers and distributors, our ability to retain our members, the demand for our products, the amount of commissions paid to us or changes in health insurance plan pricing practices, ongoing regulatory examinations and state licensure requirements, our ability to integrate our acquisitions, competition, changes and developments in the United States health insurance system and laws, and HIIQ’s ability to adapt to them, the ability to maintain and enhance our name recognition, difficulties arising from acquisitions or other strategic transactions, and our ability to build the necessary infrastructure and processes to maintain effective controls over financial reporting. These and other risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements are discussed in HIIQ’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well as other documents that may be filed by HIIQ from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at www.sec.gov. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. You should not rely on any forward-looking statement as representing our views in the future. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
