Clover Health Investments, Corp. ("Clover"), an innovative technology company improving health outcomes for America's seniors, and Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp.

"Today marks an important milestone in Clover Health’s mission to improve every life by enabling improved clinical decision making and achieving affordability in healthcare in the U.S.," said Vivek Garipalli, CEO and Co-Founder of Clover Health. "As a public company, we will continue to pioneer a fundamentally different approach in the Medicare Advantage and Medicare space – investing in technology and partnering closely with physicians to help them make critical decisions for their patients at the point of care – with an overarching commitment to creating value for all stakeholders."
Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO and Founder of SCH, said: "On behalf of the SCH team, I am thrilled to announce the closing of this transaction and bring Clover Health to the public markets. Vivek, Andrew and their team have created a next-generation Medicare Advantage company that combines wide access to healthcare with a technology-enabled operating model. We are confident that Clover Health will continue to empower physicians to deliver better care and better outcomes for all its members and look forward to partnering with them in this next stage of growth."
Clover’s management team, led by CEO and Co-Founder Vivek Garipalli and President and Co-Founder Andrew Toy, will continue to lead the newly formed company. Chamath Palihapitiya, Founder and CEO of SCH, will act as a senior advisor to the Company’s management.
