Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Merger Agreement
Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. III is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“SCH”). On October 5, 2020, SCH entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Asclepius Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of SCH (“Merger Sub”), and Clover Health Investments, Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Clover”).
The Mergers
The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the following transactions will occur (together with the other agreements and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”):
(i) at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (“DGCL”), (x) Merger Sub will merge with and into Clover, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Clover will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SCH (the “First Merger”) and (y) Clover will merge with and into SCH, the separate corporate existence of Clover will cease and SCH will be the surviving corporation (together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”);
(ii) as a result of the Mergers, among other things, all outstanding shares of common stock of Clover immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, at the election of the holders thereof (except with respect to the shares held by entities controlled by Vivek Garipalli and certain other holders who will receive only shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of SCH (after its Domestication) (“SCH Class B Common Stock”), which will be entitled to 10 votes per share), an amount in cash, shares of SCH Class B Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as adjusted in accordance with the Merger Agreement, which in the aggregate will equal an amount in cash of up to $500,000,000 (less any redemptions by SCH’s public shareholders) and a number of shares of SCH Class B Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the difference of $3,500,000,000 minus the total cash consideration, by (y) $10.00;
(iii) upon the effective time of the Domestication (as defined below), SCH will immediately be renamed “Clover Health Investments, Corp.”
The Board of Directors of SCH (the “Board”) has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related matters by the shareholders of SCH.
The Domestication
Prior to the Closing, subject to the approval of SCH’s shareholders, and in accordance with the DGCL, Cayman Islands Companies Law (2020 Revision) (the “CICL”) and SCH’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as may be amended from time to time, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”), SCH will effect a deregistration under the CICL and a domestication under Section 388 of the DGCL (by means of filing a certificate of domestication with the Secretary of State of Delaware), pursuant to which SCH’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”).
In connection with the Domestication, (i) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of SCH (the “SCH Class A Ordinary Shares”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of SCH (after its Domestication) (the “SCH Class A Common Stock”, and together with the SCH Class B Common Stock, the “SCH Common Stock”), which will be entitled to one vote per share, (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of SCH, will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of SCH Class A Common Stock, (iii) each then issued and outstanding warrant of SCH will convert automatically into a warrant to acquire one share of SCH Class A Common Stock (“Domesticated SCH Warrant”), pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated April 21, 2020, between SCH and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and (iv) each then issued and outstanding unit of SCH (the “Cayman SCH Units”) will convert automatically into a unit of SCH (after the Domestication) (the “Domesticated SCH Units”), with each Domesticated SCH Unit representing one share of SCH Class A Common Stock and one-third of one Domesticated SCH Warrant.
Conditions to Closing
The Merger Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) approval of the Business Combination and related agreements and transactions by the respective shareholders of SCH and Clover, (ii) effectiveness of the proxy statement / registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by SCH with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the Business Combination, (iii) expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and any other required regulatory approvals, (iv) receipt of approval for listing on the NYSE or NASDAQ the shares of SCH Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger, (v) that SCH have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon Closing, and (vi) the absence of any injunctions.
In addition, prior to the Closing, Clover will consummate the restructuring transactions as set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Pre-Closing Restructuring”), and it is a condition to the obligations of SCH and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger that the Pre-Closing Restructuring has been completed. Further, another condition to SCH’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Mergers is the absence of a material adverse effect on Clover.
Other conditions to Clover’s obligations to consummate the Mergers include, among others, that as of the Closing, (i) the Domestication has been completed, (ii) the amount of cash available in (x) the trust account into which substantially all of the proceeds of SCH’s initial public offering and private placements of its warrants have been deposited for the benefit of SCH, certain of its public shareholders and the underwriters of SCH’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), after deducting the amount required to satisfy SCH’s obligations to its shareholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem their SCH Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (but prior to payment of (a) any deferred underwriting commissions being held in the Trust Account and (b) any transaction expenses of SCH or its affiliates) (the “Trust Amount”) plus (y) the PIPE Investment (as defined below), is at least equal to or greater than $700,000,000; provided, that there is a mutual condition that the Trust Amount plus the PIPE Investment from Non-Insider PIPE Investors (as defined below) be at least $300,000,000.
Covenants

Representations and Warranties
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by SCH, Merger Sub and Clover. The representations and warranties of the respective parties to the Merger Agreement generally will not survive the Closing.
Termination
The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (i) by mutual written consent of SCH and Clover, (ii) by Clover, if certain approvals of the shareholders of SCH, to the extent required under the Merger Agreement, are not obtained as set forth therein or if there is a Modification in Recommendation (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (iii) by SCH, if certain approvals of the stockholders of Clover, to the extent required under the Merger Agreement, are not obtained within forty-eight hours after the proxy statement / registration statement on Form S-4 has been declared effective by the the SEC and delivered or otherwise made available to stockholders, (iv) by either SCH or Clover in certain other circumstances set forth in the Merger Agreement, including (a) if any Governmental Authority (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have issued or otherwise entered a final, nonappealable order making consummation of the Mergers illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Mergers and (b) in the event of certain uncured breaches by the other party or if the Closing has not occurred on or before February 10, 2021.
Certain Related Agreements
Subscription Agreements
On October 5, 2020, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, the PIPE Investors have collectively subscribed for 40,000,000 shares of the SCH Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price equal to $400,000,000 million (the “PIPE Investment”), a portion of which is expected to be funded by one or more affiliates of SCH Sponsor III LLC (the “Sponsor”, and collectively, the “Sponsor Related PIPE Investors”). The PIPE Investment will be consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing.
The Subscription Agreements for the PIPE Investors (other than the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors, whose registration rights are governed by the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement described below (the “Non-Insider PIPE Investors”)), provide for certain registration rights. In particular, SCH is required to, as soon as practicable but no later than 45 calendar days following the Closing, submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of such shares. Additionally, SCH is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the registration statement and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. The Company must use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective until the earliest of: (a) the date the Non-Insider PIPE Investors no longer hold any registrable shares, (b) the date all registrable shares held by the Non-Insider PIPE Investors may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 and (c) two years from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement.
The Subscription Agreements will terminate with no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of: (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (ii) the mutual written agreement of the parties to such Subscription Agreement; (iii) if any of the conditions to closing set forth in such Subscription Agreement are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement fail to occur; and (iv) February 10, 2021.
Sponsor Support Agreement
On October 5, 2020, SCH announced entry into a Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), by and among SCH, the Sponsor, Clover and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which the Sponsor and each director of SCH agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement.
Company Support Agreement
On October 5, 2020, SCH also announced entry into a Support Agreement (the “Company Support Agreement”), by and among SCH, Clover and certain stockholders of Clover (the “Key Stockholders”). Under the Company Support Agreement, the Key Stockholders agreed, within forty-eight hours after the proxy statement / prospectus relating to the approval by SCH stockholders of the Business Combination is declared effective by the SEC and delivered or otherwise made available to stockholders, to execute and deliver a written consent with respect to the outstanding shares of Clover common stock and preferred stock held by the Key Stockholders adopting the Merger Agreement and related transactions and approving the Business Combination and effecting the Pre-Closing Restructuring. The shares of Clover common stock and preferred stock that are owned by the Key Stockholders and subject to the Company Support Agreements represent at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of Clover common stock and each series of preferred stock (on an as converted basis).
Transfer Restrictions and Registration Rights
The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, the combined company, the Sponsor, certain equityholders of Clover and certain of their respective affiliates, as applicable, and the other parties thereto, will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which SCH will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), certain shares of SCH Common Stock and other equity securities of SCH that are held by the parties thereto from time to time. Additionally, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Bylaws of SCH contain certain restrictions on transfer with respect to the shares of SCH Common Stock held by the Sponsor or the former Clover stockholders immediately following Closing (other than shares purchased in the public market or in the PIPE Investment) (the “Lock-up Shares”). Such restrictions begin at Closing and end on the earlier of (i) the date that is 180 days after Closing and (ii)(a) for 33.33% of the Lock-up Shares, the date on which the last reported sale price of SCH Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 31 days after Closing and (b) for an additional 50% of the Lock-up Shares, the date on which the last reported sale price of SCH Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period commencing at least 31 days after Closing. The Merger Agreement also contemplates similar transfer restrictions on all equityholders of Clover under the organizational documents of the surviving corporation in the Mergers.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction between Clover and SCH.

Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of SCH’s securities, (ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by SCH’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by SCH, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of SCH, the satisfaction of the minimum Trust Account amount following redemptions by SCH’s public shareholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iv) the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed transaction, (v) the inability to complete the PIPE Investment, (vi) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (vii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on Clover’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally, (viii) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of Clover and potential difficulties in Clover employee retention as a result of the transaction, (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Clover or against SCH related to the Merger Agreement or the proposed transaction, (x) the ability to maintain the listing of SCH’s securities on a national securities exchange, (xi) the price of SCH’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which SCH plans to operate or Clover operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting SCH’s or Clover’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, (xii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities, and (xiii) the risk of downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive healthcare industry. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of SCH’s registration on Form S-1 (File No. 333-236776), the registration statement on Form S-4 discussed above and other documents filed by SCH from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Clover and SCH assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither Clover nor SCH gives any assurance that either Clover or SCH, or the combined company, will achieve its expectations.
