Clover Health Investments, Corp. (CLOV) Investigation:
The investigation concerns whether Clover engaged in illegal sales and marketing activities.
Prior to and since going public through a "blank check company," Clover has promoted its Medicare insurance sales growth, touting its "best-in-class" software platform Clover Assistant as the driver.
But on Feb. 4, 2021, Hindenburg Research released a scathing report about the company, alleging Clover's sales are instead the product of misleading marketing activities targeting the elderly and a major undisclosed related party deal.
Specifically, Hindenburg claims that Clover has concealed that the DOJ is actively investigating the company for illegal kickbacks and deceptive marketing practices. Hindenburg also alleges that the company uses a subsidiary, Seek Insurance Services, to misleadingly steer seniors toward acquiring Clover Health plans. Citing accounts from former employees, Hindenburg further states "that much of Clover's sales are fueled by a major undisclosed relationship between Clover and [B&H Assurance,] an outside brokerage firm controlled by Clover's Head of Sales (Hiram Bermudez)."
Then, on Feb. 5, 2021, Clover published a response. Although calling many of Hindenburg's claims "completely untrue," Clover admitted (1) it "was fully aware of the DOJ inquiry" (2) Bermudez's ownership in B&H Assurance, and (3) it received a letter from the SEC following Hindenburg's report.
On this news, Clover's shares have declined sharply.
"We're focused on investor losses and whether Clover may have misled investors the legality of its business practices and related financial reporting," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
