Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 27, 2021, Aleka Insurance, Inc. (“Aleka”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uber Technologies, Inc. (“Uber”), entered into a Loss Portfolio Transfer Reinsurance Agreement (the “LPTA”) with James River Insurance Company and James River Casualty Company, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of James River Group Holdings, Ltd. (“James River”).

Pursuant to the LPTA, Aleka will reinsure certain automobile liability insurance risks relating to activity on the Uber platform between 2013 and 2019 in exchange for payment by James River to Aleka of a premium in the amount of approximately $345.1 million (“Premium”). In connection with the LPTA, claims currently administered by James River will be transferred to a third-party claims administrator for ongoing handling. Uber expects to record expenses associated with this transaction in the third quarter of 2021, which will be excluded from the quarter’s Adjusted EBITDA. The Premium and assets presented as Collateral Held by Insurer on Uber’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 will be deposited into trusts and presented as restricted cash, with an associated benefit to cash flows from operations in the third quarter of 2021.
