On January 25, 2021, Capitol Investment Corp. V (the “Company,” “us” or “our”) announced that the holders of the Company’s units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Units”) may elect to separately trade the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and redeemable warrants included in the Units commencing on January 22, 2021. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock. Any Units not separated will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “CAP.U.” Any underlying shares of Class A Common Stock and redeemable warrants that are separated will trade on the NYSE under the symbols “CAP” and “CAP WS,” respectively. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units, and only whole warrants will trade. Holders of Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate such holders’ Units into shares of Class A Common Stock and redeemable warrants.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the separate trading of the securities underlying the Units is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s registration statement and prospectus for the offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any of which could cause actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements. The Company expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based, except as required by law.
