**Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant**

*(a) Dismissal of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm; (b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.*

On March 17, 2023, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of Hippo Holdings Inc. (the "Company") appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and on the same day voted to approve the dismissal of EY as its independent registered public accounting firm. EY served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since 2019. The appointment of Deloitte is subject to satisfactory completion of Deloitte's standard client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter.

EY's audit reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and during the subsequent interim period through March 17, 2023, there were (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to EY's satisfaction, would have caused EY to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) no "reportable events" as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company provided EY with a copy of the disclosures in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Report") prior to filing this Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company has requested that EY furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not EY agrees with the statements above. A copy of EY's letter dated March 23, 2023 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and during the subsequent interim period through March 17, 2023, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with Deloitte, regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a "disagreement" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a "reportable event" (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
