LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MediaAlpha, Inc. (NYSE: MAX), the insurance industry\u2019s leading programmatic customer acquisition platform, today announced that it has repurchased 1.13 million shares of its Class A common stock from an affiliate of White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (NYSE: WTM) for approximately $16.0 million. MediaAlpha bought the shares in a privately negotiated transaction at $14.15 per share, a discount of approximately 5.5% to the closing price of its Class A common stock on November 11, 2026. The repurchased shares will be canceled and retired.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe opportunistically repurchased a significant number of shares at a discount to the market price because we are confident in MediaAlpha\u2019s strategy, execution, and multi-year growth prospects,\u201d said Tigran Sinanyan, Chief Financial Officer of MediaAlpha. \u201cIncluding this transaction, we have repurchased $131 million of our stock since July 2025, or approximately 18% of our shares outstanding at that time, and we expect stock repurchases to be a part of our capital allocation strategy for the foreseeable future.\u201d<\/p>\n

White Mountains, MediaAlpha\u2019s largest stockholder, has been an investor since 2014. Following the transaction, White Mountains owned approximately 11.3 million shares of MediaAlpha\u2019s Class A common stock, representing approximately 19% of its total outstanding shares.<\/p>\n
