Description of Business, Background and Nature of Operations | Description of Business, Background and Nature of Operations Open Lending Corporation (either individually or together with its subsidiaries, as the context requires, the “Company”), headquartered in Austin, Texas, provides loan analytics, risk-based loan pricing, risk modeling and automated decision technology for automotive lenders throughout the United States of America (the “U.S.”), which enables each lending institution to book near-prime and non-prime automotive loans, coupled with real-time underwriting of loan default insurance, out of their existing business flow. The Company also operates as a third-party administrator that adjudicates insurance claims and premium adjustments on automotive loans. The Company’s flagship product, Lenders Protection Platform (“LPP”), is a cloud-based automotive lending platform. LPP supports loans made to near-prime and non-prime borrowers and is designed to underwrite default insurance by linking automotive lenders to insurance companies. The platform uses risk-based pricing models that enable automotive lenders to assess the credit risk of a potential borrower using data driven analysis. The Company’s proprietary risk models project loan performance, including expected losses and prepayments in arriving at the optimal rate. LPP generates a risk-based, all-inclusive interest rate for a loan that is customized to each automotive lender, reflecting cost of capital, loan servicing and acquisition costs, expected recovery rates and target return on assets. Nebula Acquisition Corporation (“Nebula”), our predecessor, was originally incorporated in Delaware on October 2, 2017 as a special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
