TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HCI Group, Inc.

"We believe we have the resources to execute TypTap’s growth plan without the funds raised from an IPO. We will continue to monitor market conditions over the next several quarters and will move forward with a TypTap IPO when and if conditions are appropriate.”
