On November 2, 2018, HIIQ announced that it had immediately suspended its relationship with Health Benefits One LLC ("HBO"), an entity which the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") alleged had misleadingly sold HII policies, among others, as "comprehensive health insurance." HIIQ additionally stated that, for the 2018 fiscal year to date, HBO "was the agency of record for less than 10% of HIIQ's submitted policies."

On this news, HIIQ's stock price fell $4.47 per share, more than 8%, to close at $46.27 per share on November 2, 2018. HIIQ's stock price continued to decline over the next trading session to close at $39.62 per share on November 5, 2018.

Then, on November 27, 2018, Aurelius Value published a report entitled "HIIQ: Boiler Rooms, 'Worthless' Policies, and Defrauded Families," alleging, among other things, that more than half of the Company's revenues were derived from boiler room operations that had recently been shut down by the FTC and that a "material portion" of the Company's policies were likely "contaminated by insurance fraud." Following this news, HIIQ's stock price fell $1.93, or nearly 6%, to close at $31.20 per share on November 27, 2018.
