(1) WM Hinson (Bermuda) Ltd. (“WM Hinson”) is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of White Mountains. WM Hinson directly holds 21,956,814 Class A Shares.

(2) The calculation is based on 51,579,274 Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2024, as reported on the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on May 2, 2024. WM Hinson does not beneficially own any Class B Shares and, as a result, the calculation does not assume the exchange of any Class B Shares for Class A Shares.

Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment No. 3”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 30, 2023 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, this “Schedule 13D”) is being filed jointly by White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (“White Mountains”) and WM Hinson (Bermuda) Ltd. (“WM Hinson” and, together with White Mountains, the “Reporting Persons”) with respect to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Shares”), of MediaAlpha, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

The purpose of this Amendment No. 3 is to report a change in the percentage of the Class A Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons solely due to the change in the number of outstanding Class A Shares as disclosed in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on May 2, 2024.

Except as set forth below, all Items of this Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in this Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a)-(b) is amended and restated as follows:

(a)-(b) The information set forth on the cover pages of this Amendment No. 3, and the information set forth or incorporated by reference in Items 2, 3, 4 and 6 of this Schedule 13D are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5(a)-(b). The Class A Shares held by the Reporting Persons represent approximately 44.3% of the outstanding Class A Shares. Such percentage is calculated based on a total number of 51,579,274 Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2024, as reported on the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on May 2, 2024.

The table below sets forth, based on the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the beneficial ownership of the Class A Shares of the persons listed in Annex A, as of the date of this Amendment No. 3.



Name	Class A Shares Beneficial Ownership(1)	Beneficial Ownership Percentage of Class A Shares(2)
Steven Yi(3)	1,801,137	3.49%
Robert L. Seelig	9,000	0.02%
John G. Sinkus	750	<0.01%



(1)									Assuming the exchange of any Class B Shares beneficially owned, together with a corresponding number of Class B-1 Units, for a number of Class A Shares equal to the number of Class B Shares exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

(2)									Represents the percentage of Class A Shares beneficially owned, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Exchange Act. The calculation is based on 51,579,274 Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2024, as reported on the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on May 2, 2024.

(3)									OBF Investments, LLC a Nevada limited liability company (“OBF”) holds 3,923,885 Class B Shares. OBF Investments is owned by trusts for the benefit of Mr. Yi and members of his family. Mr. Yi does not have any voting or dispositive control over the shares held by OBF. See the Schedule 13D filed by OBF and its Manager, Jason Heiling, on June 25, 2021, for additional information with respect to OBF.

By virtue of the relationships described under Item 2 of this Schedule 13D, White Mountains may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, to share the power to vote or dispose, or to direct the voting or disposition of the Class A Shares directly held by WM Hinson.

Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims membership in a group with each other Reporting Person. The filing of this Amendment No. 3 shall not be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any of the Class A Shares that such Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, all of the Reporting Persons, other than with respect to Class A Shares directly held by such Reporting Person as described on each cover page to this Amendment No. 3, disclaim beneficial ownership of all Class A Shares reported in this Amendment No. 3. In addition, the filing of this Amendment No. 3 shall not be construed as an admission that any partner, member, director, officer or affiliate of any Reporting Person is the

[[6346389]]

beneficial owner of any of the Class A Shares that such partner, member, director, officer or affiliate may be deemed to beneficially own.

In addition, because of the relationships among White Mountains and WM Hinson, on the one hand, and the other Stockholders’ Agreement Parties, on the other hand, as a result of the Stockholders Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed, pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Act, to beneficially own the Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class B-1 Units held in aggregate by the other Stockholders’ Agreement Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the filing of this Amendment No. 3 shall not be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class B-1 Units that such Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own. Further, each of the Reporting Persons disclaims membership in a group with each other Stockholders’ Agreement Party.

Item 5(c) is amended and supplemented as follows:

On March 15, 2024, Mr. Yi was granted 6,400 restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive a Class A Share upon vesting. All such RSUs will vest on June 15, 2024, subject to continued employment with the Issuer through the applicable vesting date.

On March 15, 2024, Mr. Yi was granted 291,400 RSUs. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive a Class A Share upon vesting. One sixteenth of such RSUs will vest on May 15, 2024 and the remainder will vest quarterly over the following four years, in each case subject to continued employment with the Issuer through each vesting date.

On March 15, 2024, Mr. Yi was granted 43,750 performance based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”). Each PRSU represents a contingent right to receive a Class A Share upon vesting. The PRSUs will vest based on the achievement of certain financial measures determined by the Issuer’s Compensation Committee. The number of PRSUs granted is based on achievement of 150% of the target incentive amount. Achievement of the minimum, target, or maximum level for a measure would result in a value of 50%, 100%, or 150%, respectively, of the target incentive amount tied to that financial measure. The total amount earned shall be divided by the average closing price of the Class A Shares for the 20-day period ended as of the Friday preceding the Issuer’s Compensation Committee’s determination of the achievement of such financial measures (rounded up to the nearest whole share) to determine the number of PRSUs to be vested.

On February 15, 2024, Mr. Yi acquired 18,294 Class A Shares, which Class A Shares were issued upon the vesting of RSUs under the Issuer’s Omnibus Incentive Plan. On the vesting date, the closing price per Class A Share was $15.94.
