16 Insurance-related Provisions For Deal Agreements Tails 31 Who will pay for the tail? Consider caps How long will the tail(s) be? Reps & Warranties Insurance Elements of Purchase Agreement 32 Seller makes statements regarding the business being sold Reps & Warranties Buyer wants financial recourse against the Seller if statements aren t accurate & Buyer sustains a loss Indemnification Seller seeks to: Limit the length of time it s on the hook for breaches of R&W Survival Period of R&W Define the maximum amount of the indemnification The Cap Make sure the Buyer pays a minimum amount before requesting indemnification The Basket Buyer wants security that there will be financial resources to back up Seller s indemnification obligations and/or Escrow R&W Policy 16
17 Reps & Warranties Insurance 33 Reps & Warranties Insurance can insure either buyers or sellers in M&A transactions for liability arising out of a breach of a rep or warranty about the target company or business discovered post-closing. Buyer-side policy pays the buyer directly for such losses and can be used to supplement the seller s escrow / indemnification cap. Seller-side policy reimburses the seller for such losses and can be used to backstop the seller s escrow / indemnification cap. R&W Policies can cover all reps & warranties in Purchase Agreement (environmental reps limited to a few insurers) Structure depends on objectives of parties Buyers Reps & Warranties Insurance Increase maximum indemnity / extend survival period for breaches of reps & warranties Distinguish bid in auction Protect key relationships Ease collection concerns Provide recourse when no seller indemnity possible (public company sales, bankruptcy) Why buy R&W Insurance? Sellers Reduce contingent liabilities Distribute sale proceeds Protect passive sellers Expedite sale process Attract best offers by maximizing indemnification 34 17

19 Situation Reps & Warranties Insurance Distinguish Bid In Auction Case Studies Strategic buyer was bidding on privately-held asset management company in a hotly contested auction Buyer expected all bids to be substantially similar on price (approximately $100 million) and wanted to distinguish its bid without raising price Solution Aon structured and negotiated principal terms of a Buyer-side R&W Policy prior to Buyer s bid being submitted Buyer submitted its bid with lower than customary indemnification request ($2 million escrow), confident that R&W Policy would be in place if it won the bid R&W Policy included as a condition to closing $15 million limit; $2 million retention (equal to escrow) 37 Obtaining Coverage: Phase I Procedures 38 Broker Selection Required documentation Acquisition agreement and disclosure schedules (if available) Financial statements of the acquired company or business Offering memorandum, if any Confidentiality agreement can be provided upon request Preliminary review of transaction Review of required documentation Conference call with applicant and its advisors to discuss Submission to Selected Insurance Markets Non-Binding Quotes Obtained (2 3 days) Outlines the general terms and conditions of the proposed R&W insurance Insurers do not charge a fee to provide a Non-Binding Quote -- once an applicant decides to move forward and executes the Quote, an underwriting fee ($10K-$25K) is required 19
20 Obtaining Coverage: Phase II Procedures 39 Select insurer(s) to commence Phase II Due Diligence Insurers conduct a high level review of the transaction Access to data room / review of transaction materials Conduct underwriting calls with the applicant and its advisors Review is akin to a second look or audit of the underlying due diligence / disclosure process Insurers make final coverage determination Manuscript policy is negotiated concurrently with Insurer Due Diligence Binder agreement Insurer(s) issue a binder agreement specifying the key coverage terms (e.g., premium, retention and limit of liability) The negotiated policy is attached as an exhibit to the binder agreement Phase II takes approximately 7 10 business days (can be faster, if necessary) Policy issued generally 30 days after the Closing, subject to satisfaction of conditions in Binder (can be faster, if necessary) Tax Insurance 40 Tax Insurance protects against failure of a transaction or situation, whether current or historical, to qualify for its intended tax treatment. 20
