A lotto drawing of one of these popular numbers can have serious implications for managers of state lotteries that pay a guaranteed amount to every person holding a ticket with the winning numbers. One such state asked Global Risk Solutions to develop a strategic solution that addressed this risk. The state s lotto management team had a significant amount of data collected over 20+ years, including the frequency of bets on each number.

2 Facilitating a Financing Transaction CUSTOMIZED RISK TRANSFER Industry Entertainment Motivation A company planned to finance its purchase of the revenue rights with respect to certain intellectual property. The company sought to attract investors and financing entities by evidencing insurance protection on the revenue expected to be generated from the assets in order to strengthen the company s tax position on the entire purchase of the rights. A significant amount of data about the revenue risk was available from independent third parties. The company was willing to retain a significant portion of the risk.

3 Managing Retained Cyber Security Risks BLENDED STRUCTURE Industry Manufacturing Motivation A multinational manufacturing company had been retaining network security and privacy risks. However, the increased frequency, severity, and sophistication of security breaches in the market coupled with a need to disclose how they address cyber risks including relevant coverage, prompted the company to seek a cost-effective insurance solution. Structure A blended structure combining indemnity and risk transfer covering failure of the insured s network security, failure to protect personally identifiable information, violation of any statute regarding failure to protect private information, and leased computers Event Management insurance provides first party coverage for costs to retain public relations services to assist in managing and mitigating a covered privacy or network security incident, including costs associated with notifying consumers of a release of private information, providing credit-monitoring or other remediation services, and losses to information assets Term One year Coverage(s) Security & Privacy liability insurance Limit $100 million per occurrence and in the aggregate Retention SIR of $10 million per occurrence First $50 million of loss excess the SIR is supported by an indemnification agreement Provides evidence of insurance with the convenience of a single policy Cost-effective solution since significant risk is retained by the company Minimal collateral required to support indemnification due to strong credit rating Ability to address SEC guidance regarding disclosure of cyber security risks

4 Multi-Year Settlement Payout BUYOUT Industry Motivation Manufacturing As a result of a property loss, client was owed over $100 million under its two primary property policies. Rather than receive a lump-sum settlement, client wanted a portion of the proposed loss settlement ($74 million) paid out over 10 years to better match its future additional lease obligations. Due to the long term nature of the payment schedule, client wanted to transfer the fiduciary responsibility to a carrier with strong financials. Structure Buyout of any liabilities that the original insurers had to the client with respect to the one specified, covered loss under the two property policies in-force AIG agreed to pay out $74 million according to a set schedule of semi-annual payments over 10 years in exchange for the client s promise to release AIG from further liability, and to indemnify AIG for any other third party claims made against it regarding the assumed claim Term Ten years Coverage(s) Limit A novation/assumption of the original occurrence for property and business interruption (BI) insurance policies Settlement amount: $74 million The multi-year, semi-annual settlement payments coincided with the approximate additional annual business interruption extra expense that the client would incur in future periods as a result of the underlying property loss. The client was able to novate the two original insurance policies which were simultaneously assumed by a higher-rated insurer (AIG). The assuming insurer then settled the outstanding loss for a present value of $59 million, which the insurer converted into a 10-year cash flow settlement totaling $74 million.
