Companies involved in a purchase and sale, asset, or share transaction—either on the buyer or seller side—face exposure to significant financial risk arising from the breach of a representation or warranty.

Mergers & acquisitions/transactional risk insurance provides peace of mind for such exposure, and can be purchased by either the buyer or seller.

For the buyer side, benefits can include:

  • Protecting the buyer from a seller’s breach of a representation or warranty
  • Reducing the indemnity required by the seller
  • Providing for extended duration of the representations and warranties

For the seller side, benefits can include:

  • Protecting the seller from losses arising from an alleged breach
  • Reducing the amount of required indemnity
  • Protecting the seller from an unintentional breach of a representation and warranty
