What is POSI?
Public offering of securities insurance typically refers to insurance policies designed to cover the risks associated with public offerings of securities. When a company issues securities to the public (such as through an initial public offering or IPO), there are inherent risks, including potential legal claims or regulatory issues that might arise.
This insurance helps protect the company and its officers from financial losses due to issues like misstatements or omissions in the offering documents, or claims arising from the offering process. It’s often part of a broader suite of insurance products aimed at managing financial and legal risks associated with the issuance and sale of securities.
Basic Coverages
Public offering of securities insurance, also known as “IPO insurance” or “public offering insurance,” typically includes several key coverages:
- Errors and Omissions: Covers legal costs and damages arising from misstatements, omissions, or inaccuracies in the registration statement or prospectus.
- Underwriters’ Liability: Protects the underwriters and their affiliates against claims related to the public offering, such as those arising from alleged misrepresentations or failures in the offering documents.
- Director and Officer Liability: Provides coverage for directors and officers of the company against claims of wrongful acts related to the offering process.
- Regulatory Actions: Covers costs associated with defending against regulatory investigations or enforcement actions related to the offering.
- Securities Claims: Protects against claims made by investors related to the offering, including securities fraud claims.
These coverages aim to safeguard the company, its executives, and its underwriters from financial losses and legal costs arising from the public offering process.
Add on coverages
In addition to the basic coverages of public offering of securities insurance, there are several add-on coverages that can be included to enhance protection:
- Extended Reporting Period (ERP): Provides additional coverage for claims made after the policy period has ended, often crucial for long-term protection against future claims.
- Side A D&O Coverage: Specifically covers directors and officers when the company cannot indemnify them, such as in cases of bankruptcy or when indemnification is legally prohibited.
- Loss Mitigation: Covers costs associated with efforts to minimize or mitigate potential losses related to the public offering.
- Employment Practices Liability: Extends coverage to claims related to employment practices during or following the offering process, such as wrongful termination or discrimination claims.
- Cyber Liability: Protects against risks associated with data breaches or cyberattacks that could impact the public offering or investor data.
- Environmental Liability: Provides coverage for claims related to environmental issues that might arise from the offering process or the company’s operations.
- Regulatory and Compliance Costs: Covers expenses related to responding to regulatory inquiries and compliance-related issues that are not included in the basic policy.
These add-ons help tailor the insurance policy to address specific risks and exposures that a company might face during a public offering.
