liability)

Reps & Warranties Insurance: Policy Considerations

Duration of Policy

Cost and Coverage Limits

Retention / Deductible

Definition of Loss

Materiality Scrape

Exclusions

Policies generally survive for longer periods than in the underlying acquisition agreement

Premiums typically are 3% to 4% of the policy limit (one-time payment) and insureds are able to purchase coverage in

excess of amount available via traditional indemnity

Retentions on R&W policies are typically between 1 and 2% of enterprise value

Carriers are typically willing to be silent with respect to consequential and multiplied damages (as opposed to having

exclusions for those types of damages)

Carriers are typically willing to recognize materiality scrapes for purposes of determining the existence of a breach of a

rep and losses related thereto

Policies contain “Actual Knowledge” exclusion and exclusions for forward looking statements, working capital adjustments,

asbestos and PCBs, and pension underfunding

Claims Paying Experience? Asahi Related to Asahi’s 2011 acquisition of Pacific Equity Partners and Unitas -- $180M paid by insurers

Lixil Related to Lixil’s 2013 acquisition of Grohe Group -- €360M claim

Anecdotal

“AIG paid three claims in excess of $20 million in 2014 for financial statements related breaches and over $100 million for R&WI related claims around the world.”

“Concord investigated the magnitude of the damages (including the degree to which future EBITDA would be adversely affected) and amicably resolved the claim using a multiple-based calculation amounting to approximately $7.5 million above the applicable retention amount, which Concord then promptly paid.” Ageas v. Kwik-Fit

• Breach of financial statement rep – two aspects of bad debt reserves inaccurate. Coverage dispute over calculation of covered Loss – Consequential damages covered (i.e., coverage for amount that insured overpaid based upon inaccurate information/breached rep).

Tax Indemnity Insurance Overview Coverage

Insures against the financial consequences of an intended tax treatment being disallowed by relevant tax authority in situations where:

• There is no clear precedence or guidance • Tax authority approval (e.g., PLR) is not available or cannot be received in required time frame • Potential downside is significant relative to transaction size / financial model does not allow

for “margin for error”

Tax indemnity insurance most commonly used to: • Insure the conclusion of a tax opinion or backstop / replace the subject matter of a tax

indemnity

Typical Uses

• 355 spin-offs • 338(h)(10) elections/S-Corp issues • Cancellation of indebtedness • NOL protection

• Successor liability • Tax-free reorganizations • Liquidating trust status • Capital gain v. ordinary income treatment

Tax Insurance Case Study Background

• Buyer: Portfolio company of US PE firm • Seller: Individual shareholders of target • Target: Retail clothing company

Issue • Buyer wanted to make a 338(h)(10) election to take advantage of certain tax deductions it could take after

the deal closed, but was concerned about potential difficulty collecting on an indemnity claim in the event the IRS challenged that “S-status” and subsequently invalidated the 338(h)(10) election

Solution • Tax indemnity insurance policy provided to buyer and no indemnity from seller was required • Limit: $17.5 million • Retention: $250,000 (for defense costs only) • Policy period: 6 years • Insurance would respond in the event the IRS challenged the target’s “S-status,” which would invalidate

buyer’s 338(h)(10) election • Policy covered the future tax savings that the buyer would lose as a result of the election invalidation

Tax Insurance Case Study

19

Background • Seller: US PE firm • Buyer: US PE firm • Target: Portfolio company of the seller • Purchase price: ~$170 million

Issue • During diligence, it was discovered that the target inadvertently failed to comply with the consent

requirement for the filing of consolidated federal income tax returns from 2007 onward • Target requested relief from the IRS for such inadvertent failure; however, the uncertainty as to whether the

IRS would grant such relief and the expected four to six month response time created a deal point

Solution • Tax insurance policy provided to buyer and no indemnity from seller was required • Limit: $20 million • Retention: $50,000 (for defense costs only) • Policy period: 6 years • Buyer utilized insurance strategically to improve its bid by not requiring an indemnity from the seller in

relation to the identified tax risk

Contingent Liability Insurance Case Study

22

Background • Sellers: 5 individuals that founded the target • Buyer: US PE firm • Target: Direct sales marketer of apparel business of sellers • Purchase price: ~$200 million

Issue • Buyer purchased 88.5% of the target (management rolling over the remaining) • Purchase price funded with $100 million in debt, $80 million of which was used to pay sellers via a

distribution • Sellers were concerned that in the event the target was to become insolvent, the distribution could be

determined to be an avoidable transfer

Solution • Contingency insurance policy was purchased • Limit: $50 million • Retention: $250,000 (for defense costs only) • Policy period: 6 years for all reps and warranties • Sellers utilized insurance to limit their exposure to potential “avoidable transfer” claims
