Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions can have unforeseen complications. Sellers can face liability when a representation or warranty about the company being sold is proven to be inaccurate. Significant losses can follow as the seller faces a claim. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Breckenridge Insurance has a solution.
Having Transaction Liability insurance, which typically includes representations and warranties insurance (R&W), takes care of the seller in this scenario. The insured can make a claim against the policy rather than the other party.
Transaction liability is available to buyers and sellers offering cover for representations and warranties, contingent tax, and other M&A liabilities. Both parties in a M&A agreement can take advantage of this safeguard, which could enhance bids by potential buyers and bridge differing expectations.
Key features:
- Bespoke cover
- Breach of warranties
- Clean exit
- Bid enhancement
- Limited seller security
Breckenridge Insurance has several markets available for this coverage included within our Management Liability area. Learn more about what we can do to protect your insureds’ M&A transactions here.
