Market Leading CODA® Coverage — the Broadest and Most Reliable Difference in Condition (DIC) Coverage in the Market
Chubb’s CODA® Policy offers directors and officers the insurance they need to protect their personal assets, offering broad, comprehensive cover that cannot be canceled or rescinded for any reason, except for non-payment of premium.
Our suite of CODA® products include Independent Director Liability (IDL), Officer Only, Retired Director, and CODA® Netherlands. Additionally, we write Side A XS DIC in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland under “NorDIC”. Together with our colleagues at Chubb Bermuda, we have decades of specialist Side A D&O underwriting experience through various market cycles and a proven track record of paying Side A/DIC claims, with more than $150M paid out since 2010. See our latest Sample Side A Claims brochure here.
Public Offering of Securities Insurance (POSI)
POSI coverage offers protection against legal liability arising from a public offering, such as an IPO and debt or equity raises. Liability can arise from a number of areas, including alleged misrepresentation in the prospectus, information given out during the ‘road show’, and mismanagement.
Coverage is available not only for directors, but also for the company and any controlling or selling shareholders. Chubb offers dedicated limits to ring fence the transaction exposure, giving the company’s D&O policy freedom to respond to more regular ongoing corporate risks. As litigation can be brought many years after the offering, Chubb provides multi-year protection to align with the applicable statute of limitations. Additionally, we offer tailored solutions for specified non-indemnifiable directors and officers, including DIC coverage.
Employment Practices Liability
The financial consequences of employee claims for harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation, and other workplace torts can have a devastating impact on even the largest corporations. Chubb Bermuda International’s Employment Practices Liability protection can help mitigate losses from past, present, and prospective employees alleging
