The primary D&O segments include: Public Companies Private Companies Non-Profits, including Associations and Unions Financial Institutions/Financial Related Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) Trustee Liability & Trusts Distressed/Hard-to-Place Accounts Certain segments have undergone significant change. For public companies, recent judicial decisions, regulatory scrutiny, corporate scandals and industry consolidation have increased the exposures and liabilities affecting the directors & officers.

Proposals can be provided with separate limits for each coverage as well as on an aggregated (single) limit basis. Non-profit D&O is another large segment, and Mercator provides a number of competitive markets for this segment. Non-profit D&O policy forms can vary greatly. Some policy forms provide D&O only, but many have been extended to provide employment practices liability coverage (EPL) and professional liability coverage (errors & omissions or E&O). Because they see a mix of D&O accounts, they utilize a large number of D&O markets for all types of D&O in all states. Not all of these markets are willing to quote each account, but they are typically able to obtain competitive terms on most accounts. Mercator can offer primary limits of up to $10 million, and also significant excess limits. Minimum premiums vary depending upon the class, but start as low as $950. Minimum deductibles start as low as $0! Mercator Risk Services can usually utilize an application you have to get started (other than a renewal application), or they can provide a specialized application for your client.

Directors and Officers Liability insurance coverage is designed to give financial relief when the management of a company is pursued legally. The D&O insurance policy will cover defense costs for investigations or trails against a company's directors and officers. Each insurance company’s policy will employ its own language, but in general terms: Insuring Agreement A, often referred to as “A-Side Coverage,” typically provides coverage directly to the directors and officers for loss – including defense costs – resulting from claims made against them for their wrongful acts. A-Side Coverage applies where the corporation does not indemnify its directors and officers. Insuring Agreement B, or “B-side coverage,” reimburses a corporation for its loss where the corporation indemnifies its directors and officers for claims against them. B-side coverage does not provide coverage for the corporation for its own liability. The language and conditions of Insuring Clause B typically mirror Insuring Clause A. Many D&O policies offer an optional coverage to protect the corporation against securities claims.
