4. 4 Enron, WorldCom and Tyco Massive frauds Personal liability (triggered much concern, for the most part, overblown, particularly for outside directors)

5. 5 2002 SOX Expanded statute of limitations (from 1/3 to 2/5) Increased criminal penalties and enforcement  Boost in the SEC’s enforcement division’s funding

6. 6 NERA and Cornerstone Results Why the drop in number of suits?  Steady bull market of last few years  Turmoil among the plaintiffs attorneys  Less fraud due to fear of criminal prosecution Not all good news – Many new routes to courthouse besides class actions (Opt-outs, serious derivative litigation, SEC/DOJ) Stock option backdating cases – directors investigating (and spending the company’s money on legal fees) at the drop of a hat

7. 7 What Does The Future Hold? More invasive personal underwriting for D&O coverage More uninsured legal costs for investigations (challenge for the insurance industry to address) Movement afoot to “loosen up” SOX Conflicts between interests of companies and their D’s and O’s to become more pronounced (broad indemnification, A-side to the extreme…)

18. 18 FAQs Do I have to pay a retention/deductible if I am sued? What happens if I am accused of fraudulent conduct? Will I be covered by the D&O Insurance if someone else commits fraud? Will I be covered by the insurance contract if someone else makes misrepresentations in the application to the D&O Insurers or if the company has to restate its financials? Will the D&O Insurance protect me if the SEC pursues a formal investigation against me? If the company is sued as well as directors and officers, how does the policy respond? If the company declares bankruptcy, will the D&O policy cover me? May I have choice of counsel?

19. 19 Shopping For D&O Coverage Choosing a broker:  Expertise and Service  Proactive solutions  Relationships with markets and leveraging power  Claims advocacy and Governance consulting  Global presence Choosing a underwriter/carrier  Policy language, Pricing, Deductibles  Financial Strength/Surplus  Global presence  Internal and Experienced Claims Adjusters  Consistency Coverage  Policy language  Who’s the buyer? Board? Officers?  Limits Benchmarking – Peers or Market Cap
