Why Use M&A Insurance?
Key Reasons for Using M&A Insurance
There are numerous reasons why parties and advisors involved in corporate transactions choose to use M&A insurance:
Distressed Transactions
In distressed transactions, the seller may be unable or unwilling to provide recourse to the buyer for breaches of the sale agreement warranties. M&A insurance offers a solution, allowing the deal to proceed.
Clean Exit for Sellers
It enables sellers to achieve a clean exit, particularly in competitive auction processes, by transferring potential post-transaction liabilities to an insurer.
Address Identified Exposures
Insurance can address liabilities associated with exposures identified by the buyer during due diligence, providing an extra layer of protection and peace of mind.
Enhanced Buyer Protection
It provides buyers with alternative or improved warranty protection beyond what the sellers have agreed to, ensuring better coverage and security.
Smoother Negotiations
By covering potential warranty breaches, M&A insurance helps smooth the deal negotiation process, facilitating easier and more efficient transactions.
Competitive Advantage in Auctions
Offering M&A insurance can differentiate a bid during an auction process, making it more attractive to sellers by mitigating risks.
Ensuring Deal Completion
M&A insurance can be the key to enabling a deal to proceed rather than fail, providing the necessary assurance to all parties involved.
