TRANSACTIONAL RISK
THE FUTURE IS NOW INSURANCE INTERMEDIARY, INSURANCE ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT AND ADVISORY SERVICES FIRM. Vanbridge was conceived out of the desire to better serve the alternative asset management community by bridging the traditional insurance industry and capital markets and allowing them to tap into the best aspects of both. Our goal was to build a boutique firm that provided all of the services related to insurance, reinsurance and the capital markets in a single organization. We ve succeeded. Today, Vanbridge and its subsidiaries focus on our alternative asset management, (re)insurance and corporate clients with solutions that mitigate risk through insurance, reinsurance, capital markets and M&A advisory services. Vanbridge works with its clients to solve risk related issues utilizing insurance and alternative capital with structuring techniques that support their investment strategies and reduce costs, thereby enhancing EBITDA and strengthening long-term financial performance. Vanbridge also provides advisory and liability management services to assist clients in evaluating and executing their options in managing risk and maximizing the enterprise value of their businesses. What makes us different is the strength and flexibility of our business model and our ability to provide this full-range of insurance and capital advisory solutions without the limitations of the traditional silo approach. No one insurance broker or investment bank currently offers this total integrated approach as a combined business enterprise we do. No Silos, Just Solutions. 2
TRANSACTIONAL RISK
TRANSACTIONAL RISK PROVIDING A SUPPLEMENT OR ALTERNATIVE TO INDEMNIFICATION, ESCROWS AND HOLD-BACKS The Market For Transactional Risk Insurance And Specifically Reps And Warranties Coverage Has Exploded In The Past Three Years. Reps and warranties products have grown because the M&A community has realized that the value of these products is only partly related to risk. The biggest driver is the efficient use of capital. If the Seller s proceeds are tied up in an escrow they are losing almost all of potential return on capital. It is much more efficient to pay a one time premium of 3% of the limit of liability in order to get access to cash sooner. Other factors that have helped the product grow include; Significant favorable claims resolution; More streamlined underwriting process; Lower fees and premiums; Increased support from the legal community. 4
TRANSACTION RISK COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS VANBRIDGE S INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM APPROACH ENSURES CLIENTS RECEIVE A COMPREHENSIVE, WELL THOUGHT OUT SOLUTION, TAILORED TO THEIR SPECIFIC SITUATION, USING THE BEST POSSIBLE RISK CAPITAL PROVIDERS. Transactional insurance products are intended to provide a supplement or alternative to indemnification, escrows and hold-backs. Rather than funding these liabilities, these products provide protection against specific contingent liabilities. Transactional Risk Insurance Has Three Related/Complementary Products: REPRESENTATION & WARRANTY INSURANCE ( REPS INSURANCE ) Covers loss caused by a seller s misrepresentation. TAX INSURANCE Covers loss caused by the disallowance of a covered tax position. CONTINGENT LIABILITY INSURANCE Covers loss caused by a final judgment or regulatory order adverse to the insured risk e.g., successor liability, pending or threatened litigation or regulatory matter. BOTTOM LINE Sellers can remove deal issues from negotiation in advance through tailored insurance solutions; Buyers can resolve issues through insurance while obtaining better terms from seller. 5
TRANSACTIONAL RISK REPS EXPRESS AN EFFECTIVE INSURANCE SOLUTION TO ADDRESS THE NEED FOR LOWER LIMIT R&W PROGRAMS. Limits available up to $10MM All industries (other than healthcare and core financial institutions) Up front underwriting provides comfort that coverage will be available As the market for Reps and Warranties insurance has grown exponentially over the last few years, the Underwriters have become less willing to insure deals that needed less than $10,000,000 of coverage. Depending on the insurance limit as a percentage of the deal size, that means that insurance isn t available for as much as 35% of the U.S. M&A deals. (Factset Data) To address this issue, Vanbridge worked with Concord Specialty, one of the most respected firms in the industry to create RepsExpress (www.repsexpress.com) Pre-negotiated form with built in coverage enhancements Streamlined underwriting process: Non-binding indicating letter within 48 hours of Vanbridge review A-rated paper Coverage for either buyer or seller (with a preference for buy-side policies) 6
