D&O ISSUES AND TRENDS STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY TRENDS • Merger/acquisition activity picking up • Three mergers involving six members announced • According to Tillinghast’s 2004 D&O liability survey, six percent of D&O shareholder claims allegations are from merger/acquisitions • EIM’s experience: $16,250,000 paid in merger/acquisition activity related claims
D&O ISSUES AND TRENDS ISSUES SECTION 404 COMPLIANCE • Unclear what implications are from regulatory enforcement or private action perspective EFFECT OF SETTLEMENTS • Still in pipeline - D&O claims estimated at $10B to settle minimum; probably $25B total • EIM $256M in case reserves as of 12/31/04 • At the same time, more capacity, lower rates in market • Competition on difficult D&O renewals!
