The Right QuestionsTo illustrate the point, it is useful to recap first ona few basics. Side B D&O insurance protectionis purchased as balance sheet protection in theevent that the company must pay for the defence,and expense of litigation and settlement onbehalf of its directors and officers. It is generallythe duty of the corporation to indemnify inaccordance with its bylaws. Depending on howcountries, where reimbursement protection forlocal indemnity payments, regulate unlicensedor unauthorised insurance, jurisdictional nuancescan affect the efficacy of insurance payments forcovered loss. Such nuances can lead to a morefundamental problem for Side A cover since itmay be questionable whether specific countrieswould even permit indemnification. More andmore, the certainty of indemnification appearsto be a simplistic assumption that may actuallymiss the mark of what Side A protection canactually afford. In fact, many Side A buyers makethe determination whether to purchase theseMore and more, the certaintyof indemnification appears tobe a simplistic assumption thatmay actually miss the mark ofwhat Side A protection canactually afford.policies only by asking the question about whetherlocal laws and regulations permit indemnity. Sucha linear approach may not achieve the goal ofprotecting the personal assets of the corporation’sdirectors and officers at all. Side A coverage, ofcourse, is intended to provide insurance to protectthe personal assets of the individuals where noindemnification is available by the corporation —whether because of something as indisputable asbankruptcy or something less legitimate. Notablecountries where the law is silent on indemnificationrights yet D&O insurance can be (and is routinely)purchased by corporations on their behalf includeArgentina, Colombia, South Korea, Switzerland, UAEand the Netherlands.Conversely, and to further expand the point,many D&O underwriters believe that a French orSpanish corporation cannot use corporate assets toindemnify its directors for defence costs. However,what may not be clearly understood is that thereis no law in either country expressly prohibitinga corporation from doing so. Many sophisticatedbuyers of D&O insurance continue to purchase aEuropean Union Freedom of Services (FOS) policywith Side AB protection with the expectation thatSide A will be the only section of the policy torespond to events triggering a D&O liability.In our view, there are two additional questionscritical to the analysis: (i) whether indemnity isexpressly prohibited or restricted (and what thelimitations are to any such prohibition or restriction);and (ii) what is a director to do should thecorporation choose not to indemnify him or her fordefence costs? These may provide better guidanceas to what insurance solutions are needed.2. Using Corporate Assets To PayLitigation CostsInterestingly, Brazil, India, China and Russia –countries where many European multinationalsare building their footprints and where growth isexpected to outperform the West in the decadesahead — currently do not address the concept ofthe use of corporate assets to indemnify directorsand officers at all. In fact, these countries’ laws(and those of many others) are silent on the issue.This suggests they have acknowledged the marketacceptance of a local corporation purchasing D&Oinsurance (for instance, Brazil requires that stockcompanies disclose the limits of D&O insurancepurchased, and since 2001, Chinese law hasexpressly permitted corporations to purchaseD&O insurance under certain conditions). So,whilst the law in these countries says nothingon whether indemnification is permitted, the lawexpressly permits the purchase of insurance, andconsequently the safest route for corporationsto take to ensure their directors and officers areprotected is to buy D&O cover.Some countries’ laws give the appearance ofexpressly permitting indemnification but in factonly provide such restricted rights for companiesto indemnify that it is of little practical use to04
