Overview
Our DisclosureGap® Representations & Warranties Insurance policies provide insurance for loss incurred as a result of the breach or inaccuracy of representations and warranties made in a transaction agreement.
Our DisclosureGap® policies are designed to bridge the gap between the differing requirements of parties to a transaction regarding the contractual terms of the transaction agreement relating to:
- the scope of the representations and warranties;
- the time limit during which a claim for a breach of such representations and warranties must be made;
- the financial cap imposed on losses that can be claimed for such a breach;
- the method by which the ability of the claiming party to recover for such breach is financially secured.

DisclosureGap®
The need for DisclosureGap® policies arises when a party to a transaction is precluded from obtaining the breadth and scope of contractual protection it requires for potential breaches of representations and warranties as a result of:
-
an imbalance in the negotiating power of the parties;
-
disagreements on how financial responsibility for such breaches will be allocated;
-
the inability of one party to retain any material liabilities in respect of the transaction; or
-
questions surrounding the covenant strength of a party to the transaction.
DisclosureGap® policies can be utilized to:
- enhance a bidder’s offer by covering under the policy something which cannot be offered in the transaction agreement;
- provide an extension to what has been agreed in the transaction agreement
- regarding the time limit during which a party can claim for breaches of representations and warranties;
- and/or the financial cap on amounts that can be claimed as a result of such breaches;
- provide a financial backstop for the ability of a party to meet its obligations as a result of such breaches;
- provide a “clean exit” to the party exiting the investment in the transaction.
DisclosureGap® policies can be used by:
- The seller(s) of a business
To cover claims brought by the buyer for breaches of representations and warranties
- The buyer of a business
To cover claims brought by the buyer for breaches of representations and warranties
- any party
