The party responsible for paying Representations and Warranties Insurance (RWI) premiums is negotiable and depends on the specifics of the M&A deal. In some cases, the buyer pays to protect themselves, while in others, the seller may contribute to enhance the deal’s attractiveness.
M&A Insurance covers financial losses resulting from breaches of the seller’s representations and warranties in a merger or acquisition deal. This can include inaccuracies in financial statements, undisclosed liabilities, and other misrepresentations.
The cost of M&A Insurance varies based on factors such as the size and complexity of the deal, the industry involved, the level of coverage sought, and the risk profile. Premiums are typically calculated as a percentage of the coverage limit.
