Introducing the NEW Executive PlusTM Directors and Officers Liability (Clause 1 DIC)

RLI EPG's Executive PlusTM has key enhancements and extraordinary provisions that provide unparalleled protection for your insureds.

See how our enhanced Clause 1 DIC policy stacks up against the competition.

Executive Plus protects the personal assets of the directors and officers when the corporation cannot or will not indemnify or when other insurance has been exhausted or is not available. It provides a stand-alone Clause 1 limit of liability for the directors and officers only, separate from the corporate entity policy.

Our revamped Executive PlusTM coverage includes the following extraordinary provisions:

  • SOX 308 civil penalties coverage
  • No definition of application
  • Definition of defense expenses, including extradition expense
  • Definition of insured person, including trusts
  • Definition of loss, including public offering of securities
  • Definition of loss includes civil penalties under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
  • I v. I exclusion with explicit carve-back for whistleblower
  • Bilateral discovery with explicit three (3) year quote option
