CNA is now marketing a director’s & officers (D&O) Lead Side A Difference in Conditions Policy, a move designed to address the increased M&A among insurers.

CNA said that need for this stems from the possibility of questions or concerns if the same consolidated carrier is present in the primary or excess D&O Side A-DIC insurance program.

Coverage highlights include an improved, streamlined policy form; D&O Side-A Policy coverage enhancements such as reinstated limits, broad definition of claim and broad DIC coverage; the inclusion of SOX 304/Dodd Frank 954 Costs in the definition of Loss.
