Slide Public Offering & Securities Insurance It's probably time you find out what this was.

Slide Public Offering of Securities Insurance Public Offering of Securities Insurance (POSI) is a specialised insurance coverage designed to shield companies and their directors and officers from the unique risks associated with publicly offering securities, either in an initial public offering (IPO) or a secondary offering. This insurance addresses claims made by investors alleging inaccuracies, omissions, or misrepresentations in the prospectus, registration statement, or other documents related to the securities offering. How does it apply to you? For startups and scaleup companies considering accessing public capital markets, POSI provides a crucial layer of protection. Undertaking an IPO or a secondary offering is a monumental step, often marking a company's transition from a privately-held entity to a public one. This process involves stringent scrutiny, complex regulatory requirements, and heightened investor expectations. Any perceived misstep, whether it's an unintentional error in the offering documents or an omission of material information, can lead to substantial legal claims from investors who may feel they've been misled. Explained POSI insurance covers the costs associated with defending against such claims, as well as any settlements or judgments that may arise. This is particularly significant for startups and scaleup companies. Going public often signifies a transformative phase in a company's journey, and any legal challenges during this time can not only strain financial resources but also tarnish the company's image and dampen investor confidence.

Slide How much cover
do you need? As we have already touched on, POSI insurance is a specialised product and requires careful consideration when selecting a limit of cover. Similar to Directors & Officers cover however, it's important to consider your largest shareholder and company valuation when assessing the claim exposure.

Often with a public offering, you will have an amount in mind that you are looking to achieve. Therefore, a certain amount of consideration can be made to this amount when assessing the cover requirements.
