Shareholder Activism SAPI Product Underwriting Innovation Partnerships

Shareholder activism has become one of the fastest growing emerging threats for listed companies (data source: Activist Insight)

  • 5% of all listed companies became victims of activist investor attacks in the top-10 activist countries in 2020
  • 74% increase in shareholder activist campaigns across Europe the last 5 years
  • Activist campaigns are disruptive to “victim” companies costing time, money & focus loss
  • Proxy contest (final stage activist tactic) on average costs $4m+ for US mid-cap companies
  • Most companies are underprepared against activist attacks

We have designed a unique insurance backed solution:
Shareholder Activist Protection Insurance (SAPI) – combines activist cost indemnification with partner mitigation services – creating an activist defence strategy.

As most companies are underprepared against shareholder activist threat – we have developed an insurance backed concept – providing an activist defence strategy. Our proposition starts with mitigation – our partner experts work with you to assess your key vulnerabilities, helping you better understand shareholder activist risk. If an activist still launches an activist campaign, the insurance kicks-in – covering your direct expenses for hiring market experts to steer you through the activist storm.

We provide listed companies with insurance protection and pro-actively facilitate risk mitigation by offering value added services. Like Cyber insurance, we introduce our clients to the best market experts (lawyers, advisors and PR/communications experts) – even on a pre-loss basis to mitigate risk.
