  • EIMS CONCERNS2003 and 2004All policies will be coming off multi-year programs priced in 1999 or 2000 when premiums were low and limits were high.

    Need to manage book to ensure we can continue to provide same products and services.

    EIM MANDATE:ADJUST PREMIUMS AND MANAGE LIMITS

  • Members WishesKeep a large amount of capacityKeep broadest form availableDo not hit all Members with the same increase in premium- differentiate among the Members

  • CHANGES TO 2003 POLICYBrought Discovery Period provision back to one year for 100% of annual premium, in lieu of five years at 100% of annual premium

    Separated Fiduciary Liability from Excess GL policy; gave a dedicated $25M limit instead of sharing limit with Excess General Liability
