Understand the buyer’s policy.
A publicly filed M&A policy form: plain-English sections and the sample wording itself.
This is a buy-side RWI policy form filed publicly with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to an M&A transaction agreement (August 2026). It illustrates core policy concepts, with transaction-specific terms identified in the guide. The same framework applies to Real Estate, with binding timing, pricing, retention, and any synthetic representations tailored to the transaction. The comparison and the synthetic representation examples supplement this guide; they are not part of the filed policy form. Names of the parties, insurers, broker, and claim representative are replaced with labels such as “RWI Insurer”; the underwriting insurers and the claim representative have distinct roles. Referenced transaction documents and exhibit forms are not included. This is not an offer of coverage.
For educational purposes only. Not legal advice. Actual policy terms control. Deal-specific limit, retention and premium amounts have been replaced with descriptive placeholders; those amounts are negotiated deal by deal. Law, regulations and judicial interpretation may have changed since the stated research date, and authorities may have received later treatment. The explanations do not amend any policy and do not determine coverage. This is a sample buy-side M&A RWI policy; it is not a standard policy or an insurer-approved form. Consult your legal advisers about your transaction or claim. Legal research date: September 10, 2026 (Central Time). Editorial update: September 11, 2026.
