SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Zurich American Insurance Company, a member company of Zurich North America, has added a standalone Side A Directors & Officers insurance coverage option for U.S.-based multinational companies with non-U.S. board members and officers. The new Side A-only D&O policy, called International Towers by Zurich Executive Universal Select, addresses a critical need for non-U.S. directors and officers: It helps protect their personal financial assets if they are faced with a management liability lawsuit and their company cannot cover their legal costs due to local laws, court orders or other reasons. These are known as non-indemnifiable losses.

Key Points: 
  • The new policy, the latest addition to the award-winning International Towers by Zurich suite of D&O solutions, goes beyond fulfilling this essential need.
  • The International Towers by Zurich Executive Universal Select policy includes the following:
    A Master Policy issued to the U.S. parent that covers Side A D&O risk for non-U.S. directors and officers only.
  • The International Towers by Zurich Executive Universal Select policy provides a separate limit for losses outside the U.S.
    Another differentiator is that International Towers by Zurich policies can be purchased from Zurich without Zurich being the Primary or Lead Side A carrier on the customer's U.S. D&O tower.
  • International Programs by Zurich (IPZ) has earned a reputation for innovative solutions, winning three awards from Business Insurance in the past two years, including one in 2022 for the original International Towers by Zurich .
