## Agent Guide

**What this page is:** Compare D&O quotes with Spot: who is protected, whether the company itself is covered, how defense costs use the limit and what earlier disputes the policy excludes.

**Limits (do not over-claim):**
- Describes Spot's own service; it does not establish coverage terms or outcomes for any company.

# Compare directors and officers insurance quotes with Spot

Spot puts each D&O proposal’s individual, reimbursement and company protection next to each other so your board knows what it’s buying.

- Individual, reimbursement and company protection shown separately
- Defense costs and retentions read the same way across quotes
- Keep your broker or switch, with no commissions on premiums

## How it works

- **Bring the quotes and your questions.** Send the D&O proposals along with anything your board or investors asked for, so your Spot team knows what the comparison needs to answer.
- **We map who each quote protects.** Spot sorts every proposal into protection for individual leaders, reimbursement for the company when it pays on their behalf, and claims against the company itself.
- **Walk through the exclusions together.** Ask in your shared channel how each quote treats earlier disputes, renewal changes and the claims it leaves out. Your Spot team takes open points to the broker.
- **Choose and bind.** Pick the quote your board is comfortable with. Your Spot team helps you bind it and keeps proof of coverage ready for investors who ask.

## What to compare

- **Protection for individual leaders.** What the policy pays for a director or officer when the company can’t or doesn’t pay on their behalf.
- **Reimbursement to the company.** What the company recovers when it indemnifies a leader. This is a different grant from the one above.
- **Entity coverage.** Protection for the company itself. A grant limited to securities claims is narrower than one for other alleged company wrongful acts.
- **Defense costs and the limit.** Whether legal bills reduce the amount left for a settlement or judgment.
- **Retention.** What the company pays before the policy responds, and whether it varies by type of claim.
- **Timing of claims and notices.** When a claim must be made and reported, and how earlier disputes or notices affect a new or renewal policy.
- **Exclusions and renewal changes.** Which management claims fall outside each proposal, and what changed from your current policy.

## Differences to watch for

- **Entity coverage that is securities-only.** A quote can say the company is covered and still limit that to a narrow type of claim. Ask what the grant actually reaches.
- **Shared defense and settlement money.** If legal bills draw on the same limit as a settlement, a long defense leaves less to pay it.
- **Prior disputes.** Earlier notices and known circumstances can keep a new policy from responding to a related claim. Read this section line by line.
- **Employment and fiduciary claims.** D&O doesn’t take over employment practices or benefit-plan claims. See whether the quote includes them or leaves them to separate policies.

## Common questions

### Why does it matter whether the company is covered?

A lawsuit often names the company along with its leaders. Company coverage can be narrower than individual protection, so Spot shows them separately.

### Can Spot compare a D&O quote with my current policy?

Yes. Add your expiring policy and Spot points out the grants, exclusions and renewal changes that differ.

### Is Spot a replacement for my broker?

No. Keep your current broker or pick a new one; Spot works with either and takes no commissions on premiums.

### What if my investors ask for D&O proof?

Once you bind, your policy sits in your Spot workspace and your team can prepare proof of coverage for them.
