Did TRIA respond?

7

• Some shops directly impacted by the bombings, such as the Forum restaurant on Bolyston Street, were still closed more than 45 days after the event

• Stores on Bolyston Street that were undamaged by the blasts were closed for nine days as the FBI carried out their investigation into the bombings

• Other businesses across Boston shut their doors as state authorities closed down the city’s transport system and issued a shelter-in-place order during the manhunt.

• Tsarnaev brothers initially labelled terrorists by Obama and the media• However not classified as a “certified act of terrorism”• Leads to questions on process and timing of terrorism certification under

TRIA.

TRIA renewal debate

22

• Policyholders are seeking and want alternatives• Billions of dollars in private insurance capacity available• Stand-alone offers coverage for companies with foreign exposures• AM Best research re: non renewal of TRIA – only 4% of 220+ insurers

examined failed the stress test, due mainly to workers compensation• Could a large-scale attack prove too costly for the private market – in

absence of TRIA?• Nuclear and cyber coverages

TRIA outlook, rumours & uncertainty

• All percentages, thresholds and retentions subject to change • Possible inclusion of elements like cyber-terrorism coverage/NCBR • Certification process redrafted ?• Only workers comp cover, no property coverage• Will likely renew with different coverage triggers • Imminent or to the wire….• Many Firms are now looking to the stand alone market for alternatives

and for certainty of coverage post December 31, 2014.
