新公司法发力 近300家公司将董责险放入“购物车”
Core Viewpoint - The newly revised Company Law in China has led to a significant increase in the number and coverage rate of Directors and Officers Liability Insurance (D&O insurance) among listed companies, with expectations for further growth by the end of the year [1][2]. Group 1: Increase in D&O Insurance Adoption - Nearly 300 listed companies have disclosed plans to purchase D&O insurance this year, with coverage expected to exceed 30% by year-end [1][2]. - The number of companies purchasing D&O insurance has surged due to heightened awareness of legal risks and increased accountability for executives [2][4]. - As of May 2025, the D&O insurance penetration rate among A-share listed companies has risen from less than 8% at the end of 2019 to 28.4% [3][6]. Group 2: Legal and Regulatory Influences - The revised Company Law, effective from July 1, 2024, explicitly encourages companies to purchase D&O insurance and mandates reporting to shareholders, providing a legal foundation for its adoption [3][4]. - Stricter regulatory requirements and a growing focus on corporate governance and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors have contributed to the increased purchase of D&O insurance [4][5]. Group 3: Market Potential and Challenges - Despite the growth, the current D&O insurance coverage rate among A-share listed companies remains low, indicating substantial room for market penetration [5][6]. - Factors such as budget constraints, lack of risk awareness, and a tendency to underestimate potential risks hinder further adoption of D&O insurance among some companies [5][6]. - If the coverage rate reaches 85% by 2030, the total D&O insurance premiums could amount to 7.62 billion yuan from 2021 to 2030 [6]. Group 4: Claims and Coverage Limitations - D&O insurance typically covers claims arising from negligence or improper conduct by executives, but does not cover intentional illegal acts such as fraud [7]. - Understanding the policy terms and the specific risks covered is crucial for companies when purchasing and utilizing D&O insurance [7].
