IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF TERRORISM
INSURANCE COVERAGE
-
On November 26, 2002, President Bush signed into law the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the "Act"). The Act
establishes a short-term program under which the Federal
Government will share in the payment of covered ~osses caused
by certain acts of international terrorism. We are providing you
with this notice to inform you of the key features of the Act, and to
let you know what effect, ifany, the Act will have on your premium.
-
Under th~ Act, insurers are required to provide coverage for
certain losses caused by international acts of terrorism as defined
in the Act. The Act further provides that the Federal Government
- ^ '
will pay a share of such, losses. Specifically, the Federal
Government will pay 90% of th~ amount of covered losses caused
by certain acts of terrorism which is in excess of Travelers'
statutorily established deductible for that year. The Act also caps
the amount of terrorism-related losses for which the Federal
Government or an insurer can be responsible at
$100,000,000,000.00, provided that the insurer has met, its
deductible.
Please note that passage of the Act does not result in any change
in coverage under the attached policy or bond (or the poficy or
bond being quoted). Please also note that no separate ~dditional
premium, charge has been, made for the terrorism coverage
required by the Act. The premium charge that is allocable to such
coverage is inseparable from and imbedded in your overall
premium, and is no more than one percent of your premium.
