    Marketing (and Life) Lessons From #Eclipse2017

    By Meg Charendoff | August 30, 2017

    We pulled into the parking lot at the Homewood Suites in Pinehurst, North Carolina, Monday ­morning just before 5:30 a.m. It was still dark, as it had been the entire eight-hour drive down I-95 from suburban Philadelphia, but the sunrise was in about an hour. We didn't have a room at the hotel. Like every other one in the vicinity, it was sold out, full of travelers all with the same purpose—to see Eclipse 2017. So we headed for the shadiest and most remote part of the parking lot, cut the engine, ­reclined our seats and almost instantly fell asleep.

    Pa. Insurer Liquidation Tests Nation's Guaranty Association System

    By William Ellerbe | August 29, 2017

    On March 1, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ordered the liquidation of affiliated long-term care insurers Penn Treaty Network America Insurance Co. (PTNA) and American Network Insurance Co. (ANIC) (collectively, Penn Treaty). Penn Treaty, which sold long-term care insurance policies for decades, had been placed into rehabilitation in January 2009 by the Pennsylvania insurance commissioner. The liquidation order followed years of litigation and efforts to rehabilitate the company. According to filings in the case, as of May 2016, the PTNA arm of Penn Treaty was insolvent by $3.82 billion and would run out of assets in 2018; with ANIC added, the total insolvency of Penn Treaty was an estimated $4.33 billion. (See In re Penn Treaty Network American Insurance, Doc. No. 1 PEN 2009, Verified Pet., July 17, 2016; In American Network Insurance, Doc. No. 1 ANI 2009, Verified Pet., July 17, 2016).

    Airbnb and Insurance Coverage: Is It Up in the Air?

    By Allison Krupp | August 29, 2017

    Nine years. That's how long it took for Airbnb to grow from a zero-dollar company to a $30 billion company. Few other businesses in American history can boast such an impressive initial track record. Various forms of "disruptive technology"—like Airbnb—are changing the way we travel, drive, eat and live. Americans are no longer satisfied with the limited options provided by hotels, motels and traditional bed and breakfasts. Airbnb recognized this gap in the market and capitalized on it handsomely. While various other companies, including Expedia and Priceline, are racing to catch up, Airbnb remains the leading "home sharing" company. With that success, however, have come certain challenges that the government, judicial system and insurance companies are still struggling to identify and understand. One such challenge is how innovative concepts like Airbnb impact existing homeowners' insurance.

    Reps and Warranty Insurance: An Untapped Resource for Closing M&As

    By Terrence Tracy | August 29, 2017

    Many types of insurance are viewed only as a form of protection against downside risk. But certain coverages can do much more than offer protection, they can actually offer a business advantage that allows companies to achieve success relating to an acquisition where it would otherwise not be possible. Such is the case with Reps and Warranty (R&W) insurance. R&W insurance provides coverage against financial loss caused by breaches of the representations and warranties made in the M&A agreement. While every business does extensive due diligence to verify information provided by their deal partner before closing, the fact is that any complex transaction contains a certain number of unknown risks and unforeseeable circumstances. Often these unknowns do not reveal themselves until well after a deal has closed. R&W insurance is particularly useful to buyers in these circumstances.
