There are good reasons to consider Public Offering of Securities insurance from AIG

The AIG Advantage

Deep exposures

By raising capital from the public, a company is creating new relationships and exposing itself to potential liabilities which are closely scrutinized by regulators. Investors may claim the full value of their loss if the information in a prospectus is proven wrong, possibly years later. A Public Offering of Securities Insurance has limits tailored to the specific transaction and for the duration of the exposures in the relevant jurisdiction.  

Who can be made liable?

A prospectus must explicitly confirm that the parties responsible for it have taken reasonable care to make sure the information is true. Such parties may face civil and criminal liability if the prospectus is inaccurate, incomplete or misleading, particularly if they cannot prove that proper care was taken preparing it. In the case of false representation, imprisonment is a possibility in some jurisdictions.

Rules and regulations

Companies that want to offer their securities to the public, or trade their securities on a regulated market like the stock exchange, have to issue a prospectus. There are detailed rules about what has to be in a prospectus, what may or may not be left out and processes to follow in the case that anything material changes once issued or in the case an error is discovered.
