所谓D&O责任保险,即公司董事及行政人员的责任保险(Directors’and Officers’Liability Insurance)。D&O责任险的保单源于30年代,到了80年代,该险种在美国显得特别重要。当时,有一批律师当上了上市公司的董事,其间有人蓄意操控公司的股价,最后因有负面行为而令股价大幅滑落,导致股东向董事提出了巨额赔偿的诉讼。现时的美国已有90％以上的公司购买了D&O责任保单,英国及欧洲多个国家的公司也紧随美国之后。在香港、韩国等东南亚国家和地区,因有不少公司参与了美国资本市场的融资行动,所以也要面对与美国纽约上市公司同样的法律监管.
The so-called D & O liability insurance, that is, directors and executives of the company’s liability insurance (Directors’and Officers’Liability Insurance). D & O liability insurance policy originated in the 1930s, by the 1980s, the insurance in the United States is particularly important. At that time, a group of lawyers became board directors of listed companies while others deliberately manipulated the company’s stock price. In the end, due to negative behaviors, the share price dropped significantly, causing shareholders to file huge suits against the directors. At present, more than 90% of the companies in the United States have already purchased the D & O liability policy. Companies in many UK and European countries also follow the United States. In Hong Kong, South Korea and other Southeast Asian countries and regions, as many companies involved in the financing of the U.S. capital markets, so we must face the same legal supervision of listed companies in New York.
