G REATERICAN <br /> INSURANCE GROUP <br /> POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE <br /> OFFER OF TERRORISM COVERAGE <br /> The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act establishes a program within the Department of the Treasury, under <br /> which the federal government shares, with the insurance industry, the risk of loss from future terrorist <br /> attacks. The Act applies when the Secretary of the Treasury certifies that an event meets the definition of <br /> an act of terrorism. The Act provides that, to be certified, an act of terrorism must cause losses of at least <br /> five million dollars and must have been committed by an individual or individuals as part of an effort to <br /> coerce the government or population of the United States. <br /> The United States Government, Department of the Treasury, will pay a share of terrorism losses insured <br /> under the federal program. The federal share equals a percentage of that portion of the amount of such <br /> insured losses that exceeds the applicable insurer retention. The federal share percentage is dependent <br /> upon the calendar year and is shown in the Table below. <br /> Year Federal Share <br /> 2015 85% <br /> 2016 84% <br /> 2017 83% <br /> 2018 82% <br /> 2019 81% <br /> 2020 80% <br /> The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended in 2015, contains a $100 billion cap that limits U.S. <br /> Government reimbursement as well as insurers' liability for losses resulting from certified acts of <br /> terrorism when the amount of such losses in any one calendar year exceeds $100 billion. If the aggregate <br /> insured losses for all insurers exceed$100 billion,your coverage may be reduced. <br /> In accordance with the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, we are required to offer you coverage for losses <br /> resulting from an act of terrorism that is certified under the federal program as an act of terrorism. <br /> The policy's other provisions will still apply to such an act. <br /> This coverage shall not apply to any commercial crime coverage that may be included in this policy. <br /> Terrorism coverage for acts of terrorism that are certified under the federal program as an act of <br /> terrorism is included for no additional premium. Nonetheless, if you would like to reject such Terrorism <br /> coverage, please provide Great American written confirmation of such, and an exclusion will be attached <br /> to your policy. <br /> DTDIS (02/15) <br />
