据《金融时报》报道,英伟达的董事及高管责任保险(D&O)据称为其领导层的个人资产提供最高 9 亿美元的保障,但不涵盖公司自身的法律费用。
一项拟议中的集体诉讼指控英伟达和黄仁勋就这一关系误导投资者;此前股价下跌 4.3%,蒸发了约 1920 亿美元市值。
英伟达通过保险经纪商 Aon 只购买了最高保额为 9 亿美元的 Side A 保险,用于保护董事和高管的个人资产。
它没有购买 Side B 保险(用于补偿公司代高管支付的法律费用)和 Side C 保险(用于承保针对公司自身的证券索赔)。
律师和保险经纪人称这种安排很少见;WTW 在 2018 年的一项调查发现,超过 80% 的上市公司购买了全部 3 类保险。
因此,英伟达在这起集体诉讼中须承担的任何辩护费用或和解金,都将由公司自身的资产负债表承担。

FT: Nvidia’s directors’ and officers’ (D&O) insurance reportedly covers its leaders’ personal assets up to $900M, but not the company’s own legal costs. A proposed class action accuses Nvidia and Huang of misleading investors about the relationship, after a 4.3% share slide erased about $192B. Through broker Aon, Nvidia bought only Side A cover, up to $900M, which protects directors’ and officers’ personal assets. It skipped Side B, which repays a company for covering executives’ legal bills, and Side C, which covers securities claims against the company itself. Lawyers and brokers call that setup rare, and a 2018 WTW survey found more than 80% of public companies bought all 3 sides. Any defense costs or settlement Nvidia owes in the class action would therefore hit its own balance sheet.
