Overview
The prospectus must explicitly confirm that the people responsible for it have taken reasonable care to make sure the information is true. So they, as well as the company and its directors, may face civil and criminal liabilities if the prospectus is inaccurate, incomplete or misleading especially if they can’t prove that proper care was taken preparing it. In the case of false representation, imprisonment is a possibility.
AIG knows that directors and officers need to embrace opportunity and that companies must constantly manage their capital structure and their ability to finance expansion. We want to help our customers face the future, grow, and conduct business with confidence. We recognize that the situation from which a claim arises can be extremely stressful, and their reputation may be damaged. Thus, we offer a solution that will help the parties involved to continue their job without looking over their shoulders.
