Reinstatement Cover

A type of reinsurance that provides a ceding company all or a portion of the ceding company’s contract or program limits that were eroded under a reinstatement clause in the original reinsurance agreement. The reinstatement cover is normally a separate agreement and the term usually incepts immediately after the date of the last loss, running through the end of the original coverage period. Customarily, the reinstatement cover provides only a single limit and is not likely to include a reinstatement provision. For example, after the major windstorms of 2004 and 2005, ceding companies that sustained losses reinsured under their reinsurance contracts may have lacked sufficient reinsurance protection for the remainder of the year. In such an instance, those insurers might attempt to secure reinsurance to replace that no longer available under the original contracts.
