Is there a market for R&W insurance on deals with EV of <$25mm? If so, would be interested to know which underwriters play in this range and the typical policy premium and retention. Thanks.

Agree with Braden. Premiums range from 2.5% to 4% of coverage limits.

For R&W insurance, there's a premium floor of about $250k from what I've seen, so $25M EV is probably your cutoff.
