Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance and indemnities
IAG purchased insurance against Directors' and Officers' liability covering the IAG Group, as permitted by the Companies Act 2006, for the benefit of the Directors and Officers.
The Company has granted rolling indemnities to the Directors and the Secretary, uncapped in amount but subject to applicable law, in relation to certain losses and liabilities which they may incur in the course of acting as officers of companies within the Group. These indemnities also set out the terms on which the Company may, in its discretion, advance defence costs. The indemnities were in force during the whole of the financial year or from the date of appointment in respect of Officers who joined during 2014 and remain in force.
The Company has granted qualifying pension scheme indemnities in the form permitted by the Companies Act 2006 to the Directors of two companies, British Airways Pension Trustees Limited and British Airways Pension Trustees (No 2) Limited, that act as trustees of the Company’s UK pension schemes. These indemnities were in force throughout the last financial year or from the date of appointment in respect of Officers who joined during 2014 and remain in force.
