MDR has just released its Sept qtr 10Q this afternoon-Go to Edgar--their table of net exposure (claim exposure less insurance) went from $195MM at Mar31 to $164MM at Sept 30 but then they added a note after that to say that "recently" the plaintiffs' lawyers have raised their demands materially etc etc---the question is do the insurers pay a % or are they already capped with MDR having to pay any excess? Haven't the faintest idea at this point.---The 10Q put the gross claims liability at Sept30 (before Insurance) at $1,376MM so if they had to settle for 50% higher and IF the insurers were capped, MDR's total net exposure would rise from $164MM to $852MM---anybody have an idea how the insurance works ie a % of the liability or are they already at their maximum exposure?
