APRIL 24, 2025 | CHICAGO, IL – RT Specialty, a leading wholesale distributor of specialty insurance products and services and the wholesale broking specialty of Ryan Specialty (NYSE: RYAN), is pleased to introduce the Ryan Specialty Public Entity Casualty Program (“RSPE”).

Program highlights include:

• Robust coverage: Liability coverage up to $5,000,000 per occurrence, which is available as follow-form excess, retained limits or reinsurance
• Customizable options: Can consider a wide variety of attachments and structural features, like annual aggregate deductibles and aggerate stop losses to achieve premium targets
