POSNER, Circuit Judge.
This diversity suit for breach of a contract of liability insurance was brought by an ERISA pension plan (the May plan, we’ll call it), and by the company (May) that sponsored and administers the plan, against two insurance companies, one of which however is an excess insurer whose liability to the plaintiffs need not be discussed separately. The insurance policy, which is called an “Executive Protection Policy,” was issued to May but names the plan as an additional insured. The district court granted summary judgment for the defendants.
