Safe Harbor Statement
This communication contains certain statements related to future results, or states our intentions, beliefs and expectations or predictions for the future which are forward-looking
statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from either historical or anticipated results depending on a variety of factors. These forward-looking statements include information about
possible or assumed future results of our operations. All statements, other than statements of historical facts that address activities, events or developments that we expect or
anticipate may occur in the future, including such things as our outlook, future capital expenditures, growth in commissions and fees, changes to the composition or level of our
revenues, cash flow and liquidity, expected tax rates, business strategies, competitive strengths, goals, the benefits of new initiatives, growth of our business and operations, plans
and references to future successes, are forward-looking statements. Also, when we use the words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “probably”, or
similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward looking statements: general economic and political conditions in different
countries in which Aon does business around the world; changes in the competitive environment; fluctuations in exchange and interest rates that could influence revenue and
expense; changes in global equity and fixed income markets that could affect the return on invested assets; changes in the funding status of Aon's various defined benefit pension
plans and the impact of any increased pension funding resulting from those changes; the level of Aon’s debt limiting financial flexibility; rating agency actions that could affect Aon's
ability to borrow funds; the effect of the change in global headquarters and jurisdiction of incorporation, including differences in the anticipated benefits; changes in estimates or
assumptions on our financial statements; limits on Aon’s subsidiaries to make dividend and other payments to Aon; the impact of law suits and other contingent liabilities and loss
contingencies arising from errors and omissions and other claims against Aon; the impact of, and potential challenges in complying with, legislation and regulation in the jurisdictions in
which Aon operates, particularly given the global scope of Aon’s businesses and the possibility of conflicting regulatory requirements across jurisdictions in which Aon does business;
the impact of any investigations brought by regulatory authorities in the U.S., U.K. and other countries; the impact of any inquiries relating to compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act and non-U.S. anti-corruption laws and with U.S. and non-U.S. trade sanctions regimes; failure to protect intellectual property rights or allegations that we infringe on the
intellectual property rights of others; the effects of English law on our operating flexibility and the enforcement of judgments against Aon; the failure to retain and attract qualified
personnel; international risks associated with Aon’s global operations; the effect or natural or man-made disasters; the potential of a system or network breach or disruption resulting in
operational interruption or improper disclosure of personal data; Aon’s ability to develop and implement new technology; the damage to our reputation among clients, markets or third
parties; the actions taken by third parties that preform aspects of our business operations and client services; the extent to which Aon manages certain risks created in connection
with the various services, including fiduciary and investments and other advisory services and business process outsourcing services, among others, that Aon currently provides, or
will provide in the future, to clients; Aon’s ability to grow, develop and integrate companies that it acquires or new lines of business; changes in commercial property and casualty
markets, commercial premium rates or methods of compensation; changes in the health care system or our relationships with insurance carriers; Aon’s ability to implement initiatives
intended to yield cost savings, and the ability to achieve those cost savings.
Further information concerning Aon and its business, including factors that potentially could materially affect Aon's financial results, is contained in Aon's filings with the SEC. See
Aon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties applicable to Aon’s businesses. Aon
does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any duty to update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or changes in their respective
expectations, except as required by law.
Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures
This communication includes supplemental information related to organic revenue, free cash flow, adjusted operating margin and adjusted earnings per share, that exclude the effects
of restructuring charges, intangible asset amortization, capital expenditures, transaction and integration costs and certain other noteworthy items that affected results for the
comparable periods. Organic revenue excludes from reported revenues the impact of foreign exchange, acquisitions, divestitures, transfers between business units, reimbursable
expenses and unusual items. The impact of foreign exchange is determined by translating last year's revenue, expense or net income at this year's foreign exchange rates.
Reconciliations are provided in the attached schedules. Supplemental organic revenue information and additional measures that exclude the effects of the restructuring charges and
certain other items do not affect net income or any other GAAP reported amounts. Free cash flow is cash flow from operating activity less capital expenditures. Management believes
that these measures are important to make meaningful period-to-period comparisons and that this supplemental information is helpful to investors. They should be viewed in addition
to, not in lieu of, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Industry peers provide similar supplemental information regarding their performance, although they may not
make identical adjustments.

Restructuring - Cash
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. This non-GAAP measure does not imply or represent a precise calculation
of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.
Estimate based on current actuarial assumptions as of 12/31/14 measurement date.
12
Financial Flexibility with Full Access to Growing Free Cash Flow
Aon has significant financial flexibility with access to cash generated around the globe

Compared to select industry peers or other US-based global firms, Aon does not have large pools
of trapped international cash balances

Cash generated around the globe can be brought back to the UK without any adverse
consequences to be used for capital deployment decisions and returned to shareholders
The UK’s territorial tax
system only taxes
income within that
country’s borders,
allowing income earned
internationally to be
brought back without
adverse tax
consequences or
surcharges
13
Effectively Allocate Capital to Maximize Total Shareholder Return
Aon deploys cash based on Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) on a cash on cash basis

ROIC is the focus of how the firm allocates capital in order to maximize shareholder returns

Historically, share repurchase has provided the highest ROIC, and therefore sets the benchmark
for evaluating all capital allocation decisions

Capital allocation to M&A, dividends, organic investment, debt reduction, discretionary pension
contributions, or other uses of free cash flow must beat the return of share repurchase to warrant
deployment

Substantial Upside for Shareholders Looking Forward
+$2.3B Free Cash Flow

Divided by future share count possibility in 2017
= Free Cash Flow / share
FCF/share x current cash multiple (5 to 6% yield)
= significant upside over three year period
15
Strong Balance Sheet with Opportunity for Additional Leverage
Aon is committed to our current credit metrics and ratings:

Debt to EBITDA ratio is used to evaluate opportunity for additional leverage
o Range on a GAAP-basis is 2.0 – 2.5x

Moody’s methodology adjusts for pension liability and 6x rent expense
o Range based on Moody’s is 3.0 – 3.5x

As EBITDA grows and pension liability declines, there is opportunity for incremental debt

Incremental debt would further increase the firm’s cash available for deployment
