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”,
“potential”, “looking forward”, 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, including negative yields in some
jurisdictions, 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
lawsuits 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 of 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; 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 risks associated with the various services, including fiduciary and investments and other advisory services and business process
outsourcing services, among others, that Aon provides or will provide to clients; Aon’s ability to grow, develop and integrate companies or new lines of business that it acquires;
changes in commercial property and casualty markets, commercial premium rates or methods of compensation; changes in the health c are system or our relationships with
insurance carriers; and Aon’s ability to implement initiatives intended to yield cost savings, and the ability to achieve those cost savings.
Any or all of Aon’s forward-looking statements may turn out to be inaccurate, and there are no guarantees about Aon’s performance. The factors identified above are not
exhaustive. Aon and its subsidiaries operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks may emerge frequently. Further information concerning Aon and its businesses,
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. These factors may be revised or supplemented in
subsequent reports. Aon is under no obligation, and expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statement that it may make from time to time, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
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 appendices. 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.

Near-Term Free Cash Flow* Goal of $2.4 Billion
* 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.
^ The Company reclassified certain cash flows related to employee shares withheld for taxes. This resulted in reclassifying $82 million, $93 million, $94 million,
$115 million, $120 million, $170 million, and $227 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015, respectively,
from "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" and "Other assets and liabilities" within Cash Flows From Operating Activities, to "Issuance of shares for
employee benefit plans" within Cash Flows From Financing Activities.

Key Drivers:
1. Operational improvement as the firm continues to
deliver growth and make progress towards its long-
term operating margin targets
2. Working capital improvements as the firm focuses
on closing the gap between receivables and
payables
3. Declining required uses of cash for pensions,
restructuring and capital expenditures
4. Lower cash tax payments reflecting the lower
effective tax rate

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
15. 14
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

Debt to EBITDA is a key ratio is used to evaluate opportunity for additional debt
o Range on a GAAP-basis is 2.0 – 2.5x
o Based on Moody’s adjusted methodology, the range is 3.0 – 3.5x
As EBITDA grows and pension liability declines, there is opportunity for incremental debt
