Item 1.01. Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
June 3, 2008, Aon Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates
(collectively, the Company) entered into an Amendment No. 6 (Amendment)
to the Agreement among the Attorney General of the State of New York, the
Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York, the Attorney General of
the State of Connecticut, the Illinois Attorney General, the Director of the
Division of Insurance, Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation
(collectively, the State Agencies) dated March 4, 2005 (the Settlement
Agreement). The Amendment amends the
Settlement Agreement to permit the Company, after acquiring a controlling
interest in an insurance brokerage that accepts contingent compensation, to
continue to accept contingent compensation from the acquired companys existing
customers for three years from the effective date of acquisition, subject to
certain restrictions.
The
Amendment requires that if the Company accepts contingent compensation from the
existing customers of an acquired company during this three-year phase-out
period, the Company must, among other things, prohibit the acquired company
from accepting contingent compensation with respect to business from its
existing clients for which it was not receiving contingent compensation at the
time of the acquisition or any new clients.
The Amendment further requires the Company to subject an acquired
company that receives contingent commissions to other business reforms agreed
to in the Settlement Agreement within 180 days of the effective date of the
acquisition or at the later renewal of each policy if compliance can not be
completed with regard to a policy within the 180-day time frame. The Amendment provides that, after acquiring
such an insurance brokerage, the Company must disclose on its website and in
other public pronouncements that it accepts contingent compensation as to the
acquired company and provide information regarding the acquired company and the
applicable three-year transition period.
The
foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference. Aon Corporation
filed the Settlement Agreement as Exhibit 10.1 to its Form 8-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2005.
