<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>LONDON (6 March 2019)</B> &#150; <U>Aon plc</U> (NYSE: AON) today issued the following statement: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Consistent with Aon&#146;s stated focus on return on invested capital the firm regularly evaluates a variety of potential opportunities within and adjacent to
its industry. Aon had considered such a possibility with regard to Willis Towers Watson. News of that consideration subsequently became public and Aon was required to issue a statement because Willis Towers Watson is an Irish company and is subject
to Irish regulatory requirements. As a result of media speculation, those regulations required Aon to make the disclosure at a very early stage in the consideration of a potential <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-share</FONT> business
combination. Aon today confirms that it does not intend to pursue this business combination. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of this announcement, Aon is bound by the
restrictions set out in Rule 2.8 of the Irish Takeover Rules. Aon reserves the right within the next 12 months to set aside this announcement where so permitted under Rule 2.8 (including Rule 2.8(c)(ii)). </P>

statements that are forward looking, as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on management&#146;s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently
available to, management. When used in this press release, the words &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;project,&#148; &#147;plans,&#148; and similar expressions and the
use of future dates are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to
have been correct. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in any such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to,
adverse effects on the market price of our Class&nbsp;A ordinary shares and on our operating results for any reason, including negative effects of an announcement or failure to consummate a business combination transaction. You are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any or all of our forward-looking statements may turn out to be inaccurate, and there are no guarantees about Aon&#146;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&#146;s financial results, is contained in Aon&#146;s filings with the SEC. See our Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018 and additional documents filed with the SEC for a
further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties applicable to Aon&#146;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
