Description détaillée AON est une société mondiale de services professionnels offrant des solutions dans les domaines de l'assurance, de la réassurance, du courtage et de la gestion des risques.

L'obligation d'entreprise émise par AON, identifiée par le code ISIN US00185AAF12 et le code CUSIP 00185AAF1, est un instrument de dette qui a récemment atteint sa maturité et a été remboursé. AON, un acteur majeur mondial dans le domaine des services professionnels, notamment la gestion des risques, les solutions de retraite et de santé, est une entreprise basée aux États-Unis qui s'appuie sur de telles émissions pour ses besoins de financement. D'une valeur nominale totale de 600 millions de dollars américains (USD), cette émission, originaire des États-Unis, offrait un taux d'intérêt fixe de 3,5% par an, avec des paiements d'intérêts versés aux investisseurs selon une fréquence semi-annuelle (deux fois par an). La taille minimale d'achat pour cette obligation était fixée à 2 000 USD. Ayant une date de maturité fixée au 13 juin 2024, cette obligation est effectivement arrivée à terme à cette date et a été intégralement remboursée à son prix actuel sur le marché de 100% de sa valeur nominale, confirmant le remboursement à parité aux détenteurs. La qualité de crédit de l'émetteur AON, et par extension de cette émission obligataire, était évaluée par les principales agences de notation financière : Standard & Poor's (S&P) lui avait attribué une notation de A-, tandis que Moody's l'avait notée Baa2, plaçant cette obligation dans la catégorie des placements de qualité d'investissement.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus
supplement or the accompanying prospectus contain 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. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations or forecasts of future events. They use words such as "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "project," "intend," "plan," "potential," and other similar terms, and future or conditional tense
verbs like "could," "may," "might," "should," "will" and "would." You can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do
not relate strictly to historical or current facts. For example, we may use forward-looking statements when addressing topics such as:
market and industry conditions, including competitive and pricing trends; changes in our business strategies and methods of generating
revenue; the development and performance of our services and products; changes in the composition or level of our revenues; our cost
structure and the outcome of cost-saving or restructuring initiatives; the outcome of contingencies; dividend policy; the expected impact of
acquisitions and dispositions; pension obligations; cash flow and liquidity; future actions by regulators; and the impact of changes in
accounting rules. 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. Potential factors that could impact results include:
·
general economic conditions in different countries in which we do business around the world, including conditions in
emerging markets and in the European Union relating to sovereign debt and the continued viability of the euro;
·
changes in the competitive environment;
·
changes in global equity and fixed income markets that could influence the return on invested assets;
·
changes in the funding status of our various defined benefit pension plans and the impact of any increased pension funding
resulting from those changes;
·
rating agency actions that could affect our ability to borrow funds;
·
fluctuations in exchange and interest rates that could impact revenue and expense;
·
the impact of class actions, individual lawsuits and other contingent liabilities and loss contingencies arising from errors
and omissions and other claims against us, including client class actions, securities class actions, derivative actions and
ERISA class actions;
·
the impact of any investigations brought by regulatory authorities in the United States (the "U.S."), the United Kingdom (the
"U.K.") and other countries;
·
the cost of resolution of other contingent liabilities and loss contingencies, including potential liabilities arising from errors
and omission claims against us;
·
failure to retain and attract qualified personnel;
·
the impact of, and potential challenges in complying with, legislation and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we
operate, particularly given the global scope of our business and the possibility of conflicting regulatory requirements across
jurisdictions in which we do business;
·
the effect of the Redomestication on our operations and financial results, including the reaction of our clients, employees and
other constituents, the effect of compliance with applicable U.K. regulatory regimes or the failure to realize some or all of
the anticipated benefits;

the extent to which we retain existing clients and attract new businesses and our ability to incentivize and retain key
employees;
·
the extent to which we manage certain risks created in connection with the various services, including fiduciary and
advisory services, among others, that we currently provide, or will provide in the future, to clients;
·
our ability to implement restructuring initiatives and other initiatives intended to yield cost savings, and the ability to
achieve those cost savings;
·
the potential of a system or network breach or disruption resulting in operational interruption or improper disclosure of
personal data;
·
changes in commercial property and casualty markets and commercial premium rates that could impact revenues;
·
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 damage to our reputation among clients, markets or other third parties;
·
the actions taken by third parties that perform aspects of our business operations and client services;
·
changes in costs or assumptions associated with our HR Solutions operating segment's outsourcing and consulting
arrangements that affect the profitability of these arrangements; and
·
our ability to grow and develop companies that we acquire or new lines of business.
Any or all of these forward-looking statements may turn out to be inaccurate, and there are no guarantees about our performance. The
factors identified above are not exhaustive. We and our subsidiaries operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks emerge
frequently. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they
are made. We are under no obligation (and expressly disclaim any obligation) to update or alter any forward-looking statement that we may
make from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information about factors that could
materially affect Aon, including our results of operations and financial condition, is contained in the "Risk Factors" section in Part I,
Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC.
