Aon Corporation
$500,000,000 2.200% Senior Notes due 2022
With a full and unconditional guarantee as to payment of
principal and interest by Aon plc
Aon Corporation is offering $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.200% senior notes due 2022 (the "Notes"). The Notes will mature
on November 15, 2022. Aon Corporation will pay interest on the Notes on each May 15 and November 15, commencing on May 15, 2020. The Notes will
be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Aon Corporation may redeem all of the Notes at any
time, and some of the Notes from time to time, at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus supplement under "Description of the Securities--
Optional Redemption." Aon Corporation may also redeem all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date in the event of certain changes in respect of withholding taxes applicable to the Guarantee, as
described in this prospectus supplement under "Description of the Securities--Optional Tax Redemption."
The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the "Guarantee" and, together with the Notes, the "Securities") by Aon Corporation's

Aon Corporation's other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The Notes will not have the benefit of all of the covenants
applicable to certain of Aon Corporation's existing unsecured senior indebtedness. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness

subordinated to the indebtedness and all other obligations of Aon Corporation's subsidiaries.
The Guarantee will be a general unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of Aon plc and will rank equally with all of Aon plc's other existing

described below under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information."
If the description of this offering varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the
information in this prospectus supplement.
Any statement made in this prospectus supplement or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus supplement to the extent that a statement contained in this
prospectus supplement or in any other subsequently filed document that is also incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus

424B5
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to
any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client
as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU
(as amended), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified
investor as defined in Regulation 2017/1129/EU (as amended, the "Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently, no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the EEA has been prepared, and therefore offering and selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA
may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
We are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In

Commission (the "SEC"). Our SEC file number is 001-07933.
The SEC also maintains a web site that contains reports, proxy statements and other information about issuers, including us, who file
electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is www.sec.gov.

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 within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations or forecasts of future events. They use words such as "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "project," "intend," "plan," "probably," "potential," "looking forward" 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

restructuring initiatives; the outcome of contingencies; dividend policy; the expected impact of acquisitions and dispositions; pension obligations; cash flow
and liquidity; expected effective tax rate; 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 and political conditions in the countries in which we do business around the world, including the United

Kingdom's expected withdrawal from the European Union;


·
changes in the competitive environment or damage to our reputation;


·

Aon Corporation
Aon Corporation is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Aon plc. Aon Corporation was incorporated in 1979 under the laws of
Delaware. In 2012, Aon Corporation completed a reorganization of the corporate structure of the group of companies then controlled by Aon
Corporation, pursuant to which Aon plc became the ultimate holding company of the Aon group then constituted. See "About this Prospectus

On October 29, 2019, we announced that we had filed a preliminary proxy statement in connection with obtaining shareholder approval of
a proposal to move the jurisdiction of incorporation of our parent company from the United Kingdom to Ireland pursuant to a scheme of arrangement
under English law. If approved by our shareholders and the High Court of Justice in England and Wales, Aon Ireland will become the new parent of
Aon plc, and each Class A ordinary share of Aon plc will be exchanged for one Class A ordinary share of Aon Ireland. We refer to these transactions
as the "reorganization." We currently anticipate that the reorganization will be completed in the first quarter of 2020.
Following the reorganization, we expect that the Class A ordinary shares of Aon Ireland will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol "AON," the same symbol under which the Class A ordinary

S-1
Table of Contents
shares of Aon plc are currently listed. Following the reorganization, we will remain subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC, the mandates of
the U.S. Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the applicable corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange, and we will
continue to report our consolidated financial results in U.S. dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We will
also comply with any additional reporting requirements under Irish law.
If the reorganization becomes effective, upon completion of the reorganization, Aon Ireland intends to fully and unconditionally guarantee
all publicly traded debt of Aon plc and Aon Corporation, including the Notes offered by this prospectus supplement. Although not required by the
indenture, the guarantee by Aon Ireland of the Notes offered by this prospectus supplement will be in addition to, and on the same terms as, the
Guarantee by Aon plc.
The following diagram depicts our organizational structure (with respect to Aon plc, Aon Corporation and Aon Ireland) before and
immediately after the reorganization.

Subject to certain limited exceptions, Aon plc has agreed to pay additional amounts to
