Explanatory Note
Pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-65624) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2001 (the "Registration Statement"), Aon Corporation (the "Company") registered an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock") for the account of certain stockholders of the Company (the "Selling Stockholders"). The Company's obligation to the Selling Stockholders to keep the Registration Statement effective has terminated because all of the Common Stock has been sold by the Selling Stockholders. Accordingly, this post-effective amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement is being filed for the purpose of terminating the Registration Statement.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, as of January 24, 2003.
