The Retirement Plan Governance and Investment Committee

Aon Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Aon Savings Plan as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2011, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Such information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

AON SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year Ended December 31, 2011

1.              Description of Plan

General

On April 2, 2012, Aon plc completed the reorganization of the corporate structure of the group of companies controlled by its predecessor, Aon Corporation, as holding company of the Aon group, pursuant to which Aon Corporation merged with one of its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries and Aon plc became the publicly-held parent company of the Aon group.  This transaction is referred to as the Redomestication.  In the Redomestication, each share of Aon Corporation common stock held by stockholders of Aon Corporation was converted into the right to receive one Class A Ordinary Share, nominal value $0.01 per share, of Aon plc.

The Aon Savings Plan (the Plan) was authorized by the Board of Directors of Aon Corporation (Aon or the Company or Plan Sponsor).  The Plan is a defined contribution plan with a salary deferral feature and an employee stock ownership (ESOP) feature.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).  The Plan’s assets are held by State Street Bank and Trust Company (the Trustee).

Participants in the Aon Common Stock ESOP Fund (the ESOP Fund) have the option to reinvest dividends in additional shares of Aon common stock in the Plan or receive dividends in cash.  Participants are allowed to immediately diversify any Company-matching contributions allocated to the ESOP Fund.

The Hewitt Associates Retirement and Savings Plan (the Hewitt Plan) merged into the Plan effective at the close of business on December 31, 2011.  Participants in the Hewitt Plan commenced participation in the Plan on January 1, 2012.  Accordingly, participant accounts of approximately $1,571,179,000 were transferred into the Plan in January 2012.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Plan changed trustees from State Street Bank and Trust Company to the Northern Trust Company.

The following description of the Plan provides only general information.  Participants of the Plan should refer to the Plan Document for a more complete description of the Plan.

Eligibility and Participation

Employees other than field sales agents or employees scheduled to work less than 20 hours per week are immediately eligible to participate.  Field sales agents and employees scheduled to work less than 20 hours per week are eligible to participate after completing one year of service and attaining the age of 21.  Participants must complete one year of service to be eligible for Company-matching contributions.

Contributions

Participant — Participant contributions are made by means of regular payroll deductions.  Non-highly compensated participants, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), may elect to make contributions between 1% and 25% of their compensation, as defined by the Plan.  Highly compensated participants, as defined by the IRC, may elect to make contributions between 1% and 12% of their compensation, as defined by the Plan.  Effective January 1, 2012, all eligible employees may elect to contribute up to 50% of their compensation, as defined by the Plan.  Participant contributions are limited to amounts allowed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  Accordingly, the maximum participant contribution was $16,500 in 2011 and 2010.  In addition to regular participant contributions, catch-up contributions of up to $5,500 for 2011 and 2010 were allowed for any participants who were age 50 or older during the Plan year.

New employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan at a 4% contribution rate after 30 days of service, unless the election is waived. After participants have completed six months of service, his or her automatic enrollment contribution will increase by 1% each April until reaching 6%. Participants can change their deferral percentage or investment selections at any time after initial enrollment.

The Plan allows participants to make Roth 401(k) contributions.  Roth contributions are made on an after-tax basis, and participants would then owe no further tax on these contributions or their earnings.

Company — During 2011 and 2010, the Company contributed an amount equal to 100% of the first 6% of a participant’s compensation that a participant contributed to the Plan.  These contributions are made concurrent with participant contributions.  The Company may make a further discretionary contribution as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.  During 2011 and 2010, this discretionary contribution was $0.

The Aon Retirement Account is for employees hired after January 1, 2004 who are not eligible for participation in the Aon Pension Plan.

1.                                      Description of Plan (continued)

The Aon Retirement Account was funded entirely by Company contributions.  No employee contributions were allowed.  On February 4, 2009, the Company announced that the Aon Retirement Account portion of the Plan was being frozen with the effective date of December 31, 2008.

Investment Options

Both participant and Company contributions to the Plan will be invested in any of the various investment alternatives offered by the Plan in any whole percentages as directed by the participant.  Additionally, a brokerage account is offered that allows participants to invest their self-directed contributions in various stock, mutual funds and other investments.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contributions and (b) Plan earnings (losses).  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account.

Vesting

Participants are fully vested in their contributions as well as actual earnings of the Plan.  Participants become 100% vested in the employer contributions (including amounts in the Aon Retirement Account) after five years of Plan service, according to a graded vesting schedule. All contributions made after January 1, 2012 will be 100% vested immediately.

Forfeitures of $1,908,000 for 2011 and $1,830,000 for 2010 were used to provide partial funding for Company contributions and to pay other expenses of the Plan.

Benefit Payments

Upon retirement or termination of service, a participant will receive a lump-sum payment equal to his or her vested balance.  The participant may elect to receive this payment directly or to be rolled into another plan or IRA.  Vested amounts of the ESOP may be received in cash or Aon common stock.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

Participant Loans

Under the loan provision of the Plan, each participant is permitted one loan in a twelve-month period, and the outstanding balance of all loans made to a participant may not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the vested portion of the participant’s account, excluding the ESOP and Aon Retirement Account portion of the account.  The interest rate for each loan is equal to 1% plus the prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street Journal for the last day of the month preceding the loan request.  Loans are made for a period of up to five years, except for residential loans that have a fixed repayment period of up to fifteen years.

2.                                      Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Investments held by the Plan are stated at fair value.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price).  See Note 3 for further discussion and disclosures related to fair value measurements.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants represent participant loans that are recorded at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest.  Interest income on notes receivable from participants is recorded when it is earned.  Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred.  No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2011 or 2010.  If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be a distribution, the participant loan balance is reduced, and a benefit payment is recorded.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. ASU 2011-04 amended Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurement, (ASC 820) to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).  Certain of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle in ASC 820.  In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires additional fair value disclosures, although certain of these new disclosures will not be required for non-public entities.  The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Plan management is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2011-04 will have on the Plan’s financial statements.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses of the Plan, including expenses of the Trustee, are paid from the Plan assets, except to the extent that the Company, at its discretion, may decide to pay such expenses.  The Company did not pay any Plan expenses in 2011 or 2010.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.                                      Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

8

Table of Contents

3.                                      Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

·      quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets

·      quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active

·      observable inputs other than quoted prices that are used in the valuation of the asset or liabilities (e.g., interest rate and yield curve quotes at commonly quoted intervals)

·      inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Level 3 inputs include management’s own assumption about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is classified is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measure in its entirety.

Following is a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for each major class of assets measured at fair value by the Plan.

Mutual funds, common stock and preferred stock:  valued at quotes obtained from national securities exchanges.

Common collective trusts:  valued at the net asset value (NAV) provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding.  These funds are primarily invested in publicly traded common stocks and bonds. Participant-directed and Plan redemptions have no restrictions.

Long-term bonds:  valued generally at matrix-calculated prices that are obtained from various pricing services.

During 2011 and 2010, the Plan’s investments (including investments bought, sold, and held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in fair value as follows (in thousands):

4.                                      Investments (continued)

The fair value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan’s assets is as follows (in thousands):

5.                                      Income Taxes

The Plan has received a determination letter from the IRS dated October 1, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation.  Subsequent to this issuance of the determination letter, the Plan was amended and restated.  Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification.  The Plan Administrative Committee believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended and restated, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.

U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan.  The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS.  The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2011, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.  The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.  The Plan administrator believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.

Table of Contents

6.                                      Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities.  Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

7.                                      Related Party Transactions

The Plan invests in the common stock of the Company.  During 2011 and 2010 the Plan held investments managed by the Trustee.  These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions; however, they are exempt from prohibited transaction rules under ERISA.

8.                                      Reconciliation of Financial Statements to the Form 5500

As described in Note 1, the Hewitt Plan merged with the Plan at the close of business December 31, 2011. The Plan’s financial statements reflect net assets available for benefits just prior to the merger, the Plan’s Form 5500 reflects post merger.

The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements at December 31, 2011 to the Form 5500:
