Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 1, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Aon plc (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board to thirteen members and appointed Jo Ann Jenkins as a director of the Company, effective August 15, 2025. Ms. Jenkins will serve until the Company’s 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders, when she is expected to be subject to re-election by a vote of the Company’s shareholders. The Board has appointed Ms. Jenkins to the Audit Committee of the Board, also effective August 15, 2025. The Board determined that Ms. Jenkins is independent as defined by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and under the Company’s independence standards, as well as Rule 10A-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

Ms. Jenkins most recently served as the Chief Executive Officer of AARP, a nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to issues affecting Americans over 50, a position she held from 2014 until her retirement from the role in 2024. Prior to her appointment as CEO, Ms. Jenkins served as AARP’s Chief Operating Officer, and before that as president of AARP Foundation. Before joining AARP, Ms. Jenkins served at the Library of Congress as Chief Operating Officer and Chief of Staff. She has also held a variety of senior roles at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Ms. Jenkins serves on the board of directors of General Mills, Inc., a multinational food company, and Avnet, Inc., an electronic components distributor.

Ms. Jenkins will receive compensation as a non-management director in accordance with the Company’s compensation practices for non-management directors (prorated based on her start date), which are generally described in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Company’s 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2025. In addition, the Company will enter into its standard deed of indemnity for directors of the Company with Ms. Jenkins.

There is no arrangement between Ms. Jenkins and any other person pursuant to which she was selected as a director. Ms. Jenkins has not engaged in any transaction with the Company that would be reportable as a related person transaction under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
