share on a diluted basis, compared to $408 million, or $1.92 per share on a diluted basis, in the prior year period.Net income per share attributable to Aon shareholders, adjusted for certain items, increased 15% to $2.32 on a diluted basis, including an unfavorable impact of $0.01 per share if prior year period results were translated at current period foreign exchange rates ("foreign currency translation"), compared to $2.02 in the prior year period.Certain items that impacted third quarter results and comparisons with the prior year period are detailed in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP

billion compared to the prior year period reflecting 6% organic revenue growth, a 2% favorable impact from fiduciary investment income and a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency translation.Total operating expenses in the third quarter increased 7% to $2.3 billion compared to the prior year period due primarily to an increase in expense associated with 6% organic revenue growth, investments in long-term growth, and a $45 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation.Foreign currency translation in the third quarter had a $2 million, or $0.01 per share, unfavorable impact on U.S. GAAP net income and a $2 million, or $0.01 per share, unfavorable impact on adjusted net income.If currency were to remain stable at today's rates, the Company would expect a favorable impact of $0.03 per share in the fourth quarter of 2023, and an unfavorable impact of approximately $0.17 per share, or an approximately $51 million decrease in adjusted operating income for full year 2023.Effective tax rate was 16.6% in the third quarter compared to 18.0% in the prior year period.After adjusting to exclude the applicable tax impact associated with certain non-GAAP adjustments, the adjusted effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 was 17.2% compared to 19.1% in the prior year period.The primary drivers of the change in the adjusted effective tax rate were the geographical distribution of income and a net favorable impact from discrete items.Weighted average diluted shares outstanding decreased to 204.6 million in the third quarter compared to 212.6 million in the prior year period.The Company repurchased 2.6 million class A ordinary shares for approximately $850 million in the third quarter.As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $4.1 billion of remaining authorization under its share repurchase program.YEAR TO DATE 2023 CASH FLOW SUMMARY Cash flows provided by operations for the first nine months of 2023 decreased $3 million to $2,174 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher cash tax payments and a negative impact to working capital due to temporary invoicing delays associated with the implementation of a new system, partially offset by strong operating income growth.Free cash flow, defined as cash flows from operations less capital expenditures, decreased 4%, to $1,971 million for the first nine months of 2023 compared to the prior year period, reflecting a decrease in cash flows provided by operations and a $77 million increase in capital expenditures.Capital expenditures were elevated compared to the prior year period as we executed a number of projects across technology to drive long-term growth.~PAGE-BREAK~3THIRD QUARTER 2023 REVENUE REVIEW The third quarter revenue reviews provided below include supplemental information related to organic revenue growth, which is a non-GAAP measure that is described in detail in "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Organic

ongoing strong retention, management of the renewal book, and net new business generation, a 2% favorable impact from fiduciary investment income and a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency translation.Commercial Risk Solutions organic revenue growth of 4% reflects solid growth across most major geographies driven by strong retention, management of the renewal book, and net new business generation.Growth in retail brokerage was highlighted by strong growth in EMEA and the Pacific, driven by continued strength in core P&C.The U.S. grew modestly driven by strength in the construction business and strong new business generation, partially offset by the impact of the external M&A and IPO markets.On average globally, exposures and pricing were positive, resulting in a modestly positive market impact.Reinsurance Solutions organic revenue growth of 11% reflects strong growth in treaty, driven by strong retention and continued net new business generation, as well as strong growth in facultative placements and double-digit growth in Strategy and Technology Group.Market impact was modestly positive on results in the quarter.The majority of revenue in our treaty portfolio is recurring in nature and is recorded in connection with the major renewal periods that take place throughout the first half of the year, while the second half of the year is typically driven by facultative placements, capital markets activity and advisory work that is more transactional in nature.Health Solutions organic revenue growth of 10% reflects strong growth globally in core health and benefits brokerage primarily from net new business generation and management of the renewal book.Strength in the core was highlighted by double-digit growth in almost all major geographies.Results also reflect double-digit growth in Consumer Benefit Solutions and strong growth in Talent, driven by data and advisory solutions.Wealth Solutions organic revenue growth of 4% reflects strong growth in Retirement, driven by advisory demand and project-related work related to pension de-risking and ongoing impact of regulatory changes.Investments was flat as strong advisory demand and project-related work was offset by declines in the real estate portion of our portfolio driven by real estate market movements.~PAGE-BREAK~4THIRD QUARTER 2023 EXPENSE REVIEWThree Months Ended

primarily to an increase in expense associated with 6% organic revenue growth and a $37 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation.Information technology expense increased $2 million, or 2%, compared to the prior year period due primarily to ongoing investments in technology platforms, particularly client facing technology.Premises expense increased $3 million, or 4%, compared to the prior year period.Depreciation of fixed assets increased $5 million, or 14%, compared to the prior year period due primarily to recent investments in ABS-enabled technology platforms to drive long-term growth.Amortization and impairment of intangible assets decreased $14 million, or 41%, compared to the prior year period due primarily to a decrease associated with assets fully amortized in the prior year period and assets held for sale as part of ongoing portfolio management.Other general expense had a net increase of $1 million, or less than 1%, compared to the prior year period.Accelerating Aon United Program expenses were $6 million reflecting restructuring charges associated with the Program announced in the third quarter of 2023.The company expects to incur ~$900 million in total cash charges and ~$100 million of non-cash charges over a three-year period.The charges are expected to include technology-related costs for streamlining and simplifying operations, headcount reduction costs, and costs associated with asset impairments, including real estate consolidation costs.~PAGE-BREAK~5THIRD QUARTER 2023 INCOME SUMMARY Certain noteworthy items impacted adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin in the third quarters of 2023 and 2022, which are also described in detail in "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Operating Income, Operating

items detailed on page 10 of this press release, increased $93 million, or 15%, and operating margin, adjusted for certain items, increased 120 basis points to 24.3%, each compared to the prior year period.The increase in operating income reflects organic revenue growth and increased fiduciary investment income, partially offset by increased expenses and investments in long-term growth.Interest income increased $2 million compared to the prior year period.Interest expense increased $16 million to $119 million compared to the prior year period, reflecting an overall increase in total debt and higher interest rates.Other income (expense) decreased $37 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to the unfavorable impact of exchange rates on the remeasurement of assets and liabilities in non-functional currencies and an increase in non-cash net periodic pension cost.Conference Call, Presentation Slides and Webcast DetailsThe Company will host a conference call on
