Senior Notes

On March 5, 2024, the Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Willis North America Inc., as issuer, completed an offering of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.900% senior notes due 2054 (‘2054 senior notes’). The effective interest rate of the 2054 senior notes is 6.00%, which includes the impact of the discount upon issuance. The 2054 senior notes will mature on March 5, 2054. Interest on the 2054 senior notes accrues from March 5, 2024 and will be paid in cash on March 5 and September 5 of each year, commencing on September 5, 2024. The net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, were approximately $737 million, of which $662 million was used to fully repay the $650 million aggregate principal amount and related accrued interest of the 3.600% senior notes at maturity during the second quarter of 2024. The Company will use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.
