We appreciate Pat's many contributions to our company, as well as his commitment to remain fully engaged at Willis through our 2009 year-end reporting and regulatory filing process. We congratulate Pat and wish him well on the exciting opportunity he is taking with Aviva. Meanwhile, we are moving quickly to identify the best possible candidate to succeed Pat and help take Willis to the next level."

Mr. Regan said: "It has been a privilege to be a part of Willis' outstanding management team, which has helped cement Willis' position as the most client-focused global brokerage in the industry. As I embark on the next stage of my career, I am confident that under Joe Plumeri's leadership and with the breadth and depth of the senior executive team behind him, Willis will continue to thrive and grow."
