Summary
Aon plc (AON) filed an 8-K on February 27, 2020, to report a material definitive agreement. The company entered into a Lender Assumption Agreement that amends its existing Five-Year Credit Agreement, originally dated October 19, 2017. This amendment is significant as it increases the aggregate borrowing commitments under the revolving credit facility by $350 million, bringing the total available to $750 million. This increase in credit facility capacity suggests Aon is bolstering its liquidity and financial flexibility. While the other terms of the credit agreement remain largely unchanged, investors should note that the company and its affiliates have ongoing commercial and service relationships with the lenders involved.
