Summary
Aon plc (AON) filed an 8-K on June 25, 2024, detailing two key personnel-related events. First, an amendment to Gregory C. Case's international assignment letter extends its term by one year, from June 30, 2024, to June 30, 2025. This indicates continued international assignment for Mr. Case, likely in his executive role. Second, the filing outlines a transition agreement for Chief Financial Officer Christa Davies. Ms. Davies will continue as CFO through July 29, 2024, after which she will transition to a senior advisor role until May 31, 2026. During this advisory period, she will receive a base salary of $500,000 annually, with continued vesting of most equity awards (excluding a specific PSU award). This agreement formalizes her departure from the CFO role while retaining her expertise for a defined transition period, subject to various restrictive covenants.
