The definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed by Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. ("MMC") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2008 included as Item 3 thereof an MMC-sponsored proposal to amend Article FIFTH of MMC's Restated Certificate of Incorporation for the purpose of declassifying MMC's Board of Directors.

Accordingly, on July 17, 2008, MMC filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment, amending Article FIFTH of MMC's Restated Certificate of Incorporation as proposed.

Accordingly, on July 17, 2008, MMC filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Elimination providing that all matters set forth in the certificate of designation with respect to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock are eliminated from MMC's Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
Restated Certificate of Incorporation
On July 17, 2008, MMC filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a further Restated Certificate of Incorporation integrating in a single instrument the amendment to Article FIFTH and the Certificate of Elimination described above.  A copy of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
