REGISTRATION OF ADDITIONAL SHARES
PURSUANT TO GENERAL INSTRUCTION E
Explanatory Note
This Registration
Statement on Form
S-8
(this "
Registration Statement
") is filed by Aon plc (the "
Company
") to register an additional 3,800,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, nominal value $0.01
per share (the "
Class
A Ordinary Shares
"), that may be offered and sold pursuant to the Aon plc 2011 Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective April 19, 2023 (the "
Plan
"). The
Company's shareholders approved the Plan, providing for the increase to additional shares issuable thereunder, at the Company's annual general meeting of shareholders on June 16, 2023.
The Registrant previously registered shares for issuance under the Plan pursuant to previously filed Registration Statement on Form
S-8
(Registration
No. 333-174788)
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "
Commission
") on June 9, 2011, as amended by the
Post-Effective Amendments Nos. 1 and 2 thereto filed with the Commission on April 2, 2012 and April 2, 2020, respectively, and the Company's previously filed Registration Statements on Form
S-8
filed with the Commission on October 31, 2014 (Registration
No. 333-199759),
as amended by the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Commission on April 2, 2020, and
November 27, 2019 (Registration
No. 333-235296),
as amended by the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Commission on April 2, 2020, pertaining to the Plan. The
Post-Effective Amendments filed by the Company with the Commission on April 2, 2020 reflect the scheme of arrangement completed by the Company and Aon plc, a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales ("
Aon UK
"),
on April 1, 2020. Pursuant to the scheme of arrangement, the Class A ordinary shares of Aon UK (the "
Aon UK Shares
") were cancelled and the holders thereof received, on a
one-for-one
basis, Class A Ordinary Shares for the purpose of changing the place of incorporation of the parent company of the Aon group from the United Kingdom to Ireland (the
"
Reorganization
"). As a result of the Reorganization, each outstanding equity award under the Plan relating to Aon UK Shares, and any other right to purchase, receive or receive benefits or amounts based on Aon UK Shares, was
converted into an equity award relating to the Class A Ordinary Shares, or a right to purchase, receive or receive benefits or amounts based on Class A Ordinary Shares, as applicable, on
a one-for-one basis.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors
and Officers
.
Subject to exceptions, the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland, as amended (the "
Irish Companies Act
"), does not permit a
company to exempt a director or certain officers from, or indemnify a director against, liability in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by a director in relation to the company.
The exceptions allow a company to: (a) purchase and maintain directors and officers insurance against any liability attaching in connection with any
negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust owed to the company; and (b) indemnify a director or such other officer against any liability incurred in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal, (i) in which judgment is
given in his or her favor or in which he or she is acquitted or (ii) in respect of which an Irish court grants him or her relief from any such liability on the grounds that he or she acted honestly and reasonably and that, having regard to all
the circumstances of the case, he or she ought fairly to be excused for the wrong concerned.
The Company's constitution includes a provision which, subject to the provisions of the Irish Companies
Act as aforesaid, entitles every present and former director and other officer of the Company to be indemnified out of the assets of the Company (other than any person (whether an officer or not) engaged by the Company as auditor) against any loss
or liability incurred by him or her for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the affairs of the Company or otherwise incurred by him or her in the execution and discharge of his or her duties to the Company.
Under the Irish Companies Act, the Company may purchase and maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance, at the expense of the Company,
for the benefit of any of its present and former directors and other officers. The directors of the Company will be entitled to cover pursuant to the Aon group's directors' and officers' liability insurance.
In addition to the provisions of the Company's constitution, it is common for a public limited company to enter into a separate deed of indemnity with a
director or officer which essentially indemnifies the director or officer against claims brought by third parties to the fullest extent permitted under Irish law. The Company has entered and will enter into such deeds of indemnity with its
directors.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned Registrant
hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee" exhibit in this effective
Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however
,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the

S-8
