2 Aon Health & Benefits Solutions for Private Equity
Working with you every step of the way
01Human Capital Due Diligence
We work with our private equity clients to address the critical "deal breaker" and "deal shaper" issues affecting your
transaction. We immediately bring to your attention any red flag issues and provide solutions to remedy these matters.
03Portfolio Solutions
We have develped several proprietary solutions to help manage costs for our private equity clients. These include leveraged purchasing
arrangements available because of Aon’s market volume. We work with our private equity clients to help them determine the appropriate strategies to
manage individual companies as well as their entire portfolio.
02 New Client OnboardingAfter the deal closes, we utilize knowledge gained during due diligence to help you implement the programs to meet your goals. We work to ensure a smooth transition to minimize employee disruption, while helping to revamp the HR and Benefits strategy to achieve your objectives.
04 Exit-Ready StrategyWe understand that there is a lifecycle to the ownership of every investment. We work to ensure that each of your portfolio companies is exit-ready with respect to the HR programs. This means optimizing the plan costs, designing the plans as efficiently as possible, minimizing risk, and ensuring compliance.

determine how the benefits are administered. We also review employee agreements, severance plans,
and other employment matters.

Global human capital practice
Our Private Equity clients constantly confront new challenges as they seek to globalize and expand, particularily with respect to how they support their global workforce. Aon has organized a systematic way of supporting multinational corporations in their global benefits efforts. Our efforts have the potential to lead our clients to a reduction of up to a third of total direct and indirect spend on benefits
• 8%-12% as a result of moving from an unpooled situation to complete, actively managed multinational pooling
• 3%-5% from enhanced governance and harmonization
• 3%-7% from the use of captives
• 3%-6% from using one broker globally to optimize premium and commission spend
Our global approach
We address global benefits objectives through three core elements
• Service as the local broker/consultant to subsidiary management (Aon is positioned to do this in over 100 countries with wholly owned operations delivering locally appropriate employee benefit services)
• Organizing a structured and disciplined approach and process with distinct client service tools and protocols in a manner that is well understood and accepted by HQ and subsidiary management alike
• Deploying active global relationship management and delivering insightful stewardship that goes beyond simply reporting data by correlating the data agains corporate business, financial, and risk management goals

• New business realities–whether it’s rapid technological changes, aggressive industry consolidation, constraining governmental regulations, increasing cost pressures, or challenging talent dynamics–require organizations to reassess their business strategies and operating models to ensure they are structured effectively to be nimble in order to change with the global business environment
• Aon’s approach to organizational transformation is systematic, fact-based and, uniquely, human capital centric, enabling us to work with our clients to think ahead and identify the practical steps needed to operationalize and implement the changes
• We employ our proprietary framework to drive real business results, and our engagements leverage our expertise, tools, and methods on organization design to go beyond just the “lines and boxes”
• Our Risk and Health & Benefits diligence teams work side by side in deal time to deliver the highest quality product, while minimizing stress on the Target’s management team
• Our team will identify issues and offer solutions that can impact your purchase price and return on investment. We develop mitigation strategies and options to cap or transfer known liabilities
• Comparison of the current total cost of risk and total compensation for the target and the expected costs for NewCo post-closing, including change in control costs and benchmarking
• Through a Representations & Warranties (R&W) Insurance policy, buyers and sellers can insure all or part of the liability that might arise from breaches of representations and warranties, rather than solely looking to seller indemnification
• For buyers, a R&W policy can be an attractive alternative when the seller is resistant to a higher indemnity cap or has limited resources to fund its indemnification obligations
• Similar to a R&W policy, a Tax Indemnity policy can be an effective tool to help facilitate transactions by providing certainty with respect to the treatment of a particular tax matter
• Aon’s specialists are highly experienced in obtaining, analyzing, and reporting critical information
• Our diverse suite of investigative services can be applied to all stages of the litigation or transactional process
• Due diligence of key hires, potential board members, management; corporate and individual parties involved in joint ventures, mergers, and acquisitions
• Proxy fight and hostile takeover defense support
• Research in support of litigation (e.g., expert witness vetting, asset research, etc.). Internal investigations involving allegations of fraud, harassment or corporate malfeasance
