Willis Towers Watson has more than </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">41,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> employees and services clients in more than </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">140</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> countries and territories. We design and deliver solutions that manage risk, optimize benefits, cultivate talent, and expand the power of capital to protect and strengthen institutions and individuals. Our unique perspective allows us to see the critical intersections between talent, assets and ideas - the dynamic formula that drives business performance.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We offer clients a broad range of services to help them to identify and control their risks, and to enhance business performance by improving their ability to attract, retain and engage a talented workforce. Our risk control services range from strategic risk consulting (including providing actuarial analysis), to a variety of due diligence services, to the provision of practical on-site risk control services (such as health and safety or property loss control consulting), as well as analytical and advisory services (such as hazard modeling and reinsurance optimization studies). We assist clients in planning how to manage incidents or crises when they occur. These services include contingency planning, security audits and product tampering plans. We help our clients enhance their business performance by delivering consulting services, technology and solutions that help organizations anticipate, identify and capitalize on emerging opportunities in human capital management as well as investment advice to help our clients develop disciplined and efficient strategies to meet their investment goals.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As an insurance broker, we act as an intermediary between our clients and insurance carriers by advising our clients on their risk management requirements, helping clients determine the best means of managing risk and negotiating and placing insurance with insurance carriers through our global distribution network. We operate the largest private Medicare exchange in the United States (&#8216;U.S.&#8217;). Through this exchange and those for active employees, we help our clients move to a more sustainable economic model by capping and controlling the costs associated with healthcare benefits.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are not an insurance company, and therefore we do not underwrite insurable risks for our own account. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:9px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We believe our broad perspective allows us to see the critical intersections between talent, assets and ideas - the dynamic formula that drives business performance.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:9px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Merger with Towers Watson that closed on January 4, 2016 affects the comparability between 2016 and other periods presented.

Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for revenue recognition, the selection of useful lives of fixed and intangible assets, impairment testing, valuation of billed and unbilled receivables from clients, discretionary compensation, income taxes, pension assumptions, incurred but not reported claims, legal reserves and goodwill and intangible assets. </font></div></div>
