Rewritten

- Increasing scrutiny and changing laws and expectations from regulators, investors, clients and our colleagues with respect to our [removed: environmental, social and governance (ESG)] [added: business responsibility] practices and disclosure may impose additional costs on us or expose us to new or additional risks;

Rewritten

- Adverse legal developments and future regulations concerning how intermediaries are compensated by insurers or clients, as well as allegations of anti-competitive behavior or conflicts of interest, could have a material adverse effect on [removed: Marsh’s] [added: Marsh Risk’s] business, results of operations and financial condition;

Rewritten

- Mercer’s Wealth business is subject to a number of risks, including risks related to public and private capital market fluctuations, third-party asset managers and custodians, operations and technology risks, trading and execution risks, conflicts of interest, [removed: ESG] [added: sustainability] and greenwashing, asset performance and regulatory compliance, that, if realized, could result in significant damage to our business;

Rewritten

Geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions, including from multiple major wars and global conflicts, [added: social unrest, tariffs or changes in trade policies,] slower GDP growth or recession, [added: fluctuations in foreign exchange rates,] lower interest rates, capital markets volatility, inflation and changes in insurance premium rates affect our clients' businesses and the markets they serve.

Rewritten

For example, the war in [removed: Ukraine and] [added: Ukraine,] the conflict throughout the Middle [removed: East] [added: East, including heightened regional instability and tensions involving Iran, and recent developments in Latin America,] have resulted in worldwide geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty and may negatively impact other regional and global economic markets (including Europe, the Middle [removed: East] [added: East, Latin America] and the U.S.), companies in other countries [removed: (particularly those that have done business with Russia or have substantial exposure to, or operations in, impacted countries)] and various sectors, industries and markets for securities and commodities globally, such as oil and natural gas, and may increase financial market volatility and adversely impact regional and global economic markets, industries and companies.

Rewritten

Lower interest rates [removed: may lead] [added: have led] to a decline in our fiduciary income.

Rewritten

Our businesses provide numerous professional services, including the placement of insurance and the provision of consulting, investment advisory, investment management and actuarial [removed: services,] [added: services] to clients around the world.

Rewritten

Given the judgment involved in estimating and establishing such liabilities, as well as the unpredictability of E&O claims and the litigation that can flow from them, it is possible that an adverse [removed: outcome in a particular matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.]

Rewritten

We are subject to numerous other laws on matters as diverse as internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, securities regulation, data privacy and protection, cybersecurity, taxation, anti-trust and competition, [added: anti-money laundering,] immigration, wage-and-hour standards and employment and labor relations.

Rewritten

With generative [removed: AI tools,] [added: AI,] threat actors may have additional tools to automate breaches or persistent attacks, evade detection, or generate sophisticated phishing emails or other forms of digital impersonation, doing so quickly and without requiring deep technical understanding of potential exploits.

Rewritten

In addition, increasing use of generative AI [removed: models] [added: models, including new capabilities offered through Model Context Protocol (MCP) Servers,] in our internal systems may create new attack methods for adversaries.

Rewritten

Because generative AI is a [removed: new] [added: constantly evolving] field, understanding of cybersecurity risks and protection methods continues to develop, and features that rely on generative AI, including in services provided to us by third parties, may be susceptible to unanticipated cybersecurity threats from sophisticated adversaries and other cybersecurity incidents.

Rewritten

Highly publicized data security breaches, such as the October [removed: 2023 attack on Okta,] [added: 2025 Salesloft/Drift attack,] may embolden malicious actors to target the IT supply chain and providers of business software.

Rewritten

Our control over and ability to monitor the cybersecurity practices of our third-party [added: and fourth-party] vendors and service providers, and other third parties with whom we do business, remains limited, and there can be no assurance that we can prevent, mitigate, or remediate the risk of any compromise or failure in the development processes or cybersecurity infrastructure or IT controls owned or controlled by such third parties.

Rewritten

[removed: In the future, these types of incidents could result] in personal, sensitive, confidential or proprietary information, including client, employee or Company data, being lost or stolen, surreptitiously modified, rendered inaccessible for any period of time, or maliciously made public, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Rewritten

Further, despite developments such as the U.S.- [removed: EU] [added: E.U.] Data Privacy Framework and the U.S.- U.K. Data Bridge, there remains a high level of uncertainty concerning the flow of personal information between the U.S. and EU, between the U.S. and the U.K. and between the U.K. and the EU.

Rewritten

[removed: These laws establish a privacy] framework for covered businesses, including various obligations imposed on them related to the personal information they collect and use, and offer various rights for their state residents.

Rewritten

For example, in [removed: late 2023] [added: November 2025,] the [added: final amendments made by the] New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) [removed: issued amendments] to its previous cybersecurity regulations [added: came into effect,] which imposed obligations on companies such as [removed: Marsh McLennan,] [added: Marsh,] including for example, requiring companies to provide evidence of how they are implementing their data retention, data governance and data classifications policies and procedures.

Rewritten

For example, laws in all 50 U.S. states generally require businesses to provide notice under [added: certain circumstances to consumers whose personal information has been disclosed as a result of a breach.]

Rewritten

Given the [removed: emerging nature] [added: rapid expansion] of AI [removed: technology,] [added: technology capabilities,] the lack of legal or regulatory precedent, and the ambiguity surrounding key definitions, complying with these evolving legal and regulatory frameworks is likely to be both challenging and costly.

Rewritten

[added: We have a number of strategic initiatives involving investments in, or] partnerships [removed: with] [added: with,] technology companies as part of our growth strategy, as well as investments in technology, including generative AI, and infrastructure to support our own systems.

Rewritten

[removed: In addition, the use of AI by other] companies has resulted in, and our use of AI may in the future result in, data incidents and cybersecurity breaches.

Rewritten

In addition, regulation or legislation impacting the [removed: workforce, such as the proposed U.S. Federal Trade Commission rule regarding noncompete clauses,] [added: workforce] may lead to increased uncertainty and competition for talent.

Rewritten

As a multinational company operating across many geographies, failure to effectively align our workforce with our core values and ethical principles may impair our ability to achieve our strategic objectives, particularly as we execute [added: our brand strategy,] operational model changes and integrate acquisitions.

Rewritten

Increasing scrutiny and changing laws and expectations from regulators, investors, clients and our colleagues with respect to our [removed: environmental, social and governance (ESG)] [added: business responsibility] practices and disclosure may impose additional costs on us or expose us to new or additional risks.

Rewritten

There is continued focus, including from governmental organizations, regulators, investors, colleagues and clients, on [removed: ESG] [added: matters related to environmental stewardship] and [removed: sustainability issues.][added: sustainability, strategies to foster a vibrant and inclusive culture, and responsible business practices, including government relations and public affairs initiatives.]

Rewritten

[removed: The regulatory landscape related to these issues] continues to evolve, with new laws and reporting requirements introduced across various jurisdictions, including in the U.S., the U.K., the European Union (E.U.) and Australia.

Rewritten

As these [removed: ESG] reporting requirements and standards evolve, we continue to evaluate and update our public disclosures in these areas, including refining our disclosure of metrics and sustainability goals in accordance with the guidance and our own [removed: ESG] [added: business responsibility] assessments and priorities.

Rewritten

These disclosures, metrics and sustainability goals and any failure to accurately report or comply with federal, state or international [removed: ESG] laws and regulations, or achieve progress on our metrics and sustainability goals on a timely basis, or at all, may result in legal and regulatory proceedings against us and negatively impact our reputation.

Rewritten

Implementation of our [removed: ESG] [added: business responsibility] initiatives also depends in part on third-party performance or data that is outside the Company's control.

Rewritten

In addition, heightened regulatory scrutiny of [removed: ESG] [added: environmental] and sustainability-related products, funds, investment strategies and advice has increased the risk that we could be perceived as, or accused of, making inaccurate or misleading statements, or that we have otherwise run afoul of regulation.

Rewritten

Organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have also developed ratings processes for evaluating companies on their approach to [removed: ESG matters,] [added: business responsibility,] and unfavorable ratings of our company or our industries may lead to negative investor sentiment and the diversion of investment to other companies or industries, exclusion of our stock from [removed: ESG-oriented] [added: business responsibility-oriented] indices or investment funds or harm our relationships with regulators and the communities in which we operate.

Rewritten

Moreover, public opinion and potential legal actions regarding [removed: ESG-related] [added: business responsibility] initiatives remain highly dynamic and can vary across stakeholders and geographies.

Rewritten

In addition to the challenges posed by capital market alternatives to traditional insurance and reinsurance, we compete against a wide range of other insurance and reinsurance brokerage and risk advisory [added: and consultancy] firms that operate on a global, regional, national or local scale for both client business and employee talent.

Rewritten

[removed: In addition, third party capital providers have] entered the insurance and reinsurance risk transfer market offering products and capital directly to our clients that serve as substitutes for traditional insurance.

Rewritten

In our Consulting segment, we compete for business with numerous consulting [added: firms, technology] firms and similar organizations, many of which also provide, or are affiliated with firms that provide, accounting, information systems, technology and financial services.

Rewritten

The risk of business disruption is more pronounced in certain geographic areas, including major metropolitan centers, like New York or London, where we have significant operations and approximately [removed: 3,900] [added: 3,800] and [removed: 5,800] [added: 5,700] colleagues in those respective locations, and in certain countries and regions, such as India, [removed: in which we operate or are investing additional capabilities that are subject to higher potential threat of terrorist attacks or military conflicts.][added: Colombia, Eastern Europe and]

Rewritten

We have a history of making acquisitions and investments, including a total of [removed: 86] [added: 102] in the period from [removed: 2020] [added: 2021] to [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] including our [removed: recent acquisition] [added: acquisitions] of McGriff Insurance Services, LLC ("McGriff") and Gerolamo Holding S.À.R.L. ("Cardano").

Rewritten

We may not be able to successfully integrate the businesses that we acquire into our own business, or achieve any expected cost savings or synergies from the integration of such businesses, including McGriff and [added: Cardano.]

Rewritten

[removed: As of] [added: At] December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] our receivables for our commissions and fees were approximately [removed: $6.5] [added: $7.0] billion, or approximately one-quarter of our total annual revenues, and portions of our receivables are increasingly concentrated in certain businesses and geographies.

Moreover, a successful cyberattack targeting our financial reporting systems or related services and infrastructure could disrupt our ability to accurately prepare, finalize, and disclose our financial results in a timely manner.

New in FY2025

Attackers may develop AI agents to fully automate the attack cycle, which could discover new and unexploited applications and dynamically create ways to exploit these weaknesses faster than security tools can adapt to and detect these new attack methods.

New in FY2025

Our increasing reliance on software-as-a-service ("SaaS") cloud solutions and other cloud-based vendors to support critical business operations also exposes us to risks associated with the availability, security, and resilience of these third-party platforms.

New in FY2025

These arrangements create dependencies on the vendors’ ability to maintain continuous service and protect against outages, disruptions or cyber incidents and on the sufficiency of their security controls and incident response.

New in FY2025

In addition, managing and integrating multiple cloud environments with our internal systems increases the risk of configuration errors or vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

New in FY2025

Our reliance on third-party software components and open-source libraries as part of our software supply chain exposes us to significant cybersecurity risks, including malicious code insertion, vulnerabilities and compromised updates.

New in FY2025

Incidents such as the Shai Hulud NPM Worm, which spread through widely used JavaScript packages by exploiting trust in open-source dependencies, illustrate how supply chain attacks can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or disruption of critical applications, sometimes evading traditional security controls.

New in FY2025

The complexity and scale of modern software supply chains make it difficult to fully vet and monitor all dependencies, increasing the likelihood that similar incidents could affect our systems and operations and result in business disruption, reputational damage and regulatory or legal consequences.

In the future, these types of incidents could result

We may not be able to fully realize the benefits of our Thrive program and Business Client Services.

New in FY2025

In 2025, we launched a three-year program, Thrive, which focuses on our brand strategy, delivering greater value to clients, accelerating growth and improving efficiency (the "Program").

New in FY2025

As part of the Program we also created a new unit, Business Client Services ("BCS") to accelerate innovation and centralize investments in operational excellence, data, AI and other analytics.

New in FY2025

As a part of these initiatives, we may optimize our global footprint, which involves inherent risks, including potential business disruptions or processing activities, loss of continuity or institutional knowledge, challenges in managing third-party providers and compliance with foreign regulatory requirements.

New in FY2025

The Program will generate savings from process and automation efficiencies and optimization of our global operating model.

New in FY2025

However, actual total costs, savings and timing may differ from our estimates due to changes in the scope or assumptions underlying the Program and other operational improvements through BCS.

New in FY2025

We cannot guarantee that we will achieve the targeted savings.

New in FY2025

If we do not realize the expected cost savings, we may be unable to reinvest in planned growth or strategic initiatives.

New in FY2025

Moreover, unanticipated costs or unrealized savings in connection with the Program could adversely affect our consolidated financial statements.

which would adversely impact our commission revenue and other revenue based on premiums placed and services provided by us.

For example, the property and casualty insurance market has seen softer pricing recently, which may continue to impact profitability.

These risks, if realized, could result in significant liability and damage our business.

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard update to improve the guidance for interim reporting, by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable.

New in FY2025

The update also provides additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods.

New in FY2025

The new guidance adds a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity.

New in FY2025

The new guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.

New in FY2025

The update can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements.

New in FY2025

In September 2025, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure for internal-use software costs.

New in FY2025

The new guidance removes references to software development project stages so that it is neutral to different software development methods, including methods that entities may use to develop software in the future.

New in FY2025

The new guidance requires an entity to capitalize software costs when: (1) Management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) It is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold").

New in FY2025

In evaluating the probable-to-complete recognition threshold, an entity is required to consider whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software.

New in FY2025

The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods.

New in FY2025
