Aon plc said that on September 18, 2026 it entered a Term Loan Credit Agreement for $4.0 billion of unsecured delayed-draw term loans available to Aon North America, Inc. at the closing of the USI Advantage Corp. acquisition, and a separate $3.0 billion unsecured revolving facility that replaces two prior $1.0 billion revolvers.
Aon plc put in place $4.0 billion of unsecured delayed-draw term loan commitments and a new $3.0 billion revolving credit facility on September 18, 2026, tying the term loans to the closing of Aon North America, Inc.'s previously announced acquisition of USI Advantage Corp.
$4.0 billion delayed-draw term loans
On September 18, 2026, Aon plc (the "Company"), an Irish public limited company (NYSE:AON), together with Aon Corporation, Aon Global Holdings plc ("AGH"), Aon Global Limited ("AGL"), and Aon North America, Inc. ("ANA"), entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement") with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto (the "Term Lenders"). The Term Lenders committed to provide unsecured delayed-draw term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000,000, consisting of (a) a two-year $2,000,000,000 facility (the "Tranche 1 Term Loans") and (b) a three-year $2,000,000,000 facility (the "Tranche 2 Term Loans," and together with the Tranche 1 Term Loans, the "Term Loans").
The Term Loans will be available, subject to customary limited conditionality for a financing of this type, to ANA as borrower on the closing date of ANA's previously announced acquisition of USI Advantage Corp. ("USI" and such acquisition, the "USI Acquisition") under the agreement and plan of merger dated as of August 30, 2026 (the "Merger Agreement") among the Company, ANA, USI, Cortlandt Acquisition Corp., and, solely as securityholder representative, Uno Aggregator II L.P. Proceeds of the Term Loans will be used to pay a portion of the cash consideration for the USI Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with those transactions and the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement may be made by ANA in U.S. dollars and will bear interest at a base rate equal to, at ANA's option, term SOFR or an alternate base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on the Company's senior unsecured long-term debt rating. The Tranche 1 Term Loans mature on September 18, 2028, the Tranche 2 Term Loans mature on September 18, 2029
