Welcome to the Marsh Settlement Website.

On January 30, 2005, Marsh entered a Settlement Agreement to resolve a Complaint filed by the New York State Attorney General and an Amended Citation issued by the New York State Superintendent of Insurance. Under the Settlement Agreement, Marsh agreed to establish an $850 million Fund to compensate its policyholders. No portion of this payment represents a fine or penalty, and the entire Fund will be distributed to Marsh's policyholders. This is an entirely no-fault Fund.

As part of the Settlement Agreement, Marsh also agreed to implement a series of business reforms. Consistent with Marsh's commitment to full disclosure and transparency, Marsh agreed to fully disclose all compensation arrangements to clients and all quotes and indications received from insurers with regard to a client's placement.

Among other reforms, Marsh also implemented a compliance training program for all brokerage and certain other personnel and established a Compliance Committee of the MMC Board of Directors.

To participate in the Settlement Fund, you or your company did not need to establish any damages or harm with regard to any particular placement. Policyholders eligible to participate in the Fund are Marsh's U.S. policyholder clients that retained Marsh to place, renew, consult on or service insurance with inception or renewal dates between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2004 on which Marsh recorded contingent commissions or overrides during that period.

On or about May 20, 2005, Marsh sent to each of its policyholder clients eligible to participate in the Fund a summary of certain of their policies used under the Settlement Agreement to ratably allocate the aggregate settlement fund and the amount of compensation offered per application of that formula to the policies indicated.

The amount that you or your company is eligible to receive from the Fund is based on a pro rata portion of the Contingent Commission/Override Revenue recorded by Marsh between January 1, 2001 and December 21, 2004 attributable to your or your company's policies as reflected in your policyholder statement.

In order to participate in the Settlement Fund, you or an authorized representative from your company must have signed the Release form contained in the May 20th mailing and returned it to the Settlement Administrator.

Marsh made the first, second and third installment payments from the Settlement Fund on November 1, 2005, June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2007, respectively. Checks representing the fourth and final payment were mailed on June 19, 2008.
