Aon board adds $7.5 billion buyback; say-on-pay advisory vote fails

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 shareholder Written later

Aon's board approved an additional $7.5 billion share repurchase authorization on June 26, 2026, on top of about $0.8 billion remaining under the existing program as of March 31, 2026. At the same meeting, shareholders did not approve the advisory vote on executive compensation, while all 13 director nominees were elected.

  • Existing program had about $0.8 billion of remaining authorization as of March 31, 2026.
  • Advisory say-on-pay vote failed: 69,888,299 for, 110,798,636 against, 1,112,848 abstain.
