WTW Signs $775 Million Delayed Draw Term Loan to Help Fund Newfront Deal
Willis Towers Watson entered a $775 million delayed draw term loan facility on January 7, 2026, with JPMorgan Chase Bank as administrative agent. Proceeds may fund part of the pending Newfront Acquisition, refinance certain WTW debt, and cover working capital and other corporate purposes, so the filing ties new borrowing to that acquisition.
