Forward Guidance

Due to the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Willis Towers Watson had previously withdrawn (and consequently fully disclaimed) its full-year 2020 guidance. The Company will re-assess, at a future date, whether we may be able to provide guidance once we have a clearer understanding of the depth, duration, and geographic reach of the pandemic.
