On May 21, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the stockholders of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) approved the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. 2020 Incentive and Stock Award Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), that may be issued pursuant to the 2020 Plan includes, in addition to 20,000,000 new shares of Common Stock (registered concurrently on a new Registration Statement on Form S-8), any shares subject to outstanding awards under the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. 2011 Incentive and Stock Award Plan (the “Prior Plan”) that, on or after the Effective Date, are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered without the issuance of shares of Common Stock (the “Prior Plan Shares”). Outstanding awards granted under the Prior Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the Prior Plan, but no new awards will be granted under the Prior Plan.

 

Immediately prior to the Effective Date, up to 15,643,561.497 shares of Common Stock were subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan. In accordance with Item 512(a)(1)(iii) of Regulation S-K and Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 126.43, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement No. 333-176084 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement No. 333-209684 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) is hereby filed to cover the issuance of the Prior Plan Shares pursuant to the 2020 Plan. No additional securities are being registered by this Post-Effective Amendment.

The Registrant is not incorporating by reference any document or portion thereof, whether specifically listed above or to be filed in the future, that is not deemed “filed” with the Commission.

Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

 

Item 4. Description of Securities

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

 

Katherine J. Brennan, Deputy General Counsel, Corporate Secretary & Chief Compliance Officer of the Company will pass upon the validity of the offered securities. Ms. Brennan is eligible to participate in the 2020 Plan and was eligible to participate in the Prior Plan.

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers, as well as employees and other individuals, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Section 6.01 of the Company’s amended and restated bylaws provides for indemnification by the Company of its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases, redemptions or other distributions, or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Company’s restated certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.

 

The Company maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty, misstatement, error or omission committed in their capacity as directors or officers of the Company. Such policies of insurance also provide coverage to the Company with respect to payments which may be made by the Company to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

(a)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i)     To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in this registration statement; and

 

(iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plans not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

(2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 6 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
