Bernstein Liebhard LLP Announces Investigation of Acquisition of Hewitt Associates, Inc. by Aon Corp.

Bernstein Liebhard LLP is investigating whether the Board of Directors of Hewitt Associates, Inc. (“Hewitt” or the “Company”) (NYSE: HEW) breached its fiduciary duty to its shareholders in agreeing to sell Hewitt to Aon Corp. (“Aon”) (NYSE: AON).

Under the terms of the agreement, Hewitt shareholders will receive $25.61 in cash and approximately 0.64 percent of a share in Aon stock for each share they own, placing the total value of the transaction at approximately $4.9 billion. The total payment will be approximately $2.45 billion in cash and 64 million shares. Aon plans to integrate Hewitt with its existing Aon Consulting operations and run the segment under the newly created Aon Hewitt brand. The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the price to Hewitt shareholders and the process by which the Hewitt Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction.

If you are interested in discussing your rights as a Hewitt shareholder and/or have information relating to the matter, please contact U. Seth Ottensoser at (877) 779-1414 or Ottensoser@bernlieb.com.
