Finkelstein Thompson LLP Announces Investigation of Hewitt Associates, Inc.

Finkelstein Thompson LLP is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of Hewitt Associates, Inc. (“Hewitt” or the “Company”) (NYSE: HEW) arising from the Company’s announcement of its intent to be acquired by Aon Corp. (“Aon”). Under the terms of the agreement, Hewitt shareholders can elect to receive either (i) $25.61 in cash and 0.6362 shares of Aon stock (the “Mixed Consideration”), (ii) an amount of stock equal to the sum of the Mixed Consideration, or (iii) an amount of cash equal to the Mixed Consideration for every share of Hewitt stock they own in a transaction valued at approximately $4.9 billion.

The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the consideration to Hewitt’s shareholders, the process by which Hewitt’s Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction, and conflicts of interest on the part of the Hewitt Board of Directors. For example, this investigation will scrutinize the arrangement that allows Hewitt’s chairman and CEO to run the newly combined Aon Hewitt.
