Pursuant to this Amendment No. 1, Willis hereby amends and supplements Item 9.01 of the Initial 8-K to file the historical financial statements of HRH under Item 9.01(a) and the pro forma financial information under 9.01(b) not filed with the Initial 8-K and to update the consent of the independent registered public accounting firm.
