Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Willis Group Holdings Public Limited Company (the "Company")  has approved the annual incentive awards for 2009 to its executive officers (the "Willis Retention Awards"). The Willis Retention Awards are subject to acceptance by the employee of the award terms and conditions (including the forfeiture conditions discussed below). The Company expects that its 2009 named executive officers ("NEOs") will be:  Mr. Joseph Plumeri, Mr. Patrick Regan, Mr. Grahame Millwater, Mr. Timothy Wright and Mr. Peter Hearn.‬‪

The Willis Retention Awards for the NEOs (other than Joseph J. Plumeri and Mr. Patrick Regan) will be paid 100% in cash with Mr. Millwater receiving $1,220,778, Mr. Wright receiving $1,032,966 and Mr. Hearn receiving $1,625,000. Consistent with his employment agreement, Mr. Plumeri will receive $3,370,000, which will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in restricted stock units ("RSUs"). The number of RSUs to be granted to Mr. Plumeri will be calculated using the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on March 1, 2010 for the Company's shares. In addition, Mr. Plumeri will receive 1 matching RSU for every 4 granted and dividend equivalent sums will accrue from the date of grant and will be paid in cash upon the vesting of the RSUs. The RSUs will vest on March 1, 2011 (the first anniversary of the grant date).‬‪‬

The cash element of the Willis Retention Awards paid to the NEOs are subject to forfeiture conditions if they voluntarily leave the Company's employ. It will require a proportional reimbursement if the NEO voluntarily leaves the Company's employ before December 31, 2012. In connection with Mr. Regan's departure, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Regan’s entitlement to a 2009 Willis Retention Award was forfeited.  However, in consideration for his service to the Company, the Compensation Committee agreed to waive the forfeiture conditions in his cash Willis Retention Awards for years pri or to 2009 in the amount of approximately $448,885.‬‪

Because Messrs. Millwater, Regan and Wright receive their compensation in pounds sterling, for purposes of this Current Report on Form 8-K, all amounts noted above were converted into dollars at the average exchange rate for 2009 (£1:$1.5651).‬
