Financial terms were not disclosed and the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval.

Aon stated that it has been exploring opportunities to enhance its capabilities in Brazil and the Latin America region, and the acquisition of Admix will enable the company to expand its offerings in a sector that is of growing importance to employers, the country's economy and consumers in Brazil.
Commenting on the deal, John Zern, CEO of Aon Health & Benefits stated:

"The private health insurance market in Brazil has shown steady growth in recent years despite challenging macroeconomic conditions. We expect growth in this sector to accelerate as economic conditions improve and employers continue to look for ways to attract and retain key talent."
