MMC Benefits Handbook
Dividends
Am I eligible to receive dividends on shares?
Yes. As a shareholder you are entitled to receive dividends declared, if any, on any shares of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. common stock that you own, including shares acquired through Plan participation, provided that you still own the shares on the Plan's record date for that dividend. The record date is the date set by Marsh McLennan on which you must own shares in order to be eligible to receive a declared dividend.
Notwithstanding Marsh McLennan's payment of dividends in the past, the existence of a dividend payout schedule, or any other fact or circumstance, the payment of dividends in the future is never guaranteed.
Any dividends are determined and declared in the discretion of the Marsh McLennan Board of Directors (Board).
Dividend Record and Payment Dates for 2024
When are dividends paid?

If you have selected to go with a service provider other than Fidelity Investments, you must contact that service provider to find out about their dividend payment and notification process.
Can I name a beneficiary for shares held in my Fidelity Investments stock plan account?
Yes. To find out about naming a beneficiary for shares that still remain with Fidelity Investments, go to www.netbenefits.com.

Are there restrictions on selling shares I acquired through my participation in the Plan?
