AI Insider Summary

Carl Aaron Hess's Form 4 record spans three related entities reflecting two separate corporate mergers: Watson Wyatt Worldwide (2008-2010, pre-dating Watson Wyatt's merger with Towers Perrin), Towers Watson & Co. (2014-2016, the merged entity), and Willis Towers Watson PLC (since January 2016, when Towers Watson itself merged with Willis Group Holdings). As CEO, his current equity activity runs at a materially larger scale than routine director grants — an 8,429-share award in April 2026 and a 31,149-share tax-withholding event the same month, priced at $290.70. Those withholding prices trace the same year-long decline visible across the company's other insiders: $337.39 in October 2025 down to $290.70-$297.64 by April 2026, roughly a 13-14% decline.

A history built from two mergers

Hess's earliest recorded relationship, Watson Wyatt Worldwide (2008-2010, 42,638 shares sold), predates that company's 2010 merger with Towers Perrin, which created Towers Watson & Co. — where his activity resumes in 2014 (58 transactions, 80,684 shares sold). Towers Watson itself then merged with Willis Group Holdings in January 2016, forming Willis Towers Watson PLC, where his relationship has continued since (341 transactions, 153,246 shares sold). The transaction record traces this consolidation cleanly across three distinct issuer identities.
