AON is likely to offer a sale of group drug purchasing and claims auditing assets, according to a CTFN report, which confirmed other recent trades press. A source told CTFN that AON is prepared to offer the antitrust authority assets beyond what has been previously reported. The CTFN article also speculated that a health benefits consulting business could be another asset that is potentially offered. Willis Tower gained 0.2%. Last month as part of efforts to get the deal approved in Europe, Aon and Willis Towers confirmed a deal to sell assets to Arthur J. Gallagher for $3.57B. In addition last month, AON agreed to sell retirement and investment business in Germany to resolve EC concerns.
