Guarantee of Registered Securities [Abstract]  
Guarantee of Registered Securities Guarantee of Registered Securities
As described in Note 17 “Claims, Lawsuits, and Other Contingencies,” in connection with the Redomestication, Aon plc entered into various agreements pursuant to which it agreed to guarantee the obligations of Aon Corporation arising under issued and outstanding debt securities, including the 5.00% Notes due September 2020, the 8.205% Notes due January 2027, and the 6.25% Notes due September 2040 (collectively, the “Aon Corporation Notes”). Additionally, Aon plc has guaranteed the obligations of Aon Corporation arising under the 4.50% Senior Notes due 2028 and the 3.75% Senior Notes due 2029. Aon Corporation is a 100% indirectly owned subsidiary of Aon plc. All guarantees of Aon plc are full and unconditional. There are no other subsidiaries of Aon plc that are guarantors of the Aon Corporation Notes.
In addition, Aon Corporation entered into an agreement pursuant to which it guaranteed the obligations of Aon plc arising under the 4.25% Notes due December 2042 exchanged for Aon Corporation’s outstanding 8.205% Notes due January 2027, and has also guaranteed the obligations of Aon plc arising under the 4.45% Notes due May 2043, the 4.00% Notes due November 2023, the 2.875% Notes due May 2026, the 3.50% Notes due June 2024, the 4.60% Notes due June 2044, the 4.75% Notes due May 2045, the 2.80% Notes due March 2021, and the 3.875% Notes due December 2025 (collectively, the “Aon plc Notes”). In each case, the guarantee of Aon Corporation is full and unconditional. There are no subsidiaries of Aon plc, other than Aon Corporation, that are guarantors of the Aon plc Notes. As a result of the existence of these guarantees, the Company has elected to present the financial information set forth in this footnote in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, Aon plc obtained direct ownership in two subsidiaries that were previously indirectly owned by Aon Corporation. In the first quarter of 2019, Aon Corporation obtained indirect ownership of subsidiaries that were previously indirectly owned by Aon plc. The financial results of these subsidiaries are included in the Other Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column of the Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements. The Company has retrospectively reflected the impact of these transactions on the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidating Statements of Comprehensive Income for the periods ended September 30, 2018 and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2018.
The following tables set forth Condensed Consolidating Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidating Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, Condensed Consolidating Statements of Financial Position as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. The Condensed
Consolidating Financial Information includes the accounts of Aon plc, the accounts of Aon Corporation, and the combined accounts of the Other Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. The Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements are presented in all periods as a merger under common control. The principal consolidating adjustments are to eliminate the investment in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.
