| Recent Press ReleasesThe Trustees of the Massey Ferguson Works Pension Scheme have appointed Watson Wyatt to provide pension administration, accounting, pensioner payroll and trustee secretarial services effective from today, July 1, 2009. [July 1, 2009] Towers, Perrin, Forster & Crosby, Inc. and Watson Wyatt Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE, NASDAQ: WW) today announced that their respective Boards of Directors have unanimously approved a definitive agreement under which Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt will combine in a merger of equals to form a new, publicly listed company called Towers Watson & Co. [June 28, 2009] The Trustee of the Devonport Royal Dockyard pension scheme has become the first to enter into a longevity swap agreement, having signed a contract with Credit Suisse last night. Watson Wyatt was the lead adviser on the agreement, which protects the scheme against the risk of having to pay out more because its pensioners live longer than expected. [June 26, 2009] In today’s unpredictable market environment, even the “safest” investments such as stable value funds carry considerable risks that plan sponsors and participants alike might not be aware of, according to experts at Watson Wyatt, a leading global consulting firm. The firm suggests that plan sponsors review their existing stable value investments and wrap contracts to ensure they are prepared if the market suddenly changes again. [June 24, 2009]
