Tokyo, March 30, 2007

In a very competitive category, judges singled out Marsh as “a real specialist which makes a real difference when involved in a deal.”
The award was primarily for work done in the UK where the Marsh PEMA team advised on 110 deals during the period under review.
Accepting the award Edwin Charnaud, Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA) Leader for the PEMA practice said “Although we were primarily judged on our UK work, the nature of our engagements is such that the expertise and contribution from PEMA colleagues around the world, and Marsh in its widest sense has been key to us winning this award. It is also a very public acknowledgement of the role we play alongside other professional advisors in the M&A arena.”
“This is the second award that PEMA has won in the past six months. In October 2006, we were named Risk Adviser of the Year at Financial News” annual Awards for Excellence in Private Equity Advisory Services.
