Marsh Moves to Collect Outstanding MSA Fees

Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc. (MMC) announced that Marsh Inc., its risk and insurance services subsidiary, is taking steps to collect all amounts owed to it by insurance markets under market services agreements (MSAs) that were in effect prior to Oct. 15, 2004, when Marsh announced it was terminating the practice.

The company said it will place amounts collected into a segregated account to be used in connection with any restitution agreement it may reach with the Attorney General of the State of New York. As of Sept. 30, 2004, such amounts were approximately $230 million
