TO FORM TOWERS WATSON
Combined Company Positioned for Sustainable Growth and Profitability
with a Broader Portfolio and Wider Geographic Footprint
STAMFORD, CT & ARLINGTON, VA, June 28, 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. Based on the closing price of Watson Wyatt common stock on June 26, 2009, the implied equity value of the transaction is approximately $3.5 billion. Watson Wyatt Chief Executive Officer John Haley will serve the combined company as Chief Executive Officer; Towers Perrin Chief Executive Officer Mark Mactas will serve as President.
“The combination of Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt into Towers Watson will create one of the world’s leading professional services firms, well positioned for sustained growth and profitability across all geographies and business segments,” said Mr. Haley. “The combination will further strengthen our core service lines while offering our clients an enhanced portfolio of proven offerings across a range of financial, risk and people management areas. Towers Watson will have tremendous global reach and service breadth to meet the growing needs of the world’s largest multinational corporations. As we provide more value for our clients, we in turn create value for our people and our shareholders.”
Mark Mactas, Chief Executive Officer of Towers Perrin, said, “This is an important transaction for our respective organizations that positions us well for a future of accelerated growth and higher levels of profitability. The fit between our firms is excellent, starting with a deep commitment to client service and shared values of integrity, professionalism and respect.

great opportunities for growth. We couldn’t be more excited about this combination, which will change the landscape of our industry.”
Towers Watson, which is expected to have annual revenues in excess of $3 billion, will benefit from the scale of the combined companies and anticipates approximately $80 million in pretax annual synergies. While significant savings are expected during the first two years following completion of the transaction, it is anticipated that full realization of synergies will take three years and cost approximately $80 million. Towers Watson will also have significant non-cash expenses during the first two years following completion of the transaction. The transaction is expected to be accretive to diluted earnings per share within three years following the consummation of the transaction.
Strategic & Financial Benefits of the Transaction
    Strengthened Organizational Capabilities: Towers Watson will be stronger than the sum of its parts, positioned for industry leadership long into the future and a more effective competitor that can provide additional services to our existing and prospective clients.
 
    Expanded Global Presence with Geographically Diverse Revenue Base: The combination will expand our global footprint to optimize service, global reach, and seamless delivery for our clients. Towers Watson will operate within four geographic regions: North America, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.
 
    Enhanced Products and Services: Towers Watson will focus its operations on three segments: Benefits, Talent and Rewards, and Risk and Financial Services. These will build on existing thought leadership and research, and will be supported by a more comprehensive set of services, from strategic advice to solutions and implementation.
We believe that these benefits will lead to:

This is a phonemail message from Mark Mactas to all Towers Perrin employees globally.
I am pleased to share with you the news about an important decision we have made regarding the future of our firm. On June 28, 2009, Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt announced our intention to combine in a merger of equals to create a new firm, which will be called Towers Watson & Co. You’ll see an email in your inbox when you next log in, as well as a copy of the press release. I just want to share with you my personal excitement about the potential that this combination offers to our clients, our people, and our shareholders. I recognize that this kind of change can be both exciting and unknown, so I am personally committed to keep you informed about our progress. We are launching a comprehensive internal and external communication plan; in fact, our leadership team will be visiting several offices, and communicating regularly by email and audio-conference, in the coming weeks, to share our vision for the future and hear your thoughts and reactions. In the meantime, I ask you to keep focused on our top priority — serving our clients. Look forward to speaking with you soon.

You can identify these statements and other forward-looking statements in this document by words such as “may”, “will”, “would”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “plan”, “intend”, “continue”, or similar words, expressions or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements include, but are not limited to, the benefits of the business combination transaction involving Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt, including the combined company’s future financial and operating results, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of Towers Perrin’s and Watson Wyatt’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the ability to obtain governmental approvals of the transaction on the proposed terms and schedule; the failure of Towers Perrin shareholders and Watson Wyatt stockholders to approve the transaction; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that anticipated cost savings and any other synergies from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the ability to recruit and retain qualified employees and to retain client relationships; the combined company’s ability to make acquisitions, on which its growth depends, and its ability to integrate or manage such acquired businesses; and the risk that a significant or prolonged economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Additional risks and factors are identified under “Risk Factors” in Watson Wyatt’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on August 15, 2008, which is on file with the SEC, and under “Risk Factors” in the joint proxy statement/prospectus that will be filed by Jupiter Saturn Holding Company.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events because these statements are based on assumptions that may not come true and are speculative by their nature. None of Jupiter Saturn Holding Company, Towers Perrin or Watson Wyatt undertakes an obligation to update any of the forward-looking information included in this document, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed expectations or otherwise.

1.   Rationale
  a.   What is the reason for the combination?
 
      The main reasons we have chosen to plan this combination are:
  1.   Strengthened Organizational Capabilities: Towers Watson will be stronger than the sum of its parts, positioned for industry leadership long into the future.
 
  2.   Expanded Global Presence with Geographically Diverse Revenue Base: The combination will expand our global footprint to optimize service, global reach, and seamless delivery for our clients.
 
  3.   Enhanced Products and Services: Towers Watson will focus its operations on three segments: Benefits, Risk & Financial Services, and Talent & Rewards. These will build on existing thought leadership and research, and will be supported by a more comprehensive set of services, from strategic advice to solutions and implementation.
      Together, Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt will create an organization that is among the world’s leading professional services firms.
  b.   How will this change benefit our clients? Our people? Our shareholders?
 
      We expect that this combination will benefit our clients, people, and shareholders in the following ways:
  4.   For our clients, we will provide more comprehensive services and a deeper talent pool across a wider geographic footprint.
 
  5.   For our people, we will offer an expanded set of career opportunities, greater access to resources, and a broader network of colleagues.
 
  6.   For our shareholders, we expect to realize improved growth and investment potential, a diversification of our current business, economies of scale, and cost savings. Note that the use of the term “shareholders” throughout this document includes shareholders plus a group of Towers Perrin employees to be designated to receive certain equity incentive awards.
  c.   Why did we choose this transaction over a potential IPO?
 
      The potential IPO was not our strategy; it was a means to execute our growth strategy. This transaction is consistent with our strategic direction and has additional strategic advantages, including the following:
    The increased size, scale, depth of talent and geographic coverage of the combined company may provide us with greater organic and inorganic growth opportunities
 
    Those potentially greater growth opportunities may in turn lead to an even greater ability to recruit top talent and provide more career opportunities for our people.
2.   The Deal
  a.   What are the terms of the deal?
 
      Under the terms of the agreement, Watson Wyatt shareholders will be entitled to receive fifty percent of the combined company’s shares on a fully diluted basis. Towers Watson shares issued to Watson Wyatt shareholders in the deal will be freely tradable.

2


 

      Towers Perrin shareholders, who are all active Towers Perrin employees, plus a group of Towers Perrin employees to be designated to receive certain equity incentive awards, will be entitled to receive fifty percent of the combined company’s shares on a fully diluted basis. Towers Watson shares issued to Towers Perrin shareholders will be restricted shares that become freely tradable over a period of one to four years. More information will be available after the 8-K has been filed on Monday, June 29.
 
  b.   I’ve heard that there is no such thing as a merger of equals; how will this work in practice?
 
      The creation of Towers Watson will be a true partnership. First and foremost, the deal structure itself illustrates the equal nature of this combination. Additionally, the leadership of both Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt will be represented at all levels of leadership of Towers Watson. John Haley will be the CEO of Towers Watson; reporting to him will be the President, the corporate functions, and the CAO. Mark Mactas will be the President of Towers Watson; reporting to him will be the business segments and geographic regions. The Board of Directors, Towers Watson’s primary governance body, will include equal designees from Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt.
 
      As we work to plan the details of the combination, representatives from both firms will be participating actively in the integration planning process, working side-by-side to plan the future for Towers Watson.
 
  c.   What happens if the combination does not go through?
 
      We fully expect that the combination will go through as planned, subject to obtaining all required regulatory and shareholder approvals. Unless and until the deal is closed, Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt must act as separate and independent companies; where the two firms compete today, we must continue to compete. If the deal does not close, then Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt will continue to operate separately and independently.
3.   Organizational Structure
  a.   How will Towers Watson be structured?
 
      The new structure of Towers Watson is designed to combine the best of both organizations. Towers Watson will organize its operations along three business segments...
    Benefits
 
    Risk & Financial Services
 
    Talent & Rewards
      and four geographic regions:
    North America
 
    Europe, Middle East and Africa

    Legal
 
    Corporate Development
 
    Finance
 
    HR

3


 

    Marketing
 
    Office Services
  b.   How will the Board of Towers Watson be structured?
 
      The Board of Towers Watson will be comprised of 12 members with 6 designated by Towers Perrin and 6 designated by Watson Wyatt:
    4 independent members
 
    2 internal members from Towers Perrin: Mark Mactas and another member to be determined
 
    4 independent members
 
    2 internal members from Watson Wyatt: John Haley and another member to be determined
  c.   What will be the management structure of Towers Watson?
 
      Post-closing, John Haley will be the Chief Executive Officer. Reporting to him will be the President, Mark Mactas, the corporate functions, and the CAO. Reporting to Mark Mactas will be the business segments and geographies.
 
      Two primary leadership bodies will manage the operations and activities of Towers Watson:
    The Executive Committee will focus on policy and strategy for Towers Watson and will be led by John Haley
  o   This committee will include Mark Mactas, the North American leader, the EMEA leader, and the three business segment leaders
    The Global Leadership Group will focus on operations and performance, and will be led by Mark Mactas
  o   This committee will include global business leaders, geographic region leaders plus corporate functions
  d.   Will we look for cost savings and/or redundancies and staff reductions? When will this be decided?
 
      Potential cost synergies are expected to come primarily from combined management teams and general & administrative expenses. Implementing decisions involving synergies, investments, and other commitments will start immediately after the closing of the proposed combination; most will be completed over the subsequent 24 months.
4.   Brand
  a.   What will be the new brand?
 
      The new company will be called Towers Watson. The Integration Team will be working to provide more visibility on what Towers Watson’s brand stands for, as well as on its “look and feel”, as quickly as reasonably possible and will communicate additional information in the future, subject to applicable legal limitations.

    We value the opportunity to work with our clients and we look forward to our continued relationships
6.   Implications
  a.   What will be the main focus areas for Towers Watson?
 
      Towers Watson will focus on three key business segments:
    Benefits
 
    Risk & Financial Services
 
    Talent & Rewards
      As part of the integration planning process, the leaders of each of these segments will work to create an implementation strategy related to key product and service areas.
 
  b.   How will my business unit fit into these new focus areas?
 
      Organized into the areas of Benefits, Risk & Financial Services, and Talent & Rewards, Towers Watson will combine elements of current Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt business units:
 
      Benefits:
    Towers Perrin: Retirement, Health & Welfare
 
    Watson Wyatt: Retirement, Group & Health Care, International, TAS
      Risk & Financial Services:
    Towers Perrin: Tillinghast, Reinsurance, Retirement Risk Solutions, Asset Consulting

    Watson Wyatt: Investment Consulting Group, Insurance and Financial Services
      Talent & Rewards:
    Towers Perrin: Executive Compensation and Rewards, Change Implementation, TP-ISR (Research & Surveys), Workforce Effectiveness
 
    Watson Wyatt: HCG, Data Services, Communication
  c.   Will we maintain our partnerships and strategic alliances in various geographic locations?
 
      We value all of our long-term relationships with our partners. During this time, we will maintain an open dialogue and communicate to the extent possible, as information becomes available and subject to applicable legal limitations. Until the transaction closes and we can meet with our counterparts, we do not know what our total geographic coverage needs will be. We will have adequate time to work with all of our partners on the best arrangement going forward, once we have more details after the transaction has closed.
 
      In the meantime, we will not be marketing ourselves as a combined firm. Unless or until our partners or alliances hear differently, they should continue to market their firms / alliances as they did before the announcement.
7.   Timing and Process
  a.   What is the planned timeline for finalizing the combination?
 
      The transaction is subject to approval by Watson Wyatt’s stockholders and Towers Perrin’s shareholders who are eligible to vote, and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory review and approvals, including competition reviews in the U.S. and other countries. Subject to satisfaction of these conditions, the companies anticipate a shareholder vote in the fourth quarter of 2009 and a closing date shortly thereafter.
 
      Integration planning can begin immediately. However, the actual integration of our two organizations will begin following the combination’s closing, and will be phased over the course of the subsequent 12 — 24 months. We ask for your ideas, support, and patience throughout the process.
