Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (MMC) today held its annual meeting of
shareholders, at which the company announced that its Board of Directors has
declared a quarterly dividend of $.20 per share, payable on August 15, 2008 to
shareholders of record on July 8, 2008.

MMC also announced that shareholders re-elected the entire slate of 2008
director nominees: Brian Duperreault; Stephen R. Hardis; The Rt. Hon. Lord Lang
of Monkton, DL; Bruce P. Nolop; Morton O. Schapiro; and Adele Simmons.

In further business at the annual meeting, shareholders ratified the appointment
of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public
accounting firm for 2008, and, as recommended by the Board of Directors,
approved an amendment to MMC's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to
eliminate the Board's classified structure. A stockholder proposal relating to
political contributions did not receive the number of votes required for
approval.
