(the “Company” or “Gallagher”) completed its previously announced acquisition (the “Transaction”) of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Dolphin Topco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Acquired Entity” or “AssuredPartners”). The Transaction was completed pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on December 7, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, The AssuredPartners Group LP, a Delaware Limited partnership (the “Seller”), and the Acquired Entity. Upon the closing of the Transaction, the Company paid the Seller an aggregate purchase price of $13.8 billion in cash after giving effect to and subject to certain customary adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Company financed the acquisition with net proceeds from the previously disclosed equity and debt financing transactions (the “Acquisition Financing”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from and should be read in conjunction with: • Audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (as contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 18, 2025); • Unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (as contained in its Q2 2025 Interim Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 1, 2025); • Audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of AssuredPartners as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of AssuredPartners as of June 30, 2025 and for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and the historical consolidated financial statements of AssuredPartners, as adjusted to give effect to the Transaction and the Acquisition Financing. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 gives effect to the Transactions as if it occurred or had become effective on June 30, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings for the s i x months ended June 30, 2025 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, give effect to the Transactions as if it occurred or had b e c o m e effective on January 1, 2024. Further information about this basis of presentation is provided in Note 1 to this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information provides for pro forma adjustments giving effect to the following transactions: • The Transaction • The Acquisition Financing The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by us using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Gallagher has been treated as the acquirer in the Transaction for accounting purposes The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative and informational purposes only and does not purport to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company had the Transaction been completed as of the dates presented and should not be construed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity. Provisional estimates of fair value of AssuredPartners’ assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be subsequently reviewed and finalized within the first year of operations subsequent to the acquisition date to determine the necessity for adjustments. Fair value adjustments, if any, are most common to the values established for amortizable intangible assets, including expiration lists, trade name, and assembled workforce, with the offset to goodwill, net of any income tax effect. Provisional estimates of fair value were used by us to disclose the acquisition of AssuredPartners as of the acquisition date. We are using independent third party valuation specialists to assist us in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Transaction As of this filing, the specialists have not completed their analysis and thus these fair value estimates are provisional. These provisional fair value estimates will be subsequently reviewed and adjusted based on the results of this valuation. As a result of the foregoing, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may arise, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined Company’s future results of operations and financial position. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any expected cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined entity may achieve as a result of the acquisition or the costs necessary to achieve any such cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements. .3

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 – Basis of presentation The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by Gallagher in connection with the Company’s acquisition of AssuredPartners. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information and related notes were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and the historical consolidated financial statements of AssuredPartners, as adjusted to give effect to the pro forma adjustments described below. The pro forma adjustments to the statements of earnings have been prepared as if the Transaction occurred on January 1, 2024. The pro forma adjustments to the balance sheet have been prepared as if the Transaction occurred on June 30, 2025. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions, and therefore the actual effect of these transactions may differ from the pro forma adjustments. Gallagher and AssuredPartners’ historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of AssuredPartners as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of AssuredPartners as of June 30, 2025 and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, are attached to this filing as and 99.2, respectively. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, (“ASC 805”), with Gallagher considered the accounting acquirer of AssuredPartners. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, the purchase price consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of AssuredPartners based upon management’s preliminary estimate of their fair values as of June 30, 2025. The excess of the purchase price consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation and related adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to adjustment based on a final determination of fair value. The purchase price consideration as well as the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities will be updated and finalized as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the closing of the acquisition. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Gallagher believes are reasonable. Management has included certain reclassification and policy alignment adjustments for consistency in presentation as indicated in the subsequent notes (see Note 2 for further details). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company had the Transactions been completed as of the dates presented and should not be construed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity.
Note 2 – Reclassification adjustments Certain balances were reclassified from the AssuredPartners historical financial statements so its presentation would be consistent with that of Gallagher. These reclassifications are based on management’s preliminary analysis and have no effect on separately reported net assets, equity or net earnings attributed to common shareholders of AssuredPartners. When the Company completes its detailed review of AssuredPartners’ chart of accounts and accounting policies, additional reclassification adjustments could be identified that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined Company’s financial information. Refer to the table below for a summary of the reclassification adjustments made to AssuredPartners’ unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 to conform its presentation to that of Gallagher.
