Item 7.01 - Regulation FD Disclosure

Towers Watson & Co. (referred herein as "Towers Watson" or the "Company") is furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K ("Form 8-K") to provide unaudited supplemental financial information for each of the quarters of fiscal year 2014 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, to reflect the results of our operating segment reorganization that became effective on July 1, 2014.

The Company classifies its operations into four operating segments: Benefits, Risk and Financial Services, Talent and Rewards and Exchange Solutions. On January 23, 2014, Towers Watson announced plans to expand the Exchange Solutions segment by combining operations and associates primarily from portions of the North American Technology and Administration Solutions line of business with the Retiree & Access Exchanges and Liazon lines of business to better align their respective strategic goals. This reorganization took effect on July 1, 2014. The information contained in this Form 8-K is being furnished to assist investors in understanding how the Company's operating segment results would have been presented in previously filed reports had such results been reported on the basis of the Company's operating segments commencing in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The revised supplemental financial information does not represent a revision or restatement of previously issued financial statements.

The following table summarizes the unaudited supplemental financial information of the Company for each of the quarters of fiscal year 2014 and for the year ended June 30, 2014, to reflect the results of its operating segment reorganization that became effective on July 1, 2014. Only the Benefits and Exchange Solutions segments were impacted by the reorganization. Since the reorganization would have no impact on the Risk and Financial Services and Talent and Rewards segments, these segments' results have not been included in this disclosure. All dollar amounts are in thousands.
