Marsh agrees to acquire Wilshire from CC Capital and Motive Partners

The candidate is supported by a contemporaneous wire report (news 102394) and a corroborating Marsh announcement (web 2600874), both explicitly stating that Marsh agreed to acquire Wilshire from CC Capital and Motive Partners. This is a material change in control with forward implications for Marsh’s business perimeter and Wilshire’s ownership, so merger_acquisition is the appropriate type and the development should be approved. The agreement has been announced but has not closed; transaction terms are not provided, and completion is expected in the first quarter of 2027 subject to regulatory approvals, client consents, and other customary conditions. November 10, 2026 is explicitly stated as the announcement date; 21:10 UTC is based on the contemporaneous source timestamp and is therefore an estimate of the real-world announcement time. MRSH, AON, WTW, SEIC, and ENV are approved because the event directly affects the acquirer or has a clear competitive channel through institutional consulting, OCIO, advisor-led wealth, model portfolios, and investment-platform capabilities. Other listed stakeholders are excluded because their exposure is indirect, conditional, or unsupported by an event-specific commercial relationship.
