Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 10-K covers the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, for Structured Products Corp. acting as Depositor on behalf of the Credit-Enhanced CorTS Trust For Aon Capital A. The Registrant is a special purpose entity established to issue Credit-Enhanced Corporate-Backed Trust Securities (Certificates) backed by underlying securities issued or guaranteed by Aon plc (Exchange Act File No. 001-07933). The Certificates are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol KTN. Pursuant to SEC no-action letters regarding Corporate Asset Backed Corporations, the Depositor is not required to provide standard business descriptions, risk factors, or management discussion and analysis.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing explicitly states that Item 6 (Selected Financial Data), Item 7 (Management's Discussion and Analysis), and Item 8 (Financial Statements) are Not Applicable or contain None for the Registrant. Consequently, the filing text does not provide clear values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The financial performance of the Certificates is derived entirely from the underlying securities of Aon plc, and investors are directed to Aon plc's periodic reports for such data.
Material Changes
The filing does not disclose specific material changes in financial condition or results of operations for the Registrant, as the entity serves as a pass-through vehicle. The only operational activity noted is the filing of Trustee Distribution Statements for the January 2, 2019, and July 1, 2019, distribution dates via Form 8-K. No changes in the underlying issuer or guarantor were reported in this document.

- Guidance and Outlook: The filing contains no management commentary, guidance, or outlook. Item 7A regarding market risk disclosures is listed as "None."
- Risks and Contingencies: Item 1A (Risk Factors) and Item 3 (Legal Proceedings) are listed as "None." However, the Introductory Note includes a standard disclaimer stating that neither the Depositor nor the Trustee has verified the accuracy of the underlying issuer's reports and that events affecting Aon plc may impact the Certificates.
- Unusual Items: No unusual items were reported. The Registrant is classified as a non-accelerated filer and is not a shell company.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Review Aon plc's most recent 10-K and 10-Q filings for actual revenue, profit, and liquidity data, as this filing contains none.
- Confirm the status of the Trustee (U.S. Bank Trust National Association) and the terms of the Base Trust Agreement dated December 15, 2000.
- Check the New York Stock Exchange for the current trading status and price of the Certificates (Symbol: KTN).
