M&C SAATCHI PLC
(the "Company" or "M&C Saatchi")
Statement regarding press speculation
The Board of M&C Saatchi (the "Board") notes the recent press speculation relating to the Company's M&C Saatchi Performance division (the "Division"). The Board can confirm it received an unsolicited approach for the Division from Brave Bison Plc (the "Offer"). The Board is of the view that the Offer fundamentally undervalues the Division and does not reflect the future prospects for the Division which forms a core element of the Company's growth plans; as such no discussions are ongoing.
The Board remains focused on delivering value for the Company's shareholders.
