        <footnote id="F1">These shares were acquired by the reporting person as a grant of performance restricted stock units (PRSUs).  The ultimate
 number of PRSUs received by the reporting person will depend upon Omnicom's return on equity over the coming three years, as
 compared to the return on equity of Omnicom's five principal competitors.  Between 50% and 100% of the PRSUs would
 ultimately be received by the reporting person, depending on Omnicom's rank as compared to such competitors.  Each PRSU
 represents the right to receive one share of Omnicom's common stock upon vesting.  The PRSUs are eligible to vest in five
 annual installments beginning on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued employment with Omnicom
 or its subsidiaries on the applicable date.</footnote>
