<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">New York, NY, November 9, 2016 (NASDAQ:
MDCA) &ndash; <FONT STYLE="font-weight: normal">MDC Partners Inc. (&ldquo;</FONT>MDC Partners<FONT STYLE="font-weight: normal">&rdquo;
or the &ldquo;</FONT>Company<FONT STYLE="font-weight: normal">&rdquo;) announced today that it has reached an agreement in principle
to resolve the ongoing investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;</FONT>SEC<FONT STYLE="font-weight: normal">&rdquo;).
The SEC Commissioners must still approve the proposed framework agreement, which was reached with the Philadelphia Regional Office

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company first announced the SEC investigation
on April 27, 2015, as well as subsequent actions taken as part of an internal investigation, including the resignation by Miles
Nadal, the Company&rsquo;s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.&nbsp; As a result of the investigation, Mr. Nadal agreed
to fully repay the Company for improper expenses incurred in an aggregate amount of $11,285,000, together with an amount equal
to $10,581,605 in respect of prior cash bonus awards.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Under the proposed framework agreement,
the Company is not admitting liability. The Company would agree to entry of a cease and desist order that it not violate Section
17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections&nbsp;13(a), 13(b) and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and related
rules requiring that periodic filings be accurate (including Regulation G), that accurate books and records and a system of internal
accounting controls be maintained and that solicitations of proxies comply with the securities laws, which the SEC Staff has concluded
MDC unintentionally violated. In addition, the Company would pay a $1.5 million civil penalty to the SEC to resolve all potential
claims by the SEC against the Company relating to these matters. There will be no restatement of any of the Company&rsquo;s previously-filed
financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Scott L. Kauffman, the Company&rsquo;s
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated that &ldquo;We are extremely pleased that this matter is on its way towards final
resolution for the Company and our stakeholders.&rdquo;&nbsp; Mr. Kauffman added, &ldquo;We greatly appreciate that the Philadelphia
Regional Office of the SEC recognized our high level of cooperation and the extensive internal investigation conducted by the Company&rsquo;s
Special Committee and outside counsel, as well as the self-initiated remedial measures implemented in connection with new policies
and procedures.&rdquo;</P>
