oral or written public statements issued by or on behalf of the Company. These forward-looking statements may include, among other things, plans, objectives, projections and anticipated future economic performance based on assumptions and the like
that are subject to risks and uncertainties. As such, actual results or outcomes may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ include but are not limited to:
the unanticipated loss of a material client or key personnel, delays or reductions in client advertising budgets, shifts in industry rates of compensation, regulatory compliance costs or litigation, natural disasters or acts of terrorism, the
Company&#146;s exposure to changes in the values of major currencies other than the UK pound sterling (because a substantial portion of its revenues are derived and costs incurred outside of the United Kingdom) and the overall level of economic
activity in the Company&#146;s major markets (which varies depending on, among other things, regional, national and international political and economic conditions and government regulations in the world&#146;s advertising markets). In light of
these and other uncertainties, the forward-looking statements included in the oral or written public statements should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the Company&#146;s plans and objectives will be achieved. </FONT></P>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Introduction </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">WPP plc (&#147;<B>WPP</B>&#148;) announced in its interim results statement,
which was published on 30&nbsp;August 2012, that its Board had approved a decision to return its headquarters to the United Kingdom and that this would require share owners&#146; consent which would be sought in December. This announcement contains
further details of WPP&#146;s proposal to return to the UK, including the expected timetable. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In November 2008, WPP was introduced as a new
parent company for the WPP Group, tax resident in the Republic of Ireland, as a direct result of concerns over the financial impact for the Group of the then Labour Government&#146;s proposals for the taxation of foreign profits. Following the
Coalition Government&#146;s implementation of a new regime for the taxation of foreign profits, which will be effective from 1&nbsp;January 2013, the concerns that the Board had in 2008 no longer apply and as a result the Board is proposing to
return the headquarters of WPP to the UK. A return to the UK should not have a tax cost for the WPP Group, at least for the remainder of this Government. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In order to effect the return to the United Kingdom, it is proposed to put in place a new parent company for the WPP Group (&#147;<B>New WPP</B>&#148;), which will be incorporated in Jersey and tax
resident in the UK, by means of a scheme of arrangement pursuant to Article 125 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (the &#147;<B>Scheme</B>&#148;). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Scheme will not result in any significant changes in the day-to-day conduct of the business of the WPP group, its strategy or its dividend policy. New WPP will have the same board and management team
as WPP on the date that the Scheme becomes effective, and the implementation of the Scheme will not result in any material changes to corporate governance or existing investor protections which currently apply in relation to WPP. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The introduction of New WPP as the new parent company of the WPP Group will be carried out by way of the Scheme. The key features of the Scheme will be as

shortly and made available on WPP&#146;s website (<U>www.wpp.com</U>) and via the website of the National Storage Mechanism (<U>www.hemscott.com/nsm.do</U>). </FONT></P>
