may include forward-looking statements (as defined in the Reform Act) in 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> <P STYLE="margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2"><U>EXHIBIT INDEX </U></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">LONDON&#151;WPP (NASDAQ:WPPGY) announces the launch of Geometry Global which even at inception will form the largest and geographically strongest activation agency
in the world. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">Geometry Global will be an autonomous network within WPP. With headquarters in London and New York, it comprises G2, Grey Group&#146;s
activation agency, OgilvyAction, Ogilvy&nbsp;&amp; Mather&#146;s activation business and JWTAction, JWT&#146;s shopper marketing and experiential agency. JWTAction is itself a joint venture between JWT and OgilvyAction in the United States and will
retain its autonomy within Geometry Global. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">Geometry Global addresses increasing client demand for activation, which with the emergence of digital and
mobile media, now results in reaching people both inside the store and outside the retail environment more effectively. Fast growth sectors in the industry, such as digital, social media, mobile and search drive growth in activation, as does the
increasing importance of shopper marketing. According to Grocery Manufacturers Association&#146;s &#147;Shopper Marketing 5.0&#148; study, shopper marketing alone is a US$50-60 billion category. That is up from an estimated US$35 billion in 2009. It
is one of the fastest growing sectors in marketing. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">Geometry Global will service its clients with more resource, talent and a bigger geographical
footprint than the component agencies could have achieved separately. Geometry Global will operate in 56 markets and employ almost 4,000 activation specialists. The companies bring complementary expertise in consumer activation, trade marketing,
shopper marketing, one-to-one marketing and digital activation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">Toby Hoare will be Chairman of Geometry Global and will be based in London. He retains
his responsibilities as CEO of JWT Europe and Chairman of JWT London. He will share his time between the two companies. Steve Harding, formerly CEO of OgilvyAction, will be Geometry Global&#146;s first CEO. Harding will be based in New York. Matthew
Schetlick, formerly the COO/ CFO of G2, becomes the COO/CFO of Geometry Global and will also be based in New York. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">&#147;With peoples&#146; attitudes
and behaviors transformed by the digital and mobile revolution, traditional activation requires both a broader set of capabilities and a laser focused approach to be truly worth the increased investment from marketers,&#148; said Hoare. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">Harding added: &#147;The global context adds another dimension as marketers and retailers alike look to capitalize on consumer spending in fast growing markets.
Geometry Global combines all these together under one roof in more places around the world than any other network of its kind.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">Geometry Global
