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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="center"><U>EXHIBIT INDEX </U></P>
