<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the &#147;Reform Act&#148;), the Company 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. In addition, you should consider the risks described in Item&nbsp;3D, captioned &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in the Company&#146;s Form 20-F for the year ended 31&nbsp;December 2015, which could also cause actual
results to differ from forward-looking information. In light of these and other uncertainties, the forward-looking statements included in this document 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:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>EXHIBIT INDEX </B></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
