<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; 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;), WPP plc and its
subsidiaries (the &#147;Company&#148;) 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 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 2016, 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 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: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:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>EXHIBIT INDEX

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL">WPP announces that its wholly-owned operating company, AKQA, the global brand experience studio, has acquired a majority stake in digital agency DIS/PLAY in Denmark.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL">DIS/PLAY provides strategy, user experience, design, and technical development solutions to clients. Employing more than 100 people in Copenhagen and Aarhus,
DIS/PLAY&#146;s clients include Amnesty International, ECCO and Vestas. The acquisition builds AKQA&#146;s European presence and capabilities while providing DIS/PLAY with access to AKQA&#146;s global network and resources. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL">DIS/PLAY&#146;s revenues for the year ended 31 December 2016 were DKK 105 million, with gross assets of DKK 49 million, as at the same date. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL">This acquisition continues WPP&#146;s strategy in developing its services in important markets and sectors and strengthening its capabilities in digital marketing. In
Denmark WPP companies (including associates) generate revenues of over US$150 million and employ almost 1,000 people. Collectively, in Scandinavia WPP companies (including associates) generate revenues of almost US$500 million and employ over 2,500
people. WPP&#146;s digital revenues were over US$7.5 billion in 2016, representing 39% of the Group&#146;s total revenue of US$19.4 billion. WPP has set a target of 40-45% of revenue to be derived from digital in the next five years. For the first
six months of 2017, digital revenues reached 41% of total revenue. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
