Publicis Groupe: Press release

PRESS
RELEASE
April 1, 2019 -
Paris - Publicis Groupe [Euronext Paris :
FR0000130577, CAC 40] confirms that it is studying the
potential acquisition of Epsilon, which is currently under a sale
process by Alliance Data Systems Corporation (NYSE: ADS). Epsilon
is a major player in data and targeted marketing solutions (mass
personalization) operating mainly in North America.
The Group's governing bodies feel an obligation to
study any possibility to strengthen its position thanks to assets
that could fit the Group's strategy and bring an enhanced service
to the Group's clients, while reinforcing its competitiveness for
the future.
This being said, as discussions are currently
underway and the project is being analyzed, the Group cannot give
any indication on whether a transaction would materialize or not
and, should the Group decide to make an offer, under which terms
and conditions. It has happened - again recently - that the Group
studied potential targets but chose not to make any offer as the
contemplated transactions did not meet the necessary criteria.
In compliance with its
obligations, Publicis Groupe will inform the market should this
acquisition materialize.
