Update regarding Executive Chair

The Company provides below an internal note that Sir Martin Sorrell will share today:

"To all S4. Monks :

I wanted to update you following the successful keyhole surgery I had in February, which was to remove a tumour. I have made an excellent recovery, and, as you would expect, I have sought the best possible medical advice. My conclusion is that I should have preventative treatment over the coming months. My doctors have advised me that during this treatment, I should be able to work as normal most of the time, fully engaging with the Company and our excellent Executive team, although I have also decided to reduce my travel schedule for a few weeks. Otherwise, business as usual. Thank you as ever for your continued support and let me know how to help you in any way I can.

Sir Martin Sorrell "

The Company now has approximately 8,900 people in 32 countries with approximately 70% of revenue across the Americas, 20% across Europe, the Middle East and Africa and 10% across Asia-Pacific. The longer-term objective is a geographic split of 60%:20%:20%. Content currently accounts for approximately 60% of revenue, Data&Digital Media 30% and Technology Services 10%. The long-term objective for the practices is a split of 50%:25%:25%.

Sir Martin was CEO of WPP for 33 years, building it from a GBP1 million 'shell' company in 1985 into the world's largest advertising and marketing services company, with a market capitalisation of over GBP16 billion on the day he left. Prior to that Sir Martin was Group Financial Director of Saatchi & Saatchi Company Plc for nine years.
