---------------------                                         

     On March 7, 2002,  Publicis,  the  Company,  Philadelphia  Merger LLC,  and
Philadelphia  Merger  Corp.,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Publicis  ("Merger
Corp."),  entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"),
pursuant to which the Company  will be merged  under  Delaware law with and into
Merger Corp. (the "Merger"),  with Merger Corp. being the surviving corporation.
All of the  stockholders of the Company,  other than  stockholders  who exercise
dissenters'  rights, will become entitled to receive ordinary shares of Publicis
and the other merger consideration more fully described in the Merger Agreement.

     The Merger is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,  including
receipt of regulatory  approvals and approval from the  stockholders of Publicis
and the Company,  as set forth in the Merger  Agreement.  The Merger  Agreement,
listed as Exhibit 1 below, is incorporated herein by reference.                 

     Pursuant  to the Merger  Agreement,  each of  Publicis  and the  Company is
prohibited from soliciting any competing transaction and, subject to limitations
based on fiduciary  duties,  from discussions or negotiations  with respect to a
competing transaction. In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated in the
event of a  competing  transaction  for either  Publicis  or the  Company  under
certain  circumstances,   the  party  that  is  the  subject  of  the  competing
transaction  is  required  to pay to the other  party a  termination  fee of $90
million.                                                                        

     As a condition  to Publicis'  agreeing to enter into the Merger  Agreement,
Dentsu Inc., and Roger A. Haupt, Richard B. Fizdale, Roy J. Bostock and Craig D.
Brown, respectively,  all of whom are stockholders of the Company (collectively,
the "Stockholders"),  have entered into support agreements with Publicis,  dated
as of March 7, 2002 (collectively, the "Publicis Support Agreements"),  pursuant
to which the  Stockholders  have agreed to vote their Common  Shares in favor of
the  Merger  Agreement  and the  Merger  and have  agreed  to vote  against  any
competing  transaction  and not to transfer any of their Common Shares,  in each
case for the periods specified in the Publicis Support Agreements.              

     As a condition to the Company's entering into the Merger Agreement, Somarel
and Madame  Elizabeth  Badinter have entered into a support  agreement  with the
Company,  dated as of March 7, 2002 (the "Somarel Support Agreement"),  pursuant
to which  Somarel  and  Madame  Elizabeth  Badinter  have  agreed to vote  their
Publicis  ordinary  shares in favor of the Merger  Agreement  and the Merger and
have agreed to vote against any competing transaction and not to transfer any of
their Publicis  ordinary shares,  in each case for the periods  specified in the
Somarel Support Agreement.                                                      

     The preceding summaries of certain provisions of the Merger Agreement,  the
Publicis Support  Agreements and the Somarel Support  Agreement are not intended
to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text
of such  agreements.  The Publicis  Support  Agreements and the Somarel  Support
Agreement  are  listed as Exhibits  2, 3 and 4 below,  respectively,  each of   
which is incorporated herein by reference.
