    NEW YORK, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Omnicom (NYSE:OMC) and Interpublic (NYSE:IPG) today announced that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has concluded its antitrust review of Omnicom's proposed acquisition of Interpublic and reached agreement with Omnicom and IPG on a mutually acceptable consent order.

    "We are delighted that our transaction with Interpublic has cleared this significant regulatory hurdle," said John Wren, Chairman & CEO of Omnicom. "This is an important step toward the completion of the proposed acquisition and creating a new era in which we help clients grow with a comprehensive range of marketing and sales solutions, incorporating both creativity and technology. We continue to look forward to obtaining the remaining regulatory approvals and closing in the second half of this year, consistent with our expectations when we announced this transaction."

    "Today's news is a notable step forward in the process of combining our companies and their deep pools of talent, complementary capabilities, and geographic strengths," added Philippe Krakowsky, CEO of Interpublic. "Together with John and as part of his team, we will be exceptionally well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of clients in a consumer and media landscape being transformed by technology and data."

    With the agreed consent order, which is publicly available on the FTC's website at www.ftc.gov, on June 23, 2025, the FTC granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The consent order is now subject to a 30-day public comment period and then final acceptance by the FTC.
