FTC issues second request in Omnicom's acquisition of Interpublic

Omnicom and Interpublic announced that the companies have each received a request for Additional Information and Documentary Material (Second Request) from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in connection with Omnicom’s proposed acquisition of Interpublic.

The Second Request is a standard part of the regulatory process and was issued under notification requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

Omnicom and Interpublic have been engaged with the FTC throughout the regulatory process and will continue to address its queries going forward.

Both parties continue to expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2025. Completion of the acquisition remains subject to Omnicom and Interpublic stockholder approvals, further required regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions.
