As part of the disposal of MMS Communication LLC, the Groupe reached an agreement to buy back 100% of the Company’s share capital. This option is subject to a return to normal operating conditions, taking into account a five-year exercise period starting on March 28, 2024. This period may be extended to 12 years, at the sole discretion of Publicis Groupe.

Given the current conditions, this call option has an insignificant value at the closing date.

The Groupe holds a call option on the remaining 50.11% of the capital of Core 1 WML, a media agency based in Ireland. The call option is valued at the market price according to the multiples method applied to the operating margin before amortization (as for the acquisition of 33.7% of the capital of Core 1 WML carried out in 2022). As the control premium does not represent a significant value, this purchase option has a zero value as of December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, there were no significant commitments such as pledges, guarantees or collateral, or any other significant off-balance sheet commitments, in accordance with currently applicable accounting standards.
