*Includes discretionary votes.

**A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is therefore not counted towards the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" the resolution.

All resolutions presented to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting were passed with the required majority of votes.

However, the Board of M&C Saatchi notes that 20% or more of votes were cast against the Board's recommendation for resolutions 2, 6, 10 and 11. We remain committed to a constructive and positive relationship with our shareholders and as such, will continue to engage actively with our shareholders to understand their views and, where applicable, their reasons for the votes against these resolutions. We value the input and views of all shareholders and will carefully consider all feedback. We will publish an update on that engagement and on any action taken as a result of this within six months of the Annual General Meeting, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code.

The results of the poll will be published on the Company's website https://www.mcsaatchiplc.com/reports-results/2022
