Interpublic Announces Settlement Election in Connection with Outstanding Warrants

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG) today made a required announcement under its
warrant agreement dated as of June 13, 2006, which was entered into in
connection with its ELF financing transaction. The company said that, should
there be any settlement related to the automatic exercise of the warrants on
June 15, 2009, it has elected, pursuant to Section 3.01 of the warrant
agreement, that each warrant holder shall be entitled to receive cash (rather
than IPG shares).

The amount to be paid, if any, will be equal to the Net Cash Amount (as set
forth in Section 3.02 of the warrant agreement), which is based on the
difference between the stated exercise price of the warrant and the market price
of IPG`s common stock over a 30-trading-day period between June 18, 2009 and
July 29, 2009. The stated exercise price of the capped warrants issued under the
warrant agreement is $9.89; the stated exercise price of the uncapped warrants
is $11.91. The closing price of IPG`s common stock was $5.24 on May 29, 2009,
47.0% and 56.0% below the respective exercise prices.
