Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On February 28, 2024, Omnicom Finance Holdings plc (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Omnicom Group Inc. (the “Guarantor”), announced the pricing of its public offering of €600 million aggregate principal amount of 3.700% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor. The Notes will mature on March 6, 2032. The transaction is expected to close on March 6, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. In connection with the offering, the Issuer and the Guarantor entered into an underwriting agreement dated February 28, 2024 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with Barclays Bank PLC, BNP Paribas, HSBC Bank plc and J.P. Morgan Securities plc, as representatives of the several underwriters, and the other underwriters named therein. The Underwriting Agreement includes the terms and conditions of the offer and sale of the Notes, indemnification and contribution obligations and other terms and conditions customary in agreements of this type. The foregoing disclosure is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Notes will be issued under the base indenture, to be entered into among the Issuer, the Guarantor and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto to be entered into among the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee.

 

The Issuer expects to receive net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses, of approximately €593.9 million and intends to use such net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which could include working capital expenditures, fixed asset expenditures, acquisitions, repayment of commercial paper and short-term debt, refinancing of other debt, repurchases of the Guarantor’s common stock or other capital transactions.

 

The Notes are being offered pursuant to the Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-261046), which became effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2021.
