·	Publicis Groupe controls more than 95% of Business Interactif’s capital and voting rights

·	Reopening of offer during 16 trading days

·	A mandatory squeeze-out procedure to be initiated after the second phase of the tender offer

September 19, 2007– Publicis Groupe today announced the success of its tender offer for Business Interactif, with the valid tendering of 5,746,560 Business Interactif shares. Taking into account the shares already held by Publicis Groupe, as well as the treasury shares held by Business Interactif, Publicis Groupe now controls more than 95% of Business Interactif’s capital and voting rights.

As indicated in the prospectus registered with the Autorité des marchés financiers under visa n° 07-280 dated August 1, 2007, the tender offer will be reopened. Given that Business Interactif will publish its half-year results on October 5, 2007, the offer will be reopened for 16 trading days between September 21, 2007 and October 12, 2007 (inclusive) in order to allow the remaining Business Interactif shareholders to know the half-year results before responding to the offer.

In the tender offer Publicis Groupe has irrevocably committed to the following conditions:
- Pursuant to the main tender offer: Investors will be offered 167 euros and 5 Publicis Groupe shares against 33 Business Interactif shares.
- In the subsidiary offer: Investors will be offered 10.10 euros per Business Interactif share in the subsidiary cash tender offer, or 10 newly issued Publicis Groupe shares against 33 Business Interactif shares in the subsidiary exchange tender offer, both subsidiary offers being subject to an aggregate cap of 50% in cash and 50% in newly issued Publicis Groupe shares.

After the settlement of the reopened tender offer period, since the Business Interactif minority shareholders already hold less than 5% of the capital and voting rights, Publicis Groupe will initiate a mandatory squeeze-out procedure pursuant to which the minority shareholders will receive an all cash consideration of 10.10 euros for each untendered Business Interactif share.
