                                               PURSUANT TO RULE 425 UNDER THE

                                      SUBJECT COMPANY: GREY GLOBAL GROUP INC.
                                              COMMISSION FILE NO.: 333-119949

At the request of WPP, the Trustee under the Indenture relating to Grey's
5% Contingent Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2003 communicated the
following statement from WPP during a November 22, 2005 conference call
among certain of the Debenture holders in which the Trustee participated:

"WPP is aware of the recent written and verbal communication from the Grey
bond holders. WPP believes that the methodology for determining the
post-merger conversion consideration for the Grey Debentures that is
reflected in the Merger Agreement between WPP and Grey is consistent with
the terms of the Indenture. At the same time, WPP understands that, in
light of the increase in the WPP share price since the announcement of the
Merger, this methodology is likely to result in the Debentures being
convertible after the merger solely for cash -- an outcome that has
expressed to be unsatisfactory by certain of the Debenture holders.
Recognizing this, WPP is carrying out a full review with its lawyers,
investment bankers and other parties of all Debenture-related matters that
will be affected by the change of ownership of Grey. Based on this review,
WPP expects to communicate with bond holders with respect to the terms and
conditions and entitlements that will apply with respect to the Grey
debentures after the completion of the merger.

Although the exact timing of when WPP will complete its review and formally
communicate with bond holders has yet to be determined, WPP expects to
communicate with bond holders sufficiently prior to closing to allow time
for the bond holders to consider their position before closing. In that
connection, WPP notes that, due to the fact that regulatory and shareholder
clearances have not yet been obtained, the completion of the transaction of
Grey will not occur until at least early 2005."
