Press Release

NEW YORK, Jul 29, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG) issued the following statement:

"We are proud of the great work Draftfcb has delivered to SC Johnson for nearly 60 years and of the powerful brands that the agency helped to build around the world. We are disappointed with today's decision. We remain fully committed to Draftfcb's integrated model, which has made it among our top performing units in recent years and allowed it to significantly diversify its marketing offerings and revenue base. We will be reviewing transitional plans on the SCJ business, but the impact to our financial results in 2011 will not be material."
