"FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION"

This document contains certain "forward-looking statements" about the proposed
merger of Havas Advertising and Snyder Communications. These include statements
regarding the anticipated closing date of the transaction, anticipated tax
consequences, and anticipated future operating results. Forward-looking
statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts. They often include words like "believe," "expect,"
"anticipate," "estimated," "pro forma," and "intend" or future or conditional
verbs such as "will," "would," or "may." Certain factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from expected results include delays in completing
the merger, difficulties in integrating the Snyder Communications companies with
the Havas Advertising divisions, and changes in general economic conditions that
may adversely affect the businesses in which Havas Advertising and Snyder
Communications are engaged and changes in the securities markets.
