     $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), as well as options to purchase shares of
     the Common Stock, of Young & Rubicam Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
     "Company"). All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise

Item 6.   Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of
          Another Person.

          Item 6 of the original Schedule 13G is hereby amended by deleting the
          last sentence thereof and inserting the following in its place: The
          Young & Rubicam Grantor Trust, which was established by the Company
          pursuant to the Young & Rubicam Inc. Grantor Trust Agreement, held as
          of December 31, 1999 approximately  4.8% of the outstanding shares of
          Common Stock of the Company and has the right to receive the proceeds
          from the sale of those securities.

Item 8.   Identification and Classification of Members of the
          Group.

          Item 8 of the Original Schedule 13G is hereby amended to read in its
          entirety as follows:

     Pursuant to the Management Voting Trust Agreement, employee and former
employee equityholders of the Company (the "Management Investors") and the Young
& Rubicam Holdings Inc. restricted stock trust (the "Restricted Stock Trust")
are required to deposit with the Young & Rubicam Management Voting Trust all
shares of Common Stock and all shares of Money Market Preferred Stock, acquired
by them prior to the termination of the Young & Rubicam Management Voting Trust
(including Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of options, distributions
from the Restricted Stock Trust or otherwise). Common Stock sold by Management
Investors and the Restricted Stock Trust will be withdrawn from, and delivered
free of, the Young & Rubicam Management Voting Trust.

     The Young & Rubicam Management Voting Trust has the unqualified right and
power to vote and to execute consents with respect to all shares of Common Stock
and all shares of Money Market Preferred Stock held by the Young & Rubicam
Management Voting Trust. The voting rights of the Young & Rubicam Management
Voting Trust are exercised by certain members of senior management of the
Company, in their capacities as voting trustees (the "Voting Trustees"). The
current Voting Trustees are Stephanie W. Abramson, Thomas D. Bell, Jr., Michael
J. Dolan, Satish Korde and Edward H. Vick (each of whom is currently a member of
the senior management of the Company). So long as Thomas D. Bell, Jr. (or a
successor Chief Executive Officer elected with the approval of the Young &
Rubicam Management Voting Trust) is a Voting Trustee, any action (i) approved in
writing or at a meeting by Thomas D. Bell, Jr. (or such succcessor) and any two
other Voting Trustees and (ii) any action approved over the objection of Thomas
D. Bell, Jr. (or such successor) at a meeting of the Voting Trustees by the vote
of all of the other Voting Trustees, shall constitute the action of, and shall
be binding upon, the Young & Rubicam Management Voting Trust. The foregoing
voting procedures will also apply to the election and removal of Voting
Trustees, to proposals to increase or decrease the number of Voting Trustees and
to proposals to amend the foregoing voting procedures.

     The Young & Rubicam Management Voting Trust will terminate when (i) no
person is the owner of more than 20% of the Outstanding Shares (as defined in
the Management Voting Trust Agreement) of Common Stock, (ii) the number of
shares of Common Stock held by the Young & Rubicam Management Voting Trust is
less than 10% of the Outstanding Shares of Common Stock or (iii) the Voting
Trustees determine to terminate the Young & Rubicam Management Voting Trust.
Pursuant to an irrevocable unanimous written consent of the Voting Trustees, the
Young & Rubicam Management Voting Trust will terminate on May 15, 2000, assuming
no earlier termination in accordance with its terms.
