* Omnicom had the right to acquire these shares pursuant to a Tender, Voting and
Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with Armstrong Acquisition Corp., M/A/R/C
Inc., certain shareholders of M/A/R/C Inc. and certain of such shareholders'
spouses. When Armstrong Acquisition Corp. purchased these shares, the option
expired in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
** Armstrong Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom and the
owner of 93.06% of the outstanding stock of M/A/R/C Inc., merged itself with and
into M/A/R/C Inc., with M/A/R/C Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation.
Pursuant to the merger, each of the 100 shares of common stock, no par value per
share, of Armstrong Acquisition Corp. issued and outstanding immediately before
the effective time of the merger now represents one validly issued, fully paid
nonassessable share of common stock, no par value per share, of the surviving
corporation. Following the merger, the common stock of M/A/R/C Inc. was
deregistered by filing a Form 15.
