Written communications pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act (17 CFR 230.425)
Soliciting material pursuant to Rule 14a-12 under the Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.14a-12)

As a result of the cumulative effect of (1) the cash dividend on common stock declared by the Board of Directors of The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. (“IPG” or the “Company”) payable on June 22, 2012 to holders of record as of June 8, 2012, and (2) the common stock cash dividend paid on March 23, 2012, the number of shares of IPG common stock into which the Company’s 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “4.75% Notes”) may be converted has been adjusted in accordance with the terms of the notes.
The applicable conversion rate for the 4.75% Notes has been adjusted as follows:
|
Former Conversion Rate
|
New Conversion Rate
|
Former Total Conversion Shares
|
New Total Conversion Shares
|
| |
|
|
|
|
82.4612
|
83.3669
|
16,492,240
|
16,673,380
|
The conversion rate with respect to the 4.75% Notes is the number of IPG common shares into which each $1,000 principal amount of notes may be converted, which as adjusted represents a conversion price of approximately $12.00 per conversion share.
The conversion rate with respect to the Company’s 51/4% Series B Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock has not been adjusted since March 2012 because the applicable threshold before further adjustment is required has not been reached.
