M&C Saatchi plc, is pleased to announce that the Board has decided that it is in the interests of shareholders as a whole
to pay a second interim dividend of 2.75p per ordinary share of 1 pence each ("Ordinary Share") in the current tax year,

April 2010, to all shareholders on the register at the close of business on 19 March 2010. The Ordinary Shares will be
