On October 22, 2014, Omnicom Group Inc. (“Omnicom Group”), together with its wholly owned direct finance subsidiary, Omnicom Capital Inc. (collectively with Omnicom Group, the “Issuers”), announced the pricing of their public offering of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.65% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). The Notes will mature on November 1, 2024. The transaction is expected to close on October 29, 2014. In connection with the offering, the Issuers entered into an underwriting agreement dated October 22, 2014 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein. The Underwriting Agreement includes the terms and conditions of the offer and sale of the Notes, indemnification and contribution obligations and other terms and conditions customary in agreements of this type. The foregoing disclosure is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Notes will be issued under a base indenture to be entered into among the Issuers and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto to be entered into among the Issuers and the Trustee.
The Issuers expect to receive net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, of approximately $741.6 million and intend to use such net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which could include working capital expenditures, fixed asset expenditures, acquisitions, refinancing of other debt, repurchases of common stock or other capital transactions.
The Notes are being offered pursuant to the Issuers’ shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333- 184510) , which became effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 19, 2012.
