M&C Saatchi PLC
21 May 2007

                                M&C SAATCHI PLC
                        ('M&C Saatchi' or the 'Company')

 M&C Saatchi to acquire half of Philip Georgiadis' shareholding in Walker Media
                                Holdings Limited

M&C Saatchi plc is pleased to announce that it has agreed to acquire half of the
issued ordinary shares held by Phil Georgiadis in Walker Media Holdings Limited
('Walker Media').  Phil Georgiadis will retain the remainder of his
shareholding.

Walker Media is a media planning and buying company that Christine Walker
founded with Phil Georgiadis and M&C Saatchi in 1997.  Walker Media is the
eighth largest media agency in the UK, with annual billings in excess of £300
million.

As at today's date, M&C Saatchi owns 75% of the shares in Walker Media.  On 4
May 2007, M&C Saatchi announced its agreement to purchase all of the shares held
by Christine Walker in Walker Media which represented approximately 14% of the
issued share capital of Walker Media.  Phil Georgiadis is currently the chief
executive of Walker Media and as a result of his current position, the
acquisition of the shares held by Phil Georgiadis in Walker Media ('Sale
Shares') now being announced is a related party transaction under the AIM Rules.

The Sale Shares represent approximately 4.75% of the issued share capital of
Walker Media.  As consideration for the acquisition of the Sale Shares, Phil
Georgiadis will receive an amount per share based on a valuation of the Walker
Media group equal to 15.7 times the consolidated profit for the Walker Media
group (after tax, interest, depreciation and amortisation) for the financial
year ending 31 December 2007.  This will be satisfied by the issue of shares in
M&C Saatchi to the value of £730,825, with the remainder to be satisfied by
cash.

This transaction is scheduled to complete on 2 July 2007.  M&C Saatchi have
agreed to make a cash payment by way of initial consideration on such date equal
to £2,134,038.  This will be subject to an adjustment payment in cash by either
M&C Saatchi or Phil Georgiadis (as applicable) following the determination of
the consolidated profit for the Walker Media group for the financial year ending
31 December 2007.

M&C Saatchi's directors, having consulted with Numis Securities Limited,
consider the terms of the transaction to be fair and reasonable insofar as M&C
Saatchi's shareholders are concerned.
