Resolution 15 - Re-election of Jasmine Whitbread

The Company was pleased that Resolution 15 relating to Jasmine Whitbread's re-election to the Board was supported but notes that a significant minority were not able to support her re-election at this time due to concerns about the number of other directorships of listed companies held by Jasmine, and the potential impact on her time commitment to WPP. The Board believes that Jasmine continues to devote sufficient time to discharge her duties. However, the Board takes seriously the results of the AGM and will continue to engage with shareholders to understand and respond to their views on the matter.

Notes:

(1) The "for" votes include those giving the Chairman discretion.

(2) Total votes "for" and "against" are expressed as a percentage of the total votes cast.

(3) A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" or "against" a resolution.

(4) Issued Share Capital (excluding Treasury Shares): 1,098,813,213 ordinary shares.

The above poll results will shortly be available on WPP's website at www.wpp.com/investors . In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2 a copy of the resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business of the Company, will be submitted to the FCA and will in due course be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
