7 Oct 2019

On 12 July 2019, WPP announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell 60% of Kantar, its global data, research, consulting and analytics business, to Bain Capital (the “Transaction”). The Transaction creates a strong partnership for the development and growth of Kantar.

The Transaction is conditional on, amongst other things, the approval of WPP shareholders.
