The bond is composed of 17,624,521 bonds of ?39.15 each (representing a premium of 35% over the Publicis share reference price at the time of the issue), issued at par and bearing interest at the annual rate of 1%. These bonds will be redeemed in full at their maturity, on January 18, 2018, for an amount corresponding to 134.59% of par. However, they may be amortized prior to maturity, either privately on the public markets or by public tender or exchange offers, at any time on or after January 18, 2007. Bondholders have the possibility of requesting early redemption (put option) on January 18 in 2006, 2010, and 2014. As part of a continuing move to simplify its balance sheet, on January 5, 2005 Publicis Groupe proposed early redemption of 2018 OCEANEs (bonds convertible into new or existing shares), through an additional put option granted to bondholders to be exercized in January/February 2005. 62% of the 2018 OCEANE?s outstanding nominal amount was exercised pursuant to the additional early redemption option. From February 10, 2005 the outstanding nominal amount is approximately EUR 262 million, representing only 6.7 million bonds.

In January 2006, some bondholders exercised their put option, thus eliminating another 6.5% of the issue. The number of outstanding bonds after this transaction is 5.5 million.
