Forward-Looking Statements
In
connection with the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”), WPP plc and its
subsidiaries (the “Company”) may include
forward-looking statements (as defined in the Reform Act) in oral
or written public statements issued by or on behalf of the Company.
These forward-looking statements may include, among other things,
plans, objectives, projections and anticipated future economic
performance based on assumptions and the like that are subject to
risks and uncertainties. As such, actual results or outcomes may
differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements. Important factors that may cause actual results to
differ include but are not limited to: the unanticipated loss of a
material client or key personnel, delays or reductions in client
advertising budgets, shifts in industry rates of compensation,
regulatory compliance costs or litigation, natural disasters or
acts of terrorism, the Company’s exposure to changes in the
values of major currencies other than the UK pound sterling
(because a substantial portion of its revenues are derived and
costs incurred outside of the United Kingdom) and the overall level
of economic activity in the Company’s major markets (which
varies depending on, among other things, regional, national and
international political and economic conditions and government
regulations in the world’s advertising markets). In addition,
you should consider the risks described in Item 3D, captioned
“Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 20-F for the
year ended 31 December 2019, which could also cause actual results
to differ from forward-looking information. In light of these and
other uncertainties, the forward-looking statements included in the
oral or written public statements should not be regarded as a
representation by the Company that the Company’s plans and
objectives will be achieved.
The
Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any such
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
