17205: Omnicom-IPG Deal Awaits Worldwide Approval.

 

MediaPost reported only two countries have not yet submitted regulatory approvals for the Omnicom acquisition of IPG: the European Union and Mexico.

 

Hey, if President Donald J. Trump comments on the matter—given his perspectives concerning the EU and Mexico—the entire deal could go down the toilet.

 

And Then There Were Two: Mexico, EU

Omnicom and Interpublic have confirmed that they have received all but two regional regulatory approvals required to proceed with their combination. 

 

Along with the European Union, the remaining country yet to greenlight the deal is Mexico. 

 

The firms said they still expect to complete their transaction by the end of the year.  

 

Separately, the firms said they’re extending the expiration date to Oct. 31 for the previously announced exchange offers and consent solicitations for IPG’s outstanding notes.
