Documents Re: Scheme of Arrangement



On 26 August 2005, the Board of WPP announced its proposal to implement a
corporate reorganisation, by way of a Court approved scheme of arrangement under
section 425 of the Companies Act 1985, to introduce a new listed holding company
for the group (New WPP) which will then implement a reduction of capital to
create additional distributable reserves.



WPP announces that a circular setting out the details of the proposed scheme of
arrangement and reduction of capital was lodged with the UK Listing Authority
and posted to share owners on 31 August 2005.  A prospectus relating to the
proposed admission to the Official List and to trading on the London Stock
Exchange of up to 1,270,000,000 Ordinary Shares of 475p each in New WPP (which
will be renamed WPP Group plc on admission) was also filed with the UK Listing
Authority and published on the same date.



The circular and prospectus are available for inspection at the UK Listing
Authority's Document Viewing Facility, which is situated at:



Financial Services Authority

25 The North Colonnade

Canary Wharf

London

E14 5HS



Telephone: [phone]



Copies of the circular and prospectus are also available for inspection at the
registered office of WPP and New WPP (in both cases Pennypot Industrial Estate,
Hythe, Kent CT21 6PE) and at the offices of Allen & Overy LLP, One New Change,
London EC4M 9QQ.  Copies of the prospectus may be obtained, free of charge, from
WPP or New WPP (as above, or 020 7408 2204).
