BlackRock Crosses Threshold in Publicis Groupe

On November 22, 2024, BlackRock, Inc., acting on behalf of clients and funds, crossed the threshold of 5% of voting rights in Publicis Groupe SA, according to a declaration received on November 25, 2024. The company now holds 13,995,378 shares, representing 5.50% of the capital and 5.02% of the voting rights of Publicis Groupe. This crossing results from an increase in shares held as collateral.

BlackRock, as investment manager, has the discretionary power to exercise voting rights, unless otherwise instructed by its clients. Of the shares, 249,119 are held as collateral. Publicis Groupe is thus under the increased influence of BlackRock in terms of voting rights.
