Both were recorded as acquisitions (code A) at a reported price of $0.00 because they are awards/deferred compensation under the company's plan.
• These awards represent deferred director compensation (one grant is a quarterly payment of his annual retainer) and include dividends on deferred shares that were reinvested and credited April 9, 2026.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-07-01; reported on Form 4 filed 2026-07-06 (filed after the typical 2-business-day reporting window).
• Shares and price: 703.69 shares @ $0.00 (A); 308.94 shares @ $0.00 (A) — total 1,012.63 shares.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing details.
• Footnotes: F1 — deferred receipt under Omnicom’s 2026 Incentive Award Plan; F2 — deferred quarterly retainer payment under same plan; F3 — includes dividends on deferred shares reinvested (credited 4/9/2026).
• Timeliness: Form 4 was filed five days after the transaction date, outside the common 2-business-day reporting timeframe for Section 16 insiders.

Context

• This was an award/deferred-compensation transaction (not an open-market purchase or sale), which is routine for board members and reflects compensation mechanics rather than an explicit buy or sell signal.
• For retail investors tracking insider activity, awards show how directors are being compensated and whether they choose to defer receipt; they do not necessarily indicate the director’s view of the company’s near-term prospects.
