First Quarter 2021 Revenue - Returning to growth in Q1 in a challenging environment April 15, 2021 Solid organic growth of +2.8% in Q1, thanks to our transformationU.S. positive for the second quarter in a row at +5.1% organic, with: Publicis Sapient at +11.2% Mid-single digit growth for Epsilon for the 2nd consecutive quarter, at +4.7% Double-digit growth in digital media Acceleration of organic growth in Asia at +5.7%, +3.0% in ChinaSequential improvement in Europe at -1.8% (+2.8% excluding MediaTransports and the Drugstore)Uncertainties remain due to still evolving sanitary conditions Q1 2021 § 2021 Net revenue €2,392m§ 2020 Net revenue €2,481m§ Organic growth+2.8%§ Growth at constant currencies+2.7%§ Reported growth-3.6% Arthur Sadoun, Chairman and CEO of Publicis Groupe: “In an environment that remains challenging, Publicis Groupe is returning to positive organic growth. Thanks to the effects of our transformation, we posted a solid +2.8% in Q1, ahead of expectations. This performance is mainly driven by the U.S. and Asia, which already outperformed all of our competitors in 2020. Our U.S. operations were positive for the second quarter in a row, with +5.1% organic growth. We continued to capture a disproportionate amount of the shift in client investment towards digital channels, e-commerce and DTC, as demonstrated in the acceleration of Publicis Sapient’s U.S growth at +11.2%. It is also visible with Epsilon, posting mid-single digit growth for the second consecutive quarter, at +4.7%. In Asia, we reported an acceleration in organic growth of +5.7% for Q1. China returned to growth at +3.0%, as it began to benefit from a strong series of wins over the past 18 months. Europe meanwhile is showing sequential improvement, with a performance that was slightly down in Q1 at -1.8%. Excluding Mediatransports, and The Drugstore, on the Champs-Elysées, organic growth in Europe was at +2.8%. Some countries like France and Germany are returning to growth, but ongoing lockdowns weighed on some of our operations. On the new business front, Q1 has been very busy, with some structural wins like L’Oréal Media business in China, Infinity’s global creative, AB Inbev’s data business, Toyota’s entire advertising portfolio in Australia, Unilever Shopper Marketing and Samsung media in the U.S. For the rest of the year, we will continue to focus on our main priorities: putting our people first by safeguarding their health and wellbeing; staying close to our clients, who are under pressure to reinvent their business model; and accelerating on our product roadmap, which is advancing well, as demonstrated by our recent partnership with The Trade Desk. Of course, returning to growth earlier than expected raises even further the confidence we have in our model, and I would like to thank our people for their incredible efforts and our clients for their trust. Nonetheless, we remain cautious in what is a still very challenging environment.” * * * NET REVENUE IN Q1 2021 Publicis Groupe’s net revenue in Q1 2021 was 2,392 million euros, down by 3.6% from 2,481 million euros in 2020. Exchange rates had a negative impact of 151 million euros. Acquisitions, net of disposals, accounted for a decrease in net revenue of 3 million euros. Organic growth stood at +2.8%, a solid number supported by the performance in the U.S. Breakdown of Q1 2021 Net revenue by region EURNet revenueReportedOrganicmillionQ1 2021Q1 2020GrowthGrowthNorth America1,5051,555-3.2%+4.7%Europe561578-2.9%-1.8%Asia Pacific217219-0.9%+5.7%Middle East & Africa 6275-17.3%-11.0%Latin America4754-13.0%+7.7%Total2,3922,481-3.6%+2.8% North America net revenue was up by 4.7% on an organic basis in Q1 2021, down by 3.2% reported due to the US dollar exchange rate. This includes a solid performance in the U.S., up by 5.1% on an organic basis, demonstrating further sequential improvement and positive for the second quarter in a row. This is the result of a faster than expected economic recovery in the country, combined with the strength of the Groupe’s model that allowed to capture the shift in client investment towards digital, e-commerce and direct-to-consumer. Publicis Sapient was up by 11.2%, benefitting from the encouraging pipeline that started to pick up in Q3 2020. Epsilon recorded a +4.7% growth, driven by digital media, data practice, as well as recovery in automotive and further cross-fertilization with existing Groupe’s clients. Outside Epsilon, digital media activities were up double digit, supporting the growth of Media overall. Creative was broadly flat and Health activities were up double digit for the fourth consecutive quarter. Canada was down 4.4% organically. Net revenue in Europe was down by 2.9% on a reported basis. It was down by 1.8% on an organic basis, but it is worth mentioning that excluding the French outdoor media activities and the Drugstore, Europe was up by 2.8% on an organic basis. Some countries like France and Germany returned to organic growth, at +4.9% (excluding MediaTransports and the Drugstore) and +6.0% respectively. But ongoing government restrictions in the region continued to weigh on some of our largest operations, like in the UK, which declined organically by -3.4%. Net revenue in Asia Pacific was down by 0.9% on a reported basis, but returned to positive on an organic basis at +5.7%. China, which was the first country impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, posted an organic growth of +3.0% thanks to a better sanitary context and strong series of wins. India and Australia both recorded dynamic organic growth in Q1. Middle East & Africa declined by 17.3% in net revenue, or -11.0% on an organic basis, remaining impacted by the sanitary situation and impacted by a particularly high comparison base for Publicis Sapient. Net revenue in Latin America was down by 13.0% on a reported basis due to currency impact, it was up by 7.7% on an organic basis. Brazil was broadly flat, while Mexico, Argentina and Columbia saw an increase in organic growth. Breakdown of net revenue at March 31, 2021 by sector On the basis of 2,984 clients representing 92% of net revenue NET DEBT AND LIQUIDITY Net debt totaled 1,866 million euros at the end of March 2021, compared with 833 million euros at year-end 2020, reflecting the seasonality in the activity. Net debt was 4,094 million euros at the end of March 2020. The Groupe’s average net debt stood at 1,497 million euros in the first quarter 2021, compared to 3,486 million euros in the first quarter 2020. The Groupe’s liquidity position remains very solid, at 5.1 billion euros, improving by around 400 million euros compared to 4.7 billion euros a year ago. Furthermore, following the merger of MMS USA Investments Inc. into MMS USA Holdings Inc. that took place on March 31st 2021, MMS USA Holdings Inc. is the new issuer of the 2025 (FR0013425139), 2028 (FR0013425147), et 2031 (FR0013425154) eurobonds. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS There were no significant transaction on the period. OUTLOOK The first quarter demonstrated a better than expected start of the year. As far as Q2 is concerned, the Groupe expects to recover between 60% to 80% of what it lost in Q2 2020, implying an organic growth between 8% and 10%, assuming no further deterioration in sanitary conditions. The crisis is not over yet, and a limited visibility continues to prevent the Groupe from giving a full year revenue guidance for 2021. As announced at the Full Year 2020 results, the Groupe will update further in July at its Half Year 2021 results, when the visibility on the economic and sanitary situation will have improved. In the meantime, the Groupe will continue to manage its cost base and its cash tightly while preserving its agility and investing in future growth, providing confidence in delivering on the margin and cash objectives set for the year. The Groupe confirms that its operating margin rate will improve by up to 50 basis points in 2021, consolidating further the achievement of 2020. The Groupe also confirms that its free cash flow before change in working capital should be around 1.2 billion euros in 2021, contributing to the Groupe’s deleveraging plans.

Data: CSSE Johns Hopkins University; Map: Andrew Witherspoon/AxiosThe number of new coronavirus infections in the U.S continues to rise, making a quick, clean end to the pandemic less and less likely.The big picture: Much of the U.S. is relying almost exclusively on vaccines to control the virus, abandoning social distancing and other safety measures. And that’s helping the virus to steadily gain ground even as vaccinations barrel ahead.Get market news worthy of your time with Axios Markets. Subscribe for free.By the numbers: The U.S. averaged roughly 71,000 new cases per day over the past week. That’s about a 9% jump over the daily average from the week before.The number of new cases rose over the past week in 25 states, and only declined in six.Why it matters: Another surge in cases is likely to be a lot less deadly than previous waves, because so many vulnerable Americans have been vaccinated. But it will provide fertile conditions for the virus to continue mutating into new variants, keeping the coronavirus in our lives even longer.The bottom line: The less you do to control the coronavirus, the harder it becomes to control the coronavirus in the future. Each week, Axios tracks the change in new infections in each state. We use a seven-day average to minimize the effects of day-to-day discrepancies in states’ reporting.Like this article?

ImCheck Therapeutics Appoints Dr. Loui Madakamutil, Noted Expert in Immunology and Autoimmune Diseases, as Chief Scientific Officer Marseille, France, April 15, 2021 – ImCheck Therapeutics today announced the appointment of Loui Madakamutil, PhD, as Chief Scientific Officer (CSO). Dr. Madakamutil brings over 20 years of experience in developing transformative therapies that harness the immune system, having served in senior research and development positions in global biopharmaceutical companies including Nektar Therapeutics, Janssen, Takeda and Celgene. He will be responsible for advancing ImCheck’s extensive portfolio of novel preclinical-stage antibodies designed to engage the butyrophilin (BTN) superfamily of immune modulators with the potential to treat cancer, infectious and autoimmune diseases. “Loui’s expertise in immunology together with his understanding of cancer and autoimmune diseases will complement ImCheck’s focus on butyrophilins and γδ T cell engagement as we expand our product portfolio, in particular as we move our lead program ICT01 further through clinical evaluation,” stated Pierre d’Epenoux, Chief Executive Officer of ImCheck Therapeutics. “With Loui at the head of our discovery and preclinical development, his experience in advancing drug candidates successfully from target discovery into the clinic will accelerate our therapeutic pipeline with the goal of bringing a range of transformative therapies closer to patients. I would like to thank our previous CSO René Hoet for his contributions to the current success of our company.” “ImCheck has already demonstrated the exciting anti-tumor activity of its first-in-class antibody ICT01, and its ability to activate γ9δ2 T cells. ImCheck’s deep knowledge of the BTN space and the significant potential of its early-staged portfolio places the company in a disruptive phase and it is a tremendous opportunity to join the company,” added Loui Madakamutil, Chief Scientific Officer of ImCheck Therapeutics. “I look forward to working with Pierre and the ImCheck team to explore the potential of its pipeline to modulate adaptive and innate immune responses and to provide impactful new treatment options to patients suffering from devastating diseases like cancer.” Before joining ImCheck, Dr. Madakamutil was the Chief Scientific Officer and co-founder at Invivoscribe Therapeutics where he pioneered the development of a small molecule precision oncology program for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. Prior to this, he held the position as Senior Vice President and Head of Discovery and Preclinical Development at Nektar Therapeutics where he was responsible for the discovery strategy and for bringing novel immune-modulatory medicines for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases toward clinical evaluation. He also served in several senior leadership positions in R&D and preclinical development at Janssen Inc., Takeda and Celgene. Through these positions, Dr. Madakamutil has built a significant network in the US and globally. He did his Post-Doctoral training at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology and graduated from the University of Mumbai, India, with a PhD in Immunology. *** About IMCHECK THERAPEUTICS ImCheck Therapeutics is designing and developing a new generation of immunotherapeutic antibodies positioned at the crossroads of two high-potential immunological fields: γ9δ2 T cells and butyrophilins (BTN), a novel super-family of checkpoint molecules. Due to their mechanism of action, and notably their ability to simultaneously modulate innate and adaptive immunity, ImCheck's “first-in-class” activating antibodies may be able to produce superior clinical results as compared to the first-generation of immune checkpoint inhibitors and when used in combination to overcome the resistance to this group of agents. In addition, preclinical experiments with ImCheck’s antagonist antibodies are being evaluated as potential treatments for autoimmune diseases. Co-founder of the Marseille Immunopole cluster, ImCheck benefits from the continued support from scientific founder Prof. Daniel Olive (INSERM, CNRS, Institut Paoli Calmettes, Aix-Marseille Université), a worldwide leader in γδ T cells and BTN research, and from the commitment of leading US and European investors.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BOTS, Inc. (OTC: BTZI), a vertical integrator and an emerging innovator of products, technologies, and services for the rapidly growing digital robotics automation and manufacturing industry, today announced the increased capacity of Bitcoin and Ethereum miner rig repairs nationwide -conducted through our newly authorized repair facility. Our affiliated repair facility will be able to repair and process up to 1000 bitcoin miners per day. The expansion comes at a time when the dramatic rise of Bitcoin price is fueling a robust appetite for bitcoin mining farms as miners begin to discover the much-needed services provided by Bots, Inc. As reported earlier, Bitcoinmagazine.com recently wrote: "Mining equipment shortages, not just in North America but around the world, including China, are currently a big issue in the industry. As bitcoin's price continues to reach all-time highs, there is pressure on ASIC foundries and equipment manufacturers to try and meet the demand from both newly interested customers and older mining companies that need to upgrade to remain competitive. Estimated wait times for new mining equipment are at least six months, with leading manufacturers like Bitmain sold out until September 2021. There has also been a significant price increase in the secondary market for used ASICs. Researchandmarkets.com published Global Cryptocurrency Mining Hardware Market 2020-2024 report indicated that the cryptocurrency mining hardware market is poised to grow by $ 2.80 bn during 2020-2024, progressing at a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period. BOTS' Internal research indicates that demand for refurbished cryptocurrency mining electronic equipment in emerging nations is also a significant driver augmenting the market. There are millions of Bitcoins and Ethereum mining rigs deployed in the USA. Bitmain customers report high failure rates occurring on leading Bitcoin mining hardware which are experiencing a 20 to 30% failure rate, creating an ever-growing demand for our repair services. U.S.-based bitcoin miner repair capacity is significantly lagging. Bots Inc will be introducing and offering as its newest service, the first-ever bitcoin miners warranty program in North America, in the immediate future. About BOTS, Inc.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- By reducing personal income tax rates, the federal government could facilitate the creation of 110,000 new private sector jobs, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan, Canadian public policy think-tank. “Due to the unprecedented job losses caused by COVID-19 and the lockdowns, governments must enact polices to help grow the economy and create jobs, and tax policy is a good place to start,” said Ergete Ferede, professor of economics at MacEwan University and author of Will Cutting Income Taxes Create Jobs for Canadians? Higher income tax rates reduce after-tax income, reducing the incentives to work and discouraging entrepreneurship, which hurts private-sector job creation. According to the study, if the federal government reduced the top personal income tax rate from 33 per cent back down to 29 per cent (the rate before the 2016 tax hike), it would facilitate the creation of approximately 110,000 private-sector jobs the following year. “If Ottawa wants to encourage private sector job creation and help spur the COVID recovery, it should consider reducing the top personal income rate.” MEDIA CONTACT: Jake Fuss, Senior Policy AnalystFraser Institute Ergete Ferede, Professor of Economics, MacEwan University To arrange media interviews or for more information, please contact:Drue MacPherson, Fraser Institute(604) 688-0221 ext. 721drue.macpherson@fraserinstitute.org Follow the Fraser Institute on Twitter | Become a fan on Facebook The Fraser Institute is an independent Canadian public policy research and educational organization with offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal and ties to a global network of think-tanks in 87 countries.
