Deals between OMC and its directors, executives, owners of more than 5% or their families: a relative on the payroll,
a plane the company charters from its CEO, a director's company that buys from it. SEC rules (Item 404) make the company list every such deal over $120,000 in its proxy statement.
Below: what the proxy filed 2026-03-26 reports that the one filed 2025-03-27 did not, quoted as filed.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
“We review all relationships and transactions between Omnicom or its subsidiaries and related persons to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. Related persons include any director, nominee for director, executive officer or their immediate family members. Although we do not have a written policy governing such transactions, Omnicom’s legal staff is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and executive officers with respect to related person transactions and for then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether the Company or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. As part of this process, and pursuant to our Audit Committee’s charter, the Audit Committee reviews our policies and procedures with respect to related person transactions. These policies and procedures have been communicated to, and are periodically reviewed with, our directors and executive officers, and the Audit Committee documents in its minutes any actions that it takes with respect to such matters. Under SEC rules, transactions that are determined to be directly or indirectly material to Omnicom, its subsidiaries or a related person are required to be disclosed in Omnicom’s Proxy Statement. In the course of reviewing a related party transaction, Omnicom considers (a) the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction, (b) the material terms of the transaction, (c) the importance of the transaction to the related person and Omnicom or its subsidiaries, (d) whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in the best interest of Omnicom, and (e) any other matters deemed appropriate.”

Paragraphs are compared by their words, not read by AI: one counts as new when no paragraph last year shares half of its words, or when it names a person or company last year's section did not.
A deal reported again with a new amount is not new. Always check the filing.
