WPP in response has said:

“WPP notes the recent press speculation and confirms that, as part of the previously announced process for the sale of a majority of Kantar, WPP has entered into exclusive discussions with Bain Capital for the sale of a majority shareholding in Kantar, with a headline enterprise value (for 100%) of c.$4bn.”
