Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On November 9, 2016, MDC Partners Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it has reached an agreement in principle to resolve the ongoing investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The SEC Commissioners must still approve the proposed framework agreement, which was reached with the Philadelphia Regional Office of the SEC, and therefore the terms are not final.

 

A copy of the press release announcing the proposed framework agreement is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

            

The foregoing information (including the exhibit hereto) is being furnished under “Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.” Such information (including the exhibits hereto) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

The foregoing information and the exhibit hereto contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are based on present expectations, and are subject to the limitations listed therein and in the Company's other SEC reports, including that actual events or results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
