JCDecaux SA (Euronext Paris: DEC), the number one outdoor advertising company worldwide, announces that, further to the decision by the Paris Administrative Court to cancel the tender procedure used to award the city’s information and advertising street furniture contract, its subsidiary SOMUPI (66% owned by JCDecaux and 34% by Publicis group) will lodge an appeal with the Conseil d’Etat (the country’s supreme court for administrative law). JCDecaux considers that its bid was in order and compliant with the provisions of the Local Advertising Regulations.
